Matt Johnson | You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes

[@FlatThumb]

Every time I watch interviews with Matt I get re-invigorated about the creative process and feel like I could do anything! Bring it on!

[@NickFish117]

I literally search youtube for more interviews every month, I can't believe i missed this one

[@Todd-_-Umptious]

Matt Johnson interviews have the same effect as microdosing LSD and taking a bath in your pants.

[@kaitlinjuni]

Yes

[@Cybershell13]

Very funny and insightful conversation. Love Matt Johnson to death, Nirvanna the Band the Show is one of the greatest shows of all time. Just seeing the boys again in that video they made for Mega64 filled me with such pure joy it's hard to even put into words. Will patiently wait for S3, no matter how long it takes.

[@vworpin9945]

Have you heard about the Movie they just shot?? hoping it's successful enough to make somebody wanna release season 3 :D

[@midwestfest426]

Never expected to find my favorite youtuber in this comment section, but here you are.

[@suddeneye9836]

Where do I see the series in the US?

[@andreou3335]

What a nice surprise seeing that Cybershell loves Nirvana the Band. Makes sense, the Sonic Lore Expert clearly has good taste.

[@Eggolas]

If Matt is ever in LA you got to get him back for a part 2. The man is a living legend. I've followed his career for about a decade now and I gotta praise the fact that you had him on your show.

[@consciousunwinding]

This episode felt less like a podcast and more like listening in on two friends stumbling into an incredibly thoughtful and connected conversation. What a gem Matt is! So reflective and candid. Thanks for another great one 🤍

[@jeremymorrow9477]

I connect so much with Matt's 90s gamer persona. I love that when he tells a story about how he was scared by a ghost, he sums up how scared he was by saying "I quit EverQuest". If you were a 90s gamer hooked on EQ, you know how hard that was to do.

[@MoikaloopTV]

This podcast really opened my eyes towards how I experience creativity and storytelling. Thank you so much for this conversation.

[@codyclarke]

One of my favorite episodes ever. You gotta have him back again sometime in person!

[@callmesyr]

You know that feeling of watching a movie and feeling it was both about and for you? That's the feeling this podcast gave me. Thank you for this.

[@terrormgmt]

First time listener. Came for Matt, stayed for your beautiful conversation. Can deeply, deeply connect w “the thing you want is on the other side of the thing you don’t want.” Thank you both, Pete especially-such a pleasant surprise all around.

[@tomjamison8930]

Matt is literally one of the sharpest & funniest young director out there

[@adamedward3523]

kinda profound talk here? where can you find this type of depth in a podcast these days? truly enjoyable, thank you both.

[@AP-be6td]

Saw the dirtiest and thought it was so good and nostalgic and creative... so amazing seeing the progess of Matt.. I remember also watching his interview on the youtube channel Yourmoviesucks

[@shykids]

this is the best interview for both parties.

[@flower5185]

I LOVE Nirvanna the band the show. Ever since I discovered it, I've check out everything Matt's involved with. Thanks for bringing him on the show!

[@LemonFlavoredTea]

I nearly gasped when I saw this pop up in my podcast feed, my two favorite creators!

[@HollyHargreaves]

Great chat. The museum ep of Nirvana is amazing 🎉

[@aaronhall5715]

BlackBerry was such a great film and Glenn Howerton stole the show. Matt's line about the Force....sorry have you seen Star Wars....cracks me up every time.

[@DancingSk3L3tons]

25:00 did not expect this pod to get this deep but I'm here for it man, mad respect for him being this self aware and making a change & speaking on it too, he's probably helped a lot of people listening who may have this problem, props 👏👏👏🙌🏻

[@kaitlinjuni]

Please have Matt back on! I love this episode so much, I’ve watched it at least 3 times

[@rufusgoldstreiff]

Such a great interview, thank you guys =) Also, the fact that the chase scene from the museum in season 1 of NTBTS was "real" is mind-boggling!

[@haley2926]

Commenting again now that I’ve finished. Been listening for years and this is one of the best eps! Pete may have felt in a funk but was an amazing listener here and fostered a great conversation

[@milarc]

I had the opportunity to meet Matt during an after party for "The Dirties" in Toronto. Very humble and genuine guy.

[@frogg42069]

for those that wanna watch the show theyre up on The Internet Archive

[@JerryFlowersIII]

When Pete mentioned Lord of the Rings and how you should hold onto power, you should throw it into the fire. I lingered on that situation and thought: "If I can give everyone the means to help others, then when I am in need, someone will help." And that ladies and gentlemen is a power that won't corrupt. Conversation was truly enlightening. Cruisin' USA

[@getjac]

Love Nirvana the band the show! Matt is one of the most interesting creators out there right now, and this conversations showed how much depth and consideration he puts into his work

[@geraldwafflebottom3397]

Matt Johnson is the GOAT , best ep of the year and it's only January

[@haley2926]

Starting the ep and already find it cool that you’re zooming him from his home town. Makes the first meeting and zoom experience an interesting ice breaker

[@TechMetalRules]

Nirvanna the Band the Show (both web series and Vice series) is hands down the most underrated show to ever exist.

[@logancutler6267]

Huge amount of respect for Matt. Very inspiring guy creatively.

[@DrEaMsNoEviL]

Loved him in blackberry. Watched it off your recommendation actually

[@commaJim]

Great movie!

