498 - Backrooms, Spencer Pratt, & The D’Amelio Family Disaster
69m 26s
Tim Dillon critiques the narrative that low-budget, successful films like *Back Rooms* and *Obsession* signal a new era in Hollywood, calling such claims exaggerated and misleading. He argues these successes are rare anomalies, not a replicable trend, and warns against readers misinterpreting them as proof that anyone can succeed in filmmaking. He emphasizes that societal and political changes—such as shifts in policing, immigration policies, or celebrity culture—are not occurring as widely as people believe. The UK’s handling of a hate crime involving a young white boy stabbed by a Sikh, and the subsequent police missteps and systemic biases, illustrate deep-rooted issues in law enforcement and social equity. Dillon also explores the phenomenon of TikTok fame, pointing out that parents of successful children often feel resentment and steal their earnings, a behavior he ties to a long-standing American tradition of living vicariously through offspring. He critiques the idea that these stories represent progress, noting they are often rooted in desperation, misinformation, or cultural delusion. Ultimately, his message is one of realism: nothing substantial is changing in society. What appears to be transformation is merely a mirage—like water in the desert—designed to give false hope. From political campaigns to policing and celebrity culture, the world remains largely stagnant, with only surface-level changes and deep-seated systemic flaws persisting.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show.
I directed Back Rooms.
That kid's a fraud.
That kid's full of shit.
He's a fraud.
I directed that movie.
It was my fucking idea.
And that money's mine, and we're coming for your throat.
That is my fucking money.
A hundred million dollars in an opening weekend?
Back Rooms?
Someone got lost in a store?
That's my money!
I directed that.
What did they bring in opening weekend?
Back Rooms.
118 million globally.
118 million globally of my money stolen from me by the Hollywood system.
By a child.
And that other guy, Curry Barker, Obsession.
I directed that.
I also directed Obsession.
How much did that bring in opening weekend?
This is how Hollywood is going to repair itself, by the way.
We're going to have young people with inspiring stories.
But, so first weekend was 17 million.
Second weekend, 23 million.
Third weekend, 26 million.
Global growth surpassed 166 million worldwide.
And it had a tiny budget of roughly 750,000 to 1 million.
Now, these are undeniably Hollywood success stories.
And many of you are out there going,
and does that mean I'm going?
Does that mean I'm going to have a similar experience?
No!
Do not read too much into this.
This is not the beginning of a trend.
This is not the beginning of a wave in which you will catch.
This is not that.
These are lovable flukes.
They're flukes.
That's what it means.
And there's nothing, they're good movies,
and they're talented people.
But it does not apply to you.
It does not apply to you eating cat food
in your living room.
In your living room on the floor.
Well, I just, well, I bet I'll make 100 million.
Shut up!
You're not, this doesn't affect,
do you know how many losers I have had tell me
that they feel inspired by this?
I hate that.
I hate that.
They should do the reverse.
It should make you feel
that it is less impossible now than ever
because they've already done it.
But people,
people need hope
and I get it
and I understand that
and I don't begrudge anyone that.
I'm just saying,
I am getting calls from,
I mean, zeros.
It's unbelievable.
The people that have my number somehow,
somehow, someway,
have ways to contact me
telling me,
well, Hollywood be damned.
These young fucks made a lot of money.
And now, by the way,
you would think,
are these young people, Tim, calling you?
Are they young people?
No.
Are they filmmakers even?
Absolutely not.
These are,
these are people in their middle age
who are out of their minds.
Many of them are on drugs
and they're calling me
and they're going,
it all seems possible now.
Finally,
a movie did well at the box office,
a horror movie,
and it was made for a low budget.
So I am going to replicate that.
You will not,
you are not going to do that.
And by the way,
if you do, great, great.
An egg on my face,
but you will not be able to do that.
So I just put these things in their perspective.
Can anyone put anything in perspective?
Can anyone just be happy for these gentlemen
and put it in perspective?
It does not mean that there is going to be
a whirlwind of successful projects
that will now involve
you.
It is quite rare
that a movie at that budget
makes that amount of money.
Well, you know,
I can prove it's rare
because it's such a big fucking story.
Like everyone's like,
Spencer Pratt's going to be the new Trump
and then there's going to be all these people.
It's not going to happen.
Nothing is changing.
Here is the message for today.
And it is a message actually of hope.
Nothing is changing.
Nothing is happening.
The idea that things are happening
is a mirage.
It is not water in the desert.
It is more desert.
It looks like water.
And if you feel like it's good,
ooh, look, I have water now.
We're going to get, honey,
tell the donkey to just trudge on
a little while longer.
There's water over there.
There is not.
There is not.
Karen Bass is winning again in LA,
whether you like it or not.
I'm not commenting on whether you like it or not.
I don't care what you think about it.
It's going to happen.
Nithya Raman will probably surpass him
when the mail-in votes come in.
They're all going to come in.
She's already gaining on him.
She's at 23.4.
He's at 29.4.
Bass is at 35.
Listen, if things stay where they are,
he had a second place finish.
It's a little impressive.
But Karen Bass will get almost all,
if not all,
of Nithya Raman's votes
and will breeze,
into the election.
Spencer Pratt is excited
because he can spend the next five months
shooting his reality show.
Does it mean that I hate Spencer Pratt
or that all of his ideas are bad or whatever?
Here's what it simply means.
Don't think it is.
There's no shake-up.
It's not happening.
So you're reading too much into things.
Now, all of these people that I talked to,
the main people,
the main problem I have
with a lot of what they're saying
is because everyone's so desperate and hopeless now,
everybody is reading so much
into every single thing that happens.
And they're like,
well,
this is a groundbreaking Hollywood taking notice.
What does that even mean?
What does it mean?
Hollywood's finally taking notice of. You can make it happen.
You can make an independent movie and they may buy it.
But by the way, that was true 10 years ago.
It's true now.
And unless we're all in a cyber prison in 20 years or 10 years,
it'll be true then.
It's always been true.
The Blair Witch Project.
I was talking to Ray about that.
Like, these things can happen.
Now, will they be more frequent or will. I don't know.
I don't know.
Is Spencer Pratt gonna grab the reins
in the most liberal state in the country and win?
No, no, no.
It was never going to happen.
How freeing and how beautiful that is.
You can choose to make something different for dinner.
You can make your choice to do what you want to do.
But I'm telling you right now,
stop looking for these grand narratives
with things like this.
Here's what Spencer Pratt should do.
Spencer Pratt has claimed that if he,
if he loses this election,
he is going to leave Los Angeles, California.
This is his big quote.
He's like,
if I lose this election,
I'm leaving Los Angeles.
He's threatening to leave.
Now, we know that Spencer Pratt,
reality star,
prominently featured on the show The Hills many years ago,
has mounted a pretty successful campaign
for mayor of Los Angeles
using pretty adept social media skills.
He's pretty funny.
He's affable.
And large parts of L.A. are an unlivable hellscape.
And he's pointed that out.
He's pointing it out.
And people are going,
they're happy with that.
And he's going to save L.A.
And here's the thing about L.A.
It's the same.
I was just in London.
I'll talk about that in a minute, briefly.
But you don't need to save L.A.
You don't need to save London.
None of it's going to be saved.
There are large swaths of it that are actually great.
They're fine.
