I'm On Strike | The Tim Dillon Show #354

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show.
I want to explain the backdrop for a minute.
We are in our new studio in New York.
We have two studios so that we never have to miss a video episode of the
podcast.
And our New York City background is on its way.
But we wanted to get an episode out for you this week.
And we're hoping that the background is going to arrive.
But we're dealing with all kinds of characters.
People from the netherworld, dark people that, you know, they exist at the
bottoms of stairwells.
And they can only be contacted by certain means.
And, you know, they're doing it, though.
It's going to be great.
But, you know, we are using the people of the earth, as you call them, right?
The little kind of, you know, they burrow into things and under things.
And many of them are just there.
And we're using them to get the, you know, and it's coming.
So don't, but this is not the permanent background.
It's a black curtain.
And SAG is on strike.
And I support, and we're on YouTube right now.
And I'm gay, YouTube.
I'm a gay person.
I'm gay.
I'm a homosexual gay man on YouTube in a very heterosexual, patriarchal world
of people.
And what a horrible thing for me to have lived through that, being gay.
And I'm so happy I can be gay on YouTube, be a gay man on YouTube, homosexual
gay on YouTube.
And it held me back in life dealing with that.
And I stole a lot.
And that was, they were also not great.
But I was trying to buy drugs.
But it was hard.
So to have the bravery to be gay on YouTube, gay, to be gay on YouTube, and to
support the
Ukraine on question.
I don't even know.
I don't question it at all.
Every dollar I make, half of it should go to the Ukraine because I'm gay,
YouTube, on
being gay in the Ukraine, which is something I would love to.
I would love to be gay in the Ukraine if I could.
And the only way I can is if they win that fucker.
So that's all I wanted to say starting off the show.
I love the new Little Mermaid.
It's not black enough.
To be honest with you, it's not black enough, the new Little Mermaid.
It's actually not.
I want it to be even blacker.
And she has a lovely voice, that girl, that's singing.
It's beautiful.
But I think it could have even went, you know, to where it's almost
uncomfortable for everyone.
And that's what I wanted.
But that's all I have to say because I'm here now on YouTube.
And I support Fran Drescher, the person who's doing this writer's strike.
I do.
And to say, she's in the union that I'm in, the Screen Actors Guild.
Fran Drescher, who, if you remember, was in a show called The Nanny.
And she was the star of the show.
She was the nanny.
And she is now the president of the Screen Actors Guild.
And it's a great injustice what's happening right now.
And I'm a little disappointed that Americans don't care about the trouble that
actors and writers are having not making any money.
Americans are like, hey, they're of the attitude.
It's like, hey, fuck you.
And all you make is crap that we don't want to watch.
But that's not true.
There's a few things that you like that could go away if this doesn't get rectified.
There are.
Those big budget Marvel movies you all like, you slumber into the theater like
a herd of cattle and buy a bucket of soda with your kids and eat little hot dog
donuts.
They're going away.
Hey, that's going away.
It's not just succession.
Some of the things you like are good.
The movies where cats talk to each other, you like that, that's out too.
All the films where cats and dogs speak because Americans like, well, they like
that.
They like when cats and dogs speak to each other because they can in real life.
But in the movies, they can.
And people like it.
So some of those things in American land, they like movies.
What is that?
The Fast and Furious where they keep stealing all the cars.
They keep taking cars every year in some other desert.
And that can go away.
It's not just the faggotty things that your, you know, brother-in-law watches
on the BBC, which is not affected by it.
But there's some actual real explosions that may not happen because of this
strike.
So you should get mad at this.
And I, you know, I famously here see everyone's point with the strike.
I do.
Because I think people should get paid fairly.
But then I look at what's happening.
And I, look, look, look.
Let's take a look at Snow White.
Snow White is a movie that is coming out now.
It is a Disney film.
It should be a hit.
Snow White, who could have more name recognition than Snow White?
Everybody knows what Snow White is about.
It is about a woman or a girl who is tempted with a witch who gives her an
apple.
Is that correct?
That is correct.
After that, I don't.
But it's, there's a wolf, too.
But everyone knows about it.
It's big.
And it should just, these things, these remakes should just kill.
There should be no, it should be on, if you don't fuck this stuff up, it should
be easy.
Snow White, get a wolf, get a bitch.
Get a witch.
You're done.
Get a prince, probably.
Now, Snow White, you would think this would be the perfect time to employ
little people.
Not using the other M word.
I'm on YouTube, and I'm gay.
But I'm using the word little people.
Now, you would think these are, this is seven little actors can work.
Seven little actors can now work.
You would think, right?
Wrong.
Wrong.
Disney's live-action Snow White under fire for replacing seven dwarfs with,
quote,
magical creatures of all sizes and genders.
This, again, was the one opportunity for little people to have their moment in
the sun, other than that role on Game of Thrones that he killed, Peter Dinklage.
But now, seven people get to have a potential shot.
And what do they do?
Make that screen bigger.
Look at this freak show that they have.
First of all, these are not dwarfs.
There's only one dwarf.
The rest of them look unkempt.
They look homeless.
They look diseased.
This, you could have accomplished this by going to Seattle and grabbing seven
heroin addicts that were living under a fucking bridge.
This is scary.
