Speaker 1 For a while. For a good while, yeah.
And this is the first time, actually, I think I've actually seen you two together. Yeah, I love time.
I always see you separately.

Speaker 10 That's why the marriage works.

Speaker 1 That's right.

Speaker 2 We're never plenty of time apart.

Speaker 1 That's right, babe. That's right.
Well, no, this is the first time I've seen you together. That's true.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 We haven't really been around each other

Speaker 1 as this. That's true.

Speaker 1 You're at the comedy store. I saw you in the Palisades.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 Oh, that's right at that little cute village.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right before you.

Speaker 10 Just being regular people.

Speaker 10 It's always weird to see a comic in the light of day. There's people that I've only ever known in the dark at the store for like 20 years.

Speaker 1 Like, whoa, dude, you look totally different. You're like, wow, man, you have hair?

Speaker 10 Yeah, it's wild.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that is crazy.

Speaker 10 Anyway, Sebastian, I have the best memories of you.

Speaker 10 The first time I saw you was in Santa Monica at a bar, some show we always did on a weeknight, you know, and you were doing your roster for less.

Speaker 10 And I was like, that's the funniest fucking thing.

Speaker 2 That's one of those bits that made it

Speaker 2 in the rounds amongst comics. They're like, have you seen this guy's this bit? You know, like everyone had like signature bits that like you discover people on.

Speaker 2 And I remember, I think, hearing about that bit even before I saw it. Like, people were like, this is the fucking funniest bit I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 10 And your cadence and your confidence.

Speaker 2 And I was like, I think I actually saw you first at the Comedy and Magic Club.

Speaker 1 Is that where we ran into each other?

Speaker 2 Well, I think, I don't even know if I ran into you. I was like down there and

Speaker 2 I think they were like, you were having your own night and you hadn't quite like ascended to,

Speaker 2 you know, doing huge, but that show was sold out. And I was like, how's the show sold out? Like, how does anyone know? How do people know who you are yet?

Speaker 2 I don't think it, I think it was like pre-specials and stuff. And they were like, oh, he's got like people are, they were like discovering you.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 Like in the midst of discovering you. And because I would just do like those 15-minute spots there, you know, eat salmon.

Speaker 1 Oh, that was the best part. It's a nice salmon.

Speaker 2 And that's, yeah, I think that's where I first saw you. And I was like, oh, wow, this guy's got, yeah, I could see how funny you were.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, thanks. Yeah.
It's

Speaker 1 a funny relationship with comedians because going to the comedy clubs, I never really

Speaker 1 spoke or, you know, I hung out, but I didn't really like, I wasn't a hang guy. I didn't like hang out till like two o'clock in the morning.
Because you're kind of an introvert, too, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just kind of like doing my comedy.

Speaker 2 You do your business and you go.

Speaker 1 Yeah, especially when I met my wife, I just

Speaker 1 treated it as like, I got to go do a set and I'll come back home and we'll hang out. So yeah.

Speaker 1 But then I do remember us crossing paths at the comedy store. Yeah.
I think you brought me up one night. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we did,

Speaker 1 what was the festival we did together?

Speaker 2 That's right. And that's actually when you had popped.
Because I remember what would happened was,

Speaker 2 this is pretty funny. I'll try to do this without hurting anyone else's feelings.
But this was Oddball.

Speaker 2 So Live Nation decided to do their version of

Speaker 2 a comedy festival,

Speaker 2 like Lollapalooza or whatever. And so they booked this tour of all these cities at amphitheaters.
Right. And this is like 20, end of 2015, I think.
I think it's like end of 2015.

Speaker 2 And all of a sudden, like everyone knew Sebat, like they used to do him at like Madonna.

Speaker 1 It's just one name. Everyone's like, so lucky the one name thing.

Speaker 2 And we, and here's the thing, though, he wasn't closing out most shows. He was like second to last.

Speaker 2 And I remember we were like,

Speaker 2 one of the shows, I'm sitting there with Jeff Ross, and you go up and the fucking place goes crazy.

Speaker 1 He's like, it's going to be a problem forever after this. And I was like, yeah, that's going to suck.

Speaker 2 And then he would go up and everybody was, they were like, oh, they're out here to see you. And we did the Chicago area one.
And then we did the fucking Long Island one, the Jones Beach one.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jones Beach. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And it was pandemonium when you went up there. I was like, oh, shit.
Like everybody was there. That was like, oh, I could see that this was going to, this is like a magic market, like the New York.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Italians were all out.

Speaker 2 He got, he was like, good night. And they were just like, boop.

Speaker 1 And you just saw like, and we're like, hey, there's like two more people going up.

Speaker 2 There were like 8,000 people at one time were leaving.

Speaker 1 We're like, oh, shit. 8,000 Italians just got up and

Speaker 1 left. And I think it was John Mulaney actually that went on after me.
That he was, we were joking about the fact that he's up there and like

Speaker 1 just all this cologne left the place.

Speaker 1 Gone. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It was, I mean, that's the thing is like, you know, the, that spot too, it's like, it's actually like the sweet spot, right? Second to last.
Oh, yeah. I actually had one of the most desired.

Speaker 2 Like, I learned this from doing that tour. And I've told other people since, if you ever get on one of those, you go, if you can go right before intermission.

Speaker 10 That's the sweet spot. That is the spot.

Speaker 2 And the reason is they've seen all the, like,

Speaker 2 they're warmed up. They're like, we're at a show.

Speaker 2 Right before intermission, sun's down. So now it's dark.
Yeah. And intermission means you can go have dinner.

Speaker 2 So like the show is going to go on another fucking two hour because there's an intermission and then all the acts. So I would literally get like this cushion sweet spot.

Speaker 2 And And then I'd see everybody. I'd be like, I'm going into the city.
I'm going to go have dinner right now.

Speaker 2 And it was like, I tell anybody, like, if you can call your shot on this thing right before intermission, it's the best.

Speaker 1 That's the good spot.

Speaker 10 That's what we did in South Africa

Speaker 10 tour.

Speaker 1 And then you came from South Africa doing comedy?

Speaker 10 We did a million years ago.

Speaker 2 We did a festival there.

Speaker 1 Before we had children.

Speaker 10 Durban and

Speaker 2 Johannesburg. They ended up going.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was the Nando's

Speaker 1 Chicken. Chicken.

Speaker 1 Nando's chicken had a tour? Yeah.

Speaker 10 It was really fun. It was probably one of the best experiences.

Speaker 1 And also, I'll say this.

Speaker 2 Nando's chicken's great. On the 11th night, you're like, I don't think I want any more chicken.

Speaker 10 Because they would give it to you free in the green room. And that Perry Perry sauce by D5, you're like, I'm going to throw it.

Speaker 2 I'm going to shit blood again.

Speaker 11 Yeah. But that was fun.
That was really fun.

Speaker 1 That was a good time.

Speaker 2 And again, that was the thing you learned. It was like, there was all, you know, the Live Nation one was kind of like,

Speaker 2 I don't know. It was just kind kind of laid out.

Speaker 1 Like, this is what it is. Like, all right.

Speaker 2 But then on the South Africa one, I feel like there was kind of like a little more egos involved. Like, people,

Speaker 2 posturing, you know what I mean? For like, I should go here and I don't want to go. And I just was like,

Speaker 2 you know, happy. I was like, where do we go? I mean, it was one of those things.
And

Speaker 2 was it Ian Baggle hosted? Right. Didn't he host?

