4, 3, 2, 1

Yee-haw, Tom Papa! We're just talking about moving into the woods together.

Tom Papa (0:12)

This feels so good.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

A little tiny house with three pairs of shoes, three pairs of pants.

Tom Papa (0:18)

Maybe two.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Some shirts.

Tom Papa (0:19)

Yeah.

That's it. The last clothing you'll ever buy. One coat.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Yeah. Everybody's just out here chasing bigger and better, Tom Papa.

Tom Papa (0:29)

Just why? Why?

Joe Rogan (0:31)

I'm starting to wonder. I was telling you guys that I was looking at this house that was for sale in Northern California in the Redwoods.

It's 32, no, 320 feet square. Tiny ass fucking house. The whole house. It's got a loft. The loft is where you sleep in.

Tom Papa (0:47)

A tiny home.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

The tiny thing below it is like a little tiny kitchen.

Tom Papa (0:51)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

A little tiny like couch area. That's it.

Tom Papa (0:54)

Like a houseboat with like built-in things.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

It's kind of like a houseboat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They make those now.

Tom Papa (0:59)

Think about how simple your life would be.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

It would be, but would you be content?

Tom Papa (1:05)

That's very small.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

You'd be great for a little while.

Tom Papa (1:08)

That's very small. 360 Yeah, that's... I want a shower.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Like that. Look at that little tiny house.

Tom Papa (1:15)

That's three... No, come on. That's...

Joe Rogan (1:17)

That's not the one, is it?

Tom Papa (1:18)

That's bigger than that. That's 1,000 square feet.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

320 foot. It says 320 foot. Tiny cabin and big bear.

Tom Papa (1:24)

Oh, my God.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

That's attainable.

Tom Papa (1:27)

That's bigger than we need.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Is that still for sale? I don't even know if it's for sale.

Tom Papa (1:31)

Let's chip in today.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

I think I put up last year. 320 foot tiny cabin and big bear. Amazing small house.

Tom Papa (1:40)

Aw.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Oh. You know what we should do, Jamie?

Tom Papa (1:42)

So simple.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

We should buy that place and turn it into our big bear studio. That's what we should do.

Do fucking show... I bet the show's up there. I bet if we did a show in big bear in the woods like that, it would have a totally different feel to it.

Tom Papa (1:54)

Yeah, because you'd be hearing your guests screaming in the background being mauled by mountain lions.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

But if you did do a show up there, how the fuck would you convince people to drive two hours?

Jamie (2:07)

Couldn't we get there?

People that are training up there or something like that? Maybe they could pop over.

SPEAKER_5 (2:11)

Yeah, you get like four guys.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Gennady Golovkin and Tito Ortiz that come over every day. And then you'd be like, okay, I get it, you ate chocolate dough.

SPEAKER_3 (2:20)

I get it.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

I get it. Canelo is a pussy.

SPEAKER_3 (2:22)

I get it.

Tom Papa (2:26)

I don't know. I mean, the fantasy is that that becomes a simple life. You pare down everything, all the aggravation. Maybe two bills come to the house. But would you go crazy?

Joe Rogan (2:35)

If I didn't have a family, it wouldn't be a problem.

If it was just single Joe, no family, no kids, it wouldn't be a problem. I would just go. I mean, I really probably think I would already have a place like that up there. Where I could just go and chill.

Tom Papa (2:52)

I was thinking of just a little place like that, like a little hideout next to the house, like Mark Twain had.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Did he have a place like that next to his house?

Tom Papa (3:00)

He had this little octagon kind of a room, and he would leave his house with his daughters and his wife, and he would go up the steps and go into his little thing. And on this table was just his pipe, a box of cigars, his writing pads, his pens, and he just would hang out there and smoke all day and work, and then he would go back home. Maybe that's enough. Maybe that cuts the edge off.

It gives you your isolation and your simplicity, and then you return back to the people you have to feed.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

It's a little something.

That'll work if you've got the people you have to feed. If you don't have the people you have to feed, straight woods, bro.
