Tim Dillon Schools Lex Fridman about Stupid People

- Tim Dillion's job as a comedian is to make people happy, and not everyone is meant to live a meaningful, examined life. Some people are stupid, and find deep happiness in simplicities like eating Buc-ee's nuggets on their couch lol
Taken from Tim Dillion 282
• #282 - Lex Fridman | T...
“(Tim) Part of what I like is problems, problems are essential for my business … making people happy … and if there are no problems there's never going to be a reason to make anyone happy, that's why utopians hate comedy, because they think you can create a world in which there will be no pain, so if there is no pain there's no reason to alleviate that pain through comedy, but I'm someone who realizes that no matter how great you make the world, you're gonna have pain, you're gonna have problems”
“(Tim) one of the things where me and you have a disagreement is this very vague and general advice that we give to people … we tell them your life is not valid or meaningful unless you have this dream, this deep love of something that you have to pursue, and you have to be on this journey, and I know people that derive a lot of happiness from the greatest simplicities in their life”
“(Tim) not everybody is meant to live this fully examined life”
“(Tim) Haven’t you ever met stupid people? You’re a guy who, because he's very smart, has had the privilege of speaking to some very very intelligent people … you’re not a simple person … you've got a robot on your floor, you interview the richest man in the world yesterday, you're wearing a suit … Rogan thinks he's a simple man too and he owns the Colorado River, can we stop?!”
“(Tim) I was in Buc-ee’s yesterday … people go to Buc-ee’s and they buy the nuggets and they eat the nuggets on their couch … don't you understand that those people fundamentally have some differences with you?”
“(Lex) no … I think they appreciate life more than the people who are in this rat race of quote-unquote smart people who are climbing some kind of career ladder”
“(Tim) you might say to those people, do what you love, and they might say … I'm doing what I love, I love Buc-ee’s nuggets, and I love my couch” - Розваги
"Rogan thinks he's a simple man too. He owns the Colorado River..." Funniest line from Tim in the clip and props to Lex for reacting accordingly!
I'm the jerk who saw this comment, agreed, saw it had 69 likes, said, "nice," ... and liked it
I legit thought this was Ai generated
Thanks point dexter
@@ggkoukla you bastard !! You ruined it.
@@710schmokesame! Lmao
“You’re wearing a suit. It’s 12” 😂
“do what you love”
“I AM doing what I love. I love Bucky’s nuggets, and I love this couch.” 🤣🤣 there are some things that can’t be said any better than Tim Dillashay does
Tim's ability to come up with funny lines & deliver them spontanuesly is master-level
This is called wit and almost a prerequisite for being a comedian
"master level" LMFAO
I see Tim and I see a man tortured by intelligence. Thank god I'm not that sharp.
Calling them a Walmart competitor is an underrated joke, lol
Bruh I laughed so hard hard when he said that bahaha
My wife and I cracked up laughing! We live in Tejas'.
I thought he was talking about Buckys which would have been extra funny since they have been bought out and renamed to Caseys. Then I find out that there is also Buc-ee's.
I would rather go to Buccees than Walmart 🤷♂️
There should be an actual chain of stores called,
WALMART COMPETITOR
It would need a team of Scientology-level lawyers, but it would be so fun to see that!
Tim smashes people over the head with truth, slowly, sensually. I love it.
this got me a little riled up reading.
"you have a robot on the floor" LMAO
Tim is spot on as usual. 😂
The "simple man" routine is horse sh#t.
tim is right, i dont think lex understands that poor people wish they could sit at home eating nuggets, without worry of bills and bullshit. just relaxing for that bit with them nuggets, before going back into the cog of hell, working for a bitch manager for $13 an hour
Exactly.
You tell em'
Define simple……for the upvotes that just ate 3 nuggets
I think they want to be the simple man and because they live with themselves and see all of the insecurities and failures and small details they still feel like a simple man. We only see their wealth and success, so it’s easy to see the clear divide between them and actual simple men. For them though, they’re so close to picture that it becomes blurry and hard to tell.
