Cold Open: "Just Be Nice" and Loot Target
from #202 - Puppies Rainbows Candy Lamborghinis | The Tim Dillon Show · #202
3 min
Tim opens with a sarcastic riff on people demanding niceness and civility in the wake of George Floyd's murder, mocking the reverence for corporations like Target and dismantling the idea that looting big-box stores is a real tragedy.
- Tim opens with the show's ethos: 'just be nice,' questioning whether that applies even to cops who murder people
- Why would anyone damage Target? It's 'uncle Target,' our family, more important than people
- Corporations are made of slaves and drones, not real people
- Communities being burned down — the people doing it don't own the community because laws prevented them from doing so
- Those people didn't inherit homes with nice lawns or get small business loans, so they don't feel connected to the community the way Tim does
- Tim's actual position: you should be looting Target every day, regardless of what cops do
