    demons from the shadows. fantastic. everything beyond dude’s bit was contradictory to him in the show. beyond that, there was a lot of conformativism. as well as some classism n’shit. the epi as a whole was fucking awesome for white men with kids!

    I was so incredibly disappointed in this podcast.  His guest’s comments about Latina women was disgusting.  “She’s 16 and Latina so she looks 22 and ready to go.”  What the fuck is that about?  It can’t be defended as social commentary where this is a gross white guy saying “It’s a different culture.”  Living/working in the neighborhood doesn’t make you shit.  I normally don’t leave comments, but this was just so offensive I had to say something.  Again, I’m familiar with the concept that comedians should be exempt, but this is just racist bullshit.  Surely the event wasn’t designed to give a platform to that bigotry, but I had to say something.  Not okay.

    S&S Deli is in Inman Square, Pete, not Davis.  Get it the fuck together.

    Hey I was there! I was really bummed that Chris Thayer didn’t get as much chance to be a sharpshooter in this ep. Billy Wayne was hilarious, and that trio worked well, but honestly Kate and Mike were so weird (not bad!) that Chris didn’t get a chance to jump in anywhere.
    Fun time, would do again!
    Pro-tip to people who want to talk to Pete, go to his stand-up shows, because the wait time to talk to him is MUCH longer at the live YMIW shows. I got to chat with him for a while after he did stand-up because he was just hanging out in the back and there wasn’t a long line of people wanting pictures.

    Kate Berlant has wholly redefined Gaffigan’s Jesus “Thanks for the socks” joke. I would be thankful for the socks she hawks.

    normally the live episodes aren’t my favorite, but this one was great!

    Cutest Petey pic EVER

  9. Fun and interesting! I didn’t realize how much Pete pokes fun at the audience, I wonder if they ever turn on him!
