Realtors as Fake-Nice Psychopaths

from #289 - Live From Ukraine | The Tim Dillon Show · #289

6 min

An extended riff on realtors' jobs being built entirely on fake pleasantries, comparing them to prostitutes and arguing that mediocrity is the industry norm, similar to talent agents and managers.

In this bit9 moments
  • Realtors' entire job is being fake nice to everyone, a psychopathic personality trait they've developed.
  • A realtor's job consists entirely of small talk and fake niceness — you'll never discuss anything real with them.
  • When something interrupts a realtor's world of pleasantries, they view it as the gravest offense and struggle to show genuine emotion.
  • A good realtor is like a prostitute offering the girlfriend experience, making you believe they care while actually wanting money to bail their son out of jail.
  • Tim loves seeing a fake-nice person lose their composure, watching them revert to their true form like Cinderella's carriage becoming a pumpkin.
  • Most realtors aren't particularly bright and are terrible at problem-solving, unlike the exceptional one Tim uses now.
  • Realtors, agents, and managers operate under an unspoken rule that being bad is acceptable because everyone else is also bad.
  • Being slightly above bad in entertainment and real estate industries makes you great, spawning books and movies about you.
  • If you're only slightly better than the part-time divorced housewife realtors trying to make a quick buck, you become genuinely good at the job.
