Jennette McCurdy | You Made It Weird

You made it weird. You made it weird. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. You made it weird. Yes, you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it
weird. With Pete Holmes. Yes, you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah.
What's happening weirdos? This is the return. The return episode. It was like
seven years ago that Jeanette McCurdy, the incredible Jeanette McCurdy did this
podcast. But Katie made me aware of her new book, which is called I'm Glad My
Mom Died. And obviously I was like, what? I got to read this. Checked it out.
Actually, I listened to the audio book. It's unbelievable. It's incredible. She's
so talented. She's so wonderful. I was like, we have to have her back on the
podcast.
So definitely check out I'm Glad My Mom Died as an audio book is how I did it.
Katie read the book book. Either way, same words, but her performance is really,
really great. She's so talented. So this is an incredible chat. Obviously we joked
in this episode that it's like perfect for the holidays because there's a lot
of talk about how difficult family dynamics can be in relationships like that
and how to mend them and how to heal them. And anyway, it's really wonderful
chat. One of my favorites in a long time. So let's get to it as quickly as
possible.
So this episode will be on YouTube, but because of some technical difficulties,
the video didn't work out. We're just releasing it as audio on YouTube and also
as an audio podcast. So that's, I don't know. I just wanted, I didn't want you
to be confused, but you can still watch it on YouTube if that's, if that's how
you fuck with podcasts.
If you'd like to see me live doing standup comedy, come go, come go to PeteHolmes.com.
Some new dates are also about to be added, but right now you can go for tickets
to San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Washington, DC.
And I'd also like to point out that it being the holiday season, it's a
wonderful time to treat yourself or someone you love to a Pete's pick. Like I'm
holding it right here. Magic mind. It's always here on my desk. You hear me
offer it to the guests because I loved magic mind.
And first I reached out to them, my dear friend, James Bashar, it's how we
became friends, uh, is the developer of magic mind. I loved it. Then I reached
out and was like, you guys got to sponsor the podcast, get a promo code to the
weirdos.
So the love was first. That's super important because this is the product that
has changed my life the most in recent years. I absolutely, absolutely swear by
it. And if you've tried it recently or, or never tried it, I'd like to point
out, they just put out a new version.
It's version 4.0, which tastes even better. Uh, it's less shaking required,
meaning the matcha that's in this drink, you don't have to shake it as much. It
gets mixed up easier and it gets into your system faster, meaning you feel the
effects.
Faster. So I already loved it, but they're always working on it, tweaking it,
improving it. And version 4.0 is now available. And I absolutely love it. You
maybe heard me on, we made it weird. I drank one and talked about the new taste,
but that was the first time. And now I'm hooked on version 4.0.
If you don't know what it is, it's a magical elixir that makes you focus better
on your work, be more creative and drink less coffee. In fact, you drink it
with your coffee because it has adaptogens in it and adaptogens round the edges
of stress.
Sometimes coffee can make you a little stress. This rounds out that experience
and makes it just pure, clean, creative energy. It's a mix of 12 functional
ingredients, including, as I mentioned, matcha, nootropics that help you focus
and adaptogens. As I mentioned, help you fight off stress.
Everybody has, you know, athletes, everybody. Athletes have Gatorade. We jokingly
call this creatorade. It's creatorade. You take it with your coffee or on its
own, which is often what I do, for a sharper mind, steady energy, immune
support, and less stress.
You get 30% more done on average, five to seven hours of 30% more productivity
after drinking. It doesn't get you wired. This is the biggest point. It doesn't
get you wired or jittery. It gets you dialed in, which makes it your creator's
best friend.
You try it 15 minutes before you're doing something and you just have so much
more ease getting into that flow state, getting into that dialed in state.
Fights off some ADD symptoms, procrastination, brain fog, and fatigue. I
absolutely love it. I swear by it. Give it a try. Perfect way to support the
show.

It's also brought to us by our friends, which I'm also wearing. This is my
Apollo Neuro. I was just leaving for LA the other day and realized I wasn't
wearing my Apollo. It was charging.
And I turned around. I was like 10 minutes away from my house. I turned around,
came back to the house just to get my Apollo. It is a wearable piece of
technology.
A lot of people think it's a watch or something like a whoop. It is not. It is
way better than either of those things because it sends gentle vibrations
directly into your nervous system.
Basically speaking to your nervous system in the language of touch, which is
the language that it can understand. It's basically a wearable hug. It's like a
robo hug.
They could have called it robo hug, like robot hug. Who has time for that T? A
lot of who has that time jokes in this intro.
But it gives your nervous system the signal that it is okay and that it is
supported. It's like a weighted blanket that you wear all the time, helping you
feel safe and in control.
It delivers those gentle, almost sub-perceptual, meaning you don't notice it,
but you notice the effects of these vibrations that train your nervous system
to recover and rebalance after stress.
Also, one of the settings is called sleep and renew. As I'm older now, I get up
more in the night to go pee-pee.
When I get back in bed, sometimes it's hard to fall back asleep. I just hit
these two buttons on the Apollo.
It runs that program again, sleep and renew, and literally lulls me gently back
to sleep by basically establishing a pattern and then slowing that pattern down,
and then you're off.
They have the opposite of that, which is energy and wake up.
Social and open is also a more upbeat sensation, helps you get into those group
modes, into that creative mode.
Clear and focus has been shown to help fight off symptoms of ADD.
Rebuild and recover is what I put it on after stressful things like flights or
difficult phone calls or meetings.
Relax and unwind, we call it the try-to-stay-awake setting.
That's what I have it on at night when I'm watching TV or reading, getting
ready for bed, and as I mentioned, sleep and renew.
Apollo Neuro works better the more you use it.
It's not woo-woo, as I always point out. This isn't like a crystal.
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.
So don't just take it from me.
This is the cutting-edge wearable technology, and it's absolutely changed my
life.
I've given away more Apollo's.
It's an incredible Christmas holiday gift that if you don't know what to get
somebody, the answer is the Apollo.

