Summary

Podcast Summary: The Pete and Sebastian Show – Episode 625: "Goodbye Kisses"

Introduction In Episode 625 of The Pete and Sebastian Show, hosts Pete Corielli and Sebastian Maniscalco delve into a variety of relatable and humorous topics ranging from personal style preferences to gym etiquette, aging gracefully, and cultural experiences. Released on October 15, 2024, this episode offers listeners an engaging blend of comedy and candid conversation, perfectly encapsulated by the chemistry between the two A-list comedians.

Socks and Style Preferences The episode kicks off with a light-hearted discussion about sock choices, highlighting the hosts' differing preferences and the practicality behind them.

Pete shares his minimalist approach:

“I go black, black, always black. No white sock, first of all. And it's just a basic, you know, not too thick, definitely not a dress sock.” (04:52)

Sebastian contrasts Pete’s style with his own preference for solid, non-decorative socks:

“I don't think you're wearing anything decorative in your 20s. I think you could get away with it. Not even that, bro. What am I saying? I've never wore decorative socks.” (06:33)

This exchange underscores their focus on comfort and functionality over fashion trends, resonating with listeners who prioritize practicality in their wardrobe choices.

Gym Experiences and Workout Routines Transitioning to fitness, Pete and Sebastian share anecdotes about their gym habits and the interactions they've encountered while working out.

Sebastian humorously observes Pete’s intense focus during workouts:

“I saw it firsthand. It was a beautiful thing to see, bro. I really was impressed, really was impressed with your athleticism and your shot.” (35:35)

Pete explains his workout routine, emphasizing the balance between cardio and weightlifting:

“I do cardio because I like to drink beer. So I got to get that out of me. And then usually every other day, I'll do some weightlifting. Nothing heavy, but, you know, so it's not just all cardio.” (10:19)

They also discuss the challenges of maintaining fitness as they age, touching on flexibility and the physical toll of constant travel:

“I do have a lot of suits. The reason I don't wear suits is when I bought a lot of the suits, I was about 12 pounds lighter.” (09:01)

Sauna and Steam Room Etiquette A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to their shared experiences and opinions on sauna and steam room etiquette, highlighting the awkward and often uncomfortable moments that can arise in such settings.

Sebastian recounts an uncomfortable encounter in the steam room:

“I don't want to see it? I just want to be in my own thing. I want to sweat. I want to think. I want to, like, maybe meditate.” (26:11)

Pete adds his perspective on maintaining personal space and proper attire:

“I was like, you can't sit next to you. I don't want to see it. I just want to be alone.” (25:27)

Their candid discussion reflects a common sentiment among gym-goers who seek privacy and tranquility during their workout routines.

Basketball and the Realities of Aging The conversation shifts to their recent basketball game, where aging becomes a focal point as they reflect on their athletic abilities.

Sebastian humorously laments his diminished prowess on the court:

“I went up to dunk, felt like I had cement in my feet. I barely got the damn thing over the rim.” (36:42)

Pete praises Sebastian's effort despite the challenges:

“I saw you doing the... when you were shooting the three pointers, it was like tossing a medicine ball.” (35:34)

They explore themes of aging, physical limitations, and the importance of staying active without overexerting, offering a humorous yet sincere take on growing older.

Dining and Cultural Observations Their culinary adventures provide a rich backdrop for discussing cultural authenticity and the preservation of family-owned businesses.

Sebastian describes a memorable night at an Italian restaurant:

“I felt like it was kind of Rat Packy. I felt like that would have, would have been like the scene if the Rat Pack went out.” (43:25)

Pete emphasizes the importance of maintaining cultural heritage within neighborhoods:

“I think if you grew up like in an apartment above one of these restaurants in the North End, I think I could go my whole life living within four blocks right here.” (43:00)

This segment highlights their appreciation for authentic cultural experiences and the role of local businesses in preserving community identity.

Flights and Pilot Interactions The hosts vent their frustrations and curiosities about flying, particularly focusing on pilots' roles and in-flight interactions.

Sebastian shares his unease with pilots handling unexpected situations:

“If he goes up to adjust something on the ceiling or something, do you go, ho. Oh, shit, he forgot to level it off.” (51:11)

Pete discusses the complexities of piloting and passengers' misinterpretations:

“When we hit turbulence, Jock had just gone to the restroom, and the pilot goes, is that back door open? Can we close that back door?” (52:07)

Their humorous take on the often-overlooked aspects of flying provides listeners with a relatable perspective on air travel anxieties.

Conclusion In closing, Pete and Sebastian reflect on their touring experiences and promote their Patreon channel, encouraging listeners to engage more deeply with their content. They wrap up the episode with laughter and mutual appreciation, leaving listeners eager for more stories and insights from their evolving lives on the road.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I.

[Pete Corielli]

Let you drive around my mind all right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Welcome to the Pete and Sebastian Show. Pete Corielli, Sebastian Maniscalco. I am wearing a gift today. I have to give a shout out to Burnley FC. That's J.J. watts soccer team. Kind enough to send some new merch here from Travis Matthew. So thank you, J.J. watt for sending this over. Also got some socks from the team. I tell you what, socks aren't rated as a gift, bro. Always looking for a nice pair of socks and just something to think about with the holidays around the corner. Socks for either fathers or sons or what have you. What's your take on socks? Let me, let me get your take on socks as far as what type of sock does Cory Ellie wear with his boot while he's performing? Is it a dress sock? Is it a thick sock? Athletic sock? What kind of socks you got on?

