Are you sleeping in Mitzi's office?
Don't you pass out sometimes up there?
That's your little apartment?
Well, first of all, no one's ever been
in Mitzi's office, you know that?
I have.
There's no, no one's been in,
I have.
Don't do this, you have, have you been in Mitzi's office?
Yeah. Yeah, what are you talking about? I don have, have you been to Mitzi's office? Yeah.
Yeah, what are you talking about?
I don't think you guys know where Mitzi's office is.
This is so, what a dumb guy think,
there was another room with a desk?
What are you talking about?
No, where do you think Mitzi's office is?
What are you talking about?
What are you guys talking about?
And I don't like this,
I don't like what's going on right now, dude.
F you.
Go ahead, sir.
Let me ask you this. Okay.
Is Mitzi's office at the comedy star?
That's very good.
Yeah, all right.
Good, this is good.
You're acting, you're treating me
like you've always said, like a child.
Yeah.
And I'm gonna allow this.
All right, so go ahead, let's go.
The way you're behaving is as if we didn't come
across the office because the office is located on Kauai.
I know, but what I'm saying to you is that,
can I ask you a question?
Yes.
Based after your question.
My question, are there many offices at the Connery store?
Yes.
Yes.
There we go.
Am I, okay, so, and so what I'm, no, stop.
Dude, this is the worst detective of all time.
Trying to find clues that aren't there.
Yeah, yeah, they're right.
So what I'm saying is that I feel like you've been
in an office where you thought it was Mitzi's office
but it really wasn't.
Okay, so what I know this about Mitzi's office
is that it's been closed since the seventies
and no one's ever been in there.
That's not true.
Okay, so now I'm gonna ask you Seb and you Andrew,
all right, all right, because I'm not afraid.
Number one, I'm not based in fear right now.
I have courage and I know what I'm talking about.
You fucking assholes right now, right?
And don't do, you know what this is?
I saw this on TikTok.
It's the way to, you know what I mean,
control the room with your hand like this.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what this is?
Yeah.
This is sitting on a kid's chair.
That's what that is.
I read it wrong.
So I'm gonna ask you guys, where is the office?
You know what?
I don't know if we need to tell you
cause you haven't been.
This is kind of the great thing.
This is so funny because now you'd see what's going on.
They now are scared cause they don't know where her office is. I do. good this is so funny because now you'd see what's going on. They now are scared
Because they don't know no where her office is. I do so this is great. So tell the office is upstairs
Okay, so where I go there's there's many building uh offices up there. So describe to me how I get up there
Okay, uh since you've been in there. Yeah
Does the office have a heavy?
Like red kind of velvety drape that you remember? I don't know if it does anymore, but it did.
It used to have a, there was a secondary door before you got to her office door.
Yeah.
It was two doors.
That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
You're the only one who has them.
I've never been in there.
I fucked.
No, no, here's the deal.
Yeah, I've never been in there.
I've never been in there.
A responsible groan, hold on.
Hey, Eget.
Adam, you're on Bad Friends with Sebastian and me and Bobby.
And Bobby claims that's-
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, exactly.
He goes, nobody's been in Mincy's office since the 70s.
And I said, I've been in it.
You and I went in it.
Have we not been in Mincy's office?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you. I love you. I'm not done.
No, we're done.
Give me the phone, give me the phone.
Why is Bobby banned from the office?
Yeah, why can't Bobby go in, Eget?
Oh, that's totally different, yeah.
Right.
Oh, what is it then, Eget?
Bobby, there's too many fucking reasons.
Yeah, there is, yeah.
And I think our audience knows.
Hang up, hang up the phone.
I love you, I'll call you later.
Hang up the phone, hang up the phone.
Goodbye, I love you.
Okay, so I was wrong. There are parts of this conversation I've never- So aggressive to our audience. Hang up the phone. I love you. I'll call you later. Hang up the phone. Goodbye.
I love you.
Okay, so I was wrong.
There are parts of this conversation.
So aggressive to our guest.
Listen, guys, I never know when I come on these things.
Yeah.
Is this like on?
Yes, where do we go?
We had already started.
I just did a podcast where it was like,
okay, we're gonna start in bed and get water,
this and that, and then it was like an introduction.
Here it's like, hey, we're running right from the get go.
This is a car accident.
Okay, no, it's not a car.
It's just gonna happen.
You guys are making me so mad right now.
Dude, what is your problem?
I don't know, I'm just aggro right now.
What happened in Century City that you're so upset?
It took me a long way to get here.
Well, no shit.
What were you doing over there?
CA is packaging a thing.
Don't act like it's.
Okay, so anyway.
I'm doing this, you know what I mean?
Because it's like, it's a whirlwind.
So I don't want to get into why I was there.
Did you say whirlwind or whirlwind?
Is it whirlwind?
Which word do you think it is?
W-Y-N.
World wind?
World wind?
No, it's W-H-I-R-L wind.
W-Y-N-D.
W-Y-N-N, like Steve Wynn.
No, no, no, not Steve Wynn.
Wind.
Or world wind, what is it?
What is it?
No, no, no, I'm just saying you're right no matter what.
Okay, but Seb, I know you're gonna say this.
Let me just say something.
We'll do the proper intro, okay? You don't need to. But I'm gonna tell you why we do matter what. Okay, but Seb, I know you're gonna say this. Let me just say something. We'll do the proper intro.
Okay. You don't need to.
No, but I'm gonna tell you why we do it.
I just didn't know where we're at.
Is this part of like, oh, we get warmed up
and then all of a sudden the foreigner says,
hey, let's get this going?
Well, you're right, you're right.
Our guest today is one of our favorite comedians
to ever walk the earth.
An actor, a comedian, a writer,
probably one of the most brilliant performers alive today,
Sebastian Menescalco.
What did you, what, don't step on the mic.
A real comedian.
A real comedian.
For once.
For once on this show.
Yeah.
Let me just get back.
Okay, I'm back.
Do it again?
I already did it.
All right, he's a real comedian.
That's what I got.
Not only that, did I get actor, world win, we said. A great actor, a great writer, a great performer's a real comedian. That's what I got. Not only that, did I get actor, world when we said.
A great actor, a great writer, a great comedian.
May I say something? A great father.
May I say something? A great friend.
May I say something?
Cause I have my own two bits as well.
Please. He's a great guy.
You never said that.
And also secondly, I've known him
probably one of the longest, right?
Yeah.
And he's one of those guys that I always knew.
So, Sebastian Meisguck.
You know what?
Guys, you know what?
Let's just go back to the normal way you do it.
Yeah.
Why, does it seem organic?
We can't do NPR podcast.
It's just not for us.
How many did you do today?
Two interviews?
I did the School of Greatness.
You ever do that one?
What is that?
I've never heard of it.
What is that, Carl?
What is that?
We're not that great, so I don't know if we'd go.
Well, we've never seen them in the charts.
Are they bigger than us?
No way.
I love your attitude right now.
Thank you so much.
This is like, yeah, Lewis Howes.
Oh, he was there.
Now what's his thing about?
It's more like, you know, grown up shit.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a two time New York bestselling author,
is that what it says?
Yeah, two time all American athlete,
keynote speaker, entrepreneur, wow.
Yeah, it was more about like life.
Life, yeah.
We do life too, bud.
No, no, yeah.
How's your life going?
Some people watch it. Yeah, yeah. Some people watch it. Yeah, yeah. Whoa,, bud. No, no, yeah. How's your life going? Some people watch it.
Yeah, yeah.
Some people watch it.
Yeah, yeah.
Whoa, dude, you're flexing, huh?
He's being a little diminutive,
and it's interesting you would do that
to someone you respect so much, like Sebastian.
This is the first time I have someone I admire.
On our show, yeah.
You've never admired any?
We had John Cena, didn't admire.
Zac Efron, didn't admire. No Zac Efron, Din and Myer.
No Zac Efron, no Inver Myer.
All right, we've also had, who else have we had?
You two.
The band, you two.
We had you two, Bono, we had Bono and The Edge.
Okay, yeah, we're like, you know, we're the bottom.
But my point is is that.
It's fine.
Who else have we had?
So you had Bono here?
No. No, he's just, he doesn't.
When he said you two.
His English is bad.
His bad, yeah, we never had Bono here.
He meant he has us to just he
He's very bad with he's very bad
Can you shut the fuck up maybe?
Anyway, um, so Sebastian is an old friend. Um, and I um, he's killing it, you know, I uh, it's great
I'm so happy for you. Thank you.
Here's another reason why I like you.
No, I don't, I just go ahead.
I just don't get it.
What are you doing?
What's the problem?
He knows we like him.
But tell him why you like him.
For people listening.
I'm sure they like him way more.
They way more than me,
but I'm just gonna tell,
I'm sorry.
Back up, back up everyone.
Okay.
You gotta take those off
because it's doing something to your mind
and the way you're podcasting, it's affecting everything.
Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What the fuck is that?
I told you it's pimple patches.
I had a breakout.
Yeah. I went to Vegas.
I got cream. Yeah.
I put wrong cream on my face.
I broke out when I came back.
Okay, let me ask you this because this is the face. I broke out when I came back. Okay.
Let me ask you this because this is the second time I've seen this in less than four days.
Yeah.
Someone had that on.
These?
Yeah.
No.
At a party that we were at.