Speaker 10 Yeah, Baggles.

Speaker 1 Fuck, man.

Speaker 2 Did he host or he did?

Speaker 1 No, no,

Speaker 10 he did like one of the early spots before intermission.

Speaker 1 I think he would murder.

Speaker 2 And yeah, but that was another thing where I would watch other people kind of be like, I should, I think I should go here.

Speaker 1 And I was like, oh boy. Okay.

Speaker 2 Do whatever you want.

Speaker 10 And then there was one

Speaker 1 who had the ego.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 10 We'll just say this person shall remain nameless. However, they felt because at the time they were a hot ticket in the States.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 But they demanded

Speaker 1 a lot of breathing going on over here. Yeah.

Speaker 10 To close out this festival. And by the way, you've got heavy hitters on the show, right? Baggles, Tom Segura.
It's great. It's a good lineup.

Speaker 2 And you got some big hitters in South Africa. You know what I mean? You forget you're discovering them, but

Speaker 1 they're known.

Speaker 2 So you go, like, you fucking show up to

Speaker 2 another country. Like, yeah, I know what I'm doing.
They're like, yeah, so is this fucking guy. He's from here.

Speaker 1 So like, just

Speaker 10 he knows the local local jokes and the culture, and you know, that's everything. Wait, you tell it, though, because you ever want to tell the story.

Speaker 1 I'm like sweating thinking about it.

Speaker 2 No, I think we should stop.

Speaker 1 Okay, we should stop. Oh, I was, it was getting interesting.

Speaker 10 He fucking, let's just say this person demanded it

Speaker 10 and it was very well known. And it was an I'm to my contract.
And we were all like, all right, bro. Like, go ahead, knock it out.
And let's just say he ate some fucking African cock.

Speaker 10 Like, fucking AIDS ticks.

Speaker 1 It was wild. That happened to me.
He got booed.

Speaker 2 Very black and big.

Speaker 1 They were big, black.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he got booed. He got booed.

Speaker 10 And I remember that, learning that lesson from that night:

Speaker 10 don't let your ego get into it. If you're in a different part of the world and this guy's the number one star, you're not the star.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 10 It's all relative. In certain markets, you're not the star.

Speaker 2 If I was in Atlantic City with you, I'd be like, I think Sebastian should close the show.

Speaker 1 For sure. I will host.

Speaker 2 No, you got, yeah, you can't get all it.

Speaker 11 Just

Speaker 1 without saying any names, is the comedian

Speaker 1 still working? He died?

Speaker 1 Is that gone now?

Speaker 10 We'll tell you the name off, Mike, and I think the answer is yes. Still around.

Speaker 1 Still around. Okay.

Speaker 1 Good to know.

Speaker 1 Just live?

Speaker 2 Get ready to fucking cut that thing up.

Speaker 1 Do you have any? He won't.

Speaker 1 so has this show's been on how long?

Speaker 2 Since 2010.

Speaker 1 2010. So you got 14 years, right? Yeah.
Is there an archival, like edit, like the stuff that you edited out

Speaker 1 somewhere on a drive? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And like when you pass away, this comes out.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 2 it's a great way for one last viral clip.

Speaker 2 Put it in our will. The day we croak.

Speaker 1 It's a great idea. Well, because Pete and I, we do this Pete and Sebastian show.
We say a lot of stuff. Well,

Speaker 1 Pete, more than I, and then we'll have to go cut it out. Yeah.
And there's all this cutout stuff, which I think is really funny.

Speaker 2 It's all the things that everybody would love to hear.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 12 League One volleyball is back. The world's best players together on American soil.
This is volleyball like you've never seen before.

Speaker 12 Huge swings, massive watch, jaw-dropping digs. A sport where every play is a highlight.

Speaker 12 League one volleyball returns January 7th, 2026 with teams in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Madison, Nebraska, and Salt Lake. To buy tickets, visit lovb.com slash iHeart.

Speaker 1 Right? And then it's like, really? We can't air this because someone's going to get bumped out of shape or whatever. So yeah, we have a archival folder.

Speaker 2 Well, it's like, you know, we all do this, but like when we sit around, like I just had a couple lunches with comics who the best is when they just, you go, it's good to see you.

Speaker 2 And they just rant and talk shit.

Speaker 1 And you're like, God, I wish I could release this podcast. Because

Speaker 2 it's like, it's what everybody would love. And you go, yeah, you can't say it.
But man, if somebody just was like, fuck it, and release one of those, it would be unbelievable, you know?

Speaker 1 Well, I think in the comedy community,

Speaker 1 From what I've seen from afar, if you didn't know anything about comedians, right? You would think everybody's like supportive of every other comedian.

Speaker 1 There's this big camaraderie and everybody's just hoping everybody else does great.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's the case, is it? At least, no way. It's not.
It seems like it's on the surface.

Speaker 2 I think there's camaraderie amongst certain people and certain groups. If you're friends,

Speaker 2 if you're actually like close and you celebrate your friend's victories and you're like, oh, that's, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 There's also this thing where like, you don't even have to be friends, but if you're like, you know, he's a good guy and you hear good news, you're like, good for that guy.

Speaker 1 He's a good guy. I like that guy.
I will say hard work always

Speaker 10 trumps even the shittiest personality in our business. You'd be like, yeah, but they totally grind it.

Speaker 2 They've been grinding at it so hard for 22 years.

Speaker 10 I think the time comedians get real nasty is when you're like, that fucking, what? That just happened? Like, you didn't even do your time. Like, we're very like prisoners.

Speaker 10 We're like, if you haven't fucking done the time, bro.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true.

Speaker 10 That is true. You got to be in the trenches for a certain amount of time.

Speaker 1 So what is the certain amount of time?

Speaker 1 What do you deem as like...

Speaker 2 For what?

Speaker 1 For what? For what level?

Speaker 2 Because everybody has like...

Speaker 1 Well, okay, for a comedian to be making a very nice living doing stand-up, and let's say that's at the theater level. Oh, wow.
Over 10. You got to be able to get a lot of time.
You got to pay over 10.

Speaker 10 I would say 15 to 17. At theaters.

Speaker 1 If you're doing it at 10, you had some break that like

Speaker 2 scotched. But if you're over, let's say you're just 12 years in and somebody goes, hey, this person is doing well.
People go, okay,

Speaker 2 they've put some time into this.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there is a big thing for that. But then the people who pop later in life, like the ones who are like, you know, they're in

Speaker 2 their 50 or something and they've been at, then everyone really, you can tell they really cheer for it.

Speaker 2 It's just this thing where it's like understood that person has been grinding away at this and they're finally getting their moment. I feel like most comics just go, I approve.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you think, Sebastian? No, I think you're around that time, I guess 12, 13 years. I mean,

Speaker 1 I mean, there is exceptions to that rule, obviously. The one that comes to mind for me is Eddie Murphy was like, whatever, 20, 21.
That's a prodigy. Like a unicorn.

Speaker 1 Unicorn thing. Which you could kind of understand why he skipped the line because he was just so super talented.
But yeah, I mean, knocking around.

