Starting point is 00:00:00 folks if you want to see me live we are at Coachella tonight no one's coming to that because it's fucking storming and it's in the middle of nowhere and it's January but then we're Reno Nevada Saturday January 21st then we are in Oxnard California my favorite place Oxnard January 27 28 to 29 Raleigh North Carolina the 9th through the 11th Tucson Arizona on the 16th of February Phoenix Arizona the 17th through the 19th of February Monterey California the 23rd if it still exists Vancouver Canada on the 24th Napa California on the 25th one of my favorites Palm Beach Florida the 9th through the 11th of March Englewood New Jersey April 13th Huntington New York at the Paramount the 14th New Brunswick New Jersey the 15th and um Sunday April 16th
Starting point is 00:00:46 Huntington New York ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tim Dillon Show from Storm Ravage California we bring you a message right now from the leader of California our leader we bring you a message from her she is in distress so Montecito is under complete evacuation the entire town this is a five-year anniversary from the fire and mudslides that killed so many people and people off their homes now what we don't know here what you don't know is uh Ellen is doing this with her mind she's making these waters rage with her mind this is a trick she does this is something that's actually rather impressive
Starting point is 00:01:34 she's actually creating all these conditions herself and then standing outside she uploaded this video uh in Montecito many of the uh Montecito is an area two hours north of California I'm sorry uh Los Angeles uh in the Santa Barbara Montecito is a very elite uh part of Santa Barbara where a lot of wealthy people live like Oprah uh Ellen DeGeneres and Harry and Megan uh were living there for a period and this is the area that got hit the hardest now obviously Los Angeles had some flooding and there were some some small mudslides and boulders were on the street and they closed some roads and there are some issues in people's yards where they you know if you live on a hill sometimes uh I was talking to my landscaper she said one uh one of her clients
Starting point is 00:02:25 part of someone else's yard um uh fell just went right into that person's pool so if someone is above you and they don't have a retaining wall their earth slides down into your pool so my landscaper is figuring figuring that out Ellen DeGeneres though uh is upset about this as as you know as a resident a longtime resident of Montecito uh she's out there we'll watch the rest of this video uh this is some type of um behind her is a creek some type of river uh that is uh flooding what's what's happening in California now you think you know someone um you think you're used to what the problems could be and I've lived here on and off for four years and uh what I've noticed is that um you know the the population here is very very accustomed to fires so too accustomed to
Starting point is 00:03:25 it like you drive down a highway and it's on fire and no one cares like people are so comfortable with fires in this state because they happen all the time that literally three houses away will be on fire and people in their backyard go ah it's there that's down there we're not gonna go nuts people will see fire happening in their neighborhoods and not leave they won't evacuate because they will literally tell well for the fire to come up here would have to go around that people are so comfortable with flames and fire um and droughts we all have been accustomed to the drought who cares it doesn't affect anyone there's still water there's a lot of water you can shower you can drink bottles of water everyone has a bottle of water uh nobody is not hydrated because
Starting point is 00:04:16 of this drought we buy water from lake mead or from uh you know wherever we're stealing the water from wherever we're buying it from we have water we're not now people keep saying we have less and less water it's going to be more of a problem there are now governors on the uh how much you can use your sprinkler system so the lawns of Beverly Hills and Bel Air got help us are getting a little brown and a lot of people have switched out their grass for turf because it doesn't need to be watered and some people are getting rid of grass in general and doing a sand kind of rock garden cactus thing that looks fine so everybody's accustomed to droughts everybody's accustomed to fire people get it shit burns down that's okay nobody's really i mean there are instances where
Starting point is 00:05:04 people burn up in their houses because they're up until the last minute they're not convinced they should leave but the one thing that nobody has really dealt with here is flooding and and and you know excess of rain and i don't want to hear about droughts anymore if we can't use the rain now people go well we don't even the water that comes in we don't even know how to use it they go we don't know how to use it it's filthy it's we just kind of you know it's like well the here's the water for the drought figure it out you can't in two weeks they're going to start talking about a drought again but this has in in the positives of this is that the lakes and the rivers of California their levels are are higher i don't know what that means i don't know if it means we're out of
Starting point is 00:05:47 the drought i don't think it does so you get you get the worst of all worlds whereas you'll still in a drought but it's flooding but it's a drought and i've lived here and i'll tell you the weather is never what it's been it's never sold as you know it's not accurate weather it's not tropical weather it's not florida um it's cold it's desert it's hot during the day and cold at night um it's weirdly overcast in a lot of the beach communities there's this layer of gloom this oceanic layer and if it's not hot enough it the sun will not pierce it and it'll just be kind of bleak and gray and gloomy it's not what you think it is here but it's never been quite this bad this is a new level of bad for california where people are like you know getting like tragic shits going on like people
