Everybody has secret weirdness. Pete Holmes gets comedians
to share theirs.
When the
up-and-coming actor/comedian T.J Miller of HBO's "Silicon Valley" joins his
friend, Pete Holmes, on Holmes' second podcast (10/27/2011) the conversation's
immediate court-jester improv tone glides with bare-bones honesty to the deep
end of the intellectual pool. Their rapport and rambling laughs draw you in as
they segue from insane Merriam-Websters, knocking out nonsense words into an
honestly emotional discussion of what's important in their lives.
Often well-known
or aspiring comedians appear on podcasts to promote upcoming dates/ sell
tickets to their shows, but during these 75 minutes, the only reference to
movies or comic acts are to those that have affected these guys' psyches.
(Miller and Holmes being weird)
"You Made it
Weird” abandons any/all talk show chit-chat formats evolving from Holme's
desire to probe his guests' (think : Bill Nye/ Zach Galiafiankis) candid
views, with jugular-directed questions as lead-ins to discussion. Miller here
comfortably fills Holmes' compact podcast's Internet living room.