Speaker 2 Then there's like the other thing, thing, like, because that's like purely stand-up based.

Speaker 2 But then there's, there's, if your talent shines in another space and you get something because of that, I think most people go, you know, if the talent, like, if they see that, if the talent is easily read, like when Tiffany Haddish popped when she was on that movie, that

Speaker 1 road trip,

Speaker 1 girls trip or whatever, you watch the trailer and you're like,

Speaker 1 man, she's all happy.

Speaker 2 She's a comedy star. star so no one's gonna be like i can't believe you're getting shit you watch that and you're like yeah she's clearly super talented

Speaker 2 i think people and i don't i don't have any reference for how long she was in it then but i just go like you see that she's good at this thing right so you kind of celebrate that too i think i do i i think so however I'm gonna throw another curveball at you.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Bert's fat. Is that what you're gonna say? Huge.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he drinks a lot. By the way, I just saw something on Instagram with him and his wife, and he's doing the thing.
And is

Speaker 1 there any, uh, and I don't know what's going on on Bert's team or whatnot, but like when he's got like his whatever assistant or producers there, and they got to look at his uh ass or balls hanging out, is there like uh

Speaker 1 human resources or anything?

Speaker 2 Ask these guys, they've been on that side of it

Speaker 1 guys what's the thought on that yeah

Speaker 2 you just accept it

Speaker 1 no hr no hr yeah he has a lot of women on his team too so yeah i noticed that's got to be cool for them yeah the younger ones

Speaker 2 especially it is funny that you brought this up so one time we were we were all hanging out this is like maybe a the last tour or something and it was like his guys

Speaker 2 his team and me and then He was like, yeah, you know, I just I get naked in front of people on the bus. And I go, you know, you really shouldn't do that.
He's like, why? And I go, because people,

Speaker 2 like, they work for you. They don't necessarily want to see you naked.

Speaker 1 And he goes, what?

Speaker 2 And he turns and his whole team is there. He goes, what's up with this? And they were like, yeah, we would appreciate it if you change behind clothes.
And he was like,

Speaker 2 he's like, you're just saying this now. I go, well, you never thought of this, that someone doesn't want to see you change? And he was like, all right, I'll start changing with the door closed.

Speaker 1 I go, that's a fucking normal thing to do.

Speaker 2 Because he was just changing in front of people.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, he's very, very comfortable.
I mean,

Speaker 2 he is, I'll say this.

Speaker 2 I do admire that as somebody who's so self-loathing. And God, this looks like shit.
And I fucking feel, I see him as a free bird in that regard.

Speaker 2 And he's just like, not only that, he's like, I look great.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 2 he's like, I look great.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, okay. Fucking, that's, that's a cool narrative in your head.

Speaker 2 But I think I took your, sorry, I took your curveball away.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what was we doing? Curveball. Okay.

Speaker 1 Do you think that there is, with all this stuff going on on the internet and podcasting, this, that, and the other thing, that comedians that are coming up now are spending the amount of time in the comedy clubs honing their act

Speaker 1 as maybe generations before them? Or are people just worried about pumping out videos and podcasts and whatnot?

Speaker 2 It's a really insightful question. My thought on it is it's a different path.
So we also can't think in terms of just how we did it because what's available today was not available to us.

Speaker 2 So I think it's probably a combination of no,

Speaker 2 like to a degree, no, they're not doing just what we did, but they're also like hyper aware.

Speaker 10 that these viral clips can change your change your ticket sales change your career anyway but i think you're right and I don't think the clubs support feature acts as much anymore that's a hundred percent that's what it sounds like to me

Speaker 10 is that kids can't get you can't be a feature there's no featuring because

Speaker 10 you you bring who you want to bring to everybody yeah mostly the headliners bring or they'll give the kid from like tick tock who's got millions of followers who can sell out that show or whatever may not be the best act live but can move tickets which i totally understand from a club's perspective right but yeah i just don't think they're spending time they don't have the time to hone the way we did.

Speaker 10 You know, you would get those weeks from fucking Stroop and you're like so stoked.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, I'm going to work fucking 40 weeks in like Toledo, Des Moines, Iowa, whatever. And these buddy bones.

Speaker 2 And also, clubs have also changed their weeks. I didn't realize that until recently, where a lot of clubs now have changed from being the

Speaker 2 Wednesday, Thursday, to they're like, they're like Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of clubs doing Friday, Saturday shows. And maybe they'll do some some

Speaker 2 other, but I'm saying like the offer to the comic. Like we used to be like, they'll be like, you'll come here Wednesday, Thursday morning, you'll do press.
You do Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 2 They're like, oh, like I talked to my friends who are like, they just started working funny bones and stuff. And they're like, yeah, my offers are Friday, Saturday.
That's

Speaker 1 great.

Speaker 1 So they're condensing the week, too. Well, what are they doing the rest of the week? Just doing local, local people?

Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe they're doing, figuring out something to do in the, in the.

Speaker 10 I think they're doing like quiz nights.

Speaker 1 quiz night bingo shit i don't know i think they might be renting it out for other things i think any couple do like church on sundays there's some of them

Speaker 2 i kind of understand this too when you especially like when you're when you're not like cleaning out places but like when you're start when your shit is starting to sell and like they go hey for the week for the for wednesday through sunday

Speaker 2 You know, you sold 600 tickets here. It's like, dude, can we do less shows then?

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 10 Like, not pay the staff and the lights.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, as the act, you're just like, great, why don't we try to get like 400 of them to come Friday, Saturday? That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 Two nights or whatever, you know? I don't know. That's

Speaker 1 it's

Speaker 2 the old model, I think, did need some

Speaker 1 tweaking, too.

Speaker 2 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 So I did want to ask you a couple things now that I'm here. And I have to,

Speaker 1 and I would assume this is planned. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You do a really great job on keeping your kids off social media. Yeah.
And is that something that delivers

Speaker 1 for sure? So

Speaker 1 because I've never, I've seen your kids in person at the Palisades, but I go on your Instagram. I go, wow, their kids are completely

Speaker 1 ghosted. Is that something that you decided before you even had them?

Speaker 2 Here's the thing.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 2 I realized early on. I think that I was like, you know, this lane of stand-up we're in is also like, because there's lanes within comedy, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 Where like there's clean acts, there's family acts, there's, you know, there's, there's just like different style. And I realized, like, we embrace chaos

Speaker 1 on this podcast. Like, this podcast.

Speaker 10 We haven't even gotten to it yet.

Speaker 2 I know, but it's fucking mayhem, dude.

Speaker 1 Well, no, I saw

Speaker 1 this. Funkle?

Speaker 1 Well, the with the bathtub. I mean,

Speaker 1 right.

Speaker 2 right, but like, it fuels this whole thing of like

Speaker 4 this isn't just a game, it's a once-in-a-generation event.

Speaker 5 The Harlem Globetrotters 100-year tour.

Speaker 6 Celebrate 100 years of high-flying dunks, 100 years of show-stopping moves, and 100 years of changing the game.

Speaker 5 Bring the whole family and be part of the legacy.

Speaker 4 This game is once in a century.

Speaker 8 Be there at Chase Center on January 18th.

Speaker 9 Go to HarlemGlobetrotters.com for your tickets to the 100-year tour.

