Welcome to Pablo Torre finds out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is. Katie Nolan, you foiled my first two soldiers. The third one won't miss. Right after this ad. You're listening to Giraff Kings Network. I was explaining to Dan on the way over here how legit this podcast is and that you do such like interesting investigations into things that are like fascinating to listen to.

Sure. And he was like, I thought this was the podcast. I was like, oh, no, we're the goof-off day. We're the day where they're like, enough of the real stuff. Oh, man. Here are these two goobers. Yeah. It's essential to our collective mental health that we have a day a week where it's just like, can we just like f*** her out?

Yes. And I think it's actually every day of my. That's right. It's every day of my life. And that is. Lucky charm cereal at that, like the real unhealthy. Cinnamon toast crunch, little CTC for dinner. I don't know why Apple Jacks is always forgotten.

Because they're not that unhealthy. There's an apple in them. So I think of those is. healthy cereal. For those who are not watching on YouTube in the Draft Kings Network. What's your problem? Are you mad at me?

Why don't you support Katie Nolan's march through Celebrity Jeopardy History? I want to tell us straight this to the extent that we can actually break this down and dissect it. Okay, I love this. For those who did not see your quarterfinal run, Dan, how would you summarize, Dan,

how would you summarize what they may have missed? In the quarterfinal matcha? That's right. It was a thrill ride where she came out strong in the first round, you know, is just nailing all the questions. Chef Jamie Oliver's website says that if you use lamb instead of beef for cottage pie, it should go by this occupational name. Katie. What is Shepard's Pie? You got it.

I did? Katie. What is a Leo? Correct. Katie. Again. What is a levee? Take my Chevy to the Levy, yes.

Then a little detective work by Christopher. Christopher Maloney. Detective Stabler. Detective Stabler gets on as detective work and starts catching up a little bit. A little bit. But then Katie has a sizable lead for Final Jeopardy, and then the reveal is she did the math wrong.

Math is not your favorite part of the game. I made a mistake. You just had to wager more than $3,500. Right. And you're a deadian. You wagered exactly $35. I'm a moron. Oh, my God.

Christopher and Katie are exactly tied. And we're going to be going to a tie breaker No, come on. It tied in Final Jeopardy, coming down to a final death shootout. One question. I've never seen this before. Drink up.

A famous New Orleans street is named after this dynasty that ruled France for most of the 17th and 18th centuries. Katie. What is bourbon? It is bourbon. Fun fact, I'm the first contestant to take any jeopardy episode into the fifth round

Oh, because there's three and slowy jeopardy. And that's normally not So it was technically the fifth round So that's something to be proud of So you're a historical figure. Yeah. The speed, the clarity,

the... Easiest question on earth. The unbiased reporting of her fiance in the recounting. The grace. So this was different. This is the semifinal. This was different.

This was very different. So it's Katie Nolan, it's Stephen Weber, who you might remember from Chicago Med? Wings. Wings. Wings for me. He was the first guy your dad's age you thought was cute if you were me. And I don't think he is my dad's age.

But in my head, he was like an adult man that young girls had a crush on. Would you say he was the Zaddy prototype? Yes, I would. Thank you. Curly locks. Yeah. Well, you got him and Tim Daly. It's just Legion of Doom.

It's the road warriors of handsome Of early 90s hunkery They were cute You got, I mean, they That show by the way FYI is stacked Because you also It's not just Stephen Weber

And Tim Daly on wings And yeah we're gonna go down A little wing side road here I was hoping You also got Crystal Bernard As the female protagonist She's unbelievable Yep

A lot of people don't realize Tony Shalube No Akah monk No way Played the taxi driver Antonio Scarpetti. Oh, shit.

Scarpetti. Playing Italian. Carpachi. Excuse me. Carpatchi? And then, laying in the wings. Wings. The Dauber of the program, for any of you coach fans out there with Craig T. Nelson.

He really was, I liked him and Dauber because they were both white dudes with extraordinarily deep voices. Loll gang. Loll gang, dude. Thomas Hayden Church. Oh, yeah. As Loll Mather, the mechanic. I do not remember anything about this show.

Oh, I actually watch us as a kid. So did I. I don't remember. USA used to run back-to-back wings from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. That was like Las Vegas that they do. I think now it's Las Vegas. Okay. And you just wake up and be like, nothing, nothing, wings, whatever.

Let's go to Nantucket for a half hour. Yeah, what is this small airport in Nantucket have going on? Sure. I want to know the inner workings of an airport. Yeah, it was an airport on Nantucket Island. Hmm. But. Anyway.

That's over. And what he is now is a nemesis. I mean, Katie Nolan cannot do an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy without getting into a blood feud. She gets into beefs. With a white guy from TV that you love. With a handsome white dude from the 90s. Yep. Oops.

And also, Dulay Hill is there. Shout out to Dooley Hill. The Sweetest. West Wing. He was so nice. He was so nice. He also had done, I don't think I'm giving away any secrets because I think that they had to write when it was taped on the corner of the the screen because that happened in the episode. These were taped on the same day.

So, uh, Dule had just won his semi-final and then we did the final. So he was back-to-back games and three rounds of Jeopardy in a row is a lot of Jeopardy in a row. You packed an outfit change. Yeah. Yeah. So there's, there's already some psychological. This was like a year ago to me. It's very, it's been a very strange experience.

