Transcript

[A]

This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corieli and Sebastian Maniscalco.

[B]

Pete and Sebastian show. Coffees in hand. Eats out in Rochester. Looks cold there. Based on just the overall, you know, I, I, I could tell, I mean, if it was, let's say we just dropped in from Mars and we were doing this, I could tell by the overall aura of you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That you are in a cold climate. Not because of the sweater. There's like a lack of circulation, blood moving through your face right now.

[A]

I'm just. Jesus, God, that's so funny, man.

[B]

I recognize it because I, I've been there. I grew up in Chicago for 24 years, and I know during the winter, just look in the mirror and, like, it's dry your lips. It's, it's just, it's not a good environment for looking vibrant. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

No, yeah. No, I absolutely agree. And while you're on that subject, you reminded me, just want to give. This is, as we say, it's a lifestyle show for the listeners out there. If you know about this. Sorry if you don't. My mind was blown. So was Jackie's. When you lived in Chicago, perhaps this used to happen to you. A lot of times we get slits in our fingers in the winter. It's so annoying. Like, crazy. A couple weeks ago, Jackie's got a friend visit, and I was on the road, and Jackie goes, oh, my. I got the freaking slits. And the friend goes, bro, did you know this? She goes, it's just crazy gluing. And Jackie's like, what? And she goes, yeah, that's what my husband does all the time. Jackie takes a little crazy glue. I've been doing it ever since. She goes, pete, oh, my God. I put it right on the crack, and then you push the crack closed, count to like five, pull your finger away, and it's glued shut. No pain, back to life. They even have a more healthy version of this that you can buy in the store that is specifically glue for the fingers. But if you have crazy glue, fuck it, just use that. So I'm loaded. I got crazy glue running through my blood right now because I have like four or five of these things, and I've been glueing left and right. Holy shit. The other day, I'm in the hotel, I went to bite my nail, and I'm like, jesus, my nail is kind of long. And it wasn't even nail. It was a layer of crazy glue that was on my nail that, you know, when I got messy, when I was Getting a slit, spitting that out. But anyway, that's what you use.

[B]

But anyway, listen, bro, I dare say. Gluing. Gluing your skin shut, you have reached a. Just another level of white trick, Dare I say. I mean, I glue in your fingertips, bro.

[A]

Listen, if yet people go to the comments section, you're gonna. It's gonna be loaded up next week with, oh, my God, I do that. Or what? A great tip mostly. Probably people going, yeah, we. I do that. Patrick, can you get a hard Google, no rush on the actual medical. I think you can get by it at like a drugstore. Like, it's called liquid skin, I believe.

[B]

I think I heard. Well, while you're doing that, also look up the dangers and symptoms of Elmer's glue in the bloodstream.

[A]

Crazy glue, by the way, bro, just for the record. And I. I don't like to, like. I'm working on that. You make fun of me, so I come back at you. I don't want to do that, but you're not exactly glowing either. I know. It's been raining.

[B]

I knew it was coming. I knew it. It's all right. It's all right. I'm glowing. I'm glowing and you're not. That's it. You can't.

[A]

Hilarious. Oh, take it back, bro. Where are we going with a lot to cover today. All right.

[B]

Yeah, we got a lot to get into here. Pete Sebastian show. I don't know if I should start with what I sent you yesterday, but it's fresh.

[C]

It's so funny.

[B]

It's fresh on my mind. And I think we have to hash this out on the cast. Now, we all know the Chicago Bears, and I refrain from saying my Chicago Bears. I'm not into this. My. You know, like, oh, my Giants, my Jets. It's the Chicago Bears. It's nothing to do with mine or yours. I don't possess the team. So they. I don't know. It's like every time I watch the game, I'm having a stroke, right? Just because fourth quarter seems to be their quarter, they come back. I wrote them off at 213 when they're playing the Green Bay packers last week. Now they're playing LA Rams in Chicago. Now, I don't know if I mentioned this on the cast. I think I did that. I reached out to the. The owner of the Bears or one of the owners, a family member of the Bears, who had reached out to me after I was a participant, I believe, in the 2022 draft with Matt Forte on stage, right. We announced The Bears pick after that. Anything you need, right, get a hold of me.

[A]

Well, very funny. We talked about on the cast. It was very funny.

[B]

10 days ago. I reached out to him, I got nothing back.

[A]

Okay, I'm sorry, did you say 2022 or 2024 draft?

[B]

I think it was the 2022, 23 draft. Around that time, maybe two, two years ago, two, three years ago, say three, they drafted a cornerback. I forget his name if you just want to look up too. Sebastian Maniscalco.

[A]

Well, you bring up a, A good thing that we didn't totally dissect with this last week is what, what's your take on what's the window of a non contact then calling in a favor? I mean, there is a shelf life, isn't there? Like you can't call me 20 years later and go, hey, I need a favor.

[B]

Right? Hold on, hold on. Yeah, it was 2022, Kyler Gordon. That's who was the pick for the Bears. But to get to your point, when you say, hey, anything I could do, let me know. What if there's nothing to do within the six months of the offer? Then the offer is wiped off the board.

[A]

I mean, personally, I give it a five year window. Five year window of emailing me if there's anything I could do for you, especially for what you did. I mean, you were on television representing the team. That's like you didn't.

[B]

You know, I, I think that's a lifetime favor. Whatever you need in your lifetime, let me know.

[A]

Lifetime. You didn't even talk though, you said. Right, you said the other guy talked.

[B]

Yeah, well, listen, I'm not saying that. What I did up there was spectacular and drove a lot of traffic to the Chicago Pierce. I didn't say anything. However, I took time out, went there. I was in Las Vegas. It's not like I'm just saying that.

[A]

And I agree with you, it's not your team when you say my Bears. However, since then, up until now, if you had been saying oh my Bears and been following the team and publicly saying more about them along the way, attending a game or two when they were not doing as well, I don't know if that you'd be in the pickle that you're about to explain right now. I doubt you would.

[B]

Hey, maybe if I was one of these fans that was bared down every weekend, sitting on my couch with a jersey on. Yeah. And posting. Did you see that game? But I'm a 52 year old grown man with a family, with obligations, so.

[A]

Right, right.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Now, listen, I'm the same way with the Jets. When you get good, I'll fucking watch again. Jesus Christ. But I have a family. In the meantime, while you suck, I'm gonna go rake my leaves and spend the afternoon with my family. Get good again, and I'll sacrifice time with my child.

[B]

Okay, That's. That. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

Yeah. We're that fan. But then there's a fan that's decorated a room in his house.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

With all. With everything. Bears from a Peyton jersey framed behind him to three or four TV screens, you know, and he's got the Bear mug. And then he's. He's. Yeah.