That or they’re lying. 💁🏽♂️
'Utopians hate comedy because they think you can create a world in which there will be no pain'. Tim Dillon is one of those people where they're not a scientist or anything so it may take you a while to realize how brilliant they actually are
gay
@@andreasglo4 and?
All good comedians are essentially low tier philosophers in the sense they have to really think about society in order to make jokes usually the best comedians are really intelligent intrinsic thinkers everybody knows this or at least I thought everyone know this
That's why wokies are the most humorless people you'll meet. They censor freely because people laughing is poison to them. It has to be all serious, all the time, and if anyone is laughing it means they're failing.
Im one of those people.
I feel like listening to this as a huge relief for me. I’ve put so much stress on trying to have an fulfilling life and and to have someone say there’s nothing wrong with you for having a simplistic lifestyle feels like a breath of fresh air. Pass me those beaver nuggets.
And that is either awful or awesome. Not sure which. Maybe both.
Ya no pressure its ok to be a loser the world expects nothing form you!
The glass staircase goes nowhere but up. So stay on the ground or go up, it seems both lead to an unfulfilled life eagerly waiting sweet death
@LilMexico Not sure how old you are, but I'm 38 and it's taken me this long to realize that I don't need to run the rat race of excellence. My dad is a successful technologist and entrepreneur. He grew up dirt poor but worked his ass off to make a better life for himself and our family. I grew up thinking he was normal rather than exceptional. A lot was expected of me. Getting C's in school was considered a problem. When I went to college, I got into a program that only accepted 17% of its applicants. I was a high performer in institutions, but then I got into the real world, where success is more about ingenuity rather than being a good student. I found out I was pretty regular. Maybe smarter and more diligent than most, but no Rockstar by any means. This bummed me out for a long time. Then I realized that the message we get from the high achievers isn't for everyone. Some of us just want to make due. Maybe we have one of two things we really want to excel at, but it doesn't need to be everything. Find what you care about, and focus on that. You don't need to do anything more. And if all you wanna do is eat nuggets; bon apetite!
You may enjoy Bukowski.
Lex thinks he’s Joking, but those who know the couch types know this is a serious thing
Of course I know him, he's me.
Ben Kenobi, boy, am I glad to see you.
Who is wasting their life more? The couch people or the corporate ladder climbers?
@SuhmStank 420 That's the beauty of life, there is no one "correct" way to live it.
Who's to say. There are many ways to the mountain top. Also, the Valley is quite beautiful as well
One of the worst things we do as a society is denigrate people who never leave the town they grew up in to "pursue their dreams." Those people are often leading the happiest, simplest lives while people who are trying to find fulfillment in some big, complicated plan for life are often the most miserable
The point is people are different. Striving for greatness is admirable, but so is achieving balance and contentment.
Yes and no. As one of the drifters, I’ve met enough people to see that there’s people of all kinds in these ballparks. A whole lot of “grass is greener” from the hometown locals who think their city is boring and that they want to get out but never do. Just as much as those dreamers who move away and realize the grass isn’t greener
The fundamental question goes back to the meaning of life. A Nietzschean perspective would tell you that life isn’t about contentment, it is about reaching the pinnacle of humanity and overcoming the unhappiness and struggle. You can only have so many simple-but-happy buccee’s consumers before the society that supports such needless consumption has no go-getters to stand upon
They’re called “Beaver Nuggets” Tim
All I want to know is, how quickly will they give me cancer?
@@GordonCaledoniaProbably not any quicker than anything else here in Tejas.
Tim is a genius of comedy
Sure. But this isn’t comedy. This is an honest lecture.
I love this pairing because it's a lovely set of extremes. Tim might have a slightly narrow view of a certain subset of people who he deems to be simple/less intelligent, whereas Lex likely overestimates the everyday person. As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle. XD This comment section is gold as well.
If they were sitting in Europe, Lex would be right.
@@tristanpatterson3843 Nah you are wrong, simple country folk, ya know rednecks, are some of the most intelligent and resourceful people in the world. They are deemed by city people as cretins, when in reality they live a more fulfilling life on average. You can keep your corporate ladder I’ll take hunting and fishing and camping and loving
In the end they are both lying. Tim doesn't really believe everyone is so stupid, and Lex is being kind because he does believe most people are idiots. One being funny, one trying to be humble.
