A pirate to sit on?

What does it mean? Is it an idiom or a cultural reference?

CONTEXT:
-Yes, talking to you would’ve been a distraction.
-I know. I heard you already. My God, find a pirate to sit on, okay?

He repeated that phrase a couple of times "You would have been a distraction" so she pointed that out. However he meant that now he finds the distraction desirable. Here's the clip

Yes, I think you are right since pirates are mostly depicted with a parrot on their shoulder.
