Forever

Dog

Dog Good morning, everybody.

A beautiful thing happened 50 years ago.

It was a miracle, actually.

Kay and Rich Heidecker birthed the baby boy named Tim

Richard, aka Dick. Heidecker. The little steel mill town called Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Music was his first love. He absorbed all the classic rock music of the 60s like the Beatles and Kenny Loggins.

He was also a religious boy, a good Catholic boy, and he was voted number one singer in his Catholic church by Priest Daniels.

In 1994, everything changed when Tim met his future comedy life partner Eric Wehrheimer at Temple University in Philadelphia.

The two young men learned how to make janky, unprofessional art films, and how to perform.

And then because the equipment there was from 1981.

And they didn't know any other actors.

But that creative partnership continued after graduation with the absurdest videos that were perfect for the early days of internet video.

That's pre- YouTube everybody.

And Napster.

I think Napster was around. Pretty soon they became Tim and Eric.com, the iconic comedy duo. And then when West Hollywood legend Bob Odenkirk took notice of their self-produced DVD of sketches, they were soon on the plane to Los Angeles to make their first TV show.

A cartoon called Tom Goes the Mayor, which Tim Starden and wrote and directed and produced.

The next two decades brought more Tim and Eric TV shows like Tim and Eric Awesome show great job.

Bedtime stories, a feature film, live tours, a production company called Absolutely, Internet hits, commercials like Purple Mattress.

Do you ever see Totinos?

And we also produced hits like Nathan Fielder's Nathan for you.
