If you don't want to hear about politics or war, go listen to Ed Sheeran play his great songs like Shape of You and Castle on the Hill.

1:16The Tim Dillon Show is proud to be sponsored

1:19Tim Dillon:by Ed Sheeran and his show. Ed Sheeran. Bad week for him I talk about it a little bit on the Patreon But very, very, very sad Macklemore Macklemore? Macklemore? Macklemore? Macklemore? Whatever Macklemore said free Palestine Just to bring you up to speed Robert Kraft, billionaire Owns MetLife Was like, hey, you can't do this A bunch of my buddies own stadiums and arenas you're not going to perform in any of them if you don't drop this guy from the tour. And then he's dropped from the tour. And then Ed Sheeran puts out a big statement. And all of the openers are leaving. Billie Eilish's husband, Phineas, is leaving.

2:09Tim Dillon:All of these people, I think some of Ed Sheeran's band is out. I'm in. I will go and open the tour with stand-up comedy. I'll do anything anybody wants. I'll go, hey, Ed. Put me in. And so I don't know what's going to happen to this tour. I don't know. Yeah, Ed Sheeran's own band and all his support acts pull out of the U.S. tour. Wow. This guy is fucked. I don't know what he's going to do now. I hope he doesn't go out of the window like that One Direction guy. Remember that? I'm not making a joke. I'm concerned about his mental health. That guy went out of the window. Here's what I'm saying. People, I mean, you know, these things take on a life of their own.

3:04And Ed Sheeran's like, this is a guy who, you know, probably, you know, just here's the thing with Ed Sheeran. He doesn't, he's not really,

3:18Tim Dillon:he doesn't really care that the Palestinians have been genocided. he doesn't that's not and he should kind of say that and just kind of go I don't really care that much like I know it's bad but I don't it's not like top of mind for me you know like if he just came out would that be understandable if he said that he goes I got a lot of things to worry about you know it's not easy to do an arena show you got to make sure people get they feel like they've got their money's worth and I got it you know we got to make sure the set list is tight and you know everybody's i haven't done this in a while at this level and i know that the palestinians are walking around here without arms or legs but i just it's not my main thing like that's not that's not top of mind i can't that's not the that's not what i'm doing here i gotta play these songs and you know i get it sure it's bad but what do you want me to do you know i don't i don't care that much that this is happening.

4:18But here's the deal. Everybody, you know, myself included, what's gone on in Gaza is atrocious.

4:29Tim Dillon:It's a violation of every human right. Every human rights organization in the world has basically said, this is genocide by the, you know, they've destroyed 93 % of the homes in Gaza. The kids are not going to, you know, I mean, like people are still dying. There are still attacks. And it's one of those, is this the one? I was, I don't know. I don't want to keep playing him. But anyway, you know, I think Ed Sheeran should just kind of come out and go, listen, I don't, I don't care. Because he did this whole wordy statement where it's like, blah, blah, blah, you know. I don't care. Just go, I don't care.

5:12And you'll lose some people. you'll lose people but you know it is and then also get ahead of it

5:22Tim Dillon:and go I also don't care about Lebanon and then he goes and if they eventually go into Turkey I don't care about that I don't care about those girls and Iran do them all get them all out of the way so that nobody can and just go hey if you want to come back and ask me about Lebanon in a week I'm going to tell you right now don't care Don't care. Those girls who were in Iran in a school. By the way, weren't girls not allowed to go to school in Iran, I heard? Wasn't that the thing? They weren't supposed to be allowed to go to a school in Iran? That's our whole thing, by the way, about the Middle East.

6:00The women aren't allowed to go to school. They were in a school and we killed them. That seems interesting. They're not allowed to go to school in Iran. Okay, I'm sure Iran's not like a great place to live, but think about that like our whole rationale for these things is we're going around the world to liberate women and liberate gay people and liberate whatever and the the girls that are in a school we incinerated them we killed these girls that's supposedly not allowed to school whatever i'm not saying i ran like of a feminist utopia i'm just saying it is ironic that the girls we killed were in an actual school seems odd.

6:42Kash Patel, we haven't spoken about him in a while because we just allow him to do his work. That's the way I feel about people.

6:51Tim Dillon:We have a respectful distance to allow Kash Patel to do his work. It's important work running the FBI. Kash Patel is the guy. He's the top cop. He's our nation's top cop. so if something goes wrong Kash Patel is there to find out who the bad guys are and also while he's not doing that he's rooting out corruption in the FBI and reforming it and cleaning it up this is what we've been told now Kash Patel is you know he's disappeared from our radar a little bit because when I lay my head on my pillow every night I am incredibly heartened that Kash Patel is doing the work. He's, because I don't want to know about everything the FBI is doing.

7:42We can't. It's classified. But here's the deal. We all say you go to bed, you feel safe, you feel secure because someone like Kash Patel, who is, I believe, a podcaster, is running the FBI and doing, he's bringing justice for the Epstein victims. He's finding out all the ins and outs of the Kirk thing. He's making sure that we know everything we need to know about Thomas Matthew Crooks who tried to shoot the president of the United States right doesn't everyone feel satisfied that we know all of those things I do there's not one thing I want to learn about any of that by the way I feel satisfied there's not one thing I want to learn about Crooks Kirk or the Epstein things I feel very satisfied with the explanations given on all of those things thank you to Cash Patel for that friend of the show legend icon the guy so I don't question a lot of what he does because I just think he's got good intentions I like his girlfriend I like her whole thing I like her Israeli country music she's doing and I feel like it makes sense I like when he was doing that Bakabazi dance in that hotel room that he was doing in Vegas when he was doing that weird kind of Bakabazi where Afghanis dress nine-year-old boys like women and make them paint their faces like clowns and make them dance in, you know, I think that was a nice dance that he was doing.

9:04So I don't question this man because I have trust. And this is what has been severed in America. I liked it. He was here celebrating with the hockey team and he's pouring beer everywhere. They want, this is exciting for everyone. The head of the FBI. Now you got to remember, this was weeks before they told us that we were all at risk of like domestic terror plots that were being hatched by Iran. They were trying to kill the president. They were trying to kill everybody. And so as that was going on, Kash Patel, because he's so good at his job, he was able to travel to the Olympics and get drunk with the hockey team, the U.S.

