Robby Hoffman (Office Hours+ Episode 302)

Robby steamrolled this episode.

Mariah Klingeman

More Uncle Geoff!!!

RevKyleRoberson

Great ep! One of the top ones of the year

Sophie

I was having fun and playing along until Robby casually used the r-word and no one said anything about it. As a mentally disabled listener and fan, it was disappointing to hear that word on the show go unchecked =(

Carmine b.

The Trinity can and has been just as rude to Zoomers. But somehow she’s held to a higher standard? She’s gay and makes jokes about LGBTQ+. The comments prove that most people have never heard her speak.

Finally listened and this was a great EP. I don’t understand why people, including the hosts of this show, did not take everything that Robby said as a joke? This is a comedy show. Everyone is always snapping sarcastic jokes, but for some reason people took everything she said as serious. People need to chill. Clearly y’all know nothing about her and didn’t give her any rope to make a joke. Bad or not. Also, the boys have historically made fun of and complained about the Zoomers. And yet Robby does it and people get up tight. I could tell y’all felt threatened by her from the start. Still a great show. P&L

westend_td

She’s just boring. That’s it.

Jared

Finally sat down to watch this episode. Worst guest I’ve seen thus far. What a bore she was. Rude, arrogant, not funny. Hard pass.

Jared

The problem is that democrats don't ACTUALLY ever actively, vehemently push for abortion rights or trans issues. They politely resist the efforts but are too scared of those issues themselves to be firm and united for them. "Trans" is a word they only tack onto the end of the acronym "LGBT." I didn't like some of Robbie's other stances, but she's speaking (imo) about the perspective of the politicians themselves.

turbinity

I read the comments to double-check my thoughts about the tone of the first part. Your post really helped, John! I felt the same way!

Marika Giacinti

Christian

I started out enjoying this guest and then it went downhill from there. I completely understand the comedic point of what she was doing, I just didn’t find it funny.

Christian

Robby was hilarious and we need more uncle Jeff!!!

Alexander Connolly

the song was called "19" by Paul Hardcastle but no idea who the dancing man was, I agree that he was great!

Alexander Connolly

Comrade Robby rocking the BEST colors.

KD

Get rid of that damn E.T. doll before Neil Hamburger sees it.

Will Ochs

Stfu.

Allen Fisher

10/10 trolling.

roachHiss

Tim I had the same issue with excess sweating the product you need to get is Certain Dri.

Noah

I understand that Robby is a comedic genius but their use of the R-word to describe DiCaprio's Character in Gilbert Grape seemed a little weird and unnecessary. As a father of a developmentally disabled 4 year old year girl and a community mental health therapist myself, It was a little insensitive and uneducated. That Character clearly resembled the symptoms of severe Autism with a lack of professional supports. But, no big deal. Great episode. It was just kinda weird and took me by surprise. I thought I was listening to joey Diaz or something.

DogFaceGirl

Humle request to remove an object from shelf behind Doug - I don't know what it is but it looks racist

Doll House

Ay Marone!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ the arguing in the comments! Let’s get along everybody. Anyway.. the trump drop had me laughing so hard. Vic and Doug are da best!! I thought it was kinda funny when the caller who brought up cheerful songs being slowed down in movies to be scary because Tim is in “Us” and they did just that with “I got 5 on it”. Great episode as usual!

🖤Cassie🖤

Great show gang!

Ian Horrocks

If you watch the second half it confirms that the first half is an act. I’m not a fan of politics at all on the show - but overall seemed like a comedian on a comedy show? What is the big deal. I do think there’s several factions of audience here and folks and maybe the show is in growing pains and trying to find itself (like all of us). I think it’s frozen in the early Covid social emotional all-accepting vibe and maybe needs to transition out to grow.

?

I can take a lot of ribbing!

Mary-Anne McTrowe

for me it was the R word; I can play along with anything else! Robby was not a bad guest!

Mary-Anne McTrowe

I never realized the comment section on here was so vitriolic, kind of disappointing. Bring back weird Al Pacino!

Neil Jung

This is a very soft fanbase, it’s really quite disappointing.

Ragle Gumm

The break video music interlude was top tier. Would love to see The Very Good Band lay out some boomba music. Like drums and space - but boomba.

Jim D.

She is a comedian making fun of people omg throw her off the internet!! Very strange out cry of the haters, seemed medium spicy at most

Anima

I'm never gonna like someone Trina get me to like gooey ck

Allen Fisher

Louis C.K. rules! Genius....

John C.

only if The Rizzler comes with

Andrew Stanger

It’s about 12 min in.

Maslow

Robby is the funniest guest this summer! Great show!

Björn Lindgren

Ok.

Jimjim

What’s the time stamp for the vic drop that got everyone?

