[Episode 86 — Ross Mathews, Our Close Friend]

This episode was great but interns need to stop being so horny and be good hard working cool nice and funny guys.

 

"internal" bit was my favorite part

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

Ross, why does my cat hate me and my mom say that's why I shouldn't have gotten a cat and I can't have any responsibilities and I might as well move back in?

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

sean met this guy ross mathews at a class to make bagels at home. he is jay lego's friend, nice kid. gonna be on the show to do questions with. from: hayes

 

 

Dear Ross,

 

I saw Jay Leno driving in Encino once, on my Grandma's block. Explain please.

[Do any of you Handbook-heads have bands? If so, plug them here!]

 

I know the boys from Title Fight, great guys! Ben, from Tigers Jaw, is one of my best friends

 

Also: I dig the sound of your band

 

 

that's awesome to hear, i've seen both of those bands somewhat recently and both were really great live, good to hear they're good dudes as well.

 

thank you much for the compliment :^)

[Episode 65 — Dan Klein, Our Close Friend]

"uh, were your parents hittin the bong?"

[Do any of you Handbook-heads have bands? If so, plug them here!]

i have a band called Locas. locas.bandcamp.com is where you will find our demo from last year, we're recording again soon. back then we were a 2-piece and now we have a third member so it'll be more full sounding on the next time around. riyl Jawbreaker, Pavement, Dino Jr, Joyce Manor, Title Fight, any other stuff between indie rock and post-hardcore/emo

Filling out surveys... When did this become Myspace in 2005?

ooooh can I be on your top 8? I feel like your profile gets quite a bit of traffic, and I'd like some new adds.

[So how long...]

How long

must we sing this song

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

 

I saw them in Brooklyn last year and it was amazing. They opened with 'Oh, Comely'. I also drank a big beer at a german bar and ate a sausage so it was a great night.

 

i didn't have any sausage or beer last night but it was still great. they closed the normal set with oh comely, which was the first time i'd seen them play it (seen them twice previously). i saw jeff do it when he played a solo set but with the band doing the instrumentation at the end it made it that much better. the encore was Little Birds followed by the last 3 tracks of ITAOTS so it was pretty perfect. i smoked a joint that was as wide as a sausage? great night regardless

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

Chance the Rapper is never a mistake devscoots.

 

Edit, words.

 

Also, A Bear, I just listened to your music and I thought it was just swell. I'm not crying or anything.

 

 

Every track that Chance has put out since Acid Rap has been a mistake though

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

drove out to santa ana (which basically makes california look like a fucking flyover state or some bullshit, 40+ miles from hollywood are you kidding me?) to see Neutral Milk Hotel last night. Third time seeing them since the reunion and I'd have to say it was the best live experience I've ever had (other than Hollywood Handbook live @ UCB sunset)

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

i let a "marc macaroni" slip in front of non-handbook-heads today. that wasn't good, but they don't deserve cool smart funny humor such as that anyhow

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

just listened to the DC Pierson episode of WTF with Marc Macaroni. surprised that he was on there, any chance Clemdawg gets it in the next year or so? would be wild.

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

I loved them calling him "Dave" the whole episode and then Sean's reaction when Lapkus wanted to clarify that they were talking about Letterman.

 

"mmmmMMMM YES"

 

 

i really need a supercut of every time sean does the mmmmmMMMMMMMMM

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

MCIII is actually a great album. I was disappointed in the reviews by pitchfork among others, I'd say it's a solid 8 out of 10 and within my top 10 of the year thus far. good job mickey cro-cro, really making a name for Gojira records

[Episode 85 — David Letterman, Our Close Friend]

Marc Macaroni is my favorite part of this whole episode, which is so stupid but I love it and can't look at his face without thinking of that name (I look at Marc's face a few times per hour throughout my day). Glad to see someone as spunky as Lapkus joining in on the fun, remembering someone as spunky as the late Dave. Thanks Dave, rest in late night peace.

[Episode 84 — Moments of Greatness, Our Constant Companions]

happy memorial day, no thanks to obamna of course

[Episode 84 — Moments of Greatness, Our Constant Companions]

i'm hungry for new handbook :-(

[Episode 84 — Moments of Greatness, Our Constant Companions]

this was the best best-of podcast

[Episode 83 — Nick Kroll, Our Close Friend]

 

Ah yes.. the self-styled "Nick Kroll comedy payola investigator" - I follow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TrivagoD

 

She even looks nuts.

 

 

wait what exactly is the deal with that part of her bio? i scrolled through her tweets for as long as possible without wanting to delete MY twitter (about 20 tweets), but nothing about Kroll. is this a thing she's done involving the aforementioned 3 blogs? im very out of the loop on this, unless it's all a tiny bit of a joke

[Who would you like to be guests on CBB alongside Hayes and Sean?]

Paul Rust. The world needs more New No No's.

yes! when is the last time Rust went on?

 

i guess all three of those guys would be "characters" kind of but it would be weird not having an actual character per usual, although they've done it before on cbb

[Who would you like to be guests on CBB alongside Hayes and Sean?]

That's the stuff I'm hoping for. In fact, I think what I really want is for them to be guests on HIS show.

oh yeah, i wasn't saying it was a bad thing. thinking of him calling them idiots reminds me of the 2nd PFT ep where Sean is called stupid by the guest while playing Riddle Me This. also the way they do Riddle Me This on that episode is one of my favorite HH segments ever

[Finally caught up on all the episodes]

Gave one a listen after the CBB ad a while back and now I'm hooked. Perfect podcast!

what's your favorite so far? i'm on my second run-through right now, first time my favorite was DCP (mainly for the discussion of all things rando), but I think Dan Klein might be my favorite now
