Eric Wareheim

What are you up to?

Oh, I'm just chatting with one of my friends here.

But you're not connected to the web.

How's this working?

I cannot believe...

I mean, I, listen, I, like I said, I like the White Sox and I like the Guardians, and, like, I'll be happy with whoever wins that series.

But for some reason, maybe because the, the, the un- and I hate to say this, 'cause of course I have a lot of friends who are, uh, Guardians fans who listen to this show.

But, like, I guess because of the underdog thing I've been sort of rooting for the White Sox just a tiny, tiny bit, but just enough to, like, have a little bit of a rooting interest and make it fun, right? But, uh, the White Sox were up two-nothing in the series, and they were leading yesterday, they, they went into yesterday's game two-one in the series.

Yeah,

because they've worked with them, or at least Eric Wareheim.

Yeah, Eric

Wareheim's been in like two or three of his Iron movies, and one of them I really liked was the one about the filmmaker trying to find the best scream.

Um, but he was a very, very charming person, the most charming, and he had somehow [laughs] conned them into letting him leave, you know, to do various things.

Anyway, he was, he was working, writing on a TV show, um, which was Master of None, uh, which was the Aziz Ansari show, and then he had just gotten cast as, um, his best friend in the show, which Eric Wareheim ended up playing because he, because he died.

Um, but he was leaving, and essentially, like, went and did a comedy show and went home and used while he was living, you know, at this sober living facility.

So his was a return to use.

Well, that was ano- I was gonna bring this up, too.

Like, uh, my humor, my, how I view the world is shaped through Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.

Like, that's-

Oh, okay

Mm-hmm.

You know? It influenced that, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim mainly, you know?

Yeah.

And, and even, you know, uh, I, I saw a video on YouTube talking about how it had an influence on rap and hip hop culture to a degree.

... and of course interacting with the legend himself, Tim Heidecker.

Yeah.

You know, we have Tim Heidecker, Heidecker and Eric Wareheim who, of course, made Tom Goes to the Mayor, which man, I almost kinda wish that the, the mayor in, uh, Tom and the Mayor would've showed up and just poof, full on 2D form much like, uh, Ignignokt in Earth.

Ah.

Fuck you guys.

Then Wishes, which has a cool music video attached to it, which I just saw today, directed by Eric Wareheim.

This is from 2012, so Eric Wareheim was a lot bigger of a deal back then.

From Tim and Eric.

Awesome show.

With Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.

And it's pretty interesting.

I won't spoil it, but it's pretty funny, I think, as a music video.

It's that kind of vibe.

It's a shadowy, government-off-the-books kind of agency that's been doing all kinds of crazy eugenics testing, and they have been experimenting on U.S. soldiers who... committed crazy war crimes and shit and so they're juicing them up into super soldiers and wouldn't you know oops they get out and then lay siege to a nearby trailer park town where conveniently adria arjona lives and she's like a former marine sniper she's living in town with Eric Wareheim, who is kind of this shitheel sheriff in this town.

And Reginald Vell Johnson is like the old grizzled veteran that's living there as well.

So it's fun.

I saw it in theaters because I had a day off a couple of weeks ago and I decided to go.

I'm looking at the cast and I'm like, oh, Eric Wareheim is in it.

That's weird.

From Tim and Eric?

Anyway, he was, he was working, writing on a TV show, which was Master of None, which was the Aziz Ansari show.

and then he had just gotten cast as his best friend in the show, which Eric Wareheim ended up playing because he died.

But he was leaving and essentially went and did a comedy show and went home and used while he was living at this sober living facility.

So his was a return to use, goes back to the same dosing.
