Summary

Comedian Pete Holmes (I Am Not For Everyone) joins Rainn Wilson LIVE to dive into the nature of God, spiritual awakening through psychedelics, and why ego isn’t the enemy...it might even be divine. They unpack the parable of the Prodigal Son, discuss mystical consciousness and atheism, and reflect on comedy’s role in revealing truth. Plus, Pete shares early jokes, voice memo rage, and his unique way of merging stand-up with sacred insight.
