Best Podcast Guests: Peterson, Bob Lazar, Oliver Stone's JFK Documentary
from #283 - Joe Rogan | The Tim Dillon Show · #283
4 min
Joe runs through memorable guests like Jordan Peterson, Bob Lazar, Elon Musk, and Oliver Stone, discussing Stone's new 4-hour JFK assassination documentary and how he only books people he's personally curious about.
- Tim calls Bob Lazar episode great but expresses uncertainty about whether Lazar is credible or just very entertaining.
- Tim describes the Cuddle Party format with Shane Gillis, Mark Norman, and Ari Shaffir where they get drunk and say controversial things, then panic about whether to cut it.
- Only Yianni Pappas came on the show where they couldn't use any of the episode because he attacked Ali Wong and revealed he's mentally unwell.
- Tim explains he wears many hats as a podcaster, interviewing scientists, environmental writers, psychologists, comedians, fighters, and inventors in one strange gig.
- Tim describes his booking process: he seeks people out and has to personally want them to come on—there's literally no other way to get on the show.
- Someone once paid Tim's friend $25,000 to get a guest on the podcast, but Tim would have had the guest anyway without revealing that.
- Oliver Stone recently appeared on the show and Tim praises his new JFK documentary, which is four hours long and will drop everywhere after its Showtime run ends in February.
- The four-hour version of Stone's JFK film goes even deeper in proving it was a coup, making the case more airtight than the two-hour version.
- The podcast operates on Tim's interests alone—if he wants to talk to someone, they get him on the show.