Scott

Nope, probably looking at it from the wrong perspective to understand the truth in that sentiment. Imo

Dane

all timer. Top 3 all time guest. Bellissimo. I laughed and learned and loved every second.

Jack

Did not like this guest. Bad takes, rude to the Zoomers, said some backwards stuff about non-binary people, used the R-word, and just generally killed the whole vibe of the show. Gagged when she kept talking about Louis CK, just using his first name like she's on Joe Rogan and talking about hanging out at "the Store." Bummer of an episode.

samu3lk

Mary-Anne you're probably a lot of peoples' favourite zoomer, including me. I was also surprised Tim didn't push back, but I get it, too. That was a bit off-putting.

Matt James

A few times Tim has said he's been looking in the zoom room saying "and it doesnt look like a lot of people are laughing" but I'm laughing every single time, and Tom Potty maybe me LOL a few times. Always look forward to it.

Matt James

How does someone so dull that they cry about July 4th even enjoy what you do in the slightest?

turbinity

I support this show, though I am not a boomer liberal dad. Robby spitting fact on Tim in that 1 minute THE FIRST TO EVER REALLY DO IT was worth all my patreon money. "There are certain policies..." Lmao Tim

Dane

Yeah they do. Ceasefire now and always

Daniel Miller

i wanna call in now!! i cant wait to get roasted for my hair next week!! i like having FUN!

Mike B

i liked the part at the end where she was combative even with the person calling in to reiterate her views

Mike B

Anti-perspirant works for me a lot better than deodorant. Not a 50/50 mix but total antiperspirant brand like Mitchum. Would be running through several t shirts daily otherwise. Keeps me dry all day.

Super Sanjayan

Tim it’s time to start sporting tank tops. I think we can all agree that we would be in full support of showing the arms! And the pits would be DRY. 💦

Jamie Babs

it sure did! i would like to humbly walk back some of the things i’ve said in the comments here but specifically any that hurt you! i cherish (most of) this community and i’m not ashamed to admit that i was wrong in being reactionary and defensive. especially of a comedian who i just heard of today lol

Tim P.

I loved Robby’s stand up special and I think she is very funny but we don’t gotta be out here casting judgement on the appearance of the zoom guests. Bad form in my opinion. But an interesting show nonetheless!

Patrick Walsh

Your past comments speak for themselves.

Painthuffer2

I’m not going to be slandered regarding something so horrific

Daniel Miller

Then you just got to ranch Biden up

Daniel Miller

I don't think she needs notes from people who don't get what she's doing.

Faux Vernon

I'd agree, and I'm sure she felt herself being abrasive because she did stop doing that. I'm just not sure anything that was said on the show warranted the most comments on any patreon post thus far. People came unglued!

Painthuffer2

She was pretty rude most of the zoomers. Which is fine, because it’s a bit, but there’s a point when some sincerity needs to be injected. Being greeted with “ are you a lesbian? Why do you have a lesbian haircut?” And then have that be the entire conversation. Really weird way to gain a fan imo.

Alexander Darko

can you please bring AJ and Big Justice on the podcast

Ben Silver

New hot dog drops 🔥love those vids

Ben Silver

i screen recorded it and sent out immediately. incredible drop

skeletonmeat

enjoyed the show. robby is really funny and cool, and I liked her contribution to the ep. there is maybe some empathy she could give to strangers that wouldn’t necessarily undermine her strong opinions - but nobody’s perfect! being always funny and always kind seems like a difficult thing to expect

skeletonmeat

Came home to watch this ep after reading these comments expecting an absolute black hole of nihilistic misery and negativity but it's the most normal, least controversial thing ever. This is what you guys are flipping out over?? You guys gotta get real!

Painthuffer2

It's the same old song and dance from you every time! Get a new tune!

Painthuffer2

There are many funny bullies.

Faux Vernon

Please don’t let Tim P. gaslight you, John. He just wants chaos

Daniel Miller

Totally. I love John Early, Kate Berlant, Sarah Squirm, Hannah Einbinder. I know they all technically stand on stages and are funny, but I wouldn’t really consider them stand-ups. This Robby character reeks of stand-up in the worst way.

Mark Bisi

She was doing a standup show with Sarah Squirm I believe. Also Kate Berlant and John Early have been great

Daniel Miller

a bit arrogant, whatever you believe.

MP

Yeah, she was great. But she’s an actor, no?

Mark Bisi

Megan Stalter was really funny though. One of the best episodes. But in general I agree

Daniel Miller

Yes KD! Thank you.

Melissa

Never heard of Robby before, but she came across as a lame edgelord. Stop having stand-ups on the show. Stand-up sucks shit pretty much across the board.

