WHO LET HIM IN THE BUILDING?!
Delighted to see America's finest on Trash Taste!
Hiii Chris!
He breached and he preached :>
Stood outside staring in until they let him in out of pity
Mr. Affable is here!
ayo chris
Holy fuck, Pete's storytelling is so good. Can't stop listening to all of them. I hope Pete comes back as a recurring guest just like Chris.
the new fabled 5th member? Foretold by the ancient Oracles?
I hope they get the old JP youtubers like Gimmeabreakman, Hikosaemon, Ghost of Matsubara, KazukoinJapan, Unrested and ThatJapaneseGirl among so many!
@Androvsky I do as well! That would be very interesting! But tbh if they don't speak pretty decent English, idk if it could work, sadly. I'm sure Joey doesn't wanna translate the whole episode. If anything, maybe Joey will collaborate with them. It seems he has been doing more collaborations with Japanese YTers lately
HAHAH I READ THAT AS "JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST"
Would be fun to have both Pete and Chris in the same episode someday. Maybe a bit of a tight squeeze in the studio, they'd have to get an extra mic from somewhere, but that would become one legendary episode. :D
This man does every Yakuza sidequest he come across
This man is the inspiration for most the Yakuza side quest
Honestly, it's quite the experience go like that.
Easily the best guest on the Podcast. They need to get him on an After Dark special or something. Make him a game show host.
Great idea
That would be awesome.
have him on at the end to get people to tidy up after longer after dark streams
tied with ladybeard
Absolutely. I wasn't even planning to watch this but it came on on autoplay and I was quickly captivated by his storytelling. Great guy!
The man, the myth, the legend. The man with a million stories has finally made it into the show!
Yup and this time he's not interrupted by "almost annoying" TTS.
Premiere who?
Just kidding, we love pete
WE PAY IN FULL!
Yes, we got him boys!
Stole my comment. Damn. ^.^
This man isn’t a gem, he is the whole treasure trove. His backstory is more interesting than most media now
Nah bro, mans the whole goddamn mine
Yep
He has a very great comedy. His setup and payoff, and especially his timing. I love his timing of jokes. His improv is also good
@@grimsladeleviathan3958 for real. Especially when he starts going in on one thing and then immediately backpedals (intentionally). The way he does makes me laugh every time lol
I can’t like this comment enough!
Pete is literally TOO likeable. He needs his own TV show!
Nah tv is trash
He did have one on NHK.
Bradly Cooper’s fun cousin 😅
so you mean he is the true Mr.Affable?
ex-JET here and I can 100% confirm you are ridiculed constantly for teaching English in Japan. I think this entire episode was a therapy session for me though haha it was both revisiting my past trauma and made me hilariously miss it
Bro its only ridicule if you take it that way and let it affect you, cmon man have some backbone dont let others opinions bother you broski.
What year were you JET?
How were you ridiculed?
Stop regurgitating bullshit. Teachers like doctors are highly respected jobs in Japan. You are tasked with educating the youth of Japan and they address you as "sensei" and look up to you. You'll get more respect as a teacher in Japan than a software developer behind an office.
Ridicule is what you do when you are an incompetent. People who want to learn English in Japan learn it well.
Usually boys have to pull the guest with questions to keep narration going. But this time, oh boy. Peter is so good he literally took the show on himself, hosts just blended into background. Great stuff.
He is more like a jukebox which contains countless stories
It's PremierTwo After Dark
Pete is a very good story teller haha.
Nilered was the same I think.
he's so fun to listen to, ngl
i feel like checking him out
Thank you for having me on the show. I had SUCH a good time.
Now I’m hungry to begin my anime arc and I’m starting with Gokus Fate:/:Grand Order or whatever LETS GOOOO
You did great!
Well done man, great job! Loved the episode
You have a great way of expressing yourself!
RIZZLER
I love how Peter has just about every weeb trait and hobby except for watching anime.
Why watch it when you've lived it I guess. 😆
@@kaydoubleu5802anime isn’t real life tho
The man's a comedy anime protagonist himself.
CONGRATULATIONS PETE FOR THE TRIPLE AWARD
PETE SWEEPPP
@@shirleywong9954 PETR SWEEP
PETTER SWEPPER
I hope he appears again
Pete motherfucking sweep, he got that triple W
Peter is so charismatic and funny AF. How is he not a straight up comedian?? This whole podcast felt like one long unintentional stand-up routine. Loved it.