[A]

He's got the dad that's gotta watch alone. You ever see that dad? Yeah. Got a. I know a few of those. Don't bother dad during the game.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Jesus Christ. I didn't know dad was the offensive coordinator. The.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So we're not those guys.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Okay. So no call, no nothing. So this week, I'm thinking, man, it would be nice to go to Chicago for the Rams. Now, my family is invested in this. Not necessarily Lana, but the kids and I. Lana went away this weekend, and I had the kids for four days, and we watched the game, me and the kids, on Saturday, and we had a ball. They were into it down to the wire. They're screaming. They had a little dance they were doing. So it was. It was fun. So they're. They're. They've been invested in the Bears all year. I said it'd be nice to go back to Chicago, see my father, surprise my dad, show up on his porch on Saturday night. Right? Because I can't go anytime earlier than Saturday because I have a gymnastics meet that I have to attend that Seraphina is in. So I figured we go Saturday night, we go to the game on Sunday, right? Take my dad, and then we leave Monday. Martin Luther King, we leave on Monday. Okay? So I reach out. I. I tell my publicist, reach out to the Bears organization and see if they have, like, you know, a suite available. I'm not looking to take over a whole suite. I'm just looking like, dude, I got a suite available that we could jam into, Right? I've done that here in Los Angeles.

[A]

And might not understand. It's like, four seats within a suite.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's. It's not a big ask. There's a lot of, like, suites with.

[B]

Extra seats and not even. I don't even need a seat, you know? A lot of these suites, they have the seats, but you're standing up, you're talking to people. There's games on the tv, you know, it's not like you gotta sit there and watch the game as a family of four and four premium seats. Just get me into the building. You know what I'm saying? That's all it is.

[A]

Yeah, I'll take it from there. I'll get down to the field on my own. Just get me in the fucking building.

[B]

Yeah, I. I gotta find the. The. The. The message. Because, my God, bro, I. I'm just gonna read it verbatim. So this is the message after my publicist reaches out and I don't know who this woman is. I don't know if she is part of the Bears organization in the. In the PR department, but this is it. I. Thanks for reaching out. This is. She's talking to my public. Big fan of Sebastian, myself. You read that, you go, okay, they're rolling out the carpet.

[A]

Here we go.

[B]

Jerseys on arrival.

[A]

Maybe a meet and greet with a player or two.

[B]

Walk it, Hill. I talk to Ben Johnson before the game.

[A]

Photo, team photo in your head. You're going, who's gonna watch the kids when I do the coin toss?

[B]

We do not have any indoor seating slash suites available at this time. Okay. Now, as I read that, I go. I'm a little like, okay, now, now, you ever read an email? But, like, as you're reading it, you're almost forecasting the email. Like, what's to come after that? So I read that and go, at this time, then I think I'm going to get. And however, we could put Sebastian in the medical tent on the field or whatever. Right, right.

[A]

I'm thinking folding chairs on the 50. I'm thinking that, however is going to be bigger than the. Unfortunately, the suites are not available. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

And I didn't even get an unfortunately there. I just got a. We do not have any indoor seating. Okay. At this time. And I think we talked about this, and when you. When you hear an unfortunately.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's never good news after that. Oh, right. So I don't know why people even do that. Because it's like a double hit. It's like, unfortunately, you can't go. You know, like, it's.

[A]

Yeah, the unfortunately is telling you, like, if there's something, grab a railing, something, because you're not gonna like what's coming. You know, you're not gonna like what's coming. It's a warning. I love it. I don't like it.

[B]

I'd rather just be hit in the face with. You can't come.

[A]

No, I like. The pilot comes on, unfortunately, and I'm already going. You don't even hear what he says because I'm already yelling. But. Yeah, so. But you didn't get that. I didn't get that.

[B]

I didn't get that. I got seats, suites available at this time.

[A]

But.

[B]

Oh, lot of. But there's another option here. If he is. Okay. Sitting outside.

[A]

Listen, you gotta be careful here, bro.

[B]

You don't wanna. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[A]

It's worth.

[B]

Okay, listen. Four degrees, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We've already established. I ain't that type of fan. I don't get. I don't got a jersey on my wall. I'm not a that type of guy that I want to be there. Right, right, right. To cheer on the team and have the beer. The Bears hear my cheers, you know?

[A]

Right.

[B]

I don't need to be having the ref hear what I'm saying to the ref. Come on. I don't need to be that close.

[A]

No, but you did just say earlier that you just need to be in the building.

[B]

No getting in a suite. Now, listen, listen, bro. All right, I. I know how this is coming off. Some of the listeners going, oh, we love. We love Pete. We love Pete. How down to earth he is. And he's like us.

[A]

I have to be. That's because I have to be. I aspire to not be outside either. In the meantime, I'll pretend I'm a team player because I have no choice. I love you. Rarely throw down this card at all. So it's funny, it's humorous, and obviously, you know, you're being that guy right now, and it's funny.

[B]

Everybody gets it, bro. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

And listen, we discussed last week, I think about me being on the perimeter of society, of like, perimeter of the entertainment world. Even in high school in the perimeter and never in the popular group. So. But I'm thinking here, I'm a Chicago guy, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Born and raised in Chicago. I, I sweat Chicago. Right. On top of that, I just had a special on Hulu that was shot at the United Center. So it's not like I'm some schlub, you know, it's not like I was 20 years ago calling back home going, hey, I just did the Comedy Store. Can you get me a ticket?

[A]

You know, it's not like, can I add one? Can I add one? When CBS wants somebody famous to talk about Chicago with the Bears, they, they have you. Even the TV people have you. I've seen it. They ask you so it would make sense. I see that. I totally. Now, out of curiosity, can I just throw a few, few names out? Hypothetically, we pretend that they're from Chicago. Where do you think you stand? Because, like, you always say, you're on the fringe, but I'm not sure many people beyond a BP or a DiCaprio could get the suite in this situation. Like, no disrespect, I'm a big fan. Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's from Chicago. He makes the same request you just made.

[B]

Well, let's just, let's just take people from Chicago.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay, perfect.

[A]

I don't know who that might be.

[B]

Okay, let's. Well, people who are synonymous with Chicago. Oprah Winfrey.

[A]

Oh, she probably has a suite. She owns one there.

[B]

I mean, maybe on half of the.

[A]

Team I wouldn't be surprised. She might have been the one who said no to. You.

[B]

Bring up prominent Chicago figures, like. Yeah, I'll give you an example. At my own high school, when it says prominent alumni, I'm not listed.

[A]

Oh, come on, guy. Come on. What? Let's call the principal right now. That'd be a great bit. He'd be like, oh, my God, it's such a pleasure to talk to you. You're like, really? Well, then you think I'd be on the wall? All right, go ahead.

[B]

I'm sorry. Barack Obama.

[A]

Guy, lower the bar.

[B]

I mean, I'm just saying.

[A]

Yeah, he said they are going to be there. You're naming the ones that are going to be there so far.

