Let's Lower The Temperature?
Added 2024-07-17 03:42:45 +0000 UTCHey Friends, Tim here, I just wanted to send a message to address Robby on the show today, because I made the mistake of watching back with the live comments...
Obviously, I disagree with her on a number of things that were brought up on the show, such as important issues like abortion, the environment, trans rights, etc are just wedge issues... and I feel like I pushed back on that without it turning into an argument. And I think you all should know quite well by now where I stand on those issues and one guest who poses a different perspective (which I believe was mostly exaggerated for comic effect) shouldn't change anything from our show's point of view.
I thought the lesbian haircut stuff was funny at first and our friend from Indiana seemed to roll with it and I guess in the moment, I felt like Robby had some room to play here as an out and proud lesbian herself, but looking back it does seem to be over the edge. I wasn't thrilled when it came up again but good old Mary Anne who we love held her own and we've spoken privately and i think cleared the air.
What I found disturbing in the comments were the snap judgments on her as "not funny" and "bad vibes" and "I don't get this" and of course more specifically comments about her looks, and her ethnicity. It eerily reminded me of the reaction to our work back in the day, and felt like... i don't know... I'm all for free speech, and I'm not trying to silence anyone but maybe if we don't instantly react to something - let it sink in and maybe you'll turn around on it. Maybe not. And thats ok too. Despite her dipping into uncomfortable territory, I think Robby's funny and has a really interesting and unique background and story.
Look folks (i can't resist doing Biden) I know this is a really special community. That's why I'm writing this. Many of you are artists and creators and rightfully sensitive people who care deeply about making this a non-toxic place to gather each week. And so, I'm sorry if our show today disappointed you. But if your issues on the show today are more style and preference on what you personally think is funny or not, I'd just ask you to be respectful about it or just take a beat and see if it's really that big of a deal. You know we'll just be back next week with someone else you might like or not like but we're all doing the best we can to put on a good show for ya'll and we love doing it. Just a little friendly advice from me, not at all an edict or a declaration of any kind.
More importantly we forgot Recc Center today!
And so I'll recommend The Regime on HBO - I watched most of it on the plane and it's a pretty sharp satire of what a sick and dying totalitarian dictatorship looks like. Kate Winslet is fantastic in it.
Matt recommends The Dub Codex Playlist
Vic and Doug please SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS with your reccs and any other thoughts you have!

As I was the friend from Indiana, I didn't really feel offended. I was thrown off, but I rolled with it as the OHL vibe comes of a safely chaotic. The guest wasn't familiar to me, but I was willing watch the show or join the Zoom call for more info. Hell, I even followed Robby on Instagram after the show because I was curious about her stand up. I've been hurt by worse people, so I wasn't offended. And I apologize if I looked like I was. I do enjoy OHL, and hope to enjoy more of it.

2024-09-17 21:37:08 +0000 UTCmy main takeaway: this could all be prevented if they just went back to taking phone calls instead of Zooms. bring back the original format of Office Hours. less guests, more Trinity....OHL is a CALL IN SHOW!!

2024-08-03 21:41:44 +0000 UTCi agree 100%, the first 100 episodes were the golden era in the AbsoLutely studio
Nicholas H.
2024-08-03 21:32:28 +0000 UTCThere isn't much to agree or disagree on, as she didn't really state a real opinion. It was humor on a comedy show. You mention you appreciate your community, but in my opinion the angry people don't represent your community. They are a tiny portion of unhappy people. Your community is people that like to have fun, that like to laugh. That understand humor. Robby is great. Any comedy show that bends to these nuts becomes an unfunny comedy show.
Derek Aspenberg
2024-08-03 18:14:41 +0000 UTCIt truly is weird bc Office Hours used to be so “mean” and abrupt in the beginning, especially in how Tim talked to Zoomers. At some point the show became more courteous and the fans got super sensitive & easily offended
Lise Silva
2024-08-01 05:42:31 +0000 UTCAnyone, man OR woman, with this amount of arrogance and self-importance with so little charisma or comedic chops to back it up is bound to be insufferable to listen to. Worst guest in 300+ eps

Jae
2024-07-23 20:50:02 +0000 UTCI don't get why everyone thought she wasn't funny. I might've not agreed with her 100% on everything but I don't need to to be able to find someone's schtick funny. I enjoyed the episode.
Jae
2024-07-23 20:49:07 +0000 UTCFine I’ll be the one to say it. She wasn’t funny at all.

