299.5. Phil Braun's Working Hours, Ryan Phillippe, Worn-Tin (Audio)

There were two new sheriffs in town when Doug and Vic were in charge of Office Hours this week... UNTIL Phil Braun barged in and took over with his own "Working Hours" show. Things were relatively on the rails with special guest movie star Ryan Phillippe filling us in on his bulking journey with Tim Heidecker, and musical guest Worn-Tin performing "Hard Erase" and "Kid Changed." But when Phil decided to appear on TMZ while still on the air with us, it turned into quiet chaos. PLUS, Doug's "Gu...

Greetings From The Golden Tulip

Good morning! I am writing to you from The Golden Tulip, a purgatorial airport hotel just a few short miles from Charles De Gaulle Airport outside of Paris, France! I should be sleeping in New York right now, but my flight from Florence was delayed an hour due to some thunderstorms over the Alps, which led me to miss my connecting flight in Paris. C'est la vie, I've been pretty lucky in my long traveling life when it comes to airports and airplanes, so it's hard for me to get too upset when ...

Doug's Tour Diary: Atlanta and Tampa

Good Horning! After returning from the exciting and vibrant cities of Europe, we are back in the good ol’ USA and it couldn’t be more mid! Two nights ago, we did Atlanta and had a day to check it out so Mike and I went to “Little Five Points” which I remember being a funky neighborhood with restaurants, bars, shops etc. The food options weren’t looking promising but we decided on a a Pho place. There was a DJ playing loud trap music and they had hookahs available. We were already se...

My first time there and I was quite exci...

New York Report #3

Wow! What a show! Congrats to all! And special thanks to JP for nailing the host duties! What a fun concept and we should do them annually.

Feeling a little wiped out this morning after a long week of shooting. Yesterday was fairly tame as we were back in a quieter part of Queens but the day before was a real whirlwind.

We started with a shot in Washington Square Park and the crazies were out. This one dude with a acoustic guitar strapped to his back who looked a little like that ...

New York Report #2

Good morning! Week 2 here in NYC - It's looking like a bright and beautiful day out there. Thanks for rolling with us this week - I wish my audio was better. I brought a nice Shure mic with me that's worked in the past but this time it's not - I think it's the DONGLE connecting the USB2 to the USB-C but that's just a theory at this point and haven't done full diagnostics on each component. I'm striving to get those diagnostics done ASAP, but it may run into some issues depending on my techni...

New York Report #1

This is an official New York Report.

Flew in Monday night. I decided on flying in later in the day, but not a full red eye and it was a big mistake. I left LA at 4:30pm and landed around 1am - it was 2am by the time I got to my hotel and I could NOT get to sleep. So I just tossed and turned... Luckily I didn't have much planned for the morning.

I'm here on a movie. A much smaller movie than the Albuquerque (red squiggly line) movie, but a much bigger part - I'd say the bi...

Tim's Blog: 8 More Years!

Can you believe it? 8 years of Office Hours. It all began when our friend Mark Zuckerberg launched a new feature on Facebook: Facebook Live. I'm sure there were other ways to broadcast over the internet back in 2016 but Facebook Live was so easy and instantly connected me to my built in audience right there on Facebook. I couldn't resist. I thought it was a clever way to promote my album In Glendale, which I'd just released and needed some explaining. I was hooked right away. I a...
