Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. I don't love how much I'm hearing the term martial law. I
Don't love that. Tell you that much. You're hearing it a lot now
Gavin Newsom
Governor of California brought it up
You're hearing it. The press is bringing it up
And when you hear something like that
Over and over again, it feels like they're doing a soft launch
for martial law
You know
It feels like they're just
doing a little roll out
see how you
See how you react to the idea you can't do things like that all at once because it inspires widespread panic and chaos
Suspending the constitution and bringing in the military that tends to make people a little iffy
So what they do I think is they introduce you to the concept little by little
A little shelter in place
A little shutdown
And we start seeing people at public parks people working out people doing things
People still gathering together in groups and the government goes, you know, I don't know if we're going to be able to weather the storm here
without the tank
We might need the tank to come in and stop you from gathering in a park
You know, I'm no fan of martial law
I do understand the shelter in place
you know
And when I when I criticize the conspiracy community for saying that the virus isn't real or the virus is just the flu
Or the virus is a cover so that the government can arrest tom hanks
What I what I do
fully understand and i'm quite aware of
is that
When you have a problem like this like 9 11, which is so big
and knew
That you are going to have elements of the government
And the private sector you're going to have people
You know as rama mine
As rom immanuel said he was the chief of staff
Uh for barack obama and who is now the mayor of chicago or was i believe he still is the mayor of chicago as he said never
Let a crisis go to waste so
There are going to be people
That try to take the few remaining rights you have
So you have to be a little vigilant that doesn't mean you go cough down an old person's throat
Does it mean
You know you ignore
What's a clear reality, which is this is a
You know incredibly dangerous
virus
But it means that you're vigilant and you understand that no government
has ever
Emerged from a crisis with less power
Doesn't happen
Doesn't happen
The government now
Is growing
In power it's going to start to pay you
To live to stay home to sit in your house
It's gonna cut you a check
Yeah, you you don't have and and by the way i'm for that
People need that
But just let's think about this let's zoom out
for a little bit
And when we look at this we we go you are now dependent on the government
for
everything
for everything
They've taken your ability
in the short term
to earn a living
and
We i understand that in the short term
I understand the need to close things and i've told people to comply with this
But
There does come a point
where
You're going to see
You know, it's kind of like when you bring a car in
to a mechanic
And the mechanic is less than reputable
And you know, they're like, yeah, it's total, you know, we just we got we total out the car, you know
You bring it in, you know because we're headlights out and they're like, yeah, it's total you might as well
We're totaling the economy right now the world economy. I mean we are totaling the world economy. We are seeing
Uh a global depression take root. We are seeing
um
Potentially unemployment in the range of 20 percent
uh containment
has failed
The report's now out of new york and california if you have symptoms do not get tested
Unless you are in a very high risk group
And you're so sick that you have to go to the hospital. They are saving the tests
for health care workers
Doctors nurses first responders
People that are coming in contact with this virus and with sick people
All the time so at that point when you say testing we can't test anybody the containment model which is based on
Knowing who has this and who doesn't you know trying to contain it
You know the social distancing
the
Shelter in place
You know all of that
you know
Might have some positive effect. Hopefully it does
But a lot of people are skeptical
At this point about how much of a positive effect it will have we should still do it
We should still do it for the time being
But I think a lot of people are saying you got to move into mitigation
Which is basically the development the rapid development of antiviral drugs
You know, they're talking about chloroquine ion or something
I think I believe that's the name that was used to fight malaria
But I was reading about those the side effects on that last night. It could be blindness
And if you take an extra dose sudden death
You got it. Yeah, chloroquine ion. Yeah, if you take a sudden if you take an extra dose of that goodbye
So I don't know if that's the best idea to give to old people
I imagine that that'll be given to them in a hospital you take that with erythromycin
Which is a z-pack to get bronchitis you take a z-pack
Little erythromycin take the five day
You know two on the first day and then boom boom boom boom boom and it usually clears bronchitis
So if you take the chloroquine ion for malaria and the erythromycin it is beating back the virus
I have a friend who's a doctor at Lenox Hill Hospital who said that actually the results are pretty good
Does it mean, you know, Trump gets high marks here this is
you know
It's a colossal failure. It's a colossal failure to not
have the tests
To not order more supplies in january and february when you had the intelligence community warning you about this
When you were you didn't have to have the intelligence community warning you about it because you're watching it happen in another country
It's a tremendous failure. It's a fireable offense
Whether you love the guy or hate the guy, it's a fireable offense
Because it was done correctly in other countries. I mean, you know
South korea and again, I've no emotion here with this. I'm just telling you south. I'm not south korea, but yeah south korea
but taiwan
You know 24 million people one death 85 cases and that was up until recently
and i'm sure their numbers are
Pretty similar to 153 cases and uh four deaths. There you go
Or two deaths. Yeah
That's taiwan. They're right next to china, but they had been through sars. They knew what this was going to look like
They got the masks immediately. They ordered the supplies. They
Have made testing widely available. It's a high tech
Health service they have where you get the results to your phone
They text you
The results you know exactly where you stand and if you have to go quarantine. So fuck
I don't care how much you love this guy and how much you think he is essential
Or whatever fairytale you've concocted in your head about any of these people any of our leaders
That you love so much yet have never met
I mean all of these people would want nothing to do with you
The obamas the trumps. They wouldn't want anything to do with you. Can you imagine your disgusting?
family
Your marinara sauce covered fingers
Do you understand the way these people fucking look at you? When will you when do you think you people will wake up?
Is it when you're all in camps?
