Info about Clemdawg’s new podcast, coming out on Monday!

The Hollywood Handbook Boys, Over 500 Episodes Deep

“I still get a panic attack when somebody says, ‘What’s your show about?’”

A fun interview with The Boys!! A little insight into the Ben Stiller episode and their move to Headgum, and Clemdawg also teases a new podcast he's working on related to the writers strike.

"I am always baffled by this. Your show isn’t that hard to explain: It’s about guys pretending to be smart and being stupid and sarcastic about Hollywood with their guests in the middle of it. It’s not like I’m just “on your level” and others aren’t. This is not my “special show.” It is just constantly hilarious. Yet I feel like that gets lost a lot of the time, because there are so many gags about it constantly failing or not having a good listenership. H.D.: Well, your outlet called us “deeply alienating,” and we put it on a T-shirt."

Fresh off of kicking The Birthday Boys’ asses in a push-up contest on the Doughboys Doughathon (somewhere around the 20 hour mark), Clemdawg’s in Men’s Health talking about his sobriety!

Bang Rodgman hinted at a third season of Hollywood Masterclass on today’s Shadow Wolves episode of Action Boyz so it looks like all of our whining at Stitcher on twitter worked. Guess it pays to be the most annoying fans on the internet.

Clip Requests

I’m still happy to do clip requests (went back to work for two weeks but got so fed up with how the company was handling things that I quit so now I’m officially unemployed) but I’ve been getting a number of vague, anonymous requests lately. Please provide as much information as you can, such as episode number/date or guest and I’ll do what I can to get the clip for you. The Boys have over 300 episodes and my memory is failing because of the unstoppable march of time so I just need a little help.
