Anything you want to ask about the cast? We've been having a lot of fun. Gotta go to Patreon to get that $5 you get loose Ends every Tuesday. Plus a whole other episode of the Pete and Sebastian show that no one else gets. All ad free. See you over there.
Pete Corielli
I hear something saying this is fascinating watching this man. Get ready to do this. The grunting, the. The. The. It's like. It's like watching. It's watching a zoo animal try and figure out where he's gonna nest for the next two. Look at that. The snook, the. The Kleenex. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's a bandana.
Pete Corielli
But I was just commenting to the listeners the amount of noise and grunting that has to happen in order for you to sit down and start this thing off camera. Literally off camera. We heard, I think, you talking to Jackie and getting in, and then there's a lot of. I don't know what the. Like, what is it over there? I mean, do you make that much noise when you're just alone roaming the house?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't think so, but it's been a problem in the morning. I told you about that a few casts ago. Clearing the pipes and getting everything. And I don't mean, like, coughing it out. I feel like it's just dry in the air and just. But you've. For years with this. You seemingly just having. You just come in, sit down and go like. You don't seem to have a ritual of any kind.
Pete Corielli
There is no ritual. Whatever needs to be done before I get in here is outside the room. I look at this as almost a stage where I come up, I grab the mic, and we're in it. It would be the equivalent of you going on stage and putting the stool down, opening the water, going over, looking at your notes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, that's a good question. Like, did Leno back in the day, was he sitting at his desk a half hour before the show? Everyone. The camera guys would be like, the. This guy doing. You know, it's. It would seem weird, but. Yeah, I. And then. Yeah, you're right. I do have a. But I've always had to set this up, too, which is annoying.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, no, I. I get. You have to turn stuff on. You're your own guy over there. The man show, which I understand, but my God, the amount of. Of grunting was. Was amazing. What's that book? What do you got a Bible?
Sebastian Maniscalco
What, this? No, it's.
Pete Corielli
No, the black. The black book. You just had it in your hand. It's. And you're right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's my phone. That's my phone.
Pete Corielli
Oh, okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is. This is a Bible right here, bro. But reading this book about the west and heading out west, you don't. This has been unbelievable, the things.
Pete Corielli
Hold on. Hold that up again. Hold on. You know, there's something to be said when they Say, don't judge a book by its cover. If I saw that on display right when I walked into Borders Books.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
I. I just look at that and go, it's an Indian book. And then walk right past it. What?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Me too. As a matter of fact, halfway through reading. It's one of the best books I ever read. I looked at it because I never really looked at the COVID I just grabbed it off the shelf on vacation. You ever do that? You ever read a book that the resort has and take it home with you? Is that allowed? What's your take on that, bro?
Pete Corielli
I didn't even know the book. The resort had books.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What do you mean? You know, you've never.
Pete Corielli
I don't.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What do you mean? What, you're saying that there. There's books for sale at the resort or they're just peppered throughout the lobby?
Sebastian Maniscalco
They're just peppered on the bookcase in the lodge. All throughout the lodge. You know, if you want. If it's a rainy day, you want to grab a book and read a chapter or two. And it's. All the books are, like, within the theme of the lodge. So they're like, about Montana or about the west or about cowboys or, you know, barbecue and meat.
Pete Corielli
So that was a random pickup. You just. Just took it off the shelf. And it's the best book you've ever read. It's unheard of.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I was looking. They had a couple of cool ones up there as I was looking, perusing through them, trying to pick. And then this one was like, all about, I'm fascinated with the West. So I'm like, let me try this one. I read it a chapter, and then I was like, what's going on? This is phenomenal. And then, like you were saying, I got halfway through it, and I'm like, I wouldn't have went with the Indian on the COVID at all. I would. I mean, again, that was a politically motivated, like a politically correct thing, you know, we gotta. Gotta put the Indian on there, considering we wiped them out to get there.
Pete Corielli
Well, I mean, based on the half a book you read, what would. So far. Yeah. What would the COVID have been? If you had decided, okay, based on what you've read, what would you put.
Sebastian Maniscalco
On the COVID I think. I think I would have put on the COVID of a struggling family with a wagon trying to push it through, like, the river or up a mountain. Mom, you know, maybe working the horse, husband pushing a wheel, sun out there helping, maybe another wagon. You could See behind, because it's a whole train of them. And then maybe in the distance, just a little bit in the corner of the book, a little tiny couple of Indians looking over a cliff. You know what I'm saying?
Pete Corielli
Well, the way you're describing what should have been on the COVID my response to that is, what's on the COVID is the Indian looking at these families coming into their land going, you motherfucker. That. That. That's what's on the COVID The Indians reaction to this family coming out to their land.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Totally. Which is not, you know, gonna sell a lot of books to a white guy, you know? You know, I mean, put Billy Kid on the COVID for God's sake. You know, put something which. That's a whole chapter. It takes you through this book, takes you through about how first, how we even ended up getting there. Not counting the Indians, of course, who are already there. But then these trappers, Brody's guys, who were trapping for beaver back before we were even a country, you know, in the early 1700s, they're literally out, like where I was in Glacier National Park. But it's nothing. There's no Montana. They're just out there alone, living off the land for a year. I mean, just. Just roaming for a year at a time. And then they would have these. These beaver trap. These fur companies would have these meetings once a year at a new location, some fort out west. And all the trappers would meet for three days, and they'd party and they'd sell their furs, and then they're back out alone in the woods. Like, they talk about the first white guy to ever see the Rocky Mountains, you know, or he just stumbles upon it. He's like, the fuck is this? And they would. This is what they would do for loneliness. I won't do a whole history lesson. The Indians were cool back then because there was only a handful of trappers. It wasn't like we were moving out there in droves, right? So the Indians were helpful, nice. But the Indians, a lot of times, the chief would give you his daughter to the trapper as a wife. So you would take this Indian woman. Now, she'd live with you in the woods and trap beaver. But what was great is she would skin the beaver when you caught him, and she'd make a nice deuce. And when you're out there checking the beaver traps and you come back to your make, shift a little tent. You got a nice squad there cooking up a stew. Boom. You know, so. And. And that's how you Lived, though. That's just the thing. Lived in the woods. Nothing.
