Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Pablo Torre finds out. I am Pablo Torre, and today we're going to find out what this sound is. I think the crust serves a purpose. It's like, why don't they make skinless people? Yeah. Wow. I just got my mind blown on that one. Right after this ad. You're listening to Draft King's Network. What's the gummy bears for? Why is one of them rogue? You'll see. The rogue bear. Should I take my teeth out now? Are we going to be doing eating?
Starting point is 00:00:41 The fans at home would want to see the... See me go... Take the Invisaline out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Suck it up. See the guts that are all over the Envisaline? 23 out of 26. I got three more.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Okay. Three more to go. I don't know what that means. And then you're a full werewolf. I do 26 trays. So every 10 days I swap for a new tray, getting closer to my goal, and there's 26 total trays. Can I stop?
Starting point is 00:01:03 Can I stop you right there? What happens to the old trays? I throw them right out. That's a waste. The first time I tried this, We could be selling that. Nah. I think if I was currently peaking, probably.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I don't think at my current state I'm in the cell-used-invisaline market. How do we end up here, Pablo? What's, like, what's wrong with you, dude? So at this point, you might expect me to use that question from our friend Michael Cruz-Kane to conveniently segue into some broader description of everything that's wrong with post-election America, which we kind of did last episode. But the reason that I am not doing that here is because the entire point of today's episode, in fact, is to not do that. And to ensure that we didn't do that with this edition of Share and Tell, we taped very strategically.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Two days before Election Day happened. That's right. We made a time capsule of sorts. A silo, you might call it. but not the kind of, you know, cultural silo that we usually talk about here. More the kind where Katie Nolan, it turns out, recently purchased her new wardrobe. I bought this in the Catskills on vacation this last week.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Short sleeve, but long. Oh, armholes. You thought I just had a blanket on? A shawl. I thought you were just wearing your holes. Now I'm wondering if people on the train thought I just had a blanket wrapped around me. This is a full sweater. It was sold to be worn, not even like a slinket.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Sold to be worn. It was made to be clothing. And I bought it at the world's largest kaleidoscope in the Catskills. We're going to immediately start Googling this world's largest. I don't want to slander it because it's like a nice little operation that they got in a silo on the side of the road. Emerson Collidescope. I didn't read any of the stuff that the lady was like, you can read right here, the next showings in five minutes. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I think it's like mirrors that go up into the tube of the silo. you are at the bottom, and they built this little contraption where you, like, lean and you just look up into it. And they just show basically the, like, Windows music player screensaver at the top of the, and the mirrors reflect it back to you. While it's doing that, there's a woman with a British accent who's like, come along on a trip to space where we learn where humanity was born. No offense, and I hope anybody that works there or was involved in its creation,
Starting point is 00:03:41 tunes out here. But the quality of the screen could have been better. Yeah, I'm getting Amish sphere vibes. When did they sell you this sweater? Oh, afterwards, there were like little shops all around. So Dan and I were like, we came all this way and that kind of blew. So let's take a look at the clothes. But it was nice to go shopping and go, oh, I can only choose from these five sweaters.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And I like this one. And then I bought it. Instead of going, I want a sweater. Let me Google sweater. Let me find any sweater ever sold. Let me see a picture of every single sweater. Let me decide how much I think I should pay for a sweater. I just was like, this is the price, this is the sweater, buy it.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I also bought these pants. They're made of gauze. You are wearing an all-world's largest kaleidoscope outfit. The shirts from Amazon. The pants do look incredibly comfortable. They're great. Sometimes I don't hate God's pants. I guess I don't know any songs.
Starting point is 00:04:36 What if gauze was one of... On my pants. Okay. Very good. We're doing something that we have not done, which is a musical episode. And I think that's fun. La la la la, la, maybe up here. We're up here now.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And I'm also down here. I'll be down here. No, you won't. People are throwing their phones in the trash. I didn't know he had that in him. Me neither. Wow. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:05:19 We're doing an episode that is completely insulated from what the real world must be like today. Not that we would know. No. November 12th, 2024. If there even is a world. This might be our last transmission.
