Shopify.com audioboom Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. It is the last week, I believe, with the summer background that we really have not used only a few times. Um, I spent a lot of time this summer in LA shooting a show that comes out, a special event that comes out on October 1st on Netflix. I'll say very little about it. I'll say more about it later. Um, but it's about trans Israeli volleyball players in Russia. No, it's about. It's a resurrection of a genre of television. I believe the country deserves again. That is my belief. We will see. That is my belief. It is a genre of television. I believe the United States of America at its current moment deserves. And I have provided it for them. Um, and that will be out October 1st on Netflix. So I wasn't in New York to use our beloved summer background, the lovely northeastern beach, but we will be replacing it. Yes. And the lobster. We will be replacing it with a fall autumnal background very soon. And we're going to find an autumnal creature. I don't know who it'll be, but because it's seasonal and as you get older, you are. You're more cognizant and aware of the seasons because like all things, they signify death. All things. After you are at a certain age, you signify death. Everything. All things, everything. You see a new decoration go up at Target. You go, I'm gonna die.

Have I done enough?
Tim Dillon
That's what you think when you walk around Target and they start putting the pumpkins out. Have I Done enough? Have I done enough? Have I done enough? Will they remember me? They don't remember anyone. Will they remember me? Have I done enough? Have I done enough? Will they remember me? I'm 39 in January. I turned 40. And then you just. At every moment, everything you see becomes a signifier of your own mortality, no matter how insignificant it. Well, we have pumpkin cheesecake now. We're all going to die. Have I done enough?

Have I done enough?

