Pete Holmes

Comedian Pete Holmes shares the small ways his mom infused her
Lithuanian heritage through food, even if she wouldn’t talk much
about the home she knew before having to flee the country and
become a refugee. He’ll open up about his journey confronting
some dark parts of his past that helped him make better comedy.
Plus, we’ll get the recipe for his mom’s apple pie that might
look more like a cobbler.