Mark Bisi

And don’t you dare lie about my feelings on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza again, especially when it comes to innocent children being killed. You seem to care way more about attacking Jews than actually demanding a ceasefire (which I have always done on this platform). Antisemitism is not a substitute for a personality, no matter what Tik Tok told you

Daniel Miller

Does your wife know you’re voting for Trump, Tim P?

Daniel Miller

And just say Jew instead of Zionist. It’s so easy to see what you’re really about

Daniel Miller

Case in point. Thanks for Trump in 2016 btw

Daniel Miller

That is a disgusting thing to say. Get help

Daniel Miller

bullies aren't funny

Brandon

thank you KD 👑

Tim P.

Best shit yet supprisied T let it happen but it’s good keep going

The real James Taylor

shot + Trump yell combo, all-timer

Max

love the hair! the green is esp cool

marshy

doug and vic are showing some drop mastery in this ep

marshy

controversy created conversation!

Mary-Anne McTrowe

I know 😩 I got my R’s confused.

Mary-Anne McTrowe

Dude have you seen the polls? It's over. Don't take this personally but I'm gonna set you straight. Is your personal circumstance more important than the kids at the boarder who Biden removed a three decade old policy giving them protections? Not to mention all the immigration policies Biden kept from Trump and expanded on. Biden has also been lowering medicare payouts for the past 4 years which gets zero attention. He covered up covid data (by simply not tracking it anymore) when all restrictions were removed. Retirement age was raised without a peep. The SCOTUS is packed with freaks when he said there would be reform. Roe could have been codified 40 years ago. Now it's toast. The general judiciary nation wide is packed with right wing corporate installed freaks. Homelessness increased 12% IN A YEAR while no material help has been established for housing prices/real wages. ZERO campaign promises made. Not to mention he first said he would only serve one term. And last but not lease, he is LITERALLY OVERSEEING AND PROVIDING RESOURCES AND LEGAL BACKING OVER A GENOCIDE. What ever idea of "progress" you had in this country was based on a manipulation. Also maybe look into the roots of "progressiveism" what that really means. The DNC HAVE BEEN ENABLING THE RIGHT FOR DECADES. They ARE right wing. The US has ALWAYS been a despotic right wing hellscape. Just because YOU didn't FEEL it personally doesn't change the truth. And yes it will get worse since the empire is collapsing. Take your liberal moralizing elsewhere and get a grip. You can't browbeat people into voting for those who have burned them time after time after time. If voting for presidents had substantial outcomes for benefiting the majority of people, they wouldn't let us do it. Perhaps watch the first hour of this. It might be helpful/enlightening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnn_bWDmizw&t=3800s

KD

👆This guy is an unrepentant Zionist who's bayed for Palestinian blood on this very Patreon

Painthuffer2

nobody said the n word, which is what the hard r is referring to. robby used the r slur (demeaning word for mentally disabled) once

skeletonmeat

I had to pop out back to work but caught your part live--and you rocked it. rolled with the punches, redirected/moved on when things fell flat, jabbed a bit back. awesome job

lilula9

jimmy

Yes, very amusing, I'm sure.

John Galantini

my apologies Tim, for real. I confused my R’s.

Mary-Anne McTrowe

thanks! that’s why I do it!

Mary-Anne McTrowe

Robby rattled the cage and that was refreshing.

SpongeBob Marley

Good ep. Funny guest. Super Tuesday.

Kris of Nazareth

Celery is objectively evil, Daniel

Faux Vernon

I'm not voting for Biden.

Faux Vernon

to be clear to Mary-Anne, i do appreciate you and (most) of the OHL audience but i do get very frustrated with the hand wringing. i think your hair is cool.

Tim P.

Mary-Anne as Billy would say "we love you just the way you are!" -t

Tim Heidecker

“better behaved” is a psychotically misogynistic phrase to say dude. “hard r” referring to a mentally challenged person is an INSULT to black people! how do you not realize that! my wife is black and wanted to smack you through my phone. i can’t believe you people.

Tim P.

zip it, Tim!

Mary-Anne McTrowe

A Very British Apology. so tired of this mf piping in.

Tim P.

jesus christ. that’s not the hard r you think it is. you libs are insufferable.

Tim P.

I'd say it's a generational thing. And every election gets worse and worse. All we can do is try to be kind and decent to each other off stage/off camera - I like some prickle and stickle, vim and vigor, and at least this show is trying to even discuss politics. Most spaces shut it down entirely.

Dylan Murray

No Rec's!!!????!!? What the hell?

John C.

Vote Blue in November! There are TWO options, and this shit is serious. Ignore the selfish, privileged, pseudo-progressive sentiments that have been shared on this show recently. Those are coming from people who have nothing to lose if Trump wins. And as the partner of a Haitian immigrant, I am not going to let anyone fuck with her right to live here and be safe. Fuck racist Republicans and fuck the phony progressives who enable them.

