Tim Dillon & "I’m a flake, I’m a liar”

Summary

TigerBelly Podcast — Tim Dillon & “I’m a flake, I’m a liar” (April 16, 2025)

Episode Overview

In this riotous, irreverent episode, Bobby Lee, Tim Dillon, and friends trade brutal honesty, showbiz tall tales, and merciless self-deprecation. The main theme is the art of "flakiness"—ditching commitments, embellishing truths, and riffing on social taboos—while the group explores friendship, fame, identity, and the absurdities of Los Angeles life. The only rule: nothing is sacred.

1. Rekindled Friendships & Airing Grievances

Timestamps: 02:44–06:18

• Missed Shows and Flakiness: Tim Dillon and Bobby Lee recount their rocky podcast history, taking playful jabs at each other's notorious unreliability. Tim recalls a pivotal moment: inviting Elliott Choi (subbing for Khalyla) to an anniversary show, only to be told last minute, “I’m in the Hamptons,” while Elliott ate a lobster roll ([05:29]).

  • Quote: “In my mind, when I sleep at night, I hear that sometimes—‘I’m in the Hamptons.’” —Tim Dillon (05:41)

• Backchanneling, Not Betrayal: Even when they were feuding, both stayed in low-key contact—like “the Cuban Missile Crisis.” They agree: their beef was never real animosity, just flaky showbiz antics ([04:21]).

• Owning Flaws: Elliott and Tim trade jabs about who’s the true flake (“That’s your whole life, though!” —Tim [04:46]). The discussion sets an honest, self-lampooning tone for the episode.

2. Satirical Takes on “Tariffs” and Cultural Stereotypes

Timestamps: 06:18–08:00

• Tariffs, But Make It Emotional: Elliott jokes about imposing “emotional tariffs”—making people “pay to be who they are” ([06:33]).

  • Quote: “I believe in emotional tariffs…where you make someone pay to be who they are.” —Elliott (06:33)

• Mail-order Brides & Wild Tariff Bit: Tim proposes tariffs on mail-order brides, layering in escalating percentages based on body stereotypes, pushing the absurdity.

  • The segment veers intentionally into edgy satire of stereotypes, satirizing showbiz’s history of racial insensitivity, called out by the comedians themselves.

---

3. Fame, Parties, and Hollywood Absurdities

Timestamps: 09:32–13:29

• Levels of Fame: Tim and Elliott recount attending a wild rapper’s party in LA (“He’s so famous, it’s unreal”—Elliott [09:42]), poking fun at the insane diversity and cultural reach of Tim’s fans.
• LA Vibe Shift: They joke about LA’s turning from sunshine optimism to morbid, depressive conversations: “Here’s what LA is now: ‘How did that girl from Buffy die?’” —Elliott ([24:33]).

---

4. Upbringing, Substance Abuse, and Family

Timestamps: 13:29–18:28

  • Quote: “I was doing blow at like 13 and stuff.” —Elliott ([15:39])
  • “I did meth at 12.” —Tim ([15:44])

Timestamps: 18:13–22:10

• Comics as Dopamine Junkies: Stand-up is depicted as another “drug”—addictive, rewarding, but fraught.
• Comic’s Rut: “It’s depressing in Los Angeles... people are upset and their houses will burn down.” —Elliott ([18:28])

---

6. Dark Satire: Holocaust Comedies and Absurd Pitches

Timestamps: 50:04–56:17

• Excess of Holocaust Movies: They riff on the proliferation of Holocaust-themed films, joking about launching a yogurt shop “near Auschwitz” in a darkly satirical script pitch.

• Quote: “I want more movies like that where the Holocaust is going on—but it’s more about people having lunch in a courtyard.” —Elliott ([51:14])

• Elaborate Movie Pitch: The group concocts a farcical narrative where one character is a Jewish man hiding in Argentina post-war, and the other is his former lover and collaborator—riffing on unrequited love, “sucking off Hitler,” and ridiculous plot twists, all as a showcase of taboo-breaking humor ([53:02–54:50]).

---

7. LA Food Scene: Real and Imaginary

Timestamps: 67:13–73:25

• Best Restaurants Bit: They riff on famous LA eateries—Peujol, Damien, Chosan, Bestia—before Elliott weaves a long con about the hottest new eatery, “ShenChan Chen.” He calls the “restaurant” to make a reservation, successfully duping the room ([69:11]).
  • Quote: “If it's not, welcome to Arby’s. I’m going to be—” —Tim ([68:45])
• Confession: At episode’s end, Elliott admits the restaurant was a ruse; his realtor played the host on the phone, texting back with Asian characters as part of the deception ([97:01]).

Timestamps: 31:17–34:42, 80:04–81:25

• Acting Anxieties: The comedians discuss acting alongside legends (Joaquin Phoenix, Brendan Gleeson), with plenty of imposter syndrome (“I shouldn't be here”).
• Sociopathic Actors: They reflect on actors' ability to bomb onstage yet feel nothing—“That’s a sociopath... They’re not phased. They could put someone in a gas chamber. I could. Because I’m a Nazi sociopath.” —Elliott ([80:15])

---

9. Movie Buff Banter, Flaky Truths, and Top 5 Films

Timestamps: 43:07–49:00

• Actual Top Picks: Both try to name top five films, including Bird Cage, Casino, Tommy Boy, Nixon, and The Dark Knight. They riff on classics and fake knowledge about each, playfully testing each other.

---

10. Reflections: Love, Jadedness, and Wanting Change

Timestamps: 89:59–94:29

• Love on the Spectrum: Inspired by the Netflix show, the comics get semi-serious, lamenting how their own capacity for innocent, electric romance has been blunted by years in comedy and substance use.

  • Quote: “A kiss does nothing for me... you have to stick your two fingers in my butthole for any response.” —Bobby ([90:14])
  • “But when I saw Connor kiss, the purity of that... that’s what love is.” —Tim ([90:31])

• Can Comedians Change? They ponder if parenthood could make them less self-obsessed, wondering whether they could be good dads.

  • Quote: “Are we selfless enough to raise children? That’s a hard question.” —Elliott ([93:01])

---

11. The Final Confession: The Restaurant Prank

Timestamps: 96:03–98:06

• Elliott reveals the whole “ShenChan Chen” restaurant was a ruse, engineered with help from his realtor, to showcase just how well comics can sell a lie. It's a meta-joke on flakiness, embellishment, and gullibility—a fitting coda for the episode’s theme.
  • Quote: “That’s what a good lie is.” —Elliott ([97:35])
  • “It was a bit. We worked up this for six months.” —Elliott ([97:51])

[Bobby Lee]

Say hello to our guest woman.

[Korean Comedian]

I'm a woman.

[Tim Dillon]

We don't have a woman today.

[Elliott Choi]

She didn't come.

[Tim Dillon]

She hasn't been on it for, like, six months.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, I don't know. It's my favorite show. I should have noticed. I should have noticed that.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah, you should.

[Elliott Choi]

One of those things. I didn't realize.

[Tim Dillon]

I didn't get a lot of sleep.

[Elliott Choi]

How are you?

[Korean Comedian]

Good. Tim.

[Elliott Choi]

What?

[Korean Comedian]

His name is Tim.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, I know.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

Thank you. What's going on?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, no worries. I thought his name was Tim as well. That's very interesting.

[Tim Dillon]

And I've never met a Mexican named Tim, have you?

[Elliott Choi]

Not yet, but I'm for it.

[Tim Dillon]

Maybe when we have a baby. Tim, I'd love to. You would adopt a baby with me?

[Elliott Choi]

I don't believe in adoption.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, steal. Would you steal a baby with me? Yes. Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

Sure.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. So. I don't start over. Can I have more volume? Okay. Fourth time's a charm.

[Elliott Choi]

Thank you for having me. I'm sorry I canceled seven others.

[Tim Dillon]

Tim. Dylan. Give him a round of applause. What a wonderful, wonderful. Yeah. I hate fruit flies. So we have Tim Dillon. He is probably one of my favorite comics right now. I don't know why.

[Elliott Choi]

I appreciate that. It's very nice of you and you've said that other places, and I always appreciate it when you say okay.

[Tim Dillon]

Anyway, just, you know, we've had. We've had. We've had our problems, our differences.

[Elliott Choi]

We have many years.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. I don't want to dig back history back.

[Elliott Choi]

No.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

But they were very silly.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm gonna.

[Elliott Choi]

It was silly.

[Tim Dillon]

What?

[Elliott Choi]

It was very silly.

[Tim Dillon]

What? What do you think it was?

[Elliott Choi]

It wasn't like a deep seated anger. It was. We were.

[Tim Dillon]

What was it? What do you think it was?

[Elliott Choi]

We were like, mad. What was it?

[Tim Dillon]

I can't. I remembered. I remember what it is.

[Elliott Choi]

What was it?

[Tim Dillon]

No, you remember because you up. You remember.

[Elliott Choi]

I. I was supposed to do something and I didn't do it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yes. That's. That's your whole life, though. But how is that.

[Elliott Choi]

But, Bobby, that's also a little bit of your life now.

[Tim Dillon]

Reversal.

[Elliott Choi]

What do you mean, a little bit?

[Tim Dillon]

You know.

[Elliott Choi]

Tell me you also don't do things sometimes. Yeah.

[Guest or Producer]

Who do you think is more flaky?

[Elliott Choi]

We also do think. Well, sometimes you also will forget a thing, right?

[Tim Dillon]

No, I'll do things. I won't do things because you won't do them. So I'll give you an example.

[Elliott Choi]

I'll give you.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. Rfk.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes. Right. I do like that.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

So even, by the way, even when we were mad at each other.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

We were still back channeling on what we should and shouldn't do. It was like when Russia and the US.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, I see.

