Both their characters are pretty similar, except Armen is more awkward and June is more daft.

The poster mentioned one person and said that she was "a perfect match for each other". I cracked wise about this. It was pretty funny. Nevermind.

Uhh you can't just expect Conduit to NOT explain, and explain, and explain, from a position of authority, about every podcast in the world, that he listens to during all of his free time (NOT BECAUSE HE'S A LOSER WITH NO JOB, he's an enthusiast, totally cool, you're being really gross and lame about this, christ)

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "friend of the family balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of fyad humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Very happy about the returns of Andy Richter, the post-apocalypse Dalyverse and Hayes & Sean doing the ads.

Also, as a True Brit, I got legitimately annoyed by Byron Denniston calling Kate Middleton the Duchess of Windsor, when she is of course the Duchess of Cambridge. He did redeem himself by namedropping Cannon & Ball though.

Yeah when he asked "is these guys big 30 Rock fans" to Scott's utter bemusement like 10 seconds after Scott said stamps.com for the 15th time just killed me and was funnier than anything in an episode with two great guests. I wonder if HH is always going to be a super-niche show or if it will tip into wider popularity at some point

Is their show actually about entertainment gossip like I assume it is? Cause that's why I don't listen, they seem funny though

It's not at all.

It's hard for me to describe what it is exactly but if I had to pick an episode to recommend it'd probably be the Sinbad ep:

Not in the slightest. I wrote off Reality Show Show because I care so little about reality tv that I wasn't interested in it even as a jumping off point, but I probably missed out. After one ep of Hollywood Handbook, I grabbed the entire back catalog, and I'm not someone looking for new podcasts.

I'd describe it as an insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in the red carpet-lined back hallways of this industry we call showbiz.

People have already responded, but I did this little write-up for a similar question over at the Earwolf subreddit, a couple of suggestions on particular episodes and linking directly to some of their famous bits to get an idea of their show. Some of the jokes might lose their full punch when you don't have the benefit of having heard the whole episode. But if you're on the fence and don't want to listen to hours of episodes just for the off-chance of maybe liking the show it might help

BJ Novak - Spider-Man 2
https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodhandbook/bj-novak-our-close-friend#t=46:15
The boys do a read-through on a script, this is something that happens from time to time on the show and is usually loving hilarious. The Paul Scheer and Brian Huskey episodes have the same thing, highly recommend those two as well.

Gil Ozeri - Home Mart or Homemart, Engineer Brett takes over the show
https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodhandbook/gil-ozeri-our-close-friend#t=11:28
This clip is a bit longer but probably my favorite Hollywood Handbook moment, get crazier and crazier for 10 more minutes. The finale is amazing when Brett tries to do the show and spectacularly screws it up.

Betsy Sodaro - The Write Stuff: Casablanca
https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodhandbook/betsy-sodaro-our-close-friend#t=9:28
The boys do a read-through on the opening scene in Casblanca and start with having Engineer Brett making the sound for starting the selection machine.
For a quick listen just focus on the Engineer forced to make sounds, but the whole Casablanca read is great.

Betsy Sodaro - A listener question about sound engineers
https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodhandbook/betsy-sodaro-our-close-friend#t=1:05:42
This clip also references the earlier incident from Gil Ozeri, this is the kind of callback and inside jokes that can occur on HH. Not that different from other shows on Earwolf, and you won't miss much if you don't remember it.

Jes Macallan - Drop the mic
https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodhandbook/macallan-our-close-friend#t=57:13
Engineer Brett freaks out about 300$ microphones.
Kind of a trend going on here maybe, but I just love when they get antagonistic against someone which is usually the engineer. Also the Jes McCallan episode has some great Italian bits but I'm not sure how to summarize it into one link.

Betsy Sodaro is amazing in anything. I, too, am going to give Hollywood Handbook a try thanks to this thread's constant, endless recommendations of it. Congratulations, guys, you won.

Any recommendations on a first: Neil Casey, Jon Gabrus Again, Kumail Nanjiani, Paul F Tompkins Again, or Matt Gourley?
