Pete Holmes Has a Message for Every Parent

from The Daily Dad

Comedian Pete Holmes is calling out a lie most parents tell themselves: “I’m doing it for my family.” In this episode, Pete and Ryan break down how work, ambition, and the idea of “providing” can become the perfect excuse to drift away from the very people we say we’re doing it all for. Pete Holmes is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, and podcaster. He first gained recognition in the early 2010s as a stand-up comic, and also released his first comedy special and worked as a television writer and actor. He is the host of the podcast You Made It Weird, author of Comedy Sex God, and the creator of the HBO show Crashing. 👉 Check out Ryan and Pete's full conversation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Follow Pete Holmes on Instagram, X, and YouTube 🎙️Listen to Pete’s podcast You Made It Weird on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and YouTube 📚 Grab signed copies of Comedy Sex God by Pete Holmes at The Painted Porch | https://www.thepaintedporch.com/ 👉 Give yourself the ultimate gift of parenting tools, structure, and community.
