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
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 Labetard that a narcissist has ever been.
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.
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 Golig Jr.
Just
being himself, and it helped me so much.
Good teammate.
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.
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.
Nothing has felt more like climbing into a television than encountering Steve Harvey in person.
He is a surreal entity.
What'd he smell like?
What'd he smell like?
Cologne?
Cologne?
He smelled like money.
That's dirty smelling.
That smells disgusting, right?
Money smells.
He smelled like money sprayed with collab.
Ah, okay.

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 sound stage,
the show began.
It's time for Celebrity Family Feud
from Freeforms.
So awkward at this part.
I'm obsessed obsessed with how awkward you are.
Not the coolest I've ever looked.
No.
The way you just look at other people.
Looking at Mina, looking around.
And then try to curse.
Why don't they put you in order?
Oh, because you had to be middle.
Starched, then dried cleaning.
Having to do that opposite John Legend, who is so effortlessly cool,
and Steve Harvey, who's so effortlessly cool.
I mean,
Steve Harvey walks out there in a suit that I have never seen before.
Yeah, just like no one's ever won that.
Color combination that's all one gleaming, shimmering color that smells like again, pheromones.
Sateen, I think, is what it's called.
I have no idea.
Yes.
Fancy.
Very fancy.
You looked incredibly cool.
He sounds like a Bond villain.
He does.
And he immediately was like pointing to the real celebrities, like John Legend.
It's like, that's his guy.
My dog, the legend, John Legend.
12-time Grammy Award winner and Oscar Emmy, Golden Globe, and Tony Award winner.
Wow.
And it's currently on the voice.
How you being, man?
Very good.
I'm looking to add Family Feud winner to my trophy list.
You know what?
Yeah, immediately, by the way, they did start to like talk some shit.
Oh,
we're excited and we're ready.
Okay, well, we got some Harvard grabs over there.
Is that talking?
I mean he graduated from Harvard that's right
you do not know what it is like to be buried in talk
if you think that is talking
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'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.
Let's go meet the Chang team.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for David Chang, everybody.
He's an award-winning chef.
You see him on Chrissy and Dave Dying Out and dinner time live with David Chang, a New York Times best-selling 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 Mina Kynes.
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 Yean, podcaster and co-host of Dinnertime Live.
How you doing, man?
I'm excellent.
The handshake was a big moment.
Vigorous.
What prompted that?
Why did he want that?
I don't know.
No one else got their handshake displayed like that on our team.
Oh, did you pull his hand over to you?
It's like I sort of wanted him to
do
that.
It was like a, that's the most alpha male boot camp endorsed handshake.
I've seen a presidential debate before.
I need to send an electric sort of worm jolt into the guy I'm shaking hands with.
Any particular reason I didn't hear Metal Lark said by Steve Harvey instead of all the other things that were said about 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.
And I still don't have a key card for her.
I still have to knock on the door.
Katie does sort of like paw like a
cat.
I need a fob.
Yeah.
You guys had an agenda going into the naming.
You guys were almost not Team Chang on this and were making the ABC production staff very uncomfortable with your guys' attempt at name change.
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
patriarch of this team.
He didn't want to be Team Chang.
And so he was asking, 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.
I was gonna say, you're not doing yourself any favors with the you and me aren't related, are related rumors.
So, in this case, we were like, We want to be team Asia.
And so, we were telling this to the people
outside of the set before the thing started.
And the producer, Gojo, was there looking
the white man's face, his response to being provided the counter possibility of Team Asia was that of abject horror.
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.
And would have looked like Family Feud had named this team of Asian people Team Asia.
It also doesn't say team.
It, right?
I think it just says Chang.
Oh, it would have just said Asia.
It would have just said Asia, which I think would not be good.
They went back and like talked to the bigger boss like three times and coming back after like
really not do this?
He called his own manager and was like, I need to call the manager.
Can you guys get corporate?
I'm incredibly white.
I'm in out
water here.
Can I tell them they can't be Asian?
They can't be.
This is where we learned that ABC desperately needs more diversity.
Yeah, I was going to say they didn't have an Asian to call.
Get your woke out of my family feud.
Just get it out of here, okay?
Get to the fun, please.
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 did.
I brought it to the team.
I brought the strategy to the team.
Could you explain the strategy?
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 i've never i've never broken down the all 20 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 i 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?
Do you kick or receive?
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.
Seven or more.
Right.
Is that what it was?
Did I say that specifically?
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 choose to play.
Exactly.
And so, what if you were to just
tank the 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.
Oh, my God.
Woke over here.
