While chowing down on spicy wings throughout a latest cease on Hot Ones, Pete advised host Sean Evans a few wild second from his early stand-up days.

He was round 19 or 20, doing a set, when he noticed Chappelle within the crowd. That alone made his mind short-circuit.

Chappelle gave him props and a few recommendation that Pete clearly took manner too actually.

“I have to plan it in between work because it’s a six-week healing process each time you get one removed,” he advised Variety earlier this yr. “So, each tattoo is 10 to 12 sessions. That’s 60 weeks of your life right there on just one tattoo to remove… It’s pretty horrible. It’s like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer, and then you gotta do maintenance and let it heal properly. And it’s pretty tough. It sucks, I’m not gonna lie.”

Pete’s at the moment out selling his new heist flick The Pickup, which hits theaters August 6.
