june 23rd through june 26th today's guest is here for the first time he's a
comedian
and he's an entertaining man and he is out of new york and um you're gonna
learn about him as i do
he and i've actually never met but he has a new special on youtube called mom
love and his own
podcast called long days i'm grateful to get to spend some time with him uh
ladies and gentlemen
mr janice papas
for me to set that parking brake and let myself unwind
shine that light on me
i'll sit and tell you my stories
shine on me
yeah you know what i've been realizing is uh what's dicey to me is if they get
those little
sandwiches you know the ones um the little
man uh cut sandwiches
yeah
you know what i'm saying
like a hero cut up
no no but more like just like the square ones and then somebody cuts it up like
that you know i'm talking about
like the triangle pieces
conceptually i know i'm trying to picture it though
so yeah it just has meat cheese man and mustard or mayonnaise in it
yeah it just like is a little triangle
yeah
you know somebody gets that little round tray of a bunch of those little
triangles
yes now i got you
yeah
but then the weird part is when they start to sit there for a while and it gets
hard on the side and
people still eat them
yeah
that's why you gotta get to that plate early
but it's some guys prefer
that's air damage
yes
some guys prefer to go into the tray
late in the game bro
yeah that's not the way you gotta get there before the air damage
hardens it up
yeah
yeah that is air damage man
yeah there's a triangular
yeah you know what i'm talking about those triangular ones
are you talking about they come in like a plastic plate
you pull it off
yes
i know exactly what you're talking about
yeah and they get the top on it
yeah
um
convenient way to throw a party
yeah yeah
you don't gotta make sandwiches
if you
if you know it's just
yeah
it's better that way
yeah i think having it like that is probably makes things
uh
yeah somebody cracks open a thing of those
as a kid i hate this
i was like oh those things look like
they're for adults or something
but as an adult i'm like oh i'll have one or two of those
yeah
they're nice
yeah
it's a perfect
you can't go back
you can't go wrong with meat and cheese at an adult party
meat and cheese is always a hit
salami and cheese
yeah
that's always that's gonna go first
yeah
people aren't gonna touch the salad
people aren't gonna touch
if you got the carrots and the ranch out
those will be there tomorrow
the whole plate will be there but
yeah
the salami and cheese is gone
yeah
yeah
it's the beyonce of that spread
it is really man
um
is janice's mic in his face guys
do you guys want it somewhere different
i always have mic problems i apologize
do you
i do
it's something like even on my own podcast
or like
like i just can't
i have no
i might be challenged in that way
like a learning disability
with like where the mic is supposed to be
yeah
yeah i think it does get to be like
um
i'm either too low too high
yeah
but you've been uh
you've been podcasting for a long time
um
so a lot of my listeners might not even know you
and you and i have just met
we just met
yeah
yeah
that's crazy
yeah well i know you
you know
yeah same
yeah like i know you for comedy
but yeah it's the first time we've been in the flesh
yeah
yeah
it feels good
it's interesting
yeah
you got a cozy warm kind of vibe
yeah energy
oh thanks man
yeah i feel i feel right like in the womb
i'm i'm i feel in a womb
you're good
yeah
i like it man
yeah
yeah well thanks for coming man
so i want to just like kind of just so my listeners know like
how you even got started like in the comedy
just take me through a little bit of that man
because you are from another country
i'm from another country
are you from another country
i'm uh america
oh okay yeah
i thought you were
well it would technically be right if you were from
if you weren't from here
right
and i would be from another country
but you also
were you born in another country
no i was born here
oh i thought you were born in another country
i dude i look at you and i i say
i can see why he would assume that
because you're fucking american
yeah
you're american american
like if there can be
more of a way to be american
yeah
it's on you
so i know just hearing my name
you're like i guess he's from
he must have been born in romania or something
i got an immigrant name
yeah i would i mean i don't know if i would i remember um i said to one of my
friends yesterday
i was like oh uh janice pappas is coming on and they're like oh i thought um oh
who's the they're like oh that reminds me of that guy who has the other name
that's kind of like a double oh um who's the russian guy the older russian jewish
comedian
uh zelensky he's fighting a war right no no he's ukrainian too same shit he's
doing cameos somebody said that's crazy yeah i mean for 600 to raise money for
ukraine that's crazy that is crazy and he's got time where do they have that
guy that he's got a camera set up and i tell you one i don't know who his
barber is but he's on call the dude is always crisp in the middle of a war i
mean he's got like a fade every three days oh yeah he's like the dj call it i
feel like of like bombing
yeah i think he just travels with his barber he's got a barber in the bomb
shelter he really values whoever cuts his hair and dude will somebody win this
fucking war already like jesus what it feels like they just nobody will win it
or they don't care are they taking days off it feels like they're like hey let's
do it on tuesday i'll meet you guys on friday we'll do another round on friday
it is hard to understand right because like if there's a war going on how is he
safe to
give talks and you know do a video zoom for the oscars and then biden goes
there he's walking around no problem i think nancy pelosi yeah was wheeled out
