Joe Rogan Experience #1210 - Tom Papa

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   ... interesting how, how…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      ... interesting how, how promotions work.

   2. TPTom Papa0:02

      (laughs) Yeah. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      Here we go. Four, three, two, one. So, Tom Pop and I are sitting here.

   4. TPTom Papa0:10

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      And I say, "Do you s- did you see the fight on Saturday night?"

   6. TPTom Papa0:13

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      And he said, "The guy that got knocked down? Mental health guy?"

   8. TPTom Papa0:16

      The mental health guy?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      (laughs) No.

   10. TPTom Papa0:17

       The guy who got up for everyone with mental health? (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       Yeah. But he said, "No, I didn't see the fight." Like-

   12. TPTom Papa0:21

       "I only saw, (laughs) I only saw that."

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       ... this is how narratives work.

   14. TPTom Papa0:25

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       You know what I mean? Like, in this day and age especially-

   16. TPTom Papa0:28

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       ... there's way too much information out there, right?

   18. TPTom Papa0:31

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Like, there's no way you could see every television show or watch every sporting event-

   20. TPTom Papa0:35

       No.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       ... or, or know every scandal.

   22. TPTom Papa0:37

       (laughs) Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       So when something happens, you're like, "Oh, uh, the blurb, the, the, the little summary that I have absorbed..."

   24. TPTom Papa0:43

       Yeah. My, my one buddy watched it on Instagram. He posted a thing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       (laughs)

   26. TPTom Papa0:46

       And it was very heartfelt that he got up for all the (laughs) people with mental health.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       Yeah.

   28. TPTom Papa0:50

       And, uh, I read that and I feel like I experienced the whole thing. (laughs) But, you know, it's funny. I don't know if he won or lost. I know he got up.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       It was a draw.

   30. TPTom Papa0:57

       Oh, okay.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   He makes them all…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      anywhere. His cues are very expensive on the aftermarket too.

   2. TPTom Papa15:03

      He makes them all by hand? Like, that kind of thing?

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      He... Well, he designs them all and then he uses, um, computer-controlled machines, they're called CNC machines-

   4. TPTom Papa15:11

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      ... to put everything together and piece it so that everything's perfect.

   6. TPTom Papa15:14

      Wow.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:15

      Yeah, but they're all, like, his designs and very-

   8. TPTom Papa15:17

      Is that like 3D printing?

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      No. No.

   10. TPTom Papa15:19

       No?

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:19

       It's, um, it's... What it is is like you have a design and you put it into this computer and you, you put the spe-... I, I don't know 100% of the process, but-

   12. TPTom Papa15:29

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       ... you put your... the specifications, like how wide you want inlays to be and h-... and they make them exactly the same size and the points fit exactly the same way.

   14. TPTom Papa15:41

       Wow. Impressive.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Yeah. It's all super complicated stuff. But the point is, like, if you were a guy who wanted to buy a pool cue and you just, you know, went to a website-

   16. TPTom Papa15:52

       Right.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       ... you're, you're lost. You're lost like me trying to buy wine.

   18. TPTom Papa15:56

       In a wine shop.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       Yeah. Like, "I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at."

   20. TPTom Papa15:58

       (laughs) Right, exactly. Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       Yeah. It's weird.

   22. TPTom Papa16:00

       Yeah. This is good wine though. What is this?

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       It's very good. This is, uh, says Chateau Vigneaux.

   24. TPTom Papa16:07

       Ooh, I didn't know you spoke French.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:09

       I do. I do. Oui, oui. You see French... Paris is going crazy right now?

   26. TPTom Papa16:13

       Ah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:13

       They've been having these crazy riots.

   28. TPTom Papa16:15

       No. What's up?

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       Every time I think about visiting Paris, there's some new shit that goes down over there.

   30. TPTom Papa16:20

       I know. It kind of feels like a little, like a, like a jewel box that is about to explode (laughs) all the time.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah, your dog's not…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      but-

   2. TPTom Papa30:00

      Yeah, your dog's not like, "I wonder what my dad's doing now."

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      Yeah. He-

   4. TPTom Papa30:03

      "Why did he leave me?"

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      Yeah.

   6. TPTom Papa30:04

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      He's like, " (yawns) Maybe we're gonna go to an awesome house together in the woods." No, but he's got certain instincts, like, he lifts up his leg to piss on things.

   8. TPTom Papa30:12

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      You know, he smells things. Like, and, and he chases squirrels. Like, there's, there's things that are in ... He's a retriever, right? He's a golden retriever, so he brings things back. I mean, that's like-

   10. TPTom Papa30:20

       Right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       I had Pit Bulls before and th- they'll bring things back, but you gotta teach them.

   12. TPTom Papa30:25

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       They don't wanna bring things back, and they definitely don't wanna let go.

