1. Episode Overview

Pablo Torre invites Dan Le Batard, Gojo (Mike Golic Jr.), and Katie Nolan to recount every awkward, chaotic, and improbable moment from his team’s “Celebrity Family Feud” appearance. With trademark PTFO self-deprecation and good-natured group ribbing, the episode provides a hilarious postmortem on game show stress, buzzer fumbles, production quirks, and the meaning of true victory.

2. Key Discussion Points & Insights

Team Formation, Nerves, and Game Show Surrealism

• Pablo watched his own episode alone at home, overwhelmed and forgetful about events:

  “I watched it by myself in my living room on the floor and was overwhelmed with everything that happened that I did not remember.” (00:33)

• The guests explain how Pablo’s “Family Feud” taping felt nothing like ordinary TV, especially meeting Steve Harvey (“He smelled like money sprayed with cologne.”—Pablo, 02:45).
• Gojo discusses attending as an “emotional support audience member,” bringing golden retriever energy to steady Pablo:

  “This was the hardest coattail riding I had done in quite some time. ...The least I could do was bring golden retriever energy.” (01:59)

The Steve Harvey Vortex and the Awkwardness of Celebrity

• Steve Harvey’s larger-than-life presence and loyalty to “real” celebrities (John Legend) is highlighted.
• Harvey’s attention to “the real celebrities” left Pablo feeling like an extra in his own story:

  “He immediately was, like, pointing to the real celebrities, like John Legend. That's his guy.” (04:31)

The “Team Asia” Fiasco and Production Panic

• The team, with several Asian members, wanted to call themselves “Team Asia.” Production was horrified.

  “His response to being provided the counter possibility of Team Asia was that of abject horror.” (08:28)

• Gojo describes white producers sweating:

  “I truly wish you guys could have seen the old white producers sweating when they kept going back and be like, no, we want to be Team Asia.” (08:51)

• The lesson: “ABC desperately needs more diversity in their corporate hiring.” (09:34, Dan)

Family Feud Strategy (Analytics Vs. The Feud)

• Katie Nolan, noted Feud superfan, gave Pablo “pro tips” over LA dinner:

  “Say good answer after every answer… But also…sometimes it’s not a bad strategy to pass, because if there’s a ton of answers on the board…statistically, to get all of those right is so unlikely.” (10:01–10:45)

• Dan Le Batard teases:

  “Oh, my God. Woke over here. Analytics over there. Can we just play the feud?” (11:27)

Game Play Meltdown & “Dumb Questions, Dumb Answers”

• The team struggles on trivia about “upsides to jail” and “sexy things you’d never want to see your mother wear”—the game requires “average American” thinking, not Harvard cleverness.
• Katie Nolan:

  “This game is average American. You’re supposed to think what is some dummy that’s answering this poll going to say, not the cleverest answer.” (14:01)

Embarrassment and Stage Fright

• After trailing 141–0, a stage manager gave a “Jim Valvano”–style “don’t give up” pep talk mid-game:

  “The stage manager comes by and is like, don’t give up. You can come back. It’s possible to win the game.” (16:15–16:25)

• Mina Kimes, as a hypercompetitive player, is especially mortified (“lava is spewing from her ears”—Gojo, 20:43).

On-air Chaos, Buzzer Blunders, and Redemption

• The team never catches fire, but their “steal” strategy keeps them in it.
• Gojo:

  “This entire game is actually a validation of Katie’s strategy: try to steal. Try to steal.” (26:02)

Sudden Death & History-Making Win

• Because neither team reached 300 points, the game went into a rare “sudden death”—a Feud oddity Steve Harvey bemoans on air. The team wins with the obvious answer:

  Steve Harvey: “Name a color used in camouflage.”
  Chris Ying: “Green.”
  (They win.) (29:08–30:12)

Fast Money: The Greatest Comeback

• Pablo and David Chang are chosen for Fast Money (though Pablo and Mina lobbied to be the pair).
• Pablo delivers under pressure, pulling off the best second-round Fast Money performance in Celebrity Family Feud history—an answer streak that shocks even Steve Harvey:

  Steve Harvey: “You can do what's never been done before. You can make history as the highest second contestant ever in the history of Celebrity Family Feud. Come on.” (38:20)

Pablo’s Fast Money Answers & Results (Main Sequence: 39:54–42:22)

• You’re naked in the woods. What do you cover yourself with? – “A leaf” (Big points, #1 answer)

• How nice are your neighbors? (1–10): – “4” (Not helpful, #1 was “10”)

• Greatest breakfast food: – “Bacon” (#1)

• Who not to call when drunk: – “Your mom” (37 points; #1 was “ex”)

• Coin to throw in a fountain: – “A penny” (clinches the win)

• The scene is electric—Pablo collapses on the ground, spins “like Homer Simpson,” is mock-defibrillated by Chrissy Teigen, and realizes the thrill of true, ludicrous, group TV glory.

3. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Pablo on Steve Harvey’s scent:

  “He smelled like money.” (02:45)

• Gojo on Pablo’s energy:

  “The least I could do was bring golden retriever energy to the audience.” (01:59)

• Katie on game show strategy:

  “Say good answer after every answer…But sometimes it’s not a bad strategy to pass, because if there’s a ton of answers on the board…statistically, to get all those right is so unlikely.” (10:01–10:45)

• Steve Harvey’s rare Feud admonition:

  “This is how bad this game has been going. If it's there or not we're gonna play Sudden Death because we don't have enough points to reach 300.” (26:31)

• Pablo’s Fast Money rally cries:

  Steve Harvey: “He got 54…You can make history as the highest second contestant ever in the history of Celebrity Family Feud. Come on.” (38:20)

• Pablo on victory:

  “I collapsed onto the ground and started doing… the Homer Simpson spinning around on his back thing… I was feeling all the feelings I had never allowed myself to feel before… I think this is what Tom Brady must feel like.” (43:15–43:34)

• Dan Le Batard recounting his own game show embarrassment:

  “The entire experience was so embarrassing that 30 years later, my brother would leave answering machine messages that would simply say ‘Ford’ and hang up because it was the only thing I got right.” (48:10)

5. The Episode in a Nutshell

Tone and Group Chemistry:

• The group dynamic is irreverent and affectionate, with relentless ribbing of Pablo and each other (“narcissist as ever,” Pablo calls himself).
• There’s a mix of high-level game analysis, meta-jokes about diversity and identity in Hollywood, and soul-baring confessions about the pressures of public performance.