9:48Tim Dillon:hockey team, and celebrate their victory. and and you know why because and this is he delegates that's what that's what someone does who's at the top they delegate they don't need to be there themselves they delegate good executives delegate they're not micromanaging everything they they invest in good people so while iran is running around trying to kill the president of the united states and launch terror attacks on the country cash patel has put the right people in place to deal with that while he is drunk in a locker room with a hockey team. So Kez Patel, I'm not questioning what he's saying now, which is that people that have sex with animals should work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

10:33I don't question that. Do you think you know better than the director of the feds? Do you think you know more? Do you think you know better than him if he comes out and says people that have sex with animals should work for our government, I agree with him because, by the way, it's very easy to have sex with an animal. Sometimes it's by mistake. Sometimes you're horny and there's an animal around. Sometimes it's a goof with your friends. You want to have sex with an animal and you want to, you know, send a, hey, here's something fun in the group text. Here's me fucking my dog. I'm fucking my dog in the group text.

11:12Isn't that fun? I'm having sex with my animal. Hey, I'm going to eat my cat's pussy and send it to everybody. I bet they're going to laugh while they're waiting on the line at just salad. It's very easy to have sex with animals. So FBI Director Cash Patel, friend of the show, love him, love him by the way. Send this to him and I know people do. So he's removing bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for FBI job applicants. The FBI previously

11:44Tim Dillon:automatically disqualified people who acknowledged engaging in crimes, including prostitution or bestiality, which is sexual activity between a human and an animal, in case you didn't know. Now applicants won't automatically be disqualified for those acts. By the way, it is hilarious that the FBI is disqualifying people for prostitution. It's like all the FBI does is these honeypots and these, you know, weird things and they're involved in everything. And everybody focuses on the CIA, and that's understandable. But the feds are all over that shit, too. By the way, they're working at covering up a lot of these scandals, including Epstein.

12:25Patel said in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that the new rules were put in place because we did not want to punish victims of bestiality, victims who were trafficked. We don't want to punish people who were forced to have sex with animals and then want to work for the FBI. We believe they didn't enjoy it. Because that'll be a question. Did you enjoy it? If you had sex with an animal and didn't enjoy it, you are welcome at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If you had sex with an animal and looked back on it and say, that was kind of weird, then you can work for the feds.

13:09You just can't talk about you. If you came, I don't know if we can have you, but if you didn't come, if you had sex with an animal and pulled out or didn't come and didn't enjoy it and don't love it and look back on it with some form of regret, maybe you don't regret the whole thing. Maybe you describe it as a learning experience. Hey, it was a learning experience. I had sex with an animal. I learned something about it You know the fur is more of a thing than you would think You know I didn't really think the fur was a big deal But you know the fur is a big thing I thought yeah you'd use it to kind of pull the animal closer But you know they are animals At the end of the day they have claws and fangs And sharp teeth so They don't want you to rape them They don't want you to have sex with them And I didn't realize that when I was having sex with an animal And as long as you give a good explanation Because that's who I want working at the FBI victims of sex trafficking who've been forced to have sex with animals they seem to be clear-headed people they're not but here's what cash patel saying we gotta blackmail these people somehow we're lifting this because we need to blackmail these people somehow if you are on tape having sex with a dog we're pretty confident we can control you running your mouth about thomas Matthew Crooks.

14:28That's what this is. That's what it is. If we have you on tape having sex with a dog, we're going to show you that tape. When you say, you know, this Crooks thing seems a little odd and I'd actually like to look into this more. We're going to go and you're going to know we have a tape of you having sex with a dog. In order to work for the government, we want you We want you on tape, having sex with a child or a dog or a pet. That's how you get into the government. That's what Kansman tells you. Just say, honestly, here's how we staff the FBI. Who's had sex with a child? Who's had sex with a pet?

15:12Because we need some leverage. Who's a drug addict? Who's financial life's out of control? Who's embezzling money? Who do we got leverage on? um why would you even get into bestiality Republican John Kennedy asked Patel can we play Patel's answer because again I want to and by the way I'm not trying to do some type of thing here but I'd like to hear it from the horse's mouth I want to hear it from the horse's mouth mouth the big strong horse's mouth there was a porn star who got fucked by a horse and died by the way and it's sad that he died because if not he could have been working for the fbi cash patel he's no longer protecting those who've been charged with biciality he's protecting those who are victims just turned it upside down no you did that no you actually did because you lied No, I can just tell you what I'm reading to you is you dropped automatic disqualification for applicants who have been engaged in bestiality, not victims of bestiality, applicants who have engaged.

16:22Do you disagree with that? Applicants who have engaged in bestiality means they were victims of bestiality. No, it doesn't. Because they were forced to do so. And at this FBI, we are not going to criminalize and prevent victims from serving the United States of America in the premier law school. And by the way, stop it for a minute. Whether you're engaged in bestiality or a victim of it really depends on the animal and the animal's reaction. And that's what Kash Patel should have said with his beady little eyes. He should have looked at that senator and said, Sir, with all due respect, the line between engaging in bestiality and being a victim of bestiality all depends on the animal.

17:01And the animal's reaction to said sexual conduct. was the animal having fun?

17:09Tim Dillon:These are questions we have to ask ourselves. Continue. ...vent victims from serving the United States of America and the premier law enforcement agency in the world. They did that before. I eliminated the bureaucracy that prevented these great Americans from serving, or at least being considered from serving, and I'm going to continue to do that. That's right. Great Americans who are having sex with animals. I eliminated the bureaucracy that prevented great Americans who've had sex with their pets.

17:41Tim Dillon:Senator Kennedy. Yeah. Okay, let's watch this guy. Senator Kennedy's very funny, by the way. He's a very funny guy. All right, let's listen to this. Why would you even get into bestiality? We are not into bestiality, but a lot of these individuals are. I know you're not. A lot of people we contract are. But I'm trying to explain it. You changed the qualifications and mentioned bestiality. Everyone has kinks. Everyone has kinks, sir. I mean, Senator Kennedy, let's be real here. We're not going to kink shame people that have sex with animals and tell them that they can't work to cover up who Thomas Matthew Crooks was working for or whatever the hell happened with Kirk.

