This is the best fanfiction I've ever read. My only critique would be more pictures. The episode was also very good. Everyone was funny. Ms. Byers has a lovely voice and also her lipstick looks very nice.

That "too be continued" shit, is that normal for this show? It made me mad. Also, has Zach always been portrayed as a giant asshole? Or is that new for this season?

This was a very good and funny joke about confusing which holidays are which days, but my birthday actually isn't until tomorrow, so I haven't opened any of my presents yet.

Pretty accurate! We can say it is!

Well, I was kinda nervous about showing myself on the internet, but OK!

Really enjoyed this episode. Will def listen to Talkin' Turkey if it is less scary. Speaking of which...any way you guys can tone down the E**l D**d talk in here? Here is a ringtone. The ringtone is of "Whoa-oh. Hollywood Handbook." Maybe you guys can use it for your text or e-mail notifications or to alert you that your stocks have gone up or another producer wants you to star in his/her next movie or whatever. I don't know, your choice! I tried to make it just say "Whoa-oh" so that only the TRUE Handbook Heads would recognize it when my phone's blowing up in public, but that was too short of a time to do in GarageBand and I didn't wanna go fooling around in other programs trying to cut it down because life is too short. But life is too long not to make a Hollywood Handbook ringtone at all, so here you go! PS Thinking of getting an avatar, what are the pros/cons of that?

Just FYI I told this to my friend, hope that was OK. She laughed twice (2 times.) Don't worry, I didn't take credit, I said "a guy on the internet said this thing."

I wanna do a depressing hangout someone please alert me when that happens I am writing this at 2 am but I feel confident I will feel the same way tomorrow~!

Ross is also a great doggy. I hope they are related! Full disclosure, Penny is not technically "my" dog per se as she belongs to my roommate, but she is mine in my heart.

Having recently hit 100 cumulative likes, I'd like to submit my official petition to no longer be considered "new." However, as this is the first I've been asked to share a picture of my D, I'll oblige. D with M, circa 1980. And here is Penny the dog.

Almost all of the posts so far in this thread have been very good and correct but I would also like to point out that Sean singing "Cherry Bomb" was very funny.

Tell all your secrets. EDIT: Or explain to me this #FaceOfMLB promotion that I don't understand. Either one.

I think it's great to have a forum villain. Then everybody can stop trying to make Chanson into a villain/MRA, he seems to not like that for some reason. And acclaimed novelist Don DeLillo seems like he has the chops to be a great villain, although I do worry about his advanced age.

I really enjoyed TJ's Adolescents-style t-shirt last night. I know it was for some BMX thing and not the Adolescents but it still made him feel relatable and punk rock. Great job, TJ and/or wardrobe people.

Oh, I'm just south of you in the 02! East side 4 life/until it gets too expensive.

Not enough likes in this thread yet so I just liked every post. In return please refrain from discussing this episode until I've had a chance to listen to it. PS Cameronobrian did you not read page 22 of the other thread?! I want to know what neighborhood you live in!

durbeyfield where in Texas do you live? Also cameronobrian if you read this where in Austin do you live?? Top 3 guesses for where cameronobrian lives: -Clarksville -Hyde Park -(Wildcard) Windsor Park Top 3 guesses for where durbeyfield lives: -Denton -El Paso -(Wildcard) Nacogdoches

The first HH I listened to was the episode with the engineers, because I wanted to know why Cody had been fucking up so much on the other shows I listened to. Needless to say, my question was never answered. Bababooey.

Betsy, what's your favorite Buzzfeed quiz and what result did you get? One time I was on a date with this guy and we ran into my friend Liz so I introduced him and he was like "You should go by Elizabeth, it's much classier." Where does the nickname Betsy fall on the Liz-Elizabeth spectrum of classiness and why was that guy such a dick?

Make up your mind. Can't do both. I spent my evening teaching teens about grammar and feel confident in saying that grammar is NOT fun.

Look, man, I get where you're coming from, but the people have spoken, and the people HATE "What up what up." How you or I feel about it is irrelevant. If we want Hollywood Handbook to become the #2 least listened to show on Earwolf, that's the price we have to pay. Get used to "Wagwan wagwan" or "What what" or some other hilarious, totally rando new phrase, and say goodbye to "What up what up," which literally everyone hates and no one loves or has already mentioned they would spend their real actual money to buy on a t-shirt. Great episode.

Thanks! That was super helpful. Yeah I don't know either, just kind of threw that in as a catch-all just in case there was something super important I should know. But it kind of seems like if someone is acting in a way I don't understand, it's probably not because of any long backstory I'm missing, and just because that person is crazy? Am I more or less right?

OK, after hearing all the Challenge talk on RSS + reading this thread I have started to watch this season and HOLY SHIT this show is incredible. I get it. I get it now. However, I do have a few questions that I would be grateful if anyone could answer for me. (Feel free to tell me to go back and watch the first 25 seasons, but know in your heart that I will not be doing that.) 1.) I know there's obviously tons of backstory that I'm missing, but is there something about Sarah in particular that I'm not getting from just this season? Because so far she seems like the sanest one, but a bunch of you guys put her on your teams. Is that just for competitive reasons, or is she going to turn crazy? 2.) Why was Jemmye going on about how she's only into athletic black men but her partner/ex is a doofy white guy? 3.) What is the origin of this Wes/Bananas rivalry? 4.) Any other important things that they've left out of the first three episodes? 5.) Are some (most? all?) of these people just basically professional Challenge players at this point? If so, how can they afford to do that without winning? If not, what the fuck kind of jobs do they have that just let them go off and do The Challenge every couple of months? What will they all do when they're too old? 6.) How fucking old IS Johnny Bananas, anyway? Like 45? 7.) Other than obviously CT and Diem, who am I supposed to like on this show? And most importantly of all, who am I supposed to hate (besides "everyone")?

Iliza Schlesinger has a new special out but none of the reviews mention if she does any ventriloquy in it. Anybody know?

I would pay a large amount of money* for this shirt. *Relative to the size of my income, which is not large, and in fact some would say very small. Small small small.