And the ones that aren't
are only going to get worse.
You know, I know that that's not a,
this is why I don't run for anything.
This is why I'm not, like, on the stump.
Obviously, I don't want to be a politician,
but, like, they have to get up and go,
no, no, no, no, no.
It's just a matter of one or two things.
We fix that.
Well, then, it's all gravy.
We fix that and everything's coming up.
No, no, no.
Skid Row's been Skid Row for a long fucking time.
It's gotten worse?
Sure.
Is it going to get better in L.A.?
Probably not.
Maybe marginally better for the Olympics.
But you've got to create a life in L.A.
that you can insulate yourself.
And by the way, that's all over the world.
That's in Texas.
That's in any of these red states
that claim that they don't have these problems.
Certainly in the blue states, they've gone insane.
And if Democrats were smart, they'd go,
why is our ideology moving people
in the direction of Spencer Pratt?
That would be a thought.
That they should have.
Obviously, Seattle and Portland, L.A. and San Francisco
have gone insane.
But San Francisco's getting better right now.
Well, why is it getting better?
Well, all the A.I. companies are moving in.
So that's not great.
But that's why San Francisco's getting better.
Things don't always get better
in the way that you would want them to get better.
You go, oh, San Francisco.
Wow, I went the other day.
I had dinner with my wife.
And, you know, it used to be a homeless guy,
you know, like, you know, sitting on our car.
But that's gone.
Why?
Why?
Well,
A bunch of people have moved there to try to figure out how to
data centers to replace you and your family. And they want clean streets. So, oh, that's
why it's better? Yeah, it's the eye of Saran now. That's why it's better. There was no
crime in Mordor. Everybody was on the same page. So things don't always get better in
the way that you would want them to get better. For example, London recently just got rid
of this non-dom rule, this non-domicile rule, which means for many, many years you could
live in London as a predominantly full-time resident. But if you made your money in like
Kazakhstan and natural gas or whatever, you didn't have to pay UK taxes on that. So it
was kind of a fun scam. You'd come from another country, you'd have businesses in that country,
and some of those countries didn't.
You didn't have high tax burdens. And you could live in the UK and enjoy the benefits
of London and put your kids in a private school and go to Harrods, the big department store,
and go to the restaurants and have your little dictator children drive their Ferraris around
fucking Kensington and live that life and put them in little prep schools and have them
be English gentlemen. And they'll have their little British accents. Father, father, why
are you wanted at the Hague? Father, all of these things. And then London recently, the
UK just said, we're getting rid of non-dom. We're getting rid of that. You can no longer
live here. Yeah. The UK non-dom, non-domicile tax regime was officially abolished and replaced
with a new residence-based system. High net worth individuals living in London no longer
avoid UK taxes on worldwide income. Okay. Here's what's happening. People are leaving.
They're leaving. They're leaving. I'm just telling you what's happening. You can't,
run a scam for fucking years and then turn around to a bunch of people and go, hey, that
scam we were running, we're not doing that anymore. But you still like the food, right?
Don't you want to stay here for our fish pudding? No. Out. They leave. They go to Dubai and
they go to wherever they go. And it doesn't even matter. A lot of them leave. Some of
them stay. But a lot of those people who lived there primarily because it was a scam and
then it had things they liked. But the reason they liked those things so much is because
they didn't have to pay for them. They didn't have to pay for them. Now, we know that, by
the way, and I've talked endlessly on this show about what a dysfunctional way to run
a society this is. We know that. But we've done it for a long time. And when you make
an abrupt change like that, it does have an effect. So when all of these AI companies
converge on San Francisco to do things that all of us might not like, the actual metropolis
of San Francisco starts looking a lot better. People start pumping money into it. People
care about it. It's not in that quote unquote doom loop that it was in. But why? Is it because
we're paying teachers more or firefighters or nurses or like, is it because people can afford?
It's increasingly becoming unaffordable. So basically, you have an influx of AI money
cleaning up this city. But it is getting cleaned up, but it's not the way that you
would want. So Spencer Pratt has said, I'm going to leave Los Angeles if I lose. If I
lose the mayoral race, I'm out. And here's what Spencer Pratt should do if he had balls.
Spencer Pratt got into the race because his house burned down, his mother's house burned
down, his entire block in the Palisades burned down. Spencer Pratt, if you are listening to
this show, and I don't know if you are, if you lose and you will, statistically, there
is no way you can win. Looking at the numbers, if you lose this election, you should not
leave LA. You should burn it the fuck down. Literally. Burn it the fuck down. Burn the
house down. And Spencer Pratt should dedicate the rest of his life to going around LA at
night like a psychopath with a gas can, burning down the homes of the people that weren't
affected. Let them smell the smoke, Spencer. Let them breathe in the ash. Burn their fucking
houses down. Get up, trash can man from the stand. Trash can man from the stand. Stephen
King's miniseries, The Stand, there was a character called Trash Can Man. Spencer Pratt,
if you are listening to this program, God, I hope you are. You must spend the rest of
your life engaging in what they would call eco-terrorism. Eco-terrorism, meaning terrorism
environmental. You got to go out and start burning the fuck. You got to burn it down.
In the middle of the night, you're in a van. You get a couple of homeless people. You get
a couple of assorted psychopaths, and you go out on nightly raids.
You go out on nightly raids, and you burn. You burn this shit down. If Spencer Pratt was
the man, this is Spencer Pratt if he's the man.
If Spencer Pratt has it in him, when he loses, he immediately looks like this, and he becomes
Trash Can Man.
From the stand. Here he goes. This is how he goes into his campaign rally. When he declares
when he has to concede, this is what it looks like when he concedes. That's right. Burn
it down, baby. Rediscover your love. Fire has brought Spencer Pratt. Okay, get rid of
it. We get it. Spencer Pratt. Fire has brought him back into relevance. Now, Spencer Pratt
likes relevance. Now, it did it in a painful way. It took his home. It took his home. It
took his home, but it's also filled him. There's more life in that man than I've seen
in years, and I know that because he hasn't been on television in years. He's back, baby,
in a big way. Now, you must use fire, and it has to work for you. Start going on nightly
raids. As soon as you lose this election, here's the thing. The glamour's over. You're
not going to be the mayor. Fuck a reality show. Anybody is going to watch that shit.
You need to move into the final phase of your life because here's the thing. You will be
killed, or you will be imprisoned at the end of it.
At the end of this. Your body will be riddled in a hail of bullets at the end of this because
eventually the cops are going to pull up, and they're going to go, yeah, we thought
it was Spencer Pratt, and you're going to have a gas can, and there's going to be a
mansion on fire, and you'll be laughing like the Joker. You'll be running down the street,
and you'll point at the cops. You go, you see this? You see what you made me do? That's
his catchphrase. You see what you made me do, and you burn down large things. You burn
down large things, too. Obviously, homes, but very big homes and palatial homes, but
also commercial buildings and strip malls. Try to burn, and some of this will have to
use explosives. Sorry. Sorry. And people, a few of them will die. You don't want to
kill a lot of people, but there'll be a night guard or whatever, and he'll have to get it.