18:22Tim Dillon:Like, if you want to cover up these things, we'd actually prefer that you had sex with animals and that we had that on video. neutrophil is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement brand used by over 1.5 million people okay if your hair is not performing like it used to the move isn't a hat it's addressing the root cause neutrophil works from the inside out and it's backed by real credentials neutrophil has formulas built for men at different light stages for life stages guys 18 to 49 neutrophil for men 50 plus i'm telling you everyone that i know who takes this is so happy.

21:19Tim Dillon:And I apologize for that. Someone called it Doom Corps. That's not my intent. I think the Anthropic thing's a little bit of a scam. That guy, Dario, whatever his name is, Wario, Mario, who's ever running Bowser, whoever runs Anthropic, he's out there going, we've built this crazy thing. It's going to kill you all. And the only way we can have it not kill you is if you give us a shitload of money. How about giving us a trillion dollars? then we'll figure out a way to keep this thing in the box. Dario Amodai. But if you don't give us some kind of huge payout here, and if we can't keep artificially inflating our stock price by terrifying people and saying that we've built the most dangerous machine known to man, he's got an IPO, he's got IPO plans, all of this stuff works in conjunction with these big announcements that are timed to have people go, I got to get in on the ground floor of this, the most powerful technology ever built, and it's going to kill everyone unless we give this guy all this money.

22:25But again, let's not be bleak. Let's not doom and gloom. I want to talk about Mark Wayne Mullen, who chooses to live with a roommate. Get up Mark Wayne Mullen. I want to focus on these completely normal people, salt of the earth Americans, that are behaving and living totally normal lives that are completely understandable to every person. And, you know, these are totally normal people. They're not being controlled at all. No one has any leverage on them. They're an open book. And that's what's the great thing about them. Mark Wayne Mullen has basically come out and said,

23:08Tim Dillon:I prefer to live with my heterosexual male colleague. And if you have a problem with that, it's your issue. I'm totally normal guy. So Mark W. Mellon, by the way, is the, I'm blanking now on what he does. I believe he is. I want to say he's the, go up here. I want to say he's Homeland Security. Yes, that's right. So Mark Wayne Mullen is our Secretary of Homeland Security. And there was an article that just came out that it's basically him clearing up this idea. People think it's gay to live with an adult man who you're not fucking when you clearly have the money to live by yourself or live with someone else.

24:00So Mark Wayne Mullen owns a house on Capitol Hill and he lives with his roommate and he shares the, yeah, he owns 40 properties. So Mark Wayne Mullen owns 40 properties, okay?

24:16Tim Dillon:And he shares a Capitol Hill home with his close friend, Republican Representative Jason Smith. The living arrangement in Washington, by the way, what a sitcom. The living arrangement in Washington has attracted attention from insiders. The Daily Mail reported that Mullen, 49, and Smith, 46, have shared the residence for three years. They're bro-ing out. And these are all the people that hate gay people and talk about how weird gay people are and how they're ruining the world and ruining the country. And they're just choosing to live for three years with their heterosexual life partner, Bestie.

24:55A source familiar with the pair described the arrangement as, quote, unusual for a cabinet secretary,

25:00Tim Dillon:stating it's strange that a cabinet secretary still has a roommate. Maybe it's because he is so rarely in D.C. since he flies home so often, he literally uses it as a crash pad. According to the insider, people pass in and out of the shared home. Another source confirmed this and compared the house to a, quote, college dorm due to the frequent comings and goings for work and social visits. So, again, these are the totally normal people. that live and work in Washington, D.C. The arrangement reflects a longstanding friendship, which began when Smith and Mullen met at a gym. Ooh. Oh. Huh. Oh. Huh.

25:46Tim Dillon:And became close during their time in Congress. Smith later described Mullen as a man of God, a husband, and a father in an essay about their friendship. Interesting. Fun. However, the setup raises potential ethics questions because House rules prohibit members from accepting gifts worth more than$100 from a single source in one year. A below-market rent could qualify as a gift. By the way, this is probably the least corrupt thing happening in that administration because everything in that administration is so nakedly corrupt. It's actually exhausting. It's so corrupt and unbelievable. But it is funny to me that, again, when you start looking at the people and their lives, these strange lives that they have.

Read the full transcript

26:36Tim Dillon:And, oh, it's a crash pad. He's an adult. A crash pad is supposed to be a place for you to go crash. Not for you to, like, hang with your boys. You're 50 years old. Now, whatever. I'm not saying they're fucking. I don't know, but it makes less sense. It's weirder if they're not fucking. Do you get that? You get how strange it is if they're not fucking? These people are odd. They're just strange people. Kash Patel's a strange guy. You go, what exactly is going on here? I don't understand it. It doesn't make any sense to me. And listen, whatever you want to do, God bless. A representative from Mullen told the Daily Mail that the Secretary of Homeland Security acts as Smith, that the congressperson's landlord, having bought the house in 2023, but declined to say how much the congressman hands over each month.

27:33Tim Dillon:The Daily Mail reported that it could not find any public record of any rent transaction for this specific property. Maybe he's paying in another way. Maybe he's paying in another way. And I know people go, it's a non-story. Yeah, sure, whatever. Maybe it's fucking weird. we're allowed to wonder why the Secretary of Homeland Security is rooming with a fucking congressman instead of just fucking getting a crash pad for himself it's strange that a cabinet secretary has a roommate yeah it's fucking weird sorry sorry it's a little odd it's a little odd he's not a broke comedian who has roommates into their 30s because they can't figure comedy out or a writer or an actor or a fucking whatever or somebody who's trying to get a company off the ground and has to devote every dollar into that.

28:25Tim Dillon:It's not somebody who moved back in with their parents because they're ailing. It's not somebody who's caring for a sick relative. It's a guy who's choosing to live with his more than middle-aged bestie in Washington. I don't know. Maybe there's nothing there. I am excited, though. If you don't want to see Ed Sheeran because you have a problem with him, I would say Go to the Steve Bannon Bernie Sanders thing They're calling for more AI regulations Steve Bannon, Bernie Sanders Are going on the road It is Fuck Ed Sheeran and Macklemore This is the show you want to see Bannon Sanders Or Sanders Bannon And they're going to get on stage And they don't agree on much They don't agree on really, well, they do agree on some stuff.