[Pete Corielli]

I go black, black, always black. No white sock, first of all. And it's just a basic, you know, not too thick, definitely not a dress sock. Those are too thin. That's like skin and that's it. And God forbid, then the pant comes up a little high. God forbid, and you see some sock, you're not even going to be sure if you saw sock, boot or jean because it's dark guy, I'm, I'm thrown. Me and Watt are done, bro. We're done to give you a sweatshirt. I knew you fame level.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I knew you were gonna.

[Pete Corielli]

And a sweatshirt can be seen. Socks are just socks. So I don't get socks because no one sees your socks and goes, oh, Sebastian wears those. And then, and then there's the come on down to see how the sausage is made. And then the text saying, don't come down, you're not invited now. No socks. Wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I knew you were going to take this the wrong way.

[Pete Corielli]

I don't take.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Seriously.

[Pete Corielli]

I'm just joking around. I'm trying to bust his chops. I don't really have a thing about socks, man. I just like a dark sock that's comfortable. I don't wear those kind of dress pants where the sock shows a lot. If I did, a sock would be a big thing. But I don't like when guys get overly, you know, like all of a sudden his pant comes up and it's like a little mini saxophones, you know, like that kind of fucking thing. Because he's a musician.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't.

[Pete Corielli]

It's not part of the outfit. It's a fucking thing to keep my foot protected and warm. Your.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I agree. I don't think. Yeah. I don't like the decorative sock look where a guy crosses his legs and he's got balloons on his socks or whatever the hell he's got. I'm into a solid sock look, and I feel. I feel that's the way to go, especially as an adult. Especially when you're 50 past 50. I don't think you're wearing anything decorative in your 20s. I think you could get away with it. Not even that, bro. What am I saying? I've never wore decorative socks.

[Pete Corielli]

No. Right. I mean, although.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Let me, Let me, Let me. Let me pause right here. My father does this. He wears decorative socks, but his sock is more like little green specks or a little design. Like a little like maybe black and white lines. You know, there's. There's lines. There's no, like. Like lines, like.

[Pete Corielli]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like if. Yeah, like, just like pattern. He has pattern socks. What's your take on a pattern sock, man?

[Pete Corielli]

You know, your dad comes from a generation. My dad kind of did that, too. So, like, you know, grandfathered in with that look. But I'm trying to. So I really. I really can't say the way. But, like, you have a tendency to dress European sometimes with, like, your sneakers, your jackets. Am I. Am I wrong to say that, like, I see them when I'm in Rome. They kind of wear what you wear sometimes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I mean, if you want to call it European, let's go ahead and call it European, because that sounds a lot better than anything else I would say.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, I mean, just the other night I was talking about your sneakers and you said they were European. Right. The black ones, like, you don't even wear.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The difference between European and Italian.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, that's what I meant. Okay, okay. But I See, Italians, this is the part I've never seen you do, and I'm asking why? Because it seems like something you would do. They wear the suits that, like, with the pants that are too short and fancy shoes and nice socks. And you've embraced a lot of the casual Italian attire. But then when it comes to dress up formal, you go American more.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I do have a lot of suits. The reason I don't wear suits is when I bought a lot of the suits, I was about 12 pounds lighter. So. You ever put a. Well, you don't have a problem with weight, though. I do. I do put a pair of pants on, bro. Come on. I seen you work, by the way. We got so much to get into. Let me just sidestep here and talk about the way you work out. I want to give this. I want to give this visual to the audience, which I've never seen before in my life. So Pete and I spent a good portion of the last 25 days together. And I would see Pete in the gym. Pete loves to do the elliptical machine. And what I've noticed is Pete works out with his eyes closed, which I've never seen before. And I want you to give a peek into the. Into the. Into the listeners here of. Are you so into the music or, like, where do you go with your eyes? Because it's not. It's not this. I'm going to. I'm going to give you an example. It's not this eyes shut. It's not this. It's this. It's like a hard squint.

[Pete Corielli]

It is, it is.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And I literally stood next to you on the. While you were on the treadmill. I stood next to you for a good 15 seconds, maybe even 20. You didn't even notice I was there. You didn't even feel another human being next to you. What the hell are you thinking of when your eyes are shut?

[Pete Corielli]

You're right. I got the music on. And by the way, I don't. I do cardio because I like to drink beer. So I got to get that out of me. And then usually every other day, I'll do some weightlifting. Nothing heavy, but, you know, so it's not just all cardio. But, yeah, I want to get it done. And it's got to be at 45 minutes at least, usually another 15 on a row. And I put on music. I love my head down. I get into the music and it's like. It's like. I equate it to, like, a woman or man who loves to dance and they just go and they rave and they're just dancing and like, for an hour. That's what I do. Workout wise, I just take it to that level, eyes closed and go, you know, I don't know how else to describe it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I, I gotta commend you, though, on the workouts. I mean, you're. You're in there for about an hour on that thing and you are sweating out a lot of that beer that you intake during a normal evening. So kudos to you.

