#188 - Best of Patreon Vol. 1 | The Tim Dillon Show

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show, live from Los Angeles,
California.
Hey guys, it's Ben Avery, the producer. We have a special treat for you tonight.
It's the Best of Patreon Volume 1. So I went through six of my favorite
episodes
and found excerpts from them. And what we're going to play for you is just sort
of the tip
of the iceberg when it comes to everything we have behind that paywall on the
Patreon.
If you want to go find those episodes that I pulled stuff from, I will have
links in the
description. It's only $5 a month, patreon.com slash the Tim Dillon Show. It's
a way to get
a bonus RSS feed that me and Tim put stuff out on. We have a lot of great,
great, great episodes on
there. Not even to mention, we have 145 archives of old episodes of the show
with interviews with
CIA agents, Russ Baker, Nick Bryant. There's tons of stuff with Tim and Ray
that's absolutely
hysterical, along with a lot of other comedians. On the Patreon bonus episodes
now, we're around
29 bonus episodes so far that feature Giannis Pappas, Chris Testofano, Jessa
Reed, and a lot of other
comedians. Mostly it's just Tim doing solo or Tim and Ray. So go check out the
Patreon, patreon.com slash
the Tim Dillon Show. So I'm now going to play you six things I pulled from
random Patreon episodes that
I really liked. This next segment is from bonus episode six, Put It on the Ham,
where Tim tells a
really funny story about growing up. And to lead into that story, it's going to
start with Tim
talking about the passing of the late, great Carl Ruiz. It doesn't, you know,
we all have those moments
where you look around and you go, I got to get out of here. Whatever here is,
you know, you might be in a
party, you might be in a bar, you might be in a relationship, you might be at a
job. You just look
around, you look, I got to get the fuck out of here. And I got to try to figure
out how I got here.
How did I get here? Right. And where and how do I get somewhere else? And Carl
was a fucking character,
man. He was very funny. He was funnier than most comedians, you know, he was
passionate about food,
loved, would review like, you know, the Popeye's chicken sandwich. He'd review
like fast food. He'd
review everything. He loved working class people. Genuinely, genuinely. He didn't
pretend to. Yeah.
He loved the food that they ate. He loved the places they hung out. He loved
the bars that they
went to. He spent a lot of time in those places. He would go in and get, you
know, a chipped beef
sandwich upstate. He'd go fucking all over the place. And he genuinely loved
those types of people.
There's a lot of people in my business that pretend to like those people on the
left and the right.
Yeah. Whether you're lean to left or lean to the right. In entertainment, there's
a lot of people
pretend to like working class people, which I never have, by the way. Thank you.
Isn't that nice?
I've never really pretended. Yeah. I've claimed to only be interested in the
super rich. And I've been
pretty consistent about that. Yeah. Um, you know, you got integrity. I mean, I've
been pretty,
you know, it's like, you're going to see me outside of a factory being like,
don't close it.
Like what? No, I listen. I like working with, I love characters and I want, I
want everyone to have
health insurance and stuff like that. But I mean, the people that, that, that
interest me are rich
people. I've been very honest about that. And I, cause I think they're doing a
lot of fucked up wild
shit. So those are the people that I, not to say that like, you know, I'm
working class. All my
friends are working class. Everyone I grew up with, I know is working class. So
it's not like,
those are the funner people. Those are the people who want to perform comedy
for,
you know, but Carl literally loved those people, man. Carl really cared about
people. He cared about
the guys that were line cooks. He cared about the guys that he stood next to in
the kitchen. He gave
a shit about all of those people. And it's just so funny because he didn't
advertise it in the way
that people do in this business when they're like, I love the working class.
Like he never said that.
He just loved the working class.
Taking selfies with janitors. Yeah. He just cared about people. And he, and he
cared and he went to the
places they hung out and he loved, you know, the food and he, he understood it.
And he was like,
fucking, he understood people's relationship with food and that some of it was
destructive.
Some of it was, uh, you know, he, he got, I think to be fully good. I mean, I,
I, I, I, since I was a kid,
I've loved restaurants, uh, food and the whole culture of it. And a lot of it
mirrors the culture
of, of drugs or excess or, you know, anything. And there's rituals, there's,
you know, all that stuff
involved in, in, in, in eating and in taking drugs and using drugs and drinking
and sex or whatever it
is. And Carl kind of understood maybe better than so many other people, the
role that food played,
especially in the lives of people who didn't have a lot. And this was a fun
thing for them to do.
The food and drink was actually a fun thing to do. It was kind of this escape.
It was a release.
It was, uh, a place where even if they didn't have a lot of money, they could
save some money to go to
a nice restaurant and it's an indulgence and they enjoyed it. They could afford
that. They could
never afford a Maserati. They could never afford a house in the hills of LA.
They could never afford
a mansion, you know, wherever and wherever, but they were able to go out and
eat something good.
