" If this doesnt shred......... ill read it " Genuinely belly-laughed at that

[@Randomynous01]

Man its so good seeing Pete Holmes back in the game again and just as good as the old days.. he’s underrated today for some reason

The cat thing is so true. I have a friend with cats and every time I go over to his house and see one of the cats I'm like "oh yeah I forgot you have cats"

[@Lollita23]

The dog cell phone bit had me rolling

Pete has the verve and fresh material as new comedians do. His three-season series Crashing is endearing and time well-spent.

[@maryrosekent8223]

He’s not new-I first saw him about seven years ago on _@Midnight_

@@maryrosekent8223 Might want to re=read the post. Maybe a couple times.

[@maryrosekent8223]

@@kinsmed “Pete has the verve and fresh material *as* new comedians do.” Perhaps you meant to say “Pete has the verve and fresh material *that* new comedians do.” That would convey the message that he’s not a new comedian but you wouldn’t know it from his approach; the wording you used implies with the as is that he’s a new comedian and that’s why he’s excited to be up on stage.

[@DonSultanable]

I missed his stand-ups, so cool to see him again!

[@andrewjohnson6716]

Hilarious! Love all his material.

2:49 I think the camera man got distracted for a minute and forgot where to focus the cam on lol.. can't blame him tho, she's very pretty

Nah its just fun to see cute audience members enjoying a laugh too. It's not the first time a camera paused on somebody in the rows

There is none better than Pete. Congrats on the veganism. I am vegan 18 years. Was vegetarian for 10 years before that.

[@benlikebike]

2021? Here's comedy from 6 years ago, wow thanks!

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands your own.

[@bohemian.k7229]

..And If your goals don’t work out, put them in the paper shredder 😆 I kid I kid. Thank you for the reminder ❤️ 🙏🏼 I’ve been journaling recently and it’s really been helping my figure things out! So I’m right there with you

We vegan, once I was in a bar, I asked for a salad 'with no meat whatsoever please', guy replied, 'Sure, I have this one with chicken. Chicken isnt meat, right?'. He was serious, not taking a p***. Serious.

[@Tasarran]

Had someone who claimed to be vegan tell me fish wasn't meat. He could not be convinced otherwise... "Look, fish swim around. Plants grow in the ground." But he just kept repeating... "But fish aren't meat..."

My hearing aids Bluetooth to everything, and they have this feature where you can either hear only from in front of you, only to the left of you, only to the right of you, or only behind you so you could spy on people

[@smoggyboy6365]

they've got bluetooth? you can just stream jams straight into yer ears?

[@FinallyAFreeUsername]

2:49 wow

[@irishandirie]

That's so great. I've been vegan for a better part of 20 years. My mother, who is a wonderful, accommodating cook, still says, (and maybe hears the word as?), "vagan." 😆 When my dear kitties were alive they loved to follow me in the bathroom; they probably knew it was annoyed me. Maybe Pete's blowin' up the bathroom too much for them.

[@peterDcontact]

If I want to leave the house I have to have my cats surgically removed from my person. If you raised your dog or your child like you raise your cat they would be aloof. You determine your relationship with your critters.
