#289 - Live From Ukraine | The Tim Dillon Show

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the tim. dillon ukrainian special today uh we. were going to have a great journalist. mark galiotti from. london who writes about putin and russia. on but he is briefing the military. uh and cannot make it so i. with comparatively far less knowledge. about said issues are going to speak for. the hour. um we were trying to get an expert we. will potentially get him at a later date.

we've had him on the show before. he wrote a book called the vori. russia's super mafia he also wrote a. book called what the west gets wrong. about putin. and he is one of the preeminent. journalists that has expertise in that. region that area we don't have them. couldn't get him. wanted to get him are trying to get him. right. and hopefully one day we'll get him. before putin gets them.

um. very sad. what's happening in the ukraine if. you're a human being. if the internet has not. taken your humanity and it's taken many. of your humanity. um. if your personal brand has not eaten you. alive and it has for many of you. uh if your griff. knows no. bounds. um.

no matter what you think about nato. expansion. or u.s imperialism. or whatever. the cia's misdeeds. the deep state. the chronicles of narnia. the teachers union. whatever. whatever. you still have to say seeing babies. being moved from like an icu. to like a subway tunnel.

is um. sad it's a tragedy it's a human. tragedy has all war is right. uh it's not something to celebrate it's. not something to say this is cool. we enjoy this. [ __ ] around and find out look putin look. at this. that's not the take. if you're a. human. being.

now the vast majority of people on this. uh platform aren't are not human that's. the point of the internet it's to make. you less human. and it's working very well. kudos. to the designers of that. because what it does is it you you watch. tragedies all day and you have no. you get desensitized to it. every day.

from uh walmart fights to car crashes. to beheadings. all day every day it's in your face and. you forget that. those are people. and there are children you know you see. these waffle house brawls there's kids. sitting there. while their parents beat the [ __ ] sure. it's a goof. and it's fun. but then you go man i wonder what the.

kids life's gonna be like. probably not great but again you can't. you can't dissect every waffle house. video and get in the weeds and start. worrying about. the second generation. um. but you should at the very least. look at an invasion of a country. by uh a dictator which is what putin is. he's a dictator. you know he invaded a sovereign country.

and there's a lot of mayhem. and death. and carnage that you're gonna see. and the ukrainian people. uh are brave and they're fighting back. and they give a [ __ ] you know unlike. people in america who don't care about. much. other than themselves and their ability. to consume. other countries have deep and complex. histories. and they care about more than their. ability to go to a buffalo wild wings.

we do not that is not part of our thing. here. um. so it's sad to watch all this [ __ ]. unfold and. yeah i mean just to give everyone a. little backstory. the ukraine. uh if you're if you're if you're not. aware of what's happening has been. invaded by russia. we'll start there.

and the goal of that invasion is regime. change of course ukraine part of the old. uh soviet union. nato um. kind of the post-cold war architecture. of. how the world is going to run these um. you know trade alliances. military alliances. um. expanding nato into the region.

uh where russia is. arming ukraine. funding ukraine. potentially admitting them to nato the. the discussion of that. um was not a good geopolitical move it. kind of put russia in a box. russia then reacted. um. in the way that russia a lot of people. feared that russia was going to react. which was to then take back.

the territory that they feel is. rightfully. um. and you can have those conversations and. talk about. those are facts. um how much of that led to this decision. is uh we don't know you don't you're not. there i'm sure it didn't help. but. the idea here the takeaway is not. putin's cool. that shouldn't be the takeaway if you. are.

a human being. this is not a cool thing to do. it's a brazen. you know criminal act. where you have somebody. going into a country decapitating the. leadership attempting to. um. bombing uh people murdering civilians. not good when we do it. wasn't right when america's done it. not right when we went into iraq or. afghanistan. stayed there for 20 years.

that misadventure in the middle east. where we were. it's not. no it's not right. when when it's done. by anybody. but it's not cool. i know that a lot of people think it's. cool. and. badass to do. you know. this is people are happy about this. people's lives in this country have.

gotten to the point. where they are happy. that this is happening and they're like. well it's because the american military. they're too focused on uh trans people. and. being a politically correct that's why. is that why it's happening. do you think putin really is convinced. that the american military is just like. uh. some type of. you know. i don't know extension of the lgbtq.

whatever community do you think that's. what the intel and russia is telling. them. do you think they're go i mean it's it's. a very stupid way to look at things. that because the military is struggling. with whatever type of. i trans issues that affect this very. small percentage of the military i think. they're still focused on the amount of. funding it gets. how big it is. it's ability it's positioning all over. the world i you know i don't think putin.

is uh. invading the ukraine he's not worried. about america because uh we're talking. about trans people that's why he that's. why he's doing it. uh no he's doing it he has more nuclear. warheads than any other country in the. world and what are we gonna do. what are we gonna do. if we were all christian. theocratic psychopaths. who burned gay people at the stake which.

is what these people want. you think putin would be like oh [ __ ] it. i'm i like hey i'm not invading ukraine. i'm not doing it now. now i'm not doing it. no they they passed a don't say gay bill. in florida i'm not invading. i don't even want ukraine anymore my. main goal was that florida teachers had. to out kids as gay within six weeks. um that's why no i'm not due i don't. even i don't have any reason to go into. ukraine now they've just passed a law in.