Starting point is 00:06:39 are a kid was like swept away on like i don't even know how that happens he's like like his parents something tragically happened where he ended up getting swept i mean this is like biblical shit and um nobody's prepared for this except ellen who created it let's watch the the end of her little plea now ellen brings up a good point that we need to be nicer to mother nature now get up ellen's real estate portfolio because it's very important to always think about your actions in relation to the balance of the world like the navi in avatar um so let me just read this uh first first uh sentence here in the article uh this is uh ellen degenerus and her
Starting point is 00:08:01 wife portia dorasi the title of this article in architectural digest is inside ellen degenerus and portia dorasi's endless real estate portfolio endless is the word in 2022 alone the couple purchased four properties and sold three and ellen has ellen's house in monocito get get that up because she's got a mid-century modern in monocito here's the thing with ellen she always makes really good real estate choices they're always pretty fucking dope and they're stunning and so she's got this house in monocito she paid 21 i believe it's 21 million dollars for it uh oh sorry ellen degenerus sells bolly inspired monocito property for 33 million i wonder how big it's a 9.3 acre compound now let's see how big that is in square footage if we can find
Starting point is 00:09:08 the square footage on that um we know it's 9.3 acres i wonder how big it is but i i don't know what ellen means i understand when she goes we should be nicer to mother nature but but you know she owns tens of thousands of square feet of real estate that needs to be heated and cooled all the time i mean this is you know this is not like she doesn't own like a bungalow she owns a lot of property and i own houses there's nothing wrong with owning houses not as big as hers but you know it's nice to say um she's got a 4 000 square foot property but this is not there's no way that that's the one that's sold for 33 million i would be shocked um what does she mean by that be nicer to mother nature i mean it's like a nice thing to say
Starting point is 00:10:18 but i don't know what she means by that maybe she knows mother like maybe she knows these gods and she has a personal beef with uh mother nature you know i mean i don't know it's it's um it's possibly something that you know is happening in a realm that we don't know so she's got you know about 11 000 square feet she's got um four bedrooms 10 bathrooms and about 11 000 square feet it's the sprawling property comprising 18 000 square foot main house and a 10 000 square foot guest house um and and so this is um so this is one of her properties that we're looking at between the guest house and the main house about 30 000 square feet of real estate that ellen has and god bless i mean but again it's like you'd you'd be you'd wonder what being nicer to mother
Starting point is 00:11:28 nature would mean if you had 30 000 square feet of real estate for one of your homes just one of your homes get up some more um examples of how bad this has gotten in california this has gotten really bad um kayakers are paddling uh in santa barbara and monica and would santa barbara's where really wealthy people go when they're kind of through with la and they're bigger than la and they don't need to be here they go up to santa barbara and they go up to monocito and it's not right that they have to deal with this to be to be honest with you it's actually not right because they've made it out they've gotten out of los angeles they're away from the homeless they're up in their hamlet they're in this small little beautiful kind of country idyllic coastal country town
Starting point is 00:12:21 with their 33 million dollar uh 30 000 square foot home and uh you know it's ugly they're closing highways people are dying the death toll of this storm i think the last time i checked was at 12 12 people had died in the california storm um and it's not a dignified death 17 are now dead it's not a dignified death dying in california in a fire makes sense dying in a flood is stupid it's like silly and it's like crazy to even admit people that that you know are affected by this don't even want to tell people how you died um massive los angeles sinkholes swallows two vehicles but they rescued the passengers the earth is opening up big holes are opening up in the middle of the street cars are falling in and how dumb do you really have to
Starting point is 00:13:18 be to fall into a sinkhole unless you it literally opens as you're on it but people in this state are so dumb they might just they're not paying attention and they literally just dry it's a big hole and they just and they go right in i don't know if that's what happened but um it is unfortunately uh you know led to death and fatality people are dropping like flies we've got 17 people dead um which is crazy and you know the hope is that um you know that this uh the rain stops because the rain doesn't stop la's all these places these are dirt hills they're not really mountains these are dirt hills that everybody lives on my house is on a dirt hill and if it gets too wet all the houses slide off the hills and they slide into the canyon um
