However, shortly after, Pete told the podcast Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers, “We just got all the plans built. We had them do one of those computer-generated, you know, show-you-what-it-could-be type of thing. And now, we’re out to a few people, and it seems like it’s all going well, but it’s definitely five years away. …
We wanna be able to dock it from April to September, maybe October, in New York, and it will be like a restaurant. There will be a concert venue. There will be a movie theater, upstairs, like, sort of, restaurant area. And then, there’s hotels in it. So, we’ll have a couple of those. And then in the winter, tug it to Miami.”
Host Seth Meyers said that Pete and Colin really “thought this through,” and Pete added, “Yeah, we have to, ’cause we’re in the hole!”
He continued, “Colin called me, and he’s like, ‘Hey, can you hop on this call about the ferry?’ And I was like, ‘We’re still doing that thing?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah. This is pretty serious.’ And it is. I had no idea. I saw a link and sent a deposit, and now I’m stuck with a fucking boat. It’s really funny, dude.”
However, his rep told ET that he was joking about being in the hole.
