I know he hates doing them, but he is such a good podcast guest.

[@skonaz]

he's good when the host isn't the most boring uninteresting person on the planet.....

[@DoomSplitta]

I find Jezelnik to be too much of an edgelord.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

He HAS a podcast.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

@@DoomSplitta Not an actual word.

[@courtneyacoleman]

Jesselnik’s comedy is so whip smart and well written. His jokes are like comedy sleight of hand. As much as he seems to be leading somewhere, you never know where you’re going to end up. To quote him, you feel smarter laughing at his jokes.

[@ournewneighborhood581]

I love Anthony's moth eaten sweater and Tom's v-neck, they just need a cup of tea and a fireplace!

[@Infomaniack]

Papa and Jeselnik are such pure stand-ups.

[@debbieskrletts725]

Anthony is such a great guest. Love him

[@RosablueHandMade]

Love these guys. So different and so grown-up funny. Tom dribbles full court with his heart right on his sleeve but Anthony is like a close up magician. Every bit is like a 3-card Monte where you have to guess where he hid his heart. But a sweetheart all the same.

[@angelfvce1262]

A good back and forth, felt like a date 😂. Great podcast!

[@delataylor]

Oh my god! So true! Haha!

[@sassybaby2u]

Really loved the relaxed style of this. Two legends in one podcast. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@runningforlife5395]

I love Tom papas voice. Anthony’s got a nice calm attitude when he speaks as well. Can’t wait to listen

[@ZapperguyLOL]

Very casual conversation that probably revealed more about Anthony than we've ever heard before. Thanks for this. ☮

[@espice8876]

Jeselnik is the comedian that brought me back into comedy! Love him to bits!

[@Masterfuron]

I was waiting all podcast for Jeselnik to make a Jim Gaffigan reference lol

[@HlifeRomania91]

Thanks so very much for this pod I adore Anthony and it was wonderful conversation appreciate your efforts

[@philipjones3793]

"Chissell-Tits" is definately one of my top 3 favorite comedians. I was so jacked to find this episode. Also, so nice to hear all about the dudes life. Thanks Tom and Anthony.

[@quinnck]

Definitely check out JRVP now that it's on youtube video. He and Rosenthal give great book recommendations if you're a fellow reader as well.

[@Bookjunkieinheels]

Bread and Anthony is the perfect combination 😊

[@vovindequasahi]

Jeselnik is the man! Guy is for real, and I love him. I love his moth-eathen sweater lol!

[@rdholb]

You two talking about flying first class made you very relatable. 🤣

[@karlspek5812]

I really enjoy how likable and sweet Anthony comes across. Great podcast. Thank you.

[@e30sdontrun86]

This podcast is slept on 😂

[@molochi]

It seems so weird for Anthony to be talking to somebody and not stress something he's saying by repeating it twice. Haha

[@robertgilmore7190]

Jeselnik has to be in the top 5 best comedians alive right now.

[@icaptureditforyou]

great anecdotes

[@cgzx214]

Love every podcast Anthony is guess on his so funny especially when you let him

[@elisabarnes772]

I so desperately want to knit Anthony a new sweater 😂

[@dcool2u2]

Yeah! My eye keeps going to that hole on his shoulder. The whole podcast I've been trying to figure it out lol Like, does the entire sweater have random holes and that's the way it was made. Or is it just a really old sweater? 🤔

[@teelorp8306]

Lmfao I got an ad for flower while watching this episode

[@Masterfuron]

At 26, I feel like I've already turned into an older man. I don't drink, smoke cigarettes anymore, watch t.v, don't really go out and also got a puppy during the pandemic

[@teelorp8306]

Most old men I know do all of those things.

[@twofatchicksproductions9015]

Just avoid erectile dysfunction and I'd say that's all a positive for your mental health 👍

[@shayneerickson5559]

So your super lame now?

[@Masterfuron]

They deleted their comment but yes, I'm lame now. Lmfao. Comes from a too cool past.

[@TheRealJakeRyanMusic]

I wish i had done that. I waiting till 32. Could have saved myself a lot of living lol

[@vovindequasahi]

20 years ago there was a whole lot than drinks going around before sets!

[@themaingujdek1]

Greetings from Slovenia :)

[@justinlehti4193]

Anthony, when I was young and into pot, it had seeds and stems in it. We had varieties like Columbian ragweed, local field pot from regional farmers hiding crops in their fields of corn or wheat or whatever. High end weed was Thia Stick, and man, fuck you up, and then there was Sensiemillion (sp?) from Mexico, and it was the first time we had weed without seeds and too many stems. By the time the 90's rolled around, all of a sudden the grass got WAY TOO STRONG for me. I miss the lightweight THC content, I can't handle todays pot. Cheers Anthony, love your comedy.

[@TheLooneyTunesCritic]

Anthony looks VERY Pittsburg in this interview, rocking that Mister Rogers sweater.

[@legitasballs2118]

LOVE Jeselnik!!

[@morrisc4624]

I liked this Podcast.... couple of old friends just chatting.