   14. TPTom Papa30:28

       Right.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       What they wanna do is play tug-of-war with shit. Like, but he lets things go.

   16. TPTom Papa30:31

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       And it's, like, natural for him.

   18. TPTom Papa30:32

       That soft mouth.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       Yes.

   20. TPTom Papa30:34

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       His very soft mouth.

   22. TPTom Papa30:34

       I have a black Lab-

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       Yeah.

   24. TPTom Papa30:35

       ... who does the same thing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       They hold things gently because they're used to retrieving ducks and, and-

   26. TPTom Papa30:39

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       ... animal ... And pheasants that people shoot. That's what they were raised for.

   28. TPTom Papa30:42

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       So he brings things back. Like, when I get him up in the morning, right?

   30. TPTom Papa30:45

       Uh-huh.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. TPTom Papa45:00

      and the first thing she wants to as- she asks when I come back is, "Who, who was there? Who did you see?"

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      Mm-hmm.

   3. TPTom Papa45:05

      And it's like, "Oh, I saw Steve Byrne. I saw the, who," whatever, and she's like, "Oh." She wants-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Right.

   5. TPTom Papa45:09

      ... because she doesn't, she's not part of the community. Like, she is, but she doesn't get to visit.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      Yeah, yeah.

   7. TPTom Papa45:13

      So it's like she misses that sense. And we're very lucky-

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:16

      Right.

   9. TPTom Papa45:16

      ... to have that-

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:17

       Yeah.

   11. TPTom Papa45:17

       ... as grown men, to be able to like walk into this very fun community that you're a part of.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       Yeah, man.

   13. TPTom Papa45:23

       It gives you meaning. It gives you a-

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Yeah.

   15. TPTom Papa45:24

       ... sense of, of belonging. And that's what a lot of people don't have nowadays. It's, it's very, uh, a- a- according to David Brooks, it's the reason for everybody's malaise.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       I think there's certainly something to that. I think the, it's weird living in places where you don't know your neighbors, you know? I mean, that's-

   17. TPTom Papa45:40

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:40

       ... that's fucking weird. I mean...

   19. TPTom Papa45:42

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Uh, Norton was telling me that he lives in this big apartment building in New York City and, um, I think he's, uh... I mean, there's gotta be hundreds of people living in that building.

   21. TPTom Papa45:51

       Oh, easy.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       It's a huge, huge building.

   23. TPTom Papa45:52

       Yeah, I know where he is.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       He doesn't know anybody.

   25. TPTom Papa45:54

       Weird.

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       He says no, doesn't know anybody. He says he tries to say hi to his neighbor and they look at him like he's a fucking murderer. (laughs)

   27. TPTom Papa46:00

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:00

       Like, like, nobody's friendly to anybody.

   29. TPTom Papa46:02

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       It's like-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:17

   Oh my God. …

   1. GUGuest1:00:01

   2. TPTom Papa1:00:01

      Oh my God.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      Woo, that's so spiritual.

   4. GUGuest1:00:02

      70 years old, he looks pretty good for a 70-year-old. (laughs)

   5. TPTom Papa1:00:07

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      That's from selling all that loads.

   7. TPTom Papa1:00:10

      Oh my God.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      It don't smell good.

   9. GUGuest1:00:12

      Don't last very long.

   10. TPTom Papa1:00:13

       Yeah. (laughs)

   11. GUGuest1:00:13

       Got to ... They-

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       They get gross.

   13. GUGuest1:00:14

       ... got to dry up real quick.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       Yeah, they get gross.Do you know, uh-

   15. TPTom Papa1:00:17

       Oh, man. Oh, man.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       Yeah. So that spiritual thing, like the whole-

   17. TPTom Papa1:00:22

       But that's, but that's ... Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

       Yeah. It's like, uh, the problem with it is you're still an animal, right? So if the animal-

   19. TPTom Papa1:00:30

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       It's like we were talking about before, where the wolves go on these surplus kills-

   21. TPTom Papa1:00:34

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       ... and they kill all these elk and they don't eat 'em.

   23. TPTom Papa1:00:36

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       Like, in Wyoming, there was a recent issue, there was 18 elk that were killed by wolves in these surplus killings. It was a real tragedy.

   25. TPTom Papa1:00:43

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

       I mean, these wolves can't help themselves. It's just their instincts. So his instincts as a man, he has instincts to procreate, right? He has instincts to respond to women that are sexually attracted to him. And he teaches these classes in front of hundreds and thousands of people, and everybody loves and adores him. So in his fucked up, twisted brain-

   27. TPTom Papa1:01:03

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

       ... everything that he said there made sense.

   29. TPTom Papa1:01:05

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:05

       My favorite part of it was that woman, Andrea, when she-
