“One man will punch whatever it takes to find the truth!”

Chris Elliott stars as Marshal Chris Monsanto in EAGLEHEART, a new show that promises action, cars, suspense, conversations, intrigue, buildings and copious amounts of needless bloodshed in every episode. Aided by his sidekicks Brett and Susie, and under the watchful authority of Chief, Monsanto’s goal is always the same: to punch people so hard that they explode.

Eagleheart premieres February 3rd at midnight on Adult Swim.

Whether portraying a completely stoned Batman and Robin battling Cat Woman (not the sexy villainess, just a disgusting bag lady with too many cats), roller blading in Central Park or narrating European porn with bad accents, Tim and Eric slyly and slowly suck you into to their surreal world of dead-pan silliness and budget-conscious video hijinx.

Before you know it, you’re completely immersed in the scene and merrily drinking their faux-corporate Kool-Aid and chanting along with the boys when they say, “timanderic.com. because you deserve it!”

Where did you two meet?

Tim: We met in the dorms at Temple University. Eric leaned a big garbage can on my door, knocked and took off. I opened and I got a nice helping of pizza boxes, soda cans, and bong water at my feet. After that we were close friends.

Eric: We created our first couple of bands that year: TGIF, Devil’s Eyeland, and The Tim Heidecker Masterpiece. Then got yelled at by our Communications Professor that day for cracking each other up at those names. I remember feeling like such a tool after a huge lecture hall of film dorks stared us down during our reprimand. I was literally crying when Tim handed me a piece of paper with “TGIF” scribbled on it. I knew he was the one.

Tim: We were out of control in Film School. Temple took itself pretty seriously, and we tore into that. In our senior film thesis class we did a video presentation about how there are lobsters in films and how VHS is superior to film. We were kind of jerks.

Since you went to school in Philadelphia, please kiss up to our Philly readers and tell us something wonderful about the City of Brotherly Love.

Eric: Temple University is a great place to meet artsy girls and drink 40′s. Philly is a great place have a band and make movies. It’s just real cheap and easy here. Lorenzo’s and the pretzel place are cool as well.

Please describe your working relationship.

Tim: Well, we live in different towns, so collaborating usually means marathon weekend sessions. We do most of our writing over the phone and, more importantly over Instant Messenger. It’s my favorite form of communication.

Eric: My office at home is basically the TIMANDERIC.COM production studio. I rent it out to ourselves for pretty cheap. We write our bits during working hours, shoot it on the weekends, or whenever we can get our crew together, and edit on Sunday after Mass.

Tim: After Mass and lunch with our Pastor.

Special effects are a big part of your new DVD. Who handles this task and please describe your unique style?

“In our senior film thesis class we did a video presentation about how there are lobsters in films and how VHS is superior to film. We were kind of jerks. “

Eric: The only way we get anything done is with the help of our talented friends. Everything from the web hosting to DVD encoding is done by our pals who hook us up. We owe a lot to everyone who has slaved away for free to produce this stuff. (About the editing/effects) A couple years ago I bought “Editing for Dummies” and the rest is history! We strive to use the dumbest and most obvious effects and filters in our work. If there isn’t a star wipe in a scene, it was probably because we ran out of hard drive space.

Tim: Eric slaves over the editing. He’s taught himself the ropes and it’s going to be really strange if we ever get the chance to work with a real editor. Most of our best jokes come through in the editing. Just sitting in front of the computer going crazy and trying to make each other pee.

Music and dancing also play a major role in your movies. Starship’s “We Built This City” featured in “Gator Man Attacks” was very inspired. Please describe the process of scoring your films.

Eric: Tim has written the majority of our theme songs and short jingles for our sketches. They’re brief but unbelievably catchy. I’ll hear a song like London Beat’s “I’ve been thinking about you” and my head will be swimming with thoughts of Tim and unicorns and parrots.

Tim: There are soooo many funny songs in the world. We’re trying to keep a file of all of them and bring them out for the perfect occasion. We’re trying to be more responsible now though, and are working with a great guy (James Botha) who’s able to score music that sounds just like the music that makes us laugh.

Word on the street has it that you have been working with Bob Odenkirk, seems like a great fit. Please dish on the details. (We could really use an exclusive.)

Eric: Bob is our Godfather. He has helped us in so many ways it’s insane. Everything from holding our hands (gently) through the industry madness, to co-creating a bunch of new material and themes for our inventory.

Tim: Yea, we’re incredibly lucky to have his guidance.

Based on your fluency of new technology business terms, did either of you work at a dot.com or similar type of “hyped” business?