[Elliott Choi]

Were about to nuke each other.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

There were still back channel negotiations.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

To try to prevent that. Even when maybe we weren't happy with each other. We're still like, we're not going to get on a boat with rfk.

[Tim Dillon]

Like the Cuban Missile crisis.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

There was back channeling going on.

[Elliott Choi]

We said, we're not going to get on a boat with Adriana from the Sopranos and talk about vaccines. Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

For two hours in Santa Monica.

[Tim Dillon]

But one. One incident has nothing to do with the other. That's my problem, though.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. But I'm trying to remember what it was.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm going to tell you what it is.

[Elliott Choi]

I was in New York, right?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Oh, Can I tell you what it is?

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

All right. So it was for our 300th.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Bobby Lee]

400.

[Tim Dillon]

400.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

So, you know, we're. We're coming up on our 500th, right. It's a big celebratory thing.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

You know, I mean, it's like when Koreans turn 60. It's a huge thing.

[Elliott Choi]

It's a big deal.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Bobby Lee]

We had a choir.

[Tim Dillon]

We had a choir. Didn't we have an El Marachi band?

[Bobby Lee]

No, that was bad. Friends. We had a choir here.

[Tim Dillon]

We had a choir here that came in. We had a Whole thing said we balloons.

[Elliott Choi]

I feel very bad.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm not. No, don't. Because I'm going to tell you what we had, and it was a big. We were so excited to have you.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

And then like, maybe 20 minutes be. Before the show started, I called you and you go, I'm in the Hamptons. It's a great answer, though, that in my mind, when I sleep at night, I hear that sometimes I'm in the Hamptons. I'm in the Hamptons.

[Bobby Lee]

I'm in the Hampton.

[Elliott Choi]

I felt really bad because I had a. I was eating a lobster roll and it made it worse.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Oh, it did.

[Elliott Choi]

I felt bad.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And I felt bad. But I. I've apolog.

[Tim Dillon]

You have. But I'm just saying. But that. And I will never discuss it.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

But you double down on your thing.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

You know, I mean, because I think what happens is you get defensive.

[Elliott Choi]

I got defensive.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? You're here now.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm here now because what I. I believe. Yeah. In a path forward for the country.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you do. Wow. Because you're a big proponent. Proponent of tariffs.

[Elliott Choi]

I believe in tariffs on a level that no one does. I know so much tariffs on things.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I believe in emotional tariffs.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you do.

[Elliott Choi]

Where you levy and you make someone pay to be who they are.

[Tim Dillon]

Raw. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means, but I like it.

[Elliott Choi]

But I'm a terror. I mean, you know, like, if I.

[Tim Dillon]

Get a mail order bride from China, there should be a tariff on that.

[Elliott Choi]

There's got to be.

[Tim Dillon]

How much money do you think we got to put.

[Tim Dillon]

The tariffs. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Another thing is, I've noticed about you is. If I may.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes, I am. You may.

[Tim Dillon]

I never said that I was gonna bring that. Oh, that's insane. What you just.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I thought it was her. I had a whole Asian style.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. And.

[Elliott Choi]

But it's not. It's a different.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, it's a different one.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

I'm also offended by that question.

[Elliott Choi]

No, I'm excited.

Is Jaime. Is your name like Jaime, like a derogatory name for a Jewish person? No, that's the craziest.

[Tim Dillon]

I know.

[Elliott Choi]

Jaime. That's what we call Jewish people where I'm from.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I apologize for staying on the back. Go ahead.

[Elliott Choi]

[Elliott Choi]

That's okay.

[Tim Dillon]

It's okay. And he was like.

[Elliott Choi]

It's a good act. This is going to be tough to deport because when ICE is asking question, he's going to throw him in different directions.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Where they have no idea what's going on.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think Mexico would want you back.

[Korean Comedian]

I'm not even from Mexico. I'm from Texas.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay. Anyway. Very good.

[Elliott Choi]

So we buried that hatchet.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. One being a full blown nightmare for me and I'd like to bring it up if I'm.

[Elliott Choi]

You're so famous. It's. It's unreal. That's really what it comes down.

[Tim Dillon]

That's not what I was gonna say.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

But that is true.

[Elliott Choi]

I was shocked. I realized you were known, but to the level was crazy.

[Tim Dillon]

Would you think I was an open micro. What the. You know what? I never fence about you, Tim.

[Elliott Choi]

I never thought.

[Tim Dillon]

You know what's offensive about you, Tim? Right?

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. You're shocked that people know who I am.

[Elliott Choi]

No.

[Tim Dillon]

Are you shocked that people know who the you are?

[Elliott Choi]

I'm shocked that anyone knows anyone.

[Tim Dillon]

But exactly.

[Elliott Choi]

It Was. It was so many young people and it was this. The amount of people and the age range and the different cultures was amazing. It's actually impressive. The blacks, well, that was a little startling.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

But no, but it was a lot of people that I was like, wow, that's awesome.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, I'm, you know, I'm. I don't know much about anything. Right. So my comedy level is very kind of young.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

And I think that maybe that's the reason what it is.

[Elliott Choi]

But the thing is, everybody was so happy to see.

[Tim Dillon]

But you took me to a rapper.

[Elliott Choi]

Wait, say it one more time. I don't know what it's called. Lie. Of course I didn't grow up in koala.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay. So long. And how many kids were in the family? One. You're the only kid.

[Elliott Choi]

That's it. It's just me.

[Tim Dillon]

And then your parents are still together?

[Elliott Choi]

No, my mother has died.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm sorry.

[Elliott Choi]

And I killed her.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, very good.

[Elliott Choi]

And it's an open investigation, but.

[Tim Dillon]

When did she die? Yeah, I know you don't like this.

[Elliott Choi]

And a half ago. No, I don't mind this question, but I'm Just trying to. It's such an exact. Like, I'm gonna get it wrong. And then people are gonna go, how can you not remember? And I'm gonna go, well, it wasn't. That's your family tariffs. Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

It's kind of cute.

[Tim Dillon]

Such a cute. Your mom's pretty.

[Elliott Choi]

She's pretty.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then. And they seem.

[Elliott Choi]

That's the communion in the. In the. The Catholic thing. You get the communion.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And that was.

[Tim Dillon]

You were a problem child. Look at your. You look like Damien from.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, I was. I like to. I like to. I like a little chaos.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Even as a kid, you were like a ramp up. Just.

[Elliott Choi]

It was fun to have fun.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It was fun to smoke cigs and do drug. I was doing blow at like 13 and stuff.

[Tim Dillon]

I did method. 12.

[Elliott Choi]

You did math at 12?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And what is that about us?

[Elliott Choi]

So it's. Something's wrong.

[Tim Dillon]

Is that what it is?

[Elliott Choi]

Something's not.

[Tim Dillon]

I've always said that going on. There's something wrong with.

[Elliott Choi]

No. Anyone doing math at 12 or below at 13?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

That's not the ideal, but something.

[Tim Dillon]

I know it's not the ideal, but did something happen before to trigger it? Because I know my thing.

[Elliott Choi]

I was just a. I was an actress. Little kid. I was acting like 6 years old and I was like this crazy kid, but I was never like molested or. I was never abused or beaten up or like burning with cigarettes. I didn't have to do the blow.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. But I did.

[Tim Dillon]

And were your parents concerned?

[Elliott Choi]

They. It wasn't great.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

But they didn't know. They didn't know I was doing that. They were just like, oh, maybe smoking weed. That's bad. They hated that. But I was bad kid.

[Tim Dillon]

And your dad's still around.

[Elliott Choi]

He's still around.

[Tim Dillon]

I mean, can I be honest? Can I ask an honest.

[Elliott Choi]

Of course.

[Tim Dillon]

Is he proud of you?

[Elliott Choi]

I. I think so, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

I mean, you're killing it.

[Elliott Choi]

I. Yeah, I think he's happy about it. I think it's a weird world. Meaning, like, you know, I think it's a. And it's an odd thing to do.

[Tim Dillon]

For a living, what we do.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It's. It's hard for people to understand. I think he know. He's very proud. It's going well. But I. I think it's weird for anyone to understand it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Like, if I was a regular person with a regular job and had two kids and lived a regular life, maybe they would like that more.

[Tim Dillon]

Maybe. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Right. I think I don't know.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Cuz my mom doesn't have any grandkids. Right. You know, she asks questions like, are you okay?

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

You go, no.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. I mean, my father says that in the same voice, calls up in an Asian voice. Are you okay?

[Tim Dillon]

Really?

[Elliott Choi]

Craziest. Crazy. I don't know why he does it.

[Tim Dillon]

I would make that choice.

[Elliott Choi]

He won't stop.

[Tim Dillon]

Is he the Groundlings or something?

[Elliott Choi]

He wants to find out as a gay, as an Asian woman.

[Tim Dillon]

Wow. Wow.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Go ahead.

[Elliott Choi]

So I think they like don't know. I think they're proud, but they don't. You know, it's a weird thing.

[Tim Dillon]

Yep. What's. I mean, as a parent, if I had a kid, it was like, I want to do stand up.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

I would be worried because you can see the first five years being so brutal.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Was it brutal for you or.

[Elliott Choi]

It was hard. I didn't have any money.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It was fun.

[Tim Dillon]

It's fun. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It's a lot of fun.

[Tim Dillon]

You get addict to it. It's fun. But it's like, it's dopamine hits. It's another drug.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. It's a big drug. And I don't think they care that it would be hard. I think they were just kind of like. They were like, okay, yeah, good for you.

[Tim Dillon]

Here's how I know we're similar. Because a couple of weeks ago on a Monday, you called the club and goes, yeah, I can't. Do you have any spots for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I do the same thing.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Is there anything I can do? Because. Yeah, I can't be in here sometimes.

[Tim Dillon]

I know.

[Elliott Choi]

And I get angry.

[Tim Dillon]

Were you scared that your house is.

[Korean Comedian]

No, your house is okay, right?