It was awesome. It was a very long time ago. I have witnessed a lot of. very fun sports games, a lot of, sports games, but I've been to a lot of fun games. I've been to a lot of cool concerts where maybe my friends were performing. I've been to special tapings. This was the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever watched in the audience, ever. I kept thinking of Dan Soder, ever. As I was watching this for the first time on ABC, and I want to relive this by going through the plot of how this unfolded. Because it's a lot. Because it's just a lot. I love it.

It didn't start off great for our girl, Katie Nolan. It did not start off great. It was a lot like this. Numerical place names for 500. Of the states, you can stand in at the corner's monuments. Oh, no. This one really killed me. This one heard it home. I know.

Katie. What is Nevada? I'm sorry, no. Steve Lurley. It's actually Utah. Utah. No. Utah, Ken.

Shut up, Stephen. Stephen. Shut up, Stephen. You take that humor back to the Antucketutut. That killed me Look, he's from Colorado I won't get those wrong anymore Somewhere

There is a picture At my mom's house Of a 10-year-old Dan In a dinosaur t-shirt In all four states at once Because that's what you do When you go to the four corners You put

You do the crab walk When you're in Nevada Thing and you're like I'm technically in four states Utah Twilter across Yes Utah Colorado

Arizona New Mexico Correct Never gonna mess that up again Yeah. Four corners. But that was that answer or incorrect answer. Yeah, thanks. It seemed to get into your head a little bit in conjunction with Stephen Weber being a guy who was poking and prodding.

Whole show. And whole show and also buzzing in with a speed that put Katie Nolan, who we had praised previously, as a champion buzzer in her to shame. Yeah, one thing I'm not proud of watching the tape back is how obvious. I made it when I buzzed and it didn't buzz It was very obvious The faces I made I'm like I really wish I didn't do that Well we had

We had watched Celebrity Jeopardy The season before And noticed B.J. Novak. B.J. Novak Got very mad. Very upset When he was like, come on!

So we kind of knew we're not to go like Katie knew I think we're not to go But I didn't notice until watching it back last night how close I got to getting there. It's very easy to piss you off. And when she missed that question,

and I did react like a football dad that cares too much. God damn it. And I said, don't touch me. Don't touch me. She knows I'm from Colorado. The up for you was a category that I just got to point out that was wildly impressive. Really? Now, I'm going to tell you.

You know what I'm talking about. And this is, I'm excited to tell the story because I told the story to Katie while was going on. I watch Jeopardy with Katie every night. Word categories. She loves word puzzles. She does crosswords. She just knows words.

She likes puns, all that shit. Words are her strength. She's a very good writer. Yes. Word categories in jeopardy, she smokes. So when there was an acronym one, I was like, oh, this shit. And then she started cooking on it. This is how animal idiom brain teasers went.

Animal idiom brain teeters for 200. This is her foods with a letter, kids. Please be patient for a moment. H-Y-H. Katie? What is, hold your horses? That's it. Ah.

Yeah. Look at you. That's so bad. Shush. That's real. That's real heat, brother. Four, six. Don't forget how many other single people

are out there in the dating pool. T-A-P-O-F-I-T-S. This is so hard. Katie. It's so easy. What is? There are plenty of fish in the sea. What?

What is happening? There's your Wheel of Fortune. And he isn't his daily double yet, so he's getting nervous. Yes. Oh, my God. OMG. All right, let's do,

since he likes it so much, we'll keep doing an animal, Idiom Brain Teasers for 800. Make all the necessary preparations before you start. G-Y-D-I-A-R. Katie. What is Get Your Ducks in a row? Yes.

What the hell? Oh, my God. Oh, gosh. Let's do Animal A-Diam Brain Teasers for 1,000. I like this. You can do anything you wish or go anywhere you want in this life. T-W-I-O. Katie.

What is the world is your oyster? Wow. You have found your category. yellow on it. No. He said no. He said no. About the fourth correct answer,

I felt like Billy Hoyle and white men can't jump. And foods start with the letter Q. And I leaned over to Ken Jennings. And I swear to God this is real, because I had to do it to somebody. I was like, I have to quote, white men can't jump to somebody. Yes.

And I leaned over to Ken Jennings' wife, who was sitting an empty seat, and then her, and I said, she's in the zone and she goes, what? And I went, it's from white men can't jump. Who is Rosie Perez

is a question she might have actually asked you in that moment. Yeah, yeah, she would have been like, who's Rosie Perez? And you're like, believe you! I'm not to Ken Jennings' wife

in the audience with a blanket over her legs. Like a football wife. It was very sweet. She had the blanket she knows how the studio gets called. Like when you go to a high school football game and you see a family

that's had older kids come through and play high school football, they have different things. They have like a cooler We had that seat cushion that goes on to the belt of the wheelchair. The mom always has a blanket on her legs because they know. And Ken Jennings' wife knows that about the Jeopardy Studio. This is how Katie Nolan climbs back into the game.

Yeah. Only to set up Stephen Weber, who was kind of a little playing possum, I thought, because then he gets into the true Daily Double. Yeah. And at that point, Katie Nolan. I thought it was over. It's stressed the f*** out. That's right.

