The following podcast is a dear media production.
Two Jews, both big and tall, no subject, too small for the good guys.
The mother's dream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine, it's a good guys.
And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts?
What are you nuts?
Yeah, we're the good guys, we're just a good guy.
Muslim Morans, welcome back to the Good Guys podcast.
We are here with one of the greatest, one of my favorite comedians of all time, Sebastian Manascalco.
Thank you.
Thanks for having me this morning.
Who's looking amazing.
If you're listening and you're not watching, you're not seeing this matched denim, this is, this is such a wonderful look that I'm incredibly jealous of.
It's a Canadian tuxedo month.
Love it.
It's amazing.
Josh, we need to wear more Canadian tuxedos.
We need to honestly incorporate more of Canada.
I just watched Martin Short.
Did you watch this Martin Short documentary?
Yeah.
Is it good?
I like loving Martin Short, I would have loved anything,
but I did not know how much Canadian influence there was in his life and in comedy in general.
I had no idea.
Did you know, Sebastian?
Yeah, a lot of comedians come out of Canada.
They're really, really good.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what they're doing up there.
But, you know, John Candy, Martin Short.
I think Jim Carrey came out of Canada.
Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, not so funny but talented.
Ryan Gosling.
Oh, those got.
Ryan, all the Ryans, Ryan Reynolds.
But their crew, Josh, was Martin Short.
It was John Candy.
It was, what's her name who just passed away?
I hate that I'm blanking on her name.
Catherine O'Hara.
Catherine O'Hara.
It was an amazing crew.
Like, just.
It was the SCTV people, right?
Yes, exactly.
Exactly.
And what is that?
It's just like a Canadian SNL.
Yes.
It looked much funnier.
Much funnier.
I was watching that.
I'm like, oh my God, where the fuck is this?
Funnier than American SNL right now?
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
No, yeah, no.
Our SNL now is no good.
But great documentary.
That's a good springboard, though.
You set that up well, Ben.
So you had the great Marcelo did a quite a version, a small impression of you on SNL.
What are our thoughts?
How do we feel?
What are our thoughts?
You know, the first time he did it, he called me and said,
hey, we're going to do this.
He called me on a Thursday.
We're going to do this on Saturday.
You want to come in as like a cameo.
And unfortunately, I was doing a show up in Palm Springs.
I said, sorry, man, I can't do it.
But he's like, we're still going to do it.
I just want to give you an opportunity to come in.
So, yeah, great, great.
And then they did it.
And I was flattered.
It was a sweet.
gesture and anytime someone does an impersonation, you're like,
let's see how this is going to go.
But I thought he really kind of was over the top with it and was really good.
And then subsequently did another one with, what's the guy's name?
It's escaping media guy.
He was in, God, what the hell?
Harry Stiles.
Okay.
So Harry Stiles got involved and did his impression of me on the show.
So I'm sitting here doing, I'm like, wow, this is great.
They're doing the impersonation.
you know, did I, did I offend anybody because I said that I wasn't coming in because I had a gig?
Did I lose my opportunity to host the show?
I don't know.
So you've never hosted?
I've never hosted, no.
Is this a dream for you?
Is this something you like?
I mean, listen, I grew up on Saturday Live Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo during the 80s.
So, yeah, I mean, it's not on my vision board.
I don't have a vision board, but it was not something like, oh, I'm dying to do Saturday.
live when I came out here in 1998 because impersonations and what have you. It wasn't really my
deal. But as time went on, I'm like, oh, it would be really, really cool to host the show.
So, yeah, I mean, it definitely is something that I would love to do. Do people have vision boards?
Does anybody really have a physical board? It's very, it's, uh, yeah, I don't know. I've never
seen one, but I just keep hearing like people manifest their dreams or whatever.
by writing it down.
Do you do this stuff?
No, no.
And in the honor of, I think today's...
I'm a drug addict.
I think today's Pride Day,
vision boards are very gay.
Very, very gay.
They are.
I just, like, it is what it is.
It's just they're very gay.
I think that if,
whoever does SNL, you're on their list.
I know for sure.
I don't actually know for sure
because I haven't seen their list,
but I feel like you've got to be on their list.
This wasn't a one-time deal, Sebastian.
They're going to ask you.
Maybe.
Maybe, maybe in the fall.
We'll see.
Is this, had Marcello not called you and asked,
it didn't sound like he was asking permission,
it just sounded like a heads up.
Yeah, yeah.
But is that the classy move?
Like, had he not done that?
Would you have felt a little bit annoyed?
No, I don't know.
No, I wouldn't have felt cheated at all
or like, oh, disrespect it.
I just, no.
Because you hear that with like,
I don't know if it was, like,
Nikki Glazer famously, right?
Like, she'll, she's obviously a roast genius,
But for a lot of people, especially with the Golden Globes,
she'll kind of give them the heads up and talk before.
Is that better?
I don't know.
It depends on how they're going to,
what they're going to say about you or how they're going to impersonate you.
Now, if it's derogatory and it's not in a good light,
then maybe a heads up would be better.
But what he did, I don't think, was at all.
I don't know.
I enjoyed it.
Yeah, it was good.
It was amazing.
They did an impression of me on SNL.
Not so good.
Did they?
When?
They had, no, they literally had a version of Drake and I,
from the Kids Choice Award.
So it was my cohort,
and they just had two guys in the cast dress up like us
and say nothing.
Just look goofy on the side.
So I was like, all right.
I'll take it.
Have you seen this video going around, Josh,
of it's like outside of Madison Square Garden,
and Nick fans are literally showing you
in AI and Drake in AI and asking who's a better
Nick's basketball player, Josh Peck or Drake Bell. Have you seen that video?