america he convenes everybody they all. they're all in moscow he goes saint. peter's but we're ever here uh hey guys. they just passed a law. that biological born males cannot. compete in female sports do you know. what that means no ukraine. no we're not gonna do it. because now i'm afraid of them. now i fear them. i know i have all the nukes but their. moral certitude.

scares me. i'm scared by that. that terrifies me. see before when they were talking about. trans people and letting. trans people swim. i knew they were weak. but. when they flipped it. when they flipped it and went back to. those 19 because if you remember when we. had all those 1950s values we had no. problems with russia. you remember that.

no we didn't have any these are all new. problems we never had. when back before they were trans people. or gay people. there was never any issues with ever. ever. this is all new. in the 50s and 60s you know when. everybody was like eating burgers and. smoking cigarettes and wearing jeans and. they were all at the hop. everybody was driving uh 57 chevys and. gay people had to shut up and black. people had to shut up and trans people.

to shut up russia. loved us. we were like [ __ ] like this i mean. so this is the result of that it's the. result of that it's because that guy. made a dumb video with biden which i. think is a dumb video but that uh bonito. whatever on your uh instagram made some. video with buying and people going this. is why. putin didn't worry about taking the. ukraine it's like putin's never worried. about.

taking the ukraine he's never worried. about it. there's nothing to do with our content. trust me. putin is not watching our content. it's but again it's silly. and these are. silly times for people. and i'm not saying we we are going over. there and fighting it's not our thing. it's not our war. this is not something where we should be. involved everybody who's going no-fly.

zones he must pay he must pay. what. we're not in the position. to go and fight russia over the ukraine. we have military supremacy if we had to. fight them over something. that we had a genuine interest in we. could but we're not fighting them over. the ukraine that doesn't mean that this. is uh you know a fun cool. display. and that we should all be jazzed about.

it but we're not fighting them over the. ukraine you know this is a. this is uh a real problem do you have. any updates on what's uh going on over. there so they held them uh off uh over. the night in the capitol pretty. impressive what the ukraine really is. yeah yeah kind of impressive to be. honest the death council i'm impressed. the death count is much higher with. russia at uh 3 500 troops killed than. 200 captured and then ukrainians it's. about uh about 198 dead and the. thousands injured but they really held. them off overnight kind of losing.

they're kind of being embarrassed. at the moment yeah at the moment losing. in terms of casualties of course right. yeah yeah interesting and zelinski's not. leaving he's refusing to leave he's. still posting videos right i'm not going. anywhere so. right but the the videos are it's. horrific it's it's very tough to watch. people who are civilians innocent. have done nothing. who are living their lives have to flee. a country.

you. know i can all about i can just imagine. the sea of youtube comments. [Music]. it's actually good to watch that. you know. but the other the other side of it is. what are we gonna do i'm not going over. there. you're not going over there no no one's. going over there nobody i know is going. over there america is a country of. cowards. um you know as broad it was a fun uh.

tweet where it's not all of us are. cowards but a lot. uh you know ted cruz you know there was. a storm in texas he like fled to cancun. there was a tweet you know um. you know our elected officials. uh you know when the when covet hits. they start insider trading. i mean you know nobody could care less. about this country. i mean giannis pop has brought up a. great point he's like if people if if. you said that people in america between. 18 and 16 cannot leave the country they.

would flee. they would all every. the vast majority of people would leave. and not defend the country. so it is inspiring to see the ukraine. uh do it yeah and there are refugees. hungary's taking in people you know. people are leaving but the people that. want to stay and defend yeah there's. families there's women and children and. then there's people and then there's. some bad ass ukrainian [ __ ] that are. staying. you know. but. i you know that are that are [ __ ].

i wonder i don't know what the outcome. is. it's destabilized the region forever now. for a very long time nobody from ukraine. is ever gonna forget this. i mean it's gonna be a real problem. and the the the same take here folks. is. that this is very sad. and it is not a positive development on. the world stage that's really it.

it's not it's not to start screaming. about trump. or biden. or or anybody it's really. to just say hey. we should look at the way. that we. potentially contributed to a climate. that enabled. said things to happen whether it was. funding.

nato. whatever it was. um. [Music]. but. there's there's there's nothing to do. here except. be upset and be like this sucks right. you know. it's. it's unfortunate that people are dying. now people in america. are so rotten to our core on both sides. of the political aisle and we have so. our humanity is almost all gone it's. almost been taken from us or really.

truly and we have become. demons. in this country. political affiliation unimportant. and. what that has made us do is any. human tragedy that we see. we immediately. dig into it and try to like. make it someone's fault that we hate. and and excuse it.

and not even look at. like the human cost and i say. look look. it's a psychotic impulse. it is a psychotic. impulse. it doesn't mean you can't have a. discussion about it. but it is a. psychotic. impulse it is an inhuman. impulse for the first thing you do.

when you see like old women and children. being forced out of their homes and. fleeing to go hahaha i. tell you. there's something wrong with you. as a person if that's what you're doing. in the same way that when someone died a. cover that didn't get vaccinated and you. were celebrating that to an unhealthy. degree. that was also wrong that's my position. on it just be a human [ __ ] being if.

you can. if you can if you possess. the ability to be a human. try. for five minutes. try to be a person. you know i know but the brand. for a second. just for a second. be a human being. is it possible.