Yeah. Aretha Franklin's 2018 Obit cited this song as a harbinger of feminism, carried by a voice that would accept nothing less. What is respect? You just doubled your money, Stephen. Wow. When I was watching it, I was like, oh, fuck. Yeah, same.

I was like, oh, damn, that sucks. It was a good run. This was funny, some funny moments. I'm sweating through my shirt. I don't sweat a lot in my armpits. I sweat. I sweated through my shirt. I was, and I was thinking, because again, same day.

So earlier in the day, Dan was doing a podcast. Shout out, Bill Burr. He had to do Bill Burr, and I was like, he's like, if it were anybody else, I think about, consider. I have a lot of friends in L.A. He's like, massive Bill Burr fan. And I was like, I get that. I get that.

I'm reporting, absolutely go. And I was like, but we were lucky because it made you be in L.A., so we were out there together. But anyway, so I did the first episode, and I won, but I almost lost. And in that moment, I was thinking, oh no, Dan's not going to get to see me on Jeopardy, but I won. So then we go to this next one, and at that point, I thought,

oh no, he's going to see me lose. He's not going to see me win. This is a real bummer. I brought him here just to lose in his face. And then I was thinking at the time, I'm going to go online and buy every DVD of wings and burn it, like Fahrenheit 4.51. I'm going to go burn all the copies.

Just burn it off the planet. I'm going to ask for it to be. released from Paramel Plunk. It was a pleasure to burn. Yeah. It was, man, it was scary. But it really helped that he was being a jerk. Yes.

Because then I was like, let's go. But end of double jeopardy. That, my friends, is where this story really escalates. New York Times obitroy's for a million, Ken. 600. We can do 600. Okay. This surrealist's 1989 obit noted,

when he hallucinated in the late 1920s, the whole world hallucinated with him. Stephen? Who is Dali? Correct again. New York Times obituaries for eight? Weird sound? The growl.

His 2018 obit described him as a physicist and author who roamed the cosmos from a wheelchair. Stephen? Who's hawking? Yes. Obituaries for a thousand. Let's finish it off. This actor's 2016 obit mentioned he had outlived

by about 34 years an erroneous report of his death that made him a cult figure. Stephen. Who's Abe Vigoda? You just ran that category, Stephen. Yep, very good, very good, Stephen. Very good, very good.

I've got the God thumb. Stephen, is one of the advantages of getting older being very good at obituary trivia? Yes. Let me tell you something, man. Okay, seriously, I read the New York Times obituary. Looking for your friends? Look.

Oh. I don't know if I have heard a Jeopardy crowd turn into, like, Rucker Park. Yeah, what you didn't see was me running up and down the audience with a, I had a bullhorn. Oh, that's how we play around in. Half lady, half amazing. His wings got clipped. Oh.

Yeah, they really were. It turned into a deaf jam. Oh, my God. Which was great. It was, man, it was fun to watch. It was very, that episode was so fun to watch because there was a good, it's like wrestling, good heel. there was a good baby face? We had real heat in commercial breaks,

which I didn't realize until afterwards that most of his shit talking didn't make air because it was during commercial breaks. And so I think in the months since we did that, I told Dan, I was like, I'm worried that I'm gonna look like a real jerk with that line about the obituaries

if that makes it in because I don't think any of the stuff he was doing to me made it to air. Yeah. But watching it back, it did. How would you characterize what he was doing in between? He was just trying to get Dan's attention. He was talking to Dan in the audience.

And he kept... He was talking to shit. Yeah, I know. But I was trying to be a little nice about it. But any time I would say anything, he would go, you got real lucky with this one to Dan. Like, he wouldn't address me. He identified Dan in the crowd because Dan, of course,

was running through the aisles with a bullhorn. That was pretty loud about it. Addressed Dan, but like it was like... It was like... Like I said something to him and then he would turn to a gut, my man who wasn't even on stage and turned to him and address him instead of answering me. Also, because I know how I walked Katie to stage, I held her hand like this and then I walked her on stage and I said, you're safe here.

I'll come and get you after the game. That's why Stephen was talking to me. Yes, you delicately set her down at the dais. And I said, I'll come back for you. Don't move, okay? Don't wander away. And if he needs to speak to someone, I'll be in the audience. to me.

Yeah, so after the, like, fifth time he did that, I was like, I think I genuinely... I think you said, I'm sitting right here. Or I said, like, stop doing that. I'm right here. Okay. Triple Jeopardy is upon us. This is when it happens. Yeah.

And Stephen Weber, at this point, just for clarity, had more than doubled your score. He'd run the category, the O-Bid stuff. It was a great burn, but clearly motivated by a... I'm losing. A great heel work. A fear. Yeah, you could say a fear, sure. That I sensed at least as your friend.

But that fear didn't show up when this happened. There's an app for that, 900. The answer there. Let's go. Hey. Hey. Yeah. Now, a big wager here could really change this game, Katie.

What will it be? All in? Damn. Hands to the center of the table. $9,000 at risk. Didn't say a word. There's an app for that. Here's your clue.

A 2,000 miler is someone who is high. this entire route from Maine to Georgia. What is the Appalachian Trail? Appalachian, Appalachian. The pure excitement. The pure excitement. Whole new ballgame. That's exhilarating.