And I, I was always a guy who the only things I ever did with money was go out
and eat. So
Carl got that. He, I think he understood that food was important to people,
especially working
class people, people that didn't have, um, enough, you know, and he, you know,
he had this whole thing,
Ruizing, it was hashtag Ruizing, which is R-U-I-Z. I mean, I think a few days
before he died or a week
before he died, he was like on the Long Island railroad, heading out to Long
Island. And he
tweeted, will somebody meet me with a pack of cigarettes and, and, and some
white claw something
at the train station. And immediately it happened, you know, like a guy was
waiting for him as soon
as he got off the train, but that's what Carl would do. There were no strangers
in, you know,
and I'll talk about this a little bit on the, on the regular episode, not, not
as long, but like
that guy didn't, they weren't, they were, they were friends. Like it sounds
cliche and stupid.
Like, oh, there are people that are, that guy, there was no strangers. They
were just friends
he hadn't met yet, but that guy made friends with people, you know, he just
wanted to hang
out. He wanted to drink. He wanted to eat and he wanted to laugh. That's all he
wanted to do.
He didn't want to hurt anybody. He didn't want to be powerful. He didn't want
to, he didn't
want to abuse people. He didn't want to Lord power over everybody. He genuinely
was passionate
about cooking, about laughing. Um, and you know, that's a, a fucking great
example of somebody
who lives, who really lives who they are. Like, you know, but it sucks because
I would have
rathered him be around for a lot longer, you know, which is why I think you do
have to moderate
that dude. You can't go as hard all the time as you want to go. There's, you
know, and I'm not,
you know, he's a very successful guy. He's a very talented guy, you know, and
he could have,
you know, it's very sad that he wasn't around for as long as he could have been,
you know,
and I don't know the circumstances of his death, but I just do know that, you
know,
he was Ruizing, you know, he went out, he drank, he ate, he laughed, he had fun
with people,
you know? Um, yeah. And that's a shitty thing. Um, you know, but I mean, that's
all I can do is
basically say to myself, like, I want to be around for a while, you know, and
whatever that means,
but I still want to have fun and I still want to be the type of guy that he was.
I think you have
to work harder at being fun. Like if you, if, if you say to yourself, I'm going
to get rid of the
booze, I'm going to get rid of the, I'm not going to be the guy that just eats
ridiculous shit.
Uh, but I'm, I still want to be fun. Like I still want people to like me. I
still want to be funny.
And I still want to like be the life of the party to an extent, like that might
be a little harder,
but I think it's, you got to do it. Like I still want to have a personality,
you know, but I don't
want it to kill me. And so many dudes out there just kills them. We know guys
and not mentioning
their names. We know guys, you look at them, you go, you're being killed. Yeah.
You know,
like who you are is killing it, you know? And, and I, you just fall into that
trap dude of like
not seeing a way out and not going, well, I've only been this. How am I going
to be something else?
You know? Yeah. I mean, it's like, uh, it's tricky, you know? I mean, that
being said,
put Greta Thunberg in jail, put her in jail, throw away the key.
What did Trump say about her? He goes, happy girl, happy girl, excited for a
bright future.
Yep. I mean, this is who you're putting in the K like, this is who you're
putting in the
Roman Coliseum with Trump, the 16 year old Swedish girl. This is how deeply immoral
our
society is. The master troll, psychopath, Donald Trump, who has absolutely no
feelings, who would
feed his own kids to a fucking tiger if he needed to. Yep. And we're putting in
the Roman
Coliseum with him, we're putting a 16 year old Swedish girl, autistic Swedish
girl. And
that's, that's what we're going to do. Seems like not the move, you know, seems
a little
ridiculous, but I'm bummed that I was going to fly back. I don't know if they're
doing a
memorial form or something, but I was going to, you know, I think it got to be
in LA. Unfortunately,
this thing about, uh, but you know, I mean, this is what happens. Has any good
friend of yours
died? I mean, I mean, you call, it wasn't like a insanely good friend, but I
really did like
him. What about any good friend of yours ever die? No, not yet. No. What about
you, Ben?
Yeah. I wish that for you, both of you, you know, it'll be me probably, you
know,
the only, the only somewhat, the only somewhat successful person, either one of
you have ever
really met. Everybody else is just a complete loser. You can just go back to
sitting on the
porch, getting mad at people with 300 Twitter followers. It's ridiculous. But
it is a fucking,
it is a wake up call, man. It's a wake up call. It should be a wake up call
where you're
just like, but he really did understand that. And that's what food is, dude.
Food is a fucking
drug. I mean, you're sitting in a fast food place. You open up this hot, warm,
salty, fatty
sugar, sugar, you know, and you, you open it up and you just go, this is, this
is something
nice. I've worked a hellish job. It sucked. And I'm just going to have this one
thing that
tastes good. I just want to have this one fucking thing right now that tastes
good so I could
feel full. And then I can go to bed and I don't have to think about, you know,
I just want
a really such a small amount of time to like that. We, we give for like food.
It's just
a nice taste for three, four minutes. And you know what I mean? Like it's like
not that long
of a, of a thing to indulge in, but we just, it's, it's, uh, we love it for a
lot of people,
man. It's the only indulgence, you know, they're not on their boat. They're not
on the boat.
Like, Oh, this is nice. They get a few minutes a day at lunch. And when they
get out of work,
you know,
I almost never look at food as like fuel. I just want it. I just want something
fun,
you know? Yeah. Like, I mean, that's, that's, that's a lot of us, man.
Especially when I stopped
drinking, I started getting really into like dessert. I never cared about
dessert. I always
wanted to leave the restaurant and go to a bar. Ri
