Summary

Beloved comedian, actor and "Breaking Bread with Tom Papa" host Tom Papa joins Phil & David for "Naked Lunch." Over delicious sandwiches from Corner Market, Tom discusses his "Breaking Bread" podcast, how he recently made some news with guest Tig Notaro discussing her own podcasting split with Cheryl Hines. Then, perhaps in an effort to leaven things up, they all enjoy breaking the balls of Tony Shalhoub for possibly reheating Tom's title. All this, but great comedy road stories, from opening up for Kenny Loggins and, famously, Jerry Seinfeld to his current The Grateful Bread tour.
