Comedian Alexis Gay (@yayalexisgay, Non-Technical Podcast) chats with Pete about just a delightful day spent with a friend in central park! We rank the alternative milks, talk MLMs and more, enjoy!
Comedian and Actor Gianmarco Soresi drops in to discuss strip clubs, sleepovers, and his torrid relationship with his first love in his high school play. Young love is a beautiful thing! Enjoy.
Comedian Janesh Rahlan comes out hot with the take that there is no such thing as a best day! We end up doing a nice lil meta-analysis of the meaning of a best day and generally have a fun convo, enjoy!
Comedian Marcus Williams is such a ray of sunshine! Marcus walks through an upcoming trip to DC and a recent, much needed trip to Cabo where he was able to regularly enjoy all of his ideal ingredients for a good day(minus Clay Thompson). Drinks are had, massages are massaged, and Marcus talks through a potential upcoming move to Honolulu. A delightful chat, enjoy!
Seattle Comedian and absolute sweetheart Bo Johnson regales Pete with tales of working at Duke's Chowderhouse and later of getting a group tattoo of the logo of said restaurant for personal, chowder-related gains. We also talk about various comedy-related things if you're into that, either way, enjoy!
First international episode baby! Comedian Orion Levine talks about ruining his dick right before an epic trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Korea in which his Airbnb is struck by lightning, everyone gets sick and other misfortunes! Despite all this, it's still a top tier trip and memory, and more importantly it's a blast to hear about! Also there's a slight fan noise at the beginning of the episode but it doesn't last long don't worry.
Fresh off the release of her album "We're Done Now" (it's great check it out!), Comedian Irene Tu talks about breakfast power rankings, basketball, Reggie Rocket, sleeping in and going on a trip to Hawaii with her mom! We had a blast on this one give it a listen!
Pete sits down with comedian Michael Longfellow (As seen on Conan, as already clear from the title of the episode) to talk about breakfast and doing his first ever set on late night television! Lines are missed, outfits are poorly chosen, and Sean Penn's handshake is ignored but none of those stopped this from being a banger day and a banger episode! Enjoy!
In this fun and trippy ep, San Diego Comedian Natasha Collier talks about the modern state of fast-casual dining as well as taking mushrooms at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam with her friend Cricket on Christmas day! This is a fun one because Pete has also done mushrooms at the Van Gogh museum but maintains little episodic memory of it so it's a good re-hash. Enjoy!
What a treat this episode is! Comedian and dear dear friend friend Jeff Dean comes onto The Best Day to talk about perhaps one of the worst best days that we've have yet, but one that still ends up being a best day (Jeff is now engaged!). This is our longest episode yet because we have so much fun, listen in and definitely don't follow Jeff on any social media @jeffdeancomedy he would hate that!
Bay Area comedian and producer Murahd Shawki comes on to discuss a Best Day of long pined-for love and romance on a trip with friends that ended up being supplanted by an even better Best Day of stand up comedy success! Also Murahd talks about several comedians he is going to be working with that he is concerned will be upset with him for past misgivings!
New York Comedian Steve Rogers (as seen on Colbert) has too many best days to choose from! After hashing proper bathroom conversation etiquette, Steve regales with tales of washing a real life elephant in Syracuse, receiving an encore for his elementary school performance as Rumpelstiltskin and the best moment of his life!
Friend of Pete's and founder of Meet Cute Podcasts Naomi Shah sits down to talk about a childhood day of skiing with her family! Rabbits, heartwarming moments and mild amounts of danger abound in this one, enjoy!
Coming off a funeral for a dear friend, Bay Area comedian Sureni Weerasekera has one of those days where it feels like everyone is looking out for you and everything is going your way, and it results in free Radiohead tickets! Hear all about this and listen through the end for a smoothie recipe that will up your burp game significantly.
Bay Area comedian and Twitch streamer Max Eddy is no longer single!! Max tells Pete about going through a rough year of medical issues and coming out of it with a wonderfully thoughtful surprise gift and not long after, a girlfriend!
Bay Area comedian Ian Levy has a hard time picking just one best day, and walks Pete through a childhood trip to the JellyBelly Factory, his father's wedding, his friend's wedding and a recent Saturday in which he ate chocolate cake for breakfast.
In the very first episode, Pete talks with dear friend, Bay Area comedian and writer for The Onion, Jordan Thewlis! Jordan walks Pete through a wonderful day at age 25 in Los Angeles involving workout classes, family, massages, tacos, Elton John and more!
