Welcome back to Working It Out. Today we are re-earing our episode with the great Pete

Holmes. We've had Pete Holmes on twice before. This is the second time we've had him on.

There's a year ago, such a blast. Whenever we have him on the show, people always say,

have him on more. He's so fundamentally the perfect working it out guest. He's very

collaborative. He's an improviser and a stand-up comedian. He's an author. He wrote a book called

Comedy Sex God, which is fantastic. He came to the opening night of my show in Los Angeles,

which meant the world to me. We have this great discussion today on the podcast of when the book

that my wife Jenny and I wrote, which was called The New One, came out about a year ago. And hopefully

we're going to have Pete on for a third time very soon. Pete is just a riot. He's a great

comedian. If you're able to see him live, absolutely do it. I just finished up in Los Angeles and I'm

heading to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toronto, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit, Nashville,

Mesa, Arizona, and Salt Lake City. There's an announcement coming for New Yorkers very soon. I think, I hope.

I think so. I think so. But we've had a great time in Los Angeles. The old man and the pool has

really come alive in a way that is so exciting. And thanks for coming along on the journey. Enjoy my

conversation with the great Pete Holmes. All right, Pete. So when you wrote Comedy Sex God,

your book, which is now on paperback. It's not on paperback. Oh, is it not? Yeah, no, I don't know

how that works. When a book does well, like really well, it goes to paperback. So congratulations on

your paperback, which you think would be the opposite. It's like a book does really well. And they're like,

let's put a hard cover on this gym. But they're like, oh, this book's so good. Let's make it easier to

throw away. Let's make it so it doesn't survive a day at the pool. No, no water damage for this one.

I want it folded up in the back pocket of a rebellious kid in the 80s, but he's also pretty smart.

I have to say, I enjoy reading a book on a Kindle, but I, but I also think sometimes I do think