[Elliott Choi]

It's all. I mean, listen.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, go.

[Elliott Choi]

So what if it didn't burn down? What does that mean? I'm unaffected. I'm affected.

[Tim Dillon]

You're not affected.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm as affected as someone who's home burned down.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you really are. Oh, tell me some of the feelings you're going through, you face.

[Elliott Choi]

Because the thing is, I don't like this idea that it's just because someone's house burned down. They're more deserving of sympathy than I am. That's crazy.

[Tim Dillon]

It is crazy.

[Elliott Choi]

We're part of a human fucking community.

[Tim Dillon]

Connected.

[Elliott Choi]

We're part of a human community. And when I went to the Montage in Laguna beach and I said, I'd like an ice cream sundae. And she said, oh, we don't make them after 11. I said, oh, I'm sorry. My house burned down and they brought an ice cream sundae. And then I ate it in the lobby and I pretended to be on the phone with an insurance person. And my friend goes, why are you saying all this stuff about insurance to me?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And I said, just do this for a minute.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, for the ice cream lady?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, yeah, for her. And then she goes. And I said, and here's some money. And she goes, you know what? It's on the house. I said, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

It's. It's like when I. You know, like when tragedy happens with Asians. Like when Virginia. Virginia Tech.

[Elliott Choi]

You're affected.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, I was affected by Virginia. And also since it was a Korean guy for a year, I was Chinese.

[Elliott Choi]

That's right.

[Tim Dillon]

You can do that.

[Elliott Choi]

I knew a guy. I was roommates with a guy who's Russian. Then the Ukraine war happened. Now he's Ukrainian.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, exactly.

[Elliott Choi]

He just decided.

[Tim Dillon]

He decide.

[Elliott Choi]

You can decide.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, I can decide.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. It's my choice.

[Elliott Choi]

So that's why I called the club. I was really depressed because everyone here's got to get their act together.

[Tim Dillon]

What do you mean?

[Elliott Choi]

With this. With this city.

[Tim Dillon]

I know, I know.

[Elliott Choi]

People have to be.

[Tim Dillon]

It is. It is glum.

[Elliott Choi]

It's. It's gloomy.

[Tim Dillon]

It's gloomy.

[Elliott Choi]

It's gloomy.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, and it's all day. Everyone's to going, oh, I have no job. My house is burned down. I can't work.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

There was a home invasion. Tied my wife up.

[Tim Dillon]

Right, right.

[Elliott Choi]

And I'm like, hey, man, not what this is about. That's not what any of this is about. I don't want to hear any of this.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Come to me with positive, happy things.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. You know, like, let me be a neighbor. Hey, Tim.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

I know my wife died, but.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

I found a butterfly.

[Elliott Choi]

No, this is what Ellie is now Elliot goes like, ellie used to be this Ellie used to be like, how are you? You're doing good. I'm doing good. I'm doing so good, I don't even want to talk about it. I hear you're doing good. You're like, I'm doing actually great.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

You're like, I'm doing great. Here's what LA is now.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

How do you think that girl from Buffy died? Why did her liver fail?

[Bobby Lee]

Wait, who was that?

[Elliott Choi]

And I go, I don't know. Why her liver. And they go, they told her her liver was going to fail a few years before. Wow. And then it failed. And then I go, hey, man.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Not what I want.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, exactly.

[Elliott Choi]

So I think we just got to get happier.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh. So you know what I don't like either? You're driving by the Viper Room with some friend from out of town.

[Elliott Choi]

Sure.

[Tim Dillon]

And they go. They go, is that where River Phoenix died?

[Elliott Choi]

I know. It happened the other day to me. So long ago it happened.

[Tim Dillon]

And then you gotta pull over or take a photo with the guy. You know what I mean? Exactly. Where? You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then.

[Tim Dillon]

And I love. What a great talent. And I'm so sorry. Joaquin, go ahead.

[Elliott Choi]

I. I did a film with Joaquin and.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you. Oh, yeah. Joker, too. It was your explanation of that. That. That day is so.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, yeah. And you know, listen, I'm.

[Tim Dillon]

It's so funny.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm grateful for the opportunity.

[Tim Dillon]

Were you nervous?

[Elliott Choi]

It was so nerve wracking. Because he's like the best actor of our time.

[Tim Dillon]

Of all time.

[Elliott Choi]

One of them.

[Tim Dillon]

One of them. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then I'm not. You know what I mean? I'm not terrible, but I'm. I'm really not.

[Tim Dillon]

We're. We're good for comics.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm not in the conversation. It's.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm never in the mix. I'm never in the mix.

[Elliott Choi]

No. The Daniel Day Lewis. Him.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It's not me.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

And you're better than Snow White.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm better than her.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm absolutely. Look how good I get. It's actually, by the way, I actually want you to review this and tell me if I'm good. You've done more acting to me.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

Don't lie to me. Tell me if I'm good.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Korean Comedian]

We can't hear.

[Bobby Lee]

[Tim Dillon]

Can you sign my book? Yeah. Pretty good.

[Elliott Choi]

It's not bad.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. Natural, I mean. And by the way, Mark Maron would have done better.

[Elliott Choi]

It only took.

[Tim Dillon]

Let me just give you a list of.

[Elliott Choi]

He did this.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, I wish Mark Maron and Santino would have been better, by the way.

[Elliott Choi]

I wish they both did the movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, Fortune fumes are way better too.

[Elliott Choi]

She. She would have been too goofy.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you think so?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, but not. I don't think she would.

[Tim Dillon]

You also look completely different. You.

[Elliott Choi]

They made me look different.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, that's what acting is.

[Tim Dillon]

That's exactly. Is that what acting is?

[Elliott Choi]

What Act.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, my God.

[Elliott Choi]

Actually, acting.

[Tim Dillon]

They never taught me that in class.

[Elliott Choi]

Look how good I'm doing right now. That's him now look how scared I look.

[Tim Dillon]

Look.

[Elliott Choi]

I bite my lip cuz I'm scared.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, wow. That's amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

That's a good choice.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And it only took 30 or 40 takes to get that.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. What was push pause? What was that like? Because I'm in my mind. If I'm like, you know, you know, because we're. I come from the open mic system. Ghetto. Ghetto.

[Elliott Choi]

So did I.

[Tim Dillon]

No, there's no glitz to it.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

And then finally one day they ask you to do something and you show up and it's a. Because I've been on movies this big before where it's, it's a big to do. There's a huge crowd, It's a huge deal. It's a huge deal. You have a guy just, you know, I mean, this way, this way. You know what I mean?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

It's a whole thing and it's like. And you're nervous.

[Elliott Choi]

You're so nervous. I was. So I called my agent going, I shouldn't be here.

[Tim Dillon]

I know, Me too. I do that.

[Elliott Choi]

And he's like, Everyone calls and says, yeah, I, I.

[Tim Dillon]

When I was in the Dictator, I told my handler, I go, I don't.

[Elliott Choi]

Think I can do this. Yeah. I was like, I. I don't know if I'm good.

[Tim Dillon]

Right, right.

[Elliott Choi]

And then I did. It ended up being fine.

[Tim Dillon]

It was fine.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. You know, but it is nerve wracking because these guys, like, Joaquin's brilliant. He is Brendan Gleason's brilliant.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, my God. Amazing. You're in a scene and you're in.

[Elliott Choi]

A scene with these two guys. And this is like the first scene I've done in any movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, well, except for your head getting chopped off.

[Elliott Choi]

But that was after this came out later because they edited it for two years.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, so that was your first movie.

[Elliott Choi]

It's the first scene.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, my God.

[Elliott Choi]

And it's Joaquin Phoenix and Brendan Glees. I've never done a scene at all. And that's the first, the first one I do.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And you know, I mean, I carried it a little.

[Tim Dillon]

I think that scene. Yes. I think that's part of it.

[Elliott Choi]

Is me carrying it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And putting them on my back and walking around.

[Tim Dillon]

I wouldn't go that far, but very good.

[Elliott Choi]

Have you seen Gaga net? It's a big mess. She made a big mess.

[Tim Dillon]

I know, I know. She did. She did, she did.

[Elliott Choi]

I don't, I don't like this.

[Tim Dillon]

And then you, you, you. During the shooting, do you think it was going to be that bad though or not.

[Elliott Choi]

We all thought.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you really thought.

[Elliott Choi]

We all knew.

[Tim Dillon]

No way. You know, I thought Borderlands would be a hit. Oh, yeah. I thought it was gonna be the great.

[Elliott Choi]

Did you really?

[Tim Dillon]

No, no, I don't. But here's why. Here's why.

[Elliott Choi]

I don't believe I almost got that role.

[Tim Dillon]

I know you did, you guys, I tried really hard. No, no, it's not that. When I was.

[Elliott Choi]

We auditioned always for the same role and he got to.

[Tim Dillon]

No, no. You the bus driver.

[Elliott Choi]

The Russian.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, the Russian guy. Yeah. When I was in Budapest and I met Eli, he. The first thing he came out is like, Tim always. Tim almost got this movie. I was like, oh, he read with you.

[Elliott Choi]

I did it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then they said. They said we went with someone else. And I went, okay, thank you.

[Tim Dillon]

And then what was his childhood friend he went to. Grew up with. Oh, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

But here's the other thing. It is funny because that movie ate. It would. Borderlands didn't do good. Yeah. So it would be funny if I was in Joker.

[Tim Dillon]

I think God saved you, right? You think it saved you?

[Elliott Choi]

I think it was good to not be in two studio bombs. Massive.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Massive loss of income.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. I mean, I've never been in anything that's like. I've guest art on things that were pretty good, but it's like, I've never been in, like, a movie where it was a hit or whatever. It's so hard.

[Elliott Choi]

Here's what I thought. We were in Joker and we're sitting there and the scene. This. The set's amazing.

