   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) And we're up. Oh, hi Tom Papa.

   4. TPTom Papa0:15

      Oh, good to see you, Joe.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      You are the man that brings the bags.

   6. TPTom Papa0:19

      Ah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      You bring, you bring the brown paper bags, and-

   8. TPTom Papa0:22

      Joe, I was so happy to bring you bread that I was in Colorado doing shows, flew home, had my wife feed the starter. I shoulda come right here. But I w-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:34

      Feed the starter?

   10. TPTom Papa0:35

       But I wouldn't have (laughs) been able to bring you bread. So I flew home... (laughs) This is so sick. I flew home just for 24 hours so I could bake the bread and then, uh, get back on a plane and bring it to you.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       Wow.

   12. TPTom Papa0:46

       But I feel like you haven't had it in so long.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       You're the only one I'll eat bread from.

   14. TPTom Papa0:50

       I know.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       Uh, no, I'm not, I'm lying. I had a piece of bread-

   16. TPTom Papa0:54

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       ... this, uh, Saturday after the fights. I did have a piece of bread with butter.

   18. TPTom Papa0:58

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       It was pretty damn good.

   20. TPTom Papa1:00

       Well, I, uh, I'm happy to do it. And I've, I made a, I made one regular loaf, I'm not sure which is which. But one regular loaf and one olive loaf.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Ooh.

   22. TPTom Papa1:10

       Which has green and kalamata olives, lemon zest, and herbs de Provence. And I hadn't made that in probably a year, and that, the house was just filled with the smell of the bread.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       Mm.

   24. TPTom Papa1:24

       It was so great. And then (laughs) flying here, the only thing in my carry-on was bread.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:30

       Wow.

   26. TPTom Papa1:30

       I looked, 'cause it baked yesterday. Here, I'll let you open it with your hands.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:34

       Oh my goodness.

   28. TPTom Papa1:35

       And, uh, yeah, if-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:37

       It's so dense.

   30. TPTom Papa1:38

       If Jamie, if Jamie could get a piece of it, he would probably be grateful.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   I don't know. …

   1. TPTom Papa15:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      I don't know.

   3. TPTom Papa15:00

      It depends the degree, right? It just depends. You just have the, have that thing of just, you just gotta keep on getting on, you know? I remember my grandparents, who, like, went through all of the original troubles. They just always had the mentality of like, "Yeah, big deal. I know, it's l- life is hard. So you want a tuna sandwich? What's going on?" (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      Mm-hmm. People that went through The Depression, yeah.

   5. TPTom Papa15:21

      The Depression and the First and the Second World War, and-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Mm-hmm.

   7. TPTom Papa15:24

      ... you know, you, you just kinda muddle through. You just ... It all comes down to just doing your little task and going forward and k- trying to stay positive. It's like in the doing, uh, like, uh, the small, of the little doing keeps you focused rather than the big overwhelming.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:37

      Well, being able to see, you know, big picture. There's a funny meme that I saw online that Sam Tripley posted on his Instagram. Find that. It's, uh, it shows the galaxy-

   9. TPTom Papa15:48

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       ... and the, the scape of the galaxy, and then it points to an arrow. And then you are here-

   11. TPTom Papa15:53

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       ... crying in the shower on the way to work.

   13. TPTom Papa15:55

       (laughs) Right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       (laughs) In the car in the shower before work.

   15. TPTom Papa15:58

       Right. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       That's it right there. (laughs)

   17. TPTom Papa16:01

       You are here crying-

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       It's just like-

   19. TPTom Papa16:02

       ... in the shower before work. (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       Just wake the fuck up.

   21. TPTom Papa16:04

       Right, exactly. (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       How great is that meme?

   23. TPTom Papa16:06

       That's amazing.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       I love the internet. The fact that these memes exist-

   25. TPTom Papa16:10

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:10

       ... it's a totally new kind of comedy. What it says, "We are the universe experience itself having an existential crisis," Carl Sagan.

   27. TPTom Papa16:18

       It, it is great.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:19

       Yeah.

   29. TPTom Papa16:19

       Yeah. Perspective, perspective, that's the biggest thing.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       It's hard. Well, it's-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Right. …

   1. TPTom Papa30:00

      nukes. It's like, okay, so you can beat him in all these different ways.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      Right.

   3. TPTom Papa30:05

      Like you're saying the soldiers or this country turns on him. Like, or he gets just militarily defeated. But he has this thing at the back of it, like he has this horrible weapons, like, as his... You know, like, he's got that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      Right.

   5. TPTom Papa30:19

      So e- like, if you break him and, and take him all the way to the end, he still has that. That's the most terrifying...

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:27

      So it says the distance from Scholz, um, and i- he refused to take a Russian administered COVID-19 PCR test. That's why, so they put him at the end of the table.

   7. TPTom Papa30:38

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:39

      But he has a, the fact that he has a crazy table like that.

   9. TPTom Papa30:41

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       It says Putin is living in a strict health bubble, and the Kremlin confirmed the extreme distance is to protect Putin. Wow. Well, I guess when you poisoned a few folks you get a little nervous about it.