I have. About 100 New Yorkers have sent it to me. And you have these
people. They're like, oh man, Josh Pegg, he was sick in the paint. I'm like,
you guys are fucking idiots. It's so funny. I haven't seen it. Yeah, people
are nuts. They think I'm on the New York next. It's so good. What about
with all this, you know, hype around the Kevin Hart roast and everything.
And what do you, I'm too sensitive for roast.
Like if I was ever asked to me on the day, I'd say, I'd be like, no thanks.
Because I can't take it.
I can give it maybe, but I'd have to leave after my set.
Because I don't want to hear what you have to say about me.
How do you feel?
Can you take it?
Would you ever want to do one?
I don't know.
I look at the roast now and then I look at the roast back when, like, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra
were doing it, which seemed a little bit more, I don't know.
It wasn't so shocking.
Yeah.
It's a way to make fun of somebody, but in kind of an enduring way.
And it just seems like now it's gone, you know, really raunchy or really too, I don't know, I don't know if it's, too per.
I don't know what it is, but it just seems like it's shocking just for the sake of being shocking.
For me, that's not kind of my style.
if I did it, I would bring a little of that maybe old school roasting back,
which is a little bit more, I don't know, not so aggressive.
Yeah.
But maybe, maybe I don't know.
Maybe it's passed me by.
Maybe now everybody, listen, any time you're doing anything now,
everybody's looking for like the shock value.
I'm doing this podcast, right?
We're looking for the clip that you're going to take out of this, right?
I think it's happening right now.
And I love it.
You're looking for that one moment where I cry, I do this.
I do like, this is going to be the moment where we get it.
So, however, I tend, I don't know, I don't know if I have those clippable moments.
Because I'm very guarded.
I'm very like almost editing myself while I'm doing these things.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, I'm not like going to give you shock.
awe here. By the way, we're so bad at clipping. You're not going to see a good clip anyways.
Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's good. We're better in long form. We're here for a nice
conversation. I don't think, by the way, that you should be able to deliver a below the belt
joke in a roast if you didn't write it. Like these celebrities that are coming on telling
nasty fucking jokes about somebody else that they didn't write, that's, that to me is incredibly
fucked up. If you at least need to be able to have the talent to say something really mean
and deliver it in a funny way, then you get a pass. But like I know Drainlon Green, for example,
he didn't write any of those jokes. Yeah, well, I mean, those guys aren't going to be right.
If you're not a comedian, you come on there as a whatever, a basketball star, an actor,
what have you, a musician, they're not going to have the ability to write, you know,
these types of roast jokes. So they're fed those jokes in order for them to participate in the
roast, but, I mean, if you left it up to them, believe me.
Oh, my God.
It's going to suck.
Oh, Draymond.
Now, Ben started the pot off, Mike, and tell me if you want me not to mention it, Ben,
we can cut this out.
You can.
You can.
My terrible haircut, you can.
Well, Sebastian, you come from a great hair care professional family, right?
Your father?
Yeah, yeah.
My father's a hairstylist.
So now, Ben, please take us away.
Yeah, I got a bad haircut.
I was saying before that I'm wearing the Knicks hat,
not just because my beloved Knicks are in the NBA finals
and I'm going on Wednesday in San Antonio,
but also because I got a really bad haircut.
And I did something that I'm sure your father would recommend against,
which is that I got a rushed haircut with somebody I didn't know.
It was a huge mistake.
I was feeling itchy in my hair.
And I just wanted a little bit of a haircut, a little bit of a trim.
And they cut off all my hair.
I know that you don't know what I normally look like.
This is very, very short for me.
Very short.
it exposed a little bit of an egghead that I have light insecurities about.
And here we are.
Dissect it, Sebastian.
No, listen, he's got the hat on.
It's not done.
And I don't know generally what type of product you're using on a day to day.
But I'm guessing that you didn't touch it.
You just put the hat on.
I didn't touch it.
I put the hat on.
All right.
So I would like to see what the haircut looks like, either blown out,
maybe with some
gel or
but what do you blow out
there's no hair to blow out
there's nothing here
well maybe let it let it
give it two weeks
you know two weeks
that's not that bad
I don't think you
I don't think we should be with
by the way I'm not in the hats
at all
you're not a hat guy
I'm not a hat guy
say more
I don't know
I feel like a hat on a grown man
is...
Damn it!
I just want you to know
Josh wears hats every week.
I've never worn a hat before.
I've never worn a hat.
Have I ever worn a hat?
Do I even own hats?
He never does.
And you know I almost wore a T-shirt today
and I was like, Sebastian's going to be here.
I'm wearing a button up.
Wow.
I know.
I felt pressure.
Unbelievable.
Well, I mean, for a podcast of this size.
Sure.
To wear a hat on the podcast.
is almost diminishing the podcast.
I mean...
You're right.
You're right.
I mean, how old are you?
You're right.
You're right.
Okay.
Well, this is way too old to be wearing.
Are you an anti-hat and all?
Do you ever wear a one?
I have hats.
Okay.
I've worn hats.
Yes.
I just, I'm not...
First of all, I don't think I have the size head to pull off a hat.
Most guys, when they wear a hat, like, wow, it looked good in the hat.
My head is too large to pull off a good-looking hat.
However, I'm just saying in general, the hat on a man just, I don't know, conveys a, to me, conveys like, I don't really care.
I don't really care.
I'm going to just pop this on my head today, which is okay for you, the fact that you got a screwed up here.
This is a rare occurrence.
Just you have to believe me, this is right.
You feel this way about hats.
I can't even imagine how you feel about men wearing basketball jerseys.
You have a grown man wearing a jersey.
How does that make you feel?
Well, here, so, and I'm sorry to say this, but at the house, we have become San Antonio fans.
Ha!
Was it because of this one been?
Yeah, yeah.
This guy.
Wembe has converted me to, and I love New York, don't get me wrong.
but the way this guy plays.
It's unbelievable.
