I find, in this world, there is nary a git such as Rock & Roll Gary who exudes vintage charm with his out-of-touch smarm. There’s no one else I’d rather marry! 🥰 bdw happy prank day, Tim
Tim Beck
Me too! Though it's probably harder to get into her now with the ever-increasing intensity of obnoxious folks in her fanbase. Personally, I'm also less into the direction her last couple albums have taken musically, but that might not apply to (at least some of) The Trinity. Those caveats aside, she's an amazing artist. One of the very best of the last decade for sure!
Harrison
Vic’s rec is a great one!
Ami York
The mid-show break of these celeb cameos are things of nightmares lol

there's a bit of an LPC (who i love) style of unique vernacular with johnny hamcheck that i think is clever & entertaining. but I also think it's fair (and maybe correct) to look at some of the more hacky johnny hamcheck moments and think - is any of this worth the discomfort it causes to strangers?
Christian
Johnny is a weird treasure. Can’t understand the hate he got.
Christian
Friendship

Johnny Hamchek is great. I’m starting to think Tim doesn’t know anything about comedy.
Jon Nuehring
Agreed. Loved seeing them get a shoutout
jeff s
Would love to hear this as well.

I was sure someone would bring them up when talking about 80’s and 90’s beatlesque groups, especially since Liam was present.
ToddUmptious
Keep on suckin' n' blowin' <3 Anyone got a name for that guy? I need a daily dose of that.
Jim D.
WOW. Captain Carlin the break video was tip top tier! Thank you. That was like a Robert Altman masterpiece.
Jim Schroeder
Same. As a midwesterner, it’s fascinating for me to see how people from this region react and interact when being approached with his ridiculous conversations. Sometimes I do think he crosses lines, but generally it’s good-natured (but very strange) banter that results in amusement of some form or another, and he often lets them in on the joke. I wouldn’t “throw the baby out with the bath water” as Tim said, but also think it’s fair to criticize some of his tactics and videos.
Marika Giacinti
Tim's skin looks sooo smooth and soft on screen ahaha
Steven Meltzer
I will travel to the moon for the next Tim Fest, another amazing show!
Robert Van Vranken
So Johnny Cougar is now just basically the boomer version of that “Cash me outside girl” ?🤷
Gabby
Please can we have Mr. Bungle on again?
skeletonmeat
re: the foot guy - where is the line between adult horseplay and attempted murder?
William Riley
Saw that Scott Ian from Anthrax follows Tim on Instagram. He’s a big comedy guy and would be a great guest!
William Riley
Seconding this.

Heck ya.. worlds of greatness such as these are bound to collide! 💥✌😎
Chent
I’m with Vic - Johnny hamcheck is funny! Obviously hit or miss with some. Tim doesn’t “get it”
Toby K
No mention of Crowded House at all!?!
Adam Waugh
So sad to hear about Cola Boyy 😞xxx
Sam B
nice to see another "head" in the comments! Emil is such a brilliant artist
Old James
Yes! And my bad it's actually... "on to the next glass of royal crown" on the My Only Warm Coals version... 🙃🤟
Dan
Bob’s been doing that version of Masterpiece this whole tour leg. Saw him twice in Orlando! Also his phone thing was great. It really was nice to see a show without people having their screen brightness to 200% or their flash on. Super easy too. I hope it catches on
Sam B
seemed like Tim had no idea who Liam is? NZers only just recovered from the Connan Mockasin incident...
Sam B
he rerecorded that song and changed that line on a subsequent album lol
marshy
from the description: 'Today’s break video courtesy of Captain Carlin.' great work, matt! lol @ dave mustaine
🖤Cassie🖤
Tim should of went to club aqua they probably wouldn’t of given him any trouble.
Bryce Shell
Yeah right. That Florida guy ain’t got no wife ;)
Nicholas Miller
I second Liam's Mitski recommendation
Nick
I’d like the team to know, Vic’s intermission reels have quickly become one of my favorite parts of the program. Easily worth the price of becoming a patron on its own! Great work, Vic!
SpongeBob Marley
This was a great ep
Tim Heidecker
YES! Aiming for beginning of April. Looking pretty solid, but not announcing just yet. -matt
Sharon Morris
Since a zoomer brought up the smell of sex and gassss, when can we expect another game night?
Jenny Schmidt
happy opening day!!
Mark Bisi
The Beths freakin’ rule. Next time they are on the West Coast, they would be ideal OHL guests.
Old James
Tonic and gin is a great line. Like the lyric from Holy Sons - Aged Wine.. "on to the next glass of croyal rown" ...sometimes nonsensical switch ups actually make the song better! ✌❤🎵
Alexis Rickman
Can we please please here more about the Mike Love prank call PLEAAAASE 😩😇
Sebastian “bestia”
This will be my first Live show. Last two weeks after I found the Tim’s-ter’s I only did the archive.
SpongeBob Marley
Good morning Tim
