What is the focus of Tom Papa's comedy career?
is your inspirational quote we're all fat so eat more bread on this episode of the commercial break I wrote him. I said, please, I'm a podcaster. Do you understand? I work for free. I'm doing boner pill host reads just trying to make a living. They don't pay very good.
And I have to use them in order to get a personal experience.
It's a miserable life I live. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
kids welcome back to the commercial break i'm brian green this is my dear friend and beautiful co-host of the commercial break chris and joey holy best to you chris and best to you out there in the podcast universe netflix netflix take note i just want to say this out loud netflix take note
And I think every person who was on Netflix as a joke this year is swinging by the commercial break for a little How You Do. That's right. Yes. Feels like we're the... You heard it here last.
How did the pandemic influence Tom Papa's projects?
I think Netflix has an order, you know? You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Conan.
Yeah, get him on there. Stern. Maybe. Maybe Stern will do a two-hour long interview with him. What about Jimmy Kimmel? Sure, put him on Kimmel.
And then they go down the list, down the list, down the list. And then they're like, the commercial break. I guess. I mean, if we fucking have to, I guess we'll throw them there. And we're blessed to have them.
What unique experiences does Tom Papa share about his family?
Don't make a mistake. I'm super blessed.
Oh, I know.
But I'm just noticing a little pattern that's going on. And I'm happy to be a part of it. Happy to be a part of it. But I want them to take note. Because next time Netflix is a joke comes around in 2025, I think it just would be appropriate if they would just send us to some of these places where Netflix is a joke is happening and let us do the interviews live there where they're actually doing a set or whatever it happens to be. Netflix is a joke.
This is a great idea.
Yeah. Some of them are recorded for Netflix and then others are just shows sponsored by Netflix. And then I guess some people are doing, you know, specials during that Netflix is a joke thing. It feels like Netflix is a joke lasts all year, doesn't it? I don't know.
What lessons does Tom Papa learn from his children?
I don't know. We'll get the lowdown. And Reed, where's the dinner invitation? I'm serious. Mr. Hastings, I should be respectful. Mr. Hastings, if you don't mind, where's the dinner invitation? The private plane, the limousines, Tom Papa's bread. Yeah, Tom Papa's bread. Tom hasn't sent us any bread.
And I'm going to ask him because this is a TCB infomercial day and Mr. Tom Papa is going to be joining us.
I know.
I can't believe it. I love him so much.
He is great. I think the first time I saw him must have been Letterman.
How does Tom Papa view his social media presence?
Don't you think? Don't you think it was like way back in Letterman or something like that?
Yeah, I've seen quite a few of his specials, and I just love his brand of humor.
He feels like... I don't want to say this pejoratively, like negatively, and I'm not even sure those two words mean the same thing, but they sound fancy, so I'll say them. I feel like... Tom is like your best friend, like the dad of comedians. He's really level-headed and very calm, cool, collected. And all of the comedians that I have seen him with, and I do listen to his podcast, all of the comedians that come or stars that come to his show, they all seem to be so reverent of Tom. He doesn't get a lot of ball busting. He's like the guy that everybody wants to go have a conversation with. The exact opposite of the commercial break. So it makes sense that he's on the show today.
We'll ask him about that.
I do love me some Tom Papa. The Papa?
What insights does Tom Papa offer about late-night shows?
Papa, Papa, Papa. He's like the Papa of comedy.
He is like the Papa of comedy. Speaking of papas, I do have to tell you just like a little side note, a little funny conversation that happened between me and one of my children the other day. I said, hey, kids, what's going on at school? You know, I like to check in with them once or twice. Of course. How was your day at school? Once or twice a year, I like to check in with them, make sure they're doing okay. How was your year at school? Yeah, how was your year at school?
