    Bernie Madoff's Class in Defeat (Wizard of Lies)

    #

    Tim discusses HBO's Wizard of Lies documentary, praising Bernie Madoff's stoic acceptance of his downfall compared to fugitives like Whitey Bulger, discusses the 2008 collapse timeline, and mocks the documentary's title.

    9moments
    • 0:39Tim watched Wizard of Lies, the HBO Bernie Madoff documentary.
    • 1:10Tim is struck by Madoff's class—he didn't run, didn't lie, didn't blame others when caught.
    • 1:31Madoff took full responsibility and said 'this is me and me alone' instead of trying to take anyone down.
    • 1:57Tim argues society should give Madoff credit for knowing when the jig was up and not fleeing like Whitey Bulger.
    • 2:35The world economy was collapsing and people wanted their money back—Madoff knew the writing was on the wall.
    • 2:50When asked what he thought would happen, Madoff said he thought the whole world would end.
    • 3:08Tim sees logic in Madoff's thinking: he believed the world would collapse and he'd never have to come clean.
    • 3:56Tim questions who at HBO decided 'Wizard of Lies' was a good title for the documentary.
    • 4:17Ray confused Wizard of Lies with Wizard of Oz before the show started.

    Ray's Dr. Pepper Heroics and Madoff vs. Gary Vaynerchuk

    #

    A tangent about Ray diving on an exploding Dr. Pepper to save the microphones, comparing his composure to Madoff's, then pivoting to introduce Gary Vaynerchuk as a lesser figure than Madoff.

    3moments
    • 4:30Ray walked into the studio and a Dr. Pepper exploded on him, and he shielded the microphones like a soldier jumping on an IED.
    • 4:55Tim prefers Bernie Madoff to Gary Vaynerchuk as a person of character and integrity.
    • 5:14Gary Vaynerchuk is an angel investor who constantly name-drops Zuckerberg as 'Zucks' and the Twitter CEO as 'Travis' to establish credibility he hasn't earned.

    Gary Vaynerchuk, Rise-and-Grind Culture, and Long Island Hustle Bros

    #

    An extended riff on Gary Vaynerchuk's motivational business persona, his 'rise and grind' philosophy, his effect on Long Island friends and family sharing his content, his background running his father's wine store into an e-commerce empire, and why most people aren't cut out to be entrepreneurs.

    15moments
    • 5:57Tim's problem with Gary Vaynerchuk: he floods social media with motivational quotes about hustle, rise and grind, and beast mode that make him want to vomit.
    • 6:11Long Island people share Gary Vee's rise-and-grind videos, then go grocery shopping and feel like they've accomplished something by putting olives in their cart.
    • 6:56Tim doesn't hate Gary Vaynerchuk, but there's something about his voice and mannerisms that makes people angry, like there's a hook to grab onto.
    • 7:37A friend had dinner with Gary Vee and said it was like eating dinner without a roll—he just talks in circles and speaks like fortune cookies.
    • 7:52Gary Vaynerchuk is doing it for himself, not for you—there are no altruistic motives here.
    • 8:13Tim has known real powerhouses who make money, and almost none of them go in for motivational speaker shit—they're focused on money from a young age.
    • 8:38Most people were not meant to be entrepreneurs; if you can't make money, no one can help you, no matter what you learn.
    • 9:10Tim believes Gary Vaynerchuk is the engine for trends he hates—telling everyone to flood social media with content every single day.
    • 9:49Gary Vee's rule to 'do what you love with no excuses' backfires: most people don't love anything, they just want to be rich and have sex.
    • 10:57The problem with Gary Vee's beast mode and rise-and-grind philosophy is that it assumes everyone should be an entrepreneur, which isn't true.
    • 11:30Tim found something he loves and is on the street; most people who love something end up miserable, like a cellist at Juilliard who never makes money.
    • 12:37Gary Vaynerchuk's whole thing is that everybody's meant to be an entrepreneur—'there's a startup in all of us'—but Tim doesn't believe that.
    • 12:50The value of content diminishes by the amount of content being produced; when people flood social media with five posts a day, their message becomes noise.
    • 13:42Tim argues with his friend Anthony in Bellmore about Gary Vee's worth, telling him he has more in common with Tim, who can tell him where to steal juice from the food emporium.
    • 14:01Tim questions why Anthony needs to build his brand at all.