[Pete Corielli]

But again, can I say, you'll work out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, good.

[Pete Corielli]

It's a. It's, it's. It's. It's a little too casual. It's a little too casual. I'll push you a little harder, but it's a delicate thing because you're also going to play in front of thousands of people. So I don't want to burn you into the ground. So, like, I mean, I'm only doing 15 minutes, and even then I'm like, ah, I got the show tonight. I should probably stop there, let alone headlining the whole damn thing in an arena.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It is very casual. There's some ailments that I'm dealing with. I don't want to push it where I possibly get hurt, and I can't do the show. So, yes, it is very casual. It's just for movement purposes only, just to get the body stretched out and whatnot. But you pegged it right. There is not a lot of exertion going on. It's.

[Pete Corielli]

You should do more stretching, bro. You should just make it full on. That's. That's big. That's the biggest thing with us as we get older, man. I can work out all I want, but I can't bend down to lift a puppet pencil without it being a big deal. You know what I'm saying?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I agree. I totally agree with you.

[Pete Corielli]

Stretch it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So you pegged it. Right. And I also want to talk to you, speaking of working out, about what we dealt with the last stop we had where we were in the gym, and there was a guy in the gym, and he was bothering me with the sounds coming out of his body and where he constantly was. You know, like, you're in the gym and you feel like you're. Wherever you go, there's always somebody there. Like, they're doing almost the same workout you're doing. It's like, guy.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I saw you doing the. What do you call the row machine.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

There was another row machine next to you.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And he started to row as you were rowing Now, I'm sorry if I do rowing and you're. And I see that there's an empty row machine next to a guy that's already rowing. I don't do rowing that day.

[Pete Corielli]

Right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Done. I'm on a treadmill. I don't know what the was that, man.

[Pete Corielli]

And especially because the whole gym is empty, so. And no one rose that long. Wait the 10 minutes. So then my phone is kind of like, near his row machine. I'm like, do. I can't believe you said that. Because when you said it, I was thinking the same thing. I'm like, do I move my phone? I'm like, guy, what the. What are we fucking dating? Get the fuck out of here. Like. Like, you're right on top of my shit. You know, I can't stand when I do. Like, another thing I'll do is, oh, by the way, he was stretching right in the middle of the gym. There's so many nooks and crannies. Take it. You know, I feel, though, sometimes when you're working out in a hotel gym, I feel like a lot of times we're dealing with amateur hour. Like, people that maybe don't go to normal gyms. Maybe they have a little something at home, maybe they don't normally work out and then, you know. So, yeah, that guy kind of annoyed me too, I gotta be honest. But when I'm done with a. Like, if I do dumbbells or something, and then I go over here to do something else and it's clear that I'm going back and forth, don't slide in there and get a thing and just wait till I'm done. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I will adjust my workout to where people are in the gym. I'll do a machine that I've never done before to avoid someone doing something near a machine I wanted to use. Yeah, I might do a. I might do a body part that I've never even tried before just to avoid people.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, you're so self aware. You're probably like me again, Larry Bird, like, instincts. I'll be using a machine, and I notice somebody else is working their way down machine to machine. And I'm like, they're gonna. They're gonna want the machine I'm on probably within about 15 minutes. So let me finish this up so they can keep. And I feel like they're like, the guy sees them coming down the line of machines. So it works both ways. Even with you. We say hello, and then we kind of give each other space, you know, we know each Other man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So, yeah, there's not a lot of chit chat with you and I in the gym. Although this guy, the sounds coming out of this guy is another thing that bothered me. He sat down on that rowing machine and he started with a. I'm like, hey, man, come on, man. This. Yeah, she's not at home.

[Pete Corielli]

I know. Yeah, well, sometimes when I'm at home. I just did this morning. I was working, I just yell out around the stamina, shell out a random, and Jackie's like. Jackie's like, what's wrong? I'm like, nothing. It just sucks. It just sucks. Doesn't it suck? Kick it. That's why Louis CK always had so much great material. He never worked out a day in his life. Just writing all morning.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Thank you bro.

[Pete Corielli]

The shows have been amazing. I know you know you're a humble guy and you don't want hear but like you're just doing so good and it's been such an incredible experience. Oh, another one I want to point out though, too, is so on. This is so funny. One day. This is for the listeners. I wasn't working out. I guess you weren't. I think it was a Sunday. But I'm going to do. Because we're in these awesome hotels with the saunas in the steam room. So I go to do the steam room and it's not working. I can't get it to work. So I go in the sauna, which I don't like as much, and I'm sitting in there, and then you've come in. I didn't know you were coming. You didn't know I was there? Fully garbed, like, you know, with a. Sweats. Sweat. I don't like that. I don't like what you did. I don't like when guys come into steam rooms and saunas with their. With their fucking sweatsuits on. Sorry, you dropping all these F bombs. Like they're trying to drop weight for a boxing match. Hood. I think you had a hood on too. No, but you had a sweatshirt, sweatpants, headphones. And I'm calling out Sebastian's name. And I know he saw enough to notice somebody else in there. I know he didn't see my face, but as I'm like, I'm going, hey, man. And then it was. I wonder how a fan would have reacted, like. But I knew right away that you heard me, but that you probably thought I was somebody who, like, you know, wanted to say I'm a fan. So I'm like, oh, he thinks it. So I go, yo. And I say. I yell like, yo, louder. And I'm like, what's he thinking now? Is he thinking, holy shit, this is a psycho fan? And then I got up and I went over. I tapped your knee, and you gave me a look like you were ready to call the fucking police. And then all of a sudden you saw it was me. You're like, bro, I thought. Not like, I know what you thought it was. Oh, my God, that was funny.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I was pissed off, right? It's just like when I go in there.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

