phenomenal. truly. four comics that deliver from the intellect rather than the painful needy side of comedy, have one of the most present, human, and humane conversation I've heard, and, peppered with killer punch lines and callbacks.
This was genuinely something special. Jimmy Carr is always hysterical, but in this he shows some humanity, and a philosophical depth that I never would have expected from him.
This summer makes 10 years of me being a weirdo. Used to listen to this podcast while stocking the fridge at my shitty night job, now I listen while at a different shitty night job. Pete always comes through with quality guests and conversations. Much love!
Gosh, I've been waiting for a podcast with Jimmy Carr. I guess just now it finally made our way to the algo feed. This was great. Loved the part about changing one's mind every so often.
This is why I love comedy. Most of the comedians are such interesting, intelligent folks. I often wonder how many people understand the depth behind all the dick jokes. I’m a musician with comedian leaning interests, and I feel like much of what Jimmy says pertains to my field as well, and the comedic interest is born of intelligent parents, one of whom is bipolar and mean. She terrorized our household, so my sister took care of watching out for us, and my role became the energy bringer. I was always trying to find a way to turn awkward/painful/scary moments into laughter. That’s how I’ve always dealt with it, especially when I’m feeling anxious or troubled. Laughter was our medicine, and I was the house pharmacist. Jimmy is so great. I’m thrilled to have stumbled across this podcast. Thanks for the gem, gents.
Probably one of the best episodes in 5 years. You two really should work together. It's like a modern odd couple. Cool hip guy Crunchy spiritual guy. Perfect combo
Only podcast I'll ever listen to. Pete's content brings me joy, peace of mind and always helps me vent some deep rooted thoughts. Carr is a perfect guest and such a wonderful combination of magnanimity and just shin kicking wit!
These four confirms national stereotypes so hard; The Englishman is quoting Leonardo da Vinci and the three Americans are grasping at straws. We get it, "kitchen".
Any info on the documentary that Pete says he watches each year... he refers to it as "Happiness", but not finding that; there is one called "Happy", but doesn't seem to be it... he talked about flow and line cooks, which is the part that caught my attention... any info to find it is appreciated.
I always suspected that Jimmy Carr was a formidable speaker , because of the rhythm and cadence of his comedy, and I'm glad that I'm right, he could have been a preacher or motivational speaker
Honestly, four people is too many for a podcast. Pete interrupts enough on his own, he doesn't need co-hosts. Hope Jimmy goes on the podcast again one day with just Pete.
Faith is the voluntary act of believing in something, regardless of any evidence for or against it. Science makes no statement without evidence, you can't have "faith" in science.
I grew up somewhat spiritual as an athiest before going militant athiest n calming to agnostic, but, immediate family were "athiest" with spirituality. Basically hating organised religion but needing a way to cope with death n suffering creates that
@@drumboarder1 interesting! I'm doing ok just accepting I'm no more interesting to eternity than anything else, but I'm important to the people around me, and finding ways to improve their ride and enjoying my own ride is still pretty nice. Don't waste it 👌
23:56 I sometimes wonder if the Greek gods were just massive celebrities in their time. The evidence doesn't support that, but it's an amusing thought.
Really funny. Not trying to be mean but I think it would have been better without the guys on the right trying to get bits in or co-sign, most of the time it just kills the flow. I'm happy to see the second one is just Pete and Jimmy
Felt like the "co-hosts" were like children at the table holding back the adult conversation, telling stories that lead nowhere and making bad jokes. Really hope we get a 1on1 on the sofa
Big fan of everything and everyone here, but not knowing what an isotope is off the top of your head doesn't make religion any more true. "I don't know" is a huge part of science and it doesn't make any religious claim. That sentence meant essentially nothing.
Ikr. That put me off. I looked up what that is and went into a rabbit hole about how some celebs low-key endorse unproven products over normal treatment to help with mental illness. Ew.
Holy heck, about 10 years ago I abandoned a script about two jewish clones who were aspiring comedians but kept stepping on everyone's punch lines because I thought no one would ever find characters like that believable... What a fool I was.
