Maria Bamford, Scott Marvel Cassidy (Office Hours+ Episode 286)
Added 2024-02-22 16:00:08 +0000 UTCWe're only bringing you good news* this week on Office Hours with the exciting return of our host Tim Heidecker and special celebrity guest couple comedy great Maria Bamford and marvelous artist Scott Marvel Cassidy! It was a total joy with lots of insightful zoomers and hot liners, Tim's tales from his travels, and a fair amount of Beatles talk. Starts @ 1:50.
*Bad news is Doug was away, but good news he sent in a new rap from Down Undah!

Great episode! I have misophonia too, not very successfully managing it but I try! I feel in my soul the irritation at the constant coughing on the plane! My solution has just been having loud headphones for every flight & wearing ear plugs around the house.

2024-03-14 15:50:23 +0000 UTCIn lieu of a limerick (Doug gets them this week since he’s special next week): I found it so heartwarming to have Maria and Scott on for both hours. She really ~effused~ the show with her cheery frankness, which I’m sure she bared more in her book. She created a safe space for herself and others. It was wonderful seeing all the Zoomers connecting with her and Tim opening up in an even easier manner than usual, in a way that felt like friends talking shop and venting—but still trying to keep each others’ spirits up. And ours. I appreciate the sincerity. Could do with less cysts, though, Vic 😆

2024-02-26 00:07:26 +0000 UTCBecause Neil Young needs to be defended (jk), I came here to say “A Man Needs A Maid” is meant to be paired with “Heart of Gold” and that the lyrical concept of “…Maid” is that the character is trying to convince himself that he only wants the material presence of woman and can’t admit that what he truly needs the human connection and feminine influence on his masculinity so he’s trying to convince himself otherwise.

2024-02-25 16:03:13 +0000 UTCAt least now I know that even among the supposedly progressive Office Hours crowd, no one gives a shit about the humanity of Jewish people like me. Even when we call for a ceasefire, you still refuse to recognize the rape and torture we have suffered. Very very telling
Daniel Miller
2024-02-25 05:23:59 +0000 UTCSo much projection on your part. Talking about buzzwords. You have no idea how similar you are to the MAGA bros. I have no time for racists like you
Daniel Miller
2024-02-25 05:04:23 +0000 UTCDid you even read ANYTHING I SAID? WHAT I SAID ABOUT NETENYAHU AND ABOUT WANTING A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE??? If you’re ignoring that, you’re delusional and antisemitic. Sorry

2024-02-25 04:52:09 +0000 UTCyou are 100% brainwashed if you all you can focus on is Hamas. true clown behavior that completely overlooks a literal GENOCIDE. you love buzzwords and have 0 humanity and empathy in your soul.

2024-02-24 07:52:37 +0000 UTCMaria makes me laugh cry so hard. I have to wonder, would it be too funny, like hazardous to our heath funny if Maria and Zach came on together? To talk about the old C.O.C. days? We all might just literally die. The whole patreonship dead of heart attacks. I also have to wonder... Is it me or do their spouses bear a strong resemblance to eachother respectively. hmmm...

2024-02-24 07:40:57 +0000 UTCMaria's laugh is AMAZING! Classic Ep!!!

Matt Henderson
2024-02-23 22:09:16 +0000 UTCI’m not “brainwashed,” but thank you for your concern
Daniel Miller
2024-02-23 21:53:04 +0000 UTCThanks for the dismissiveness, Matt. Maybe they are right about you. And to everyone else, obviously I want an immediate and permanent ceasefire. It’s horrific and unacceptable what is happening in Gaza on a daily basis, and Netenyahu is a murderous lunatic. I’m just saying that you can’t ignore the part Hamas has played and continues to play.
Daniel Miller
2024-02-23 21:00:24 +0000 UTCScott’s laugh and Maria’s empathetic nature and funny phrases she would blurt out were so funny and entertaining ♥️♥️💖 I love how much Scott would laugh at the fart 💨 sound bites 🤣

2024-02-23 18:04:09 +0000 UTCDaniel, I’m sorry to continue this when we’re all here to laugh and have fun. I have deep love and respect for people in this community, which is why I’m saddened that you are able to insist on these talking points when Israel has completely annihilated the fabric of existence in Gaza. Infrastructure, schools, places of worship, parks, cemeteries, and entire neighborhoods of homes, businesses, and people’s livelihoods are obliterated beyond repair. There’s nothing left for 1.5 million displaced, starving, and traumatized people to return to. This has so clearly gone beyond self-defense or the tactical elimination of Hamas - Netanyahu’s regime is bent on destroying the hope of dignified life for Gazans and all Palestinian people living under a crushing, decades-long military occupation. Yes, Oct. 7th was a horrific tragedy. AND there is no deflecting or hiding from the fact that this is now an all out operation to uproot, exterminate, and expel Palestinian civilians.

