Hey guys, so before you listen to our podcast, we want to talk to you really quickly about a much more popular,

similar podcast that you've definitely heard.

Now the way most people found our show, Hollywood Handbook, is they were sort of led there because they were fans of Comedy Bang Bang.

Comedy Bang Bang was the very first earwolf podcast hosted by earwolf co-founder Scott Ockerman,

and they just put out their 500th episode and we're going to take some time before we start our show

to talk about that show that's already out that you've already heard.

If you didn't know Comedy Bang Bang, you should because you do know it because that's how you found us.

It's where comedians and celebrities like John Hammer, Jane Lynch meet absurd characters,

like a robot named Lil Buttonpus, the cake boss, or a duck.

Scott's put together an extra special episode for the 500th with a lot of guests that are much better than we ever get on our show.

And in a lot of cases, John Hamm is not doing this show. Let's say that. I'll just put that out there.

Straight up, even some of the people who are on that show who've done this show, they're bringing their A-game when they do Comedy Bang Bang.

And when they do ours, they're kind of like, what is this?

We're talking about Paul F. Tomkins. Look, he does so a lot of stuff.

He's good.

Lapkiss. Lapkiss did our show once. It was great.

We're not able to call in Lapkiss sort of on command.

They did 500 Comedy Bang. She's probably on 400 of them.

Nick Crowell has been on our show. That pretty much precludes us from ever asking him to do it again.

Literally was like, you have a half an hour.

He has to go do something else. He's tired.

And he was great.