The whole 10,000 hours thing is repeatedly constantly through this podcast but it's actually nonsense. It's nothing to do with 10,000 hours. Spending a lot of time on something is inherently a per-requisite to getting good at something, but it's nothing to do with specifically 10,000 hours (the amount of time required is relative to both the complexity of the task and how competitive it is with others to excel and there are many additional causal factors including things that are beyond your control such as genetic traits and opportunity (luck). Most of us could spend our entire lives. Not 10,000 hours, 100,000 hours or more pushing to become an astronaut but the statistical probability of that actually happening is very low. This is because the competition is extremely high and the number of people who are actually sent to space is very low. Therefore, if opportunity (luck) only seems as though it's a small factor, it will become the strongest predictive factor when every candidate has spent their 10,000 hours.
Who ever that guy was completely missed the point about Michael Jordan, imagine being as old as he is and speaking for a living not being able to have a conversation, pathetic
It's a different kind of the same type of atom. Meaning that it has a different number of neutrons but the same number of protons. I thought he meant that people don't know why things can have different chemical properties when they are so similar and that is still mysterious. But, you 1-upped him with your ignorance and was like "yeah...what is an isotope?". Either way I get it. Jimmy is so known for a quick set-up and move on, so it was interesting to hear him slowly build a premise. He kind of seemed a little coked up. Maybe he's just in a hurry.
I hope these people are joking about not knowing comedy legends the sklar brothers are and when it comes to comedy the more the better you can't have to many funny people in a great conversation Oh and Jimmy Carr could easily be the British version of Joe rogan in the podcast comedy space there
My only disappointment with this episode was I was hoping to see Jimmy with no shoes sitting cross-legged on the couch because I can't imagine what that looks like. Edit: ewww fucking gross Steven Pinker reference.
I was annoyed by them interrupting too much at first but they had some really good punchlines later on... Got a bit bored of Jimmy taking himself so seriously and ignoring the riffs
I liked them a lot, they added fun moments that wouldn’t be there with out them, and I think they were really patient with allowing others to talk. Never thought they interrupted too much.
It’s kind of crazy how much funnier and quicker Jimmy is than Pete lol. I mean I love Pete for his personality but his sense of humor is sort of stuck in around 2013 when his career peaked if that makes sense. damn, it’s almost humiliating
I find Pete Holmes to be one of the most annoying and least charismatic people ever. Something about him creeps me out, deeply. Like, I think he might be a serial killer. No evidence or reason to think that at all.
Thats a bad advice xD Dont lean into just one thing and ignore your other talents if you have more than one. In this world your skill is needed in every little corner. Imagin you became a comedian and you are quite funny. But there are 1000 other comedians like you. No one needs your comedic skills anymore. The market is filled. So what do you do? You go to your next best thing and do it your newest best thing. Or even better you become a generalist and do all of the things at the same time. You will not become an expert in any of these things specifically but you can do more things at once and this will land you way more jobs. Way more happiness this way. Because you dont get dissapointed in yourself afterwards when you see that noone needs your skills because just you are talented.
phenomenal. truly. four comics that deliver from the intellect rather than the painful needy side of comedy, have one of the most present, human, and humane conversation I've heard, and, peppered with killer punch lines and callbacks.
painful needy side = exactly
This was genuinely something special. Jimmy Carr is always hysterical, but in this he shows some humanity, and a philosophical depth that I never would have expected from him.

Watch his Diary of a CEO interview.
This is one of the best things I’ve seen; the four of them together. And, Jimmy Carr is so so on. Loved this.
This summer makes 10 years of me being a weirdo. Used to listen to this podcast while stocking the fridge at my shitty night job, now I listen while at a different shitty night job. Pete always comes through with quality guests and conversations. Much love!
I'm a newborn weirdo, three weeks old, still with that 'new weirdo' smell.
And I'm glad to be here.
What a wonderful episode. Truly enjoyed hearing Jimmy’s insights.
The final joke by Jimmy has me laughing out loud! Great episode!
Gosh, I've been waiting for a podcast with Jimmy Carr. I guess just now it finally made our way to the algo feed. This was great. Loved the part about changing one's mind every so often.
There's one or two recent ones with Jimmy Carr, i forget what podcast though.
Jimmy on Jordan petersons pod was amazing
He did one talking about his favorite movies on Films to be Buried With w/ Brett Goldstein in Nov of '21.
This was so great and thought provoking, as your podcast always is.
Thanks, Pete!
This might be my favorite podcast you have done. I loved it.
1:10 good thing Pete remembers the rule of comedy - "build everyone up"
You’re awesome Pete. Such a great group of comedians. Also just realized you laugh like Jiminy Glick sometimes and it cracks me up.