Starting point is 00:05:34 We wanted to give people a reprieve explicitly from what everybody else must have been talking about for the last week or so. Sure. Which is, again, the world's largest kaleidoscope.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Imagine it all just goes off without a hitch, and everybody goes, well, that's that, do, do, do, do, and everything just goes in the warm. Let's check out this big kaleidoscope. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I asked you guys for your answer to a question, and I presume that But the mood, let's make some just general emotional guesses. Right now, I'm assuming that people are... Screaming. Yeah. Screaming.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah. Trapped in a well. The vibes are fraught. Fives are off. I'm crying probably. Wherever I am, I'm probably crying. Yeah. I think I'm trying to sleep.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Wherever it is, I'm just trying to be. Could I be asleep now? Instead of whatever's happening, maybe I could be asleep. Yeah. I'm definitely scratching. It's dry. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Real dry. Yes. Okay. You get the nervous itchies. You get a little itchy when you get nervous? So much so that I will look down and be like, when did that claw me? Oh, no. It was you.
Starting point is 00:06:39 It was me. All along it was you. Yeah. A real Tucker Carlson recognizing a demon situation. Wow. I asked you guys, what videos do you watch to make yourselves feel better? And I feel like this is a service to our audience and also to ourselves, honestly. And Katie provided an answer that was unexpected.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Yeah. A great answer. That's why it works. I have become emotionally attached to a video of Bjork from the 80s, late 80s, I believe, taking apart a television and describing the parts inside of it. And there's just something about Bjork, that she's just got this wonderful creativity. That obviously comes across in her music, if you're a fan, which I am. but she's also just like a, she's like a child.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Hello, it is Christmas time, and I'm sitting here by my TV. Can I just tell you that Ryan Cortez, producer, behind the glass, just got my ear and earnestly asked. No, no, no, no. Bjork is a woman? Hmm. It's almost a fair question because I do feel like Bjork is something. She would take that as a compliment, I feel. She's almost like an element or something.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I've been watching it very much lately because I'm on a hospital. holiday and I've been seeing all those programs about all sorts of things about Icelandics being very happy about Christmas very gay and also very serious and spiritual and also seeing Icelandic comic people making jokes which they are very good at but now I'm curious I've I've switched the TV off and now I want to see how it operates how it can put me into all those weird situations.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Oh, boy. So she had just been like leaning cheek to monitor. Yeah. And she's rotating this television around. Yeah, it's real thick. It's a real thick. Oh, yeah. TV back before they made them, you know, flat.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And then they made them curved. Whoops. Are we still doing that? Her hair almost looks like she tried this without unplugging it first. Sure does. This is what it looks like. Look at this. This looks like a city, like a little model of a city.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And all the houses which are here and streets. This is maybe an elevator to go up up there. So she's like tracing her finger over the circuit boards. These fires, they really take care of all the electrons when they come through here. They take care of that they are powerful enough to get all the way. through here. I read that in a Danish book this morning. This morning. I read that in a Danish book this morning. And this beautiful television has put me, like I said before, in all sorts of situations.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I remember being very scared to it because an Icelandic poet told me that not like in cinemas, where the thing that throws the picture from it, just sends lights on the screen, on the screen, but this is different. This is millions and millions of little screens who sent light on you, some sort of electrical light. York seems to have simultaneously tremendous knowledge and zero knowledge of this television at the same time.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yes. She's very bright and she also has like a complete childlike wonder. Whimsy. I really wanted to point out that she talks about the individual little screens and then she describes them as who. You know what I mean? Individual little screens who do whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:30 She's anthropomorphizing. Yes. Yes. Anthropomorphizing, I think. Anthropos, am I adding another? Promorphicizing or promorpemorphizing? Yours feels right. Panorpha biorca borking.
Starting point is 00:10:42 That hurts. Mine feels right. Anthrobiorka morph. We're going to, we're going to, we're going to fact check that. She just drops a bar at the end. We do have to get to just the last part. It's a bar. Katie will never rest unless we see this next part.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It's my favorite video on Earth. But then later on, when I got my Danish book on television, I stopped being afraid because I read the truth. And that's the scientific truth, which is much better. You shouldn't let poets lie to you. You shouldn't let poets lie to you. We'll point out that scientific was a little bit of an anthropomorphizing. Oh, so it was wrong. So you looked it up and it was one?
