Very excited to be doing this live with a band and thrilled to be here in the Gramacy Theatre and like I said, thank you to Walmart and everybody who sponsored this and we're very excited to introduce our guest today. We have Sebastian Nanescalko.
Sebastian is one of my favorite comedians. I find him to be deeply funny, deeply physical. He seems super nice, even though I don't really know him. And we talked a little bit backstage, but then I said, let's stop talking. If the cameras aren't rolling, then this ain't worth shit is what I said.
So we're going to have Sebastian on, but we always like to start these podcasts by talking to somebody who knows our guest so we can talk well behind their back. It's a little different because Sebastian will hear everything now. So we are very excited to introduce a friend of Sebastian, a fellow stand-up performer who also is a co-host of the Pete and Sebastian podcast, which has been running now for 12 years and is an amazing podcast. Give it up everybody for Pete Corialli. Pete, we got to play on.
This is phenomenal. We've been doing it 12 years. We've never had to set up this good. Well, I know. You're already so good.
I can tell you're a good performer because as soon as you came in you were like, here we go everybody. Amy, I've been a performer for 30 years. Sitting here with you is one of the most exciting things I've got to do in my career. I'm not kidding. I'm not.
Amy was a little nervous backstage. She's never done a live dance before. I go to the best host of the Golden Globes that ever lived. This is a hiccup. Come on.
If the people in the audience aren't famous, then I don't know what to do. I just don't recognize any faces and it throws me off. That's hilarious. Okay. So Pete, how did you and Sebastian first meet?
We met doing stand-up. We met literally about 14 years ago in Canada. Montreal Festival put together this thing where we all stayed in Toronto in a hotel. And every night we would meet in a van. So we meet Sebastian in like four other comics from other countries, Guy from Australia.
I remember a guy from Ireland. But then we would shoot out to little theaters each night. And the first night in Madam, the first time in Madam, we were online to go through customs into Canada and he introduced himself. I never met him before. Then when we get to the hotel, I say, see you later tonight.
We got a first show that night. And we all get in the van. And Sebastian's the last one to get in the van. And I'm in the back of the van. And he gets in the van and he's got a shirt on a hanger.
And I'm in the back of the van. Nobody knows anyone. So we're all quiet. I go, what is that? You poofle on a shirt?
I go, oh shit, I'm making fun of him because he gets sweaty. Meanwhile, it's because he's physical and then he goes on to make 10 million disease. And I'm standing straight as a boy, leaning against a goddamn brick wall. Yeah, you got to have a performer shirt. You got to have a shirt.
But that's what we first met. Dress for the job you want, Pete. Dress for the job you want. Exactly. But we hit it off.
And you know, like you said, we've been doing it for 12 years. Yeah. And I bet it's similar to you and Tina in that like it's just sometimes we get together to do the cast and maybe you're not in the mood. So you call it the cast. We call it the cast.
Interesting. Yeah. We don't have quite as many viewers as you do. We don't have to do the cast. There's a silly podcast.
I don't pay attention to the numbers, Pete. I just do it for the fun. No, but you guys are so funny on it together. And I love watching you two. And I mean, you guys know each other really well.
And can I just ask you like, you've done it now for 12 years. This is my first year doing a podcast. How do you keep it fresh? Well, for us, it's because we just talk about our lives. When we first started to do it, neither one of us knew much about cast.
And I said, we both kind of read. Let's keep it consistent. That was number one. Number two, he won't guess. And he goes, well, I'm not really getting him.
I'm not getting him either. So if we want to keep it consistent, we figured no, no, no. And then we don't do anything topical. Like you could listen to anyone who I cast and you would know what year it's from. Because it's about, you know, it's about anything from going to someone's house and they make your shoes off too.
So it never, it is always something new to discuss. That's very, very smart. Yeah, you want to be able to catch up? Right. I unfortunately hold the newspaper up to the camera and every one of my.
Well, that's what yours is also more popular. Okay. Now you're a basketball player in college. Oh, well, Division III, Amy. So let's pump the brakes on that.
What college? I just said Division III. What so much does Division III? You don't care anymore. No, for Donia State is the college.
Okay. And what was the name of your team? The Fredonia what? We were called the Fredonia Blue Devils. Interesting.
I was in high school. It was the Red Devils. Really? Yeah. Can I ask you a pinion about something that you bring that up?
Where I live now, I live in a small town. I'm actually in the process of moving to Rochester, but I live in a small town called Fredonia. Okay. By the time this comes out, I'll be gone. I'll be gone.
I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone.
I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I will.
You'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. We're gone.
I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'm gone. I will be gone. Where are we?
I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. To thelocked outside. The formed.
I'm gone. I'll be gone. I'll be gone. I've got to be it. I swear to God.
And I don't care. Leave it because it's too expensive to change the basketball court. So we're just nobody in the FlPage complex. We'll be a part of it. Never ever at any time.
I'll talk to him about that. And he's like, we should never talk about that. And I said, Amy and Tina talked about it. I think you can. A bunch of aggressive nerds shouting jokes at you.
But I mean, a bunch of valedictorians. But you take it because it's all of it. Right? If it was James Town Community College, you'd have been out in there in 10 minutes, right? And it's just all of it.
You just take the punches. OK, so let's start this podcast with Sebastian. But I need to know, Pete, do you have a question you think I should ask? Yes. One question I think is Sebastian loves to entertain.
However, he also loves for people to leave when he's done entertaining. Yes. It's a very bizarre thing. It's like, I love to entertain and now go home. And you might want to ask him, what is it about why is there an end to when people come over?
Why does that bother you so much? And the other thing, Amy, I love this guy so much for so many different reasons. He's a warm, hard guy, but one big hangup he has is noises. It's called, he's self-diagnosed, misophilia. How do you know that?