Analytics over there.
Can we just play the
few?
Finish him.
Hey, take it easy.
Take it easy.
Top seven answers on the board.
Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail.
When you hit the buzzer, you post a single one.
I'm like, how inappropriate can we be?
Right?
Okay, Michelle.
No rent.
No rent.
John.
Alone time.
Alone time.
Immediately, we're like.
How can that not be?
How can that be?
No spouse.
How can that be?
I know.
How can that only be wife
they're not letting the woke wound your fuse hand that's right the carceral state
number one thing about it no wife um
that's everybody's number one review you you could tell by the way that like our plan immediately like hypothetically made sense it's like seven answers on the board all that stuff um 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.
Ridiculous.
Number two, meals a day.
Three meals a day.
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.
All right, here's your chance.
Name something a man might say is actually an upside to being in jail.
Steve, we're going to go with street cred.
Good answer.
Good answer.
Too good.
The answer was too good.
Yeah, so we're down.
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
smartest, cleverest answer.
Yeah, this became clear with the next category.
You'd never want to see your mother wearing.
Oh, God, I hated this.
Song?
Whoa.
Good answer.
Exceptional answer.
But not number one.
I mean, I would assume just lingerie, right?
A Teddy is a wild thing to say.
But there it is.
There it is.
Also, Nighty, Nighty doesn't evoke sexy to me.
Nighty is like a little bit of a most John Legend answer of all time, though.
Like, of course, he would see it.
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 Wee, after she gets the answer right, look back at us being like, are we going to pass?
Oh, that's funny.
And then, of course, the choice is taken from our hands because John Legend
gets it right with Teddy.
But again, Katie, it's seven answers.
Yep.
And then, of course, they don't get all seven because getting all seven is statistically almost impossible, it turns out.
We got two strikes, we got to be careful.
Shame, team, can steal.
Sheer or see-through clothing, sheer or see-through clothing.
Good answer, Lana.
Thank you, thank you.
All right, here we go.
Name something sexy you'd never want to see your mother wearing.
Birthday suits.
Nothing.
Her birthday suit.
Bikini, bra, mini skirt, sexy maid costume.
What?
Stripper heels.
Cheerleader outfit.
Sexy maid, but not a schoolgirl.
Specific fetters.
Sixy your mom in a schoolgirl.
Hallelujah.
Don't be the maid.
We're down 141 points to zero.
Crazy.
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.
That's not really funny.
You can come back.
It's possible.
You got the Jim Volvano speech during Family Feud because you were down 141 to nothing.
Don't ever give up.
We did not believe in miracles.
We were contemplating increasingly that this was going to be just a series of viral humiliations.
Nobody more concerned about this, by the way,
than our dear friend Mina Collins.
Welcome back, Celebrity Family Feud.
The legend team got 141.
Kane team not on the board.
Give me Gin, give me Mina.
At this point, you feel like you're embarrassing your Asian brethren, right?
You feel like no handshake?
Oh, wow.
Nothing.
Cold.
Come back starts here.
Come back starts here.
Yeah.
Point value to double focus.
Top seven ounces on the board.
Again.
It's crazy.
What kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
A wooden spatula.
What?
All right now.
What?
All right now.
A wooden spatula.
And she goes, I don't care.
Get a splinter in it.
I don't care.
A wooden
Underrated lineman, Joe.
Get a splinter.
I'm going to go with
nothing.
Oven.
Hey.
Oh,
what are they going to do?
Mina unilaterally was like, we're not getting skunked like this.
We're receiving.
We're playing the right call.
The stage manager also bugged that.
The right call.
He didn't come out here to lay it up.
Exactly.
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 did this.
Wait a minute.
You're your third Sixers season that they tanked in.
I was like, guys,
come on.
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 fourth and short, and then someone.
would fail on fourth and short and people would yell at me, you idiot, you can't go for it.
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.
That is tough.
Billions,
I could feel the billions upon billions of people on the planet
pressuring me as this happens.
Come on, here we go.
Come on, Pablo, let's go, baby.
What kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
Steve.
Uh-huh.
I'm going to compare it to a blender.
A blender?
But I said it home.
Mixing it up.
He's putting it on you.
Big.
Big.
We should have known right after that that Pablo was destined for great things on this show.
Big.
He's putting it on you.
Great answer.
Did Steve Harvey just say that Pablo in the bedroom is putting it on you?
Because it's not a way I've ever looked at Pablo before.
Or blenders.
That is a LinkedIn endorsement now on my profile.
Steve Harvey.
He's putting it on you.
