#1210 - Tom Papa

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Here's how promotions work.

Jamie Vernon (0:02)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

Here we go, four, three, two, one.

So, Tom Pop and I are sitting here, and I say, did you see the fight on Saturday night? And he said, the guy that got knocked down, mental health guy.

Tom Papa (0:16)

The mental health guy? The guy that got up for everyone with mental health?

Joe Rogan (0:19)

But he said, no, I didn't see the fight.

Tom Papa (0:22)

I only saw that.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

This is how narratives work, you know what I mean? In this day and age especially, there's way too much information out there, right? There's no way you could see every television show or watch every sporting event or know every scandal.

So when something happens, it's like the blurb, the little summary that I have absorbed.

Tom Papa (0:43)

My one buddy watched it on Instagram. He posted a thing and it was very heartfelt that he got up for all the people with mental health.

And I read that and I feel like I experienced the whole thing. But you know, it's funny, I don't know if he won or lost. I know he got up.

SPEAKER_4 (0:56)

It was a draw. Yeah, it was a draw.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

And I don't have a firm opinion on whether or not the draw was justified, because I only watched it once. I thought that Tyson Feuer won most of the rounds except the two that he got knocked down in.

Tom Papa (1:13)

Tyson's the anti-mental health guy?

Joe Rogan (1:15)

No, he's the white guy.

Tom Papa (1:16)

Oh, he's the white guy.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

He's the white guy that got knocked down. And Deontay Wilder, he's strange in that he has the most freaky punching power I think I've ever seen ever.

Tom Papa (1:29)

That's what I heard too.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

He's not a big guy. For a heavyweight, he's 212 pounds.

Tom Papa (1:33)

He looks pretty big though.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Oh, he's jacked. But he's shredded. He has no fat on him whatsoever. His back is where all the power is. And that's where his muscle is. You see his back. It's just fucking just a bundle of snakes.

Tom Papa (1:46)

When I saw the clip, it was like he knocked him out and then backed up and did a little dance.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

And Tyson got up.

But fuck that guy Wilder punches so hard. And that was in the 12th and final round.

Tom Papa (1:56)

Oh, that was?

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Of a fight where he was mostly losing. He was mostly getting boxed up. He was mostly getting outboxed. But then he would land, and he landed real hard in like, what was it, like the 8th or the 9th? Something like that.

Something like that. He dropped him. But that wasn't a big knockdown. He knocked him down, but he got up pretty quick and he was okay.

But in the 12th, he fucking blasted him. He hit him with the right hand, and then as he was falling, he hit him with the left hook on the chin as he was going down, and he was laid flat on his back with his arms down. He looked unconscious.

Tom Papa (2:28)

Yeah, he really did.

SPEAKER_4 (2:29)

And then he rose like Lazarus.

Tom Papa (2:32)

And he looked pretty sharp when he got on his feet.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

He won the rest of the round.

SPEAKER_4 (2:36)

He won the rest of the round and stung him.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

He stung Deontay Wilder. It was crazy.

Tom Papa (2:40)

Because of the mental health kids.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

Yes, he was doing it for the mental health people.

Tom Papa (2:44)

You think that's really what he was thinking when you're getting up off the canvas, I'm doing it for the kid?

Joe Rogan (2:48)

I would never doubt him.

Tom Papa (2:49)

Yeah, I mean there's-

Joe Rogan (2:50)

Because he really does, he's a very unusual guy, and he donated his entire purse to charity.

All of it. Like eight million dollars.

Tom Papa (2:59)

Really?

Joe Rogan (3:00)

Yeah. Yeah, he donated all of it to charity.

Tom Papa (3:02)

Holy cow.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Yeah.

Tom Papa (3:04)

That's great.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

He's a fucking really unusual guy. He's been in here. He was in the podcast when he was gearing up for the fight.

Tom Papa (3:11)

So I should call him the super nice mental health guy.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

He's a very nice guy. Very nice guy.

Tom Papa (3:15)