It's a kid party and one of the mothers had one here.
Now can you come out with those on and not mention that you have those on?
Must say something.
Must say something if you walk in.
And I would never go to a public, if I was going to a party or a thing, I would just
get over it.
This is home to me.
So this is easy.
If I'm going to a party or an event, can't, just deal with the pimple.
Just deal with the redness.
This woman didn't say anything about it?
No, I said, you got something on you.
I thought it was like,
from opening a gift that one of the stickers got,
I thought you got a star on your,
she's like, no, it's for pimple.
I'm like, is it getting that comfortable now
where people just come out with acne cream?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, let me say something, first of all,
to the company that makes those.
Why don't you make them so that it's something
that you would have on your face, like a liver spot or a freckle.
Right. So are those, what are those?
No, these are real liver spots.
Oh, okay.
That old Korean men get. Yeah, yeah. But my point being is if I had a brown liver spot
like there and that is it, I think it would just blend into my face, no?
Yeah, but then this feels like it's more obvious, hey, I have a thing on my face. That would
be, we would start calling each other going,
is Bobby okay?
There's way more liver spots on his face than used to be.
Right, but maybe you can pull on heartstrings,
maybe something even worse, like a scar.
You know what I mean?
Or lesions.
You should have worked in Halloween makeup.
You would have been way better at that than comedy.
That should have been your career.
All right, yeah.
This is great.
I'm in.
You start a business doing this and I'm in.
You guys, guys.
Yeah. Thanks.
Is this how it's gonna go?
This is how it's gonna go.
Yeah, there we go.
That's how it goes, okay?
That's how it goes.
Are you plugging something?
What the fuck are you doing here?
We'll get to that.
I'm just interested in the dynamics of you two yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, cuz I
Generally don't watch the show. Yeah
So
Are these guys guys you're hanging out with on a social level or is it just a work thing and everybody goes their separate way?
I'm well, um, no, actually we do we. It is kind of like a little family for us.
Yeah. And it's five guys. Well, there's a woman in the back I met briefly.
Who is it? That's McCone.
New intern. That's McCone.
You have a new intern? Yeah.
Yeah. Where is she?
Oh, I thought he was talking about McCone. Can I see what she looks like?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, oh, another Asian. Hi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're an intern?'s Asian. Oh, another Asian, hi. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you're an intern?
I am.
Okay, sit back down, thank you.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm impressed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, listen, listen.
Okay.
I'm impressed, number one, congratulations
on all the success that the show has had.
Thank you.
It's really fantastic.
And I'm impressed that you guys are so big
that there's an intern program.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There is.
Bad friends.
I mean, that's pretty impressive.
Well, I'll tell you what though.
We don't do the intern hiring.
We have no say.
They bring in people and I'm starting to get a little sus.
We might need to audit it because it's always Asian girls.
Yeah.
So I don't know what's going on over there.
I think they're doing it for me.
It's not working.
It's not working.
No, it's not working. It doesn't make me feel comfortable. Trust me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't like, I'm on over there. I think they're doing it for me. It's not working. It's not working. No, it doesn't make me feel comfortable.
Trust me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I don't like, I'm cool with any race, any gender.
But let's mix it up a little bit.
Yeah.
That's been the fifth Asian girl we've had.
We love blacks.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
We love them.
Let's just make sure when he says that.
Yeah.
I just saw the movie Fences.
Him solo.
The movie Fences, very good.
Donzell.
Yeah, very good movie.
Can you do the-
Never said that play.
Do the scene, let's do the scene.
Son, I don't know, I never saw that.
Oh my God.
But let me try, let me try, let me try.
I got so nervous.
No, no, yeah.
Son, okay, let me try.
Son, why do you think I work all day,
paying bills and putting food on the table?
Not because of my duty, but because I'm your father.
Because you love me?
Yeah. No.
Now go clean the fucking bathroom.
No, he didn't do that?
No, he doesn't. He says not because I love you.
I never saw the movie.
That's pretty good for somebody that's never seen the fucking movie.
Or the play.
Or the play.
Am I not right?
Well, I gotta tell you.
What?
The meeting that you were at today was for a movie package deal.
And this is what you're bringing to the table?
I'm concerned.
Sometimes it's low brow projects, dude.
Not everyone's gonna work with Robert Denner.
Sometimes no brow projects.
Sometimes they're so low, there's no brow.
And that's okay.
You do the monologue.
No, I don't know the monologue.
I don't remember it.
I'm the kid.
Yeah, dad.
Yeah, dad. Yeah, dad.
You want to talk to me in the backyard
in New York, Brooklyn, 1978.
Is that when you think it was, 1978?
I don't know, but let's just move on.
Let's move on.
Okay, all right.
Sebastian, I'm gonna ask you something.
I got back from Vegas.
I went to go see Dead in Company.
I don't know, it's weird to me to see people
from all different facets that like that band.
I wouldn't pick you as that,
but do you like that stuff at all or no?
It's funny, my musical tastes are very sheltered.
I didn't grow up with a lot of the music
a lot of the people grew up in the 80s with.
My father, around the house, was playing Al Jarreau,
a lot of jazz, Grover Washington, Miles Davis.
So I would go to school.
I love it.
And everybody was, oh, you listen to The Beatles,
you listen to this or whatever.
I go, no, I'm listening to, you know, Boz Skaggs.
Oh.
I wasn't privy to a lot of this music
that a lot of people grew up on.
So no, I'm not a bad company guy.
But I heard the show, is that the Sphere?
Yeah, Dead and Company at the Sphere.
Did I say bad company?
Bad company, also a great band.
Also a great band.
I have a line of question real quick,
but if you wanna say something,
but I have a line of question.
What he just said really bothered me, but go ahead.
Okay, all I wanna say is I understand this shelter.
I don't know, my dad was stuck in a,
he never liked new shit, even of his gender.
My dad was born 55, something like that.
So I would think, you know, a lot of my friends' dads were like, rock, 70s rock.
My dad only liked Carolina Beach music, soul, Patsy Cline.
You know what I mean?
Like, he liked either folk, folk country crossover or soul music.
You know, like Sam Cooke and he just never,
so like for me, it was similar in that way
where I had to go fish, because my friends were like,
Patsy Cline, they didn't know who that,
they were like, who is that?
So like same kind of idea, so I had to be like,
out of myself to pretend I knew things when I was young,
so I had to just investigate.
You just bailed, you were like.
Yeah, I didn't know there was any investigating,
I just like, okay, this is the music taste
that I'm gonna grow up with. But you like, I'm sorry? there was any investigating. I just like, okay, this is the music taste that I'm gonna grow up with.
But you like. Right.
I'm sorry?
You liked Michael Jackson.
I love Michael Jackson.
Yeah, who do you, yeah, who, like who?
Michael Jackson, Prince, I mean Madonna.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all those things you did.
I know that about you.
I didn't get, Motley Crue, I like kind of the hair bands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like the classical rock bands.
Yeah.
I didn't get into.
Like no Zeppelin.
No Zeppelin.
Wow. But if I said to you like, name me appelin? No Zeppelin. Wow.
But if I said to you like,
name me a couple of Beatles songs you would know.
I mean, you're privy to that information.
Yes.
You don't know any Beatles songs.
Again, I don't know lyrics to songs,
nor do I know titles to songs.
Okay.
I love that about you.
This is what I love.
I know, I like it.
When you came here today,
what did you listen to in the car on the way here?
I was talking to people. But did you listen to in the car on the way here?
I was talking to people. But if you're not on the phone.
I would generally listen to audio books.
Fuck.
Or the latest Eminem song, Houdini.
Whoa, the scale of that. Whoa.
Audio books, Eminem. Houdini.
Wow. Whoa.
The Anxious Generation, that's the book I'm listening to right now. Yeah. Audio books, M&M. Houdini. Wow. Whoa.
The Anxious Generation, that's the book I'm listening to right now.
And then Houdini is the-
Wow.
That's it.
That's your playlist.
That's right now, yeah.
Right, right.
I don't veer far.
Okay.
May I ask you some questions?
And I know you're a guest and I love you so much.
And thank you for being with us.
And don't be rude.
I'm not going to be- I felt like I was being rude early.
I apologize. You're not being rude at all. Thank you so much. And thank you very much. And don't be rude.
I'm not gonna be, I felt like I was being rude
to really apologize.
You're not being rude at all.
Thank you so much.
I've known you for 25 years.
Okay, so I'm gonna ask you some direct questions then, okay?
Okay.
Because I'm not afraid, all right?
I mean, you have Spotify, no?
I do have Spotify.
Thank you.
Apple Music, no?
Yes.
Exactly.
A search engine? Yes. Exactly. A search engine?
Yes.
Yeah.
This isn't rude?
No.
It's not.
Because I'm confused.
No, no, no.
I know.
I could only.
You're right.
I should ask you.
Hey, you have all the stuff like Spotify and Apple, right?
Better.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I have it too.
And you know, you search things right on it, right?
Never curious, maybe. Let's see what the Beatles are all about. No. That's awesome, I have it too. And you search things, right, Ana? Mm-hmm. Right?
Never curious, maybe, let's see what The Beatles
are all about.
No.
Why?
Listen, it is a weakness I have in my repertoire
for cultural, you know, I should be able to name
many songs from The Beatles and or Led Zeppelin,
you know, was it Stairway to Heaven?
