from #242 - You're Money Now | The Tim Dillon Show · #242
8 min
Tim muses on realizing he doesn't need most relationships after a year of isolation, jokes about dreading seeing his mother and family again, and jokes about praying for a new COVID variant to avoid social obligations, plus a riff on immigrant detention centers and NFT-ing children out of cages.
- Tim says he'd kill himself when forced to see his friends again, unlike young people killing themselves from having no friends.
- Not having friends is a mark of virtue and actually biblical—Christ didn't have any friends.
- Tim predicts people will immediately start complaining about reopening once stores get crowded again.
- LA traffic is back and people are throwing piñatas on Malibu beaches now that everything has reopened.
- Tim's mother is locked in a nursing home and he's only been able to wave at her through the window and suggest NFTs.
- If you didn't talk to someone over the past year, the pandemic showed you didn't actually need them.
- All Tim needs is Ben and 500,000 domestic terrorists watching on the other side of the camera.
- Tim prays every day for a new pandemic strain to avoid having to see people and attend Thanksgiving.
- When you let kids out of the ICE cage, many say it sucked inside but wherever they're put next is also bad.
- Tim asks if immigrant children detained at the border could be sold as NFTs to raise money to release them.
