Joe Rogan Experience #1333 - Tom Papa

you definitely shouldn't make those noises to start off a podcast tom papa that
what are you
doing you're freaking people out do you know what what is it called asmr do you
know what that is
yeah like when you like people like certain sounds yeah they find them soothing
i don't think that's
one of them this is what i use to drive my kids crazy i say it's mac and it's a
spoon in mac and
cheese oh my god i thought my dad was funny professionally this is ridiculous
they probably
think they're gonna starve to death like this is crazy my younger my younger
one who's like
comedian funny this is her things this is she so she doesn't care about parents
or what we're doing
or she's just out for herself whenever i make a joke around the house she that
i think is funny
she just goes huh jokes how old is she 14. that's hilarious do you think she'll
be a comic yeah she
yeah she really be wow she definitely could be you have a healthy household it
is healthy that
doesn't seem like a good recipe for comedy uh right yeah well you know it takes
all kinds it does take
all kinds you know have you met anybody that came from a good childhood that's
really funny me you yeah
really i'm pretty funny you're very funny but you came from no problems at all
i think every kid did
you move around a lot uh i moved once one town over and it traumatized me in
third grade third grade
yeah i still can't i'm still not over it but i think that everybody has i think
i think as a child
even if it's not real heavy stuff it feels heavy to you you know what i mean
like my father was super
strict and like yeah you know spanked us and stuff and i was like this nervous
oh you know what i mean
so i think you can grow up pretty normal and be pretty funny you know it's like
a there's a line
with kids it's like you don't want to be mad at them but you can't let them get
away with too much
yeah so you have to go hey hey seriously stop screaming at me stop this yeah
like you can't
do this like because every now and then they'll they'll test totally because
they fight amongst
each other like i have daughters that are two years apart they'll fight amongst
each other that's what
i every now and then they'll turn it on you and you're like hey hey hey yeah
hey i didn't touch your
toys i'm not wearing your pants yeah i'm the good guy no it is it is a weird
thing especially when you
know how you were as a kid oh yeah and you know we've got daughters and i'm
probably they're
probably similar that where they're not as nutso as we were when we were little
but you still have
to bring the hammer down even though you think it's kind of funny or you think
it's not that big a deal
you have to lay down the law even if you don't feel it you have to enforce some
guidelines and then
you have to communicate about why those guidelines exist yeah what i didn't get
enough of i think when
i was a kid is communication about why those guidelines exist because in the
moment the kids
not going to internalize it they're going to be mad i wanted to do this and i
wanted to do that and
they just have it in their head i want to play one more game why can't i just
play one more game
they'll just get freaked out because what we heard was because i said so yes
exactly there was no reason
there was nothing behind it just go to bed why at seven o'clock because i said
so all right yeah we
don't put parameters on play though like as much we put parameters on you can
only have a certain
amount of television time certain amount of video game time but but as far as
like play play like doing
stuff like playing in the pool or doing others like i don't feel like there's
any you could play in
the pool all day all day yeah i'm happy for it isn't that it's interesting
right oh yeah no completely
yeah because it's and it's probably they're learning more from that than
anything else that they would
be right but it's purely play right all play is not considered equal like play
when you're sedentary in
front of a video screen and you're right playing some silly video game right
and you're just sitting
there and you just your brain up to be physical to be out to be doing something
but they do have this
one game that i'll let them play for a long time it's this crazy dance game oh
yeah dance revolution i don't know
what it's called but they dance and you mimic the thing they dance to uh what's
her face crazy what's
crazy's face oops i did it again britney spears um they dance they dance to you
better work bitch
you want a maserati you better work that's you to work they're dancing it's
hilarious but that's
exercise like have you done it with them yes yeah it's fun you have to i've
only done it honestly a
couple times they probably played it a million times but um you have to
coordinate your movements to mirror
the person on the screen right but my instincts are to like to not mirror but
to to do what he's
doing if his right arm's going up my right going up right because like that's
how you get taught
in martial arts uh-huh so i'm not sure if i'm supposed to be doing that or if i'm
supposed to be
just mirroring him like when he lifts up his right arm am i supposed to live up
my left arm
because that's that's the one that faces me is that how you're supposed to do
it no you
you do whatever you see yeah but then you have to track you have to switch it
over in your head
why don't you shoot that arm okay i'll go with you well this one it seems like
well you shouldn't be
high when you do this with your children you should be the only way i'm gonna
do it it seems like
though that it would be easier for all involved if you just had the mirror it
not do the same exact
side of their body as your body i don't know i've not i've never gotten that
deep because i've done it
and then quickly became exhausted and just uh pretended i thought it was stupid
so i could lay
down well it's critical in martial arts that you uh like if you're learning
something if you prefer