Starting point is 00:14:08 and that's not what you'd want um but that's a little weather update here and you know we hope but play this Derek took his kayak down a flooded city street in santa barbara today but i mean every year it happens and every year we us as a community over at melpus try to make sure the drains stay clear so this doesn't happen to everyone on the street yeah sorry but i think i need to get back now all right well listen you'd be safe and take care of yourself but it's the end of the world all right well this is something you don't see every day i don't think i've ever spoken to someone who is of a latino descent down the street like this she goes which is strange because i've lived here for years but she goes this is odd but i
Starting point is 00:15:01 felt safe because he was on a kayak a road completely flooded look at that kayaking down the street it seems a little fun doesn't it seems like this is a little exciting too let's be honest just a little exciting it's a little exciting and a little fun seeing all the and this is what people this is going to be the double-edged sword of climate change because although it is going to kill people and destroy things it is going to kind of be a little fun it's not politics it's something to talk about it isn't politics what's going on are you okay the fucking weather is nuts everybody's kind of dealing with it together it kind of brings people together i don't even know if i'm against it because of the of the it it it it flattens people whether you're rich or poor
Starting point is 00:15:54 you have to deal with extreme weather and i think that's something that actually could be a very unifying thing in our society is as these incidences of extreme weather become more frequent people are actually going to become closer you know we've had a very divided couple of years it's been very divisive politically culturally but you know no one's talking about drag queen story hour now because everything's flooded and people are losing everything and i gotta be honest with you i think there's sort of something nice about it this might this next era which is going to be 30 to 50 years of biblical fires and floods maybe actually lovely like it may actually be so nice because nobody's going to be fighting about bullshit if we're all kind of and everyone's
Starting point is 00:16:50 going to kind of move around the country trying out smart the disasters all the real estate shows it's kind of going to be fun to see like people are going to go from the mountains they're going to get burned out of the mountains and they're going to go to the the the low lying areas and then they're going to get flooded out and then they're going to go to the plains and i mean it's going to be fun to kind of watch people migrate from disaster to disaster building different properties to withstand the coming revenge of the earth i mean i don't want a lot of people to die i'm not a big fan of mass death many of you who watch a show know that i've never been pro mass death i don't think everyone can live but i don't think that everyone should die
Starting point is 00:17:41 all at once i like a trickling a slow trickling but to me something like this it's nice to see ellen in front of the overflowing river it makes you feel like we're all one right i think it's a little nice to see a raging river she's a little nervous you go all the money she's got all the property she's got she's still subject to the same natural forces that we all are so you know if if if a celebrity were to kind of get it if a celeb yeah you see in her eyes she's a little bit like hey what's happening now you know she is gonna be fine she's gonna be safe she can be airlifted out but is it's nice to see people of means a little panicked all the movies that are coming out now whether it's triangle of sadness or the menu these are great movies that talk about class
Starting point is 00:18:52 everybody wants to hit wealthy people everybody wants Louis Vuitton everybody everybody wants the wealthy to die everyone wants a wealthy to die now this is a fact and seeing these if if if if if we start seeing a few mansions get damaged this could be very cathartic for people and i'm not saying this this should happen but everybody really wants some revenge because the recession is coming you can feel it you can feel it now it's going to people are starting to you know the layoffs are here and then following the layoffs will be some pain and in order to make that okay if we saw a couple of monocidal mansions really get it it might make us feel better so i'm just saying there is going to be an upside to climate change
Starting point is 00:19:57 i always try to look for the positive there is going to be an upside to uh the the chaotic destruction it will affect rich people and that's what you want it will damage the homes of wealthy now yes they have other fine yes they can go other place sure but just as a visceral image it is nice to see a couple of rich people's horses drown not that you have a prop but you know like the idea maybe not even drown but waist deep if you see a monocidal ranch and the horses are waist deep and you see people panicking harry and meg in order to evacuate monocidal mansion amid deadly california floods this is what we want this is what we want this is good seeing rich people have to flee their homes because of fires and flooding makes people that
Starting point is 00:20:59 don't have money a little happy and isn't that what everything's about at the end of the day is people just being a little happy so that's what i think i'm very bullish on weather i'm bullish on extreme weather i am as as a unifying thing in our society i am bullish on extreme weather and in fact i think we should have more of it and if we can't if it's not happening naturally manufacture it a la harp a la the conspiracy harp which i haven't looked into too much but it's the government controls the weather conspiracy if we can manufacture this every now and then let's do it because i think this will be good for all of us long term comm slash tim dylan that's athletic greens dot com slash tim dylan check it out um the amount of people on this diet drug now