I mean truly
At what point do you understand that these people?
Fucking look at you like a fucking rat
Scurrying across a busy street
They're puzzled by you. They're confused almost
They watch you run across the street and if you make it they go, huh cool
And if you get hit by a car and you get squashed in the middle of the street, they go, haha
They don't necessarily rejoice, but it doesn't fuck up their day at all
I
Think we all need to grow up now. I really believe that I think if we don't grow up
We're gonna be in trouble as a species
and if we keep thinking
That these people give a fuck about us and that they care about us on any level at all
We're going to we're going to delude ourselves to death
And I think it's a big fucking problem
And I don't care whether it's aoc any of the people that we've elected
To be the narcissist of the week
And to tell us all how we live
how to live
All of these people are after for the most part their own power
And they're not really looking out for you. They believe things in the abstract that could help you
But when Bernie Sanders who I like and respect
You know treats joe biden like a statesman in that debate instead of turning around and going you are the fucking problem
How did trump get elected by going to jeb bush and destroying his own party trump destroyed the republicans
He destroyed the bush dynasty. They they they limped jeb limped out of those debates
That young bush still can't get elected in texas the little kid tried in a congressional race
The the the damage done to that name might be
irreparable
And they were the biggest political one of the biggest political dynasties in our country
and trump
got rid of him
And he did that by being rude
I mean he did that by saying things that made you go whoa
But you have bernie sander's kind of treating joe biden like a statesman because they're friends or whatever
trump was friends with hillary
He didn't care
He didn't care they were friends
He played golf with bill. They you know, he went to a wedding. He went to their wet like they they came to his wedding
He was friends with them. It didn't matter
Didn't matter to him
And yeah, you know, maybe sander says more integrity great
That doesn't win
That doesn't win it's very hard to root for the left because they they're so allergic to winning
They are so they are born losers. They are incapable of fucking winning
I mean trump may still win the next election
How hilarious is that?
We have a worldwide
preventable pandemic in this country
A stock market crash the likes which we haven't seen in a generation
And we're going into a global depression
And trump may still win
He might pull it out
He the record he has to run on is the worst record of any maybe president ever
I mean has anyone the wholesale destruction of the american economy and our complete way of life
We can't leave our houses
We all the whole country got suspended
And he still could pull it out does that give you an idea of how pathetic
The other side is
How they're quibbling and they're infighting is so repulsive
They're so annoying to most people
Even me who realizes and has realized that trump
Again is a hawkster
He's peddling his wares to people that you know see him as some type of avatar
but but essentially
He's a hawkster
If you don't see that even if you think he's funny
Even if you hate the other side
You you see trump as a hawkster
I think the difference is that a lot of people out there go. Yeah, but he's our hawkster
He's my like he's
He's ripping off everybody on behalf of us if that were only the case
If that were only the case I could be like great
But you can't leave your house
Because we didn't order the tests and the masks
Because he didn't care
See they want to spook the stock market by even talking about a pandemic
You know because it didn't matter because everything was good the gravy train was rolling along and you know
so again, it's a mistake if you if you're unwilling to admit that you're you've left the realm of logic and
Fine if you want to dwell
in
Your own world that you create and I think that that is where
You know, we are we are seeing these states like Philadelphia
I'm sorry cities like Philadelphia saying we're not going to prosecute. We're not going to arrest and jail people for
Uh crimes petty crimes and you know petty to them when you read the list includes burglary
auto theft vandalism property crime
so
I mean what's gonna start to happen in in Philadelphia and cities across the country that are unable
To deal with the increased spike in crime
That is almost certain to happen
With it kind of goes along with the destruction of the American economy arise in crime
20 unemployment
they're talking
What you're gonna see
In cities like that is you're gonna throw their hands up and they're gonna wait for the federal government to roll the tanks in
They're gonna say listen. We don't have the resources
To handle this put bring in the tanks and that's why you're hearing the term martial law
The states are not going to be able to handle this especially in high crime areas where the crime is going to explode
The country folks
Does not look the same after this
Not trying to be alarmist here
But it doesn't look the same it does not emerge in the same way
You're going to see the rich and they've already done it. They're fleeing to the hamptons
To marthas vineyard
They're going behind gates
They know
They knew before this happened probably they had a inkling that something was coming
I mean, I know there's a very wealthy guy in new york who's close to a billionaire
And I know somebody very close to him and this guy was told in february
That he would maybe not have to pay rent on on some of his properties his commercial establishments and
He should get out of the market or reduce his positions in the market. This was you know
Several senators
Are claiming of course that they did not
You know sell these stocks or change their positions because of inside information. That's a complete lie. They should be hung
I mean, it's as close to treason as I can think about somebody
profiting off the deaths
Of their fellow countrymen and and not informing
Uh anybody that this was going to happen and certainly not doing anything from their position of power in the government
To reduce the likelihood it would happen
Just going in there
And profiting from it. It's disgusting
Now all the republicans in the beginning it was like one guy should resign
But then you found out that all the senators did it and four of them are republicans and everybody's like
Well, maybe this one guy should resign because they don't want to lose control of the senate
But this is
You know
pretty disgusting
If you fall on a partisan if you're still thinking in terms of left to right republican or democrat in this period of time
You're wrong. You're wrong. I feel bad for you because you're going to step on your throat
It has nothing to do with the blue or red or republican or democrat left or right. That is a show
This is a show
Okay, the people that that have money and power right now
Are going to get richer
They're going to get more powerful and they're going to leave you and your family to starve. This is absolutely the case
It's happening already and if you're still thinking that well half of them give a fuck about you
I mean god
What would do it folks? Do they have to FaceTime you and tell you how much they don't give a fuck?