@@gho5trun3r68 I got a hilarious amount of Chris Farley energy from Peter in that video. His personality is great
I don't know about comedian but he should definitely be a way bigger online personality. He does seem to be getting more exposure lately tho, thanks to Chris and the boys
@@mannychen He's like Will Neff's long lost brother.
@@sayantanmazumdar3 YES i knew he was reminding me of someone but i couldnt figure it out
dudes awesome
This is one of the best episodes of Trash Taste, and it's basically just Pete telling stories for 2 hours straight
Heeey i didnt know you watched trash taste too 🙌 love your stuff
just added your newest video to my watch later, nice to see you here
Hey Lextorias love your content
This man is the definition of how we all can make bad decisions (or what feels like it in the moment) and persevere and grow from it, get some awesome stories and make sure it pans out in the end. This man needs a show of his life, ASAP
Doesnt seem like he made any major bad decisions tho. He's a risk taker for sure, but things turns out for the better in the end. Imo that theatre degree help because he is extremely charismatic and a good storyteller. most teachers are dull, expat or local.
@@meia1855 just dipping to a foreign country without knowing anyone and nothing concrete set in motion is not a bad decision to you?
@M e i a Yeah, that's why I wrote (seemingly at the moment). However, he does mention a lot of experience that were hard and I'm sure that if given the chance to redo it all, he probably would do some things the same, but also change a lot
This is one of the few episodes of Trash Taste that I've actually watched from end to end. Pete really is just a wealth of life experiences, isn't he
Do you feel the Same about their previous episodes ? Boring and just talk about the same things, the guest's backstory and their storues on general are just boring and the same with other people, mostly those famous streamer.......sorry my english
@@ilhamseptian1604 yes. There are a few that were good. Nile red was also a series of funny and wacky stories. Pete should be a reinvite
so true
This is a classic trashtaste episode but the guests are Joey, Garnt, and Conor, and Peter is just hosting the show for them to enjoy. What a great and genuine guy with such fascinating stories and talks to not make us bored.
Never knew Peter had such an interesting backstory!
Pete's and Lady Beard's personality would take up the whole room.
Reminds me of noriyaro episode! All the middle aged guests always have the most interesting stories to tell!
@@Mrzacman5001 I've been listening for a few months but THERE'S A NORIYARO EPISODE? Gotta get on that!
@@Magnosummit Yeah he's one of their earlier guests.
The world really said "Let this man cook" and Peter does not dissapoint with his story
His life is like a 5-course meal, just when you think you're done he hits you with another one even crazier than the last.
What?
@@jubbalubby What?
Honestly I come back to this video every couple of months. His stories are so absurd and told so masterfully and hilariously. I wish he had a channel just telling personal stories.
funny enough that he rarely tells story in his stream but more playing improv and acting
All his stories are dispersed in his or other people's channels. A notable one is "pay in full" in one of Connor's IRL nightlife stream where he went to a pong bar.
I just couldn't fucking take away my attention for even 2 seconds while hearing this podcast because of how insane peter's stories are. Best episode ever man.
Peter is usually a side characters on foreigners in youtube community from Chris Broad, Trash Taste, Connor's, Garnt's, and Joey's channel. I'm so glad we got to know him a lot more on this video. He is very genuine, charismatic, and very entertaining guy.
I started watching Pete's streams a good week ago, and man, do I love him. He's very good at improving and making jokes too
The 3 bois were the side characters on this one hahaha
Pete needs to blow up ASAP!!
Wherever Peter goes, he is the topic.
Pete is the guest who comes in, speaks, and makes everyone shut up with his stories, and I love him for it.
He's the Chris DiStefano of Japan
WE PAID IN FULL
As one of your oldest fans, not related to y'all, I have enjoyed Pete's story as it seemed all of you did. So I figured you might enjoy my story of 10+ years earlier.
I graduated Uni in 1991; Japanese minor; 4 years of Japanese. Got a salaryman job with what is now Kyocera (Then Mita) that started Jan 1992. I had home stayed in Kobe summer 89.
Like Pete, I had no visa and was held at airport until Mita came to get me. Fun. They took me to Mita dorm 1.5 hour train from HQ near the castle. The dorm was horrible, but area beautiful and I was so far out, I'd get a seat on train every day 😊
Anyway, I was a salaryman for 1.5 years. They never let me do anything, so eventually I left to teach. I had move to foreigner dorm in the city which was great. My friends got me in with Nova English school and I was there for a year and a half. Teaching there is actually pretty good; not the horror show some experience. You would have 6/7 lessons (1hr) and one hour free conversation. You had a textbook based on levels and your 3 students could be anywhere from 10 to 80. I luckily taught at Namba, so I was walking distance from Dotonbori. Tip: Once I got my bicycle, everything was so much better.
