Pete Sebastian showed well back Pizza bastard show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We're back. We're amped, we're ready. It's all happening here. It's. It's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. I'm coming off a rage. Oh, here's something.
Pete Corielli
What does that mean.
Sebastian Maniscalco
After the last cast? There's places I want to go in that cast that are hysterically funny but again, too much to lose. Hey, I know.
Pete Corielli
Hey. Yeah, well, it's the fun stuff that we bullshit with each other with, have fun, laugh about.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's a. It's a lot of, you know. Yeah. For example, we had. And I don't know if you saw this post? A couple weeks ago, I posted Pete during a ride from. I believe it was Portland to Seattle, or Seattle to Portland, I think it was. You whipped out a family size bag of popcorn.
Pete Corielli
Yeah. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
On the ride, which I've never seen before, normally you take out a snack pack, kind of get your. Kind of wet your beak a little bit. But you always make.
Pete Corielli
You always make fun when we're on the road of my snacks. You go, well, you got your snack. And then you always go, give me some. Every time I went to popcorn, I knew it. What?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I had a little. I had a little four or five kernels I had of your popcorn.
Pete Corielli
No, that's true. But I felt like you would have had more if you didn't make fun of it, that you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, I. Listen, I love popcorn, but I. I would have. I would have definitely got in trouble if I. I would have started eating. My God, I love popcorn. But you had it. You had a napkin deal that you put. You put the popcorn on your lap.
Pete Corielli
Where did you move? Well, I only did that because I felt like we also had. Allie was in the back of the car and I asked if she wanted some, and she did. I gave her a hand dump. I gave you a little hand dump. What is that called? Pop. What kind of Skinny Pop? Skinny Pop shit is very addictive, man. So I'm like, they're gonna want more. If I start digging in with my hand, they're not gonna have more. So let me just pour on my lap with a napkin. So I was trying to keep it in play for you guys, but then after a while, nobody asked anymore, so I just started reaching in. But I felt like I could, like. I don't know how Lana does it, because I felt like every time I reached in, I'm like, oh, the. The bag is driving him so crazy. He probably wants to pull up, pull over to the shoulder and have me finish the Skinny Pop before we go any further. So I'm trying to reach in, like, real quiet.
Sebastian Maniscalco
There is something I want to address. I want to get the listener's take on this. You pulled this move when we were at the bar drinking, and I think it was at the bar drinking, you. If you blew your nose in the napkin or you did something with your nose and the napkin they give you for the drink, right? Am I right?
Pete Corielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You took a cocktail, you blew your nose, right? Then you put the cocktail napkin after the blow on the table.
Pete Corielli
On the table. Did I really? You sure? I didn't Put it on. I think I put it on my dish. On my finished dish of whatever I had.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't give a shit. It shouldn't be after you blow your nose, right? Patrick, come on. If you blow your nose.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And then you put it on a plate and. Or the table, right? Yeah, but that should hit. That should, like, go away. Because I'm looking at a snot rag. I'm looking at a snot rag right in front of you.
Pete Corielli
All right, I'm sending this to Patrick right now. Yeah. First of all, you're like a detective. All right, Patrick, tell me what you think of this. When you get that, let me know. We just need to be. We don't need the whole thing, but nevertheless. First of all, we're already in Canada. They got different temperatures than we used to. I had a little bit of a runny nose. There's nothing grosser to me than sniffing. Right? So I stepped back. I remember what I did. I went like that, wrapped it up, put it on my dish. Within seconds, the waitress came and took it away. It was all gone. What do you want me put in my napkin? If I did that, we'd be doing this cast. And you go. You put it in your pocket. Yeah. So. So as the only thing. Get up and go throw it out. Seriously, Is that what you're telling someone to do in that situation?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I wouldn't have said anything about a pocket. I'm dying to see. I'm dying to see what you said. You sign over. Okay, okay, okay. See, I. I could admit that this is wrong.
Pete Corielli
Well, it is your tour. But nevertheless, I felt like you would have done this if we were just on our way to a ball game or something.
Sebastian Maniscalco
There we go. Go ahead, take on this.