Speaker 2 Of like, there's weird shit out there, and we are finding out what's weird. And then the comments are a mix of very funny, like there's very funny comments.
There's crazy shit.

Speaker 2 And it just gave me a peek into this side of humanity where I was like, this is chaotic. And, you know,

Speaker 2 it's not

Speaker 2 fucking main street where you go, like, everything's great here. So I was like, I don't want to, I don't think I should be like, here's my kids to that.
I thought that before even having kids.

Speaker 10 And they don't see us on YouTube. They don't see anything, really.

Speaker 1 That's great. So

Speaker 1 you're saying that there's like an underbelly of society here that

Speaker 2 you're tapping into?

Speaker 1 I believe so.

Speaker 10 I would prefer to say highlighting, showcasing the marginalized communities

Speaker 1 on the internet.

Speaker 10 People that you don't get a voice, Sebastian, that's how we see it.

Speaker 1 These gentlemen. So, and again, fascinating how this all so is this something that just developed organically, or did you guys go, we're gonna, no, we're gonna do this? No, it's it's Sebastian.

Speaker 10 It's it's our shared sensibility.

Speaker 10 I will say

Speaker 10 we both laughed at the worst part of Grizzly Man, that documentary.

Speaker 10 I don't know if you remember it about Timothy Treadwell, this maniac that would go live on a bear reservation thinking that he was protecting bears.

Speaker 1 You saw that doc?

Speaker 10 I didn't see it. It's old as shit.
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 This is one of the first days.

Speaker 10 Yeah, Vernon Herzog. Tom, this is 2005.
We're on a date. We go see Grizzly Man.

Speaker 2 And then we're in the theater. And Werner Herzog is a legendary filmmaker, and he's making a very compassionate movie about this lost soul.
Timothy Trebble is a lost soul.

Speaker 1 You're supposed to feel bad.

Speaker 2 Who goes to

Speaker 2 Alaska and lives with bears and documents it.

Speaker 2 And then during the documentary, at one point, they find a pilot who had taken him from where civilization is to drop him off where bears are, something that nobody does. So he goes, Yeah, you know,

Speaker 2 this guy comes up to me and he's asking me to drop him in bear country. I thought he was retarded, you know.
And we laughed so hard

Speaker 1 in the theater.

Speaker 1 And you could see people being like,

Speaker 2 this isn't funny.

Speaker 2 And that's when we felt like, oh, there's a real bond here.

Speaker 1 You're in love. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 And that is the start of our shared sense of everything chaotic and weird.

Speaker 1 And then they don't say nobody, no fucking nothing. Yeah.

Speaker 10 We really enjoy these things in private life, and then we decided to start talking about it on a podcast. That's true.

Speaker 1 That's true. It's a social shit that we love.

Speaker 2 I don't know. It's like, it's what I find funny in things like, you know, like little moments, like on the fun uncle, on the funkle clip, this little beat at the end, I could study

Speaker 2 for fucking six days. I could watch the clip over and over because there's so many like micro-movements, micro-emotions in it.

Speaker 2 And that's what like what always makes me laugh about these clips is like the nuance of it.

Speaker 2 It really

Speaker 10 is interesting with you, Sebastian, because I feel like you're an upholder of the opposite.

Speaker 10 of like what the fuck is wrong with with everybody why can't people just fucking be normal yeah so yeah that's kind of where my my mind set be normal more

Speaker 10 You're kind of in your hell garden right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm coming from like the manners. Like what does anybody have like manners or like are we all kind of just

Speaker 1 society falling apart at the at the seams? Yeah. So my my

Speaker 1 it's a disdain and disgust for

Speaker 1 behavior that seems to be

Speaker 2 it's a great lane too.

Speaker 1 It really is a great lane.

Speaker 2 i know i identify with it to a great degree i oddly enough in stand-up i i've always adhered to like towing that line as well like i've always called out like are you seeing this yeah yeah you know like are you seeing this fucking nonsense but i feel like it's definitely been branded it's like it's a sebastian brand is is essentially like what the fuck's going on here yeah it's like you know what i mean like it's a great comedic lane.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Did you grow up proper? I wouldn't say proper.
I just grew up with like very, like, you're not wearing that. We're going here.

Speaker 2 It's old school values in a way, right? It's like, it's traditional values.

Speaker 1 Traditional values. And you say, you know, we're talking about drugs and whatnot.
My family didn't do any pot or

Speaker 1 hallucinogenics growing up. It was my dad was a hairstylist.
My mother was a secretary. And there was like.

Speaker 2 Did your father,

Speaker 2 I never asked you this, did he himself immigrate or did his parents immigrate?

Speaker 1 He did. As a child

Speaker 1 or as an adult? At 15, he came here.

Speaker 2 Oh, so like, okay.

Speaker 1 So he was, you know, he spent 15 years in Sicily and growing up that way, brought some of those, you know, techniques here to the United States to teach his kids.

Speaker 1 And my mother, very, you know, like sweet and nice.

Speaker 2 So we all have immigrant parents.

Speaker 2 There is a shared experience in that, in having immigrant parents.

Speaker 1 I think so. I mean, I think they bring a whole different

Speaker 1 set of rules that maybe you don't see in other parents that were maybe raised here.

Speaker 2 And my mom is big, big time with, like,

Speaker 2 you have to be kidding that you're wearing that.

Speaker 10 Oh, for sure. Say that.

Speaker 1 Big time.

Speaker 2 Like, are you out of your mind?

Speaker 1 It's like a consistent theme, for sure.

Speaker 1 You could do two things. You could adhere to that, right? Yeah.
Or you could rebel against it, too. Totally.

Speaker 1 did you listen yeah or what were you going oh i'm gonna go and do my own i'm wearing my own i was a goth so maybe yeah you rebelled big time you rebelled but then now as an adult i go to like the courthouse and you're like who the is wearing flip-flops and shorts to court

Speaker 2 are you out of your mind and now on airplanes pajama bottoms house slippers in the airport yeah like now i'm becoming my parents with that stuff yeah i mean like total euro i think what i did was i learned exactly what to do, and like I understand it completely, and then I know how to specifically upset my mother, which for 45 years has given me a thrill.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 So I love to, like, I know not to belch at the table, but I do it because I know how much it's going to upset her, you know, things like that. Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Or I

Speaker 2 just described to her my series that I'm shooting next month and like the stories in it. It's like all these like,

Speaker 2 you know, know, like old Twilight Zone stories. And each one of them, she was like, she goes, I will never leave my house if you make this.
You have to use a different name. I go, different name.

Speaker 2 She's like, people can't know this is you. She's like, you are just, why don't you just make pornography?

Speaker 2 Like, you know, I just know that it'll upset her, but I love upsetting her. I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's just like a trigger for me. He hates his mom.

Speaker 1 It's okay. We all do.
If you're a comic.

Speaker 2 No, I think you mean everyone hates my mom.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Specifically.
Yeah. Your mom.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. So is your dad? Wait, is your mom immigrant or she was?

Speaker 1 No, no, she was born here.

Speaker 1 My father was born in Sicily and they met in Chicago. And

Speaker 1 yeah, they've been really, I mean, they've been really supportive of

Speaker 2 what I do. No, I've seen like it's it's actually a very like endearing thing.
The element of like not know, I don't think I've ever met.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to think if I've been somewhere and your dad's been there too, maybe briefly or something. But

Speaker 2 the idea of like how much you bring them into things, it's very endearing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're involved.