2024-07-23 18:14:46 +0000 UTCyea! when those loser s4m hyd3 fans would call in .. they kinda ruined the vibe/charm of rando callers ..

2024-07-23 01:09:14 +0000 UTCi feel like when a male comedian does this kinda dry “mean” bit it’s funny ! but if a woman- esp a gay and not conventionally male gaze-y “attractive” woman does it, it’s suddenly seen as rude and ugly lmao i love robby i think she’s hilarious and off putting in a regular comedian way ?? saw her first on the adam friedland show <3 y’all are way too sensitive if this was in any way bothersome to watch !

2024-07-23 01:04:07 +0000 UTCLoved how the Trinity rolled with the punches, felt good to be challenged in my face like that and to be able to laugh and show how nimble i can be thanks to the ever wise and intelligent OHL crew. Thanks for the show!

2024-07-22 16:08:26 +0000 UTCJust watched this. Didn't think it was too bad, I think she's funny. Peace be with you

Alexander Connolly
2024-07-21 15:55:23 +0000 UTCThe RedBar Facebook group is mocking this post and all the comments and hand-wringing. And I kinda agree w/ them. Robby was great, if you didn't like her, okay, cool, move on. No need to share your feelings, no need to draw attention to yourself. Just stop listening, & come back next week, I'm sure the show will be more to your liking then. Or maybe not. Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name...and it feels like home.

Sarah Hoopes
2024-07-20 16:11:29 +0000 UTCI really loved the episode. I just got on patreon to leave a comment about how hard I laughed, and how much I NEEDED to laugh while everything sucks so bad in our country. Honestly crazy to see how much everyone must hate to hear a woman whose opinions & humor differs from their own... Time to punish her by talking shit? Disgusting.
aaay
2024-07-20 02:04:42 +0000 UTCI thought it was pretty well accepted that comedians are allowed to be offensive and push peoples boundaries. It's part of their role in society as sage-entertainers right? I don't understand why people being offended matters at all, it's a cruel world and comedy embraces both the laughter and the tears. Being ribbed makes your skin thicker, at the end of the day YOU are the only one who lets anything hurt you. I would hate to see this wonderful show change because some of the viewers are entitled baby-adults. One of my favorite aspects of the show is Tim being totally transparent and downright blunt with callers and guests, its refreshing and cathartic. Don't we all wish we could speak our minds more? I don't want to watch a show full of only "nice" people.
man
2024-07-19 20:03:22 +0000 UTCContrarians, like Robby, are common in the queer community but it doesn’t mean they’re tolerated. It explains why she dates outside the community.
Amber Keyes
2024-07-19 17:37:24 +0000 UTCCarlitos I hope you stick around because the chatter around here is usually a lot less spicy. Robby was a controversial guest (hence all the conversation). As annoying as some of the arguing might be, I think it probably helps the hosts calibrate how they run the show, with the understanding that it ultimately might not be for everyone. I have a strong feeling that KD and SpongeBob are actually huge sweethearts IRL like you are and their pointed language comes from a desire to defend the guest against criticisms they perceive to be unfair. Wishing you the best.
Faux Vernon
2024-07-19 16:59:29 +0000 UTCThanks for making this post, Tim. As a long time follower of the pod, and mostly lurker, I rely heavily on this show and community to maintain my sanity in a world gone mad. This isn’t the first guest who has voiced opinions or ribbed guests in a manner that differs from what we’ve come to expect from the trinity, and that’s ok! It’s going to happen. You pushed back at times without turning it into an unproductive argument, which is sometimes all that can be done. We all know where you stand, and I do believe that sometimes it’s important to step out of the echo chamber a bit and let in voices that differ from our own. I have no sense of entitlement to this community, I would be sad if it went away or changed dramatically for the worse, but at the end, I realize this is your creative vehicle, and we are just along for the ride. Drops were on fire today, the game was great, and I loved the concert video and the Springsteen/REM talk.