It's pretty good, right? Yeah, I liked that quite a bit. The transparency of emotion was my favorite thing to track, you. Yeah, you could watch it in all forms. You got to see her become frustrated, become sad, become despondent, and then get back, grab a little lightning, and then start moving. I'm an open book, folks. Well, you end up getting in Triple Jeopardy all three daily doubles. Yeah, I was on purpose. I hunted. You knew where to go. I was hunting. I was like, look, at this point,

because we had talked about it before, and it was like something like the numbers show that even if you get them wrong. It's better than letting your competitor get them statistically. So I was like, okay, what I have to do is take the daily doubles off the board. So I'm going to... Wait, how do you hunt them? You look around like the six, eight, well, in triple jeopardy, what are the numbers? I don't know. It's like three, six. Three, six, nine. So you look around like the middle, middle to the bottom. Very rarely are they the actual bottom, but sometimes, but usually like those, you know, bottom ones. And so I went hunting for them. And I found them. And I took them off the board. There's one daily double where you almost like look off screen, it seems like.

Before I wager, it was at Dan. I was trying to see how much I should do because I genuinely was like, I don't know, it was after I had gotten the... I had this big college football signs where it was like a picture of a cat, the Oregon duck, a phone. I was like 3000, that's right. And then I had another guy in the same color

hat but different color, the same hat with orange gloves called. Dan's under the Conner's Stallions. Yeah, I had done, so I had just done the Holtzauer, which is the all in where I pushed the chips in. That was the first because I knew I needed to do that. Then at that point, when the next daily double hit, I think I was either tied or in the...

It was closer. And I didn't want to wager too much. But I didn't want to wager too much and lose it and be too far behind. Stephen's lead is at risk here, Katie. What will you do? But it's the first clue of the category. So I'm a little nervous. But let's do...

Um... Let's do... 5,000. All right. And I can't remember if I looked at you before I said it or as I was saying it, because you either gave me a thumbs up that it was the right idea, or you might, I mean, did you do this? Did you give me a full Price is Right, 5?

I don't remember. I think I might have been saying 5. But I was like, we had somehow come to the exact same, and you were like, I was just looking for support. Because if he went like this, I would have been like, I mean, all of it. I don't know. I was way on board. I just needed someone to be like, that's good, that's right.

My whole philosophy of the entire time cornering her was grip it and rip it. He did great. He did so great. And this is why Stephen Weber fucking hated Dan Soder's guts. No, he loved Dan Soder. I wanted the silk shirt that boxing corners have where I could call her Katie Daily Double Nolan and come in with like, you know, a towel and a bucket. Yeah, I kept asking to put Vaseline on my face.

Commercial breaks coming and do your eyebrows. Yeah. Just leave a big chunk of it. Yeah. So this brings us to Final Jeopardy. Okay. The category is television history. And I'll just recap the scores here. Dulee Hill.

Thank you for coming. $6,700. Stephen Weber, $27,400. Katie Nolan, $36,400. Everything is up for grabs if your name is not Dule Hill. But the bloodthirst. A final jeopardy went like this. According to the BBC, this 1953 event did more than any other

to make television a mainstream medium. Dule Hill, we come to you first, $6,700, shaking you. his head? Yeah, no. What did you write down? Yeah, no. I don't know. That is correct. Did he come up with the correct response? What is the... End. What is the end?

Is it the end for you? How much did you risk? It's the end for us. Holding his thumb. You bet it all. Tied with Dooley at the moment. Katie Nolan has 36,400. Did you know right then? Yes, because I knew I didn't wager all of it. What was Beatlemania? It's a little early for Beatlemania.

I know. Apparently, the big ratings hit for the BBC in 1953. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth. That's why people bought TVs. So Katie's not correct. If she waged it at all, we have a very interesting situation. No, she didn't. Yeah, the true joy.

The real joy. Jeopardy, finalist. What a game. I mean, watch him be like, give me my thumb back. Give me my, he's like, give it back to me. You know what's? funny is that was the Arthur Smith Saints game Mike catch

you know and they caught what the fuck was that what are you doing that was her going great get you didn't even do the LA hands you went you grab his we can we zoom in on the thumb grab I was I held it up I held it up and he was like I'm done with this the alpha Katie Nolan

give me your fucking thumb I'm gonna break your thumb you think that was cute shit don't fuck with me, I'm Katie Nolan. He were so great. You speed it up.

Katie Dolan, both Andre the Giant, but also Chun Lee, if you win a fight in Street Fighter. Just like the unbelievable, like, the giggling, like, mirths. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know exactly which celebration you're talking about. That was Katie winning. It was awesome. It was fucking awesome. Just being there, being like, damn, you won.

It was just a cool feeling. I know it's stupid. I know. I know it's celebrity jeopardy. I know. But I watch Jeopardy all the time, and you never are going to get a chance to play, even just like that construct of a game. Never mind with how difficult the questions are.

Being able to like hunting daily doubles was so fun. Where I was just like, oh, I'm like, like you said early, I think about this a lot when you're like, it's like a make a wish situation. I was like, oh, I get to do what the really smart people do. And like, it was so fun. It was so cool. Ken was so great. Yeah, it was awesome. It was really awesome.

awesome. What's the post game like? So the best moment is I'm very glad that they got it on camera that they sent me these pictures and I was like oh, Dan was allowed up on the soundstage. I looked over and you were walking up on the stage and I just ran over to Dan and I jumped on and it was the best and they got a picture of it and then you cry. It was really sweet. It was very cool. It was awesome and you get

in the car and you drive back to your hotel and you're just like I can't tell anybody. The driver was super sweet. The driver she gave her for the day he was with her for the first episode then drove her back to the hotel between the two episodes and he was like, it was like Rocky too.