Speaker 1 They're there.

Speaker 2 Your sister, too, I want to say, I've seen her and a bunch of things.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, sister's got three kids, so it's harder for her to go see shows, but she'll be in Chicago with me, with her family.

Speaker 1 It's nice to have the family, especially the kids, now kind of getting to know what I do, coming to the shows.

Speaker 1 It's just such a different upbringing than I had. Yeah.
And

Speaker 1 like we were just at the Madison Square Garden. They're running around the garden up top in the balcony, right? And I'm sitting there looking at that going,

Speaker 1 I was in my yard digging holes, playing worms.

Speaker 2 You know, that was like my you realize they're going to tell those stories, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's, it's really, it's really cool to kind of have them witness it and them sharing all the excitement of it all.

Speaker 1 So yeah, it's been really, really good for us because, you know, as you well know, you go on the road, right? You got kids at home. You know,

Speaker 1 before you know it, they're 18, 19, 20 years old. So I'm very, very conscious now of like, I don't want to miss a lot.
You know, I don't want to be in Montana while my daughter's at a gymnastic meet.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So, but before you know it, you know, you keep telling yourself you're going to slow down because I don't know how you guys operate.

Speaker 10 This is the shit that I say to you all the time, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 10 Literally, I'm like, it just, you're, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, wait, how do you deal with it? You're gonna die.

Speaker 10 You're gonna die.

Speaker 1 You're just gonna die. They're gonna die.
They're gonna grow up. They're gonna grow up, and then I don't know.
And then what?

Speaker 1 You're a famous big fucking deal.

Speaker 10 Nobody remembers you in five years, anyway.

Speaker 10 Do you remember Don Rickles? Anybody in the booth? Phillip Stiller? Any of those names? No. Rodney Dangerfield? None.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Go ahead.

Speaker 2 You were saying?

Speaker 1 Sorry, I didn't mean to touch on such a sensitive topic. No, it's fine.
No, but listen.

Speaker 1 Because I go, okay,

Speaker 1 this is very fleeting, this business, right? Totally. I look at it very negatively.
I'm not Mr. Positivity when it comes to like, it's always going to be there.

Speaker 1 I look at it like next year.

Speaker 1 It's it. It's over.
Another guy is going to come in or whatever.

Speaker 1 So I look at it as like, let me get it now right before it's over but then you keep saying that every year and next thing you know the kids are 21 you're like what the fuck was i doing so what i have done is i'm like you know what let me let me pull back here a little bit because what are we gonna

Speaker 1 i don't gotta have i don't gotta do everything right it's up to me i was just i just like i just like doing stand-up yeah but sometimes you get pressured and go you got a podcast no you gotta get a podcast yeah And I was like, we're going to go get a podcast.

Speaker 1 Like, you need to do

Speaker 1 a TV show, broader audience, this and that, and the other thing. So I find myself sometimes doing things, not necessarily out of the love of doing it,

Speaker 1 but for to feed

Speaker 1 the animal, to feed the stand-up. So at the end of the day, it's like, you know,

Speaker 1 how much stuff are you going to do?

Speaker 2 It's the exact conversation.

Speaker 2 Exactly the same. And then you go, you know what I want to do? I want to quit things.
Like, you just want to quit. You just want to go, I want to stop doing that and just do this.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then you have to decide how you're going to manage that.

Speaker 2 But you have to say no to things.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a hard thing to learn.
So you two, for you, is your passion the the stand-up? Is it this?

Speaker 2 I have a lot of fun doing this. There's nothing more fun than stand-up.

Speaker 10 I think we both feel like stand-up is the absolute best thing in the world. Traveling to do it

Speaker 10 sucks is the worst vile part of it? And I unfortunately can't really do it. I mean, I'm almost 50 now, and my body can't handle it.
I'm over it. I got two kids.
So

Speaker 10 no absolute favorite right.

Speaker 1 But this is the second.

Speaker 2 I learned to pare down the tour.

Speaker 2 Like, I did the last tour, and I learned that, like, that's an insane, non-sustainable, and also not fun, non-beneficial way of doing it.

Speaker 2 Like, this weekend, I go out, I do three shows. I come right home.
I'm home for a few weeks. The next time I go out, it's two shows.
Like,

Speaker 2 that makes it so that also that when is it, first of all, I'm enjoying life at home, spending more time with my family, but also the actual stand-up becomes more fun. It doesn't become like,

Speaker 2 I got to do fucking nine shows this week, and then I got to do it again. And

Speaker 2 that's not fun. I don't have, I don't enjoy that.

Speaker 10 I wish we could do stand-up at like 3 p.m.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that is funny. Why can't we?

Speaker 2 That's our age showing the most because she'll come, she'll be like, got great great news. I go, what? She goes, I just booked a 5 p.m.

Speaker 1 show in like fucking Tampa. And I'm like, why not? Good.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 10 Sunday at 5. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what, what's his name's doing?

Speaker 1 Bergatzi. Yes.
Great. He does like matinees.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he does daytime shows. I know.

Speaker 1 5 p.m. This guy's doing the show during the daylight.

Speaker 1 I'm like, you could do that?

Speaker 1 I just thought, I thought, no. I thought comedy was directly associated with nighttime.

Speaker 1 Not the best lead.

Speaker 2 And also,

Speaker 2 I don't know. I am not built long-term.
I have a few, but doing doubles, I'm like, I don't want to do doubles.

Speaker 1 The doubles are done. Doubles are done.
Doubles are done. That's a nightmare.
That kills you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It definitely kills you. Do you guys, when you're doing stand-up for multiple shows, multiple runs, if you have to do five in a week or what have you, is the act the same from

Speaker 1 soup to nuts as far as the order is concerned. Do you ever get to a bit and go, oh, God,

Speaker 1 I got to do this again?

Speaker 2 Dude, in this current hour, in the, let's say, I've been touring it for nine months or something,

Speaker 2 I've had, and this is, I think this is the only time it's been this dramatic. I've had the last, the closing 15 become the opening 15, become the middle 15, become the third quarter 15.

Speaker 2 Like, I've shifted it that many times.

Speaker 2 Some out of boredom some out of excitement and then some out of like oh i think i'm figuring out what to do yeah and it's the only thing that ever cures that uh

Speaker 1 is either a new order or a new bit yeah what do you do do you do the same uh i i i switch it up just the order like he's saying just like all right let's try this in the beginning

Speaker 1 because there's some bits that i that are my favorites that are in the middle and i feel after i get to those I feel like

Speaker 1 it's like a letdown. Yeah.
It's like, oh god. Trudge through the next.
Yeah, this is not going to be as funny as what I just said.

Speaker 2 Because ultimately, I feel like an hour, you want an hour to go like this, like this, like this, like this, and then like that. Like you want it to end like that.

Speaker 2 And sometimes you go like this and then you end straight. Like it's still good, but you're like, no, it doesn't have this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it doesn't have.

Speaker 2 And you need, you feel like you need that. Yeah.
Because that's what everyone's last thought is.

Speaker 1 What did he do at the end? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Also, though, I feel like you got to come out in the beginning and hit him in the mouth. Yeah.
Because they're sitting there going, all right, what do you got now?