For New Listeners or the Uninitiated:

• This episode is both a laugh-out-loud oral history of a thoroughly weird day on TV and a surprisingly moving tale of second chances, teamwork, and how even minimal dumb luck can lead to a “history-making” pop culture footnote.
• If you’ve never seen Pablo Torre or his friends on TV, you’ll leave with a vivid sense of their personalities, mutual respect (and mockery), and the stakes (however artificial) of modern celebrity.

---

6. Final Thoughts and Callbacks

• Pablo, against all odds and with questionable methods, becomes the highest-scoring second contestant in “Celebrity Family Feud” history.
• The show ends with further references to past game show humiliation (Dan’s “Ford” moment), playful feuding on word choices (dissed/dis/cussed), and a meditative, if slightly ridiculous, reflection on what it means to win—on TV, and in life.

“This has been Pablo Torre Finds Out, a Meadowlark Media production…” (50:03)

Transcript

[Pablo Torre]

Welcome to Pablo Torre finds out. I am Pablo Torre. And today we're gonna find out what this sound is.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, my God. Woke over here. Analytics over there. Can we just play the feud.

[Pablo Torre]

Right after this ad?

[Katie Nolan]

You're listening to Giraffe Kings.

[Pablo Torre]

I want to establish. So Dan is here, Gojo is here. Katie is here. Because people have been asking me, did you have a watch party for your episode of Celebrity Family Feud? And I said, absolutely not. I watched it by myself in my living room on the floor and was overwhelmed with everything that happened that I did not remember. And I said, the real watch party is happening in studio on a little show that is named after me, in which I will be the Most narcissistic Dan LeBatard that a narcissist has ever been.

[Dan LeBatard]

Not surprising at all that you would dedicate an entire episode to this. You told us don't bring any prep. Just bring yourselves. And we will just sit around talking about me the entire time.

[Pablo Torre]

It was so scary. Can I just say that up front, like, so Gojo is here. Not just because we love Gojo. Gojo is here because Gojo was there. Gojo was in the audience. It's a big building. It's the biggest building I've ever been in. It felt like. And there's crowds of people. I am the man in the arena, as Tom Brady likes to say, as that quote goes. And it's horrifying. And in the crowd, like an emotional support audience member dancing to the music piped into that arena is Mike Golik Jr. Just. Just being himself. And it helped me so much.

[Dan LeBatard]

Good teammate.

[Gojo]

I had to do something to at least offer any bit of value there because this was the hardest coattail riding I had done in quite some time. Just drafting off Mina and Pablo's popularity and how cool they are. To get myself in the door of my favorite game show all of my young adult life, into my adult life to see Steve Harvey in person. Pablo and me have made that possible. So the least I could do was bring golden retriever energy to the audience.

[Katie Nolan]

I would have killed to see a Steve Harvey family feud in person. I'm the most jealous. I've watched so many hours of this man perfectly hosting this game show.

[Pablo Torre]

Nothing has felt more like climbing into a television than encountering Steve Harvey in person. He is a surreal entity.

[Dan LeBatard]

What'd he smell like? What'd he smell like? Cologne. Cologne.

[Pablo Torre]

He smelled like money.

[Katie Nolan]

That's dirty smelling. That smells disgusting.

[Pablo Torre]

Money smells gross. It smelled like money sprayed with cologne.

[Katie Nolan]

Ah, okay.

[Pablo Torre]

It looked like A level from, like, a Batman video game. It did. It was just like enormous, gray, bleak. But in the middle of it were these gleaming lights in this soundstage in Culver City. And inside of that soundstage, the show began.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's time for Celebrity Family Feud from Freeforms.

[Katie Nolan]

So awkward at this part. I'm obsessed with how awkward you are.

[Pablo Torre]

Not the coolest I've ever looked.

[Katie Nolan]

No. The way you just look at other people.

[Dan LeBatard]

They're taking on Chrissy's co star, chef David Chang.

[Katie Nolan]

Looking at Mina looking around. Why don't they put you in order? Oh, starch.

[Dan LeBatard]

Then dry cleaning.

[Gojo]

Having to do that opposite John Legend, who is so effortlessly cool, and Steve.

[Dan LeBatard]

Harvey, who's so effortless.

[Pablo Torre]

Steve Harvey walks out there in a suit that I have never seen before.

[Katie Nolan]

It's just like no one's ever worn this color combination.

[Pablo Torre]

That's all one gleaming, shimmering color that smells like, again, pheromones.

[Katie Nolan]

Sateen, I think, is what it's called. I have no idea.

[Pablo Torre]

Yes.

[Katie Nolan]

Fancy. Very.

[Gojo]

You looked incredibly like a Bond villain.

[Katie Nolan]

He does.

[Pablo Torre]

And he, he immediately was, like, pointing to the real celebrities, like John Legend. It's like, that's his guy.

[Steve Harvey]

Ladies and gentlemen, my dog, the legend. John Legend, 12 time Grammy Award winner and Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony Award winner.

[Pablo Torre]

Wow.

[Steve Harvey]

And is currently on the Voice. How you been, man?

[Pablo Torre]

Very good. I'm looking to add Family Feud winner to my trophy list.

[Steve Harvey]

You know what?

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, immediately, by the way, they did start to, like, talk some shit.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh. But we're excited and we're ready.

[Steve Harvey]

Okay.

[Katie Nolan]

We've got some Harvard grads over there. Is that talking?

[Pablo Torre]

I mean, you graduated from Harvard. That's right.

[Dan LeBatard]

You do not know what it is like to be buried and talk. If you think that is talking.

[Pablo Torre]

Well, this is what became very obvious to us immediately. So David Chang had assembled, he casted this team of people who went to, like, fancy schools. So the team, I mean, look, I, I, I'll say this just for the record here. I wanted, like, Gronk. I felt like we needed one token white guy. I would have pulled Gojo out of the stands, frankly. But instead, what he did, what Chang did was assemble a team of like, of nerds to play Family Feud.

[Steve Harvey]

Let's go meet the Chang team. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for David Chang. Everybod. He's an award winning chef. You see him on Chrissy and Dave Dying out and Dinner Time live with David Chang and New York Times bestselling author for his cookbooks. Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle we west, everybody Pro golfer, five LPGA tour wins. I'm a big fan of yours. Ladies and gentlemen. Give it up for mena kind analysts on NFL Live, journalists at espn. Ladies and gentlemen, Pablo Torre, award winning sports writer, podcaster and ESPN host. Nice to meet you, Pablo. Ladies and gentlemen, last but not least, Chris Ying, podcaster and co host of Dinner Time Live. How you doing, man? I'm excellent.

[Pablo Torre]

The handshake was a big moment, vigorous.

[Katie Nolan]

What was? What prompted that? Why did he want that?