He like threw down blessings for her. He blessed me when I got out of the car when we first got there. And then she did it on the second one where she was even leaving the car and she's like, hey, you want to throw me down a blessing? He's like, I'm just going to go to you and I want you to win.

And not to say I finally didn't. I want you to win. But this is me waking up from a weed nap. I'm not in the hospital after the birth of her. I just took a deep weed nap and she's like, I'm scared. Is that what you want me to say? Not to say I violated the NDA, but when I came out of the second taping, he went like this.

And I gave him a thumbs up and he was like, yes, he was so happy for me. It was so sweet. What happens next? So next is the final. That's January 23rd. As of right now, we know it's me and Lisa Ann Walters from. I thought it was going to be a different Lisa Ann, and I was like, whoa. When people were saying Lisa Ann at first, I was like, really?

And then I was like, oh, Walters. Okay, got it, got, got it. Yeah, from Avid Elementary. Yeah, very good. Or parent trap, if you're from my generation. Or many other things. She's been working for a very long time. She's a wonderful, sweet woman.

So that's what we know. That's January 23rd, the finals of Celebrity Jeopardy. So you're waiting for a third? Yes, we do not have a third yet. You're waiting for a third person to have acted on a Dick Wolf produced television show. Yeah, pretty much. Stephen Weber, Chicago Med,

as well as wings. Dick Wolf is sitting somewhere in an office like Dr. Claw. Right. Katie Nolan, you foiled my first two soldiers. The third one won't miss. The Mortal Kombat totem pole that leads to iced tea.

Yeah. What is a rape? No, I'm legitimate man. So that was a special beginning to share and tell. I do want to bring in a story, though. Oh, okay. You know, because we talk about stories here.

A story about how to pronounce the word, do we say vase? Do we pronounce vase? Oh, I say, I think I say vase, which I think is split in the difference in both wrong. Are two different things. A vase and a vase are not two different things. Look it up. How? A vase.

I don't know. I've taught that a long time ago. Maybe I'm wrong. But look it up. By who? Vaz feels like a. fancier vase. It's like Target Targé.

It's not... You think a vase is different than a vase? I think a vase is... If you had to guess at the distinction between me too it. I don't remember why.

Dan was so instinctive with the day. It's my favorite. When he has the instinctive confidence and the second you ask a follow-up and you just see his face go, well, isn't it? Right? So Nate Bargettze

used to call him Soder Facts and Katie's learning that they're bountiful. One time, one time Nate and I were drinking beers, and he goes, when did Red Fox die? And I go, like, 1984.

And he goes, I mean, is that a soda effect? And I went, yeah, and then he looked it up, and it was completely wrong. It was like in the 90s. But the quickness with it. But I'm pretty sure.

Vase and, I don't know, that might be. There'd be no way to look it up. Are vase and vase two different things is what you have to type? It doesn't even make sense. So you're writing it VAHS?

I don't even know. There is, I like how they're both for people who are listening to the podcast. They're both Googling it. This is not going anywhere. No. There's no way to distinguish. No, but I just want to prove it. What we can do, though.

This is what relationships are, right? Scoring points. You guys are actually mitigating. Who's right here? We need to know. Yeah, I think I was absolutely wrong. I thought one was you could look through it and one you couldn't. I thought like a vase. That feels like a follow-up soda fact.

You mean like transparent and translucent? Translucent? Yeah, but I feel like in the vase and body. world, like in the flower world. In the face in Vaz world. In the world. If you'll follow me there. Come with me to the world of pottery.

I swear to God. I don't know. I'm... I wouldn't swear to any God, just to be safe. Well, how do we even know God's real? We don't. So there you go. I'm agnostic, so I can swear to whatever I want.

Go for it. I'm swearing to a thing that feels bigger. Vaz is the same difference between agnostic and atheist. Like, one does not believe in God actively. The other one just doesn't know. Pablo, thank you. I think that's the perfect analogy for what I'm trying to see. And that is that we're all full of sh**.

But I'm so strong to God that's real. No. But anyway, let him get you as we're not even at the story that we need to talk about. I don't care. I'm fired up. I don't give a rat's ass. Appalachian, Appalachian, who cares? And by the way, I saw you take your time.

I saw you line up the shot on that and then swing through. You know, I learned Appalachian. I was little bit somewhere along the line I thought I learned I was wrong and that it's Appalachian. But then when I said Appalachian, he said Appalachian back to me. I had a moment where I was like, am I going to lose that? on a technicality. It's a real vase-vaz situation.

Two different things, Appalachian, Appalachia. I would like to bring you guys, though, to a real vase or vase situation that happened in Alabama. Yeah. It's definitely a vase. That's a vase. This is a New Year's Eve party

in Mountain Brook, Alabama. And I was on Twitter watching these dispatches come in. Can we throw them on screen, please? Because it started with this, quote, casual Thursday is the user. We have a man stuck in a decorative urn at this Mountain Brook House party. I repeat, we have a drunk man stuck in a large decorative urn

at this Mountain Brook House party. Details as they develop. Great. Details developed. He was laughing at first, but now he's starting to get upset. Yes, of course. The women are trying to comfort him.

