Mayim Bialik | You Made It Weird!

[@JayMaverick]

Happy to hear other commenters agree with my reaction.

[@timnicodemus8651]

I'm reminded of the quote "Stand for something or you'll fall for anything." Perhaps worth thinking about as you collect your sponsorship earnings for this episode.

[@julesmbc]

They have such a wholesome friendship, it's rare, and great to see among a man, and a woman.

[@TallyTube]

As someone entirely out of the loop and having no idea who this guest is, but coming from being a fan of YMIW as long as thirteen years ago, I’m legitimately wondering why there is such a backlash for this episode? I’m not being facetious as some may suspect. I’m truly in the dark here. Coming from this simply as a fan of Pete Holmes and not knowing this guest, and just enjoying the episode as a normal conversation as any would be, what is the deal with the comment section? It seems like there’s some weird automatic bias against the guest?

[@blakebellis]

She's been vocally pro-Israel this past year even as the death toll climbed into the tens of thousands.

[@tara741]

I'm confused too... hahah

[@derekrayy]

What’s the issue with this episode? I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m unaware of what these comments are about

[@timnicodemus8651]

Mainly around her position on Israel / Gaza and Pete's lack of ability to push into substantive topics (like him ignoring Reggie Watts wanting to talk about it last episode).

[@BeepBoopBleepBlorp]

She is an open supporter of a genocidal, antisemitic, fascist ideology called zionism.

[@TallyTube]

⁠@@timnicodemus8651so? Let him be who he is! Let him be someone who isn’t trying to do a political podcast, no matter how badly you want him to be. He isn’t YOU. He is HIM. When did “Not commenting” on something become a fucking deadly sin?? lol I am actually laughing out loud as I write this. So let’s see, you’re upset that someone else didn’t say something you think you would say if in that position? You must be constantly in a state of fear or panic! I’m sorry for that.

[@BlainEnoch]

What's wrong with her opinion on Israel-Gaza?

[@EncourageSquirt]

It’s based on racism and supremacy. It’s gross. Like her whole being.

[@timnicodemus8651]

Making this 'unlisted' is incredibly cowardly. If you believe in this conversation, then post it publicly and engage with the pushback.

[@JustOneAsbesto]

@@streetlifeofzackandcody Oh, they must have de-unlisted it. It doesn't "show" unlisted anywhere, the video just... disappeared. That's the point of unlisting.

[@sisterseeth]

Unsubscribed. Aside from the overwhelming interruption of every other sentence the guest said, you've also just now failed to meet my own "life-cleansing campaign" requirements in order to rid my life of people who choose profit over harm to others, bend the truth for more opportunity, or sacrifice core values for the golden key to inclusivity in the social commons. I hope you will join those of us who are also on this cleansing campaign. You may have less money and fewer friends, but you'll be able to look in the mirror and feel peace. Plus, the friends that remain and the ones you will gain, will be of far better quality. Do you think these people won't throw you to the wolves, the moment you step out of line? Do you possess the self-esteem required for this to bother you?

[@emolynmaclaren1072]

USA existed and thrives because of inducing conflicts and joining wars ! Iraq was bombed and people were chemically killed because of twin towers terrorism, just as 7th October massacre !

[@JustinTotino]

How disappointing.

[@SatansSimgma]

That's such a weird response to a guest you don't like. Very smug, like something Blossom would say.

[@Pumpkinking64]

Pete, I know you don’t read comments, but it really is a terrible, terrible look to platform a Zionist right now. I also noticed you didn’t say a single thing about Gaza or Palestinians during your Reggie Watts episode when he was showing support and that was really concerning.

[@Pumpkinking64]

​@scoot2live yep. A huge letdown as I would assume Pete would be on the right side of this issue.

[@timnicodemus8651]

Glad it wasn't just me that noticed it. As much as I've learned from Pete, that was a tough education in the limits of his line of thinking.

[@rickricky6421]

@@domoreok I noticed that too! Reggie bravely spoke up without fear of retribution, yet Pete won’t even comment or even silently protest with the passive action of not platforming Zionists.

[@chcr18]

He's definitely reading these this time. Looks like he's losing subscribers like crazy.

