Teen Pope script with Brian Huskey made it on the Best Of and it's still as hilarious.

Their music queues make me literally LOL. Get Ur Freak On for bloopers is perfect.

I just started relistening to TRSS for the first time since it was released. It's weird to hear them not be totally in character yet.

I'm super happy for their well-deserved and long-time-coming surge in popularity, but it is still wildly surreal to see HH in the top ten comedy podcasts on iTunes.

Oh hey that's awesome. The idea for them to be on CBB has been floated here a few times and it's great that it actually had in impact.

Is Hollywood Handbook seriously getting that many new listens from this? Because this list seems to suggest more people are listening to HH than Comedy Bang Bang right now: http://www.itunescharts.net/us/charts/podcasts/comedy/

Soundcloud used to keep a tally of listens, but it looks like they removed that feature, so I don't know how to tell how popular any given episode is anymore.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
The listener spike and decline that they joked about in the episode is inevitable now.

The RSS segment "This kind of racism is OK" is another one to keep your ears peeled for. I think they may have only done it once or twice though.

Does RSS ever stop doing the call in stuff? I got to the episodes where they do it in my run through and the call ins make the show infinitely worse to me.

I think I remember two different ones about Sheldon in Top Chef S10 - one where Brooke is attacking his cooking style as a gimmick and his elimination where Hugh Acheson claims his food lost all its spirit or something.

They didn't do it for very long. But yeah, it's the worst aspect of the show(mainly because most of the fans aren't actually funny, they just think they are because they say things sarcastically like Hayes and Sean), culminating in when they had those nerds from that reality show about nerds on and it was the most awkward thing ever.

Agreed, I could live with the call-ins but that was the only episode I didn't finish, even the other nerd seemed put off when the one guy started describing his thesis in agonizing detail. At least it dispelled any notion that the people on that show were just playing characters.

Yeah, the call-in during the nerdtalk was so painful I could not listen to it. I actually thought it was interesting to hear what the nerds had to say, but the dude nerd had a non-existent sense of humor, to the point that ANYTHING Sean and Hayes said for laughs was met with less than nothing.

Yeah, it's really bad. Whenever I re-listen to The Reality Show Show I avoid most of the segments that have guests from actual reality shows for similar reasons, but none are as cringe-inducing as that episode.

It's really frustrating to me that no one brings up that Hayes cannot say the word "eliminated" and he instead says "lemonaded". If I'd have been listening when it was on I'd have put a stop to that.

On an episode of April Richardson's Saved by the Bell podcast, Scott talks about how he had a theater instructor in school who may have touched him inappropriately at times and definitely kissed him once to teach him how to do it.

On episode of 26 of TRSS, Sean tells a story about how when he was in high school, there was a class trip to Paris. While they were at the Louvre, his teacher's wife straight up went into his pocket and started giving him a handy. It's okay though, because the teacher ended up being gay and got in trouble for molesting some boys at their school.

highly recommend both, hilarious stuff

Harris got that handjob from a middle aged woman at a Cowboy Mouth concert - I'm sensing a pattern. If you want your teen son to be a comedian, find an older woman to give him an unrequested handjob in public. It will start him on the path.
