Captain's Log - March 2024
🕑 Added 2024-03-09 20:08:42 +0000 UTCHowdy friends, Captain Carlin (aka Producer Matt) here! Since Tim is in full On Cinema mode this weekend for the 11th Annual Oscar Special that goes live tomorrow Sunday March 10 at 4pm PT, I figured I'd rap at ya. OF COURSE you should buy a ticket and check out the merch bundle and rewatch the 10th annual special tonight at 7pm ET (4pm PT)!
Onto Office Hours show business: As always THANK YOU very much for your support. We couldn't do this without YOU. I see some common questions come up online, so here's some FAQ-ish answers.
Have any other questions, comments or complaints? Drop 'em in the comments below and I'll respond!
Watching old episodes - Patreon is not the greatest platform for surfacing old content. The workaround is to click the "full episode" tag under a show post, then filter by "video" and then start scrolling. As for After Hours - oof! I'm thinking if those all get tagged with "full episode" also then at least they'll show up when you sort that same way? I wish there was a better way to organize on here. If anybody has ideas lemme know!
Finding the first 99 (pre-Patreon) episodes - Listening is easiest by subscribing to the RSS here. Accept the prompts on that Acast page, then copy and paste the RSS code to your podcast player of choice. Watching ALL of them is a little less easy. This youtube playlist starts at episode 61. Going back further, for true completists, check out the OHL Compendium that Josh from the Discord put together which gathers EVERYTHING with links to the old Facebook streams.
Playing/streaming Patreon episodes on a tv/roku/apple tv/youtube - Unfortunately there's no way to connect your Patreon account directly to a youtube account, so the workaround for that is to create your own private YT playlist, sort on Patreon as described above, then start saving episodes to the playlist. Then you can use your roku/apple tv/etc to stream it wherever.
What program do Doug and Vic use for drops - Farrago. See more about Doug's process in this Douggumentary our pal Jack Birch made.
What's the address to send us your new record/thrift store find/etc - With full peace and love, we'd rather your treasures find loving homes than end up in the Glendale city dump. So please DM to check in before sending us stuff to make sure we have room for it and we'll let you know the mailing address.
Giving away extra tickets to live events - Again with p&l it's just too complicated/time consuming for us to broker ticket exchanges. You're best off posting on social where we'll gladly repost/add to stories and you can take it from there. The OHL Discord and Reddit are great places to connect directly with other heads too.

Thanks again and see you online Thursday and in Portland next weekend at TimFest!
Don't forget to take out the trash!

Love the new dynamic of the big screen behind the set - best utilised with Tim slapping the crap outta Vic and Doug, with sound effects

We watch OH on the Youtube TV app, not sure if there are Ad blockers for the TV app
Kyle
There are also several chrome extensions that block ads for free on YouTube.
Phil Copley
Dang, thanks for the reply though
Dan Gilbert
I'll pay $10 a month for Joel hole monthly. Ain't gotta be all Billy talk!
Tim Heidecker
Agree! We talked about doing that more earlier this year. Personally I think it’s also cool to just have a musical guest / good laugher and that achieves the same loose feel. We try to strike a balance. A lot is just scheduling where it’s somebody we want to have on and their calendar only lines up on a certain date. We also want to bring back some all timers / old pals this year.
Tim Heidecker
Thanks! We have a roster of folks we reach out to. But always open to new people joining the fun. Dan Mulcahy does the majority of them. He’s a HUGE unsung hero of Office Hours. He does all the fake ad art, he did the show intro, he does random videos and graphic design stuff. Shouts out Dan!!
Tim Heidecker
They are not turned on from our side. So if you’re seeing ads it’s standard unpaid YouTube crapola. Unfortunately the only way to have zero ads on YouTube is to pay for YouTube premium. They’re scoundrels and we’re all at their mercy 😡
Troy DeJesus
Amazing as always
Dan
Thank you Cap
Phil Copley
Would it be annoying to remove Youtube adds from the 2hr Patreon Office hours?
Nick Grant
So meta 😂
Jeff Stock
I love an occasional episode where it’s just the gang riffing, no guests. Thanks for all the laughs!
Jim D.
What is the process for episode art? It's a home run every week!
Tim Heidecker
Pretty sure it’s from the We Like Having Fun recap podcast (RIP). https://wlhf.podbean.com/ Is that the one that continues about my “little body walking out on stage”? TBH I don’t know the source or who’s doing like 90% of the drops. Then when one of the drops men is out I’ll be surprised to discover that one I was sure was Doug’s was Vic’s or vice versa.

