Caught up on this episode last night, having missed it first time around. The Dragnet clips in the middle break where the stoned parents discover their baby has drowned in the bathtub sent a shiver down my spine. Having kids makes you a lot more empathetic. It puts the fear of god into you. And thank you for bringing us some rap for a change, it’s great to see a bit more variety where musical guests are concerned. I enjoy early 90s hip hop but i feel culturally so far from the mainstream stuff you might hear out and about, i find it very inaccessible. I need a way of discovering worthwhile modern rap. I love the cut and paste nature of hip hop / the creativity of sampling and mashing things together to form a sort of hypnotic groove to rhyme over. The basic beat, loud low end and high top end. All that space in between for the voice. Every word loud and clear.

One of my favorite OHL musical performances. That was fantastic.

I love when there is different types of music on Office Hours.

What started as a solemn tribute turned into gags in a fine suit How we escaped harm under Gary’s charm confounds me (but weren’t the guys ~so~ cute?!) 🔥

My rec of the week is a podcast called Peter & The Acid King. It’s about the death of Peter Ivers.

Sam fuller is one of the absolute greats 💋
Will Ochs
Gregg Turkington and Mark Porch both mentioned "White Dog" when they appeared on OHL together. A solid recommendation from Fat Tony. Great show this week, lads!
Jim Schroeder
Vic’s break videos are so good. Every one so far has been a hilarious fever dream.

I've only bloody found it! So funny. I thought Howard was just incapable of humour these days but this is good. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QD-nCQn1Ads&pp=ygUoSG93YXJkIHN0ZXJuIGdvb2ZzIG9uIG96ZW1waWMgY29tbWVyaWNhbA%3D%3D

Gary is such a good vibe, his personality is infectious awesome chemistry & Fat Tony is so so good thanks for having him on! ps HELL YES DOUG- second the rec for the PBS app over netflix: super cheap + they have an amazing history of American music series where they feature the history of Hip Hop!
Brian
The king is back!!!
Brian
I thought that was Howard too
westend_td
FAT TONY killed it! Did not expect to see him here.
Henry Michael
Gulman comes off as kind of a bitter old man here. He's right to hate celebrity culture but he just seems bitter at individual young celebrities which is odd for how empathetic he normally is
Grant Peterson
Great laugh on Gary
Nick G
Oh hoho I hate this Stuck in my head for days Doug please is this Howard?
Tim Heidecker
sounds pretty dated to me
Jacob Kruse
My Recc: The Cowboys from Bloomington, INDIANA. Amazing music, I think Tim Heads will dig it. https://thecowboysnow.bandcamp.com/album/sultan-of-squat My Recc Request: Dougg's skincare and anti-aging tips!
the Dude
I reported you to the NYC police authority division for public urination.
Jeff Schmid
Is proof of COVID vaccine required at the Portland show or is the ticket purchasing site just dated?
lilula9
he was adorable 💕
Justin Maddey
not many rappers have been on the show, but they're always great guests when they are
Chalameybe
Loved the intermission ride! I bet Robbie will be fine.
Michael Wright
great ep folks, thanks
Kris of Nazareth
There is something magical when a guest doesn’t really know anything about the OHL world but gets a kick out of it. It’s like little kids and Xmas; seeing them experience it all for the first time takes us back to our first time. This show was and 11/10.
Jay Aubrey-Herzog
Tony’s rec White Dog was the last film by Sam Fuller, director of classic noir like Pickup on South Street and Shock Corridor. Scorsese wrote the introduction to Fuller’s autobiography.
Calum Alexander
Great episode guys!
Paco Slingscock
S P O R K LIFT!
Matt James
patreon members should get early access to tickets!!
the Dude
I came here to see if someone had the name of the song - thank you so much!
Ben Silver
Watched Lost in America tonight. Thanks for the rec! I’d like to add The Holdovers to the rec center. Someone on letterbox said it’s like getting beaten to death by a Cat Stevens album and I couldn’t agree more.
lilula9
I post reaction recaps on the OHL Discord about my favorite parts and I think it’s gonna be a looong post, such a good ep!
lilula9
we are swimming in the bounty
Carol
A perfect show today! So much fun! Thank you for all the fun and laughs, Tony & Gary were both fantastic too! Peace & love
Harrison
I just looked it up. I guess it's a demo circa 1978 called 'Whatever Happened To'. So good!
Di Drew
Went to show my partner the good parts of the ep when he got home from work, and had to show him the whole thing. I think we've got an all-timer!
Brian
A++ episode. Really hope that is not the last we see of Gary. Tony was a great hang too.
Brian
Nice job. There’s an OHL Strava group of you’re interested in joining https://strava.app.link/1YVTaDomaFb
Christian
Love Gary and love Tony. This was a killer episode. Tony even played my favorite song of his. Thanks fellas.
Sam tune
Boulder Theater is haunted Tim. I will call in to the hotline next week, possibly.
Dan
Can we get a (paid) Tim fest stream?
Dana
Amazing accomplishment and super special you called in and connected today!!🏆🧡
marshy
charming af gary gulman, fat tony in a tori amos t-shirt, and vaudeville? you guys are the best.
Knight
I called in about my 37 mile run today. For anyone that's curious, here's the route that I did: https://www.strava.com/activities/10307830805 Calling into the show to talk about this was special, because OHL is a huge part of my running life. I always look forward to my Friday runs because I know I'll have a new episode to listen to during my run. Last year I was training for a marathon and running a lot. I bought a running stroller for my two kids and every Saturday I would load them in and play an episode of "Please Please Let it Be" while we ran for hours through the streets of Brooklyn. I know in a decade I will look back on those mornings fondly.
TJ K
Fantastic show today gang.
lilula9
I admire your ability to touch..."that"
Todd Grewell
Thanks for having Gary on! This is a top-notch episode and you guys spent some quality time chatting with Gary.
Ian Horrocks
what was the john lennon song during vic's break video?
Jesse Kubanet
I think this has been my favorite show yet. “Stand by for…the fat shaming of Kieth Richards” really got me
Dana
Haha!! Right! I’d never want that responsibility!😛 I’ll stick to being a massage therapist and knowing if someone has “turtle neck”! 😂💚
lilula9
Nailed it, much better than my "tortitis". This is why WE should be the doctors.
Dana
Torticollis is a legitimate condition where head sticks out like a turtle. 🐢☺️😛
Count Crackula
Kissinger is, in fact, turtley enough for the turtle club.
Jason Luckey
Gary looked like he had a great time. And that made me have a fantastic time. Love this show!
skeletonmeat
fat tony was great
Seth Deysher
Today's break video was one of the best yet. Great job Vic!
Dana
Damn!! What a show!!!🤗🏈🐴❣️
Rok Pregelj
Recommending Mister Organ, a documentary by David Farrier who also did Tickled which was also insane.
Joss Humberstone
Getting Adam Curtis vibes from Vic's video work in the middle there. Very cool, funny & weird.
Elizabeth Rhodes
Yes!! Tony is the man! Can’t wait