[@dr_redbanRL]

This was a really good pod. Felt like i learned things about life as well as Matt and Pete

[@killedbykato]

ecstatic about this! huge matt johnson fan, i even asked for this episode in the comments of the glenn howerton episode lol

[@HeatherForestH]

Great chat and meeting of like minds! Long time fan of Pete, but just discovered Matt from Blackberry - which is embarrassing as I’m Canadian so I should know his other work - but that speaks to the point that U.S. media is so much more widespread.

[@tomjamison8930]

Fun Fact: The idea that Matt mentions at 34:05 is actually known as “Jester’s Privilege”

[@ligairi]

47:36 Any Bjork fans know where this quote comes from?

[@mayonnnnnaise]

Dude, watching Blackberry, it was so refreshing to see TMNT held in such high regard.

[@chickenjoeclark]

I have no clue who Matt is but I really enjoyed this conversation!!!

[@ligairi]

1:18:11 The irony of Pete coming up with The Adventures of George and George is that there was actually a show on TV when Pete was young called The Adventures of Pete and Pete. And the show knew it was a joke.

[@dr_redbanRL]

This is huge. Gotta love Matt

[@Michael-jr1dc]

Really great, Pete! Loved this! It was inspiring and I'm definitely going to check out more of yours and Matts work. Thank you!

[@whoadude51]

loved this interview, prompted a rewatch of NTBTS

[@AmericanMuseumofParamusicology]

This is a wonderful conversation. Thank you :)

[@dosesandmimoses]

I loved nirvana the band episodes… so ahead of their time!

[@hourwagontoupeeferret6107]

I'm listening to the Jake Johnson episode on a podcast, and I was just thinking...How perfect would it be to edit the scene at the end of Jurassic World where Lauren Lapkus tells Jake that she's engaged, and you cut to Pete Holmes as her fiancé? Crossover city, baby!!!

[@vvvvaaaacccc]

I admire Matt. I want to escape my low adapative peaks. and I too rebelled against the structure and rules, thinking that those who did were uncreative sheep. I need to make my peace with certain rules.

[@jasonyates3311]

Am I crazy or is his background music for the ad spots an instrumental of "Bassnectar - The 808 Track", it strikes me so oddly every time

[@waltergross1269]

The Dirties is brilliant too

[@mistakitty]

Sitting at 666 likes, cant be the one to break that. Seriously love this this conversation, gained a new respect for Pete. Cant wait to explore his work.

[@WarWorksProductions]

Beautiful stuff

[@nothing-2-live-4]

The Dirties is another great Matt Johnson joint.

Such a fucking good conversation. Thank you

[@shwinger51187]

Great podcast! Comedy + philsophy + Gilgamesh

[@howiespancakeshack]

@1:56 - it's gotta be foxes fookin'. Google the sound of a fox scream. It's like a witch-goblin.

[@gorkmusic]

What a cool guy.

[@hadesmusic1175]

No way, I got to work with Matt once.

[@nickmilnes]

Pete's desire to call out the bullshit of a movie production reminded me of the R.D. Laing quote, "They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game” -Dunno what the punishment is quite. This kind of opprobrium?

[@SuperBrentendo89]

I think Matt looks like a mix of Pete Holmes and Chris D’Elia

[@jam_soda]

Dream come true.

[@BRAINROTcomps]

These guys look like brothers

[@TheColdrush22]

Where the hell can we find the Nirvana series?

[@brambenderoff1741]

That’s a very good question, hope you find it someday it’s fantastic

[@GoodMorningJoel]

If it helps, the show is spelled Nirvanna (The Band: The Show). If you still can't find it though, all I'll say is the folks on the subreddit or Facebook group should be able to help you out

I have a crack on my screen protector that perfectly traces the line of one of those dead trees out that window. Isn’t that fun.

[@Gigifrancetexas]

Pete I love you but please have a dermatologist on. There is nothing wrong with any sunscreen on the market. They are all tested throughly and are safe. Zinc oxide is just a mineral just like uranium is. It’s not any more inherently safe for your skin than any other sunscreen “natural” doesn’t mean better. The most toxic substances on earth are all found in nature. (Botox, arsenic etc.). You might be scaring someone away from using a perfectly safe and effective sunscreen and they might end up with cancer. You are misinformed I’m sorry to say it and it would do you and your audience a huge favor to try to have an expert (chemical engineer etc) that can explain this better than I can

[@thetruemorg]

So I listened to this whole podcast with no idea what Mr. Johnson looked like. I even remember at the very beginning there was a vague mention that you could be brothers or cousins, but my brain put a very different face to Matt Johnson's voice. There was a level of clarity and intelligence and genuineness... Then I watched Nirvana the band the show and I was confronted with one of those moments of questioning if this man had some intellectual disabilities that were un diagnosed. I'm going to take a minute to really let that settle those two divergent things. It's a really good interview and way weirder than I expected

[@skinkscat]

yeah let’s make the AD’s life harder

[@ligairi]

Wait this is NOT Jord Samolesky?

[@ligairi]

Wait, and his family is from Winnipeg? This MUST be Jord’s nephew!

Please do more realistic Mario. It’s been almost a decade since the last one.

How meta. Pete Holmes makes everything wierd.

[@TheGreatKrystoff]

Wait...which one's Pete again? I'm confused are you interviewing yourself as a character?