in this country. of. demons. real demons now. i mean when you. look around and see. the people. and you listen to the people we're in. hell. we're living in hell here. if this isn't hell i don't know what. could be hell. with the way that people just relate to. each other now.

and. i for one. like. i i don't think the nato expansion. helped. i think we made an error in judgment. i think that. putin's not a guy that you're going to. be able to push around i think that u.s. policy. has not made this situation any better. i don't think that in in and of itself. excuses. or.

justifies. in uh. and i'm not using because i know that. the real politic way to look at it is. obviously. it's not the justification. for. anything that anybody does. on the world stage is never morality. it's trade routes and ports and power. and i know all of that and i'm not. saying that i'm not a child. and i'm not saying that i don't. understand the rationale.

behind the decision to invade the. ukraine. but when you when you look at it. from the perspective of a human being. and not. you know the perspective of like. somebody who's trying to like use this. as a springboard. to gain more. uh. eyeballs on what they're doing and say. just the most contrarian and. [ __ ] up [ __ ] imaginable and. you know well actually they're they're.

right. they're right he's right to do that. um. when you look at it like that. you go no this is a brazen criminal act. where somebody's invading a country. uh unprovoked. by that country. um. and that should be. that should be roundly condemned. people shouldn't. people shouldn't be like yeah this is.

cool. [ __ ] yeah. this shouldn't this isn't the thing. i know it's fun. to be a [ __ ] poster contrarian or. whatever. it's fun. it's uh edgy it makes you feel good. i guess it gives you power you don't. have in your life. to say something online that bothers. other people and i do it a lot i say all. kinds of [ __ ] the people are bothered. right now. very much they're very angry at what i'm.

saying right now so i'm not saying that. that. is. not something that. should be. protected my only point is as a human. being it should give you a little pause. when you see the scenes. of. horror. emanating from that country you should. potentially. uh be given a little pause and you. should reflect a little bit. about. the human cost.

of. something like this because it's not. nothing. it's not nothing when people are being. driven out of their homes. you know what i mean. china's stepping in now they're. restricting lending to russia china's. because china is now running the world. see america is a joke. but china is now coming in and now china. is saying because china's making money. china doesn't need this [ __ ]. china's in the lead.

and china's going hey man we're winning. why are we doing that what are we doing. that for. you know like i'm i'm good. you know it's like. china's like we don't need you going. around destabilizing the world. we're killing it. we're like killing it it's like if. you're a big agent and one of your big. clients. is like. in every movie they are the hollywood it.

girl and then they start posting about. palestine you go hey hey. we're winning now why why are we doing. this there'll be plenty of time to do. that. when they throw you out of hollywood and. you get fat and you're doing indies. light up the timeline with your opinions. but right now. cool it. just go to [ __ ] con and relax we got. a boat for you sit on the boat.

and enjoy. so china is now getting involved to try. to well two chinese state-owned banks. will restrict financing for russian. commodity purchases suggesting there are. limits to beijing's support for moscow. as the kremlin confronts severe economic. sanctions. so offshore units of industrial and. commercial bank of china have stopped. issuing u.s dollar denominated letters. of credit for purchases of physical. russian commodities ready for export. while the bank of china has also limited. funding according to bloomberg.

well i'm telling you right now. um. we got a real problem. on our hands. china's biggest banks hold billions of. russian assets beijing has also provided. moscow with tens of billions in funding. over the years. so that was pretty recent though i mean. this will come out later today we'll see. what happens this is awkward and i don't. like to have to do this because this is. something that. you know in order to.

in order to do the show here and to earn. money. we live in kind of a morally compromised. world so every now and then we have to. do things that we don't necessarily love. um. you know and i. don't i don't love uh. having to per se. read some of the ads that i read right i. mean this is not something that i enjoy. doing but. i have to do it because in order to earn.

money. uh. we have to do. certain things. it doesn't mean that we. love them. okay. that being said. the tim dillon show is sponsored by. gazprom. a multinational energy corporation. headquartered in the lotka center in. saint petersburg russia. in 2019 gazprom has done sales over 120.

billion dollars it is the largest. publicly listed natural gas company in. the world and the largest company in. russia by revenue gazprom is excited to. be expanding heavily into the european. market offering natural gas natural gas. at a reasonable cost. gazprom is excited about the future of. energy and helping people live their. dreams. and meet their goals by using gazprom's. natural energy.

they are the leading provider of natural. gas and they bought ads on the show. well that's all i have to say about that. freshly. it is very hard to find a fast precooked. meal that isn't frozen tasteless or. highly processed food that doesn't have. to be fast food freshly offers quality. meals without the hard work. their meals ban are designed by. nutritionists cooked by chefs and.

uh and it concerns our favorite things. long island. and real estate. and mental illness our third favorite. thing. can you bring that up paul. this uh. there's there's havoc in uh the long. island uh realtor community uh i mean if. you think kiev is bad. this woman's really causing issues here.

this is a. long island woman who is going to. open houses in long island and refusing. to leave and threatening the other. buyers. and do i understand that correctly yeah. because it's a it's a taboo if you're at. an open house you don't sit on the. people's furniture you're not supposed. to sit on the people's furniture and. you're not really supposed to talk oh. really you're not supposed to. make. pronouncements loudly.

