    (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Oh, hi, Tim Dillon.

    2. TD

      Joe Rogan-

    3. JR

      (laughs)

    4. TD

      ... thank you for having me.

    5. JR

      My pleasure.

    6. TD

      Thank you for having me, sir. I appreciate it.

    7. JR

      My pleasure. That was-

    8. TD

      Dr-

    9. JR

      ... fun, going over to the club.

    10. TD

      It was amazing. It's gonna be great.

    11. JR

      Looks exciting.

    12. TD

      It's gonna be great. I'm excited about it. I'm excited and, uh, Louie was there.

    13. JR

      I'm glad we got him to look at too, he has some-

    14. TD

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      ... great notes.

    16. TD

      He's been, what would you say, 30 something? I mean, you guys have been around the same time, do you know?

    17. JR

      Yeah, he was a little bit before me but he's gotta be 35 years in now.

    18. TD

      So, he's been to every, every configuration of a comedy venue.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. TD

      So, and so have you probably. So you guys, hearing you guys talk about this place and that place, you now have all the benefit of all that knowledge to make your spot amazing.

    21. JR

      And we're doing it from scratch.

    22. TD

      Right.

    23. JR

      So we can just adjust, change, do things.

    24. TD

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Like, he had really good notes today.

    26. TD

      You have the money, you have the time, it's-

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. TD

      ... you have everything that would make it perfect.

    29. JR

      It's exciting.

    30. TD

      What about C- Cap City's gonna open too.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right. …

    1. TD

      just ... With a few good decisions, with a few good decisions-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. TD

      You're ... I mean, you're, you've, you're ... You got a B. You're gonna get a billion.

    4. JR

      Ooh.

    5. TD

      And Kevin could too, but you're, you're up there and it's w- it's wild to see, you know?

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. TD

      It's g- And you deserve it, but, you know, I'm horribly jealous.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. TD

      And ev- every minute I say, "It should be me."

    10. JR

      (laughs) "It should be me."

    11. TD

      Like, every minute. I tell Ben, I go, "It should be me."

    12. JR

      Well, you're already on a fucking pretty-

    13. TD

      Oh, Patreon?

    14. JR

      ... stratospheric ride.

    15. TD

      That's nothing. That's embarrassing, but you're on the way up.

    16. JR

      Yeah, but you're on the way up.

    17. TD

      Well, that's very nice of you to say.

    18. JR

      Yeah, it's ... This is just the beginning. I mean, if you go back onto my podcast 10 years ago, I wasn't making any money.

    19. TD

      Well, i- what's weird right now is that, like ... It is weird. We were just talking about, like ... Society is w- weird in the sense that there is a lot of money and then there's a lot of problems, and we're learning that money doesn't fix all the problems. This is something interesting.

    20. JR

      Yeah.

    21. TD

      You can throw money at things and it's not fixed, right?

    22. JR

      Sometimes it creates problems.

    23. TD

      Sometimes it creates problems. And then you're at a very interesting place where you go, "Well, California's got a $21 billion surplus." And you go, "You should be able to just fic- fix it." Homelessness, whatever.

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. TD

      $21 billion, more than you thought you would have. But, you realize that human beings gum that system up a lot and you go, "Oh, it's not as easy as we think to just fix something with money." You know?

    26. JR

      How does California ever get fixed? 'Cause when we were just talking about it in the lobby about-

    27. TD

      Yeah. It has the most stunning natural beauty of any state. It has so many things that are positive, but then there are so many problems, and those problems seem insurmountable.

    28. JR

      Now.

    29. TD

      Now.

    30. JR

      But they didn't three, four years ago.

  3. 30:0045:00

    It's definitely a good…

    1. TD

      go, "What the fuck?" And people need to situate themselves in the universe and they don't know how to do it. And they're going, "Dude, I'm... Like, this rock is spinning and I don't know what's going on." And e- every day, there's a new edict about what you can say, what's real and what's not, and people are going back to things that root them, and one of them is religion. And I think religion has a lot of positives. I mean, there's some negatives, but I think r- religion has positives, for sure.

    2. JR

      It's definitely a good moral scaffolding for a lot of people.

