Episode 148 - Streak of Evil (with Yannis Pappas)

Fill her up!
You're listening to the Gas Digital Network.
And now, Tim Dillon is going to hell!
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to Tim Dillon's Going to Hell.
It's all right.
You know what?
We're all doing what we have to do.
Good to be here again.
Tim Dillon, Giannis Pappas, one of our favorite guys ever to be on the show.
Returning favorite.
Using my proper pronoun.
Yeah.
Guy.
Him.
Him.
He.
He.
Guy.
Yeah.
Mine is that.
That.
My pronoun is that.
Yeah.
I do want to say to people, before we get into all the other things, if you are
a human
being with even a small life, the appropriate relationship to have to Game of
Thrones is basically
to not know what's going on.
Yeah.
I've watched it seven years.
I can barely explain what's happening.
I know like three of the main storylines.
Yeah.
Because I have things going on outside of that that I have to do.
Yeah.
If you know every subplot and every family and how they intersect and you know
more about
there are families than your own because you don't have one, that's a problem.
If you're the one at the party who's like, I know it's Rhaegar.
That's the, that's a problem.
Yeah.
I tweeted something today and people got angry.
It went viral.
Ben Shapiro retweeted it.
Wow.
Rogan retweeted it.
But I said essentially, I was like, listen, if you don't like the way this
season of Game
of Thrones is going, you can start a family.
Yeah.
I retweeted it.
Yeah.
And stop looking, stop looking for meaning in your life on cable TV.
Yeah.
And the hate, the hate, it would be, the response to the, the response to
telling people to stop
watching TV and start having kids is basically like I said, Heil Hitler.
Yeah.
That was the response I got.
Yeah, because yeah, that's a, that's part of the patriarchal scheme is to get
women to
do what all life wants to do.
Right.
Is reproduce.
Yeah.
That's part of a, that's part of an old system that is unjust and needs to be
updated and amended.
Yes.
Yeah.
We're not going to let fucking mother nature tell us when we're allowed to have
kids.
We're going to get, we're going to go all the way to 65 and we're going to work
at HuffPo
for 20 years before we do it.
No, we should.
Yeah.
And, and it's great to, and we'll retire with a pit bull, with a rescue.
A rescue pit bull.
Yeah.
And I, I work at a standing desk.
Yeah.
And I have a Twitter account that has all my pronouns in my bio.
Yes.
Yeah.
That seems like, and I argue about the political implications of Game of
Thrones.
Yeah.
Have you ever gone to a person's Twitter bio and seen their pronouns there?
Oh yeah.
You're like, yeah, that, that's a person that's, that's not going to be a fun
conversation.
Never.
If somebody puts their pronouns and there's three of them.
Yeah.
In their Twitter bio.
Yeah.
That's someone who's not going to be able to see your point of view.
No.
No.
There, well, you said today about Brooklyn was great.
You're like, these people don't seem fun.
No, it doesn't seem fun.
We got a real dearth of fun people.
Yeah.
I grew up around characters, Long Island characters.
Yeah.
And we're driving those people out.
And I think part of it is that because you have social media now, everything,
everybody,
it's so easy to like corral people into doing what you want them to do.
So easy.
Cause people just see that.
They're like, oh, I'll put, they put their pronouns up.
I want to do the right thing.
I want to be considerate.
I'll put my, you know, and, and then you just get, it flattens everybody.
It's like the great flattening where everybody's the same.
Yeah.
And you said that the other night we were driving home.
It's like, that's what, that's what the goal is going to be is like to get
everyone to be
the same and flawless.
Right.
Everyone is acting like they're flawless.
And if you show a flaw, they, they punish you for having a flaw.
Yeah.
You know, but, but a flaw is what makes you a person and makes you interesting.
Yeah.
Now they want to put you in jail for it.
Yeah.
And everyone's pretending like they don't have it because they got a short
haircut and they're
not 60.
Right.
You know, and they're wearing rain boots on a sunny day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're, you know, there, there's something too about, you know, this idea
that you, you
look at people now and you can almost tell, you can almost tell what
conversations are going
to make you want to kill yourself.
Yeah.
You can almost tell pretty quickly what conversation is going to make you want
to end your life.
Yeah.
Or their life.
And you can see it.
You can see in somebody's face.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
They have a certain expression.
I don't know.
I don't even know how to describe it, but it's very severe.
They're like severe and they're angry.
They're at war.
Yeah.
They're walking around Park Slope and they're at war.
We don't know with what, with systems of oppression unseen, but they're out
there just holding
people down every day.
Yeah.
And this is why, but the things I catch the most heat for on social media is
when I suggest
to people ever so delicately, I do it with a light touch.
Yeah.
A little comedy.
With a little comedy.
Light touch.
I go, maybe we shouldn't all be losers.
Yeah.
Because that's the real, people are like, is it, who, is it like Republicans?
Republicans that are out there or, or Democrats, or is it socialists or fascists?
Who's the biggest contingent of people out there?
Losers.
Yeah.
Like that's the biggest contingent.
And if you tell those people, like I said, a tweet that got me in very big
trouble.
I said, Halloween, here's a way to stop offending people with your costume.
Don't wear one.
Give, give the holiday back to children.
Remember when it was a child's holiday?
Yeah.
Give it back to them.
Buy property.
Yeah.
Start a family.