In. In a. In a steam room or a sauna. I just like to be alone. I just. I just like to be alone. And then I saw a body in there. I didn't even clock it was you. I just saw a body. And I'm like this, like, right, right, right from the get go. I'm like, this motherfucker had to be in here today. So I sit down, right? And then I hear you chirping. I go, oh, fuck, this guy wants to talk now. This guy wants to talk to me now. And I had, I had like those noise canceling headphones on, so I thought I could get away with, oh, he's probably listening to loud music. He can't hear me. But then I hear. I keep hearing a chirping. I go, what the fuck is wrong with this psycho? Right? And then I get a tap on the knee and I like, this guy want to me.

[Pete Corielli]

And I was like, oh.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So. And then I saw. He's like, all right. So then, then you were there. You were in there, right?

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And then you went out. Were we in the sauna or we in the steam? Where were we?

[Pete Corielli]

I was in this. We were in the sauna. But then you said you were just in the steam, I think. And. And I said, oh, man. In my head I was like, oh, maybe it's fixed because it didn't work for me. So I went back in there. I couldn't get it to work. And then I came back and asked you to show me how it works. Okay, but I have a question. So you're telling me, you're telling me then if I walk into a sauna or steam at a high end hotel and I immediately see clearly it's fucking Brad Pitt or Tommy C. I can't even just go as they're walking out. I'm sorry, I just have to say, huge fan, thank you for all the stuff, man. Thank you. I can't even. Can't. Like, you think that's all it is? Like, almost. It's a little too intimate. It's a little too intimate. You can't talk to a man in a steam room or a sauna unless it's family or friend.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I agree. I've always been quiet when people engage. Jock did this the other day. Jock went in to a steam room and sat down and then was uncomfortable and like, tapped his pockets like he forgot something and walked out. He did a fake, fake tap and walked out because he didn't want to be in there with the guy. It's not anything about. It's just about. In a steam room or a sauna. There's behavior in there and it's just not sexual behavior. It's. It's the. A guy, A guy will like, take like. You had a towel on, right?

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, a lot.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sometimes guys will like put the towel on and they're just naked in there. They're scratching. I. I just don't want to hear any of that. Yeah, I don't Want to see it? I just want to be in my own thing. I want to sweat. I want to think. I want to, like, maybe meditate. If I got a guy over here grunting or, you know, laying around, I just. I don't want to see it. I'm out.

[Pete Corielli]

But I. But why is it acceptable to. I've seen it, too. To, like, what they do, folks? They open up their towel, so their ass is on the towel, but their balls and everything is hanging out. That. What. This ain't your shower, man. This is not your shower.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I don't.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, that's sexual. You should get kicked out of the fucking hotel for that. I'm sorry. I keep dropping f bombs. I'm sorry, folks. I swear to God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, well, here's something that I can't stand either. Some guys won't even put a fucking towel on. There's. They walk in naked, no towel, no nothing, bare ass on the seat, and they're just sitting there. No sandals, no nothing. I'm sorry. Get the fuck out of the damn steam room. I. This ain't. This ain't.

[Pete Corielli]

No.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I came, bro. I went the opposite way. I came in fully clothed.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah. Which.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know you have a problem.

[Pete Corielli]

You came in, like maintenance. I thought you were going to work on it. I was like, oh, there must be something wrong with this thing. Where's this toolbox? Holy. Like you just finished lunch and you sat down like Stallone after he chased the chicken with the gray sweatsuit on. Oh.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

With the pocket, by the way, Stallone. Rocky one again. And we've talked about this on the cast. The fact that Stallone had a gray sweatsuit with a homemade pocket up by his left. Pec. Which. I'm sorry. I'm surprised that clothing manufacturers haven't implemented a pec pocket for your right hand based on the Stallone.

[Pete Corielli]

Rocky. You're right. You have to wear that stinking sweatshirt.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, it brings me luck, you know?

[Pete Corielli]

You know what it brings? It brings flies. When I went in the steam room, the last place we were, it blasted so much before. You can't. Got in it before I even got in it that you can't see. Right. So do you ever do and do you feel. I feel as an obligation as a man, when you're in and it's steaming like that and someone comes in, you ever give the little. Just so they know there's another man in here in the corner. So don't. Don't. Don't wander around. Just sit on the ledge and shut up. You Know what I mean? And when I go in, I'm like, just to let anyone in there know, because it's. You can't see your hand in front of your face, man. And, you know, next thing you know, you could be. You know, with those levels, you could be staring right at a dick.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I like your move. I don't do the move. But when I enter a steam room and it is foggy and I can't see, what I do is. I. I don't even move. I, by the way, is another thing. I didn't like what you did. I. I don't even know if you noticed it. I clock. I clocked it. When you leave a steam room, bro.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You close that door right away.

