    Do you remember when Feeby came back from seeing her cousin Neil and his lovely wife's child? She said he was a great baby and even better second cousin (I speculate that Neil was Feeby's father's sister's son, making them first cousins, although many F.R.I.E.N.D.S. F.I.E.N.D.S. condemn this as a continuity error as this was never established. The episode was attributed to fan-hated writer Michael Borkow {Bore Cow!} although I never thought his episodes were that bad, plus he was said to bring bagels to the writer's room), to which Ian says "Now that's what I call a Neil's son rating!"

    Lydon, my dear boy, these are excellent. I'm sorry I took Abbi, I'd love it, should she consent, for you and I to each take a cheek and lay a polite dry kissy on there, same timesies. Mad Men is also a great choice for TV show and I wish I had picked it now.

    To whoever does the wiki: I was on the first call-in episode too. Listen out for my "Shark Tale" zinger slaying.

    Added it, daddy.

     

    We're doing it in detail one ep at a time so we're on episode 12. Everything past that should probably be considered "in progress." Maybe I should add a contstruction-themed animated gif? So everyone don't be offended if you're currently left out, we will get around to you! Also feel free to add it yourself don't be too proud. Or tell me to do it like true Wiki-father Andrew

    I'm quite proud that the Hollywood Handbook wiki is getting more and more robust by the day. I'd say it's pretty solid at identifying an episode by searching if you're ever stumped, and will be ridiculously overly detailed in a few months if the re-listen we're in the process of doing maintains its momentum.

     

    Here are the annotations from the best-of Ep. 84, although I'm sure many of you already know this stuff. It's pretty fun to go down the rabbit hole based off this ep though, there are transcripts of the Spider-man short story for example. There are also 23 Earwolf forum users pages so far, basically if you had a popcorn gallery question or pro version in the first 11 episodes (so far) you're in there baby.

     

    Please contribute if you want! There is likely enough of a framework that you can add stuff to your favorite episodes, or the guest pages, or forums users, or whatever. You don't even need an account.

     

    Also does anyone know who Erica Thompson is? Hayes suggests that Ellie Kemper sing about her, did she used to have a different account name on here? I'm usually good at figuring out things on the order of hugLife now being Inner G' and the like but I'm stumped on this one

    Yeah I can definitely see that similarity, but maybe its just me but for me, just 1 listen was too much of their 'in' jokes so to speak. As a CBB enthusiast, I could hear Scott add a "its been awhile" "my wiiiiife" "woody allen: what about the murphy group" 100 times in a row and find it funny, but I know a new listener would be annoyed half to death, and I think that's whats happening here.

     

    Reading some of these 400 posts has bummed me out slightly. The "farmy brat" line early on was something that I thought was next-level, but apparently thats a well worn bit? I was thinking, wow he came up with that gem pretty quick

     

    Sean said farmy brat once before.

     

    What you're calling in-jokes is what I'd say is just a manner of speaking in character. Like Traci Reardon's lisp, ALW's British-isms and altered pronunciations, Dalton Wilcox's "goddamn." I guess "Speak on that" is kind of a catchphrase but that isn't dissimilar to normal CBB characters.

     

    Heck even Scott has stylish rhythms of speaking. "I've heard of ___ but ___!?" "I guess that ____ is, well, a bit of a ____"

    Loved this. (Mostly) enjoyed the ads leading up to this, really loved the episode.

     

    They mentioned this in the ep and I'm sure it's been covered in the 9 pages I didn't read, but -- any good eps (RIP) to check out for first time hollywood handbook listeners?

     

    If you liked the script read, and I'm sure you did, perhaps check out the Paul Scheer and B.J. Novak eps (as folks indeed said earlier). If you liked this, you'd like any of 'em though it's v consistent

    I liked it when Hayes referenced Junebug the movie and only Sean laughed. I was looking at its IMDB and Matt Besser was in it too.

     

    I'm from Kentucky and Will Oldham a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Billy was in that movie and we always thought it would be funny if we saw him (he lives in Louisville) to tell him we loved him in Junebug because he was in it for a couple of seconds and then my friend did it one night. So I guess you can say I'm into alt comedy.

     

    Anyway this was a great episode of a great podcast and everyone is so funny.

    Do you think she would work well with Hayes and Sean? I think she's very funny but for a good CBB you need someone playing an outlandish character IMO

     

    She is great at characs. The Vegetarian Robot, Curious Latina, Kaslida.

     

    That's actually a good point though. My main reason for wanting her on HH is that being a Hollywood big shot is one of her favorite things to play up on her own podcast and twitter, "Is this relatable?" etc. Plus I think she'd get a real charge out of S&H. Alas, maybe CBB isn't the ideal place for it

    • The DJ from the Jersey Boys bit, who sounds like a cartoon alligator

    • "A Day in the Life" bits - Alexander Payne is good, but especially Kevin Smith ("is this good?" and how fat he is)

    I know these two are John Cochran and Little Esther

     

    I heard this one again today and I had a right aul laugh at it.

    what episode was this? sounds like a hot clip and I only vaguely remember it!

    Three I don't think have been mentioned, but also happen to be some of my favorites are:

     

    The gmail-roulette where Sean reads his email from Juliette Louis-Dreyfus

     

    The Ellie Kemper interview where they only talk about her appearance on Hollywood Game Night

     

    Their breakdown of the scene in Casablanca

     

    I hope someone can put eps to the not obvious one... I cannot remember, but I'd love to go back to these.

    1. Gmail Roulette - Ellie Kemper
    2. Hollywood Game Night -This is also from the Ellie Kemper episode, uh doi!
    3. Casablanca - Betsy Sodaro
