Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker

The luck o' the Irish smiled on all of us this St. Patrick's Day with the return of They Might Be Giants in studio and a HUGE surprise barge-in from the one and only Weird Al Yankovic! We brought back a classic OHL game "Definitely, Sure, No Thanks, or F*ck That," talked all about TMBG's upcoming album "The World Is To Dig" and spoke with lots of YOU on Zoom!

Calling all cork sniffers! Mike Mitchell, Armen Weitzman and Nick Corirossi from the hit movie "The Napa Boys" (among many other funny accomplishments) joined us in studio but were forbidden from promoting their new movie due to contractual obligations with Mike's other new movie "Micro Budget." Other than that we had a great time hanging out, Vic presented "Okay" starting Professor Jiang and we talked to some duds on zoom and the hotline!

What a treat to speak to legendary actor/producer/director/writer Griffin Dunne who shared stories from working with Martin Scorsese and Catherine O'Hara on After Hours, his experience on Johnny Dangerously and his wonderful memoir The Friday Afternoon Club. Then Tim's neighbors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman stopped by to complain and to talk about their new HBO doc series "Neighbors" and Shannon Shaw did a barn-burning rendition of "Cryin' My Eyes Out."

Go see Al Jardine and the Pet Sounds Band perform The Beach Boys Love You and much more at the United Theater on Broadway in LA on Friday, February 27.

If you thought it was pretty cool to have a former actual mayor on Office Hours (see episode 372), you're going to think it's also pretty cool that current Allentown, PA Mayor Matt Tuerk joined us in studio AND presented Tim with the key to the city. Fry up some scrapple, pour yourself a Yuengling and watch us cover topics including Yocco's, the Brass Rail, Agriculture Hall, A-Treat, the PPL Building and Dorney Park. Other non-Allentown topics included Bad Bunny vs. the TPUSA Super Bowl halftime show and Tim's own plans to run for mayor.

In honor of the 50th birthday of the one and only Tim Heidecker (Tim & Eric) the tables were turned to present Eric & Tim In Conversation with special guest host Eric Wareheim (Tim & Eric). Eric brought an inquiring mind, a lie detector, his own drops and a huge supply of riveting questions for this unforgettable morning. Topics ranged from personal to public and back again, and there were even some surprise video messages from very special men in Tim's life!

The forecast was mixed in Glendale this week: sunny with a 100% chance of musical guest Tropical F*ck Storm swooping in from Australia to shake the garage with "Paradise." Other bits and bobs included our first in-person City of the Day with former Glendale mayor Dan Brotman, an unfortunate exchange with Jordan from Factor Meals who was reilly unhappy with Vic's previous ad read, a look at first lady Melania Trump on the media campaign trail for her failing new documentary, and way more!

Tell everybody you know Fred's back (and front) were back on Office Hours this week to explore topics including John Lennon and Paul McCartney discovering pornography, whether or not Fred was on Bill Maher's Club Random, the CES convention, and to compete in Rock Wizard Trivia. Along the way we talked to some of you on zoom and had lots of laughs of course!

There's something about Mary Houlihan (comedian/painter) and musician Daniel Lopatin (aka Oneohtrix Point Never, Marty Supreme original score). And that something is that they were both wonderful guests! We laughed, we watched some weird stuff from Mar-a-Lago, we had some synth talk, some Pink Floyd, Billy Joel & Elton John talk, and we heard a poem from Jimmy Stewart.

Office Hours is back in business for 2026 and business is good on the first and last day of Jaynuary with our good friend comedian Jay Weingarten (Jay's LA) and 19-year old musician/alcoholic with degenerative conditions Jim E. Brown performing "I Know I'm Going To Die of A Stroke." Jay shared his 2026 mood board, Jim shared his salad cream butties, music legend Gary Wilson surprised us on Zoom, and the trinity shared advice with some callers. Rest in power Renee Good.

FYI: OHL was FML! Translation: for your information, Office Hours Live was Friday Morning Live this week. And it turned out to be a prayer filled blessing! Activist/merry prankster Robby Roadsteamer told us about being detained by the thugs from ICE for wearing a giraffe costume and singing funny songs in Portland. Things got a bit personal with writer/director Phil Johnston (Wreck-It Ralph, Zootopia) before he discussed his new Netflix movie "The Twits."
