Hawk Tuah Girl and Learning to Stop Being Shocked
from Joe Biden & Something Different | The Tim Dillon Show #398 · #398
5 min
Tim pivots to a broader philosophy of not being shocked by absurd events, using the sudden fame and talent-agency deal of the 'Hawk Tuah' girl as the prime example of something people pretend to be shocked by but shouldn't be.
- It's not the time to be enraged that Hawk Tuah Girl has been signed to a talent agency—work with her instead of staying indignant.
- Tim shifts to a positive outlook because people discovering apocalyptic language and doom-posting in the last week are bothering him.
- Most people in the country are looking at reality for the first time, peering through the blinds at the terminal decline of the empire.
- His family is behind on things like NFTs, still complaining years later about scams they don't understand.
- People should be learning from past scams to identify the next one, not doing postmortems on ones they weren't part of.
- Tim describes being surrounded by Harvard, Yale, and Princeton grads asking if he can believe Hawk Tuah Girl got signed to a talent agency.
- His answer: yes, he can believe it—in fact, it shocked him it took this long, and why didn't they sign her themselves.
- The biggest rapper at the party is the white prep school kid, but that's believable too in this moment.