Tim Heidecker
All is forgiven! And was already forgotten!
Kyle
How's your worm farm?
Nick Grant
Sorry ma forgot to take out the trash. What's the drop "Matt he's a really great guy"
Mister Social
Matt is just the best

You're such a thorough cap, Matt! Very excited to hear Stella is also a huge drops fan. Talk about being cultured. Hope to shoot the fat in the Zoom room sometime soon with you all. Thank you for all you do!
Clay N. Ferno
Peace and love! Sorry and ashamed for complaining in the chat one time. I take it back!
Branleigh
Thank you, Matt
Tim R.
Respect

The way I watch on my Roku is opening the episode on my phone from Patreon (which opens the YouTube app to play that). Then in YouTube there’s an icon over the video (looks like a screen with the 🛜 in the corner) that allows you to send it to TVs on the network. Then it’ll handshake with the YouTube app on your TV and start playing it there. (You can also AirPlay it as a backup or if there isn’t a YT app on the TV, I guess.) It is a good enough solution for my low-effort ass.
Johnnee
THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO MATT!!! BIG UPS TO MATT!!! <3
Tim Heidecker
🤐 sorry trade secret
Tim Heidecker
Mine? Lol. I haven’t paid for a haircut in 20 years. My friends in NY used to call it my pelt
Steven krieger
Aye aye captain!
BITKORN
Keep up the good work cap!
Tim R.
What’s the story behind Ty Segall not chatting? Was that just a bit because he didn’t have time to stay?
Sam B
what's your haircare routine?
Pete Michaelson
I followed someone’s advice to go through Patreon finding the older episodes and creating a private YouTube playlist with them; so far so good. The show is great; lots to catch up on.
Tim Heidecker
Done and done
Madeline Babuka Black
Love to the cap’n !!
luciamortar
Thanks for all your hard work Matt!!
Bobert
Also can you leave an open chat for various recommendations? Music, movies, etc?
Bobert
Patreon’s iPad app doesn’t allow full screen video for some stupid reason. It does on the iPhone. WTF?
Bill
Respectfully disagree sir.
TheReal007
Thank you for your time and answer
Tim Heidecker
I see what you did there!
Tim Heidecker
I dunno. Seems like diminishing returns to me. The second one kind of lost steam. But maybe. I think the club random and Rogan eps kind of took the idea of a parody episode to a more interesting place so we need to find our next one of those.
Tim Heidecker
I check pretty much everything - DMs on social, here. We get sent LOTS of clips so I can’t respond to it all. If it’s true gold I share with the trin.
Tim Brooks
no worries, cap!
Tim Heidecker
Show? Probably not. Send us a painting? Maybe! Can we see it first?
Tim Heidecker
Ugh we’re trying. Travel schedules have been crazy between Doug and Tim. Need the trin for a game night. Hopefully we can sneak one in early April 🤞
Tim Brooks
game night soonish?
Caleb
Can I do an abstract painting show where the guests sit so Tim doesn’t have to look at all his records? ;)
TheReal007
I follow OHL on basically all media and when I come across something I feel would entertain you guys, which one do you all check the most?
rainbowdark
🫡 Thanks, Cap. Wish making it out for Timfest is in the cards for me right now. Unfortunately not. See you ONLINE, tho! New studio's lookin' dialed in, btw. Nice work by the team! P&L!
Bill
Captain can we please get another WOHL Morning Madness ep? We are due.
Tim Brooks
matt is the captain...
