Biden's State of the Union: The Lazarus Drug
from Biden's SOTU & The Lazarus Drug | The Tim Dillon Show #383 · #383
2 min
Tim opens by reacting to Biden's energetic State of the Union performance, joking that Biden is on some miracle drug ("The Lazarus Drug") that makes him coherent for brief bursts, comparing it to George W. Bush's verbal flubs becoming normalized.
- Biden is on some drug that's working—he looked genuinely good at the State of the Union.
- The aesthetic was like he came to a party, doing crowd work and going off script with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- Tim compares Biden's speech patterns to George W. Bush, who couldn't speak but people got used to it as a fun thing.
- Biden's flubs are becoming predictable—he searches for words, pauses awkwardly, but eventually finds them, keeping viewers hanging on.
- Biden caught himself mid-sentence about Moscow, doubled back, and saved it—showing some self-awareness in the moment.
- The debates are going to be brutal, with viewers hanging on every word he says, but his unpredictability has made him exciting again.
