I do is I watch people and I get upset.

Speaker 3 (03:50):

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Let's see, it's probably the producer hollow morning buzz Wow,
straight out of the gate. There's no in between, there's
no producer yell at me. Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
What I never understood that I got to have someone
call you to put to put you on the phone
with me.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know, it happens a lot, Sebastian, it happens a lot.
And when it doesn't, I'm honestly and nicely caught off guard.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
If the people ask me, do you want to be connected?
I got on. I can do the number.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Sebastian.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's Greg, it's rod Ull, it's Laura. We've spoken on
a few occasions. And here's why I'm so excited. Like
last time we spoke, I said, we got to get you,
you know, back to New Hampshire. You had done shows
at the Casino ball Room and lo and behold, he's
coming back to New Hampshire and his brand new tour.
He's going to be at the Capital Center for the
Arts on February eighth and at the Wheelburth Theater in
(04:50):
Boston on March twenty third for the Stay Hungry tour.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'm glad I'm going to get finally a chance to
see you.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah. We're going back and forth here Concord and Bought,
and so I'm looking forward to getting back to both cities.
This new tour, new material. People are always asking me
if it's new stuff. I'm always writing, I mean, I'm
living my life. I got a new baby that's crying upstairs,
six months old, so yeah, we're having right into parentings.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is she crying at the moment?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I mean, is this something you should take a break
from this phone call for to go to go check
on her?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know you, no, I told my wife. Listen,
I'm doing radio for three hours tonight, man the fort.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Let me ask this, how many when my kids are older?
I have a little in their twenties and often gone.
But we only had one baby monitor. But now people
got like four baby monitors. They got freaking TV screening
up videos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You can look at everything that's going on Where are
you in that, Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, it's like scarface over here. We got a lot
of TVs going over here. We got every angle of
the kid, we got the ear, the eye, to foot,
whole thing. We can't go one minute without looking at
the kid. If she flipped the over wrong. You know,
it's four o'clock in the morning. I pat my wife.
I go, baby's supposed to be like that? Look at
the video minor be like that. Yeah, there's a lot
(06:18):
of video over here. It's no longer ESPN and HBO,
it's Saraphine on twenty four seven?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Is she better at it than you?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Because we're guys. When you said, is she supposed to
be like that? That's like right out of my own
mouth to my own wife. But they seem to be like, Oh,
it's fine, I'm all worked up over here.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh yeah, listen to baby. Something was going on with
the baby. She was crying, and my wife looked at
the monitor and she had a look at concern on
her face. And I was up the stairs faster than
I moved in my entire life. I'm like the person that,
like my wife is kind of relaxed. I'm always on edge,
(06:58):
I'm always like, is the breathing? What's going on with
the kid? Why is she crying that way? So I
don't know if it's motherly instinct or what it is,
But I'm the one that's I watched the kid. I
don't want to be, you know, the one that there's
a problem, God forbid happens on my watch. So I'm
(07:20):
always very alert of what the baby's doing on.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
The phone with us ahead because when you talk to anybody,
like each one of us on the show, there's ten
years difference between us. So some things I did with
my kid, Laura will say, oh my god, I can't
believe you you did that, and it makes you feel
horrible because you're not supposed to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well, in our time, things have changed that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, you know with each you know, ten years that passes,
there's always some type of new baby thing you're supposed
to do or not supposed to do. I don't know. Listen,
we all grew up and we seem to be all right.
I mean, yeah, it was my mother probably head of
an ashtray on my head while she was breastfeeding. Probably
(08:00):
it doesn't seem to be a problem with me. I
don't know, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I took naps in the car where the rear windshield
met the top of the back seat.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I would lay up there and take a nap. I mean,
during a car trip. That's a legit story, that's true.
I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, one of the most comfortable places do take a nap.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, Sebastian, the first time we first time.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We chatted, you you definitely plugged into some things that
I totally identify with, and I wonder how those things
have changed now because one of the things that you
talked about us was then was that you just.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You just wanted to be quiet and left alone.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And I see not. I haven't seen you in person yet.
I'm really looking forward to it. So I don't know
if that's part of the actor, if it's really you.