This is why I love comedy. Most of the comedians are such interesting, intelligent folks. I often wonder how many people understand the depth behind all the dick jokes. I’m a musician with comedian leaning interests, and I feel like much of what Jimmy says pertains to my field as well, and the comedic interest is born of intelligent parents, one of whom is bipolar and mean. She terrorized our household, so my sister took care of watching out for us, and my role became the energy bringer. I was always trying to find a way to turn awkward/painful/scary moments into laughter. That’s how I’ve always dealt with it, especially when I’m feeling anxious or troubled. Laughter was our medicine, and I was the house pharmacist.
Jimmy is so great. I’m thrilled to have stumbled across this podcast. Thanks for the gem, gents.
i just realized, if the US ever adapts the big fat quiz series Pete would be the only person who could host it...
and no one's allowed to say seth meyers, I called it.
Awesome time here, great people, love it.
Probably one of the best episodes in 5 years. You two really should work together. It's like a modern odd couple. Cool hip guy Crunchy spiritual guy. Perfect combo
I really enjoyed this!
best talk ever......shout out from South Africa
Jimmy Carr is brilliant
Absolutely incredible show, such a funny group
Yooooo Jimmy Carr is in God mode
Only podcast I'll ever listen to. Pete's content brings me joy, peace of mind and always helps me vent some deep rooted thoughts. Carr is a perfect guest and such a wonderful combination of magnanimity and just shin kicking wit!
jimmy’s face throughout this whole thing is the best
fantastic!
These four confirms national stereotypes so hard; The Englishman is quoting Leonardo da Vinci and the three Americans are grasping at straws. We get it, "kitchen".
who else would lose their fucking mind if they saw pete on an episode of big fat quiz?
Its cool that Pete's cohost were able to fill in last minute and showed it by dressing like one just got off work and one just got back from vacation
Jimmy Carr and Pete Holmes in the same stream. I can die happy now...
Any info on the documentary that Pete says he watches each year... he refers to it as "Happiness", but not finding that; there is one called "Happy", but doesn't seem to be it... he talked about flow and line cooks, which is the part that caught my attention... any info to find it is appreciated.
I adore him
Where are the links to sponsors?
I always suspected that Jimmy Carr was a formidable speaker , because of the rhythm and cadence of his comedy, and I'm glad that I'm right, he could have been a preacher or motivational speaker
Jimmy proves you can be deep, transcendent and completely rational. My kind of guy!
The Sklars should be on every podcast
Do one of those Batman or ex men sketches again please 😭 i love them a lot
Haha then watch them again they are still gold
please allow the audio from these to be downloadable like your podcast used to be. much easier to consume on the go.
Reggie makes the best songs.
Why you guys not drop the full Mateo Lane episode 😭
55:00 nice jump cut edit why?
Honestly, four people is too many for a podcast.
Pete interrupts enough on his own, he doesn't need co-hosts.
Hope Jimmy goes on the podcast again one day with just Pete.
Right. Not too far in yet but this is a bloody mess. I have seen these multiple people podcast, but these two guys are just a bit too much.
Pete being angry about people only commenting on his height is so fun 😂 it's nice that tall people also get mad about height
Ad reads make me feel gross. No offense, I get it. But I also don't get it.
"tomorrow never knows"
What a treat for my midnight bedtime
Nice
Nothing DOES exist. Because NOTHING is EVERYTHING.
For the fact-check seekers out there: 'David' was sculpted by Michelangelo, not Leonardo da Vinci.
It’s easy to confuse them because all the turtles look the same. (Is that okay to say in 2022?)
Faith is the voluntary act of believing in something, regardless of any evidence for or against it. Science makes no statement without evidence, you can't have "faith" in science.
I never expected Carr to be so spiritual....... and yet an atheist. I wonder for how long?
This was nice, thanks.
I grew up somewhat spiritual as an athiest before going militant athiest n calming to agnostic, but, immediate family were "athiest" with spirituality.
Basically hating organised religion but needing a way to cope with death n suffering creates that
@@drumboarder1 interesting! I'm doing ok just accepting I'm no more interesting to eternity than anything else, but I'm important to the people around me, and finding ways to improve their ride and enjoying my own ride is still pretty nice. Don't waste it 👌
@@talldude1412 that's how I used to look at it, seems the best way
He turned atheist at 26, currently aged 49
Jimmy is one of the most spiritual atheists I think I’ve ever heard Pete interview.
Fun to watch but what were the other two guys there for ?