@@SmugAmericanno i actually think Tim believes that. Well not believe but know because he’s right
The truth, is not. Always in the middle, that’s just a dumb aphorism.
I'd love nothing more than to run into Tim Dillon in a Bucees.
Do you think he would take a picture with me in front of the beaver if I asked?
@@atomknight8361 Only 1 way to find out.
One time I opened a Bucc-ee's men's bathroom stall door and a guy was bent over pants down ready to anonymously receive. I didn't ask his name but maybe it was Tim.
I d like to see Tim in a Buccees and have some nuggets sent over to him with a note that says "compliments of a simple man...."
I'd like to see tim dillon running a buc-ees
Lex having cognitive dissonance because he is fundamentally a utopian thinker.
Nah he's just hoping for the best.
Lex Fridman's favorite fiction author is Fyodor Dostoevsky, hard to imagine calling him a utopian. I'd say he is interested in finding the beauty even in the midst of utmost tragedy. But that doesn't make him Utopian.
@@thelandofmatt it’s not Lex’s attraction to beauty that makes him a utopian; it’s his devotion & admiration to “great men” & science. He thinks most things are fundamentally solvable and that men like Elon Musk are working towards that end. He literally volunteered to head up Twitter’s engineering for free because he wanted to “increase the amount of love in the world.” That’s a utopian.
Definitely a utopian.
@Matt Bishop I've read pretty much everything Dostoyevsky has written besides personal mail, and even then some of that. I don't see what you mean by your comment, why would reading Dostoyevsky preclude someone from being Utopian?
when successful comedians realize they're modern nobles too
Tim looks like he's had a few buckets of Bucees nuggets.
Tier 1 humor over here
Without a doubt
Tim looks like the stuff you make the Bucees nuggets from
Lmfao Tim really is a genius. I dont want to admit it but Tim proves he is definitely a genius every time i click on him.
That’s what I thought until I clicked on him more 🤣
He is def a genius when he’s in his lane, but if Lex is utopian to a fault, Tim is similarly dystopian.
He's a genius.. to ret@rds.
To the rest of us.. He's speaking common sense
@@rzn2258
Tim is on a different level of smart. He gets people, Lex is a robot….an emotional one, but still a robot though
tim's analysis and perspective is so spot on
What Tim is really getting at is the concept of Zen. For example, I do an oil and filter change on my car but I do it extremely meticulously and I love and immerse myself in every tiny step of the process. I derive great pleasure from it and feel fulfilled after doing it.
Same.
The nuggets and sofa koan is my favorite.
Lex knows the data on IQ, yet dances around it with his nausea-inducing "love is the answer" mantra.
Just in case people don't understand what you're talking about: FACT: 50% of Americans have an IQ below 100 . . .
@@QED_only 16% of americans have an iq less than or equal to 85, that’s you buddy
Nothing so complex was ever explained so simply. This is poetry.
I love lex but Tim has a major point lol. Tim knows.
Those Bucce’s shoppers are the backbone of America. Travelers of the America eating Nuggets and those awesome Apple pie and
BBQ Brisket sandwiches. Tee shirts and Clean Clean bathrooms 🧐 now I need to go to Bucce’s soon! 🤷🏻♂️
Truth… the happy go Lucky, over taxed, under appreciated Middle Class.
The jerky is also delicious
Well you tried Tim. Turns out he's too in love with himself to hear what you had to say.
I’d like to see more of this aspect of Tim Dillon. He’s equal parts thoughtful, intelligence and adds humor without being performative.
What's about the buckies brisket!!!
We all think we are the sinple man until a robot picks up a cube that fell out of your icebath
I just feel like Tim misunderstands Texas. The beaver nuggets aren’t meant to eat on the couch they are a road-trip snack. You eat them while you drive and drink beer duh. And Buc-ee’s is a gas station that you go to to take a 30 minute break from driving if you’re on a long road trip. Other than that you avoid that crowded ass place
Texan here. Spot on
@@WinkenBlinkenAndNod and bruh their bathrooms are top notch
Tim doesn't care to examine reason in this situation. He obviously likes road trip snacks and he is a traveling entertainer. His point is that he is better than people aren't rich and famous.
