We are tremendous admirers of his hilarious and beautifully introspective perspective on the human experience. This is easily the most authentic and intimate interview they’ve ever done, thanks to Pete, Kate, and Val for hosting them. New and old fans really don’t want to miss this 3+ hour convo. And for Christ’s sake, if you’re not already following Pete, get your mind right and start listening. Go forth and listen!
