from #269 - The Activist | The Tim Dillon Show · #269

4 min

Tim discusses why rich celebrities skip the vaccine due to access to concierge medicine, then riffs on how sudden fame/wealth (using Shia LaBeouf as an example) warps people's understanding of reality and leads to conspiracy beliefs like flat earth.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim explains that having money gives him access to better medical treatment, so he still got the vaccine despite his health issues.
  • He paid ten thousand dollars for a concierge doctor who told him his metabolism is flawed and runs extensive tests.
  • Celebrities refuse vaccines because they're in good shape and have access to the best medical care.
  • Tim has talked to A-list celebrities who believe the world is flat.
  • A lot of people in Hollywood are hot, stupid, and don't know why they're there because they have bazillions of dollars.
  • Many young celebrities got rich early without the struggle, unlike Tim who started doing well recently at 36.
  • Shia LaBeouf made a movie about sleeping in a motel but wasn't actually struggling that hard or for that long.
  • A lot of celebrities exaggerate or fabricate their rags-to-riches stories, like Kathy Griffin's joke about Jules sleeping in a car.
  • When young people make a lot of money without earning it through struggle, they start to invent conspiracy theories to explain the world.
  • These celebrities have adult responsibilities but may not have adult brains, so they get into beliefs that aren't based in reality.
