I have adored this woman for decades. She just gets better and better. I love everything she does and everything she's on. I dont think she will ever understand the impact she's had on people with mental health or even that she has saved lives. I ADORE HER.
Me too. I remember seeing her first comedy central presents special when I was like 10 or 11 and it made me realize how much I love stand-up. She is an absolute genius and I'm so glad she shares so much about her mental health experiences because it will definitely help a lot of people to hear that they're not alone in their mental illness.
I actually told her as much online once and she replied with the longest and loveliest message of thanks and encouragement right in the middle of Covid. She’s so special.
I'm very wary of non mental health professionals schilling products like this. Even if they actually work, they aren't a replacement for treatment, and it can be dangerous to mess around w brain chemistry stuff without guidance.
Handheld mics can be used to create a more energetic and dynamic sound. Consider the environment in which you will be using the microphone. Head mics are better for use in a loud environment, while handheld mics can be used in a variety of environments. Handheld microphones are commonly used in interview settings, whether it's for television, radio, or podcasting, ensuring clear and consistent audio quality. "Smaller" mics that can be attach can, unfortunately pick up your voice if you turn around and your back is to your audience/host. You do need to consider that because it’s only attached to your lapel or button up it has to be positioned properly so if you turn your head, your voice will be picked up clearly. Sorry... LOL... I was just teaching my students today on supporting an argument with evidence and if not... it is only a personal opinion/gut feeling without any convincing reasons. So... I found the verbiage above from three different sources to support my argument that hand held mics have certain advantages that you are not thinking about. My 8th grade students thank you!!!!! Peace.
So sad but true. While having more money to spend on mental health care is useful, it also doesn't necessarily mean that the care you get is better or more effective. It's often the things surrounding the care, ie: the luxuriousness of the facility, the food, activities available etc.
It's almost like it's a giant conspiracy to cover up for the methodical destruction of the western mind by its corrupted institutions with the side benefit of grifting some cash for its purveyors, with a small little sprinkle of actual usefulness and healing just to keep it juicy. Or something.
Absolutely. I remember one day during my mental health treatment thinking “Is this it? Is this all they have for me?” It was disheartening. Drugs and platitudes? 🤷🏼♂️
It's insanely true. I went to Silver Hill in New Canaan CT in 2010, it was $69,750 for a month and it was worthless. I went to 5 other places around the same price, same deal. I only started to get better off meds and with trauma therapy, specifically somatic-based trauma therapies. I also had undiagnosed autism and Lyme disease the whole time. I was misdiagnosed by every clinician I had for over 30 years
Maria makes me feel better about struggling with mental illness. She's a positive role model for being able to keep picking herself back up and achieve her goals.
@@Berighteousone everyone's med journey is different. I've heard her speak on this before and she said something to the affect of those side affects being more tolerable than the side effects of other meds she tried.
The fact that she fights stigma by joking about such taboo topics as _suicidal ideation & hospitalization_ gives my traumatized brain a tingly 🫧 feeling & giggles of catharsis 💕
She is so brilliant. I have loved Maria since I found her web series over a decade ago. And god I never realised how much I needed someone to publicly say how shitty mental health help tends to be. Thank you! It is so frustrating how often people recommend getting help as if that's just something that exists and is useful. It's very shitty help!
Glad to see Maria on my favorite podcasts. I’m a long time fan of all her work. I struggle with manic depression and she’s an inspiration to me. Grateful to her for being open and vulnerable and sharing her comedy and talent with the world!
I adore Maria! She is hilarious and it’s so comforting to hear her talk about mental issues in such a relatable way. I can’t wait to read her book and see her perform this fall!
@@muscatinemusk listened a lot in 2013, then never again because he is so full of himself. But I’ll watch anything with Maria in it, so he reeeeled me back in for this one 😆
@@sambrownsings'Relate to this. I'm watching this for Bamford and grateful to the interviewer for posting this. However, his style of interrupting and regaling and forced, pained expressions is too distracting.
I found out about her from Adventure Time. I really loved the performance behind some background episodic characters to the point I actively went looking for the voice actor. - Seen any apples? Ya'll ask a lot of dumb-butt questions. Almost like you're trying to solve something. - Hmm... Clean too. Almost like some **slams table** do-gooders.
Maria: I could listen to you all day. I've learned more about myself from you and your performances/interviews than I have from therapy, self help books, coursework.
This "interviewer" does not understand anything about Maria and stepped on her flow a million times. Very painful to see him derail her to make Hallmark card statements. Maria is a genius.
This is incredible! Maria Bamford is hands down my favorite comedian. Pete I love everything you do too buddy but I got to say Maria reaches me on a certain level. Thank you for this. I love this episode!.
If the supplements you promote did what they claim, it would be so amazing that it would be front page news on every news outlet, and it's not because those claims just aren't true. It's very disturbing that you are promoting these snake oils. I can't watch these podcasts.
Lol Holmes asked her in the beginning when her dad passed (shortly after she initially brought it up); then towards the end asked, 'wait, is your dad still alive?...' Eeek
very few comedians have the replay value that equals a musician. Maria's comedy is the kind of creativity that you want to listen to over and over again. She's a lot like a favorite movie, where every line is a fun catch phrase ...... Maria's replay value is amazing.
Yesss…I so agree. I never realized this, but it is so true! I am a big music nerd and so I know what you mean, and I cannot think of another comedian that I do that with (re-listen and re-listen), she is my fave and Rachel Feinstein is another fav.
Yes!!! Thank you, thank you for bringing us more of the great Bammer!! She's brilliant & gives me the best, most healing laughter, I love her so much, & yes I agree Alone is an amazing series definitely worth watching!!💖💯👏🏼✌🏼

