“I remember when like the Ari thing happened, I just looked at Pete and I was like, ‘Man, the average American dude is very proud,’” the “Bloody Valentine” singer, 30, said on the Wednesday, September 23 episode of SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show.

“He was just like a symbol of hope, because he was one of the boys,” the musician explained. “Just one of the guys in the basement.”

During his relationship with the “Rain on Me” singer, the Saturday Night Live star, 26, was credited with having “Big D–k Energy,” which Kelly remembered fondly.

“I was around for the whole creation of that term,” the Midnight in the Switchgrass actor told Howard Stern. “That was an interesting time. That was kind of when I was crashing at their Pete and Ariana’s apartment in New York, when they were together. We would step on the streets and everyone would look at him.”

The comedian, who split from the Scream Queens alum in October 2018, joked about Grande’s effect on him and his career during a March episode of First We Feast’s Hot Ones, saying “Ariana Grande made me all famous and stuff.”

The King of Staten Island star added: “She sent the wolves on me. She made me, created me — whatever they say.”

“I don’t have any siblings, you know, so when you see someone, like, Pete has issues, that’s like my little brother and he’s like my best friend, too, but also like a little brother,” Kelly said, referring to Davidson’s 2020 rehab stay, which the musician helped to facilitate.

He added: “Ya, that’s my dog. Love Pete.”
