This episode's a gem—Peter and comedian Tom Rhodes join forces for a co-episode airing on both their podcasts recorded in Amsterdam! It's two storytellers swapping tales about travel, comedy, and the chaos of life.

Tom reflects on his time hosting a Dutch late-night show (as Kevin Masters, of all names), fumbling through cultural quirks, and falling in love with Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Peter reflects on how seeing Tom take the leap to live abroad inspired his own journey to Amsterdam, turning a pipe dream into a reality.

Then there's his Hooray for Humanity vibe. Even with all the chaos in the world, Tom's still finding reasons to believe in people. He draws inspiration from Voltaire's Candide, which is about someone stumbling through the mess of life but holding onto hope. That's kind of Tom's whole thing: seeing the mess, laughing at it, and still loving humanity.

They dig into:

• The beauty of just trying to live a chill, happy life no matter where you're from.
• The magic of Amsterdam as a tiny village with the energy of a global city.
• How humor (and tattoos) can cut through cultural walls and bring people together.
• Humor crosses every border, and travel opens you up to just how similar we all are.
• Shut-the-heck-up day in Bali? Genius. We should all try it.

Tom's vibe from his solo show Hooray for Humanity shines throughout—hopeful, funny, and unapologetically real. It's a conversation about finding joy and connection, even when the world's a mess.

If you're into wild stories, smart humor, and some honest reflection, this one's for you. Keep an eye out for Tom's upcoming special The Ripest Zebras and dive into Peter's work—tattoos, creativity, and all.

Two voices, one great conversation. Listen now.