If you're a dude who needs to go into a Halloween party dressed as the Twin Towers
with your friend.
Yeah.
And you happen to be a kindergarten teacher and you get fired.
Yeah.
You know, give it, give it to, these, what my grandparents never dressed up.
My grandmother was never in an Elvira costume with her tits out.
Yeah.
It just wasn't the case.
Yeah.
Because she had children and she cared for them.
My parents didn't take me to any children's movies.
Right.
You know, I remember being seven years old and going to see Reds and Jagged
Edge.
My father took me to Dead Man Walking.
Yeah.
I mean, I remember going to see Jagged Edge, which was, Glenn Close was in that.
And it was about, I don't know, maybe, it was about a murder.
Someone breaking into a house and murdering somebody.
Yeah.
I couldn't sleep for three years after that.
Right.
They just dragged me into whatever R movie they wanted to see.
That was it.
I didn't see Star Wars until I was 56 years old on my own.
You weren't going to Ninja Turtles.
No, they didn't, no, they didn't do any of that.
Yeah.
Because they were busy working.
They were entrepreneurs that built their own business.
And they just, I met them like four times.
Yeah.
Before college.
That's, I, my parents were just not home.
It was just a blur in a suit.
I was raised by a Greek woman who did not speak English.
Right.
She was an illiterate woman.
Right.
She raised me because my parents were working 24 hours a day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But if you tell people now, if you say, if you even suggest to them that they
take on
any, or they evolve, they take on any responsibility that would be considered
like adult responsibility.
They always tell you how wrong you are.
And there's a lot of people that don't care about their families.
Yeah.
I know.
Don't be one of those either.
Yeah.
I'm not telling you to be that, you know?
Yeah.
They always fire back and they're like, you know, my, my father and mother
never should
have had kids.
It's like, you know, you're right.
Talking to you.
I agree that your mother and father never should have had kids.
Yeah.
I totally agree.
Good point.
Yeah.
But I'm just saying, I don't know what people, all these people, and I have
friends of mine
that are so against the idea of having kids, man.
What the fuck are you going to do?
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
You're going to hang out?
Yeah.
Until you're 60?
Yeah.
You're going to be a Twitch streamer?
Well.
At 60?
That's what LA is.
LA, you have 45-year-old men walking around in socks and sandals, high all day,
Twitch
streaming with a dog that they adopted.
And they have like arrested development.
And many of them are on the spectrum.
Some of them are on the spectrum.
Yeah.
And, you know, but if you don't want to be, you know, an autist walking around
in a bright
colored shirt, maybe it's time to get a fucking clue.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's an era where I have a friend who I went to college with
who's
like a guidance counselor in school, in King of Prussia, in Philadelphia.
And she says it's different.
She's a liberal, open-minded person.
She's like, when we went to school, you know, the parents would side with the
teacher.
If you were fucking up in school, they'd go, the teacher would say, they're
doing this.
And they'd go, why are you doing this?
Now, she says, the parents come in and the kid's doing something.
They're going, what are you doing wrong to my kid?
Why is my kid?
So it's like, there's just been this shift where it's like very central.
Everyone's trying to get younger.
Everyone's focusing on the youth and blaming the systems, the older, whatever,
the flaws
of other things and not the person.
It's like, maybe your kid's just broken.
I wonder why.
And I hear that from my friends that are teachers too.
And I don't usually listen to my friends that are teachers because we all know
that teachers
are, in many cases, full of shit.
And they are, I'm kidding around.
I do give teachers a lot of flack here because, you know, it's not the hardest
job in the world.
Right.
A lot of them are just the wives of very rich guys.
Yeah.
It's a lot of people that are, well, I call them summer enthusiasts.
That's what I call them, okay?
Because it's, you know, everybody's like, it's the worst job in the world.
You're out at 2.30 in the two best months of the year.
Your ass is parked on the beach.
The hours are conducive.
My husband makes $15 million, so the $30,000 doesn't really move anything.
It doesn't really matter.
And I sit on the beach for two months while all the kids that I spent time with
for a year
go and do home invasions all summer because I've taught them so well.
So, but a lot of my teacher friends say to me, the parents now are always on
the sides of
the kid.
I don't know when or why that happened.
I just, I don't know why that's the thing.
Maybe it's just this obsession, like you said, with the idea that kids are,
should be listened
to.
Well, I think it's this theme that like flaws makes you, nobody wants to admit
flaws.
Right.
It's like when I was growing up, and not to glorify, because there was a lot of
horrible
things about those eras behind us, but it's like, but there was more of a truth,
more
of an honesty about like my parents just openly telling me that my brother was
the smart one.
Right.
And when I got C pluses, it was a celebration.
Right.
Because I was just stupider than he was.
Right.
And they told me that.
Right.
So it was like, that's what it was.
Right.
But me, me knowing that was like, I got to be funny.
So I was, I was kicked out of schools and I was class clown.
I found something I was good at.
It's like people who achieve things, achieve things because they accept their
flaws and they
say, I'm going to make this flaw into something.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I got AD, now kids are energetic.
You're like, give him pills, stop him from being energetic.
It's like, no, put him on a stage or do something, figure out what he likes.
Yeah.
He's not broken.
He's just not as smart as Jimmy.
He's not going to be a lawyer.
Now everybody's got the measles because nobody wi