He puts it on you.
Amazing.
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.
Yeah, true.
Chris, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
My lovemaking is most similar to a potato masher.
My
specifics.
Good answer.
See, again,
to inside baseball.
I do love the way you do.
David, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
You got to get this one, dude.
Come on.
Be quick like a microwave oven.
Like a microwave oven.
On brand, too.
Plus 30.
Microwave.
The idea that Michelle Wee would be suffering this indignity, and I know her to be less competitive on that panel than Mina Kimes, who right now, like lava is spewing from her ears because she's embarrassing herself nationally and internationally.
She was
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 expect him to be.
She held her gun to his head.
She was like, you better get this right.
You gotta get this comma dude
slash motherfucker.
Also,
the tone of it was like, we gotta get this.
Like, he was increasingly aggro.
Yeah, yeah.
She was the audience yelling at him at home from right next to him that was supposed to be the supportive teammate.
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 the answers started coming in and we saw how dumb, they're dumb.
It's not elitist to 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
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 Homer Simpson do if he was being polled by this survey?
I don't think Michelle We necessarily approached it in the same way.
Michelle, we got two strikes.
The legend team can steal.
Air fryer.
And
flyer.
It don't really fry.
It just makes you think it's fried.
Air fryer.
And so, of course, Chrissy Teigen and John Legends.
They smell blood.
Chrissy darling, what kitchen gadget would you compare your love making to?
I'm going to go with Slow Cooker.
Slow cooker.
John Legend
literally crooning.
Did he unbutton another button during that answer?
Crazy.
That's four hours.
Let's cook something on slow cookers four hours.
That's insane.
I'd be tapping way out.
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 I'm watching Family Feud based on just how they answered that.
Like, she did not actually care about the actual ability of that answer to be right as much as it was to just remind people: hey,
I'm a model, and he's a crooner, and we bang quite a bit for quite a long time.
Everything you guys think is all true.
The flavor is being stewed into the meat
slowly throughout the day.
And you thought Pablo put it on you.
For the record here, the answers were in order from one to seven.
Blender slash mixer, spoon slash ladle, hot oven, cork opener, can opener,
baster, whisk slash beater.
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.
I like that Katie is the election denier on the show.
Like, this is.
Luckily, though, what we stole was 98 points.
Nice.
We're on the board.
We got no answers that actually deserved 98 points, but we got 98 points.
And now I have to walk up to the buzzer.
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?
Car.
A car.
What is stopping you from buying a car when you have a wife?
But Pablo, Pablo, real quick, so far, no one has actually won this game by doing it correctly, correct?
The only winners there are here are points given because the other people have failed.
Yes.
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.
Um, but before we do, um, 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.
Come on out the huddle because 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're going to play sudden death.
Because we don't have enough points to reach 300.
Hey, we did it!
We did it!
We're doing it!
So,
the pressure's all off, but let's just see anyway.
We ask 100 married men: if you woke up a single man tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd buy?
Motorcycle, Steve.
Good answer.
A motorcycle.
Not good enough.
These answers that you guys are giving are just clearly too good.
This was Mina's thought, which you can hear her think as we hear what the answers turned out to be.
They're so stupid.
They're so stupid.
Oh, no.
Mina is at that moment reading her own mentions from the future.
Oh, my God.
She so is.
She's doing the mental math of how this is going to go for her.
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 the Dave Chang Show describing Chris Ying's history of choking.
Listen, Chris Ying is well known to choke under pressure at ordering in a restaurant, okay?
He orders the most ridiculous things because 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 that.
I'll have two cop salads.
Yeah,
so that's why it's like, Chris is going to be great.
Just don't put him in a high-pressure situation.
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.
Right.
Unless.
Unless.
Unless.
Unless you suck so bad.
An unprecedented sudden death sub-300 buzz-off in which suddenly the fifth start in your rotation has to go up with everything on the line and do this.
Well, nobody reached 300 points, so we're going to play sudden death.
Give me a line.
Give me crazy.
Never seen that before.
In his most excited game show host voice, the most disappointed he's ever been.
I've seen it in real, but I've never seen it in Slovenia.
Oh my god.
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.
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, buzz in and say it.
Joker.
Camouflage.
Green.
Green.
Look at him.
Look at him.
Chris Ying 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 likes it.
I have 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 like,
they're trying to help toddlers win the game that they're bad at.
What noise does a doggy make?
They're like, the runtime of the show does not accommodate an extra round.
So let's make sure we get this one.
We won the game 98 to 285.
Okay.
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.
That question, by the way, was also charity, to be clear.