@@pepeeltoro1592 It isn't though
Something about Tim's stuck up attitude amuses me to no end though
Reminds me of that JRE when Joe brought on this fighter from Africa, I can't recall his name, but I remembered when he said that when he goes back home there's just people who work all day and are happy to just go home eat dinner and go to sleep and do it all again. But I thought, what's wrong with wanting a full belly and just to relax at home. Legitimately what is wrong with that? Not everyone is going to be a world class fighter. Someone has to work in the mines or make bricks or work at McDonald's or pick up the trash. But for some reason the majority looks down on the people doing those essential jobs.
I had a friend who almost died from drinking too much, and I said welcome back a Lazarus. he had no idea what I was talking about, Neither did his other friend. I'm not some Christian scientist either. I just know a couple of basic things about the religion that our society is based off of, is this normal? Do people not know anything about anything anymore?
It's becoming increasingly LESS normal, but you are good. Pretty uncultured to not even know Lazarus. 😅
"Do people not know anything about anything anymore?" They know nothing.
Full disclosure, that reference means nothing to me. I know it's a biblical reference and in the context I'd probably understand what you mean but I don't know the story. I didn't feel bad about until I read your comment. 😂
Raised christian all my life. Know that lazarus is from the bible, but I dont know the story. I think the reference just might be a few thousand years dated.
@@shauns.6231 Here’s the whole story: 1) Lazarus died. 2) Jesus told Lazarus to come back to life. 3) Lazarus came back to life. Now you are in the know.
The “Simple Man” folly that Dillon is identifying rang true with some top writers: Tolstoy thought he was “one of the people”, David Foster Wallace felt himself to be “one of the people”…it’s nonsense…and that’s Ok! Not everyone can be gifted and special and have special talents. It’s just that some people are uncomfortable with their gifts, likely because they feel they are undeserved…which they are! It was complete luck someone like Lex was born as Lex rather than a Buckey’s Nuggets guy. Whoever you are, own it. If you don’t, you will come off as inauthentic, which is exactly what these people are often trying to avoid. To love yourself is to see yourself accurately; as long as people like Lex (whose work I really do like!) stay stuck in this idea that they are unexceptional, he will, ironically enough, feel a distance with his fellow man.
Well put! I do believe I needed to hear that. Food for thought, because in my day-to-day work life it is a job, not so much a "career". I'm mixing with people who are mostly blue-collar, while my formal education surpassed theirs. On the other hand my sincere respect of them where they are schooled in particular trades. Yet, being a "people-person" is in my blood, though we are not "blue blood". No silver spoons in our mouths, so no "elite" nor country club memberships. It's been a confusing road. This video ( along with your balanced and supportive comment ) are jogging something in my soul to be that much more honest and free with my intelligence in the Grand Scheme of Things. My education was not for naught. My skill-set is not a fluke, IMO, either. ( Family + Ancestry + God's Will ). While I profoundly don't believe in boasting about my accomplishments, I've also downplayed and minimized my achieved goals. To my detriment and smaller thinking. Individuals, in Tim's words "stupid people", should not believe that I am looking down on them. I'm not! We are all fallible creatures, but that doesn't mean I should erase who I am "to blend in". That's strangely condescending, actually. Thanks, again, for your solid comment.
The flip side is the ivory tower elitist who erroneously believes their expertise in one of a few areas extends into all areas. The simple man routine is a rejection of this, but perhaps taking it a little too far. I’ll take a humble genius over one that thinks they are a god.
What does authenticity matter? Hitler was authentic. Wish he wasnt.
“Be yourself” is the most underrated saying, ever. Because you will never truly know how people feel about you (and how much they may be depending on you to be yourself…for their benefit).
Might as well take the punches in-stride and ride the wave of goodness.
‘tism never hurts, either.
