Joe Rogan Experience #1473 - Tom Papa

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (sighs) Okay. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      (sighs) Okay.

   2. TPTom Papa0:02

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:02

      So, what were you just saying, Jamie?

   4. TPTom Papa0:04

      (sighs) We have LA's stay-at-home order will likely remain in place for the next three months unless there is a, quote, "dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand," officials say.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      How are people supposed to feed themselves? Like, r- really, realistically, how do they expect this to work?

   6. TPTom Papa0:24

      You go out to work, and then you skitter back home.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      That's not what they're saying. That's not what stay at home means. Stay at home means you don't go to work.

   8. TPTom Papa0:33

      Yeah. But at the same time, they're opening up businesses, right?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:36

      They're opening up very few businesses, and you have to get curbside for retail.

   10. TPTom Papa0:40

       I heard our governor in the state of California say that 70% of businesses are open now.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       Well, if that's the case, even if that was the case, let's say 30% of people are out of work.

   12. TPTom Papa0:53

       Yes.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       That's catastrophic.

   14. TPTom Papa0:55

       Yeah., It's a lot.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       And I don't think it's true. I don't- I don't think 70% of the places are open.

   16. TPTom Papa1:00

       That's what he said, 70% of the businesses.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Well, even if they're open, they're not open at 100% capacity.

   18. TPTom Papa1:05

       Or they're probably working from home, like offices, he's probably counting offices.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Hmm.

   20. TPTom Papa1:09

       And those people are still working and getting paid, but they're doing it from home.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       So, this is just LA?

   22. TPTom Papa1:15

       LA County. Just LA, yeah, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:16

       So, that means, uh, like, Comedy Store has no chance?

   24. TPTom Papa1:20

       (clicks tongue) Yeah, I believe it's for the county, yeah, so till July.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       This is the same fuck-up who thought it would be a good idea to have people rat on people for money.

   26. TPTom Papa1:29

       Technically, this was not coming from the mayor. This is coming from a health... someone in the Health Department talking at a supervisor meeting or something.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:36

       (sighs)

   28. TPTom Papa1:36

       So, it was a suggestion, it wasn't a...

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:38

       This is not-

   30. TPTom Papa1:39

       Not an official order, but it's how it was coming, yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Right. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      there, there has to be some education on how to strengthen your immune system.

   2. TPTom Papa15:04

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      There are experts that understand. I mean, I'm having Dr. Rhonda Patrick on tomorrow-

   4. TPTom Papa15:09

      Oh, yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      ... to talk about this. I think it's-

   6. TPTom Papa15:10

      Oh, that's great.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      ... very important to talk about supplementation.

   8. TPTom Papa15:14

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      To talk about, uh, hermetic effects of heat shock proteins, cold shock proteins, what we can do as far as mitigating, you know, the, the, the stresses that you get from not having enough sleep and all, meditation, all sorts of different things-

   10. TPTom Papa15:27

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       ... that we, we n- we need to teach people-

   12. TPTom Papa15:28

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       ... how, how to strengthen your immune system.

   14. TPTom Papa15:30

       Okay.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       How to keep your body healthy.

   16. TPTom Papa15:32

       I'm with you 100%. I'm, I'm doing all that stuff, learning about it as, uh, I go through life, and I meditate, I take vitamins, I exercise, all that.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Eat a lot of bread?

   18. TPTom Papa15:41

       Eat a lot of bread. Oh, this bread is so much better than-

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:44

       I bet it's good. It's better than the last one?

   20. TPTom Papa15:45

       It might be the best ones I've ever made.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       Shut the fuck ... How is it possible?

   22. TPTom Papa15:48

       I swear to God.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       The last one was perfection.

   24. TPTom Papa15:49

       I'm home. I'm just keep getting better. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       (laughs) How do you get better at bread?

   26. TPTom Papa15:53

       How you get better. There's so many things that go into it every day. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       I don't understand how you get better at bread.

   28. TPTom Papa15:57

       I'm telling you, wait till you see it.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       Well, I'm glad you're around, man.

   30. TPTom Papa16:01

       (laughs)
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) Yeah. How many…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

   2. TPTom Papa30:00

      (laughs) Yeah. How many times?

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      Oh, who knows? Broke it first when I was five. Fell down a flight of stairs when I was five.

   4. TPTom Papa30:05

      Ow.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      Yeah.

   6. TPTom Papa30:06

      Geez.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      I've had broken noses ever since then.

   8. TPTom Papa30:10

      (laughs) It's like-

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      Like, no bullshit. Like, seriously.

   10. TPTom Papa30:12

       It's crazy. I've never broken my nose.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:14

       Ever?

   12. TPTom Papa30:14

       Not once.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:14

       We can fix that.