Misophonia. Misophonia. Yeah. It's not diagnosed. He's never done anything about it.
But you could go around them and then a half out later they'll tell me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to stop it to go. So, but he has not gone and done anything about it. I'm not diagnosed. Perhaps if I want to ask him, why don't you take it any further?
I think it's because his comedy lives in irritation. Yes, yes, I know what you mean. These are great questions because I know a little bit about misophonia and I have a really hard time with mouth sounds in general. Like on the microphone, I'm looking at you NPR. A lot of water has, a lot of people have to drink water.
It's very stressful. So I'm going to talk to Sebastian about that. Yeah, very, very good. Okay, well, we're going to get started. Pete, you've been amazing.
Thank you so much. Thank you, Amy. Thank you all. Have a wonderful time. Everybody check out the pizza fashion show.
Thank you, Pete. This episode is brought to you by Walmart. If you're waiting to treat yourself, don't. Walmart Black Friday Deals is coming and now's the time to snag the items you've been eyeing for less. From fashionistas to toy lovers and tech enthusiasts, there's something for everyone.

Let's keep the momentum going for Sebastian, let us go. Oh, Sebastian. I want to tell you that I had a different shirt on and I changed when I saw what you were wearing. They told me backstage that. I had a t-shirt.
I was like, I wanted to be like, hey, who cares? We're all just, I just walked off the street. And then I said, you know what, you're a professional Amy and you need to treat this. You're a professional. Well, this is the first live show.
So I'm like, all right, this is like a big deal. Let me dress it up. I have another outfit just in case. But I felt like this was appropriate to wear a suit. Apparently, you thought you were going to go to a T-ball game.
Well, I would much rather be underdressed than overdressed, but I bet you'd rather be overdressed. Yeah, I am typically overdressed for occasions. I don't know. I always, growing up, my mother always used to tell me we're going to church, put your nice slacks on. We're going out to dinner.
So I always thought when we were leaving the house, you should look presentable. But nowadays, if you take around, particularly in this city, it's you roll out of bed and then you're at the wall break. So I don't know. I just feel like each other. So you're trying to tell me that you don't wear sweatpants and bring your own pillow on the plane.
That's not here. No, I don't. I never understood the whole pillow thing on the plane. I like that pillow thing. That's no offense, Gen Z.
But there's a lot of you guys are dragging around a lot of pillows. It's intense. OK, we have a lot to talk about Sebastian. Because you and I were both in Chicago. You grew up in Chicago.
Where exactly did you grow up? I grew up in Northwest suburbs of Arlington Heights, Illinois. So I wasn't in the city of Chicago. Right. And then you were.
What years were you there? So I was there 1973 to 1998. OK. Yeah, I was there at the same time. OK.
Just for a few years. So what were you there? Well, I went to, I did Second City. Yeah. And yeah, and a lot of people wanted to take class there and we did Chicago.
And I remember, like I just, the weather. The weather in Chicago is the thing you remember. Because it's punishing. Yes. When is the coldest you've ever been in Chicago?
The coldest temperature. I don't know. There's always like a windshield. So I don't know. I think it was like minus 15 one year.
So yeah, why? Do you have a record? No, Tim? I was just curious. Like, people that live in that area, you're doing this, you're proving my point, which is they don't really talk about the weather.
They don't care that much about the weather. They don't make it a big deal. Yeah, it's not a big deal. When you're living in it, it's just like the way of life. So we're not sitting there going, oh, it's really cold today.
How do you think this is a record? I don't know. It's brutal. And do you remember a restaurant in Chicago area? Did you go into the city?
Did you go into the city a lot? So we went into the city early on in my teenage years, 17 years old. I had a fake idea. We'd love to dance. We used to go to this place called Acapulco Bar.
Alumni clubs. So yeah, we were big dancers growing up. So there was a lot of good clubs in Chicago at that time. Really? It was a good club scene.
Did you ever go to Baja Beach Club? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, maybe I was going to Baja Beach Club. Did you ever go to a restaurant called Carlucci's?
I have, yeah. OK, I used to be a waiter there. Oh, really? Yeah. And I was thinking about our prep for today, and for people that don't know Sebastian's, dad was a Sicilian immigrant, is a Sicilian immigrant.
And Carlucci's was the first time I've learned about Italian fine dining in any way. Like I didn't know anything about it. Anti-posty, and semi-frito, and breadsticks. Those kinds of things. That's of course.
Were you waiting tables when you were living there? Were you working in a restaurant there? Or only after you came to LA? Funny you say fine dining. I started my waiting career at Olive Garden.
Oh, yeah. Great place to start. Great place to break in. And did you ever go to a place in Schomburg called The Living Room? Oh, yes.
I worked there. That was a very hot club. Like bar. I'm surprised we didn't cross paths. What kind of famous people came through the living room?
Do you remember? Not really. Not a lot of fame walking through the living room. But I remember he got cool club. It was a cool club.
Not a lot of celebrities came through there. Maybe Dennis Rodman, because this is the year where the bowls were hot. But yeah, so I worked as a waiter in the fine dining. By the way, this is the best lip balm. Right?
So you're kidding me. You're joking. I have to tell you. Because this is a sponsor. Oh, it is?
You'll an edge. And they're not sponsoring this. So we'll probably have to cut this out. But I use that all the time. It's the best.
OK. You like your products. Well, it's my wife likes products. And I'm in bed one night. She's like, here, you got to put this on.
I'm in a bed. She put it on. Hello, new lips. Incredible. In fact, you're reminding me, everybody who has lip balm, let's take a lip balm break while we just do something.
Because it's too much, right? It's so dry out. It's too much. OK. So you talked a lot on stage about how people should act in restaurants.
