Tarranon posted:Barring that the episode where they interview the engineers is super fun, This is hilarious. It was recorded when Comedy Bang Bang was deepest in the "let's play a game" structure, and the boys grow increasingly baffled and angry that it's a show. So good. edit: Also, Brian Huskey's first appearance and the Teen Pope script read is the episode that completely sold me on the show, so maybe give that one a shot.

Once you've gotten your sea legs with it, if you like hearing on-air disasters, definitely revisit the Pauly Shore episode. The Julie Klausner/Tom Scharpling eps are very good. Scharpling was my entry point to HH and his appearances on the show (and their appearances on the Best Show) are worth tracking down. They went on a real tear last year about being guests on other podcasts and generated some real inside baseball episodes but they're some of the best if you're familiar with other podcasts. The one with Kulap where they do a "Who's Charted" chart and the one where they have Paul F Tompkins on and hijack Spontaneanation are pretty good. If you like Brandon Content, "Higher and Mightier" makes good use of Wengert too, and the followup, "The Wendigabrus", is a good payoff.

I love that I still have about half the HH back catalogue that's fairly new to me. It look me a long time to get into it (like most) so revisiting those episodes now that I'm a devotee as well as skipping all the earlier ones where I didn't know who their guests were is always a delight. Though I prefer the newer, less structured, more cynical Hayes and Sean who constantly bump up against their feelings of failure. Back when they were bright-eyed hurts a little. They... probably would not like to hear that feedback.

The Wendigabrus ep made me cut back on listening to so many podcasts. There were some jokes in it that requires the listener to be familiar with HH, Doughboys, High and Mighty and the personal lives of all the hosts. I took it as some kind of warning sign. I mean I have a commute and everything but I don’t have THAT long of a commute.

Can we start a poll as to whether or not the Pauly Shore interview is real? Some people think it is, but he seems to be totally in character to me.

I don't think those big event format-breaking episodes are as funny if you haven't listened to the other ones to get a feel for the show honestly. Just jump in. Start from the beginning if you really want to.

You know, maybe I'll listen to it again to give it another chance but I almost feel like Gethard leaned too hard into it—though admittedly it felt very much in the realm of the Sinbad/Dave Thomas episodes. He nailed the premise of the show, but so well that it felt like it was out of a different podcast. Like, it was too far removed from reality for my tastes compared to the average episode.

If Dave Holmes can be The Noid and Joe Wengert can talk to a trash can named Douglas who craves human fluids, Chris Gethard can be possessed by the demon Josh Franklin. (Really the funniest part of the Hayes/Gethard episode is Gethard asking "who added all those racial jokes" when discussing the one Big Lake episode where Hayes is the credited writer.)

I agree with this to the extent that I think it's basically not an episode of Hollywood Handbook, since Gethard made it his own thing (and the ending in particular was closer to CBB's sensibility than HH's), but I still think it's one of the funniest episodes they've put out. I lost it when the prostitute told him it was her father's birthday.

Off Book is clearly kinda magical even as a recorded show, but their Just For Laughs live podcast was so cool to see done in person. They’re touring, so consider checking it out!

Pauly Shore seems like one of those "actors" who is onenote and that one note is pretty much just their IRL personality. Admittedly I'm not intimate with all his works, but from what I've seen on screen and in interviews he is just Pauly Shore everytime only when he's in movies they sometimes change his name.

Pauly Shore was definitely not just doing a bit. I'm pretty sure Sean and Hayes talked about it on Doughboys. Edit: I mean he's definitely playing a character to some extent, but I get the impression that's just how he lives his life, and not anything he was doing specifically for the show. Here's an article about how he was lovely to his intern that suggests he never really stops: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8gdxwb/i-interned-for-pauly-shore-and-it-really-sucked Dr Kool-AIDS fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 28, 2018 |

On the subject of old HH episodes, one of the old Paul Rust (I think) episodes features the boys calling iTunes support to try to get a factually inaccurate review taken down (it said they sucked). One of my favorite early bits.

One of my favorite early bits. iTunes review is in the second Jon Gabrus episode, second Paul Rust episode has them reading personal messages to business associates because their phones are broken ("This message is to my doctor; He is...a rear end in a top hat doctor.") Looking through these, around that time was the Patrick Walsh episode, which is a low-key favorite of mine. It's the show at its most basic, with a guest you've never heard of getting the show immediately. He quickly establishes his own backstory as a child producer in 1980's Hollywood, which leads into a bit where they recount famously fraught relationships they've had on set.

Seconding the Patrick Walsh ep as an underrated gem. Sean goes on a ten-minute improv thing during ‘That’s Wheely Interesting’ that might be my all-time favorite moment on the show.

I've relistened to the Mopes trilogy on improv4humans recently and I just listened to the Off Book with Jon Gabrus. If Gabrus and McKenna aren't involved with some one season ensemble comedy I'm going to be very disappointed in the world. I'm not asking for much here.

I don’t miss too many old segments but the that’s wheely interesting ep with Brian Baumgartner’s BBQ (I’m talking about slow cooking these riiiibs) and Gmail roulette where Macklemore commiserates with Hayes about how it’s not cool to like fancy things now that black people can have them are all time favorites to me. I should really check out the pro version. Is the app not insanely broken any more. Can you actually search for eps?
