I’ve been a fan since the start but increasingly, this is just a pod for the hosts to tell us who they are. This is mostly shallow, now-predicable commentary, obnoxious humor and “insider” signaling. Put it all together and it’s tough to even get through 10 minutes of an episode anymore. Think of the listener, not your IYKYK image crafting.

White Dinks for Harris. Keep looking in those gym mirrors at your cool tatts…

The Primal Scream ep is spectacular, love those boys.

i have listened to every episode.

Amazing podcast with witty banter & honest humor. I always look forward to a new episode. Chris & Jason are extremely funny, & they always put me on to a bunch of cool stuff.

These guys are the worst. I looked up what they look like and they’re hideously ugly too. Imagine being bald

Chris is a real jerk to Jason lately. It’s hard to listen

TJ and Chris are on the highest comedy gear. So many spit take lols. They make the punishing production schedule look so easy. Not easy. I respect what HLG has grown, and look forward to years and years of jokes about bad rappers and Gen-Z growing up. Bravo boys.

The comments here are almost as funny as the pod. Look, the entire thing is an IYKYK situation. Not for everyone.

You’re jealous of how funny and successful these men are! They deserve it!

my favorite podcast!!!!!

I love this podcast so much. I listen to it every day. I’ve heard every episode multiple times. I recommend it to everyone.

Hypebeasts who think they’re self aware and ironic about it but actually they’re just hypebeasts. And that’s ok ❤️

Listened to the Amen Dunes episode and learned absolutely nothing about the musician due to the “insider” hosts trying to be chummy with him and laughing at one another. At least two people were laughing because sitting through this was brutal. They seemingly think they are more interesting than the guest. Not recommended.

A masterclass in how not to interview. Excited to listen to the Lenderman interview but had to turn it off.

I hate almost every one of their takes, but love the podcast. The banter and random knowledge is aspirational

Favorite bits when Jason makes Chris laugh

I died

The comfort in How Long Gone is that we can enjoy their posh musings and celebrity anecdotes without envy. They are cool but not that cool, smart but not that smart. They are 40 and podcast about Gen Z after all. We can reach them, and even pass them. We have time.

bring on Wesley snipes

Great guests (especially musicians). DJ guy is funny, foodie guy reminds me of high school jock mentality— might be a better fit for a fancy restaurant pod— very L.A. in priorities. Give them props that they don’t ask the standard interview questions and get the guests to go into new places. Will be listening for the future, quality guests.

Have listened to a few episodes and don’t understand why they continuously need to point out people’s race when it’s a person or color. It’s ok to just refer to someone as “his gf” instead of “his *Asian* gf”. Weird behavior.

Long time, first time: Jonathan Rado episode is an instant classic. What a fun and DTE (down to earth) bud, ready to riff, lots of laughs.

I listened to the episode with Allison Bornstein. They’re completely rude, offensive, and repulsive in their language and humor. I don’t find them funny at all. Rather than a playful tease, they were more like bullies while picking out details about Allison. I only listened for Allison because she is a reputable and respected stylist. However, the way these guys (basically teenage boys) talk and the context is so repulsive and cringey. I don’t see how they would have any success with this podcast. Definitely for a niche market.

lol this nathan lane interview is crazy….howd u not know he was on to do press/there was an interim agreement. dum and awkward and a missed opportunity

Chris and Jason are the duo I never asked for. I feel too poor to listen sometimes, sure, but the dialogue is hilarious and it’s the adrenaline I need to start my day. They give their unapologetic opinions about the culture and I often ask myself: WWJCD?

The most professional hi fidelity audio and sound engineering on any pod, ever.

A worse Hollywood Handbook

a friend is an artist/ tax preparator, half the year he works in the studio and travels

I was too afraid to text you.

Love the banter between these two gentlemen

It's Chris

Amusing mix of fashion, culture, fitness, 90’s punk ethos, drugs, and sobriety commentary. Enviable rapport, wit, and keeps my 42 year old finger age-appropriately on the pulse — bang on target market if you were a teen in the 90’s. There’s more depth than meets the eye, but most of the time it’s just clever fun.

get a voice coach—y’all sound crazy

Really liked this podcast but this ep was the second time they purposely misgendered someone. it seems like they're more concerned about not seeming too "woke" than they are about being blatantly transphobic.

People who don’t like this podcast are no fun at parties

Wild pod. Balding hipster and Bojack Horseman ramble on about nothing. It’s like a competition to see who’s the bigger douche.

Thanks Mr. Jason

Great podcast.

🏄‍♂️

The hosts, or at least one, truly believe they somewhat live in reality and that’s pretty insane. Just two pedantic white men who non-ironically say things like “Gwenyth Paltrow worked hard her whole life.” Maybe more egregiously, they remark Kaia Gerber is someone both men and women agree is one of the most beautiful women around. Do they know non-white people exist and have opinions outside of the 12 people in entertainment that they know? No. I’m just tired of this washed perspective. Not interesting at all.

I've listened to a few episodes and it's still unclear what level of self-awareness/satire there is to this show.

I’m a gay guy who can rarely stomach podcasts where friends just “talk” and share their opinions about “the culture” - yet I find these dudes hilarious and they’ve somehow captivated me. It’s a feeling similar to when my therapist had to schedule one of our sessions last-minute in the basement of Coming Soon in Chinatown years ago: “this guy gets me”. What’s better, I just moved to LA from NYC so I’m learning a lot from this podcast, like which suburban Whole Foods locations are worth the drive, or who had dinner at Horses last night. It also gives me a sense of nostalgia for running around NYC in my 20s as a Chris to a Jason, of sorts.

I like the bald grumpy one

I have a few episodes a try but it was so boring 😭. Also stop talking about how attracted you guys are to young girls.

I don’t think you were respectful to Michael Hainey, although he was incredibly respectful to you. There’s a lesson there. Also, how do you not know the movie “The King of Comedy”, starring the cultural icon Sandra Bernhard?

Enjoy Chris and Jason’s dialogue they witty and sophisticated yet still relatable with hints of vulnerability.