Deleting social media a couple years back (except the occasional comment on here) has done wonders for my mental health.

skeletonmeat
2024-07-19 04:32:34 +0000 UTCIf you want to have uncomfortable discussions, you have to be willing to accept uncomfortable responses. I don’t agree that sensitively in this case is one-way; being sensitive about being criticized is also silly. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. I mean, when you say no one actually cares about abortion, for example, and that you don’t care actually either way because it doesn’t effect you, you’ll need to accept criticism for that kind of thinking.
Count Crackula
2024-07-19 03:21:15 +0000 UTCOther people should be allowed to answer questions without being talked over, especially when she added nothing of substance (imo). Thankfully the Zoomers & Trinity had grace and tact. P&L, as always
Goose
2024-07-19 02:45:05 +0000 UTCRobby was funny and insightful. Love the dry edgy takes. Commenting on the looks of zoomers felt unskillful. One person seemed very uncomfortable and the poking continued. Wasn’t fun to watch. Otherwise, it was a great episode and appreciate Robby’s intelligence and humor. The emotional intelligence could use some work
Carlitos Guey
2024-07-18 23:08:03 +0000 UTCI started listening/watching recently. It’s great comedy and even better vibes. Also, the great conversations around socio political topics are fucking great and more real than what’s out there in the mainstream market. It’s a great show.. I appreciate Tim as the conscious authentic person that he is maybe others like some like a Tim and Eric version or other character version of Tim that shows up and razzes zoomers. Sometimes people will get offended and that’s ok. What’s the need to call them soft? Especially if someone may have taken offense and being made fun of because of their personal appearance? And why pile on someone who’s a contributing member to this community? Why replicate the toxicity that exists out in society? So let the show be the show. And if SpongeBob and KD is the gatekeeping vibe of the community, maybe I should self select out of this community and just enjoy the show for everything I enjoy it for.

There’s a cushion there of familiarity and comfort. Different when you’re taking a browbeating from somebody who you may have never heard of.

Faux Vernon
2024-07-18 20:08:17 +0000 UTCI have like no awareness of Robby as a comedian, and I thought it was an exaggerated character, and knowing where everyone on this show stands on relevant issues - I didn't bat an eye. But when Robby was harping on callers haircuts - that did feel uncomfortable, and I got the vibes that maybe it didn't necessarily make some of the callers feel great.

Russ Hull
2024-07-18 17:24:41 +0000 UTCI thought the show was interesting and hilarious as always, and you handled it all really well, Tim. It's refreshing to have people with different perspectives on the show, even if not everyone agrees with their points. Robby was def pushing it for comedic effect....because she is a damn comedian! So everyone needs to just CALM DOWN - with Peace + Love. However, I do think that maybe it should just be a standard rule across the board that you guys (and all guests) don't comment on people's appearances. Love y'all
Alexis
2024-07-18 16:43:40 +0000 UTCInsulting zoomers (playfully or otherwise) is something OHL rightly stamped out. Robby is so funny, but that stuff just feels out of place on the show. And it’s crazy that for a lot of people Robby being queer means it’s okay for her to insult nervous/excited audience members.

KD
2024-07-18 14:44:53 +0000 UTCListen to the very first episodes, it was a lot looser and fun when it was just Tim and callers weren’t screened. I think the screened Zoomers really changed the ‘culture’ of the fanbase. Just my 2 cents.