But the point is this. You must, if you are Spencer Pratt and you lose the L.A. mayoral
election, go on nightly raids and begin to plant explosives in L.A. buildings. You must
build L.A. buildings, both residential and commercial. Light buildings on fire. You're
going to have to kill people. Not a lot of them, but a few of them will be collateral
damage. Sadly, an onlooker or something, you can't control the blaze, and then you're going
to need to tag all. There's going to be a massive FBI manhunt. There's going to be a
massive FBI manhunt for you. People are going to be very upset, and you can't get caught
for a while. You have to do these things pretty shrewdly so that it builds the mystique. It's
like Banksy, that artist who never said who he was, but instead of making these dumb art
things, he just burned down stuff. And you should tag all of the things you burn, and
you should try to burn down as much as you can of Los Angeles before you are arrested
or killed. You'll probably be killed. And you want to die. You want to die. I know you
have kids and a wife. I get it. It's sad. You've chosen your path. I know it. You are right now to
become an eco-terrorist on a level that we've never seen. I'm giving you instructions. I hope
you take them. I can't. I'm telling you. I'm telling you what you must do. These ballots
might be not so smart. The ballot, whatever they're doing, the harvesting, whatever. She's
getting all these mail-in ballots. Fine. Here's what I'm saying, bub. I don't know that everything's
on the up and up here. I don't know about that. So if I were you, I would grab a gas can and run
through the city.
Like a bat out of hell, and you should burn it all down. Start as many fires as you can
in the 72 hours that you, right after you lose. And have an effect. Have an effect.
Go out, and it would be like Batman if you still appeared on talk shows for a little
while during the day, but started the fires at night, and then you could still have it
be your big issue.
I don't know.
You could be like, you see these fucking fires? Man, if I was in there. And then maybe there's
a recall election.
And Karen's out before they even catch you.
And you do become the mayor.
But Mr. Pratt, you will only be the mayor if you use the time after you lose.
Or now, before you even, if you're denied the opportunity of a runoff or whatever.
Mr. Pratt, listen up.
Serious advice, please.
Listen up.
Spencer Pratt, friend of the show.
You must burn it down.
Literally.
Not figuratively.
Sure, these campaign ads are cute.
But you know what's really effective?
Starting fires.
All over the city.
Like, where the firemen can't even keep up with them.
That's the advice.
Spencer Pratt, that's the advice.
England, which I was just in, is admittedly a little bit cleaner than New York.
New York, when you land at Newark, seems like a third world slum.
Even though New York is obviously not terrible.
It's my city of, you know, that I love.
And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But it was lovely being in London.
They are having a little bit of their 2020 moment now.
Meaning, like, they're having issues with migration.
They're having issues with speech.
They're having a lot of protests.
There's dueling protests.
The Tommy Robinson guy, he's like more of a, you know, restore British sovereignty thing.
Anti-immigration.
Then you have people on the other side of that that are like, stop the support of Israel.
And they also are like, hey, more immigration.
So, you have definitely a situation there that could get, it's a little combustible.
And this sad thing happened where this kid, Henry Nowak, who was this kid in Southampton, the UK, was stabbed.
He's a young kid, young guy, young man, 18, 19.
He gets stabbed by a Sikh.
And these are usually very peaceful people, the Sikhs.
And the Sikhs have a ceremonial knife.
And the Sikh has a ceremonial knife and he stabs Henry Nowak.
And the cops show up and the Sikh goes, hey, I was a victim of a hate crime.
And Henry Nowak goes, hey, I was stabbed.
And the cops and the Sikh goes, he's lying.
And like the other cop, one of the women goes, yeah, we know he's lying.
We got to check anyway.
Well, it turns out they cuffed Henry Nowak, the kid who was stabbed, the white kid who was stabbed.
And he bleeds out.
And he then dies in handcuffs.
And he says, I can't breathe.
That thing that George Floyd.
That's what George Floyd said.
And so now there is a huge kerfuffle, brouhaha, in the United Kingdom.
And it's all over this.
It's all over the idea that the police are showing preferential treatment to migrants or non-white people.
Perhaps this is the idea.
Certain edicts have come out, like things, directives from the cops saying that we have to, you know,
this idea of.
There is a quote in the directive saying we're not going to treat everyone equally, you know,
which basically means like we realize there's been inequity in how we've dealt with different
groups of people.
And we're going to correct that now.
And so what that has led to is if this young white kid goes, hey, I got stabbed.
And this Sikh was like, hey, he didn't.
Or the Sikh goes, he's lying.
And I was the victim of a hate crime because of these.
Directives that require cops to take all this other stuff into account.
They're not just appraising the scene.
They're going, well, let's look at the historical content.
And these are cops.
He's not bright people.
No offense to cops, but they're not the brightest people.
That doesn't mean they're the dumbest people, but police are not the brightest people.
So you're asking a cop.
Who's like a cop.
And I'm not saying like I'm not denigrating them.
I believe we need them.
I believe we should pay them.
But a cop really should just respond to the facts on the ground.
And some of them can't even do that.
So now we're asking them to take like all of these other considerations into account
about like what is the historical trauma that might be playing out here and on what scale.
And how can I use my position as a cop?
This.
We are this.
You know, they dress insane in Britain.
These little hats.
They walk around with a club a lot.
They don't even have guns.
And they're like, how can I use my my position here to to make sure that I'm honoring the
directives from the home office telling me that I need to be equitable in all my actions.
Official guidance documents from bodies like the College of Policing and the National Police
Chiefs Council state that equality and fairness.
Fairness.
Are sometimes achieved through equity rather than by treating everyone the same.
They don't.
The cop doesn't even know what that means.
A cop does not even know what that means.
By the way, I don't even I don't even agree with that.
But I know what it means.
I'm a genius.
I'm a podcaster.
But these cops, a lot of them are idiots.
They have clubs.
They just walk around.
They just club.
You know what?
The job of a British cop is you see an Irish guy in the street and you hit him.
You hit him to get him back into his little slum.
Get in your slum, you dumb Mick.
That's what my whole family dealt with for years.
Some drunk from my family would just start going out in the street and yelling and screaming.
And these British to some constable would hop out of the car dressed like Paddington
the bear and start whacking him with a club and they would gang up on him and hit him
with a club.
Now you're asking these people who like live in a pretend reality over there like and it's
not to say that like it's just a different thing over there.
They've got I'm the baron.
It's the fairness of shut up.
It's fake.
It's fine.
But like, you know, my husband is 200th in line to the throne.
He's the Earl of whatever.
Now we're asking these people to understand what that even means.
Fairness is sometimes achieved through equity rather than they don't know what equity mean.
They don't know what any of it means.
Anti-racism framework such as the police race action plan, which instruct officers to consider
the distinct historical and demographic context of different communities of suspects.
Oh my God.
What?
Hit the Irishman with a stick.
That was their job for 200 years.
Hit the Irish drunk with a stick, back him down and then put him back in his slum.
Now we want them to consider the historical and demographic context of different communities
and suspects rather than utilizing an entirely colorblind approach.
So these cops show up on the day.
They got a Sikh and a white kid bleeding out.
The Sikh goes, this white kid's being a racist.
Now they can't doubt that.
They have to agree with the Sikh.
All right, let's watch this.
It is depressing because what is this?
The kid's dying, right?
This is sad.
Yeah, this is the body cam footage.
All right, this is body cam footage.
So we are going to watch this, but don't put an ad right after this because someone will
get pissed.
