Christina Catherine Martinez, Christian Lee Hutson, Kurt Vile (Office Hours+ Ep 321)
🕑 Added 2024-12-12 16:00:09 +0000 UTCIt was a landmark week with two guests we loved so much they named them thrice! Comedian Christina Catherine Martinez brought laughter and possibly whippet-induced tears, and returning favorite musician Christian Lee Hutson performed "After Hours" from his new album Paradise Pop. 10. We talked beef tallow, saw Joe Biden tribute the Gwateful Dead at the Kennedy Center Honors, and solved a Ronnie Wood mystery.
PLUS, a surprise zoom from indie rock legend Kurt Vile, more laughter, more tears, some impromptu dopps, Doug's 3 Name Game, Vic's grotesque new guy and a visit to the Rec Center which you can check out at officialofficehours.com/reccenter
Tim Heidecker & The Very Good Band "Live At Kevin's" directed by Ben Berman is available for purchase NOW with a special discount for Office Hours patrons! Check it out at patreon.com/officehourslive/shop and use discount code “PRETTYMUSIC” for $2 off.

Vic's New Guy was the ultimate rollercoaster ride of emotions--from the dread and disgust I shared with Matt and Doug, to the utter elation that lifted me and the rollercoaster off the rails into the sky where I joined the New Guy. Thank you for the journey, Vic.
Brandon Fasse
of bigger concern, I found her to be not funny at all
will rockwell
One of my fave OHL eps ever! Wow
Michael Burke
🚨 Joke Alert: Nightmare blunt rotation with everyone crying about witnessing 10 seconds of someone using nitrous.
Anthony Garbutt
As Matt said, she’s obviously not doing it every day, and if done safely and with at least a 2-4 week break in between uses, it’s very safe. It wouldn’t be given to literal children in dentist offices if it wasn’t. A lot of the fear mongering of nitrous lately is completely overblown. it can and will literally paralyze you if abused, but a lot of the negative effects are reversible with the correct treatment. As with everything else, moderation is key, and if you have an addictive personality you shouldn’t even touch the stuff, as it can be very addictive. By itself it’s a pretty boring drug imo, but when used with psychedelics, it’s pretty incredible lol

Top episode! Christina was great

Yes we now update the live embed and swap it out with a new one for Patreon with the full two hours. This is what is embedded now. So try refreshing or maybe you need to clear a cache or something like that.

where do I find Doug’s shoegaze playlist?

My favorite episode, so much going on, almost surreal at points starting at Vics new guy and we'll beyond that.
Toni
I love Christina
Sean Carver
Felt like I watched this one next to a drunk teenager.. Regardless, great episode - killer tune!
Nick
I’m watching the video that shows up on the mobile app at the top of this post. Just flagging for you in case you can fix it for future episodes. As far as I know nothing has changed in how I’m accessing the episodes so maybe something on YT or Patreon changed that affects the way you distribute the videos.

Vic took us all on an emotional journey with that Guy
Brandon Rodriguez
Honestly top 5 episodes of the year! I was laughing so hard throughout!

Hm maybe you’re clicking an old link. Full OH+ is embedded in this post.
Josh Hunt
[with P&L] - to me, "it's not like smoking a blunt" (as you repeated on other platforms) is far more concerning than any nitrous-huffing in this episode, especially considering the point of your post
Tim Heidecker
should be fixed soon! check back in a lil bit and it should work
S. Walker

Yeah same for me

Has Tim banned anyone from mentioning Luigi? By that of course I mean the the Mario Bros. character.
Okane84
You could always skip the episode 🤷♂️

A little aggro, but Snoopy is a beagle, she was right 🤔

I love Kurt Vile. Great surprise guest. Enjoyed seeing him live last year and I’ve had his Must Be Santa cover stuck in my head all week 🤘🏽

This seems to only be the hour long version

This is only the hour long version it seems?

James Conrathe
brilliant and a welcome return to Office Hours keep it like this
James Conrathe
and just like that you give me a fuck you with an outstanding episode.
Hanz
Yeah I wonder if it comes across differently if you've seen a loved one/you yourself have dealt with this drug. I hear you!! It might be a fun joke if you're not familiar with it, but I also cringed when it happened on the show. Other than that it was a really, really fun episode!!!
Matt B.
This was a good one. I look forward to future updates on Vic’s new guy.
Matt B.
He ‘bout to be Father John Missing

Goddamn!!! Best show ever!! What the hell was that woman huffin'???
Cole J. Batty
Wow
Mick Zazworsky
God I hope Redbar doesn't see the comment section re: the nitrous.
Eli
Absolutely great show! Much thanks to all involved!
Goose
Vic’s new guy descending into “Faces of Death” territory, voyeuring a podiatrist appointment, and the flashback to Steve-O doing whippits on “Tom Green Live” were all unexpected and mostly delightful.