23:56 I sometimes wonder if the Greek gods were just massive celebrities in their time. The evidence doesn't support that, but it's an amusing thought.
I love the Sklar brothers as Pete's henchmen
'Whatever makes you uncomfortable' that explains the Hitler mustache
6:17
48:50
does onnit really need to sponsor any other podcasts? Surely they are covered...
Wtf is dad grass
Really funny. Not trying to be mean but I think it would have been better without the guys on the right trying to get bits in or co-sign, most of the time it just kills the flow.
I'm happy to see the second one is just Pete and Jimmy
Hmmmm... i have a lot to say but i dont think you can handle it. Maybe next time.
Me?
Kinda wish this was just Pete and Jimmy….
Felt like the "co-hosts" were like children at the table holding back the adult conversation, telling stories that lead nowhere and making bad jokes. Really hope we get a 1on1 on the sofa
Big fan of everything and everyone here, but not knowing what an isotope is off the top of your head doesn't make religion any more true. "I don't know" is a huge part of science and it doesn't make any religious claim. That sentence meant essentially nothing.
If Jimmy is right, we should really stop talking about Hitler.
Brain crutch infomercial
Ikr. That put me off. I looked up what that is and went into a rabbit hole about how some celebs low-key endorse unproven products over normal treatment to help with mental illness. Ew.
Holy heck, about 10 years ago I abandoned a script about two jewish clones who were aspiring comedians but kept stepping on everyone's punch lines because I thought no one would ever find characters like that believable... What a fool I was.

10,000 hours to get good at something, not get into the space program
Seem to be conflating honing an ability with achieving success
It only takes 20 hours to get pretty good at something. 10,000 to an expert in a niche field.
Shut those awful co-hosts up, 10 minutes in and it’s already unwatchable.
Who ever that guy was completely missed the point about Michael Jordan, imagine being as old as he is and speaking for a living not being able to have a conversation, pathetic
It's a different kind of the same type of atom. Meaning that it has a different number of neutrons but the same number of protons. I thought he meant that people don't know why things can have different chemical properties when they are so similar and that is still mysterious. But, you 1-upped him with your ignorance and was like "yeah...what is an isotope?". Either way I get it. Jimmy is so known for a quick set-up and move on, so it was interesting to hear him slowly build a premise. He kind of seemed a little coked up. Maybe he's just in a hurry.
Coked up....no, he just always speaks quickly. Listen to his other interviews.
I hope these people are joking about not knowing comedy legends the sklar brothers are and when it comes to comedy the more the better you can't have to many funny people in a great conversation
Oh and Jimmy Carr could easily be the British version of Joe rogan in the podcast comedy space there
My only disappointment with this episode was I was hoping to see Jimmy with no shoes sitting cross-legged on the couch because I can't imagine what that looks like. Edit: ewww fucking gross Steven Pinker reference.
My god those co-hosts are unbearable
I was annoyed by them interrupting too much at first but they had some really good punchlines later on... Got a bit bored of Jimmy taking himself so seriously and ignoring the riffs
I liked them a lot, they added fun moments that wouldn’t be there with out them, and I think they were really patient with allowing others to talk. Never thought they interrupted too much.
Nobody cares if you are first
Hey man, it's a Pete Holmes video- just let him be happy
Nobody cares that you need to tell this person that nobody cares if they're first
First
It’s kind of crazy how much funnier and quicker Jimmy is than Pete lol. I mean I love Pete for his personality but his sense of humor is sort of stuck in around 2013 when his career peaked if that makes sense. damn, it’s almost humiliating
You aren't America's new John Ritter!! ... lol 🤣 ( oh no you kinda are, but without the talent)
I find Pete Holmes to be one of the most annoying and least charismatic people ever.
Something about him creeps me out, deeply.
Like, I think he might be a serial killer. No evidence or reason to think that at all.
That’s because he’s charming.
thank god you're not employed in any form of behavioural analysis/profiling for a law enforcement organisation
Thats a bad advice xD Dont lean into just one thing and ignore your other talents if you have more than one. In this world your skill is needed in every little corner. Imagin you became a comedian and you are quite funny. But there are 1000 other comedians like you. No one needs your comedic skills anymore. The market is filled. So what do you do?

Because you dont get dissapointed in yourself afterwards when you see that noone needs your skills because just you are talented.
Michael Jordan was a journeyman, not the greatest of all time? WT actual F.
Jimmy Carr is the worst 🤮
That makes me like him more!