[Tim Dillon]

Wait, I got 10. When did Joker.

[Bobby Lee]

What do you think? Joker too. Guys, see if you. Did you beat it.

[Tim Dillon]

7% 17.

[Bobby Lee]

Tim wins 31.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, those people are crazy. Lock them up. Lock those people.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

We're sitting on set. They built the Arkham Asylum. It's amazing.

[Tim Dillon]

Amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

And we're sitting there making it rain. They're doing all this crazy stuff.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then we hear Joaquin go, for once in my life, I have someone who needs me. Someone who needs me.

[Tim Dillon]

And I remember that.

[Elliott Choi]

And. And I just look at the guy next to me.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And we went, oh, no.

[Tim Dillon]

Wow. I would have done the same.

[Elliott Choi]

Immediately, we're like, this is not at all what anybody who was a fan of that first movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Wanted to see.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. It's an odd choice.

[Elliott Choi]

It's an odd choice.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. And this is. I mean. I mean, usually I don't like executives getting involved and. But somebody. I really don't.

[Elliott Choi]

I think they didn't like the fan base of the first movie, they thought it attracted, like, incels or whatever, politically volatile people. And they said maybe if in the next movie we make, make it like a gay show tunes musical that will make.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, incels deserve movies as well.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, for sure.

[Tim Dillon]

Crazy Rich Asians for Asians.

[Elliott Choi]

That's a great movie, right?

[Tim Dillon]

Dead Presidents for Black People.

[Elliott Choi]

Bro, that's one of my favorite movies.

[Tim Dillon]

What?

[Elliott Choi]

Crazy Rich Asians?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. They wouldn't even see me for the movie. Let's not bring it up.

[Elliott Choi]

He could be Cuban and that's what's good. But he's actually Asian.

All right.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. 4, 300. Very good. Thank you so much.

[Elliott Choi]

All right.

[Tim Dillon]

I heard. Oh, you have another script. Very nice. So that's what it's about. It's a rich Asian guy meets a poor age.

[Elliott Choi]

Never seen it.

[Bobby Lee]

He refuses.

[Elliott Choi]

It's actually a really good movie because they have a beautiful home and it's fun and it's good.

[Tim Dillon]

Are you being real with me, dude?

[Elliott Choi]

I'm dead serious.

[Guest or Producer]

Three times.

[Elliott Choi]

It's actually not a bad movie.

[Tim Dillon]

So then is it better than My Fat Greek Wedding?

[Elliott Choi]

Here's why it's not.

[Tim Dillon]

What I'm drinking. Okay, so tell me why it's not.

[Elliott Choi]

Here's why it's not.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

The Fat Greek wedding is just a big, disgusting.

[Tim Dillon]

There's only one fat lady right in it.

[Elliott Choi]

It doesn't matter.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, okay.

[Elliott Choi]

They're heinous people. Furry.

[Tim Dillon]

And the food's good. Food's good. You love food, but the food's good.

[Elliott Choi]

But the Asian food's good, too. What? Crazy rich Asians is good because old Asian ladies will get very serious in the middle of it, and they'll pull someone to them and go into my country, we have a tradition, right. And then they make a dumpling very quietly.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

You know, there's something intense about that.

[Korean Comedian]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

And beautiful. But My Big Fat Greek Wedding might be funnier because there's less. There's no. And there's.

[Tim Dillon]

And these Greek ladies are loud when they make baklava.

[Elliott Choi]

They're loud and they're silly. But the Asians are kind of very serious about it. And they're like, yeah, we have a tradition. And they play Marjan. Right. Or they go and they play. I may watch it when I get home. They're so good. How do we attack Paul Harbor?

[Korean Comedian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Anyway, so you think Greek Wedding is not as good, then?

[Elliott Choi]

No, I think it's better as a comedy.

[Tim Dillon]

I remember because I've seen a couple times. I remember back in the day, I liked it. It. The Greek Wedding. Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It's fun.

[Tim Dillon]

But what.

[Elliott Choi]

You need to get back to those.

[Tim Dillon]

Are you a film guy?

[Elliott Choi]

I love films.

[Tim Dillon]

Really, Bobby? Like what?

[Elliott Choi]

Like, what do I think?

[Tim Dillon]

Like, if I was, like, from an alien. I'm an alien from a different planet.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

I come down, I go to the hand.

[Elliott Choi]

My favorite movie.

[Tim Dillon]

And like. Well, let me act it out.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

Yes. That's me walking. Okay. Because I've been to your house. Yes. Your old house. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, that sounds like an alien outside. Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

And then I knock, you open the door.

[Elliott Choi]

Hi.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, my God. It's a marshmallow. What?

[Bobby Lee]

You Asians.

[Tim Dillon]

Aliens talk like Asians, too. Oh, my God. It's a gigantic marshmallow, like in Ghostbusters.

[Elliott Choi]

But. And you would giggle because Asians would love that.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, yeah, they would. We would love that Marsh. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Would love it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah. Tell me, my friend. Yes.

[Elliott Choi]

You're still walking.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, I walk in place.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, that makes sense. Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Also, you're so big, I can't get through you.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes. It's a scene from Pokemon.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. And your head.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

This is your belly.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then you ask about films.

[Tim Dillon]

Tell me about movies. The best top five movie of your time.

[Elliott Choi]

Top five. Yeah. It's.

[Tim Dillon]

Be real.

[Elliott Choi]

Number one, Easter Sunday. Number two, Easter Sunday. Number three, Easter Sunday. Number four, Easter. No. Which I love. I love. My godson is legitimately Filipino.

[Tim Dillon]

I know. And I'm sorry for that joke earlier about the plaque and all that.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, it's actually wrong because he's. He's also Taiwanese and Chinese.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, well, then throw that out first, too. Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

Top five movies. The Bird Cage is one of the funniest movies. Great movie. One of the best screenplays ever written. Nichols in May, Legend.

[Tim Dillon]

Amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay. Casino is one of the best movies.

[Tim Dillon]

One of the best movies of all time.

[Elliott Choi]

Of all time.

[Tim Dillon]

Maybe not the best course movie that.

[Elliott Choi]

No. But, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

Of course. But I think that's a. A great movie.

[Tim Dillon]

I would go Bean streets, but. Okay, go ahead.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay. That's fair.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay. We're not, you know, we're not Cisco and Ebert. We should have a show like that.

[Elliott Choi]

We absolutely.

[Martin Starr]

Oh, my God.

[Elliott Choi]

We absolutely should.

[Tim Dillon]

Number three.

[Elliott Choi]

Number three. I would say I'm gonna go with Tommy Boy. Classic.

[Tim Dillon]

Really? Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

As a classic comedy.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Hard. In that pantheon of comedies and doing.

[Tim Dillon]

That Theo Vaughan movie with Dave.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

I mean, doing a scene with them.

[Elliott Choi]

It's wild, right? It's.

[Tim Dillon]

I feel like, wild. Kind of like a dream almost. It's a dream because you don't feel like you're, you know, like Joker 2 or you're nervous.

[Martin Starr]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

It felt more like we're at a club.

[Elliott Choi]

You want to have fun.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. And you want to make mistakes. You can make mistakes.

[Elliott Choi]

You want to do the right thing. Right.

[Tim Dillon]

And they're like, just do whatever you want. I like that. So Tommy Boy 4, there's an Oliver.

[Elliott Choi]

Stone movie called Nixon, which you've never seen.

[Tim Dillon]

I love Nixon.

[Elliott Choi]

You've seen it?

[Tim Dillon]

Of course. I've seen everyone.

Wow.

[Elliott Choi]

Nixon. Interesting. Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

By the way. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Thank you.

[Tim Dillon]

What were you joking with?

[Elliott Choi]

No, no, I. I was shocked that you've seen it.

[Tim Dillon]

I've never seen it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What? Dude, I lie. I'm a liar. Dude. My whole life is a lie.

[Korean Comedian]

No, it's not.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. It should come to no surprise.

[Korean Comedian]

Oh, it's okay.

[Tim Dillon]

I've never seen any of those movies.

[Elliott Choi]

Said that's not true.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. I've seen Casino Birdcage and I would say that.

[Elliott Choi]

I would say in the rounding and this is just off the top of my head.

[Tim Dillon]

So people. Yeah, I hope it's from the top of your head.

[Tim Dillon]

What the talk, man? Just say it.

[Elliott Choi]

It's gonna take me an Hour. Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I would say kind of like the Dark Knight.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, wow. Yeah. You know what? I'll tell you why about the Dark Knight.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

It's because there was so much anticipation for me when you saw the ads coming out and, you know, the pre photos of Heath Ledger.

[Elliott Choi]

I thought it was brilliant. As good as you can get with that.

[Tim Dillon]

Exactly.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

So amazing to me.

[Elliott Choi]

Those are off time. I had five good ones.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, very good.

[Elliott Choi]

They're not bad.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. So there's, you know, like the Cullen brothers.

[Elliott Choi]

I do. I was just off the top.

[Tim Dillon]

All right. Yeah. I mean, raising Arizona would be one of them. I mean, if you haven't seen that.

[Elliott Choi]

Movie, defending your life without Burt Brooks is one.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, my God, I love that.

[Elliott Choi]

That scene is one of the best.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Very, very good.

[Elliott Choi]

Not Meryl Streep, Julie Hagerty. Doesn't matter.

[Tim Dillon]

No, wait, wait.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, defending your life. You're right. I'm lost in America. I'm talking about. You're right. Defending your life is brilliant. I'm sorry, but I'm doing a trick on you.

[Tim Dillon]

That was a trick. What a trick. Wow. You rabble rouser. Wow. Wow. I'm dizzy now. Jesus Christ. You have no idea what the you're talking about.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

It was so stupid.

[Elliott Choi]

Dude, I'm sorry. I was wrong.