I'm just like,
once in a life.
Incredible.
So, that being said,
and I have a son who's going to be seven next week,
he wanted a Wemby jersey.
And he had asked that we should get,
you know,
Wemby jerseys together.
Now,
we will be watching the game in our own home,
and I'll probably put on the Wembe jersey.
However,
you will never see me.
Like,
you're going to go to the Knicks game,
right?
Are you wearing a jersey?
I can't.
I can't bring myself to wear jerseys.
I can't.
Okay.
I can't.
I will not be.
I also, though, I wouldn't wear a jersey in my own home.
I, what do you, you put a t-shirt on under the jersey?
I will be wearing.
No, I will be going.
You're sleeveless.
Sleeveless.
Yeah, yeah.
Not even a tank top under it.
No, no, I'll be going.
What about you?
You don't find that your nipples start to bleed?
Like, do you put a couple patches on or something?
This is the first time I wear in a jersey, so we'll find out.
Oh, by the way, you're going to, you're going to bleed.
Yeah.
You're going to have, it's a terrible experience.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Especially unless you bought, and maybe you bought an authentic jersey.
Odds are you bought a Wembe, I'm a swing man.
And let me tell you this material from China, you are really, your nipples are in for a rude awakening.
Yeah.
It's going to be like you were boogie boarding.
Oh, wow.
I didn't factor that in.
And I don't know if you have a hairy chest or not, but I'm just letting you know that if you do,
the hair will be poking out of the holes in the swingman jersey.
So all of a sudden you're going to be uncomfortable.
Your family's going to be looking at you.
They're going to be like Sebastian,
your hair is popping out of your jersey.
I would recommend a light t-shirt.
Maybe, yeah, like this, like a white t-shirt under it.
All right.
I just didn't want to go with the a la Georgetown Patrick Hewing look.
Sure.
That's an old reference.
You guys might not even.
We do.
Ben does.
We know.
We know.
We know.
Okay.
We know.
I'm 52, you're 34.
Patrick, you, yeah, this is not even your time frame.

It kind of sounds like cooking for my wife.
And too often the options out there, whether you're feeding a baby, a toddler, or a big kid,
just don't meet the standards you want for your children.
child. Parents are constantly asked to compromise on ingredients, nutrition, transparency, even safety.

for dogs than there are for kids? And that's no sheet on dogs. Okay, we should be prioritizing
our children's health, though. On top of everything else, parents are juggling that constant uncertainty
is exhausting. And simply put, families deserve better. That's why I decided to try a little spoon

This episode of the Good Guys podcast is brought to you by our friends at Built.
Folks, we can all agree that housing is expensive, whether it's a rent, mortgage, it doesn't
matter which one you're paying.
It stings every month.
Ooh, that hurts.
But Built can make it feel a little bit better.
Let me explain.
Built started out rewarding members on their rent.
Now, as of 2026, built members can also earn points on mortgage payments wherever they live.
Every housing payment earns you points you can use towards flights.
with top travel partners such as United and Hyatt,
Lyft rides, Amazon.com purchases, and so much more.
Personally, I'd redeem my points for travel, obviously.
Nothing like a free trip brought to you by your mortgage.
Are you kidding me?
But here's what I think is the most underrated part.
Built members also get access to a neighborhood concierge.
It can make restaurant reservations,
book fitness classes, and find new local spots,
all while being rewarded at more than 45,000 merchant partners.
It's like having a personal assistant baked into where you live.
It's simple.
Being a renter and now owning a home is better with Built.
So folks, are you ready?
And if you're not, I don't care.

I'm telling you, folks, joinbilt.com slash good guys.
I'm going to be 40 this year. Any thoughts?
What are you doing?
I got nothing. Maybe I go get a little plastic surgery. A little tune up on the old bot.
What are you thinking of getting?
I don't know. Get my tits done.
Pits?
Yeah.
Get a little skin removed, you know. Get those nice, anchor scars.
Look like I went from female to male.
Oh, wow.
No, I, you know, my wife's like, let's have a party.
I'm like, I'd rather invest in me.
I'd love,
if you're going through Sebastian mind,
they're probably like,
what the fuck podcast did I just go on with you?
I was just talking about transitioning.
He's getting a stint stunt.
Mike, back to beg, let's get out of here.
Do you have a lot of friends?
I have friends, yeah.
I mean, if you're talking to party,
how many people are you inviting to this thing?
What am I going to get a space?
I'm going to get an event space?
Yes.
It's so many things.
It's so much orchestrating.
I got, I mean,
probably got to have, what, 50 people, 60 people?
Okay.
Yeah, that's a nice party.
Yeah.
It's a nice party.
I don't know.
I would go with a party.
I would either go to a party or I would maybe get a couple of my close friends who are couples
and maybe do like a three-day thing in Kabul.
Oh, that's the buff.
Yeah, 40 is a big one.
It's a big one.
You should do something nice for it.
Where were you?
I feel like when you were 40, was it like really beginning the ascent, like the true,
like,
40, yeah.
Awakening of Sebastian.
The awakening.
Yeah.
Yeah, that 12 years ago, 13 years ago.
Yeah, 13 years ago was kind of like,
it's funny, you say 40,
41, 42, it's all blending together at this point.
I know people that go, oh yeah,
in 1989, I went to Paris.
And then I did, I have no date
associated with anything other than the,
birth of my kids when I got married and my 50th. That's it. That's all I really have.
But about 12 years ago, yeah, it was kind of like when I started to kind of hit in the comedy
clubs and people were coming out and seeing me. So yeah, I think I've been doing this since, what,
1998. So yeah, around that time. But can we touch, I know you've talked about it before,
but I find your sort of origin story so endearing of that you were running between performing at the comedy store and working at the four-seasoned hotel, right?
Yeah, right down the street here.