    Deconstructing Gary Vee's Memes and Word Salad

    #

    Tim reads and mocks nonsensical Gary Vaynerchuk quotes and memes about gratitude, empathy, and legacy, then plays and reacts to Gary Vee video clips about ambition, hustle, and not being 'fancy' despite flying private jets.

    10moments
    • 14:07Tim introduces Gary Vee as an example of someone who has stopped making sense.
    • 14:39Gary Vee's quote about deploying gratitude and empathy leading to pure offense and speed has no coherent meaning, according to Tim.
    • 15:25Using militaristic language like 'deploy' is part of Gary Vee's appeal—it hooks people with aggressive, almost Nazi-like rhetoric.
    • 16:13Gary Vee posted a meme listing reasons he does things, ending with 'because I care what people say behind my back.'
    • 16:44Gary Vee later contradicted himself by saying he puts zero weight into anyone's opinions about him.
    • 17:14Video shows Gary Vee claiming that if you want to be an anomaly, you have to act like one, and that ambition is predicated on actions not words.
    • 18:09Tim criticizes Gary Vee wearing a hoodie as false accessibility—a 40-year-old billionaire shouldn't dress like a first-year Stanford undergrad.
    • 19:15Gary Vee claims he's not fancy while simultaneously mentioning dinners with Zuckerberg and Travis, and taking private jets.
    • 19:40Gary Vee is an Eastern European immigrant whose father had a wine store, which he digitized and scaled to $60 million.
    • 20:52Tim believes that people who tweet and meme constantly eventually stop knowing what they're actually saying.

    Gary Vee's Car Rant and the Frozen Yogurt Crowd

    #

    Another Gary Vee video is played where he rants about regret and hustle; Tim mocks the audience this message is really aimed at and describes going down a 'Gary V k-hole' watching his daily videos.

    5moments
    • 21:20Tim describes Gary Vee's obsession with business as his vehicle for pushing lack of regret.
    • 22:08Gary Vee's advice about making one person happy and building to a thousand points.
    • 22:52Tim mocks Gary Vee's target audience as people who work at frozen yogurt places and can't get fired by their managers.

    • 23:32Tim fantasizes about Gary Vee coming to speak at a Goldman Sachs auditorium or conference.

    Darryl Davis, the Bargain Basement Motivational Speaker

    #

    Tim tells a story about his old mortgage company bringing in has-been motivational speaker Darryl Davis, a cheap knockoff of Gary Vee who once did stand-up at Caroline's, and describes seeing him shaking and smoking outside after his seminar.

    5moments
    • 24:02Tim worked in mortgages during the 2008 collapse and saw his company get swallowed by a larger one.
    • 24:22A motivational speaker named Darryl Davis was brought in to pump up the merged company.
    • 24:38One of Davis's actual credentials as a motivational speaker was performing comedy at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York City.
    • 25:08Davis gave a bargain-basement motivational speech at a Hilton in Melville.
    • 25:49After the speech, Tim saw Davis outside shaking and smoking a cigarette, then getting into an old Dodge Durango where his friend thought he was doing coke.

    Darryl Davis's Shoe Store Analogy and 'For Sale By Owner' Script

    #

    Video clips of Darryl Davis are played and mocked, including his shoe-store analogy for real estate listings and his cringeworthy scripted phone dialogue for calling for-sale-by-owner homeowners, allegedly invented by a 19th century Frenchman.