Oh. There is talk of attempting to break the urn. Of course, that'd be the first thing I'd think. I have never identified more with a news story as a guy growing up that would do the dumb shit to get a laugh. And then I still do it. I know.

No. I was to say, you mean you're talking to the lady who, spent a New Year's Eve party locked in a dog crate. Yeah. Because she'd get in the dog crate. And I was like, ha ha, so funny. And then they lock you in and then you're like,

okay. I was thought it was really funny. Let me out of the dog crate. I was thought it was really funny to go to parties in high school and if the car was too full, I'd ride in the trunk. And I just thought it was funny

to come out of the trunk at the party. Some of your friends don't have good shocks and you go over stuff and you get real hurt laying in the trunk and then everyone opens the trunk thinking you're coming out like and you're like,

So I've done the thing where you're like, ha ha ha ha. But an urn? Now see, an urn, though? Well, I bet it doesn't look like an urn. Yes, it does. We should see what it looks like. We should. It's an urn.

I'm doing everything I'm fucking dead. That's me. That would be so me. God. Oh, my God. Who is the, um... My sweater off. He's got that Leslie.

Who's your guy? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Leslie. I'm about to bust. This is like... Connor, this is an HR issue, honey. Is it? Is this a work party?

Look at that man, doing nothing. Oh my God, that guy doesn't care. Dude, Chrisley knows best is in some real trouble right here. What if the funniest thing would be? He's still having fun, so this is early days, huh? What if it was just he had to take his sweater off, and that was the one thing? Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'd be so embarrassed.

So I have to shout out. Oh, they didn't show the relief? I wanted to see him stand up. This is the guy who watches videos of people getting their dreads shaved off. He needed that moment. Shout out if you're like me. It's very fun. The pimple popper.

Yeah. Yeah, it's pimple popper. It's the same itch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pimple popper just kind of wigs me out sometimes. They've gotten too much. Can I just say, now there's just. I love pimple popper, but now they're doing those.

It's like a whole sixth. Now they have prizes coming out. And I'm like, is that a decoder ring? Don't. Don't squeeze some mince. They have to like cut a line in it. Yeah, what is this a magician's scarf?

Yeah, it's nasty. Just push it out and go, oh my God. If I were, if I were Dr. Pimple Popper, I'd get good at sleight of hand. And then I'd have one of those matrix trackers where I'd go, you're in the matrix. That was put in me. I want to credit, uh, Poplottori finds out correspondent. Christy Yamaguchi-Mane.

That is the user. Shout out Yamaguchi-Mane. Great name. Found the video on Reddit, posted it, got an anonymous video from that Ifford angle, sent in, and then interviewed this guy, which gave me some background detail on who this gentleman is. Well, I'll tell you right now,

his name is either Cooper or Cameron. Roll Tide. I don't know. Daddy, I don't know. I climbed in the urn and sat Native American style. Now I kick it out. My hips are hurt. My hippies.

My hips hurt, my knees. His name is Connor. Of course. How dare you? His name is Connor. He works for an architectural firm in Birmingham. No. Specializing in high-end residential design.

Well, I don't know about that. That earned. How do you do architecture and don't know the measurements when you climb it at a design brain and you didn't realize that that furniture don't fit in that room? That this earn, which was worth apparently $2,600. Oh, my God. Does he have to pay it? I'm sure his dad's got it.

Yes. For just being honest, I think he got away with something with $2,600. Because in the world of earns, you don't, I don't know the world of earns. Do you two know the world of earns? I don't know. Is it the same as the Vase Voss world or is it a different world? When I am, when my day in court comes, and I am proven wrong by someone out there on the vast space of the internet. The Vost.

The Vost was vast. What is the event that they're at? Do we know? Is it a wedding? This was a New Year's Eve party. Okay. But the point I was trying to make... Sorry, sorry, I make a point.

Was that, um, that, they, that, uh, earned could have been like $50,000. Like, you don't know. You climb in something like that, especially in those weird Alabama cocktail parties. Oh, yeah. Those, the southern eyes wide shut parties where it's all mason jars with lamps and they're all in buttonups under sweaters. No, no way, man. You could have gotten some real trouble there. There might have been some other stuff in there.

Yeah, what? Did he check, you think? So apparently other people had done this before him. Oh, that's even more. embarrassing. Here's a straw that broke the camels back. And so he tried. And in that video, you can sort of hear him plaintively whimper that his boots got stuck the wrong way. Like, he had to tuck his, as a former junior Olympian, maybe you can relate to this. Well, he should shed some light on it. Yeah, his his boots should have been tucked underneath. And instead they

went out. And so he couldn't. They couldn't possibly have gone out. They must have been like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they couldn't possibly have been like that. Well, I think they They ended up at the bottom, allegedly. Oh, once he got in, probably. Yeah, okay, I get it. I think that's where you dropped in there. Yeah, I'm regretting that I wore white socks. I was like, no one will see my outfit today.