Starting point is 00:11:19 The jury's still out. Okay. Hard to know. Boats are still coming in. It's just like such a different time. When you didn't understand something, you would take it apart and read a Danish book about it that morning and then consider it like a city. And like her understanding of it, not to get too deep about the silly video that I watched, make me feel better. I do want to know why it speaks to you in a real way.
Starting point is 00:11:40 It's the way she, her understanding of it is enough for her. She makes it make sense to her. And then she's like, I can explain it to you how it makes sense to me. And she's not worried about making sure everybody understands it. And she's not worried about being actually fully correct. but she's like just coming from a sweet place of curiosity in a way that I don't think, I mean, now you just Google if the word you said was wrong, you know? It's like ancient.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like the wise woman from the village came out and saw a TV and she's going to tell the rest of the village how it works. Like it does look like a city. They look like little buildings. She's absolutely correct. The last line that she had?
Starting point is 00:12:16 You shouldn't let poets lie to you? Man. Yeah. That's just... You shouldn't. That's just wisdom. I know. Very true.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I always feel like there's something a little immodest whenever I see like a piece of technology uncovered. I'm like, oh, put that back on. Put your pants on. Undercarriage. We're not supposed to see this. We're not supposed to see this. I'm like, this should not be out here. This is gross.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Oh, I'm with my family. Yeah, exactly. This is a road that everyone can drive on. Put a trailer on. This is becoming deeply revealing about Michael Drew's game. I am really anthropomorphicacy. surmising the stuff. This is the video that I
Starting point is 00:12:58 watched to make myself feel better. Okay. Back to your life at the Waterfront Village with my friend, the zombie, Jonathan, you're looking good. Jonathan just got an awesome face paint job.
Starting point is 00:13:08 What do you think? I like turtles. All right. You're great zombie. Good times here. Oh, God. It doesn't make me feel good because you can hear the spit in her mouth
Starting point is 00:13:18 when she's like, I don't know what to do with that. It's not what I... And I am back to you. It's so stressful. So far, the common thread in what Katie and I both enjoy is that there is an analog, pre-modern aspect to these things. Obviously, local news is a fertile territory.
Starting point is 00:13:37 There's an innocence to a reporter being like, yep. Kid said that. That's a hard one to segue from. Back to you, Doug. It's the sort of video also where my wife and I will just tell each other, taunt each other with, I like turtles. Whenever the other person just says something completely just obvious and stupid. It feels like the early version of the corn kid.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I can't imagine a more beautiful thing. It's cold. Isn't the grape smashing thing also a local news thing? I think so. It's a lot of fun, a whole day. Stop. It had a sense of this was not faked in the way that every TikTok video to me feels. It's kind of like how if someone has a blue check.
Starting point is 00:14:34 checkmark on Twitter now. I don't trust. Like, the only authentic viral tweet to me is the person who cannot monetize it. Yeah. Yeah. I want to be clear, I was given mine back. I didn't ask for it. He gave it back to me. So I didn't turn it down. That's right. Can't be trusted. But I don't pay for it. Using all that Twitter money to buy kaleidoscope sweaters. Yeah, well, not can buy themselves. Michael. My video's not like that. Is that what you're about to show? The video that I said? Yeah. Of course, we are. Why wouldn't we? Old men forget. What?
Starting point is 00:15:07 It all shall be forgot, but he'll remember with advantages. What feats he did that day? Then shall our names, familiar in their mouths as household words, Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warrick and Tallbert, Salisbury and Gloucester, be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son. And Crispin, Crispian... Christian Bell.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh my God. Little newsy. Pre-Santa Fe, Bale. But we in it shall be remembered. We few. We few. We happy few. Oh, are you crying right now?
Starting point is 00:15:50 You're crying right now. We banned the brothers. Okay. You shall be my brother. Yeah. Be he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in England, now a bed, shall think themselves a curse they were not here. And hold their men.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Manhood's cheap, while Denny speaks that thought with us upon St. Presbyn's Day. Yeah, it's Christian Bail. It's like Independence Day, but old. Yes, but very old. What's that from? Henry Five. Of course, yes, Henry Five. Shakespeare's right. It's Kenneth Branagh. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Yes. The Empire Strikes Back of Henry's.