Pete Corielli
Okay. Based on your description of the beaver and the. The wife and the this and that. Based on that description of the book. This book, no wonder why it was in the lobby of a hotel, bro. You should have left out there. I'm bored.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You're not. You're bored. All right. Give me one more chance. All right. When time elapsed now, and people were coming out west for land to get, they were going out there to get to do their religion. Like, the Mormons were coming because they could do their religion. They were going out there for gold. So there were certain ways you could get west. There were a few trails that were created. Like, the wagon could get over these mountain passes. But one of the big things was you got to get to these mountain passes by a certain date. If you wait too long, the first snowfall kicks in. And if you're not over that mountain pass by the first snow pole, you're dead. And then there was this famous group called the Donner Party. D O N N e r about 25 of them. They fucking didn't know what they were doing. They didn't get over that thing. They got snowed in and they started starving to death. So a couple of them tried to go get help, never heard from again. But a bunch of them stayed, started dying, had nothing to eat, so they were eating each other. Now, what is your take on this? As they were dying and they were cutting and butchering the meat of the dead, they would label the meat. Like, if, God forbid, somebody died, my family would be Corielli meat, yours would be Maniscalco meat, and they'd label it to make sure, at the very least, you don't accidentally eat your own wife. Right? Like, so I would eat Maniscalco meat, and you would eat Corelli meat. They're like, hey, let's not get gross. We're not going to eat our own family. So. And then by the end, they finally got to this party, there was one man left alive. Everybody else was dead. And in the little hut he had, there was a pot boiling, and there were feet and hands, and another pot had a head. And he had gone crazy. And when they tried to give him bread and food, he refused it all. All he wanted was human meat. Just give me some sweet meat. He was addicted to human meat. That's all he wanted. Oh, my God. The moral of that story is get over the fucking mountains before the snow, bro. Wow. I could teach history at Yale.
Pete Corielli
What the fuck, bro? That's the story you lead with when you describe this book.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know, I take so much to entertain you. I gotta have dead humans in a pot. That's the only. The other thing we've been entertaining.
Pete Corielli
I'm in. Beaver fur it. I need a head. A head. Boiling in a pot. And I'm in, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right. Yeah, beaver, man. Yeah. And then it goes on and on with the Billy the Kid and all that. But anyway, yeah, so. But I took the book. I don't know how I feel about that, but, you know, I took it. I was liking it. I took it.
Pete Corielli
It's okay. Do you think. Do you think at the resort they're going where the house, the west book. Do you think they even notice this thing's gone?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, but if you have enough scumbags by the end of the season, you do it. Overall, I think people have been taking all books. You know, if it's just me, you're fine, but if there's like 20 mes, then you're like, we're losing half a library.
Pete Corielli
Based on who? You said stay in there. I don't think anybody's heisting books out of the library. No, no. I would get. I would dare to. I would dare to venture. Some of the books on this shelf are about some of the families stay in there. No.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Probably. You're probably right, man. And now that I think about it, Jackie was running every morning, so she would miss breakfast and I would have to take her a big bowl of yogurt. And you don't have fridges in your room, so to keep it cold, I would take another bowl with ice and dump and sit that on the bowl and put a napkin over it and carry it back to the room so she could have it later. Between that and the book stealing and the googling other people, we might have been one of the most white trash families they've ever had at that ranch.
Pete Corielli
Well, Guy, I don't know. Something's rubbing me. I'm not into. On family vacation, we gotta get the run in and not eat breakfast with the family.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Never.
Pete Corielli
I don't know if I'm into this move, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know it's a huge sacrifice. It's been going on for years now because of the training. She almost. No matter. Even like every vacation we go to Hilton Head. She's running in the morning because it's too hot to run later. But she's got two more to go. Australia and the Japan one. And then that's. The Abbott is complete. She said she's going back to a normal running lifestyle. A marathon, a year, but no more training. But she's in. She's in training.
Pete Corielli
Say what you want about it. I'm just saying I'm not into the like, oh, I'm gonna bring your yogurt back to the room. It's like. It's. It's either you get the breakfast when it's served or you're fucked. Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Listen, very funny. I'm loving it. But you would go pick cherries for Lana if she asked you to. Who you kidding?
Pete Corielli
Come on, guys, listen. This leads me into something that just happened. Okay?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, I.
Pete Corielli
Today's the first day of school. Okay?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. Oh. All right.
Pete Corielli
So we go to drop off the kids as a family. And I don't know if you've dealt with this with Jackie and parking and instinct. This story is about instinct, which I have basically for. All right? I've abandoned all of my natural instincts since I've been married. Right. Anything I naturally feel. Yeah, I. For whatever the reason, kind of. I'll give you the example. I knew it was going to be packed. It's the first day you got mothers and fathers coming to school. Our school doesn't have parking. Our school has a drop off thing where you drop off and. And you. You go, right? It's neighborhood parking. So I see a spot as we're going to the school. I told lan, I go, I'm going to park here and we'll just walk it in. And there was a family that we knew that was walking. They live near the school and they were walking. So Lana goes, no, no, no. We could find closer parking than this. This is too far. Now that family is walking from their home, right? We drove from our home. And now we're in the perimeter of what I would call walking to school. Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. Yes.
Pete Corielli
So I'm upset that she thinks. She's like, I think it's a little too aggressive to be parking here. It's a long walk. I say to that. That family is going to be in the school before we find a parking spot. Right? Okay. So I'm stewing as I'm. I'm going towards the school. Traffic on the side streets, people, you know, over people trying to inch in. And she goes, all right, see if you could park here. I go, you can't park there. And as I'm saying this, the family who walked is entering the school. We're still in the car now I'm burning.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's not good for you, bro. It's not good for you. I hear you, though.
Pete Corielli
So she tells me a place to go find parking. In my head, I go, there's not going to be any parking there either. But I don't say that because I know if I do, that's going to continue the argument or the, you know, the tension. So I turn the corner, sure enough, no parking there. There's a garage there. She goes, maybe the garage. In my head. I go, no, it's not going. That's not going to be it either. So we end up dropping the kid off in the drop off line with Lana. And I'm pissed because now I'm gonna miss the first day of school where they kind of parade through the field and then we go up to their classroom and see the class. So I drop them off. You ever do the. You know where she's. I don't know if. Does Jackie ever kind of like, oh, I'm wrong. I was wrong here and now you're mad? No.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Really? Rarely. No way.