Pete Corielli
While we do a video of what people are doing. Taking the shoes off and going, just a sock in the car. Is that acceptable? I mean, you wouldn't do it on a Delta flight. I. I don't know why you're allowed to do it in the car.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know what? My foot's swollen because of the popcorn I just ate.
Pete Corielli
It also is his tour, so it would be a little more weird if I took my shoe off.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You're right. See? Okay, I gave. I said this is unacceptable with the shoe off. Right, Right. You're trying to defend a snot rag on a table at a Four Seasons hotel. I don't know.
Pete Corielli
You're saying it's unacceptable, but you're not even trying to do anything about it. You're still just hanging Out. Just to say it's unacceptable is not my thing. At least was going to end momentarily when it was taken away on a dish. Overall, you have a problem with anyone blowing their nose to you, you may as well be taking a dump right there. You find that to be very.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think I do have a problem with that. I think I do.
Pete Corielli
You do. We had one cast where we had a fascinating conversation about if you're performing and you have a runny nose, do you stop? I turn around, blow my nose, and you go, oh, my God. And then you had said you'll do a light sniff, so no one knows you're sniffing for the whole show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Could you imagine you went to a concert and you're listening to Frank Sinatra, and he turns away to blow his nose. I'd leave. That ruins it for me. Done. That's like blowing your nose in the middle of a performance. It's like Superman taking off his cape. It's like, oh, this guy's like us. He sneezes, too. You gotta make it look like you don't have any problems up there. Dead. The end is near and so I face the final curtain, my friend I'll.
Pete Corielli
Make it clear I guess so. I mean, back in the 70s, I'd see a man sneeze and pull out his handkerchief, sneeze into it, and then put it in his back pocket. And I just thought, that's cool. But now we're just so about germs that, like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Not even germs, bro. I'm talking. I'm talking. During a performance, if you blew your nose.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, no, but, like, what do you do if you got a runny nose?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like what?
Pete Corielli
Do you ever have a show where you feel like you might have something there and you're not sure?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I make a joke about it. I go, just, guys, if something comes out of my nose, just let me know. You know, it's just. It's just kind of in. In.
Pete Corielli
Okay. After three coins in a fountain, if Sinatra said, guys, if something comes out of my nose, let me know. Are you not also leaving?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, no. It's. It's within the act, and it's comedy. I feel like a blow of the nose is just. It disrupts the whole set here.
Pete Corielli
I got. I'm not denying that. I'm not denying that, but I just don't know what.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I had another one.
Pete Corielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
My shoe was untied.
Pete Corielli
Oh, that was funny. That was funny. I was there when you did that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corielli
That was really funny.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Do you tie your shoe during A set or do you leave it? What do you, what do you do?
Pete Corielli
I would probably, if it was, if it was pretty early on, I would definitely go, hold on, I'd bend over and I say, I know, because I don't want to step on your bit about what you did there, but I'd say something. Put the mic down, try to say something funny. Put the mic down, fix it, grab the mic again, say something else funny about it, pop back up. And I feel like you're getting a better show now because I'm not half thinking about my shoelace the whole time.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corielli
You did a funny business right at the end, which was very funny.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I'm not going to do the bit, but I'm going to do something else. All right. This is the way I feel about the microphone on stage. If I let go of the microphone on stage, I think that is equivalent to a soldier putting down his rifle in the heat of battle. Right. Like he puts down his rifle, he might get shot. Something might happen that he don't want to happen if the rifle is out of his hand. If I put the microphone, I feel naked. I feel like I'm subject to anything. I feel like I'm subject to possibly somebody running up on stage because the microphone is no longer in my hand.