    3. TD

      You need something to ground you, make you humble, make you realize that you are living, uh, for a finite amount of time on Earth. You should treat people with respect. There's c- a code is good, to have a moral code. I'm not saying what yours should be or not. But just the constant stuffing money down your throat, having tons of meaningless sex, you know, constantly obsessing over material things, these are probably a...... ultimately spiritually empty things.

    4. JR

      Definitely.

    5. TD

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. TD

      I'm starting a church, by the way.

    8. JR

      That's the only way to get out of this. We need a new church.

    9. TD

      We need a new church, and me and Caitlyn Jenner are starting a church. It, uh, it's for progressive rich people-

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. TD

      ... that are also racist.

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. TD

      It's important to have a, a religion that recognizes, as a gay person who doesn't really... You know, gays are fine, and Caitlyn doesn't really like trans people. So, we are the figureheads of the church, and we are ministering mainly to rich heterosexuals.

    14. JR

      Do you get heat from the gay population?

    15. NA

      (clapping)

    16. TD

      The, the gay people get upset at you?

    17. JR

      No, they don't really care that much. I mean, they would if they knew more about me.

    18. TD

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      But they're just, they're in their own world. Everyone's in their own world now.

    20. TD

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      So if you're in my little podcast world, you're in that. If you're in a other world, if you watch SNL, it's a different world. We're on a different planet. If you watch SNL every week, like, like put it on and go, "Ah!" Like if you're... Then we're on a dif- You don't know, you don't know who I am. And you would hate me if you knew about me, but you don't even know who I am. So everybody's kind of doing their own thing. And if you listen to me every week, or if you watch me and Christina and Tom on the live stream watch people, like, crush penises with stilettos or whatever those sick fucks are watching.

    22. TD

      (sighs)

    23. JR

      I mean, then yeah, it's just different worlds. What they're doing over there at your mom's house-

    24. TD

      It's brilliant.

    25. JR

      ... is fucking wild.

    26. TD

      It's wild.

    27. JR

      It's wild. No one's ever done it before, to have a pay-per-view completely uncensored. I mean, it's like the worst of LiveLeak-

    28. TD

      Yes.

    29. JR

      ... the worst of...

    30. TD

      It feels very old school internet.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    What do we have?…

    1. TD

      We're like, "They have supersonic weapons." We're the only ones who've used the fucking weapons. We're the only ones who've really used nukes. So, I'm pretty sure that whatever some monster thought of, we also have. We've also got a lot of shit.

    2. JR

      What do we have? Does the US have supersonic weapons?

    3. TD

      Well, we won't even know. We don't know what we have.

    4. JR

      I think they said they're testing them, right? Haven't they said that?

    5. TD

      (laughs)

    6. JV

      I- I- Yes, but we also wouldn't know what the fuck we have.

    7. JR

      We don't know what we have.

    8. TD

      Right.

    9. JV

      They fucking test.

    10. JR

      That's the problem.

    11. TD

      Who knows what we have? But w- w- we gotta get on the same page here. You know what I mean? Like, we need to just fucking cut the bullshit. Stop. Just have fucking rules. Stop with the, you can be trans when you're 17.

    12. JR

      17?

    13. TD

      17, but not fully. You have to do a summer of, like, fake trans, and then 18, as soon as we'll d- If- If- If we can draft you into war, you can go chop yourself, but you're going to war. You know what I mean? Trans people get free operations, but they do two years in the military.

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. TD

      Boom. Done. Done. It's over. Roe v. Wade, you have to have your children, but you have to give the babies. We have to have them. They give- They go right into, like, some... We conscript them into something. They go mine Bitcoin or whatever.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. TD

      Have to have your baby, we take it now. Property of the state. Fine. Be more responsible. There's ways to do it. We can solve all these problems. Y- Here's the thing with the cops. They- You can't defund them, they have to be there, but you should be able to slap them occasionally. Citizens should be able to slap the police and the police can't do anything back. So there's gotta be ways and rules to fix it, 'cause otherwise we're just gonna have all these problems forever. You know?

    18. JR

      But what kind of... Like, in all seriousness-

    19. TD

      Yes.

    20. JR

      ... what kind of rules could be established that would unite people?

