0:34Oswalt says he never interacted personally with Brand, distinguishing his impressions of the comedy from firsthand experience.
1:09Heidecker questions the rock-star aesthetic in stand-up, prompting Oswalt to draw a comparison with Sam Kinison.
2:18Heidecker recalls attending Brand X in disguise with Jason Woliner and Michael Koman after mocking the show online.
3:07Heidecker says Brand approached Koman during a commercial break, mistaking him for Heidecker.

Michael Koman wasn't the person Russell Brand was looking for, Tim Heidecker recalls. In the week's most-watched upload, Heidecker tells Patton Oswalt about attending a taping of Brand X with Koman and Jason Woliner after making fun of the show online.

Heidecker says he went in disguise. During a commercial break, Brand approached Koman instead, mistaking him for Heidecker. It's the concrete memory at the center of "It's over for Russell Brand...", an Office Hours excerpt that opens with discussion of Brand facing prison time before turning to the comedians' first impressions of his work. Oswalt makes clear that he never personally interacted with Brand.

The clip reached roughly 142,000 views in thirteen hours and accounts for the channel's strongest viewing momentum right now. The week's other upload takes a longer route through comedy friendships: "1 Hour of Fred Armisen & Tim Heidecker making each other laugh" collects appearances spanning more than seven years. Saturday Night Live puns, Portlandia, Simpsons impressions and the origins of Moonbase 8 all feature in its chapter list. Armisen and Heidecker co-starred in that astronaut-training comedy alongside John C. Reilly.

Subscriber numbers held steady this week. The two new uploads are also the channel's busiest videos at the moment, with an older Office Hours story, "Bill Maher out-weirded \"Weird Al\" Yankovic", continuing to draw a smaller stream of views. For Heidecker's channel, conversation supplies both the week's new material and the archive's continuing activity.