Do they have to FaceTime you and go hi
Mr. And Mrs. Who is this? Is this the uh
Fantosies is this the millers?
Is this the dominix?
Is this the parkers? Hey
We just want to call you up and let you know you're on your own
Here. Did you not did you not get that?
Did you not see that with all the you know with us selling our stock?
Did you
Can we stop doing the fucking press conferences too? Who who are they who is?
Feeling better after that
That little doctor fouchy who's probably a good dude, but he's a tiny little man
We have no there is no time for short people right now. Sorry
Nobody is being made to feel better by a tiny little doctor
Give me somebody's six fucking two who looks like they can take this thing on
Little fouchy looks like coronavirus
He's a tiny little man. Nobody feels good about that at this moment
Short people are great in good times
But when times are tough you want to look at somebody tall to lead you through who sees above the crowd
Who is this woman who comes out in a night dress who looks like she's on percussa?
Who's it's just like my daughters?
My daughters who are two I have two beautiful millennial daughters
They're the most important generation millennials
I have two daughters. It's like who the fuck is this bitch?
Who is this and then you have trump and then pence
Stone face in the back
And then of course they bring out, you know Pompeo who just wants to be you know the secretary of state
We used to run the CIA and
What he just wants to be just sitting eating a french dip sandwich
That poor guy's like what the fuck is this?
I thought we were just blackmailing people
Taking photos of them fucking underage people
What's pandemic?
They're wholly unprepared
And the country is unprepared for what's about to happen
There's no way to be prepared
For what's about to happen. What's about to happen?
Is going to be truly
astounding
for a lot of people
cities are going to
turn pretty quickly
into mad max
Situations there's going to be shortages. There's going to be an increase in crime. They're probably going to declare
Martial law
Some version of that. I don't see in certain areas of the country
I don't see how that doesn't happen. It seems inevitable
That if things continue the way they are continuing
All the big finance people the Goldman Sachs guys are all being told it's an 18 month pandemic with waves of sick people
Waves of where we can all go back to work
I'm sure that looks great by the way
I'm sure everybody's really excited like, you know ways where we have to shut down again
It's just going to be cyclical
And when we all go back to work, it's I don't think it's going to be boom times. I got to be honest with you
I don't think it's going to quite feel the same. I think people are still going to be
like
you know
What are we doing?
They're going to think long and hard about
where they go
How they spend their money
What risk they're willing to take what level of risk they're willing to take concert comedy show restaurant
You know
Beach these are all different things
We're all going to know people who pass away tragically from this disease. It's going to be emotionally scarring
It's going to damage the psyche of people
Not only individually, but the country's psyche
And I think unfortunately the reality of how bad things are is going to push people further into
Their own world
It's going to push them further
Into conspiracy
Further into
You know
Cult religion
Things that give people
Some level of hope or at least a way to organize
the world
And it's going to get bad and I think that
When people are confronted with chaos, they need something
and
I think for the good of the country
It has to be this show
It has to be the patreon the tim dillon show
It has to be the merch
I don't think it can be anything else
I I worry
About you being taken in
By charlatans out there online. There's a lot. There's a lot of problems
There's a lot of
Bad actors
In the digital space just waiting for you
Come here
Come here
We're giving you the information
We're giving you the perspective
I don't want to be hopeless. There are good things coming
Celebrities and politicians will die. That's nice
That will be fun to see and watch if we are still alive to watch that happen
That will be amusing
Good things are going to come of this
I'm telling you real housewives are going to die
That will be fun
For all of us
From what I see the disease clearly does not discriminate
So there's going to be some annoying people that are gonna get it
And they're gonna go
Bye-bye
And that might
Keep us sane for a little while because good people are gonna go people you love are gonna go
People you respect are gonna go but then other people are gonna go
To it's the little things
It's the small victories that you can't lose sight of in these times
You should put pictures on your wall of people you hope get it
And when one of them does put a check
Have a drink eat a good meal
I'm of course
Joking about celebrating the deaths of others, but am I?
And how bad will it get where we need some form of entertainment as cryptic as that sounds as
Depressing as that may be as inhumane as you might find that to be
We're going to need light at the end of the tunnel and it is not going to come
From the powers that be they are not going to help you your community might help you your friends and your family
Might help you your your
Local government could help you
The powers that be
Are going to make a mad dash for the hills
They're gonna grab their money and their families and they're gonna fucking they're gonna head out to the lifeboats
It's going to happen. This isn't
This isn't a debate. This isn't left or right
Don't look for these people to show you a way out of this fucking mess. It's not gonna happen
Comedians get off instagram live
For the love of god
Especially unsuccessful ones
Especially ones that failed at the real thing
Ones that couldn't do it when you had a stage and an audience get the fuck off instagram live
Nobody wants your thoughts now enough
Comedy couldn't be less essential funny. Yes funny. We all need funny comedy. No
The entertainment business is about to get gutted
If you are in the business and you've done well enough
You'll probably make it through if you survive but your relationships are going to change
Your business relationships are going to change how you do business is going to change
How you attract a following
Is going to change how you make money at this business is going to change
It's absolutely going to change if you're independent
The only way out of this is being
Self-sufficient you cannot rely on anybody anymore for anything
And this is particularly aimed at people in creative fields. You're not
The the sitcom bullshit the pilot you thought you were gonna get
The tour you were going on. I mean everything unfortunately
Uh, you know is sand through the hourglass. It's fuck. All you can do
right now
Is have something valuable for other people and find a way to deliver it to them and that is not
Going on instagram live with you to act
With you stand up act for the love of christ
Jesus christ
Does anyone right now want to see a half decent comedian perform to an empty room
What psychopath
Wants that who are you all performing for it's over it's over
What the fuck do you think happens next you get noticed
On instagram live and then what?
