Dying of Exhaustion With a Rotisserie Chicken (and Suburban Coke Binges)
from Celebrating 250 Years: A Very Special Episode | The Tim Dillon Show #502 · #502

Tim describes American overwork as heroic, imagining someone collapsing dead in a parking lot with a rotisserie chicken, then extends into a long riff about being alone doing cocaine in an empty McMansion at night plotting a comeback while family has left.
- Winning kills you — Americans work themselves to death trying to succeed.
- Someone collapsing from exhaustion in a supermarket parking lot is a soldier to be respected.
- The image of a rotisserie chicken falling from someone's hands as they die is what American sacrifice looks like.
- Sitting alone in a McMansion thinking about killing yourself while watching UFC and looking at cocaine on a glass table.
- Doing bumps in empty rooms where you thought your children would live, gacked out and considering getting the gun.
- Cooking up schemes in the middle of the night — maybe pitch a reality show, become a reality family.
- Being on cocaine in the suburbs in the middle of the night trying to figure out your life is a distinctly American thing.
- Coming down from coke by trying to jerk off is horrible, and you're stuck in a house where all the other lights are off.
- You've got a plan while the rest of the sheep on the block are asleep and content — you're going to go higher and further.
- Having vengeful thoughts in your backyard at night, high on cocaine in a home your wife and children left because of your violent tendencies, is distinctly American and beautiful.