    10moments
    • 26:10Darryl Davis's shoe store analogy: real estate listings are like inventory in a shoe store, and agents without listings have an empty store.
    • 27:27Tim notes that every time an agent drives a buyer around, they're helping another agent sell their inventory instead of their own.
    • 27:53Tim observes that Davis speaks in run-on sentences with no periods, constantly reformulating every concept as a shoe store metaphor.
    • 28:18Davis claims an opportunity exists even for agents who haven't sold a house in a year, offering vague reassurance.
    • 28:50Tim watches a second Davis video where he reveals the 'secret dialogue' for calling for-sale-by-owner homeowners from Germany.
    • 29:46The opening line of Davis's script is simply 'I'm calling about your house for sale'—a baffling and generic greeting.
    • 30:03Tim compares Davis's sales tactics to old-school Glengarry Glen Ross-style aggressive real estate training.
    • 30:13Davis attributes for-sale-by-owner resistance techniques to a 19th-century Frenchman named Jacques Thiebaud and his training program.
    • 31:07Tim breaks down the absurdity of Davis's step three, where you're supposed to hide that you're a realtor to avoid immediate rejection.
    • 31:40The 'back door method' Davis teaches is essentially a deceptive way to avoid the polite rejection for-sale-by-owners are trained to give.

    Joe Castagna, the Mortgage Office's Failed Comedian

    #

    Tim recalls a coworker named Joe Castagna at his old mortgage firm who had bizarre nicknames and non-sequitur insults, did hacky joke-book comedy at office parties, and how hustlers and scammers often end up drawn to comedy.

    9moments
    • 31:58Darrell Davis was brought into failing mortgage and real estate outfits on Long Island where desperate, talentless people worked as salesmen.
    • 32:30Tim describes the sales pitch: calling for-sale-by-owner leads and asking if their property is available while claiming his wife left and took his kids.
    • 32:55Darrell claimed he did stand-up comedy at Caroline's and told a joke about running on a treadmill while holding a Tom Collins and asking someone about his cigarette.
    • 33:12Joe Castagna was a guy in Tim's mortgage firm who'd walk around calling people random names like "Dylenite" for no reason.
    • 33:28Castagna would make nonsensical observations like telling a man in a yellow tie that he looked like a piece of mustard.
    • 33:54Tim recalls Castagna cold-calling people on the phone, saying things like "Hey, it's Joe Castagna. Is this Arlene?" in a cartoonish way.
    • 34:17Castagna would do comedy at bars after monthly meetings by buying joke books and reciting jokes from them verbatim.
    • 34:42Tim notes how slimeball hucksters and scammers keep finding their way into comedy as a side thing.
    • 34:59People don't want to work; if you want money, you just get a scam and work it rather than doing honest labor.

    Fake Carrots: Blue Collar Jobs vs. the Gary V Dream, and 9/11 Questions to Gary Vee

    #

    Tim argues people ignore lucrative blue-collar jobs chasing influencer fantasies fed by guys like Gary Vee, then does a bit imagining asking Gary Vee about the 2000 Kuala Lumpur al-Qaeda summit and pre-9/11 intelligence failures, spiraling into a bit about ISIS as Gary Vee fans and charismatic radical clerics.

    13moments
    • 35:10Tim on Gary Vee listeners: nobody who listens to him is actually fun or has time for it.
    • 35:22Home health aides from recent immigrants make 70-80 grand a year wiping someone's asshole, but people won't do blue collar work.
    • 35:49Gary V tells people they'll be the next Deepak Chopra, but he's bullshit—there's no secret to getting ahead.
    • 36:41The fake carrot: people need Gary Vee's lies so they can stay lazy and not actually change.
    • 36:56Most people don't derive happiness from careers—they get it from family, which we destroyed to replace with writing for Reductress.
    • 37:20Tim asks Gary Vee about the 2000 al-Qaeda summit in Malaysia under FBI surveillance and why known terrorists were allowed into the U.S.
    • 37:58Gary Vee's hypothetical response: build your brand through social media, just like ISIS has done phenomenally.
    • 38:54Khalid Sheikh Mohammed supposedly emailed Gary Vee saying he hustled because of him—'rise and grind' by grinding a dull knife to decapitate slowly.
    • 39:26Low-level terrorists in positions like Anthony need a Gary Vee for the Muslim world to convince them to wear the vest.
    • 39:44Radical Islamic clerics are charismatic and hook people; they hook you with "we all want to live luxuriously, I love first class."
    • 40:28Catholic priests are boring and tortured, but one priest told Tim's grandmother she'd been preparing for death for decades—Cotton Mather energy.
    • 41:19With the collapse of traditional religion, the vortex is being filled with Gary V and ISIS.
    • 41:35Tim and the show have said "we prefer ISIS" so many times it's become a running bit.

