Interview begins @ 6:04 In this episode, comedian Pete Holmes meets theologian and former AC/DC road manager, Barry Taylor, for the first time, despite Pete having referenced a profound quote from Barry in his work for nearly a decade. The conversation kicks off with Pete diving into Barry's storied history with rock & roll, setting the stage for a deeper exploration into how both comedy and rock music act as catalysts for transformation, challenging societal norms and speaking truth to power during critical times. Together, they discuss the delicate dance between the sacred and the profane and how art masterfully navigates the lines of culture, taboo, transgression, and spirituality. As the digital age reshapes our world, creating divisions and highlighting polarization, Barry points out the unique role of the arts in cutting through these dynamics. Throughout the episode, the influence of Richard Rohr is evident, as all participants share their personal connections to his teachings and reflect on spiritual practice as an essential tool to combat the ego's pull.

Ever wanted to know who Rick’s female comedy counterpart is? Well, she’s on the balcony today! It's phenomenal comedian, Beth Stelling. Days before releasing her hour-long special on HBO Max, “Girl Daddy”, she climbed over to the balcony to chat with Rick about all comedy and business. They naturally slip into some mustache bits and we get to know Beth and her process from filming her first special. Rick reveals his female body hair gripe and Beth details her 4 comedy-career rules, none of which she still keeps. The two discuss their issues with repeating jokes and why it’s been a struggle for them both. Is their struggle of needing to continuously write in fact part of their... "genius?" Beth battles feelings about self promotion whilst being extremely introspective. She talks about performing on the road with Sarah Silverman and gives her take on Bill Burr’s story about being groped by a female comedian, and the double standards of that reversed behavior being common place for a female comedian.

The following year, Gary was invited to join Dane Cook’s “Tourgasm" Tour, and was also featured in the series on HBO.

Today's episode is a little different from our usual episode as it's a re-release of an old 2014 episode with comedian, Pete Holmes. Normally I wouldn't be a fan of re-releasing an old episode. But with some of the new changes going on with the podcast, going forward I am only going to be keeping the most recent 50 episodes available for download. This chat with Pete was a great talk and he gave some great advice in the episode that I didn't want new listeners to miss out on. I clearly had no idea what I was doing on this episode and the podcast has come a long way, but Pete's advice, lessons learned in comedy, and chat about Late Night TV is worth the listen. Pete originally came on the podcast in 2014 as Episode 15 to promote his TBS late night show, "The Pete Holmes Show". Of course since this episode Pete has gone on to make the incredible HBO series "Crashing", and recently released his book, "Comedy Sex God". Pete is also the host of the long running comedy podcast, "You Made It Weird", and has several comedy specials available through HBO and Comedy Central. Hopefully we will have Pete back on the podcast in a future episode. Before we get to Pete, I also talked about 31 Days of Horror that started TODAY and some of the locations I'll be going to this month. I'm excited to be doing 31 Days of Horror again and I can't wait for you guys to see the new 1 minute videos. Enjoy this re-release! All-new episode next week.
This week's guest is the comedian, actor, and author Pete Holmes. If you listen to this show, odds are you know who Pete Holmes is. Pete is known for his stand-up, The Pete Holmes Show, HBO's Crashing, and most recently his new book Comedy Sex God. In this conversation, we talk about evangelicalism, sex and purity culture, Christian college, rapture (not the 'take me, Jesus' kind - the enrapturing kind), and developing a broader, more open spirituality. Follow Pete on Twitter & Instagram, and listen to his podcast, You Made It Weird. Follow Blake on Twitter, and follow the show on Instagram & Twitter. This episode was produced by Jake Lewis.

Anime may have been a much bigger subject than we bargained for, we admit it. There are so many different aspects and facets to anime! But a lot of them are really boring, unoriginal, and often sexist. Anime is also really weird but we can't pretend that's a reason to dislike it. Hee-hee. Nate Fernald really wanted to talk about it with us today! Nate Fernald is a writer and buddy of ours who is known for The Pete Holmes Show, Six Degrees of Everything, and for his role as comedian Bart Folding on Louie! If you ever hear of him doing standup in your area, I highly recommend going to see him. He's a very funny dude.

Susan Messing is an improv deity, and she was nice enough to come on the show and tackle some subjects she cannot stop reading about fueled by anger and curiosity. We focus more on the Scientology side of things than anything else, but the whole thing is fascinating and hilarious just like Susan. She's a big advocate of practicing what you preach when it comes to being improv teacher, so it makes a lot of sense that her frustrations with the topic lie mostly with misinformation and mistreatment of followers. Look forward to a couple of great cameos from Michael McCarthy, Susan's husband, to whom she got engaged while I was in her class at Annoyance. I'm pretty sure I said "bullshit" when she told us she got engaged since the last class. Don't call bullshit on Susan Messing, friends. Notes: Susan's TEDx talk on Braving the Unknown Tony Ortega's piece in the Village Voice on "The Hole" as well as a comprehensive What is Scientology? article The 1991 Time Magazine cover story The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power Mark Headley's Blown for Good Leah Remini's departure from the church The death of Lisa McPherson Dan Telfer's Best Dinosaur bit on The Pete Holmes Show

Nate joins Chip to talk about writing for The Pete Holmes Show. He shares his infamous story of quitting a hated day job, and how it helped him focus on his goals with standup and writing. It worked!

Hello! This ain't your granddaddy's late night talk show! Your grandmother was a big fan of it though... I discuss: The Pete Holmes Show.
On today's show I talk to actor and comedian John Ennis. John grew up in Boston and attended Emerson College, where he was in a sketch group with David Cross and Laura Kightlinger. He continued to work with David and became one of the ensemble actors on the incredible and influential sketch program Mr. Show. Since then, John has been in a number of awesome projects from Malcolm in the Middle to Studio 60 to Arrested Development, and besides the films and videos he acts in regularly, he produces two different live monthly sketch shows in LA.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter, and watch "The Pete Holmes Show" on TBS after "Conan"!
On today's show I talk to comedian Rich Fulcher. Originally on the path to become a lawyer, Rich began taking improv classes at Second City, and soon ditched his juridical goals in favor of comedy. A improv show he created called "Modern Problems in Science" took him to the UK, where he was part of some of the best comedy of the last decade, including The Mighty Boosh and his sketch show with Matt Berry Snuff Box. He's also written an amazing book called Tiny Acts of Rebellion and appeared on a ton of great US programs like Jon Benjamin Has a Van and Drunk History.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter, and watch "The Pete Holmes Show" on TBS after "Conan"!
On today's show, I talk to Matt Gourley, Jeremy Carter and Mark McConville who collectively make up the creators and stars of the brilliant Superego Podcast.

Mark was featured in early episodes of the show, and then soon became a full-time member. Since those early days, the show has had three amazing seasons and boasts an impressive array of guest stars including Paul F. Tompkins, Jen Kirkman and Patton Oswalt.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter, and come see a live taping of The Pete Holmes Show!
