Yesterday’s episode of Tim Heidecker’s Office Hours podcast—a chaotic call-in show co-hosted by comedic artists Vic Berger and Doug “DJ Douggpound” Lussenhop—was packed with big names, from John C. Reilly to Tim Robinson to the grandson of Jim Bakker, the televangelist grifter who’s currently in hot water for trying to shill a bogus coronavirus “cure.” Each segment was memorable in its own way, but it was Reilly’s wily tale of an evening spent with Jack Nicholson that resonates strongest, if only for the hysterical way Reilly recalls the terror of urinating next to the legendary actor, whose stream he describes as “full horse piss.”
“You wanna talk about shy bladder?” Reilly says, cracking that Nicholson’s presence caused his penis to crawl back inside of him until it looked “like a bellybutton.” The story doesn’t end there, however. Reilly recalls Nicholson turning to him mid-stream to ask if he was “a fan of U2,” saying he could get him into a show of theirs in Detroit. “They’re pals of mine, you’re in,” Reilly says in his best Jack voice.
From there, Reilly recalls the weirdness of Nicholson sitting in the passenger seat of the limo as everyone else sat in the back, U2's refusal to allow anyone who isn’t Nicholson to come into their dressing room, and the way the actor grooved to “Mysterious Ways.”
