Pablo Torre Finds Out
The Legend of The Paul Finebaum Show: Behind the Scenes in "Scrooge City"
Thu, 19 Dec 2024
If you aren't familiar with the Americans who love calling into The Paul Finebaum Show, you're in for a holiday treat. Because during this bowl season — Alabama's first without Nick Saban — no radio show has been more vital in its misery. Or more of a portal into the universe of college football in the South. (As Paul himself says: "We found this audience before Donald Trump did.") We're talking poisoned trees, verified heart attacks, and the hidden backstory of one legendary caller... who trusted us to unveil his haunting past. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: What is the significance of The Paul Feinbaum Show?
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Kennt ihr auch diesen einen Freund, der morgens einfach so ruckzuck aus dem Bett und danach aus dem Grinsen gar nicht mehr rauskommt? Der sogar noch vor dem ersten Kaffee unverschämt gut gelaunt ist und mit der Morgensonne um die Wette strahlt? Furchtbar. Ekelhaft.
Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.
This is surreal though. The setup we have right now, I do feel like a caller on your show, which is... Well, you're a FaceTime caller. Yeah, I'm a first time long time. That is also true. I was thinking about how to explain you and your show to people in my life who don't already know the legend of your show, so to speak.
And I realized that it's hard because I have to explain that I spend time with Paul Feinbaum early in the morning on MSNBC quite a bit.
CSPN's Paul Feinbaum, thank you so much. Good luck today. It's going to be rough. Pablo, so last night...
And then, Paul, you go off and you do a show that I would dare say is not exactly the same audience.
You're jealous? That's the bottom line. You're jealous. And Bama's coming back. Bama has not lost. The dynasty is not over. Do you hear me, counter? Bama's dynasty has just begun. Kiss my butt. Roll tide. Roll tide.

Chapter 2: Who is Legend and why is he important?
Und natürlich, in meinem Geist, ging ich sofort zu, natürlich, Legends eigenen Vergangenheit.
Well, I knew there was a story behind Legend. Legend was part of a group called Sons of Sabin. Sounds like one of those groups in New York that go around and keep the law.
That's right.
So we had lunch and I said, Legend, what's the deal? I know you've alluded to your past. And he looked at me and said, there's nothing to run away from. He said, I've been to prison. I said, okay. couldn't really counter that by saying, well, so have I. I said, what were you in for? He said, murder.
Auf dem Papier ist es gruselig, richtig? Ich meine, was wir mit Legend reden, ist eine Geschichte von ihm, als er 17 Jahre alt war. Es ist in Winston County, in Northwest Alabama. Der Argument mit seinem Cousin über eine Frau, glaube ich, hat er auch erwähnt.
Wir waren distante Cousins, weißt du? Wir wuchsen in einer kleinen Stadt, wo es nur 30 Leute in der ganzen Stadt gab. Wir wuchsen alle unsere Leben herum. Und dann, als wir um 17 Jahre alt waren, war ich bereits tief in den Drogen. Und so, als wir zu diesem Alter kamen, kamen wir in einen Kampf über eine junge Frau.
Und es eskalierte von der Kampf über die junge Frau bis zu dem Ereignis, das geschah.
And he goes to his father's gun cabinet. His dad's out. His dad apparently working in the coal mine. It's a .22 rifle. And he takes his cousin out to the woods. And he shoots Randy Barton, also 17, twice in the back of the head.
When I was 17 years old, I took a young man's life, another 17-year-old young man. It was an act of a coward. Anybody that takes a gun and takes a life is committing an act of cowardice. You know, God gave you a brain and we ought to be able to use it. I killed a man, destroyed his life. I threw my life away as a young man. I destroyed many families associated. It was a horrible, horrible thing.