I laughed at Pete not having a phone. We didn't even have Internet 😊. I literally had to wait 3 days for newspaper to get sports scores. My dorm was one room tatami, with mini Genkan/kitchen. But enough room for 25" Big Box TV and superfamicon. Floor bathroom with Japanese toilets and 100 yen for warm water shower. Floor mates with people all over the world. As I spoke Japanese, Everytime the phone rang, there could be a knock on my door to translate 😂
If ya wanna know what it looked like, go to Chris's studio. THAT WAS MY EXACT PHONE 😮😮😮
And yes, I lived through the Denki town era of Osaka in the emergence of the tech world. PCs were starting, giant game centers everywhere, famicin games new and used all over. I'd spend day after day wondering around finding cool Japanese games we would play back at Orange House. Even beat one Zelda in Japanese.
And y'all feel old😢. Thanks for all you do cuz it's amazing to relive my time in Japan vicariously thru you.
You should make videos about your experience! This sounds incredible
Congrats for winning the best episode of Trash Taste Season 3!
This is what happens when you roll a nat 20 on charisma. Pete is such an amazing orator.
Seriously I remember seeing him first on abroad in Japan and was shocked when I checked the description and he didn’t have a channel he was just naturally charismatic
I swear, shit's like magic, it's to the point where it's almost scary how entertaining the guy is. You could absolutely lose an entire damn day just talking with him without even realizing time had passed at all.
@@Nightstick24 kinda scary isnt it? Like all the host just follow the flow with smile on their face
@@Nightstick24 its not charisma, or magic, its having a non-monotone voice, speaking clearly, not too fast not too slow and keeping it concise.
@@ilhamseptian1604 The others dont have the same life experience and confidence, plus they speak monotone and stay behind a PC all day. Garnt tries to sound and act like a native British person, but it comes across as a foreigner try harding a posh British accent...
"There's nothing worse than being left alone with your thoughts, on a beautiful day", beautiful phrase by Pete, what a nice and interesting guy, I loved his histories.
Pete with his casual unforeseen dark sentences lol
I bet he had some of his worst days of his life doing all kinds of shit but all the experiences good and bad has turned him into such a charismatic person. Such an optimistic guy. Really loved his energy.
Hands down, this is one of my top 5 favourite episodes of Trash Taste. I binged it and didn't even realize how much time had passed. Peter is so charismatic and fun to watch, plus he has great chemistry with the guys.
Hoping Peter even more success in his career going forward, you deserve it man!
PEEETTTTEEE. So glad he came on the show. The man is a natural storyteller.
God dam the guy has great comedic timing as well
My exact reaction to this as well
Do you mean Petter?
Garnt too
@@mechashadow he should start podcast PremierPetter
Pete is probably the definition of "the best teacher that you've ever had." He certainly reminds me of my favorite teacher in high school.
Clearly, he is a natural in storytelling; and you could tell he has lots of experience in public speaking.
Whenever Pete tells a story, time flies like 4x faster. Is that just me?
I don't think I've ever laughed this hard at a trash taste episode. Pete's stories are insanely entertaining.
right? I actually had to pause a few times cause I couldn't breath from laughing so much, the dude is such a fantastic storyteller!
Love, love, LOVE this episode.
Pete's stories gave me an ab workout from laughing so hard.
What an interesting man, one of the top guests they've had on. Great episode, could have kept listening.
One of the best episodes recently
Absolutely. Fucking incredible guest.
💯 Agreed! Also you're videos are absolutely terrifying.
yep, one of the only times I felt like I could have kept watching and listening for another 2 hours. Great guy, very interesting, I hope wee see him again sometime
@@javi4591 thanks
this is like the only episode i've rewatched, Pete is just such a legend
This guy is an excellent storyteller. I've rewatched it 4 times now.
Same😂 It never gets old
Pete seriously needs to be a recurring guest from now on. One of the most fun Trash Taste guest they've had so far!
When he said "I was so young (looks at Garnt) well I was thirty one..." I legit spat out my drink, killed me
1:15:54 for anyone wondering
@@janczy9206 wow
I am 31 and it def feels like adulthood is just beginning.
