![]() Plenty of YMIW episodes have a “hangout” vibe that makes one envy that time in the studio, but this was the first episode that made people want to be Pete and Valerie’s dog. It goes without saying, but Sweet Lady Val is a wonderful guest in her own right charming, whip-smart, and completely holding her own against the two loud, drunk comedians who, of course, happen to be her best friends. It may seem cheesy and overly narrative, but fans had heard so much about Valerie up to this point, and had become so invested in Pete’s romantic life after hearing the story of his divorce (many, many times) that when Valerie finally showed up, and their relationship was as sweet, communicative and passionate as we had hoped, everyone flipped a shit like it was the end of The Parent Trap. But this episode is most notable for being the first significant on-mic appearance of Pete’s frequently referenced girlfriend Valerie. Pete sits down for the 300th episode of YMIW to drink and answer Twitter questions with his opener and friend Brent Sullivan (also the subject of his own fantastic episode). ![]() In fact, it’s delightful! Miller’s later appearances are fascinating as well (he returned in another early episode to explain his feud with Dane Cook, and then again several hundred episodes later to aggressively challenge Pete on questions of nihilism), but he’s at his most playful here, getting on Pete’s case for his “Springs and Sponges” theory and telling the gripping story of his cerebral arteriovenous malformation on the set of Yogi Bear 3D. Miller offered proof that YMIW could do full episodes where they just pal around doing bits without it becoming solipsistic or self-indulgent. He wouldn’t abandon it completely until later, but his first interview with a mostly pre-fame T.J. From the get-go, you could tell that both Pete and the guest felt limited by this premise. The earliest episodes of YMIW stuck strictly to Pete’s inner circle, and they tried to adhere to the show’s original format, where Pete brings up three weird things he knows about the guest. These are the sweetest, the funniest, and the overall weirdest. ![]() With Holmes’s new HBO sitcom Crashing pulling in rave reviews, Paste has decided to look back on all 350-odd episodes of You Made It Weird in order to pick the top fifteen (we couldn’t pick ten). YMIW has its fair share of detractors-Holmes’ best frenemy Chelsea Perretti vocally abhors the pet name “Weirdos” and I know plenty of people who love Holmes in general but can’t get on board with his distinctive belly-laugh-but the people who love this show love this show, and consider it to be Pete Holmes’s purest possible expression of Pete Holmes. And Pete’s ability to spark up chemistry with anyone delivers spontaneous, conversational comedy in episodes with close friends and obscure strangers alike. You Made It Weird covers an astounding amount of ground, even within its Comedy-Sex-God format. The What the Heck? to his What the Fuck? But though Maron may have created and popularized the interview podcast-and, let’s be fair, redefined the long form interview itself, in the medium’s first dramatic update since Dick Cavett-Holmes was the one to personalize it, adding considerable breadth and depth to Maron’s already overshare-prone format. Pete Holmes has fully admitted-multiple times-that his podcast is a nice-boy ripoff of Marc Maron’s. For instance: there are 350 episodes of his Nerdist podcast You Made It Weird.