You were a manager of the restaurant?
No, I was a waiter in the bar.
Wow.
Yeah, so I was waiting tables, and I timed my break with the time that I was going to go on stage.
So if I had a 915 set at the store, I would make sure I go on break at night.
nine o'clock, and it took me 12 minutes to drive up there.
We are right?
Yeah.
Did you hear me?
No, no, no, no.
The producers just checking the friends.
Oh, I was like in my, I was like in my breathing heavy?
Like, what is the?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, nice.
That's what he wanted to do.
That's what he wanted to do.
I'm glad we made mention.
He was what tipping around here like we were sleeping.
It did.
It got a horror movie-esque for a second.
So, yeah, I would go and run down there, do my set in my, in my uniform, or sometimes I would change into clothes, depending on how pressed for time I was.
And then I would run back.
And there was a time where, because I had asked a waiter to manage my section while I was on break.
And then I came back and I had a $450 walkout, which that's, that.
That's when the table just walks out without paying in my section.
But this was like almost kind of towards the end of my career there at the four seasons.
I worked there for seven years.
So this was like the last year it happened.
It just got to be, you know, okay, it's either you do the comedy or you do the waiting tables.
And I chose to do the comedy.
Does the hotel make you cover that table?
What happens when somebody walks out on the table?
No, the hotel absorbs the cost of it.
So I didn't have to pay, thank God.
But it was getting to the point where I was doing a lot more comedy and it was getting a lot.
And then I had this Vince Vaughn comedy show that we did this 30 days, 30 nights on a bus that kind of took me out of the four seasons.
So yeah, yeah, I mean, I came out here in 98 to make it as a comedian.
I didn't come out here at a wait table.
So the way I looked at it is like every opportunity I had to get on stage.
age I was going to utilize it.
And the Four Seasons was very gracious at allowing me to.
I made a great living there.
I mean, it's not like I was a starving artist.
Yeah.
I had a Jaguar X-type.
Wow.
Current model?
Wow.
What a beautiful car.
And they fucking, the way they ruined that brand, they went to the new logo and now
the car is completely extinct.
I don't even think they make Jaguars.
No, Waymo's got a, that's what the Waymos are.
Jaguars.
Oh, they are.
Okay.
That's how you know they were that.
unsuccessful. That is the official
worst branding in history that it's now
Waymos. That is insanity.
Wow. Because yeah, those cars were
gorgeous. And when you were, you know,
it's the four seasons, right? It's not Beniggins.
It's not a BJ. This is a high-end place. You're in Beverly Hills.
So I'm sure you're constantly seeing fancy people.
And here you are, and artists and entertainer on the come-up.
Did you ever want to like, you know, make
campaign to to a fancy producer someone would be like hey i do a little comedy i'm you know i'm not
just this i'm not that guy yeah i'm not i'm not like slipping my DVD to conan o'brien as he's
having chicken set page you know if someone asked what i did i would tell them but i wasn't like
walking around the hey i'm a comedian give me a shot sure very very uh i'm not like huge on
self-promotion in that way even to this day i like when i do a video
on an Instagram or whatever
to announce a tour
to go get tickets or whatnot.
It just feels a little gross.
I don't know.
I never really was the hype guy.
I'm not good at either.
Ben is incredible at it.
It doesn't mean I'm not uncomfortable
when I do it,
but it's a necessary evil.
You ever have those Uber drivers
that won't admit that they're Uber drivers,
they're always telling you that they're like a realtor?
I had this guy,
in Miami we're driving through and he's pointing all of these like that's my listing that's my listing
that's my listing like yeah yeah i actually did a bit about a uber driver that they have like uh
you know no i have discotheque in istanbul you know they're always like doing something other than
what they're doing yeah um but yeah the uh the um by the way before we get off the topic i wanted to rewind a
little bit. I found something very interesting. Playoffs, New York, San Antonio. You're going to the game, Ben.
Yes. How does a, how does a Ben facilitate tickets for the game? Is it something that you know somebody
there? Did you buy them off stub hub? Tell him. What's the pipe in? Blow is my, Ben. I want you to know,
first and foremost, Sebastian, that I know how fortunate I am and how blessed I am. Oh, stop it. Stop it with
Somehow, and somehow some way.
You cut out this gratitude.
Mickelob Ultra and the New York Knicks are taking me on a private plane from Newark to San Antonio,
where I will be watching the game courtesy of Miklo Oboltra and the New York Knicks,
and then I will be flown home.
And that's why I started with, I understand how fortunate I am.
Because I was ready.
I was ready.
The money was out.
Okay. The sack of cash was there. My plane tickets were booked, booked. And I'm fully prepared for
New York. Like you mentioned, you've converted your home to Wembe Yamah fans, which I'm still trying to
process. But I understand. He's a generational talent. It's, I understand. The tickets are insane.
Josh, that's my what are you nuts for later. The prices of these tickets for a home game at the
garden. It's 12 grand to sit in the corner. It's really, it's disgusting. And I don't know if
this is a real market yet. We're going to figure out as it gets closer if this is just
like season ticket holders that are trying to make back all of next year's season in one ticket
or if it's a real market. Yeah, I'm going courtesy of Mikhailob Ultra in the New York Knicks.
Okay. So is Michaelob Ultra a sponsor of the show or how do we get that type?
No, of the NBA. But what's your connect? What's your connect with them, Ben? So they reached out to
my agent, beautiful agent Barry Rosen.
Shout out Barry.
Her heart. She's also a beautiful woman,
but I didn't mean to comment on her looks.
And they said,
do you have any clients that want to go to the game?
And she put up Tyler Cameron,
the great Tyler Cameron,
and me.
Wow. And I can't fucking believe it.
I'm still, like I, it's,
this is like a dream.
And I'm sure that's childish to say.
It's a full-blown dream.