@@billythenarwhal1579I'll be turning 31 this year... I agree with you. It's like, I no longer have to prove my maturity. I'm grown, plain and simple. It's not a good thing IMO, but it's too late.
@Bluemilk92 I love being an adult, as long as my bills are paid can't nobody tell me shit.
I'm one hour into the podcast, and it felt like only 20 minutes past by. Holy hell Pete is such an amazing guest, I hope he becomes a regular as frequent as Chris
Yeah couldn’t believe it was already over after 2 hours. Need more of Pete and the boys
he'll be the 5th unofficial member hahaha
I agree 100% . Pete and Chris every week . I'd love British Pete and more Ladybeard
He's an amazing storyteller!
He's gonna replace Dave as the secret 4th member of the podcast. Kidding, but all that aside, I agree.
Never heard of this man but holy shit what a dude. He's been through one hell of an experience and its incredible to hear. Easily one of my favorite guests. Great stuff guys!
This is the best guest ever. So charismatic with stories that are second to none, and he can tell them like no one else.
Goddamn this 2 hour episode felt like 20 minutes, Peter is freaking hilarious! I think he attracted so many opportunities because of how funny and charismatic he is, and he has the ability to tell them in the most thrilling way possible. The PE story had me in tears. Please have Peter again, and for a 5 hour episode next time!
legit bro, I'm 8 minutes in, that time just evaporates. My sandwich is missing and I don't know where it went...
fr the time just went off quick
I know right. He's so awesome
petter's amazing yea
finally, a recognition trash taste deserves. PremierTwo is such a nice guy collabing with small creators like our boys.
So so true
Truly blessed as a consumer 😌🙏

I first saw Pete on Abroad in Japan’s channel and was instantly blown away by his storytelling skills and natural charisma. So glad he was invited as a guest for Trash Taste! It was so enjoyable I was actually disappointed when I got to the end. Thanks for having him on! I hope he can come back sometime ❤
I'm not a regular of this podcast but damn, that guy knows how to keep his listeners engaged.
Yes! Big fan of Peter, charisma game is unreal 🎉🎉
damn john here too, love the skates
Please his name is Petter

ahh, excuse me, his name is Petter. He used to work with children.
Show some respect.
Finally a guest to rival Ladybeard's energy. We pay in full!
Right? I thought of him immediately!
now imagine both of them together in this podcast.. i think garnt's mouth would start foaming at the first 2 tangents 😂
Pete's energy is definitely high but it's not ladybeard high. However what he lacks in energy, he makes up for in stories and experiences.
I bet those two can't be in same room. It creates nuclear energy explosion... Or the cancel each other out into some vacuum of space. Something too epic that destroys everything. xD

Well deserved to won the Trash Taste Award!
This episode was great change of pace to the usual Trash Taste episode.
Invite Pete again, please!
This could be a 5 hour podcast an Pete wouldn't run out of interesting stories... A legend
The man has worked at more jobs than I can even name and he didn't even mention every single one of them in this episode. His streams are truly wild.
Peter is Forest Gumping his way through life and I love hearing every moment of it.
My favorite comment so far
My god I just realized he really is living like Forrest. I mean, eikaiwa and 'nam, what's the difference at this point? Well, minus the no more money problems part I guess
He is ridicilously charismatic
Listening to Pete's stories really comfort me during my trying times. Pete is my spirit animal
Pete learning the plot of Fist of the North Star through Pachinko is pretty much the same as Connor learning the plot of Star Wars through the Lego games
Its like how there are some people who loosely know a vague idea of the dragonball universe by watching DBZA.
He is such a great storyteller. This might have been the best episode in Trase Taste.
for sure one of the funniest, have never laughed this much on a TT ep yet, i had to catch my breath a few times. can't believe how funny and entertaining pete can be sometimes! But I gotta give the no.1 spot to mr affable still lol
Peter seems to be the epitome of “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
Pete is the perfect combination of goofy and boomer and humor. Love this guy 😍
Hey now, that's a GenXer if I've ever seen one. I am what some would call an Xennial and have grown up with a GenX older brother who is exactly like him (but less entertaining to listen to, and Italian).

Pete's not a teacher. Pete is a STAR. Seriously, he is truly a charismatic storyteller, and one of the best snake oil salesman I've ever seen :)
man, for anyone interested in Japan this was a GOLDEN interview, tnks a lot guys, Pete is awesome!