Yeah, but watch this.
Very good.
But watch this.
Hold that.
Well, watch this.
I know what you're gonna do.
I know, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Name the last five books in your world
that you've either read or listened to.
Atomic Habits.
Boom, let's stop there.
Love that book.
You've never read, you don't read.
I love Atomic Habits, of course.
Who wrote it?
I forgot his name,
but I can tell you what the book's about. What is it?
It's about the habitual, you know what I mean,
learning about atomic energies within the earth
and also the biosphere of the world and the universe.
No, but that is a good lie.
I like that lie.
It's good.

Music for me was always about working out, dancing.
That's what it always accompanied for me.
It never really accompanied me sitting in my room
going, oh my God, man, what he's saying is perfect.
I didn't, I didn't do anything for that.
For me it was dancing.
How about this?
People always say, what's your last meal?
What's the last song you'd prefer to hear before you die?
If you could control the last song to hear before you go out.
Cause you know, I think sometimes.
I know, I know what it is.
What is it?
Nat King Cole, Wonderful Life.
Wow.
Not good?
No, yeah, it's good.
I didn't pick you.
I did not think that.
That song, I love black people.
You've said that three times already.
We established that already.
Yeah, I think the fans are gonna call it out at this point.
Why?
That's insane.
You keep saying it.
You can say whatever, I can say whatever I want.
No, reinforce it.
Okay, no, that's the last one.
My point is that I like that song
because it gives me the good feels.
I could be in the worst mood and that song comes
and I am happy go lucky.
It changes everything.
I'm frolicking, I'm light, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I'm a new man.
I love that song.
What do you think, if you were going out,
what's the song you'd like to hear right before you go? Billie Jean. Billie Jean, ooh, that's a new man. I love that song. What do you think, if you were going out, what's the song you'd like to hear right before you go?
Billie Jean.
Billie Jean, ooh, that's a good song.
That makes me come alive.
All right?
Billie Jean does.
Yeah.
Every time I hear that song,
I wanna get up and do something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're a good dancer, by the way.
I've, you know, my dancing skills
have declined over the years. However, growing up in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago,
you know this, I mean, you grew up,
did you hit the, you're a little younger than I am,
a lot younger, we hit the teen dance clubs.
You ever go to Toto's?
Not really.
Or Acapulco Bar?
Not really.
Not that missed our generation.
I was more of a live show guy.
I went to live concerts.
So would you want to Lollapalooza or,
what was it, Lollapalooza?
Yeah, wasn't that the big thing?
Lollapalooza was the thing,
but did you ever, did you ever hear of Fireside Bowl?
Do you remember Fireside Bowl?
No. No.
I liked little indie hip hop and rock shows
and they throw them at these like,
Fireside Bowl, look it up, I don't know,
it used to be all in Halle. Well, I wanna know
about Toto.
So walk me through Toto, you show up, cover charge. Cover don't know. It used to be well, I want to know about Toto. So walk me through Toto you show up
cover charge Cover charge. Yeah
line
Line do people know you you get in right in all they know him
Now yeah, but back that I was never the guy who knew the bouncer
But I was always with a guy that had the in right. This is teen dance club 17 McGreeve's
Another one Wow McGreeve's. Yeah yeah. Is that Toto right there?
No, that's Fireside Bowl.
Oh, it is, okay.
Hip-hop shows.
No, where was that at?
Is that downtown?
Fireside Bowl is on, I don't even know where it was.
It was just outside in Fullerton, yeah.
Fullerton, okay.
Yeah, no, I didn't, well, how old are you?
40.
Okay, so 10 years, that's a big gap.
So yeah.
We're closer to that. No teens, yeah, you're, well, you're usually- Yeah, but you didn't, you? 40. Okay, so 10 years, that's a big gap. So yeah. We're closer to that.
No teens, yeah, you're, well, you're-
Yeah, but you didn't, you know, this is,
this is Chicago in the late 89, 90,
Toto's, McGreevey's, Discovery Club.
That's the hot shit, that was the hot spot.
This was, this is going down up and down Harlem Avenue,
cruising in our cars, you ever do that?
No.
No.
Now did you have to break off the bouncer every time?
It sounds like American graffiti, by the way.
It does.
He was living in Saturday night.
Milkshakes, you like milkshakes?
Yeah.
Okay.
Malts?
Yeah.
This is Saturday night fever.
He's just explaining us the story of Saturday night.
I met him Saturday night.
You met Mr. Saturday night?
John Chavette, 12 Volta.
Whoa.
Yeah, where?
He was at the comedy store.
When?
Saturday night, I just said.
Oh, I thought you said Mr. Saturday night.
Oh, this Saturday?
This Saturday, he was there.
So Tommy Lee was there with Brittany Furlong.
She was doing a show in the Belly Room.
What's so funny?
You said Furlong and it's funny to me
because it's like the length of a horse in a horse race.
It is?
What's her last name?
Furlan.
Exactly.
Okay, I just laughed. Okay, the boys did it. Did you know who I was It is? What's her last name? Furlan. Exactly. Okay, I just laugh.
Okay, okay.
The boys did it.
Did you know who I was talking about?
Let's move on.
Anyway, so Tommy's there and I met Tommy before, right?
So I went up and I went,
hey, you know me?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, good, socially, right?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, you know what I mean?
I grabbed his wrist and I do a bump with my hip to the side.
Smart.
No, it wasn't because he went like, what the fuck, right?
And then, because he was in conversation
with John Travolta and I look up and I go, oh fuck.
Because you know, I saw it all.
Lucas talking.
The grease. Good one to start with.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The grease, you know what I mean?
The one where he's, you know what I mean?
The cowboy Western one that he did. Lucas talking too? Yeah, that's what I mean? The one where he's, you know what I mean? The cowboy western one that he did.
Luke was talking too.
Yeah, that's what, right?
And then anyway, it's Saturday Night Live.
Pulp Fiction.
Fever, I mean, Pulp Fiction, right?
So thank you so much, right?
And the Valley of Violence.
So I go, hey, I'm Bobby and you,
and he didn't say anything.
So I go, I know you're Jackson Volta.
And I was so, I know, so embarrassing.
So did you get a good energy back or?
No, bad, bad, bad energy.
Because when I don't expect it
and it comes out of nowhere, I don't know how to do it.
I get, I read the situation wrong.
Well, what did he look like?
Was he kind of looked like that, like in hairspray?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
He looked like the previous photo that you had.
Was he bald?
Yeah, he's bald.
His head's. Yeah, yeah.
It's in his eyes.
What is? Travolta.
He's in his eyes?
The Travolta is in his eyes.
Even when he gets older, you can tell it's in the eye.
You're saying like all of his ability and-
Look at those eyes. Yeah.
Yeah, I see that. Yeah, yeah I see that.
Yeah, looks like eyes.
So were you taken aback by the eyes?
Did you, is that why you got flustered?
Well, I mean, at first in my mind I'm like,
for a split second I was like, I know this person
and he could be a comedian.
I was just trying, you know, going through the thing.
I go, then I went, oh fuck, it's John Travolta.
And then at that point, I was looking at his eyes
and he was doing some sort of like Scientology,
you know what I mean?
Like alien thing, right?
And I went, you know what I mean?
I went, you know what I mean?
And then I was like, oh, I got fucking bamboozled
by his energy, you know?
And I walked away.
He should have just been like,
where's Shelly Miscavige?
Where's she at, John?
Or let's like, yeah, yeah.
And then just walked away.
But then I also bowed to his grandmother
and his daughter, I believe.
How?
So I go, John Travolta, and I looked at them
and I bowed for some, I don't know why.
Well, it's instinct.
Thank you.
Heritage.
Anyway.
Have you ever been taken aback by,
I mean, look, dude, your resume speaks for itself.
You've worked with some of the greatest
legends of our business.
Have you been taken aback?
Prince.
Prince knocked you out, huh?
Knocked me out.
Well, tell us, can we hear another story?
Tell me Prince.
This actually was Steve Byrne,
and who else was it?
Butch Bradley.
Butch Bradley. Butch Bradley.
I don't know who that is.
Comic.
We were in Las Vegas.
I'm going to say this is,
you got like a crack research team back there.
Well, emphasis on crack for sure.
But yeah.
When Prince did the Super Bowl,
I think it was maybe 07, 09-ish around there.
When did Prince do the Super Bowl?
And let him continue.
Let's go, let's go guys.
Go ahead.
Anyway, we were in Las Vegas performing, I want to say at the Tropicana Hotel.
Mm-hmm. 07.
For the weekend. 07. Okay. And Butch Bradley knew somebody that was producing the commercial
for the Super Bowl. That somebody saw Butch Bradley on the marquee and said, listen, I need funny guys
to do something with Prince for a promo.
Holy shit.
So we go in, this is at the Venetian Hotel banquet room.
We're sitting around a banquet room table
and they said Prince is gonna come in
after we kind of do the, you know,
he wasn't gonna sit through our deal.
So he comes in and he's got two beautiful women
flanking him.
This is beautiful.
I've yet to incorporate this into my life,
but if there's a moment to do so, I definitely will.
Came in with two incense sticks.
And they were holding the incense sticks. And it was like, immediately you were in the,
you were just in Prince's aura.