love maria bamford, she absolutely slays, except when she shows up in something like that food network celebrity competition. she looked so lost and out of place and was voted out first. i felt so bad for her.
I am either way too high for this, or just high enough for it to reach me... but still too much. Holy fuck the predatory mental health story from Maria @ 17:00 !
Maria is such a gift, with all her raw vulnerability and just truths. She has described stuff I have also gone through just perfectly and then poof, I am not alone, I have Maria in my corner saying Yeah that happened to me too!
My sincere hope is that this amazing comedian will be someday be interviewed by someone who'll just let her speak WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. Comics express themselves in 'bits' and need to be permiited to get on a roll without the interviewer continually inserting themselves and breaking the flow. It isn't and shouldn't be about the host.
@@janicebelfiore856 Lol Janice, I'm not saying he's not a good guy, but I'm not crazy about his interviewing style. I'm sure his dogs love him, though. 😀
Thanks for validating all my struggles! Sometimes mental health issues are a whole nother degree! No one gets this! Even me a lot! It’s not our fault actually!
Pete, I very much appreciate you doing this with Maria specifically. You were both VERY forthcoming and brave and insightful and helpful and kind. It really was just a pleasure to watch. Meaningful to me on many levels.
Maria is incredible and amazingly insightful. Personally, she makes me feel heard and seen, and her comedy and words make me feel less alone. Thank you, Maria.
OK this isn’t meant to start anything by any means, but I do think Pete Holmes looks strikingly similar to Ron DeSantis in some ways at moments. Am I nuts? Yes
First time here and it was a fantastic episode (& I don’t do long form anything!) Sub button hit! I’m a huge fan of Maria, for all the reasons mentioned in the comments and more! I, like many here struggle and I find her work (aka existence) extremely helpful and inspiring. Also, as mentioned, I don’t normally partake in long podcasts, but I throughly enjoyed and listened to the entire thing! It did take me two days, a few dog walks/laundry folding/ cleaning moments etc to take it all in.m, but whatever and it’s just one day at a time ❤
Kaiser is the WORST for mental health. I was breaking down during pandemic and they essentially refused to help me. One hour of therapy a month or in-patient, 6 hours a day for 3-weeks. No regular talk therapy. No offer. Told me I didn't need it. What? Lol
Pete, are you ever making another series? I think you should team up with Alia Shawcat. And Tony Hale. And Bobby. Idk. A series about a podcast? The conflict is with the Jake&Logan paul type of guys? Chad & JT would be great for that. Jeff Goldblum as the Rogan type? Anyways loved this episode and luv u!
Wait, ha, I actually really enjoy Jon Kabat-Zinn as a complex trauma survivor. He teaches *actual* mindfulness by way of being grounded - not CBT nonsense or body/breath awareness only. Mindfulness got a bad rap (mostly rightly so) once it was co-opted by people who uprooted it from what it actually is and how it can be helpful with MH. Sigh
I love every drug you're on, Maria. You're a pharmaceutical catalyst producing the byproduct of laughter. I'm currently on 50mg of your current, non- FDA approved stand-up routines.
Love your comedy Pete, but just couldn't get beyond the 5 min advert for homeopathic drugs. It makes me sad you help peddle that stuff & sadder if you really use & believe in it.