I don't think I've ever watched an entire episode, it's always running in the background but peter had me chewing on my nails waiting for what comes next in the story. Amazing story teller, he's one of my favorite guests so far.
Pete has such a great way of telling his stories that this is the first episode I found myself getting slightly annoyed when the boys interrupt him or make comments that break the flow of his story. Like, "Shut the fuck up and let Pete finish!" 🤣
Never heard of this guy before, but I'm definitely going to tune in to whatever he got going on. He is so charming and charismatic and a masterful storyteller. Props to the boys for introducing such wonderful people to us
If you want some more, he shows up on Abroad in Japan a few times. The trip to Japan's most Northern point is a real treat.
He is one of the most wholesome guy
Isn’t he on the Cycling Special too? That’s where I saw him first.
1:21:05 : they're both blue!
Search 'Premier Two' on RUclips and Twitch, that's his channels.
In the defense of Japan for the teachers changing schools every 5 years policy, in my country, Malaysia, we also have the same policy for all teachers teaching in public schools. My elementary school teacher told me it was to give every student a chance and give every teacher a fair experience. If every teacher could choose where they'd like to teach, no sane human being would willingly choose the worst school to teach at except for unmotivated teachers. This would create inequality treatment for students and teachers who got the short end of the stick
never heard about that, my teacher stays at my school for 20 plus years. even one of her students became a teacher at the school and taught me
@@ame5963 probably a private school
@@potsuaye69 don't know what private school is, but its a boarding school
My favorite guest by far! 83 kid growing up in the 90’s having lived in Japan and the US. Flood of nostalgia. That was awesome!
To be honest this is one of the best episodes of Trash Taste, Thank you everyone for the good time you gave us
One of the best episodes of Trash Taste so far. We need more of this petter guy.

Listening to this again, I realized that pointless meetings is a common across countries. When I taught here in the U.S., there were so many pointless and mind-numbing meetings.
Holy shit this episode was so good, it's easily one of my favourites now. Pete is just such a great guy
You know Pete is a good story teller if he talks like for 80% of the podcast and everybody loves it.
When I first saw Pete a year ago, I didn't know if I would warm to him. But after that livestream with Connor and Chris, the one where Pete showed up and totally made the night, I now like Pete a lot and consider him the best of the bunch
idk why but this oozes parasocial vibes to me
@@jedour865 you need to look up what parasocial means my guy
@@tylionn he speaks about them like they're his friends, that's the tone im getting. why should I look up a term I use correctly
@@tylionn true
True but you're using it in a extreme way. To me it isn't super parasocial because he's just saying he wasn't sure about this guy at first.... In the way you're using it every interaction would be parasocial.
I'm so glad there's this whole social circle of great CCs who collab and hang out together. From Chris and Natsuki, to Joey and Connor, with Pete and Norm, it's been great seeing the group get stronger and larger over these past few years!
rewatching cause...pete sweep!
Finally a guest who can match Ladybeards story telling skills. I'm almost jealous for people who heard his stories for a first time. This made me think that I should say YES more often to opportunities life throws at me. My life could become at least half as interesting as Petes. Great episode. His next stream will be wild.
My older brother is an English teacher in Hiroshima via the JET program, and according to him things are much better than they used to be. The pay still sucks but his students love him, and several of them have won English Speech Competitions and personally thanked him afterwards for helping them prepare. Maybe his experience is unique, but he really feels like he’s helping these students and making a difference.
Peter talked about more of the positive experiences he had teaching on 1 of his streams after this released.
Abroad in Japan podcast he talks more about his fun experiences too
He already mentioned that the bad experiences came from outside of JET programs.
the pay will never be any better than most salary jobs in the west, but I think the experience for most is definitely worth it.
@Commando Lemon63 the pay is on par with US pay for teachers, actually. However, the pay for any medical bills in Japan would be thousands of magnitudes cheaper than if you were in the states, even with insurance.
This is the only episode I've rewatched several times just because Pete's stories are so entertaining
Loved listening to Pete's story about teaching abroad. Towards the end of the story he sounded just like me and my colleagues who teach high school in the states. I find it funny that almost every teacher i know have a history of performing. Its part of the job, just depends on the level as to how much. As someone also born in the 80s its great how he is able to add to the things he does based on his unique experiences.
This was straight up one of the best Trash Taste episodes ever.
The way Peter tells stories is just so easy to listen to for hours...