Oh my God.
Wow.
And he sat down, you know, with the eyes and,
and everybody was staring at him
and no one really wanted to communicate with him and
he's like, you know, why is this serious?
Yeah.
And he kind of broke the ice by doing that.
We did a couple shots with him.
He got up, the incense sticks were there and he left.
And I got to tell you, looking into this man's eyes just was just like a different human
being.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's...
It's incredible.
That's my...
I mean, he was...
He was one of the most talented people on planet Earth.
But you're such a magic man.
Magic.
He's a magic man.
He's a magic man.
I get it.
That's not even a real, it's like God did it for us
and they were like,
we're gonna give you a couple of these.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah, well who are these people?
Of magic people?
Magic men people.
Well, Michael Jackson might be.
Michael Jackson was a magic man.
Magic man.
Magic they, perhaps.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Have you ever come across,
this is another guy I think is magic, Tom Cruise.
Have you ever been in his private?
Have you?
No.
Never.
Yeah, you can tell that he is though.
Yeah, I could just see that through how he behaves, it can tell that he is though. Yeah, I could just see that, you know through through how he behaves
It's someone that's very connected connected
Yeah, I can tell that he is magic man because without giving away much one of my closest friends who you know
Works with him
and I mean
Sitting on the plane like is with him him. And the story she's told,
and the way she's dealt with such like high powered people,
but she talks about him, it's like an enigma.
Like she's like, it's inexplicable.
The way he maneuvers and moves,
the way he contacts people,
the way he's able to like be with someone,
stay with them for a minute.
And then when he's done, they feel like fulfilled.
Instead of like, you know how in LA people
talking through you a little bit,
they're like, good to see you, man.
Yeah, what's been going on?
They're not looking.
He hones in, has this relationship,
and then she's like, it is unbelievable to watch him work.
She says it's like, he's at work,
even when he's not shooting, he's at work with people.
And she says that.
I heard he says hi to everybody.
He remembers your name.
Remember it was your name, right?
And I knew he was a good guy when he did that red carpet
and those people pulled the prank
where they squirted the water in his face.
Why would you do that?
That's what he said.
That's what he said, right?
Why would you do that?
Like if it was Jean-Claude Van Damme, Van Damme, yeah.
You know what I mean?
But he just kind of held his hand and goes,
why did you do that?
I was being nice, I came up to you. And I knew at that moment. I go. This is a good guy
It was a brilliant look at this reaction right here
Hits him in the face with water. Is that what it was it was in France or something? Yeah. Here we go
You tell he's like diving in diving in where's the spray out?
Look at how calm he is. Oh, it grabs them
But you could tell he's angry
Yeah, look watch But you can tell he's angry. I know, I know. Look, watch.
What's so funny about that?
It's brilliant though.
Why would you do that?
It's ridiculous.
Yeah.
Do you like making less of people?
All right.
That's it.
What's great is he says, do you like making less of people?
It was so calm.
It's such a good- What a line. do you like making less of people? It was so calm. It's such a-
What a line.
Do you like making less of people?
And what I wish, I wish we saw the other guy's face,
because you'd be watching a man crumble
as he's being emasculated.
Oh, so good luck ever getting in a red carpet interview
again, you're out.
Well, that guy was, I remember,
that's that fame, he was a famous prankster in France.
I can't remember his name, but he did shit like this all the time,
but he did it so calmly.
He grabbed his, imagine a man grabbing your wrist
like a boy.
Like a little boy and going, why would you do that?
I mean, it would, a basket, I mean, you'd crumble down.
Like, what would you do?
Like, what would you do, Seb?
You squirted me in the face?
Yeah.
I would probably walk away.
Yeah.
Oh, just walk away, yeah, yeah.
And you'd be mad the whole time though. Of course I'd be mad. I don't think I could confront walk away. Yeah. Oh, just walk away, yeah, yeah. And you'd be mad the whole time though.
Of course I'd be mad.
I don't think I could confront the person.
I would probably be stunned and I would walk away
because in my head, what's coming next?
Ah.
Yeah, for what?
Is it acid?
Am I burning?
What's happening?
Right, right.
See, he thinks deep, analytical.
You know my anger would be, it's over.
You would've hurt him.
I would immediately find, in a comedic sense,
my brain would go, gotta do something mean but funny.
I would try to find water or a drink of something
and grab it and throw it on him as fast as I could.
I would immediately try to, but I would do it in a way
that was almost like I'm trying to hit you.
Like, you know, like my hand might be holding onto the cup
as I hit you in the face with it.
That's pretty aggressive, though. Yeah, well, fuck it. Just punch him in the face. No, no, see, you know, like my hand might be holding onto the cup as I hit you in the face with it.
That's pretty aggressive there.
Yeah, well, fuck it.
Just punch him in the face.
No, no, see, because punching, because this, if I did that, I could say I just squirted
him back.
Yeah, but what he did was assault.
I'm sorry, that's assault.
You're allowed to punch him in the face.
I don't think, I don't think that's-
I think this was more powerful.
You're right.
Yeah.
And if this ever happens to any of us, I would suggest that we take the Tom Cruise route
Yep, bring the man in and
Belittle him. Yeah, belittle him. Yeah. Yeah, why'd you do that?
Now do you think that's a thing that you should have done like a child? He talked him like that shy you're right
He did he did it the right way shrunk a man to knock him down. Yeah
Yeah, now would you ever do a Christian bail outburst on a set?
Well, we heard that he did.
Yeah, we heard Sebastian, he bursts like that
on every set he's on.
He's never not done that.
I can't imagine.
Scorsese has said that in a bunch of interviews.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like, you know who's the real asshole?
Sebastian.
Have you ever blown up at all?
No, you're so calm.
You're calm.
I don't know.
I've never seen, it takes a lot to get me angry.
I mean, there are times where I get frustrated and mad, but not to the point where it's an
outburst of yelling and screaming, losing control.
Did your father ever blow up or had the same demeanor as you?
He was a little bit more... He had a little bit more of a temper
and he would let it go just around us.
I don't think around other people.
Right.
I don't like public displays of-
Anything.
Anything.
Yeah.
When you see somebody kiss in public,
like when someone's making out in a line,
you're waiting in a line for a thing,
when someone's making out,
it bothers you a lot?
A heavy make out in public, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
A kiss on the lips, yeah, I mean, it's fine,
but like when we're going at it in the line,
I don't really see.
Again, this same thing happened when I did Tiger Belly.
Why you put what?
No, you do this thing where your eyes
start wandering around the room.
No, no, wait, wait.
You see it?
You see it on the camera?
He was looking over here.
No, do you know why?
No, we talked about this.
Why, what did I say?
I'm just saying.
Whatever you're doing right now, I don't like.
What are you doing right now?
I was just making an observation.
Yeah, but you don't know,
and what did I say before when I was doing that?
I don't know what the fuck it was.
I'm thinking, I'm listening to you,
I'm ingesting what you're saying, and I'm going, I'm listening to you. I'm ingesting what you're saying.
And I'm going, oh, that's good.
I like what he's saying.
You know what I mean?
That kind of a thing.
Let me tell you something.
All right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Especially after the conversation we just hopped off.
Oh, okay, okay.
Would Tom Cruise do that?
Yeah, oh, you want lock eyes.
Lock it in.
Lock eyes. Lock it in. You want. You gotta realize. Yeah. Oh, you want lock eyes. Lock it in.
Lock it in.
Lock it in.
You want...
You got to realize.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what it's like?
When you're thinking, Sebastian, when you're thinking about movement of conversation, you're
thinking in a way where you're swimming in a pool.
There's a little bit of water resistance, but it's not heavy.
He's swimming in quicksand.
When he's trying to think, it's quicksand.
That's why he needs to dart.
It's such a thick mess.
It's a clogged artery up there.
And so when he's thinking,
his brain is just like Stardew Valley, Arsenal.
He's trying to get those away
to think about where you are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I know, I see you do.
That's in that order, pretty much.
I know, I see you doing it.
Stardew Valley and then Arsenal. And then you're thinking about food at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do what I know. I see you do it. In that order, pretty much. I know, I see you doing it. Stardew Valley and then Arsenal.
And then you're thinking about food at home.
Yeah, yeah.
What do I have at my house?
No, I had a meatball sandwich.
See, that's what I thought.
I know, he was like, it was right here.
No, I'm listening to everything you're saying,
but also, can I just say this before?
It's just that I don't, you know,
I feel so comfortable around you
that I feel like I can dart.
I have no problem with it.
I just remember that happening on the other podcast
and I asked you what was going on.
And what did I say then?
Again, I forgot.
Okay, okay, okay.
I don't know what the hell it was,
but it's almost as if you are physically thinking.
I could see the thoughts.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Cause it's just a lot of like-
Oh, I wanna control that. Because- Fine, do it. No, okay. Sorry. It's just a lot of like-
I want to control that.
Do it.
No, I don't want to do it because I'm in situations where I shouldn't be darting.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So it's like, you know, if I'm, you know, like at the pitch meeting today, you know,
I was darting a lot and they're like, don't dart.
Are you darting on dates?
I dart on dates all the time.
That's bad.
And they don't think that I'm interested.
Well, how can, I mean, you know.
Yeah, yeah. Also, I've learned some new things, you know,
while I've been dating lately,
I've been learning some new things.