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah. Well, that's, that's, that's fascinating. And that's a good way to think, I would imagine, as a performer. However, the irony of it is you've had moments on stage where you'll do act something out for 10 seconds where there's no talking. Right. Even though the mic's still in your hand. So it's not like you're one of these guys that talks a mile a minute. So no one could possibly get a word in. And I gotta say, when I see a soldier in an old movie and he's leaning up against the hill and he takes his rifle off and puts it next to him for a second to pull out tape, take himself up. I'm like, oh, wow, this guy's so confident, he's putting a gun down next to him. Because if a came over the hill, he'd stab that with a bayonet anywhere. With a sniper, like, I just feel it's even more soldier esque.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Nah, he's putting down the gun to do something else. I feel like you put down the gun and you take out like a little sip of whiskey out of the canteen. Yeah, you still got something in your hand. I feel like if you look, if you go and tie your Shoe. I don't know. I just feel like. I just feel like that's a big, big gap that I don't need in the show. I let the shoelace go. Now, this is what I did with Masterclass while I was on the road. Since I have a lot of time on the road, I feel like when I come back and insert myself into daily life here at the house, I gotta bring some knowledge back. So what I did is I took the master class and I learned how to make pizza, fried chicken wings and Nancy Silverton's grilled cheese. Right? Now, I looked at these recipes while I was on the road and I didn't have any food to make them. But what I did is I just watched the class and came back with the knowledge I had from the class and made the products for my family. And I got to tell you people, not only with the cooking, but with the sports. There's a CIA one in there about interrogation that I found some great tips. There's one on there with Gordon Ramsay, one on there with Wolfgang Puck. There is one on there with Martin Scorsese, which I watched before I worked with Martin Scorsese. Masterclass is the only streaming platform where you can low learn and grow with over 200 of the world's bests for two. For 10 bucks a month, people. Come on, 10 bucks a month.

Pete Corielli
Now, when you did a bit about it, what your shoelace being undone, something you said was that you can't do it. You go, I can't fix it because I only have. I need two hands to fix my shoelace. And I got the mic and it made me wonder, have you ever. I know it's hard with a round, but, man, you're not doing a theater with a round. Have you ever thought about, like, I see sometimes a comical keep the mic in a mic stand and just kind of grab the whole neck of it and do this and that. But then when he's got a bigger bit, it's right there and he's going, there's something to that. Sometimes I wonder about, would it be fun to just use the mic stand more?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Nah. Mic stand is. If you're just going to sit there and tell jokes into a microphone. I don't think you use the mic stand to walk around. There's no way. There's no way. I mean, you could go back, put the microphone in the stand and do something elaborate and take it back out of the stand. You could do that, but I don't know. I never liked the mic stand. It was in the way to me.
Pete Corielli
I felt like that too. I felt like. But it's. Put it over there and let's start the show. And then when you see me start to bring it back up front, show's coming to an end. I'm docking it, I'm docking it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, here's a good little tidbit for young comedians, which I've learned early on. When you go out on stage and you grab the mic out of the stand, you have to take the stand and set it back at least, I don't know, six to seven feet. Absolutely and then come back up. I see a lot of young comedians will take it out of the stand and they'll leave the microphone stand there and they'll walk, you know, in back of the stand and the stand is in the way. You got it. You got to remove that stand, put it in the back.
Pete Corielli
Well, I hear you and that's what I do. And I feel that way too, but you know, it's. And then you got the idea. Bill Burr doing the iconic. Oh, using it for an elbow.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, he uses it. He uses it. Yeah. I'm saying, like it's a prop for him. He uses it to lean on sometimes. He might slap it back in there. But what I'm saying is, if you're not using the mic stand, you got to get it out of the way. I'm not using the mic stand ever. Ever. Even when I put the microphone back in the stand at the end of the show and I'm talking into it, I don't even feel. I don't even feel right doing that.
Pete Corielli
Really? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, like when you do a side thing like that with it. Oh, shit. This just came out. There we go. It's in now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Loud and clear.
Pete Corielli
Yeah. What's up? You know, I mean, I was waiting.
Sebastian Maniscalco
For you to react to the silence. See, you got nervous. I got silent.
Pete Corielli
I didn't get. I have to. This isn't a plug. I don't get this. I have to just say it. For men going through a moment and I'm gonna forget if I don't. And I've talked about this before. Can you see that? It's a large bottle.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is that the Moroccan oil?
