Closing Riff: Shut Your Mind Off and Land the Flip
from #262 - We're Back | The Tim Dillon Show · #262
3 min
Tim closes with an extended mock pep-talk returning to the Simone Biles bit, telling her (and the audience) to silence their minds about death, love, and meaning and just perform, ending the show on 'good luck out there, don't get sick, get smart.'
- Sports connect us to a reality of the body, not the mind—great feats requiring physical and mental acuity.
- The world of the mind is garbage and will never be anything but a circle jerk; the mind is the problem.
- Tim's coaching advice: shut your mind off, don't think about 9/11, your life, love, death, family, or anything else.
- Don't think about the freaks they're not letting you take out, or that pedophile, or that everyone's a pedophile—just balance and flip.
- You'll land the flip because when you shut your mind off and let your body take over, you get the results you've always been getting.
- We need a champion—you are our champion, so learn to quiet your mind.
- Do something meaningless and stupid but do it perfectly, because that's life: meaningless and silly, but impressive when executed well.