you're supposed to have quiet. conversations. and then you know it's good. it's good form. to go and chat. outside if you bring your realtor to the. open house. you know you go outside and you have a. chat. you don't walk through and go this. kitchen. agents sometimes have to pay the bouncer. it's showings. you never know who's going to show up. when homes are open to the public so the. professionals have to keep cool and take.

action. this is funny. there was a line for this showing a five. bedroom two and a half bathroom in three. village long island. i think we had like 32 sets of buyers. each with an agent easily 100 people it. was in a very desirable neighborhood a. great school district and the house had. lots of potential this was before covet. so we didn't have restrictions on how. many people could go in at one time.

i had my associate joe working inside. the house trying to keep the flow going. i was outside meeting and greeting and. trying to keep up with everything pepe. try to keep everything peppy so nobody's. annoyed that they have to wait then joe. came out and pulled me aside and said. we've got a problem. there's a woman inside who is refusing. to leave. she has parked herself on the couch and. is telling people that this is her house. i went inside to find out what's going. on i can hear somebody with a raised.

voice downstairs where the main living. area is. i go down and here's this woman. just sprawling there. one arm up. on the buck on the back of the back of. the couch. she was wearing like a moo moo. she reminded me of my mother people were. asking her are you the owner and she was. saying. no but i'm gonna be. i like it. i catch her answering a question about a. feature of the house.

it was a teenage girl who was asking is. this the only bathroom on this floor. i hear this woman say yes it is. sweetheart. and it's not enough for you you're a. teenager you need more bathrooms you. should look somewhere else. i walked up and i said hi. are you okay. she said why would you ask me that. i explained that i work for the seller. normally people don't sit on the owner. church furniture during an open house. it's like using the bathroom you just.

don't do it and she says. quote all these people are wasting their. time. and then she yells because i will outbid. you. i said my job is to make sure everyone. has an opportunity to see the house i. think you might be making some people. feel uncomfortable she says no i'm not. and then this guy who is also there for. the open house goes the hell you're not. why don't you stop flapping your mouth. long island. joe my associate stuck his head in the.

door and i told him. not to let anyone else in. i had to look. i had to stop the can we make this. bigger is there any way we can make it a. little could you zoom in paul. thank you. uh i'm like taking an eye test here to. try to read no one on gas digital reads. anything. so there's no one's ever had to bring up. anything. to read. um. the funny thing is she never put in an. offer of course she didn't she was nuts.

i like that i like the idea of a woman. sitting on the couch threatening people. and scaring them. and and then because she's because you. the thing about open house is you can't. really stop people from going in and. causing a real problem. and that there's something still. very democratic about that idea that. anybody can walk into any house that's. being sold and start an issue. and there's not much you can do about it.

at this point you know. um. so i'm all for that i'm all for uh. open house problems. because realtors are their entire job is. to be fake nice. that's their entire. job. the most difficult thing about a. realtor's job. is being fake nice all the time to. everyone and realtors notoriously. hate.

when. they have to. deviate from that psychopathic. personality trait. that they have that they've developed. where they just remain. fake nice. throughout all of their. daily interactions. and then when they go home they they. become. you know mr hyde again. and then the next day it's dr jekyll.

hello. natural light indoor outdoor bedrooms. bathrooms isn't it nice and realtors. have to have their their their job is. made up only of small talk you will. never have a disc you'll never look at a. realtor and go i have cancer. everything. that you every interaction you have with. the realtor is small talk. and fake nice small talk so what happens. to these people. is when something interrupts that.

fake. world of pleasantries. and niceties and meaningless inane. [ __ ]. it is the gravest. offense to them. like when anybody comes in from outside. to start a problem and there they. realize you're like i can't. i have to now. like show. real because this is upsetting me and.

i'm angry and i want this to stop. but i'm also this person this creation. that that just wants to talk about. nonsense with these idiots. and someone's on the couch yelling and i. have to be stern and. angry and get her out of here and. they're just like [ __ ]. what do i do i have to be a human being. and they're like but my entire job. is to not be a person is to be a a. creation you know.

a realtor is like um you know when. they're good at it. they're a prostitute kind of you know. like you know it's like you're getting. the girlfriend experience you're getting. someone you believe cares about you. and what you do and your life and family. oh isn't oh the yard they'll run oh. these kids in that yard but really what. they want to do is just make enough. money to bail their son out of. jail but they can't they can't tell you.

that. because like anything else. all of these relationships exist. um out of necessity they are. things that need to happen and they just. should be nice. while they happen so i'm all for like. fat women. sitting on couches screaming. because there's nothing better than. seeing a nice person fake nice. nothing better than seeing like a fake. nice person have to like you can see. them almost they almost have like a. seizure they're like.

what ha what are you doing like they. they're like losing they're like they're. like it's like at the end of cinderella. where they you know the carriage becomes. the pumpkin like they're reverting back. to their form and they're like oh what. are you. people people don't usually sit on the. furniture. people on youtube. and then you see them and they just. start melting and melting and. you know and again realtors for the most. part are not terribly bright. so they're not really good at problem.

solving not the really high-end ones the. one i'm using now is phenomenal and. she's like a legend but the vast. majority of realtors are incredibly. stupid people who are very bad at. problem solving much like agents. the the vast majority of agents and. managers are incredibly stupid. and incredibly bad at their jobs these. are jobs that you can be very bad at. because the vast majority of people at. the job are also bad. and it's actually an agreed upon thing.