Starting point is 00:21:54 ozempic has and we've talked about it on the patreon ozempic is the dot is the drug for type two diabetes and every and i didn't know i didn't understand how this drug worked by the way and i i started reading articles about it and i spoke to some people on it it's actually you have a chemical revulsion to food when you take ozempic like if you take ozempic which is a shot it's a syringe it's a shot and what happens is you actually become disgusted with the idea of food you're actually like repulsed by the idea of food you want to you start throwing up if you eat too much you start throwing up you start like heaving i have friends that say they it's hard like they can't even get food down it they it's like you know a drug that you would give to somebody
Starting point is 00:22:54 you know there are these drugs that for example make alcohol make your body not tolerate alcohol and it's a way to fight alcoholism where it just it's a drug that makes you basically go i am uh you know i'm no longer getting any of the benefits of alcohol and this is what ozempic does to people with food it's like um you know it makes you look at food uh the way that some people you know would look at a drug like heroin when you look at it and you go i would never do that get that away from me keep that away from me and my family i don't want to live in community now the problem is it is necessary for life food you have to eat and there's people that aren't really eating they're taking a bite or two and then they're going and vomiting in the bat this is what ozempic is you you take a
Starting point is 00:23:46 bite or two of food and then you're like okay enough for me and um obviously it's now there's a shortage of the medication that's in ozempic because everybody with type 2 diabetes is like what the fuck is rich people in hollywood not me yet rich people in hollywood are able to take this shit they're able to get it their Beverly Hills doctors will write prescriptions for this medication that was for people type 2 diabetes which by the way isn't that the one you give to yourself anyway like isn't that the one that you're kind of responsible for you weren't born with it you acquired it so it's kind of like hey man everybody we're on what's like if you have type 2 diabetes you gave it to yourself you got it so if you no longer have the medication to fix it it's
Starting point is 00:24:36 you like so now rich people in a rich fat people and poor fat people are having like a little civil war over this drug ozempic and this drug ozempic is really becoming like the hot weight loss drug remi baiter went on this drug who is a um she's a plus size model she's like a curvy model and she talks about this she goes on the drug and i guess she has some success on the drug afterwards she just complete she stops taking it okay here's what happened she stops taking ozempic tiktok star remi baiter says stopping ozempic made her binge eat and get so much worse she stops taking this drug which by the way you can't do you're not able to stop it if you start ozempic you cannot stop ozempic you're in you're in and all the Kardashians are on ozempic most of hollywood
Starting point is 00:25:34 is on ozempic all the people that claim that they are you know incredibly healthy because of lifestyle choices and trainers maybe but a lot of them are on drugs like ozempic they're on drugs and they have doctors that write prescriptions for drugs um baiter remi baiter she goes on ozempic she stops she starts mauling taco trucks like something out of a horror movie she's just like a zombie except you know she's not going for human flesh you know but she's out there saying i'm binge eating now like nothing i have ever done before in my life because i've stopped taking ozempic i am i am i am out there trying to kill people to eat now because baiter who is known for her realistic clothing hauls on tiktok has been vocal about her experience with binge
Starting point is 00:26:29 eating disorder i saw a doctor and they were like it's 100 percent because you want on ozempic she said the impact going off the medication had on her quote it was making me think i wasn't hungry for so long i lost some weight i didn't want to be obsessed with being on it long term i was like i bet the second i get off i'm gonna get starving again and she did as soon as she stopped taking ozempic it the ferocity came back she just wanted to eat so you got to be careful with these drugs i know they seem like um they seem like things that are a shortcut it's the but i'm telling you right now you are if you get off these drugs you become so much more like it's like you basically putting on a mask you're putting on uh contacts where every food you see is shit
Starting point is 00:27:34 it's all shit looks like shit people bring a porterhouse to the table or a shellfish tower or a big bowl of pasta it all looks and smells like shit you can't imagine eating it the fact that other people are eating it makes you sick and then you take the stop taking ozempic you take the glass off it's no longer shit and you go huh and then you're like you remember that you haven't eaten and you're like and that's bad so i don't know what's gonna happen um you know i think that you know people are always looking for the shortcut and this is certainly a really good shortcut um but uh i i i i feel for this woman who is now um a danger to herself and others when she got off this medication she's like going around mall food courts like a like a ravenous animal she's like a