Hello.... After living 58 years I can honestly say that Maria Bamford is the FUNNEST person I can imagine being around. (and I am not schizoprenic)
I'm very wary of non mental health professionals schilling products like this. Even if they actually work, they aren't a replacement for treatment, and it can be dangerous to mess around w brain chemistry stuff without guidance.

When Maria said it doesn’t matter how much money you throw at it mental health care will disappoint you, I was liberated. What a great conversation!

Maria is easily one of the funniest people ever imo
Always makes the list of my favorite comics of all time!
Underrated, too. A lot of her material seems to go over people's heads who write her act off as "just silly voices".
I love Maria. We have very different lives but have so much in common. One of those things is a love of Duluth.
Maybe the funniest comedian ever
I first saw her in the Comedians of Comedy documentary. Been a fan ever since 😭
Maria makes me feel better about struggling with mental illness. She's a positive role model for being able to keep picking herself back up and achieve her goals.
Hope you're doing well!!
Her hands and arms and legs shake a lot due to her mental health meds I think I would adjust those if I were her

@BoojeeRedneck absolutely. It's such a relief to be among others who understand and who can joke about having a trauma response or whatever.
She is so brilliant. I have loved Maria since I found her web series over a decade ago.

LET HER SPEAK FFS
"Never be mindful during your depression." - This is a Golden Teaching! Thanks Maria!
Love Maria Bamford, but I can't watch her getting rudely interrupted like this.
Glad to see Maria on my favorite podcasts. I’m a long time fan of all her work. I struggle with manic depression and she’s an inspiration to me. Grateful to her for being open and vulnerable and sharing her comedy and talent with the world!
Hope you're doing well with that ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Never grabbed my airpods faster. And i’m at a kids trampoline park lol.

Yes. At the beginning he ran over her mention of her father's death.
He's just a boy
This is incredible! Maria Bamford is hands down my favorite comedian. Pete I love everything you do too buddy but I got to say Maria reaches me on a certain level. Thank you for this. I love this episode!.

Not a fan of the snakeoil ads. Just saying. Maybe go with other scams like the ones selling a square foot of a forest.
Maria is one of the GOATs
jfc. She's breathtakingly funny.
Maria's sweater has a life of its own.

Her hands shakes do to her mental health meds. Not Parkinsons .
"Is your dad alive?" Really? A call back from last week's Bill Lawrence episode? hahaha!! omfg.
I think I apologize too much to my children. I'm not sure. I know it's a lot! I just love these two, great conversation!
She's fantastic. The older she gets, the more I love her.
You should do a Batman and Maria, like Prometheus and Bob.

I can totally relate to the apologizing playing tennis!! I've done this for YEARS (and continue to do it)!!
Strongly disagree with Maria about her not being a good time.
I love every drug you're on, Maria. You're a pharmaceutical catalyst producing the byproduct of laughter. I'm currently on 50mg of your current, non- FDA approved stand-up routines.
5:26 you are welcome..
The irony of fucking up the word "precision" in the ad read.
So golden showers will give me oxytocin?
Pete’s impression of Jordan from Alone was very good
I just BURST into laughter at the “sorry..sorry” playing tennis hahahah! Like wow. I’ve definitely done that playing a sport
Thanks, Pete
Dude too many ads
I feel that waiter energy/vibe
Love your comedy Pete, but just couldn't get beyond the 5 min advert for homeopathic drugs. It makes me sad you help peddle that stuff & sadder if you really use & believe in it.
