This was awesome. Always something interesting to say the least. Thanks Dave!

[@kstepko]

I wonder if the ‘friend’ who has a Hobart tattoo is the real Pete Jordan!

[@ricks7990]

Never underestimate the importance of clean dishes and eating utensils.

RIP Dishwasher Pete.

[@dassgnar]

Dishwasher Pete is not dead, yet.

[@footube666]

Wait, what? He died? Last I heard he had a bike shop in Amsterdam.

This is a phenomenal example of unexpected events that could not be conceived by any writer leading to things that made this show so special.

Jess Hilliard 🩷 I knew him back in the 90s, incredibly wonderful kind person, played in some great Bay Area punk bands. I remember when he did this, it was amazing!! 😎

[@kstepko]

I’m just going to say it: fake Pete was far more personable and entertaining than real Pete … AND he set his hand on fire!

[@trekkiejunk]

I don't know...the real Pete was more awkward, but pretty funny, too. Intentionally or not, he was pretty entertaining.

[@Lildewdew]

Really great dry sense of humor ​@@trekkiejunk

[@KungEMuller]

Well, this is very interesting. Dave and the real Pete did great work together. Of course, the fake Pete was great, too.

If you must eat in a restaurant, at least don’t ask for ice in your drinks. Most never clean the ice machine

[@thatDonOguy]

A important date in zine history!!!

[@RedStallion2000]

Not just a Patriot. He was also a Plateriot !! 🤣

[@jimmyfaherty8588]

Cool story! Miss Dave. TV is not the same without him.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

For some reason, Dishwasher Pete looks and sounds like Michael Cera.

[@robclarkson5356]

Both Petes are great 👍

[@CaptainTedStryker]

I'm a stay-at-home dad and my wife is a bicycle mechanic. We're looking for a 2 BR place in Amsterdam, our budget is 1.6 million.

[@trekkiejunk]

I don't get the joke.

[@pontificusvascillious5287]

how do they know that THIS guy is NOT just another friend that wanted to be on tv?

[@Messonround]

Probably just a joke. The jokes just keep on rollin' with Letterman. 🙄😉🤪

[@Mgh-r]

Hi hi hi dear dave ❤❤❤❤❤❤ welcome back ❤❤❤❤

[@hoosiercrypto9955]

This is better than watching political bs

[@teeveeparty]

If you think letterman wasn't political then you didn't watch much letterman!

[@trekkiejunk]

What's wrong with it?

[@Messonround]

What a joke!😂This bit shows the extant folks try to get on TV while neither of these guys are very believable. 🤔🫣🙄