Pete Corielli
It's the Moroccan oil. Okay, guys, you know, I know they got these products out there that are made in factories for your hair, but you put this in your hair and put more in it than it tells you to put in it, wet or dry. You get it in there good. And then. I stole this from you, bro. I still do it. You're going to have left on your hands. Rub it on your body. It keeps you younger. I do that move and then just give it a little blow out. Little maybe three minutes with a hair dryer. Change your life. Telling you, man. And that's. I don't get. I don't even know what a Moroccan oil people, but that shit is like, men got to know about this.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So do you not use any gel or paste in your hair? You just know oil and a blowout.
Pete Corielli
I just use the oil and I Jude Law to shit where, like, I'll go five, six days, just putting Moroccan oil on Moroccan oil, on Moroccan oil. And then on day six, I'll do a wash out, you know, but yeah, man, so that's just a little for the listeners, little side thing there. And don't, don't shy away from those Crest whitening strips. Don't shy away from those, too. Those things will tighten you right up.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm going to get a cleaning today, actually. Right, bro?
Pete Corielli
I just made an appointment for cleaning. And. And she goes, we can't get you until January 21st. And then she goes, is that okay? And I go, well, what else would I do? Okay, then I'll put you down. What, what is this? Is this starting with getting Canadian care now? I heard about this in Canada. Is that what's going on?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, it's funny you say that. I. I was trying to schedule an appointment for an optometrist for my eyes.
Pete Corielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
March20,25.
Pete Corielli
What. What the fuck? So are you looking at like 20 eyeballs a day? And I feel exhausted and going home and going to bed. Like, I bet there's a lot of gaps where they could check out your eyes. You know what I'm saying?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Another six months, I could go. I could go blind in another six months. I mean, come on, man. You can't. You can't. You know, I can't see for another six months because it's like, is it. Is it the work ethic that I, like I keep hearing the, oh, we're gonna put the work. The work week to four days a week. What could you get done in four days? How? Sleep over here.
Pete Corielli
I know. Well, man, you working out like you're in the army before we do the cast. You're working out before the sun's up. My doctor's now. I went to call and make an appointment. Jackie goes, oh, not now. They're on lunch. I'm like, what, the whole doctor's office goes to lunch? Am I living in Sorrento? What the fuck, bro? Lunch? I mean, this is like, that's it. That's Italy and Spain shit right there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I've seen this. I've seen this here in the States as well. Where do you ever. You ever go to a business and it's got the clock, we'll be back in an hour and it let you know what time they're all coming back. Can't we stagger the lunch?
Pete Corielli
That's it. I had friends. I could never eat with them that I worked with at the hotel. Because one of us had to stay at the front desk while the other one went to eat their blimpy fucking sandwich. And then you went, yeah, it's like a tag team.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's like a relay race. You got the baton. Now, can you imagine if the fire station all went on break at the same time?
Pete Corielli
Oh, God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
By the way, by the way, I think every, every place should operate like a fire station, right? This, this is, this is mine.
Pete Corielli
Good bit. It's a good bit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You could be in the middle of eating a sandwich, right? And the bell goes off. You, you leave that sandwich, you go put the fire out, you come back and your sandwich is still there.
Pete Corielli
Right? Right, Exactly. And they're providing a service where they'll risk their life for you. I want that kind of dedication in every employee that I am 100% committed to helping you. And no one's more committed than the firemen and the cops.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I agree. And I just feel like work has gotten so casual. Where. And I think I mentioned this to you on the tour. I ordered room service breakfast. Guy came up to give it to me and he smelled like an ashtray, right? So now I'm eating eggs with the smell of a marble red in the room. Now, if you want to smoke on your break, do me a favor. Clock out, go home, Work day is done. You don't go smoke at the shed and then come up to the room and deliver eggs with you still in a mistake. So I'm sorry.
