Summary
In this episode, Pete and Chris discuss their experiences with finding free items on the Buy Nothing Facebook group. They also talk about their love for music and the value of attending concerts. The conversation then shifts to the affordability of traveling to Europe compared to domestic trips in the US. They share their desire to visit iconic locations and attend concerts in Dublin, London, and Glasgow. They also touch on the appeal of historical sites and museums over theme parks like Disney. Pete decided to pursue stand-up comedy again at the age of 46 after a hiatus. The inspiration came from a text message from his ex, which made him realize he didn't care about her opinion anymore. His family has been supportive, and they plan around his open mic nights. Some of the challenges Pete faced starting comedy later in life include not having a support system, dealing with offensive comments from other comedians, and balancing his responsibilities as a dad. He overcame these challenges by finding a supportive partner, meal planning, and not caring about what others think.

He shares his experiences dealing with dismissive audiences and the importance of support from fellow comedians. Pete also talks about his journey in honing his comedy skills, from watching comedy specials as a child to finding his own style on stage. He emphasizes the need to keep expectations realistic and to stay grounded while pursuing a dream later in life. Pete's goals for the future include performing at the Edinburgh Festival and doing small shows in different locations.