What are some things?
What are you learning?
I learned that if there's no physical touch from them,
in terms of like even touching your arm,
or like, you know, that kind of thing,
that don't go in for a kiss.
This is, this, you could be a sex ed teacher.
Yeah, yeah, because what I've noticed is, you know-
General cues.
I know, because when I ask people like, you know, I've been, I went on this date with
the school for three times and there's no kiss, right?
And people are like, I wonder what that is.
But then in my mind, I have kissed before.
And so I've just been seeing all the signs of the kisses before.
And I just realized that there needs to be, you know, some sort of like affection.
And then if they're not touching it at all
and they're doing like quick, sometimes they do that.
Like I'll lean in and they'll pull away.
That's not good.
That's, we should just end the day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And this last girl that I had to,
I even, I tested her today.
I can, you know, I'm not lying.
I just basically said that when
you get out of the car, it's just almost as if you're
jumping out of a plane.
Hmm, like when I'm dropping off like that was a great day
she goes.
You know me.

Navigating adulting isn't always easy. You're not just working, you're working late. And dinner dates are all, what's your five year plan?
And you're thinking, paying off the bill
for this fancy pants meal probably.
So when you need to break free from responsibility
and experience something that feels more you,
reach for Kraft Dinner.
Because when you're starved for moments
that bring you back to who you really are
and what you really love, that's when it's gotta be KD.
When you gotta do you, it's gotta be KD.
Shop now.
And so, and she opens the door so quickly,
I don't have even time to even-
Get a kiss.
Get in there, right?
And so in my mind I'm like,
if that happens, it's a no go.
Ask her how quickly she showers after the date.
That'll be a tell.
I don't get it.
If she immediately showers when she gets home,
it's just she's trying to wash you.
When she runs away, she's trying to shed you off of her.
How do I say that though, go,
hey, you know the last date we went,
you know, you left the car,
did you take a shower like right away?
After we go on a date, do you shower right after?
They're like, yeah, I do.
Like I do three showers actually in a row.
I do a scrub rinse, scrub rinse, scrub rinse.
A shower, bathe.
Yeah, yeah.
And then in my mind I should go.
That's it.
That's it.
Block your number.
He's not interested in me.
Right, obviously.
Yeah.
Well, let me ask you this.
Uh-uh.
Well, cause you were in a relationship for a long time
and I don't really know your dating patterns.
When you go out with a girl for the first time,
like where are we going?
Restaurant, what are we doing?
Oh, well, I'm glad you're asking. And this is a very good question. out with a girl for the first time? Like where are we going? Restaurant, what are we doing?
I'm glad you're asking.
And this is a very good question.
Sorry.
Something came up.
Yeah, we heard it.
Yeah, so number one, some people spend their money,
right, on things like watches, right, or cars and whatnot.
on things like watches, right, or cars and whatnot.
Um, you know? But some people, like myself, I like, you know, food.
Yeah.
Like nice restaurants, right?
You mad at me?
Why?
Don't be mad at me.
It's okay.
Yeah, just people are different.
We are very different.
Yeah, I'll, you know, like.
Oh, no, bro.
See this? Yeah, this is just an Instagram quick like. Oh, damn, bro. See this?
Yeah, this is just an Instagram quick buy.
I look at it and I buy it, you know what I mean?
So I do it like that.
I often wonder who buys that shit.
It's me, I'm the guy.
Yeah, I'm the guy, dude.
What idiot, as you're scrolling.
Who in their right mind?
Yes, I'm the one.
Even if I feel like it's not gonna work,
I buy it anyway.
Oh, they've got me.
They've got me a few times.
Just to see.
Yeah.
So anyway, so I have probably 10 spots
that I generally go to for the first day
where I know the menu, I know how to park,
and I know that everyone likes it almost.
Yeah, I agree.
What is one of those places?
Give me a spot.
Well, so.
Well, he doesn't to give them away.
Oh, no, because now when I say it,
other girls listening now,
because most of them are bad friends fans,
they're like, oh, he brought me there.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's cycling through the same five,
it's actually kind of five to six places.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so there's nothing wrong with saying the place.
I mean, it's the place.
All right, so I'll give you.
And I know that this is a spot that you like
because I've seen you there before.
Yes.
I don't think we've ever seen each other
in a restaurant.
We have.
Oh.
You can say Chosun?
Where is it?
Is it the one up on the roof?
No, Chosun.
Yeah, Chosun Goldbean.
It was a Korean restaurant on Olympic
and I did run into you there.
You were with your wife. I swear to God.
I don't think so.
Yeah, I want to.
I'll tell you why now.
Because it's a story that I tell every girl
that I bring there.
Oh, one time I ran into Sebastian here.
Really?
Do you think he would show up now?
Yeah, yeah.
It's one of those things.
So I know.
Wow, I have to ask why that was a cold.
Cho San.
We'll text it to you.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so that's, I think it's one of the best
Korean places.
Well, we did your birthday there.
We've been there a million times.
You took me to a Thai place on sunset.
Toys?
I love toy.
Is that it? Yeah.
Back in the day though, when you used to hang out.
You still go there?
No, I have some money now, man.
Oh, okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
What, too much?
There's nothing wrong with toy?
You're right, you're right.
If you want great tie, go to toy.
Well, good tie, not great.
Right, so then I also go, I'm not done, okay?
Okay. Please.
Another one I do, because I know the guy, is Major Domo.
David Chang's restaurant in Chinatown.
Because I know what to get there.
It's also, you know what's great about dates
and everyone listening right now,
you go to a place where you can share.
Yeah.
Right?
If you have individual, but if you can somehow like,
you know, they have their hand in the hummus
and you can accidentally kind of touch hands,
they go, oh, you go first.
Like you can have those little moments.
Right. You know what those little moments. Right.
You know what I mean?
Oh, wow.
What do you mean? You know what I mean? Or you do something cute like, hey, you know
what? I can't get that plate. I'm going to just sit next to you. I'll pull my chair around,
you know what I mean? And sit next to him and then just eat that little bit. Make fun.
Have fun.
It sounds fun. Yeah, it's fun. it's fun, it's fun, right?
Here's another thing I do, and this is a great thing,
I walk away a lot.
You leave them.
No, no, what I do is I do this.
So if they go, if they make fun of my body, right?
Are you on a date with me?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, sometimes they make fun of me like,
God, you're fat, right?
I'll go, oh, you son of a bitch,
and I'll walk away, like I'm leaving the restaurant.
Sometimes I'll even just leave.
Right.
And I'll come back and we have a good laugh about it.
That's fun.
All right, so it's an interesting time with you.
I mean, it's very communal.
You're eating the same food.
You go to the car, you come back.
Yeah.
Bastia's a place?
I've played in.
Bastia?
No one's gonna be bored with him on a date.
Yeah. Yeah.
Can you, look, I'll be annoying for two seconds.
Yeah, yeah.
Is there any, probably not,
but is there any Scorsese stories
that you can share at all?
I have a Scorsese story.
I also like the patchy one, but I'm gonna move on.
Pesci.
Whatever, I'm gonna get invited to the trailer.
Not patchy.
Yeah, this was before that.
Okay.
So we're gonna do the scene in the Copacabana, myself, De Niro, and Pesci.
Amazing. Amazing.
So cool.
And I didn't know what to expect. I don't know if you guys go through this.
Prior to a new TV show or a new movie that you're gonna do
It's like a first. Oh, you mean farts part three. What are you talking about? I do shit movies
Yeah, our resume is not
You guys done movies where you're popping in maybe yeah, okay not maybe not not there the whole movie like whack-a-mole we're
Yeah, that's we've been away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's awesome.
We've been in there, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
So I feel for me, it's like a school,
and I'm an exchange student coming in
in the middle of the year,
and everybody's friends are ready,
and I have to kind of make friends with the-
I know.
The what?
I said you can relate.
I relate to this situation.
Yeah, because he literally had the same thing happen to him.
Okay, yeah. So that's what I feel when I come in on these
like two, three days or whatever I'm doing.
May interject, I know it's your story.
No, no, go ahead.
But also it's like the highest level of that.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I mean, these are like school.
This is Harvard.
This is-
Yeah, I grew up watching Mean Streets,
Taxi Driver, you know what I mean?
Raging Bull, I mean all of it.
This is like you're a new student at MIT. I can't imagine the pressure and the nervousness.
I just can't imagine it, but go on. Imagine at MIT they're building a fucking rocket
and you walk in the room and they all just turn and they go right back to work. That's what in
my mind- Is what it is.
I would feel like- You're like nothing.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, he's fucking here.
Well, I think this is the problem with us
is we create this situation that doesn't even exist yet.
Mm.
Oh yeah.
Fear, false evidence appearing real.
Yes.
Oh.
So, I went in with the expectation
of questioning myself, do I belong here?
What am I doing?
I'm a comedian and now I'm working with these two guys.
So the rehearsal is just Scorsese, De Niro,
and Pesci and myself.
And we're going over the scene.
And I didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know if they were gonna be in their own world,
but they were very gracious.
Hey, how you doing?
De Niro had to come up to me and say,
hey, you're doing good things.
You're doing good things.
Oh okay, maybe he knows what I'm doing.
So I felt kind of like okay, that's a nice positive thing.