Enjoy this incredible chat with Jeanette McCurdy, and I really, really hope you're
having a great holiday season.
We'll be taking next week off, but we will see you on Friday for We Made It
Weird, and then we'll be back in the new year.
All right.
Get into it.
I'm so embarrassed.
I'm wearing my, like, monster socks because they're kids are too big.
What?
Why are you embarrassed?
I mean, I actually think this is the highest compliment.
Lila, who's my four-year-old, would love everything you're wearing.
Oh, I love that.
Right?
That's great.
Why not?
Why not?
Well, as you know, the show just starts as long as it's okay with your sock
material being.
Yeah, for sure.
I don't know why.
I feel like I've been reading your book, so maybe you're getting this.
Like, I feel like this, like, sensitivity.
Like, I want to be really gentle and kind to you.
Like, even Katie was like, she said, I loved your book.
I read it in two days.
Oh, thanks, Katie.
It's so nice.
It's such a weird thing to be like, and we loved it.
You know what I mean?
You know what I'm saying?
Sure, sure, sure.
But, like, when I saw you, I had, like, this new, obviously, you did the
podcast before years
ago, but now there's this new appreciation.
I hope that's not, like, rubbing you the wrong way.
Are you getting that from people?
No, no, no.
I appreciate it.
The only thing that I don't really like is, oh, God, I just want to hug you.
Yeah.
That makes me feel like then I'm being pitied, and I'm like, oh, God, that's
not.
Yeah.
I'm good on that.
No, pity is an interesting thing, right?
I mean, it's sort of like improv, yes-ending your victimhood.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that what it feels like?
Yeah, and to me, it feels like that's not, I would have never sort of done,
written about
my life if I just wanted pity.
Like, I thought that there was something entertaining about it.
I thought there was something, I thought that I could write a good story.
And I, it feels sort of like, to me, it feels like it's being kind of undermined
if it's
just like, oh, the pity.
Well, it's also loaded, isn't it?
Yeah.
I'm sorry to jump right in.
No, no, no, no, totally.
I'd love to be like, do you have any coffee this morning?
Just be silly.
Yeah, there's a water right there.
Oh, great, awesome.
This is so fancy.
That's, we were just talking about it.
This is our new water.
It's Nirvana water, and it's made by a doctor who was treating patients, and
they were having
a hard time holding onto their muscle.
Like, you know how people that are sick, obviously.
I was like, this will be interesting to mention to Jeanette.
But it decreases muscle loss, reduces muscle recovery time, and strengthens
muscles and bones.
And doesn't taste bad.
It's got orange in it, right?
Yeah, yeah, it totally tastes good.
I'm glad.
Yeah, it's called Nirvana.
They're our new water.
Wow, I'm so surprised.
Yeah, I'm glad you enjoy.
It's literally our first step out.
So anyway, yeah, that's my point, is I'd like to start with more casual water
banter and
all the things that have changed.
I'm glad not to.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, then let me jump right in, because it has to be loaded that your mom used
so much
of her diagnosis to get specialness.
Yes.
So if you wrote a book, it would be like, oh, no, she learned nothing.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
Yeah, we would all understand and would just kind of say it behind your back.
You'd be like, well, the apple doesn't fall far.
You know what I mean?
Like, what a nightmare.
But it's clearly not what you're doing.
That's my worst fear.
Yeah, of course it is.
That's my biggest fear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course it is.
I'm so glad you laughed, because I'm like, no one thinks that.
But now that you've said it, people must.
No, no.
We're dispelling, because it's so clearly not written.
Look, I look back on my book, and there's things that I wrote about my parents
that were
just a little bit.
When was your book?
It came out right when Lila was born, so about three years ago.
Oh, my God.
I can't wait to read it.
Oh, I'll give you one.
There's one on the shelf.
I'd love to.
But there are parts I wrote about my parents.
I do not regret it, but I can tell that I'm going, l