    Gary Vee as Gollum and the 'Ponders Everything' Video

    #

    Tim jokes that Gary Vee physically resembles Gollum as an angel investor, argues against Gary Vee's claim that people are too cautious, and plays another rapid-cut hype video of Gary Vee that barely makes sense.

    9moments
    • 42:09Tim introduces a Gary Vee video he wants to play
    • 42:40Gary Vee looks like Gollum, specifically Gollum as an angel investor
    • 43:08Tim argues the premise of Vee's video—that people are too cautious—doesn't match reality
    • 43:34People on social media shoot their mouths off before knowing anything, not taking time to be contemplative
    • 44:05Vee spends minimal time on self-awareness; his books are all about crushing it and making money
    • 44:18Tim recalls Keith, a bus driver who loved his job and was happy—people need to know themselves first
    • 44:52High school seniors listen to the show and it resonates because they can't get this kind of talk elsewhere
    • 45:23Rogan's show has guys talking about Atlantis for nine hours; Tim's guests offer actionable information
    • 45:45Gary Vee's contradiction of Tim's beliefs is the reason to listen to the video

    Angela Cobb's GoFundMe and the Mental Illness Hustle

    #

    Tim reads from comedian Angela Cobb's GoFundMe campaign for anxiety and depression, contrasts it with genuine hardship cases, compares it to his own mother's mental illness, and riffs on people fantasizing about tragedy as a lottery ticket, plus a tangent about a childhood threat to kill himself on a bully's lawn.

    11moments
    • 47:06Angela Cobb, a New York comedian, ran a GoFundMe and managed to extract $8,125 from people in her comedy community.
    • 47:26Tim notes most GoFundMe campaigns require a serious crisis—a dead parent, cancer, car accident without insurance—before they succeed.
    • 47:52Angela Cobb's GoFundMe was open-ended; she kept incrementally raising the requested amount, claiming she has too much anxiety and depression to work a day job.
    • 48:10Tim points out the logical contradiction: she can't handle a regular job due to mental illness, but performs stand-up comedy every night, which he describes as extremely anxiety-producing.
    • 48:35He worked multiple jobs for years—sold copiers in Staten Island, worked on a tour bus—because he needed to support himself while pursuing comedy.
    • 49:10Angela Cobb does not have cancer or a documented medical crisis; her entire pitch is based on claiming general depression and anxiety.
    • 50:05Tim recounts how Angela quit a dog-walking job that Gary Vee had found for her partway through the second day because of anxiety.
    • 51:01Watching people use mental illness as a revenue stream bothers Tim, especially since his own mother is in a mental institution but doesn't use her condition to crowdfund.
    • 51:58Tim argues society has created an economy of lottery thinking, where people fantasize that a catastrophe like bone cancer or paralysis will be their big payday.
    • 54:00Gary Vee's real money comes from consulting for companies on social media strategy, not from the motivational speaking alone.
    • 54:12Gary Vee's entire business model centers on positioning himself as the expert who can teach others how to succeed with their own social media presence.

    How Gary Vee Actually Makes Money

    #

    Tim and Ray speculate on Gary Vaynerchuk's real revenue stream as a social media consultant for brands like Chobani, questioning whether his advertising advice for platforms like Snapchat and Vine actually delivers value.