[B]

Okay. Bill Murray.

[A]

Legend. Legend, yeah.

[B]

Chance the Rapper.

[A]

If he's there, you should be there.

[B]

Kanye West.

[A]

But do you think if Chance makes the call, the request that you made, do you think Chance is in?

[B]

I. I don't know. I. I don't know. Like, I don't know. I'll give you better. That Common, another rapper. He's from Chicago. I think he has a better chance than Chance the Rapper.

[A]

Wow. I'm not. Yeah. Once you get past Barack and. And Oprah, it's like I. And build. Yeah, I think you should.

[B]

Okay, so when they pan to the Sweets this weekend, I'm going to be very interested to see who's there. All right.

[A]

I also want to say, now that I think about it, when you sent me your. The message to show me, it was very funny because the text you sent, didn't you. I saw the original thing. Didn't you request six?

[B]

I did.

[C]

That's a lot.

[A]

That's almost your own suite, man. That's starting to become your own suite.

[B]

That's a lot. But I went high. I went high to go low. We can't give them six, but we could give them two. I just wanted, you know, like, I just wanted to see what I was. Could get over. That's a lot. And six might be a lot for an arena. It's a stadium.

[A]

It's a stadium, but it's a suite. And I think. See, I think you're wrong, though. I think that this woman is a fan, and she was in a position where she's like, I can't tell this guy, I can get you two. He clearly wants six. Maybe I can get him something outside for six. But, like, you know what I'm saying? If you had came in and just said, hey, can you get me. I love six, but I'll settle for whatever you can get me. They may go, oh, yeah, we got three for you. You know, something like that.

[B]

I would have thought so, too, but, like, I didn't read the rest of the message. We do not have any indoor seating available at this time. But if he's okay sitting outside, I could put in that request. Put in that. We're not even talking to the woman who could do anything. Right? Put in that request to our ticket office to see what inventory, Tory, if.

[C]

Any.

[B]

Is still available, bro, I might as well be on StubHub.

[A]

Oh, my God. Again, I think what bothers you more, and it's so your personality. You don't even mind not being able to go to the game because you even mentioned too, your old man might not even want to do all that as opposed to watching in the comfort of his own home. However, the fact that you can't, as you would say, I'm doing it, but the fact that you can't get it done is annoying. Right? Like the party. You don't want to go to all those Hollywood parties, but you want to be invited. You want to be invited.

[B]

Give me an invite so I could turn it down, you know, Right. I want to go to my dad. I go, listen, I got tickets to the game if you want to go. If not, you know, give them away, you know, like, that's what I want. But I can't even call them and go. I go, you want to watch it in your living room? Because we're gonna be out in the fucking parking lot tailgating.

[A]

Yeah, you can. I don't think you could do that just in general, because it would be. Can I get a photo? Can I get a photo? Can I get. It would be like a lot of that, too. I thought the game was in LA until you said that today. And I know this cast is coming out after the game, bro.

[B]

I would have bet I would have had a better chance of getting tickets in Los Angeles and Chicago. I could have got the suite in Los Angeles, no problem. No problem. We heard you.

[A]

Nine years of bring back the snack wrap and you've won. But maybe you should have asked for more.

[C]

Say hello to the hot honey snack wrap. Now you've really won.

[A]

Go to McDonald's and get it while you can.

[B]

My own hometown.

[A]

I don't know when you want to mention what Patrick told you today. On top of that, it's like, now.

[B]

One of my favorite players on the Bears, Running back number 25, Manang Guy, reached out and wants to be a guest on the cast. It's freaking awesome.

[A]

Awesome, man.

[B]

Now. We got to do that next week. We got to get this happening. We got to get Manangay. It's. I don't know if you're familiar, bro.

[A]

You got to be doing having them on leading up to the Super Bowl.

[B]

Listen, can Manangai get me into a sweep?

[A]

Just be like, listen, your family's probably in a suite. Ask your mom and dad that. They got three or four extra seats. I can slide in there with my family. I'll pay for the moves.

[B]

Well, this would be a great question for Watt as a player can. Do they get a certain amount of tickets for the family? And if so, where are those tickets located?

[A]

Again, it depends on your level of stardom on the team. Like some guys getting a contract where they get their own suite.

[B]

And we didn't get a Watts family.

[A]

Didn't. Hasn't watched a game outside since his rookie year, I'll tell you that much.

[B]

Watt has not responded to any of the texts that were going on last night, which I don't know if he's off the grid. Normally he's pretty good with that. And we got ghosted last night. Dare I text Watt now to see if he could come on and explain picketing in the NFL?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

We're gonna text him a zoom link, see if he could pop on who's.

[A]

The owner again, you were saying? Of the Bears. McCaskey, man, bro, I, I seriously think. I know I asked that question, but I'm saying something different. On a side note. We gotta, we gotta have. I'll have, I'll have cancer first. Do a little bit of a deeper dive into this high school situation of yours. And we might have to have the principal on because, I mean, like, I mean, unless Meryl Streep and, you know, I don't know who else went to your high school. I don't know why you're not on.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, I'm not in. I'm not in there. Last I checked, I was not in there even donated to the, to the soccer team. I donated some cash. Wow. To decide anything to get some equipment.

[A]

And a bench and whatever the Pete and Sebastian show.

[B]

Watts on. Watts coming on.

[A]

Batted down and intercepted. Intercepted by JJ Watts. Touchdown Houston, Nico and KOA.

[C]

Do you guys understand the ability to just have me on call and I show up the second you text?

[B]

It's, it's, it's unbelievable. I, I, I didn't even think we were going to get a response based on the ghosting last night on the text thread, but, man, it's amazing, bro.

[C]

It's unbelievable. I mean, text me and I am on video 30 seconds later. Highest quality possible. Ready to roll. Enter fans. It's Pete. Looks like he's in 1972. I don't know what's going on with this background. He's got like a sapia filter on. He's got a coffee mug from Downton Abbey.

[A]

You caught me in between takes.

[B]

I'm.

[A]

I'm recording my Christmas album right now. No, thanks for coming on.

[C]

No problem. Anything for you guys. Whatever you need. I mean, God forbid you just research my name, my kids names, 30 seconds ago. But hey, if you need ratings to pop, big dogs here to pop the ratings, let's do. No, man, maybe we'll crack the top 400 this time.

[B]

Bro, we're just getting ripped to shreds.

[A]

This guy came in hot, man. What? I know, I know, I know, I know.

[C]

Yeah, we got to get Patrick paid. All right. The guy's working for free 64 hours a day. He needs some cash. Let's get into the ratings.

[B]

All right, Lot. We don't want to take up too much of your time. There's.

[C]

Thank God.

[B]

I. All right.

[A]

How is nico and koa? I got him tattooed on my arm, guy. Are you kidding me? I'm never making that mistake again.