Pete Corielli
So she never concedes and say, hey, Pete, I'm sorry. I should have.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Dude, my whole family was visiting. I lost the keys to the Subaru for two days. My whole family's here and I'm looking for keys. Both of them. The family. I couldn't even use the Subaru because I couldn't find them. Jackie was yelling at me after my family left, I found both of them in two separate bags of hers. I even texted my sister. And I just want you to know she lost them because I smoked pot. I think they driving home going, jesus Christ. He couldn't even drive his car because he lost his fucking keys. What a fucking Tommy Chong motherfucker. Right? So. And all Jackie said was, I don't even know how they got in there. That's. That's sorry. That's. Sorry. I don't know how they got in there. I like your move with Lana, though. I've done that. You gave up mentally now. Now you're just a piece of meat. You want me to make a left? I'll make a left. Want to make a right? Whatever you want, you know. You know, right?
Pete Corielli
That's exactly what it was. It's like since you screwed my whole plan up, now I'm going to give you your plan the way you want it. I'll give it full force. Right? I just gave it to her. Left, right, center. I'll do it. I'll pull up on the lawn if you want.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So.
Pete Corielli
Now I drop her off. And now, of course, I go to look for parking, which I know there's going to be none of. Right. And she's calling me from the field. Did you find it yet? I go, no, nothing. Nothing here. Well, how about you park? You know, she's still trying to give me suggestions. I said, I'm going to go back to where I wanted to park originally and I'm going to walk in. Oh, no, I feel bad. Come give me the car so you could see the. You're going to live in it. You're going to live in this, right? Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Besides, you got to admit, on some level I've been in those positions. As much as you want to see your kids little parade, it does feel good having all that leverage right now.
Pete Corielli
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
She's feeling so bad so I could like find a spot and not even take it, just so she has to call me three more times feeling horrible, like I missed the whole thing.
Pete Corielli
I did that. It was one of those spots where it was a parallel spot. It was going to be tight. Could I have gotten in? Maybe. But I'm like, I ain't fucking getting in that spot, risking getting sandwiched in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right.
Pete Corielli
I'll bypass it. Plus, to your point, I was kind of hoping I'd miss the whole thing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
She feels so bad now. If it was the other way around and she told you to park and you didn't, and now she's going, you're missing it. You're such a jerky that you would have got in that little spot right there. You would have made that work. The right. God, that's great. That's great, man. I know. You know, and they. Can you imagine if you took her up on that? Like if you literally said, okay, I'll pull up switch, you know, and that's. I find men don't. We just don't get enough credit for those kind of moments like that that was forgotten by the time you sat down. Ten minutes into the whole reception, they already forgot that whole big thing and what happened. But if it was the other way around, I feel like it's not forgotten.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, no, it's still not forgotten. I'm talking about it three hours later, right? I mean, for me, I hang on to that shit. Because she now is at a deficit while we're at the school, right? Yeah. She goes, and then she pulls this. She goes, I am so sorry. I will listen to you from now on about parking. And if I do say anything, you could go tell me to fuck off. I am so sorry. You knew. But you know what? I also. You ever get the apology just to get it out. And I don't really feel that there's any sincerity behind it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was a total guilt one right there. Totally. The last apology I got was a long story short, I was giving him Jack a hard time because I'm like, yeah, you don't. You don't come down in the morning. Just give me a peck on the cheek of Morton like that, you know? She's like, it's not a sitcom. I mean, who. You don't just come down, right? So. So anyway, I go, nah, it's just. It's just a little connection. It's all it is, you know. And I go, if I come up to you sometimes you're like, oh, I'm busy, blah, blah, blah. So then she goes for a run and when she comes back, she got the music, she takes off, she's stretching, sunshine. She sees me and she's like, I'm sorry, baby, you're right. For now on, I'm going to kiss you in the morning when I see you, right? She gives me a kiss and that's. I feel good because I ran. That's the only reason I'm getting that apology, right, is because you just psyched. Because the runs. I haven't gotten a morning kiss since, by the way, bro, since. Since.
Pete Corielli
You know what you want to kiss, you know what you do? You just put your head and you just lay it on her running shoes and you just wait for her to come and put the running shoes on.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. I tell you, probably right. And by the way, I would imagine by Sunday you go for a parking lot drive with Lana and she's going to be telling you where to park, bro. I'm telling you.
Pete Corielli
Absolutely, absolutely.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's words.
Pete Corielli
It's just never going to. And again, that's what I'm saying. If I could give you any advice to the married men out there, don't lose those man instincts that you have. Just don't lose them. Because if you start, you know, questioning. Because I was saying to myself a little bit, I was saying, well, maybe there is a spot closer. But then I'm wrestling going, no, there's not. No, there's not. You're like, you gotta stick to what you believe, bro. It's like switching religions, man. I mean, you can't do it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. You're right. And if you listen to a woman, they'll have you go into the airport 45 minutes before you flight. Like they do that kind of shit too. I'll Be going to go. Why did I listen to you? I'm freaking out right now. I'd already be sipping coffee and of my gate right now, but I was by myself. Jesus Christ. You're right. Don't lose those moments, bro. You gotta keep them. But like, I have to ask you this. When my wife gets on me about something, and now you've been married, how long you been married now? Double digits. Yeah.
Pete Corielli
11 years.
Sebastian Maniscalco
How long do you think you have had to have been married before? It's like, it's. You can complain about something, I do fine. But if I've been doing it since you've known me, that's. It ain't changing. Like, how many years in before you can officially say it's not going to change? You know, like, she's like, you always. I always know when you make coffee, there's a da, da, da, da. I'm like, well, okay, then you know that about me, so.
Pete Corielli
Well, I. Well, it's very nuanced because, you know, it depends what you are doing that you like. Oh, this is me. Except me from who I am. All right, well, if you. If you make coffee and there's coffee grounds all over the floor and it looked like, you know, a disaster area, then that's not necessarily. Because I don't buy this. Oh, this is me. You married me for you. Just parts of you. Listen, listen. There's parts of you that ain't good, right? There's parts of me that ain't good.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, no, you're right. You're right.