34 years of heartbreak.
Like this is, this is a dream.
Yeah, this is going to be a big,
a big series.
I'm looking forward to it.
Does it start in New York?
No, it starts in San Antonio.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah, game one and two are on the road.
And then game three at the garden.
Walk in is five grand.
What if,
okay,
what if they win in Madison Square Garden
and at half court,
Timothy Chalamey proposes to Kylie Jenner?
Can you freaking that?
Imagine.
Oh, my God.
You just see Carl Anthony Towns in the back, like, yeah.
That's funny.
So fucking romantic.
Oh, man.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed for a big win.
Did you grow up a Knicks fan, Sebastian?
No, I'm Chicago.
So I'm born and raised in Chicago, and I'm a Bulls fan.
Bulls, Bulls.
So, yeah, I had my taste of,
six championships and whatnot.
And since, you know, whatever, in 1998,
we've been awful.
But we did have a little run there with,
Joachim.
Joachim Noah.
Yeah.
And Derek Rose.
Joachim.

ends the thermostat war for good, because quality sleep should not depend on who won the last
fight about the temperature. What are you nuts? And the Chili Pad 2.0 is a serious upgrade from
what came before. The new dock is quieter with a bigger internal water tank, so you're not

unzips and goes right in the wash because life with kids is messy and your sleep setup should be easy.
The nightstand remote is the part I want every more on listening to hear.

you get into bed and automatically kick off your sleep program.

You just get in and it handles everything.
That's how good gear works.

because chili pad is cheaper than couples therapy and more effective than the thermostat.
You probably don't think about this, but I do.
I was thinking about you and how you have this amazing sort of blend of like there's like this
Midwestern charm about you and yet something so Italian and so familiar.
And I do think it like adds to your, as my acting teacher would say, your sparkle.
Like it's something like because I think especially in entertainment we're used to like,
like the De Niro, Italian, New York, East Coast.
We've had a lot of that, right?
And that's a little more familiar.
But your blending of things, I think, is very winning.
Just wanted to say that.
That's very sweet to you.
I've never had been referred to of having a sparkle,
which is nice to hear.
Who is your acting coach?
It's what carbonates you.
They're on Groupon.
Yeah, I don't know, Midwestern.
Oh, God, by the way, I just, for those that are listening and not viewing this unbelievable podcast,
I felt my T-shirt just now, and I don't know, and guys in the booth could maybe verify this.
Did I have a little belly showing for the first 20 minutes?
I thought it was a belt.
I thought it was a belt.
I thought you had it.
I thought you were wearing a nice thin belt that worked in your Canadian tuxedo.
Nice flesh-colored belt.
From here, you can't see.
I thought it was a belt.
No, that was skin.
Does this look like a belt?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Is that gorgeous?
Is that a belt?
He's so brave.
He's so brave.
Sebastian.
No one braver than my boy.
Oh, man.
I'll never get that out of my head.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
That's early in the morning for that, though.
Don't go boogie boarding with those nips.
You are asking for an infection.
That's why.
By the way, maybe you could wear the sleeveless jersey.
I can't wear that jersey.
No.
No.
These nipples are too soft.
They just get ripped apart.
I think I got a nice hard nipple.
That's good.
Jealous.
jealous.
A title.
Should we get to a couple weird stories?
Yeah, let's do it.
What are we got?
These are, they live up to the name.
They're weird stories.
Weird stories, all right.
We comment, they're from the New York Post.
You know, it's our main news source.
Okay, this one's good.
This one's good.
Wife sparks massive debate after saying she won't let hardworking husband do chores.
He's more tired than I'm.
I am. Times haven't changed for her. In 2026, a stereotypical gender role in a relationship might have
evolved, but for others, it certainly hasn't. One stay-at-home mom is sticking to tradition by refusing
to let her hardworking breadwinner hubby do any housework, and she's getting slammed online for it.
What do we think? Well, let's open it up to the group here. I hate it here. I'll say that. Like,
On earth, I hate the fact that this is a story.
And I hate the idea that people can't be different and the people would be shamed for that.
Like, I do all of the cooking in my house, Sebastian, all of it.
100%.
I have a one-year-old son, but I also love it.
My wife is a neat freak.
She does the majority of the cleaning just because she wants to.
Or we have a housekeeper or like, that's not news.
What is news?
I don't I
yeah listen
um
sometimes
I almost have to
and I don't know
how you guys feel about this
but uh
the amount of stuff
that I'm doing at the house
is incredible
I bet
I mean
I often tell my wife
we have a joke that I
I'll take my sock off
and I'll put my foot on the table
and I go you should be kissing my feet
oh yeah
If we look around, if you look around and see with what some of these married guys do or don't do,
right.
Like, if I don't cook, we don't eat.
Wow.
Same.
Okay.
Same.
Right.
Yes.
Yes.
My wife bakes.
That's her deal.
But, you know, it's not like, you know, we're baking a pie every week.
Like last night, and I enjoy it.
Don't get me wrong.
I really enjoy cooking.
Last night I made, and I enjoy plating and presentation and the whole thing that goes along with it.
So I'm, you know, and again, this is just part of being a father.
I'm driving my kids to gymnastics.
I'm driving my kids to soccer.
I'm involved.
Love it.
Heavily involved in the family.
And maybe a little bit too much.
Maybe you got to pull back.
a little bit.
All three of us,
by the way.
We're getting raked.
But to the article,
you know,
that was,
you know,
that was my father coming home from work,
had a hot meal on the table.
Wow.
Every day at a week,
right?
And this was without cell phones.
So he would literally tell my mom,
I'm leaving.
Yeah.
And my mom took 21 minutes for him to get home.
And she,
as soon as the door open, boom, right on the table. And does that exist anymore? Yes, in some homes,
but I don't think it's the norm. Not us. Not us. Are you cooking? What are you doing over there?