[Pablo Torre]

I don't know. No one else got their handshake displayed like that on our team.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, did you pull his hand over to you?

[Pablo Torre]

It's like I sort of wanted him to, to, to do.

[Gojo]

It was like that's the most alpha.

[Dan LeBatard]

Male boot camp endorsed handshake.

[Pablo Torre]

I've seen a presidential debate before. I need to send an electric sort of worm jolt into the guy I'm. I'm shaking hands with.

[Dan LeBatard]

Any particular reason I didn't hear Meadowlark said by Steve Harvey Instead of all the other things that were said about.

[Pablo Torre]

Pablo Torre, you will discover in the doing of this episode that in no way, at any point was I in control. I was not. I was Steve. Steve had an agenda, Dan, that did not involve celebrating the independent truth seeking media company that you and I, of course are so proud. So, so very proud to represent at all times.

[Katie Nolan]

And I still don't have a key card for. I still have to knock on the door.

[Pablo Torre]

Katie does sort of like paw, like. No, like a cat.

[Katie Nolan]

I need a fob.

[Gojo]

Yeah, you guys had an agenda going into the naming. You guys were almost not Team Chang on this. And we're making the ABC production very uncomfortable with your guys attempt at name changing.

[Pablo Torre]

Thank you for reminding me. So an example, the prime example of how we are not in control is that David Chang did not want to be the, the patriarch of this team. He didn't want to be team Chang. And so he was asking like, what should we be instead? And I was like, oh, we can choose. We should be team Asia. So many, many people were like, you know, this is confusing for lots of reasons because we are not related. For the record, we are not family.

[Katie Nolan]

I was gonna say, you're not doing yourself any favors with you and Mina aren't related. Are related rum.

[Pablo Torre]

So in this case we were like, we want to be Team Asia. And so we were telling this to the people out outside of the set before the thing started. And the producer, Gojo was there looking at the white man's face. His response to being provided the counter Possibility of Team Asia was that of abject horror.

[Gojo]

I truly wish you guys could have seen the old white producers sweating when they kept going back and be like, no, we want to be Team Asia.

[Pablo Torre]

And would have looked like Family Feud had named this team of Asian people Team Asia.

[Katie Nolan]

It also doesn't say team it right. I think it just says Chang.

[Pablo Torre]

Oh, it would have just said.

[Katie Nolan]

It would have just said Asia, which I think would not be good.

[Gojo]

They went back and, like, talked to the bigger boss, like, three times. Coming back after, like, he called really not do this.

[Pablo Torre]

He called his own manager and was like, I need to call the manager.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can you guys get corporate? I'm incredibly white. I'm in. I'm in deep. I'm in deep water here.

[Pablo Torre]

Can I tell them they can't be Asian?

[Dan LeBatard]

They can't be.

[Gojo]

This is where we learned that ABC desperately needs more diversity and their corporate hiring.

[Dan LeBatard]

Get your woke out of my Family Feud. Just get it out of here. Okay. Get to the fun, please.

[Pablo Torre]

So speaking of the fun, Katie and I had dinner that week in la. You were there randomly, and Katie provided me a strategy that I shouldn't have. I brought it to the team. I brought the strategy to the team. Could you explain the strategy?

[Katie Nolan]

Okay, so I, like, I said, I watch a lot of Family Feud and Pablo. I think when we had that dinner was like, I don't watch it. Almost borderline. Never seen it in the sense that, like, everybody's seen it. But you have not watched it recently.

[Pablo Torre]

I've never. I've never broken down the all 20.

[Katie Nolan]

Sure. And so I was kind of telling him, like, okay, you know, say good answer after every answer. That's kind of a common. You got to want to. Even if it's the worst answer you've ever heard, you got to hit him with a good answer. Be very encouraging and a good teammate, which did notice you did a bunch. I'm very proud of you. But I also. Then I went into something that later on my Uber ride back to my hotel, I was like, I don't think I should have told Pablo that. I think that was too Inside Feud. It was too next level from the subreddit. And when I told them that there was, you know, they give you. Once you get the answer, they're like, do you want to pass or do you want to play?

[Pablo Torre]

Do you kick or receive?

[Katie Nolan]

Yes. And I said, almost everybody says play because you're there to play the game. But technically, sometimes it's not a bad strategy to pass, because if there's A ton of answers on the board.

[Pablo Torre]

Seven or more, right?

[Katie Nolan]

Is that what it was? Did I say that specifically?

[Pablo Torre]

Yes. You get to see on the board how many cards are there to be turned over. And if there are seven or more, statistically, to get all of those right is so unlikely. And that's the only way you can get the points if you. If you choose to play.

[Katie Nolan]

Exactly.

[Pablo Torre]

And so what if you were to just.

[Katie Nolan]

If you Wait.

[Pablo Torre]

What if you were to tank the.

[Katie Nolan]

Buzzer and you let them get three wrong? Then it comes back to you. You only have to get one answer, and you can have collaborated on what that one is.

[Dan LeBatard]

Oh, my God. Woke over here. Analytics over there. Can we just play the few?

[Steve Harvey]

Finish him.

[Dan LeBatard]

Hey, take it easy. Take it easy.

[Steve Harvey]

Top seven answers on the board. Name something a man might see, say, is actually an upside to being in jail. When you hit the buzzer, you supposed to say something.

[Katie Nolan]

I'm like, how inappropriate can we be? Right?

[Steve Harvey]

Okay, Michelle.

[Katie Nolan]

No rent.

[Steve Harvey]

No rent. Alone time. Alone time.

[Pablo Torre]

Immediately.

[Gojo]

We're like the woke out of there pretty quickly.

[Pablo Torre]

Dan.

[Katie Nolan]

How can that not be? How can that be?

[Dan LeBatard]

No spouse. How can they be.

[Katie Nolan]

I know.

[Dan LeBatard]

Men only be wife.

[Gojo]

They're not letting the woke wound your feud, Dan.

[Pablo Torre]

That's right. The carceral state number one thing about it, no wife.

[Katie Nolan]

That's everybody's number one review.

[Gojo]

You.

[Pablo Torre]

You could tell by the way that, like, our plan immediately, like, hypothetically made sense. It's like seven answers on the board, all of that stuff. But we just. A recurring theme is that we are very slow on the buzzer. The good news, though, the silver lining was that the plan, the logic of the plan is borne out. It begins to work because the category is super hard. Seven answers. And just to speed through it, so number one, no wife slash family.

[Katie Nolan]

Ridiculous.

[Pablo Torre]

Number two meals a day.

[Katie Nolan]

Three meals a day.

[Pablo Torre]

Yep. Number three is no rent slash bills. Saw that. Number six is no job. Number seven is meet new friends. And so really, the four and five answers are left blank. And so we have a chance now to steal the category.