Pete Corielli
If you point those parts out to me, it's up to me to go. You know, what. What am I doing? Why the hell am I leaving Croft coffee grounds all over the place.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But you. You're right. But it's little. It's. It's. It's not that. It's the little timing. It's. It's. You know me. I'm going to clean up my whole coffee situation once I'm done and it's all stirred and I'm sipping and she'll go, you always say that, but you don't clean. I go, I do. I just don't clean it up right at the moment. Like you like. Like the bed. You don't make the bed. I'll make the bed. I just make it after I'm bah, bah, bah, and after my breakfast. So it's not totally inconsiderate. It's just the timing thing. Sometimes, you know, I'm not doing it when you want it done.
Pete Corielli
Well, listen, I'm with Jackie on this. It's like, as you go, you can't just shit all over the floor and then say, I'm going to clean it up in an hour, there's still shit on the floor. You know what I'm saying?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, yeah, but, I mean, if I'm getting dressed and I'm throwing clothes left and right, and you walk in, you're like, oh, my God, it's a mess. And I say, don't worry. In an hour, you won't even know any of this was here. How is that not fair? But it's here now, Pete. And you obviously picked her. Don't worry. Don't worry. So that kind of stuff. And, you know, so it's. I just don't understand, like, if people. If I'm staying the way I am, and she's staying the way she is, we're good. Don't get me wrong, but when people get divorced, like, what. What. What's happening? I don't want to have that. Have that, you know? Like what? You know, like, this ain't the voice.
Pete Corielli
These aren't divorce type problems. Okay?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corielli
The parking, your coffee grounds, the same divorce. All right? This is just. Hey, I notice you do something, it's a little messy. Be nice if you could clean it up, work together. But then on the flip side, you could go, hey, you know, Jack, be nice if I could get a kiss in the morning. Really, it'd be nice. You know, I know it's not a sitcom, but it makes me feel better. When you come down, you give me a little peck, it starts my day off right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, Right. No, I can picture what she'd say. I know it does. And if I didn't have to make your daughter's breakfast and get her clothes ready and get her back to school, I would be able to do that more often. And when she goes to school and she goes to college, I'll give you a kiss every morning. I promise. You know, that's like. That's kind of. But I guess I love her for that, you know?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, but these aren't divorced divorces. This is. Divorce.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
Babe, we got no more money. What? I gambled it all in Las Vegas. I mean, that is. That's a major. That could be grounds for a divorce. All right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
Or you wake up and you got a heroin needle in your arm for the seventh day in a row. What am I gonna do with this guy?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, man, no shit. I know one for me for sure would be. Her name was Cindy and it was just one time. That's it. There is no second chances in my family. I know that going in.
Pete Corielli
Oh, well, bro, I feel God forbid if that ever happened with you. You came back from on the road and said, listen, I'm sorry, we were just in Detroit. Your name was Shannon, and I feel like that girl. And you would be murdered.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, my God. Listen, I wouldn't be murdered, per se, but I would just instantly, everything gone. You know, I'd be, you know, living in a little studio around the corner and my daughter would be there every other weekend going. You just ruined everything, dad. You ruined everything. But Sadie, you don't know it was.
Pete Corielli
No, exactly. You don't even give visitation.
Sebastian Maniscalco
If she can. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Every second I'm not there, she would be telling my kid how I ruined everything, you know? Oh, my God. I would never know. I don't need. I don't need fear to do. To not do that. But, like, you know, it's just not.
Pete Corielli
Lana and I were talking about it today on the way home from school. We know a couple people getting divorced and this and that, and it's unfortunate they're taking their kids to school. I mean, I go, how would that even work? You know, like, you're divorced and now we're together, we're gonna like, how do you go? Are you taking the kid? Fuck you. You took Shannon out to lunch. You know, like, I felt like that would always come up. You know what I'm saying?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, totally, man. Even if Jackie ever had a new man in life, he would always just be to say to you. I'd be like, how's asshole? You know, like, he could be the nicest guy about, how's doing? He treats you better than you did, dad. All right, you can get the out of the car now, too. I'm done with all you.
Pete Corielli
Oh, God, please.
Sebastian Maniscalco
There's no other way.
Pete Corielli
You're not gonna get a divorce. We're not on Himalayan. She'll never divorce him.
Sebastian Maniscalco
She'll kill him, but she won't divorce.
Pete Corielli
Yeah. Yeah.

Pete Corielli
Questions that and we had just to give you an idea, include the listeners in. You know, we had a discussion prior to getting on here, which we normally don't do. I was like, hey, you know, what are we going to do? How could we, how could we enhance the cast? So I tried something different. I'm going to ask you a few questions. All right. These are kind of modern day questions and I want your response to see how you would either handle these situations or what you would do. All right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And you as well, right? I can throw it back at you, right?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah, yeah. These questions are just kind of thought provoking questions.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Dig it, man, I like it. Here we Go. It's like a goddamn TV show over here.
Pete Corielli
My first topic is at work, at home. All right? Now, we have jobs that require us to leave the house, right? We can't do our job from home unless we're doing this right, which we all know that this ain't gonna pay the bills.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right?
Pete Corielli
Oh, by the way, before I get into my new. My new segment here, I need to get your take on this, because this is new for me, and I. And I showed it on Instagram recently. But.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Guys. All right, listen, listen. Bro, you got a dog and now you got a chain. Yes. You're literally stealing my identity. Bro, you're stealing my. He's got a chain. Holy. All right, let me see. Move your hand. First of all, I. I don't think. I think it needs to dangle lower. What is it something from Seraphina?
Pete Corielli
No, it's from Lana. All right. It's an anniversary gift.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow.
Pete Corielli
It says. It says eternity on it, Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Dig it, Dig it.
Pete Corielli
And it's a compass, which is suggesting a direction. Like to go in a certain direction. Because direction and focus have been something that Lana and I have been talking. Eternity is. Lana and I are a couple for eternity right now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, right, right.
Pete Corielli
I had it shortened. I had it short. Yeah, it was past the nipples, which I wanna. I wanna give you. I want to get. What? Where does yours lay? On the chest? Is it. Is it mid nipple? Oh, bro, I didn't know we were going this far with it. Jesus Christ.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, wait, wait. Yeah. What?