Starting point is 00:28:30 dog that has been chained up in an empty warehouse finally smelling a steak and this is what's gonna happen um if you keep taking this shit you know i mean i but i will take it and it will work because i won't get off it that's the thing about me is i won't get off it i i don't this dumb bitch you don't get off it you stay on it it's like when you make a lifestyle choice you you go in you you choose it but she was also getting afraid she's like if i'm not the curvy model what am i you know if she becomes gaunt and bony and power to dream again um um this new movie came out called the menu which is really really funny and it parodies this restaurant not overtly but this restaurant called noma in Copenhagen where the chef Rene
Starting point is 00:29:28 Redzepi it's the hardest reservation to get in the world noma is a um a restaurant in uh Denmark in Copenhagen and Rene Redzepi is a guy that really pioneered this type of um style of cooking where it was like foraging where you would you know take local ingredients that were grown in and around the restaurant and utilize them this is a guy you know that kind of reinvented Nordic cuisine he was like you know i think he was using ants as salt at one time like ants because they had they tasted like salt and he was using ant it was amazing and and i'm trying to get a reservation here before it closes it's closing in 2024 because again it's more of the war on the rich because people are angry that people are so rich that as the world is burning down
Starting point is 00:30:23 they can go to nice places and eat because it's you're dominating you know as you know that he had a dish go to noma's duck dish people did not like this they didn't like this he had a duck dish where he basically he went a lot of chefs are going he went too far because what he basically did was he served you a decapitated duck this is the head of a duck and what he's doing is he's saying fuck this duck i'm we're rich that's what he's saying it's not about food what bigger lobsters the meat is tougher you know why they're better it's it's about power it's not about so what renee redzepi is saying here with this is that this duck had a family and i don't give a shit just like those people in yemen now if if if renee redzepi at noma
Starting point is 00:31:25 could serve you a yemeny child he would he would serve you a yemeny child and it would look exactly like that and people would eat it this restaurant noma is a restaurant that's about ingredients and but it's also about incredibly because this is food called food and i i have witnessed food culture and i was and i've been a part of it no offense and i've seen it i've seen the growth of the tasting menu i've eaten in leberna din when i was a child my father took me there when i was in seventh grade he took me to leberna din and he then he took me to phantom of the opera and then he took then he let me he brought me to a businessman's house and he made me suck him off and it was the best birthday that i ever had but i had been going to these restaurants
Starting point is 00:32:22 these tasting menus for a very long time and i have an appreciation for fine dining and they they've gotten more elaborate as time goes on and the and the menu does a great job making fun of this stuff the the stories that are being told about the food the stories that the ingredients tell about the area food is about race and about class like the new writer in the i forget it's maybe the san francisco san francisco chronicle salil ho always writes about food and class and you know about what is you know and i i mean aoc said something about like yucca or something like certain vegetables are racist or whatever but this idea that uh you know really wealthy people or they have they have the opportunity that other people don't have a lot of people say
Starting point is 00:33:12 why are people fat well they live in food deserts meaning they can't get good food they wake up and it's the taco bell or mcdonald's or burger king that's it they don't get good produce noma like most good things in life is a little bit of a lie and the lie of noma is that it's about the environment and it's about the vegetables but what it really is about is some people having more than others because it restricts those good things the environment it restricts them and it hands them rightfully so to a small group of people that can appreciate them because when i say he uses ants you go that's gross answer gross pizza's good i want more pizza you shouldn't be allowed in noma you shouldn't even be allowed in denmark you shouldn't be allowed in Copenhagen
Starting point is 00:34:17 the nordics with their beautiful white bodies not the digital thing they shouldn't even have to be near you they're hairless gorgeous adonis like physique they shouldn't they're all swimmers they all swimmers build it's not too much it's not like we have where it's like people are just clumps of muscle you know they have a nice evenly distributed physique because they eat shit like this they eat fish and tiny little potatoes and nobody cares about anything you're all somewhat depressed and they all live by canals but what's nice about restaurants like noma is that it allows people to truly go in there and feel like kings and queens but in like a really nice modern way where they're like hey you know we're telling the story of our of our of our
Starting point is 00:35:09 environment so noma's closing and noma has said now get up noma's statement when they were closing and what they're basically saying what they're basically saying is that in order to noma is closing because somebody said this um the conspiracy people are going noma is closing because its labor practices are unsustainable interesting well because they had interns i think they weren't paying their interns or something um but noma put out a statement um and they basically said we have to evolve um what we're doing right now which is serving like an 18 course menu to the wealthiest people in the world we've been guilted and we have to stop and now this guy rene redzepi who's exactly what a chef should be a psychopath lunatic who wants to murder and that's good