And then I'm up here being like, You got your Elvis Presley's on. Yeah, I look like a real cool lady. Anyway, he's definitely stuck like this, which would really hurt your ankles. Yeah, they had to break him out. I mean, that was the end of the video. You hear that sound.

I'm going to show you, I mean, this guy. I'm sure it's on some of those illegal websites. We can torrents. Torrent the rest of it. You have to pay to see the finish. This is what he was wearing. He's holding up a sign like he's a proof of life. It says, I am the real Connor Padgett.

Yes, I was the guy stuck in the vase. Vase Lord, Mother, Mother. Yes, these are the same pants. Yeah, dude. Look at the loafers, no socks. Still white, though. The pants are still off white. They're not dirty at all.

This guy gets amped for the Kentucky Derby. He's very pink. Oh, my God, they just left the top on him. That's very funny. They should have just made him go. around the rest of the night like that. Shame. Like, yeah, we'll get you out to the point you're not in danger,

but you still need to be ashamed. Yeah. So we're going to leave your arms trapped. What in the Nick Sabin? Why can't I get out of this? Help. Oh, help. I'm a danzel in distress.

You would never want that video. You would never want that video of you realizing you can't get out of something. No, absolutely not. Because that moment... But much like the Jeopardy, it was fun to watch him go through all those emotions with nothing in between us

and how he was feeling. I knew exactly how that guy was feeling every second of that video. The feeling of, like, well no, hold on, guys. You're still laughing. Can somebody, I think I'm like stuck. It's the feeling I had when you both looked at me when I said vase and vaws were different. You mean, you're like, I'm stuck.

There is very little way out of this. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. How do I get out? It's recorded. Break it. Somebody break it. Hammer.

Have you ever been stuck? Like inside of, ooh. Because like she's got the dog crate. Right. Right, right, right. I'm trying to think of where I've been stuck before. I know Dan Lebitart has a recurring nightmare where he is stuck inside of like a slide or a tube

upside down. Oh my God, that's terrifying. There's like those videos of, I mean, this is a genre of internet video now where it's like... Well, it's a whole porn. I was gonna say it's also a genre of internet video. What's crazy is people go like,

that guy's stuck. I wanna fuck them. I think, I thought it was girl. I thought it was like that lady's cleaning under the table. It's always like a lady like in a toy house being like there's no way that wouldn't jostler free. Like at this point she's not stuck anymore. She's pretending.

How weak are you fucking her that she's still stuck? Throw some hips into it. My God, man. Connor, throw some hips into it. Yeah, dear, come on. He goes, I tried. And let me tell you, my feeder, we were stuck like Alabama at the 25-yard line against Michigan. Have you ever been stuck?

Have I ever done stuck porn? No, have you ever been stuck? I'm trying to think what, listen, yes, it's just about us finding it. Finding it, yeah, yeah, fair enough. I've absolutely been stuck before. I'm trying to think where. I feel like there's good times I've put a shoe on and then tried to take it off and been like, oh my God, this is going to be on forever. Or like a ring.

You put a ring on and you're like, oh, you can get it on. And all of a sudden you're like, oh, I can't get it off. I did stick a finger and this is not. You got to finish the sentence. Yeah. If you could be great. Well, we wouldn't have thought it if you just finished. Stuck a finger.

If it's a human, it's going to go porn. If your next answer is in any way, a human being. In a corona bottle. Oh, yeah. I can see that. I think I've had a similar thing like that when you're learning to put the lime in. And then you're like, oh, my middle of my fingers Just can keep going

Than the other Right. Yeah. You're stuck. Oh, yeah. I remember breaking it. There is that moment of like immediate sweat. You know, when your body just goes like,

and it's like cold sweat and you're like, oh no. That's what I mean with the embarrassment of what Connor went through. Like you have that moment. It's now an internet thing with that moment where you go like Do you think he's got beef with the guy who originally tweeted it out? Or do you think like down the road there? No, he's like family now. That guy who tweeted out,

the original journalist on this story was the bartender hired at this park. That makes it so much better. I love that. I love it. Someone that didn't want to be there and saw something.

That had been not tipped by that guy all night long, probably. He's like, why would I give it to you? You're just my drink jockey. Excuse me, I'm going to take a dip in this urn. I sell high-end apartment com. What are you a bartender? Balooser. And then you're, thunk.

Got a guy stuck in a vase. Got it. Got it. I got a vase guy. Who reported it? He's just wearing one of those hats that has press in it. Damn, I forgot to take this all.

Son of a bitch. I gave it away. The photos that we don't have are of Connor. Apparently, he was just without pants for the rest of the night. What? Yeah, yeah.

Then how did he have them on in the interview? He was Donald Duckin inside the earned? Do you think he was naked with just the loafers on? So this is a follow-up dispatcher.

from the journalist bartender. Yeah. He wanted a double-makers on the rocks. Okay. After escaping from the urn. And I said, can you reach your wallet? Yeah. I gave it to him.

And now he's drinking alone and having a cigarette, still pantsless in the corner of the yard. Pantsless. I mean, if you're going to be pantsless, a double-makers and a cigarette is a way to work through that. Yeah, you're going through something. It's a lot of these exhales.

I never thought I was going to get out. There was a minute where I thought I was going to start identifying as an urn. Or a vase vase vase. I love those jokes. I love when comedians take pronouns and throw it back in little faces. He's the kind of guy that still gets amp for a pronouns joke. So what did we find out today, guys?