Starting point is 00:16:35 If you will. I don't know what to tell you except that I love that friggin' I love that clip. It really, it gets both the part. part of me that it like from the beginning of time masculinity of which I have extremely little and then also the pretentious part of me that's like well I do love the bard you know what I mean it hits it's both of those yeah it's like how again remember ed yes yeah remember red we're just did not stick around something that sounds so wrong and yet because it said in the accent of shakespeare we go well that's correct so very right must be must be right a little anthropomorphizing you might If you will.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Sure. I won't, but somebody will. I used to teach SAT, well, test prep in general for a living, jealous, and frequently would show that clip to kids, like the week before the SAT. And frequently, they'd be like, I don't know what this is. This doesn't resonate with me. This isn't helping me at all. This is making it harder.
Starting point is 00:17:28 St. Crispin's Day. Yeah. What is that? I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is or who that is. Not the first clue. Oh, great. Because it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:17:36 It's really kind of tertiary to the point. St. Crispin, maybe like the saint, the patron saint of fried chicken or something? Of cereal. Ooh, good. Like Crispics. Crispin addicts. He's addicted to the Crispin. The feast day of Christian saints, Crispin and Crispinian.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Crispinian. Crispinian. Those are two different people? They are twins who are martyred at circa 286. Felt like the doctor was like you got to name them both right now. Crispin and Chris. And the other one. What's the other one?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Crispinous. Crispinous. Great. I'm writing it down. That's his name now. Golly. Both the patron saints of cobblers, leather workers, tanners, sadlers, and glove lace and shoemakers. Another genre of comfort video, it turns out, is cobbling.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Is that cobbling when you do it to a horse? I didn't think so. The sort of video where you're like, oh, this must hurt, but it doesn't. Or no, yeah, I think it must feel good. ever since pimple popping videos got too much since they became like removing cysts. I'm like, that's not what I signed up for. I just wanted to watch somebody
Starting point is 00:18:49 like gently pop a butt, like get a bunch of shit out. That's now what I go to the horse videos for. Let me see some horse foot. I don't want to see maybe blood. I don't want to see, I want to get gory. I just want you to relieve this horse of his gook. Yeah. The thing, the thing, the, gunk is get it out.
Starting point is 00:19:06 The thing about those horses shoe replacement videos, Yeah. Is that there's always more gunk than you think. Yes. Oh, yeah. You think it's over and then they get to scoop in. The gunk goes deep. Should we talk about uncrustibles?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Huh? I brought a video that does make me feel good. Okay. Wait, so. This is another video? Are you introducing another video? Are we going back to the video? No, I think he brought two? We're moving forward. Oh, I brought another video.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Hell yeah. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Meet Lethal Shooter. Oh? shooting gummy beers, decided for a water bottle. They must have thought I wasn't gonna see this. They must have thought I won't gonna see this, Nate.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Today, I'm gonna be making gummies through a water bottle. Buckets. Y'all didn't push me to this. What? You didn't push me to this. Okay, I understand it now. I understand it now. I'm not playing with y'all.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I'm not playing with y'all. Stay locked in. Show them that it's real. These ain't no edits. These ain't no edits. These real gummies. Look at the size of those. Look at the size of those.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah, regulation. A question first. Yeah. Why is he out of breath? So this may be a tip as to how long lethal shooter had been lethally shooting gummy bears into water bottles. Sure. You've got to imagine, right? Because that man's tired.
Starting point is 00:20:51 And he shot it three times. He was shooting for a while. I wanted to see the gummy bear versus the aperture of the water bottle. Just to get a sense of what we're talking about. You wanted to be shown. Now look, this is how hard this is going to be. Well, actually, why don't we? Holy.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Is this why the gun, this is why the gun bears are here? I mean. I understand. Is it not? There's a water bottle. They are here. Are all water bottles regulation? Like, are they all the same?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Really good question. The answer is no. The openings to them are. The answer is, I may have chosen the, which one is this? A Fiji. Okay. Because it is. Now, I have to apply pressure to that to go in.