Starting point is 00:36:07 he's been cucked and he's not making cheeseburgers for slobs i mean i'm like so i really want to go to this stretch drop before closing to me it's like it's so it's an endless war on greatness it's an endless war so to continue being noma we must change dear guest colleagues in france winter 2024 will be the last season of noma as we know it we are beginning a new chapter noma 3.0 in 2025 a restaurant is transforming into a giant lab a pioneer in test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation blah blah blah they're going to come up with products there and sell them in the next phase we will continue to travel and search for new ways to share our work our our goal is to create a lasting organization dedicated to groundbreaking work in food
Starting point is 00:36:51 but also to redefine the foundation for a restaurant team a place where you can learn you can take risks you can grow they have been guilted into this no one likes success people hate it and this man who had the guts to say let's serve people animals that are not only cooked but humiliated let's humiliate this duck let's not only cook it let's denigrate it let's chop its head off and let's put it on the table at where you can imagine it having a family and you eat it while like there's something about that he had the balls to do this and there's something really truly beautiful about that making people feel like they're in charge of nature for a small window before nature comes and kills all of us but that's what renee redsept was doing he's like here's all this
Starting point is 00:37:42 nature and isn't it great and that's all ours it's ours if you have the reservation uh which is very hard to get but now people are criticizing this man for this and i think it's disgusting noma was about the it was the last time in our history that we were going to control nature the flora the fauna it was the last time we were going to be able to sit like kings and queens and eat everything look at all this beautiful bounty around us fuck sustainability fuck everything eat it delectably put it in our mouths eat it before the coming ice age it's the last thing we have left now you're seeing as the weather gets worse as climate gets worse as inequality worsens as all of these things happen restaurants like noma are going to say i remember after 9 11
Starting point is 00:38:33 in new york city when a lot of french restaurants seemed to be in bad taste for two reasons number one the french were a little they weren't exactly on board with our middle east uh genocide after 9 11 which was kind of weird of them um so people were spilling out french wine in the street we were calling french fries freedom fries but also this idea of having like a three hour tasting menu in a very opulent palatial setting when uh three thousand of your fellow citizens had just been seared for lack of a better word uh was disgusting it was grotesque people said so that's when the green market started coming into new york city dining uh people like tom calico uh started talking about green markets and like all the restaurants became raw materials it was wood it was brick it was
Starting point is 00:39:22 exposed steel beams and it was different it was not that you know pretend things got real after 9 11 things got real and people were like oh maybe the way we go out the way we enjoy ourselves should be reflective of the changes culturally that are happening that were brought on by this horrible event that made things more real almost overnight now with noma you have a man who for the last decade or you know thereabouts has been able to you know show people that you know the best of nature it has to be tamed nature cannot exist without being tamed so he tames nature the animals the plants and he brings it to you in the most amazing way a former noma intern describes his time at the restaurant to the financial times as as a as a kin to being kidnapped from life
Starting point is 00:40:18 due to the grueling schedule this is now the revenge of the losers so the losers are going to come out that i didn't have the time he's a genius he's a gene you're decapitating ducks he's a genius the man's a genius he's a genius you dumb american fuck or copenhagen ish fuck whatever same shit Denmark fuck you lazy fuck you're all lazy just Scandinavians are so fucking lazy there is a word in Denmark i forget what it is it basically means don't stand out like there's a a word in like Nordic culture that means like enough already with your special things blend in blend the fuck in here's one guy that dared really to show people that the most royal and regal you will feel is is taking these precious things that you see all around you and putting them in your body
Starting point is 00:41:14 eating them and he's being guilted by communists and by hollywood and by the worst degenerates that have ever lived and they're trying to ruin they're ruining these and i haven't even gotten to go yet and i wanted to go and this is one of my they closed a bully in spain from man at the restaurant where he did molecular gastronomy he'd take things and make them into gases and potions and he'd be like look that was an orange now it's a little bowl of gel and they closed that restaurant okay and noma was my mount everest i'm gonna try to get it because i'm not i'm gonna stop eating in restaurants this year for the majority of the year um while i do my um osempic cleanse and they were they're gonna put me into the body of um a small uh child that was killed in the chicago
Starting point is 00:42:06 fire i spoke to the person who did Kardashian chloe i spoke to the same necromancer they're gonna put me into the body of a child where i can be reincarnated because i have money now so they'll reincarnate me into the body of a child well for that died in the in the triangle factory fire and maybe in new york i don't know but this is what i because the body has to be completely charred the necromancer was explaining it to me i don't know but the body has to be completely charred and then i could you could the soul could be reconstituted it's not a big deal but it starts with osempic you you prepare with osempic and then you are reincarnated into the body of um someone else but my point is that i've always wanted to go to noma this is a fascination
