Since this came out I went from barely being aware of Pete Holmes to watching all of Crashing, a slew of his stand up, becoming evangelical, but then distancing myself from its dogmatic aspects, and legally changing my name to Pete.

There is a distinct difference with this show and other comedy podcasts. Andrew and the guest, Pete in this case, constantly interrupt each other and go on dozens of tangents and it just works.

[@haydengibson9504]

I really enjoyed crashing I thought it was pretty good

[@Kroesprtobaggan]

I think he just works a loooot behind the scenes and with/for other comedians as well as writing. If you do not actively seek him out I think because of his moderate personality without much swearing he does not polarise that much and hence he is not seen that much over platforms that work on polarising discourse.

For being a "hip hop head", Santino should realize that when the Beastie Boys came out with License to Ill, most hip hop was comedy. A lot of the songs were kinda funny stories. Dudes like Slick Rick and others just rhymed funny stories. Then hip hop changed in the late 80s and early 90s and turned serious and "gangster". But the Beastie Boys pretty much stayed the same and put out songs like Intergalactic that weren't supposed to be taken seriously. They were still just having fun.