KD
2024-07-18 13:40:19 +0000 UTCI didn't hate Robby. I just couldn't tell if she was doing a bit or not with all the Trump shooting stuff and other things that may be a little too big to joke about right now. It reminded me of the posts Vic had made instantly calling the thing a conspiracy, which already troubled me this week. To be fair to her, it was an awkward spot to be on a podcast having the shooting being brought up and stuff. But to hear all the conspiracy stuff and dorm-room politics about how voting doesnt matter, in a world where one of the parties is full of rabid pieces of shit that would be thrilled to illegalize gay marriage and the very idea of being trans - i'm sorry but whatever bit was intended failed to connedt. I left a comment saying I've seen her be funny elsewhere, because I think her JFL special and podcast are both fucking hilarious. I see people ascribing all kinds of motives to me (as a theoretical person anyway) that have to do with being a cis male. I'm sorry, I know we do problematic shit all the time and I do my best to be an (imperfect, I'm sure) ally, but nothing relating to her gender or sexuality crossed my mind as I had that reaction. I reckon this is a conversation that is better had after we've beaten back all the anti-LGBT scumbags - the threat is just too big for intercene shit. In light of all that shit, I can understand why people would need to put my opinions in that box.
Heath Gardner
2024-07-18 13:01:23 +0000 UTCFunny women really make these people uncomfortable. I wonder why. Personally as a woman who sees a bit of myself in Robby it’s definitely a little disheartening to find out all the commenting snowflakes hated her. But they’re probably just jealous cause she’s funnier than they are. And Tim/fellow commenters, I would recommend revisiting Hypernormalization by Adam Curtis. Her point about the similarities between democrats and republicans is an important one to understand if we ever want to truly defeat fascism. 💖
Amber💖
2024-07-18 11:30:15 +0000 UTCThe episode felt a bit rough just listening to the audio but once the context came in that Robby is queer those specific jokes no longer bothered me. I do think there is something to be said though about ironic edgyness that does not punch up. I do not expect too much pushback or argument on a show like this (remember Jan Terry saying the jews control everything? That was awkward) at the same time I do think we should be careful about slipping back into this type of humor that was so prevelant in early 'alt comedy' just because it is ironic and the audience knows it is a joke does not make it fun or inoffensive or age well. Some of the shit Michael Ian Black used to say for instance, a lot of Neil Hamburgers old bits or the entire Wonder Showzen series (or the rape jokes in Awesome Show) I think are good examples of jokes that were funny in the moment but suck now looking back. Just something to think about considering that weak shitty women in the kitchen type riff from David Cross' podcast. It is tough to know where the edge is but generally if it involves a group you are not apart of and is singled out for mistreatment in society I say leave it alone and drop it from your go-to comedy moves. Laugh about whatever you want in your own life but it feels odd to me this long after so many of these issues have been so thoroughly expressed even in the mainstream that people still find this trite stuff funny. I know Tim knows all this, I heard him speak on it recently in reference to his Stand Up character and where 9/11 jokes fall on that line and obviously he is not a mean spirited person but I think this is still worth reflecting upon. Peace and love.
TrashVHS
2024-07-18 07:27:48 +0000 UTCThis is so silly - Robby is a fucking queer comedian. Just because your straight cis white male audience doesn’t get it is no reason to go out of your way to make some kind of statement. Robby talks like any standard lesbian (calling everything and everyone gay) and also THANK GODDESS for an active and engaged guest. If it’s not your cup of tea then tune out bozos, many people enjoyed her.
Allison Hopstad
2024-07-18 06:08:34 +0000 UTCOh, as a queer non-binary AFAB I thought she was super funny. To me it came across as dry LGBTQIA+ humour, which we make in our communities all the time, but I guess it doesn't translate to the non-LGBTQIA+ crowd. I wasn't in the live chat, I thought she was kinda doing a character or exaggerating things, so I went on that assumption. Sometimes it felt like "we get it OK" but I actually was engaged the whole time
Di Drew
2024-07-18 04:13:01 +0000 UTCAt first I didn’t really like the haircut thing cause I wasn’t sure if it offended the caller not that it really should. But then once Robby started talking about her gf im like oh she’s lesbian so to me it kinda seems okay for her to say those things. I also forgot I knew who Robby was cause I’ve listened to an interview with her on casino boys a podcast whitmer Thomas and his friends use to have. Her story is worth listening to! I never have to worry about your views on things cause we already know. I understand wanting to keep the peace & not having arguments. “EVERYBODY JUST COOL OUT!”