And then I do the scene, cut!
And they all get together in a huddle.
And I'm not in the huddle.
Oh God, and I'm thinking this is it.
I'm going home. Yeah, they didn't like what they saw,
they haven't checked in guesses.
But again, I'm negative in any of my thoughts.
I'll give you, this is what happened to me today.
I got an email from a doctor
and I'm going to go over some blood work.
They said, can we move the appointment
from 10.15 to 10 o'clock?
I surmised that they need an extra 15 minutes
to tell me I'm gonna die.
I said that.
So that's where my head is constantly.
Yeah.
So in this situation, I thought I was done.
It was over.
And then obviously that was not the case.
We worked out the scene over and over again
and it turned out great.
And then Scorsese ended up in between shots.
It was like 50 minutes to set up the shot.
Basically kind of sat with myself
and not even the main cast,
just the other actors that were there,
telling us how he grew up in New York,
laughing, telling jokes.
Thanksgiving was around the corner.
He started talking about his, you know,
Thanksgiving plans.
And at moments, I'm sitting there going,
man, this is a guy that, you know, to your point,
watched growing up, watched all of his movies, was
kind of an icon in filmmaking, the fact that he came from an Italian-American background,
and now he's sitting there telling me where he's going for Thanksgiving.
It was a really nice moment.
So I think the point of the story is sometimes we create something and we think that maybe
we don't belong but truly we do belong and you just have to kind of believe in yourself
and in your abilities.
But may I add?
We still don't belong.
I don't belong.
I'm gonna stick with that with our side.
We're not in.
We're on the outside.
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
But can I say this though?
Window watching. There are times though, like, cause you know, yeah. But can I say this though? Window watching.
There are times though,
because you know, with the little work I've done,
I've still worked with Ben Kingsley.
I did a scene with him, I did a scene with Ed Norton,
I've done a scene with the new movie coming out
with Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis and everybody.
And you build it up in your mind.
I remember the first time I was doing Borderlands,
I was in Hungary, Budapest,
and I remember I get a call like,
yeah, Eli wants to meet you on set.
I was shooting for a week.
He wants to meet you right now.
I don't know why.
They urgently drive me there,
and I walk onto set and they're all there,
like, hey, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, everybody.
And then Eli comes out.
He goes, hey, I just wanted to meet you, man.
Dude, thanks for doing it.
He gave me a hug.
Everyone was super nice.
Like, hey, we're gonna have dinner.
And I just, you know what I mean?
And then in my mind, I'm like,
oh, they're just regular people.
But in our minds, we build it up to this thing
where it's like, don't lock eyes with them
or you might go, you know what I mean?
You might be out, you know?
And you hear some of these nightmare stories.
You know, you've heard that before.
But it's like, that hasn't really been my experience.
I just, you know, you too, right?
When you're with Zac Efron and John Cena.
Those guys never talked to me.
Not one word.
The whole filming.
Yes they did.
You went to Russell Crowe's house?
Yeah, we did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so are you on set, the comic relief?
Are people coming to you?
Are you Mr. Personality?
Well, if that movie was a comedy,
and so yeah, and Pete Fairley and I were,
like, you know, I would stand around him
and just, we would pitch each other jokes.
I mean, that was like a,
I've never done a serious film in my life,
so I don't know what that would feel like to do like a real,
for me, it's everything I've touched is like a goofball.
It's wacky.
So it doesn't, there is no pressure in that regard.
But-
That's an interesting point because Scorsese,
it's out of our, it's not in our world, right?
It's like you have, you're playing
with the greatest actors ever to live.
You know what I mean?
I mean, and I-
It's true.
And I know you, you're a Comedy Star comic.
I saw you the first time you ever went up, remember that?
Do you remember that one time you came over
with that one line for that HBO show?
I had somebody with a plane or something
and we rehearsed it over,
I was living in that condo on Beachwood, right?
And I'm like, you're gonna get this, you didn't get it.
And I remember you being kind of bummed
you didn't get it, right?
But my point is, is that,
so this is the world you come from.
So I guess, you know, in many ways,
it's a little different what dealing with Scorsese
in that way, I think.
The pressure is a little bit more, I think.
Because yeah, his pedigree is so, you know,
not to say that these other people we work like Eli are
fairly, I mean, they're legends in their own world,
but Scorsese
He's the top league of his own. I mean like Tarantino school school says he maybe I am a Oliver Stowe
I don't know Spielberg Spielberg. I mean, there's like five or six of them that are like that. You're not you're not mention your name
I'm sorry John Krasinski. Yes. I think I think he's coming up there. He'll be right next to score. So I think he's very talented shut up
Scorsese one day. I think so, I think he's very talented. Shut up. Scorsese.
John Francisco, he's got the talent.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is bananas.
It's not bananas.
I don't wanna do this debate again.
We're not doing it again.
Yeah, please.
I just work with him.
I know you do.
And he is very talented.
I know, I know.
I know, but Scorsese.
But listen, here's the Scorsese, here's another story.
Go ahead.
Scorsese wants to see your wig. I was wearing a wig in the Scorsese. Here's another story. Go ahead. Scorsese wants to see your wig.
I was wearing a wig in the movie.
Put the wig on and I'm waiting to go in.
This is the first meeting I'm ever gonna have with this guy.
I walk in, sit down, and he starts talking about movies from the 30s, 40s.
This guy's like a movie savant, right?
I haven't seen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm trying to figure out how do I hop out of this and get into, it's like someone talking
to me about The Beatles.
I just didn't know the movies he was talking about.
So I go, what could we connect on?
Kids.
So I just had a kid at the time.
So we started talking about kids, family, whatnot.
I walk out and the wig person goes, what do you say?
But the wig, I go, I think he thinks it's my hair.
There was no mention of the wig, no, nothing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talked about movies and kids.
And then and I walked out and, you know, apparently the wig was was OK. But
yeah, I don't know how to navigate
those types of conversations where I'm in the,
I feel like I'm at a disadvantage.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I mean, when I did that movie,
Hungry, remember the shoes and what I said?
So I was, I show up to Budapest, I don't know anybody,
and my agents were like, no one's gonna hang out
with you, you have a month there alone, you're gonna be alone. So I show up to Budapest, I don't know anybody, and my agents are like, no one's gonna hang out with you, you have a month there alone, you're gonna be alone.
So I show up to my fucking hotel room,
and we're at the Four Seasons in Budapest,
and there's a letter on my bed,
Dear Bobby, I don't know you,
but can you wanna have lunch tomorrow at noon?
It was by Jamie Lee Curtis, a huge fan, right?
So I couldn't sleep that night.
I was like, what am I gonna say?
I gotta do something.
I think I rewatched Halloween
or something, I don't know what the fuck I did, right?
And I show up, pleasant lunch,
then some of the other actors show up and Jamie goes,
I wanna show you guys something that's very important
here in Budapest.
So we walk over to the river.
And along this river, there's these bronze shoes that are kind of like cemented into the fucking
Ground and it's you know
She explains during Nazi Germany the Germans came in here and they killed a lot of Jews and they threw them over the into the river
So one of the actors Cheyenne Jackson goes oh
No
These are baby shoes.
Like a fucking moron, I go, it could have been a.
Well this is reminiscent of Travolta.
Yeah, right.
And then the whole group walked away from it.
Yeah.
And I went, and it didn't get a laugh,
and I went, oh yeah, you're not at the store.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So I have to literally go, this is Bobby,
you know what I mean?
In a movie, this is Bobby amongst comics.
And it's that kind of stuff that keeps you
out of Mitzi's office at the end of the day.
That's kind of an alarm.
I think that's what it is.
That's really it.
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
It's that kind of stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I did read that wrong.
Stop Googling.
It's a bad joke.
It's a bad joke.
It's a bad joke, but also you were trying to lighten the mood.
I was trying to be funny.
Give it some levity.
Even if I was at the Comedy Store, it wouldn't have landed.
It wouldn't have landed.
No.
But that's because you're nervous.
Yeah.
I'm nervous.
I'm like, I want people to like me.
You know what I mean?
I told you, I've said this on here, but we've told this story, but same thing.
I had, when Jim Carrey was my boss and I'm dying up here and we were eating
and conversation was going great.
It was about comedy.
So we're in our zone.
You know what I mean?
Like it was pervy, it was like we're ping pong
and I was like, holy shit.
He's telling me guys he loved.
I'm saying bits that I love from guys from back in the day
and we're going back and forth, back and forth.
Then there was like a little lull and I was like,
so where are you like, where are you living these days?
And he was like,
everywhere, man.
Where is everybody living?
And I was like, fuck.
Fuck.
And it was an inescapable.
Wait, wait, I don't get what he's saying though.
He's trying to say dumb question,
I don't want to talk about it.
Oh.
I'm not gonna tell you where I fucking live.
Yeah. It was like a, none of your business, fucking live. It was like a none of your business,
a nice way of being like,
none of your business a little bit.
Not that he wasn't so gracious.
I think it was a way of being like,
I don't really talk about where I live to people.
Do you know what I mean? In his mind, he's like...
He could have done like a Brentwood kind of a thing.
I think he was just goofing around a little bit,
but it was a little like, hey, come on.
We're not gonna get close. You know what I mean? He was kinding around a little bit, but it was a little like, hey, come on. I don't know. We're not gonna get close.
