Fighting Nihilism With Radical Self-Promotion
from #166 - You're A Disgrace | The Tim Dillon Show · #166
2 min
Tim pivots from conspiracy despair to advocating 'radical self-promotion' as the antidote, using an anecdote about a podcast client who wants to get hot girls in a hot tub to boost engagement regardless of substance.
- Start an Instagram page for your cat or lose your mind — make the little things the big things.
- Tim was hired to produce a podcast where the host pitched filling a hot tub with women as his content strategy.
- The podcast host's philosophy: people are stupid, so forget inspiration — just show guns, flamethrowers, gold chains, and fake breasts.
- A cat video where the cat claims to be a cow, puts french fries in her nose, and gets 54 million views.
- Tim tried making topical, funny videos with good angles, and was told that trying is the first mistake.
- Nothing makes less sense in this world than trying — Tim wanted to slap himself for even saying the word.
