Casaba 5942 Posted December 13, 2014 Chanson you were very nice and polite. You just allowed them to rant, which was good because that's when they are at their funniest. Brgrho, you probably were fine. Letting them walk all over you makes for good podcasting. I think maybe I talked too much. I am having some serious post-call in depression. 3 Share this post Link to post
Andrew 4646 Posted December 13, 2014 They just hung up on everyone, I guess that's it. I got through, sort of! 1 Share this post Link to post
robinsbruce 4985 Posted December 13, 2014 Did anyone hear what they said about me? I couldn't hear anything 1 Share this post Link to post
Andrew 4646 Posted December 13, 2014 They said you looked like Jason Mantzoukas but it was hard to hear because everyone was talking/someone had a lot of background noise. Share this post Link to post
Casaba 5942 Posted December 13, 2014 Valerie, I think I am in your camp now. Call ins are rough. All the awkwardness of a phone conversation being recorded for everyone to hear for all eternity. Ugh. 1 Share this post Link to post
Casaba 5942 Posted December 13, 2014 Oh no! Sorry Brett. I was so happy that you were the engineer there. It made me a little less nervous. 1 Share this post Link to post
Asteck 1250 Posted December 13, 2014 "thank you, that's true" So cool to get to make my mark. Charlie Murphy Brown was on before us and they laid into him for copying Sean which was really funny. 2 Share this post Link to post
Andrew 4646 Posted December 13, 2014 I only got a little taste, where they put everyone left in the queue on at once. But now I'm chasing that dragon, I hope they do another. P.S. hi bret 1 Share this post Link to post
Asteck 1250 Posted December 13, 2014 Mmmm. Yes. Admittedly, I had them on speakerphone, which they did not appreciate, and was otherwise generally ill-prepared for public mouth talkings. I get aggressive when the nerves kick in and, unfortunately, the nerves did not kick in so I let them walk all over me like some kind of terrible Engineer Chanson Frankenstein. LIVE AND LEARN. I heard you're portion and it was great! The duck rant was so good. hi brett, thanks for dumping a whole load of 23-29 yr olds on Hayes. 1 Share this post Link to post
chanson 9697 Posted December 13, 2014 Dear Sean, Sorry I lashed out at you. That was wrong. You're good on the show, too. I've just been under a lot of stress lately because my dog, Dreidel, has been really unruly and jumping on frail old people and almost injuring them and it's causing me a lot of stress because she's a danger to the public. Next time I call in I'll be better. Love, Chanson 3 Share this post Link to post
alargebucket 1589 Posted December 13, 2014 I took a selfie with some of you guys during the call mostly for posterity, but now it's just a time capsule of my shame. Also, hey, Brett. Also, I have been out of likes for the past hour. So, I mean no disrespect to anyone. I'll get ya on the flipside. 10 Share this post Link to post
Casaba 5942 Posted December 13, 2014 Brgrho, I like the selfie and I share your shame. Call ins are rough. I too have been out of likes. All of you are amazing! 2 Share this post Link to post
Andrew 4646 Posted December 13, 2014 Come on LinkedIn, do you think I would ever connect with the Alpha of the Wolf Den? EHH! WRONG. 2 Share this post Link to post
chanson 9697 Posted December 13, 2014 I like how they term it "quickly connect to some people we think you know." Share this post Link to post
Asteck 1250 Posted December 13, 2014 To everyone feeling bad: I've never been to a show and left saying "whoa that audience member killed it!" just remember that the show's not about you and as long as you didn't try to prank them or aggressively steal the spotlight you probably did really well! 2 Share this post Link to post
Bozos of Basketball 3689 Posted December 13, 2014 Brett I said "hey fellas" and definitely considered you to be one of those fellas. 1 Share this post Link to post

Spunky Foonerism 8561 Posted December 13, 2014 I'm just worried that if you guys did a bad job that Scott Awkwardman will make them end the Hollywood Handbook show, and make them move to New Orleans and start up a third podcast called "The 'Hollywood South' Handbook." Then they'd probably want me to show them around town and introduce them to John Goodman and Brad Pitt, and I'd have to spend hours and hours explaining the significance of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "22 Jump Street." Who's got time for all that noise? Technically, I do, but it seems exhausting. Share this post Link to post

kobthatreal 5896 Posted December 13, 2014 I tried calling at the time posted, but my work break was over 15 minutes later. Im self employed just very strict about break times and getting back to work cause they say when you retire you're really just waiting to die, which is something a coworker of mine once said to a retired couple when we were installing their home entertainment system. It was painful. 4 Share this post Link to post

chanson 9697 Posted December 13, 2014 I'm kinda bummed I didn't get to hear everyone else. I'm really looking forward to this episode except for the part I'm in. I'm gonna cringe so hard during that part. I really like the call-in episodes but probably not all the time. It's cool when so many of us participate. I enjoyed it a lot even though I think I was characterized as a terrible human being (not that I'm not a terrible human being, but for different reasons than those mentioned). I also acknowledge that it's very likely my fault I was characterized in such a way. Also, I didn't get to ask about Real World: Skeletons, which I honestly wanted to hear about from Sean ad Hayes. 2 Share this post Link to post
