PETE HOLMES is a comic with a lot on his mind, including a spiritual quest to find a connection with the divine that has taken him on all sorts of interesting paths. He's also funny as hell, of course, and he sat in with host Carl Kozlowski and guest hosts Kevin Corcoran and Adam Gropman to discuss his new memoir "Comedy Sex God" and his just-ended terrific HBO sitcom "Crashing", and of course, the meaning of life and the universe. Plus, they discuss the latest in the NXVIM sex cult trial and how cult leaders manage to have such game over women, and explore the terrifying wonders of jeados and janties.Original Broadcast Date: 5/11/19

In this episode we get recommendations for two great books, plus a movie you might have missed, and a book that hasn’t even been released yet. We start our show with a quick discussion of deep fried hamburgers and other delicious, wacky food, with producer Gary Lucy, then quickly jump into a discussion of the film “Janeane From Des Moines”, which I loved and highly recommend. Next, we talk to writer/comedian Adam Gropman about the terrific one person show “A Carlin Home Companion” by Kelly Carlin, which we both enjoyed immensely and will soon be released as a book. Then, we get to the books, and we’ve got two great ones, “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble” by Zac Bissonnette, a fascinating non-fiction account of the craze that swept the nation and the insane financial bubble that formed within the collectors market. Finally, we discuss a really interesting work of modern fiction, “Then We Came To The End” by Joshua Ferris, a highly acclaimed debut novel that tells a fairly common story in an very uncommon style.
