You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes
Pete Holmes
SummaryJoin comedian Pete Holmes for a long-form, deeply human exploration of what it actually means to be alive. On You Made It Weird, Pete sits down with a diverse roster of guests—ranging from fellow stand-up icons and writers to spiritual teachers and historians—to peel back the layers of the human experience. Whether he is dissecting the intricacies of the comedy craft with veteran performers or diving into the mysteries of consciousness and non-duality, the conversations are consistently marked by a rare blend of sharp humor, intellectual curiosity, and radical vulnerability. A standout feature of the show is the recurring We Made It Weird segment, where Pete and his wife, Valerie, engage in candid, free-flowing check-ins that feel like a seat at the dinner table. These episodes, alongside his interviews, touch on the universal struggle to balance the professional masks we wear with our authentic, messy inner lives. Together, they navigate the complexities of modern relationships, the bizarre impact of technology on our social dynamics, and the constant, often hilarious, evolution of identity as we age. With his signature mix of playful tangents and soulful inquiry, Pete creates a space where nothing is too weird to discuss. It is a show for anyone who values honest connection and enjoys finding the profound beauty hidden within our most awkward, relatable, and human moments.