[Steve Harvey]

All right, here's your chance. Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail.

[Dan LeBatard]

Steve.

[Steve Harvey]

We're going to go with street cred.

[Pablo Torre]

Good answer.

[Katie Nolan]

Good answer.

[Dan LeBatard]

Too good. The answer was too good.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah. So we're down.

[Katie Nolan]

I will say this is where the Harvard and the, like, dream team assembly thing is actually not the greatest for this type of game. This game is average American. You're supposed to think like, what is some dummy that's answering this Poll going to say not what is the clever.

[Pablo Torre]

Smartest.

[Katie Nolan]

Cleverest answer.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, this. This became clear with the next category.

[Steve Harvey]

We got the top seven answers on the board. Name something sexy you'd never want to see your mother wearing.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, God, I hated this song.

[Steve Harvey]

Whoa.

[Katie Nolan]

Good answer.

[Dan LeBatard]

Exceptional answer.

[Katie Nolan]

But not number one.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, I would assume just lingerie, Right?

[Katie Nolan]

A teddy is a wild thing to say, but there it is.

[Pablo Torre]

There it is.

[Katie Nolan]

Also nighty. Nighty doesn't evoke sexy to me. Nighty is like a lot.

[Gojo]

That's the most John Legend answer of all time, though.

[Pablo Torre]

Like, of course he would say, yeah. An answer that's basically crooned even if it's said is Teddy. You could see, by the way, if you again grind the all 22, you can see Michelle. We after gets the answer right. Look back at us being like, are we gonna. Are we gonna pass?

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, that's funny.

[Pablo Torre]

And then of course, the choice is taken from our hands because John Legend, thank God, gets it right with Teddy. But again, Katie, it's seven answers.

[Katie Nolan]

Yep.

[Pablo Torre]

And of course they don't get all seven because getting all seven is statistically almost impossible. It turns out we got two strikes.

[Steve Harvey]

We got to be careful.

[Katie Nolan]

Chain team can steal sheer or see through clothing.

[Steve Harvey]

Sheer or see through clothing.

[Dan LeBatard]

Good answer, Lana.

[Katie Nolan]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Steve Harvey]

All right, here we go. Name something sexy you'd never want to see your mother wearing. Birthday suit. Nothing. Her birthday suit.

[Pablo Torre]

Bikini, bra, mini skirt. Sexy maid costume.

[Katie Nolan]

What?

[Dan LeBatard]

Stripper heels, Cheerleader outfit. Sexy maid.

[Pablo Torre]

But not a school girl specific fetish.

[Katie Nolan]

You can see your mom in a school girl.

[Dan LeBatard]

Outfit.

[Pablo Torre]

We're down 141 points to zero.

[Katie Nolan]

Crazy.

[Pablo Torre]

This is when. I don't know if Katie ever experienced this. I presume not in Celebrity Jeopardy. This is when the stage manager comes by and is like, don't give up.

[Katie Nolan]

That's not really funny.

[Pablo Torre]

You can come back. It's possible to win the game.

[Dan LeBatard]

Jim Valvano speech during Family Feud because you were down 141 to nothing. Don't ever give up.

[Pablo Torre]

We did not believe in miracles. We were contemplating increasingly that this was going to be just a series of viral humans humiliations. Nobody more concerned about this, by the way, than our dear friend Mina comes.

[Steve Harvey]

Welcome back, celebrity Family Feud. The legend team got 141. Chain team not on the board. Give me Jen. Give me Mina.

[Katie Nolan]

Come on.

[Dan LeBatard]

At this point, you feel like you're embarrassing your Asian brethren, right? You feel it?

[Katie Nolan]

No handshake. Oh, wow.

[Steve Harvey]

Nothing cold.

[Katie Nolan]

Come back starts here. Come back. Starts here.

[Steve Harvey]

Yeah. Point vase. Top seven answers on the board again.

[Katie Nolan]

Crazy.

[Steve Harvey]

What kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to a wooden spatula?

[Katie Nolan]

What? What?

[Steve Harvey]

All right, now.

[Katie Nolan]

And she goes, I don't cook.

[Steve Harvey]

Get a splinter in it.

[Gojo]

Underrated line of the show. Get a splinter.

[Katie Nolan]

I'm gonna go with nothing.

[Steve Harvey]

Oven.

[Katie Nolan]

Hey. Oh, what's they get?

[Pablo Torre]

What are they gonna do?

[Steve Harvey]

We're gonna play.

[Pablo Torre]

We. Mina unilaterally was like, we're not getting skunked like this. We're receiving. Yeah, we're playing.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah. The right call.

[Pablo Torre]

The stage manager also, by the way.

[Gojo]

Absolutely the right call. You didn't come out here to lay up.

[Katie Nolan]

Exactly. If it hadn't been. If the game wasn't going the way it was going, it would be nuts to pass with zero points on the board. We finally got it. No, thanks, you guys.

[Dan LeBatard]

Take this one. Wait a minute.

[Pablo Torre]

That was your third Sixers season that they tanked in. It was like, guys, really? Again?

[Dan LeBatard]

I feel like what Katie just did there is what I spent like seven seasons ago yelling about in football that you have to go for it on 4th and short. And then someone would fail on 4th and short, and people would yell at me, you idiot.

[Katie Nolan]

You can't go for it.

[Dan LeBatard]

She just made the correct argument and in fact taught me something about feud strategy I did not know by saying you got to pass when there are seven of them. But not if you have zero points and you have a chance on behalf of Asia to be sent home. Not getting to ever play the game.

[Gojo]

That is tough.

[Pablo Torre]

Billions. I could feel the billions upon billions of people on the planet pressuring me as this happened.

[Steve Harvey]

Come on. Here we go. Come on, Pablo. Let's go, baby. What kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to, Steve?

[Katie Nolan]

Huh?

[Pablo Torre]

I'm going to compare it to a blender.

[Steve Harvey]

A blender.

[Dan LeBatard]

Which is what I said at home.

[Steve Harvey]

Putting it on you.

[Katie Nolan]

Big. Big.

[Gojo]

We should have known right after that that Pablo was destined for great things on this show.

[Pablo Torre]

Big putting it on you.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's Steve Harvey just saying that Pablo in the bedroom is putting it on you. Because it's not a way I've ever.

[Katie Nolan]

Looked at Pablo before or blenders.

[Pablo Torre]

That is a LinkedIn endorsement. Now on my profile, Steve Harvey Harvey.

[Katie Nolan]

Said putting it on you.

[Pablo Torre]

He puts it on you.