that we're all gonna be bad at this. we're gonna be bad at it together. and that's why everybody can be bad at. it because there's almost an unspoken. rule unwritten rule. that. bad is good. and slightly above bad is great. so if you're a manager in the. entertainment business and you're not ab. you're not an abject failure you're the. best it's ever been.

you're great and they will write books. about you and make movies about you. because the vast majority of people in. it are so incapable of performing the. menial day-to-day tasks of a job. that to be even slightly better than. that is to win the day like an agent to. be. slightly better than the general bad. is to be great. and that's kind of like realtors if you. were just slightly better.

then the vast majority of like part-time. divorced housewife. uh people that are you know trying to. make a quick buck that have no idea what. they're talking about if you're even. slightly better than that. you're in. you become this. you can be really good at it you know. um. what what let's check let's check more. uh as we before we get out of here let's. check more about.

um. this uh war because is it gonna end when. is it gonna end. you know i was reading sullivan's. article he was saying they're probably. gonna occupy as long as they want of. course should i sing a ukrainian folk. song. no i'm i'm very silly. there's there's not much i can do. but i want to help. patreon is not allowing people to donate. to the ukraine because they don't like.

they there's a rule of patreon that you. can't donate money for people to like. buy weapons or something yeah yeah i. think i think that thing might have been. fake too but regardless they wouldn't. allow that i don't think anything wait. wait was it fake or not i i believe it. was yeah cause i don't think you can do. that on patreon i'm gonna double check. uh but i i think it would be a good idea. uh yes this is from. it says no you can't use patreon to buy.

missiles for ukraine. patreon deleted the fun page without a. warning and a very difficult time for. ukraine and deleting the page patreon. said that the website of the. organization says that they use. contributions to finance and trained. military personnel and decided it's. harmful activities policy and banning it. um yeah i i i it was real i guess it was. real yeah. yeah they were trying to buy tanks. missiles.

i mean again i don't want to. i feel like this is. i feel like this is insane. 29 years of growth in harmony with our. clients. at the credit bank of moscow. moscow credit bank is best russian bank. according to world economic magazine. awards moscow credit bank has published. its code of conduct. and and applies esg principles at design.

and procurement stages that you can read. moscow credit bank has 131 additional. offices in moscow and the moscow region. over 6 800 payment terminals and 1100. atms in moscow and moscow region if you. want to open an account at the credit. bank of moscow use promo code tim. for a little they'll sweeten it if you. make a nice little deal promo code tim. they'll kick you back a little interest. at credit bank of moscow.

again 29 years of growth in perfect. harmony with our clients credit bank of. moscow. uh promo code tim. if you want to. open an account. that is uh mkrb. i'm sorry it's mkb.ru. mkb dot ru. credit bank of moscow.

promo code tim. i feel conflicted. a little bit. by by doing this but not. but i but people have to understand. that the show needs a revenue stream. you get it right i get it we're running. a business here. i mean. i think credit bank of moscow probably. does a fine job.

is there a is there a ukrainian folk. song that i can sing let's see here. because i i do want to do more than i'm. doing. and i feel that i'm i'm severely limited. by. many factors i can't really help. uh. i'm limited by many factors number one i. live in america number two i don't. really care. like i do but i you know.

but i feel like if i were to sing a. ukrainian folk song. on the show. you might have people like. finally. understanding what's really what's. really at stake. this. is kind of a showing of solidarity it's. a statement it's not nothing. and i think that. i will certainly benefit. um. and i don't mean me i let me take that.

back but i will benefit from. the knowing that i've done enough. you know because there's a lot of people. that right now going what should i do. should i donate should i and you should. do all of that but i think. let me sing a folk song on the show. paul i just sent you one okay so this is. a ukrainian folk song and the. translation is long live free ukraine. well that's awkward. okay.

1.5 million views so this one must be a. popular one. oh my god this is gonna be so [ __ ]. hard. [ __ ]. this is so hard but. it's just not easy this language is not. easy. but i'm going to try. [Music].

[Music]. [Music].

[Music]. well. that was very difficult. uh. because it's a whole other language you. get it yeah people don't even understand. it's very it's not like a spanish where. you can kind of fake it. this is. right. it's a whole other thing it's a whole. other thing here.

i'm gonna ask a serious question. do you think that helped. is there anyone out there that found. comfort in that. because you know the internet is it's. i mean it's global. there's a very good chance. that there are ukrainians watching this.

show. and that just heard that. that now. are doing slightly better than they were. on a serious note if you are ukrainian. and you are watching this show. i'm [ __ ] sorry about what's going on. that is no reason to cancel the patreon. if you are a member of the patreon. it is five dollars a month and you get.

four hours of content. a month. and if you're a rothschild member on the. higher tier you get an extra video. episode in addition to that so i don't. want. i'm very so i don't want that i'm not. one of these idiots in america cheering. this on i am aghast at this i truly. i truly feel bad for these people that. have to leave their country it is. repulsive to me i'm not a putin stan. i will tell you this.

i don't believe. it is a sufficient reason. to not. continue to pay for the patreon if you. are a patreon subscriber. if it gets bad enough where i do feel. like you're justified in canceling i'll. let you know. but as of right now i think. should we do a thing where. here's no here's an idea i'm i'm i'm.

