A quick warning, there are curse words that are un-beaped in today's episode of the show.

It went back to the night we got a drink together.
The question of, when did you know you wanted to get Ira into the studio and talk to him?
It was when I asked you about the last time you watched television.
Yeah, and at that time I was like, I'm not sure if I had watched it in months.
A big chunk of the interview was just about stuff I had never seen on TV and what TV shows I had seen going back decades.
And what was interesting to Pablo was that most of it did not match what he imagined I'd be watching.
Like, I told him I'd seen all of the Gilmore girls, all of the OC.
At one point I talked about how I liked the comedian Bert Kreischer, who,
if you don't know him, is a very funny, bro-y sort of comedian.
Why do you, how, okay, so just as a general stereotype.
Yeah.
You liking the dude who is mostly, in my view, known for being shirtless and like chugging beer.
That's not why people love Bert Kreischer.
He's funny and he tells stories.
There are other examples from sports.
We talked about how I'm barely on social media.
I've never really watched cable news.
All of it seemed to blow Pablo's mind.
