#1610 - Snowpocalypse with Tim Dillon

Jamie (0:20)

I'm back in the saddle again.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Great. There's no apocalypse, Tim Dillon.

Hey, holding up, did I move you out here at a bad time, do you think?

Tim Dillon (0:28)

I mean, we considered suing you.

I was sitting there going, can I take legal action against him? Like I called a lawyer and apparently I cannot.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Listen, I'll give you free meals every time we go out forever.

Tim Dillon (0:42)

We were, I mean, I was on a bread line two days ago.

My opener flies into town. We're going to fly out for shows. All the flights grounded. We can't go anywhere. I mean, we're waiting outside of a supermarket for an hour, and then we're eating fish sticks in the dark of my house with no power. And I'm like, you know, Joe fucking Rogan, man.

This was a real fucking leap of faith, but it's looking better today.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

It'll be fine.

Tim Dillon (1:07)

It'll be fine.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

It was a once in, they're calling it a once in 120 year storm.

But I think what that means is like ever recorded. Like you go back to 1800 So what we're talking about, or 1900 rather, like when, what was the, what kind of fucking instruments were they?

Tim Dillon (1:24)

Yeah. What were they? What were they jotting down?

Jamie (1:26)

Rums almanac was the big thing back in those days. And I don't think they have.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

How did that work?

Because that fucking thing was apparently kind of accurate. It's kind of witchcrafty.

Tim Dillon (1:33)

It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Yeah, they would predict like next year's winter cycles and harvests and things like that.

Tim Dillon (1:40)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

What did they do? How did it work?

Tim Dillon (1:42)

It was just wild driving around Texas and seeing nothing but snow.

And you, it looked like Vermont. It looked like you were in the Northeast, but it didn't. It was like wild to be in Texas driving around and nothing was open. So like gas stations weren't open, fast food wasn't open. Nothing was open. You know?

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Tell you what was open. The Houston airport and my boy Ted Cruz is like, yeah, he was out.

Tim Dillon (2:08)

And by the way, isn't it sad that like he couldn't get away with it?

It's like, here's the thing about the Bush family. Say what you want about them. Maybe walk to Kennedy by guns, but I mean now our leaders can't even get caught taking a commercial flight to Cancun. Like that's pretty sad.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

But here's the thing. Like what can he do?

What is the what is the reason for him staying?

Tim Dillon (2:30)

Well, I think it's just the optics of how it looks. Yeah, but of course.

No, he doesn't have any of.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

Can he make it warm out?

Tim Dillon (2:36)

I don't think he has any power to do anything good.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

Maybe he should be there with blankets.

Tim Dillon (2:40)

Yeah. Well, it's funny. It's like the people that hate him the most are the ones that are like he should be there. And it's like, doing what?

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Well, here's the thing, though. He was one of the vocal critics of Mayor Adler, who's a Democrat, who went to Cancun as well.

Tim Dillon (2:56)

Everybody goes to Cancun.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

I think he was in Cancun. Was he in Cancun or was he in one of those?

Jamie (3:01)

Made his thing at the house.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Yes. But it was in Cancun or was it Puerto Vallarta?

It was one of those nice places in Mexico.

Tim Dillon (3:09)

And he's the mayor of Austin?

Joe Rogan (3:10)

Yes. He went down there and he was saying, now is not the time to relax.

So he went in there.

Tim Dillon (3:18)

I mean, that's the place to relax.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

I mean, fucking Sammy Hagar has got a song about it.

Tim Dillon (3:23)

I mean, it's crazy to watch. It's also crazy that he got caught and then he came back.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

Well, he said, I was always coming back. I was being a good father.

So you had to put a spin on it.

Tim Dillon (3:36)

Yeah, I was dropping my fan. I feel because Ted Cruz is the face of the guy that always is caught. Like he looks like the kid in school who gets in on the prank too late. And then the teacher catches him. Like he just looks like he gets caught. He's not he's not one of those guys who gets away with it.