[C]

How's Rochester? Have you shot any of your neighbors yet? Jesus, man, calm down.

[A]

No, no, we're having a very nice time so far. Of course, it's been freezing. I barely see him. We'll see when the weather thaws.

[C]

But anyway, most people drop off fruitcakes at all their neighbors doors. You just drop f bombs on everybody's mailbox.

[A]

Okay, what's the question?

[C]

What do we. Yeah, I come in hot. I just. It's what I do. I'm here, I'm having some fun. Somebody's got a leaf blower going in the background. Probably Sebastian, one of his 17 housekeepers.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

Listen, I. I got a goose egg on a ticket request from the Chicago Bears, right?

[C]

Yeah, well, it's because you show up once every 10 years when they make the playoffs.

[B]

I'm not that fucking fan, bro. I'm not the guy who's sitting there. Me and Pete just talked about it. We're not cheering the team on when they're 1 in 15. Sorry.

[C]

You can't pop in when they all of a sudden are the best team in football and they're making comebacks like crazy and just expect that you're going to pop onto the sideline. Hey, I'm here.

[B]

That don't work.

[C]

No, man, no, that's like, that's like. Let's see. I'm trying to figure out who in your life could be asking for tickets at MSG on the fourth night of the sold out show. Cindy from high school.

[B]

Come on. Listen, given the fact that I got the goose egg.

[C]

Yeah, you're in the play.

[B]

How did you go about it?

[C]

How did you go about it?

[B]

I said to my publicist, I said, can you contact the Bears organization and see if they got some tickets? Right. So you should probably talked at airport.

[C]

You gotta do it yourself.

[B]

Oh, shit. Then that's where I dropped the ball. Oh, man. That's where I dropped the ball. Okay, okay.

[C]

What did your publicist say?

[B]

I got the text message back or Sorry, I got the email back. Would love fan of Sebastian. Unfortunately, we don't have any suites or inside seat if he wouldn't mind sitting outside.

[C]

Do you know who Sebastian is? Do you know where he lives? You think he's gonna sit in the cold snow? This is in Salvatore. Salvatore will sit on top of the roof if he has to. Sebastian sits in a suite or he sits in his house. He does not sit by the normal people Portillo's anymore.

[A]

And what he didn't tell you? He asked for six. Six? Yeah, a family. He wanted to do a family reunion in the suite.

[C]

No, here's the issue. Here's. Here is the actual issue. That stadium, first of all, I believe is the smallest stadium in the NFL. So it doesn't have a lot of seats to start. Second off, it doesn't have the amount of suites that most places have. It does have. Only one side has suites on it. So that's an issue. Third, I mean, Chicago has been dying for a successful team for a long time. Now they have it and everything is going crazy. So it is. I will say the fact that they. Did they. So they didn't goose egg you? They offered you tickets?

[B]

Like I'm not done with the email, bro.

[C]

No. Oh, no.

[B]

I will contact our ticket office to see if there's any tickets available.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

So I told I might as well be on StubHub. What the fuck, man?

[C]

You are.

[B]

So I got, I got, I got shut out. Now, I didn't get into this with you, Pete. There's another avenue I could take.

[C]

But you can be in the stadium. There's no question.

[B]

Okay. My question to you what? You're in the playoffs. You're a player. Your Family wants to come to the game. What are we doing with your family? Do they get outside seating? Do they get a suite? I know you said that you had a deal with Gatorade where Gatorade had a suite, and that's where you kind of put the foot. But, like, if you're not, what player's outside your family?

[C]

And if you are, and if you are an away player, your family's literally in the top 15 rows of the stadium. The away tickets are bad. So what will happen is the away guys will contact any of their friends on the Bears, and they'll say, hey, can I buy some of your tickets? Because I don't want my parents up in the nosebleeds. So then you buy some of the Bears tickets, and your parents will sit in the Bears home section. But in my situation, my brother, like, you've been in the league for a long time. You. You pony up and you buy a suite. Like, and you go on the Internet sometimes to buy them because the team's already sold them. So now you're on the secondary market, and, I mean, you're looking at 50 grand plus for a suite for one game. Okay, okay, okay.

[B]

Wait a minute. Was your parents at the Steelers game this past weekend?

[C]

Yes. My brother has a suite for the whole season. He bought a suite for the whole season.

[B]

Oh, he's got.

[C]

So he has his own suite? Yes.

[A]

Like, was it in the contract? Or, like, after he signed his contract, he went to suite?

[C]

Yeah. Yes. Like, I had one in Arizona. TJ has one in Pittsburgh. Like, you get a suite for the whole year, you buy it, and then that's yours, and you get. You get it for all events, not just. So, like, in Arizona, when the Taylor Swift concert came, I had my suite for the Taylor Swift concert. Oh, you get it for everything.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So.

[B]

So your parents, to Pete's point, I.

[C]

Give you a seat if you gave me a ticket to a show.

[B]

Bro, I don't even think they equate sweet in a floor seat at the. My show is not.

[C]

I've been backstage to the Maniscalco show. I've been in the green room. I know about the grapes. I know about the strawberries. I know it all. It's crazy back there. Everything you would think it would be for a superstar, sellout comedian.

[B]

There's Hall's mentalyptis and an avocado.

[C]

What are you talking about?

[B]

So one thing. What? And, Pete, do you have anything to say? You look like you're, like, choking. You're trying to get something Out. What's going on?

[A]

No, I'm just listening. I'll tell you what. If you're looking for booze, when I open for them, there's a six pack of Blue Moon down the hall.

[C]

Been in Pete's green room, too. Been in Pete's green room, too. It's a great. Has a little more of a musky scent to it because there's. There's some aromas in the air. Catch my drift? But.

[B]

Okay. Why.

[C]

So are you going to try and go? Are you still going to go or.

[B]

You'Re out, it's over. I'm done. I looked into flights to go. It's very minimal flights. And then I looked into private air travel.

[C]

I'm not looked into flights. Yeah, he looked into flights. Like, he had to see if there was a connection through Midway. Does our. Does our jet land at the airport or does our jet land at the airport?

[B]

I ain't paying. I ain't paying 60 grand to go see a game. Okay?

[C]

That's why you're not getting tickets, brothers. Because true fans would do it and you won't.

[B]

So they say I'll be watching it in my living room with my own popcorn.

[C]

With the pope, where you belong.

[B]

Oh, po. Yeah, Listen, I want to see who's in these suites when they pan to the sweets. Right? I want to. I want to see.

[C]

I mean, it is crazy. I will give you that. Like, Chicago celebrities, you are very high on the list. Very, very high on the list from our own Watt.

[A]

He's.

[B]

He's stunned. I mean, we were talking about this earlier. Bill Murray, you got Oprah, you got. You know, you got. You know, Bill Murray. Is he getting a ticket in the box?

