   10. TDTim Dillon0:18

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       You brought me a, a nice conspiracy book.

   12. TDTim Dillon0:21

       I want you back.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       Nice. (laughs)

   14. TDTim Dillon0:22

       I want you back. (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       (laughs) I got bored with it.

   16. TDTim Dillon0:25

       I'm... Yeah, I get ya. I know.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       I just had a, uh, a-

   18. TDTim Dillon0:28

       (coughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       ... a lunch with-

   20. TDTim Dillon0:29

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       ... Erich von Däniken.

   22. TDTim Dillon0:31

       Oh, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       And, uh, uh, he's the author of Chariots of the Gods. The last two hours we've been talking ancient aliens.

   24. TDTim Dillon0:36

       I was deep... When I was, like, in- in my late teens, I was deep in Zecharia Sitchin-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Yeah.

   26. TDTim Dillon0:41

       ... Anunnaki-

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Yeah.

   28. TDTim Dillon0:43

       ... Nephilium. I'm pronouncing it wrong.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah. Nephilium, I think.

   30. TDTim Dillon0:45

       Nephilium.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Gotta do what you…

   1. TDTim Dillon15:00

      uh, private gigs, sad, but you gotta, you know. It is what it is.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Gotta do what you gotta do.

   3. TDTim Dillon15:03

      Gotta do what you gotta do. I go to the Bethesda Country Club, Maryland, um, it's, the entire 10 counties around Washington, DC are the wealthiest counties in the world. I mean, in, in our country. They, and it's not because they're selling crab cakes, you know what I mean?

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      Right.

   5. TDTim Dillon15:18

      It's all defense industry, Raytheon, uh, you know, DynCorp, things you've never heard of and they were all, uh, and they were, it was a good gig, they were funny. I, I got up and I was like, "What are we, are we, uh, carving up Venezuela?" They all laugh.

   6. YJYoung Jamie15:29

      (laughs)

   7. TDTim Dillon15:29

      They're all clapping. They're into it. You know, they liked it. They, some people get, and I was like-

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:33

      Right.

   9. TDTim Dillon15:33

      ... I was like, I, I said last week I did a fundraiser for human trafficking victims, this week I'm with the traffickers, you guys are a lot more fun.

   10. YJYoung Jamie15:40

       (laughs)

   11. TDTim Dillon15:40

       And they're clapping. They're cla- they love it.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Oh, that's funny.

   13. TDTim Dillon15:41

       They're leaning in to being-

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Well, that's good.

   15. TDTim Dillon15:43

       They're fake.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Leaning in to being... (laughs)

   17. YJYoung Jamie15:46

       (laughs)

   18. TDTim Dillon15:46

       (laughs) They're m- they're, you know.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       Yeah.

   20. TDTim Dillon15:47

       They're morally compromised.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       Well, they're also hired a comedian to fuck with them.

   22. TDTim Dillon15:52

       Yes. That's a good point.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they, they expected it. It's not like it came outta nowhere.

   24. TDTim Dillon15:55

       Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, it's like, so that's the thing, it's like Trump bad, but I don't know what the geospatial people are up to.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       Right.

   26. TDTim Dillon16:02

       I don't have to th- I don't wanna throw my hat in with geospatial intelligence.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:06

       Yeah. I don't know what that means. I mean, maybe we need it. What, you know, but listen, again, two standup comedians talking about what the world needs.

   28. TDTim Dillon16:15

       Right. Yeah, it's not great.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       It's, it's fucking terrible.

   30. TDTim Dillon16:17

       It's not great.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. TDTim Dillon30:00

      thing-

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      Yeah.

   3. TDTim Dillon30:00

      ... so people get fed up with this. And dude, when I was... had my tour bus, people would get on for regular places like Pennsylvania and I would just point and go, "$10 million, $20 million, $30 mil-" And these people would just shift uncomfortably in their seats like, "What the hell's going on-"

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Right.

   5. TDTim Dillon30:13

      "... here?" This is the... You know, I saw Trump getting elected during those tours because I'm like, "$100 million," and they're like sitting there like, "What? I can't afford a knee operation."

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:23

      Well the idea that Trump's not a part of that is even more crazy.

   7. TDTim Dillon30:25

      He is. Well listen, in his bui- his building was a huge destination. Russians love his building.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:30

      Yeah.

   9. TDTim Dillon30:31

      They love it. They love a brand name, they love the plaza, they love his building, and a lot of interesting characters lived in Trump Tower.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       Didn't they take the Trump Tower name off of it?

   11. TDTim Dillon30:41

       In New York?

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Yeah. Wasn't there-

   13. TDTim Dillon30:42

       No, I don't think so.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       One of them... It was one of the buildings where the, the people that own the co-op decided to take the name off of it.

   15. TDTim Dillon30:47

       Oh, maybe.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Remember that?