like especially kickboxing for most fighters most fighters have one good side
and one one side that
they're not so good at right and um like the really great fighters like one of
the best in the
world today is terence crawford and one of the things about him is he can fight
equally well from
southpaw or from orthodox oh really yeah so will he switch his stance oh yeah
he'll he'll do whatever
he wants wow he just people up he does whatever he wants i mean he fights
really top shelf competition
too and he's just he's so technical and so so clever at figuring people out but
i think he has a giant
advantage and that he literally is as good a southpaw as he is orthodox like he
can box the best boxers in
the world orthodox right and then they just switch up southpaw on them and
there's you know he might
be like a little better as a southpaw but god damn it's so close it might it
might also be just he's
their head up because they fought him one way and then he switches stances and
starts them up the other
way is he born that way no no it's a learned thing my point would be uh if you
had a southpaw instructor
and he was teaching you and you were mirroring him it would be weird right
right right you know right if
someone's teaching you something you want to see how their body's doing it and
and mimic their movements
right you want to see it and mimic their movements right you don't want to
mirror it it would be too
confusing yeah which is interesting because it seems like the mirror wouldn't
work better if it was the
stupid video game you know because like lift your arm i'll do what you do let's
let you kickboxing or any
i think any martial arts style yeah no it's messed you up you can't be a good
dance revolutionary someone's
got to walk you through it too dance dance revolutionary i'm probably doing
everything
wrong i'm probably risking all these joints like there's certain you know who
could dance like
really dance fahim fahim do you know fahim anwar no you don't know him from the
store he's coming on
is he on tomorrow he's on tomorrow he's hilarious oh yeah really funny guy but
his instagram is filled
with him dancing oh really yeah i mean but he dances really good yeah and i was
watching this and i got um i
got a little self-conscious watch this i was like i don't think i could do any
of this and if i had to
do this like watch watch him dance i was like if i had to do this i was so self-conscious
that i was
doing this like look he's really good yeah there's i made a new year's
resolution this year that i was
going to dance more that was and i haven't done it because of the same thing i
come i i always feel like
someone carol liefer once said to me you look like a guy who's never danced in
his life i was
like what do you mean i've got some flow carol liefels she's fucking hilarious
yeah she's in venice
amsterdam but that first thing i just showed you fortnight took a video from
his that was six years
old on his youtube channel and just put it in the game this like last past week
whoa and are charging
people money for it wow he's not making any money most likely no this has
happened over and over to
people with their dances dude look how good he dances he's great that's really
funny too i can't
really funny guy well super cool guy too he's filled with joy obviously you're
not you're not like an
an asshole if you dance like that good point right that's a happy that's a
happy fella that's a happy
fella he's a super nice guy super smart guy oh cool he had some sort of a
technical job didn't he
wasn't he like on we'll figure it out someone someone told me he had some very
uh intellectually strenuous job and then uh decided to bail on that to be a
comedian yeah
which makes sense that's interesting i hope that's a true story yeah you never
know with people man
i know you know i know i uh i uh i think that we probably could take a dance
class together dude i
don't want to learn how to dance like that i'm worried about my wife can really
move i have a meniscus
issue oh yeah what's that i tore or something in my meniscus what's the meniscus
in your knee padding in
between your knee yeah in between your bones you tore it yeah not that bad like
it's a little tear
and i've been trying to deal with it without surgery with stem cells oh boy but
the problem is i like
kicking things you're really good at favorite things is kicking things so it's
hard for me to not kick
things for a long time and when i when i don't kick things see i just don't
feel as good we all have
our things some people dance some people kick things i feel good when i hit
that back
i like to smoke weed i smoke like two or three hits uh-huh i get to the state
of mind
where i'm just i just feel like my tendons i feel my muscles and my bones and
then i just like to
fucking zone out i'll put on some lead zeppelin or something like that
and i'll just start just going off on the bag and it becomes like you feel like
you're uh like you're
just riding a like a wave of movement right you're not even thinking about it
you're not thinking about
anything other than making sure that you don't do anything stupid in terms of
like launching a strike
when the bag's in the wrong place where you could jam yourself or hurt yourself
so it's like you're just
flowing around the bag and it's just like you don't even have to really hit it
your hardest yeah it's
more like you you're in there like a dance and you're expressing yourself with
the movements but is
there an age where that it becomes like i'm gonna start tearing stuff a lot
well i just turned 52 i think
it's about 51. yeah it might be time for sure there's definitely trade on yoga
yeah i love the yoga too
yoga is good but it probably doesn't give you the same rush it's a different
rush they're all
they're both great rushes though yoga's a great rush yoga's great the thing
about the hitting things
though that it like leaves nothing no violence in you i don't know if that's
real or if that's just
i've been doing it so long that it's just a norm