[Katie Nolan]

Amazing.

[Pablo Torre]

It was not a concern because luckily our team, our team captain is the head of a food empire, a food media company, and they were going next.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah, true.

[Steve Harvey]

Chris, what kitchen gadget will you compare your love making to?

[Gojo]

My love making is most similar To a potato masher.

[Katie Nolan]

Mom specific.

[Pablo Torre]

Good answer.

[Gojo]

See again, 2. Inside baseball.

[Katie Nolan]

Comparable to a. I do love the way.

[Steve Harvey]

David, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?

[Katie Nolan]

You gotta get this one, dude. Come on.

[Steve Harvey]

Be quick like a microwave oven.

[Katie Nolan]

A microwave oven.

[Steve Harvey]

Cause it's quick like a microwave oven.

[Pablo Torre]

On brand.

[Katie Nolan]

On brand, too.

[Steve Harvey]

Plus 30 microwave.

[Dan LeBatard]

The idea that Michelle, we would be suffering this indignity, and I know her to be less competitive on that panel than Mina Kimes, who right now know like lava is spewing from her ears because she's embarrassing herself nationally and internationally.

[Pablo Torre]

She was.

[Gojo]

And she weaponized that to immediately not help David Chang get an answer in a field that he knows very well, but to remind him that the eyes of the nation.

[Katie Nolan]

She held her gun to his head. She was like, you better get this right.

[Pablo Torre]

You gotta get this common, dude. This is slash mother.

[Katie Nolan]

Also, the two. The. The tone of it was like, we gotta get this.

[Pablo Torre]

Like, he's increasingly aggro y. Yeah.

[Gojo]

She was the audience yelling at him at home from right next to him. That was supposed to be the supportive teammate.

[Pablo Torre]

And also, just so we can get Mina's actual thoughts on the matter herself, here she is on an episode of the Dave Chang show that we just taped, explaining what was going through her mind as all of us were getting zero answers correct when the questions and.

[Katie Nolan]

The answers started coming in and we saw how dumb they're dumb. This is not elitist of me to say they're dumb questions with dumb answers. I think that's just accurate. However, because I'm competitive, when we started losing, I pivoted to this game is dumb, and I hate it. It's for idiots so quickly. And I feel like we all did.

[Pablo Torre]

My whole thing, by the way, at this point was like. And I had to sort of, who am I channeling? What's my motivation? Right? I'm not me. Who am I trying to be? I'm like, oh, what would Homer Simpson do? Was the question that was like, what would. What would Homer Simpson do? If he was being polled by the survey? I don't think Michelle. We necessarily approached it in the same way.

[Steve Harvey]

Michelle, we got two strikes. The Legend team can steal air fryer. And air fryer. It don't really fry. It just makes you think it's fried air fryer.

[Pablo Torre]

And so, of course, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, they smell blood.

[Steve Harvey]

Chrissy, darling, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?

[Katie Nolan]

I'm gonna go with slow cooker. Slow cooker.

[Gojo]

John Legend literally Crooning. Did he unbutton another button during that answer?

[Katie Nolan]

I think he did. Crazy. That's four hours. You could cook something on slow cookers. Four hours. That's insane. I'd be tapping way out.

[Dan LeBatard]

Do you guys know how hard it is for me, forgive the phrasing of that, to be jealous of the bedroom life of two people while I'm watching Family Feud, based on just how they answered that.

[Gojo]

Like, she did not actually care about the. The actual ability of that answer to be right as much as it was to just remind people, hey, I'm a.

[Katie Nolan]

Model and he's a crooner, and we bang quite a bit for quite a long time.

[Gojo]

Everything you guys think, it's all true.

[Katie Nolan]

The flavor is being stewed into the meat slowly throughout the day.

[Dan LeBatard]

And you thought Pablo put it on you.

[Pablo Torre]

For the record here, the answers were in order from 1 to 7. Blender, slash, mixer, spoon, slash ladle, hot oven, cork opener, can opener, nuts, baster, whisk, slash beater.

[Katie Nolan]

Also, the fact that fork isn't on there is crazy. It sounds like nobody said fork just so. It was very frustrating. You had very frustrating questions.

[Pablo Torre]

I like that. Katie, is the election denier on the show? Like, this is. This is. Luckily, though, what we stole was 98 points.

[Katie Nolan]

Nice.

[Pablo Torre]

We're on the board. We got no answers that actually deserve 98 points, but we got 98 points. And now I have to walk up to the buzzer.

[Steve Harvey]

Give me Mike. Give me Pablo. Come on, Mike. All right, fellas. Point values are triple. We got the top four answers on the board. We asked 100 married men. If you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy?

[Pablo Torre]

Car.

[Steve Harvey]

A car.

[Katie Nolan]

What is stopping you from buying a car when you have a wife?

[Dan LeBatard]

But Pablo, Pablo, real quick. So far, no one has actually won this game by doing it correctly.

[Steve Harvey]

Correct.

[Dan LeBatard]

The only winners there are here are points. Points given because the other people have failed.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

So just so we can speed through this part, nobody gets anything right on that side. And so the opportunity to steal, again, this, to Dan's point, this entire game is actually a validation of Katie's strategy, which is try to steal. Try to steal. But before we do, something happens that I don't know has ever happened in the history of celebrity, Family Feud, or anything. It's pathetic. And it is voiced by Steve Harvey himself.

[Steve Harvey]

Come on out the huddle. Cause I got some news for you. Here's the deal. This is how bad this game has been going. If it's there or not we gonna play such a. Because we don't have enough points to reach 300.

[Dan LeBatard]

Man, we did it.

[Katie Nolan]

We did it.

[Steve Harvey]

So the pressure's all off, but let's just see anyway. All right, we ask 100 married men, if you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy?

[Dan LeBatard]

Motorcycle, Steve.

[Pablo Torre]

Good answer.

[Steve Harvey]

A motorcycle.

[Katie Nolan]

Not good enough.

[Dan LeBatard]

These answers that you guys are giving are just clearly too good.

[Pablo Torre]

This was Mina's thought, which you can hear her think as we hear what the answers turned out to be.

[Katie Nolan]

So stupid. Oh, no.

[Pablo Torre]

Mina is at that moment reading her own mentions from the future.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, my God. She so is. She's doing the mental math of how this is gonna go for her.

[Pablo Torre]

And by the way, like, so Gojo, I think, could get this sense from being around us pregame. But like David Chang and Chris Yang, these are business partners, friends. But Chang doesn't trust Chris. That's why. So Dan was asking, like, what's the lineup order? The lineup order was that whatever it is, Chris Yang is last because David Chang regards him as a choker. And just so you know that I am not exaggerating any of this, here is Dave Chang on the Dave Chang show, describing Chris Ying's history of choking.

