ATTENTION LIVE SHOW CHATTERS! We're posting this here a couple hours early today so if you want to chop it up in the chat for the "free half" on YouTube at 10am PT (1pm ET) you can do that here. NO SPOILERS!
By da way we're cooking up a special LIVE variety show episode next week (Thurs. 5/30) and during the second half we'll be inviting YOU to share your talents. If you have a skill or talent that can be demonstrated in 2-3 minutes on zoom, it's time to check your internet connection and start rehearsing!

Observe phone etiquette, it's Silent, Not Loud Tim!
Gerard Scrase
As a Brit it was funny hearing them try to describe Eurovision. And also weird seeing the Dutch guy after he was kicked out of the competition for an ‘incident’ with a crew member backstage after the semi-final show
Alexander Darko
Really enjoyed this week’s ep! Loved the variety, and generally great energy in this one. Amazing for a zoom cast where it could have easily gone wrong. It’s always a 5-bagger/4star? when Vics parades a new guuuy. I was the one who “complained” last episode because it was the odd one out of 298 where it was entirely on One 1️⃣ subject. I didn’t mean for my criticism to sound rude, just merely wanted to express that I missed the variety of fun subjects from that particular ep. I agree sometimes you have to lay it on hard for trolls and general @sshole behavior but at the same time realize that you are releasing content on a platform that encourages listeners to provide feedback whether it’s favorable or not. -Big fan of all your teams’ work and of this community!

Discord peeps pointed out that David said it was a part of the Netflix is a Joke festival, so I'm gonna have to go ahead and doubt it. On the bright side, Maybe T will one day appear on his regular Podcast, or maybe David on OHL :)
George Urick
How so? They said in the episode that the comments are usually negative because the people that like it don’t say anything.
Peach Weber
I get why Tim doesn't like Suno and wants "real creativity" but as an audience member I don't mind a Suno when everyone's on the road and has little time. ✌️🫶

So cool that Tim was probably less than 50 feet from Lorne Michaels
Chalameybe
I hope so - I felt like the 8hr cast cameo was a weird way to leave things (even tho Tim wasn't there).
Chalameybe
there's a bit to unpack there

that cover was 🔥

Just scratch out the double Ts, and wear that Carhar proudly.

Plot Twist: Sabrina Carpenter is the musical guest.
Mladen K.
Exactly! Friend of the show too. Buddy Cole much...?
Ian Horrocks
Tim! If you're looking for another tasty slice in Williamsburg try L'Industrie Pizzeria and get the Burrata slice!

This ep had quintessential Quirky Quadruplet energy right here. What impresses me so much about you fab four is your dedication to keeping up with us, even in different timezones while essentially "on the job". I really liked the chill, Game Night-esque hang out feel.
Jay Aubrey-Herzog
Producer Matt has the best musical taste imho. It annoyed me when Tim shut down Matt’s Zorn rec a while ago. Not that I don’t appreciate Tim’s meat and potatoes dad rock too.
Kayla Boony
Tim mentions the BJ position during video call in but doesn't mention the fan just sitting on the ground not even on the ceiling and it can't be turned on?!
rainbowdark
It was somewhat implied but are we gonna see T on some kind of live recording of David's Crosscast in the future? I hope so 🤞✌️
Jim Schroeder
The long drawn out intro in Phil’s video had me in tears. We don’t deserve Uncle Phil’s comedy genius.
RevKyleRoberson
I gotta admit… last week’s show as an absolute BANGER!
George Urick
I never comment on videos but I’m here to say I love the show. I listen every week no matter the guest or topic. The less chaotic episodes are just as good as live.
KD
Totally not surprised by the Berlin crowd for Doug lol. It's def top 3 cities for me. Nice job Doug!
Zach Gilleran
cant believe there was no attention brought at all to the broken fan on the floor in the john lennon question zoom. turn that thing on
Zach Gilleran
loving this one! just the buds hanging out, i'm fine with more if it comes to it, love my guys. it's not shitty ok
Daniel Bourdet
The correct answer was Scott Thompson you dum dums.
rainbowdark
MASSIVE agree !!!
donnywax
Vic’s new guy is the best one yet
rainbowdark
Many are saying this
Roboflop
Starlord type beat
Roboflop
Vic’s new guy reminds me of guardians of the galaxy
Dan
If you start playing the video on your phone, pause it, then on tv go to your watch history you can bring it up. That’s how I do it
Madeline Babuka Black
My #1 gay guy is uncle Phil ❤️
marshy
glad to hear someone else asking for more DOUG'S BOUGS!
marshy
yaye for kaye! i appreciate tim's hostility towards the AI musics
marshy
they'll just have to bring her back on the show a few times to get it straightened out!
Mary Newman
That worked! Doug even brought in a guest so it was nearly like a live, from the garage, episode. I like how Matt is able to keep all the balls in the air no matter what. Have a great weekend All!
Branleigh
Matt tysm for sparing the birdies
John C.
Check out the Will Farrell Eurovision comedy on Netflix
John C.
Carhartt is a great product
Tim Heidecker
Next time say hi! -Matt

Who are these people hating on the last episode. I loved the last ep. I don’t care about The Beach Boys at all. I don’t listen/watch any of this because of the topics discussed, the point is ITS FUN!

The trinity is incapable of pronouncing Meg Stalter correctly, it’s their only weakness
William Riley
Ever thought of having an “all recs” show? I always like hearing everyone’s suggestions, could be cool to open it up to zoomers/hotheads for an episode.
Ellen Connaughton
Any big plans for episode 300?!
John C.
DO NOT besmurch The Dan!!!
John C.
I changed my mind, show NOT a jip. Pretty cool
Hanz
I cried laughing when I heard the olive on pizza story. It was a PITSA
Eric Doyle
Matt - love the O Terno rec! Saw you at the show! I went to both nights - really really great stuff - atras/alem is already a classic in my book.
Steven krieger
I just watched one of the Halloween specials of home improvement last night and all three of Tim Allen’s kids were Moe Howard.
skeletonmeat
didn’t think alex trebek was gay bc LPC was always calling his wife. looked it up and I guess it’s a relatively common mandela effect-ey mistake
Athena
Tom T. Hall looks like he could play the violin pretty well! As for talents Im a little nervous to demonstrate my skills still...
RevKyleRoberson
More Jokermen….see last week’s comments….Doobie Brothers is a HUGE downgrade
Melissa
Chopping wood to start the fire to burn all of my Carhartt clothing now that Tim called me a wine mom
Melissa
Yes I was in fact chopping wood Doug thank you
Jamie Babs
I’m loving this style of episodes! Do more of these please!
Tim Heidecker
there's workarounds - you can save this vid to a private playlist and get to it on your YT app.
MadWatcher
Doug or Vic!!! Could I please get a “shut the fuck uuuppppp” Tim drop please, it’s been sooooo long. Also, amazing episode as always guys!!! Makes my week every week.
Jennifer Martin
We have a bird nest on our back porch. I looked in and saw 1 egg different from the rest. Apparently cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds nests so they don't have to do the work of raising the babies!
John C.
What a jip...
Melissylvania
Already making me laugh at 2 seconds in is why I just can’t get enough🎤🎶 of all things OHL <3333
Ben
Yay! The first half is on regular YouTube. I’m just a baby if I have use Airplay
William Riley
Haha, came to type the same thing
Angelo Mike
Tim looks kind of like Michael Douglas in Falling Down today.
tabor
Neat.
