Gomez and Nick Mullen, Dillon was also a co-host of the Real Ass Podcast spin-off podcast Bastard Radio in 2020.[12][independent source needed]
Vulture described Dillon in 2016 as "simultaneously a boisterous, conservative-leaning Long Island native and a thoughtful, homosexual foodie with a soft spot for frozen yogurt."[13] Rolling Stone in 2017 described him as "capable of formulating an articulate (and often contrarian) opinion about anything at a moment's notice."[10]
In August 2022, Dillon released his first standup special: Tim Dillon: A Real Hero.[independent source needed]