[Dan LeBatard]

Listen, Chris Ying is well known to choke under pressure at ordering in a restaurant, okay? He orders the most ridiculous things. Cause he's so nervous that the waiter is waiting too long for an answer. That I was like, man, this. We won't even need Chris at the end. I'll have two Cobb salads.

[Steve Harvey]

Yeah.

[Dan LeBatard]

So that's why I was like, chris is going to be great. Just don't put him in a high pressure situation.

[Pablo Torre]

He does not want him to go to the buzzer. In Family Feud rules, the first four people of your team, don't they go to the buzzer. The fifth person does not.

[Katie Nolan]

Right?

[Pablo Torre]

Unless.

[Katie Nolan]

Unless.

[Pablo Torre]

Unless.

[Katie Nolan]

Unless he sucks so bad.

[Pablo Torre]

An unprecedented sudden death sub 300 buzz off, in which suddenly the fifth starting your rotation has to go up with everything on the line and do this.

[Steve Harvey]

Well, nobody reached 300 points, so we gonna play sudden death.

[Dan LeBatard]

I've never seen that before.

[Gojo]

In his most excited game show host voice, the most disappointed he's ever been.

[Katie Nolan]

It's. I've seen it in real, but I've never seen it in slippery. Oh, my God.

[Steve Harvey]

For this survey, we are asking for the top answer only. Whoever gets this one answer will win the game. Good luck to both of you. Here we go. Name a color used in camouflage.

[Pablo Torre]

So just to Pause this here. This is the most insultingly easy category in the history of game shows. What is the color associated with camouflage? And there is just one stupid answer. It is the opposite of our strategy. We have to buzz first and say the obvious answer. Just say it, Chris. Ying. Buzzing and say it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Choker.

[Steve Harvey]

Camouflage.

[Pablo Torre]

Green.

[Steve Harvey]

Green.

[Katie Nolan]

Look at him. Look at him.

[Gojo]

Chris Yang is Kirk Cousins leading the game winning drive on Monday Night Football with the Atlanta Falcons. A whole game of relative mediocrity in the passing game for someone not known as a clutch performer. And in the biggest spot he absolutely lands playing.

[Dan LeBatard]

Two observations here. Two observations. One is that that got only 82 out of 100 people on green, which is funny by itself, but also the only way that I can interpret what that question was, the way that I heard it is what color is green? Like, that's how I heard it. They were just.

[Katie Nolan]

It's like Celebrity Jeopardy. Snl.

[Dan LeBatard]

They're trying to help toddlers win the game that they're bad at.

[Katie Nolan]

What noise does a doggy make?

[Pablo Torre]

They're like, the runtime of this show does not accommodate an extra round. So let's make sure this one, we won the game 98 to 285.

[Katie Nolan]

Okay.

[Pablo Torre]

We lost the game by being down 187 points, but because of green made it to Fast Money. Fast Money, for those who are not familiar, is the part of the show where your charity. This is for charity. Let's also remember that. I guess that's important. They win all the money if you can crack 200 points.

[Dan LeBatard]

That question, by the way, was also charity, to be clear.

[Steve Harvey]

Hey, I need two of you. I got David and Pablo. Oh, David. Hey, thanks. We'll be right back. Fast Money right after this.

[Pablo Torre]

Jojo, explain what you saw.

[Gojo]

Originally you guys had selected you and Mina to represent the team up there.

[Pablo Torre]

Yes.

[Gojo]

But they wanted to have David up there because it was his team. And so Mina had to go back to the bullpen. This was not seen on tv, but this is the behind the scenes part of this that they had to decide.

[Pablo Torre]

Yes.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah.

[Pablo Torre]

Dan, there is a take of this where me and Mina are standing on either side of Steve Harvey about to do Fast Money.

[Katie Nolan]

I would love to see her face. I want to see Pablo.

[Dan LeBatard]

You gotta get that. You gotta call the Feud and you gotta get. You've gotta get them to give you the audio that hasn't been released. You have to.

[Pablo Torre]

It gets better because me and Mina are locked in. Obviously Chang didn't want to do it.

[Katie Nolan]

Right.

[Pablo Torre]

That's why Mina and I were there, and the stage manager who was like, by the way, guys, please don't give up. Was like, by the way, guys, this is Celebrity Family Feud. The captain of the team needs to do this. You coward.

[Katie Nolan]

You guys should have argued back. We're all so famous. Okay.

[Pablo Torre]

Have you ever watched. Yeah. Afternoon sports television at a sports bar?

[Katie Nolan]

We're very famous to a. A very niche group.

[Pablo Torre]

That's right. This was the third take, by the way. So at one point, Steve Harvey says, david, good to see you. Because Chiang was so discombobulated.

[Gojo]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

When he. Remember this Gojo, he walks out and he keeps on walking off stage. He doesn't stop. It's like the opposite of when Michael Vick scored that touchdown against the Vikings where he runs out the tunnel, except it's before anything is actually scored.

[Katie Nolan]

Why?

[Pablo Torre]

Because he didn't know what was happening.

[Dan LeBatard]

And doesn't want to do it. Like, clearly doesn't. He's being badgered into doing something. Bullied into a stage manager. Look, I don't want to talk about why it is that meekness is not acceptable in these circumstances, but walking off of the stage three times because you're afraid of a stage manager does not deserve to be a captain of one of these teams.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, no.

[Pablo Torre]

So after the successful take three, I get sent backstage. So I go second. So immediately we're like, I should probably go last.

[Katie Nolan]

You know, so he's. So there's not so much pressure on him.

[Pablo Torre]

He doesn't pass out like, trying to. Trying to help Chang. They send me backstage and I have big headphones on.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah. Because they ask the same five questions.

[Pablo Torre]

Exactly.

[Katie Nolan]

And you cannot give the same answer as each other.

[Pablo Torre]

And so I have never. Of course, I've never seen the backstage of Family Feud. It is. It is an even more intimidating place. Headphones go on. Big headphones like these. And on loop in my headphones is the song. Hey, Jealousy.

[Katie Nolan]

Huh? Gin Blossoms.

[Pablo Torre]

So there was a security guard standing in front of me looking, and in front of him was the monitor in which you could see everything.

[Katie Nolan]

Huh.

[Pablo Torre]

And so he had that monitor at like a 1 degree angle past what I could see, almost daring me to try and, like, break out and, like, peek around the corner. Instead, I'm just, like, locking eyes with this man as he close my eyes as he is watching this as hey, Jealousy in Like a Clockwork Orange. Like, just military style. Torture Experiment is playing over and over again, which means that I could not experience what Gojo got to see in the audience, which was this and now.