   11. TPTom Papa30:52

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       I mean, ima- I mean, imagine, like, what he's done to his detractors-

   13. TPTom Papa30:56

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       ... then imagine how nerve-racking it must be to be him and worry about, like, retaliation and-

   15. TPTom Papa31:01

       Yeah.... yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       You know? Like, he poisons doorknobs and shit.

   17. TPTom Papa31:04

       (laughs) Right.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:04

       When the people touch doorknobs and they get sick and die.

   19. TPTom Papa31:07

       In different countries.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       Yeah. Did that in, like ... Was it England, was it?

   21. TPTom Papa31:10

       Uh, yeah, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       Yeah.

   23. TPTom Papa31:12

       God.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:13

       So the, the ... What's the process for him launching nuclear weapons? That's what I wanna know.

   25. TPTom Papa31:20

       Really.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Like, does he have to clear it with his generals? 'Cause he-

   27. TPTom Papa31:22

       I hope he has to talk to someone. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       'Cause he's the top dog, right?

   29. TPTom Papa31:25

       Do we know? Yeah.

   30. NANarrator31:25

       Do they share that? With the world?
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   That's the biggest victory…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      I don't know how those guys are alive.

   2. TPTom Papa45:01

      That's the biggest victory for me. I just love that dumb fun comedy-

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      Yeah.

   4. TPTom Papa45:06

      ... it, went back to making some money after the pandemic. That's, that's good news for all of us.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      Dude, you know what I watched, um, yesterday? I watched a, a series of Buster Keaton stunts.

   6. TPTom Papa45:16

      Oh, man. He, he was the real deal.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:19

      Do you... I mean, I know I've seen these before.

   8. TPTom Papa45:21

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:21

      So I shouldn't have been so shocked. But I, I went down a rabbit hole. And I watched quite a few of them.

   10. TPTom Papa45:26

       YouTubes?

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:27

       Yeah. There's a gang of them. One of them, he goes out this window.

   12. TPTom Papa45:33

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       He... No, he, he jumps from one rooftop to another roof. Grabs on to the lip of the roof, and slips.

   14. TPTom Papa45:40

       Uh-huh.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:40

       And falls, and go... Watch this. Now, this isn't... This is not CGI.

   16. TPTom Papa45:45

       Uh-huh.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       So he's standing there, he makes the leap, he catches that, falls through those things-

   18. TPTom Papa45:50

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:50

       ... and then catches that bar.

   20. TPTom Papa45:52

       Wait a minute.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       And then goes under like that. These are real, man.

   22. TPTom Papa45:55

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       And look at this.

   24. TPTom Papa45:57

       That's amazing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       I mean-

   26. TPTom Papa46:00

       Wow.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       I don't... How do you do that?

   28. TPTom Papa46:03

       How did he do it?

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       There's no stuntmen.

   30. TPTom Papa46:04

       How did he... Yeah, how did he do it?
5. 1:00:00 – 1:09:19

   Oh, right. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      Because there's a special type of steak they cook in Florentine, they call it-

   2. TPTom Papa1:00:03

      Oh, right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      ... bisteca Florentine.

   4. TPTom Papa1:00:05

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      And they, they're, they do the same kind of thing as that. It's like, you're cooking over live fire-

   6. TPTom Papa1:00:11

      Right.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      ... and the, the smells and the embers and they're, I don't know what they're saying, 'cause they're all talking in Italian.

   8. TPTom Papa1:00:17

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

      They're like, " (Italian) " They're all getting into it.

   10. TPTom Papa1:00:20

       I have the same thing watching guys making, uh, carbonara.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

       Ah, yes.

   12. TPTom Papa1:00:23

       With, it's guanciale-

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       Yes.

   14. TPTom Papa1:00:25

       ... and the egg and the, and the cheese-

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       The bacon.

   16. TPTom Papa1:00:27

       ... and the, and, uh, yeah, Matteo Lane turned me onto the, uh, these carbonara guys, and the same thing, all in Italian-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       Yeah.

   18. TPTom Papa1:00:33

       Don't understand it, but you're just watching them.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       It's better sometimes when you don't understand what they're saying.

   20. TPTom Papa1:00:37

       Yeah, it is. You're right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       Yeah. Especially something as simple as cooking steak over fire.

   22. TPTom Papa1:00:41

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

       'Cause he's got, and you can, you know, have the closed captions on and everything and you can read what they're saying, but there's something about watching-

   24. TPTom Papa1:00:48

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       ... 'cause it's like so primal watching people cook meat over fire.

   26. TPTom Papa1:00:53

       What is the, what's your char method? Like, how do you get the outside, like, I can, I have to throw it on the, I have a gas grill, first of all. Is that gonna, will I ever get char?

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:02

       Well, the best way to do it if you have a gas grill, grill, honestly-

   28. TPTom Papa1:01:07

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

       ... is you do it two ways. You get the, you start it off slowly, like, you put it low.

   30. TPTom Papa1:01:13

       Mm-hmm.