   17. TDTim Dillon30:48

       Well there's a lot of, there's a lot of shitty like Trump nursing homes too.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Really?

   19. TDTim Dillon30:51

       As you drive into New York. Oh yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       He owns nursing homes?

   21. TDTim Dillon30:53

       You know those elderly people are getting beaten. It's hard, sad.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       (laughs)

   23. TDTim Dillon30:58

       (laughs) Joe, you know they're getting fleeced and beaten.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       Oh.

   25. TDTim Dillon31:00

       You, you go by, you see, like, Trump Pavilion. It's like a Soviet-era architecture, horrible, like, old age home that's been there-

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       Mm-hmm.

   27. TDTim Dillon31:07

       ... since the '70s. And I'm like, "Man, I feel for the people in there."

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       Oh.

   29. TDTim Dillon31:11

       The screams.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       (laughs)
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Yeah.

   2. TDTim Dillon45:00

      If you're, if someone in your family's mentally ill, you're not making fun of them, you're... it's your problem.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      The difference is, between East Coast and West Coast comedy, is that West Coast comedy, they hold that carrot of a sitcom-

   4. TDTim Dillon45:11

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      ... or, uh, you know, hosting The Tonight Show or something like that-

   6. TDTim Dillon45:13

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      ... above your head.

   8. TDTim Dillon45:14

      We have health insurance.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      It's, it's always there. East Coast comedy is-

   10. TDTim Dillon45:18

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:18

       ... just be funny.

   12. TDTim Dillon45:19

       Be funny until you die.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       Be funny and, and mean. There's a lot of meanness.

   14. TDTim Dillon45:23

       And it gets cold-

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       It gets cold in the winter.

   16. TDTim Dillon45:25

       It's cold and mean, and that's wh-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Yeah.

   18. TDTim Dillon45:26

       You know, it's... But you know what I like about West Coast comedy too is it's a lot of performing 'cause the, the rooms are big.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Yes.

   20. TDTim Dillon45:31

       The venues are big. East Coast rooms are a little smaller, so you have a lot of, like, writers.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Right.

   22. TDTim Dillon45:36

       I love the performing style, so I kinda like seeing people in the store with big acts.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Yeah, there's not a lot of room to move, like, if you're at, at The Stand or, you know-

   24. TDTim Dillon45:45

       The Cellar or something.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       ... standing up in New York.

   26. TDTim Dillon45:46

       Yeah, they're a little small.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Yeah, they're, they're tight little rooms. You can't-

   28. TDTim Dillon45:49

       Yeah, you still have-

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       ... you can't move around on stage.

   30. TDTim Dillon45:49

       ... there are some great performers in those rooms that rock out-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:03:55

   It's like a great…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      those prom shows, though. They were packed.

   2. TDTim Dillon1:00:01

      It's like a great joke about, like, Nanette that, uh, my buddy Nick Mullen, who's an amazingly funny comedian said, he's like, "Nanette? No one's seen it. It's just a trailer."

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      Does it- (laughs)

   4. TDTim Dillon1:00:09

      Like, "No one's seen Nanette. It's just a trailer." And everyone's like, "It's brave. It's brilliant."

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      It's amazing. It's my number one...

   6. TDTim Dillon1:00:14

      And it's just a trailer. It literally doesn't exist. So maybe, I don't know. But it is, it's one of those rooms in New York that's kind of haunting.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

      Yeah, it's a strange place. Did you ever listen to The Day the Laughter Died?

   8. TDTim Dillon1:00:24

      No.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

      It's Dice Clay's double album that he filmed there.

   10. TDTim Dillon1:00:27

       Oh, wow.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       With no audience. No one knew he was coming. He had no material. Zero.

   12. TDTim Dillon1:00:34

       That's amazing.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       He just started talking about shit and ad-libbing things.

   14. TDTim Dillon1:00:37

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       And he was as big as a fucking comedian could be at the time. And he called it The Day the Laughter Died.

   16. TDTim Dillon1:00:43

       Wow.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       Rick Rubin produced it.

   18. TDTim Dillon1:00:44

       That's amaz- No, I've heard of it, but I didn't know it was so...

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       It's fucking brilliant-

   20. TDTim Dillon1:00:48

       It's amazing.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       ... and terrible at the same time.

   22. TDTim Dillon1:00:50

       Really?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:50

       Some guy gets up in the middle of a set, he goes, "You're about as funny as a glass of milk."

   24. TDTim Dillon1:00:54

       Oh my God.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

       (laughs)

   26. TDTim Dillon1:00:55

       What a polite, what a polite heckle.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:57

       (laughs)

   28. TDTim Dillon1:00:57

       What an old-fashioned heckle. I've never heard that.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       He's some fucking guy from-

   30. TDTim Dillon1:01:00

       Usually people are like, "Shut up, faggot."