Pete Corielli
Bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It'S like being at a beach, bro.
Pete Corielli
Kids watch the show, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I put the kidney out of the room. I'm about to show my hip surgery scar for ratings. Take it off. Tell your friends about us or we're going to cancel this whole fucking show, people. All right, done with this. It's ridiculous. I watched the Andy Garcia one the other day for sheer entertainment. I mean, right away, when he licked his spoon, and it was just unbelievable. It was unbelievable. I don't know what's going on anyway. My crosshatch a little below the nipples. I. I don't know why you shortened it, bro. It's feminine to shorten it. It's like a choker.
Pete Corielli
I felt like it was aggressive to be hanging below the nipples because I would really have to unbutton three buttons for you to see it. So I.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's right. I almost. I almost always go now with unbuttoned shirts and V necks. Like, you know who I'm stealing it a little from? I shouldn't even say it out loud. Grillo, he came in with the low cut V, everything dangling out. He looked like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. You know, just all sorts of stuff hanging.
Pete Corielli
Grillo's body, right? He had a cross on that laid in the crevice of his. Of his chest plate, which it looked like Jesus was in between two mountains, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It looks fantastic, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I could see a woman going to make love of him, going, I can't wait for my. That to get caught up in my hair. I don't take my chain off anymore, bro. I used to take it off now for like the past. I'd say four or five months. It never comes off. So at night when I roll over, I go to the bathroom five fucking ten times, it'll be like this. And I'm like, God damn, it's like choking me and I gotta do this with it. But even.
Pete Corielli
Let me see that, let me see that cross. Okay, now that's just for those of you don't see video. It's just a cross. It's. It's, it's a cross. I saw my uncle. I saw my uncle this past weekend. This guy has a, has a crucifix, right? And Jesus's body is so realistic on this thing, right? It's so. It's got blood coming off the head and this, this thing, normally it's just like a silhouette of Jesus. This as you see the pain, the nail, it's. It looks real, bro. And it's big, you know, it's big. It's heavy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pete Corielli
What's your take? Is, is, is it you go your way? No, no. Body on the cross. What do you feel about the body on the cross? You think that's too aggressive or would.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You rather just go, yeah, this is, this is from Jackie. So it was like a gift as well. But if it did have the body, I'd be like, it's too much. It's like the, you know, it's like the body that's something that hangs on a wall, you know?
Pete Corielli
Bro, I think you. After seeing that, I think I'm going, body on the cross. It's just a statement. It's like it's saying the. It's saying to someone. Look, look at how.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Catholic I. Yeah, bro, I'm half listening to you now because I'm really starting to like that chain on you with the un. I'm really, you know, bro, between that and that wrist, what do you got on your wristlets? It's a thick watch or something. Yeah, it's like, I don't know, you got a little. I would think that you might be in movies if I didn't even know you were in movies. You know what I'm saying? You got a little actor thing going now. A little autistic thing going. Little spring.
Pete Corielli
Well, I need a leather strap on the right hand. Like a leather studded strap here. And not studded.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Thinking, not studded.
Pete Corielli
Okay, leather strap. Maybe, maybe, maybe 2 inches thick. I'm going to go a step further and you're probably not going to vibe with this. And I'm not so sold on this either. I'm just going to throw this out at you. What do you think now with the. With the chain? And now eventually, a crucifix.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I knew that was the watch.
Pete Corielli
What do you think about an earring?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, definitely not, bro. Definitely not. It's too much. It's. It's not, you know, it's too much. But I like the idea of a crucifix along with that compass. And they're doing a little jiggle together. And then I'm thinking, you gotta get some sort of leather. But you listen, you gotta get it yourself quick, before Lana gets it for you. Because Suz is gonna have dangling feathers and shit. She gets crazy. Okay. I mean, even now, given the choice, you'd probably have a crucifix that. A compass. But it is the thought. So I mean, so now you gotta have to go with two. I'm assuming that's engraved and it really is cool. But you should. If Lana had it long, she was right, man. It looked cool along.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, Yeah. I just didn't like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What did she say when you shortened it? What did she say?
Pete Corielli
No, she. I go. I go, maybe it's a little too long. She goes, yeah, I thought it might be. We could shorten it. I don't know. I feel like I got it around here. Yeah, it might be. It might be. I don't know, bro. I just felt down here. I would lean over the thing, would. Would kind of swing. I don't know. I like it kind of. So cool, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And now I'm looking like, like, like if I. I hate to do it, but when I lean over, sometimes I think the only reason Jackie Fools around me is just so she can have to cross. Swinging like that when I'm hovering over. Yours is gonna. God, you're gonna pass out. It's gonna choke yourself out. When you lean over Lana. Oh, you look like it looks a Little like you're trying on your wife's necklace. That's how short that is. That's how I feel. I think you should revisit the length again, bro. But it is cool. And did you only unbutton so I could see it, or is that how.
Pete Corielli
You would be now if I was going outside? This was my vacation look. I was digging it so much, I didn't even button the shirt. You ever walk around on vacation with a shirt on just unbuttoned by the pool? Go. Maybe going to get a cocktail at the bar. I think it's a cool look.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That should be your everyday look right there. That should be business meetings and everything right there. Because you're not an. You're not an executive. You're talent. And, you know. Okay, that's good for Lana. I'm glad you got you that, bro. Looks good.
Pete Corielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No earring.
Pete Corielli

Pete Corielli
So let me. Let me get back to my. My question.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, this is a huge situation.
Pete Corielli
This. This theme is called At Work, at Home. Now, over the Pandemic. As you well know, everybody started working from home, right? And now businesses are requiring people to get back to work. My question to you is, if you were in the workforce and you could do your job from home and you had a choice, would you do it from home or would you go back into work with the employees going to lunch, what would be your move as a 9 to 5 employee?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's a tough call, right? I mean, what about you? It depends on the job. Well, I was writing on Kevin Kuwait, and the pandemic kicked in, and we still had episodes to write. It was nice just, you know, doing it. Waking up, going in the office and writing it, you know? But then after, like, two weeks, you started to miss the Camaraderie and the laughing and like that. So I think go in. What about you?