Starting point is 00:42:41 of mine i took to sam talent who opened for me the great hilarious sam talent go buy his book um and and i would say sam we gotta go to noma noma noma noma renee words epi nuts he's nuts and the whole the staff they fear him in there and and listen because listen you know folks it's a war it's a war it's a war being fought right now and people that want mediocrity to win are in the lead people that want failure to win are in the lead and i don't know what to tell you i don't know what to tell you but listen people go oh i don't have a life because i'm in noma and i feel like it's being kidnapped from my life what the fuck were you gonna do anyway hans what were you gonna fucking do anyway this is a genius he's he's chopping heads off ducks he's doing things with
Starting point is 00:43:37 vegetables you've never even seen this man is is allowing the people who've ruined the planet to ruin it just a little bit more before the planet turns on us all the planet is turning on us all don't you want to have one last fuck you to the planet don't you want to have one last middle finger up piss on the fucking don't you want to just run through the brazilian rainforest with a fucking flame torch just before it's over fully for us and that's what noma was about to be noma was the about total dominance over the natural world before it kills us but like renee words epi now has been bullied i'd love to have him on the show please reach out to me he's and they make this movie the menu which is hilarious and lovely but it's about this crazy chef and i love it i think
Starting point is 00:44:22 it's great it's a great movie um but you know i think and they don't know if it's why noma closed or why i didn't close or whatever but at the end of the day this this very and you know this new thing now where it's like really uh tasting menus where we procure these very expensive rare ingredients and serves as wealthy people there's something inherently wrong with this will you stop what about these clubs where people go out and they spend tens of thousands of dollars on booze so they could go to a vip lounge and they could stand there in a club that's okay that's okay but somehow a restaurant where a genius humiliates the natural world in front of you abuses it fucks mushrooms in the face molests ducks there's something wrong with that well that's my that's
Starting point is 00:45:18 my take on it i'm sad it's closing and i hope to get a reservation before it's done because it does signify to me it's the end of an era you know that era of fine dining that era of um you know total utter and abuse of the natural world which is so integral to a great dining experience you really have to uh humiliate things that's your there's just nothing you have to rip things out of the ground you have to cook them you have to kill things you have to take clams and scallops and this and that you have to do this is what the native americans believe the native americans believe that all of these things were for their benefit and somehow we've gotten away from that these vegan freaks are out there saying that you know oh you know we don't need to be eating the native americans
Starting point is 00:46:07 would use every part of the animal this was the thing for the coat and then they would eat it and then they'd make the necklace and people you know and we've gotten away from that now where we think that like if we dominate the natural world at all we've done something horrible but i'm saying it's too late to make peace with the earth so we need to fuck it up a little more right before the earth comes for its great revenge and that's why um i'm sad about the closing of noma the greatest restaurant maybe of all time in Copenhagen Denmark an unimportant place that no one it's the only reason anyone even thought of Denmark is noma the only reason the truly wealthy people went to Denmark was to eat at noma and it's sad to me that uh this man uh you
Starting point is 00:46:58 know the nfl playoff picture is locked in and my go-to place for wild card round action is draft king sports book i love betting it's so important to me everyone i love loves betting and here's a reality the nfl is where people bet this is the season and this is where people are making money you sandbag manfredo started a sub-stack to defend himself and sandbag manfred of course the leader of ftx dethroned because of the rampant anti-semitism in america he wrote an article on his sub-stack and he's like i don't steal funds and i certainly didn't stash away billions he said ftx's us is fully solvent and always has been he wrote of the company's american division saying that quote a ridiculous here's the thing sam talk about the call talk about
Starting point is 00:47:49 dude your sub-stacks it's gonna it's gonna be boring talk about the sex call go into that tell us about how it feels like to be betrayed by this bitch like you have to make it a little more fun than just a like an oh like you're oh you're telling people that it's actually not that bad which i look which is kind of funny he's like it's actually things are actually fine i've been arrested it's a kind of a mistake and as soon as i show everyone how fun it is like bangman fread wrote in the sub-stack post that he was seeking to set the record straight with testimony he was set to give the house financial services committee on december 13th unfortunately the department of justice moved to arrest me the night before preempting my testimony with an