What happens then?
They lead you with a mask through the gates of paramount studios
It's curtains
Collect your belongings and go check out is at 11 a.m
There is no late check out today the rooms are booked
Get the fuck out the vacation has ended
Your meaningless life
Is no longer public consumption
Go back put your privacy settings go reestablish some relationship that matters before it all goes black
Some of the things i've seen have been good
But the majority the majority of them have not
And i feel for people. Oh, it's not so easy to do what logan paul does is it?
You all
Thought you were slick and you shit it on youtubers
And now you're all trying to be youtubers
As the gypsy and thinner the steven king movie said die clean die clean
Die clean white boy. That's what he said
Some of you
Have no clue what's coming because you trust the government and the media
Because you're children
Or you're insane
They know things we don't know they're trying to avoid widespread panic. They're trying to avoid chaos
They know this is a lot worse than they're even letting on
They know maybe this thing's mutated. Who knows
It's taking out people left and right and it doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why
Maybe it's just that it's a novel virus. We don't have immunity people's systems. Some can handle it
Some can't but how terrifying is that that is why they're like, well, it's mainly elderly people
You know mic pent said the other day he goes the majority of americans don't need to worry about getting this
There's no there's no statistics to back that up
There's none
What the ones out of china italy there's a thousand people a day or died
That's spanish flu
China we don't know what the fuck's going on. You can't trust the media
So we have the vice president going. Yeah, most people don't have anything to worry about when contracting this disease
There are no numbers to support that. We don't know that that's the case
We don't know what's the death toll in italy right now
4,825 yeah
A lot of dead people
Yesterday there was 793 and it's not over. I know you know if we if we if we were closing the book out people go
4,000 so what I don't know anybody with coronavirus. Do you know how many people die of gunshot wounds?
You know how many people die of other things like the flu is isn't over. We're just beginning the movie has just started
We're barely through the previews
You don't know what's coming
We don't need a lot of people to die to unleash
martial law
And to doom the economy
You don't need a lot of people to die to collapse the health care system
You don't but I do think you're gonna see sadly a lot more people die
I mean, what are the what are the totals right now? We usually do the totals in the beginning, but let's do them now
301
627,000
So we just passed the 300,000 mark and then the death 300,000 worldwide. Yeah, the deaths are about to hit 13,000
We're at 12,955
America what are the totals in america?
In the usa we have wouldn't be funny if like at an old-time rock
DJ like there was this guy cousin brucey
who 101.1 when I was growing up was like
Like that type of old school
And he'd be like, hey, it's cousin brucey
And it would be just be funny if like in the dystopian nightmare that we live and he's like, hey, baby
It's cousin brucey giving you the totals
Giving you the totals. We got about 23,000 deaths right now
Now how about rocking out to the four seasons?
Um, where are we in america?
We have uh, 22,813 cases and uh, 288 deaths
I can't wait for coronavirus to musical
coronavirus to musical
Can you see it?
Broadway stage opens 2023
People are standing there. It's kind of like rent if you if you remember rent the stage
is
You know, there's no real set
There's just some garbage cans and some stuff and you know, there's a catwalk and
It's kind of plain and there's just like people standing on the stage and
you know
2023 coronavirus to musical, you know, the first number everybody's standing there just like
You know, they're doing it on the beat they go
Doodaloo
Doodaloo
Doodaloo
What was that? What was that? I heard about a pandemic happening
What was that Wuhan china? What was that pandemic bat flu plague plague in a bat flu?
And then you know, I mean it's coming
It's coming
Where are the tests we thought we had the tests?
Just doctors and nurses singing
By the way, isn't the worst thing about this that we have to treat doctors and nurses with reverence and respect
Is there anybody more annoying than doctors and nurses?
Let's be honest
I mean, I know that now they're essential, but I wish they weren't
I wish we were relying on like blackjack dealers or people that I like
Doctors and nurses they're almost as bad as teachers
Imagine if we had to imagine if we all had to glorify teachers during this. Oh my god
I would just go kill me now
I do like I you know, it's just doctors are you know, they're pompous
doctors are pompous
And nurses as well think they're doctors
It's not all of them, but it's a fair amount of them and many people in the medical
field agree with me
I'm just saying I wish we were
Relying on another group that we had to exalt, you know
I don't know who
You know people that work at clam bars
Like fat women who ladle clam chowder into a cup. I wish they were the front lines and we could be like, yeah
I support I support donna
I mean
You know folks
You you have to remember
When all this is happening that you're living through a
Historic time. I love that. Isn't that people tell you that like it's a good thing
You're living through a historic time. This is historic
This is a historic time. It is a historic time. You know, so was the holocaust
Was historic. You think they walked around Auschwitz ago. You know what we have to remember
We're living in a historic time
We really are
We just get to see it all up close. You think they talked about that? Probably not
But what do I know?
you know
I'm itching. I'm itching to get out there and do live stand-up comedy again, but it's just not going to happen
It's not going to happen for a while
And even when it does happen who the fuck knows what it's going to look like
You know
What's Billie Eilish up to she was on tour too
Google hitting news on Billie Eilish. What's she doing? She always wore that mask anyway. She was prepared
Remember she always had that bane mask on her face. What's she up to?