Tim: I’ve done a lot of temping in my time. I also worked for a Knitting Factory start-up venture which was a huge website for Jazz!! That lasted about three months.

Eric: I started temping at “Manpower” during the summer months of college. It taught me a tremendous amount about office jargon. It was beautiful. I remember being excited to go to work just to hear other people’s conversations about monthly revenue reports.

Please give our readers some of these techy and managerial biz terms that they can throw into conversation to impress their friends.

“The rest of the day is made up of trying to agree on if the puking scene should come before or after the humping scene.”

Tim: A great way to spice up a sentence is with “Ultimately” and “In terms of” example: “Tom, in terms of those servers, we could have them running by tomorrow, but ultimately, we might want to wait a few days on that.” Others include:

• “Stop Gap Measures”
• A problem or an assignment is called a “Bear”
• Goals and Deliverables
• Plan-o-Gram (I have no idea what this is, but it gets thrown around a lot. Some kind of marketing tool, I think.)

On an unrelated topic, we are starting to call beards DM’s, as in Dennis Millers. There are sub classifications to be noted though as in: a very dark bushy beard that extends up the cheek could be called a Fisher Stevens DM or a Robin Williams DM if you prefer.

Eric: Another Tim and Eric original. “Tom, like I said at last week’s sales meeting, you’re just going to have to use your “BJ” on that issue” (best judgment)

If you made a Lifetime (the channel) movie, what important topic would you tackle and what actresses would you like to be your co-stars?

Tim: I’d like to do a documentary about women’s pooping habits. Aside from an occasional matchstick floating in the toilet, there is very little evidence that women poop.

Eric: I’d like to shoot a raunchy prostitution flick starring Patricia Arquette, Parker Posey, Tori Spelling, and Lucy Liu. I would be the john that they all fall in love with and fight over. In the end we become a huge happy family. The sex scenes would be very, very graphic and sensual. And I would not use a body double. Lucy Liu and Tori Spelling die early in the film though. My catch phrase throughout the movie is “Is that the best you can do?”

What can we expect at one of your live shows?

Tim: A lot of technical problems

Eric: Singing, dancing, short films, overhead projector skits, drinking, being nervous, and tons of fart jokes.

What is a typical day at timanderic.com headquarters?

Tim: Right now, headquarters is a little houseboat we are leasing. Most days are spent on the phone with the customer service center at Toshiba haggling over the fine points of our warranty for our fax machine. It hasn’t delivered a proper fax in months.

Eric: The first couple hours start with solving enormous technical problems with our computers, audio sampling rates, and still image sizes. Once that is out of the way, we break for lunch. The rest of the day is made up of trying to agree on if the puking scene should come before or after the humping scene.

What famous duo (alive or dead, real or fictitious) would you compare yourselves to?

1. Crystal/Williams
2. DeNiro/Crystal
3. Bridges/Bridges

Comedy shows featuring musical acts (Tinkle, Stella) are all the rage. What band(s) would you like to perform with live on stage?

Tim: That’s a really great question and I have a lot of thoughts on it, but I’d hate to get anyone’s hopes up.

Eric: Bands are so 2001.

Tim, you’re an NYC guy. What’s the strangest thing you have witnessed on the streets of the Big Apple?

Tim: Umm, have you ever been to Tad’s Steaks?

Favorite websites?

Eric: stileproject.com, raverporn.net, neednewbody.com, megaglobal.com and davemoylan.com

Tim: www.whatslovegottodowithit.com and www.michaeldouglas.com (Make it a Michael night!!)

What was the last thing you bought online?

Eric: Sonic Youth “confusion is sex” T shirt

Tim: I bought a CD’s worth of music over the apple music store. It actually worked!

Please name the coolest actor/actress you have met or worked with.

Tim: I was in a play with this guy who was the double for the twin on “One Life to Live” or one of those shows. You’d only see the back of him when he was talking to his twin brother. He was also a background actor on Saturday Night Live during the Dana Carvey years. I always see him when I’m watching the reruns.

Eric: Tim Heidecker. He was incredibly passionate. Not to mention his great beard.

When was your last good cry? Describe.

Eric: When the Field Day Festival informed us that they weren’t going to show our 50 minutes of new “rock festival” videos. We worked our asses off, and got dumped. Just like in High School.

Tim: Just read “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer about people climbing Mount Everest and dying. I got a little lumpy.

Lastly, what is the future of comedy?

Tim: A “thumbs up” monkey, jokes about meatballs and diarrhea. Quiet, quiet comedy. No more assholes, no more politics. No more jokes and no more laughing. Combining comedy with dance will probably be the next big step.