Pete Corielli
No, I hear you, man. I hear you that you should have to wear a smoking jacket and gloves, then wash and spray because you carry that shit in, especially in cold weather.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Pete Corielli
No, there is a. You know, there was something I wanted to bring up service wise, that's alluding me right now. But yeah, man, it is what it is, bro. It's a much more casual thing right now, you know what I'm saying? I feel, I don't want to bring up, you know, how everything now has tipping, right? When you pay. You know what I'm not liking is they're doing the transaction, then they're providing me the service. And I feel like they're doing that because they're seeing if I tip. And I feel like I'm catching codes with the register and the person making my shit like I won't tip. And then they'll turn around and go order 170 up. And that's what, that's their way of saying he didn't tip, you know, on the guard. So, like, give him Less meatballs. You know, I'm not saying they're vandalizing my shit, but, you know, don't. Don't put extra fries in. Don't fill the fucking. Like, I'm noticing, too, my coffee now, lately, I'm getting like, that much less, and I've had to come back up and I'm like, can you tap, can you tap, tap it off, man. Finish it up. Canada does that. I don't know what the fuck's going over there. When you buy coffee, they leave, like, that much room. I mean, this is America. We go to a rim, I'll dump the extra into garbage. Okay? That's how we roll.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know what? I got to tell you, I'm a little bothered that you're checking the level of your coffee, bro.
Pete Corielli
I'm telling you, I grab it. I'm like, why is this light? Not. No, it's not cheap. It's a man wanting a full cup of coffee. Says the guy. I'm sorry. I was a little blown away when we were at the fish market in Seattle and you granted, you bought quite a bunch of fish. It was very fun. Cool. I was just surprised to see you pack it and carry it out instead of like, they ship it. So.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so, yo, listen. They shipped it. Listen, listen. Got an answer for that. I was leaving that night and we were there around whatever, 10, 11 o'clock. If they shipped it, it was going to get there within 48 hours. I needed the fish there because I was going to cook it the next day. And if I let it go a day in a box, the freshness I was going to lose. That's why I took it to go. If it was anything other, I would. I would have shipped it.
Pete Corielli
Okay, that's fair. Fish. That's fair. That's fair.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The argument doesn't hold any weight.
Pete Corielli
Well, no. All right. There was a little deflecting there. And I'll just go back to my coffee.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think you were like, you. You got, like, a little nervous with the coffee thing.
Pete Corielli
I just don't like the cheap aspect of it, bro. I feel like it's beyond cheap. I want.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Guy, can you give me a little squirt more? No, I'm going to fucking drop my nuts in your coffee.
Pete Corielli
The Pete and Sebastian Show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Thanks to Prolon for sponsoring this episode. Now, these days, a lot of people are learning all about the benefits of fasting, like weight loss, mental and physical performance, and gut health. But worry about the whole not eating part. Well, that's exactly why Prolon was created introducing Prolon, a revolutionary plant based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting. Researched and developed for decades at the University of Southern California Longevity Institute and backed by leading US medical centers, Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, support cardiovascular and reduce abdominal fat. Prolon really isn't like any other diet I've ever tried. Now Lana and I have both gone on the Prolon. I believe it's a five day fast. How you feel coming out of this is amazing. The third day you feel a euphoria that comes over you that it cannot be equaled. And what I like about it also, after the five days, you don't want to put any more garbage back into your system. It kind of wipes the the slate clean and you start eating clean from there on in. So I highly recommend it. And right now Prolon is offering the Pete and Sebastian show listeners and this is a great deal. 15% off their five day nutrition program. Got to go to prolon.life.com Pete I don't know why they use Pete's name in there and not Pete and Sebastian. Probably because Pete's name is shorter and he's probably a bigger draw. That's pron p r o l o n life.com Pete for this special offer. That's prolon. Life.com Pete wow bro.
Pete Corielli
I'm trying Prolon. That was a hell of a read. Damn.

Pete Corielli
My old man told me a great story that I'll never forget. And I. And I love it. His boss, when my dad used to be an architect, I, Vollmer Associates. Old time guy. Volma, rich guy, lived in New York City, you know, owned the whole company. My father goes, I was out to dinner with him once, you know, it was like mid-70s, fancy hotel lobby. And they bring him a drink. He like, he gets like a scotch on the rocks. And it's a fancy place. And my father goes, they fill the glass halfway. And he looks at the waitresses, he goes, excuse me, honey. And he slides it back over with his two fingers. He goes, I'm a big boy. I take a full glass. Yeah. And it had nothing to do with price. It's just like, I don't need the fancy bullshit. And the same thing with me, guy. I don't want to be halfway to my destination up in the sky. And now all I need is about, you know, five or six more nice big gulps to get me through. And I don't got those gulps because they went light at the airport. Because I don't do coffee on an airplane. Shit's got E. Coli in it. So it does. I've been reading enough about that shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So.
