Office Hours Live is a weekly call-in show with Tim Heidecker, DJ Douggpound and Vic Berger (aka the holy trinity). Every episode you'll hear sound bite battles, drops galore, special guests, and Tim's rants and riffs on politics, music, his kids and whatever else is happening in his life, and the lives of our callers. Support the holy trinity, get the full two-hour show, the entire archives and more at patreon.com/officehourslive.

Comedy

Oil up your beard and break out the triple IPA because standup guy/comedian Kyle Kinane joined us from Portland to share some fun and laughs, along with a tribute to the late, great Steve Albini, a zoom from our old friend/new movie star Uncle Phil ("The People's Joker") and Tim's recap of the original "Planet of the Apes." And then hold onto your hair because it could easily be blown off from our exclusive studio session with African guitar master Mdou Moctar and his red hot band performing “Sousome Tamachek" live in our studio. 
Watch or listen to another hour of the show with more Kyle, another tune from Mdou Moctar, a master debate between Tim and Vic on Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted" movie, Vic's Chicago band game, a surprise zoom-in from Doug and Eric Andre, and get tons of other stuff when you subscribe to OFFICE HOURS+.