Pete Corielli
I've always been a go in guy. I think you get a lot done when you're at work. It's more inspiring. I feel like people that work and especially if you're a employer, right. I would want people to come in to the job because automatically I would think you're at home, you're in your underwear, eating pretzels on the couch. No productivity. There's a lot more distractions, I would say at the house than say at a work environment. So I have to go in myself.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. And on top of that, what I always liked about work, man, is these, you make these relationships at work that like make no sense, right. Like when I worked front desk, I was 24 years old, I was friends with a 57 year old woman from Senegal, Africa, like close. Like I bought her Christmas gifts. You know, I had, you know, I had another friend, Nesta, who was like, you're just friends with different ages, different people. When you work with someone, you tell them about you marriage things you wouldn't even tell family members because this is just a work person. That's it. You're like, it's a different life and it's nice to have that, you know, going there. I remember like one time when I was in, I had graduated college and my dad used to smoke cigarettes too and he quit, made a big deal out of it. My mom never quit, you know, and I just started working in the city and stuff. And one day I'm like, I'm just going to go surprise my dad, you know, and I go right up to his company and you know, he's a partner, so he's got his own office. So nobody stops me or anything. You know, I walk in, my dad's putting out a parliament. He, he'd been telling the family he quit, he's smoking a pack a day in his office. That's what I'm talking about. That's.
Pete Corielli
I think you're right. It's another life at work that people that don't work in that environment would never understand. Because I don't know if you've ever been in a situation where you're at a work party and then you have to bring Jackie, right? Or if Jackie is at a work party and she brings you and everybody's got their like work talk that they're laughing over and you sit there as an outsider going, this ain't even saying funny or what are they talking about?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, right, right. Right. It's like one of them like, oh, that reminds me of Kathy in the lunchroom. And everyone's like, ah. You're like, what the fuck is going on with Kathy in the lunch? Right? Yeah. Not only that, you're like a big deal when you're, when you're, when you're married in the Christmas party and you bring your husband and wife, they'll go, so this is him. Heard a lot about you in the breakfast room. You know, like that kind of. It's a different world and it's healthy, man. And it's good for the marriage too. Don't, don't. No, but don't you think, man.
Pete Corielli
Bro, listen, I totally agree that at work you make friends with people that you would probably never run across in any other situation in life. I was confiding in a 68 year old grandmother at United Airlines employees credit union, fresh out of College. I was 22 and she sat right across from me, right? So I'm like buddies with a 68 year old woman.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm like, what does.
Pete Corielli
This would never happen anywhere else. Behind me, behind me was a very conservative 42 year old Indian woman with a dot on her head and the whole like just Indian garb, right? Me and her having a ball, right? And I'm thinking to myself, these relationships are so specific to our environment that right, There'd be no way I'd be calling up a 42 year old mother of two who's an, you know, Indian woman saying, let's go grab a cocktail tonight. No, I mean it's okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know how they like their coffee, Right? Right. I mean it's the things you know about them just from being around them every day, right? It's amazing. When I worked front desk, the guy's name was, I worked with two, they were married, he worked there too. His name was Moussa Musa Y from Senegal and they had a baby and that whole family was from Africa. When their baby was 6, 7 months old, I babysat one night, they brought it to my apartment so they could finally have a night out together. And my buddy Larry, who you've met, he was my roommate. So we had a six month old black baby and we're walking down Second Avenue with it and I'm like 22 and it's my, my buddy's kid and like people would look in and they couldn't make, they're like, what? They thought we kidnapped it. Two 20 year old white guys walking a black baby down 2nd Avenue and the baby's crying like crazy, like crying, like non stop because it's freaking out, you know, it finally tied itself out. It was just exhausted, you know, I don't know what it was. A good dude, that guy though, him and his wife, they were good people. But again, right, what am I doing? I mean, six months ago I was doing keg stands in Fredonia at the house. Now I'm strolling down with a little baby. Dual citizenship, USA and Senegal. You're having cocktails with a 68 year old lady and an Indian woman. And that's why you're right, bro, we gotta get back in the office, get those relationships going again. Great game, Great game with that question.
Pete Corielli
Well, that's another thing. I would hear the Indian woman talking to her husband and then you ever, you ever hear like a fight over at work over the phone? Like you're working, but you're hearing like, oh, so then I would go to the senior citizen having a fight with her husband on the phone, tune in, you know, but you don't get that at home in your underwear, bro. You just don't get those, you know, you just don't, you know, the interaction. So I agree. Go into work if you're, if you're working at from home, people, please, you're doing yourself a disservice. Get back into the office, make those friendships, have fun, go to lunch. It's worth the drive in. I want to get into something that happened. And this game comes and goes, by the way. My game comes and.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yes.
Pete Corielli
All right, we don't like, play it. And then here's the next question. No, I pepper it in throughout the show. These, these little, these little talking points I like. I, I went to a barbecue over the weekend, right? We have some Persian friends and they invited us to their home. Now I think I finally found a culture that provides a quantity of food equivalent to Italians. Because I'm often disappointed when I go to barbecue or party because of the food. The food sucks or there's not enough of it. All right? The Persians are just like the Italians when it comes to food, all right? But we get there and there's an abundance. I'm all about abundance, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Choices. You mean choices.
Pete Corielli
And I mean they had a fruit plate that, the watermelon, the mango, strawberry. And I think we covered this on the, on the, on the cast before. It's not trash fruit. You know, trash fruit is.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, you think cantaloupe. I disagree.
Pete Corielli
But yeah, cantaloupe, honeydew, trash. I need, I need blues and reds. That's That's. That's good fruit to me. If it's blue, red in that tote, as soon as we go light green and light orange, I'm out. Don't look good.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, if it's just right, what if you scoop it in them little ice cream balls and make little balls out of the little melon balls?
Pete Corielli
The problem with honeydew and melon is there's such a small window of ripeness, and if you don't get it, it's gone. You know, with a banana, you got some time. I feel like with a banana, you got. All right, I could eat it now, but I could also eat that in three days. I feel. What melon? You got 33 minutes to eat this shit or it's gonna go bad, Right? So, yeah, and I'm. Dr. I found something new. And I don't know if I'm just seeing this for the first time or it just came out, but the other day I had. I bought a pineapple.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
Pink inside. You ever have pink pineapple?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No. What? No.