You know what I mean?
He was kind of like saying, like,
this is the last dinner.
Do you text Robert De Niro or no?
No.
So after you did two movies with him,
he played your dad in the family?
About my father, yeah.
About my father?
Right. And after the premiere, after all that,
you never talked to him again?
There might've been one exchange of a text message,
but no, we didn't have that type of relationship.
You know, we did the scene.
He sat down at his chair and, I don't know,
opened up a notebook and I was learning my way.
Well, so there was never like,
hey, you wanna grab a bite after this? No. Wow. So there was never like, hey, you want to grab a bite after this?
No.
Wow.
No.
It wasn't like that.
Those guys also are the age gap.
They're settled in their ways.
They've been doing this for so long.
They probably like a system.
A lot of those guys, they like it their way.
They kind of want to-
Yeah, but I'm doing it.
So the pitch today, right?
I was like, they're like, what actors do you think?
And I'm low ball, like people I can get.
How about the guy that's on NCIS or whatever it might be,
the eighth lead, right?
I mean, for him to go De Niro is insane.
Yeah, it's wacky.
Did you ask him personally
or you went through agents and stuff?
No, the producer of our film had worked with Robert before
and they reached out to him and said,
hey, I got a script you might want.
Like he read it, we got wind from his team
that he really enjoyed it,
and he wanted to read it out loud,
get it up on its feet around with a bunch of actors.
So, studio hired a bunch of actors in New York.
We all sat around at tables.
You flew to New York.
Yeah.
For that, for a table read.
No, he walked.
He walked to New York.
I flew to New York. To fly to a city for a table you would do that if Robert
De Niro, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're goes. Hey kid
I need you in the Maldives in an hour and a half on your own dime
Yeah, I'd be like I will fucking rent a private jet or Robert De Niro. What level go would you not would you not do it?
Let me get throw some actors
Carrie Elwes
From a princess bride Would you not do it? Let me throw some actors. Carrie Elwes from A Princess Bride.
I do love him. He's great.
I need you in New York right now.
And I would say, my sweet Wesley, I'm on my way.
You would say yes to Carrie Elwes.
I don't know, man.
What's the project?
It's a great movie.
What is it?
It's a movie about-
Do it in a British accent.
Hello. It's a movie about- Do it in a British accent. Hello.
It's a movie about, he's English?
Yeah.
Carey Elwes is English?
I thought, I thought, his name's Carey?
Yeah.
I thought it was a woman.
You don't know who Carey Elwes is?
No.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's British, you've never, you don't, never heard-
He didn't have one at the Princess Bride.
Oh, interesting.
So his accent was different in a movie than it is in real life. I didn't, never seen an interview film, so I don't never heard? He didn't have one at the Princess Bride. Oh, interesting. So his accent was different in a movie
than it is in real life.
I didn't never seen an interview with him,
so I don't know.
So what about, what if Seb called?
And asked me to do something for him?
And he goes, I have a table read in New York tomorrow.
Will you fly to New York?
Yeah, that's not even, that's come on.
What are we talking about?
That's a no.
No, it's a hundred percent a yes.
I don't know if I would.
I would do it in a heartbeat.
I think who's in it?
Okay, I'll fly to New York for you.
God, you'd have to think about it.
No, I would fuck, fuck yeah, dude.
Anything for him.
So what are you plugging?
You have a movie coming out or what is it?
What's going on here?
So smooth.
No one does it better.
Nobody flows better.
I look at the numbers and they're fine.
So I'm doing something right. No, no, I know. You're, I'm saying it real. Nobody flows better. I look at the numbers and they're fine. So I'm doing something right.
No, no, I know.
You're, I'm saying it really.
I'm not gonna change.
You shouldn't.
I love you so much.
I love you more than you.

223. 223.
Has there been, was there a moment in your podcast
where it was like a tipping point
where you're like, nah, we're off to the races.
We got a beautiful fan base.
Or is this something that was a gradual build
and kept onboarding people?
When did you know you were popular?
Episode one.
The first one?
No, I would say, I say this was a confluence of, you know, not to give like the backstory
of the, but the truth really was Bobby relapsed and his dad had died.
And I was with him dealing with it, filling in for him on his other show with his ex at
the time.
And so I did a bunch of fill-ins and then we had a personal situation where I wanted him to get help,
and then he was like, when I get out,
I think we should start that show
that we had joked about starting.
And when he got out, was like funnier
and healthier and happier than he'd ever been,
on the heels of tragedy of his father.
And we started the show in a little bullshit studio,
a piece of shit cockroach-infested.
Cockroach.
It was fucking gross.
And right away we were having so much fun
fucking with each other and then COVID hit.
And so it was like-
Perfect timing.
Anyway.
No, but it was just like the harmony.
The first episode was wacky, insane.
And when we put it out, people were like,
oh yeah, we've been wanting these.
Because the fans had said we should get together for years.
But also, I had this YouTube show called Talking.
Yeah, I did that.
It was an interview show and he was one of the guys
and I always thought that that one was my favorite one.
The way he just hid the,
we kind of rode the edge together in a weird way.
Just back then, people started being like,
why don't these two idiots get together?
And over the years we joked about something.
And then to be honest, Kalyla, his ex was,
she was like, why don't you guys do it?
And we were like, I don't know, I have no idea.
And truth be known,
and I'm gonna say something that's not funny and honest,
is that because I know about Simon and Garfunkel and Wham,
they all broke up, right?
It's egos, right?
So for me, it's like, he's the captain of the ship.
Stop.
No, stop, stop.
I'm being honest right now.
Stop it.
I'm not stopping anything.
You know, I just-
He's the responsible one.
No, yes.
Well, responsible, but that's-
And also I give you a lot of the decision-making,
I feel like. Yeah, so my point being is that- I have to, because you're- And also I give you a lot of the decision making, I feel like.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, so my point being is that-
I have to, because you're sleeping.
I know, exactly.
You're right.
But it's like, sometimes I'm awake.
Sometimes.
And even in those times I'm awake, I go, let Andrew do this.
You know what I mean?
And so I think there needs to be, like my ego, you know what I mean?
It's not an ego thing with Oz.
I think that's what's helped.
Like when he did that movie, you know, with the Fairly Brothers movie, or the Fairly movie, I filled in with us. I think that's what's helped. When he did that movie with the Fairly Brothers movie,
or the Fairly movie, I filled in with them. The first time in my life, I was so happy for somebody
and going, yeah, I'll take care of our home until you come back. It's the first situation where
there's no ego and we're happy for each other. And we get along for the most situation where I think there's no ego and I'm just happy we're happy for each other And we get along for the most part. I think well when you
You know you and Pete are old friends, right?
Well, yeah, it kind of I didn't know you guys were that tight first of all
I didn't know that you fell off the wagon. That's several times. I only have two and a half years now
I've put him in rehab what times. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Three times.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I almost died.
Wow.
Don't, don't.
This is FFYI.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
For four-year information, FFYI.
For your information.
For four-year information.
You know what I mean?
So anyway, yeah.
Yeah, we've been through kind of the, I guess, the wringer.
So there's a history there.
Yeah, no, Pete and I have known each other for 12 years
and kind of same thing.
There was no tragedy or anything like that, but we...
I wasn't making it funny.
I like it.
It was so tragic.
But yeah, we started our show years, years ago,
and I've just always found it interesting
how these things become what they are.
And it's always nice to start it with somebody
that you already have kind of like,
nobody put you two together.
No.
And said, you guys, you kind of.
Well, I will say, I think that this is,
but this is things that you know from standup
that like the show kind of exemplifies is like the fans,
it's so much fun.
The fans send all this is fan art.
We interact with them a lot.
It just becomes kind of like this family.
And whenever we do the live shows,
he kind of reiterates that, that it's like,
it really is feels like a family.
It's fucking weird.
They feel like we all know each other.
It feels like it's-
No, I've seen the videos.
Like you guys are out there.
It's wild.
You're in the crowd, you're interacting.
I think that helps the rhythm of it a little.
And you also meet them before the shows.
We do like a meet and greet and stuff like that.
And it's like, it's shocking to see the age range and-
We have people bring their like 13 year old sons to the show.
The walk of life are different.
Like some people are affluent.
Some people are more like us, you know what I mean?
Gritty.
I mean, it's a great combination of people.
It's shock, old ladies.
When we get someone who looks like they would go
to your show, meaning someone that's like well-dressed.
It's like, yes, we got one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When we get like a well-dressed,
someone that we know like valets, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We always go, holy fuck, a Sebastian fan is here.
That's how we seriously feel.
Let me ask you this,
I've been wanting, cause you know, lately I've been doing,
I'm not headlining these things,
but you know, you do these big amphitheatery kind of shows.
I know you're used to that,
but I did one with Burton Tom was like 15,000 seats,
and then I'm going out with fully loaded this Thursday.
They're pretty big arena.
And even when I'm on stage,
I don't feel like it's a club.
I feel like it's not as fun really.
You like the bigger rooms? You like the bigger rooms?
Because it seems like it's not that fun.
You like it?
I mean, if I had a nice small theater, 1,500 seats.
I like the Wynn Hotel where I performed in Las Vegas.
1,500 seats, nice, intimate, is a nice room.
I love that room.
Yeah, comedy club, yeah, you're there.