29:25But here we go.

29:26Tim Dillon:Here's a little bit of Sanders. This is the ticket, by the way. I think this is going to be the hot ticket. It's not it, Sharon. Sharon, fuck that up. This is going to be the hot ticket. The hot ticket is going to be, hey, I am appearing with Steve. And you're going to tell your friends, go, I got us tickets. To what? Where are we going? Who are we going to see? Beyonce? No. Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon, the pro-human assembly. What? Is that a play? No, it's Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon. Now, by the way, if anything makes you think that AI is going to win, it is because the two public faces of the assault against it are Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon.

30:14So can we watch a little bit of Bernie's speech there at the pro-human assembly? So now, by the way, I don't want to depress anyone, as I've been accused of, but it's all of Silicon Valley, all of our political establishment, all of the money, our entire economy, versus this. Perhaps the most important point that I want to leave with you this afternoon is that AI is advancing exponentially, exponentially every single day. In other words, what you are looking at right now is the least capable version of AI that we will ever have.

31:06Tim Dillon:How great would it be if you just saw a robot remove him from the stage? You just saw a humanoid robot walk on stage and just pick him up and then walk off stage with him as he kept screaming. This is the last. And this humanoid robot just walks on stage and carries him off. You see? You see what I mean? All right. Well, go get that ticket if you want. We welcome Mitch McConnell back. Mitch McConnell has had many health issues, but looks to me as feral and young as he's ever looked. Take a look at him right now. Now, this is Mitch McConnell, who is back. He's spry. He's young. He's ready to get into the business of governing and saving this great nation.

31:54Tim Dillon:Take a look at him. They put him in hiking boots, and he's smiling. Go for it, yes. Look at him. There he is. Any other bills you're looking forward to? He doesn't know where he is. Oh, yeah. Are we voting tonight, Senator? When can we expect that? How great is this? They can't lose him. They're about to lose the House. What is the poly market chances on the House? I mean, it's over here. I mean, like 60 % that the Dems are taking the Senate and then 90 % that the Dems are taking the House. Yeah, so at the end of the day, I mean, that's pretty definitive. I don't think that that's wrong. I think that's probably pretty accurate.

32:35So you got, listen, you can't lose McConnell. So even though McConnell technically, medically, is dead, what is good about it is that McConnell, you can put him in a wheelchair, you can put him in a van, you can drive him around, you can wheel him in, you can pick up his hand for him to vote. Should Israel get another$20 billion, you could pick up his little old claw, you can vote for him.

33:07Tim Dillon:he's he's weekend to bernie's it's been said before i'll say it again he is medically deceased but he is still an important and integral part of our government take a look here here is a mitch mcconnell republicans have to instruct mitch mcconnell to vote yes on a bill after he nearly votes no with the democrats mitch mcconnell he almost has like locked in syndrome that like horrible thing where you're just in. He's just in. He doesn't know what's going on anymore. So what they do is they have to tell him, like, you do yes, you do no. And no one will let him die. No one will let him die. He is not allowed to die.

33:48He can do anything else but die. He cannot die. He is not allowed to die. And Doc, he is being pumped with so many things we don't even know exist. They are basically like, this guy cannot die before the midterm. We will not tolerate it. So here is Mitch McConnell. Take a look at Mitch McConnell, who is being artificially kept alive by the Republicans in a brilliant move to try to limit the damage and the losses here. He is being artificially kept alive. He just wants to die. Mitch McConnell, like if he pulled you close to him, he would go, kill me, kill me. He probably only says two words, and they are kill me.

34:31Kill me or let me die. What would you like for lunch, Mitch? Kill me. Nope. You know that you can have anything you want, but we're not doing that. Please, please kill me. Nope. I'm under strict order to keep you alive at all costs.

34:48Tim Dillon:So here he is, Mitch McConnell, looking great, looking sharp. The question is on reporting the agriculture. Act of 2026 as amended as an original bill the clerk will call the roll. Senator Klobuchar. No. Senator Bennett. No. Senator Smith. No. Senator Durbin. No. Senator Booker. No. Senator Lujan. No. Senator Warnock. Senator Welch. Senator Fetterman. Senator Schiff. No by proxy. Senator Slotkin. No by proxy. Senator McConnell. No. Aye. Aye. Senator McConnell. Aye. Aye. Senator Hoven. Aye. There you go. So there it is. He doesn't, he's confused. He is longing for the sweet release of death like no one I have ever seen.

36:02He is praying to just be released.

36:06Tim Dillon:This is like Terry Shivo. Terry Shivo was a woman who was brain dead. and the Republicans in the pro-life fervor was like, I will not let my wife die and they propped the woman up all over the place. They would put her on Fox News. She'd be drooling, all this stuff. This is the new Terry Schiavo. She had like a brain injury and the Republicans are like, she's still in it. She's still with it. Mitch McConnell is now the Terry Schiavo. He will not die. He's not allowed to die. no matter how confused he gets, no matter how bad he looks, he's not able to die. They really believe it. This is, when I talk about pro-life, this guy begs for death every minute of the day.

36:56Tim Dillon:He begs for death. He doesn't understand where he is or what's going on. Most of his days, he's just shocked that he's still alive. He forgets he's still alive. the best moments of his day are when he thinks he's dead. When he is aroused from a slumber or when he is made to get into a van and driven to Capitol Hill, he is confronted with the horrible, horrific reality that he is still somehow a life form on this planet and he is of use to people. But when he thinks he's dead, like when he zones out in a meeting, he's dead. And he's so happy. He's dead. Consciousness is left. And then they go, no, no, no, you can't vote.

37:43No, you got to vote. You got to vote. You got to vote yes. And he goes, aye, aye, aye. They won't let him die. Now, by the way, after the midterms, then he'll just die. He's clearly dead. He's ready to go. I've never seen anyone more ready to go than him. And it's got to be a dirty business keeping him alive. right it's got to be kind of traumatic for the people around him that clearly know he should be

38:13Tim Dillon:in hospice or underground already it's got to be a little bit of a dirty business shuffling miss mitch mcconnell dragging this corpse around dc it can't feel great all these young guys they get into politics and they're like i'm gonna change things whatever the hell they want to change. You see all these people running around YouTube debating people. And a lot of that's just because they want money and fame. They don't give a shit about politics. But, you know, let's give some of them the benefit of the doubt. They go to these schools and they're like, I'm going to get in there and clean it up.