[Tim Dillon]

You know, like E.T. i'm sorry. That was Schindler's List.

[Elliott Choi]

Should lose. This is a really good movie. It's really good.

[Tim Dillon]

It's so good.

[Elliott Choi]

It's sad.

[Tim Dillon]

It's sad.

[Elliott Choi]

Isn't it sad?

[Tim Dillon]

Well, yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It's like the saddest movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I've ever seen.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Very, very sad. Yep.

[Elliott Choi]

To some, it's sad to me. Special Special on Netflix April 15th. It is the saddest. Very sad. And it happens. I watched Schindler's List and this might seem extremely. Once every two to three days, just remind myself of man's inhumanity to man. Yeah, well, some people might say it's too much.

[Tim Dillon]

I love Holocaust movies in general.

[Elliott Choi]

I. I never get enough of them.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. I can't.

[Elliott Choi]

They make what, 12 a year? And I. All of them. I consume.

[Tim Dillon]

I post out my lube.

[Elliott Choi]

Even the new ones where it's like, not even about the Holocaust. It's about someone having a shrimp cocktail near the Holocaust.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

What was that movie? The. The Family that Lived Near Holocaust. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that movie?

[Elliott Choi]

I forget what they call it Just came out the.

[Tim Dillon]

It just came out.

[Elliott Choi]

Y. 10 minutes of.

[Tim Dillon]

I was like, I can't watch this.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. No, yeah, yeah. It's just the Holocaust is going on in the background and they're having like tea.

[Tim Dillon]

Imagine having sex with your wife and you're hearing the background.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. I forget what it's called.

[Martin Starr]

The brutalist.

[Elliott Choi]

No, no, no. It's called the.

[Tim Dillon]

You like that, baby?

[Elliott Choi]

I was like, it's something else.

[Tim Dillon]

I don't know.

[Elliott Choi]

It's about the Holocaust, but not.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, it's about the Holocaust.

[Elliott Choi]

I want more movies like that where the Holocaust is going on.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

But it's more about people having a lunch in a courtyard.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. Or maybe like, I know a good story. Maybe opening up a yogurt land.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Like you and I are opening up a yogurt land near Auschwitz.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. And we don't have to. The stream. We're fighting about flavors.

[Elliott Choi]

We're arguing about flavors.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And you even say to me, you go, there's a Holocaust going on. We shouldn't fight like this.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then I go, you know what?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

This is important too.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And that's the pivotal moment.

[Tim Dillon]

How about this?

[Elliott Choi]

You realize, you're like, oh, what we're doing is important.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

We can only control what we control. The here and now matters.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

And it's a big pivotal moment in the movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. Or maybe you're like, you know, you can't do that flavor. And I'm like, well, I think, you know, mozz ball bagel, right? Yogurt, right? And you're like, right now. I don't think the timing's wrong.

[Elliott Choi]

I think the timing's.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm going to commit to this flavor, dude.

[Elliott Choi]

Right, right. That's a good point. You know what I mean?

[Tim Dillon]

We could have a little funny scene with.

[Martin Starr]

Super funny scene.

[Elliott Choi]

I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Thank you. We will write it up.

[Elliott Choi]

Up. It's not a bad idea.

[Tim Dillon]

Were there yogurt lands back then? I don't know. But no, no. Or maybe a Pinkberry. Whatever.

[Elliott Choi]

Something.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, something like that.

[Elliott Choi]

The self serve frozen yogurt trend during the Holocaust isn't a terrible. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's not a bad idea.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

Because there is something about.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Like it's whispered tones.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

Because that's what all these movies are. That are Holocaust adjacent.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

So someone comes in and they're putting the graham cracker on their.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

Original tart flavor. And. And. And we, we go into them and we go, it's horrible what's happening. And. And they go, yes, it Is. And then. Then you put a cherry on it.

[Tim Dillon]

Right?

[Elliott Choi]

Because that's what it. It's just the cherry.

[Tim Dillon]

Cause cherry can, like, divert your attention to happiness, I think.

[Elliott Choi]

Of course. Even in the uncle.

[Tim Dillon]

My uncle's. And then put a cherry on it. Wow.

[Elliott Choi]

Man.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Did you see Casablanca or whatever? Casablanca was around back then, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Two SS officers come in.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Bobby Lee]

Oh, George.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, you're gonna Mozart at. You're gonna make it better. Yes. This is the writer.

[Elliott Choi]

We're very conflicted. We're very conflicted.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

About serving the meal.

[Tim Dillon]

Gurt.

[Elliott Choi]

And we have a fight in the back, and you go, what? They're. Do you know what they're doing? And they want to come in here and have yogurt. And I go, everyone has the right to yogurt. Everyone. Wow. And it's. And you know what? You go, you know what? You're right.

[Tim Dillon]

I think you're right.

[Elliott Choi]

You're right.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, because in the movie, I would be Japanese.

[Elliott Choi]

You're Japanese.

[Tim Dillon]

So I'm kind of not.

[Elliott Choi]

You mean you're Japanese?

[Tim Dillon]

Well, the Japanese and Germany at that time.

[Elliott Choi]

And then I'm allies. I'm pretending to not be Jewish, but I'm actually Jewish.

[Tim Dillon]

That's great.

[Elliott Choi]

It's actually amazing, right? And then at the end, you. You pull. You. You rip my shirt, and you see the Jewish star, and you go, I knew it.

[Tim Dillon]

Right? I knew. And then what do I do? I can't sabotage it. We're best friends.

[Elliott Choi]

No, we're friends.

[Tim Dillon]

And we're also lovers in it.

[Elliott Choi]

We're lovers with you. And then you go. You go.

[Tim Dillon]

You go.

[Elliott Choi]

You go. You go. You go to the camps. You fat. This is the end.

[Tim Dillon]

Wait, I say that.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, you. You say that, but you have to deliver it in a very. You got to. You got to nail it.

[Tim Dillon]

Wait, so you go to the camp. You fat.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Martin Starr]

Accent.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Well, then you. You go to camp. You fat.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes. And then I go. And then I go. And then I go. Gladly.

[Tim Dillon]

Credits.

[Elliott Choi]

And then the credit. And then I walk out powerfully.

[Tim Dillon]

No, it turns black and white, and you're red.

[Elliott Choi]

Powerfully.

[Tim Dillon]

I walk wearing a red dress or something. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And I. And I walk out. And I walk out, and you don't really know what happened, but you think I. You think that I voluntarily went to the death camp, which is, like, the most badass thing ever, right? It's like, kill. It's like badass.

[Tim Dillon]

Can I put, like, a part two in there? You get to the camp, they can't fit you into the guest.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, what they do is they.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. So they go, we're going to build a bigger one. You know where to keep them alive.

[Elliott Choi]

I suck off all of the guards, right?

[Tim Dillon]

The whole protein, the whole army survive with that.

[Elliott Choi]

I suck off the entire army.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And then Hitler brings me to Argentina because I was so good. And I suck off. Wait.

[Tim Dillon]

So what do you say? Right? He did. He did.

[Elliott Choi]

He lives in Argentina.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And I suck off. And then literally I bump into you down the road. This is years later. You're on a family vacation. You've gone straight now.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, I'm hiding my gay.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes, you're hiding your gay. You're in a bar and I'm in a bar.

[Tim Dillon]

In Argentina. In Argentina.

[Elliott Choi]

In Argentina. And you go, I can't believe you're alive, you fat. You went to the kid. And I go, I've been sucking off Hitler for 20 years. And then it. Then it's over.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. It's credits or I think it'd be more. Can we just do more of a. Like, Bridge over Madison County. Is that the word movie?

[Guest or Producer]

River Kwai.

[Elliott Choi]

That.

[Tim Dillon]

No, not River Kwai.

[Elliott Choi]

No. Madison county is just the Bourne.

[Guest or Producer]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Is that the word? Bridges of Madison County. What is it with Clint Eastwood?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, we should.

[Tim Dillon]

It's about unrequited love. So when you're. I'm with my Japanese family. Yeah, Right.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

And I. There's a.

[Elliott Choi]

A.

[Tim Dillon]

A bar with a swastika. Swastika.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes. Right.

[Tim Dillon]

But then maybe a circle in a. No, too on it.

[Elliott Choi]

Right, Right.

[Tim Dillon]

Because you're trying to rebrand.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm like, hey, Hitler's trying to rebrand. Brand.

[Elliott Choi]

Hitler's rebrand.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. And I.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, Hitler's rebrand is a great idea.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. That's the third movie.

[Elliott Choi]

Where is Ted Saranda? Let's sit him down. Let's sit him down and let. Can you imagine him at a table? Just. And it's just me and you.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Talking. And he's just like this. He's like. And I go. And I go. And then I go, I've been sucking off Hitler for 20 years.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And he goes, yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay, okay.

[Tim Dillon]

But let me pitch my idea. So you're in there.

[Korean Comedian]

Sounds like another Borderlands movie.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

That part out sometimes. You're on now.

[Korean Comedian]

I'm listening to your movie.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Can I just pitch this idea, dude? And I walk by the window, I see you sucking off Hitler.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

Yes.

[Tim Dillon]

And I look inside, like, with. Through the. With my hands on the Window. Right. A tear.

[Bobby Lee]

Single tear.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. And a little shake with my hand.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. Right.

[Tim Dillon]

And then you. You're stalking. But then you look, right. We lock eyes.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

You have a tear.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

But we never see each other again. I just walk.

[Elliott Choi]

And in my tear, you just see the swastika light in the bar.

[Tim Dillon]

Dude, you zoom in.

[Elliott Choi]

If you zoom in.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. And there's a reflection in your tear of the swastika.

[Elliott Choi]

That's right.

[Tim Dillon]

But with a circle that says no too.

[Elliott Choi]

That's right.

[Tim Dillon]

Right, right, right. So, Teddy, Ted. What do you think?

