PETE HOLMES!
/r/peteholmes
Big fan of his stand up podcast and the show crashing. Somehow missed the Pete Holmes show existing. Anyone know how to watch? Or have them stored on a google drive? I saw online Plex had it but it doesn't anymore.
I've been trying to find a web series that Holmes and Matthew McCarthy made, where Pete's a husband and father of 7-8 children. They are devoutly Christian, which is why they have so many chidkren. It's in "The Office" style mockumentary format. McCarthy plays a friend/neighbor who secretly wants the wife to marry him instead.
No trace of it on the web any more!
My name's Mike and my friend's name is Mike and we're constantly yelling this at each other. I've been looking for an uncensored version of this sketch for a while, but with zero luck. Anyone know where I might find it?
I'm wondering which one would be good to read first. Thanks!
I want to go to Pete's show in Denver but have no friends interested. Is there any solo people that are big fans going, we could go together or form a group.
Does anyone know which podcast episode(s) Pete talks about the poem they read at his wedding with Val?
As the title says, I got to see Pete Holmes last night at Largo in LA last night and it was absolutely hilarious! It was the hardest I’ve laughed in years, even some of his jokes that were still being workshopped.
He brought out a few guests, including a blonde female comedian with autism who had me in stitches the entire time. Unfortunately I missed her name, but would love to see more sets from her. I can’t seem to find her name though!
Does anybody know who this might be? Not sure if she regularly works with him, so hoping somebody here might have her name!
Edit: Lara Beitz - thanks for the help!
It’s in one of the YMIW episodes, Pete talks about an Irish writer with a joke about a genie that grants subconscious wishes. And how most people would just vanish because they secretly desire annihilation.
It’s the bit about atheists v believers, on an airplane that’s crashing. The atheist says,”This is as meaningless as it all was” and the believer says, “I’M GOING HOME!” I’m trying to find that bit on his albums on Apple Music. I thought it was on “Nice Try the Devil”
Does anyone have a link to the ad Pete did for Magic Mind?
Pete buddy you’ve got the longest intros in town.
Just saw the new superbowl commercial and I don’t think it was Pete’s voice.
Hey all, if anyone can help. The premise of the bit was Pete Holmes was standing in line waiting to get on a plane. He over hears a mother and younger daughter in front of him talking about not taking liquids on a plane or it has to be a certain amount in ounces. Holmes then tries to make a joke about how he is carrying more liquid than that in his bladder? And the mother and daughter get all weirded out.
Not sure if I have it right, but it was a hilarious bit, if anyone can help me find it, I would be so grateful🙏
I am actually upset about this. I’ve really appreciated his openness and honesty. His Pete’s picks “you can trust me because I actually use this stuff”.
“Liquid death isn’t a sponsor anymore so I can finally be honest about the fact I don’t like it”.
I can’t listen to him anymore. I can’t see him as anything other than a shill now.
Well it DOES say it right there.
I have such a parasocial relationship with this man it’s like I saw a friend in a movie.
Where can I find his joke about being into japanese dudes bowling cum cats lmfao
It was maybe from 2019ish and the guest described a breathtaking magic trick that happened when someone came to his door. It was one of my fav episodes but can’t remember the guy’s name.
I don’t mean to sound judgemental or ugly and I’m sure it’s in my head but I’m listening to the new podcast episode and I needed to vent a little. I’m sure I’m projecting because I’m feeling pretty icky here lately so I feel bad saying this, but I wonder if anyone else will get the same impression. Sweetly Petey is always there for me in dark times and his podcast helps lift me out of it so I guess I feel a little protective. It’s been kinda a hard listen because I feel like he is being snippy and purposefully disagreeable and dismissive in this interview. It’s hurting my heart and I keep yellin “geez! Be nice!” Perhaps I’m just unfamiliar with his tone and reading him wrong. Still look forward to finishing the episode and I’m sure he is brilliant and I’ll learn from him, but gotdang! Just sound like an angsty curmudgeon and I wanna shake him! If anyone reads this, thanks for bearing with me:) have a wonderful day!
I’ve only just started getting into Nate’s stuff, but have been listening to YMIW since 2013. Super interesting to listen to this now with Nate’s success!
Notable tidbits:
They talk about their come up together in Chicago, Nate talks about Pete being someone who was always slightly ahead and helped open doors for Nate.
Nate talks about telling his manager he wants enough success to “just not hate his friends.”
Pete says he would buy stock in Nate.
Toward the end, Nate reveals he’s working on a pilot with Jimmy Fallon.
They talk about how crazy famous Aziz is.
Kumail had just gotten a show with HBO
GO WATCH IT!
And it’s Josh!!!! Didn’t even know they knew each other. I LOVE impersonations, and Josh is a KING.