Pete Corielli
Patrick. Have you. Have you had this?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
Okay. Maybe it's. Maybe it's a California thing. Pink pineapple. I'm eating this thing, bro. I ate the whole pineapple. The whole thing. Gone, Right? Really?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow.
Pete Corielli
Delicious, sweet and yellow watermelon.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's going on with this?
Pete Corielli
I never heard you try that, Patrick.
Sebastian Maniscalco
At the Asian market.
Pete Corielli
Okay? Patrick's piped in, bro. He's eating the same engineered.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is this. Is this natural? I mean, if it is.
Pete Corielli
If it is, keep making it. It's delicious.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Did I hear Patrick say he got it at the Asian market? They got fruits there that, like. I don't even. I never heard of. Is that. Is that where you got. Is that like some Vietnam watermelon or something?
Pete Corielli
No, I didn't get mine at the Asian market, to be honest with you. I don't even know where an Asian market is. Never been in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right. But this yellow watermelon, you think it's grown in America? Well, you don't care.
Pete Corielli
I didn't look. I didn't look. I didn't look. He's looking it up right now. Find out if pink watermelon is. Is something that's growing, like, in the Bahamas or like. Or is this genetically made in a. In a factory in Ohio?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah. It's like a watermelon meets a pineapple sort of a thing going on over here, bro. Rohan.
Pete Corielli
They were grown in Africa about 5,000 years ago. Yellow watermelon. So all you need to know about Yellow water? Yeah, bro, it's. It's just. I'm just the green age.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I never even heard of that, bro.
Pete Corielli
Look at that. Look at the green. The green rind against the yellow. Those two color combos. If I see that on a fruit plate, I'm in. I'm in. Show that because that's another great combination palette of, of the, of the pink watermelon against almost that brownish kind of skin on the outside. Tell me if that ain't on a fruit plate, you ain't in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's the pink pineapple right there.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, pink pineapple.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow.
Pete Corielli
Yep.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, God, this is like fascinating. I never heard of these things at my age. It's unbelievable to like not have known about these things. So, yeah, I guess. I mean, I guess I'd eat it, but I'd be like, what the hell is that? So does it taste even better than a pineapple?
Pete Corielli
I don't know if it's a mind or what it is, but when I eat the watermelon yellow and this, it just automatically is sweeter than anything. The regular red or the regular yellow. Anyway, I'm at this Persian party, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
I sit down with about four Persian men and they bring out kebab, right? You ever have kebab?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Isn't that meat on a stick?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah, that's all. So they're so into kebab, bro, right. That their conversation is often into corrupted about how the kebab is. So, for example, and by the way, Persian men love to tell you what they own and what they have, right? So this guy, right, he's sitting there, he goes, I got 250 foot yacht that lives in southern France. I take it to Turkey this year. Beautiful down there. You want kebab? It's the kebab. It floats in and out of conversation. But it's not an abrupt thing. So I'm sitting there listening to the story and I have kebab, right? I go, no, I got my. He goes, no, you don't have chicken kebab. You have beef. You want to give him chicken kebab. Give chicken kebab, right? And he's yelling to a guy, right? Mexican guy that's making Persian food, right? It's amazing. This guy comes out with a sword of kebab. This guy's got kebab on his sword. Just fucking puts it on the plate. And then they begin to tell you again about the yacht. You know, we take the yacht to go, I got the six man crew and I'm going to Buy another yacht. So much bigger. And they don't give a fuck what. They don't give a fuck about what you do.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, right, right.
Pete Corielli
What do you do? I go, I'm a comedian. No, comedian. I did comedy in 89. Too funny. I was. Too funny. I was too funny. What?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. How'd you even ask. How do you know. How did you meet these?
Pete Corielli
They're friends. And then, you know, like, when you go to a party, there's other. They're friends there. So I'm sitting down with having a.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Ball, by the way.
Pete Corielli
I've been just even listening to them talk. They're very colorful. I like. I like people that have something to say when we're at a party. Yeah, I don't like the idol, so, you know, like, my wife and I went to. No, this guy's talking about yachts and kebab. I'm in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right? Yeah. Anyone we got robbed about whatever they do.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, the guy told me got robbed in San Francisco. I'm sorry. I want to hear about that. I got robbed in San Francisco. That's a story to me. That's something you tell at a party, which I don't think a lot of people have this in their brain. When you go to a party. This is for the listeners. When you go to a party, you have to bring interesting stories to the party. If you don't, don't come. Don't come to the party. Because this guy, one after another, boom, yacht robbed. I'm in. I'm in. What else happened to you?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, yeah.
Pete Corielli

You gotta bring the greatest hits, man. Or the best stories.

Some.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's amazing, though. Sometimes I'll be at a party and someone will tell a story, and I'm like, that's. That's what you're bringing? That's what you got, man.
Pete Corielli
So, yeah, this guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's the rob story? Did he tell you was a gunpoint? Was it knife or what?
Pete Corielli
No, it was just, you know, it was more about what the. What kind of watch they stole. Again, back to what he's got, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
It was.
Pete Corielli
It was more about the. No, it's a Richard Mille watch. This beautiful watch they took right off my wrist. And the insurance, they don't cover nothing, you know, it was. It was. You know, it was more like. Yeah, it wasn't so much about the robbery. It was about, like. I feel sometimes people tell you they got robbed to tell you how much they took. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, they robbed my house. They took 500 grand. Like, Jesus. I don't think it's about getting robbed. I think it's about. It's a way to like, almost humble brag. How much you got, right? Anyway, yeah, had a ball with these Persian people, by the way. Persian people are the only people that buy shoes manufactured from the car, right? From what I had Lamborghini low tops on, right? Like, like, they get like, the Ferrari boots. He's got it pulled up here like, Puma makes a Ferrari shoe. That's a Persian shoe, bro. That's a Middle Eastern shoe. You don't find that black people, Asian people. This is like a. This is from the Iran collection, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
They got their own style. I love it. Oh, yeah, that looks European big time, bro.
Pete Corielli
That's not European. That's Iranian, bro. That's. I got Ferrari slip on. Oh.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So they're well groomed. Like Italian men, too, though, right? With the. With the chains and. And all that, right?