[C]

Let's see here. I'm trying to think of open Chicago supporters. Bill Murray's up there. I know Ashton Kutcher has been a massive Bears fan for a long time.

[B]

He ain't at the game. He wasn't at game two earlier in the season. He's coming out of the woodwork. If he asked for tickets, Bill Murray.

[A]

Could be on the bench. Literally be on the bench. Bill Murray could be. If he wanted.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I want to ask you this. In the locker room. What? In all your years of in the NFL, in the locker room, have you ever had a celebrity pop in or a public figure come in the locker room and say hello to the team? What? Oh, yeah. Who's been in there?

[C]

Snoop. Snoop's been in the locker room. We had. Blake Shelton used to live in your house in the locker room. We had a bunch of them. But Snoops was funny because Snoop. Snoop is great. I mean, I've known Snoop a little bit, but he was that. It was at the Chargers game, we were in la and I think he did like a pregame thing for the Chargers with like a Chargers jersey. I think he might even got like the video board. And then we won the game and he was in our locker room breaking down the huddle with us after the game. I was like, oh, this is just whatever's happening stuff. Snoop's involved. And we didn't give a. Like, you're like, yeah, Snoop, get in here. He's just a guy that can do anything, man. But yeah, there's plenty of that. I mean, you've seen Will Ferrell do it a bunch with teams.

[B]

How are they getting in there? Is it there? Is it an invite? Or did they knock on the door and the coach goes, hey, guys, Snoop's at the door, should we let him in? Like, how they getting in the fucking line?

[C]

A little bit of both. A little bit of both. Blake Shelton in Arizona was very close with our gm and he was around a lot and he was a huge fan. So he would kind of pop in from time to time. Whether he was at a game. It's a lot of post game. If you win, the owner comes in, the GM comes in and there's sometimes just a few people with them. Whether it's. Sometimes it may be just the highest sponsor or could be a celebrity, but that's kind of like the true inner circle.

[A]

Jj, when you were playing though, could you. If you were friends with Blake Shelton, could you have him in the locker room afterwards as a player? Me?

[C]

Yeah. Not many other people, right? Yeah, like there, there. I mean, but you. He also has to be there. I couldn't get like my buddy Evan, like my buddy Evans not coming in the locker room after the game.

[A]

I got a quick one too. Have you ever met a sitting president?

[C]

Yes, I actually. And I've also. I won't go into it.

[B]

The editing started, he's like, yeah, I don't want that much, not that much ratings over here.

[A]

Regardless. Do you feel like the, the security around you, the immenseness of the, of the power of the person, you know?

[C]

Yes. Like, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[A]

And then it's. And then have you met a president after the person was president? And I wonder if they're with the president, the guys.

[B]

The guy's going, is. He's not saying, he's like, he's asking, answering a question, like he's out of an indictment, bro.

[A]

Barbara Walters, I don't even know what you're doing. I'm getting to it. I keep going, I keep digging. Like a true journalist, you walk around.

[C]

I was at George Bush's funeral. I was very fortunate to be close with Barbara Bush and a Houston connection. We had a very close relationship. So I was at that funeral and obviously that had literally everybody there. And I've met. I've met George W. A few times and spoken to him a few times. So, yeah, that room was a wild room to be in, just obviously for a billion different reasons.

[A]

So you. Every president alive was there. Holy.

[C]

It was. It was crazy. Yeah. Wow.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

So what I noticed you got the Texans T shirt on. I'll let you go after this because God knows what you're doing.

[C]

I got time. Anything for you guys.

[A]

You're the best, bro. Thanks for coming on, man.

[B]

What's your feelings watching the Texans flourish? Right? Being a, being an ex Texan. Is your allegiance to the Texans that, you know, is that who you want? I mean, you played for Arizona for a little bit, but I mean, I'm sure you know that the years that you spent in Houston are the most memorable. Where are we at with these Texans? Are they going? Do you see what. What do you see? I. I watched them play.

[C]

No, they're very good. I mean, my first allegiance obviously is always to my brother blood, so that's first. But now that that conflict is no longer. It's. It's all. It's a win. Win for me this last game because I had somebody going forward the whole way. But yeah, Texans defense is unbelievable. I love watching them. I've talked to a bunch of these guys. Their D coordinator was my D line coach in Arizona and I know everybody, their head coach, captain, when I was a rookie here. So I, I love them. I love this team. I think they can do it. They had a lot of mistakes in this last game and still won. If they can get those corrected, they'll be great. But they're. They're dominant on defense. They are on potential, like all time dominant levels. So they could do it. And it'll be a whole lot of fun to watch the ride. I would love them to do it.

[A]

I, I gotta say, watching the Bills because I live here, so. You watch Josh Allen every week. A couple weeks back, man, they played the Texans. I'm not that familiar with them overall, bro. I did a double take. I'm like, I don't want to ruin your image here with the F bombs. But I was like, what the fuck.

[B]

Is going on with this?

[A]

Who are these guys? It was like the 80. What? The 86 bears.

[B]

It was like, what the fuck?

[A]

I called my daughter in the room. I couldn't wait for Houston to be on defense. That's how great they. They sacked Josh Allen eight times.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I read his lips once. He said, even he said, let's wrap this up. I mean, it was unbelievable. It was an assault. Half the team should have been arrested. I mean. Yeah. And. And like they like, what? As soon as you catch it, dead air, like, they just attack. Like, it's unbelievable.

[C]

It's like a pack of hyenas, dude. It's like a pack of wild hyenas out there who were. I saw somebody say, it was like, it was like playing against 11 velociraptors with machine guns. Like, it's just violent. It's just violent at all times. It's incredible. And it is different. I mean, I watch film every week of all these teams in the NFL and you turn on the Texans film and there is something different about the way it looks and the way it feels. They fly around. It's. It's pretty cool.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah. Drake May right now, he's going to do like Stallone and Rocky. He's going to go see a priest the night before and get blessed from a window before he goes and plays those guys.

[C]

I mean, you saw what Pittsburgh did two weeks ago, right? I mean, I'm assuming you guys actually, you guys probably don't. You don't follow sports much. The Steelers two weeks ago, before their game against the Ravens to win the, to win. To get in the playoffs or if they lost their out, they had new sod laid at their stadium. And every time they lay down new sod, they have a priest come out and put holy water on the field. And they ended up. The Ravens missed the final tick to win the game. Everybody was saying it was the priest. Unfortunately, the holy water didn't last two weeks.

[A]

It got washed out in the rain.

[C]

Have you thought about putting holy water on stage? Is that a consideration, having somebody come and drop some holy water on stage?

[B]

I don't know, Pete. This could be a new thing. We just come out and have somebody do a little holy water, maybe some incense, and then they walk away and we have beautiful shows.