It's very hard to watch somebody bleed out and then try to sell fucking, you know, Bluetooth
or whatever the fuck we're selling on this goddamn.
Put it on.
RIP to everyone, by the way.
This is the body cam footage of this.
Here we are.
What's your name, mate?
Has anyone been hurt other than him?
See, stop it for a minute.
Can you tell how dumb the cops are already?
The cops are drunk.
The cops are scamping.
Do you know how dumb?
Can you imagine?
But the guy that you just heard in this video, can you imagine asking him, is he considering
the framework, the historical framework of what happened?
What historical framework?
Someone got knifed.
It happens every day.
It's not about the historical framework, but think about that.
As you listen to this call, anybody hurt other than him?
What's going on?
What's going on over there, love?
Hey, bruv, what'd you do?
You go a little, you go a little, go a little excited with the blind?
I think I slip into Australian.
You know, when I do a British like that, I do slip into an Australian accent, which
now people are going to say, are you breaking up this death video to do bits?
Here's the thing, folks.
The kid's already dead.
Did I stab him?
No.
A Sikh dead with a ceremonial life.
But my thing is this.
Think of how dumb these cops are.
I mean, they're real retards over there, the cops.
They're dumb.
They're dumb here.
They're dumb in most places.
Not all cops.
By the way, there's cops that listen to this show.
You are brilliant.
You're the smartest people in the world.
I'm not talking to you.
If you listen to this show and you buy the products and the ads and you like and subscribe
and tell your friends about the show and you help the show move up the charts, I am obviously
not speaking about you.
But the people you hate.
The people you hate at work, those idiots who don't listen to me, who listen to other
people, it's them.
They're the fucking problem.
And we both know that.
But we're asking these lughead, empty head cops in the UK, whose entire job for 200 years
was just beating drunks in the street with a club.
That's what they would do.
That's their whole job.
There was a, they had a row at a pub.
Like someone has a row at a pub.
Somebody gets thrown.
to a window, and then they come
in and they start hitting that guy with the club
and then they bring him to the
jail. Now we're asking
them to, well, can you assess
the cultural ramifications
of the, what? What are you
talking about?
Okay, let's play the rest of this, please,
here. Let's treat this sensitively,
folks.
Are you injured?
All right, just step back a little bit
for me. Someone flag these down.
All right, let's get you out of there, shall we?
By the way, I'm
going to use this the next time I'm in the UK
and somebody's like, Mr. Dillon, did you smoke
a cigarette in the room? I'm going to go, someone took my
turban! Why don't you focus on
that? Focus
on someone who just stole my turban!
Grab his other arm.
What's happened?
Yeah, right?
You've been stabbed. Whereabouts?
I don't think you have, mate.
I don't think you have. See?
So immediately, the
cops, who
are, which is a hilarious
thing to lie about, being stabbed.
There is just something, for now, I guess, drunk
people lie about everything, but there is just something funny
about, like, going, like, I've been stabbed
and then they, like, lift up your shirt and you're not stabbed
and you just shrug and you're like,
gotcha.
So this guy goes, I've been stabbed.
And they go, I don't think you have.
So their initial reaction is to go, I don't think you've been
stabbed, mate. Mate.
I don't think you've been stabbed.
I wish this was all, uh, with
the, with the, the northern
accents. I love the northern accents, where
they're like,
that's like that
SD kid from Liverpool. I like
the Scouse accent.
You ever see that show
Adolescence? They're like, Jamie, why you,
that's a fun show, that Adolescence.
It's about this kid who's inspired
by Andrew Tate to carve a bitch
up in a, in a
parking lot. Now, I, it was
a little heavy, but what, the acting's phenomenal.
Now, it's a little heavy-handed on the messaging.
Like, it's a little, like, there's a part
in it where, like, they're like,
why did you stab this girl? And, like, the kid's like,
well, I was listening to Joe Rogan.
I was listening to Joe Rogan.
And I'll go,
I'll go down a rabbit hole
and I'll found out in two times.
And then from Andrew Tate,
it's like, it's a little heavy-handed
with the messaging there.
But it's phenomenal acting
and it's great acting, but I do like that
northern accent, so I
would prefer this
death video to be in that sort of dialect.
But
let's see a little
bit more of it. I don't want to be ghoulish and
keep watching it, but, so this is what people are
upset about over there, because this kid goes, hey, I've been
stabbed, and the cop goes, no, you haven't.
Because the cop looks at him, he's,
he's a white kid, the cop's like, you're, you're probably
fibbing, I have to believe
this Sikh.
Go on.
Put the hand in the cuff, mate.
Yeah, so, I mean, alright,
let's, this is ghoulish, get out of here. We don't want to
watch this, but, so they're cuffing this
dead kid on the ground.
So now, obviously, the two reactions to this
are, let's attack random brown people.
Obviously, wrong, wrong,
bad, not good. We don't want to start doing
that. Um, that's
terrible, that's anti-civilization,
that's violence, that's
insane, that's, whatever, we all know
this. And then the other response
to it is, uh, from, like, the
polite society people,
is to ignore it completely and to go, it actually
doesn't mean anything. There's no meaning to be found
in this one. Uh, there's meaning
to be found in every other thing, but not
this one. Like, so
you go in London, and people are very terrified,
of offending anyone, not everyone,
but a lot of people. Like, I asked a comic to
open for me, I did a couple of shows there,
sweet kid, nice kid. Um, but
he was like, oh, oh, oh,
and he was like, well, one night
I have a funeral, and the next
night I have a show. And so,
but, but again, because here's the deal, these
people, they all, there's no real internet stuff going on
over there. You work for the BBC,
if the BBC calls you a racist, you starve
in the street, and you die.
Um, people there, they're ten years behind us.
They, they read tabloids in the supermarket, they,
they watch what's on the tube,
they watch BBC, what's on the
telly, they like, they,
they like rules, they like
regular, and I'm not saying that we're great, by the way,
every week I say we're not great.
But I will say that what they are
used to over there is much
more of a top
down, paramilitary type
of like, overt
system of
customs, laws, rules, some of those
things are nice, some of them are quaint,
some of them are, uh, seem a little
silly, in
2026, but all
of them inspire a sense of compliance
a little bit in the public.
Um,
and those people tend to be a little afraid,
like they're stunned in America that we can kind of say
what we want, wherever we want,
and that we get paid to do it.
That is not the way that happens
over there. Now, it doesn't mean that you, you have brilliant
comedians there, Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr, and a lot of
people, and I'm not saying people are getting arrested
for making an off-color joke,
but what I am saying is there is much more social,
social pressure in that system
currently to have the quote-unquote
right opinion
than there is in the United States
because we had that 2020
moment six years ago, they're having
it now. Not directly attributable to
this case, I just mean like
the dam is breaking. People are
a little sick of not
being able to discuss things that are actually
happening around them,
and they feel that they are being
stymied by a system
of customs and
you know,
you know, requirements
that none of them signed up for.
And the way that they have to conduct
these conversations in polite society,
they feel like they have been
limited and they're getting sick of that.
So they are basically,
the dam is breaking because that's the thing.
When you try to shut people up,
it will work
for a period of time. And then
you have to start killing them.
You actually have to start killing people because
people's mouths are so big.
And it's what most people do.
