About this episode

Pete Holmes returns for a deep discussion on comedy, anxiety, and the impact of social media.

Pete Holmes is back and this one somehow turns into a full-blown therapy session about comedy, anxiety, priming, Instagram, sobriety, and why your brain is probably being hijacked by everything you scroll past. We also talk Shane Gillis, Chelsea Handler, bad press, and Pete’s special Silly Silly Fun Boy — which is honestly phenomenal.