And I really relate. Because as an ex-server, as we like to call ourselves, you learn how to treat people in restaurants. You have strong opinions about how people should act in restaurants. Yeah. I mean, if you go to a restaurant, you should have some manners and be kind and not like, I put a napkin on my lap.
I don't know if that's out of style or if anybody's doing that anymore. But you know, just you should be polite to the server and vice versa. But I got a problem with servers nowadays. Tell me why. Just the way they come up.
They come up. And you're like, excuse me. Already the eyes are rolling. You know, it's like nobody wants to be there. It just seems like people are detached.
They're disconnected. Do you like when a server, this happens a lot in LA where you live, where we both live? Where someone will duck down and get the same level as you? Oh. I don't like that.
You know what I'm talking about? Like they're right here. They get right there. They get in real close. I don't like that.
I don't like that move. I just rather have them above in and out. Maybe a little talk here and there. But nothing like, you know, I don't want to know. Like, sometimes the waiter will go, oh, you know, I don't normally have that because I'm lactose.
You know, you're a guy. You don't need to know your medical history. Just bring out the murder. OK. And you talked also about which I loved.
I should point out, like, you know, as well as you being the most successful, having the most successful touring year of your career, would you say? This year? Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you.
And you've got a new special coming out in November. And you made a beautiful film about your dad with Robert De Niro playing your dad. Yeah, crazy. Well, crazy. And you're on the showbookie.
And you've got all these things going on. When you talk to your audience, I still feel Sebastian. Like, you're living a regular, normal life. Yeah. That's not always the case.
Sometimes when you see people on stage, they feel like they're talking about their koi pond or something. Like, that's their thing. But it does feel like you are still in it. You have little kids. Yes.
And one could argue, you're a little old for that. You've got little kids. I'm 52. And I have a six-year-old son. So that's a, OK, don't say that.
I like it because I love you on Instagram when you talk about how tired you are. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I waited a little. You know, I waited.
You have kids. And now I'm in the place. Nice. Look. Come on.
No claptor. No claptor. But your wife seems amazing. Lana, can you talk about her a lot? And she's, I've seen her on the gram.
She's a hot piece. She's 30 years younger. So yeah, so I'm trying to keep up with her. And she's an ex-GM-ness. So she's always doing flips.
She's always doing flips. She walks down the stairs on her hands. No way. Yeah. I've never seen that before.
But that's what I'm dealing with. So, uh, just you do that when she's angry, when she's upset. No, she's not. She's not really upset. She's one of these like, she's always got a smile on her face walking around the one that's constantly upset.
Yeah. But no, she's a ray of sunshine and she's a doll. And yeah, she's very athletic, very strong. And I am almost, I almost have my art card. I'm the same age.
We're the same age. Yeah, we're good with that. What are you enjoying about your 50s? So I'm glad I have kids this late in life just because, you know, I'm stable. I can provide them with, you know, a life that, you know, I'm not what these guys are.
I don't like it. My kids of life that I never had. I had a good middle class upbringing and whatnot. But as an entertainer, a performer, you want to get to a place where you're stable financially before you start bringing people into the world. And you know, this business, you know, could be here one day going to next.
So, you know, I got to a place where I'm like, all right, let's start a family. And I like being in my 50s. I just wish I was a little bit more, I don't know, I want to go play basketball the other day. I'm like, I don't remember to rim being this high. So, but it's nice.
That's an ACL nightmare. They'll be very careful. There's nothing worse than a bunch of guys in their 50s going back to play basketball. It is just tear after tear. I'm taking a little offense to this.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. If you didn't know how old I was, could you just, well, wouldn't you look at me and go, yeah, he probably runs. You're in terrific shape by the way. I'm not.
I'm really not. I'm hiding a lot with the suit. But I just don't feel like I'm not going to do it. Well, I get it. But I have to say, I remember having younger kids, my kids are teenagers now and the amount of play they have to do with kids is exhausting.
It's exhausting. Yes, it is. Play is a nightmare. Yeah. And when your kid, the worst thing to hear in the world is, daddy, can we play?
Yeah. Did you have a favorite play? Did you have like a, oh, this is, I can do this. I can, I remember having existential moments of true despair when I would come home from like shooting a long day and my kids would come up to me with, um, with Star Wars lightsabers. I'd be like, yay.
Now we can play. And I was just like, oh fuck. Like, oh no, I have to play Star Wars. Just like it was, it was the worst. And I, and I miss every second of it.
But Lana, did she come to your shows? Yeah, I mean, she comes, but I mean, it's- Did she hear tonight? No, no, no. She's playing with the kids. You've played huge stadiums.
You sold out, um, was it Madison Square Garden? Like, how many nights and over five, six, and incredible. Yes. Thank you. And what's it like playing a space that big?
My act is kind of tailor made for a large space. Obviously comedy is better enjoyed in a room like this, I believe. But once you start getting into arenas and whatnot, you know, I like to fill the room. I like to get up there and be physical and, and kind of prowl the stage. I'm not one of these guys that stands behind the microphone and tells jokes.
Nothing wrong with that. But for me, especially nowadays, you know, you're like yourself on fire up there for people to like pay attention. That's so true. You know, if they just, if you're not funny for, you know, an hour and 15 minutes, you could lose it. You know, someone could just go back into their phone or slip out of consciousness or whatever.
But I like to keep the people entertained, not only by telling the story, but also maybe acting out the story. It's not all physical, but you know, like- It's such a funny physical performer. You're so, I love watching you. And I read something that was really cool, was you designed your stage a certain way in your last special. Can you talk about that?