[Pete Corielli]

Oh, the sauna. I didn't close it fast enough, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You were talking to me. You opened the door and you said, hey, the steam over here, the heat is escaping. I go, bro.

[Pete Corielli]

I was doing that partially out of concern for you. Remember what I said when I left? I said, sit near the red button just in case you fucking start to have a heart attack. Jesus Christ. That's how Martin Lawrence collapsed. Remember that? He was jogging in your outfit, but, yeah, okay. In and out. Duly noted. And open that. Not a casual fast.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, yeah. Even when I enter a steam room, I close that right behind me because I don't know who's in there. I don't want this thing to escape. So I close it right by. And what I do is I don't even sit down. It's almost like getting your eyes adjusted to the dark, you know, like when you walk in a dark room, you can't see anything. But then after a while, you start to see, like, shadows and whatnot. Same thing in the steam room. I sit there and I have my eyes acclimate to the surroundings, and then I'll start to look. I go, there's a white towel, someone sitting on to the right. Oh, there's a foot. It will all start to kind of. And. And what I do is another thing, because I don't want to sit down right away. I don't want to go into that smog. And then, like, see if I could find a seat. What I do if I walk in and I start seeing, like, a lot of people in there, or two people or one. I'll stand there like. Like, this is my. My routine. I stand. I stand.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And I'll stand the whole time until people start leaving. Then I'll sit down.

[Pete Corielli]

Is that. Does. Does that all fall under when we get to be 80 and everyone always seems to have this revelation at 80 that I wish I didn't care so much what other people thought. Right. And my life would have been so much freer. But I don't think it's that. Because it's not that you care what they think. It's what you think. I don't want to sit next to you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, it's not them, it's me.

[Pete Corielli]

Oh. Oh, that's great. I got to get one of those at home, man, because, you know, I would like to maybe lay down and it would probably be nice to get naked and just take it all in, but you gotta own one. Like a shower.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corielli]

I don't even get naked in the locker in a hotel, do you?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, none of that.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, I do the Lori Petty from Point Break where the towels wrapped around me and the shorts come back up over the towel under the towel and then I could take the towel because. And I think the Four Seasons guy in there who was like cleaning all the flip flops and stuff, I think he appreciates that he doesn't have to look at my penis while he's working. It's a courtesy. It's a courtesy, wouldn't you say? Guy probably didn't even have lunch yet. It was only 11:30. He's gonna have fucking Caesar salad thinking about my old dick.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, wow, bro. We didn't even, did we? Yeah, we didn't even have a podcast. We start. Yeah, we started the trip in Orlando.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And we played. We played basketball. Now, if you listen to the podcast and you're a regular here at the Pete and Sebastian show, you know that Pete played basketball in College, Division 3. And I've always questioned Pete. Pete's ability to play. And I saw it firsthand. And I have to tell you, it was a beautiful thing to see, bro. I really was impressed, really was impressed with your athleticism and your shot. You had a nice flick with fingers coming off the roof.

[Pete Corielli]

Thanks, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But the sleeper here was Pat. I don't know.

[Pete Corielli]

Unbelievable.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think Pat maybe missed his calling and could have been a point guard for the Sacramento Kings. I. Guy, I. This guy was launching him from. It didn't miss. It was like Steph Curry, he reminded.

[Pete Corielli]

Me actually more of like, who. That was a Steve Kerr who, like, you didn't know where he was when you were a Bulls fan, right? You didn't know where he was. And all of a sudden Jordan would kick it out, just ding, swish. Yeah, he went. McGann went all the way around, swished them all. Didn't even miss once, man. Just on fire. On fire.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know. Yeah, I know. So, yeah, we played. We played some basketball. And I gotta tell you, man, after. After playing basketball and I played some yesterday with my son. Yeah, we just put a. We just put a hoop in at the house here and we lowered it to about seven and a half feet so he could like heave them up nice. So I'm like seven and a half feet. You know, I used to. We used to lower the net growing up and we used to dunk.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I'm like, let me, let me, let me dunk, bro. I went up to dunk, felt like I had cement in my feet. I barely got the damn thing over the rim. And I'm thinking to myself, you gotta be shitting me when the. Did I become a guy who was unable to get off the ground. Right. Wow.

