Show notes

Remember that real parenthood, real family life, isn’t the curated illusion on your Instagram feed. It’s not pristine homes, it’s not spotless designer furniture, and it’s definitely not easy.

Pete Holmes Has a Message for Every Parent Dec 13, 2025

Show notes

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.