38:47Tim Dillon:And this country needs to be blah. And then you grow up and then you realize that your job is to wheel a half-dead Mitch McConnell into a conference room and tell him how to vote. That's really what it comes down to for many people. You go, well, I had a lot of dreams when I was young, but now I have to put this corpse into a van and have him driven and get him out and all this guy wants to do is die you ever notice how the second you lock in your picks he completely changes a person before kickoff you're chilling relax maybe a little bored then you lock your picks and now you're standing there three feet from the tv because you know somehow that's helping you're googling whether sports reports uh for a stadium eight states away you're screaming just throw it to him like you've got a direct line in the qb i love that.

39:47That's what I do, folks. I honestly think that's the best parts of sports. Not the outcome. The sweat. The stretch between making your pick and finding out if you're a genius. That's why I play. And those of you who watch to sit up and not sit back, it's got to be underdog. So this season, don't just watch. Lock in with underdog and give every game a pulse. Download underdog to play. Keep your millions. Start with a million. Make it through all 20 picks and walk away with whatever's left. Underdog unleash your dog. It's a great way to watch sports. It's what they're saying. And that's the way I feel.

40:24Because you got skin in the game. You get it? Just for an example. Can I give an example? I was in the U.S. I watched the U.S. Open on Ben Shelton to lose. And he lost. And it felt good. Because that was his dream. and it didn't happen. And I made money from that. That sounds good to me.

41:02Tim Dillon:Wow. Have you ever opened the fridge and stared in it for five minutes and somehow convinced yourself there's nothing to eat? I feel like that happens way more often than it should. ButcherBox solved that for me because I always know I've got something in the freezer and I feel good cooking. The easiest dinner isn't always the one that comes to a drive-thru. Sometimes it's knowing you've already got incredible protein sitting in your freezer. That's exactly why ButcherBox has become part of my routine. One thing I always try to prioritize is getting enough protein throughout the week. It's so much easier when you already have high-quality options.

41:30Ready to cook. Instead of figuring out last minute, that's why I like ButcherBox. It makes quality protein the easiest option when it's time to cook. ButcherBox delivers 100 % grass-fed beef, organic chicken, wild-caught seafood, and more. All sourced to standards that they can actually tell you about. they've already done the research and made the tough sourcing decisions. So all you have to do is decide what's for dinner. Don't go on these apps and order food, cook a piece of wild salmon and treat yourself,

41:58Tim Dillon:cook a steak, stop with this stuff. You keep ordering a big bowl of noodles and crashing into your couch, order, get up, get, you know, it feels good when you're cooking meat in your house. Like an American, you cook a nice thing of meat. And it's affordable. That's the thing about ButcherBox. This is not, you're not, you know, come on. Invest in yourself. Go to butcherbox.com slash Tim to get 20%. And that's what I told that woman who wanted to feed her kids. I said, get ButcherBox. Go to butcherbox.com slash Tim to get 20 % off your first box. plus your choice of a free ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon in every box for a year.

42:46Think about that. Butcherbox.com slash Tim, butcherbox.com slash Tim. Be sure to use our link so that they know that we sent you. And I'm very serious about this. This will change your whole life. When you see a steak in the fridge, there's no reason for you to do anything else. When you see a piece of salmon in that fridge, when you open up that fridge and you see a piece, because, you know, you might have been fired at your job and you don't have a job. And, you know, the girl that you're seeing texts you and goes, you know, I actually make my skin crawl. Make my skin crawl. You make me deeply uncomfortable the way you stare at me.

43:34And so that's not good. and you might feel like you ain't got nothing going. But then you go into that little kitchen and you open up that refrigerator and then you see a steak. Oh, the sizzle of a steak, huh? Sizzle of the steak. The sizzle of the steak. And then you eat that steak. You go to butcherbox.com slash Tim and you eat that steak. No one can fuck with you. You're a man eating a steak in the United States. No one can fuck with you. They fired you for bullshit at that job. That woman was interested in you. They fired you for bullshit. You're a man eating a steak in the United States of America.

44:28Okay? That email that you sent out was funny. That was funny. and in a society that hadn't gone mad, people would have understood that, that you made a funny joke in an email and it all got out of hand, but you've got a steak on a grill tonight. They can take your dignity. You understand that? Your ex-wife can tell those kids whatever she wants. It's not true. It's not true. You're their father. She can move them out of state. The judge said she could. She can move them out of state. She could put him in another school, but you're their daddy. And when you call them, they don't sound, you know, too excited.

45:13Hi, dad. How's school? Fine. What'd you do in school? Nothing. Talk to me. I'm your father. Talk to me. I'm your father. What? What's going on? Who's your mother dating? He's really nice His name's John Yeah? Is he nice, huh? Yeah, he took us for ice cream You shouldn't be eating ice cream You should be eating protein Like I am I got a steak on the grill Sizzle Sizzle that steak You want more protein You want so much protein that your doctor tells you to stop and you tell that cuck to shut his mouth. You shut your mouth, you cuck. Your doctor says your cholesterol is really high. You go, you probably like watching your wife get banged out.

46:22Butcherbox.com slash. Tim, you get a free filet mignon. You don't want that, though. That's a homo stick. you say, I want ribeye or a New York strip. You want a ribeye. Even a strip is kind of like bisexual. You want a ribeye because a ribeye has sex with women and men, but not in a gay way. You believe that the male physique is beautiful and that you can have sex with men, but not fall romantically in love with them. There's nothing gay about having sex with a man being the penetrative partner or even taking it because it does feel good. You do have a G spot in your anus. There's nothing gay, but it's Greek and it's beautiful.

47:10And as long as it's consensual and everyone's of age, you feel if, for example, if one of these Texas Longhorn type guys came off that stadium and railed you out, would it be gay or would it be a celebration of masculinity?