Daniel Miller

I only have contempt for duds who raise their hand and have nothing to say! -Matt

Tim Heidecker

Suggestion: Let's help lower the temperature by using a small amount of the patreon dough to upgrade the air conditioning situation in the studio. Chill vibes and dry pits for everyone!

rainbowdark

And how can he be a vegetable AND evil?? 😂

Daniel Miller

You sound like the vegetable with that logic

Daniel Miller

I want to apologise for my angry, offensive comment earlier about your guest today. I did not enjoy the arrogant energy they brought to the first half of the show, they were better behaved in the second part, but let’s just say their brand of humour isn’t for me - or for a lot of others it seems. (To avoid any confusion, I am referring to a comment I left here under this post, about 1 hour into the show, in which I used a four letter word to describe the guest, a word that we British use too often. I did not appear on today's show and missed the last half hour or so - but will catch up later this week).

John Galantini

You can get sweat glands lasered off nowadays. I'm sure there are ramifications later down the road. But it's possible.

Logan S

Travis F. Welch

@vernontk What are your plans for Election Day, then? Voting third party? Staying home?

kincheon

Wait, I must have missed someone dropping slurs. Who said what? If anyone has timestamps, please let me know.

kincheon

Mary-Anne you're a dynamite Zoomer and a lovely contributor to the show. And you gotta be true to yourself.

Dylan Murray

You're voting for an administration - not just one guy.

Devon Bennett

You handled Robby super well. It was an uncomfortable situation

Melissa

Your hair looked great.

Faux Vernon

Sorry, I gotta bring it up. I don't care how edgy a comic is, the hard R is a hard no from me. C'mon-- ya coulda said "HOLD ON A SEC". Ya, I'm that friend in the group who goes "folks, 'g*psy' is a slur!". IT IS! Anyway, I've given it some thought and I have to say, NO, I AM NOT GROWING MY DAMN HAIR OUT. adding an apology for getting my R’s mixed up! The “r” word is what I meant 😩

Mary-Anne McTrowe

There are important races and ballot measures to consider in November, but I'm not voting for a vegetable. I understand the lesser of two evils argument, but it's okay to have some kind of reasonable limit to that.

Faux Vernon

From one sweaty son of Sam to another I'd recommended a light low cut undershirt (so you don't have the white peeking out) and I would try some different deodorants. Some deos stain more than others.

Dylan Murray

It was insane hearing "the abortion rights issue is a red herring, no one cares". Every day there is a new report about the horror and suffering women are going through in states where it is illegal. I thought it was a bit at first but the more I heard the more it seemed sincere. Hope I'm wrong!

FerntFernt

Tom Potty was an all-timer

Melissa

The episode was entertaining to me. Robby isn't a "yes and" person but neither is Tim and a lot of comics. It's why I wouldn't want to have real relationships with 90% of people in entertainment but still think it's fun to listen to them talk in the context of a show.

James Morris

I want my $1 back.

John Paul Monge

I think if you wanted an excellent example of liberal apathy it's Robby Hoffman. Republican obstructionism and Trump's supreme court picks lead to a reversion of abortion rights--amongst others things like the Chevron case which has bigger ramifications for making the elites "richer". Yes, Democrats are corporate stooges, but it's not really a comparison at all. Tim is right--Democrats at least have specific principles that are less worse than Republicans. And the targeting of trans people isn't some "theoretical" problem to divide voters, places have in fact enacted bans on trans health care. Why treat these issues like they're illusory? Revolution would be great. But it's odd seeing someone preach about the system sucking then saying "they don't really care" about these issues because it doesn't really effect them is telling.

Count Crackula

ALSO the break video from last weeks EP with the robot man spouting military info, I thought was beyond fascinating. I’m sure that was Vic’s finding, I would love to know who the dude is to watch more of his stuff.

Steven krieger

Loved the show, thought Robbie was super funny and edgy. Not that this needs to be said but no matter the situation all that we can do is put one foot in front of the other and keep pushing and look for a brighter tomorrow. Weather the storm all!!

Steven krieger

Thanks for the updates!

Tim Heidecker

Thank for the updates!

Tim Heidecker

The original version of "Women of the World," by Ivor Cutler and Linda Hirst, is amazing, and the album it's on, "Privilege," is an odd and lovely work of art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ICIMsG3BVk&list=OLAK5uy_kb_Xu1pLutdO-SRWDjHhrocz3-v4SsnHs

I blame the election.

Let's lower the temperature John. -matt

That word is actually very offensive in America, so please try to be respectful of our culture and feelings.

Robby was hilarious! Loved the pod.

Hey now...knock it off!