[A]

That would be. And you know what? I know the story, what you're talking about. And priest who did the holy water. They do it every time. They put new turf down. But the priest who did it this time was a. A sub for the normal priest.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And of course, the kicker, miss. So that priest, who is the sub, even he got tickets for the next game. Even he did. All he did was sprinkle water, bro. You sell out the whole freaking half of Chicago. You can't get in a goddamn building, dude.

[C]

Did you. I mean, you got to do a show at Soldier Field. That would be the ultimate. Like, you guys, I'll do it.

[B]

Don't worry.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[B]

Looked into it. Looked into it. The. The economics don't work out. The stadiums, it's just. It's not a good. I mean, it's just. You would do it just for the sake of doing it. Yeah, yeah, but I might have to just.

[C]

Yeah, go.

[B]

You know what?

[C]

You know what? No. And you know who can't get tickets? Anybody in the organization.

[B]

I had a funeral for these people already. They're in the. They're in the ground. They're in the ground.

[C]

Oh, you guys. You guys have to go to the Vatican, by the way. You guys both together need to go to the Vatican.

[B]

And we need to show tickets to the Bears game.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Why?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Oh, online, you mean?

[C]

Okay, I was gonna say you guys just buy regular tickets. I'm not saying you do a show from the back. For the love of God, if you've seen the ratings, we know. We know what we can and can't do.

[A]

All right, all right, listen.

[B]

What? We took it up too much of.

[C]

Your time, so what do we.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. Now that you're there, I gotta ask you, when you got our text today, were you sitting at that desk or did you come in from the kitchen? Go, I gotta get set up in my office. Or were you sitting already at the desk?

[C]

I was sitting at the desk. It was perfect. I was literally going through some emails. I was doing some stuff. So I was sitting down. I was like, all right, let's pop on.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. And.

[C]

McAfee show in a little while, which is.

[B]

Well, see, I'm here for that. I feel. I feel like we're competing. Do you got a deal with them? You're on there so much. Is this just like once a week?

[C]

Every Wednesday? Yeah, every Wednesday I'm on there. I did. Oh, I got CBS on Sundays.

[B]

I feel like. I feel like we're competing with McAfee sometimes.

[C]

I mean, you guys never asked me to be on. I mean, the only time you ask me is when you need me on 15 seconds notice. And then I'm here and I'M still here. Imagine if you gave me heads up. Imagine if I had time to plan and prepare the jokes, I would be able to bring all the stuff I would know about Rochester by now, bro.

[A]

You're over prepared. Holy. You're on that Tom Cruise level, man.

[C]

Unbelievable to hear about Rochester. How is it? I mean, you're floating on Cloud 11. Is it still great?

[A]

It's great, man. I'm really. I really like it a lot. Yeah.

[C]

Let me fill you in on a little text Pete sent me the other day. He sends me text messages and he always sends the. Like you do. You don't have to reply to these. And then I reply, and he says, it always blows me away when you respond, man.

[B]

Oh, my God, bro. Why didn't you just pull his pants down?

[A]

Oh, my God, bro. All right, there's two things I want to say. Number one, there's a part of that when. And you notice I'm blown away partially that you respond in the sense that no one. I. No one responds that fast. My age and above. And you're like, on it. It's a new age of how abusive texting. As if it's like you have to respond quickly. So that's part of it. And the other part was, yes, what you said. But again, this isn't deflecting. I was about to say this, but I hadn't have a chance to get in. So you could say, I am Sebastian. But yesterday when Sebastian texted both of us, me and you, Watt, about a situation, not only was he not getting tickets for the game, but now you weren't getting back to him.

[C]

Starting to bubble, right?

[A]

Was it starting to bubble, like, the worry of I'm losing my pull around here?

[B]

Why didn't you. Oh, yeah, no, I thought.

[C]

I didn't see any of these. I didn't see any of this.

[B]

Well, that's what we were saying. We're saying Watt is normally good on. On the text, and he. We got a goose egg on him. I thought my power. My powers were over.

[C]

This is crazy. So I was. I got these at 8:50pm last night. I went to bed at 8:24 last night.

[A]

Oh. Oh, 8:24.

[B]

What are you, an infant?

[C]

No, I was having a rough day. I was having a rough day. I said shut it down. I shut it down at 8:24pm But.

[A]

But listen, Sebastian, no ice cream.

[C]

No ice cream.

[A]

Full disclosure. You know what Watt wrote in his text to me in response? It was. It was nice. And it was also such an embarrassing phrase that you can Relate to.

[B]

He said.

[A]

One thing he said was, we're friends. Of course I'm going to respond. But then you know what he added? I got it.

[C]

I can't even.

[A]

Don't make it weird, man.

[B]

I agree.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

I had to. I knew it. As I was typing, I was like, this is gonna slice him to the core. Don't make it weird. I knew you sat there reading it going, oh, my God.

[A]

Oh, God. I.

[B]

Did you turn to Jackie when you got that response and go, I thought the. Look at it. This was Jackie in on the text message. Did you show her?

[A]

That was so. That devastated me so much. I didn't even tell her about that.

[C]

I just.

[A]

I just. I just said, watch that. Yeah, anytime, man.

[C]

Well, I said, you got to start running some marathons with her. I didn't realize I said that, too.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, man, listen. It means a lot when you mention the name. I'll tell you that much. She's like, does JJ run marathons? Ah, here we go. Are you running? Are you running?

[C]

Like, I. I do sprints and I do the elliptical, So I do two days a week of sprints, like 100 yard sprints, like 8 to 10 reps of that, and then I do two days a week of elliptical on top of four days a week of strength.

[B]

Did you work out already?

[C]

No, I was going to right before you called. Oh, all right. So I'm moving into the afternoon. I got nothing now. Now I'm off for the next hour.

[B]

All right, listen, keep in touch. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll. Next time you. Come on. We're gonna. We're gonna prep this. We'll have you as a proper guest. But we really do appreciate you. Literally. I mean, when he said. Patrick said he's on, I go just, this guy's unbelievable. Thanks for coming out.

[C]

It's such a short note.

[A]

Come on, man. The guy, the running back for the Bears, got a hold of Patrick and.

[B]

Wants to come on Manangai. You know, Mananga.

[C]

Nice. Oh, yeah. Have you seen the video of the. The Lion King? Kyle Mananga. You gotta watch that before you get it. You gotta use it on the show. Patrick, I know these guys won't. So you look up Kyle Manangai, Lion King. It's a great video that his fan did of. He turned Kyle the nungai's name into a song. It's gold. You'll love it.

[A]

Again.

[B]

Bear down, Chicago.

[C]

If you need me to reach out to somebody, I could get tickets for you. But that's if you need to call them the big guns.

[B]

I appreciate the offer. It's over. I. I'm staying here. I'm watching the game in my living room with my family, and that's it.

[C]

We could always. At least we know that you could get tickets for that woman singer in Fredonia for Pete. Whenever they came, she came. Do you remember that? Who was that? Pete. Remember that time you were like, sebastian never asked you for tickets.

