Not Wanting Lunch with Journalists, and the Vaccine
from #238 - Keep Your Mouth Shut | The Tim Dillon Show · #238

Tim explains his wariness of cozying up to journalists and public figures who want to "own" him, name-drops wanting to have lunch with Jordan Peterson, and riffs on his ambivalence about getting the COVID vaccine.
- Tim refuses lunch invitations from journalists because he knows what they want.
- He'd rather have lunch with Jordan Peterson because Peterson is actually interesting and has been through interesting things.
- Tim proposes poking fun at the intellectual dark web instead of treating it as sacred ground.
- His job is to make fun of everybody, so he can't get too deep into any particular ideological world or crusade.
- Tim won't spend every waking hour worrying about trans athletes in women's sports when he's already stated his position.
- His take on kids and gender: let a four-year-old wear a dress, but don't start shooting them up with hormones.
- On the vaccine: Tim doesn't love it but admits it might be better than COVID, and he'll probably need it to work.
- Tim imagines himself standing outside vaccination sites asking people if they really know what's happening to them.