serious about this do we do a thing. where if someone is from the ukraine. that enjoys and watches our show. and there's any way to communicate with. them. like can we give them our info. or an email for them to reach out. is there any way to like. open a channel of communication with. them. and have them like read an ad for us.

is there any possible way for them to. read like. an advertisement for us there was a. ukrainian open miker that dm to me four. days ago. who uh wanted to come on the show. why why i mean why are you why is that. coming out now. do you i mean i don't even know if he. speaks that well of english i looked up. his videos it's all in uh did he did he. dm you in english he was very broken. though.

i just don't understand why you would. bring that up now when that would have. been great we we should have had him on. why would you not bring that to me. um i i was flying i forgot. i mean that would have been great. right. is he still in new york well i also. don't know if maybe if he's uh maybe. he's a not a he's a bad egg he might be. a bad egg over there then you [ __ ] up. here stop trying to say he's like some. nazi i'm not saying he's the nazi. accusing him of being a nazi or. slandering him because you didn't bring.

him to me and say he should be on the. show. where is he now uh let me let me check. my dms. see what he's up to get him right now. if you want a recording of the folk song. that i sang. we will be selling it. if it makes unless you can prove you are. in the ukraine. right now. if you can prove that we will give it to. you for half off. if you could prove that you are in the.

ukraine right now during the war the. folk song i sang. will be given to you a half off. we got to reach out to these people ben. this is absurd. that you didn't bring this to my. attention ben really doesn't do his job. this is very interesting ben really. doesn't do his job and. it's now becoming more and more apparent. to everybody. that ben has been you know. really coasting here he coasts and all.

he does is complain that he has to. travel and him and his wife can't get. drunk. all they want to do is get drunk and go. follow colin moricao around. i'm trying to fight he's probably dead. ben. he wanted to come on the show as the. last thing he could [ __ ] do. to just. tell everybody what was up i'm sure he. had a lot of nice things to say about me.

and my comedy and how it's impacted him. before he was killed by russia and you. ruined that you ruined the chance for. this man. as his last earthly act to come on the. show and tell me that i. it was a great influence on him and to. keep doing what i'm doing right before. this man dropped dead. well at the time also i thought we were. having a mark on for so i just. completely forgot we always need a. backup that's true.

should have kept him on standby and you. don't even have his message i'm looking. for it uh it's amazing to me the lack of. prep. the lack of respect that this guy has. for this show every week he does less. can you imagine. i'm scro all my dms are people. threatening to kill me i'm trying to. find and there should be more. i mean. the guy gets a message i found him here.

okay here he is right there call him. hi ben i am from ukraine comedian have. five subs on twitter also if you need. any info i can connect you with. competent people for tim dillon's show. about war. we're calling him right now.

he's dead. it's 8 30 there he should. be awake he's dead you killed him.

i feel terrible about you killing this. person. i'm watching his story right now. dude this is like [ __ ]. hopefully this dude's okay. if not we know we have to blame ben. avery. his name is. vladislav or something. i'm following him back i'm messaging him.

hey man reach back out when. you can hope you're. okay this is tim. well there you have it ben avery uh. a guy wants to come on the show i mean. do you feel a little ashamed. yeah i should have had him as backup. well that's not even for the show it's. like this guy. wants to get out information from a war. zone on a major podcast platform and you. ignore him well i mean it's it's a.

little absurd is it no it is. i mean it's a pretty big [ __ ] up but. you're people can have your head for. that you're a large media figure and you. could be feeding us misinformation he. could be ben now what you're doing is. you're trying to justify the fact that. you did not even bring this to me as an. option here you're you're you're trying. to what you're trying to keep me from. misinformation. i mean what's going on here. this is insane. is that that that's your act now you're.

trying to protect me from misinformation. you said i'm supposed to protect the. show. yeah. you're supposed to protect the show by. not letting us. make bad decisions. or. not letting episodes. come out late or something but what. you're supposed to do is when somebody. reaches out from a volatile active war. zone and wants to come on this show and. tell me that i'm a genius before they're. killed. and you don't i.

i. i'm i i i'm incensed at you right now i. truly cannot believe. you did this. this was this guy's dying wish to tell. me that i was the greatest comedian. that he's ever seen. before he was killed in an invasion and. you ignore him. you didn't even respond back to him dude. i mean um.

should you want to apologize to him yeah. i'll say his at i'll apologize no don't. say his ass okay okay. we want to keep it private vladislav i'm. very sorry for what i did i should have. reached back to you and kept you on. standby because vladislav i wish ben was. killed by the russians and not you. i hate ben. another [ __ ] up from ben avery everybody. that's what this show can count on a guy.

from an active war zone wants to update. us and by the way we're kidding here. hopefully he's okay hopefully yeah we. hope he's okay we hope the guy's okay i. mean. i hope open micros aren't being drafted. i mean. you really want to lose. but hopefully he'll be okay. but this is [ __ ]. it's [ __ ]. it's sad it's tragic tragic and you are. tragic for not allowing this person. to come on this show.

so i mean. again. if. if you like. if you like um. people being killed in the ukraine. ben avery is your boy. no. pat ben avery is good if you are a. ukrainian that doesn't like this war. maybe go give him a piece of your mind. that ben avery is good.

if you are a ukrainian. who is against the war. perhaps ben avery is good should hear. from you i don't know i'm just saying. perhaps he should hear from you. that's all i'm saying. i think you have to take some. responsibility for your actions in these. situations. people are in in deep trouble and. they're trying to reach out. you know.