[A]

Bonnie Reed. Bonnie Reed, Right. Oh, my God. The place held 2,000 people. I don't even know if it sold out. And they couldn't. Yeah. And couldn't. Couldn't get it done. Couldn't get over the finish line for me.

[C]

Wait, you didn't. I thought we. I thought we got that one done.

[B]

No.

[A]

Bonnie, right? No, I paid for that.

[B]

No, I didn't. I don't know, Brian. Listen, it's. It's.

[C]

Can't get nothing done. Oh, my God. I could get you tickets to Chipotle.

[B]

They took my card away, by the way. It expired. Mine, too.

[A]

Are you guys serious?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Oh, my God. Oh, my.

[B]

They took the car.

[C]

Expiration dates. Yeah.

[B]

Yep. Didn't even renew it. You think I would get a call for a renewal? Nothing. Yeah.

[C]

Used it too much. Used it too often. This guy's losing his bro.

[A]

The walls are caving in, bro. What's going on?

[C]

No.

[A]

Ch. No.

[C]

I can't get over Pete's like. Do you have a filter on your camera or is this just me? That's Sebastian. Is there, like, a smoke? Like, he looks like it's in, like, timey film?

[B]

No, it's. It's.

[A]

It's.

[B]

It's his skin. I'm telling you that the winner over there, he has no color in his skin. You look.

[C]

I will say this because the last time I was on here, I ripped you to shreds. I called you a skeleton. You were super skinny. All that. I want to say this time. You look fantastic. Your sweater is fantastic. Hair is great. Body looks great. Everything. Everything you've got going on looks great. It just. I don't know what it is. Something about the background and the filter makes it look like you were in 1912.

[A]

I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't mind that look, though, bro. I don't mind that look.

[C]

It's kind of cool. It's kind of cool.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

I appreciate it. Yeah. So I. I think you got to do a little bit more with your backdrop moving forward when you're on the McAfee Show. Because when I watch. You watch on there, there's just not enough. It's. I've seen that look before. You know what I'm saying? Like. Like.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. What do you want me to do, Pete?

[B]

See? See?

[A]

You know.

[B]

You know.

[C]

You know, should I make it a. Should I make it a brown leather couch background, or what do I do?

[A]

He's gonna say, deflecting. Hold on.

[B]

Let him say it. Yeah, you are. I told. When we first came on, I told him he looked, like, pale and white, and then he started. Now. Now he made fun of your background. Now you're making fun of his background. It's not even. It's fine.

[A]

McAfee has, like, toys, and in the background, he's got, like, things that. That you wonder what the Is that thing doing there for? You know what I'm saying? Like, that kind of stuff. Trinkets and, you know.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

If we had a show. I'll speak for all the viewers here, where Pete laid his honest and true thoughts out without fear that Sebastian is going to kick him off the show forever. We might. We might have a top 10. He holds back so much because he is fearful that he cannot upset.

[B]

No, you. He does say it. We just don't air it.

[A]

Yeah. I'm telling you, we got a vault.

[B]

We got a vault of shit when we die, that. That's how we're going to release, and the show's going to be number one.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

All right. People that have been here from the beginning are the best because, like, there are jokes and inside jokes that you could tell for years. Now I'm overstaying my welcome. I feel like now I'm actually being kicked off, and you're like, hey, we actually have to get through, so if you can get a dumbass off of here.

[B]

I feel like I'm on your show.

[A]

Yeah, no, we're gonna end the show. You've been on the whole show.

[C]

Is there anything else you want to say or support? Oh, me?

[A]

Oh.

[C]

All right. J.J. blast.

[B]

Yeah, we appreciate you coming on, man. I just. I just don't want. I want to be respectful of the time. So, listen, we will keep you abreast of what's going on with the Bears and the Bears organization, and we appreciate the insight into the NFL ticketing episode.

[C]

Comes out, we'll know if the Bears won the super bowl or not. So it's great.

[A]

Yeah, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This will come out in March, though. I can see it. I see it. Why am I Foggy Patrick?

[B]

What the.

[A]

Am I in London?

[B]

You see it.

[C]

Thank you. Yes, yes.

[A]

Like a haze. You guys are crystal.

[C]

Now that I'm the first podcast set up Rochester, New York has ever seen. So actually, Rochester is bigger than Fredonia. I got to stop with the small town jokes. Rochester, you really stepped it up.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, it was an up. It was an upgrade. I mean, the fact that the podcast was shot in his old house gave him an extra 50 grand on the sale price.

[C]

I've been asking for a house tour for weeks from Pete. I have yet to see the house.

[A]

I'm three miles away from where the bill's practice in the St. John. Fishing man. They're right down the block. I'm gonna run into Josh Allen and his baby.

[C]

Training camp.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So, all right.

[C]

Will the Bills win this weekend?

[A]

Oh, Sebastian's rooting now for the. For the Rams. So that. So they play back in la. You can get in the booth for the. For the final. Right?

[C]

No problem getting there.

[B]

Yeah. Well, do the Rams have a shot at coming back, or are they just the records, too? Too bad to get any home.

[C]

Let me think. If the Rams won and the 49ers also won, then I believe it would be at the Rams. I got to check, but I'm pretty sure that the Rams were second in that division.

[B]

Do you think Seattle's going? You think Seattle's going?

[C]

Seattle's great. Yeah. Seattle's really good. And they got the home field. 49ers are a little banged up, so, yeah, I would imagine Seattle is definitely favored in that game. But Pete, if Sebastian goes to. I. I gave Sebastian tickets to my game in LA against the Rams. He still posted about the Rams, so. He posted about the Rams.

[A]

Oh, my.

[C]

What?

[A]

I can't even believe you come on this show after something like that.

[B]

I gotta look at that. I gotta look at that.

[C]

I was at Buffalo. I was at High Mark Stadium this year, Pete, for a game. And I'll never forget, I looked directly at that little spot where I met you in the end zone after the game, you and Jackson.

[A]

Yeah, that was so awesome of you too, because you lost, and I know that was. You're probably showering, going, I gotta go out on the field and say hi to this guy right now. But yeah, I saw that. I saw the post when you. On Instagram when you were in Buffalo. That's a cool thing that you do on your socials when you wake up and you do that about where you are. It's a good.

[C]

That's a Cool thing, cool city. I like that city. It was fun to walk around. It was empty at 8am on a Sunday morning.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

So do you like this? You liking this better than what you were doing with the in studio? This is. This is more your speech.