Yeah.
Comedy clubs, great. I love comedy clubs. But, comedy club, yeah, you there. Yeah. Comedy clubs, great, I love comedy clubs,
but you get into an arena, it loses some of the
intimacy that you would normally see at a smaller place,
but it's exciting.
There's another feeling that you get
when you don't do a theater or in a club.
It's like the energy of 15, 20,000 people screaming.
But in your head, I mean, for me sometimes it's like,
I'm on stage and for that many people I'm like,
do I belong?
You're like, what the fuck is going on?
Like, I don't even accept that this is even a real thing.
Do you know how big you are is what I'm asking you?
That's a weird question probably, but.
If anywhere I feel comfortable yeah being on stage in front
of three people or you know 20,000 people to me it's it's that's the one
place I feel like I'm I'm comfortable have you ever done a show like that for
three people like like a corporate not not I love corporates by the way yeah
but I've done those those shows at the Comedy Star
to speak to what Bobby was saying.
When I first came there, I got like these,
you know, 12, 31 o'clock spots.
So that-
That's terrible.
Terrible spots.
Yeah, yeah.
I did a corporate for five adults.
Five people, was it planned for five or five showed up?
Now he had, there was a day,
I can't mention the names, but I'll tell you afterwards,
but he had a tough there was a day, I can't mention the names, but I'll tell you afterwards, but he had a tough day,
canceled the party, and decided to keep
just the four other confidants with him,
and I still had to perform.
And I couldn't say no because the check cleared,
so I was like, okay.
Good money?
Huh?
Pretty good money?
Yeah, well I fucking did it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was this at a home or a banquet hall?
It was at a resort.
Wow. But in a banquet hall? It was at a resort. Wow.
In a banquet room?
In a restaurant at the resort that they had,
this man owns the resort, which is even more,
it's like all his.
Wow.
So he sent everyone home, and I was like, okay.
And I grabbed the arm of the girl
who was like liaisoning me.
Like they gave me like a house,
and I was in the house, hanging,
watching TV, eating a great meal.
I was just so excited. I think I called my dad. I was like, I'm having a fucking weekend, man.
This is amazing. Then we get in a golf cart, we go to the restaurant and I grab her elbow like a
scene out of a sitcom. I go, what's going on? I was like, how is this? And she goes, change your
plans. It was a tough day.
I think he just wants to keep it intimate
and it's just gonna be the boys.
They just ate, they wanna drink and laugh.
And then they're gonna smoke cigars around the fire pit
if that's okay.
I was like, well, it's not okay.
But it's over.
I'm sure, like what could I have done?
And so then, I had to, I mean, I worked out
cause I was just, I just talked to them.
I mean, I just was goofing with them, but-
Just basically having a conversation,
but you're standing up.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And his friend was a fan, it was his birthday.
So it was kind of like a, the other guys had no clue.
I mean, the other guys were like,
what the fuck is this?
What, who is this guy?
Yeah, yeah.
It didn't matter. I was just,
but that was the most uncomfortable I felt all my years.
And I was-
You did the full time? I think I probably was up there for 30 or all my years and I was you did the full time I
Think I probably was up there for 30 or 40. Just yeah, I was just goofing. I would do 12
At 12 of like hey, yeah, you usually do 12
That's not a big shift
I'm sorry. It's funny. That's what come on
That's good. It's a slam. I've had people at clubs when I go to clubs sometimes go, Bobby was here a couple years ago. You know, he did 17 minutes.
I'll tell you why.
Can I tell you what?
Let me defend myself.
May I defend myself?
If I'm not feeling it, I'm not doing it.
Okay.
But there's a-
Stop.
Okay.
Let me finish, okay?
Somebody, and I don't know who, came up with these rules.
The feature, MC does this now,
feature does this, right, and this and that.
And my thing is, is like, fuck the rules, all right?
If I'm not feeling it, and it's not going well,
I don't wanna make everyone suffer through an abomination.
It's never gonna be an abomination.
I know, but in my mind it is, so I'm like,
at 17 minutes, and that only happened like twice in my life. you know what guys you win. I'm out. You know I mean
You you you're headlining into 17 minutes. Yeah
And what are the people there's a riot no there's a riot. They just kind of it's a weird
They get up slowly like is it over?
You're right, and then the waitress is freak because they haven't put the checks down. Right.
So I think one time I went out and go, hey guys, wait for your checks.
Just talk amongst yourselves.
Fuck you.
I'm out.
You know what I mean?
And that was it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
It's unbelievable.
And then the manager comes back there and they go, 17 minutes, huh?
I go, yeah.
And that's it?
And they go.
It doesn't matter.
They're going to pay you anyway because no one got the refund.
Right? And it's a door deal, so fuck it. Only a go. It doesn't matter. They're gonna pay you anyway because no one got the refund.
Right?
And it's a door deal, so fuck it.
Only a couple times that happens, okay?
Couple.
Yeah, yeah.
McCone, do yourself a favor right now
since you've been so quiet and polite.
Why don't you say something nice to our guests
because I know you're a fan.
So you can go say something nice and that's it.
I mean, it's just.
That'll be it.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, that's it.
You give them a little bit.
You give them a little bit. You don't want him to run too far.
And we know what you meant by that.
We do, we do.
And so, wow, that's good.
You know what I mean?
I will say-
Can we go to the plug now?
Because he isn't out and I don't want to-
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
We'll make sure you get gone.
Let's get the plug.
Well, don't say it like that.
Or let's do it in an organic way then. IHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA It's so good to see you, man. What you got coming up?
Well, okay, you can keep that. But then when we're going through the tape,
let's see how this works.
You want two versions?
Yeah, two versions.
All right, show them both.
Okay, go ahead.
Well, I'm gonna do my version.
Yeah, go ahead, that's what I'm saying.
Go ahead, what the fuck?
So, you know, being on one of the top podcasts in the world, right? I just see it fitting
since you have a podcast listening audience to let them know that I have a podcast as
well. It's called The Pete and Sebastian Show, which we referred to earlier. It's myself
and Pete Coriali. Sometimes we do guests. sometimes we have a fun banter like you guys are doing right
now.
He's kind of like a beer and peanut guy.
I'm a wine and cheese guy.
So kind of an odd couple vibe.
On top of that, I just got done filming a show called Bookie, which is on Max, season
two.
Season two.
So if you guys like gambling and comedy, it kind of mar Max season two. Season two is. So if you guys like gambling and and and comedy, it's kind of marries the two.
And last but not least, I have a tour that starts in Norfolk, Virginia.
July 11th, which is 94 shows over eight months.
It is it ain't right.
And Pete's going with me, Pat McGann's going with me,
and we're gonna rip through the United States
and have a ball.
So that's kind of what's going on in my life,
but I couldn't be more grateful
that you guys asked me to come here and do your show.
And it's just a pleasure to see all your success
and hard work paying off.
One last thing.
Class.
One last thing though.
And I tell you something distracted me.
I didn't do the eye thing.
I didn't do the eye thing.
No, no, something else you did.
Oh, is it me?
What the fuck are you doing?
I tell you.
What was throwing me off a little bit was the white fingernail polish. I don't know if it's polish or paste
or what the hell you got but I was thrown off many a times with the white fingernails. Is that
your new look? What is that? I haven't seen that from you. Yeah, yeah. You haven't seen a lot of
things. Do you get those? From where I'm sitting, that looks like a satin finish.
It's gels, right?
No, I'm talking about the others.
You getting buffed out?
I got buffed out, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it's so funny that you bring it up, Seb,
because I learned to do manicures from you.
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, he wants credit. So it's very interesting that something that I learned to do manicures from you. Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, he wants credit.
So it's very interesting that something
that I learned from you, it's like, you know,
that commercial, son, you know what I mean?
What is this?
Marijuana, where'd you learn it?
From you, dad.
Right.
Right?
So I learned that this behavior from you
and yet you try to use it against me in a weird way.
Don't lean back, lean back.
No. Please lean back. It's aggressive and lean back a little bit. Don't lean back, lean back. No.
Please lean back.
It's aggressive and lean back a little bit.
Okay, thank you so much.
All right, what's up dude?
I'm flattered that you started taking care of your hands.
How about your feet?
He's gonna show you they're polished as well.
They're polished as well, Sebastian.
You asked for it.
Yeah, look at that.
Yeah, Sebastian. You asked for it. Yeah, look at that. Yeah, listen.
I did, I did, might've had some influence on you getting-
100%. Manicures and pedicures.
But for the record, I'd never had anything other
than a clear coat or a buff.
But you can't buy your kid a guitar and be shocked
when he becomes a rock star.
You know?
You're showing him the ropes.
True.
The kid's got to fly for it.
Right.
You gave yourself a ukulele and he learned how to play the electric guitar and now that's
what he's doing.
That's what he's doing.
I thought it was tape at first.
Almost like Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah.
It's not that.
Yeah, it's not that.
It's still.
I don't know what the fuck that is, right?
But anyway, dude. You know I've never had one? Yeah, men don't that it's chill. Okay. I don't know what the fuck that is right, but anyway, dude
You know I've never had one yeah, man. Don't do that. Okay. I also want to let's just throw this out
You want to get fucking beat up after the show anyways?
Thank you Woo, yeah!
Woo, yeah!
Woo, yeah!