I could cook, but I'm on kid. I wake, so this morning, I'll tell you the day, I wake up around a quarter to
six with my, either my seven-year-old is up by six or my 11-month-old is up by six. So I'm,
Basically, my wife comes downstairs around 7.15, 7.30. First 90 minutes, I'm on it. And the last 90 minutes of the day, I'm showering and bathing my three-year-old, seven-year-old. The 11-month-old goes to sleep earlier. And I'm doing nighttime routine, everything getting them ready, laying with my seven-year-old. Yeah. I'm the bookends. Did your father do that? Did he do anything? He was not around, Sebastian. No, he didn't do a damn thing.
I think it changed.
And if you look at what my wife does, which is, this is what I cannot do with the signups for
the play, the practice, the coordinating the birthday parties.
So you're going to this kid's birthday party, that kid's birthday party and all that,
which is a whole other thing that I don't necessarily, I didn't grow up in that environment.
I was in soccer and that was it.
I didn't do a lot.
These kids now are like doing everything under the sun from piano to gymnastics to soccer to, you know, chess.
My son's doing chess club.
Yeah.
My son too.
You know, so it was not.
We were just bored growing up.
You know, there was no activity.
Yeah, I was bored a lot.
I felt the abyss a lot.
There was a lot of times as an only child that I was in my room going like, so this is life, huh?
Here I am.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just thinking about me.
I would just play basketball and eat.
I'd walk to the park.
I'd play basketball.
I'd come home.
I'd order pad tie.
Like that was how I passed my time.
And that's how I got to a at one point.
You like pad tie?
You like pad tie?
You like pad tie?
I think actually then it was a Bunzow.
Bunzow, you ever heard of this Bunzow?
There's a place called Saigon Grill, 80th and second.
They can still smell that sauce.
That's how fat I was.
Okay?
I can still smell it.
I would get two veggie spring rolls.
on the side.
And this is how, yeah, this is a typical day.
It's delicious.
Wow.
No, we didn't order anything to the house.
It was all in homemade.
Homemade.
Now, you just mentioned your love of soccer.
Go to a lot of L-AFC games?
I have.
I've been to, why do you laugh?
You see my clip?
Your clip?
I thought maybe this happened that you came on the pod because you saw my clip.
No, do we have the clip?
Guys, could you wake up the producers?
Roll the question.
I love the L-AFC.
Big fan.
I took my seven and three-year-old to a game a couple months ago to match, say-sa.
And who's sitting in front of me, the incredible Manascalco family?
You were there?
We were closer than we are now.
I was right behind you.
But it's not my way.
I don't bother people when they're with their family.
You're with your beautiful family.
I want to say hello, I go, I can't.
But I, and this might only be in my head, but you can confirm it now.
My beautiful three-year-old is in a potty training journey, and he's doing great.
But he tends to hold it all day until we're home, right?
So you sit down, like, oh, a beautiful man of scalcos are here.
I'm not going to bother them with them.
We're watching the game.
And my son starts to crop dust our section because he's been holding it all day, right?
So he's letting out a couple toots.
and I was so mortified
of how close you were sitting next to me.
I was like, he's crop dusting, the men of scalp goes.
Oh, no. I was so, oh, it's all in my head.
Good, good, good, good.
No, no, no, I didn't smell anything.
Oh, thank God.
It's the people behind you, Josh,
that you had to be worried about.
I don't think farts go forward.
Okay.
Thank God it was an outdoor stadium.
Yeah, no.
And I'm pretty good.
Out of all five senses, my sense of smell is extraordinary.
It's almost like a blood honed.
Really?
So I would have definitely picked that up if, and I would have made mention of it.
Not, I would have told my wife, I don't know, what's going on?
Someone's, thanks.
Sorry, shy.
You guys ever think, I don't know how much you talk about your kiddos, but like, I do think about that sometimes of like, am my kids going to be teenagers going like, dad, you really had to talk about me farting at the L-AFC game when I was three?

Do you ever get like, I can't get over it, Josh.
He knows you as just happy wears no hats.
I can't get over it.
I can't get fucking over it.
Josh wears

Oh, what a lot of Lexa, bro.

I met you in the hallway.
You were like, hey, man, thanks for coming.
You're like, jolly.
It's such a, well, you know, these podcasts,
this is like, for you to come out and do it.
And for anyone to come and guest, it means a lot.
Oh, well, and listen, I'm, you know,
I've had a podcast for 13 years, so I know, like, you know, yeah, I mean, you do these podcasts and, you know, like when you get up in the morning, right?
You got to go do a podcast.
You look on your calendar and 12 o'clock you're going to wherever.
Is this something like you're like, I can't wait to go or can't wait to talk?
I mean, honest to God, like, what's the feeling of being a guest on the podcast for you?
Of being not my pod, being a guest on some ways.
Yeah, like I'm going to ask you to come on mind, right?
Right.
And then do you go, motherfite, no, I got to go do this guy's thing.
You know, like, is it that or is it, oh, I can't wait to come on?
I like, it's somewhere in the middle.
I don't mind.
I like it.
I think you can't wait to come on Sebastian's podcast, but I think there are plenty of podcasts where it's definitely dread.
Yeah, but it's also like you get to a point where you can really kind of pick and choose.
Like you go, all right, maybe I'm going to do one or two a month.
of someone else's.
So let me make sure it's something that, you know.
But you want to be on.
Yeah, or like you get real specific, right?
Like if I was really into fishing, right?
If there's something really that I like, like, you know,
there's a depression podcast on me.
You can talk about meds.
You got a problem with depression?
Who doesn't?
Oh, my God.
You guys, you don't realize it sucks out here.
It's dark out there.
It's like the straight of her moves in here.
Do you have a moron male, then?
