You made it with. Oh, yeah, you made it with. Yes, you did. You made it weird with Pete Holmes. What's happening, weirdos? Happy, happy new year. Happy 2023. What a great way for us to start off the year with an incredible, fun, delightful conversation with the incredible, funny and delightful all Otsuko Okotka. Atsuko is amazing. She currently has a special which is awesome. It's. It's called the Intruder. It is on hbo Max. You gotta check it out. She is one of the most unique, interesting and funny people I've met and talked to and had the pleasure of watching live in recent memory. And I'm so glad that she sat down to make it weird. If you guys are stand up, if you guys are standup comedy fans and you'd like to see me do standup comedy, why not come to a show, to a live show? The next Largo is go to largo-la.com. there's always a Largo show happening. The next one, I believe. Yep. Is on January 10th. There'll be one in February as well. Just go to largo-la.com if you'd like to come to that. If you don't live in the Los Angeles area and you'd like to see me, I am going to be next in San Francisco on January 12, followed by Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Charlotte and Washington D.C. we are going to be adding a bunch more tour dates. I love this new hour. I'm loving taking it on the road. Always means so much if weirdos are there. Links to all of those are@pete holmes.com super simple, super easy. Also, we only have one Pete's pick here, up top. And it's one of my absolute favorites. If you're watching the video, I'm pointing to it right, right now is the Apollo Neuro. And if you're like me, the holidays can be stressful. I'm one of those people that gets a little bit overwhelmed with all of the people, all the presents, all the planning, all the parties. And I have been swearing and leaning on my Apollo Neuro even more than I normally do. For those of you that don't know it's not a watch, people often think it's a watch. Val wears hers on her ankle. I wear mine on the inside of my wrist. Apollo Neuro is a piece of wearable tech that, that delivers soothing, gentle vibrations that are interpreted by your nervous system basically as a hug. It's basically touch therapy that you wear. You barely notice it. In fact, you can set it so low that you definitely won't notice it, but your nervous system responds, basically, if I can feel this, I must be safe. And it is like wearing a hug. It's like wearing something that can energize you. Often in the late afternoon after I pick Leela up from school, I am dragging, but I don't want to drink coffee because I stay stays in my system and makes it impossible to sleep. Energy and wake up is a setting on the Apollo that I don't talk about a lot. I usually just mention that it's great for during workouts, which it is, but it's also great when you're just craving espresso. But maybe you don't want to drink more coffee. You put it on energy and wake up and you start to feel it getting into your body, getting into your heartbeat and adrenalizing you. It is incredible and an incredible tool for parents and also just people that need to avoid that mid afternoon crash. Similarly, for the holidays, we had a lot of people over. I had it rocking on social and open. I had it on clear and focused when I was doing this podcast. Rebuild and Recover is awesome for after workouts or just stressful situations like for me after everybody leaves the party, put on Rebuild and Recover. Feel more safe, more in control because of this wearable hug for my nervous system. Relax and unwind is awesome for during flights or or at night when you're watching a movie and you just want to kind of pre, pre, pre get ready for bed really helps start lulling your nervous system into that feeling of security that is awesome for deep restful sleep. And also when I get in bed, I put it on Sleep and Renew, which as I always mention, is a real game changer. Not only does it help you fall asleep, but if you get up in the middle of the night, you can just push the buttons on the Apollo and it'll rerun the program. So if you're having a hard time like I do sometimes, 3 3am you wake up, you start thinking about the next day, you start getting all distracted. Just hit the Apollo. It's got you. It's gonna literally lull you back to sleep. Tell your body in a language it can understand. You're safe, everything's okay, let's go to sleep. Or you're safe, everything's okay. Let's create some energy or you're safe, everything's okay, let's meditate. There's also a meditation setting which I absolutely love. I always mention it's not woo Woo. This is not sold in crystal shops. It was developed by a neuroscientist and a board certified psychiatrist who have been studying the impacts of chronic stress for nearly 15 years. And Apollo's effects on stress, sleep, cognitive performance and recovery have been proven in multiple clinical trials and real world studies. And I'm saying for me and Val, we've had them now for years. I will turn around if I've I recently I told this last time I drove away from the house, realized I didn't have my Apollo. I was 10 minutes away. I turn back, it's that good. It's 30 minutes. Good. I'll go back and get it because it's that important to my day. So give it a try.