    7moments
    • 54:18Gary Vee built his brand on bullshit and keeps delivering content he knows is bullshit, but people find value in it anyway.
    • 54:37Tim questions what value Chobani actually gets from being on Snapchat and whether 14-year-olds eating the product is even the goal.
    • 55:00Companies dump money on guys like Gary Vee because they don't know what they're doing in this Wild West of social media.
    • 55:35Tim's kernel of wisdom: make an app focused on showing your cock to people, then pivot—that's apparently the winning game plan.
    • 55:46Vine succeeded as cock roulette with hyper-sexualized content from 18-year-old kids jumping on beds, freeze-framing penises in boxer shorts.
    • 56:18Guys would steal freeze frames of penises from vines and create entire accounts around bulge content, becoming vine stars off dick pics.
    • 56:33The problem: extremely hard to monetize or advertise on a site dedicated to celebrity cock content, no matter how popular it gets.

    Vine Cock Roulette and Advertising on Justin Bieber's Junk

    #

    A riff on how Vine stars built followings around freeze-framed penis bulges and how impossible it would be to monetize or advertise around that content, tying back to their own show's lack of sponsors.

    8moments
    • 56:45Tim proposes advertising in porn as an untapped market opportunity.
    • 57:03Tim announces the show is open to brands wanting to advertise if they let him show his cock.
    • 57:25The shirt is subtle enough that people don't recognize it at glory holes or service roads.
    • 57:40Tim warns that wearing a TD shirt doesn't guarantee the person is safe to talk to.
    • 57:58Anyone wearing a TD shirt is confirmed to be impossible to offend on any topic.
    • 58:11Merchandise sales support the show; Who Took Johnny the musical is in development.
    • 58:24Who Took Johnny musical launching late summer or fall, requires age verification for participation.
    • 58:36Age requirements for the musical vary by state; applicants should email rather than DM.

    • 59:06The tour bus show is scheduled for June 14th between 8 and 10 PM in New York City on a double-decker bus
    • 59:19Tim plans to see if Ray is available and may add another date if the first sells out
    • 59:40He's going to flood social media and email his list tomorrow when tickets go on sale
    • 1:00:01The tour operators have been difficult to negotiate with, so this may be the only date available

    Bus Tour, Tour Dates, and Getting Arrested Outside a Building

    #Station Break

    Tim announces his double-decker bus tour show in NYC and rattles off upcoming tour dates in Poughkeepsie, Newport, and Denver, plus a bit imagining the group getting arrested for screaming 'Who took Johnny' outside a building.

    10moments
    • 1:00:28Tim proposes showing up outside an Upper East Side building wearing TV shirts and screaming about knowing people's kids, risking FBI gang charges.
    • 1:01:00Getting arrested outside a building demanding where Johnny went could result in Ralph facing RICO charges and becoming a state witness.
    • 1:01:16Tour dates: June 3rd in Poughkeepsie with Brett Raybould, June 10th at Newport Vines in Rhode Island, June 29-31 at Denver Comedy Works opening for Dan Soder.
    • 1:01:44Tim praises the second season of Billions and mentions Ray Donovan returning in summer.
    • 1:02:04June dates at the Stand Comedy Club and Caroline's in New York City; fans should check timdilloncomedy.com and follow on Twitter and Instagram.
    • 1:02:26Tim notes they're supposedly really popular in Cleveland and considering doing a live show there, possibly at a Cavs game.
    • 1:02:52They're negotiating a live show in Massachusetts soon, location not yet in Boston but near it.
    • 1:03:18Ray Komp has a show June 1st at the Village Lantern; Tim apologizes for canceling on comedian Fernandez, claiming he lied about a CIA writer situation.
    • 1:03:55Much Moor is described as a really good venue if you want a hot show, with the 9-11 Memorial mentioned as another option with ventilation.
    • 1:04:29Ten percent of the show is about potentially killing them for what they say; ninety percent is not caring, and Tim figures a wife one day will just end it all.