and hopefully. this will be balanced out by the fact. that i sang that folk song. and it's i i don't know. it's gonna be tough to balance the. scales here but i think i did a. pretty phenomenal job. for having never spoke. ukrainian. you know only a few more shows left on. this hellish tour at the end we're. taping a special in denver what what do.

we got left here god help us and save us. uh so tonight you'll be in albany when. this comes out who cares uh concord new. hampshire uh tomorrow. sold out uh brea improv buy tickets for. brayer folks it's in anaheim it's a dump. uh yeah it's in brea it's march 11th. 12th 13th come on in uh toronto march. 16th that's right get tickets to that a. lot of them have sold out but get some. baltimore on the 18th.

no we're i'm being we're being deadly. syria. i'm i support deadliest i stand with. ukrainian people it's a tragedy what's. going on i feel i feel sorry for this. guy. i could come up with a million excuses. but. there's no excuse i did fail i i failed. miserably here with this guy. i'm. i'm not gonna go into any excuses i have. plenty some are somewhat justified but. i. vladislav if you're listening i'm very.

and i log on to the internet. and someone says you're worth it. i think vladislav is calling me oh get. get them on here. uh hello vladislav stay rolling on this. paul. how are you this is tim dillon i'm a. comedian from america. how are you.

let me ask you is there a way that we. can talk to you on like skype or. something let me. talk to you for a minute ben all right. we are here with vladislav who is a. ukrainian comedian dude. thank you so much for taking the time to. talk with us how are you doing over. there. i'm doing fine currently i am. at the shelter. in kiev and i am trying to find my way.

to get guns get west's get helmets. and uh. share them with my friends with my. family so everyone is armed because in. kiev now if you are not uh like uh armed. samurai you're a [ __ ] no one. right or nobody. now. how have. how quickly this seemed to happen very. quickly. where you guys declared martial law.

and you you told me that you guys are. trying to raise money and trying to find. weapons and trying to just basically. help the troops as best that you can. yes we are trying to help the troops as. best as we can i. had my uh. i have my own channel and we just. uh. live streaming for 15 minutes uh 12 to. 20 minutes ago before just before we. talk and we raised a crazy amount of. money and we will buy and uh.

like crazy gun equipment and this is. very good because we need equipment for. snipers and snipers are very cool. in uh city combat because we are now. leading to city combat uh fights because. most of the uh. in the two. two days two days that we have uh. our combat. we fought on the border uh we fought uh.

on uh. rivers and now uh we need to. arm up uh even more. now the were you guys surprised that. this happened or were you guys expecting. it because a lot of people were thinking. that putin was bluffing. did you guys think he was bluffing or. did you guys think this was gonna go. down. uh we were ready for uh any scenarios. that could happen but ukrainians were. always ready for putin to invade because.

russia have had invaded ukraine many. many many times we had a whole other. more in. 1933. uh. and it was insane everybody uh saying. like. not everybody because but a lot of. russian propaganda is like we are. brothers and uh that's all but as it's. not like that even a little bit uh we. were uh pretty much. always concerned about uh military.

invasion but you. you can't prepare yourself for for a. military invasion because it's right. it's spark. how is the feeling about russia. obviously now it's not good but before. this. aren't you like a lot of people in. russia have family in ukraine. you guys are you're there's certainly a. lot of. you know. connections between the two countries. right i mean. what was the feeling about russia.

pre-invasion was it. were do you have family in russia you. have friends in russia or because i know. many people in russia have family in. ukraine. is is that the situation or is that not. the case. families can't hate each other if you. know. so oh oh i know. oh i know. oh i know very well that they can. we also we. hate our.

own families in ukraine and if our. family are in russia we hate them even. more and. i agree i hate my own family in long. island and they're they're very close to. me. um. what do you think the outcome putin. wants you think he wants a regime change. he wants to put in a puppet. government that that will basically. carry out his will that seems to be what. he wants.

he is crazy he wanted to do a fast. blitzkrieg. but it's like. he has. no connection with the world because we. have. not. much but we have. uh cool cool toys we have and loads we. have stingers and he's just crazy he's. just oh i have a helicopter with uh uh. like uh flying.

descent i don't know how they called. like marines marines and i will. land. that helicopter and helicopter just. flies and we just like. there's no helicopter and he thought. yeah. 24 times is that he is like oh i will. send them my. tanks tanks are going and tanks are. burning up all the tanks are burning up. right now he thought the military was.

gonna fold quicker than it did but you. guys. have been showing that it's not gonna be. easy. you are not making it easy yeah. because uh if we lose then it's gonna be. worse for a long and long time and if. you win it's gonna be uh. gonna be the end of russia and end of. putin because he has no. real. way. how how he will gonna end this fight for. him to be.

like the winning the winning point he. has he he lost all the. uh. all the support from the world. even in we had like pro russia europe. countries like uh hungary. and like germany and even they are. promoting that then russia from swift no. yeah now so let me ask you a question. you're a comedian. in the uk yes i mean i'm sorry in uh in. the ukraine.

and. what is now you're a political comedian. so you do jokes about politics and stuff. also. yeah of course also not only but. sometimes. um. how is that there what is what is the. comedy scene like in the ukraine. for a guy like you. uh to do comedy what has that been like. comedy scene have been changed in the. past two years.