Yeah, so normally, I do it in the round and I had a round stage previously. And then this time I designed a triangular stage, which I could hit the points a little bit more. When you're doing a round stage, you kind of don't know where you're at sometimes in relation to like, have I been here for a while? Yeah. But with the points, you kind of like, no, okay, you know, I'm at this point, I'm at that point, I feel like I serve as the room better just by using the triangle stage.
Plus, you know, I made the screen above me trying to, I like production too when I do stand up. So I like to like pay attention to lighting as big. How is this lighting? I think this is beautiful. Do you like the people over?
We get people kind of on the side. I do, I know it's not. I don't know. It's a little disconcerting because you guys are the same height as us. So it looks like they're on a ride.
And then we got people in the back that are all, we can't see you, but we know that you're the real fans back there. That goes deep. It goes deep. It does go deep. By the way, and I don't know if you know this little trivia here and I don't know if anybody in the audience knows.
We did a movie together. Okay, we did a movie together and you know when it came out, you know what percentage of it was on Rotten Tomatoes? No, I didn't check the percentage. Was it bad? It was 7% bad.
That's right. That's the first time I met you. In 2014, we could call the house with just a young and up-and-coming guy named Will Ferrell, you know. And I picked the one fucking bomb that he made. I was like, a sign me up for that one.
No, him and I were in a movie that was so fun to make because he's the best called The House. And there was a scene where... Yeah, I was... By the way, I should say we were in a movie together. She was in the movie.
And I came in for a day. So I think we made the house like it was like a Vegas. And I was one of the performers in the living room performing to one, I think it was Rory Scoville. Yes, that's right. And I was just a day of work and that was early on.
It was one of my first movies I've ever done. Yeah. What was your memory of it? It was like, oh, it was a day. I came in and I met you or Will or any of those people.
So it was nice. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. I mean, I feel like... I remember that time and also you have been performing for a while. You're not an overnight success.
You've been putting the time in for a very, very long time and you've been working very, very hard. What is it? In the same way we talk about fatherhood at an age where you feel like you were ready to mature for it. Do you feel that same way about your fame and success? Same.
Yeah, in 1998 I started doing stand-ups. I worked at Four Seasons for seven years, getting my feet wet with stand-up comedy. I didn't have a movie or a TV show or anything that really propelled me into the mainstream. I feel even now too... I have a great fan base and what have you.
But I still feel like there's room for growth. But it took a while. I mean, what is it? About 2015? Shortly after we hit the house, 7%.
I gotta say, I just looked it up before and it's up to 20%. Oh, okay. Move it up. Move it up. It's inflation and it's...
Yeah. But no, it's a slow burn for me. That's great. Nothing comes easy in my life. So yeah.
Why does it think... What do you mean? It's just, you know, my father and I often discuss this. Like the Maniscalco family always has to take the long road to get there, right? There's no shortcuts.
Which I'm not looking for shortcuts. But once in a while it'll be nice to get a pop. What, how does your dad feel like he's taken the long road? How would he say he's taken it? I mean, he immigrated here when he was 15 years old and he had to learn a new language.
He's still learning the language. It's fun hanging around with an immigrant father who just doesn't know the words. So is there a word still that really makes you giggle that he... Oh, he goes, oh, you know your cousin is going to Ole Miss. Why?
Ole Miss, that, not Ole Miss. So there's still a lot of that. That one feels okay. That's what... That's like the hillbillies.
But he's an amazing story. And you wrote a film based on his story. And can you tell everybody how... I mean, I'm sure you answered this question before. It's pretty awesome to work with Robert De Niro.
I imagine. I was very nervous. What's that? Basically wrote a movie. Never thought it would get...
You know, I write these things. You never think they're going to do anything. But this one got picked up. De Niro's hands, he loved it. He wanted to read it out loud here in New York City with a bunch of actors.
So he read it out loud at a table. And after the table, he went up to him. And I said, so on. He's like, oh, man. And he left.
So I'm like, right. He's the end of that. And two weeks later, he got a call that he's interested in playing your father. And I'm like, you know, this is a guy that I got. You know, good fellas, casino posters on my wall.
And now he's going to play my dad in a movie. And then subsequently called my father down to Oklahoma where he was shooting a movie because he wanted to get to know my dad. No way. So he's like, dad, he wants to hang out with you? And my dad's like, how much am I getting for this?
So I'm like, you're going to go for three days. He goes, yeah, well, you know, he still cuts hair. He's still cutting hair at 79 years old. He's like, well, I got to readjust my clients. And I'm going to lose money if I go down there for three days.
And I said, just don't worry about it. I just go, so... He went and he spent three days with De Niro. De Niro was like, you know, taking notes how you wear your hat, how you hold your cigar. And you know, tell me how to say this in Sicilian.
So then he came back. And then De Niro wanted him to come to the set. And my dad's like, hey, don't hit a set. He was like, you know, a movie, right? With De Niro.
We grew up watching him. I was like, I ain't... I said, just come to the set and hang out. So my dad was on set teaching De Niro how to do blow out some dye jobs. So...
We should make it clear that Sebastian's father does hair. And was it a hairdresser for your whole life, right? Yes, we come out here until I left the house at 23. Does he still want to cut your hair now? He cut my hair about four years ago.
And I said, that's it. He's falling apart. I mean, he's falling apart. He's just falling off. It's not easy to get old.
No, no, it's actually at that age. Now, anytime I talk to my parents, it's like, you know, I'm not peeing, right? Okay. Is it true that Sicilians have great hair? I don't know.
I'm losing a lot of my hair. It's a lot of dust up there. It's a lot of pepper. It's a lot of fiber. It's a lot of pepper before I come up here.
I got to figure out someone back there. Like a parmajan. The parmajan. But you know, I do want to talk about you on stage because I love watching you perform because as we talked about earlier, you are physical. And a lot of people, you know, on stage kind of like neck down or disconnected from their body when they're telling jokes.