@@kftc1980 I like “angry genius.” People leave those guys alone, which is what they want, need and deserve.
To be fair I think most people unfamiliar with Buc-ee’s would be floored upon walking into one. It is the largest gas station in the world with genuinely good food and fresh jerky. As a Chicagoan it was like walking into a roadtripper’s utopia - go figure
Tim’s take is so good - I can’t stand the “every man” hacks (Rogan, huberman, etc) who think they’re so down to earth cause they talk about cold plunge vs sauna, completely unaware of how detached they are from reality & how absurdly rich they are.
They’re so obsessed with their own “authenticity” they can’t see how inauthentic they’ve become.
Louis ck brought it up to rogans face when he was on the pod & it flew right over his head. Rogan couldn’t fathom that he’s become completely detached.
Nothing against rogan (huberman is a legit snake oil salesman however), it’s what happens when you’ve been rich & in Hollywood for 25yrs & then get a $300m check. The problem is he brands himself as an Everyman when he so isn’t. The reason “everymen” like trump, an Ivy League billionaire from manhattan, is bc he is authentic to who he is, he doesn’t pretend to be “one of you”.
what did Louis ck say? i cant' remember
I love the Buckeys nuggets, and I love my couch 😂
I got all hopped up on beaver nuggets yesterday
"don't you understand that those people fundamentally have some differences with you?"
This was Gold!
This is amazing.
It's important to interact with mind altering stupidity from time to time. Helps the following get into perspective:
-gratitude toward your own capabilities
-insight to the true common denominators in society
- remember their vote counts the same as yours
- if they can make it through this world you sure as hell can
Agreed 💯
4. Eugenics is necessary and good
As someone who teaches in a public school, yeah. We should always try to help however we can, and people can be better even if they aren't actively trying to get better so we should never stop trying to help...but some humans just aren't going to make it.
@@JohnM-sw4sc PS. ref my above comment...those who 'aren't going to make it' may not be the crowd you think it is... History is not kind to smart people or try-hards.
@@fortusvictus8297 history would be unable to be unkind to smart people if we euthanize the dummies.
Becuase something has happened one way does not equal it will always happen that way.
I have no idea how to interpret “try hards” in this context ?
If I consume my vacuum cooked chicken hamstring on my Victorian fainting couch, am I still a simple person?
Ahh yes… a fainting couch. Did you place yours in your day room or perhaps your smoking room?
love them both
This went way deep. Lex still holding onto to the idea of eating nuggets on a couch
On point.
This is hilarious 😂
anything Tim Dillon can be injected directly into my veins. lol dude is hysterical.
Great insight from tim here. All the podcast bubble gurus think theyre buddha, but they havent been outside their castles in years
This is brilliant
This brought a smile to my face and made me happy
So this is his redemption… love that meaningful esotericism. As a stupid person lol
Ben tho dude
When an immovable object meets an unstoppable force.
i love him he just really hits the nail head for me
I couldn’t tell there was a split screen at first and was thinking why the hell are they sitting so close??
All I need is this bucket and this couch. And this lamp. And this iPhone charger.
They're sitting knee to knee, touching if you will, at a 3-by-3 table turned sideways. That's so Tim Dillon...
The video is split..
@@wajihbec1087I prefer imagining an intense game of footsie going one
And looking past each other rather than at. Very progressive... Just genius
Well said.
I try not to laugh sometimes at what Tim Dillon says but my shoulders give the game away. He is hilarious on his rants. Great comedian.
Why try not to laugh?
He's wrong about Buc-ees though. LOL it's a rest stop in Texas with cleanest bathrooms in the world. 😂
A national treasure, this man.
a rational treasure
They're called *BEAVER nuggets
listen im climbing a corporate ladder myself, but i'll be damned if im not also stopping to get those bucee's nuggets and their bbq sandwich on a road trip, leave me alone
I'm usually not a big tim dillon guy. But, he's absolutely dead on!
I am going to have to try some of those nuggets.
“The day you cease to travel, you will have arrived.”
