Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. RIP to those pilots at LaGuardia, you know, everybody's tagging me, going, you called it. Which is not exactly. That's not. My goal here is to call air disasters before they happen. But I will say that I've been flying a long time and I've been paying attention to travel and there's been a lot of near misses and I've never felt less safe sitting on a tarmac waiting to take off. I have never personally felt less safe. I think there are too many people out flying. I don't know where everyone's going. And I'm not trying, I'm not saying, like, people shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere. I'm just saying the demand and the fact that the system is, seems to be at a breaking point. Inevitably things like this are going to happen. But I, you know, I don't like that, like you call you, you called it. I, I'm like, all right, people dying, people losing their life, people that were injured. LaGuardia is a terrible airport. If you don't know LaGuardia, it's a little, it's, is it, is it one Runway? It's two runways, it's, it's not international. It's a domestic New York City airport. The runways are not long enough to land, you know, Airbus A380s and stuff coming in from Qatar, Dubai, London. So you're, it's, it's flights from Chicago and it's this little airport and it is incredibly busy. You go right over Rikers island. It's like right next to Rikers island, the big jail complex. And then you land and then a fire truck, you know, and then you're killed. And this is a terrible tragedy and it's a horrible thing. And this is unfortunately indicative of a Broken system. Air Canada, which, by the way, is a pretty safe airline, right? Air Canada, they're not going. You don't hear problems with Air Canada a lot. So, by the way, RIP to those two pilots. And truly, you know, I got some attention for telling people to stay home, but I'm. I. I'll be very honest with you. I think now you. You really have to think about traveling and think about the necessity at, at the moment of. Of. Of. Do you need to go to the place it. Do you need to go there, you know, or can we wait? Can we push it off? Can we delay it? Can we do it next year? And the answer to a lot of those questions will be yes. And then you're sitting on your couch and you're okay. And that's all I'm saying. If you have to go places, as I often do, you got to go, you got to go, you got to go. But if you don't, and it's at all possible to put the trip off, I don't know, I might. Do you need to see your sister in Fort Lauderdale? Do you need to pick up a phone? Half the. You get down there, half the time is travel. Then you actually get down there, and then you sit there with your sister and her husband and you go, what are we doing? You go to some steakhouse. It's like mid. Some mid tier. You know what I mean? You're sitting at a steakhouse in Boca and you go, I hope when we take off tomorrow and land at LaGuardia Airport, the fire truck doesn't drive onto the Runway so that I could sit here and eat truffle Mac and cheese and listen to your sister's mouth. Amy Poehler doing very well in the charts. Good for Amy Poehler, winner of best podcast award, obviously, at the Golden Globes. What's funny? A little funny story that I find to be amusing, and it's why I'm telling it. I've never met Amy Paul. I think she's brilliant. She has a podcast and she sent my producer an email saying that she wanted me on the podcast, which, like, immediately I was like, wait a minute, something's awry. And. And this, again, is just one of the funnier stories of what's happening right now in Los Angeles, because, as you know, Los Angeles is cratering and many of the people who live here are not working. And, you know, you get it. We've gone over it. Um, so apparently, this email that I got, which I'm gonna read you right now, let's start with the email. Let's actually read this email. A candid conversation on comedy and culture. So someone sends this email. Greetings, Tim. I hope this finds you well. My name is Julia, and I handle guest bookings for Amy Poehler, host of the Good Hang podcast on the show. So immediately I'm like, wait, what? This is not to say anything bad about Amy Poehler. She has, like, Viola Davis on, right? And Ariana Grande. It's like a different thing. It's a different thing. Like, I don't think right. On the show, Amy has real heartfelt conversations with people who are making a meaningful impact through their work and life. Now, I've listened to the show. Most of it is her asking these celebrities what time they go to sleep. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. But, Mo, a lot of it does seem to be that. How much water do you drink? When do you go to sleep? Hey, whatever. Get the money. I have a ton of respect for her comedically in other avenues, but I've listened to it, and it's Ariana Grande comes in, and she's a little listless, and they come in and, you know, they hit her with a little protein, she wakes back up. We would love to invite you to join her for an upcoming episode. Our listeners truly value honesty, growth, and authentic perspectives. Now, so immediately we get this email. My producer, me, get this email. We're sitting there, we're kind of, like, dumbfounded because the beginning, we're kind of taken in by it. We. We kind of believe it, right? Our listeners value honesty, growth, and authentic perspectives. And your voice as a comedian and podcaster with sharp take on culture and modern life would make for an engaging and memorable conversation. Now, by the way, in my head, I'm going, why in God's name would she want this? Why would she want, like, a guy who might say something to ruffle feathers or whatever? Like, she's got a list talent. They're brilliant. Like, go and get Meryl Streep. Why would you. This has. I have nothing to do with this. So. So if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd be glad to coordinate next steps to find a time that works best for you. Okay, so here's the great part of the email. We also offer competitive compensation in recognition of your time and participation. So now we read this. Me and my producer read it. We don't think anything of it. This is how out to lunch I am. I don't think anything of the fact that after this whole Email, which glazes me as this guy that has sharp takes on the cultural climate that are badly needed over at Good Hang. Okay. Which is, by the way, like, the last thing they need is that. That. That their show's doing great because it has a great formula that works. Jonathan Groff comes on, or another celebrity, and then she asks them if they're lactose intolerant or. It's fine. It's a great thing that works for everyone. So why in God's name are you going to have me screaming about Iran or something? It makes no sense. No sense at all. And I, like, I don't think she has. It's a good show. Like, it's a laid back, relaxed show, and she gets icons and she's like a comedic icon, truly. I think Amy Poehler's like, legit, legit, legit. You know what I mean? Is she the greatest podcast rule? Who knows? Maybe not, maybe not. I don't know. I don't know. It's too soon to tell. But she brings these people on. She asked them, what temperature do you like your water? You like it? Some people say cold water is not good for you. And then the celebrity goes, well, I actually, I used to do cold. Now I do kind of a warmer water, mixed temperature water. So it's interesting. It's. It's fascinating now. So they write this email. We also offer competitive compensation in recognition of your time and participation. