I was 13, I was with my friend, and Vinny said to me, he goes, "Do you wanna know the secret of life?" I said yes.
Tim dillon show crack#
TD: Someone said to me in a crack house, this is one of the greatest things I ever learned. And that life has positives and negatives.
TD: That crack has, positives and negatives is one of the lessons. I learned a lot of lessons.ĬG: What are the lessons you learned at 13 at a crack house? I learned some of the greatest lessons of my life in crack houses, I mean.ĬG: How old were you when you started hanging out in crack houses, and you say you learned lessons? I was hanging out with people much older than me.
You didn't have a cell phone, nobody was bothering you. TD: Well, no, but what I'm trying to say is it was a great time to be a kid. But we were awash in drugs, you know? It was the end of this era -it was before 9/11, so it was really the end of this era of -so that I think it was like, to be a kid then was amazing.ĬG: No, I have to jump in and say.that you have to understand.ĬG: You have to understand most people don't say that, “Oh, oh, it was before 9/11." I come from a town on the South Shore of Long Island that when my Dad moved there in the 1970s described it as like "tough." And by the time I was growing up it was the '90s. TD: Well, I did a line of cocaine with my friends, in-in my friend Tina's backyard, and we did a few, and then we started to do it somewhat regularly, you know. You even hear some what I would say are generally concerning stories of someone who says, "Oh, I started drinking when I was 12."ĬG: You're the only person I know who says they've started doing cocaine at the age of 12, is that true? And if comedy works, that's nice too.ĬHRIS GETHARD: Now, I've heard of people who say like they smoked their first cigarette at age 12. My dream is to be a traveling salesman through America. I idolize hucksters, thieves, cons and cheats. I'm politically all over the map, though I lean conservative. And he can tell me the perspective of a drug addict, and he can tell me the perspective of a conservative, and of an angry guy.all these things that I think I am not. He's so smart and manic, and just throws all these opinions against the wall. He was like a hurricane, it was like a hurricane or a tornado hit the room. I had to follow him-I had to go after his set. I did a show with this guy a few years ago. They were like, "We hope you would never do anything like that." And I was like, as bad as things get for me, do you have any idea how long of walk it is to the middle of that fucking bridge? So you can only imagine the phone calls and the emails that I got. I told my friends and family that I was gay the same week that happened. A young gay student prematurely ended his life by jumping off the George Washington Bridge. TD: A couple of years ago, there was a tragedy. Comedy becomes like static, you just watch all these 's just background noise, comedy after awhile. And look-when you're a comedian, you're just around comedians all the time. Anna talked to me a while back, along with my wife Hallie, about comedy and depression and anxiety, our careers-all the things you've come to expect from this great podcast that I'm lucky to be a part of. I myself-a former guest on Death, Sex & Money. We're going to catch up with Anna a little later in the show. I'm Chris Gethard, filling in for Anna Sale. The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.and need to talk about more. TIM DILLON: I mean, nobody admitted my mother was schizophrenic, and she was talking about Elvis being her dad.