[Pete Corielli]

I also it was interesting watching, by the way. I appreciate that you get out there and you're at it and you like, let's play some hoop and stuff. But when you were shooting the three pointers, it was like. It was just like. I don't know how else to describe it. It was just like tossing a medicine ball. It was like it was getting more and more exhausting with every toss for you. And when you threw it, it was just kind of like, if it went in, it would be a fucking miracle. I don't even give a shit. So. And I was tired, too, when we were shooting those three pointers. I'm like, why am I tired from throwing a basketball? Well, when do we just slide in to. And I'm not ready yet, and I know you're not either, but when do you slide into that second half of life where you do it? Like the De Niro and Pacino and Clooney is kind of doing it now. And Garcia where like, I don't even know if Andy Garcia has running sneakers anymore, right? Just maybe a pair that you wear on a fucking sailboat. I don't think he's, like, moved faster than that, right? And it's like they just go, that's. I'm not doing any of that anymore. You know what I mean?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think the goal is to do it more often so you don't become, like stationary and stagnant, you know? Like, I'm playing with my son and I can't even hit on a seven and a half foot rim. And he even goes, daddy, you ain't hitting anything. Even my son's looking at me like, Jesus Christ.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, if Sinatra was your age, would he be shooting with his son? Or would he be sipping an espresso with a cigarette off to the side going, follow through, follow through, son. Like. Like, would he still be being active? And then you got the other side. We got Sandler, who. It's from all. From what I hear with Adam Sandler, this guy's still doing the pick and roll. He'll be doing it at the 68 years older, you know, I mean, at.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Some point I feel Sinatra was probably playing basketball with his son, but he had a beautiful slack on with some Italian loafers, cigarette hanging out of his mouth, had to put down this. The drink. He would just drain it. I. I just feel like Sinatra was just. Whatever he did, it was just cool.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you get that back? Could you go to your trainer, jock and say, I want to get more jumpy and physical and what I used to be. Or is that ship gone?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't think the ship is gone, but the ship is definitely setting sail. What I want to do is, to your point, do a lot more stretching, flexibility. I feel like with all the travel and all the different beds, you know, I just feel like my body has taken. It's just over the last 12 to 15 years that the travel has kind of beaten my body up. And I haven't done enough to combat what has happened to it. So I don't think it's gone. And yesterday with my son, I felt I played about an hour with him. I felt like I got to step it up. I got to step it up a notch. I'd like to play a little two on two.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Even when we were playing, I was playing in fear that I was going to fall. Yeah.

[Pete Corielli]

Or you're just going to move too fast one way. But the thing that's so crazy is we were all playing like that. So, like. Except jock. So like, I'm like, oh, he. He. Savannah's gonna blow by me. And then I'm like, well, he can't go. He can't go anywhere either, you know, I mean, so we're all just doing everything in slow motion.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Slow motion, bro. It was. It was all. I mean, for me, it's. It was. It was awful. It was. It was. You know what? You know what it is? And I'm making excuses. I don't have the hands for basketball. I have very small hands. And when I'm gripping a basketball to your point, it is like a big medicine ball. I feel like I have no control over it. I can't even. I feel like you have a hand that is accustomed to fitting around a ball. I don't have that hand, bro. It's. It's very small and it's just not. It's just not good.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, a neighbor of mine once said, from the time Corelli was 10 till the time he was 18, I never saw him without a basketball in his hand. And then from 18 on, I never saw him without a beer in his hand.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Hey, this bug's for you.

[Pete Corielli]

The Pete and Sebastian show.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We went out to dinner the other night, right?

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah. There's been some fun things, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, it's. It was one of. One of the best nights I've ever been a part of. It's just far as fun. And I. And we went to an Italian restaurant. We got to thank Nick over at Strega restaurant in the North End of Boston, Little Italy. And it was refreshing to be on that street because he was explaining to us that there's a mom and pop coffee house down the street that's been in the neighborhood for 100 years. They don't allow a Dunkin Donuts or a Starbucks to come in and like wipe out the family owned businesses. And that street, for me, was a representation of what America should be. Yeah, put it this way.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I ordered a hot tea. Now, this is an Italian restaurant, right? And there was a lot going on. They had singers coming in off the street singing Bocelli and the Celine Dion. And then there was a guy came out, made pasta out of a cheese wheel.

[Pete Corielli]

My God, it was awesome. It was amazing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It was a. It was an amazing night. I felt like. I felt like it was kind of Rat Packy. I felt like that would have, would have been like the scene if know the Rat Pack went out. There was just a lot going on in the restaurant. There was food kept coming to the table. It was pretty. It was a pretty cool, cool night. The window was open. People were talking through the window. It was just men.

[Pete Corielli]

Men were coming in and kissing Nick on both cheeks. And it was just. It was such an overload, in a great way of the Italian culture, that first of all, I was. I can't even say this part out loud. I'm gonna get people pissed. But I was like, I wish I was. I felt like De Niro and Goodfellas. I got the half Irish. It's fucking holding me back. I wish I was full blood Italian in that moment. And the other part of it is, I started thinking, I think if I grew up like in an apartment above one of these restaurants in the North End, I think I could go my whole life living within four blocks right here. I just. I barely leave this radius except to go to Mexico with the family once a year. You know what I mean? Go down to Miami when things get hot. But other than that, you go with Chip.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corielli]

You come with me, we'll go down. Okay. And I think when you say that's what America is to you, it should be obviously not all Italian, but like my father in law would always say, each neighborhood. And your dad knows this too, like the Irish were here, the Polish were here. So when you go in these neighborhoods, you're getting such authentic, the culture of the food and the tradition of what they do there. You know what I mean? And now it's all just one big blob of America, except for places like the North End. Which was. It was amazing. We gotta kiss more. We discussed that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Yeah. You had said during the night that the kiss on the greeting from man to man was something that you would like to incorporate into your daily life. Now, the kiss was only, I believe, on one side of the cheek. And it wasn't necessarily a kiss where there was lips on a cheek. It was almost like a. What would you say? Like a. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't like a kiss where you're kissing. Yeah. It was more of the gesture of, like, the kissing. Right. But for some reason, it worked in that environment. My question to you is, does that work only in that environment, or could you do an air kiss on Sidney Crosby when we met him at Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh. What's your take on throwing out a kiss?