Hey, I need two of you.
I got David and Roberto.
Oh, David.
Hey, thanks.
We'll be right back.
Fast money, right up to this.
Gojo, explain what you saw.
Originally, you guys had selected you and Mina to represent the team up there.
Yes.
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.
Yes.
Dan, there is a take of this where me and Mina are standing on either side of Steve Harvey about to do fast money.
I would love to see her face.
I want to see that.
Pablo, you got to get that.
You've got to call the feud and you got to get, you've got to get them to give you the audio that hasn't been released.
You have to.
It gets better because me and Mina are locked in, obviously.
Chang.
Didn't want to do it.
Right.
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.
You guys should have argued back.
We're all so famous.
Okay.
Have you ever watched afternoon sports television at a sports bar?
We're very famous to a very niche group.
That's right.
This was the third take, by the way.
So at one point, Steve Harvey says, David, good to see you.
Because Chang was so discombobulated.
Yeah.
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.
Why?
Because he didn't know what was happening.
And doesn't want to do it.
Like, clearly doesn't
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.
Oh, no.
So
after the successful take three,
I get sent backstage.
So I go second.
So immediately we're like, I should probably
go last.
So there's not so much pressure on him.
He's like, pass out like
trying to help Chang.
They send me backstage and I have big headphones on.
Yeah, because they ask the same five questions and you have to give the, and you cannot give the same answer as each other.
And so I have never, of course, I've never seen the backstage of Family Feud.
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.
Huh.
Chin Blossoms?
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.
Huh.
And so he had that monitor at like a one 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 closes my eyes, as he is watching this, as hey, jealousy and 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 it's time to play game.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
20 seconds on the clock, please.
We ask 100 men.
You're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by.
What do you cover yourself with?
Branches.
On a scale of one to ten, how nice are your neighbors?
Two.
Name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
Burrito.
Name someone you should never call when you're drunk.
Uh, police.
Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.
Porter.
All right, let's go.
We asked 100 men.
You're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by.
What do you cover yourself with?
You said
some branches.
Survey said
on the scale of one to ten, how nice are your neighbors?
You said
two.
Survey said
name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
You said
the burrito.
Survey said
name someone you should never call when you're drunk.
You said,
oh yeah, the police.
Hello, it's me.
Survey said.
It's so bad.
Name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish.
You said,
quarter.
Survey said.
Just hello, it's me.
It's so funny.
Being roasted by some.
Don't call the cops and say you're hammered.
I thought it was a better answer than eight.
Gojo, what was the mood in the room?
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 are coming up
arguably the most high pressure environment in game shows where you are 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.
I walked out.
Okay.
Headphones off.
Hey, jealousy is over.
I walk out.
I immediately notice
a almost like depressive Mina Kimes.
Yeah, she was stone-faced.
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
puts you in like a puppy they put in a room.
And he's like, What?
Right.
There's a lot of sensory overload.
I may have started peeing down my leg.
Well, Pablo.
Yeah, Steve.
It's going to take a massive effort.
Okay.
He didn't do bad.
Okay.
Okay.
He got 54.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's all right.
Yeah.
Partner.
You got to do it, Pablo.
I believe in you, Pablo.
Now listen to me.
Listen to me.
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.
How high were you, actually?
I was residually stoned.
It was in my bloodstream.
He was clearly meant to say something else, but the way he said that in your face just went.
It was one of those things where I'm like, Does he know?
Does Steve Harvey know?
Does he know?
I'm pretty high right now.
Does Steve Harvey expect me to not look into the camera and break the fourth wall and acknowledge what was just said?
You seemed not that nervous to me there.
You were very like, okay, that's doable.
The little point.
That.
Confidence.
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.
As the drugs wearing off, opportunity has arrived.
Yeah.
I will say, I did
from there,
mostly blackouts.
I'm ready, Steve.
All right, let's remind everybody of David's answers.
25 seconds on the clock, please.
Let's go, man.
All right.
We ask 100 men, you're naked in the woods.
Someone walks by.
What do you cover yourself with?
A leaf.
On a scale of one to ten, how nice are your neighbors?
Four.
Name the greatest breakfast food ever created
name someone you should never call when you're drunk your mom name a coin you throw into a fountain to make a wish a penny we got a shot
so fast
so fast you that was Will Farrell in old school yes I truly like lost consciousness pure instinct 140
you ask 100 men you're naked in the woods someone walks by what do you cover yourself with you said
a leaf Survey said
right there, we knew we had a shot.
50 out the gate.
Yeah, it's a big leaf.