Most people just talk. Some people
fight. Some people like
you know, are like
go rowing. Some people
jog up a hill.
Some people use drugs.
But most
people, the predominant thing they
do in their life is talk.
That is what they do.
That's the muscle that gets used
the most.
That's what people do. So when you shut that
off or guilt people into doing any
certain way or try to control
it, it will never work
forever. Then you have to move in and
kill them. You have to do two things with the mouth.
Buy them or kill them.
You have to buy them off or kill them.
So that's basically
where Britain is right now. I loved
my time in London. I was there 21 days. We missed
last week.
I appreciate it. I like
it there.
It's an important place. A lot of my friends,
I went to France for a few days. I love that. Italy, south of France
are more beautiful. Food's better.
Whatever. They're not interesting and they don't
matter. South of France
and Italy are just not interesting and they don't matter. London's
interesting. It's one of the oldest societies in
the world. One of the other ones, Beirut,
is getting destroyed
right now by Israel.
A country whose commitment to peace
is, I got to be honest, a little questionable.
But
Britain is one of the
oldest civilized societies in the
world. There's many others. I'm not
saying that because they're white. No, it's just one of the
oldest and they've been around a long time.
London's an amazing city. It's cosmopolitan.
It's global. But the tension
points of that culture and the
benefits of it, the things where
they do things a lot better than we do,
are interesting to see in the things where they don't
do things as well as
I think we do. Those are interesting
things for me to observe and to think about. And I talked
to a lot of people there that do,
that are starting to
admit,
and I saw Pierce, of course. We had a lot
of fun on his show, Pierce Morgan, but
I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying that's a good thing.
They are admitting that there's some issues
there.
And I don't know. I mean, this guy got
sentenced. This Digwa guy who stabbed
that kid in RIP. That kid's parents came out and
said, we don't want this to be the cause
of riots. We don't want, you know, but
whatever. I mean, in
the sense that, like, it's, I don't know that
that matters, you know. It doesn't matter.
There's always, the person who's
usually, when somebody dies, the person comes
out and goes, let's not, guys, let's not.
You know?
He wouldn't have wanted this.
And people just don't
care. That's not why they're doing it.
They're not rioting to honor him.
They're rioting to riot.
That's why people riot. But
so they do have some issues there.
One of the stories I
read over there, because I do remember
in, speaking of 2020, I do remember
living in LA and the TikTokers were running
the city. All the older celebrities
were scared of
getting bad press for going out. And the young
TikTokers didn't care. They were like 16.
They would, you'd be at a restaurant and you'd see, like,
these mobs of children. You didn't
know who they were, but they were all millionaires
and some waitress would have to explain to them what
Brene's sauce was. And it was terribly embarrassing
because all those waiters and
waitresses had moved to LA to be actors.
And, of course, because of the pandemic,
they, you know, they couldn't get any work.
And then the only people that were making any money
were these kids doing these dances on TikTok.
Now this seems like
ancient history, and it
is.
But the biggest of all of these people,
It was Charlie Demetrius.
and her sister Dixie D'Amelio.
They were the two biggest TikTokers of their generation.
There were several others, Addison Rae, whatever,
but the D'Amelios symbolized the meteoric rise
you could have on TikTok.
Now, and we've talked about them before
on the show a few times,
their parents recently have been accused
of stealing their money,
stealing Charli D'Amelio,
who's the younger of the two sisters
and was the more successful one.
I did not steal from my daughter, Charli D'Amelio's dad.
Well, here's what I say to that, you cuck.
You should have.
You should have.
The D'Amelio, and yes, of course,
he's probably stole from his daughter, allegedly.
Let's read a little bit.
Charli D'Amelio's dad is fighting back
against claims millions of dollars were stolen
from her account while under the watch of him and his wife.
Report originally came from Dumont,
alleged a TikTok superstar became aware of the missing cash
after her parents, Mark and Heidi,
were supposed to have been removed from her account.
The gossip account also posted
that the issue caused a rift in the family
with Charli's sister, Dixie, siding with their parents.
Mark D'Amelio said,
no one called me for an interview.
This is not true.
We love Charli, but she's being manipulated
and I have the receipts.
Over the last six years,
we have remained silent and never addressed gossip,
but the time has come to set the record straight.
She's always had a team in place.
Lawyers, a business manager, an agent.
We purposely set it up that way.
Not sure if you know anything about our family,
but we were doing fine before TikTok.
Here's the deal.
Here's the deal, folks.
Here's the deal.
This is what it is.
When your children are famous,
when your children get famous,
you have every right,
listen to me out there,
you have every right to steal their money.
It is a time-honored tradition.
It is the reason that your children are famous.
It's so that you can steal their money.
Your children are not,
first of all, that lady, Ms. D'Amelio,
was not famous for any real reason.
She was famous because a Chinese guy
flipped the switch
and she looked like the girl next door.
And this is all kind of well-known now
about what TikTok was and kind of is.
You created these things called icons
in the beginning of TikTok
to get people onto the site.
And they chose people that had certain looks.
And Charli D'Amelio was a girl next door
and she was a dancer
and it was a dancing app
and she got famous.
And was she a hard worker?
Sure, maybe.
Is she a lovely person?
Maybe she is.
I don't know.
I don't know.
But I'm telling you right now,
her parents were well within their rights
to steal her money
because she was famous for nothing.
Easy come, easy go.
And they. Okay, is this him talking about it?
Yeah.
Let's see this liar.
Let's see this liar.
By the way, of course,
I would have stolen her money
if that bitch,
I would have been like,
she's famous for doing what now?
She's making what for what?
Our daughter's a multimillionaire.
She's shaking her ass on TikTok for pedophiles.
I'm stealing the money.
We're pimping our daughter out
for fucking pedophiles
on a Chinese dancing app.
Yes, I'll be stealing the money.
What is this, Masterpiece Theater?
This is a disease.
This app was a disease.
It was like a weapon used against us,
whatever it was.
This whole idea,
steal her money.
Now, this guy's a shady fuck.
We've talked about him on the show before.
The whole family's criminals.
I met them one time, actually.
Really liked them because of that.
And he had every right,
and in fact, dare I say,
responsibility
to steal money
from his talentless children.
When you are a parent of a successful child,
you hate them.
I'll say it again.
I'll say it again.
I'll say it again.
A part of you hates them.
You're living vicariously through them.
The oldest and greatest musical in our country,
Gypsy, is about this thing.
And Audra McDonald was brilliant in it.
Now it's off,
and you'll never see it on Broadway.
It is a long-held American tradition
to try to live vicariously through your children.
And when they make it,
a part of you burns inside
because even though you are happy for them,
you are angry that it is not you on the stage.
It is not you shaking your ass
on a Chinese dancing app.
It is not you that people,
the whole magazine wants to do the interview with.
And you're like,
but I raised her.
She has my DNA.
I'm the one that's interesting.
I'm the one that's worked hard.
So the only thing left you have to do at that point
is to steal their money.
That's why they steal all of their money.
Because they hate their children.
Not every part of them,
but they get so successful.
And then the parents,
they have to do something.
So in order to feel better about this,
they say,
steal their children's money.
And I could not be more supportive of this.
I believe in this.
I defend this man.
I wish he stole all of her money.
I wish he stole it all
and gave it to Israel.