Tim: "happAh" 😂
Sitting on my couch, I am curious about this "Bucky's Nuggets" you speak of, and what Joys I am missing out on.
Great comedy ❤ Tim just went next level!!
Comedians are our modern day philosophers
The only way to "win" in life is to enjoy it.
If eating Buc-ee's nuggets on the couch makes YOU happy, then doing exactly that IS the "smart" thing to do.
It's certainly a lot smarter than not doing it just because some random dumbass that ISN'T YOU thinks it's dumb.
First you get the power then you get the money then you get the bucky's nuggets and a nice microsued sectional
Love love love ❤❤❤ Tim!
Tim is way more wise than people like to admit.
The most simple are sometimes the mist examined. Lots of time for reflection or that lifestyle comes from deep introspection
Sir, they're called Beaver Nuggets. Lol 😄
Tim’s face at 2:18 destroys me!!
Tim is one of the best lol 😂
Fair point.
Growing up in the Alvin, Angleton, and Lake Jackson area where Bucees started, it's crazy to me to see how popular it has become. I wonder if it is more well known now than Nolan Ryan is
Tim sounds like he's never actually been to a Bucees but looks like he lives in one.
Sounds like you have to interview the next 100 people that buy bucee’s nuggets
2:07 YA GODDAMN RIGHT THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COUCH MAN AND ME
Daammmnnnn, Never heard of Tim Dillon before today. Now, I wanna be his friend.
Tim Dillon makes me cry.
Think about this clip every 4 days 😅😅😅😂
This insight right here is what shows that Tim is in his absolute prime right now. It's true, Rogan was the alt media when he started the podcast - now he is literally THE mainstream podcast.
Guys like Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, etc. all crossed that chasm to stardom. Bill Burr until a few years ago was in that spot - now he is also in the stardom shine. Chappelle avoids a lot of it by shying away - and when back he had that outsider's POV, but he is also back to peak stardom.
I have a theory that comedians are at their skilled prime right before hitting that superstar status - it's when the real comic fans rave about them and the broader mainstream audience is just discovering them. It's the cusp where they are successful enough, but not yet a household name. They are detached enough to still have a cynical POV but have enough experience to talk about all levels.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the superstardom - more power to them, its only a natural evolution. Nor, do they stop becoming funny... but... they aren't as funny as their prime.
That sweet spot of relatability and stardom.
I like to imagine they're just sitting at a really small table
Once there was a Mystical tree with an abundance of leaves. One leaf says to another leaf, " I'm so very afraid. It's getting colder and if the temperature keeps plummeting we will all surely die."
The other leaf says to the scared leaf,"Can't you see! You're not afraid because you're going to die, you're afraid because you've mistaken your stem for your roots. You're actually rooted much deeper than you believe."
Buckeys is not a good comparison to Walmart. The merchandise mark up at that gas station is almost the opposite of Walmart.
You missed the joke them. He meant not a business competitor but a certain type of customer competitor.
Buccees, in my experience, is the cheapest place you can go for convienience items. A lg route 44 fountain drink is like 79 cents. Now where on earth can you get a giant fountain drink for 79 cents? Go ahead ill wait
@@jowill76 I don't buy fountain drinks so I guess you got me. But I did pay almost $8 for a mediocre brisket sandwich. I haven't been back since. But I love the cracked out squirrel head.
@@kbab3333 no I didn't. I just added my perhaps not so funny joke perspective to it.
I love that sardonic overweight gay guy.
Tim is the best!
Tim telling it like it is, as usual
I love nuggets and the couch!
My first thought was "Are their legs hitting each other's under that table? Wtf? Why are they sitting that close?" 😅
Buckies is pretty good tho
Yeah it’s pretty damn awesome. I don’t buy their merch and all that, but a pulled pork samich and some nuggets on an quick pit stop is fantastic
It takes all types, Tim.
Took me 5 seconds to realize they were not sitting right next to Each other …
This is brilliant. I was not too familiar with Tim and his work, but he earned my respect with this. "I am doing what I love. I love Baki's nuggets and I love my couch." This is pure genius.
Don't fuck with Bucee's....That's a national treasure.