Pete Corielli
So, you know, it's, it's. And you know, I just don't like that. It's, it's like bull. So I'll just go, excuse me, I don't need any cream. So if you could cap it off, I'd appreciate it. And they always go, oh yeah, sure. Because I feel like they know they came in late. They know they came in late.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Hi. Just these little idiosyncrasies sometimes, you know, that we all have, whether it be your, you know, the coffees, like, I see that with wine. You know, I like to drink wine. And then when I'm out and I look at the poor, sometimes the poor is. Is light, right? It's a light pour. Yeah, But I go, all right, I lost this time.
Pete Corielli
What do I gotta do to get a big boy pour like that? I feel like if there's enough people. If there's just enough people saying, enough with the coffee. Fill it all the way up. Not everybody, but just two or three a day for a week, they're gonna go, just start filling them all the way up. These people are paying. And the same thing with a wine. So I'm a Robin Hood, you know, I'm fighting for the foot, for the lessers. I'm Robin Hood. That's all I'm doing. I'm sticking up for everybody. So next time they do that, tell them guy, what are we doing here? I'm not driving. Fill the fucking glass up.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It sets a tone when you do this. Coffee's different. But when somebody's waiting on you and they keep coming back because I've been on the other side.
Pete Corielli
Oh, God. I know. You're like. You're like Biden talking about Scranton. We all know that you were on the other side at the Four Seasons. Holy shit. Oh, my God. No, no, no.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Because if somebody told me, right? If somebody told me and I was waiting on him, hey, you little light on the poor, you ain't gonna see me again at the table. You know what I'm saying? Like your table. Now, if I got seven tables, I'm taking you now. You're at the bottom of the list. So when you. When you go, excuse me, I don't see you. I don't see that hand go up.
Pete Corielli
I. You know what? I feel like you're saying that now as a. As more of a successful adult instead of a hungry, young wa. That you are, because I feel like back then you would have saw that a little bit. Like, he wants a full big boy cup because he's probably going to give me a big boy tip. So I'll let the alpha male have his moment, because you don't. Chances are you don't come in hot and heavy like this. And then tip light. That's like, weak.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, no, no. That's. You get. Somebody says, I need a big boy pour. You're getting 10%, 15% tops. That ain't a tipper. Big boy poor ain't a tipper. I.
Pete Corielli
My dad's boss, Volma, tipped big. So that's why I thought, like, that's a cool move. I'm big, you know, I'm a big boy. Give me a big glass. And then you leave a big fat tip. And they. And they realize, well, listen, when you're.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Drinking wine, they're not supposed to fill it up. We know this. We've gone over this. They're not supposed to. You're supposed to give a pour. But, like, sometimes they stop a little shy of where they maybe should. And then I go, okay, I'm not going to complain here, because the last time I went out, the guy filled it up too much, right? So it's like it all kind of evens out. I had a couple more sips last week on that guy, and now I got less sips. So at the end of the day, it all evens out, right? We don't. We don't got to be, like, nitpicking. Could you fill it here, could you fill it there?
Pete Corielli
Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's the way I look at it.
Pete Corielli
Well, that's the beauty of coffee. There is none of that. It has a rim. Go to that. So what would you say, by standard, in a wine glass, no matter the size of wine glass, about half full or one third full?
Sebastian Maniscalco
One third.
Pete Corielli
One third. That's a lot of glass.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, that's what the glass is made for, bro. It's not made. It's. It's not beer. It's not. You don't fill it up to the. To the rim. The shit's got to breathe. You got to put your nose in it. You got to get the bouquet of the thing. If you fill it up all the way, your nose is hitting the freaking liquid.
Pete Corielli
That's. In theory. I've hung out with you at these hotel bars, and unless I haven't noticed, are you. Are you sniffing the wine when you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When you go in your nose? Oh.
Pete Corielli
Oh. On every sip, you're.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it's in there.
