![]() It’s being trapped in this day-to-day episodic existence. It’s people getting on each other’s nerves in a small space. The sort of family sitcoms you channel on Beef House feel very quarantine TV. Obviously, we were not thinking about any kind of pandemic, but the way it timed with our tour and it sort of creeping into the country was very spooky to us, as well. Like you said, the Pork’s Disease thing happened. And we filter that through comedy, but other people can make horror movies or very depressing things. Life is very absurd and incredibly dangerous at times and scary. I felt like for years and years now, How is everything still going so normally? I’ve always felt in the past ten years or so, like, everything’s sitting on this really flimsy house of cards. It’s always out there in the world, and it doesn’t always affect us in America. On tour, you had “ Pork’s Disease ,” and in Beef House there’s a prune shortage and the neighbor’s hoarding prunes. So much of your work is very post-apocalyptic and dealing with disease or viruses. They’re like, “When can we do more? Please?” They’re so excited about the show and being a part of it. But yeah, we talked to the other guys they’re doing good. We feel like he’s probably in some kind of KGB situation. We can’t get a sense of where he comes from or what he does when he’s not working with us. Tim: We had a Zoom with Ron and Tenny, but we couldn’t get ahold of Ben Hur. Have you been in contact with the other Beef Boys since quarantine? Tim: And I’m still doing my Thursday morning live call-in show, Office Hours, every Thursday with the holy trinity, and that’s been very fun too. It’s fun.Įric: I put a couple recipes online for people to try simple things. They came out as good as bagels I’ve had in New York. Boil them for a minute, and then put them in the oven for 30 minutes at 400. You take your pizza dough and just make little bagel shapes, easy little rings. Have you ever made bagels? They’re so easy. Eric, you’ll be proud of me: I’ve been baking bread. Also it’s a fun time to just watch all of our shows. Tim: Yeah, I talk about the show and answer questions and explore my body.ĭo you have any quarantine advice or recommendations?Įric: We’re recommending anything beef-related. Tim: I’ve been doing some live strip … I wouldn’t call it stripping it’s live on a website called, and you can stream me masturbating and doing that kind of stuff. So it’s an experiment that I’m excited for. We have a couple male strippers as surprises for her that will just join the Zoom at random. We’re gonna screen-share it in the middle of her Zoom birthday. It’s a music video called “Pop That Booty.” Everyone did all these booty dances, and I cut it together into one megavideo. So I feel pretty fortunate overall.Įric Wareheim: I’m editing a video for one of my best friends, Jen Stark, an artist. It’s not great, but we got so lucky because our tour ended the day before quarantine began, and we had Beef House in the can. I’ve realized it’s not something I enjoy or am good at. My wife and I have become first-grade teachers. I’ve got two small kids, so that’s been challenging. We chatted with Tim and Eric about the new series and how they’re doing while quarantining in their respective beef homes. The laugh track still sets off on cue and goes “ Aww” at heartwarming moments, but the plots revolve around feces spray, stabbings, and spoiled eggs. Beef House wears its Full House inspiration on its sleeve, only instead of filling the house with lovable scamps and charming uncles, it’s full of character actors from Tim and Eric’s stable of weird, middle-age talent: men like the bowl-cut Tennessee Luke, foul-mouthed Ron Auster, and sex pervert Ben Hur. Now they have a sitcom on Adult Swim, and it’s both totally out of time and somehow of-the-moment.īeef House puts Tim and Eric in the traditional sitcom setup of being roommates, alongside Eric’s wife, a hardworking police detective played by Jamie-Lynn Sigler. The world is weird, and the only things weirder than it are the alternate dimensions spun by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim in series like Awesome Show, Great Job! and Bedtime Stories. Georgia announced that its top priority is to open up the bowling alleys. Photo: Adult SwimĪ barrel of oil is cheaper than a 99-cent Big Gulp.
