A corporate job at an outlet mall beats bleeding out in the Gaza Strip. Full episode: • Degree Of Difficulty |... Tour dates: www.timdillonc... Bonus episodes every week: / thetimdillonshow
When I first started watching Mr. Dillon, I was 3 credits away from graduating from Johns Hopkins. Now, I own a discount mattress store with my obese brother in law. Thank you Tim!
10 years ago as a 17 year old hearing the statement "the best you can do is work at a Lowe's, be divorced, and have a kid that doesnt hate you" I would've thought that was really bleak and sad. Now hearing that as a 27 year old it sounds better than at least 10 other realistic scenarios that could manifest into reality for me at this very moment, and that's the real tragedy of it all...
I literally quit riding my motorcycle because i wasnt going to be killed by a teenage girl making a tik tok. Tim might have convinced me to just embrace it
Someone I went to school was killed by a negligent driver pulling out in front of him 2 weeks ago. An old lady almost killed me once, my front tire locked up and by the grace of God I was able to swerve just in time.
@@Zanthorr I've been clipped twice on mine fortunately both low speed. I got hit twice in my tesla in 3 weeks. I have a video of a guy driving through a stop sign into my lane, hitting me while staring at his phone, dropping his phone, backing up, and then running. Glad you were able to stay up. Zero safety in the streets.
Bro, I work in EMS and every time I start looking at buying a motorcycle we get called to a wreck where the motorcyclist is almost always screwed up horribly. It's an omen lol
Tim is an absolute genius at describing the average American condition. The most common job is retail. 6 in 10 marriages don't work. This scenario is so perfectly described I can envision it in detail.
Divorce rates have actually started decreasing. It’s 37% now. Probably has more to do with the economy more than anything else; it’s too expensive to get divorced.
@@badkarma11b it might be more related to fewer total marriages. The social pressure to get married is lower now than any time in American history. So if you get married these days, it's much more likely to be because you actually want to be married (when compared to previous years).
It's unfortunate. As a schizoid, I really can't work in retail. Being a warehouse worker might be OK (as long as I could rest between loading and unloading), but again, I've never found a job I could do (they always have some sort of requirement that I don't fulfill: energetic, good communication skills, working with customers, having a driver's license, being able to lift 50 lbs and stand on my feet all day, etc.). I majored in Computer Science in college, but they were very open that I wouldn't be able to get a job afterwards.
I worked in the Home Depot garden center in college to pay my tuition and those folks I worked with don’t deserve chicken nachos. An order of onion rings and a Diet Coke are all they get.
@@GuntherSDoumson2178 True. But it had to be easier to believe in back when a couple could own a house and raise a family on what would today be considered minimum wage. Nowadays you need a six-figure income to afford an apartment and a car payment.
@@GuntherSDoumson2178 There was also a dream, that if there was a way to get easy sex from a girl, that would answer all our prayers. Then in 1960 "the Pill" was invented and gave us the free lovin 60's.Then came skyrocketing divorce rates, single parent broken homes, wage competition as more women now had more control over their reproductive organs and felt they could have it all and entered the workforce. In the 2000s young men wished if there was just a way to meet girls without having to leave our basements, that would answer our prayers, then the "dating app", Tinder, was invented and instead gave the option to young women to be even choosier in their selection of potential makes creating an infinite pool of desperate young men competing for their attention, thus decimating the chances of many young men to ever get laid.... Watch for what you wish for gents, because there are always consequences, many of which aren't felt for years.....
@@GuntherSDoumson2178 oddly enough the post WW2 years was when America was setting itself up to fail with the wide open urban sprawl that's now crumbling. “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
I remember having gargantuan aspirations as a film maker of 20+ years but then I got a job in liquor sales and I'm superbly content. I make enough money to live, have shelter, and go out on the weekends to over drink with people I like surrounding myself with. In 30 years I'll retire and then I'll get a few years to spend all of my money and visit some beaches and then I'll die. That's a good life. Worrying about life is not a good life.
A simple life spending time with friends / loved ones is literally the definition of a good life by epicureans from ancient Greece 2000 years ago. So, you are right sir, keep it real.
Tim Dillon's rants border on poetic tragedy. They are bite sized pills of crystallised modern anxiety and nostalgic dreams about to expire. Thank you for the laughs Mr Dillon. :):)
"crystallised modern anxiety and nostalgic dreams about to expire." Wow, very well put. I agree with this sentiment. The dream is almost dead, but it still slugs along toward that ever-setting sun, just over the next rise, hemorrhaging its life-force, with every drag of its body sagging a little closer to the pavement. I know how it goes.
Perspective. Tim , I was having a moment, this brought back focus. Even though I've spent 30 plus years in an industry that's failing, I am not bleeding out in another country. Thanks for being you.
The industry of hospitality. The kind that is both a memorable and exceptional one. The most generic bland offerings flourish. The exceptional shrinks and shrinks. I won't forget my 30 plus years of learning a craft and lovingly sharing with people. No big , shit happens.
There is somebody out there that lives with all of these exact circumstances mentioned. And he’s wondering how psychic Tim is and how long he’s been watching his life.
Me when when I'm driving my golf cart in my really underwhelming master-planned, HOA-ran community when the neighbor's 17 yr old daughter takes one too many adderall's before peeling out of the drive way and it's NIGHT-NIGHT for me.
Don't worry, Adderall doesn't make you hyper and inattentive. It makes you extra vigilant and focused. A driver on Adderall is a way better driver than a drunk or a high driver.
@@johndong7524 Oh, she's focused alright. Unfortunately for her victim, it's on the phone you'd have to surgically remove from her hand and not the road
I work 60 hours a week in construction making 19hr and i can barely stay afloat. Live balanced, budget well, no frivolous spending, healthy, no kids and i still barely make it.
@@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 here in America the average citizen has zero options, the American dream is dead for anyone who is not a boomer, or a youtuber.
I'm 47 years old never married and no kid's.. I'm going to put an application at Lowe's as soon as I drop the period on this thought. Tim I love 💝 u I'm a fairly new listener and officially a Tim Dillon Junkie.. Cheers from Las Vegas.
Tim Dillon rants should be documented ..translated to every language known to mankind..and kept in a time capsule for the distant future… no history book could be as accurate as this..💯
I wish Tim and some other comedy guys would start making funny movies like we used to have. Tim could write the entire cast and their backstories just by compiling these rants.
I left the US 25 years ago, and to see what life has become for most American men, just confirms my premonitions and where my life was heading fast as well until I took the jump. So thankful and glad I did!
@@anon2427 Europe is not all that cracked up to be. They have plenty of issues as well. Many American expats are enjoying the life overseas only because of their American dollars and their American education. Without that their lives would be much less enjoyable. Believe me.
After working at Lowe’s I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Customers are always shitty and they were never adequately staffed. Yes, we always had to hear about how inadequately staffed we were from the a hole customers. For years they complained about not having a self checkout. We finally put four in and now they’re pissed about having to ring themselves up. You honestly could not win in any situation.
My dad works at home depot and is divorced...... ... .. and has a child that kinda hates them but pitys them. Literally this whole rant was talking about my dad it was killing me lol
This is the good boomer ending, or working in a warehouse for 20 years and getting injured and having worker comp, the LTD policy you spent $16 per pay period on, and SSDI all hit at once and you can finally retire early physically broken.
You didn’t come my city hoo cancelled same day and I was excited then cried then played with foam aeroplane to change my attention but then I was sad again.
We don't need love, because that has been perverted, we don't need a gun because that is obsolete now, what we need is Empathy and Compassion society has become depraved and psychotic.