I wish he stole every dollar she earned
and gave it to Israel
because they are committed to peace.
By the way,
they are committed.
I wish they were committed to peace.
I've never seen a country
as committed to peace as that country.
Let's listen to this.
Mark D'Amelio, friend of the show,
defending himself, I guess,
against accusations that he stole his daughter's money.
I would go the other way on this.
I would go, her money is my money.
She was a miner.
She lived in my house.
She was dancing on a Chinese app.
I get her money and I get to decide what she makes.
Mark D'Amelio.
And look, someone just wrote another. Stop it. Stop it right there.
Everyone that starts, hey, look, is guilty.
There is no, hey, look.
There is no innocent person in this country
who starts a sentence with, hey, look.
Hey, look.
Hey, look.
Hey, look.
Play that again.
Play those two words again, please.
Hey, look.
Someone just wrote. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, look.
People have said I stole my daughter's money.
Hey, look.
What do you want me to do?
She had money.
It was in the bank.
We don't even know what she did.
We don't even know why.
We don't get it.
The world went mad.
They started giving these 16-year-olds money
to do lip-syncing challenges.
Yeah, I stole it.
What do you think I'm going to do?
Not steal it?
Let's hear them out.
Another family ruined by fame.
We're not ruined.
I feel more normal now than I ever did.
I'm just not going to let people lie.
So a website that said. By the way, stop this video.
I've never seen a guiltier person than this man.
I have met the laughing in the. He's like, we're not. I feel more normal now than I ever have.
I mean, this guy is so incredibly guilty.
Look at him.
Look how much he enjoys stealing that money.
Look at that face.
Look how happy he is stealing that money.
Why would you want him to not steal that money?
She's still got enough money.
It's fine.
You know, here's the deal.
It's a little selfish of Charlie.
D'Amelio to walk out on her parents
just because they stole her money.
She's the problem.
She's the one who's destroying the family.
She has enough money.
She should just let her parents steal from her
because it's the only thing that keeps them alive.
The only thing that is keeping them alive
and keeping them happy,
the only thing that makes him feel like a man
is stealing from his daughter.
And the fact that she takes that away from him
is disgusting.
It's disgusting.
The fact that she would. ruin a family unit
by calling him out on this publicly
is disgusting.
Let's finish here, please.
Took mo. That said. I forgot.
It said something along the lines of
we took money and put it offshore.
I don't even. I wouldn't even know how to do that.
Okay.
By the way, stop it.
This is another thing that no one. People go there like,
I wouldn't even know how to. What do you mean?
What do you mean you wouldn't know how to do it?
They're saying we put money offshore.
I would. I wouldn't even know how to do it.
You just go to the Cayman Islands,
ask somebody.
Take a flight to the Cayman Islands
and sit there and go,
how could we make some of this money
to go to Switzerland?
Go ask. Ask another rich person.
Ask a wealthy person.
What do you. I wouldn't even know how to. I won't even. I don't even. Like, come on, dude.
We got our own money.
We're fine.
This dude was never being. Going through this process
was never about money.
It isn't.
Stop it.
He's right about that.
It's not that they were destitute
or needed her money.
He was not stealing from her
because he needed her money.
He was stealing from her
because it made him feel like a man
and it made him feel alive.
And he hates his children
because they are successful
and I respect and honor that.
And I acknowledge that
and that it is uncomfortable and painful.
But many parents,
including my own,
hate their children
because they are successful.
And that's okay.
It doesn't matter.
I. I. I still love my parents, it doesn't matter.
I don't begrudge them that feeling
But this man
It was never
He's right about that
See that's when
When he goes
It's never about money
That's the only time
He's telling the truth
Because it isn't
He didn't steal from her
Because he needed the money
He stole from her
Because he felt like
It was the right thing to do
He felt undervalued
He resented her level of success
And he stole her money
Because of that
And I am
I side with him
And I
I
I
I
I say
I say
A pox on his daughter
That witch
Who said
You
Stole my money
She should have
Quietly kept her mouth shut
And said
I realize how important it is
For my father
To steal this money
So he can feel alive
Play it
Having this crazy
Awesome experience
With my family
And that's it
So
The balance of being a dad
When you're going through this
When your kids are making
A lot of money
The hard part is
Not stealing from them
Like
You see opportunity
That I never had as a kid
Here it is
But I also saw the other dads
Here it is
You know
I heard about
Michael Jackson's dad
And these crazy dads
That just push their kids
I never did that
Right
And you're like
Why are they even
Why do they have any money
You're like
Why
What is he
See he's
They always tell on themselves
Everyone tells on themselves
So what's happening here
Is he's confessing
This is a confession
He thinks it's a
This is what's hilarious
He thinks it's a denial
It's a confession
He thinks
He's denying the charges
He's confessing to the crime
This is unbelievable
He's like
You know
You see these kids
Get famous
Here's the way
Here's what
Here's what an honest person does
Or at least a smart person
Who's dishonest
Ready
Yeah
I hope her mental health is okay
And I hope she's not on any kind of drugs
Because she's clearly being manipulated by people
And I love her
She's my daughter
And would love to talk to her
Whenever she wants to talk to me
Without cameras
Good night
That's what an honest
That's what somebody who's either
Not guilty does
Or someone who's guilty and smart
Here's what someone who's guilty and dumb does
You know
When your kids are famous
You see a lot of opportunities
They had
You didn't have
And you think of Michael Jackson's father
And all these other fathers
They pushed your kids
You know
And I never did anything like that
So
So basically
Where's mine?
What do I get out of this?
You know
I got a bunch of pedophiles
Jacking to my daughter
My underage daughter
And she's out there shaking her ass
And what am I supposed to get?
No money out of this?
I'm supposed to get nothing out of this?
Keep going here
Mark D'Amelio
Friend of the show
Businesses and things
That gave them opportunity
To do whatever they wanted
When down the road
And that was it
And if I'm a bad guy
For setting my kids up for success
And putting them in places
Where they can make a lot of money
I mean
We're living the dream
That's it
By the way
Stop it for a second
His daughter
This is how funny it is
His daughter is accusing him
Of stealing her money
He goes
We're living the dream
But this is the American dream
By the way
Here's another thing
I'm going to agree with him on
This is the American dream
The American dream is to
Prop up your talentless children
And to dupe pedophiles
Into paying for their content
And then to steal their money
And then to have them
Leave your house
And grab lawyers
And accuse you of stealing it
That is the
By the way
It's kind of
He's correct
He goes
We're living the dream
My daughter got famous
On a Chinese app
That was watched by pedophiles
She made a lot of money
And I stole it
And now she left
And she's suing me
And we're living the dream
Because he's right
That is the American dream
It's not
What do you think it is now
Owning a house
2.5 kids
White picket fence
Get real
This is the only dream left
And he's right
That's why he's not really upset
He's not really upset
About any of this
It's kind of unfazed
He's not fazed by it
He's not upset
His daughter's accusing him
Of stealing money
He thinks it's funny
He kind of thinks it's funny
He's very casual
About the whole thing
He's casual
Because the reality is
He knows
She's not famous
For any goddamn reason
He knows that life's
A horrific casino
There's children more talented
Than her that are being lit on fire
In mass in Gaza right now
Because they happen to be born there
And it's a horrific fact
That kid Henry Nowak
Just gets stabbed
Or whatever
I don't know
But like
You put him in these positions
What position?