Dan
2024-02-23 03:57:54 +0000 UTCAssuming all of that is true (and I don't want to get stuck into it here), the urgent, immediate priority still remains the humanitarian crisis occurring in Gaza.
Di Drew
2024-02-23 02:57:59 +0000 UTCAdd: misophonia awareness!! Been struggling since I was a kid, never had a word for it til I moved into the city / a few years ago. Solidarity, T
Di Drew
2024-02-23 02:42:36 +0000 UTCWith respect, the ICJ @ The Hague did not rule that what was going on in Palestine was a genocide; they ordered Israel to "prevent genocide" and did not include a ceasefire order. It is of course possible that a future rulings will change this, but this is the current state-of-play. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/25/world/middleeast/icj-israel-genocide-ruling.html Also, there are definitely commenters here (not a majority, certainly) that agreed with Hamas's actions on 10/7. One wrote, days after, "I have no sympathy for your sick death cult. It's revolution. It's not pretty. They have zero options. Fuck Amy Schumer. Fuck Isreal."
Strerve McAlvoy
2024-02-23 01:51:49 +0000 UTCI don't think anyone agrees with what happened on October 7. The urgent priority is in the overwhelming humanitarian crisis happening in Gaza. The Hague has ruled it a plausible genocide. Millions of innocent civilians are starving to death or worse, doctors, medics and aid workers are being murdered, entire families are being wiped out, and the Netanyahu government is committing state-sanctioned war crimes every single day. If you care about hostages and human shields, you care about the genocide in Gaza. This is the urgent priority. It is astonishing to see how brainwashed many Americans and Israelis are when the rest of the world can see it for what it is. Thank you Tim for taking the side of humanity and speaking truth to what is a difficult stance in US media.
Di Drew
2024-02-23 00:44:27 +0000 UTCMaria and Scott are instant all-timers! Doug was brilliant in Melbourne last night too - the drops during Eric Andre's set were perfect. Doug, The 'owl' you saw is a tawny frogmouth - you'll only see frogmouths in Australia & Papua New Guinea. They're the best.
Di Drew
2024-02-23 00:35:17 +0000 UTCah, that's tricky! glad it's on the radar :)

2024-02-23 00:27:08 +0000 UTCmany do already and I personally try my best to use/announce their correct pronoun when introducing them, but the way we present it to Tim and guests in the studio, the pronoun is cropped out of their view. We are actively working on a solution to this to make sure we get it right and do not cause any discomfort to anybody. P&L -matt

2024-02-22 23:58:44 +0000 UTCgreat ep! i'm jealous of doug's mushroom banh mi
marshy
2024-02-22 23:57:44 +0000 UTCi don't want to seem annoying about this, but I think it would be genuinely helpful for the show if you suggest somewhere that ppl use the pronouns feature in the Zoom room

Painthuffer2
2024-02-22 23:25:39 +0000 UTCYes that’s about what happened yes. Thanks for the summary.
Tim Heidecker
2024-02-22 22:56:26 +0000 UTCAnd no recognition that Hamas has rejected about half a dozen ceasefire deals
Daniel Miller
2024-02-22 22:33:47 +0000 UTCSo Tim says Joe Biden is a war criminal, but no words of criticism towards Hamas? No calls for them to surrender, free the hostages, and stop using Gazans as human shields?
Daniel Miller
2024-02-22 22:31:52 +0000 UTCScott was a true Drop appreciator with a laugh that rivals Doug's.

2024-02-22 21:35:24 +0000 UTCTim was on point with his political commentary. FFS put ol' Joe out to pasture and bring younger candidates in. I can't even wrap my head around how it's still gonna be him vs. Trump. FUCK! WHY !? How deranged have we become? 2024 is going to be a shitshow and I'm genuinely afraid of the outcome