We do.
We have a bunch.
Moron mail.
So we call our listeners moron, Sebastian.
We're morons too.
We're all morons and people who pretend that they know things.
We just, yeah, we try to avoid them.
It's a long one, but this is a good one.
Okay, great.
Okay, all right.
The subject is boobs and a jealous mother-in-law.
Okay.
Hey, good guys, big fan here.
I'm going to cut down.
I need your advice on a mother-in-law situation,
and I'd love you to put yourself in our shoes.
My mother-in-law has always been self-obsessed with her son.
My husband, she's always made comments in front of me regarding how much she loves him.
He's a golden child.
Anytime there's a holiday or something, making sure that he comes and visits.
I feel like I have been pretty good and lenient, but now I'm eight months pregnant.
Okay?
Eight months pregnant.
and the comments just won't stop.
We've been together for seven years.
She's now got a new obsession with my breasts
and how large they've gotten.
Mind you, I've always had bustier girls,
but ever since I got pregnant,
she's made comments about how big they've gotten
in front of my husband.
For example, she'll say to him,
you must love your wife's new pregnancy boobs.
Another thing that you'll love is her boobs are only going to get bigger.
What bra size are you?
What shirt size are you wearing now?
while we're all catching up on the phone,
she'll say things just like this.
Then most recently in a group chat,
she said,
are you excited that your wife
will never have issues breastfeeding
because of how big her breasts are?
It's constant.
Please give me some advice.
I truncated that.
It was very, very long.
I truncated it.
Did you truncated that on the fly?
I did.
I truncated on the fly.
Did you get that sense?
No, I actually thought you read it
verbatim, that's how natural you made it sound.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, I really cut it down.
I appreciate that.
So she has a mother-in-law that won't stop commenting on her pregnant breasts.
Thoughts?
You know what bothers me is the relationship she has with the son.
I'm not into that, like the golden child, everything, this guy can't do anything wrong.
That, for me, took me out of it.
I was like, I don't like that portion.
And then the fact that this woman is constantly talking about the breasts is...
It's very, very strange.
I totally agree.
And almost it felt like if you coddle your son like that and he's your golden child,
are you excited that he has these big fucking breasts?
You creep?
Like it sounded, it was creepy almost how much she was pointing out how big her breasts are
and that he'd enjoy them.
Very strange.
Very strange.
strange.
Yeah, I don't know.
What's going on with the mother and the son?
Yeah, she sounds very inappropriate.
The mother, like, boundaryless.
And it just reminds me, and I'll be the only one to mention to here,
so I'm the only one that gets in trouble.
But, like, I love my wife's pregnant body,
and she is sure to tell me, like, this is not for you.
Right? You don't even get to use it.
Yeah, stay away from this.
Okay, this is a different purpose
I'm like, oh, but it's so great, so fun.
She's like, just direct your eyes somewhere else.
Wow.
Why, I mean, is your wife pregnant right now?
No, but through three pregnancies,
I think especially in the third one,
it's just like, she quickly just was so uncomfortable.
I'm just like, ugh, like, I want this to be done.
I'm so excited to have a baby, but like this is a little much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, that, that, that,
that mother-in-law is going to be the problem with that right is it's a harbinger of worse to come like
that poor wife's going to have to deal with that mother-in-law indefinitely it's because her son
needs to grow a fucking pair of balls and set set things straight it's not on if the mother-in-law
remains unchecked it's not the wife's job to check her mother-in-law it's the son's job to check
his mother and he's married to her like at some point
She needs to go to him and say, obviously you see that she's commenting inappropriately on my pregnant breasts.
Can you please fucking say something?
Can you make sure that she knows that she can't do this?
Otherwise, I can't be around her.
It's on him, right?
Yeah, he ain't going to do it, though.
It sounds like he, if it's gone on this long, he has just left it unchecked and it's not, it's not going to get corrected.
Yeah, not good.
Week, weak men.
Ben, should we hit Woody You Nuts?
We should.
Our Weddian Nuts moment of the week is our gripes with people, places and things, both big and small, whatever, sticking in your craw.
I'll go first.
I teased it earlier.
Sorry, really quick, Ben.
So we'll go first.
Take your time to think of one.
I got one already.
Even better.
I got the email.
I teased it earlier.
These ticket prices.
It's unfair.
It's not only unfair to the casual fan.
I think my real Woody and Nuts is on the season ticket holders.
You're telling me that you've been, you've been a Nick season ticket holder for how long to have these season tickets.
say 30 years. It comes to the NBA finals and you're selling your fucking tickets. I get it.
If you maybe you're in the 200 section, the 300 section, you want to make back all the money for
the next season, I get it, sell one game. You're telling me that all of the people who are spending
between $50,000 and $100,000 per seat on tickets, good seats, Josh, are selling every game.
There's never been more inventory. I read a stat. There's never been more inventory for an NBA finals than this series.
Everyone is selling their tickets trying to make a buck.
And it's like, do you even care about the Knicks?
What are you nuts?
Oh.
So true.
What a rant.
So good.
My winning nuts moment of the week is...
What a rant.
My Winnie That's moment is cash.
People don't carry it anymore.
No.
I don't like this.
It's not good.
I do.
Don't rob me, but I do.
Put a little cash in your pocket.
You know what?
signals to me, you don't tip.
Right?
And you know what?
If you do tip, then you're really making the valet stay hard.
What's he going to open up his cash app?
Yeah.
Carry 50 bucks in random bills.
You really shouldn't have a little more.
But like, just have a little cash on you.
What are you nuts?
Yeah.
We were talking about golf before we started recording.
There's nothing more embarrassing than when you're playing with somebody and he goes to the
caddy and says, hey, you got Venmo.
What are you crazy?
Oh, yeah.
What are you crazy?
You showed up to a golf course.
with a caddy and you didn't bring any cash.