There's so much pressure to make every moment count. It's exhausting. And that's why I went to the US Open. I go. I gotta go to the US Open because, oh, God, what if I don't? What if I don't go to the US Open? Then what can I say that I've lived? Can I say that I've lived if I don't spend a disgusting amount of money on tickets to go see the U.S. and here's the thing with the U.S. open, by the way. Let's get this out of the way. And I don't. And this is gonna sound. You know, people are gonna read into this some type of racial thing. And it's not, you know, or. Or. Or a class. It's really about class more than it is about race. Man, do I remember when I was a kid and my grandfather would get tickets to the US Open, and we would go as a family. My mother, my father, and myself. They'd give me a little cup of Haagen Dazs, and we got these amazing seats. And once I handed Martina Navratilova, that big hulking dyke, I handed her a towel. Great, great, you know, tennis player. And that was, you know, great era, right? Pete Sampras and Agassi and Steffi Groff and Martina never to love Monica. Sell us the one who got stabbed. The whole thing, whatever. My parents put me in a tennis clinic when I was young. There's this idea that your kid's going to be a tennis player, like people, because what a nice thing, right? What a lovely thing that would be to have your kid be a tennis player. So they all put them into. You know, everybody on Long island goes, why don't you give this a Shay? Put me in a little tent. You go on the clay court and you whack the ball around. Didn't take. Didn't take. But they would. We'd go to the US Open. And I remember you could hear a pin drop. It was silent. It was silent. It was quiet. The US Open used to be really quiet. Now the US Open Is loud. It's very loud. It's very loud. It's become a bit democratized, if you get my drift. There's a lot of. And they don't understand. It's supposed to be a quiet sport. You're sitting and even on the court side where we paid an ungodly amount of money for tickets, and people behind me are like, they're just talking drunk and eating chicken nuggets with caviar on them. They have a hundred dollar set of chicken nuggets. You dunk in caviar. I mean, it's like, what is happening? What is happening, by the way? Can anyone explain that? It's just. It's not nearly as civilized as it once was. I don't know what's good. There's people screaming and yelling, bring up the caviar nugget. There it is. I tried. It's too salty. The chicken nugget is salty. The caviar is salty as well. Who's. Who's planning this? But this is what's going on, by the way. You don't get that much caviar. You get the idea that you get that much caviar. You just don't. You put a little caviar on each nugget. The point is this. The point is this. We're lost now in the weeds. Tennis has become, you know, and then you're there. People are like screaming. They're trying to get chants going, like, with their foam finger. It's like, guys, that's not it. Then you're there, and then there's people there. I bumped into some twink who I knew, and then he's like, he's talking about this guy, Yannick Sinner, who's like the top ranked in the world. I was like, oh, who's this guy? He's like, you don't know? He's the top ranked in the world. I go, yeah, yeah. No one cares about this. I don't care about this. No one cares. We're just going, it's US Open. It's a fun thing to go. This. This guy's Senegal is hot and he's very talented, but no one cares. So what do we. What do we mean? And then the. The people that really care about tennis are weird. There's something wrong with them. Like, the people that are really care. Like, I love watching it. The athleticism. You watch, you know, you sit close, you know the. But who care? Like, what are we doing? You don't know. He's the number one ranked. What go Away. Go away. I want to find out here and then forget you just told me. Now I know this, this idea that people. Who are they that are like really into it. Like really, like really into this. Do you pay attention before it gets to the grand slam level? Well, how do you even do that? I guess, I guess you'll watch it. I don't know. I just find it disturbing that people are. They're like upset that I don't know who the rankings of the people. I don't know.
Co-host
You don't.
Tim Dillon
Oh, well, you don't know that. You don't know. He's actually not. This one's. She's number three in the world.
Co-host
What?
Tim Dillon
What is this? I'm sorry, I didn't look at the sheet of who's number three in the world.
Co-host
I'm just here.
Tim Dillon
It's just fun. It's just a fun thing to do. The climate is nice, the weather is nice. You can eat a heinous caviar nugget and look at Anna Wintour, that ghost.
Co-host
She's still around.
Tim Dillon
Katie Couric. I said Katie Couric. These people must be so fucking bored with life already. They're all ready to go to another planet. Katie Couric just sitting there spinning. She's been going to this thing for 25, 30 years. I mean, it's just. They don't care anymore. They're all just. That's the thing you start to realize about these money New York people. They're just so bored. You get to a certain point, they just want something to happen go up.
Co-host
Who has.
Tim Dillon
By the way, they put. They put people on the Jumbotron. Now no one knows who anyone is. No one has a clue who any person is at all anymore. So there's, there's, there's like three people they, they've heard of. It's like Kevin Hart, Jason Sudeikis. No one, like, literally no one knows who anyone is anymore. So it's so awkward. It's so awkward for the person on the Jumbotron because they're just like. They, they go on the Jumbotron, no one cheers. And there's just a rustling of like. And the person on the Jumbotron is doing this.
Co-host
You go.
Tim Dillon
You know, have a little fun with it. If you're on the Jumbotron, say something wild, you know, say something fun. Nobody. Nobody. No, nobody's excited to see anyone anymore. That's not our society anymore, by the way. It's like very rarely like Sudeikis. Gotta applause. Kevin Hart. Like There are people that like. But it's also such a New York, no offense, little bit of a lib tard media circus where, like, we know who's gonna get the applause. We just do. It's a certain. It's, you know. Oh, there's Beth Bethany, who I went with one of the. She's on TikTok all the time talking about chicken salad. Fun woman, very funny. She's. They hop. They threw her on the red carpet. She had no problem with that.
Co-host
She likes that.
Tim Dillon