Speaker 1 So you got to come out there and kind of blast them with some juice right up.

Speaker 1 Big shot at the garden.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 How about this guy? You ever seen something like this?

Speaker 1 What is it? He's trying to rub the fat out of his ear.

Speaker 2 I think he's got like a tumor in his face.

Speaker 1 That's not how you do it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 10 That's cancer. You can't rub cancer out.

Speaker 2 You can rub it out if you do it hard enough.

Speaker 1 He's in a lot of pain. That looks like it hurts so fast.

Speaker 1 His whole body is.

Speaker 2 You got to give it to them, though. They really don't fuck around in Asia.
They just, they're like, just deal with it, dude.

Speaker 1 Stop the crying.

Speaker 10 This is like Kyrgyzstan.

Speaker 1 So here's an example of.

Speaker 1 So this video. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Did you see the video?

Speaker 2 I feel like I've seen this one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is on your feed?

Speaker 2 Yeah. My algorithm.

Speaker 1 My feed don't look like that.

Speaker 1 So here's the thing.

Speaker 2 Yours is probably just like, oh, here's a car,

Speaker 2 right? Or like, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 There's six places to go see in Italy while you're on vacation. I'm not getting Asian rubouts.
Oh, yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 I get a lot of fucking nights. Not even this in the beginning.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 What the fuck? Come on. I just hate.

Speaker 2 What's he doing?

Speaker 2 I don't even understand.

Speaker 10 I don't like that. Okay.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 give me like the behind the scenes on this. So, you posted, have you ever posted a video like this? Sure.
Right. Yeah.
And the people in the video see it on your show

Speaker 1 and call and text or whatever.

Speaker 2 Sometimes they go, thanks for highlighting me. Or like,

Speaker 2 I would like to come on now. Can you please book me? And sometimes they go, you didn't ask for permission.
You get every type of answer.

Speaker 1 And you're not phased by any of the... any of it coming in and nothing.
Doesn't even...

Speaker 10 It's been so long.

Speaker 1 No, it's 14 years old. We've been doing this for so long.
Yeah.

Speaker 10 They know. We know what we're doing.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 If I could just comment,

Speaker 1 which I've never seen this before. This is kind of like a little behind-the-scenes info for your fans, and I don't know if anybody's ever brought it up.

Speaker 1 But prior to coming in here, I used your restroom.

Speaker 1 And I don't know whose idea was this, but

Speaker 1 there is dental floss in there, Q-tips,

Speaker 1 chapsticks,

Speaker 1 eye drops, and something that I actually brought in here. I had a take, which I've never seen this before.

Speaker 1 And I'm really into hospitality, and I'm really into

Speaker 1 little touches. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Got your own mints? Yeah,

Speaker 1 this is beautiful. You like that? Yeah,

Speaker 1 I saw that, and the first thing I said is, wow, they're doing well.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 I tried one just to see what the quality was. And I got to tell you, delicious.
Wow.

Speaker 1 I don't even know where you go and get this.

Speaker 1 Who start who? There was a meeting. Someone had to have a meeting.

Speaker 1 And someone said, we should have our own mints.

Speaker 1 That's true. That's true.
Who decided this?

Speaker 2 That's a great question.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 It was straight from the top. It was Ryan.
Ryan's like when he's cleaning his head. He checks thick.
Ryan gets it.

Speaker 10 Yeah. But this is, but do you see how special it was for you? We wanted you, Sebastian Maniscalco, who flew all the way from L.A.

Speaker 10 to Austin, to feel special. Well, I do.

Speaker 1 And I hope you do. I do.
I mean, it's really nice what you got set up here. You got the mural out there.
You got.

Speaker 2 You got our old mints.

Speaker 1 You got your omints. You got this, which I keep seeing at every podcast.
We have a podcast, and Liquid Death hasn't contacted us at all.

Speaker 2 I want to show you this one right before we show your special thing. This is, I remember seeing this one that I really enjoyed too.

Speaker 1 You're going to shoot me?

Speaker 2 This guy's doing fingers.

Speaker 1 You're going to shoot me, mate. Okay.
Are you actually going to shoot me?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you're going to shoot me.

Speaker 1 He said he was doing trigger fingers that he's a gangster. Have I got a gun? But why are you touching my gun? Don't fucking come there.
Don't come here, you dickhead.

Speaker 1 Bruv.

Speaker 1 Listen. Sorry.
Look, I'm not a bully, right? But I'm three times the size of you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but don't fucking touch my car. Hit my car, bruv.
Don't do that.

Speaker 1 Okay, hold on.

Speaker 2 So, this guy,

Speaker 2 what appears is the guy's in his car, and this guy's being an asshole for whatever reason, the guy outside of the car.

Speaker 1 Don't do that, because this car is worth it.

Speaker 2 Now, he's like sitting on his car, touching the car.

Speaker 1 I spend a lot of money in this car, man. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 Don't do that. You've got no money.
I've got, okay. I'm going to do this, right?

Speaker 1 I'm going to do this.

Speaker 1 I've taken a picture. I'm going to take your glasses now.
Oh. And now, here's your glasses that you damaged in my crops.
Look at this guy. How's that? that? How's that? How's that? How's that? Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's the look of defeated.

Speaker 1 You know, you're like, oh, yeah, I fucked up.

Speaker 10 We know what a pain in the ass it is to get new fucking.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. He just ruined.

Speaker 2 And that guy's also processing.

Speaker 2 I definitely, those are not redeemable.

Speaker 1 Like, those are completely crushed.

Speaker 2 And also, I did this. Like,

Speaker 2 nothing.

Speaker 2 This was totally avoidable. I would have glasses right now if I hadn't fucked with this guy.
That's just a good don't start shitless.

Speaker 10 And Mikrox. He points it out to.com.
It's Mikrox. All right.
Are you ready? This is the best part for me of the show.

Speaker 1 Be clear for her.

Speaker 10 I love this. I curate TikToks.
This is for my algorithm. Like I said earlier, I like to highlight people that don't have a voice or the marginalized communities.

Speaker 2 So, what, by the way, is there, what's like the darkness of a Sebastian? You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 2 What is it? There's got to be something in there that is like

Speaker 2 somewhat dark, right? Like, our feed shows us our own darkness.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 I like watching

Speaker 1 people fight in

Speaker 1 parks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Really? That's

Speaker 2 good for you. Some of my...

Speaker 1 Yeah, so like... I was hoping that this guy would have went into a rage.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you would have seen like a croc fly off the camera

Speaker 1 and beat the shit out of that guy. Okay.
So I guess if

Speaker 1 I like

Speaker 1 that when it comes to

Speaker 1 entertainment, like how it all goes down. I don't know if that's dark.
It's just

Speaker 10 like you like fighting and aggression.

Speaker 1 I'm not aggressive at all,

Speaker 1 but I do like when other people kind of go toe-to-toe. Yeah.
Yeah. I like that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Who doesn't um okay

Speaker 1 here's uh christina's curations

Speaker 10 i thought you this one's for you tom

Speaker 1 all the cupping i know look at all the cupping breathing he's already in pain right now

Speaker 2 i like when they really when they really

Speaker 2 come around yeah when the mallet comes dropping

Speaker 1 Is that are you guys into all this? Like, do you do copping and ice?