This does not look like something kids would like.
You should have little, cherubic-like people.
That's what dwarfs are.
They're tiny, somewhat chubby, hardy, hardworking people.
This is like a fucking unemployment line of scum.
Every person here, I couldn't.
What are they wearing?
What are they dressed?
What is this?
Why are you destroying everything?
This is so easy to not fuck up.
You can have black little people.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Get all the little people of all the races.
But they need to be little.
Why are you, why are you, why is the guy in the middle with long hair being
hired?
What group is he in?
Let me see why they're doing it.
Because they're trying to modernize these movies.
They're destroying everything.
And this is one of the reasons it's hard to get people to care about this
strike.
Because they have turned on the business.
They don't enjoy the things that are being made anymore.
They don't care.
And if you don't get them to care, you lose that popular support.
Let's find out.
Okay.
Quote.
Literally, no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken back when they were
very proud
to make this bigger.
When they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White.
Which, by the way, that's fine.
No one cares.
Okay?
But you're still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
He said in January 2022.
I don't know who's saying that.
You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that fucking
backwards story about
seven dwarfs living in a cave together.
What the fuck are you doing, man?
Have I done nothing to advance the cause for my soapbox?
I guess I'm not loud enough.
In response, Disney said it was taking, quote, a different approach to avoid
reinforcing stereotypes.
Well, it's about...
Christ almighty.
So, find out who said that, because they ruined the whole fucking movie.
One guy said it.
Somebody had a problem with that they were making a movie with Seven Dwarfs.
By the way, what?
I don't even understand the negative stereotypes about dwarfs in the movie.
That they work hard?
First of all, if you remember, the dwarfs were not painted as one thing.
There was Sleepy, Happy.
There was a few of them.
Jewy.
There were a few different dwarfs.
And I forget what they did and who they were, but they each had a specific
personality
and a specific thing that they did.
Nobody was saying that, like, all the dwarfs are one thing.
Is it...
But all the...
They were just...
They worked hard, right?
That was what we knew them for, that they were workers?
Why is that such a bad idea?
Why is that a...
What stereotype is being reinforced that they live in a cave?
I'm so curious.
Dinklage.
Oh, this is Peter Dinklage.
You know, I gotta be honest.
I'm not happy about this.
And I don't want to go to war with him, but it's really like...
What?
If there was a...
If there was a...
If there was a Disney film called Snow White and the Fat Faggots...
If there was...
No, I'm saying if there was.
I'm not saying there is.
If there was.
And it was seven fat faggots that were, like myself, kind of loud and vicious.
Number one, better movie.
Number two, why would I comply?
I wouldn't complain about...
Like, what is he complaining about?
Does Peter Dinklage not like that there are dwarfs?
Does he not want them to...
I don't know.
I'm confused, man.
He doesn't like the portrayal of the disability in the...
What's the disability?
Well, as what, though?
This is what I'm trying to understand.
And maybe he could help me understand this because maybe I'm not understanding
why he's mad.
And maybe he's mad for a very legitimate reason.
All I'm understanding is that there are people that are little.
Maybe they don't like the word dwarf, but they are littler than other people,
right?
Mm-hmm.
And Snow White befriends them.
Right.
What's the problem?
I mean, I don't understand.
Can you articulate why he's upset?
If I were guessing, maybe he doesn't want his culture to be a Disney character.
Dwarf culture.
I just...
Here's the thing, man.
Then don't make it.
Or Disney, he's got to tell him, fuck you.
Someone's got to tell him, fuck you, Peter.
Hey, fuck you.
You know how many little...
He's taking...
Here's what Peter Dinklage is doing.
He's taking the food out of a little woke mouth.
Those little mouths that could be eating?
Peter Dinklage is stealing food out of their mouth.
There's seven...
Here's what Peter Dinklage is saying.
I'm the only one that can be famous.
Just me.
Sorry, everybody.
We're shutting that down.
You know how I was a dwarf in Game of Thrones?
That's cool.
Everyone else, we're closing the little bridge.
The little bridge is going up, and no one can cross over it now.
Because I'm already rich.
So now there's seven scumbags that are going to be in this movie when there
were seven actors that have probably been working their asses off.
This is the fucking...
Like, I would like to play the Cheshire cat.
That's like a Disney role for me that I'd love to play because it smokes, and
it's kind of nasty.
And you can tell it's like...
It's like just...
It's like...
It cares about what's going on, you know?
Like, it's kind of cognizant of what's happening.
Yeah, I like the Cheshire cat.
So this would be my role.
This would be my role.
This is what I would like to do.
If I was involved...
If Bob Iger called me today...
If he called me today, he'd probably try to get me to kill Fran Tresher.
But if he called me today, he'd be like...
They'd give Ray Kompagon.
They'd be like, Bob Iger hands Ray Kompagon.
He goes, do the right thing, Ray.
Listen.
What?
What?
Do it.
Do the right thing.
She's causing all kinds of problems, Ray.
But so the Cheshire cat is a role for me where I would go, God damn it.
I want to be in that.
We're getting ridiculous, man.
So now we have Snow White and the seven homeless people.
Look at that.
If I saw that crew, I would go nuts.
They're going to destroy the company.
Bob Iger is a good CEO.
He cannot let this happe