You put her in a dance class?
Shut up
She got famous
And that's okay
It's all created equal
Talent is obviously
Not created equal
But whatever
She made her money
A lot of these TikTok
Kids were nice kids
When I met them
You know
We'd go out to dinner
And they'd be like
Hey man I'm a fan
They were nice
I never knew any of them that well
But they were all
Somewhat respectful kids
Some of them are mentally ill
And have killed people
Whatever
It's not my problem
As long as you were nice to me
For a brief period of time
You're okay in my book
You're okay in my book
Even if you're a murderer
So
What
Truly
If you are okay in my book
Then that's my book
I get that book
You did other things
To other people
So this guy
Is just basically
Saying
I stole
My daughter's money
Because
At the end of the day
What did you want me to do?
What was I supposed to do?
There's all this money around
That my daughter has
And I don't have
And I want
I can't get famous
Like she does
I can't shake my ass
On the camera
For money
I have to steal
The money
That's cause
Cause
When is it my turn?
You seen Gypsy?
They should do
An updated Gypsy
There's a show Gypsy
About
This woman
Whose daughter
Gypsy Rose Lee
Becomes a burlesque dancer
She starts out in vaudeville
And she's trying to
And she's trying to
Make her daughter famous
And this woman
Is obsessed with
Making her daughter famous
Her daughter only gets famous
As a burlesque dancer
And the penultimate song
Of this musical
These are all the people
That doubt I'm gay
Hear this
The penultimate song
Of the musical is
It's called
Everything's coming up roses
Where this woman
Finally confronts
That she's never
Going to be famous
And her daughter
Doesn't need her anymore
And there's this
Really powerful song
Where she goes
What is it my turn?
When do I get a dream
For myself?
And then she's like
It's gonna be me
And she's like
You know
In this massive delusion
Where she thinks
She's on stage
And she's doing
This whole thing
And this is
Mark D'Amelio
When is it my turn?
My daughter entertained
Pedophiles on an app
Made by the Chinese
When do I get a dream
For myself?
And then at the end
You know
Everything's coming up roses
And that's Mark D'Amelio
Everything's coming up roses
I stole all that bitch's money
Because he's right
This is the oldest dream
In America
Is to live vicariously
Through your children
Watch them be successful
And then hate them
It's just what it is
Quickly let's talk
A little bit about
Another legacy
Ivanka Trump
Jared Kushner
Who I just get
A good feeling from him
I don't know anyone else
Does anyone else
Just get a good feeling
From Jared Kushner?
I just
I get a good feeling
From Jared Kushner
I do
And so here's Ivanka Trump
Talking about her
Talking about
A big project
And I've always said this
About marriages
You need a project
I've said this
Whether it's a home renovation
Or you know
Looking at colleges
For the kids
Whatever it is
You need a project
As a married couple
Maybe you're restoring
An old barn
The wife wants an art studio
You want a man cave
Whatever
You know
So Jared and Ivanka Trump
Are
I'm sorry
Yeah
Jared and Ivanka Trump
Are building a massive
Off the grid private island
In the middle of the Mediterranean
Now you would think
Hey Epstein's thing
The files
It's probably a bad look
To go do this right now
But who cares?
The island spans
1,400 hectares
Hectacres
And currently has no power
They'll be working
With some of the world's
Greatest living architects
To bring this vision to life
So people that voted for Trump
Voted for Trump
Because he wanted to improve
Or supposedly
Wanted to improve
The economic quality
Of the lives
Of the average
Or ordinary working class
Americans
He wanted to restore
Sanity to the immigration system
He wanted to get rid of the DEI
Go back to more of a merit based
Appraisal of people's talent
Because he thought
And I agree with him
In the sense that DEI
In and of itself
Is inherently un-American
And it radicalizes people
All over the place
And unfortunately
Even though we're
An imperfect society
We're certainly not color blind
We do need to consider merit
In the sense of
Of how we assign value
To people and their jobs
And so
He was going to do all of this
He was going to help Americans
Afford groceries
And he was going to be more transparent
About areas where the government
Might have been hiding things
9-11, Epstein, whatever
None of that has happened
However
His daughter
And her husband
Are building an island
Or they're building a
I don't know, I guess a resort
She's going to tell us what it is
But here's what I'll say
She's going to tell us what it is
It's exciting
I'm excited by this
And I know that none of the other stuff happened
But at least this is something exciting
Here's Ivanka Trump, everyone
An incredible project with my husband
In the Mediterranean
It's massive in scale
I think that's an understatement
Can you explain?
There's no power on this island
You're building everything from scratch
It's an unbelievable, beautiful
1,400 hectare private island
In the middle of the Mediterranean
We were on a friend's boat
and we stopped for a swim.
that's how we found it we swam to stop it for a minute here's the great thing about the czars
because they're czarists they're czarists and i have great respect for russia i don't want to
live there i don't i don't i you know i'm not in love with putin all the time i do think some of
what he does is fun um the bear and you know be going in those cold legs uh don't love all of
their policies obviously wouldn't want to live there i'm kind of bummed that i can't get a direct
flight there from a nato country because i do want to try where they uh invented a chicken kiev
but i want to go to st petersburg and moscow it's it's a old society that's produced lots
of literature conservatives jerk it off because they're a little stupid and they don't really
understand it's like they pretend it's a religious society it's like it was a communist society of
atheism for years but whatever everything's fake and nothing matters so it doesn't matter so
whatever just whatever you want to do you can believe anything you want to believe but like
i don't think we should go to war with russia i don't think we should
antagonize russia i think we should just leave it be and let me go there and have a dinner
that being said these are czarists uh the trump family they become right they want you to know
how much they don't live your life and in the beginning that was cute because it was honest
you know when trump got out there and he was like this plane they said it would take off and it
didn't you know it was his own plane and like he was honest and he was like i don't think we should
be honest with people and they liked it because it was refreshing to hear a rich guy not pretend
to be broke like when i go to these cities i go to london and paris i'm fortunate enough because
of people that listen to the show i'm very grateful that i can stay in nice hotels and
whenever i stay in a nice hotel inevitably i'm confronted with somebody who goes yeah but that's
like not the real london that's like not the real paris i'm like that's right that's correct i don't
want to see the real london or the real paris i'm like that's right that's correct i don't want to
maybe i'll walk through it but i don't care there is no real london or real paris anymore those are
just rich kids larping as something they're not let's just go to where the rich people don't
pretend to be anything but rich let's cut it out i need to go hang out in some hipster suburb with
so let me just hang out with their parents let me have fucking tea with their parents
why do i need to hang out with them why because they posted something uh progressive on on the
internet i forget how rich they fucking are there is no real london or real paris i don't care
oh you gotta see the real one the real london is that kid getting stabbed i don't want to go to
that that wasn't in london but it's a little outside of it but like that's the real what is
the real anything no i want to see where people don't pretend to be anything other than what it is
in the beginning when the trumps emerged the fat and donald these people are nothing they
mean nothing they're the runoff of a dynasty but like he was honest with people and it made them
like him
because he did not pretend to be in any way relatable he was an egotistical maniac who told
people nobody does it like me you know when this concert he's going to do this concert to celebrate
america's 250th anniversary and all these acts pulled out he goes let's just replace him with
the greatest act of all time the guy who filled more seats than elvis in his prime and did it
he's a bad guy who but now that people are broke and he's selling the government off for parts and
no one cares it's not cute anymore it's not fun anymore because everybody was like we want him to
be our czar even me i was like is there what a great movie the rich scumbag becomes the rich