Never update

If we start using the "but it was a joke" nonsense every episode we're heading down the wrong path here! kyle mooney isn't funny. 🧱 😶🌫️
Dan
The reveal at the end of Vic's new guy had me in tears 😂😂😂
marshy
vic's new guy lmaoooo
marshy
joining the 'whip its are bad' choir. this episode was one of the very few opportunities to watch live and the youtube chat was toxic af to the few people voicing concern about this topic. disappointing experience. peace & love to all (except a few dickheads from chat lol)
skeletonmeat
not really related to the ep, but a thought I had during it was that, at some risk, it would be SO cool for the VGB to sneak in a Vic song (numb) on the tour & have our guy take the mic in crazy type of twist
Sean M
Absolutely chaotic vibes. From Vics new guy, to the whippits, the kj call had me in tears. Daddy done did it again!
Alex Cook
Nitrous is legal. I’ve seen alcohol consumed, talks of mushrooms, weed, tobacco etc on OH. Should all of these substances be banned from usage/conversations on the show?
Audrey Gore
Except for Doug mispronouncing Spokane!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Audrey Gore
Great episode this week
Tim Heidecker
Only responding because you specifically requested. I think comment sections are a horrible place for conversation. To my knowledge it was nitrous. I have no idea about the veracity of her "mental problems" that's personal. To clarify the joke in my subjective opinion, she was joking that the alleged nitrous was her "medicine" for anxiety. Seems like a pretty straightforward/fair game/dumb joke to me, but that's just my opinion. If it didn't sit well for you, that's fine and you can complain all you want.
Jacks Briones
seconded- real wildcard moment there! I didn’t find anything wrong with it, personally.
broken windows
KJ shutting doug down was a legendary move
Hold Space For My Tribe
I thought it was very funny
Devon Bennett
100% agree.
brian bonelli
Thanks!
Mojib
Always a treat to see you on the show!
Mojib
Just to clarify. Your goofs, spoofs and bits - I love them. And comedy is subjective and maybe I'm a dumb dumb but bringing whippets and saying your addicted to them as a gag is difficult to swallow for me having dealt with addiction. She clearly states she has mental problems (unless that was a joke as well). And if there's any time to just clarify a joke, I think this is it. Again, underlining here that please Google for yourself and read up. And Matt, please don't bring this up as a "some members just whine and complain as always". I'm simply noting that it didn't sit well for me, and I've been a listener since day one and never once complained.
Mojib
Alright, so the joke is that she's not addicted? But the nitrous she's taking is real?
?
I found it to be a strange thing and don’t understand why she was doing it on the show. It didn’t seem like it was for the laughs.
Logan S
this one was unhinged. in a great way. 10/10
Tim Heidecker
JOKE ALERT. She was joking. She does not have an addiction. -Matt
Will M
Totally agree. Between that and Vic’s dead guy the vibes were off for me, with peace and love.
Mojib
Big fan here. But the casual use of Nitrous oxide was triggering. It's not like sharing a blunt, a glass of wine or similar. Heavy use of Nitrous oxide causes permanent brain damage. That nerve damage is not something you regain. While in small dosages it's fine but the way she was using it, indicates an addiction. That might be wrong for me to assume but clearly having to casually use it during an interview is worrying. Ask your pal Dave England on Steve-o and his severe addiction to nitrous and the damage it caused him. Or how Kanye West has embraced it and how worried the community is for him. In the end, it's the casualness of her usage is what worries me to those who view the video. Some calling her cool for doing it in the comments etc. Just please research and make your judgements for the next person who want to pass it along or treat it as an anti depressant. Or just a fun thing to do.
Devon Bennett
Vic's new guy was absolutely diabolical jesus christ vic
Athena
I like to use a Q-tip when I explore my nasal cavity myself, I feel like I'd probably dip it in isopropyl alcohol and carefully wipe it if it was hurting (probably would hurt more though sorry) hope Tim's nose feels better soon! God bless us! Everyone!
