I don’t know if I’m more jealous of your wife or your daughters. I wish this guy was my husband, or my dad. There are so many good episodes! The Burt Kreischer, Lisa Kudrow, Maron, and Feimster ones will make you feel the love

I couldn’t listen to them chew and speak on mic at the same time. I guess I’m not into asmr. The audio is gross.

#1Papa fan

I went to Tom Papas stand up show in Thousand Oaks a couple nights ago. He was HILARIOUS. I love it that he came out to the merch table and signed books, shook hands, and took pictures. What a warm, down to earth, friendly, talented man. I will drive the four hours to see him again!
One of the best!