I mean, it looks like she's just on the voice right now
The voice battle rounds Billie Eilish, Whitney Houston more songs and pairings
I mean to put Billie Eilish and Whitney Houston in the same sentence. I mean imagine what a decaying society we are
How deserving are we of a plague?
To put those two
Whitney Houston one of the greatest voices ever
Who did exactly what a musician should do entertain the fuck out of us and then died in the tub
Didn't stick around for too long. Well, isn't the voice people covering stuff? Who knows?
But that's probably not that recent
They they shut down says one day ago. Really? Yeah, but didn't they shut down the production of all of these shows?
I guess they shot him so long ago. Yeah
That's the other thing that Jimmy Fallon's doing the tonight show from his house to view, you know
Whoopi Goldberg's like Skyping it in the view enough
I mean
I don't want to you know, I don't want to be uh
The bringer of bad news
But just shut it down
I mean, are we gonna be living under martial law and still watching Jimmy Fallon?
Is that what's gonna happen here?
Are we gonna be living under martial law and still watching carpool karaoke?
Shut it down have the decency to treat us like real dictators and just have state tv
Which is what that is by the way Fallon and cordon that is state tv
I mean
Am I gonna look out my window?
See a tank rolling down the street and then turn on my tv and see ellen dancing
At what from our living room?
At what point do these people just go the fuck home and stay there turn off the webcam and let us all be
Let us be please
Give us a few months without you
I mean
I mean, can you imagine it jimmy fallon going outside?
ellen dancing with the military
jimmy fallon taking pictures with the tank that's parked at the end of his block
I
Mean at what point can we just can we can we request that they shut the entertainment industry off?
Shut it off
They should be martial law on instagram
You should have to get approval for the military
to post
That's what should happen that fucked me up. They wouldn't give me any fucking we'd have to go onto the dark web
We'd have to live stream on the dark web
Is that does anyone ever do that? No
I mean, that's what a red room is supposed to be. Yeah, that's not real
It's not real
That's what america is about to become by the way a red room supposed to wear
You torture and kill people and the people in the comments are like kill him get his leg
It's like there's a torture chamber and you get to say what you want done to the person if you donate money like a super chat
On youtube get his leg
Pin his leg back. It's like not real
but
Who knows who knows what entertainment will be considered
after this
Every company in this country right now should be making ventilators everybody and some of them are to their credit
Every fucking company should be hagan das. Whoever make fucking ventilators
You're gonna need a lot of ventilators. You're gonna need masks make fucking masks
You know
This should have been happening months ago
You know, what good is it to call yourself the greatest country in the world and they get beaten by taiwan?
at survival
you know
How does that happen?
How does it happen that all you do is call yourself you pat yourself on the back for being the greatest country in the world
taiwan figures out a way to do it. You can't taiwan
I mean
That's amazing to me
It's amazing to me how strong
And virulent like nationalism is that there are still people walking around be like i love this country
Relatives are dead in the street
I love this country
I love that I can't get tested for this thing. I may or may not have
It's a death wish large segment of the population in this country wants to die
They want to die
They were brought up thinking that the glory would come after they died that this life
Was a mere rehearsal for the next one. This is what religion pounds into the heads of people while they're still kids and that's why
Many of those people grow up and they
Keep that belief and they treat their bodies and everything else like shit
And they don't care because as soon as you know as soon as they have the glorious aneurysm or heart attack
You know and they fall on the floor of denny's. That's when things get good
That's when things get good
That's when it gets fun
Our
Friend our friend is calling who is it?
Alex we'll call him later
I will say this
You know
I I really truly
Every day get up and go should I get the fuck out of los angeles?
Should I get the fuck out of terminator?
Should I get the hell out of here and I don't know
I don't know
I believe that
I don't think anywhere is going to be safe
Truly if it goes as bad as it could and will go
potentially
What'll save us is some antivirals
Laura quinine little remdesivir
What'll save us
Is some antivirals perhaps perhaps
That becomes essential
The erythromycin and the chloroquine and I hope it works. I hope it works
But I mean
And then we then we have a where's joe biden by the way. Where is joe biden has joe biden?
He's running for the presidency. He's running for the highest office in the land. He's disappeared
He's he's his handlers are keeping him out of the spotlight because they know he'll will make a mess of this
I mean, I've had a joke on my actor
I said the trump biden debate is a debate where we don't need a country anymore
We squeeze we call china like a kid at a sleepover that's not working out and calls his parents and goes hey come now
Just come now leave now. I'm ready now. We're ready now
There are people
Saying they're getting out of the chinese quarantine and americans living in china xpats and
Who knows if they're writing these you know updates with a gun in their head?