rainbowdark
2024-07-18 00:31:59 +0000 UTCI respectfully disagree. Voting is the only, the last thing we can do…so just throwing our hands in the air and giving that up will only make things worse, not better. Not voting does nothing to hold anyone accountable except allow the worse of the “both sides” system to fully entrench themselves into power, at which point we won’t even have the ability to vote (unless it’s on their terms and for their side).
David Natkin
2024-07-17 23:53:48 +0000 UTCOnly offensive thing about Robby was choosing to see Louis CK live! Okay, that’s my time. I thought the show was great, but thanks for this, Tim. Peace and Love.

2024-07-17 23:53:32 +0000 UTCI thought the show was great. I like to think I am as "middle" or "independent" as they come. I like edgy jokes. I respect people. And I think I can tell when someone is coming from a bad place. In this case, I didn't get that feeling at all. Great show!

2024-07-17 23:32:02 +0000 UTCReading some of these comments about not voting being a legit position and both parties are the same reminds me why the late 90s are back and nu-metal is having a nostalgic resurgence.

2024-07-17 21:37:52 +0000 UTCI would argue that the United States has been fascist for certain populations for a very long time and that's why I don't appreciate the scare tactics of that threat, along with all the other aspects of our government that are trash.
Carly Melancon
2024-07-17 21:34:58 +0000 UTCThere are plenty of Texans with the same views as Robby. And her attitude of I don't care was a great demonstration of what the two teams being the same bullshit has done to us, especially younger folks. The answer is no longer voting, we can't keep up this charade. We need to actually hold these assholes accountable.

2024-07-17 21:26:14 +0000 UTCRobby is a genius comedian. Her takes are not safe and challenge neo-lib norms. The “Abortion isn’t an issue” take is a reflection on dems and Biden completely snoozing on Supreme Court turning over Roe v Wade; not recycling?? no American can say ANYTHING about recycling, get real, we produce so much waste for our sippy coffee drinks and water bottles. As for the hair comments, she’s a lesbian comedian! Office Hours fans hating on World Record Podcast and Phil Braun and Robby and other guests for not “fitting in” is ridiculous and LAME

2024-07-17 19:33:32 +0000 UTCRe: Tim being rude to fans I've been an avid watcher of the last 34.5 episodes (come cringe at my weekly recaps on the Discord) and I really haven't seen Tim being rude to callers for a long time. I think you're referencing last season's schtick. But things can change, which is always exciting. Who knows, maybe this will become Working Hours when Tim goes full-time indie actor/rock star!

2024-07-17 19:04:09 +0000 UTCIn the end, Tim and his guests are 100% allowed to speak their minds on the show, just like we’re allowed to speak ours in the comments. To say either side needs to shut up and toe a line is ridiculous
Daniel Miller
2024-07-17 19:00:36 +0000 UTCDon’t let the wokesters getcha down, Tim. The show was (primarily) two comedians enjoying a free flowing conversation about life, politics, etc. Nothing remotely offensive (or groundbreaking tbh… you can easily find a million people on Twitter with Robby’s political stances) from my point of view 🤷🏻♀️ It was a fun and funny show!
Dennis Mizzoni
2024-07-17 18:54:52 +0000 UTC100%, we also don’t have the luxury of getting to complain about the little (relatively) things this election. It is an absolute binary choice between democracy or dictatorship. We really can’t be complacent. If they have to rig up Biden Weekend at Bernie’s style by the election, so be it. He’s already got the sweet shades for it. Just vote blue.
Bigolelargeone
2024-07-17 18:47:47 +0000 UTCI thought she was hilarious. So she has some normie political takes, so what. I felt like her "meanness" was clearly within the magic circle and meant to be funny / absurd. She is a ball buster!