They're like telling it from their head. And you really do tell it from your body, your whole body when you perform. Did you always like to move as a kid? Like are you a physical guy? Like do you like, I know you like to dance?
I've seen you dance a lot. Like, do you, I mean, not to get to, you know, you don't know what to do. You don't know what I'm talking about. Well, I don't, you're talking about... I feel like you shake it out.
I sh- I sh- Come on, everybody knows you shake out. I shake it out. But it's not, I don't think it's because I have like an anxiety for anything. I see. My shaking out is a little bit more just, just for the performance.
I do like to move my hands and be physical and have facial expressions when I'm talking. Yes. I just took that and just made it a little bit more grand when I'm on stage. Do you have any people that when you were growing up like physical comedians that you loved? John Ritter is right.
I was just saying. He was my favorite. Right. Three's company for you. Young people.
Go watch three's company. Incredible. Unbelievable. Like a master of physical comedy, even though John was in stand-up, but I took a lot of what he was doing. I used to watch three's company, like Game Tape growing up.
Yeah. Over and over and over again. I was on a scene where he was on a hammock trying to get on a hammock and he fell off. So all those little movements. And he would hit himself and come up and have this day, he looked at me.
So all that stuff I really incorporated. So he was a big inspiration for me. But yeah, the physicality for me is it's just, it's fun to do. It's like a fun thing for me to do. And I got to keep myself entertained up there as well.
Yeah, I bet. Because you did what 80, whenever shows is here? Yeah, it was a lot. 84 shows I think I did. Do you ever do two days?
I used to, but no more. No more. No more. Just too tired at the end. Yeah.
Well, Tina and I were on tour and we would do, you know what our favorite thing was? A four o'clock show. You never do a four. No, I didn't do a four. You got to do a four.
You got to do a four. I'll change your life. Four. You're done by six. No, I like the concept.
I'm wondering if my audience would look at the ticket and go, wait, the four o'clock. I'm going to tell you, every single person at that four o'clock show was pumped. Am I wrong? They wanted to go to bed? They wanted to sleep?
Listen, that is nice for the audience. Come home and you're done with your. Go right, you're done with your. You're like snacking. How do you feel about sleep?
I always like to talk to people about sleep on good hang. What is your sleep routine when you're on the road? Is it different when you're home? Yes, it's difficult on the road just because I just came like last night. I had the worst sleep because three hours and the plane and I got to adjust and whatnot.
When I'm home, I am starting to go to bed sadly after I talk to my kids in. I love this. Talk to me about the time. So I'm in bed about, I'd say about nine o'clock. Incredible.
Sebastian, this is my audience. We have bedtime. All we think about is bedtime. We love bedtime. 9 p.m. is a winner move.
It is. I try to be consistent with the sleep just because if it starts to vary and then it gets screwed up on the other end because generally speaking I get up around six o'clock regardless of what time I'm going to sleep. Are you doing any sleep, eight sleep mattress ring? No, I have a CPAP machine because I have a breather or whatever that is. A breather?
Whatever the hell it is? I thought only like that. Exactly. I know it's usually an exact thing. Right, no.
Lucky for me, it's not just a man thing. You're right. It usually is a man thing. Have you ever heard a woman going, I got to travel with this thing? I've never heard of that, right?
I'm sorry. Not a lot of women are doing it. Well, I've always been ahead of my field. I'm pretty sexy stuff. It's pretty sexy stuff.
But yeah, I have a sleep apnea. So I wear a CPAP machine. I got to tell you, I love it. It's changed my life. I love it.
I would never change it for the world. I love it so much. It's totally changed my life. Anybody who's thinking about it, it's just fun. Anybody who wants to try it for fun do it.
Sweet. I've heard it's very beneficial. Incredible. Do you do it consistently every night? Of course.
You've got to do it every night. And it puts you right to sleep. It's like the sound. And it has air. Excuse me, water.
So it's like hydrating. So you never ever wake up with dry mouth, bad breath. No, any of that stuff, because you're always hydrated. You put your lip balm on. You're creams.
You hydrate. And then you look like a fighter pilot. You go to sleep. But what's your bedtime routine? Tell me about your lotion.
I bet you have a skincare routine. I do have a skincare. We'll put a little toner, a little face cream. And I put a little cologne on before. I got a little nighttime cologne.
Different than daytime cologne? Yeah, I shower prior to bed. So, of course. I say the last two years I've been doing a full body lotion from head to toe. Very good.
What kind of brand you got going there? Cut it out. It's a variety of different brands I can't recall. Because again, my wife is just giving me stuff. Here, use this lotion.
Okay. Smart, you don't want to give them free stuff. I get it. There's a lot of them I can't pronounce. Some of them are French.
Okay. So, and then I've been doing this cologne routine. Where I do five sprays in my palm. I get it hot. And I neck it.
And I go to bed. And then in the morning when I've been doing, and this is something maybe you can actually try tomorrow. I've been doing two different colognes. One on the front and one on the back. So, you get one cent common.
And one cent known. It's a beautiful technique. Wow. Are you in the men with cologne? Yeah, I love, I'm sure.
And also, the front back is genius. Oh. Because it's like, I thought I knew him. He's still in mystery to me. And tour all the time.
Who's making you laugh right now? Like, do you watch comedy? Do you like to go? No. No, I know.
I don't either. It's just a lesson in holiday to go. But like, what do you, what do you, how do you, do you watch stuff to make you laugh? Do you watch videos? Do you watch other comics?
I don't look at entertainment for the comedy of it. I look like a documentary. Yeah. I look drama. If I want to laugh, I got a friend back in Chicago saying, is George.