I think it's really you.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
There's no act in that at all. I just mind
my own business, keep my head down, and just leave
me alone.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
See the pain, ye can?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Now, how does that, Sebastian, You know, how do you
rectify that, Sebastian with this.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
One where you're never going to be alone again with
a little kid?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah? I should. I should preface that it's just the
people that annoying me. I don't really want to be
around my family. I got no problems with. It's just
kind of everyday society, going outside your door and stepping
into the abyss out there and sitting in lying at
CBS and watching somebody pay with pennies. You know. It's
just that type of guy that I got a problem with.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I legit thought it was like, I'm fifty five.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So for me, I'm the more I think that, the
more I think I'm just getting to be the cranky
old muppet in the Figa balcony. But it's happening to
people that are younger, like Sebastian, like people that are
even in their thirties and stuff. People are just they
suck outside of your inner circle.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Don't they.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, I've been thinking I've been this Swiss since I've
been twenty one years old. There's no cranky old man here.
This is something that's been still me at a young age.
And you shouldn't be ashamed whatsoever. Thank you of being
a little disgruntled with human behavior. I find it completely normal.
And those people that are out there behaving the way
(10:14):
they are behaving need to be stopped. And I'm here
to set some light on it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They need to be stopped cold, absolutely cold. Sebastian Meniscalco
coming to the Capital Center for the Arts February eighth,
and the Whilber Theater in Boston on March twenty third.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That'll be of course, in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think tickets are supposed to go on sale this
Friday at Sebastian Live.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Do I have that right, Sebastian you do, but I'm
going to.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Give your listeners a code they could get it today
actually on sale right now. You type in the code hungry,
and you're available to purchase some tickets today on a
pre sale.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So yeah, why are the Stay Hungry Tour? Are you
doing some hits from Twisted Twist's going on?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I'm bringing food for everybody and.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Good okay, awesome?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, So to Stay Hungry is also the title my
book that comes off February twenty seven, if you could
pre order the book on Amazon, and the book is
about the last twenty years of my career, basically essays
on my life in comedy, from getting booed off stage
to freezing up on Jimmy Fallon, to touring with Dice Clay,
(11:26):
working with Vince Son, Tony Danz, Jerry Seinfeld. So it's
a bunch of stories that are too long to tell
on stage and just write for a book.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So let me ask this.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You mentioned freezing up, and you know, I mean you've
been You're one of the top thirty, top grossing comedians
out there working today. I think you're one of the
funniest guys on the road. And there's comedy such a
you know, such a challenging, you know, sort of profession,
and I wanted to ask this, what happens do you?
Are you ever on stage when you freeze up, like like,
(11:57):
I know you've got a routine down, but I'm sure
you can go off the rails on a tangent sometimes
or do you pretty much stick to the routine?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
And what do you do if you freeze up?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well, I froze up on Jimmy fallon on stage doing
this set, and I get into this in the book
where it's about fifty seconds into the set, I completely
go numb. I don't know what happened, has never happened
to me before, but I forgot my entire act. I
was looking at the Q cards, I couldn't see them.
(12:26):
I don't know what happened. It was like thirteen seconds
of complete silence, and I remembered looking over at the band,
and the band was like, you know, we don't know
what to do.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
What are you looking it up for?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
We don't have the material to you, so, you know,
I don't know. It was one of those moments and
I snapped back out of it and then went right
back into my act, and the whole time I'm thinking, man,
I'm not going to be invited back to the Jimmy
Fallon Show. And then when I went to go talk
to him during the commercial break, I said, I'm so sorry.
I don't know what happened to me up there, and
he's like, oh, I don't know what. That happens all
(12:58):
the time. We'll just add it that. And then I
looked at it later that night and I'm like, wow,
it doesn't even look like anything happened. But you know,
in a world where and I feel everybody you know,
shares how fantastic they are on Instagram or Facebook, and
they never really show you what really happens when when
things go south, I thought it'd be you know, just
(13:19):
the we're all humans, we all make mistakes, and for me,
to kind of share that story about the failing on
on on the Jimmy Fallon Show is to me things
that I enjoy talking about and not everything is always
rosy in life, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh yeah, no, actually comedy, go ahead, Laura, No, And
I think you can use that to your benefit. You
can turn that into a joke and loving Like, I
take all my flaws and I make fun of them
before anybody else has a chance to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So I think it just works for me, making your
weakness your strong.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So if anybody wants to talk about my deputy dog
cheeks or my frupa or anything, I'll call them out
on it before they can call me out on it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Did you before they do? Everything's just made.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Fun of your fupa with Sebastian Menascalco, that's unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. So, Sebastian,
let me tell you what, Laura. You talked about everybody
looking good on social media?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
She found out about this trend where.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
People now girls they take the picture with themselves in
front of the bathroom mirror with the with the phone
up above their head.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Have you heard what you've seen it?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:20):
So yeah, to do a selfie, I guess, and I'm
not a selfie girl. I'm not really good at that,
but people have been teaching me. You know, you look
better if you hold the camera up and you look
down at yourself. Well, there's this girl, Michelle something, and
she's on Instagram and she created this thing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's called chinning.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
She does the opposite and takes it from below so
you can totally look at her like five double chins.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So, Laura, if you could have seen it, Sebastian, I
promise you you'd laugh.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But she's had a last all day chinning. Yeah, I've
been chinning.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
She's creating chins where there were none, and I'm like crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think you gotta get a hobby. That is her hobby.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Chinning now is my hobby. Yeah, So social media.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Thoughts on social media, because man, I'll tell you, it's
become the bane of the world's existence.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know, the more and more I do stand up comedy,
the more I work, I shy away from the Instagram
and the Facebook. I used to be heavy into it
just because just making people laugh on there, but I
don't know, you know, now it's just I go the
opposite way. I got a new baby, I'm a parent.
