Summary

Pete Holmes wants to rearrange the molecular structure of your brain. NOT through science. He wants to do it through comedy. And masturbation jokes. "When my wife left me," he said, "I realized that comedy is noble. People are hurting and it's a good thing to do. I know I'm being a little bit high-hoped about stand-up, but good comedy can alchemize pain into pleasure. And I'm getting emotional, but that's f***ing beautiful." Don't let these quotes fool you, though. This episode is as hilarious as it is philosophical. And if you like that, also check out Pete's new book "Comedy Sex God." I write about all my podcasts!