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah. Well, what about after we did your New York run, which was amazing. We haven't even talked about that. All those shows you did at the Garden, which were unbelievable. So the last night you had a little party, a little get together with friends and family at the restaurant. By the time I left, having had a bunch of beers and me had a great time, and you were at the head of the table. I walked up and I didn't mean to do this. I was just saying goodbye. I gave you a kiss on the cheek, told you I loved you, and said, catch you later. Now, what? Did that make you feel anything, really? The fuck is that guy doing that with that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know what? I. The only thing I felt on that as you left, I said, jesus Christ, this guy's got a coarse beard. I had to go to the bathroom to check to see if I had scarring on. On my cheek. From your beard?

[Pete Corielli]

Oh, well, when I kissed that guy, Nick, who owns the restaurant, I said, nick, can I kiss you? He goes, only if you kiss both cheeks. He had beard, too. So we're rubbing beards. There was, like, friction. Sparks were coming off our beards. But. But it's like. But I would. I would never like, then see you two days later at the gym at the Four Seasons and hit you with another kiss. It was like a moment. I was having a great time, been working with you for years. So to do it on a daily. I don't even know, like, these guys that were kissing Nick when they come in, if they see him tomorrow getting a cannoli at the bakery, are they kissing him again or is that just Saturday night kiss?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. I think it might be an environment type of deal.

[Pete Corielli]

Where.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, it's the restaurant. Hey, how you doing? This and that. But if you're like, to your point at target, and he sees him getting toothpaste as you go up and give him a kiss on the. What's. What's. I think it's an environment thing.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah. So. So. And then the other thing is, I see you. Let's say we're living that life, right? I see you, your daughter's getting. Well, that's like an example, because everyone's going to kiss you then. But let's say I see you somewhere at a restaurant, I give you a kiss, but you're with a guy I ain't that I don't like as much, do I, to you? And I go, sub Bill. I don't hit him with a kiss at all. Mike, how you doing? So. Or you kiss the whole party. That's the other thing. I don't know what they're doing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. Like, if a Chinese guy walked in, is he getting a kiss on the cheek?

[Pete Corielli]

All right. The French do that all the time, though, don't they?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, you know what? It is an Italian thing. You can't have it cross into another ethnicity. The New England Patriots guy walked in, he didn't get no fucking kiss, right?

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, no. Well, he did. He doesn't know Nick. And I only kiss Nick because I asked Nick for a kiss, because I wanted to get the full, authentic feel. You know what I mean? But otherwise. Did you kiss? Did he kiss you?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did I get a kiss? No, I don't know if I got a kiss.

[Pete Corielli]

I got a handshake, you got security right next to you. It would have been hard to lean and get a kiss.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I. I don't know if I got a kiss. Maybe I got a kiss on the way out. I forget.

[Pete Corielli]

That was such. It's one of those nights you can't.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Even explain what else was there that happened. I don't want to get into the garden shows just yet, because I think that's more of a meal.

[Pete Corielli]

The flying has been incredible, right? These private planes. But the last flight we had, maybe it was the first time I kind of noticed it was a day flight or whatever. But what's your take on being able to see the pilot flying? Like, moving the buttons and this and that, because it made me very uncomfortable. I'd rather that doors closed because seeing how much stuff they do makes me realize there's a lot of room for error.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I agree. But put it this way, there's a little turbulence, right? So then you check up, let's say, playing jerks right? Now, if he goes up to adjust something on the ceiling or something, do you go, ho. Oh, shit, he forgot to level it off. Or do you go, oh, no. He's just making sure that the wings are still on. There's a lot of like, yeah. You're interpreting what they're doing as being, oh, something's wrong.

[Pete Corielli]

But yes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's just like, yeah. Can it be like, oh, you're in a car. You're just in the air conditioning.

[Pete Corielli]

It could. But, like, even when we hit turbulence, Jock had just gone to the restroom, and Jock sat back down next to me. And then we hit turbulence, and the pilot goes. He touches me. He goes, is that. And then he yells to the back, is that back door open? Can we close that back door? And the way he said it, I turned to Ali and I said, is that causing the turbulence? Like, I thought. I thought he was like, close the fucking door. We're going down. Like. And I'm like, how could a bathroom door affect turbulence? Right? So. But I think because we hit turbulence, he didn't want it rattling. But again, we hit the turbulence. Then he's touching a button down by his seat, and I'm like, he can't get out of this shit. He's like, hitting the emergency seat button.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Holy.

[Pete Corielli]

We're going down.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know what would really make me nervous? If he hit an emergency thing and that both pilots popped up with parachutes, and we're still in the. Oh.

[Pete Corielli]

Your friend John there, he could probably land the plane.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying.