47:33Butcherbox.com slash Tim T-I-M

47:36Tim Dillon:Let them know we sent you, please. Thank you. What are people mad at Sydney Sweeney about? She's always getting into trouble. She took her tits out for sports and people are mad. Sweeney poses partially nude for her Novig ad while talking about sports. I guess people are mad that she's sexualizing female athletes because female athletes are supposed to not be hot or something or they're not supposed to traffic in their sexuality. Female athletes have reacted with anger and incredulity to a hyper-sexualized advertising campaign featuring a nude or minimally clad Sidney Sweeney posting. Most female athletes are probably flicking their bean to this.

48:24Tim Dillon:No? Aren't most really good female athletes imagining eating Sidney Sweeney's box? Am I lost? That would be like me going, I can't believe the water polo team chose this guy with a huge cock that's hanging out of his speedo. It's nice to look at. What are these female athletes upset about? What is Sidney Sweeney going to do? You want her to gain weight and be some fat rugby player? She's taking her tits out. And you should be happy about it. The campaign for U.S. sports prediction market Novig is very damaging for female athletes and young girls looking to get into sport. Australian surfer Felicity Palmiter told CNN, In a series of photos and videos, Sweeney can be seen naked or scantily clad holding American football as a tennis racket or a baseball bat.

49:22Tim Dillon:In one shot, she lies naked on top of a basketball. Novik also posted an ad on Instagram Reels, which had 37 million views in four days. Yeah, that's the point. Paul Meader was one of many female athletes to criticize the campaign. Just absolute, utter disbelief. Incredibly disappointing. Like, how far can you put women's sports backwards in the space of 42 seconds? No one thinks... By the way, we want to be valued for what we can do, not what we look like, Paul Meter added. No one is valuing female athletes for what they look like. Is that what this bitch thinks is happening? No one is valuing female athletes for what they look like.

50:05When I was a kid, I used to see Martina Navratilova,

50:09Tim Dillon:that big hulking dyke. I loved her. And because my grandfather lived next to a man who got his tickets to the US Open. And one time they let me sit in the CBS press box as a nine-year-old little status-obsessed faggot. And I was sitting there and I handed that hulking dyke a sweat towel. And Martina Navratilova was a force, a big Nazi dyke. And she would get out there and go... And then she would, you know, she'd have matches with that Monica Seles who we were supposed to care about because the fans stamped her. Shut up, it's part of the game. Nobody said, hey, Martina Navratilova's hot. I want to fuck her.

50:52Ooh, Steffi Groff. God, I want her. Female athletes are great, and we love them, and we respect them, and they're important, but no one thinks because Sydney Sweeney, a hot actress, put her tits with a football that everyone is sexualizing female athletes now. What a great... That's like Matt Reif posing with his shirt off and me being like, I want to be valued for what I do. Yeah, we are. Hey, by the way, hey, Tim, we are valuing you for what you do. I don't want to be sexualized. You're not. No one's sexualizing you. How insane is that? Sydney Sweeney's hot. It's part of her appeal. She's also a very good actress.

51:40But she's hot. that's part of why they do an ad with her and they know it gets controversy like when she did that guest ad right yeah it was guest and she's like it has good genes good genes and here's my tits

51:57Tim Dillon:and I like Hitler or whatever they know it gets they do things with her to get controversy they know it's going to get the views they know it's going to get the views you're playing into it I love all these female athletes being like I don't want to be sexualized I want to be valued for what I do yeah you're going to be valued British sprinter Amy Hunt also referenced the ad campaign in a post race interview on Sunday Sydney Sweeney this is what women in sports look like Hunt told BBC muscles, hard work, sweat, blood, tears can we see her? yeah You're a 5 '6". You're fine. You better run. She's not a bad-looking woman, but she's not Sydney Sweeney.

52:51What's the prompt? Women just get vicious with each other. Women have to relax, by the way. Hey, women, a message from me. Calm down.

53:00Tim Dillon:How about you relax a little bit? This woman's perfectly fine, but she ain't Sydney Sweeney. She's a 6 '7", whatever. the nose ain't great but the point is this yeah you're right Amy Hunt you're right that is what women are that are athletes sweat blood tears and muscle but Sydney Sweeney is an actress with huge tits and Sydney Sweeney should go this is what actresses look like in America blonde hair big tits. Let's listen to Amy, whatever her name is. Hey, Cindy, sweetie, this is what women is for. Like, 21-4. Muscles. Hard work. Yeah, what? It was so great. Great. Cindy, sweetie, she go, yeah, I'm an actress with huge tits.

53:52They paid me a lot of money to pose with a tennis racket. I'm sorry you're offended by this. these women, listen, women athletes are great and we support them. The Tim Dillon Show has done more for female athletes than probably any other podcast.

54:09Tim Dillon:Maybe those giggly squad girls, because Hannah used to play tennis. Perhaps they've done more for female athletes, but could you think of a show that has done more for female athletes than our show? I don't, can you? Can you think of a podcast that has elevated the cause of women in sport more than this program? No. And I am here to tell these dykes to relax. What are we doing here? By the way, Sidney Sweeney is going to be the hottest commodity for a corporate company now because you know that you can get a controversial ad with Sidney Sweeney for almost anything. You know what I mean? Like, you just put Sidney Sweeney's tits in something, and because she has blonde hair and she's, quote, whatever MAGA coded or whatever, people are just going to lose their minds, and it becomes this cultural firestorm, and I'm talking about it, and everybody's talking about it, and we shouldn't be.

55:09Tim Dillon:It's not news, but it becomes news because, yeah. So what did Sidney Sweeney say? She fired back at the trolls? Yeah, she posted on her Instagram story. I'm fine. Yeah, let's get her Instagram story up, by the way. Let's see what she said. I got big tits. So what? Man, if you're a company and you want attention, spend the money on Sydney Sweeney and her tits because it will be a cultural firestorm overnight for no reason. That's the new game. If you're in advertising, the new game is to do like a playful troll thing that, you know, like, put her at Auschwitz if I what's a company that needs if I was Lululemon I would put Sydney Sweeney doing yoga at Auschwitz with her tits out that would be my that would be my contribution hey Aloe Yoga put Sydney Sweeney in yoga pants and put her at Auschwitz okay and say, and here's what it should say.