Starting point is 00:21:27 It has. Unless I go, you're right, of course. Why, of course. Are you guys familiar with that man? Nope. It's 14 hours a day of screen time. Never once. What's happening there?
Starting point is 00:21:38 Who do I talk to? This is why I am excited to talk to you about him. So his name is Chris Matthews. A thrill goes up my leg when I watch his videos. That is a borderline political joke that should not have been allowed, frankly, on this episode. But Chris Matthews, former Washington State St. Bonaventure sharpshooter had many records at St. Boat Venture. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:00 One of the proudest alums of that school. And he is somebody who now works for Red Bull as a shooting coach and really influencer. Red Bull's teaching people how to shoot? That's right. Explain that part. How do I get to learn to shoot? These are great questions. I think all of them can be answered by this video.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Everybody always making excuses. What is that? How do you get down? So he has a crown of. spikes. Thorns. Of thorns, yeah. Kind of thorns.
Starting point is 00:22:33 It is a religious illusion. That's my favorite part, by the way, where he says I understand it now. Yeah, because it's fun. It's interesting. Because once he understands how to defeat the thing, he doesn't miss it. He has figured out how to lethally shoot. It's crazy. I understand it now.
Starting point is 00:22:50 He does. Is he wrong? So this goes on for a while. I wish he actually would say, I misunderstood it there. I misunderstood. I thought I understood it. I, in fact, do not. not understand. I love the Crown of Corn. So does that answer your question? No, of course not.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I don't think it does in any way. Didn't even think it tried to. This video. I bet not. Oh my God. I ain't playing with y'all. Get your hands off. I told y'all. He's so sweaty. He's shooting a basketball that's on fire. Is his hand on fire? Yeah. He's out here. I'm just heating up. He's, oh my God, he's covered in Vaseline, which I understand. It's a tough visual, though. Why am I being blamed? I didn't make you do this.
Starting point is 00:23:36 For those just listening. I'm here with trained professionals. Stay locked in, guys. Don't ever do this. Don't ever do this, but watch this. Check this out. It's NBA Jam. Yes, he's on fire.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Yeah, he's on fire. Absolutely. So Red Bull does this thing now where I think they just sponsor viral videos. And now they sponsor things like jumping out of like sub-substableness. stratospheric things. Yes. Of course, going up to half space. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And after conquering... Edging space. Okay, here we go, Felix. After edging space, they said, let's give lethal shooters some money. I'm actually for it. It may seem, from my tone, I'm against, but I'm pro.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I just want it to better understand the business. And now he teaches whom? That's a good question. Players have hired him. Oh, cool. Clientele that is included. Dwight Howard. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Anthony Davis. Candice Parker, Skyler Digginsmith, all people that I have not... Why is he saying girls fast? Why is he saying girls fast? Yeah. Let's sing through their women's names. I call them women, by the way, myself. You did. My fault. The females.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Yeah, better, worse. Have you noticed people are so afraid of saying females now that they won't even say, like, female athlete. They'll say woman athlete. You're like, well, that's wrong. It's female. You can say it as a descriptor. Just don't call them females.
Starting point is 00:25:07 But that's too complicated. What were you saying? I was having a side thing. She athletes? Great. Athschlitz? Great. This could be good.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Love this. This could catch on. Understand that fully and never need to. Are we going to start shooting? Do we shoot? Did you mean to quote lethal shooter when you said that? I understand now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I do. And so this is where I do need to jump in here to just make sure that our audio audience out there, and God help you, by the way, if you're not watching today's episode on YouTube or the Jeffings Network, understands what's about to happen here. So imagine Katie and Mike's. Michael and I, all deciding to stand up, each of us armed with somewhere between three and three zillion gummy bears, and then focus on a water bottle sitting on a table that is more or less drowning already in mess. I guarantee I make it. I guarantee 100%. So the water bottle's in the middle of the table.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Kind of. We have our herobo gummy bears. I mean, if you want to be wasteful. I punched it. It's a lucky world of Harry boat. I just step to the side like he does before I shoot. Whoa! That was actually very close. That was impressive.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I feel almost too close to the table. Yeah, yeah. Elbow. Everybody, everybody. Katie is just... Again, very close. Guys, I'm lethal. Edging.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Edging. How many do you need to take your first shot? I'm going to my crotch. Ready? Here we go. Guaranteed make. Kobe. Three at once.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Kobe never did that. I think mine. Kobe never did that. I think I might have said the wrong name. Oh, that was a bad time. I got worse as it went on. You guys are going to have to clean all this up. Is there a person who has to come in here and clean this up?
