Introduction

Shane
Today on Glue Guys, very special guest. It's nice to have someone in the studio with me for once because usually I'm the odd man out. I'm the one on the television screen. So today, look at this. Look at this in person.

The one and only Pablo Torre. You may know him from ESPN features, Around the Horn, High Noon. And now he is the host of the brilliant, the bizarre Pablo Torre Finds Out. He is one of the smartest people in sports media and in media. Harvard grad.

And he can wax poetic about NBA drama and political discord and discourse in the same breath. So it is a friend of the show. Pablo, we've known each other for a long time. I know you've had a relationship with Alex Smith. So this is a very special episode of Glue Guys want to welcome our friend Pablo Torre.

I thought this was going to be more adversarial. I was hoping to argue to get some takes off with you. Instead, I realized that I'm staring to my right, not just a media gas bag that I adore in Shane Battier, but I look and Alex knows this. Ravi, I just want you to, I need you to understand. I claim Alex Smith in my coaching tree as a podcaster.