   14. TPTom Papa30:15

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       Jamie can headbutt you.

   16. TPTom Papa30:18

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       We can film a great TikTok video.

   18. TPTom Papa30:20

       Yeah, that'd be great.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       Yeah.

   20. TPTom Papa30:22

       We'll go viral. (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       Well, have you broken anything?

   22. TPTom Papa30:25

       Uh, the only thing I broke was, uh, I broke a collarbone, a, a rib.... once when I was surfing in a (laughs) we're learning to surf and it went right into my gut. And then, uh, I broke the top of my foot, one of the bones on the top-

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       Mm.

   24. TPTom Papa30:38

       ... of my foot.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       Those are weird, right? 'Cause you can't do shit about them.

   26. TPTom Papa30:40

       Playing football. Can't do anything-

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Yeah, I broke that one too.

   28. TPTom Papa30:42

       ... except stop you from playing.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       And you just walk fucked up for-

   30. TPTom Papa30:45

       (laughs)
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   I don't know if…

   1. RBRobin Black45:00

      elegant nature of life on Earth. We feel the mighty grip of existence itself.

   2. TPTom Papa45:04

      I don't know if I feel good that murder hornets can get schooled or that praying mantises exist. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      I love it. I love both things. I love it. We need to just make more mantises and release them on these fucking pussy ass murder hornets.

   4. TPTom Papa45:15

      Yeah. (laughs) Yeah. Holy cow.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      Dude, praying mantis are-

   6. TPTom Papa45:18

      They would end quick.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:19

      ... Goddamn terrifying.

   8. TPTom Papa45:20

      God.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      They get everything.

   10. TPTom Papa45:21

       Damn.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       They get everything. You ever seen them get hummingbirds?

   12. TPTom Papa45:23

       He didn't even think for a second, he just got it.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:25

       Yeah, he's like, "Bitch, what?"

   14. TPTom Papa45:27

       Yeah, it was one move.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       They have so much leverage in those claws, those, those qua- weird fucking shaped things.

   16. TPTom Papa45:33

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Those weird shaped things are just designed to hold shit so they can cut it in half.

   18. TPTom Papa45:38

       And eat its head.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       Bro.

   20. TPTom Papa45:39

       It eats hummingbirds?

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:40

       They eat hummingbirds.

   22. TPTom Papa45:41

       Holy shit balls.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Here, watch this. So this hummingbird-

   24. TPTom Papa45:43

       So disturbing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       ... just like doesn't know what that is, it just thinks-

   26. TPTom Papa45:46

       "Oh, it's on the, it's on the bird feeder."

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       ... "Oh, um, it's bigger than you and I'm just hanging out and this thing's on the bird feeder, but I'm sure it's nothing. Nothing to worry about." And watch how it moves. Look, watch how quick it is.

   28. TPTom Papa45:55

       Look at the praying mantis just-

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       Yeah.

   30. TPTom Papa45:57

       ... arms cocked.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:05:48

   Let's think about like…

   1. TPTom Papa1:00:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      Let's think about like Segura and Alonzo.

   3. TPTom Papa1:00:02

      Uh-huh.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      Like if you and ... Okay, you and I. If we were talking with no cam- camera-

   5. TPTom Papa1:00:06

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      ... we would talk just like this.

   7. TPTom Papa1:00:08

      (laughs) No different.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      We would be talking shit. We would be laughing.

   9. TPTom Papa1:00:11

      Absolutely no different.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

       When-

   11. TPTom Papa1:00:12

       We're not brooding.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

       I'm not a brooding guy.

   13. TPTom Papa1:00:15

       No.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       And I know there are a few, but I think they're the minority.

   15. TPTom Papa1:00:20

       I think so too. I'm just ... I'm thinking about the guys th- that I hang with in New York, like Colin and Norton and Robert Kelly and those guys. And they're not ... They're a little darker, but I would say what people think is that everyone's brooding and dark, but I mean they're the most joyful people. When I hang with them, it's nothing but laughs and-

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       Yes.

   17. TPTom Papa1:00:39

       They're complicated though.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       Yeah. Well, Norton's very complicated. Yeah.

   19. TPTom Papa1:00:42

       Comedians are com- comedians are complicated.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       Yeah.

   21. TPTom Papa1:00:43

       Like, right? They're busy heads.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       Well, Norton is complicated and Norton also spent a long time on The Opie & Anthony Show.

   23. TPTom Papa1:00:51

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       Which was the whole thing about that show was being a wreck. (laughs)

   25. TPTom Papa1:00:56

       (laughs) That was the hook.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:56

       It was talking shit. It was, it was a, a shit talking fest. I mean-

   27. TPTom Papa1:01:00

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       People said the most preposterous things-

   29. TPTom Papa1:01:03

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

       ... just to get a reaction.