very significant. significantly because uh our standup was. born like maybe in. 2012. and also. there are russian standard and russian. standard is like a cargo cult of an. american stand-up it's just like stupid. it's just stupid and uh. also. they can't say that. they don't they don't don't have like.

feelings they're just. jokes no they have good comedians but. that's like about not we can't we can't. relate to that we can't feel about that. we don't have nothing and uh we are in. ukraine have a lot of ukrainian speaking. comedians and we have a lot of. russian-speaking comedians and is there. a tendency for the past two years that. russian-speaking comedians are turning. themselves into ukrainian-speaking. comedians because everyone in ukraine.

knows ukrainian just. uh because of a russian occupation a lot. of ukrainians also know russia yeah it's. it's like a stupidly cool. between. uh was stupidly cool right between uh. some ukrainian comedians to just like uh. hell away uh through the to the moscow. moscow is like uh uh. it's like a los angeles for a stupid. ukrainian comedian and then we figured.

out. we figured out that los angeles for a. smart comedian who like money is ukraine. in kiev and right. when we started doing stand-up in. ukrainian people we saw that people. really like us and people don't hate us. and you can cheat on ukrainians and you. can [ __ ] on russians and you can [ __ ] on. americans you can [ __ ] on everything. people relate to that people uh have fun. with it people will donate you money. people will love you we have also uh we.

have a slightly uh similar uh. like strategy. as you. uh in ukraine yeah like compassion we. have youtube channels we have instagram. we have twitter and people use it people. use it because it's ukrainian if we will. be a russian speaking ukrainians yeah. people will will think that we. are leading like our way to moscow that. we can we can we plug your social media.

on our show like. can we get you more followers is that a. good idea right now or do you want to. keep more of a low profile. yes it's a it's a good idea i post. sometimes uh my native pictures. it's not wait. if you want me. that's interesting if. if you uh if you want i can uh. uh message you i can message you uh that. russian.

dead russians. oh okay. well and also naked picture we'll take. both we'll take naked pictures and dead. russians if you'd like and we will uh. we'll put them on our patreon. but now are you go are you leave you're. not nobody's leaving nobody's fleeing. you're staying there. no also there are cowards there are. women's iraq kids they gotta go. uh. yeah they gotta go why not everybody has.

uh it's how do you feel about the. president zielenski he seems to be doing. a good job. man first we thought that. the country went crazy they elected the. low-grade comedian but very popular i. think that like you will elect i don't. know who who's who's bad like you. you will elect uh the guys that uh. stole jokes uh carlos mancilla.

carlos. he was one actor he was uh very talented. he was like very cool but uh comedy was. about like uh like my aunt and not uh. like he was it was uh more. uh for the people right it was like not. for sure. but you can't blame him for that because. there was pretty much no other coming. ukraine.

yeah and we we as uh stand-up comedians. we. thought that this guy is crazy and we. saw the country when went insane that he. they just like stupid jokes and now he's. [ __ ] i don't know. he's standing uh biden uh. biden say hey. would you like to come to us we can. get you out of the country and he's like. no i will [ __ ] die here. yeah that that by the way i respect the.

hell out of that and uh. i'm trying to think of an american. equivalent to that uh there ain't uh our. our people would be on a plane. they would be on a jet uh real quickly. um. i really hope that you guys stay oh yeah. he. also i want to uh. say that zelansky [ __ ] zero child. yes well that's good. that's very positive and we yeah we.

appreciate that that also. that also may be why your country is. being invaded. it is a catch-22 you know one of those. you know unfortunately who are your. favorite comedians in the ukraine from. america. uh my favorite comedians in ukraine was. america okay so you should check. channel stracadopa is our channel it's. only in ukrainian but it's uh. uh fine you also should check your. taylor he has uh.

his own uh special on divorce.com you. should check andre. you should check uh. i don't know who yeah. plug all those people on your social. media because we're never going to be. able to spell those names. um. what do you guys like american comedy. yeah of course we like a lot of american. comedy and we. i watch your shows i watch uh a lot of. uh i don't know stupid american [ __ ] i.

sometimes hate something okay. just we have two cultures we have. ukrainian culture we have american. culture sometimes we. force ourselves to not watch russian. culture because it's stupid. you just watch one russian comedian and. also youtube. next video suggest you a war movie and. you're like [ __ ] it. right half of the youtube russian. youtube is war movies about oh how it. was in 44.

what is the plan now the plan is just to. hold off. russian forces as much as you can. and basically obviously keep raising. money. and. hopefully. you know with enough pressure on putin. and people you know countries like china. now coming out and you know a lot of. sanctions happening that he would you. know eventually he'll give this up. yeah we will push we will push the.

things you. we will push the things as long as we. are winning because for. now we are winning. uh. we was very happy with the ukrainian uh. people uh raising patreon for their save. life in ua it was the number one patient. in the world they gathered for well i. don't. know thousand people i don't like that. because we're we're like the number two.

show on patreon and i gotta be honest. with you i worked a lot harder than. these uh ukrainians raising the money. we've got a lot more content they don't. have any content on that patreon so to. me that's a little ridiculous but i do. respect that. tell us. where to follow you and where to donate. because i we want to donate money and i. want to have all my fans that can and. want to donate money how do we follow. you. okay. uh you uh can donate money uh at save.
