Find a Little Lesbian Donut Shop: Living Small and Local
from Wicked?, A Terrible Life, & The Golden Age Of Travel | The Tim Dillon Show #472 · #472
5 min
Tim advocates for a simple local life—finding a coffee shop, an Italian restaurant, a bar, a gym—instead of chasing crypto riches, Dubai kidnapping fears, or empty jet-setting.
- Tim on excessive travel in America being motivated by the false belief that meaning exists elsewhere.
- Find a little lesbian donut shop, get coffee, walk your dog—stop overcomplicating life.
- The donuts must be made fresh on-site by a lesbian, not shipped in or bought pre-made.
- Build a local life: visit an Italian restaurant called Mama, a Chinese restaurant, a bar with a bartender you know.
- Tim questions the purpose of traveling to Vegas in 20 minutes to see a DJ and risk dying at a club.
- Find a nice small town with good restaurants and a pub—there aren't many left but they still exist.
- Story about a crypto-rich guy at lunch who constantly thinks he'll be kidnapped despite his wealth.
- Tim advocates eating shepherd's pie at your local pub instead of living in Dubai paranoid about kidnapping.
- Leave LA—nobody cares about your screenplay; go be a teacher in Vermont instead.
- Teachers are lazy, do almost nothing, make a hundred grand, and get summers off to do whatever they want.
- Collecting experiences that don't lead anywhere just telegraphs status; have local fun with people you're comfortable around.
- Everyone has overcomplicating their lives to an unimaginable degree; high-profile friends aren't happier than anyone else.
- Tim's not going to stop being friends with successful people just to be friends with regular folks.