Starting point is 00:26:52 Yep. Is it Pablo? Nope. It's about the loft. This is it. That's the one. This is the one. Katie, this is the one.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Swish! The angle was right. Son of a. This is. I'm not going to leave till one goes in. Can like triple speed through this or something? Michael, did you bring us something beyond what we've done here today so far? I did.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I brought the Detroit Pistons. Yeah. Came to play a basketball game at the Barclays Center. As they do. As they do on Sunday. And because of the Marathon, the New York City Marathon, well, now, not this past Sunday, but the Sunday before that, the New York City Marathon made it very difficult for them to drive to the Barclays.
Starting point is 00:27:38 The Barclays, the Barclays, the Bar. And so they had to take the subway. And I just think that's beautiful. I think it's beautiful. They won the game. That's not what they do. That's not what they do. They came and they won, and they played great.
Starting point is 00:27:52 They had a lot of assists, an unusually high number of assists during the game, which makes me feel like, you know, the togetherness of the subway really affected them. And I did read the comments, and it's a lot of people from all over the country being like, oh, that's not safe. Shut up. Shut up. It's so weird. It is so weird.
Starting point is 00:28:08 We're a safe haven from this stuff. But it is so weird to hear people explain like, oh, man, you're in New York City. Is it scary? I'm like, no. Yeah, it's not at all. I want the Detroit. I'm going to keep saying it like Detroit. Is that okay?
Starting point is 00:28:21 No, but it's, we're deep enough now. I want the Detroit Pistons on the subway. I want them there every day. I want them there with a kid who's raising money for his basketball team. I want them with the Showtime guys. I think that should be a feature of New York. You can always go on the train and see. Oh, look, it's the Detroit Pistons.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And here they are. We must be on the three. Or as was the case, some years before that, oh, look, it's LeBron James. That's right. On our way back from shoot around. decided to take a different transportation this time. What we had, Kyle?
Starting point is 00:28:53 We were on the train. We had a 25-minute bus ride. 45-minute bus ride. Or a six-minute train ride. So we decided to hop on the train with the squad. Hey, Channing, what's up? What's good? What's squishing?
Starting point is 00:29:08 What's squishy? I don't know this deal right. He's tripping. I love it. I absolutely like. It seems like that guy really did not know who LeBron James was. And he did not want to be. Excuse me, do not film me.
Starting point is 00:29:18 That video of the Pistons, of LeBron James, Detroit Pistons. The Detroit Pistons. It is one of the things about New York that I love, which is that people genuinely don't give a shit. Yeah. At all. It's one of the great parts about living in New York City.
Starting point is 00:29:37 That's to the point, at least for me, where even if you see someone, you sort of feel like as a New Yorker, it's your job to pretend that you don't give a shit. So why do you think that is in New York? What do you think the ethos of New York is? Because I have a theory that it is fundamentally about how everybody in New York is too busy for everything else. I think it's that.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I think it's like, we got shit to do. We can't be like, oh, you know, there's Sam Rockwell at the hot dog cart. I don't have time for that. You know what I mean? With a healthy dash of self-involvement. Sure. It's a little bit of like, I'm the big deal on this train. Yeah, I think it's maybe a worse version of yours is you're not better than me.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah. You're not. You're on the subway. You're on the subway just like me, bro. Yeah. Oh, you make $10 million a year? Well, guess what? There's a guy on this train that both of us are in who's masturbating, and we're the same. To him, we're the same.
Starting point is 00:30:41 What did you bring today? The uncrustable's story. Do we have uncrustables here right now to do this? Boys? Oh, my God, no. I always wanted to say boys and for crustables to come out. Garsohn? Oh, look at the presentation.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Wow. Yeah, passion. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's a gummy bear Zamboni. I'm lightheaded, by the way, from whatever it is we've been doing here. We now have a plate of uncrustables. I don't think I knew what these are. It's like a sandwich situation?