I'll call him. Tell us about George. He's one of these guys that just, he's funny. He's like, we can talk about that. He's funny.
He's like, we can talk about daily life and he just makes me laugh. So George is kind of my go-to for comedy. But as far as stand up comedy, I don't like watching it generally just because, I don't know. I mean, I like to laugh. I like to see what people do.
Maybe a special come on. I'll see five minutes of somebody and I'll just turn it off. If I really like it, the last one I watched from front to back was Yannes Pappas. Yes. Couple of special.
I thought it was really, really funny. And they called me out of night where I was so like giddy and laughing. So, generally speaking, I'm like documentary serious. I love it serious. I love it serious.
I love serious. Yeah. Whether or not you watch anything like UWatch reality TV, do you care about that? My wife got me into, love is blind. So, I know, what do you laugh at?
I guess the question is, do you believe it is? Sure. I mean, come at the concept of it, it's cute. Yeah. I'm gonna fall in love with somebody and then on the inside and then, you know, but that's half.
You know, you have to actually come out and look at the person, if they got no teeth. You know, that's probably... They got to walk down the stairs on their hands, for them to be worried to work their socks. I mean, love is blind is a, for me, like, for people who are listening or you might not know, you know, they talk They finally see each other after they meet each other just from talking. And my mirror neurons, I get so codependently stressed when those doors open.
And the body language was so stressful. When they're like, hey! When they go from arms open to just like pat pat pat. Oh, yoy. And the way that the body never lies, when they go in for the kiss and it's just like, they just turn their mouth away and give them the cheek.
Or she can do that too. But I can't handle that. So you like dark stuff. I mean, dark. I don't know.
I get serious moments I tend to laugh at and find funny. Like my wife will be telling me a serious story. And I'll just bust out laugh. He should, what the? What's wrong with you?
I don't know. I'm thinking about something that's funny and pertaining to what you're saying. Yeah. I know what you mean. Okay.
So you've got a new special coming out. Another hour plus a material. That takes you how long to get new material. I don't know. It's been averaging about three years.
Every three years I come up with an hour. It's difficult because what you want to do going into these specials is you want it to be equal to or greater than the last one. And it's difficult because a lot of comedians have a lot of their best material coming out of the gate because they've been working so long and now they're going to, you know, and then people expect a certain level from you. So I'll take it very serious to make these specials kind of special because I felt like my last one I was going through injury. I had sciatic pain on my right leg.
No way. And it was very hard for me to move around. Too much play. Too much play. A lot of play.
And I felt like I couldn't perform like I normally would perform just because I was in pain. I couldn't move. Plus I dressed in a tuxedo. I'm like, I'm going to try something different. Yeah.
I want to bring Vegas back to Frank Sinatra. I wanted the audience to dress up and this and 20 people dressed up. And I felt very hampered in tuxedo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanted to like kind of correct that with this special and I have no more sciatica and no more tuxedo.
Do you have a good sciatica stretch? Do you keep up on that? I do. I take a ball and tennis ball, a cross ball, what kind of ball? It's like a ball that you would buy to roll out your legs.
Okay. And I put it right here in my soas. Yes. And I roll it. You guys know what that is, right?
This is like a health related section. We're doing sleep. Now we're doing sciatica. We're going to sleep at the... We got to get all the tips.
Okay. Put it in your soas. And roll it. So you get on the floor and then you basically... On your stomach.
Yeah, you lay on it and roll. A lot of that. I'm really from my research, which is Instagram. A lot of the sciatic pain is coming from the front side of the body, particularly in the soas. And I have a very tight soas region.
Not to brag. I got a big soas. Okay. So what I'm learning, you and Pete have been doing your podcast for 12 years. What do you like about doing it?
What have you learned? What's the best thing about having a podcast? What do you like about it? What I use it for is long form storytelling. So Pete and I are like, he's a beard and peanut guy.
I'm a white and cheese guy. We're very opposites in the way we conduct our life. And he's so funny and so quick-witted and he's a great listener. And a lot of times when you're telling a story, that story has beats to it. And if somebody tells me, tell me a story about the crowd.
I'll look at the crowd and I don't know if you do that. I'm not telling that story because I know the attention span of where I'm going to go. I know the story needs to breathe and whatnot. But Pete allows me to really kind of go off on a tangent with a lot of the stories and he adds great commentary. So we're not guests driven.
We only have a lot of guests just because we have so much fun talking to one another. But we've been doing this for 12 years. It's like a recorded phone call. And we have a ball and that's kind of what I get out of the podcast. Pete was saying we don't really have.
I mean, we have a loyal fan base. I mean, nothing like this, this army you have that comes out to see. But it is, I mean, if you're looking for really just storytelling and comedic storytelling, that's what I believe podcasting has done for us is just give us an opportunity. Because when you do stand up, you need it to be tight. You need it to be hidden at all cylinders with the podcast.
You guys are whoever's listening to it. You're bathroom getting ready, you're working out and whatnot. So you chuckle here and there. It's funny. But it's been a pleasure working with him and we plan on doing it.
It's a labor of love for us. Yeah, that's great. And the best thing about it, I feel like, is with these longer extended conversations, you can figure out how you feel about things in real time. You can hear people sort through their value system in a way, but also they figure out life in real time with someone else. It's kind of cool to hear that.
And because of that, I want to throw out some things and I just want to get your take about how you feel about them. So we're going to do a little speed round. Okay. Okay. Shoe is households.
Okay. So be debate. Because I do a joke about going over to somebody's house and they ask, can you please remove your shoes? And I'm like, I'm a grown man. I don't feel like I should be walking around somebody else's house in my socks.
I just don't feel confident. Once a man loses his shoes, you can't really debate any other man. It's like you're in your socks guy. But there's people out there that are very adamant how dare you come in with shoes on. You know how much stuff is on the bottom of your shoes.