Pete Corielli
Oh, I didn't know that. So, like, when you sip your wine, should you also be breathing out of your nose at the same time? Like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, it's not like you're making. You're not making an effort to sniff. It's just kind of there. It's like when you smell something, right? Like, let's say. Let's say Patrick lit it up in here, right?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm not going. It will come by and I'll. And I'll just. You smell without smelling. You know what I'm saying?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear what you're Saying so it's kind of like just because it's up there, you'd smell it. So now do you find. I have another question about that. You know how we get hairs on our nose? Okay. Like, some people use clippers sometimes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What?
Pete Corielli
I'll. I'll pluck them. I try to do it in a hotel. If it's been a night, I've been drinking. I time it then because I'll be like, ah, my nose won't hurt as much.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wait, hold on, hold on, wait, hold on.
Pete Corielli
I did it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You're using alcohol as a. As a numbing?
Pete Corielli
Yes. Like, I was telling Ally, I was telling Lindsay and John that, you know, after I. What'd you do when you go back to your hotel room? I go, I. I plucked my hands because I made a note to myself, hey, next time you have a few beers and you get back to the hotel room, you should pluck then, because it won't hurt as much. And it did. And I was like, I got in there by morning. I got a better night's sleep because I just had so much carbon monoxide coming at me, man. Or whatever it is. H2O oxygen. But my question is, first of all, have you ever done the wax? I've seen the video where they literally stick shit up your nostrils, rip it out.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I've done that. Is it good for you?
Pete Corielli
It's not. Well.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And if I'm not mistaken, hair, what it's supposed to do, the reason they got hair in your nose is so it catches bacteria and you don't get sick. Or it's basically for immunity purposes. That's why you have it there.
Pete Corielli
But sometimes, do you feel it gets too thick, like. And when you pluck them, I feel like I'm smelling better.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, not necessarily. Generally speaking, near the tip of my nose, I get some stalactites that start coming down, which need to be removed. But I'm. But the entire. But the entire nose. I don't know. I've done that a couple of times. And, yeah, it feels a. Feels like a little naked, but you.
Pete Corielli
Don'T feel like you're getting more air and a run. If you're running, like, wow. Yeah. So it's like a filter. All right, I respect that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like a filter. Yeah, exactly. It's like a filter. God. But your. Your room with the snot rags, and now you're telling me there's nose hair all over the sink. The fucking maid must be going, the hell was living in here for three days.
Pete Corielli
I rinse it all Out. You don't know any of this is going on, but I'm not gonna do that now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, no. You stole my towel. You still. You stole my towel technique at the end of the visit. Towels in the tub.
Pete Corielli
Oh, I did. Dude, that's beautiful for all the listeners out there. I used to fold up my towels and, like, put them on the floor, and the carpet gets a little damp. Much easier. Great move. Sebastian's telling me did it. Now I do it. Just take all the towels from right in the tub. So nice for the housekeeper to come and just scoop them all out, hunt around, you know?
Sebastian Maniscalco
So I, I, I like to leave the room. So when the housekeeper comes in after I check out, she looks around and goes, oh, this is gonna be a cinch.
Pete Corielli
I know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know, I don't want to come in and. And there's ashes on the table or there's Pepto Bismol fucking spilled on the table, you know? You ever see some of these, I hate to tell you, death hotel rooms.
Pete Corielli
What do you mean by.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When somebody dies in a hotel room, whether it be a celebrity or whatnot, they take the pictures of the hotel room and it looks like somebody died in there. They never take pictures at a hotel room and it's clean, you know?
Pete Corielli
Yeah, no. Oh, Oh, I know what you mean. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
There's paraphernalia right all over the room.
Pete Corielli
It's like, if the person didn't die, wouldn't they have $150,000 tab for the damage done? Like, these rooms? And like, I've been in my room where I got a phone call, and they go, I'm sorry. The people in the hall in the other rooms near you think your TV's a little loud. And I'm like, oh, I have the game on Monday Night Football. I'm sorry. I'll lower it. I see these rooms, they are crystal met, broken mirrors and shit everywhere, and nobody is going, yeah, I think there's a war going on in the room next to me. I know what you're saying.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, it's on the bedside table. They got like. It's just like, liquid, like body cream or just. It's just like. I don't know. There's nothing in. Like, if you came in to clean my room and looked around, you'd have to ask yourself, did they check out already? That's how clean my room is. Yeah, there's no. You don't see anything that might even resemble that somebody's checked into the room other than the fact that the bed is Unmade.