[Elliott Choi]

Ted? He might let us.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, let us do it.

[Elliott Choi]

Let us do it.

[Tim Dillon]

All right. So let's go back to your family.

[Bobby Lee]

That was the.

[Elliott Choi]

How we got.

[Bobby Lee]

That was the longest.

[Elliott Choi]

Oh, right. I forgot that was about my family.

[Tim Dillon]

And you went 30 minutes.

[Elliott Choi]

I forgot that question was, you have a family. I forgot that was the question because it ended with me sucking off Hitler in Argentina.

[Bobby Lee]

Wild.

[Tim Dillon]

And. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

No, I didn't realize at that start. Okay, sorry.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm Irish.

[Tim Dillon]

If you did suck off Hitler.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

You think he would like it?

[Elliott Choi]

I don't know. Is it hard? You know, it's a blowjob and he's Hitler.

[Tim Dillon]

But there are good ways to do it.

[Elliott Choi]

I don't know.

[Tim Dillon]

It's like. It's anal, but it's magneto. Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

No, don't look at me.

[Tim Dillon]

That's what it sounded like to me, anyway. What do you mean? Like, Hitler is used to. He's jaded.

[Elliott Choi]

I just mean that, like, he's been through a lot.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. A joy or hardship.

[Elliott Choi]

It's. It was. He had a very tough go of it.

[Tim Dillon]

Right? You think so?

[Elliott Choi]

Well, he contributed to it.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Right.

[Elliott Choi]

With his actions.

[Tim Dillon]

Exactly.

[Elliott Choi]

And words.

[Tim Dillon]

Exactly. Actions. More.

[Elliott Choi]

You make a mess of life sometimes.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Like, I think when Hitler was sitting in Argentina, he probably said, I've made a mess of this.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Probably moments of him just like this.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. It would have been wild. It would have been wild. Had he been maybe really well adjusted and like.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Happy there.

[Tim Dillon]

Right, Right. But he's got. He's human, so there's got to be moments. It's like, that's too many. Too many.

[Elliott Choi]

Too many.

[Tim Dillon]

Too many.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. So many. So many.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Too many.

[Korean Comedian]

He's had a hard decision to make, you know?

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, explain to me.

[Bobby Lee]

Better defend yourself.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Let me ask you something. Has there ever been a Mexican, like, tyrant?

[Elliott Choi]

Yes. Has there ever been, like, one.

[Tim Dillon]

That is because China, we had Genghis Khan. He was a tyrant.

[Elliott Choi]

Is it like the cartel or not really. No. No.

[Korean Comedian]

We let the people live. Like.

[Elliott Choi]

Wait, who let. No, like.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, we'll explore it. Go ahead.

[Korean Comedian]

The Mexican cartel is not that it's bad, but not as bad as Hitler.

[Elliott Choi]

No, of course not.

[Tim Dillon]

Of course not. We're not.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

We're not saying they don't have decisions like Hitler.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Korean Comedian]

He had a choice.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. They do sever people's heads though.

[Korean Comedian]

Oh yeah. The behead people.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why?

[Elliott Choi]

Why that?

[Tim Dillon]

Why that?

[Korean Comedian]

To send a message.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Korean Comedian]

Don't give me head. Get it?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. Where is the wife? I thought where is that? No, I'm kidding. I love. I. I watch cartel stuff all the time. I think it's great.

[Korean Comedian]

It's crazy. I.

[Elliott Choi]

It's crazy. I think many of them have gotten a bad rap to be honest.

[Tim Dillon]

Doing that website, Gore.com.

[Elliott Choi]

I'Ve never done that. What is that?

[Tim Dillon]

Right when the Internet started there was thing called.

[Elliott Choi]

You remember like Live leak.

[Tim Dillon]

It was worse.

[Elliott Choi]

Wow.

[Tim Dillon]

They would show like motorcycle accidents in Thailand. Right. You know, some guy just severed from the head and his hand is up, up. And I.

[Elliott Choi]

Do you think white load is kind of blue because it was in Thailand? Let's be honest. Right.

[Tim Dillon]

I didn't only saw the first episode so I haven't seen that.

[Korean Comedian]

Too many fruit flies, right?

[Elliott Choi]

There's like bugs in here.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Why is there so many bugs here today?

[Martin Starr]

Is there food?

[Tim Dillon]

I know there's no food.

[Korean Comedian]

Is that real papaya?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, it's weird. I'm so sorry guys.

[Elliott Choi]

It's okay.

[Tim Dillon]

We just move on cuz the camera can't catch it.

[Elliott Choi]

We can.

[Tim Dillon]

So you could have just let it go, you know what I mean? Yeah, I understand, I understand that. But it's.

[Elliott Choi]

I didn't know it was happening.

[Tim Dillon]

No, I just going to say that he has like a little twitch or something, you know? Yeah, yeah. Anyway, ignore this little. Go ahead.

[Korean Comedian]

No, no, I'm talking.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, sorry.

[Korean Comedian]

I'm not talking to them.

[Tim Dillon]

That. Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

You've been in Thailand.

[Elliott Choi]

No, no. Is there a good cartel thing I should watch? Like is there a killer cartel doc or a killer cartel movie?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, Doc.

[Korean Comedian]

Cartel land.

[Elliott Choi]

That's a big one.

[Tim Dillon]

Do you know any. You know, but Ms. 13 people?

[Korean Comedian]

No.

[Tim Dillon]

You know anybody to.

[Elliott Choi]

That's not. That's a different country. Yeah, it's a whole different country.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, so there's no Mexican Ms. 13.

[Elliott Choi]

There's Mexican mafia.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Elliott Choi]

And then there's different cartels.

It's fusion. Because a lot right now. It's about solidarity. It's not about differences.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, so you like fusion. I don't want commit to one thing.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, good, good, good, good, good, good.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Do you like Bestia?

[Elliott Choi]

Bestia is one of the best restaurants. The Michelin star restaurants. Phenomenal. Scallops are very good.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

There's an attitude there where sometimes you want to walk in and hit them with a bat.

[Tim Dillon]

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And you go, hi, guys. I don't know if you know this, but you're slinging pasta and you're. You're slinging in the middle of skid row.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And you're going to die in the street alone like a dog. Okay, so the agent's not calling back, the manager's not calling back. There are no additions. The thing you're doing now is what you'll always do.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Get the pizza and shut up. So. But I do. I do love Best yet. I'm kidding. But it's no Shenzhen Sun.

[Tim Dillon]

Really? Yeah, maybe. New rule. Don't say that again. It just hurts me when you say it.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

Because I feel like you're accentuating it.

[Elliott Choi]

It's no. It's no good. Fusion restaurant that I like.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay, good.

[Korean Comedian]

It's real. I seen him call it.

[Tim Dillon]

[Bobby Lee]

No, it's not Ching Chong Chong.

[Korean Comedian]

[Tim Dillon]

But not just fans. Yeah. High up people.

[Elliott Choi]

Some people do.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

How did Sucking Hitler off. When you suck Hitler off, people come up to you and it's an easy.

[Tim Dillon]

Conversation because when you had.

[Elliott Choi]

Let me ask you a question.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Your party is that you've invited me to. I mean, how do you know. What's Bruce Jenner's name?

[Elliott Choi]

Caitlyn Jenner.

[Tim Dillon]

Caitlyn Jenner.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, Caitlyn's, you know, a very fascinating person.

[Tim Dillon]

She is.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

And I. I love her. Yeah. That Netflix documentary about her. I think it's a. I like someone.

[Elliott Choi]

Like that who really just says, hey, this is what I'm about.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, I like, like. But how do you meet somebody like that?

[Elliott Choi]

You know, we had a mutual friend who said you guys would get along, and we got along, and she came to the Christmas party.

[Tim Dillon]

That's amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

She's a really cool, fun.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Free spirit.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. You know, there's a lot of people that were. I like your parties because it felt really comfortable.

[Elliott Choi]

There's cool people.

[Tim Dillon]

It's a nice mix of like, some industry. Yeah. But cool writers. You know, I mean, different kinds of people.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, yeah. It's cool people.

[Tim Dillon]

It's like.

[Elliott Choi]

It's like Caitlyn Jenner.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And you. And. And my agent. It's. It's a group, by the way. I mean, this is actually. You should actually be embarrassed. I mean, you should actually be embarrassed.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. I'm so embarrassed. You're right. You're absolutely right.

[Korean Comedian]

Fight.

[Tim Dillon]

So the. The. He got a text from the restaurant saying that confirms the rest. A real. Yeah, I think what it is, is I'm good. It is. But there's certain ways to say certain words. Let's just say that there's no way. Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

I didn't mean to say it the way I said it. And I have to sit with that and believe and I have to be with myself.

[Tim Dillon]

Because outside, when you saw Gilbert come up, be like, what kind is that? Or something.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, because I didn't know if he wanted me to do a traditional greeting. I was trying to be nice.

[Tim Dillon]

He's just an American guy. What a.

[Elliott Choi]

It doesn't it?

[Tim Dillon]

What kind is that?

[Elliott Choi]

Remember in White Lotus how when they all come off the thing and everyone stands and greets? I was doing. I was. I thought it was that.

[Tim Dillon]

It's not that.

[Elliott Choi]

I thought it was that.

[Tim Dillon]

It's not that. It's not that.

[Elliott Choi]

I thought it was that.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the opposite of that.

[Elliott Choi]

I thought it was that.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Martin Starr]

Trying so hard to find this restaurant who is me.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, here's why you're not gonna find it online is because exclusive spots and. And I'm not trying to offend anyone here. You know, it's not like Chili's dot com.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, right, right, right, right.

[Elliott Choi]

When a great chef has a pop up restaurant in la, they don't put it online so that they can field millions of calls. They soft launch it to very reputable people.