I don't understand why there's a red carpet at US Open tennis match. What is this? Who is this for, by the way? Apparently everyone in the world's been getting money to talk about Russia and I've been defending them for free for 18 months. I have the worst ad people in the business. No, literally, I have the worst ad people in the business. They are the worst. I cannot get any. I am here literally defending Russia for free on the show and apparently they are throwing money and it's not necessary. I'm being facetious. I'm not necessarily defending Russia, but I'm looking at the conflict in a nuanced way and saying that the United States played a role in kind of provoking this by talking about admitting Ukraine into NATO. And that's not an opinion that I, that I have and no one else has. It's shared by a lot of people. And that's all I've said. I've said let's look at it and let's not. Let's not go to a nuclear war with Russia. That's all I've said. But apparently Russia has been throwing money around and creating fake media companies and I can't even get a taste. I can't even get a fucking taste. Do you know how depressing it is to wake up and read a story that people are getting stuffed with money from Russia and I can't get nothing? And we don't know if any of this is true, by the way. This just came out. US officials allege Russian operatives illegally provided 10 million of fun videos by American right wing social media stars. God, can you buy off the right wing cheap, huh? 10 million. No offense. What do you even do with $10 million in our country? I'm not even kidding. What can you do with $10 million right now? I mean, I guess some of you could find something to do with it, but frankly, you're gonna risk this for 10 mil? Tennessee based tenant Media was identified as a target of the RT scheme according to media reports. Basically Supposedly they funded a bunch of. They're buying influencers. Russia is going out there, buying influencers. And apparently, allegedly to get to wield power, they are accused of carrying out a secret influence campaign in the United States. This is kind of a new world that we're living in. It's where basically instead, like, they, you know, all countries, including us, play games with the media, and we influenced the media of other countries and we play games on the Internet. We've been doing that for a long time. We set up little sites for, you know, you know, to feed the chaos going on. Like, ooh, we did the Black Lives Matter protest. Everybody goes, let's do a cup. Let's have a little fun, right? Also, all of these bots, you know, enrage people and exploit any type of anger that's out there. And they try to create division amongst the people. And now they're really going directly to influencers, and they're buying those influencers directly. This, that. I think they paid Tana Mongeau to put that Brooke Schofield back on after she dropped the N bomb. That's my guess. I think that was Russia or potentially China. I don't know. It might have been China. Did China. I'm going to allege right now, with no evidence, just a hunch, that Tana Mongeau is being paid by China to bring Brooke Schofield back on her canceled podcast. It's a hunch I have. It's an instinct. And by the way, this is a message for the Brooke Schofields of the world, who I don't know, I've met once. Lovely lady, I guess.
News Anchor
I don't know.
Tim Dillon
I don't. I love Tana, Tana, Tana, who cares? But I do love her. Can I make a comment on these youtubers getting canceled being racist at 13? I actually kind of agree with that. And let me tell you why. You're not supposed to be racist at 13, you freak. You're supposed to be racist at my age. When you've met people and you've learned and you've been able to look at patterns, that's the whole point. Who's racist at 13? What kind of hate monger you have to be to hate people? As a child, you're supposed to hate them. As an adult, when you've met them, you're not supposed to hate Jews. At 11, you're supposed to fucking lose a job and your rent goes up and then you go, that goddamn Jew. Whether it's right or wrong, you're supposed to Hate them as an adult who hates people. At 9, you're not supposed to be a 10 year old being these fucking Koreans. You're. What is this? So people say to me, isn't it crazy? They're canceling the kids. Well, maybe we should cancel the kids. Cancel the racist kids and leave the racist adults alone. Yes or yes? Come on. Racist children are a problem. They are. To hate from such a young age, if that's your first instinct, is a real problem. But at 39, if you're not a little racist, God, I don't trust you. I thought, I hate the Irish. I loathe them. I abominate them. I went back to that country, that backwards toilet, or should I say toilet? And I went back to Ireland and I said, I do not identify with these people at all. I just don't. They're drunks. They believe in witches. They're backwards. The top building in Ireland's like eight stories tall. They've done nothing and nothing. So I don't identify with the middle. I am racist against Irish people. But I wasn't when I was seven. Okay? It took me a while to understand how backwards that culture happened to be. So this is my whole point now about racist children. I don't like racist children. There. It's to. To instinctually hate is bad. It's not good. To hate after a while is normal. It's normal. Someone's gotta hate someone. You can't do anything. You're not supposed to be outwardly racist. There's not one person I've met who doesn't have some grudge or gripe or problem with some other group. You're not supposed to obviously, like, you know, take it to the next level and be crazy about it, you know, but you're just not supposed to be 11 years old. You go, I've had enough with Filipinos. Not at 11. Not at 11. At 39, I go, well, Liz, that's a lot. It's a lot. I believe that. I believe we need to chill. Racist adults are. It's understandable. Racist children are a real problem, you know? Well, they were so stupid. They were just parroting what other people said. Yeah, fine, fine. But they haven't earned any of it. They haven't earned their racism. You need to earn your racism. You need to earn your homophobia. You should earn your massage. You need to earn all of your isms. You don't get them. You don't get your isms. You earn your isms, you earn the right to look at something and go, it's a little too much. Your best friend comes out, is gay. You don't hate that person. But you see a few pride parades where men are being walked down the street like dogs. You go, this is excessive.
Co-host
It is excessive, isn't it?
Tim Dillon
You have to earn it. So China has paid to Tana Mongeau. China did this whole thing. They orchestrated this. They leaked the Brook tweets. And is this China doing this or it's Russia? 10 million. That's what the right wing selling out for. 10 million. I'm doing it for free. I'm defending Russia for on gratis, for free. I can't get anything. I can't get a dollar. A federal indictment unsealed Wednesday, available at this link, charged two employees of rt, formerly known as Russia Today, using fake Personas and shell companies. The duo operated under covert identities at an American company identified in court documents as US Company One. CNN and other media outlets say they confirmed that the company in question is Tenant Media. Tim Pool said something about this on Twitter, and he said, we've all kind of been duped. Uh, we didn't know that this was going on. And probably they don't because this is, you know, they're very good at doing this stuff behind the scenes. But it doesn't mean it. Like, here's what I love about all these influence operations because let's break it down, let's break it down. The Russians are going, if we influence the American electorate, the American electorate will put pressure on the politicians and the policy will be changed.
Co-host
That's not really the way it works.
Tim Dillon