56:26It should say something like, let him cook. And it's just Sydney Sweeney doing yoga and let me cook. Sydney Sweeney in aloe yoga pants doing yoga at Auschwitz. And we don't really know it's Auschwitz, but it's in the background. And she's sitting there and it's let me cook. because the young people say it means let me do my thing. Start your day with yoga. Start your day with a smoothie, a jog, a run. Sydney Sweeney, yoga pants, Auschwitz, let me cook. Yes or yes. Is that not a good ad? And then people are going to go, hey, this is crazy. They're going to go, she's doing yoga, and in the background, the faint background, it's Auschwitz and the ad campaign is called let me cook and they're gonna go that kind of seems like she's a Nazi at Auschwitz and she's referencing a genocide and Sidney Sweeney should come out on her Instagram and go I don't know what these bitches are talking about I love Germany and I love history Sidney Sweeney should come out lean into it

57:47Tim Dillon:it should get increasingly crazy and Sydney Sweeney should respond to that by going I love history and I'm honoring the memory and that's what Aloe Yoga came to me and we did this tastefully to honor the memory Sydney Sweeney fires back at criticism over nearly nude ad by sharing athlete photos of what? When she was an athlete? Oh no. Oh she shared hot athletes. Some of them are hot.

58:18she's leaning in if aloe yoga takes that

58:24Tim Dillon:i'm gonna be i want the fucking money if aloe yoga takes her let me cook in ashwit i want the money i want the money and then she could go on her instagram and go i'm not saying it didn't happen Obviously, I'm there. I'm there in yoga pants. I'm not saying it didn't happen. Well, that's just an idea. But if you take it, if Alo Yoga or Lululemon or any of these people takes that idea, I am going to be, we heavily encourage you to get life insurance, folks. I'm telling you right now, so many people I know don't have it and you got to be responsible. If you have a partner, if you have a family, my friend passed recently and didn't have life insurance and this was true and this is you know and his family's kind of dealing with that now and they reached out to me they go do you have any money i go hey you know i like the guy but enough and that's why you need ethos his wife called me she goes my you know you have money even my kids are we don't have money to feed the kids i go build character and i want and i and i and i don't think right now she goes anything if you could just help and give me literally anything right now.

59:41I am starving. My kids are crying on the floor. I said, this feels unfair to me, and it sets up an unhealthy dynamic. I said, I really liked your husband, but what I really liked about him was he was a can-do guy. But he got hit by a car, Tim. He was just randomly jogging, and I said, I always liked his commitment to fitness.

1:00:04Tim Dillon:And she goes, he was randomly hit by a car. I'm just asking you if you can give me any amount of money to feed my children tonight. She goes, I don't have money to feed them now. And I said, here's the thing. I don't want to go down this road because I think it's an unhealthy dynamic for us to have. And I said, I don't want you to feel indebted to me. And I don't want your kids. And she goes, they're starving and they're crying. You want to avoid this. And that's why you get ethos. Okay? I mean, it's so easy. It's so easy.

She kept texting me, my kids are starving, and I had the blocker. And it brought me no joy to do it. and I had to stop taking her calls because she would call and she would cry. Has anyone ever called you where they can barely get the words out?

1:01:13Tim Dillon:And I couldn't even, I would go, I can't even hear you. I can't even hear you. And then she would send me a photo of her kids sad. and she go please feed them and i had to block her i had to block her and now i'm suing her i'm suing her um so just take 10 minutes to get covered today with insurance for ethos get your free quote ethos.com slash jim e-t-h-o-s.com slash jim application times may vary rates may vary trust pilot rating as of august 1st 2026 saturday september 26th Two of combat sports' most dangerous strikers collide.

So he's saying AI is, yeah, this is kind of, they're hyping apocalypse panic to cover for slowing growth in the AI industry. He thinks maybe they've hit a ceiling. Anthropic has this IPO coming up and they're basically trying to terrify everybody and say, hey, we've built this thing. You don't even understand the ways in which it'll kill you. We just need more money. We need more money. And this AI bubble might be about to blow. On balance, economists concerned the AI bubble is about to blow.

1:04:31Tim Dillon:we need a lot of money. Can you get up some of the interview with Dario, whatever his name is, Modii and Anderson Cooper? I think you just did an interview with Anderson Cooper and there should be. something up there. Or, yeah, he's calling for an AI slowdown, this guy. He's like, hey, the AI people are getting richer than anyone in history has ever gotten in a shorter period of time. All of the people up in San Francisco, I mean, the demand for our homes and private schools and things like that is skyrocketing. The cost of everything is skyrocketing up there because this AI gold rush, people are making so much money so quickly from this.

1:05:19Tim Dillon:And you have to keep the party going. This makes the mortgage thing of the early to mid 2000s look like an anemic thing. I mean, this is a gold rush like we've never seen before. And all of these guys keep coming out and warning you how powerful this technology is that it could wipe everybody out. And they are printing money. This guy's worth like 15 billion. And no one knew who he was three years ago, really. Like these are guys that came on the radar, you know, pretty recently and have amassed really wild fortunes and incredibly, they're incredibly well-connected with the government. They believe they're the government.

1:06:00Tim Dillon:I've said it before, they really do. They think they are steering civilization. It's no longer about taxes. It's no longer about if we're spending too much or too little on education. It's no longer about foreign conflict. It's no longer about democracy or whatever. These guys believe, and some of them probably aren't wrong, they're steering civilization now, and that the government itself is at the very best behind the eight ball, at the very worst is infested with them and has been corrupted and co-opted. But take a look here. This is Wario, who is the CEO of Anthropic. I have a four-year-old and a six-year-old.

1:06:45And, you know, this last week, for the first time, I've really been scared about their futures because of this technology. And I think there's a lot of people out there right now who are feel despondent or certainly powerless in the face of this and see these tech companies and the money that everybody is making and and just feel powerless. What do you say to people who are scared? Yeah. So I would make two points. You know, one is this is why restraint is so important. And this is why I have advocated today for restraint. And again, I'm so encouraged to see how much does pause that for a minute.

1:07:27How much does restraint cost? I know you've advocated restraint. How much does restraint cost?

