Sebastian Maniscalco (The Irishman, About My Father) joins us this week for an unfiltered conversation about chasing approval, the grind of stand-up, and learning to slow down. Sebastian opens up about growing up with immigrant parents, bombing in his early sets, and the nerves of auditioning for Scorsese before eventually working with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. He also reflects on family life, parenting, the pressure of social media, and why he dreams of one day running a boutique hotel.