That's very cute that Russia thinks that. How quaint. There's not really the way it really matter how my aunt feels about the Ukraine war. It doesn't really matter. Like, nobody was asked about the Ukraine war here. Nobody really. Now, obviously public opinion can matter over a long enough period of time and it can swing things a certain way. But a lot of the issues in this country are not really settled based on how the public feels, but I understand it's a, it's a component. So Russia's out there trying to influence.
Co-host
Public opinion in a pro Russia.
Tim Dillon
Tim Pool said, should these allegations prove true, I, as well as the other personalities and commentators, were deceived and are victims. Yeah, I, I gotta be honest, I don't know Tim Pool at all, but I don't think he's like, knowingly working for Russia. I, you know what I mean? I, I, I don't feel like he know, like if someone behind the Scenes did something like that. You know, I think that he, you know, like, what if I find out that. Can someone give me money? I'm not. I'm asking right now, is there an oligarch that will give me money? I'll give you the show email. I don't. How do these people. How do they even meet these people? I'm trying so hard to get money from foreign governments to do this program. I'm trying so hard. China, let's start small. Malaysia, Malay. I will blame that airliner on someone every week. Can you give me something? This has been going on forever. It's not going to happen. It's only more sophisticated because of the Internet. Public opinion is incredibly malleable. Everybody knows that the American people are. That's why people talk about fame. Here's the thing with fame, by the way. This is why the Jumbotron doesn't matter anymore. The fame. No one cares or trusts that anyone's famous for any reason now. People instinct. The American people are, you know, they're not the brightest, but they have this raw native intelligence. They have the weird instinct because they've been fucked over so much. They've been propagandized and lied to so much that it's like an abused child where it's like, obviously that person is going to grow up to have lots and lots of problems as our country does. But also an abused child has some weird, like, hey, maybe let's not walk down that street thing. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's something that they have. There's a street smarts that comes with growing up in a situation where you felt vulnerable and you had to protect yourself. And I think the American public, because they have been so heavily propagandized and lied to and have been told things that aren't true over and over and over again. The idea of fame is a concept they distrust now, and I think that's a good thing. They just distrust it. They go and then people. Do you realize how famous people get in America? They get so famous in America, it's not even fun anymore. It's not even fun. The Kardashians are so famous now, they don't even have fans anymore. No one even likes them. They're just there. They're fixtures. They just exist. It's like a religion. They're just. It's there. And you drive by and you look at the church. Maybe you go in a few times a year. It's just there. It's a part of our society now. There's no fans of these people anymore. Jake and Logan Paul are so famous. I don't think they have any fans. Like no one loves them anymore. And people have just gotten tired of hating them. They're just there. You relent, they relent. You go, all right, all right, fine. It's down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Cardiac. They're gonna be the most famous people in the world. I just gotta. I gotta afford medicine. You just relent. You're beaten down endlessly and you just. You succumb to it. You succumb to it.
Co-host
You.
Tim Dillon
And you know, you have no say in it either. You don't really have a say in what happens. You just, eventually you turn around. If you're a normal person, you just turn around and there's a bunch of people who are the most famous people in the world. And you don't know why. You can't. You don't know why. Every now and then you get like a Shane Gillis who's a generational talent, who's an amazing. You know what I mean? Stand up comedian. You go, I get it. Or you get even. The guy who was watching do tennis last night, Skinner, whatever his name is. I don't wanna learn his name. I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. I'm not learning his name. Yannick. Yannick. I'll blow him. I'm not learning his name. The point is these people you watch. I watch a guy play tennis. Go. I get it. That guy's a top. That guy's whatever. However it happened, he's amazing. Then there's just a bunch of people that are just the most famous people. They're the most famous people in the world and you don't know why. You could have gun in your mouth, you wouldn't be able to tell and tell us why this oral row. Oral row are world favorite for real world. Please don't you get my row?
Co-host
We gonna do it?
Tim Dillon
I don't know. They were higher ago. No one knows. So no one knows why some people are famous. They're just the most famous people in the world. You just relent. You go, okay, fine, they're just famous. There's nothing else to do. You would not be able to articulate it on your deathbed with a gun to the back of your child's head, you couldn't even come up with a fake reason why half of these people are famous. So what happens is you just relent. But it's that culture of fame, like Russia. No, Russia's like, we gotta Just start paying people in America that are famous to say shit, because apparently these people will listen. And it's like, yes, yes, yes. I get it. Spread that money around. Spread that money. But it's. It's this. This. This. This game now of, like, fame means not. It just isn't anything anymore. It has. It's lost all of the things that it had. Bethany, who I think is great and she's hilarious, did a video on chicken salad that went viral. We're sitting in the US Open, and people scream at her. They go, chicken salad. I go, what is this? What is this culture? What is our society? She's very funny. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to be a known person. I just go, what is. When people are screaming chickens, these women, they lose their minds. They go, chicken salad. Chicken salad. I go, what.
Co-host
What is. What is this?
Tim Dillon
What is this? What does Russia think they're buying here? What does Russia think they're getting? I'm curious. I'm curious. This is a schizophrenic. You can't. That's like me paying people at my mother's mental institution to influence the other members of it. It's like there's a guy when my mother was alive who used to walk through the halls going. And just used to, like. It's like me going, let me peel you off something. I want you to go into the.
Co-host
Lunchroom and talk about the need for nuclear power.
Tim Dillon