I had no time ago to sit there and talk
(15:29):
to people. It's through a phone. I mean, I don't know.
I mean I do it just because it's part of
the business. But I think for me it's become more
of a human connection, doing things with my time that's
a little bit more productive, rather than trying to get
like a selfie in my bathroom. That's perfect. I just
don't understand the mentality behind taking a photo of yourself,
(15:51):
and I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I so identify with the annoyance in your voice, Like
I totally like I got to have a drink with
this guy because we get along. Rokio one more question
for Sebastian Menscal.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Does the world right now?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Then?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Going on?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It need to laugh more than ever.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know what. I think people in general always need
a good laugh, regardless of what's happening on in the world.
I mean, yeah, it's tense times. You turn on the
news and it's a shooting here, it's politics, it's war,
it's whatever it is, and people are definitely looking for
an outlet. And I'd like to talk about things that
(16:27):
are very observational and family oriented rather than talk about
current events or politics or anything like that. You get
beat over the head with it on a twenty four
to seven basis. You put up your Yahoo news or
your TV and there's always something bad going on, and
I don't talk about any of it in might act.
I just talk about going to Chip pull day.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Who doesn't want to hear about that? I want to
hear dude.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'm very excited because I'm going to be at the
Capitol Center show and I can't wait to see it.
Hopefully can come backstage and say hi to you because
I'm a fan and I've appreciated your work and I
can't wait to see you live.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Man, thank you. I appreciate you guys having me on
your show.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
All right, man, thanks to Bashan. We'll have you on
again to thanks Man. There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So hey, I have a great weekend, everybody, but we
get to do something cool and then we take some
time to yourself and breathe everybody, and.
Speaker 1 (17:18):

last time we spoke, I said, we got to get you,
you know, back to New Hampshire. You had done shows
at the Casino ball Room and lo and behold, he's
coming back to New Hampshire and his brand new tour.
He's going to be at the Capital Center for the
Arts on February eighth and at the Wheelburth Theater in
(04:50):
Boston on March twenty third for the Stay Hungry tour.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'm glad I'm going to get finally a chance to
see you.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah. We're going back and forth here Concord and Bought,
and so I'm looking forward to getting back to both cities.
This new tour, new material. People are always asking me
if it's new stuff. I'm always writing, I mean, I'm
living my life. I got a new baby that's crying upstairs,
six months old, so yeah, we're having right into parentings.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is she crying at the moment?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I mean, is this something you should take a break
from this phone call for to go to go check
on her?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know you, no, I told my wife. Listen,
I'm doing radio for three hours tonight, man the fort.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Let me ask this, how many when my kids are older?
I have a little in their twenties and often gone.
But we only had one baby monitor. But now people
got like four baby monitors. They got freaking TV screening
up videos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You can look at everything that's going on Where are
you in that, Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, it's like scarface over here. We got a lot
of TVs going over here. We got every angle of
the kid, we got the ear, the eye, to foot,
whole thing. We can't go one minute without looking at
the kid. If she flipped the over wrong. You know,
it's four o'clock in the morning. I pat my wife.
