Pablo Torre Finds Out

Follow Pablo down the rabbit hole, beyond the game — every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday — on his Pulitzer-winning video podcast, part of The Athletic Podcast Network.

You’ll get a deep-dive “talkumentary” episode, reported by Pablo and Curiosity Correspondents like Emmy-winning comedian Wyatt Cenac and Oscar-winning director Ezra Edelman, answering urgent questions such as: Are you smarter than an NFL quarterback? Does Giannis intentionally miss free throws to win free chicken for fans? And why does the FBI director play so much hockey? This storytelling has been honored by the Pulitzer Prizes, the Emmy Awards, the Peabody Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Awards. (Journalism!)

Plus: Pablo hangs out with handpicked figures from sports, culture and politics like Sue Bird, Action Bronson and U.S. Senators… plays Share & Tell with friends like Domonique Foxworth, Mina Kimes, Katie Nolan and Dan Le Batard (aka his boss)… and unveils the secrets of capitalism with David Samson and John Skipper on The Sporting Class.

We Helped Scatter the Ashes of a Die-Hard Fan (PTFO Vault) Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

We are living in the era of Peak Cremation, and fans have turned to our true American cathedral as a final resting place: the sports arena. PTFO death correspondent David Fleming reports on a cottage industry for die-hards in the afterlife — from team-branded urns and exploding golf balls to franchises that want the on-field ceremonies gone (and forgotten). And then, of course, we help a woman named Edna spread her husband's ashes... while riding a convertible, on a racetrack, flooring it into eternity.

Behind the Scenes of the Yankee Wife-Swap Scandal (PTFO Vault) Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

Long before the viral Coldplay concert, there was another — and even wilder — affair caught on camera. Two pitchers for the Yankees agreed to the wildest trade in sports history: They switched wives. And children. And furniture. And pets. David Mandel laments his big-screen adaptation that never was... even though the ultimate passion project could have starred Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Vox's Unexplainable Presents: Jumping the Gun Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

Sprinter TyNia Gaither was disqualified for a false start... after the gun went off... for running faster than humanly possible. Was that even true? Do sporting officials really understand how the body works? Or do we simply not understand how to define — and record — a race?

The Billionaire, the Billboards and the Star of the Worst Ad in Sports History (PTFO Vault) Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

The viral commercial has a mysteriously simple message: sportsmanship. The child actor has gotten dunked on by NBA Twitter for more than a decade. Correspondent Zach Schwartz untangles a web from Madison Avenue to the Supreme Court to Damian Lillard, in search of a boy named Alex — and the meaning of perseverance.

Share & Pardon & Tell with Michael Wilbon and Dan Le Batard Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

Can rockstar sportswriters be friends with superstar athletes? How do you measure a good episode of sports TV? And what's so great about being an old dad? Plus: playing the human jukebox, brokering the Jordan-Barkley peace, writing about Holyfield's ear on deadline... and the word "podcast" as a racial slur.

PTFO Exclusive: We Sparked an NFL Union Crisis. Here's the Sequel. Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

If you thought Pablo and Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio set the NFL world on fire last month, wait until you get a load of the "diabolical genius" behind the cover-up... to the cover-up... to the cover-up: Fake injuries, encouraged by one union boss, only to be litigated by the league. Private-equity side hustles, cashed in on by another, only to be selectively edited on social media. And smoke. Lots of smoke.

Moose, the Money and a Garbage-Time God: A PTFO Investigation Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

How did a seemingly random super-fan on NBA Twitter know about a federal gambling investigation... before the NBA did? And how does he connect to Carmelo Anthony, Nicolas Cage, Larsa Pippen, Jontay Porter, a legless woman, Malik Beasley, "Madea's Family Reunion," meme coins, and perhaps the greatest play in modern Knicks history? Correspondents Tom Haberstroh and Amin Elhassan join Pablo to run the numbers, grind the tape, and uncover a secret world of penthouse poker games and deleted accounts.

Who the F*** Is Wayne Federman? Jul 10, 2025

Show notes

He is literally That Guy from "Knocked Up," "Step Brothers," "The Larry Sanders Show" and, of course, "Curb Your Enthusiasm." But he's also a professor of stand-up, and his multiverse contains multitudes: Larry David's breaking point (and unaired film for Apple); Gary Shandling's secret pickup basketball game (with Bob Costas and David Duchovny); and the cinematic life (and death) of Pistol Pete Maravich. He may never have become the Newman of "Curb," but stay close to The Theory of Federman, and you might just learn the meaning of genius.

World War Tree: The Agony and the Ecstasy of Competitive Bird-Watching Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

Parties. Orgasms. Adventure. Transcendence. Is there a sexier "sport" on planet Earth than birding? Correspondent Mickey Duzyj introduces Pablo to a nemesis, to the GOAT, to Jesus... and to David Attenborough (sorta).