Like, what is left here? It's. I'm just curious. It's kind of hilarious. It's very funny. I don't know. I don't know what's going on culturally anymore to where. I don't even know what you would hope to get from an influence campaign other than, like, yes, turn America against the Ukraine war. But America just doesn't want. America doesn't even know what's going on. We're like, why are we. What is it? Why are we fighting this war? Americans just want to eat French toast in different formats in the stick form where you can dunk it and use your hand. They want to eat it at the hollow form. We have to saw it with the knife. They want to have it on a bagel. They want to eat it. Ice cream. They like it in cereal. French. Do you know how many types of French toast. That's all the country want. So, like, they're going to tire of the Ukraine war eventually. They're just going to tire. But they know they have no power. It's like the Kardashians they don't. No one made them famous. We didn't start the Ukraine war. We know we can't stop it. No one thinks they're gonna stop the Ukraine war. Nobody. You go to a barbecue. I don't understand why you're in the Ukraine. Nobody. Nobody goes and we're gonna. We're gonna stop this war.
Co-host
No one thinks like that. No one thinks like. Because everyone knows.
Tim Dillon
Everyone knows we didn't make.
Co-host
We didn't make the Kardashians famous.
Tim Dillon
We can't stop it. We can't stop that boulder from rolling down the hill. We don't have that kind of power. No one in this country thinks they have that kind of power, by the way. No one. And you know what? It's really disturbing. Rich people don't even think they have that kind of power. Rich. And I met a lot of rich people. They don't even know what's going on. Rich people barely know what's going on. They know. They get the nugget at the open with the caviar on it and they. And they just. The ball goes back and forth. Then there's a few of them that are making everything happen. But the vast majority of them have no idea what's going on. All these rich kids want to be comedians and filmmakers. You talk to these rich scions of generational wealth. They all want to make films. They all want to be clowns. Do you know what a diseased society we are? Do you know what a diseased society we are? That our wealthiest people want to be traveling lounge acts? They want to join the circuit? Do you know what a disease society we are when the kids of the richest families go, I want to join the circus. Which is what this is. I want to join this. Can you imagine that? What do you. Well, tell your grandfather what you'll be doing.
Co-host
I want to join the circus, Grandpappy.
Tim Dillon
But we own a bank.
Co-host
Yes, but I like the circus. Have you ever felt the roar of the crowd in the circus?
Tim Dillon
It's a nightmare. Here. Can I buy. I wanna start buying influencers in Russia and maybe spend money over there to get. I don't know what any. God bless Russia or anyone who spends any money to get any result in this culture. In this culture, if you spend a dollar to get any result because you don't know what's going to happen, how it's going to happen, who's going to be responsible. Nobody know. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. The girl was so fascinating. I just did this thing and we had all these real people come on. My thing that I did with Netflix, I can't really talk about. I don't know why I'm being so, like, mysterious about. It's retarded. But I'm just teased.
Co-host
I'm doing a teaser, I'm doing a tease.
Tim Dillon
But here's what's interesting about Hulk 2. A girl, she seems like a lovely woman. I say nothing negative about her. I don't know anything about her. The people that came on my show, people go, how do you get people to come on your show? And they're all real people. There's no scripts, there's nothing. How do you get people to come on? Everyone. Everyone thinks. And yet they still live in America and they ask that question. All these people, well, why would anyone come on your show? Why would anyone? And they stay.
Co-host
They live in America. They live in America and they ask that question. They go, why would anyone come on? And I go, well, look at Hawk to a girl.
Tim Dillon
Hawk to a girl will probably be.
Co-host
The super bowl commercial. She's going to make a decent amount of money.
Tim Dillon
It might be short lived, it might not.
Co-host
I don't know. Here's what the fatal flaw is in our system. People think that they can plan to be the Hawk to a girl.
Tim Dillon
They think they can arrange the world that in a way they can be her.
Co-host
You cannot.
Tim Dillon
It is a casino. It is a circus. It is not a thing that you plan.
Co-host
You don't go to Vegas to win.
Tim Dillon
You go.
Co-host
And if you're smart, you go to.
Tim Dillon
Have a good time. You might win and you might not because it is a circus. What a circus is by its vic. Bring up circus. The definition of circus so that people can understand what a circus is, okay? The actual Webster dictionary of circus, so people can understand it. Because I think people don't understand, okay? A traveling company of acrobats, clowns and other entertainers which gives performances typically in a large tent in a series of different places. That is what it is. That's what we're doing here. Clowns, entertainers, acrobats in a tent. The tent gets set up somewhere. Could be on Instagram, might be on Tick Tock. Let's put the tent in, nail it down. Here comes the tents. Going the tents up on YouTube shorts today. Here comes the tent. Everybody gets out. They do the game, they do the thing. And then when they close that down, the tent springs up somewhere else. I don't know. On Facebook, Marketplace, it doesn't matter. It's that's what it is. You cannot plan really to become the Hawk to a girl. Because the whole purpose of this insanity is to be random and chaotic. We don't know what people gonna let. Nobody knows what people are gonna like. No one knows it. I talked to all these people in la.
Co-host
They don't.
Tim Dillon
There used to be a reasonable. You can make a guess as to what people like. You go, 920 white. They're. They got tits and they're, they're. They're in a nice area and they get into drama. They have problems. Girlfriends, boyfriends, cheating, nice cars. Shannon Doherty, Jenny Gart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Luke Perry. Like people go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's we. They'll like it and they like it. And then if they like that, you go, well, they like that. They're going to like Melrose Place because the people are a little older, but it's still the same shit. They like Hill Street Blues. They're like NYPD Blue. They like NYPD Blue. They're like, you know, there's a way to kind of gauge now you don't know it now.
Co-host
No one knows why things work and why they don't. There isn't. There isn't a clear cut answer to why one person.
Tim Dillon
So the thing about hawk2agon, she's a charming, lovely woman, from what I understand.
Co-host
You cannot plan to be. You could not plan to say, I'm.
Tim Dillon
Going to walk out of a bar and say, I hug two on that.
Co-host
Thing and then go.
Tim Dillon
And then go, why? It's in the way. So the people that come on my show are the people that go on any show. They're taking their shot.
Co-host
They're rolling the dice.
Tim Dillon
Good for them. And why not? Why not? What's the point of being at the circus if you're not going to go up there and do a flip? So that's the thing. So God bless Russia. God bless anyone spending a dollar to get a result. In the climate we are in now.