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd be glad to coordinate the next step and find the time that would work for you. Now, this looks legit. They have the. The. The thing of the show. The whole thing is there. They have the logo of the show. It looks like a real episode, right? So I call a few people that are, like, in the. In the world of whatever, and I go, do you think it's possible that Amy Porter wants me on her show? And they go, you know, maybe. And I go, really? They go, yeah. You know, she's in the podcasting space. This is how people in Los Angeles talk. They go, you're in the space. She's in the space. It's very possible. And I go, really? Like, it's. I'm like, do you think this is legit? They go, yeah, yeah, very possibly. So then I call my manager. Cause I have the same manager as Amy Poehler. So one thing I will say about my manager is that I respect it. He's honest. He's usually, like, touring a horse farm or in Thailand, but he is honest. He'll Answer his phone and, and he'll tell you exactly where he is coming to volcano me. My wife are thinking about buying a volcano. And what do you think about volcanoes? I don't know, they seem volatile. He goes, right, that's what I thought. But I said, do you think Amy Poehler wants me on her show? And he goes, oh, I don't think so. And immediately. Cuz it was cool, by the way, of course. So then he goes, send me the email. He goes, let me tell you what's been happening. Let me tell you what's been happening because this is one of the funniest stories. He goes, this is a scam email that's been going out to a bunch of people and so many people are angry because they think they're booked on Amy Poehler show and this is a scam email. And he goes, does it say anything about compensation? And we get the email up, we go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quote, we also offer competitive compensation in recognition of your time and participation. He goes, the next email is you send your bank info. The next email is you send your banking information to whoever is doing it. By the way, what a hilarious, brilliant scam. And again, Amy has nothing to do with it, but somebody decided that this would be a fun scam to just reach out to people. And I'm, I'm sure. And here's what's sad about this. This is being emailed to people that are so excited to get booked on this show because of the state of LA right now and how these people haven't worked in a while and you know, but they still have a home and like, you know, they, they, they're paying a mortgage but they're looking at the money in the bank. You know, the hourglass is turned over and it's getting less and less every month. And you know, so there's definitely. And because my manager told me because yeah, there are people calling in going, we're, we're really excited about this. And, and they're not. No one booked them on the show because again, she's got like a list people on this. She doesn't want me on the show. And by the way, if I ran her show, I'd go, you don't have that guy. What is that? What do you, what do you need? An alternative take on Ukraine? What is this? You're a comedic legend. Talk to Viola Davis, whatever. But what's been happening is this email is going to guys who like haven't worked in years and they're telling their families, you know, Your father got booked on Amy Poehler's podcast today. Like, the mother is saying that, like they're all having dinner and Encino and the mother's going, you know, your, your, your, your father, your father who not only just did a guest starring role in the pit, okay, he was on that gurney. He, now he's Amy Poehler just reached out and the kids are like, whoa, dad, that's fucking awesome. And he goes, you know, I met Amy years ago, I met him years ago and we had a nice little conversation. But I, I cannot believe that she has followed me and watched me on this show. And the wife says to him, I told, did I not tell you that something was going to happen out of nowhere and you were going to kind of get back into this thing? And he goes, she goes, this is what's going to, you're going to go on that show. You're going to be charming, you're going to be one of the good guys. You're going to show people that there's good guys in this town. And you go on there and, and he's going to go, I can't believe it. You know, when I got that email, I didn't even, I didn't even know this woman knew I existed. So then they sent him the follow up email, we'll put in your bank information. So then, I mean, like three days later, they're sitting in Encino having dinner again and the kids are there and the kids are like, mom and dad, what's wrong? And then the mother goes, well, apparently the Amy Poehler podcast email your father got was a scam. And your father put our bank account information in because they told him they were going to pay him fifteen hundred dollars to do this podcast. So now we've a lot of the money out of our bank was cleared out. They've frozen our accounts and we're having real issues right now. I thought that the father goes, I thought it was weird. I hadn't spoken to her in so long. So that's what's happening right now. So if you get an email from the Tim Dillon show, the show without guests, don't give anyone your bank account information. But there's nothing fun, by the way. There's nothing funnier than a guy having to explain to his wife that their accounts are frozen because he fell prey to the good hang podcast email scam. Nothing bad. There's nothing better. Like they call, like they call her management company and they're like, we're so excited. We're just trying to get, you know, we got the email, we're ready to go whenever you guys are. And they're like, who the hell are you? What are you talking. What are you talking about? The email? What are you nuts? Amy's not talking to you. She's trying to force feed Ariana Grande a meatball right now. The cops are there. Are you one of those people that actually likes your money?
