  • “If You’re Still Trying to Be Rational Now, You’re Crazy:” Comedian Tim Dillon on Being Informed vs. Being Ignorant

    “If You’re Still Trying to Be Rational Now, You’re Crazy:” Comedian Tim Dillon on Being Informed vs. Being Ignorant
    Dec 18 2025
    A Note from James:Tim Dillon is crazy—in the best way. Not “institution” crazy. Crazy smart. Years ago he told me things about Epstein, hustle culture, and how the world really works that felt outlandish then and obvious now. He’s quirky, honest, and usually right about what to pay attention to. Also, he’s flat-out funny. Let’s bring Tim back and see how much of that old conversation still hits today.Episode Description:This redux revisits James’s conversation with comedian Tim Dillon on narratives, media incentives, and why “it’s all a game.” Tim argues that most public debates are programmed like a TV network—stars, storylines, and predictable reactions—while the real action is off-camera. They examine why certain stories (Epstein, “suppressed” segments, political theater) catch fire and others vanish, the line between authenticity and performance in comedy, and how creators can actually build careers without gatekeepers. It’s a practical episode about staying sane—less who’s right, more how to think.What You’ll Learn:A “game” heuristic for news and politics: spot the incentives (access, ads, algorithms) before you react to the headline.An authenticity filter for creators: why work rooted in your own experience connects—and how to test if a bit or idea is “real enough” to spread.A simple media-diet protocol: cross-reference sources and avoid getting “programmed” into outrage cycles.Platform strategy 101 for comics and solo creators: post consistently, control distribution, and stop waiting for gatekeepers to bless you.Career anti-fragility for uncertain times: ignore hustle theater; build repeatable systems that survive algorithm and industry swings.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02] A Note from James — Why Tim’s “crazy smart” observations aged well.[03:09] Ignorance vs. Happiness — “If you learn how the world works, you won’t be happier—unless you make it fun.”[06:21] News Is a Bridge to the Next Ad Break — Access, scoops, and why some stories never see daylight.[08:25] History You Don’t Hear About — Smedley Butler, coups, and how missing chapters change the plot.[10:28] The Epstein Loop — From wall-to-wall coverage to silence—and what “access journalism” rewards.[15:38] How to Be Informed Without Going Insane — Cross-checking and opting out.[24:03] Rage, Class, and the Party at the Top — Why “difference” wins in politics and comedy.[38:04] UBI, Automation, and Fear Narratives — What’s real risk vs. campaign theater.[01:24:14] Owning Your Distribution — Algorithms, streaming “cartels,” and why your social feed is your venue.[01:30:08] From Garage to Millions of Views — The Megan McCain sketch and shipping scrappy work.[01:49:57] Authenticity Over Everything — Why “true to you” outlasts polished but hollow.Additional Resources:Tim Dillon — Official site / podcast hub: https://timdilloncomedy.com/The Tim Dillon Show (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/2gRd1woKiAazAKPWPkHjdsTim on Instagram (@timjdillon): https://www.instagram.com/timjdillon/JRE #1251 — Tim Dillon (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/12jteiLJyQaD85ynvJQBk9JRE #1390 — Tim Dillon (episode info): https://ogjre.com/episode/1390-tim-dillonABC hot-mic / Epstein backstory:Axios recap — https://www.axios.com/2019/11/05/abc-news-jeffrey-epstein-amy-robach-project-veritasThe Guardian — https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/nov/06/abc-news-leak-raises-questions-about-unaired-interview-with-epstein-accuserSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • How to Challenge Moon Landing Hoax Theories: Insights from Brian Keating

    How to Challenge Moon Landing Hoax Theories: Insights from Brian Keating
    Dec 8 2025
    James brings back astrophysicist Brian Keating for a practical takedown of moon-landing conspiracy claims—and a wider lesson in how to reason when everyone has a microphone. From the Van Allen belts to “the flag waving,” Keating separates physics from folklore, explains what evidence actually looks like (hello, laser retroreflectors), and gives a playbook for engaging friends who’ve gone down the rabbit hole—without losing your mind.MAKE SURE TO WATCH: Brian Keating's Video Debunking the Moon Landing Conspiracy TheoryWhat You’ll Learn:A simple framework for arguing well: define the claim, demand specific evidence, check physics and history, and compare against competing explanations.Why the Van Allen belts don’t “fry” astronauts and how Apollo minimized exposure (trajectory + speed + shielding).How we still verify Apollo today (lunar laser ranging off Apollo-placed mirrors).How to spot trope-based arguments (appeals to vibes, selective papers, “we haven’t gone back, therefore it never happened”).Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Opening: “What’s up with Candace Owens?” Setting the table: Bart Sibrel, viral platforms, and why this matters.[02:30] Rogan, Jesse Michels, and the megaphone effect. Platforms amplify doubt; why it sticks.[04:20] Thiel salons & the culture wars around ‘science.’ Belief, institutions, and physics “stagnation.”[06:15] The debate that never happened. Why Sibrel refused; what counts as a real debate.[15:45] Physics 101: Van Allen belts. Charged particles, trajectories, dose vs. time.[23:10] “We haven’t gone back” ≠ “we never went.” South Pole analogy; politics, cost, and program shifts.[30:00] Flag shadows, cameras, and remote control. Why the photo/camera myths fail basic engineering.[35:05] Apollo 1, the ‘lemon,’ and what actually happened. Tragedy, design fixes, and conspiratorial leaps.[44:10] Keating’s NASA work. Aviation safety, non-destructive evaluation, and why ‘NASA is useless’ is unserious.[57:10] Hard evidence you can measure: Apollo retroreflectors, seismographs, and international confirmations.Core references:Van Allen radiation belts — NASA overview.
