Show notes
Making a living by telling jokes, takes making it through a life that’s no joke. Tim Dillon is a comedian, actor, and host of the Tim Dillon Show podcast. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine named him as one of the top 10 comics you need to know, and in 2022, he released his first Netflix standup special, 'Tim Dillon: A Real Hero’. In this conversation Tim and Steven discuss topics such as, how his mother’s illness inspired him to become funny, his addiction, how Generation Z has exposed society’s scams, and the mental health struggles that pushed him into becoming a comedian. 00:00 Intro 01:01 I Was a Closeted Gay Addict 02:23 Which One of Your Parents Were Depressed? 06:03 The Impact of Your Parent's Mental Illnesses on You 08:05 Your Parents' Divorce 11:32 Childhood Trauma & Taking Drugs 14:51 Hitting Rock Bottom 18:40 AA Meetings 22:15 Trying to Get Sober 23:27 Being a Juror on a Murder Crime 26:41 His First Open Mic Comedy Show 28:25 The Taboos in Comedy 32:20 Why You Don't Get Cancelled 35:09 The Podcasting World 38:42 What’s Up With the Different Generations? 47:09 What Are His Goals in Comedy 48:18 Have You Processed Your Trauma? 54:38 His Experience with Therapy 57:24 Coming Out as Gay & Dating 01:00:50 What Do You Love About Yourself? 01:04:00 Mental Health Coping Mechanisms 01:06:27 Elon Musk Buying Twitter 01:07:35 Social Media Criticism 01:08:46 Touring The World 01:14:03 What Happens in Hollywood? 01:16:40 Rising to the Top: The American Dream 01:19:51 New Generations Don't Work Hard 01:20:49 Remote Working 01:24:05 The Future of AI 01:29:26 Men's Mental Health 01:32:53 Andrew Tate's Influence 01:33:49 Who Should You Have Apologized to and You Didn't?