2024-07-17 17:06:13 +0000 UTCShe was great. I also don't agree with a lot of her views and there was definitely some awkward moments but Robby made things interesting. The 2nd half is where it really got rolling. Would love seeing her back on

2024-07-17 16:52:43 +0000 UTCToday I learned from a very reliable newsmen that complaining can lower the body temperature by 10% or more, so maybe all us whiners (and I may have been one of them) were just trying to beat the heat. Instead we should have an OHL pool party, and Robby is invited! We’ll settle our disputes over a cannonball contest. I’ll bring hotdogs, both vegan and meat options will be available. Then we’ll float in the cool water till we’re all nice and pruny and relaxed.

Vic Berger IV
2024-07-17 15:45:09 +0000 UTCYour observation about the nature of live YT chat is spot on in that it's a frothing at the mouth, second by second, impulsive commentary on the show as it's happening. I disagree though, that it's rarely funny! I generally find myself zipping back and forth between the show and the chat and getting plenty of laughs from both. Yesterday was a chat madhouse because of reasons already stated *and* (puts on conspiracy hat) seems to have been infiltrated by a number of chuds from another show that shall not be named who were there to stir up shit, which they did.

2024-07-17 13:49:53 +0000 UTCI appreciate this was addressed. For me, living in a swing state that could very well decide the election, it hurts when people with a huge platform kinda brush everything off as “both sides are bad”, when they might have the luxury of living in a safely blue / liberal area. I wish I could just adopt the “both sides / nothing matters” mantra, but where I live the difference between red & blue policies very much has an effect on people’s lives. As always, peace & love, and I laughed way too hard at Vic’s drops!

Michael Antonelli
2024-07-17 12:15:37 +0000 UTCI gotta say I agree with maybe not voicing every single complaint one has about everything. Just in general. You watch this show because you want to, because you like it, and I think everyone can appreciate that this is such a tight knit community and it feels very friendly, but that doesn't mean you can choose what this show is going to be about. Sure, criticism is important and needed, but I can't imagine watching something I love and leading with what I DON'T like. Seems very possessive. Peace and love!
Hanz
2024-07-17 12:12:03 +0000 UTCThere's something interesting about people's very strong reactions to Robby. I think she subverts our expectations of what a queer millennial comic should be. I think it's pretty clear that she's being playful, in her abrasive, curmudgeonly, cutting way, and probably there's a lot in what she said about relating more to older generations because of her Hasidic upbringing - she does seem a bit out of time, out of sync. Edginess for edginesses sake is tiresome, but I think generally her humour brings out the absurd and funny contradictions in things, including in the current liberal consensus, just like e.g. Larry David does. She obviously has skin in the game so why shouldn't she be allowed to play around with it and express her ambivalences. And I agree with Tim, she was clearly being flip and exaggerating for comic effect about the trans and abortions rights stuff, but she was also saying something important about how ultimately it's rich vs poor and both parties are about protecting capital, Dems want to maintain a deeply unequal and broken system, and are doing so in a very dishonest manner that leaves people feeling patronised, belittled and alienated, and due to that fascism will always be a looming threat. Fwiw I've seen her live so knew what to expect and though the abrasiveness was jarring I thought it made for a good and funny albeit slightly uncomfortable ep! Though I appreciate those calling in and not expecting it might have had a rough time (I was very glad to be sitting at the back when I saw her show!)

2024-07-17 11:44:12 +0000 UTCPeople are too sensitive. Having a opposing view or a uncomfortable discussion is something that occurs in the real world daily. I would assume most of the people behind these negative posts are internet addicted, basement dwellers who need to step outside once in awhile and converse with actual human beings. Nothing said on the show warrants an apology. Some of us need to grow up and realize that the world doesn’t owe you a safety net or water wings to wade through life. Main character syndrome is rampant.
Chase
2024-07-17 11:35:15 +0000 UTCrobby's sense of humor is definitely not for everyone, but i thought tim handled it well. no one will ever top megan koester as the worst, least funny guest IMO.

2024-07-17 05:53:51 +0000 UTC@skeletonmeat I agree that it wasn't out-and-out homophobic coming from an out gay person. But, I don't think a gay person has a pass to make jokes or assumptions about a person's sexuality based on their appearance. What if one of those Zoomers happened to be questioning their sexuality at their own pace? That's the part that made me uncomfortable.