Pete Corielli
Nah, I know not. You're the kind of person, when they do your room, they start to rethink. Like, before your room, they were like, what am I doing? I got it. I know the money's good in them in the union, but I don't want to be doing this. And then they walk into your room and they go, go. If they were all like this, I'm done by 3 in the afternoon. Two days off, we get to stay at any one of the hotels for free in the whole country. Like, you know, because we're not animals, man. I've even handcuffed, like, Seinfeld's old bit in the shower and rinsed the hairs off the wall because I don't want the housekeeper to come in and have to rinse my hair. My body hair that, like, one should have to. Some people don't flush as a joke. They'll do that or something or they forget. Oh, I've seen that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, sorry. That's.
Pete Corielli
I've almost, like. Because, like, I'll go to the bathroom and then I'll hop in the shower. And then one time I hopped in the shower, I was all ready to leave and I went to brush my teeth, and I looked over, I'm like, oh, my God, I forgot to flush before I hopped in the shower and I almost checked out like that. Ooh, I feel like. I feel like they. That's like smoking in the room. You get charged 200 if you take a dump and don't flush.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Here's another one. Here's another tip. This is for the men out there. So when you shave, right, in a sink, you know, you get rid of the hair that you see. Right. And then at the end, there's hair clippings of your beard that are still in the sink. Right, of course.
Pete Corielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You clean that out. You don't leave that for the maid to clean. You don't. Right. Do you do a rinse job on that?
Pete Corielli
Oh, yeah. I don't even want to look at that when I'm there, but absolutely, yeah. I keep it tight.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Sometimes the water collects in the sink and then. And then you're done shaving. Right. And then the water drains, and by the time you go back to the sink, there's that hair still there. You gotta rinse that out. You don't leave that as a sample for the maid to come in and clean your beard hair?
Pete Corielli
No, of course not. It's. It's. You don't want to be. That's disrespectful. To another human being. I take it to a level. I'm gonna blow your mind right now. I've had nights where I come back to the hotel room and I'll get at it a little bit with the skinny pop. And in the morning, the carpet is not where it should be. I have gotten down, taken a full bath towel, gotten down on the floor. We've gotten on all fours on the bath towel and done a hand pick on my kernels out of the carpet. I know the housekeeper's still going to vacuum, but they just don't want to walk into this like, you know, you ever check, you know, you're on an airplane and there's a kid in the row and you look. It looks like it just absolute mess down there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corielli
So. And again, and it's just being respectful to I feel of another human being.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I love that move. I love a. I love a colonel pick off the. Off the carpet. You don't see that quite often. All right, listen, that's. That's our time here. Pete and Sebastian show. We're knocking shows out left and right, bro. Yeah, we got another one on the slate today. Yeah, I don't know when this airs, but SebastianLive.com for show tickets, book It Ain't Right tour.
Pete Corielli
Yeah, sorry. I'm having fun on the Right tour. A lot of fun.
Sebastian Maniscalco

Bookie is coming out December. I can't give you the date just yet. Hasn't been officially announced, but the. In about a month and a half.

Sebastian Maniscalco
Pete and Sebastian.
Pete Corielli
The show has ended.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So at the end of the day, it all evens out, right? We don't gotta be like nitpicking. Could you fill it here, could you fill it there? That's the way I look at it.
Pete Corielli
Well, that's the beauty of coffee. There is none of that. It has a rim. Go to that. Thanks to Prolong for sponsoring this episode. Right. These days a lot of people are learning about all the Bennett's of fasting. Like weight loss, mental and physical performance, and gut health. But worry about the whole not eating part. Well, that's exactly why Prologue.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Let me just tell you something. Let me, let me interrupt you, Pete. I mean, you are seeing right now live what not doing Prolon does to you. You can't organize your thoughts, you can't read. You can't get through a read. However, if Pete started taking prolong, wow, you would see it. Go ahead, Pete.
