    The quickest improv wits in media
    These two guys are improv geniuses. To the people who don’t get the joke, move on. I laugh out loud at their humor. Enjoy!
  • Roland Stock
    Awaiting the return…
    Of funky factables. For new listeners: your favorite guest isn’t being mistreated. That is the joke and they are in on it and having fun. Be like them

    Undercooked NyQuil Chicken
    I don’t even want to talk about the aftermath of the undercooked NyQuil chicken that Hayes served me and Sean. We were both falling asleep while having the worst diarrhoea in our lives. And my dog licked up some of Sean’s vomit and fell asleep never to wake again. YOU KILLED MY DOG HAYES
  • Carl Tart's Party Farts
    6/5

    👎
    Babble ad copy really rubbed me the wrong way. My culture isn’t your punchline.

    The Hat Pack
    The hat hasn’t helped people know I am listening to the show, but 5 stars nonetheless
  • changprobs
    Originally, this helped me navigate becoming a Hollywood star
    and then over the next ten years became more of a free flowing conversation that occasionally touches on mature themes.

    Props to Brennan Lee Mulligan
    Big dropout fan looking for another podcast to branch out to that Brennans been on. Didn’t get a chance to see any of their other eps because it was so insufferable I couldn’t make it through this one. Props to Brennan for staying professional without compromising his morals. Obviously there’s an audience for this so good for you I guess, can’t imagine going through the world with this energy.
  • sircucksalot
    Wow
    I’ve been listening to this nonsense off and on for about a while. And was blown away as a native screenwriter that they had Tommy Orange on I was like whoa what??? Tuned in to hear Orange be dryly wryly funnier than the dude duo wow they now deserve all five of these Wonderful Stars not to be confused with Wondry or wandering Here’s your fifth star There. There.
  • WAJRJ
    To rEaLlY know Hollywood
    You might listen to this. Or to someone and something else. Clown and Daze have a book in them.
  • soonerfan02
    Speak on that
    Sean and Hayes know what they’re talking about, and isn’t THAT interesting?
  • Antoi313
    Best Podcast
    Hayes and Sean are legitimately genius. No podcast is funnier. The joy that they bring me and my friends is unmatched. They are the quickest and most sharp. These are legends and HH is iconic. 5 stars. The Sinbad episodes are classics.
  • autumn silverwood
    An absolute treasure
    Never before have I come across something so consistently dumb and brilliant at the same time.

    Funny guys
    These guys are a very funny duo, and are an acquired taste that really pays off. Do you think Noam Chomsky has seen 8 mile? If he has, do you think he was kinda hyped on the climactic rap battle at the end? Do you think he laughed when cheddar Bob shot his own crotch lol.
  • Team Tanna
    Hilarious
    This podcast is such a joy, Hayes and Shaun are so ridiculously talented and funny.
  • eqninja
    The Best
    You either get it or you don’t have as good of a sense of humor as you think you do.
  • annoyedaf1234567
    Absolutely
    Insufferable
  • Magoo1776
    The best in the biz
    Love the boys!
  • Autumne Stuart
    Completely unprofessional self centered hosts
    I came to listen to the Ayo Edibiri episode. She was great. They were completely unprofessional. Kudos to her for keeping her cool.
  • mspassell
    Giving 5 but TBH the answer is 4.25
    I would like this podcast better if Ron Howard's note on the cover art was in his actual handwriting.
  • RatSquirrel
    Absolutely excellent
    There is no better comedy podcast. Period. Funniest guys in the world. If you disagree you should go check out the rope and rickety stool store.
  • richelleolsen
    THE funniest podcast out there
    this is the funniest podcast in the world. i have listened to literally billions of hours of podcasts over the last decade and this is the only one that has made me cry laughing (on a number of occasions!) it’s impossible to describe but Hollywood Handbook is flawless
  • Flevd
    not good
    these guys are old and stuffy. really not worth your time
  • CavemanDan42
    The Boys
    The Boys are back in town!

    Thanks the boys!
    you are doing great. I learned a lot!
  • Jdw2911
    Good Book
    I read this book and it was long, lots of good and okay stuff, nothing great actually, but overall the boys are pretty good and fun for not trying very much or caring at all
  • stkinne20
    Weird bunch
    of dudes

    Fame
    might be overrated but I like some of the stories. I would love to hear you talk to Paul and Sasha, or whatever their real names are" from the podcast "community News with Paul and Sasha" on your show. Would love to hear how they built this show within a show to be one of the top rated podcasts.
  • scrotle
    This podcast is nonsense
    I can’t share this with anyone because it doesn’t make any sense but it’s the funniest best podcast available
  • TrucktheRuck
    Bestest
    This is the best podcast.
  • Lulu3636
    Tired Boys
    I’ve listened since The Realty Show Show. I’ve loved The Boys forever and I still do, but I’m finally admitting that they’ve lost their mojo. They’ve seemed tired and bored for a good while and it’s not getting any better. Back in the day when they did little improv stories they were so funny and adorable. I remember dying laughing when Hayes drove backwards in a race car and went to buy Peeps and Sean cooked and ate strong dragon eggs and climbed trees to find kites and fought with religion and got chased by a bear. Those were the good old HH days but I guess they’re gone forever. I’ll keep listening because I love them but I’m sad and I sure do miss the old boys.
  • LunaMindscapes
    New to pod…
    Hosts come off a little arrogant but give good insight on how to succeed in Hollywood
  • somedudeppf
    It’s good cheese
    Stinks just right
  • holyradio4
    Three Busy Debras 👍
    just the best, been binging it for the past three months + am sad I’m already almost out of episodes. pro version + masterclass are worth the money too. btw three busy debras ep was great :)
  • Rachel Bloor
    A little raunchy
    A little raunchy, but they seem to know the biz!!!!!
  • skalapdrums
    Better than the suicide prevention hotline!
    The perfect podcast to blare while i’m work to drown out the sadness of my stupid meaningless life! Thank god my children won’t grow up without a father now!
  • SarahShazzah
    Came to it a weird way, but love it
    I feel like I came to this the weirdest possible way since i guess he's not a full host? but I love the best little horror house in philly podcast and kevin bartelt was on there, and did a fun episode so I checked the show out, and it's super funny and surreal. These guys make me laugh like crazy! Kevin is awesome, wish he was on more.
  • neatweeds
    Love it!
    Just bizarre. So funny. Even if I have no idea what they’re talking about.
  • Evanh9
    Funny smart and nice
    A nice, smart, funny, very cool, pretty much complete awesome-sauce, wham bam thank you mam, nice, funny and sweet podcast. Kevin is the third boy.
  • i4u2c
    THE AWESOME PODCAST
    Good listens, good guests, good hosts, good engineers, one Chef Kevin ... priceless. Also, one greatest theme song for all time. You know those times when it's podcast listening period and there is so much podcasts about stuff and scams and sometimes murder -- a feel good beat drops with clap clap queueing the dulcet tones of animatronic female listing A-list (only your heart soars) for what is clearly written in the score pure awesomeness. Perfect tempo, pitches perfect, lands all the pauses, yes, still fangirl mad about theme song. Ran out of juice to describe talks so see for yourself! Tap subscribe to save time before you tap to listen in case you forget to tap later. Bye! P.S. If anyone knows what they're talking about and can clue me in send me a shoutout on wwwtap.com
  • RowboatLapdance
    This show?
    A good one!
  • j.cole.curtis
    Everyone needs this information
    The HH boys taught me how to do funky cool dances, and nobody doesn’t like funky cool dances.