Leaf.
It's a big leaf.
It's a good specification.
It's a big leaf.
We need 94 points on a scale of one to ten.
How nice are your neighbors?
You said
about a four.
Survey said
the number one entry was 10.
10.
I'm from New York.
You like certain
name the greatest breakfast food ever created.
You said
bacon.
Survey said.
Number one answer 20.
What would Homer Simpson do?
What would Homer Simpson do?
We need 71.
Number one answer 23.
71.
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
was your ex.
Thank you, John Legends.
We need 37%.
Name a coin
going to a fountain to make a wish.
You said
the penny.
Yes.
Man of the people.
Survey said.
Oh, my God.
Wine.
Yes, it's so exciting.
It's still electric.
Oh, my God.
Pablo's little, like, what was that?
No, that was a Sea Walker.
That was a Sea Walk.
No, but before that, Pablo
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 adoring masses out there.
I am the greatest thing you have ever seen.
Who was it that compared you to Peter Weber?
Who do you think you are?
I am.
Yes.
I did not remember reacting like that, obviously.
Yeah.
When I watched it back, I was 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 weren't you on the ground for a little while?
So I collapsed onto the ground and started doing like the Homer Simpson spinning around on his back thing
Because I was just feeling all of the feelings I had never allowed myself to feel before
My feeling was I think this is what Tom Brady must feel like and that's what he's always doing spinning 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 Wow I wonder why.
Yeah, I feel like it wasn't
budgeted in the time of it.
Can we get it though?
Can we get, can we ask the feud people to get that for us?
We need the MENA footage, and then we also need you spinning on the ground like a potato bug.
The PTFO investigation is forthcoming.
Yes, 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 started to talk over.
Where were you going with the big leaf,
the banana leaf?
Where were you headed?
I think I was going towards
banana leaf, but I was going to
make it even more obviously a penis.
I think we got it.
When you said leaf, I think everybody went,
and so it's a good thing that you clarified.
It was the number one answer to the business.
A banana leaf is enormous, by the way.
We're going to put up a photo of a banana leaf.
Definitely do that.
Definitely do that.
I mean, it's just one of the biggest leaves.
Sure.
Yeah, definitely Google Pablo's banana leaf.
Yeah, I was like,
billions of Asian people want me to yell banana leaf just to clarify.
See, I would have said a bush and that would have gotten me in my own type of trouble you know
um
you did it Pablo yes yes you did it yes
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 it was like.
It made me think of great
game show contestants like Katie Nolan, of course.
Yes, of course.
The trilogy we chronicled
on PTFO at length in this way.
Here we go.
Here we go.
And also, and also, Mike Golick Jr., and also
Dan Levittar.
Have you seen this?
Have you seen this, Project?
I have, and I love this.
No.
We have with us here on our very stage here in Orlando, the hurricanes of Miami and Florida.
Auto racing now for both schools.
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, Dan.
Ford.
Henry Ford.
That is correct.
Let's meet the players.
I'm Dan Lebetard.
I'm a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in news editorialism and politics.
I'm from Marmar, Florida.
All right, Hurricanes, we're glad to have you.
The 1972 Summer Olympic Games took place in what city?
Oklahoma Camp.
Munich.
Munich is right.
Which Boston Red Sox pitcher threw the most shutouts in 1987?
Miami time.
Roger Connor.
Roger, Oklahoma.
All right.
And that wraps up our 102nd round, and Oklahoma is the champion.
Dan's two-handed buzzer technique.
I was just going to 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 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 i got correctly uh 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 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.
I'm going to go ahead and guess that this was 1985, 87, 87.
The late 1900s.
88.
Oh, God.
Yep.
This was in Orlando.
It was boardwalk in 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.
I loved how mean a times you were in not being able to hide your exasperation as you miss on the buzzer and just give this brief flash of anger before quelling all these feelings again.
I was too slow.
That's what kept happening to me.
It's why I tell you,
I'm not joking when I say it was legitimately thrilling to have you guys conquer those game shows.
Katie, the brain game show, and Pablo with just just an amazing comeback.
The relatability game show.
Me, me.
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.
Tremendous compliment.
Thanks, buddy.
What is the main color in camouflage?
Isn't that
Pablo went all the way from being dissed for going to Harvard to answering with the penny?
Yes.
I went all the way from being dissed to putting it on you.
Oh, God.
I wish I didn't make eye crazy if you did that.
He said diss.
He said diss.
With a D.
No.
Stop saying more things.
This has been Pablo Torre finds out a Metalark media production.
And I'll talk to you you next time.