You're going to traipse that into the house. Yeah. Okay. Fine. I get it.
It hasn't been a problem for me for the last 52 years. I know I've never got sick. I'm like, what the somebody coming in with their shoes on? So if you come out of the house, people will be kind of like, oh, do you want me to take my shoes off? And I feel so good.
Like, nah. Leave a man. Especially women, man. They love shoes. They come over with a nice heel.
What they're like, okay, let me take this. I know they walk around barefoot. Have you seen the bottom of some people's feet? What's on? What's on?
What kind of bacteria? That might be even worse than a shoe. Now, people was talking once about me, Saphonia. Are you a germaphobe? I'm not a germaphobe.
I wouldn't say I'm not wiping down the plane seat when I walk on the plane. But I'm like, I often look at people and how they conduct their lives. I go, hi, how are you? You've been doing that here. I just feel like there's no, like, you know, you go on an airplane and people will take their shoes off on their barefoot and then they walk into the bathroom here.
Oh, not okay. So, with this, Saphonia, if you don't know what it is, and it's, again, Pete said I was not diagnosed with it. His question, I think, was when are you going to get properly diagnosed? What's going on? I mean, too, I just feel like if you were opening up a bag of chips right now and eating the reedos, my window of tolerance for that is very small.
Yeah. It's going to be anything. You know, typing. Heavy typer. You don't like a heavy typer?
Oh, God. I mean, like, if you're like banging on a keyboard and you're at Starbucks and I'm waiting in line, I will just hear the keyboard and nothing else. I can drown out all other songs. Like a Tom Cruise movie. Like it's amazing.
It's amazing. It really is amazing. I don't want to get rid of this because I feel like not only do I have a sensitivity to sound, but also just people in general, their behavior. And I feel like if I lose the misaphonia, I'm going to lose the ability or my radar to the fact that that that guy hasn't laughed at all. Right.
So that's why I keep the disease. Wedding registries. Wedding registries. Oh, that's a good one. We had a registry.
We got married. I have no problem with it. I don't pay attention to it because again, growing up in Italian family, we often brought money to the wedding. So you put like some cash in an envelope and then you don't bring a toaster or blender or whatever. I just need a nice cash envelope.
I think everybody likes a, especially when you're getting started. It used to be, you know, people got married kind of young and they needed a start. Right? Oh, here's $500. Here's my song to get your life started.
But now it's like, I don't know, man. The parents are bankrolling a lot of these kids today. I mean, it's amazing. I got silent in here because maybe some of the people are in here. This is New York City.
Look at how quiet it got. We mother paid for the tickets tonight. Yeah, everybody turned to their mother who they're with and said, I don't know what he's talking about. Is there anything in a wedding that people do that dries nuts? I'm not into taking home food and this is big in the Italian culture.
They'll go to the sweet table. And they'll take a styrofoam to go thing that they hand out and they'll take the cookies and the soy and towel. They'll take it all home. I'm like, come on. I want to have this for breakfast tomorrow.
I just think it's a tacky move. I don't like to go at a wedding. I've never seen that. No, I'll come to one of my weddings. You'll have to see it.
Pets, should people have them? Should we have pets? I have to tell you, I've never had a pet until a year ago. I got a dog. We got two dogs now.
So we got them for the kids. I'm not a huge animal lover. I like animals, but I'm not coming home. I don't take it out to get coffee or take out an airplane. I just felt like we had a pet in the neighborhood growing up.
His name was Edelow. It's the male version of Italy. That's the name the dog, Edelow. And it lived in the garage. You're wrong.
It would be 13 people. The dog would be in the garage. I don't know. It was just kind of like there. It wasn't like the focal point of the home.
Right. Okay, now the dog's up here and it's the pet. It bothers me. I'm sorry. It's just...
What kind of dog? Kids forget it. I'm sorry. I'm allergic to cats. That's why I don't like them.
But God, I don't even go to people. I got a good friend. I got a cat. I got two cats. I go, I can't come to the house until the cats die.
I can't. Yeah. Amy Miles has cats and she had a cat that really tried to almost like become your lover. Like the cat would. And I was saying, I feel the same way about cats.
I feel fine with them. And I think they're great. But I don't really want... I'm a tiny bit allergic, like just a little bit so I try not to touch them. And because of it, they're obsessed with me.
I just ignore them and they just come up and crawl and they get in your clothes and Amy used to have a cat named Nosferatu who would try to suck your spirit out of your mouth. So I understand. Yelling. Yelling. How do you feel about yelling?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. That gets on the same level as their kids and it's just it's telling me what you're going through. It's not that I think a good dose of a yell, not a lot because with raising kids you have to act sometimes like you're psychotic. And if you lose your composure the kids will go, WOW we don't want to see that again. So a good yell I think every now and then sets the family straight.
I agree. Oh, you're getting some applause. Oh, you're surprised. I'm surprised. You're getting applause from the parents and the people who paid for the kids.
Santa Claus. We had a problem with Santa Claus. Again, this is another thing I'm not into. My daughter accused my wife and I of being Santa Claus. This is when she was five years old.
And I wasn't ready for it. I thought Santa Claus discussions normally happened maybe around eight to 10 to 11. So I'm like, what the five? That's a little young. So I came out of the room.
I asked my wife, I go, what, get on this text so that you're with the moms and find out what's going on at school. Yeah. We found out that a lot of parents tell their kids there's no Santa because they don't want to lie to their kids. Right? I'm thinking that's all I do.
It's lie to my kids, right? You tricker it. You're going to see better. Yeah, so I got so upset. Yeah.