[Tim Dillon]

So whenever these things occur, these soft launches or I mean, little boutique things that pop up.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Could you invite me to this? Because I would love to, but you never do. I never. I just did you just. Because I. I fucking can put you in a corner.

[Elliott Choi]

I invited you because I thought it was going to be. And I still think it's gonna be a great evening.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, it's gonna be a wonderful evening. Yeah. With. Especially with those two boys.

[Elliott Choi]

It's gonna be fun.

[Tim Dillon]

And men, I mean. Sorry, my bad.

[Korean Comedian]

Men.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. And thanks for doing my show last night.

[Elliott Choi]

Of course.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. But do you have a watch?

[Korean Comedian]

Why was he.

[Elliott Choi]

You said 9:15. Yeah, that's what I thought the show was. I didn't know that was my spot. If you look at the text, I said what time tonight? And you said 9:15. I should have thought that was my spot. I thought that's when they sent you the lineup too, but I'm sorry. Well, thank God I was able to follow the rest of the people there on the lineup.

[Tim Dillon]

I show up to a show which is supposed to be a stand up show. I walked in the showroom, there's three white ladies with acoustic guitars.

[Elliott Choi]

I didn't love it either.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. And a man singing. They're singing some sort of Mama and Papa, you know what I mean? Hippie. Right? And it freaked me out.

[Bobby Lee]

What was.

[Elliott Choi]

No one in the audience is Irish. No one in LA is Irish.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And they're up there just going.

[Tim Dillon]

And the people in the audience are like, are like wide eyed, like, what is this?

[Elliott Choi]

And they're like, have you ever been to Ireland? I go to Ireland.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And me and him, I was in the back. This ain't for Us, we like a very similar type of audience and we don't really want exactly the Indigo Girls.

[Tim Dillon]

And my instinct was to, but it.

[Elliott Choi]

Ended up being a great show. And we love Greg.

[Tim Dillon]

We love Greg. And I apologize to Greg many times already. I'm a flake. And you are too.

[Elliott Choi]

But that's what makes us great.

[Tim Dillon]

It does.

[Elliott Choi]

You gotta.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay. I'm a flake. I'm a liar. You know what? For once in my life, let me own.

[Martin Starr]

Own it.

[Tim Dillon]

All right? I'm a. I'm a flake. I'm a liar.

[Elliott Choi]

I. I'm a. I'm a mother.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm a sinner. I'm a saint. I'm a. I will not be ashamed.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. I'm your hell.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm your dream.

[Tim Dillon]

Sometimes I masturbate with three fingers.

[Elliott Choi]

So what?

[Tim Dillon]

My bad. No, I get a bitter grip. That's right, my bad. Yeah, yeah. What else am I. I may. But there are some good things about me. I'm sober. I try to help people.

[Bobby Lee]

You're generous.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Korean Comedian]

You're a good guy.

[Elliott Choi]

Just a generosity.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Like last night, you know, we did my new joke night and I met this kid on this movie I did a couple weeks ago and you. Star of the movie. And we were talking on set, we're in Oklahoma City and we mentioned that. That he was curious about doing standup. So I go, go up on my new joke night and he showed up, went up first.

[Martin Starr]

Oh, man.

[Tim Dillon]

And he was not nervous at all. I was. I. I hate.

[Elliott Choi]

That's a sociopath. That's a full on actors. A lot of them are full on.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. He was up there like, hey, you know, just not shaking.

[Elliott Choi]

Hey, everybody. I'm a sociopath. What's going on? I watch my little, little sister drown and felt nothing. Anyway, I'm at one of the most famous clubs in the world with a huge comedian giving me an opportunity. And I'm not phased. I'm completely unfazed. Who could put somebody in a gas chamber? I could. Because I'm a Nazi socio.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. Were you nervous the first time? Yeah, yeah, Petrified.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm nervous.

[Tim Dillon]

Petrified.

[Elliott Choi]

When I get up on your show last night, I'm like, I hope this goes well.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Cuz I'm like, it's Bobby's show. I wanted to do well.

[Tim Dillon]

Wow. It was a huge Nothing you could have done wrong.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. Bombing would have been wrong. How did he do?

[Tim Dillon]

He didn't get huge laughs, but he wasn't phased by it, which was interesting.

[Elliott Choi]

But I had A guy, I had a guy who's a friend of mine who's an actor, he was at American Comedy called with me in San Diego and he goes, let me just get up for. He did five minutes, didn't get any lifts and he didn't care. He walked off stage and went. That was. That went well, that was kind of cool because I'm going to say it again.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

They are sociopaths.

[Korean Comedian]

Wow.

[Elliott Choi]

They do not. They're. They're not.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Because like, he. What he's doing as an actor, he's going, I'm a stand up comedian tonight.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

It doesn't matter if they laugh.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm this thing now and then tomorrow he goes, I'm a cop. I'm a detective.

[Martin Starr]

That makes sense.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm a detective.

[Tim Dillon]

That makes sense.

[Elliott Choi]

Because he's sitting in a thing and he overhears a conversation. He goes, I bet that actually the, you know, the killer was. And then he's a detective, right? And the next day he's a kill. Put on a cowboy hat and he's a folksy.

[Tim Dillon]

You know what?

[Elliott Choi]

He's. I know these Woody Guthrie, right? They LARP is like working class guys. Like, they'll build like a table.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

And they're like, I like building tables. And like, one of them said to me, he goes, I can't believe you live in, like the Beverly Hills area. I go, yeah. He goes, I like to be like, out of it. I don't like to be in it. I said, call your agent and quit.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

My cousin works at Wendy's in Pennsylvania.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

If you really want to be out.

[Tim Dillon]

Of it, go there.

[Elliott Choi]

Go there.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Chapel. Ron, I don't want to be famous. Go work at Wendy's.

[Tim Dillon]

Right?

[Elliott Choi]

That's what she used to.

[Tim Dillon]

I hate, I hate when they say that shit.

[Elliott Choi]

She goes, I hate being famous. I go, then go work at Wendy's. By the way, you get a lot of privacy at Wendy's.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, it's almost like.

[Elliott Choi]

It's almost like you're not alive. That's how much privacy you get at Wendy's. It's like you don't exist. So go to Wendy's and be private. Or are you going to not do that?

[Tim Dillon]

Win Grammy one time I was at the seller. I can't say who it was, but it was a pretty famous guy guy. And after my set, he grabs me, goes, hey, let's go hang out. So, you know, have a cigarette or whatever. And there was fan people out there waiting in line for the next show. Whatever, right? And he was like, like, I don't.

[Elliott Choi]

Want to see people. I don't want to see people.

[Tim Dillon]

You know? I mean.

[Elliott Choi]

And he's right.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. Like, no photographs. I'm uncomfortable about it.

[Elliott Choi]

It's fame. So weird.

[Tim Dillon]

And it's like, dude, that's why we do it.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, dude, it's so weird.

[Tim Dillon]

You gotta be right. That's why we do it. You idiot. You dreamt about it, jerked off.

[Elliott Choi]

So did I say to you, the actor, the actor kid, go, thank you so much for having me.

[Tim Dillon]

Oh, he was so grateful. He's like, can I do it again?

[Elliott Choi]

That's a side again.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to put him again.

[Elliott Choi]

Can I do it again?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was good. It's weird, but here, like. But not all actors like that, because I don't. Have you heard of this? But Meryl Streep gets super nervous. She'll vomit before the day before.

[Elliott Choi]

The greatest actress of all time. Yeah, maybe her and the kid in the belly room last night have slightly different constitutions. You know what I mean?

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. What do you mean?

[Elliott Choi]

She's maybe like really good at the thing and he's like a guy guy.

[Tim Dillon]

No, he's a really good actor.

[Elliott Choi]

Like Meryl Streep is.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, he's a kid.

[Elliott Choi]

Exactly.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

He's not Meryl Streep.

[Tim Dillon]

He played Nicole's kidman's son in this movie.

[Elliott Choi]

No one cares. Movies are done. Movies have been done. You know what I mean?

[Tim Dillon]

You and I have that conversation all the time.

[Elliott Choi]

[Elliott Choi]

No, but I don't know the difference between, like, if you said to me, a Korean man versus a Chinese man.

[Tim Dillon]

Or North Korean man, oh, there's no difference there. Well, Bobby, I don't know that east and West Germany.

[Elliott Choi]

It's actually a huge political difference there.

[Tim Dillon]

Is that true?

[Elliott Choi]

It's a massive political difference. I like, I find North Koreans are more amenable to me. The ones that are living in Korea now.

[Tim Dillon]

What do you mean?

[Elliott Choi]

The ones who are still in North Korea.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

[Elliott Choi]

That's a great. You know what? We got to start thinking love on the spectrum.

[Tim Dillon]

The new season. Do you see the new season?

[Elliott Choi]

They're happy.

[Tim Dillon]

Have you seen the new season?

[Bobby Lee]

Connor.

[Tim Dillon]

Connor.

[Bobby Lee]

Fantastic.

[Tim Dillon]

When he kisses that girl. I mean if you haven't seen it. I'm just gonna give you a spoiler. He has his first kiss with this girl. Right. And he almost faints.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

I don't know what's going on.

[Elliott Choi]

Right, right.

[Tim Dillon]

And then his last line was, I can't feel my legs. Yeah. Right. Alpha. One kiss. And I think that's the one thing that I'll never know is that.

[Elliott Choi]

Is that numbness in your leg?

[Tim Dillon]

No. I've had several strokes. I have diabetes, too. But no. What the. This is. I'm being real here. No, it's. I think I'm so jaded throughout the years of being a comic.

[Elliott Choi]

Sure.

[Tim Dillon]

That a kiss does nothing for me. I mean, like, you have to stick your two fingers in my butthole to get any kind of response. You know what I mean? And my point is that. I mean, that's a little extreme, but when I saw Connor kiss, the purity of that, the innocence of it, and I think that's what love is.