I go, baby's supposed to be like that? Look at
the video minor be like that. Yeah, there's a lot
(06:18):
of video over here. It's no longer ESPN and HBO,
it's Saraphine on twenty four seven?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Is she better at it than you?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Because we're guys. When you said, is she supposed to
be like that? That's like right out of my own
mouth to my own wife. But they seem to be like, Oh,
it's fine, I'm all worked up over here.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh yeah, listen to baby. Something was going on with
the baby. She was crying, and my wife looked at
the monitor and she had a look at concern on
her face. And I was up the stairs faster than
I moved in my entire life. I'm like the person that,
like my wife is kind of relaxed. I'm always on edge,
(06:58):
I'm always like, is the breathing? What's going on with
the kid? Why is she crying that way? So I
don't know if it's motherly instinct or what it is,
But I'm the one that's I watched the kid. I
don't want to be, you know, the one that there's
a problem, God forbid happens on my watch. So I'm
(07:20):
always very alert of what the baby's doing on.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
The phone with us ahead because when you talk to anybody,
like each one of us on the show, there's ten
years difference between us. So some things I did with
my kid, Laura will say, oh my god, I can't
believe you you did that, and it makes you feel
horrible because you're not supposed to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well, in our time, things have changed that.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, you know with each you know, ten years that passes,
there's always some type of new baby thing you're supposed
to do or not supposed to do. I don't know. Listen,
we all grew up and we seem to be all right.
I mean, yeah, it was my mother probably head of
an ashtray on my head while she was breastfeeding. Probably
(08:00):
it doesn't seem to be a problem with me. I
don't know, dude.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I took naps in the car where the rear windshield
met the top of the back seat.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I would lay up there and take a nap. I mean,
during a car trip. That's a legit story, that's true.
I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, one of the most comfortable places do take a nap.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, Sebastian, the first time we first time.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We chatted, you you definitely plugged into some things that
I totally identify with, and I wonder how those things
have changed now because one of the things that you
talked about us was then was that you just.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You just wanted to be quiet and left alone.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And I see not. I haven't seen you in person yet.
I'm really looking forward to it. So I don't know
if that's part of the actor, if it's really you.
I think it's really you.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
There's no act in that at all. I just mind
my own business, keep my head down, and just leave
me alone.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
See the pain, ye can?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Now, how does that, Sebastian, You know, how do you
rectify that, Sebastian with this.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
One where you're never going to be alone again with
a little kid?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah? I should. I should preface that it's just the
people that annoying me. I don't really want to be
around my family. I got no problems with. It's just
kind of everyday society, going outside your door and stepping
into the abyss out there and sitting in lying at
CBS and watching somebody pay with pennies. You know. It's
just that type of guy that I got a problem with.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I legit thought it was like, I'm fifty five.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
So for me, I'm the more I think that, the
more I think I'm just getting to be the cranky
old muppet in the Figa balcony. But it's happening to
people that are younger, like Sebastian, like people that are
even in their thirties and stuff. People are just they
suck outside of your inner circle.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Don't they.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, I've been thinking I've been this Swiss since I've
been twenty one years old. There's no cranky old man here.
This is something that's been still me at a young age.
And you shouldn't be ashamed whatsoever. Thank you of being
a little disgruntled with human behavior. I find it completely normal.
And those people that are out there behaving the way
(10:14):
they are behaving need to be stopped. And I'm here
to set some light on it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They need to be stopped cold, absolutely cold. Sebastian Meniscalco
coming to the Capital Center for the Arts February eighth,
and the Whilber Theater in Boston on March twenty third.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
That'll be of course, in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think tickets are supposed to go on sale this
Friday at Sebastian Live.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Do I have that right, Sebastian you do, but I'm
going to.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Give your listeners a code they could get it today
actually on sale right now. You type in the code hungry,
and you're available to purchase some tickets today on a
pre sale.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So yeah, why are the Stay Hungry Tour? Are you
doing some hits from Twisted Twist's going on?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I'm bringing food for everybody and.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Good okay, awesome?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, So to Stay Hungry is also the title my
book that comes off February twenty seven, if you could
pre order the book on Amazon, and the book is
about the last twenty years of my career, basically essays
on my life in comedy, from getting booed off stage
to freezing up on Jimmy Fallon, to touring with Dice Clay,
(11:26):
working with Vince Son, Tony Danz, Jerry Seinfeld. So it's
a bunch of stories that are too long to tell
on stage and just write for a book.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So let me ask this.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You mentioned freezing up, and you know, I mean you've
been You're one of the top thirty, top grossing comedians
out there working today. I think you're one of the
funniest guys on the road. And there's comedy such a
you know, such a challenging, you know, sort of profession,
and I wanted to ask this, what happens do you?
Are you ever on stage when you freeze up, like like,
(11:57):
I know you've got a routine down, but I'm sure
you can go off the rails on a tangent sometimes
or do you pretty much stick to the routine?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
And what do you do if you freeze up?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well, I froze up on Jimmy fallon on stage doing
this set, and I get into this in the book
where it's about fifty seconds into the set, I completely
go numb. I don't know what happened, has never happened
to me before, but I forgot my entire act. I
was looking at the Q cards, I couldn't see them.