[Steve Harvey]

It'S time to play. All right, you ready? Let's go. 20 seconds on the clock, please. We asked 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with?

[Dan LeBatard]

Branches.

[Steve Harvey]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors?

[Dan LeBatard]

2.

[Steve Harvey]

Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.

[Dan LeBatard]

Burrito.

[Steve Harvey]

Name someone you should never call when you're drunk.

[Pablo Torre]

Police.

[Steve Harvey]

Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish. Porter. All right, let's go. We asked one. 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with? You said some branches. Survey said, on a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors? You said 2. Survey said, name the greatest breakfast food ever created. You said the burrito. Survey said, yeah, Name someone you should never call when you're drunk. You said, oh, yeah, the police. Hello, it's me. Survey said.

[Katie Nolan]

It'S so funny. Hello.

[Steve Harvey]

Going to a fountain to make a wish. You said quarter. Survey said.

[Pablo Torre]

Just hello, it's me.

[Katie Nolan]

So funny.

[Pablo Torre]

Being roasted by.

[Katie Nolan]

Don't call the cops. Since a you're hammered. I thought it was a better answer than eight.

[Pablo Torre]

GoJo, what was the mood in the room?

[Gojo]

Extremely down. Like it had been the entire time. Like, this was the extension of exactly what you guys had put on tape so far, this performance. And so now you were coming up into arguably the most high pressure environment in game shows, where you were the last lifeline for this team. And I am so fascinated to get a peek under the hood, Pablo, because, like Katie, we all sit at home and play this and yell it out, but it's impossible to replicate the circumstances that you walked into here. And I love you, but you were wearing the nerves coming out. Like, I could see it on you as you walked out. And put those headphones off.

[Pablo Torre]

I walked out. Okay. Headphones off. Hey, jealousy is over. I walk out, I immediately notice a. A almost like depressive Mina Kimes.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah, she was stone faced.

[Pablo Torre]

And. And the mood in the room is a mixture of things that is confusing to me and only making me more and more like a dog.

[Katie Nolan]

But you and like a puppy they put in a room. And he's like, what?

[Pablo Torre]

Right?

[Katie Nolan]

There's a lot of sensory overload.

[Pablo Torre]

I. I may have started peeing down my leg.

[Steve Harvey]

Well, Pablo.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, Steve.

[Steve Harvey]

It's gonna take a massive effort.

[Pablo Torre]

Okay?

[Steve Harvey]

He didn't do bad.

[Pablo Torre]

Okay. Okay.

[Steve Harvey]

He got 54.

[Pablo Torre]

Okay. Yeah, that's all right.

[Steve Harvey]

Yeah, partner.

[Katie Nolan]

All right. You got no Pablo.

[Steve Harvey]

I believe in you, Pablo. Now listen to me. Listen to me, all right? You got all the number ones left on Regular Family Feud. I've seen people make this comeback. This will be the first on Celebrity Pablo. You can do what's never been done before. You can make history as the highest second contestant ever in the history of Celebrity Family Feud. Come on. Gonna be a little bit tougher. We're gonna give you 25 seconds.

[Katie Nolan]

How high were you? Actually?

[Pablo Torre]

I was. I was residually stoned. It was in my bloodstream.

[Katie Nolan]

It was clearly, like, meant to say something else, but the way he said that in your face just went.

[Pablo Torre]

It was one of those things where.

[Katie Nolan]

I'm like, does he know?

[Pablo Torre]

Does Steve Harvey know?

[Katie Nolan]

Does he know? Pretty high right now.

[Pablo Torre]

Does Steve Harvey expect me to not look into the camera and break the fourth wall and acknowledge what was just said?

[Katie Nolan]

You seemed not. Not that nervous to me there. So we're very like, okay, that's doable. The little point, that confidence.

[Pablo Torre]

Honestly, when Steve said that, it kind of broke me out of a spell a bit. And I was like, oh, okay, wait a minute.

[Gojo]

As the drug's wearing off, opportunity has arrived.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, I will say I did. From there. Mostly blackout.

[Steve Harvey]

You ready?

[Pablo Torre]

I'm ready, Steve.

[Steve Harvey]

All right, let's remind everybody of David's answers. 25 seconds on the clock, please. Let's go, man.

[Pablo Torre]

All right.

[Steve Harvey]

We asked 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with?

[Pablo Torre]

A leaf.

[Steve Harvey]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors? 4. Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.

[Pablo Torre]

Bacon.

[Steve Harvey]

Name someone you should never call when you're drunk. Your mom names a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.

[Pablo Torre]

A penny.

[Katie Nolan]

We got a shot so fast. So fast you were.

[Gojo]

That was Will Ferrell in old school.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

I truly, like lost consciousness. Pure instinct.

[Katie Nolan]

Look at you.

[Steve Harvey]

We asked 100 men. You're naked in the woods. Someone walks by. What do you cover yourself with? You said a leaf. Survey said it.

[Gojo]

Right there. We knew we had a shot. 50 out the gate.

[Steve Harvey]

It's a big leaf. Leaf.

[Katie Nolan]

It's a big leaf, he says. And good specification.

[Pablo Torre]

It's a big leaf. Big leaf.

[Steve Harvey]

We need 94 points on a scale of 1 to 10, how nice are your neighbors? You said about a 4. Survey said the number one answer was 10. 10.

[Pablo Torre]

I'm from New York.

[Steve Harvey]

For real? For real, bro. For real. Name the greatest breakfast food ever created. You said bacon. Survey said.

[Katie Nolan]

Number one answer. 23.

[Pablo Torre]

What would Homer Simpson do?

[Steve Harvey]

One answer.

[Pablo Torre]

What would Homer Simpson do?

[Steve Harvey]

We need 71 number one answer.

[Katie Nolan]

23.

[Steve Harvey]

You should never call when you're drunk. You said don't ever call your mom. Survey said 37. Come on, come on, come on, come on. The number one answer.

[Pablo Torre]

Come on.

[Steve Harvey]

Was your ex.

[Pablo Torre]

Thank you, John Legend.

[Katie Nolan]

Thank you, John Legend.

[Steve Harvey]

To make a wish. You said the penny.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes. Man of the people.

[Steve Harvey]

Survey said.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, my God.

[Steve Harvey]

Why?

[Katie Nolan]

It's still exciting. It's still electric.

[Steve Harvey]

My God.

[Dan LeBatard]

Pablo's little, like. What was that?

[Pablo Torre]

That was a seawalk.