[Elliott Choi]

I think you're right.

[Tim Dillon]

And I think you and I fucked it up.

[Elliott Choi]

Up. Well, yeah, I think it's the drugs and everything. Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

When meth.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah, I think it's the drugs and the copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. Yeah, that would be my guess.

[Tim Dillon]

That's my guess.

[Elliott Choi]

That would be my guess.

[Tim Dillon]

No, because I remember in my early 20s having those feelings of like. Like, oh, wow, what is happening? You know? I mean.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

The longing. You know what I mean?

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

And then you get knee deep in it.

[Elliott Choi]

You can get it back.

[Tim Dillon]

I don't think you can.

[Elliott Choi]

No, you can't. I agree.

[Tim Dillon]

I don't know if a kiss, you mean.

[Elliott Choi]

Also, you're talking about a show about autistic people. That's love on the spectrum.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, I know. What if I didn't know what. That's how I am.

[Elliott Choi]

They're experiencing the world differently. It's not bad. It's just different.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, but I. But I do think that in my early 20s is. Well, yeah. I haven't finished my point.

[Elliott Choi]

I agree.

[Tim Dillon]

You want to get out of here? Is that what it is?

[Elliott Choi]

No, I agree.

[Tim Dillon]

We're almost done.

[Elliott Choi]

I know what you were going to say. What was early 20s, you. You felt that kind of magic that you.

[Tim Dillon]

That's what I felt. Right. So I think it is in. In me.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

So I think the way to do it when I was. Because last night I contemplated it and I rewound that scene over and over again. It made. It made me cry. The purity of it.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, that's beautiful.

[Tim Dillon]

I don't I. I don't believe you.

[Elliott Choi]

Well.

[Tim Dillon]

But anyway.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm being real with you.

[Elliott Choi]

I'm being real, too.

[Tim Dillon]

Right.

[Elliott Choi]

So when they. I also cry.

[Tim Dillon]

And I was like. And I thought about it in bed, I was like. I think the only way I can do it is if you stay absent for a couple years. Yeah, right. Cut out all the porn, strip clubs, all that stuff. You know what I mean? And then just, like, work on myself, focus on what I need to focus on, and maybe magically I'll meet somebody that's going to take me off my feet. That's what I want. Don't you want that, Tim?

[Elliott Choi]

Sure.

[Tim Dillon]

You want to be in love?

[Elliott Choi]

It'd be nice.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And to raise a family. Or not. Whatever.

[Elliott Choi]

You want to raise a family.

[Bobby Lee]

He looked at you a certain way.

[Elliott Choi]

No, I'm just. You want to raise one baby. Okay. Do you really want to raise your family?

[Tim Dillon]

You don't want one baby?

[Elliott Choi]

I might. I don't know.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, you do.

[Elliott Choi]

I don't know.

[Tim Dillon]

You'd be a great father.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, of course I would, but that's. I think that's more consideration.

[Tim Dillon]

Same pain. Imagine that kid. But he'd be so creative. Yeah, you'd know.

[Elliott Choi]

Now, your kid will be great, though. It would be good. I think your kid would be absolutely good.

[Tim Dillon]

Depends on who my wife is. What? Depends on who my wife is.

[Elliott Choi]

Not so much, but maybe genetics. Genetics. Listen, do we have the lifestyles where we can raise children? Think about it. Let's be very honest. Are we selfless enough to raise children? That's a hard question.

[Tim Dillon]

Here's the thing. When. Esther.

[Elliott Choi]

You'd be a great father. So would I, probably. But, like, it's. It's. We have to really. We'd have to tone down. We're very into us.

[Tim Dillon]

But don't you want to change?

[Elliott Choi]

I. I'm not saying it's not. I'm not saying it's not possible or it wouldn't be preferable. But you have to think about, can you give that child so much of your time?

[Tim Dillon]

I think I can. And I think that, like, what, I spent eight hours a day playing Stardew Valley.

[Elliott Choi]

Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

You know, this. Great.

[Elliott Choi]

And you could do it with the kid.

[Tim Dillon]

Or I can spend four hours. You know. I mean.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Being with the kid.

[Elliott Choi]

That's Right.

[Tim Dillon]

Right. And what I'm saying is, is that, like, the only. What you sprung up for me was Esther having a baby. You didn't see her for a while.

[Elliott Choi]

Right. Right.

[Tim Dillon]

It's like, I Want to still be in the game, but maybe a guy can do it. I don't know.

[Elliott Choi]

Home.

[Tim Dillon]

You know what I mean?

[Elliott Choi]

I don't know either. These are hard questions, are they not? Yes, we're gonna talk about.

[Tim Dillon]

I know, but it's like. I just don't talk about things like that with you.

[Elliott Choi]

I.

[Tim Dillon]

That's why it's weird.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, that's why we're gonna go to dinner.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah, but what are we gonna talk about this? Yeah. Blowing Hitler?

[Elliott Choi]

No, we're gonna talk about. We're gonna talk about being fathers.

[Tim Dillon]

We can pretend those guys are our sons.

[Elliott Choi]

That's what we're gonna say.

[Tim Dillon]

I. I want. Which one do you want? Want. I would be more realistic with the big, big Joey to be.

[Elliott Choi]

I don't want the one without the lip. Yes, I get that one.

[Tim Dillon]

Both lips are gone.

[Elliott Choi]

I know.

[Tim Dillon]

How did that happen? I. God wasn't creative that day.

[Elliott Choi]

Right.

[Tim Dillon]

It's sometimes tired.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah.

[Tim Dillon]

Well, sometimes when you see a factory. Right. And some guy misses something, like a bolt.

[Bobby Lee]

Human error.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Yeah, a human error. And he's just born, and then. God.

[Elliott Choi]

Great. By the way, they'll love the restaurant. They'll be excited about it. And I think we. We will talk about. About having children.

[Tim Dillon]

All right. So when does the Special come out?

[Elliott Choi]

[Tim Dillon]

[Guest or Producer]

Directors.

[Elliott Choi]

It's fake. The comedy special.

[Tim Dillon]

It is.

[Elliott Choi]

It's kind of fake.

[Tim Dillon]

It seems easy.

[Elliott Choi]

It's point the camera at the stage. I mean, unless we're doing something or.

[Martin Starr]

Maybe have Tim direct yours.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

Well, do you want to do it at Chens and Son?

[Tim Dillon]

No, I already. I do my. And, you know, we could talk about this. They have a.

[Elliott Choi]

A back room.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah. Anyway, watch tips.

[Elliott Choi]

Watch my special.

[Tim Dillon]

It's special. And then anything you want to plug that restaurant. That restaurant and.

[Elliott Choi]

And that restaurant. And I have a podcast and called the Joan Experience. And just that restaurant. Go to that restaurant. Go to it.

[Tim Dillon]

We're gonna go together. Wednesday, we're gonna if it doesn't happen, we'll have to revisit it.

[Elliott Choi]

It's actually great. Okay.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay.

[Elliott Choi]

I love it.

[Tim Dillon]

And it. Give Tim a round of applause, everybody. That was so easy.

[Elliott Choi]

How great is my realtor for doing that? Still a fake restaurant, obviously.

[Bobby Lee]

The way he jumped on so fast.

[Elliott Choi]

How brilliant. My realtor text me back everything. That was so serious. Of course I am. It's fake.

[Bobby Lee]

Dude, the text back was amazing.

[Elliott Choi]

It's all right. It's all right.

[Tim Dillon]

Put it back on.

[Elliott Choi]

How did you get fooled? Oh, how are you?

[Bobby Lee]

How are you back?

[Tim Dillon]

So we ended the podcast and I.

[Elliott Choi]

Admitted the restaurant's fake. It was my real estate agent Text knew that text.

[Tim Dillon]

We're not.

[Elliott Choi]

I gotta tell him. That was brilliant.

[Tim Dillon]

We're not going to dinner Wednesday.

[Elliott Choi]

Bobby sat. No, we can, but not at that fake restaurant. I.

[Bobby Lee]

You didn't know it was fake.

[Tim Dillon]

I swear. I swear to God. I'm my mother's life.

[Bobby Lee]

He said it was a Chinese man and they had the most American accent.

[Elliott Choi]

Yeah. It was a guy who, like, I was like. And he was like, hello. But it was. But you know what?

[Tim Dillon]

What?

[Elliott Choi]

It was a. It was a great moment for all of us.

[Tim Dillon]

It was a good bit.

[Elliott Choi]

The show worked. Everything went. It hit. People love it. People.

[Guest or Producer]

It's a.

[Tim Dillon]

Don't. Don't feel.

[Guest or Producer]

I googled like five different names to try to find it, and I couldn't.

[Elliott Choi]

So I was really.

[Tim Dillon]

But the believability is. Is that sometimes, like some of these restaurants, you don't know. You don't know.

[Elliott Choi]

That's what a good lie is.

[Martin Starr]

Damn.

[Tim Dillon]

And then you had a guy text you. That whole thing, the brown it with.

[Elliott Choi]

With actual Asian character letters.

[Martin Starr]

That's.

[Elliott Choi]

And I didn't even tell him to. I didn't even tell him to.

[Tim Dillon]

That's absolutely incredible.

[Elliott Choi]

It was a great bit.

[Tim Dillon]

Yeah.

[Elliott Choi]

I prepared this.

[Tim Dillon]

It was a bit. It was a bit. It was a bit.

[Elliott Choi]

We worked up this for six months.

[Tim Dillon]

I'm gonna get revenge.

[Elliott Choi]

It's fair.

[Tim Dillon]

Okay?

[Tim Dillon]

I look like a fool.

I don't think you look like a fool.

[Tim Dillon]

I do. And I'm gonna get revenge. You know how I get revenge? You guys know, right? It's deep. It's deep. Yeah.