    21. TD

      Well, I-

    22. JR

      Is it a rule thing or is it a leader thing? Like, if we had a leader that united people.

    23. TD

      You need a leader. You need somebody who can say, "Listen, everybody..." 'Cause everybody is both things inside of them, like, whether they know it or not. Like, everybody is a psychopathic Texas gun nut and everybody is a fat, blue-haired dyke in Portland. We all have those two things in us. We all have a crazy meat-in-the-woods Proud Boy and an Antifa fat bitch in us. And we have to make sure that the fusion of those two things is what makes us great. You know? We all have those two things. All of us get mad at corporations and wanna burn them down, but we don't go into the Portland Center and throw eggs at a Starbucks 'cause we're sane. And then all of us get mad when, like, I don't know, like, somebody... Whatever. Like, i- at a fast food place someone of a different race doesn't get our order right. We all get mad, but we don't go into the woods with a burning cross because we have things to do.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. TD

      So, what we have to realize is that we're Americans, you know? We're deeply selfish monsters that have been bred to destroy all life on Earth. We can't... We have to not lose sight of that message. We're here to fuck things up for everyone else, not each other. And that's what we had in the '80s and the '90s. We had a commitment to apathy while our leaders ran around pillaging the Earth, and we made great movies and great art and it was fine. Yes, people got killed, but people always get killed. But now we're- we're at war with each other. We're- We- We should just be enjoying the spoils of the end of the empire, truly.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. TD

      We should be enjoying it. People- So many people got killed, murdered, tortured, maimed for us to have all the nice things we have. Do you know how insane it is to not enjoy it? You know how crazy it is to not enjoy a McMansion, a flat screen TV, a McFlurry? You know how big- how much blood is in the street for those things? And people act like they don't even matter and they're fighting about all this bullshit. It's crazy. Anyway, that's the truth. That's the real truth. Nobody wants to hear it, but that is the truth. We have... A lot of these things are nice, but some of them are ill-gotten gains. Fine. You know? Not everybody picking tomatoes is happy about it. But have you ever had a good, like, a nice Jersey thick beefsteak tomato? It's good. Imagine having one and then fighting with someone about something. It's stupid. If there's a hell in the world going, and if there's not, we get reincarnated when we're, uh, beetles or something. But just enjoy it. And nobody wants to enjoy it, and that's what makes me upset, is that we used to have a- a country built on enjoyment, built on fat, stupid people enjoying the work of a small group of demons, and now we can't even enjoy it.

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. TD

      Can't even have fun.

    30. JR

      (laughs) Do you know what I think unites us?

  5. 1:00:001:10:57

    It, to me, it's-…

    1. JR

    2. TD

      It, to me, it's-

    3. JR

      Can I see it again?

    4. TD

      (clears throat)

    5. JR

      From the very beginning. You don't see it at all.

    6. TD

      It's weird that that's the only video of this thing.

    7. JR

      Is this...

    8. JV

      That's the only frame you can see something else before the airplane.

    9. TD

      9/11, there's a million different planes.

    10. JR

      That looks like a plane.

    11. TD

      It, it's, it, you, but you can't tell what kind of plane, you don't know how big it is. You don't, you, all you see is white.

    12. JR

      Let me see that again.

    13. TD

      Unless there's-

    14. JR

      That looks like a fucking plane to me.

    15. TD

      They analyze this actually brilliantly in a documentary called 9/11: The New Pearl Harbor, and they actually talk about this exact video that was released and the frame rate and everything like that. But it is impossible to know if that thing that you're seeing-

    16. JR

      But look how big it is. It looks like a plane.

    17. TD

      It, it, it, all you're seeing is a, a streak of white.

    18. JR

      Right.

    19. JV

      That's all you can see.

    20. JR

      But look, but look at that right there. Tell me that doesn't look like a plane.

    21. TD

      I have no idea what the hell that is.

    22. JR

      But doesn't it look like a plane?

    23. TD

      I have no idea what-

    24. JR

      Okay-

    25. TD

      ... kind of plane-

    26. JR

      If I-

    27. TD

      ... how big it is.

    28. JR

      If I, if I said to you, "Do you think that that is a house?"

    29. TD

      I wouldn't say it's a house.

    30. JR

      It's not a flying house.
