  • Great vibes here!

    I love how vulnerable and open Pete and Val get and the interviews always take you somewhere you weren’t expecting. Happy long time listener tho I do miss Val’s poems accompanied by Gymnopédie No. 1…

    maybe they will make a return soon? 🙏

  • Iron and Whine

    Pete. Shut. The F”*k. Up. Or take a breath. Or have a snack. Or lay off the cheeb. Or pop a Xanax. Let a brutha talk. We already know you’re brilliant. Being annoying doesn’t accentuate that. Smooch.

  • Always amazing

    I’ve been listening for over 10 years now. Love it! The Joe Dispenza episode brought me back into a more frequent listening pattern. I love the mix of spirituality and humor, always the best! Thanks Pete!

  • He talked about himself

    He has Margo Price on. Then all he did was talk about himself.

    I suffered through 30 some minutes thinking it was gonna get better. It just got worse.

    Margo wrote a song about the Pete’s of the world - About to Find Out.

    “Well, I've had about enough of your two-cent words

    And the way you're running your mouth

    No, you haven't got a clue, or another thing to do

    Except to take another picture of yourself”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kate Bowler
Q: How do you distinguish joy from happiness in the context of hardship?
Joy is a deeper, more durable sense of belonging and connection that can endure through suffering, whereas happiness often relies on favorable circumstances and external rewards.
Dan Mintz
Q: What's your take on the tension between writing for TV and performing live?
Mintz explained that live performance requires on‑the‑spot crowd sense and a disciplined approach to timing, while TV writing benefits from tight scripting and careful pacing, with improv sometimes shaping the final product after writers see audience reactions.
Dan Mintz
Q: How did the Tina transformation on Bob's Burgers come about, and what did that moment mean for you?
The decision to test Tina as a girl was stressful but ultimately pivotal; it kept the character alive and proved to be a turning point for the show, validating the bold creative risk.
Dan Mintz
Q: What was it like when you started performing comedy in unfavorable conditions in Boston and Cambridge?
Mintz described feeling intimidated yet drawn to the spotlight, noting that early sets were nerve‑racking but also energizing, and that the anxiety eventually fed his drive to improve and craft structured bits.
Eugene Mirman Returns
Q: Can you tell me the time in your life you laughed harder than you've ever laughed in your life?
He cites moments with friends and family, and specific funny interactions, highlighting that the best laughs often come from warmth, shared history, and genuine connection rather than pure setup-punchline mechanics.