there so like where's the war yeah i don't know what's happening yeah and i don't
know i think it's like a i think they got to go to court like maybe johnny and
amber to solve it figure it out yeah because i'm shitting who's bad son yeah i
feel like johnny is russia in this scenario
mm-hmm and amber uh no i'm sorry johnny yeah johnny's johnny's ukraine i'm
sorry and amber's russia
and uh no yeah who's the bad there's only two ways to do it i don't know
it's only two the good guys are ukraine i'm trying to depend on it depends on
which side of the political
aisle you i guess you fall on to consider who's the bad guy yeah but i think
johnny yeah is ukraine
johnny because he got invaded by amber so we need to figure out ways to funnel
weapons to johnny
yeah that's what we got to do to help out johnny yeah i saw johnny deaf one
night at the comedy store
it was pretty crazy that is a crazy sighting to see johnny because i went up in
a doug stanhope is
friends with the introduction to him and then i realized i didn't know what to
say and then i
realized i didn't have anything to say to johnny that right that's almost the
worst but like when
you're like oh there's not even there's not even a 30th degree of separation
like there's nothing to
even say here it's like literally shook hands and then i had nothing yeah i it
would kind it's kind
of similar to meeting you because what i wanted to say i held it maybe what you
wanted to say you held
it because you felt like he's he's over it like i would have opened with a 21
jump street thing
because that's my closest emotional tie to johnny okay was his hair back then
with the earring he kind
of said that that my generation pull that picture of johnny deaf 21 jump street
let's get an image of
that i think he was like the that hairstyle with the earring was like every
white guy in america
yeah did that middle part with the earring and so i would open with a 21 jump
street like with you
i road rules but i didn't want to say it i know you from road rules i remember
oh that's interesting
yeah and you're as big as i thought you were like tall you're a tall drink of
water i you know it's
really funny people say that i'm tall and i don't i don't i've always just been
i mean i've been
this height for probably 21 years now and it's like i don't think anything i
never thought i was
tall but people constantly say that yeah you're like damn bro you're taller
than i thought so it's
always mexicans you comment on it i'm not gonna say that but it's a lot of like
uh latinos you know
or recent americans you know who are like yeah you're taller than i thought you
know recent american
is a better way than to call mexican it's a way to scoot around it well not
even mexican but just
i feel like if we're gonna be because people remember that people used to say
illegal immigrants
right yeah because i'll meet a lot of mexican guys i'll be like uh you know
where do you come
or how do you you know and they'll be like uh just don't tell anybody i'm here
you don't say they all
joke about it yeah yeah yeah you know yeah but it's like so i think recent americans
yeah it at least
gives both sides of the net like a little bit of like okay they're new and then
other people like
let's you know you're running cover for them because you're not lying right but
you're also not
telling them they may not have their papers they're recent americans interpret
that the way
we got a couple recent americans here god johnny depp was just man yeah oh yeah
he'd be a hot
chick now even he yeah if he went trans he would look good some guys you can
tell if they transition
they would flawlessly transition usually they don't have the like the neo-endethral
brow that's a real
impediment to like a smooth transition but he got a real nice girl guy face oh
yeah god man yeah if he
put some makeup on and grew the hair a little longer i don't even think he'd
need estrogen
well he's a handsome kid he's handsome guy yeah and he used to definitely be
more i mean look he's
getting older you know and i think he's partied pretty hard he's probably going
pretty hard yeah
yeah for a guy who did the amount of drugs he did yeah he looks good that's a
good point he looks
real good that's a good i mean i don't know how much la has to do with that hollywood
people with uh
who are stars tend to age very well because i guess when your job is just
staying in shape every
day in between scripts yeah you dedicate a lot of time to it there's like a
team of people
who keep johnny tap like camera ready well you can also get fluff you got fluffers
that's a big thing
yeah like a guy that's going to do work at duncan donates or whatever he ain't
got that fluffer
you know i'm saying you don't have somebody meeting him in the parking lot an
hour early
yeah to polish him up and trim off all the loose ends and take his append his
dirty appendix out or
whatever's going on you know but he's got those people where every day before
he you know there's
people like just really shining him up you think like if there was a competitor
to come out that
would compete against dunkin donuts and starbucks if they use a strategy of
like you know what
we're gonna up the game of the people who work here and make them all beautiful
with fluffers we'll
hire fluffers too that they'll even if the coffee's not as good it'll give them
the edge like how come
nobody's sneaking outside the box like that well so you're saying if they beautified
the um
the staff the staff yeah with fluff with the help of fluffers with they got the
corporate money
right they can create extra jobs we don't have to live in this world where
coffee shops have like
ugly untaken care of i don't know if that's the way you say it unquaffed unkempt
yeah unkept
unkept people maybe we need to create jobs how about how about a couple fluffers
for these dunkin
donuts employees yeah cinderella's
