That's the second time I've actually seen Dillon be candid for an extended length of time, and it's borderline surreal. He is a way more sane than his comedic persona would lead you to believe.

[@Wot50202]

It’s true! If you catch Tim in the middle of one of his comedy rants you’d think he’s borderline lmfao. But it’s a character he plays up for comedic sake. I love it when he drops the facade and just allows someone to pick his brain. I could listen to Tim speak without his comedy character for days on end.

Yeah his comedy is derived from a pretty solid understanding of the human condition imo. He’s a smart guy socially

if u listen to his arguments he always sounds sane/intelligent; the energy of his rants and the aggressive cynical sarcasm does make him seem unhinged tho if ur not capturing the big picture of his claims.

My mom has Alzheimer's. I'm a man and her sole caregiver. I really appreciate when he said,"it's like saying goodbye to someone, little by little," when they have a mental health ailment and how is similar to a terminal illness.

[@mattlittleton5137]

My mom too and my grandma had it as well and that is exactly what it is like. If you're a good care giver then they'll be totally gone long before they actually die...which is probably the easiest way to deal with the death of a loved one to be honest. Because technically they already had died long before they actually did so it's not a sudden jolt on your emotions when it finally happens. All in all it is truly terrible watching them slip away though, especially when the day comes when they all of a sudden don't know who you are anymore. If you're lucky after that day passes, just maybe, one day they will all of a sudden remember you and you can give them a hug and cry for a minute as you embrace them for hopefully more than just a minute. It's so fucked up to be the caregiver but I wouldn't want it any other way cause I got to have a few more moments in the end than anyone else did and I cherished them so much.

[@justaride1366]

My mom has dementia. She started off repeating conversations 3x verbatim, because she couldn't remember that she had called the day before, or what she had said 15 minuted before. Then she couldn't remember my boyfriend's name, then she couldn't remember her children's names, now she doesn't know who I am. No one visits her but me (GenX), and my older sister (Boomer). My little sister (Millennial) doesn't, with the excuse that she has kids(?). My younger brother (Millennial) has no excuse, except he can't steal money from her anymore, because she has become a ward of the State (I live in a different State). Kudos to you for taking care of your mom. And yes, it IS a terminal illness.

[@EMan-cu5zo]

It definitely rings true. It’s heartbreaking to watch loved ones or friends go slowly into that illness.

[@benjaminwlang]

My grandmother and my mom had it. My mother was diagnosed when I was 15. She didn't die until I was 26. The first time I noticed something was wrong was when she was driving on the wrong side of the road and I told her I think she is driving on the wrong side. She went into the right lane and laughed it off saying "sometimes I forget that." I spent the "best" years of my life being a caretaker. It broke my father and my sister. We lost everything. She was completely gone by the end. Society doesn't really talk about the toll it takes on caregivers. The focus is usually on the person with the illness.

[@thehubrisoftheunivris2432]

@@benjaminwlang I've decided, in these later stages, just to go broke but have stability. Try to keep her days as happy and positive as possible. I'm not particularly attached to much else in this world. I believe in God and I'm answering my calling. I'm sorry it was so tight for you and others. It's tough for me too. I just got into the perspective of not caring about much else, aside from my 10 year old daughter. She is really good and like medicine for my mom. And when my mom passes away, I think my daughter will grieve and turn it into a positive. I'm glad she gets to know my mom, even in this state.

STRAIGHT white man.... Yet I can't even find a decent female to go out on a date with. Let alone have children...

Emotional terrorists. Damn, that was excellent. I recall the 80's as a kid watching how materialistic things became. The 70's were kind of ugly aesthetically, but people seemed to care about the planet and marginalized groups. This changed in 80's where it was all about flashy colors, pop music with electronic sounds, big business, big hair, and the renewed cold war with Russia that was all contrived by American media to terrorify us. The 90's ushered in a new generation that was cynical and annoyed by how fake things were so we received grunge from Seattle, best music on planet, and a group of young people warning everyone how toxic and dangerous things were becoming. Internet opened up doors, but no social media yet, so you still had dome privacy and freedom. The millenia changed things again, and well, now even youtube is about money. It used to be largely a fun place to go. That Content Creators and Influencers are "jobs" is really kind of bizarre. Sigh.

[@KnotTheSun]

54:07 This is such a great explanation of how life should be. Once we reach our personal goals, being able to help others and celebrating other’s accomplishments is so fulfilling. I’ve watched my step father go from high ranking corporate executive to retiring, to helping my mother reach her financial and work goals, to them both retiring and now he volunteers all his time to things that make him truly happy and fulfilled. He’s a much nicer guy now and I’m proud of him. One of my clients is a volunteer for the lyons and she was a school teacher. The issues I’m seeing with the way things are going, is we won’t have the luxury of donating our time as time goes on, if you struggle for most of your life trying to reach retirement how much time are you going to have to devote to others afterwards? For some of us, maybe none…

[@thomgizziz]

Yeah because your parents didn't struggle... none of our parents did... most of our parents lived in conditions that people now would classify as inhumane. People now think that they should be able to get a house and have a family and also keep all of their luxuries and going out and traveling... previous generations didn't do that but people pretend that is what happened. They all want to have their cake and eat it too.

I prefer several other interview styles to this but I suppose the main advantage is that the guest has the floor most of the time, the interviewer is just a facilitator for the guest to paint a verbal picture

And the interviewer is so good at what he's doing, I was not aware of this channel before. Glad I found it. I'm flying accross Europe to see Tim in Copenhagen and I'm so happy about that and I know it'll be worth it. Great interview, loved it.

Probably the most authentic person Ive seen interviewed here. Really like this guy snd respect the channel. Nice job Steve!!!

[@AK-74K]

Half the stuff he rants about he doesn't really mean or massively exaggerated. Great comedian, very talented, but genuine isn't the word I would use. A few genuine moments here, but lots and lots of Tim's unique style ranting, so let's not make this interview into more than what it is.

[@slingoking]

Greatest thing about Tim is that he tends not to justify himself, while being entirely honest, and in that I feel him to be a very honorable person. He goes on to challenge the rest of us (Gen X here) to see our own selves. Possibly the most honest, and therefore human, comedians - in a field where honesty has normally led to legendary status - see Patrice O'neal.

I was a big fan before but an hour and half later, I am an even bigger fan. It isn't often we get a glimpse into the raw human side of Tim that isn't accompanied with quick remarks and jokes.

Watching this makes me like Tim Dillon even more and it also reminds me how getting older and facing a few demons makes you think you have all the answers. I wish him well and as a fellow X'er I hope he doesn't just transform into boomer, these younger generations are asking really good questions and we have zero credibility with them. I rooting for him and I love the raw pure opinion whether I agree with all of it or not. I grew up in Long Island and my mom was not well in many ways like his and I think it basically a fact that babyboomers in many instances, did not raise their children. Being open and vounerable are the most important things.