That's iFlyworld.com Wells Fargo employee found four days after she died in her cubicle. And by the way, this is actually a good, beautiful story because people, we know, people are. They are their happiest at work, and it's where they should live and where they should die. And no matter what others say, that woman loved that cubicle, and I'm sure she was happy to die in it. Let's take a look.
News Anchor
New tonight, a Wells Fargo employee dies at her desk and no one bats an eye. Now her co workers are raising questions about how the Tempe, Arizona office addressed the tragic death. Jade Cunningham has the story.
News Reporter
There's sadness at this.
Tim Dillon
Look at that, by the way. Stop that.
Co-host
Stop that. Look at that. Look at that, huh? Look how beautiful that is. Where is that? Arizona? Yeah. Tempe. Tempe, Arizona desert. Wells Fargo. You park your car, you go, just another day in paradise. You walk in and you check out, and then your body rots for four days at the Tempe Wells Fargo when Tempe.
Co-worker
It's really, really heartbreaking. And I'm thinking, what if I were just sitting there, like, nobody would check on me.
News Reporter
After the body of an employee was found at work, an associate who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation says the situation is troubling.
Co-worker
Her boss at E. Emailed her. He didn't receive a response, so they went to go check where she normally sits.
Co-host
I love the American workplace for fear of retaliation. A body's rotting for four days. And they go, if you talk. If you talk to anyone about this.
Tim Dillon
Maybe they were having fun with the body. Does anyone think about that? They were doing a Weekend at Bernie's.
Co-host
They're propping her up. Maybe she was a cunt.
Tim Dillon
Maybe everybody hated her.
Co-host
Maybe she died and then people were having fun with her, photocopying her ass. Having fun. Maybe not. I don't know. I'm just saying we have to look for explanations in times like this, and.
Tim Dillon
Explanations that make us feel better about.
Co-host
The random, insane, chaotic nature of this thing that we are doing called life.
Tim Dillon
Maybe this woman was one of these people that you just didn't. You know, you're a cunt at work.
Co-host
If no one goes near your desk for four days.
Tim Dillon
Can you imagine what a friendless hell.
Co-host
This woman lived in? No one went near her desk for four days.
Tim Dillon
Four days.
Co-host
No one went near her cubicle for four days.
Tim Dillon
Do you know what a nightmare this.
Co-host
Woman must have been? Or she was either a nightmare or.
Tim Dillon
She was one of those women who, like, barely existed. And you were just like, oh, every interaction's kind of awkward and forced. And you know what?
Co-host
I don't need to go near her.
Tim Dillon
But it's weird that nobody checked. Nobody. She's clearly not an essential component of.
Co-host
Wells Fargo Tempe branch.
Tim Dillon
Let's watch a little bit more of that. Maybe it turns, maybe it gets happy.
Co-worker
And that's how they found the body.
News Reporter
Tempe Police say on August 20, building security called authorities after finding a worker who was possibly dead. Officers went and identified the person as 60 year old Denise Prudhomme.
Co-worker
To hear that she's just been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel, like, sick and that, no, nobody did anything. That was how she spent her last moments.
News Reporter
Police say there's nothing suspicious about the death, but still haven't confirmed many details about the time or manner of it. The employee says the lack of information from the bank has been especially frustrating.
Co-worker
I'm just wondering why they didn't formally address employees about it when this does affect everybody in the building.
News Reporter
Wells Fargo said in a statement, we are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office. It also states counselors are available to support employees and all further questions will be directed to police.
Tim Dillon
Ready?
Co-host
Ready, ready. I'll be, I'll be the Wells Fargo counselor and I'll also be the employee. Hi. Thank you for reaching out. How are you doing? Well, it's light because the employees, it's, it's Arizona, they're like like a. You know, it's like sad because, like, like she's like, died and, and nobody like, help her. Like that. Yeah, yeah. How does that make you feel? Makes me feel, like, sad. Like, what if I die and no one, like, comes to see me when I'm in, like, my cubicle, do you feel fear? Yeah, like sometimes I feel, like, scared that no one cares. Like sometimes our life, it feels like it has no meaning. We just do that Wells Fargo. And then people on the TV say, wells Fargo kind of like steal people money and shit. Well, I can't really speak to that.
Tim Dillon
Well, there was some weird credit card shit.
Co-host
It's all over the news. I can't really speak to that. I can only speak to, you know, your emotional, you know, composition right now. I understand that you've just been through something and I understand that it's tough. We all, we all. This makes us all think about our lives and it makes us all think that, you know, we're alone. But you're not alone. You have me. The Wells Fargo team's always here to support you, you know that. But don't talk to Anyone else about this? I saw you're talking to the news, and the thing is, nobody at the news is trained the way I'm trained to help you. I'm trained to help you. Yeah. Like, I just felt emotional, so, like, I talked to. No, no, no. I know, but the worst thing that could happen, and I mean the worst, is if you say something to the news and then people think that you've. You're just, you know, you're. You're placing blame on the company. You wouldn't. You wouldn't want that. No, like, I don't blame them, but, like, maybe it is kind of their fault. Well, we don't want to say things like that. We don't want to go down that road. We don't want to open that door. We don't want to open that door because you know how big Wells Fargo is. They crush people like you, like a bug. Look at me. They'll crush you like a bug. You know that? You know they crush you and your children. They'll kill your kids. They'll kill them in front of you. You know that, right? We'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you right now. Yo. What. What's happening right now? I'll kill you. I'll fucking kill you, you stupid bitch. You say one thing to the news, I'll kill you. I'm kidding. What I think we need to do now.
Tim Dillon
I'm telling you right now that it's very sad that that happened, but I think it's beautiful. Tim Wallace ignores dead hosted question to eat ice cream at the state fair. Tim Walls, his brother, came out and said, do not put this lake freak in because Tim Walsh, we know, is a fun guy. He's a pathological liar. He lied about everything. He didn't serve in the war. He's full of, uh. His brother hates him, by the way. Whose brother hates them like that? This guy's brother hates him. Has not spoken him for eight years. Um, we know Waltz is a liar. We know he's.
Co-host
You know, he just makes things up, which is fine. A lot of politicians make things up.
Tim Dillon
But we just met him. We just met him, and a lot.
Co-host
Of what he's saying isn't true. He's a.
Tim Dillon
You know, so let's watch Tim Wallace. He's dodging this question. And by the way, I get it. I. The last thing I want to do when I'm eating ice cream is talk.
Co-host
About hostages because it's not fun anymore.
Tim Dillon
Are you feeling.
Co-worker
What's your Reaction to the six hostages.
Co-host
Being found dead in Ghana.
Political Commentator
Thanks, everybody.
Co-host
There you go.
Tim Dillon
Eat the custard. How about some custard? Why wouldn't he just say it's terrible?
Co-host
Why wouldn't he just say it's terrible?
Tim Dillon
She said, what's your reaction to six hostages being found in Gaza? Why wouldn't he just say, any loss of life in this conflict is absolutely tragic and we need to bring it to an end as soon as possible? You know why? Because he can't.
Co-host
He's not allowed. He's not allowed to say it because.
Tim Dillon
He'S not his own man. He's not his own man. You're all falling for this. Oh, he's a folksy, like Met. No, he's not.
Co-host
He.
Tim Dillon
He's meeting with the Soros kids, okay? And they're telling them how to dismantle American civil society, by the way. He's not his own man. He's a liar and a fraud. I don't care that he. Oh, he likes fishing like me. No, he does. He's lying. He couldn't say what. What do you think about the hostages being fake? Because, like, I'm gonna go eat this ice cream. He doesn't know. This is the simplest question ever asked of a politician that I've ever seen publicly, and he cannot answer it. And the reason he cannot answer it is because he does not know what the Democratic National Committee and the advisors want him to say about six dead kids, by the way, or people. He cannot just say the most basic not. This is how inhuman this liar is. He cannot say, hi. Any loss of life in this conflict is a tragedy. We need to bring it to a close. Because you know why it's not. They don't want it to end. This is the goal here, is not for it to end. This is not for it to end. The goal for the Ukraine war is not to end none of these wars. The ending is not on the docket. Ending the wars is not a part of the game. Bibi Netanyahu does not want this war to end. Israel, the citizens, a lot of them are going, yes, we need it to end. Bibi Netanyahu does not want to go to jail on corruption charges. He does not want to face a post war environment. He doesn't want an investigation in intelligence failures that allowed October 7th to happen. He doesn't want any of that. So the only way to not have that is to have a larger regional conflict, okay? That is the only way to not have that. Tim Walsh knows that. He needs to Shut his fucking mouth about this stuff. That it is not his job. That the biggest issue right now with the Democrats in places like Michigan is this issue. So he cannot answer a question like a human being. Now, by the way, if he was a sharp politician, like, I don't know, like a Josh Shapiro, who. I believe I sat next to the uso, but I think it was Josh Shapiro a few seats down. I sent the photo to people. They said it was the governor of Pennsylvania if he was a politician. That, for example, we all know Josh Shapiro is very pro Israel. But, like, Josh Shapiro is a very. His image is not the guy next door hockey dad or whatever. This Sarah Palin type is doing. His huckster, you know, Lake Abominable Snowman. Folksy, I eat my griddle cakes with butt. Like, whatever he's doing here, his image is. I'm an outsider. I'm not. Shapiro's image is like, no, no, no, no, no. My brother works in Hollywood on the gut. Like, I'm. So you're used to politics coming from the way Waltz has sold himself is I'm the guy at the fair that will. I'm into straight talk. We ain't weird and we're. And you know. But yet he cannot answer a question about six American hostages that were killed without receiving talking points from billionaires. So just know out there the dummy, dummy dum dums who are stupid people. I don't care who you vote for. Vote for him if you want. It doesn't matter to me. I don't tell you who to vote for. The whole point of my show is not to tell you or to carry water or this, that. And the other thing. It doesn't matter to me. Just know that this is the exact same thing as you've always had and you'll always have. He was cast in a role to be a late guy. He is getting edicts from billionaires like everybody else. Play that again. Play that again. It's almost like he's looking for the billionaires to. Where are the billionaires? Where are they? Tell me what the. What is dead kids good or bad?
Co-host
What do we do in.
Tim Dillon
Oh, bed. Dead kids. Yay or nay on the dead kids? Yes or no?
Co-host
I don't know about this one.
Tim Dillon
Tim Waltz. Here's. Here's straight talk. Waltz, baby.
Co-worker
Reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Brazil.
Tim Dillon
All right, thanks, everyone.
Co-host
I'm gonna go have a meeting with a billionaire.
Tim Dillon
Thank you.
Co-host
Thanks.
Tim Dillon
I'm gonna go talk to a couple of billionaires. It's just interesting It's, I'm fascinated by political theater. I like it. I like theater. I like it interests me as to how the world is run and the way that he has been cast in this role as a simple American dad, funnel cake dad, fair dad, next door guy. But just know that he cannot answer a question without receiving instructions from the people who own him and have and, and own Kamala and own the DNC and whatever. And that doesn't mean, by the way, that, that Trump and Vance don't have backers, that they are also, you know, I don't know if Trump's controlled by anyone because, I mean, if they are, they're doing a terrible job. Trump doesn't seem super controlled, but they also have interests in stuff like that that they, that they will not openly go against. So that's just the way politics works. This guy, however, seems to have gotten some pass. He's branded himself as like this, this. I'm a freewheeling, I eat my funnel cake, you know, like everybody, I just go to the fair. What do you think about the dead kids?

