#802 - Tom Papa

Joe Rogan (0:01)

Tom Papa, ladies and gentlemen!

Tom Papa (0:05)

We're live, fella.

Tom Papa (0:05)

Ha, it's good to be here.

Joe Rogan (0:07)

So this is a statistic that I was going to tell you. If you divvied up all the money, all the money in the entire country, all the money that we have, everyone would get $179,000.

Tom Papa (0:19)

That's it?

Joe Rogan (0:19)

That's a lot.

Tom Papa (0:21)

That's all the money the US has?

Joe Rogan (0:22)

300 million people.

This is according to the 2010 Federal Reserve document, so it's a few years old. The total net worth of all US households and nonprofits is around $54.9 trillion.

Tom Papa (0:38)

All right.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

So that's $179,000 per person based on 307 million people.

Tom Papa (0:45)

Does that include children?

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Yeah, 307 million people. So your kids would get 100 grand, 179 grand. That's pretty sweet.

Tom Papa (0:54)

That's pretty sweet.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Your 11-year-old would be fat with cash.

Tom Papa (0:58)

Finally.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

Imagine an 11-year-old with $179,000.

Tom Papa (1:04)

How much candy can you buy? They'd go fucking crazy.

Tom Papa (1:09)

Your pool is filled with inflatable flamingos.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Yeah, there's a reason why you shouldn't be allowed to have that kind of money. Like you met when I was at Disneyland, I was talking to this guy. He's his guide, and a real nice guy, he's super cool because he's got so much knowledge about Disneyland. George? No, his name is Philander, that's his actual name. He's not a Philanderer, he's a very nice gentleman.

But he was talking to me about sometimes they have a prince from one of these Middle Eastern countries will come. And one time it was a little boy, and he was five years old.

Tom Papa (1:50)

Oh, man.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

And he had all these grown men, like, you know, 40 year old men around him that had to listen to every fucking word he said.

Tom Papa (1:59)

So he said, bring me candy.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

They had to run over with candy.

Tom Papa (2:03)

I want to see the mouse.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah, he does whatever he wants. And he's five.

Tom Papa (2:09)

That's crazy.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Yeah, they said he has like ungodly amounts of money, he can do whatever he wants. I mean, literally, probably worth a billion dollars, he's five.

Tom Papa (2:18)

So he's probably just becoming aware of his power.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

I think he's always been aware. Yeah, I mean, but I think his model of how people are is they're servants.

Tom Papa (2:29)

They're just all servants.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

Yeah, like he's royalty.

Tom Papa (2:34)

My kids would be awful if they were in charge.

SPEAKER_4 (2:37)

Everybody's kids would.

Tom Papa (2:38)

You would be, I would be.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

The idea that you could take a five year old kid and give him ungodly amounts of money and power is kind of insane.

Tom Papa (2:47)

Especially with their mood swings at that age.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

They're horrible.

Tom Papa (2:50)

In the middle of Disney and like, I want to go to the airplane now. I want an airplane now.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

What's funny with kids is when they get tired.

SPEAKER_5 (2:57)

They just can't deal.

SPEAKER_6 (2:59)

Oh my god.

Tom Papa (3:01)

They just fall apart.

My favorite is when my daughter goes, carry me. Like she's, like you imagine you get to a point where you just like, you have to lift me around. It's too much effort to try to walk, carry me.

Tom Papa (3:14)

My daughter still does that at 11, and it's just like, I can't. I physically can't.

I can for two steps, and then I'm putting you down.

Tom Papa (3:23)

What is 11 year old way?

Tom Papa (3:25)

11, she told me the other day, I think like 89

Tom Papa (3:28)

Yeah, it gets too big.

Tom Papa (3:29)

It's too big and long. It's long.

You're picking her up and her legs are dragging on the ground.

Tom Papa (3:34)

Especially if they want you to carry them like a baby. It's like you're carrying a log. You know, like you're carrying like a giant piece of lumber.

Tom Papa (3:43)

I don't want to walk.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

It's like if I had to carry like I can carry my wife, like I could throw over my shoulders like a fireman's carrying. But nobody wants to be carried like that.

Tom Papa (3:54)

No.

Joe Rogan (3:54)