    Shannon's Dick-Pic Dating Show at Drexler's

    #Station Break

    Producer Shannon comes on mic to plug her live dating show requiring dick pic submissions to enter, leading into a riff about violent/passionate couples like the Island Park neighbors who beat each other up.

    10moments
    • 1:04:47Shannon is hosting a live dating show at Drexler's on Avenue A, where contestants had to submit dick pics to get selected for the panel.
    • 1:05:16Shannon hasn't had sex in two years, and by August it will be two years exactly.
    • 1:05:48The dating game format: guys submit dick pics for selection, then answer embarrassing questions while Shannon can't see them, and she picks a winner for a chaperoned date.
    • 1:06:27Tim discusses how guys photograph their dicks to look bigger, using perspective tricks and avoiding comparisons to objects like remotes or water bottles.
    • 1:06:47The contestants' dick pics are so impressive they're dangerous—guys with bodies like that have raging testosterone and might knock Shannon through a wall if she says no wrong.
    • 1:07:29Shannon likes muscular guys, guys who could physically overpower her if needed, because she wants someone who can push back if she gets mouthy.
    • 1:08:11Tim recalls living across the street from a couple named Joanne and Tato in Island Park who would beat the shit out of each other, spit on each other, and try to hit each other with cars, then tell cops they loved them.
    • 1:08:41Tim argues that despite the violence being wrong, Joanne and Tato are living exciting lives trying new things, unlike people in boring marriages watching Two and a Half Men.
    • 1:09:00The same woman, Joanne, once told Shannon she was gay years ago, said her brother was gay, and when Shannon denied it, she went home and kicked her husband's ass.
    • 1:09:14Event details: Drexler's on Avenue A between Houston and East Second, Memorial Day Monday May 29, with Jay and Ralph from the SDR show and a bunch of contestants.

    • 1:10:53The Lou Pearlman episode stands out as one of their greatest, exploring the inner story.
    • 1:11:22What they actually do is explore dark and evil things, making lists of evil people like Alan Dulles, Lou Pearlman, and Gary V.
    • 1:11:46Long Island listener stories didn't work because fans kept emailing about mundane experiences like going to a pool.

    Connor's R&B Song and the Sean Colvin/Bob Barr Song Bit

    #

    Tim critiques a listener-submitted R&B song, then he and Ray perform an improvised parody song referencing Sonny Came Home singer Sheen Colvin and libertarian also-ran Bob Barr's sparsely attended campaign rallies.

    11moments
    • 1:12:04Connor Ford sent Tim a song on Facebook that needs work on the vocals despite having good music.
    • 1:12:30Tim complains it's classless to send a song that isn't written about him and Raymond.
    • 1:12:48Kyle claims the students of Lake Top Wingo High School love the song, despite the school barely existing.
    • 1:13:25Tim mentions he spent years as an assistant producer for a low-level music company under Viacom.
    • 1:13:44He's never played someone's material on the show without approval, but says Connor's needs work if he wants to pursue music.
    • 1:14:29Tim was surprised Connor, a Texas skater, went R&B instead of something more like Sean Colvin.
    • 1:14:57A comic at South by Southwest insulted Sean Colvin by asking if she'd done anything since "Sunny Came Home," prompting Tim to defend her Grammy wins.
    • 1:15:35Tim launches into a parody song about "Sunny Came Home to the Colonel's house" with lyrics about caged kids and Gary Vee.
    • 1:16:34Bob Barr was a libertarian candidate with the only mustache Tim has ever seen on a politician.
    • 1:16:49Tim describes Bob Barr campaign rallies as sad events at Dunkin Donuts on Long Island with only three attendees.
    • 1:17:21Supporters of losing candidates like Bob Barr still have to make ridiculous claims about what he'll accomplish in office.