Com cocktail heads up folks. Interest rates are falling, but as of September 23, 2024, you can still lock in a 6% or higher yield with a bond account@public.com that's a pretty big deal because when rates drop, so can the interest you earn on your cash. A bond account allows you to lock in a 6% or higher yield with a diversified portfolio of high yield and investment grade corporate bonds. So while other people are watching their returns shrink, you can sit back with regular interest payments. But you might want to act fast because your yield is not locked in until you invest. The good news? It only takes a couple of minutes to sign up@public.com lock in a 6% or higher yield with a bond account only@public.com brought to you by Public Investing member Finran Sipc.

And I and here's the thing I'll say about all this hostages and all the killing and everything like that. I frankly, it's mucking up kind of the fall. To be honest. Like the fall is supposed to be a time of like really like focused. The fall is like a great Number one, I think it's the best season. We all agree. Everyone loves the fall. And it's like. I just. I'm over this whole thing, this Middle east conflict, because it was like last fall, it started. And I don't want to go through.
Co-host
Another fall with this. I really don't.

I will not listen anymore. I will not listen anymore. I won't. It's like the Kardashians just let it be. Then if the Middle east war is going to go on for 20 years, like keeping up with the Cardiac, I just have to ignore it. And I.
Tim Dillon
Because it really is.
Co-host
It gets to the point where it's like explaining that war is the same thing as explaining why the Kardashians are famous. You go, well, I don't.
Tim Dillon
Fuck.