Starting point is 00:48:35 entirely different news cycle he wrote of his arrest in the Bahamas never in my career have i seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information and this is uh the people that are saying that sam bangman fread is a liar and that he will be um you know convicted and he will be he will go down but bangman fread is now saying that uh on his sub-stack that actually and we're going to follow this trial closely we're going to follow it closely because you know at the end of the day i um you know i think this could represent the although bitcoin is up a little bit bitcoin's up a little bit logan paul has released a video which i think he's trying to do the right thing by those people
Starting point is 00:49:25 saying he made a little bit of a whoopsie and bitcoin's now at 20,784 dollars so it is starting to creep back up or has bitcoin hit a bottom or are people like you know all these exchanges have gone out of business that suffered all this bad news but at the end of the day is bitcoin going to climb back up i remember in the height of bitcoin there were all these ideas and you know with nfts that there was going to be secret restaurants nft and i was really excited about this nfts it would get you into secret restaurants you know and that nobody would be able to get into exclusivity is not a horrible thing it's not the worst thing um there's worse things than that if there's worse things than people going out to dinner and you you can go to
Starting point is 00:50:12 noma and be poor you just have to make choices and stop giving your kids everything takes from them and give to yourself and you can fly to cope and hang in and go to noma it really depends on what you've got foodies have gone there they're not all rich it's just something nice there is something to me about this idea that excellence is wrong and that excellence has to be destroyed and that everything good has to be common i'm telling you man this will be societies are going to get very ugly very quickly if this across the board is embraced that everything good has to be common and that attractive people are the enemy rich people are the enemy um take 18 course tasting menus are the enemy they're not the enemy in fact they are your friend sitting in a restaurant
Starting point is 00:51:04 and having 18 plates of you know endangered animals and plants brought to you is ideal it's lovely it shows that you've done this planet the way you should do it okay and this idea that across the board that everything has to be common everything's a cheeseburger we all love a cheeseburger we all love a sloppy slice of pizza we all love a three a.m disgusting uh a fuck with a an old flame at a bar or something everybody loves the common things but we we must strive for better things for great things for things that mean something you know and i think that as a society right now unfortunately we seem to be embracing this narrative that just because it's only for a few people it's bad and that's not true not everybody's going to be able to appreciate
Starting point is 00:52:00 noma not everyone's going to be able to appreciate anything so why are we restricting uh you know the people that can appreciate things from from enjoying them so someone else better open something and it better be more ostentatious than noma it better be more expensive more exclusive harder to get in really really poor taste i'm talking about people paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a reservation maybe it's on a boat maybe it's not tied to the laws of any country you know i don't know i'm just spitballing but i'm saying that like we can't completely go to war on the specific in favor of the general it's it's ugly it's it's it's base not base base bad it's low rent it's not good don't shame people on the basis there should be no shaming don't
Starting point is 00:53:06 noma shame don't tasting men you shame people the same way you don't want to fat shame don't tasting men you shame don't wealth shame don't privilege shame if you can't get on a plane and go to noma that's fucking your thing not everybody has to fucking you know and this guy rene red red zeppy red and i don't care what his last name is i know that i'm pronouncing it it's fine i believe it's red zeppy red and zeppy but but he he fully revelant look at this man all this guy's thought about since he was a child is having the best restaurant in the world look at look in his eyes close up on those eyes look at this man's eyes he's not even in his own body he's no longer in his own like every person who's successful he is somewhere else he is in a prison of his success
Starting point is 00:54:00 and he will only be let out of that when he sheds his earthly form and don't you want to eat it that right you want to eat this poor guy's gonna make burgers now he's gonna make fucking burgers he's gonna be nice to people i would you like would you like we could put anything on your burger you want is that the way you want to go out you fucking freaks is that the way you want society to end like like him violent geniuses having to be neutered and made to make cheeseburgers for the sloths it's not right so we hope that the weather in california gets better we are cautiously optimistic about that i do see the benefit of a little unease and i think you do too now that i've explained it but we don't want it to be we don't want to go overboard so there you have it
Starting point is 00:54:53 there are some thoughts about what's going on this week tim dillon comedy.com we have all the dates up there for tickets patreon.com slash the tim dillon show for bonus content uh the episode with Joe Rogan was a lot of fun um and we'll see you guys on the road thank you very much and let us hope that if this weather doesn't get better let's hope the destruction of people's lives brings happiness uh to others that are watching it on tv