[Pete Corielli]

He's amazing. This guy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

John could do a lot of things. John is a guy, when shit hits the fan, you turn to and you go, do you know how to do this? And he goes, I'll figure it out. That's John. Yeah.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, I can see that. I could see that. Like, just keep it level. Let me read the manual. Give me five minutes, and then we'll find this strip of lamb. We'll get this bitch down. Oh, yeah. So that. And then you notice when you can see what the pilots see, it's not this. It's. It's almost like the way my dog walks with its ass out like this. It's like, planes don't fly as straight as you think they do. Sometimes they're kind of going like that. Like that. I'm like, we're a rag doll up here. This whole thing is one big rag doll blowing in the goddamn window.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, you know what's nice about it is you could go. You could go up to the cockpit and just ask questions. Because I asked. You know, everybody talks about these chem trails, you know, like when you see these planes and you. So I don't know if you noticed, I was looking outside, I was like, wow, there's a lot of these trails. So I go up to the guy, I go, what's this? I go, are we giving that out in the back of our plane, the smoke? He goes, what that is is condensation. So once the heat hits the condensation in the air, you get that trail behind you. So I didn't even mention chemtrails. I just wanted to see what he said. So basically, it's like. It's science. So that's just depending on where you are in the atmosphere and the moisture. It's just the heat hitting the moisture. That's what you get. All these years, I'd be in my.

[Pete Corielli]

Backyard, I see that going above. Fucking ruining this. Ruining the Earth. Ruining the Earth every flight.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, shit. So, yeah, that. That. It's not. It's a nice. Yeah, every once in a while, I'll go up there. It's nice when you. When you're flying. And you could just have a direct line to the pilots, because when you're flying commercial, I mean, it's not like you can knock on the door and go, hey, guys, what the fuck was that with the, you know, like here, you could just go up and go, what did we hit? Did we hit, like, what's out there? You know?

[Pete Corielli]

Right. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, on the flip side, what would they be like if we were going down, would they go, shut the fuck up, Sebastian. I can't talk to you right now. And would you go, jesus Christ. Like, I don't know what that would be. Or would that still just be a. Yeah, no, we're going to be like, do they still talk nice to you right until you hit the ground? Like, we're going to be fun. Boom. When does the real you come out as the pilot? You know, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's a good. That's a good question. Do. Does, like, if it's going bad down there and I went up there, would they turn around and go, go sit down. Go get the. In your seat. You're like, oh. Or if I came up there and go, hey, was that an air pocket? Are they going to go, yeah, what happens is if we're 41,000ft and then we go down to 40 and generally hit air pocket, or do they just Go. Listen, bro, call your family. Call your fucking family.

[Pete Corielli]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, bro. I believe that, right? Like, oh, they're gonna go. Now some lighting hit the wing. We're probably gonna go down, but just buckle in, it'll be okay. You know, I don't think they got so.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But it's been unbelievable, man, you know? You know, one more thing about the flight. I don't like the pilot with the jokes, and generally speaking, you don't get it, but I caught it and I don't know. Oh, you weren't even on the flight. One pilot said, there's a water vest, a life preserver underneath your seat. But if we hit water, then I'm not really doing a good job because there's no water that we're flying over, meaning we would have to veer way off path in order for us to say, guy, just don't even give me that. Like, don't even put that in my head. I don't. Because I don't know, like, what. What do you. What do you want some medication? Where all of a sudden, you know, we're going to la, and then you want to go down to Mexico? What the. Just. Just give me the briefing and get the seat.

[Pete Corielli]

Well, I. I don't know, though. I take that as his way of saying, I gotta tell you about that, but don't even worry about it. We're not going to be over water.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's.

[Pete Corielli]

That's. I don't know. That's kind of. I don't like. I'll tell you what I don't like that these pilots are doing, though. They're loading the luggage they're bringing us or opening up the fridge, asking me if I want food. I don't think that what they do is getting the proper respect that it deserves. And I'm sorry if that means there's got to be more money. Like, we don't need a flight attendant. We know what a fridge is. A pilot's only job should be to the plane. Like, I feel like when he's taking my bag, I'm being so nice to him because I can't go to that part of the plane anyway. I'm not allowed in the back by the wing. I'm always like, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And that's. I'm trying to say to him, I know this isn't part of what you do. So I don't. I don't like them to have to do that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I mean, it is part of their job. To, like load the bags in the plane. That's.

[Pete Corielli]

I feel like that shouldn't be the job of a pilot. A pilot flies a plane, someone else loads the plane.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. There is a guy that takes the bags and helps them. But as far as like situating the bags in the cargo area, that's solely the responsibility of the pilot. Wait, maybe, I don't know. But it's just. They're back there. But you're right. Like when the guy, when the guy. Can I get you a glass of water? I'm like, guy, come on, you're. You're flying an aircraft there. I got the water. I got it.

[Pete Corielli]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's. Yeah. I just got a lot of respect for what they do, man, that's all. I know you do too. I know you do too.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

[Pete Corielli]

The show has ended. The four seasons guy in there who was like cleaning all the flip flops and stuff, I think he appreciates that he doesn't have to look at my penis while he's working. It's a courtesy. It's a courtesy, wouldn't you say? I probably didn't even have lunch yet. It was only 11:30. He's going to fucking Caesar salad. Thinking about my old Dick.