1:07:36Tim Dillon:I'm sure there's a price tag on restraint, by the way. You would think that restraint would be free. But I imagine not so much. Keep going. Echoed, you know, even even by competitors, by government officials. I'm so appreciative that people like Sam and Elon have offered agreement on this. It makes me think that we may truly be able to build this technology in the right way. That is point one. Here's what this is. Pause this. This is a bunch of guys who realize that it's getting too hot. Think of a bunch of drug dealers coming together and going, We've had a couple of bodies Literally at OpenAI That guy who everyone said killed himself Couple of bodies here People are getting, the neighborhood's getting hot We gotta come together Elon, Altman, this guy Wario We all have to come together And let's let things cool down Let's go out Let's say hey man We're worried about what we're doing We're worried about what we're building we're worried about this shit we gotta chill it out let's take the heat off of us let's take the heat off of us so what we're gonna do is go to the government ask them to regulate us which we know they cannot do because they just don't understand this enough to regulate it and we're gonna ask them for more money because we wanna develop this technology wink wink safely we don't want any accidents we don't want something going rogue so all of these guys are basically like we need to take the heat off of ourselves we need more money we need to calm people down we need to give the government the illusion of control we need to give people the illusion that we're chilling and we need to suck up all of this money and then we're going to basically continue to do what we were doing.

1:09:54We just need better PR.

1:09:57Tim Dillon:I think the AI people have realized that their PR was terrible. You have Elon running around on ketamine. Alex Gibney just did a doc about him. Amazon's now getting squeamish about releasing it because I'm sure Elon called Bezos. He's like, what the fuck are you doing? You don't think people can make documentaries about you? I believe it's Amazon. Make sure I'm right about that before I say something I'm wrong about. Amazon, I believe, acquired the rights to this. And, oh, Universal. Okay. So Universal is getting maybe cold feet on releasing the film. Glad I checked. Universal owned by Comcast is not yet committing to rolling out the Alex Gidney movie that it's paid millions to acquire for North American release before the political wind shifted.

1:10:47Tim Dillon:Now, by the way, maybe they will, but I'm sure there's some calls, Elon, some lawyers, whoever, when it screened at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, Musk got the kind of reception every international distributor dreams about. Attendees applauded enthusiastically for five minutes and saluted director. So let's take stock of what the AI guys have, right? Sam Altman goes, does a terrible interview with Tucker Carlson. Sam Altman, by the way, should do no interviews. Who's ever putting Sam Altman in an interview chair? Stop. Sam Altman is going out trying to do interviews. He was just embarrassed.

1:11:23Tim Dillon:He did some interaction with some guy on Grindr who's now writing a musical about interacting with Sam Altman on Grindr or something like that, doing a one-man show about it. Sam Altman goes out. Tucker Carlson does this kind of brilliant line of questioning about this guy that was found dead whose mother believes. Yeah, play this for two seconds. Just play a couple of seconds of this here. Who said you guys were basically stealing people's stuff and not paying them. And then he wound up murdered. What was that? Also a great tragedy. He committed suicide. Do you think he committed suicide? I really do.

1:11:59This was like a friend of mine. This was like a guy that, I'm not a close friend, but this was someone that worked at OpenAI for a very long time. I spent, I mean, I was really shaken by this tragedy. I spent a lot of time trying to, you know, read everything I could, as I'm sure you and others did too, about what happened. It looks like a suicide to me. Why does it look like a suicide? It was a gun he had purchased. It was the, this is like gruesome to talk about, but I read the whole medical record. Does it not look like one to you? No, he was definitely murdered, I think. There were signs of a struggle, of course.

1:12:35The surveillance camera, the wires had been cut. He had just ordered take out food, come back from a vacation with his friends on Catalina Island. No indication at all that he was suicidal. No note and no behavior. He had just spoken to a family member on the phone. And then he's found dead with blood in multiple rooms. So that's impossible. Seems really obvious he was murdered. Have you talked to the authorities about it? I have not talked to the authorities about it.

1:13:01Tim Dillon:Okay, so there you go. So opening your eyes basically catches a body. You got Sam Altman out there, the PR nightmare. Elon documentary coming out. Vice President Vance, who's more aligned with the Elon Teal wing, is taking shots at Anthropic, which is full of a bunch of ex-Biden employees going, hey, they bury their old models. It's a cult. They're all fucking weirdos. All that's probably true. But it's not because Vance is overly skeptical or whatever of AI. It's because Teal and Elon are his people and the Anthropic people are not whatever. So I'm sure Vance being Vance would sashay over there if he thought it would help.

1:13:37Tim Dillon:But here's the point. AI has had terrible, I mean, Zuckerberg goes and Theo Vaughn is like, what's coffee or whatever. None of these people in public appear to be remotely human, okay? They don't appear to be remotely human. They have a PR problem, like hugely. So I think all of them got together and they were kind of like, you know, informally like, We got to like, you know, shift the public consciousness on this because like everyone hates us. We're literal, you know, like creeps. We come across like creeps and we're going to have more power than anyone on earth has ever had. So how do we ease people into this?

1:14:28How do we ease people into it?

1:14:31Tim Dillon:we're creeps. We come across as creeps. We share no values with the American public. We don't believe in democracy. We think the government is, you know, again, at best, an obstacle to what we want to do. At worst, it's just completely inefficient, bloated corpse that we just have to kind of navigate around. And how do we do that? Well, we're going to launch this new PR strategy that, by the way, we are concerned too. We're also really concerned. We share your concerns and we're asking the government to come in and regulate us and we want to slow it down. We want to slow it down. And that's the PR strategy of AI.

1:15:15Tim Dillon:The next thing they'll do is put Sidney Sweeney in an ad. The next thing you're going to see is Sidney Sweeney with her big tits straddling a Tesla humanoid robot or Sidney Sweeney with fucking some AI burying an AI anthropic model and and uh in the dirt with a cloak on or whatever because the next thing they're gonna do if this fails if this PR push fails I'm telling you right now then the only thing they'll have left is Sidney Sweeney and she'll end up saving that whole sector and then saving our economy. Good night, everyone. Saturday, September 26th, two of combat sports' most dangerous strikers collide.