And he thinks that theater degree is worthless, dude somehow intentionally min max charisma without knowing
Absolutely all time favorite episode yet! I’m so so glad that you guys had Peter on here. He is so inspiring and wonderful and deserves to have people to talk to that want to hear his stories. Thanks for making this such a nice easy listen. You guys are killin it as usual!
I loved the ending section where Peter just pointed at the random figures around the room being like "Is that Snow White? Is that Ashita no Joe?" and trying to guess characters with the very limited and vague anime knowledge that he has. And all the conversations that spawned from that. That was a lot of fun.
Peter was an amazing guest, great episode!
Having Pete on the podcast is such a no brainer! Man's really knows how to tell stories.
the dude was born for this shit lol they have to get him back on again!
Honestly if there was ever to be a fourth host it's Pete.
@Justin Jesalva what about Mr affable??
Peter needs to be a recurring guest like Chris. This man's stories are unmatched!
fuck yeah would love to see more of pete on TT
Lost count of how many times I’ve boshed this episode. Pete is a legend!!!
I’ve watched this episode so many times and I never get tired of Pete telling all the stuff he experienced, he’s such a great story teller
Pete's charisma is so good! I was hooked for the entirety of this episode. He needs to come back as a guest again.
I wish this episode is 4 hours or more Pete is such a goldmine of stories
Holy hell, that was so much fun. What an interesting person! Thanks for having him on, I clicked on the video intending to watch 10 or 15 minutes right now, then finish it off later, as usual, but I couldn't stop. It felt like this flew by in 20 minutes because it was so entertaining and interesting, Pete's lived such a completely different life from myself, and had so many completely foreign experiences that it's just fascinating, I could easily listen to hours and hours more of him talking about his life.
That's the most engaged I've felt in I don't even know how long, thank you guys for having him on, I likely wouldn't have ever stumbled across such an absolute gem. This was truly a joy to watch, I had so much fun it's unreal, thanks for the treat!
I totally slept on this episode when it came out but I’m so glad I came back and watched it. This was a really interesting ep. This guy is a great storyteller and is so likable!
Not only has Pete gone through and survived a ton of interesting and wacky experiences, the way he tells these stories and even crack jokes in between is phenomenal. This easily could have been a 4 hour trash taste episode and I wouldn't even notice.
I think thats why people say to leave your comfort zone and try difficult things. Builds character and probably anything he does from here on seems easier
Gahlee his storytelling is insane. It didn't feel like 2 hours at all. This episode is a 100/100 🔥
right? the last while the episodes have been rather boring and i found myself not finishing most of them but with Pete it was over before I knew it and I just wanted more lol i really hope they bring him on again and chris soon as well!
That theater degree is paying off
I normally listen to the podcast on Spotify but this episode was just so good I had to come to the RUclipss and comment we need more of this man on the podcast please have him again
peter is such an amazing storyteller!! the way he speaks feels very immersive and comforting, like he's that cool uncle that you get excited when he visits cause he has the funniest, most bizarre stories to tell. they're nice to hear as like you can see how much growth has happened within the teaching industry and idk just super entertaining! thank you trash taste for having him on and hope he can come back sometime :3
You could let him talk for hours and hours and there wouldnt be a dull moment. Such a charming and fun guy.
That's exactly what happened in this video lol. Dude literally just talked for 2 hours straight and was entertaining as hell.
The podcast flew by, Pete was a phenomenal guest!
The Best Episode of the year my friends
3rd time listening to this in full. This is such a great conversation to have playing in the background while cleaning. Love pete.
Pete is an absolute joy to listen to. Truly a phenomenal entertainer.
Pete is always entertaining but goddamn he is MADE for this format. He should start a podcast (if he doesn’t already do that).
4th member?????
He has a basketball podcast with his friend Ian called magic on the blacktop
@@Mystelblade Him and Chris can chessbox for the fourth spot.
@@dylanhemer wtf
I've rewatched this episode so many times now and the key takeaway from this episode is....
THE HEAVENS HAVE SPOKEN AND THE PETE EPISODE IS GOATED
THE DELETION AND CREATION
This episode is oftentimes popping up in my recommendation or always the next video to play after watching a TT episode and I am not even mad! This episode is one of my faves. Pete's just funny and his story telling is so good! Wishing for another Pete as guest in the future.
I literally gasped with happiness and excitement when I saw Pete was the guest! 🥳
Same!
Had this faint hope he'd one day show up as a guest. Never thought he actually would, and so soon!