[@MISNM0]

​@@rickricky6421 Having an opinion that a majority or minority will agree with isn't brave to share if it isn't followed with consistent and appropriate action that seeks to affect the outcome. Pete and Mayim do not want people murdered. They're human beings who care about the well being of others and their human rights.

[@kevinmccombs3201]

Great! Ep! Mayim is delightful! Petey goes from silly to serious to silly, rinse and repeat at least 144 times per show and she played along beautifully. Pete- "I'm talking to a science" 🤣

[@katenewkirk541]

And asked her just to explain the whole universe. 😅

[@MichaelKrasMagic]

Naaaaaah, this isn’t the vibe.

[@BlainEnoch]

What you're actually saying on 52:00 is that Halacha is inevitably comical. From my experience, you are absolutely correct. Years of trying to define and codify every single thing in the world, and articulating relevant rules for it to apply precisely in any given situation, have made the Jewish brain insanely funny. Analytical, ethics-oriented and funny.

[@TajesMahoney]

Platforming a zionist, that IS weird, Pete!

[@MISNM0]

Stop

[@TallyTube]

SooOooOOO WeeeiirrrrddDD!!!

[@user-tc1fw5ms5s]

Zionism is so sad and causing so much pain, I understand why people are upset about this guest who is outspoken in her support of it. I'm also not really sure shunning and berating someone for talking to her is as good a move as people seem to think it is

[@user-tc1fw5ms5s]

@scoot2live i hear what your saying, and I totally understand your perspective. I'm not talking about giving Pete the benefit of the doubt here. I'm talking about shunning and berating - in general, to anyone- I dont believe it produces the results people hope it will. I think it causes more division and makes having an impact harder to do. There's also a bit of "let he who has not sinned throw the first stone" vibe here that might be helpful for some to consider. And also I believe everyone's intention is in the right place

[@josephballerini3730]

⁠​⁠@@domoreokWhat do you think the real world implications are? I don’t think an opinion of an actor on a podcast is going to have any real world implications.

For those who are saying "unsubscribed" - what would the world look like if we refused to talk to people that we disagree with? When we have open conversations with each other we realize that we have more in common than we thought. We humanize each other. God forbid the world is more complex and nuanced than we want it to be.

[@JustOneAsbesto]

They're not saying "unsubscribed" for him HEARING her viewpoint, they're saying it for Pete being like "Yeah, yeah, mhmmm, that's a good point. Genocide is good. I agree." It's good to have a conversation with someone who disagrees with you, but you DON'T have to agree with that person when they advocate for genocide. In fact you should VERY vocally DISAGREE with that.

When “Blossom” ended, Joey Lawrence was given another tv show with his brothers, including Matthew, who was coming off of “Mrs. Doubtfire”. However, a cousin of one of the movie’s other cast members became bitter about not being able to ride his relatives’ coattails. But he didn’t give up, and now has a top 10 podcast about how he’s definitely not bitter about that. He just happens to be really against the idea of sys men becoming women. It’s called “the daily why’re you talking about Mrs. doubtfire? No, you’re the one who brought it up.”

[@jaime7203]

Wonderful episode 😊😂

[@BlainEnoch]

I watch alooooot of podcasts, mostly on youtube, and I've never seen such an outrageous comments section. And I watch quite a bit of political content from all sides. I'm not sure what the conclusion should be. I'm kind of suspecting that if this is the nature of your audience, the podcast probably isn't very good. I might be wrong. Hope I am. Either way, it sucks. So called "liberal" extremism doesn't make anyone a better person. Just like joining Al Qaeda never made anyone a better Muslim. If you're lazy and ignorant and ready to believe every half-truth that comes your way, you can have all the best intentions in the world and still cause substantial damage to the lives of people who actually have to live the consequences of your so called "activism". So... If you are that person, lazy and ignorant and gullible, and you genuinely want to do some good in the world, either take the time to sit down and do some deep, serious research (which starts by examining all sides of the story, namely listening, really listening to opposing narratives) or alternatively find yourself a new hobby and go live your life in peace. What you're doing right now is not helping anybody. Believe me. It just makes life 10 times harder for people across the world dealing with hardships you can't even imagine.
