And skirt chase he has!

Last but not least, both comedians have been called out for having massive… “talents.”

Locklear was approached by paparazzi at LAX in 2017 and asked, “What is it about him that he can get these beautiful women?”

The actress bluntly answered “Well, No., 1 he’s funny. No. 2, he has a big d**k.”

Ariana did the exact same thing to Pete, well, almost exact same thing.

In a since deleted tweet from 2018, Ari was asked “how long Pete is,” which was a reference to her song titled, “Pete,” on her “Sweetner” album.

The “Be Alright” singer cheekily responded, “like 10 inches…? Oh ****… I mean … like a lil over a minute.”

She also wrote, “Huuuuuge,” on Pete’s page in her ‘Burn Book’ in her “thank you, next” music video.

Pete actually took issue with all the talk of his junk and called her out during a standup set.

"I don’t like that she talked all that shit for my penis. Everything is huge to her. Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge penis? So that every girl who sees my dick for the rest of my life is disappointed," he joked.
