Joe Rogan catalogues his own recent LA experience: landing to find a warehouse ablaze with 85 million tons of chemicals, a car fire on the 405, and the general sensation of being evicted by nature and bad decisions. Dillon argues LA's core problem is structural: it arrogantly assumed the film industry would stay forever, overtaxed and overregulated it, and watched production flee to other states and countries. He quotes Santino's line that what remains is 'Hollywood the sequel' — not the real thing, just a second version of it. The Detroit comparison lands hardest: the only thing that might save LA is the weather, because the industry is gone.
Research cited in the Farmer's Dog ad shows dogs who maintain a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than overweight dogs.
At one time 80–90% of major films were shot in Los Angeles. That number is now 25–30%. Tim Dillon argues the industry didn't leave — it was driven out by arrogant governance, and what remains is a museum of a place that used to be cool.