Speaker 1 Are you in an ice bath yeah yeah yeah yeah and like like give me the vibe like when you go in sucks and then yeah and then you come out the great do you yeah i i get it okay like

Speaker 1 generally speaking throughout the day

Speaker 2 if you didn't do the ice yeah would you go oh fuck i'm off bro i didn't do my ice today actually kind of i wouldn't say it's so dramatic where it's like black and white but like i remember when i came in here like if i don't know was it last week yeah and I came right from it.

Speaker 2 These guys were like, damn, you're in a good mood. And I was like, straight out of the bath, baby.
Like, I was just firing on all cylinders. I was feeling good about it.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 10 And then he brags about it. He likes, he has to tell me that he did the bath.

Speaker 2 Why?

Speaker 1 Because I know that she tells you you did the bath and how long you did it for.

Speaker 2 Well, it's always the same.

Speaker 10 He would have me time him sometimes.

Speaker 2 Yeah, she doesn't really do that either. She's like, she'll be like, it's cold outside.
I'm like, you're not even getting in the water.

Speaker 1 What's the temp?

Speaker 2 Right now it's at 45. 45.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 2 I don't know. I've gone down to 40

Speaker 2 and I've gone up to 50.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I think right in the middle works for me.

Speaker 1 45 is good. It's good.

Speaker 10 What do you think? Have you tried it?

Speaker 1 Are you going to do it? I got one.

Speaker 1 That's been there for a year. I was diligent with it for a little bit, but then...

Speaker 2 Did you like how you felt after?

Speaker 1 I did.

Speaker 1 There is a sense of euphoria when you get out of it. There is.

Speaker 1 I'm just, I was doing it more for like, does it heal inflammation? Oh, yeah. Interesting.

Speaker 1 So from what I understand, and I. It helps with it.

Speaker 1 I don't do a lot of research. Yeah.
Do you guys do a lot of research on stuff?

Speaker 2 Somebody just says something once.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's probably true.

Speaker 10 I just do what Joe Rogan tells me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You hear it on Joe and you're like, all right,

Speaker 2 Dr. Huberman.
Got it.

Speaker 2 Fucking no.

Speaker 2 So we just got word that Tanner is the one who deserves credit for the custom mints. Tanner bananas? This is blowing my mind.

Speaker 1 Good for you. Yeah.
Yeah. Solid move.
Definitely no use.

Speaker 1 my phone's been blowing up since i said it was ryan they're like no it was tanner don't take that from me please take that credit away from ryan and give it to tanner This is how I travel as a COVID-conscious person.

Speaker 14 First, I use Covixel nasal spray before going to the airport and I mask in the Uber, of course, and I always mask in the airport.

Speaker 14 When I get on the plane, I wipe down as much as I can with Clorox wipes, and I use my pure enrichment air purifier for the plane.

Speaker 14 I wait a little bit to eat after everyone else gets their snacks, and I plan to do as much of my activities outside as possible. When I get home, home, I wear a mask and test a few days in a row.

Speaker 1 And that is that.

Speaker 2 First of all, nothing, if you did a version of this video, I don't think anything could ever perform better.

Speaker 1 There's nothing would ever get more views than if you did a direct duplication of this video.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. I mean, do people do this? It's fascinating what people are doing online.
Are they doing this to actually be helpful? Are they doing this to

Speaker 1 be quote-unquote famous? What is the

Speaker 1 like if I had a routine like this, you would never know about it. Right.
Right. I would never go and share it with anybody.
Right. Right.

Speaker 1 The mindset here is it. I'm.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think part of that is you get your attention in other ways. You have a talent and you get to do it.
And like you get your fill from that.

Speaker 2 Somebody else, like this person, doesn't have that outlet. There's no, so it's like, this is how they.

Speaker 1 But that's the way it's supposed to be. Of course.
The talent, you get the technology.

Speaker 1 But when you don't have it, you don't get to get it. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 But now you're like, but she's like, yeah, but I want it. So I'll do this.
I'll do this montage of

Speaker 2 how I travel as a COVID-conscious person.

Speaker 1 With the end of the day.

Speaker 2 And I like that I get home and I test several times for a few days.

Speaker 1 And her nose was so red.

Speaker 1 Fucking idiot. And also.
I hate it so much.

Speaker 2 You know what she's looking for here is somebody to go, thanks for doing that. Thanks for the tutorial on how to live this way.

Speaker 1 I wear a mask, so you wear a mask.

Speaker 1 I'm protecting you. Why aren't you protecting me?

Speaker 2 I saw this old broad say that to this guy in Brentwood when I was like during the COVID heyday. She came on.

Speaker 1 She had like a fucking, like she was a welder, like a fucking mask around, wrapped around the head.

Speaker 2 And this guy was like walking up.

Speaker 1 She goes, I'm protecting you.

Speaker 1 Why aren't you protecting me? He's like, I'm fucking outside. I'm about to walk in.

Speaker 1 Like, you old bitch.

Speaker 10 Hysteria.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Sarah.

Speaker 3 Shara.

Speaker 3 So I'm sure

Speaker 3 some

Speaker 3 favorite thing you do is just

Speaker 3 sometimes you when

Speaker 3 it's done washing

Speaker 3 basically when a dog eats a snake

Speaker 1 it's like

Speaker 3 cooking brio on a

Speaker 3 on a floor.

Speaker 1 Butter.

Speaker 3 You just gotta make sure, wash it off the roof and put it in your laundry basket. That's the end of the video.

Speaker 1 So now I'm understanding why the kids are not on any of your social media. Right?

Speaker 1 I would be even afraid to put this thing up.

Speaker 1 This guy's out there. He's out there.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know, you don't really see

Speaker 2 the tats on the freckled people that much. That's one of the things that stood out to me: how many freckles he has.

Speaker 2 And then you go, you don't really see somebody really tatted up who's got a lot of prevalent freckles.

Speaker 10 This is so true, Tom. And you know what we found too is there's a direct correlation, Sebastian, between facial tattoos and crystal meth use.
Really? It's a direct

Speaker 1 to getting facial tattoos.

Speaker 2 Although I'm sensing some fentanyl here. I don't think it's just meth.

Speaker 1 Oh, interesting. Because he's a little too.

Speaker 2 Like, most meth people would be like, you got to fucking throw it in the laundry.

Speaker 1 That's man.

Speaker 10 And to answer your question, like, are we afraid we'll put this up? The guy might...

Speaker 10 They don't live long enough to come after you.

Speaker 10 All these guys on the walls, they're not really around anymore except for that fat red-haired one.

Speaker 1 Oh my god. What? He's around.

Speaker 2 He's around.

Speaker 10 That's it. Everyone else is around.

Speaker 1 Oh, Tommy John's. He's around too.
Oh, yeah. RPC.
Well, the rest.

Speaker 1 Jesus.

Speaker 15 To describe Jesus' horse,

Speaker 15 he's extremely tall, very well-muscled. This horse's personality is often very serious, which is a foil to Jesus' personality, which is often laughing.
Not always.

Speaker 15 Jesus knows when to be serious, when to carry out missions, and when to work essentially. But Jesus is often really

Speaker 15 loving life, joyful. And his horse is pretty much always serious.
And a few weeks ago, I got to visit with both of them.