There was a tape. And what's the thing that people wear to make their legs less fat? I don't know, man. They're just there. It's just. It's. They just fight.

In the beginning, I get it. Everybody's got an. I know. It's a terrible tragedy all over the place. The thing at the music festival that was bad, or the people in Gaza. This is very.
Co-host
It's all very bad and it's not good.
Tim Dillon
I am completely powerless to stop any of it. I'm turning it off. And if you bring it up, I'm going to talk about Chapel Roan, who's slightly overrated, but talented. And I will. That's what I'm going to. I will start singing Chapel Roan. If you bring up the Israel Gaza thing to me, I will just start. I dance at the club, the Ping Pony Club. I will not dignify this anymore. There's nothing left to say. What am I going to say? What's the new take? What's the hot take on that? Well, it's actually the Balfour Declaration. Well, if you think about the borders, the pre1967 border. Well, actually, it's a seven day war. It's the Israeli. Well, actually, it's Iran. Shut up. Everyone, shut up. It's not happening. It's over. It's over now. It is over. It is over.

It wouldn't be as good, but I could do it. Oh, over the net.
Tim Dillon
What is that?

Could they talk about Kamala Harris for hours? This woman. No one should talk about Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris should work at Wells Fargo. I have to talk about this woman endlessly for hours. I got to talk about the Middle east conflict for hours and endless hours.
Tim Dillon
And hours about the Middle East.
Co-host
I mean, could they do this? Get sinner.
Tim Dillon
Get him up. Go, go, go for an hour about Kamala Harris in the Middle East. 19 episodes on the Middle east and it's still not fixed.
Co-host
I've done 19 hours on the Middle east and it's still not fixed. This is why my father. And when you talk to my father, it's like he's had a complete lobotomy. You say anything to my father, he responds with something about his dog or the weather or he says, brings up some anecdote that's from the 70s. And the reason he does this is because the world is designed to drive you insane. And the only two options are to.
Tim Dillon
Go insane or to completely detach. The world is actually designed to drive you insane.
Co-host
It's not an accident that is driving you insane.
Tim Dillon
It's created to make you insane. That's the whole point, is to drive you mad. You're actually supposed to be insane all the time because you're fucked with on such a level. When you go out to any area that has a lot of nature, it.

Why are you happy that everyone's going to die? What? Well, you seem happy. No, I'm not. Well, you seem gleeful and happy that these climate events that may or may not happen are going to kill everyone. Do you think that's nice? My aunt does it.

Co-host
Yours, I go, nothing's rightfully mine. I didn't earn any of the money. Secondly, why is it that you boomer psychopaths, that is your first response to anyone who's like dying is like, how.
Tim Dillon
Would the estate is going to get divvied up? It's just a matter of going insane. And anyone that shows up with talking points in their head that they need to get out, they need to go to get you, they're crazy.
Co-host
They're crazy.

I'm not saying you shouldn't believe things.

Just. I mean, my father is the ultimate extreme because literally he'll be like, you know what's good about Fred? I go, who's Fred again? He goes, the dog. You know what's good about him? I go, what could be good about him? What is good about this shit? Sue, tell me again what he's going.
Tim Dillon
But he's decided, and I think he'll live for probably a long time.
Co-host
He's decided that the best way to deal with the current media landscape is to completely detach and walk around a nice corn maze of his own mind. And I think maybe that's the move, because over the next 60 days you are going to see some of the people that, you know, lose their mind. Their mind is going to melt out of their brain and it's going to leak out of their ear and they're going to need you, they're going to.
Tim Dillon
Need you to ignore them.
Co-host
Just the way I'm ignoring Israel and Gaza. I'm ignoring them until they get their.
Tim Dillon
Act together, until they want to behave the way I do. Like it's a fucking fall. Until they want to have a nice dinner party and go to the Jericho Cider Mill and get an apple crumb pie and get a little cider and take a nice walk around the Planting Fields Arboretum in Westbury. Until they want to take a nice stroll in Central park with a cup of coffee. Until they want to have a nice little dinner and fucking go and get some nice brown butter sage pumpkin ravioli. Unless they want to go get some gorgonzola and yoloti. Unless they start acting like people. I'm not going to deal with it. I'm not dealing with the beheadings and the burnings and the killings and the genocides and the shooting. I will not do it. Not this fall. Miss me with all that shit? I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. If they're gonna have to act like fucking people. How about if a little less killing and a little more dinner party? How about that? What about a nice restaurant in Gaza? A nice restaurant, something nice. And I love those. I feel bad for those kids, but like they're like day 302 in water zone. Like the influence. Here's the thing with the Gaza war. Influence, influencers. I know, I get it, I understand. But like vary the content, diversify the content. The Gaza war influence. It's all war all the time. Show me how to make a falafel. You know what I mean? Like, why is it all war all the time? Day and 92 in water zone.
Co-host
No one has water.
Tim Dillon
We are all dying. Bummer. Can I get a seasonal dish?
Co-host
Make a shakshouka.
Tim Dillon
Do something. Is that Israeling?
Co-host
Maybe it is.
Tim Dillon
I'm just saying have the courage to ignore.
Co-host
Have the courage to ignore. Have the moral courage to ignore. Because you're not know what, you're not doing anything. You're not throwing red paint on Starbucks. Doesn't do it. I know it makes you feel good, I know it makes you fit, but it's not doing anything. Bibi Netanyahu doesn't give a shit if.
Tim Dillon
Every college kid in America shoves the.
Co-host
Talmud up their at.
Tim Dillon
He doesn't care.
Co-host
He doesn't care to the matter.
Tim Dillon
Fucking funnel cake. Dad won't even say that the dead kids are bad. Like no one will even say anything here. So the only thing to do is to completely divest emotionally from this. Unless you are willing to join a side and fight. If you're willing to join the IDF or join Hamas, God bless. But until you are I really want fall behavior. Fall behavior. Picking of the pumpkin. Get the pumpkin and bring it to the house. You need to be an example to of what America truly is at its heart. A selfish, self obsessed place that has succeeded because of that and thrives because of that, and will only ever succeed because of that. You need to be an example to the rest of the world of what self obsession and narcissism looks like. You were the star of your own movie. You are losing the thread. No one thinks you care. No one believes you. No one. Be the demon they all think you are and they will love you for it. They want to be you. They want to be you. Jennifer Aniston. Shut the fuck up about clean water. You can't shut up. They only want clean water so they can be you. Uh.
Co-host
I mean, where, where do you go from there?
Tim Dillon
It's just what it is. We need.
Co-host
We need to restore sanity to this country. And I'm hearing too many people unconvincingly talking about others. And this is not the season to unconvincingly talk about your faux activism, your fake bullshit, your statuses, your fucking, your thing. You're not doing anything.
Tim Dillon
What you must do is return to the cave of self. It's why we're loved.
Co-host
It's actually why we're.
Tim Dillon
No one care. People love us for World War II.
Co-host
No one cares. Get up. Denise Proudhon. Please get up. RIP Denise Prudhomme.
Tim Dillon
This woman died in a Wells Fargo. For your sins. For your sins. Bring her up. That's Jesus. She died in Wells Fargo. For your sins. For your sins. Even Russia. Even Russia goes.
Co-host
We can't give him anybody.