[@rockshow5921]

Luv Anthony!! great talk!!

[@under-._.-score]

48:06 I met one of the Atlanta jelesniks and they mentioned that too

[@michaelbsquire]

The goat.

[@pixelphotolab3271]

Anthony’s “No” when Tom asks him if he can save him one of his mom’s cookie. 😂

[@mismos00]

Jeselnik smokes his hash joints in that sweater

[@day245]

Can’t smoke hash from a paper

[@bbowers1955]

Legend has it that they talked about eyes until the sun turned into vomit.

[@fieldsoftorment1]

I want to watch Whitney's reaction to this podcast, Every table bang would send her into a rage.

[@ModeratelyAmused]

R.I.P.

[@Dumballa]

Nice job fellas

[@rgt4848]

You can set page count on kindle.

[@savage_skirt5386]

A Gentleman in Moscow is the book he referenced.

[@Colanito]

What was that noise glitch when they're talking about the Kindle...?

[@philliphayden2727]

First Papa ep I've seen where he didn't personally make the bread.

[@pauliseri935]

My guess about Jeselnik's cookies is "Crackle Brownie Cookies" (Look up images)

[@stpetebeach63]

Why does the 2-shot only appear 43 minutes in?

[@johnpyke6126]

"They just threw me in the back" (coach) Boohoo for you Tom 55:30. Welcome to traveling like the vast majority of Americans.

[@drillthrallable]

People with kids: "Join us. Join us. You'd be a great dad! Join us."

[@breft3416]

Upper St. Claire? Jeselnik is a rarity- a likeable, brilliant guy who doesn't seem to be from the most upper middle class, racist and narcissistict suburb in the 'Burgh. He doesn't seem to be from the area, but his Pittsburgh roots show through in his excellent sarcasm.

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

You'll have to bake your own cookies.

[@halliegould8662]

🎺

[@dottiec7943]

Great interview good questions 👍👍. I don't wanna take the whole mystique of Kane away. So I won't. There's where I know I'm older wiser than Tom. Kanes commercial hit song was company supplied by the record label. Ok I knew and know it's all all branding. All. Country singers from new Jersey. On and on.

[@dukeallen432]

Love your work papa. Seating for guest males them vulnerable. Loose back wall. Some real plants

[@chackish]

hearing two rich guys talk about the trials of first class air travel. What a podcast.

[@propagandadetox]

Anthony looks like a person who has a German Shepard - ..... yeah

[@Anglercat]

Did Tom burn Anthony’s sweater with a cigar? Maybe Tom has a moth problem? ggwp.

[@peachmelba1000]

No, it's "shabby chic", which is a disingenuously ranshackle mode of style that some wealthy people port to seem, I dunno...relatable?

[@lucastaneda2335]

Es hora de partir pan con Papa! No lo sabes? Tambien es un show!

[@vargasfamily282]

I could have used that calendar. I hated carding people because math.

[@jamesbost4798]

I think Tom Papa looks way better with sideburns

[@Lulzswag]

Anthony Jeselnik, Dave Chappelle, Daniel Tosh, and Bill Burr are my absolute favorite comedians. They're willing to push the envelope because there's nothing off limits in comedy.

[@Drteomas]

His opening joke is, Ari Shaffir walks into a bar....

[@mismos00]

Weird empy hall reverb on Tom.

[@n.a.mcintosh4697]

Tom how distant is your relation to Jim Gaffigan? Go Steelers!

[@jglassdude]

I know it was like pulling teeth, but he’s tough on podcasts with people he doesn’t know well

[@midwayer11]

Jeselnik is the Kamala Harris of comedians.

[@theabraham8164]

A black woman?

[@cpresto2]

Tom, who does your sound mixing? Roll off those low frequencies pal, every time your guest touches the table it makes our heads rattle

[@matttrafton2725]

I wonder if his kids call him Papa?

[@steveochremchuk7143]

You 2 should read anything by frank herbert.... doesnt have to be dune

[@savage_skirt5386]

lot of slavs in pittsburgh. not surprising. even if he wasn't from there, from his name alone i'd have guessed Slavic.

[@danbei2232]

Jeselnik needs better friends! Ones that still drink and smoke! 🤣🤣

[@robovac3557]

We watched Inside Amy Schumer. Spare a thought for this poor sap who was actually inside her.

[@davidk467]

Kanye=🤮🤮🤮

[@cclrvr]

Ew...

[@saar144]

My god, I adore Anthony, but Tom Papa is like the most boring host, he brings the guest’s energy down.

[@30adamh]

love papa so I'm commenting for the algorithm. despise jeselnik. real comedians believe in free speech

[@mjmcg73]

How did Anthony not believe in free speech? What happened?

[@elpusegato]

Beside the fact that he's a one-note hack, Jeselnik is a Judas. I wish comics would stop giving him a platform.

[@morbidmanmusic]

Are you constipated? You sure sound it.

[@michaelheintzelman1903]

What's with the Goodwill cardigan?

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

Algorithm engagement! I L🫶🏻VE Y🫵🏼U both‼️ Great times!