Speaker 15 And Jesus was with his horse, and I got to ride with Jesus on this horse in the spirit. These are experiences I'm having spiritually

Speaker 15 and saw the horse turn around.

Speaker 2 Okay. So I think we get it.

Speaker 10 Well, have you ever thought about the qualities of Jesus' horse? What the personality might be serious?

Speaker 2 Isn't it kind of interesting that you go, like, oh, yeah, all these people are out there? Like, the FaceTech guy, Jesus' horse lady.

Speaker 1 Like, they're all out there.

Speaker 2 This is all in our. This is person.
This lady could be next to you at Starbucks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they're out there. They're living.
And

Speaker 1 you are showcasing them, all right?

Speaker 13 Behind me is the royal procession. King Richard himself and his queen are walking by.
Yes, every so often they walk through the

Speaker 13 fairgrounds just to greet the populace, you know. And of course, I mean, this is just a renaissance fair.
He's our real king, but we still pay deference to him.

Speaker 13 Since we are getting into character for a medieval renaissance fair, we do.

Speaker 2 I think I've seen him in the belly room, this guy.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna throw up.

Speaker 2 It's not the ding-dong show? Ding-dong.

Speaker 1 Ding-dong show, yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you realize, too, like, I was talking to Kurt Fox about this, like, how on a lot of nights you're at the comedy store and you're standing in the hallway and you, you know, you see, maybe you see, like, somebody you know, or a fan walks by, and then you see some of the other comics, and you're like, oh, this is a fucking mental asylum.

Speaker 1 Like, there's so many lunatics in this.

Speaker 2 Like, this guy would fit right in if he was like, oh, I'm doing a spot.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, yeah, sure.

Speaker 2 That was fucking the king's lair today. You would think that he's like,

Speaker 1 he'd fit right into our world.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's why I love him.

Speaker 2 Like, this is a peer of mine. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you think? Yeah, no. Well, it's like we go to work, right? And these are our co-workers.
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 Totally.

Speaker 10 Hold on. Sebastian, have you come across the Disney adult phenomenon?

Speaker 1 Oh, where

Speaker 1 adult people go to Disneyland? Yeah. Do you not have any comments on this?

Speaker 2 Because it feels like you should.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Well, they make the shirt. Rope droppers.
Rope droppers? What is it? Rope?

Speaker 1 Rope droppers? What's a rope dropper?

Speaker 2 A rope dropper is somebody because what's the other one?

Speaker 1 A park closer. A closer.

Speaker 2 So a rope dropper is the person who waits until they open the park. In other words,

Speaker 2 so they're there at like five in the morning and they're like just waiting until they go, now it's open.

Speaker 2 And then the park closer is the person who goes until they're like, you got to get the fuck out of here. It's midnight.
You got to go home.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So there's

Speaker 1 there's there's you know both sides of it. Both sides.

Speaker 1 Is the same person? Could they be two usually not?

Speaker 2 They're usually pretty separate. They're the grips and the bloods, you know.

Speaker 1 They're totally different.

Speaker 10 It identifies you as a morning person or an evening person, basically.

Speaker 10 What are you?

Speaker 1 Are you a park closer or a rope dropper?

Speaker 1 If I had to choose,

Speaker 1 I'd be a part closer. Wow.

Speaker 2 But as a dad, as a dad,

Speaker 1 we come at 10. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And we leave at 10.50. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you want to.

Speaker 2 You guys good?

Speaker 2 The crazy thing was last time we went, we took, we're like, all right, we make this big trip, go to Disneyland, literally there like at 10,

Speaker 2 you know, walking around, paid for the extra privilege of things, and then

Speaker 2 first thing we get on, and then my kid's like, can we go?

Speaker 1 I'm like, can we go? He's like, yeah, I go, we fucking flew out here to do this.

Speaker 2 He's like, all right.

Speaker 1 Just couldn't be less fucking amused by any of it. Well, listen,

Speaker 1 I remember going to Epcot Center. They took me to Epcot when I was 10, and they were so excited.

Speaker 1 My parents, like, hey, we're going to Italy, and then we're going to Spain, this and that, and the other thing. I'm like, let's get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, it's boring.

Speaker 1 I didn't want to be there.

Speaker 10 It's my dream. It was my dream, not Ellis.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 10 Now, I'm going to ask you this: this is a Renaissance fair. Would you rather be a Renaissance fair adult like this gentleman or a Disney adult?

Speaker 1 I never liked the Renaissance Fair. Disgusting.
Never liked it.

Speaker 2 I'm with you.

Speaker 1 It's just a weird vibe. I'd rather have a year pass to Disney than go to fucking a Renaissance fair for an afternoon.

Speaker 10 For sure. There's pavement at Disneyland.
You're just walking on filthy dirt.

Speaker 10 I don't know how they go to the bathroom.

Speaker 2 Also, the fact that everybody who's really into this is so into the roleplay aspect.

Speaker 10 So into it.

Speaker 2 Like you meet these psychos who are like

Speaker 2 really into characters at Disney, but there's also just people like, oh, this is a fun environment. Yeah, but these guys are seriously like, Milady, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you do you have the right instrument to open this door? With like they, they're they're too involved, they're too psychotic.

Speaker 1 It makes me nervous.

Speaker 10 And like, did you get your turkey leg? Like, they like to eat the big leg.

Speaker 1 It's too

Speaker 1 fucking

Speaker 1 what is it? What was that? I don't know. Ask her.

Speaker 10 It's just a cool video. I don't know.
It's a guy on TikTok.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but where is he?

Speaker 10 He's got VHS tapes and he's got a Tigger the Tiger behind him.

Speaker 2 He's got some dolls and poor lighting and poor framing. He's perfect for the show.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Christina. That one was seriously disturbing.

Speaker 2 In America.

Speaker 2 You can catch Sebastian on the It Ain't Right Tour now.

Speaker 1 Check him out

Speaker 1 on season two of Bookie this December.

Speaker 2 Did you like that song?

Speaker 1 See, this is, we grew up, we had home videos, right? Right. You did home videos and nobody saw them.

Speaker 2 Those stay at home.

Speaker 1 I know. That's true.
That's a great point. No,

Speaker 1 home videos make it on your show.

Speaker 2 It's amazing. My favorite is there's a whole lane.
We have a literal library of guys, usually guys, who turn the recording on and they just kind of

Speaker 2 look in the lens

Speaker 2 and then they upload that. They just upload.

Speaker 1 because they don't know how they don't know what's going on.

Speaker 2 They don't know that they're recording. And then they just see share and they're like, share.
And they just post it. And it's just them staring at the lens.
There's thousands of them.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah, this is a whole other world, bro.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a shame.

Speaker 16 Y'all want to see me naked, man. All you got to ask, man.
I'm here, man. All you have to do is ask, man, already.
But say, I'm the eternal stud, guys.

Speaker 16 Just ask me, man. Yeah, just ask me.
Yeah, I'm the eternal stud.

Speaker 16 Just ask me. Want to see no clothes anytime, anywhere, you know where to come.
That's right. Either come, and that's right.
And don't forget now.

Speaker 16 Do you like the hot dogs in the bun or you like it straight up? That's right. So we're going to see me.

Speaker 2 I've been in a hotel room with him.