scumbag of the people what a movie the leader of america is never gonna be not a rich scumbag i'm
41 i didn't grow up in another country i know who we are and i know what this thing is and i know
what it's always been well you're naive no you thought sanders was gonna win you fucked hard
you're naive he got sandbagged by his own fucking people they were never gonna let him win
i just thought maybe there was a chance that the rich scumbag liar was gonna do it for us
there was that chance maybe that's how the movie ended now it was not
i'll admit that but that belief was as is as patriotic as i could get
there was this patriotic because i knew you like obama because he won on talk shows and he was he
was a cerebral contemplative guy but they locked up a lot of whistleblowers and threw a lot of
people out of their houses and deported a lot of people but you don't give a shit because jimmy
kimmel didn't talk about it you moron
but i thought
maybe this rich scumbag could have been the rich scumbag for america but he was not
he's for israel he's for qatar if they give him a plane these people are talking about an island
in the mediterranean we're gonna let her finish but keep in mind as you listen to the rest of this
how little they go watch that movie melania if you think you know it's just it hurt walking out
of a g6 g5 plane going to palm beach the first 15 minutes are her getting fitted for
an outfit they want to sell you the way that russia did for many years the greatness of the
of and the glory of the state and they are the state we have the hottest country in the world
what that means when he says that is that my family is getting rich and you live vicariously
through us you know he wants he's turning us all into mark d'amelio he wants us all to be
mark d'amelio sitting there looking at another
person get all the fame get all the money take a look here let's let ivanka finish him
wham to the islands we went on a hike barefoot all the way up to the top and we were just
captivated and it stayed with us ever since and over the course of of many years we developed the
opportunity to help realize its potential and and transform it but with a lot of restraint and care
because the land is so beautiful and it's so beautiful and it's so beautiful and it's so beautiful
that really by the way stop it for me this is causing riots in albania they're rioting over
this they're burning down the head of the albania they just burned down that guy's house who's what
he's the prime minister or the leader or something the president what is he i don't know he was the
president's house yeah they just burned down his house because they were like we've had enough of
this so we're not going to watch the rest of it we know what she's saying we get it she's they're
buying rich people are just buying islands and we're doing it with care we're doing it so much
because they're they're they're here's what folks this is what that means they're getting out
if they can't get on a spaceship off the country they're going to the middle of the mediterranean
sea inside cezanne island cezanne island the albanian ex-military base at ivanka trump and
jared kush don't want to turn into a luxury resort
the data centers by the way you dummies are not prisons for people that did the vaccine you queuing
on retard
they are data centers and they're gonna they're gonna try to take your livelihood the other thing
is they're probably not building a luxury resort they're gonna build something that looks like a
luxury resort and then live in it uh when there's a nuclear war um and that's what it is they want
you to root for them they want you to be excited for them and happy for them because they made it
out rich people are probably not going to be able to get off the planet before it inevitably
emolliates but they are going to flee to the middle of the world and they're going to be
the middle of the ocean if they can nevertheless cezanne has already been dubbed trump island by
angry locals who have made their displeasure and reported a deal care below we take a closer look
at the island with his 3600 nuclear bunkers unexploded weapons bomb shelters and miles of
tunnels so here's the reality everybody's preparing everybody's preparing from spencer pratt
to mark domilio everybody's doing what they have to do he's lifting taking a little bit off the top
skimming from his daughter and jared and ivanka have decided to uh buy a nuclear bunker in the
middle of the mediterranean sea because they know something's coming they don't only know it's coming
they're making it happen that's the thing they're not sitting in the dark they know
that all of this tension eventually boils over the henry nowak stuff the the affordability
crisis in america the food the cost of oil in the next six months things are going to skyrocket
and make this an unlivable place financially and your only way out if you're in america
your only way out you better hope your kid can shake their ass
on a chinese dancing app for money or if you're spencer pratt you better grab the gas can
Good luck.
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Tim Dillon dismisses the success of low-budget films like *Back Rooms* and *Obsession* as rare flukes, not a sign of a broader trend in Hollywood.
He warns against overinterpreting these successes as proof that anyone can achieve similar results, emphasizing that such outcomes are exceptional and not replicable.
Dillon criticizes the public's tendency to see every minor success as a revolutionary shift, arguing it creates false hope and misleads people about the realities of the entertainment industry.
He highlights the absurdity of people in their middle age, often on drugs, being inspired by these stories, calling it a sign of desperation rather than genuine optimism.
The conversation shifts to political and social observations, including the UK’s policing issues, the stabbing of Henry Nowak, and systemic failures in how police evaluate hate crimes.
Dillon draws a parallel between the UK’s policing culture and the U.S., noting that both have deep-rooted traditions of social control and historical bias.
He critiques the rise of TikTok fame, particularly the D’Amelio family, arguing that parents often steal from their children because they hate their success and live vicariously through them.
The ultimate message is that nothing major is changing in society—what appears to be progress is often just a mirage, and real change is rare or non-existent.
Summary:
Tim Dillon critiques the narrative that low-budget, successful films like *Back Rooms* and *Obsession* signal a new era in Hollywood, calling such claims exaggerated and misleading. He argues these successes are rare anomalies, not a replicable trend, and warns against readers misinterpreting them as proof that anyone can succeed in filmmaking. He emphasizes that societal and political changes—such as shifts in policing, immigration policies, or celebrity culture—are not occurring as widely as people believe.
The UK’s handling of a hate crime involving a young white boy stabbed by a Sikh, and the subsequent police missteps and systemic biases, illustrate deep-rooted issues in law enforcement and social equity. Dillon also explores the phenomenon of TikTok fame, pointing out that parents of successful children often feel resentment and steal their earnings, a behavior he ties to a long-standing American tradition of living vicariously through offspring. He critiques the idea that these stories represent progress, noting they are often rooted in desperation, misinformation, or cultural delusion.
Ultimately, his message is one of realism: nothing substantial is changing in society. What appears to be transformation is merely a mirage—like water in the desert—designed to give false hope. From political campaigns to policing and celebrity culture, the world remains largely stagnant, with only surface-level changes and deep-seated systemic flaws persisting.
FAQs
No, these successes are rare flukes, not a trend. They were made possible by specific circumstances and do not indicate a wave of similar success for independent filmmakers.
It's extremely rare. The success of these films is not sustainable or replicable for most people, as they rely on unique factors like timing, marketing, and audience luck.
Not necessarily. The success is often seen as a fluke, not a shift in the system. Hollywood has always been open to independent films, but it hasn't changed significantly.
He dismisses it as a mirage. Nothing is changing in the system; people are simply reading too much into isolated events and misinterpreting them as a trend.
Because it's rare and exceptional. These films are not representative of the broader industry, and their success doesn't mean others will follow the same path.
He believes Spencer Pratt's threat to leave LA if he loses is exaggerated. He argues that such a scenario won't change the outcome and that the city's issues are deeply entrenched.