Scott Sz
2024-07-17 05:27:12 +0000 UTCI get your point, but I personally don’t think this is about the specific insult or remark. I think it’s shitty when the hosts or guests are rude to the people who wait for ages and manage to finally make it onto the zoom. I feel for them! Who cares what it’s about? Maybe nobody treats anyone like garbage, even for laughs. It’s not hard! Nearly every person does this, all the time.
Scott Sz
2024-07-17 05:24:47 +0000 UTCthis is fair, but it kind of ignores that a gay person was badgering straight (maybe) people about whether they were gay. that’s different than vice versa. i think it’s fair to say it wasn’t obviously over the line in the moment. it mostly feels like bullying because it went on way too long, and didn’t acknowledge when the caller wanted it to stop. also, nobody is doing a cosby on anyone here, whatever that means

It’s kind of your thing, too! I feel like the moments of live awkwardness on the live stream would have been solved by treating your video guests (as a host!) with the same basic dignity you treat your industry guests—the ones you invite inside. I’m sure if anyone on the zoom had started questioning your in-house guest about their sexuality, whatever guest it was, you would have cut them off. In seconds! No? So what’s up? You’re a grown man, my guy! Are we all pretending you had to watch this back with the comments to feel like going out on a limb and doing a Cosby on the commenters here? I love ya, Tim. You’re a funny man. And you do a truly great service of empowering other hilarious and brilliant people. But come on. You’re 50! Who are ya, man? If you’re feeling bad, maybe don’t take it out on the commenters. If something went weird, maybe we don’t need a post.

Jonathan Olson
2024-07-17 04:53:20 +0000 UTCA special post deserves a special comment. Sorry for my sleepy brain, but I think the timing is right on this one, especially if the message is helpful to anyone else reading this. Rambling Preamble: Recently, I almost sent you all a message about something I’ve been mulling over (in a good way this time). For some background: one of my favorite drag queens, Jinkx Monsoon, has been breaking so many barriers lately on Broadway, soon Carnegie Hall, and showing how self-love (she’s 5 years sober from alcohol) and self-respect go a long way. She stars in a touring holiday show with partner-in-crime BenDeLaCreme, a show that I was lucky to have attended last holiday season (and might again this year). What really stood out to me during their post-show message was that they said they purposefully kept the tone of humor more good-natured. Goofy. See, “reading” is a common occurrence in the drag community, where it's basically over-the-top roasting that, depending on the skill of the speaker, can really fall flat. And I feel that Jinkx and Dela sashayed away from that tone. Because they know, personally, how much the world is already hurting. Body (ody ody): I’m not part of the drag community, just the queer ether. But, as a quiet observer of the arts, I held onto that presented counter-subcultural stance. And I firmly believe you, Tim--and OHL as a whole--assume that stance. You refrain from punching down when you easily could. Sure, maybe your comedic angle used to punch ~out there~ in some abstract realm of anti-humor. But it never went downwards in a way that hurt. And now you even punch up. I think that’s where a lot of my gratitude stems from—because with great power comes great responsibility, and this post of yours definitely shows your awareness of that. Conclusion: I’ve been meaning to save this sentiment for a limerick when I see you all at one of the many recurring Timfests, but I figured now is a good time, as well: I don’t see you all as my heroes. I don’t even look up to you. I look ~to~ you, as fellow humans. And I think your appeal in this post, Tim, appropriately asks for the same basic human decency that you consistently show in your own words and actions almost every week in your garage (cue Weezer song drop). TL;DR/Epilogue: Thanks for putting this out there. And putting yourself out there. Hard to tell if you put the "love" or "peace" in "Peace and Love", but all I know is: oh Oh OH I'm Lovin' It!