Pete Corielli
The. The jewelry is unbelievable on these guys. And they don't. They're not. Listen, I. By the way, I just took my down to street level. I shaved. I felt like I was getting a little wild with the hair. Even mine was like, all right, let's. Because now I got chest hair that's gray. It's like I got tricolor chest hair gone, right? Took it down. Plus, I'm getting. My legs, I'm getting. When it gets hot and I wear pants, I break out in a rash. I don't know what the going on there, but I got like whiteheads on my calf. That's weird. So Persians don't shave, bro. This guy's jewelry was buried. I mean, buried. You couldn't even make it out. What the. It was. You almost had to say, hey, do you mind if I move your hair to see the most band hanging off?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's how it should be. Sometimes my cross is hiding like a sand crab in the bank and you can't find it. Where are you, little girl? I almost got. I gotta pull the chain. Like pulling an anchor from the water just to get the cross. I don't know what you do. That whole gray, half gray chest, all that, that's like. That's a man's chest, bro. That's a man's chest. You went back to boy band. Boy band chest.
Pete Corielli
Which brings up a topic that, you know, how old is too old to be shaving your. Your chest, right? Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now what. How does that. Is it. Is it a buzzer or is it full on razor with shaving cream on the chest? How does that even work?
Pete Corielli
I take it down with a, what do you call it? One of those clippers? Clip, right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corielli
And then I. And depending on how good I got it, it needs a, it needs a straight razor this time. I straight razored it because the pattern of hair growth didn't look good, bro, I'm telling you, my hair that's growing off my body. Some men have like really thick hair. Looks good. I got what my friend John describes as spider hair, bro. I got spider hair coming off my chest and legs. It don't look good.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So. So. Well, when it grows in now when you shave, doesn't it itch when it's first coming back in?
Pete Corielli
No, no. I've shaved it so much over the years. It's, it's used to this type of treatment. I mean, if you, if you haven't done it, you might have a. By the way, talking about hair care and whatnot, I got, I bought a horse brush to lather, you know? Okay, yeah, I got that. I got, I got a whole kit I bought with the horse brush, the shaving cream, the pre shave oil, and then the aftershave. And I'm doing something now that I've never done before and I want to get your take on it to see if you even do this. So I lather up, right. First I do the pre oil all over. Do you do pre oil at all?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't even shave, but no, I don't. I never did that in my life. I don't even know what that. That's pre oil before you shave.
Pete Corielli
Yeah. So it basically kind of moisturizes the whiskers and what have you gets it ready for the lather, right? You put the lather on. So what I do is I go now with the grain, down with the grain, down on the neck. Okay. I do a rinse, I do another oil, another lathering, and then I go against the grain.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, all right, man.
Pete Corielli
Then I dunk my head in 42 degree temperature water. I just put my head down.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
And I stay there for about 30 seconds. Tighten up the pores, right? Close the pores and I do an aftershave, bro. I'm telling you, the shave stays for at least a day longer with the up and down grain move. It's like a double shave.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I bet your face feels so rejuvenated when you're done with all that. Right?
Pete Corielli
Beautiful. Telling you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I, I would love to do that, but I'm just, I'm not attractive without any kind of facial hair. It's a, It's a train wreck. It's skinny face. It's flaps, it's.
Pete Corielli
Well, you don't have, you have, you have a little. Oh, okay now. Yeah, you do. Okay. I couldn't really tell, but yeah, you got some growth there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Yeah, that little bit makes a difference. But yeah. No, I. What I've always wanted to do, which I've never done, maybe we could do it on the road. Me and Pat would be fun. Code or barber, and have them like, you know, do that. I've never, you know what I'm saying? Have you ever had that done?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, we definitely have to go get a men's shave. I think that that's what we have to do. But I'm gonna throw another wrinkle in this and see if you've ever done this. Have you ever gotten ready with a collared shirt, put the tie on and shaved with a suit on? Or has it always been like bare chested right out of the shower, right before the shower? Have you ever shaved with clothing on?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. T shirt. Yeah. But when I used to work front desk sometimes I, I wouldn't be shaved enough for the GM's liking. He was a cool guy. So he would come over and he would go, go to the barber. And we had a barber in the lobby at a hotel, and I'd go to the barber and. And have to shave in the barbers. So I just undo my shirt and tie and do it like that real quick. But then you got, if you get a cut and then it gets on the collar or the shirt, it's a whole thing. But why you, why are you asking about that? Why you normally shave with your shirt on?
Pete Corielli
I saw an instructional, instructional video on YouTube where the guy was shaving with a full suit on. And I was like, wow, that's a move I've never seen before. Shaving with a suit. It looked, it looked more manly than shaving with no shirt on. Just shaving with a tie on. Right. Just the lather just barely hitting the shirt you got. It's, it's, it's a, it's a gentleman move, which I might try just for the hell of it, just to see.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know, man. I. I picture shaving. You're shaving and there's a woman's face in the mirror asking you about your day. And you're like, it's about 10:30. We have that meeting, right? And I'll be there. I'll be there, baby. I said I'd be there. I'LL be there. I said, right? Dig it, bro. But you look. You look good while shaved like that, you know, you like your face is good with it. I don't know. Some people look better with a beard. Some people look better without.
Pete Corielli
I showed the photo of myself bald that Patrick put on Jackie.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Bald. Yeah.
Pete Corielli
I show my show. My daughter, she goes, daddy, never lose your hair.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow, man.
Pete Corielli
Let Jackie think. What did Jackie think of me bald?
Sebastian Maniscalco
She thought you looked not bad because your face is. Your. Your chrome was kind of round. So. Yeah, she didn't think it looked too bad.
Pete Corielli
What'd you think of yours?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I wasn't on there. It was on. I. Somebody sent it to me. They only sent me yours. I told her, though. I go, was it was. She actually said. Because she knows the shape of my head. She's like, you can't be bald, Pete. Like, she said it like that. Like, she said it like, I will pack my bags if you like. Almost.
Pete Corielli
Well, listen, I didn't show Seraphina you bald because I wanted her to sleep at night.
Sebastian Maniscalco
She's gonna go, daddy, that was the man who was here. Is he sick now? But Jackie said in seriousness, she's like, you know, they have better toupees now. Maybe that would be something you'd consider.
Pete Corielli
Oh, wow. Oh, my God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