(12:26):
I don't know what happened. It was like thirteen seconds
of complete silence, and I remembered looking over at the band,
and the band was like, you know, we don't know
what to do.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
What are you looking it up for?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
We don't have the material to you, so, you know,
I don't know. It was one of those moments and
I snapped back out of it and then went right
back into my act, and the whole time I'm thinking, man,
I'm not going to be invited back to the Jimmy
Fallon Show. And then when I went to go talk
to him during the commercial break, I said, I'm so sorry.
I don't know what happened to me up there, and
he's like, oh, I don't know what. That happens all
(12:58):
the time. We'll just add it that. And then I
looked at it later that night and I'm like, wow,
it doesn't even look like anything happened. But you know,
in a world where and I feel everybody you know,
shares how fantastic they are on Instagram or Facebook, and
they never really show you what really happens when when
things go south, I thought it'd be you know, just
(13:19):
the we're all humans, we all make mistakes, and for me,
to kind of share that story about the failing on
on on the Jimmy Fallon Show is to me things
that I enjoy talking about and not everything is always
rosy in life, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh yeah, no, actually comedy, go ahead, Laura, No, And
I think you can use that to your benefit. You
can turn that into a joke and loving Like, I
take all my flaws and I make fun of them
before anybody else has a chance to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So I think it just works for me, making your
weakness your strong.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So if anybody wants to talk about my deputy dog
cheeks or my frupa or anything, I'll call them out
on it before they can call me out on it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Did you before they do? Everything's just made.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Fun of your fupa with Sebastian Menascalco, that's unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. So, Sebastian,
let me tell you what, Laura. You talked about everybody
looking good on social media?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
She found out about this trend where.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
People now girls they take the picture with themselves in
front of the bathroom mirror with the with the phone
up above their head.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Have you heard what you've seen it?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:20):
So yeah, to do a selfie, I guess, and I'm
not a selfie girl. I'm not really good at that,
but people have been teaching me. You know, you look
better if you hold the camera up and you look
down at yourself. Well, there's this girl, Michelle something, and
she's on Instagram and she created this thing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's called chinning.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
She does the opposite and takes it from below so
you can totally look at her like five double chins.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So, Laura, if you could have seen it, Sebastian, I
promise you you'd laugh.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But she's had a last all day chinning. Yeah, I've
been chinning.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
She's creating chins where there were none, and I'm like crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think you gotta get a hobby. That is her hobby.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Chinning now is my hobby. Yeah, So social media.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Thoughts on social media, because man, I'll tell you, it's
become the bane of the world's existence.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You know, the more and more I do stand up comedy,
the more I work, I shy away from the Instagram
and the Facebook. I used to be heavy into it
just because just making people laugh on there, but I
don't know, you know, now it's just I go the
opposite way. I got a new baby, I'm a parent.
I had no time ago to sit there and talk
(15:29):
to people. It's through a phone. I mean, I don't know.
I mean I do it just because it's part of
the business. But I think for me it's become more
of a human connection, doing things with my time that's
a little bit more productive, rather than trying to get
like a selfie in my bathroom. That's perfect. I just
don't understand the mentality behind taking a photo of yourself,
(15:51):
and I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I so identify with the annoyance in your voice, Like
I totally like I got to have a drink with
this guy because we get along. Rokio one more question
for Sebastian Menscal.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Does the world right now?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Then?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Going on?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
It need to laugh more than ever.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know what. I think people in general always need
a good laugh, regardless of what's happening on in the world.
I mean, yeah, it's tense times. You turn on the
news and it's a shooting here, it's politics, it's war,
it's whatever it is, and people are definitely looking for
an outlet. And I'd like to talk about things that
(16:27):
are very observational and family oriented rather than talk about
current events or politics or anything like that. You get
beat over the head with it on a twenty four
to seven basis. You put up your Yahoo news or
your TV and there's always something bad going on, and
I don't talk about any of it in might act.
I just talk about going to Chip pull day.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Who doesn't want to hear about that? I want to
hear dude.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'm very excited because I'm going to be at the
Capitol Center show and I can't wait to see it.
Hopefully can come backstage and say hi to you because
I'm a fan and I've appreciated your work and I
can't wait to see you live.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Man, thank you. I appreciate you guys having me on
your show.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
All right, man, thanks to Bashan. We'll have you on
again to thanks Man. There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So hey, I have a great weekend, everybody, but we
get to do something cool and then we take some
time to yourself and breathe everybody, and.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
We will see you Monday at five point thirty. We
got you. Have a great weekend.