Things are better. The bright futures ahead, you know
They just got a guy with a gun in your head. You're sitting in the room staring a chairman mouse photo on the wall
You're just typing. They just come in with a laptop macbook. Sit it down and go tell everybody how good it is
Tell everyone outside how much fun we're all having
This has been fun. He says that they take your temperature everywhere now. That might be the future
infrared technology
In order to get into an event, you might not be able to get into an event with a fever
Anymore, it's interesting if you have a fever if you're feverish if you're over a hundred
They might just say you're not getting into this concert. You're not coming in. It's interesting. That might be the future the future
I mean the I mean, when the comings was telling me she was going back from new york to la and the flight
She said was full. No one spoke to each other
Everybody was wiping down the plane. There was no service the flight attendants did not speak to them and the pilot did not make any announcements
It was like a crazy
Flight it was amazing. You know when I heard that I was like, what a fucking amazing
Thing to to go through to witness because I've flown so many times and that has never been the case, you know
I imagine even after 9-11 they made
Comments and they talked to you but right now the level of fear is so
High that nobody, you know
There was no communication between the flight attendants
The pilot and the passengers on the plane
Everybody was just sitting there
You know wheels up six and a half hour flight wheels down
And then get off the plane and run
It the future doesn't look like the past did especially in the past
Like the past did especially in the in the way
You know, I was watching these shows on netflix is this good show called restaurants on the edge
and
Where they just go to restaurants that are in beautiful locations
But are failing
Because the food sucks. They're poorly designed
And what happens is netflix goes three people go they have a designer a restaurateur and a chef
They help redesign the menu
They help redesign the restaurant and you know, you know, obviously all these restaurants probably still fail because the idiots
As soon as the netflix team leaves they go back to doing it their way, you know
You know all this actually, you know, and then the you know, it was whatever
But i'm watching these chefs walk through these open air
Markets to buy produce and to buy and there's fish and you know
Fowl, you know birds and there's all kinds of things and you're saying yourself
You know, obviously that is the reality for most of the world is these, you know, wet markets these markets where live animals are sold
You know, and then people walk through them and they take photo. I mean, are you gonna? I mean does that
Continue
Are you gonna go walk through those markets anymore? Are you gonna try something in one of those markets?
somebody hands you a piece of fruit
I mean not that it's any better here. I'm not I'm not an idiot
I know that things sitting in a supermarket are as likely to make you sick as anything
But just the idea of walking through a market you see live animals
You see like is that are you gonna do that? Are you gonna hop up? You know, you're gonna go on a cruise
Are you gonna go on a cruise right now?
Are you gonna eat it buffets?
Are you gonna do all of that stuff?
Is that does that survive do those things survive a pandemic? Probably people got to go somewhere to be disgusting animals
But I mean, you know travel there's travel take a hit to people go. I'm good
I'm good
Or do people just say fucking I'm I'm gonna go I'm gonna go anyway. I don't care
That becomes the real question is what does the world look like? I'm talking best case
Because worst case forget it. I mean we've already went through that
We're talking martial law. We're talking crime. We're talking the cities are abandoned
We're talking the rich fleet of their bunkers and that all looks to be the case
But let's imagine we get on the other side of that or the effects of that somehow miraculously don't materialize fully
On the other side of that, you know, are you allowed into an arena with a fever?
Going forward if it is an 18 month pandemic
That's cyclical where there's waves of sick people. Are you allowed into a restaurant with a fever?
Are you allowed into a movie theater with a fever?
Fascinating shit to think about
How does life change
And then we get into the scary stuff and you know what that is the chips
the bio the bio
security stuff
You know
Do we do they put a chip in yesterday? You know how sick you are
And if they don't like your behavior, do they just deactivate the chip? They just deactivate you
I mean that's been those nano chips the idea of putting that under your skin was so that they had all your health information
So that now in a world where anyone trusted the government
It's really not a bad idea on its face
Like if you collapse in a walmart and they come up to you and there's a chip that says this guy's diabetic
He's this he's that he's got this he's got that and they don't have to wait to find all that information out
So you either regain consciousness or they can get your relatives on the phone the idea that that's all in a
In a you know, there's a convenience there, but then how but but jesus christ
How much are you giving up for that?
How much are you giving up for that giving all of your medical information to a government and letting them install a chip in you
And then trusting that they can't do horrible things to you
With you know because they have access to that chip
Again on its face great idea. That's an idea. That's like, you know
But that's that's what comes down the pike what biotech firms right now are developing
uh
different types of
you know diagnostic tools for
concert venues arenas sporting events
what
Restaurants public places resorts amusement parks what biotech firms are going to go out there and start thinking about
how to
You know, and maybe it's short term. Maybe it's long term. Maybe it's forever
But if it is an 18 month pandemic with waves of things and you are and you have a you know
You're a property that's insured and your insurance company is my company and go you need to figure out a way to prevent sick people from coming in here
You know
We got to insulate ourselves against the liability. We got a
It's fascinating. It's very interesting to think about
you know
We're we're we're going through some changes here the studio. We're going to uh, we're going to modernize the studio broadcasting has become
Is the future right here? This is the reality
Um, we talked about this the other night since live stand-up has been put on hold indefinitely
um, we are going to
Modernize the studio. We're going to get a uh, we're going to get a nice big television in here