I was at a Christmas party. There was a Santa Claus there. So I'm telling Santa generally speaking when I go to these parties, you dance, I talk to like the waiters and the people that are working at the party. I got it again. So I'm talking to Santa.
You're on the back of the house. Yeah, I got the house. We got the house. So I talked to the Santa and I said, you know, kid don't believe in it. He goes, well, I offer a service where I could come to the house.
So yeah, this is Los Angeles. Can you believe it? I come to the house on Christmas Eve. I'm not going to get out of the house now, right? So 12, 30 at night, this guy comes.
I go to my robe and I drive. I come to the church over here and say, here comes in. I wake up the kids. I go, Santa's here. We come.
We look at Santa and then Santa and then the kids go back to bed. I peel off three hunch for this drunk Santa in my house. And now the kids have, you know, they didn't believe again. So I highly recommend if you get a Santa to come to your house. It's incredible.
Incredible. Wow. I guess the last question I want to ask you is Sebastian. And thank you so much for your time. And again, check out Sebastian's new special on Hulu and all of the good work that is doing.
It's so great to have you. Thank you so much for doing this. It's been so fun. Can you just talk me through how you cook your steak? Okay.
Because it feels like what I've read is that you do a reverse sear. I want to talk about it. Okay. I like these questions. So I found this video is about 10 years ago online about the reverse sear.
Basically what it is is, is you take the steak out of a refrigerator, you leave it set for about 30 minutes, get at the room temperature. I like to do mine about 45, 50 minutes. Just let it get used to the atmosphere. What kind of cut are we talking about? I used to like ribeye.
Now I'm on to New York's New York strip because the ribeye got a lot of fat on it and at this age, you know, I could go at any minute. So when New York strips steak and I heavily salt it and heavily pepper on it right from the hair. And then I set the oven to 275. I put it in there for about 45 minutes. After the 45 minutes, I take it out.
I let it rest for 15. All the while I got a cast iron skillet, white hot. I do a sear for about a minute. Each side cut and serve with a little rosemary lining the serving plate. I like garnish on a plate when it comes to the table because a lot of times when you have steak, there might be a little blood or whatever kind of moving throughout the plate.
And I like the stems of rosemary. It kind of gets a nice touch. So anything else in the pan? Like no butter? No, I know a lot of people do a little oil, maybe with garlic and then they kind of base it with the spoon.
No, this is a you don't need it. You want a you want to you want to a shout out and a sponsor for this snake river farm meat is probably the best meat that you can get. You got to order it online though. I've been promoting this this meat company for a while and not one free fully. I'm the guy that gets nothing like any probably has a bunch of stuff coming to the house.
Swag. Here's this. Here's that. We understand you're going to band. Here's a guitar.
I get nothing. Nothing is sent to me. No hair. Try it. I got no boxes.
The DJ Khaled is constantly opening up a watch or shoes. I got nothing. And what's your sides before you go? I need to know what do you serve in with your steak? So we like to do a fingerling potato.
Whoa. Not what I expected. What would you expect? I expected a whipped or a mashed. It's funny to say that I started doing mashed because my kitchen is being remodeled right now.
I can't cook but I started doing mashed potatoes prior to the kitchen remodel and you know it's a little bit labor intensive. Yeah, it's not easy to get a good mashed. Yeah, it's not easy to get a good mashed. But the fingerling is sufficing for now and then I'll put a green in there. I'll put a broccoli.
I'll put a little asparagus. I'm trying to get the kids to eat healthy with this kind of grab and go stuff that I'm not into the processed foods. Although I'm not saying that it comes eating so well. But you know you want to give the kids a nice. You know you're a little tip I tell people with young kids and I'll share with you too.
I learned it from my brother who lives in Sweden with his Swedish wife and family. They do this and I don't know if it's sweet. It's probably not Swedish. It's just what they do. But like when dinner time is almost ready like that hungry time when you're 536 when the kids are about to eat and food is cooking.
They just put a big plate of vegetables with ranch or hummus on the table and your kid is hungry and they eat a bunch of carrots and celery just as a snack as it's not part of their dinner. But the minute you put it on the plate with anything like pizza or a pasta I think they're not going to eat it. But if you slide it in there before dinner when they're hungry they'll have a few carrots sticks. They don't even know they're eating it. You know it does sound good in theory.
Okay. But how prone are you to cuts your carrot radishes? You have this beautiful tray of vegetables and one carrot and then who's eating the rest of the vegetables right? Are you even an astronaut? No.
They're going in an garbage. You're right. Cutting too many vegetables is a nightmare. But I would take a vegetable over a fruit any day. What's your vegetable?
Favorite. Well I love anything in the pea family so I love a pea. I love it. You know what do you call it a? Yeah.
Snap pea. Thank you. I love it. I love an asparagus. I love a potato.
It's like I was a vegetable. Yeah. Mushroom. I love a mushroom. Okay mushroom.
So what's your favorite fruit? I feel like some kind of like savory like a chicken curry with mushrooms and rice. No, no, no. Food. Food.
You did your food? Oh you said fruit? Yeah. What's your favorite fruit? Oh, shit.
My favorite fruit? Yeah. Is um, I don't know what plum. A plum? Oh.
What's your favorite fruit? What's your favorite fruit? Fruit is a banana or a strawberry. It's a toss up. Yeah.
It's a vegetable. I like an asparagus. I love an asparagus. I find it chews. I go strawberry or banana over a vegetable.
You eat fruit over veggies. Well, you got this audience. As we wrap up, I guess raise your hand. Raise your hand if you go fruit over veg. Wow.
I can't even see the people at the top. That's impressive. The people on the side on the park ride are all veg. Nobody's voting fruit. Unbelievable.
Well, you found your audience a vegetable. I did. Give it up everybody for Sebastian. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me here.
