Turns in for the 8/3 show and dipped out after numerous “jokes” about someone eating din-din. My 9 yr old nephew cracks better better jokes unscripted around the dinner, yeah folks that’s right, table.
The dumbest people I have ever heard. The lack of awareness they have when the joke isn’t working kills the show. I’ll never get this time back….. if you love incomplete thoughts and listening to the hosts mumble back and forth… this is home!
I’m not sure if the rudeness from the hosts is supposed to be funny, but I didn’t find it very entertaining.
Hollywood Handbook is a smart, funny, nice show with cool guys who are fun to be around. I have been listening to it for 12 years and I’ve been happy to pay many hundreds of dollars for the privilege. You should also listen to Hollywood Handbook and pay them money too. Think about it like this: if everyone in the world subscribed to the show, Hollywood Handbook would be the biggest country on earth and the Boys could probably even host SNL.
and then I listen to it again the way you double-tap a zombie.

This show blends insider entertainment industry banter with outrageous, high-energy conversations and guest-driven storytelling. Episodes frequently center on showbiz mechanics, promotional stunts, and meta-commentary about Hollywood culture, often weaving in cross-media promos, fictional pitches, and improvisational humor. A notable strength is the seamless mix of long-running in-jokes with candid industry insights, making it both entertaining for fans and informative for potential guests or sponsors seeking a behind-the-scenes perspective. The format leans into guest-driven discussions with a playful, chaotic energy, plus occasional meta-merits about hosting itself that set it apart from typical interview shows.