We're going to be able to pull up media in live time. I'm in real time whatever
We're going to be able to
Uh, bring you a better show
um, especially um now it's super important that
um
We are able to you know, not only have some fun but get out, you know information or kind of we all need to stay on top of what the
Fuck's going on, you know
So we're going to be able to you know, interview people on on on on skype
And we're going to be able to pull up articles and pull up videos and things like that and that's coming down the pike
We appreciate that
We also appreciate
Oh
This one too, huh? Oh, we'll do that at the very end. Okay. That one's audio only
You two will get mad if we do that
So the studio is going to we appreciate everybody that's that's contributing on patreon
Um, we know that everybody is in a bad spot right now. Most people are in a bad spot
We know that you don't have a lot of fucking money
And that's why we're trying to put out as much free content as possible a lot of these free podcasts on our youtube
You know channel. We also put out videos and everything on instagram and twitter tim j dylan di l l o n on instagram and twitter
And all the content in this podcast will always be free. You'll always get
One podcast a week free. You'll always get a youtube one or two
Uh, youtube's, you know, either an extra episode and then also a live stream that we do where you can ask questions
All of those things are always going to be free. The only thing you'll ever have to pay for
Is if you want the patreon
episodes and there there's a lot of archives there there's like, you know
100 and 70 70 archived episodes 170 hours of content you can sift through and a lot of interesting
interviews with a lot of people
um
And you know, it's it's for five dollars a month. It's a pretty good deal, but I totally get it if you don't have it
and
You know, if you don't have it, we're still pumping out a lot of free stuff. Don't worry about it
You know, we want you to get yourself right
Most important thing is for you to be financially. Okay
Uh during this thing we're going to try to figure out
The best way to start donating some money to people or organizations. I spoke to andrew schultz
about it
Right now a lot of us are focusing on people that have been directly affected that in our industry
So waiters and waitresses at comedy clubs are fucked right now
And those are the people that allowed us to
Earn a living being comedians, you know, they were the support staff. They brought you drinks. They brought you food
um, and they helped those
Operations run
They made those operations run
So we're helping those people now, but of course the scope of that
You know, it's going to get bigger. We're going to look for other ways to you know
contribute money to
Um people in real time that need it whether it's food banks or stuff like that because things are going to get ugly
And they are going to get bad
And if you do have money and you do have the wherewithal
To kind of give people, you know, you can't volunteer right now. Nobody wants you to leave your fucking house
So the reality is if you do have the money the money helps that's kind of going to be but
I am also very careful about
Where you give money because there's a lot of institutions out there
That misuse funds and misuse money. So we're all going to have to figure out together
How exactly we
Um go forward with that and I'm speaking to some other comedians, you know, I rogue and a bunch of people that are
You know, you know that help a lot of different people, but we're all trying to figure out
What's the best?
Way forward
You know the next two to three weeks are going to tell us a lot
They're going to tell us if the health care system completely collapses
They're going to tell us
If you know, probably if we're heading into
Uh more of a severe lockdown something that looks or not that looks it is a martial law
um
These things are all on the table. I don't know that we have to freak out about them because you don't really have control over them
But the idea of you know, the election getting pushed back or being canceled
uh, the idea that
You know come november people are not going to be able or feel comfortable voting getting together and you know
All of these things are going to change our lives for a foreseeable period. It's not conspiracy mongering to say that we are
You know in you know, the survival of the country right now is not guaranteed and I and I don't I don't say that
You know to joke around and I don't say that to be
Dramatic or to be an alarmist the the survival of the country that we are living in right now
in any
And by the way, the country in the sense that it looks or feels like anything you remember is not guaranteed. It's not
It's truly not and the people at the top know that
We're at the precipice of something
very very
Challenging and
If you see huge spikes in crime if you see a global depression
um, if you see a loss of faith in the government
Which I don't know how you don't see more of I think it's because people are afraid right now
So they're kind of ignoring certain things the insider trading and stuff like that. I think people are
You know
You know burying your heads in the sand, but if you see those things happen, I mean
this these are the ingredients
that
you know
bring about
A fall
and
We see that and I'm hoping that doesn't happen and I'm hoping that we're able to weather it but
It is not at all irresponsible
to float
those
Possibilities because they are real possibilities a real
possibility
That your city and local governments collapse
because of this
And that the federal government then rolls in the tanks and you don't have any more rights
And it's not the america that you remembered and the rich
uh go to planned communities where they have rights
And you don't and they have the technology and they are able to weather the storm for however long it is
you know
and you
You know sitting there in a perkins
You know or denny's or pizza hut are not going to weather the storm because you are going to be left
to
unfortunately perish
By the people that you put so much faith in and what will prevent that?
bonds with your family with your friends
When the time comes, you know not right now, but when the time comes probably there will be you know
I mean
It will be some time
There might be some type of organized resistance to what happens. I don't know
I'm saying
You know
I you know, it's it's funny because it's not you know, we have to laugh at these things. I mean, we are laughing at them, but
no
if
Rich powerful people leave us all to die
You know, you might have to go and visit them. I don't know
I'm just saying I am not
You know
I am not trying to sound the alarm here other than to say if you aren't going over these possibilities in your head
What is happening in your head?
What is happening in your head?