You're asking this poor guy for a Venmo so he gets taxed.
Terrible.
What's the going rate on a caddy tipping?
If you got a caddy, 18 holes, what do you tip them?
It depends on how nice the course is.
I'd say the minimum is 125 a bag.
I think it can go up to 250 a bag depending on the course.
It's 125, I think, is anything less.
than that, the guy just swallowed his dignity and carried your clubs for 18 holes and he doesn't
even know you. Like, it's not your regular. It's not your regular. Okay, like this is a random,
these are two random men. One is, $125 minimum in my opinion. You agree with that? Yeah,
that's, that's fair. And I do, I do agree with you. It depends on the course. If it's a
extremely hard course to get on, maybe a private course, you're with somebody who belongs to a country
club.
You don't want to, you know, you're getting the golf for free if you get invited, right?
It's not like you're paying for the golf.
So you go heavy on the tip.
And you tip for them.
You do that also?
Yeah, yeah, me too.
Well, well, here's the thing.
And I don't know the etiquette on this, but if I invite you to play on my course,
yes.
Your wallet is nonexistent.
I'm taking care of everything for soup to nuts, the tip, to this, to that.
Don't bother.
But I'm offering to cover your.
your caddies at a minimum.
Yeah.
And then I tell you, don't embarrass me.
Well, that's, that's very nice.
That's very nice.
Yeah.
So if you're hosting, you don't have your guests tip the, tip the people.
I think too many people have accepted my gesture.
Yeah.
I've tipped for people before.
I have.
I'm the same, though.
You come to my course, you're not paying anything.
I think it's the right thing to ask.
And it's the right thing to decline.
You know what, though?
You know what I do?
I even, I bypass the guy because I don't, I have a problem with people paying for me.
I'll go right to the caddy and give them money.
I don't even go to the guy.
If I get invited, I go right to the cat.
There you go, and he's like, oh, no, Mr. So and so takes care of me.
Well, then put that on top of Mr. So and so.
I was going to say, he's getting, he's getting doubled.
He's getting doubled up.
He's not going to Mr. So and so in saying that Sebastian took care of me on the side.
He's getting doubled.
And good for him.
It's okay.
God knows.
God knows.
You got one, Sebastian?
There's my gripe.
There's my gripe.
God, this happened a couple months ago.
Had a buddy of mine stay in my guest room.
I went up and he was packing the leave.
He had his suitcase on the bed.
Right?
Okay.
Now, I don't know how you guys do it.
And I love hospitality.
I grew up in the Four Seasons Hotel, so I know like hospitality.
I have a luggage rack in the guest room.
You sure do.
That's class.
And he decided to take his black bag and put it on the white comforter and pack.
Now, I'm sorry, do you know where the bag goes?
I mean, how dirty that.
bag is. Right. And now it's on the thing. And I tell people, I don't, I go, what are you doing with
the suitcase on the thing? He's like, what are you talking about? I go, put it on the floor.
What he's doing? So I like to call people out on their behavior. I have a huge, huge issue
with behavior. And if it's not the way it should be, it's, you know, I recently talked to
Paul Anka on my podcast, and he said, the reason why in the 1950s and 60s, as entertainers,
you dressed up in Las Vegas or just dressed up in general, it's because the mob was running
Vegas at the time. And there was a code of conduct that as an entertainer that you had to have
and the mob basically told you, you look professional up there or you don't get up there, right?
So if you learn anything from this rant is we need to bring the mob back to establish some codes.
Yes, organized crime.
People aren't scared enough.
That's the problem.
There's no consequences.
None.
Not at all.
Just do what you want.
There's no more racketeering.
Bring back racketeering.
This has been five stars, Sebastian.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Anything you want to plug?
Anything going on?
I'm just in Las Vegas at the at the wind hotel, August and October.
And then doing some casinos out east, Fort Lauderdale at the Hard Rock and the ocean at the Atlantic in the Atlantic City later on this year.
When you're doing this, I need to know, right?
Do you have a certain time limit that this podcast has to be, number one?
And is there an indication from producers?
that you have reached that time limit.
How did you know to end it?
There's no time limit.
We try and hit like 50 minutes to an hour, 10, something like that.
And I have a mental clock.
My assumption is we're around an hour.
Am I right?
Yeah, just under.
A scotch under.
So I think the answer really is I'm a professional.
He really is.
You know why I asked that is because when I did a podcast,
actually was Tiger Belly.
Bobby Lee.
The great Bobby Lee.
As I was talking, a rubber duck went up on the producer put a rubber duck up on the little ledge there in the middle of my story.
And I said, what's that?
Aye, aye, aye.
And he goes, it's an hour.
We've been on an hour.
It's just our indicator that lets us know we've hit an hour.
So the duck was the indicator.
So that's why I asked if I, you know, if there was like an earpiece or somebody said, you know, hey, it's.
we reached an hour.
In the middle of a story.
That's terrible.
Bobby Lee.
I wait for a low.
I wait for a lull.
There's a low.
He did our final segment.
There's a low.
That's it.
It's not,
it's this episode's five stars.
Otherwise,
what are you nuts?
Listen to us wherever you get your podcast.
Watch us on YouTube.
Watch Sebastian.
Go to Atlantic City.
Take out your tits.
Have a great time at oceans.
Okay.
Josh, get those new tits.
I'll get them with you.
And we're both going.
Yes.
Okay?
Mondays and Thursdays, folks,
we will see you next time.
Are you one of those media strategy people
clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets?
Yes?
Good.
This is for you.
Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different,
locked in,
loyal, invested.
They're called fans.
Fans don't just listen to music.
They feel seen by it,
like it belongs to them.
So when your brand shows up on Spotify,
that's who you're talking to.
And you're right next to artists like me.
Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising. You're among fans.