Starting point is 00:31:12 Wow, you have a child. I thought this was a big kid thing. We cook in our house. Wow, okay, elitist. Our kids eat freshly cooked to goldfish crackers and cheeses. Nice. Can you explain the uncrustable? Because I don't know if everybody, Michael Cruz King.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Yeah, sure. knows what this is. It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that has the crust taken off, almost as if you had a circular, like, cookie cutter and you put that around and just basically took out the circular center of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Starting point is 00:31:39 and sealed the edges, almost like a dumpling, and then they freeze them. And then you take them out of the freezer, you let them defrost, and then you bite into them, and it's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The New York Times slash Athletic did a story about how many uncrustables the NFL is eating they got reports from 24 of 32 teams.
Starting point is 00:32:01 So eight teams, right? That's the math on that. Eight teams did not share their uncrustable data. That's right. One of which being the Patriots. Interesting. Something to hide. I have no idea how many uncrustibles that the Patriots are eating.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It says, based on the information collected, it's safe to say that NFL teams go through anywhere from 3,600 to 4,300 uncrustables a week. Holy. When you factor in training camps and the teams that did not share their data, the NFL as a whole, easily goes through at least 80,000 uncrustibles a year. Denver has the highest reported consumption here. Weekly uncrustable consumption across the NFL, 700. It is staggering. I mean, they're ahead by a lot,
Starting point is 00:32:41 because the next closest is 320. The Denver Broncos are eating 700 uncrustables a week. Yeah. Yeah. Why is this one in here? Great question. I believe that one was heated up. Toasted?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Okay, so Nadir, also behind the glass. Shout out. He loves uncrustables. Okay. Like, sincerely, and he toasted this. Yeah, that people say, do you toast it straight out of the freezer or do you defrost and then toast? Straight out. He said straight out. Straight out of that freezer.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So I am, here's what I... I'm going to take a bed out of this. You should. I think you should. And prime as well if you could. Wow, you're making it seem awful. I'll tell you what? It's delectable.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah. They really nailed it. I'm going to toasting. My turn. Yeah. Oh, it's an ASMR situation. Damn. The toasting really elevates it.
Starting point is 00:33:35 My compliments to the chef. I mean, I love these. It smells like lunchtime. I love these. Here's my thing. Can I, I, um, for the average person, the only time this makes sense to me as an invention is with, like, an NFL team. It's a bunch of people who need thousands of something made.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You don't want to have to make a bunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But for the average, Joe, no, I don't want them because why? Take it. You don't. I'm the kind of person that will even like... Take it. I don't like buying pre-made sandwiches that have been sitting somewhere made as a sandwich
Starting point is 00:34:09 with condensation on the... Because I'm like, bread should not be hanging out with the stuff. My mom used to make me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that by the time I got to them at lunch, the jelly was soaked through the bread and I was like this, I don't want to eat this. It tastes like a plastic bag. Well, hold out, I'll just stop you there.
Starting point is 00:34:26 The innovation of the encrustable. Oh, my God, it's disgusting to listen to you, talk with that now. Is that the jelly with that note? The jelly is inside of two layers of peanut butter, and that prevents the spillage. My mom also figured that out eventually. What I don't understand is why you need it. This is something that was not cost prohibitive,
Starting point is 00:34:44 making a peanut butter and jelly. Whenever I was at my hardest times, that would be most of my... I'd just get a thing of bread, get the peanut butter, get the jelly, and then you had the stuff you needed. You would watch Bjork disassemble a television. Right, while building my own...