I'd love to know
I mean if you're not going over the real possibility
That these people are gonna pull
the ladder up
I don't know what
Is it the ladder up? Is that the expression? Yeah. Yeah
I don't know what you think is happening. I don't know what you imagine
is gonna happen
You better hope chloroquine on works
You better hope remdesivir works and this might be as rogan said the other day. It might be a dress rehearsal
because the next pandemic
You know
But maybe maybe we'll be prepared probably not
um
I'm gonna be the hollywood improv this weekend headlining. Fuck them. We're gonna do it
We're gonna do it
To cough minimum
Ha ha, but those are the hack jokes that are going on on instagram right now where people should be taking out shots
So
I mean
Be careful the content you put out be careful the content you consume
You know
You know, I I wonder how it's all gonna play out. It's very interesting
I you know, the one thing that'll save us. This is literally what I believe. This is truly what I believe
I think the one thing that saves us is that the robots are not good enough yet
If the robots could do all the things these people wanted
Oh, goodbye
I mean truly if ai and automation like if ai was at the point where
ai could do
Most of what the wealthy needed done
I would be like in total panic mode
I think that we're still some years from that happening. That might be the only thing that saves us
It's not about democrat or republican
It's not about any of that. It's about this is just a strong survive in in the sense. This is darwinian
and
That's what
You're seeing right now as you're seeing nature
You know as chris hedges said the other day we're in the middle of the sixth extinction or whatever
This was a year before this even happened
So
I mean, I'm not don't don't be too anxious. Don't be too depressed. Don't use too many mind-altering substances
Stay sober. Keep your mind sharp. You're going to need it
I'm hoping the worst doesn't happen
I'm cautiously optimistic
Only because robots cannot do all of the jobs yet
I don't I don't think it's you know
It's like I don't I don't I don't I'm not trading on empathy here. I'm like, thank god. We're a little behind
Um
But you know keep your wits about you out there
it's
It's it's not going to be pretty
and uh
We appreciate you listening
you know
Reality really caught up with this show
Really did and one of the reasons that the show has always kind of been darker
Is not because i'm some prophet or you're like I you know, I didn't I don't live in that headspace all the time
I'm funny and I but when you look around
Society I always saw it as somewhat fragile. I think other people didn't
I think that's what it comes down to. I always looked at the institutions of society
How corrupt they were
The fools that were running the show and I always said to myself these are fragile institutions. It really wouldn't take
much
And now you're kind of seeing that
This is how that manifests
when you're led by sociopaths
and clowns and goons
And people that just really want money and power and they just enrich themselves
And there's no checks on them and there there's no democratic process that fucking means anything
and everything is you know being sold to the highest bidder and everything's about the consolidation of power and it's a
You know a partnership of the public and the private sector. It's the you know corporate state
As hedges and other people have said when it gets so all-powerful
I mean you look at it and you go. Yeah, this is something that's just
so corrupt
So incompetent and yet also very ruthless
You know and it lacks any empathy
Uh, you look at a society that's like that and you go. Yeah, there's the potential here for some real problems
And we have children licking toilet seats on planes. I mean, this is where we're at
It's not a
You know, I'm not making that up. This is there are people
licking
The toilet seats on planes because they're treating this as a joke. It's a profoundly
Disturbed society
I read today there's kids coughing on fruit as a joke in the store
It's a profoundly
sick
and disturbed
society
And I if you don't believe that please point me to the evidence
Please show me
The evidence because I got a lot
I got exhibit a b c d e the whole alphabet
So show me your evidence when we have kids licking the toilet seats on planes
Tell me by the way, fuck the pandemic
Fuck that they're gonna get a pandemic or that they're making their you know that they're putting old people at risk
Or that they're selfish forget all about that
What if they were just licking the toilet seats on planes?
How about that?
Let's ignore the social context
What if kids young people young adults were licking the toilet seats on an airliner and putting it on social media?
And you're telling me we are not a profoundly
These are the people that was pointed out by Whitney Cummings the other day on her podcast that last year we're eating
Tidepods they were eating soap because they like the colors and how it felt in their mouth
And you're telling me we are not a profoundly
sick and disturbed
Society they're eating soap
And now they're licking the toilet
And this is the future
Okay
I feel bad for coronavirus
That it has to infest us
Hopefully we fucking get ahead and beat this thing
I really really really want life to go back to the way it was but
This unmasks the whole thing if you're fucking thinking
If you're looking around at how people are responding to this how fragile it all is this unmasks the whole
Thing if you're fucking awake
You see how unsustainable
Our lives are not only the systems
which we've created
but
How unsustainable our beliefs are
The idea that we're safe and the people that know more than us
Are figuring things out on our behalf
Is not the case
It's not the case now I coronavirus tried to buy an ad on this show
And I declined
You know I was contacted by somebody who said corona wants to advertise on the show
COVID-19 wants to advertise because they think they're getting a bad rap in the media
And he goes if anyone would understand
Population control it's your listeners
So
COVID wants to come up and kind of just talk for a little bit and they're like you want to interview COVID. I'm like not really
not really
um
But good luck out there folks. It's gonna be a fun
Couple of months would put not as much free content as we can
Hope you and your family are safe
really try to get out there and
You know, but take some time to read some books
Read some books. How do we get here? Read the devil's chessboard. David Talbot read family secrets
Russ Baker read other things read tragedy and hope carol quigley history of you know the world in our time read
Horlitz ghost by norman mail or any of these things
You know read books like sapiens read other things read books that I don't even know you know read books that uh
about biology and
Epidemiology, I don't know but you know figure out how we got here
Figure out how most of our our our social media feeds are clogged up between a game show host
Mr. Trump and a bartender miss go Cortez
And how those two people we've decided that they are going to be our avatars. They are going to be the people that
Speak on our behalf. How do we get here?
How did that happen? How did it happen?
It's not an accident didn't happen by accident
it's a long
process of kind of giving up little by little
little by little taking a hand off the wheel
and just cruising and
coasting
And this is where it leads you
This is where it leads you when you just take your your foot off the gas and you just let it go
This is where you end up
so when you have the time
go and do a little reading
and figure out exactly
How and then read about other empires and how they fell
And you start to go. Oh, wow. This sounds familiar
You know, everybody's obsessed with sex and food
We you know, they make celebrities out of shafts. I mean read about the fall of Rome. It's fucking wild
you know
so
again
Hopefully we make it over this hurdle
hopefully
I'm somewhat
I'm somewhat in the middle. I don't know
could could be good
Could be you know lord of the flies
We don't know
We don't know but if we do
We could look forward to coronavirus to musical
We could look forward to
so many
shitty
movies
We could look forward to a bangin
Netflix doc
Kids in 10 years would be smoking weed in their dorms watching a bangin documentary
about COVID-19
You know if there are dorms
And if there are kids
Good luck