[C]

Yeah. I like to be in the stadium. I like to be in the stadium. Feel the atmosphere, feel the energy. You get a lot more time to talk football. Like, you can go deeper about the game and about what's happening, and you're also reacting in real time. It's like you're playing because you have to watch and see, like, all right, what coverage was that? Why was there a bust? How did they get a big run? And you have to explain it to the audience, but you also get to, like, just shoot the. You know, like, you have to combine football knowledge, but not give them too much football knowledge where it's not fun, and also give them humor and levity and come find that balance. And my partner, I, is really, really good at it, and so I'm very lucky. But I love it, man. I really do. I did not think I would like it as much as I do.

[B]

And when you're watching the game, do you ever in your head go, I could. I could. You ever feel like you could get back out there and what's. What's. What's the take on leaving the game? And then do you think this is awesome? A game?

[C]

Oh, there's no doubt I can play a game right now.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

But it's knowing that. How. How are you if I know?

[C]

Easier.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It makes it easier because I. I get to go to a stadium every single Sunday now. I get to call the game. I get to be in the atmosphere. I get to talk to the players. I can go in the lot and do whatever I want. And I wake up the next day and I feel great. I didn't win. I didn't lose. I don't have the highs and the lows of the game. And the lows are. Are very low. They're tough. They're brutal. I don't have to worry about, am I gonna have to get surgery because I just blew out my knee or, you know, somebody smoked me. You get a lot of the good stuff. And, yes, you don't get anywhere near the highs of when it is really high. But I also know that this you can do for a long time, and you don't have to ride that roller coaster.

[A]

Yeah, it's the next thing in life, man. It's the next thing in life. You did that. Now you're doing this and yeah, I.

[C]

Had to commit like you had. Like, it took me a while. People always tried to tell me when I retired, like there's phases that you go through and there is no question that you go through multiple phases of like all different emotions from, you know, your partner. So you happy that you're done with the commitments and you're done with the responsibility, you're done with that. But then you're super sad. You miss the guys from the locker room, you miss, you miss the relationships, you miss working towards something, you miss, you know, trying to reach that highest point. But then you kind of have to come to peace with it and understand that at some point it happens for everybody. That's the difference between our job and anybody else's in the world. You guys could do standup comedy till the day you die if you want to. Our job literally cannot continue at some point. So it's going to happen at some point anyway. I wanted to do it when I was still playing. Good.

[A]

Beautiful. And but jj, I gotta add humorously too. Don't you feel?

[B]

Humorously? What the fuck does that mean?

[A]

I mean, I'm making a joke now.

[C]

Well, I'm just saying humorously different than humorous.

[A]

Well, I'm just saying I'll use Aaron Rodgers as an example when he was on the jets for a couple of years. But like, do you think I feel like a player reaches a certain age? I don't want you in the locker room anymore. If I'm a 22 year old out of the Big Ten, I got a 42 year old guy in the locker room showing me photos of his kid going to senior year of high school.

[B]

Beat it. Get out. You're done.

[A]

We're younger now.

[C]

It depends, man. It depends. There's some guys that are 40, 42 that are awesome to have in the locker room. My, it was, I think my second year in the league, we had Jake Delome and Jeff Garcia. I don't know if you guys remember those two quarterbacks. They were our backup quarterbacks and they were like 40 and 42 respectively. And they were the best because they knew they were backups. They weren't like fighting for the first spot. They were just there to help everybody else to be great locker room guys. And so for their birthday, like their birthdays were similar time, we got them each walkers and we put them in front of their locker and like we got one of them a scooter and one of them a walker and it was great because they bought into it. They took the Walker to the meeting and they had a blast. Like, it was fun, right? But yes, like, there's definitely a major difference in, like, when Aaron Rodgers walks in the locker room at 42 and the speaker systems playing Lil Uzi Vert. Like, I'm not 100% sure that he knows the lyrics to every song out.

[A]

There, and he's still the star, so maybe they're going to, like, lower it because, you know, he's not the backup. If he was the backup, we're going to keep crap. So now there's a whole. Now, like, we're accommodating an old man in here. And I'm not old. And it's like a shit vibe. I don't like it, you know, so. Yeah, and that's why you left. You left them wanting more, bro. That's the way to go out.

[B]

That's the way.

[C]

Oh, I didn't do that. This episode, I could tell you that. I stayed as long as I could possibly.

[B]

Oh, God.

[C]

All right, listen. And Seraphina, how are we doing out there?

[B]

Everybody's great. Thank you for asking. I. Yeah, there's some. There's some things going on in my life right now not really warranted for the cast. Nothing bad, just. Yes, there's the. We need to go out. I know we keep saying this. We need to go out for. Break some bread, maybe, dare I say we get the families together and maybe meet somewhere. I mean, this is. This is. This is way out of.

[C]

We have been. Kaylee and I have both said that, like, you. You've been very generous and sending out an invite, like, once or twice a year. Like, hey, we're going here, and we haven't been able to do one yet. We have said we need to make that happen because we want that to happen.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, I know you got young kids and whatnot. It's very hard to travel and whatnot. But as they grow older, let's do a little Mexico something vibe, you know?

[C]

Yes, let's absolutely do it. That would be great. Okay, Pete, if you can make it, that would be lovely.

[A]

I will, man. Definitely.

[B]

Take down the excitement. Pete. Jesus.

[A]

Oh, I'll be there. You know, I would, man.

[C]

That would be a blast. Imagine just drinking beers on the beach, telling stories.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Awesome. That'd be awesome. Time.

[B]

All right. Go do your thing. I will. Best. The best to you and the family. And thanks again. Once again. Coming on the Pete and Sebastian Show.

[A]

Yeah, man. Have a good show today, bro. Thanks for hanging.

[C]

Thank you, guys.

[B]

Appreciate it.

[C]

Always.

[B]

You got it. Therehere we go. J.J. watt coming on the Pete and Sebastian show. Very unexpected. I mean, I'm just telling you, maybe it's better we just do guests on the. On a fly, bro. They stay. I mean, I. I felt like I kept trying to get him off just because I was respecting, you know, the guy's gonna do a workout. He missed his workout. I figured, you know, gee, right?

[A]

I. I did. It was. I tell you, my favorite part of that whole cast was the. The way we slid beyond the. You. You were in a box for root but left post for the other team. We just recently.

[B]

I don't know what.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What was that?

[A]

He does that a lot.

[B]

He puts.

[A]

He puts us on the spot about things. He holds us accountable on the cast.

[B]

It's very uncomfortable post for the Rams. I know there was RAM people in the box with us, but I didn't do a post for the Rams. We gotta check that out. Arizona Cardinals versus LA Rams. It's got to be, what, 2022? Maybe a lot happened in 2022. All right, that's the Pete and Sebastian show for today. Thank you for tuning in. See you next week.

[C]

The show has ended. He. He. He sends me text messages, and he always sends the. Like, you don't have to reply to these. And then I reply, and he says, it always blows me away when you respond, man.

[B]

Oh, my God, bro. Why didn't you just pull his pants down?

[A]

Oh, my God, bro.

[B]

Close your eyes. Exhale.