Starting point is 00:34:57 Little shitty. But why would you need it to have this... Because you're a... smart gal on the go. You got stuff to do. You don't got time to... Make a sandwich? That's right. Exactly right. What does a she athlete need more than to get out of the kitchen? Wow. I mean now... An uncrusta her. No, I don't know if I got that one. Stay with it.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Son. Okay, so now it's daughter crustable. Yep, that's it. I made it a sun crustable. Aunt, instead of an uncrustable? There we go. It's an aunt crustable. There you go. I hate crust. Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Cut the crust off. But I feel like... Wish granted. Why don't they sell crustless bread? Because I think unless you freeze it, I think the crust serves a purpose. It's like, why don't they make skinless people? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Wow. I just got my mind blown on that one. Holy shit. Because all this time I've been like, I wish I didn't have skin. But now I get it. I think we could be skinless if we had layers of peanut butter containing our jelly. Also, let me say this, I like a crust.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm a crust fan. Me too, because I'm an adult. Why? It's harder to put a crust back on. You know what I mean? You can cut the crust off. Right. But if you were served like an uncrustable, if I wanted to put a crust on this, I'm f***ed.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Yeah. Well, you could actually, I would argue you toasted it, which put a crust back on. Holy shit. That's why you liked the toasted one. It's all been solved. Yeah. Everything's been solved. A crustable.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Crustible. Yeah, also uncrustable, I don't fully, the logic of the name of I think too much about it doesn't really work for me. So funny you mentioned that. In this piece, they explained that the name was derived from like this 11-year-old kid who they like asked what should we name this. Idiot. Yeah. Did get a penny for it, I'm sure. Kid was definitely not taking SAT prep.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Hold on, just fact-checking. It's finding out. And the initial iteration, the incredible uncrustable. Okay. Got short into Uncrustable after the brand was acquired in 1999. Got it. So I remember it. Acquired by Smuckers.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Those fickers. That's every time I hear smuckers, I'm like, that sounds, that's bad. It was their worst slogan. They tried it for a little while. Smuckers, we're f***ers. I keep rubbing my knee with you. It's such an uncomfortable place to touch another person. Maybe it's because I'm man spreading.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Yes. Thank God for the skin. Thank God for the skin. And pants. So true. And pants. Yeah. Gau's pants.
Starting point is 00:37:32 We brought all the things back. Everything has been so called back that we've, it's a Oroboros. Is that something? What is that? A snake that eats its own tail. There you go. I wish I could capture the look of disdain that I see when I look through there as they're like, oh, so they're doing the shooting of the gummy bears again.
Starting point is 00:37:49 It all comes back. What did you guys find out today on a show about finding stuff out? That Red Bull hires people. pays money to people who will teach other people, Dwight Howard, to female athletes that you said very quickly. Candace Parker, Skyler Diggins-Smith. Oh my God, ally.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I pay attention to women. Yep. teaches them how to shoot. I didn't know if Red Bull specifically does that. What? Misinformation was spread? He certainly is employed by Red Bull. I don't know if they want to claim his training of them.
Starting point is 00:38:35 He's just hired. I've been informed for legal reasons. So he's just on the payroll. So I found out nothing. He's on the payroll for Red Bull. Yes. On like a retainer? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:38:50 What's funny is we've been recording this episode, I think, am I right, when I say 17 hours? Yeah. And it's going to be cut down to nine minutes. And the nine minutes is just going to be us tossing gummy bears futile at that. Sped up. Set to a Bjork soundtrack. Yes. Ooh, I would like that.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Or to the St. Crispin's Day speech. What did you find out today? Thank you. You're welcome. Finally, I found out that the world's largest kaleidoscope is fine. Yeah. It's fine. And that's good enough for me.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I'll go in there and see the things kind of like, ooh, look, that hexagon kind of spun around into a different hexagon. There were a couple moments. We went, ooh. And for how much was it? Five bucks. Each. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:30 At five bucks, that's pretty good. Also, it claims to be the largest, not the greatest. So. That's right. It was the biggest kaleider scope I've ever seen. They don't say world's best kaleidoscope. That's right. I found out.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Yeah, what about you, Pablo? What did you find out? I found out that I still like that kid who likes turtles. Mm-hmm. That's correct. I forgot one more thing. What's that. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:39:57 What I found out today. Oh, God. It's going to go. It's worth it. It is worth it for this. I understand it now. Oh! I really believed you.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Producers are saying in my ear that it's not possible to record anymore. that there's no technology that allows them to record more than they've already recorded. This has been Pablo Torre finds out, a Metal Arc Media production. And I'll talk to you next time.
