505 - Andrew Tate, A Socialist Makeover, & The Demise Of Red Robin

**Tim Dillon** (0:00)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Tim Dillon Show. It is the summer in America. We are in the heat of it, the dog days of summer. I hope it's everything you would imagine. I hope you are making your dreams come true. When you're on the East Coast, there's so much pressure for the summer because you only get one summer. I mean, that's like some slogan that I grew up with, or maybe I heard recently. You only get one summer. I forget who was advertising that. I don't know, but probably some rehab or something. You know, I don't know what was advertising that. Narcan or something. You only get one summer, Narcan. But whatever it is, they're right. There's really only, it's July, August, and then a little bit of September, but a lot of the country goes back to school in August and their summer is over, and they consider the start of fall August because they have snowstorms in October, whereas New York and New England has a longer fall. And, you know, usually we go back first week of September. And then, and then we get colder weather, usually towards Christmas and then after.
That was it. That was the episode. I just want to kind of go over that and break it down for everybody and make sure that these Tate brothers can't catch a break, these guys, huh? You know, I met them in Romania. I interviewed them on the Patreon, and this was years ago, and they were lovely and they took me to a steakhouse. I was in Romania to do a gig, to do a gig for some Bitcoin guy who had lots of money, who paid me a lot of money to go out there and do comedy in Bucharest, Romania, for a group of people that could barely speak English, and they liked me and saw me and wanted me to go, and it was a very challenging... I did it in some, like, weird restaurant, event, venue, and I did about 25 minutes, and it was barely understood, and I think one of the guys stood up and was like, Jor-o-gon, Jor-o-gon! So I think he saw me on Joe's show, and I was there and I hit up the Tates, and I said, you know, you have any recs, any recommendations? And they go, we know exactly who you are, we'll pick you up from the airport. And they did, and they came in their Rolls Royces, and they truly were... Now I know they're accused of rape and human trafficking, whatever, but let me just say my piece first, and then I'll get to that. I'll get to that.
They were truly lovely. We had a lovely meal. We went to their home. We did a podcast. They were lovely people.
Do I... Can I like... Am I like saying they're pure of spirit? I don't know. I'm just saying my personal experience with them, they're accused of choking women sometimes until they passed out, then raping them. Again, not good. That's from the New York Times. My producer highlighting that. I understand that. I'm getting to that, and I appreciate you highlighting that. As I talk about how lovely our dinner was, thank you very much for doing that. We are against that here at The Tim Dillon Show, choking women until they pass out, and then raping them. Obviously wrong. We get it. We know it. Not for it. Have never been for it. Have never been for it.
I witnessed none of that in Romania.
One of their girlfriends was there. I think her name was Baby G or something, and she was a little quiet. Some of the women with them were quiet. That's what I will say. Some of the women there were quiet. They were not offering loud opinions. A little nice, but it was very, you know, I don't know. They didn't seem like victims to me. Was there an arrangement? Were they working a little bit? Hey, sure. But by the way, life is an arrangement. Truly. Sorry.
I'm not and I'm not and I'm not trying to to, you know, discourage the real true romantics out there because I feel like that's a beautiful thing. Love is an amazing, beautiful thing. It's a celestial thing. It comes from the, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's lovely. And I hope you're finding it this summer. You only get one summer. But there are love is a little bit of a commodity in certain places. And I felt like maybe it was a commodified love, which is very, I've lived in Beverly Hills. I live in New York. I'm well aware of that. I've had my friend's mother's tell me, I married this person for very practical reasons. I had my friend's mother told me that on the back porch of her Wanto home. She said, I married her husband's name for very practical reasons. I was never over the moon in love with him, but I knew he'd be a good father and make a good living, and these are okay things. So what I'm saying here is that we are against choking women until they pass out, and then we can't keep doing that with that word because we'll be out of this algorithm. So we're against all of that. And if that happened, that is unequivocally unacceptable. And I have no reason to believe it didn't happen. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I don't know what's going on.
