from Degree Of Difficulty | The Tim Dillon Show #365 · #365
3 min
Tim opens by comparing tackling this week's episode to an Olympic gymnastics routine with a high degree of difficulty, and explains that Barry Weiss was supposed to co-host but bailed because it's been a heavy week for Israel-related bookings.
- Tim opens with the gymnastics metaphor: this week's show has a high degree of difficulty, with lots of maneuvers he's unfamiliar with and real trouble during practice.
- No matter what he says today, somebody will be upset he didn't say more, said the wrong thing, or meant something different—there's no way to avoid it.
- Tim describes himself as one of the greatest minds of our time and notes that watching him put together show segments in real time must be one of the greatest joys in what he imagines is a horrible life on the other end of the camera.
- Barry Weiss was supposed to come on the show but ghosted him at the last minute because it's been a bad week for Israel.
- Tim demonstrates the high degree of difficulty by noting he just swerved on the balance beam but stayed on it while discussing Barry Weiss's newfound demand.
- Barry Weiss had the chance to come speak her piece, but now Tim will do the show on his own with his own ideas instead.
