    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

     

    I could be wrong, but I think the 'back' bit was new to both. I really enjoyed that one.

     

    I will add, one of the things I enjoy the most about them is their relentless approach to these characters. I would encourage you to check out the Matt Gourley ep. It is one of my absolute favorite and I think it gets to the heart of their 'thing'. It's not like everyone has to love all the same things... well, I mean outside of Hollywood Handbook obviously.

    Wow, see the table read was what I thought was awful about the episode. I enjoyed Hayes and Sean during the interview portion, and I think that was still a lot of their shtick rather than general CBB randomness, but it completely devolved in that table read. It felt like a situation that could come up on a normal CBB episode and be done very well but to me it was completely forgettable, the 2 extra players gave me nothing memorable. Would have been very into it if I stopped listening when that started

     

    I hear you in terms of laughter and such bothering you. Intellectually, I understand your point and I won't invalidate your experience, but man do I enjoy their goofiness. Different jokes for different folks after all.

     

    I think they kept very much in the spirit of HH as it was an extended plug for their show, which the best of featured two other table reads. For me, and maybe it's just me, I don't see a huge gulf between what they do and some of the sillier CBB bits. Thanks for enduring the HH enthusiasm!

    yeah, there's a weird contingent of in denial homophobes (probably sexists too) who are really threatened by a woman making any mention of her sexual orientation.

     

    if you cannot enjoy JW Stillwater and his trusty ward in their quest to thwart the evil plans of Professor Steelwater then I feel sad for you.