[Dan LeBatard]

It was a sea walk. No, but before that, out, he was Russell Crowe in Gladiator. Are you not entertained? That is the most confident Pablo has ever been. Come to me, Steve Harvey and the Feud and the adoring masses out there. I am the greatest thing you have ever seen.

[Gojo]

Who was it that compared you to Peter Weber? Who do you think you are? I am.

[Pablo Torre]

Yes. I did not remember reacting like that. Obviously. Yeah. When I watched it back, I was like. Like, it kind of looks like I'm waiting for Steve Harvey to catch me. Like, I wanted to, you know, jump into his arms. He did not. He turned away. Yeah, but what was cut down, Gojo, you were there. In my mind, we celebrated for, like, 30 minutes.

[Gojo]

Weren't you on the ground for a little while?

[Pablo Torre]

So I collapsed onto the ground and started doing, like, the Homer Simpson spinning around on his back thing.

[Katie Nolan]

Why?

[Pablo Torre]

Because I was just feeling all of the feelings I had never allowed myself to feel before.

[Katie Nolan]

Crazy feeling to. On a television set.

[Pablo Torre]

My feeling was, I think this is what Tom Brady must feel like.

[Katie Nolan]

And that's what he's always doing, spinning.

[Pablo Torre]

Around on his back above me. I looked up. This is not a joke. It was cut from the episode. I looked up almost as if on an operating table post surgery, and there was Chrissy Teigen, like, with fake defibrillators on my chest, like, getting into the routine of me, like, being on the floor, like, comatose. All of that got cut.

[Katie Nolan]

Wow. I wonder why.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, I feel like it wasn't budgeted in the time of it.

[Dan LeBatard]

Can we get it, though? Can we get. Can we ask the Feud people to get that for us?

[Katie Nolan]

We need the Mina footage, and then we also need you spinning on the ground like a potato bug.

[Pablo Torre]

The PTFO investigation is forthcoming.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes.

[Dan LeBatard]

Please find out after the question about being nude in the woods. You said a leaf, and then you went to a big leaf. You wanted to point that out. And you had another joke in the holster that Steve Harvey starred. Started to talk over. Where were you going with the big leaf? The banana leaf. Where were you headed?

[Pablo Torre]

I think. I think I was going towards banana leaf, but I was gonna, like, you know, make it even more obviously a penis.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah, I think that. I think we got it. I think when you said leaf, I think everybody went. And so it's a good thing that you clarified it was the number one answer.

[Pablo Torre]

A banana leaf is enormous, by the way. We're gonna put up a photo of a banana.

[Katie Nolan]

Definitely do that. Definitely do that.

[Pablo Torre]

I mean, it's just one of the biggest leaves.

[Katie Nolan]

Sure.

[Gojo]

Yeah. Definitely Google Pablo's banana leaf.

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah, I was like billions of billions of Asian people want me to yell banana leaf? Just to clarify. Was my.

[Katie Nolan]

See, I would have said a bush and that would have gotten me in my own type of trouble, you know. You did it, Pablo.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

Yes, you did it.

[Steve Harvey]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

I didn't realize when I showed up that day that I would become the highest second contestant in the history of celebrity Family Feud. But that's what. That's what it was like. It made me think of great game show contestants like Katie Nolan, of course.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes, of course.

[Pablo Torre]

The trilogy we chronicled on ptfo. At length, length in this way.

[Dan LeBatard]

There we go. Here we go.

[Pablo Torre]

And also. And also Michael Jr. And also Dan Lebatar.

[Dan LeBatard]

Have you seen this? Have you seen this?

[Katie Nolan]

Go, Jo. I have. And I love this.

[Gojo]

No.

[Mina Kimes]

We have with us here on our very stage here in Orlando, the hurricanes of Miami of Florida auto racing. Now for both.

[Katie Nolan]

Amazing.

[Mina Kimes]

In 1904, driving one of his own cars, this American drove one mile in under 40 seconds. That was an average speed of 91 miles an hour. Name that American auto manufacturer, Miami Ford. Henry Ford. That is correct. Let's meet the players.

[Pablo Torre]

I'm Dan lebatard.

[Mina Kimes]

I'm a 19 year old sophomore majoring.

[Pablo Torre]

In news, editorial journalism and politics.

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm from Miramar, Florida.

[Mina Kimes]

All right, Hurricane Gaines, we're glad to have you in. The 1972 Summer Olympic Games took place in what city?

[Pablo Torre]

Oklahoma.

[Mina Kimes]

Camp Munich. Munich is right. Which Boston Red Sox pitcher threw the Most shutouts in 1987? Miami. Time. All right, that wraps up our 102nd round. And Oklahoma is the champion.

[Pablo Torre]

Dance two handed buzzer technique.

[Gojo]

I was just gonna say, you can learn so much about someone in this game based on how they caressed the buzzer. And Dan, just fully. What made you switch from fully enveloping it in your closed hands to then offering that little sliver of it later?

I was leaking confidence throughout that. The part, the part that Pablo has not revealed is that a couple of haunting things here. First, Cam from Oklahoma is someone who still haunts me 35 years later because he kicked our ass. But the answer that you saw that correctly, Ford was my only correct answer the entire time. And the entire experience was so embarrassing that 30 years later, my. My brother would leave answering machine messages that would simply say ford, and he'd hang up because it was the only thing I got right. The entire time I was on, there was the single word, Ford.

19 is crazy. I would have said 23. 19. When was this? You're a fully grown man. Where was this?

[Dan LeBatard]

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that this was 1980. 87. 87.

[Katie Nolan]

The late 1900s.

[Pablo Torre]

Oh, God. Yes.

[Dan LeBatard]

This was in Orlando. It was Boardwalk and baseball somewhere near Disney World. And I will say that that leisure suit was the only suit that I owned, and it, too, was about 19 years old.

[Pablo Torre]

The relatability game show.

[Steve Harvey]

Me.

[Mina Kimes]

Me.

[Katie Nolan]

Yeah. This is, like. Feels like the make a wish thing you said to me when I did Jeopardy. Pablo said, I can't shake the feeling. This feels like a make a wish type of situation. And I was like, thanks. Thanks, buddy.

[Dan LeBatard]

What is the main color in camouflage? Isn't that.

[Gojo]

Pablo went all the way from being dissed for going to Harvard to answering with the penny?

[Pablo Torre]

Yeah.

[Katie Nolan]

Yes.

[Pablo Torre]

I went all the way from being dissed to putting it on you.

[Katie Nolan]

Oh, God, I wish I didn't make eye contact. You did that.

[Gojo]

He said dis. He said dissed with a.

[Pablo Torre]

With a d. No.

[Katie Nolan]

Stop saying more things.