2024-07-17 04:51:03 +0000 UTCI actually warmed to Robby after a while! It was the conspiracy stuff I didn't care for. I'm not anti-conspiracy (I'm quite sure the CIA was involved in killing JFK) but it's beyond silly and counterproductive to fall into that kind of rabbit hole here, during a presidential campaign, when this incident *clearly* was not staged. David Farrier (an LA-based Kiwi documentarian - who'd make a phenomenal guest by the way) and his friend explained it at length: https://www.webworm.co/p/falseflag

2024-07-17 04:45:23 +0000 UTCShe was great. I for one thought it was nice for someone to just be authentic on the show and not give a fuck. The tip-toeing gets a bit exhausting to listen to. We always have the option to turn the show off and tune in next time if we don’t like it.

2024-07-17 04:44:43 +0000 UTCPeople here are way too quick to assume the worst and freak out over anything someone says that might not totally fit into their views.

2024-07-17 04:37:27 +0000 UTCSorry Tim, I just left a heated comment on the feed about 3 min ago. You're right. Simply put, I think Robby is a top-tier comedian and agree with her politically-- because I actually want the best for this country and its people. Also, everyone has their share of 'bad' moments. It's comedy!!

2024-07-17 04:37:00 +0000 UTCIt’s unfortunate we didn’t get the Trinity’s full thoughts/jokes/commentary on one of the most eventful news weeks ever. The show thrives on good conversation with guests and callers but we got interruptions/derailments. Maybe next week we can get the scoop #vicinformation. Peace and Love to the world.

2024-07-17 04:34:18 +0000 UTCGreat show tim vic and dougg. Thanks Matt! I'm waiting for clownvis to come back to the show, I'd love to hear you guys have a bruce off. We think that would chill things out a bit. The king of clowns can remind us all that we re all here for laughs. "Shoot movies not people." ROBBY

2024-07-17 03:59:58 +0000 UTCI would like to recommend for Vic the 'Sail on' Beach boys podcast. They go deep into the recordings, sometimes with 4 episodes covering one album.

2024-07-17 03:59:00 +0000 UTCI was one of the folks who responded in a negative way. As someone in the LGBTQ community and completely unfamiliar with the guest, I felt compelled to call it out. The lesbian haircut bits seemed edge-lordy. There is some kind of power imbalance with a nervous zoomer calling in and having their appearance picked apart by a featured guest. I appreciate this post Tim. Always a fan of OHL. We all can grow, we all can learn.

2024-07-17 03:58:55 +0000 UTCi’m 3/4ths into the full show (get the full show go go go go go) and i hadn’t heard of robby before so i had no preconceived idea of whether the abrasiveness was a bit or not. though probably not my all-time favorite guest, it’s always a good show each week because of everything you all put into it. peace and love!

2024-07-17 03:56:55 +0000 UTCHey it’s a nice message, thanks Tim. Chat is all reaction, which can be fun and celebratory at best, but also creates a stage for people’s most basic impulses, and in this community and others it’s always — “what can I say NOW that elicits the biggest reaction?” It’s all a bit, in the sense that it’s contrived for effect, and it’s very rarely funny, but it’s nice that y’all keep the chat alive regardless. Anyway, the guest was good, the vibes were interesting, the show was fun, keep it weird pal.

2024-07-17 03:56:00 +0000 UTCparasocial behavior from some commenters on the show today. just enjoy the ride. dunno why anyone would question mr. heidecker’s empathetic bonafides. besides, you don’t need to be perfect. just be a good guy. that’s enough.

2024-07-17 03:55:12 +0000 UTCTo me it felt pretty clear that she was being sarcastic and it’s just part of her shtick, trying to be funny and all since she’s a comedic person

2024-07-17 03:54:50 +0000 UTC...Oh, and I'm a little late, but would like to recommend "STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces" (2024) to all creatives or fans of entertainment.

2024-07-17 03:50:36 +0000 UTCIt’s frustrating to see these kneejerk reactions in real time, aimed at someone who has more than earned the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for being awesome, Tim.

2024-07-17 03:49:02 +0000 UTCRobby rocked. OHL 4 Life! I find it interesting that a Jewish lesbian came onto the show, was abrasive for comedic effect/vocal about her left wing political views, and the so-called progressives in the community couldn't handle it! Perhaps a lot of unchecked misogyny at play. Much to consider.