What did we learn? That we've all been Connor and we've all been the bartender. That's so true. And that vase and vase and vase are the same thing. And the exact same thing. I'll die on this hill on this dulae hill. Nice. That's good.

I'll die what is, do I? Yeah, man, that's a wild story. That's something that you back 20 years ago would tell a friend about. Well, that's what I learned today is that there are always videos somewhere, as long as there are like three people at a party. Yeah. As long as anyone has the foresight, they go pull out your phone. I went to a UFC event over 15 years ago,

with my good friend Louis J. Gomez. And we went and we were at, it was Chal Sonen versus John Jones in New Jersey. It's a good one. It was a fun fight. I'd never been to a UFC event. We were up. My friend Shanda, who worked there, got his tickets,

but we were up. And I was like, man, the energy here is violent. Like, oh, we're at a fight. But I've been boxing matches. It was different. It was like, um... Because I say, boxing matches to me,

it's the electricity. of knowing that someone's about to be humiliated. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's also the combative energy of like, it's like kind of similar to football where you go like, we're about to witness organized violence in a way that's satisfying for everybody. But at that specific UFC event,

I felt like, oh, everybody here wants to be in the ring, in the octagon. And so we were watching this like eight-mile looking white dude, right? This is like 2009 or 10. eight-mile-looking white dude starts getting into it with some very Jersey Italians and Lewis who loves UFC

is in a lot of confrontations had the foresight to go pull out your phone there's about to be a fight and I was like no there isn't and we sat there he was a crowd fight minority report he knew it he felt it he was like oh it's got about to happen and we just sat there and within five minutes

it was a full on brawl It was a full-on brawl in four of us. And I was like, it had me, I earned, I got respect for those that film fights for World Star because I'm like, to know that it's coming and to get your phone up. In the angle, you gotta get the right angle.

And the right angle. And Lewis just knew it. And that's what I was saying is like having that foresight is crazy to know when that's gonna happen. Yes. And so that, if someone has that and you do something stupid, you're f***.

I also relished these videos now because I feel like we're entering into an age. where there's a lot of staged things like this that go viral and you feel like does nobody else notice that this is staged or people are getting so caught up in the conversation. The airplane sets. Yeah, where you can tell because there's like...

And there's a school one too where somebody's getting kicked out of a school and it's the same classroom and you're like, this isn't a... No classroom looks like this. It was like saved by the bell where they would have the same room for different classes where you go, what do you mean your math classes

where the shop is? Yeah. It's right across the hall from building's office. And so you're getting so many of those now that when you get one of these, you're like, oh, I cherish this. Because this is clearly real and it's not just about the conversation because a lot of times people just get so into the like,

I would never do that. Or that's the woke left. That's the future. They all just start fighting and nobody goes, the video's fake. Did anybody notice that the video is fake? This is just like, no, a true natural thing that really did happen and we can all just go,

they've been stuck in something? And now people will even go like, you'll say like, that video's fake and they're like, I don't care. It brings up the point of it. It's a good conversation we should be having. Disregarding that that was, because the plane stuff, you're right, school, it's always the same.

In the plane, there's like lights that are on the plane. I've never seen, what is this, a 16-year-old's room trying to get piqued? This is a, that's not a Delta flight. It's got different color lights on, like he's the cool kid in high school. Well, now that's just everybody. I know, but remember in high school, you would go, I mean, shout out my friend Adam. You'd go to his house and you'd be like,

did you ever get it? Dark purple lights. He was the one that got women out of our friends. Is this why? Good for him. I just have a very bright light and 49ers posters on my wall. Is this why I'm so high and dry? Katie and Dan.

Pablo and Dan. Katie and Pablo. Face vaws. My vase and my vaws. I cannot wait for the championship. January 23rd. Happy birthday, Kevin. Happy birthday, My birthday, Myrtle.

Wow. Happy birthday. To my brother and Myrtle. Everybody in Katie's life. And then Katie shall ascend to the top. Tune in. It's nuts. Thanks for letting me talk about it.

Stephen Weber, go fuck yourself. Hey, but I think now that it's over. He was nice afterwards. He messaged me last night, a good go get him kid or something like that. And I wanted to be like, you know how this ends. You know exactly how this ends.

Yeah, you know who wins. What do you only say? You know the M that gets got. Yeah. You know that you are M. But we've forgiven, you know. Yeah, every, it's all, it's look, I leave it on the field. Oh yeah, this is the post-game press conference now.

I leave it all in the field. It was, we talked good trash, he played a great game. I was angry at his thumb, but I respect it. But now that we're off the field, that's my competitor. That's, we are one and the same. Sure. One of us is a little younger, but other than that, we're basically the same. So I respect him.

Normal way to grab a thumb. Yeah, everybody does that. Everybody does that. When you win a thumb war, you go like this. You should have capped it. This is the winning thumb. You should have gone. Lights out, buddy boy, and then break it.

Oh. Oh. Shout out, Lowell. Lowell. Lowell. And one more shout out to the people who produce Pablo Torre finds out. Michael Antonucci, Ryan Cortez, Sam Daywig, Juan Galindo, Patrick Kim, Neely Lohman, Rachel Miller-Howard, Ethan Schreier, Carl Scott,
