Pete Corrieli
I know you guys wonder, do we ever read the comments on the channel, on the YouTube channel and Patreon channel? The answer is yes.

You go for $5 a month and you join us over on Patreon where you get to see every Pete and Sebastian show with no ads. Plus you get a whole nother extra show only on Patreon where we talk about things like whatever happened when I got that letter from somebody telling me I gotta get out of Fredonia. I finished talking about that on the Patreon channel. And on top of all that, you now get live me every Tuesday doing Loose Ends on our Patreon channel. 8:30 East Coast, 5:30 West Coast. Sebastian hops on quite a bit. I take calls for an hour and a half, at least up to two hours. So if you want to be a part of the cast, you can do that too.

And I'll catch you next week. Boom. Done. Back to the cast or ads. Or maybe ads.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know.
Pete Corrieli
That's what I'm saying. But if this was on Patreon, you know, there wouldn't be ads after what I just said.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is the Pete and Sebastian show.
Pete Corrieli
With Pete Corieli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wildflowers and wine. Oh, scratchy. Record the background of our life, everybody. Welcome to the Pete and Sebastian show. Sebastian man. Scalpel. Pete Corieli coming to you live and direct. Little beef jerky. By the way, totally into beef jerky. M A U, I think you say Maui. Little venison stick, great little snack. Not a sponsor. Send me free shit, please. Yeah, I'm sick of paying full price for shit, all right?
Pete Corrieli
I'm sick of it. Deer meat is not a great little snack, I don't think. I mean, I mean picture like. Picture like if a deer is standing there and you were to bend over and take a bite out of its back. That's what you just did. That's not a snack.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, let me take you back four weeks ago when you were down in beef jerky from John.
Pete Corrieli
Right, right. But I'm not in your hotel promoting it to youth. We got young kids listening. Think beef jerky is this. It's. It's meat guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. What you were devouring and said, oh, this is a beautiful snack. At the end of the night, I eat my beef jerky and I get.
Pete Corrieli
In my bathtub because I had lack of options. Now I'm home and I got other options. You got. I'm sure I've been to your house. There's always an abundance of fresh fruit. It's like a goddamn lobby at a five star hotel in Mexico. That's how much fresh fruit's floating around. You're coming up with packaged deer meat.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's great.
Pete Corrieli
By the way, John Petrelli, whose meat we have from the road, also wrote that book. I finished it. Like to get into that at some point with John. Maybe down the line on the road we'll do something with that. Have. Do an interview with him about it. Incredible book.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, let me just kind of give you a compliment here in regards to your. And you must have scored really high on this in school, your reading and comprehension. I'll put it up against any Harvard grad. The. The ability to not only read, but then offer information to other people from what you read is astounding. I mean, John was even stunned that you remember these little idiosyncrasies throughout his book that, you know, he thought maybe he wouldn't have picked up on. Oh, wow.
Pete Corrieli
Listen, I appreciate that, but it's like, it's like bread my knowledge from books, it's like it has a fucking expiration date. Like, you know, within a year, I won't even remember the title of his fucking book.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's so sad.
Pete Corrieli
I hate that about it though. You know, you only remember, like nuggets. But the last story about falling out of the boat, oh my God, he almost drowned. With the boat coming around in a circle, pulling out a knife, cutting, his weight is off. While he's drowning, his weight is off. If I'm drowning, I don't have to wear with all the go, let me get out my knife. And Tom Cruise this situation. What the fuck?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think, good.
Pete Corrieli
Would you do it if you were dying and you had a minute left to think about how to solve the problem? Or a minute left to cry?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I die.
Pete Corrieli
Me too. I just one loud fall.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't got that mind where I react in real time going, oh, I'm drowning. What's making me drown. Oh, the weights. I don't do any of that. I just go down. That's it, we're done.
Pete Corrieli
That's a funny bit, bro. That's a funny bit. You don't go, oh, wait. If I tap on the door, the glass will shatter and it'll give me time to pull myself up. If I just hold that. I just have to. If I could just reach. Like, I'm dead.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, you see those videos where the car careens off the road and ends up in a lake, right? And it starts to submerge, right? And then you see the people in the car. You know, like you said, either they have a mechanism that breaks the window or they're trying to get out. If that was me, boom, in the car seat, this is all you would see from out. You would just see me with the hands on the wheel, just going underneath. Goodbye, we're done. That's it.
Pete Corrieli
And if I. If I did get out, like, saving people, nothing. I'd be like the Kennedy, right? I'd be just all wet on the bridge, lying. I don't know what happened. Is she here? Ah, she's still down there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God.
Pete Corrieli
Oh. So before we get into anything, I think I got. I got a funny one I want to share with you if you got a sec here. This is.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, where am I going?
Pete Corrieli
What is.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Tell me, what's your take?
Pete Corrieli
What is your take on this? What do you do? Okay. And I gotta say this delicately because it's a bit of a tragedy involved, and I don't want to be disrespectful, but I'm just saying it from my standpoint, like a. I guess like a Larry David type moment. Long story short, Jackie and I were out for a function. We'll just leave it at that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Let me just interrupt you one second before you get into the story, and I'll let you tell the story. So the way you preface the story, already, I'm in. Like, when you tell me I want to be delicate and not disrespectful, I'm like, God, this is great, Right?
Pete Corrieli
Yeah. And there was a bit of a tragedy involved.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Already. I'm laughing.
Pete Corrieli
All right, so that's a thing, right? It's a delicate thing, that. So we're at a social thing, like a fun thing. Sadie's there, too, and a guy I know very little. I've seen him a few times. Very nice guy, fan. But like a nice man. He comes up and he's talking to us, and he own. I don't know if I can get into this. He only has one arm. And he only has one arm. He's missing his right arm now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now. Ah, good.
Pete Corrieli
I could swear the last time I saw him, he had two arms. I'm like, I think I remember if he only had one arm. But then again, it's almost like when you think someone's pregnant but they could be fat. So you don't say anything, but you're like, they gotta be pregnant. It's gotta be pregnant. Like, I'm like, this guy, he had two arms. I remember, right? So then he leaves, and I said to Jackie, didn't he have two arms last time? And she's like, I think so. I'm not sure. And I go, yeah, but like, if he didn't, don't you think you'd remember that? Like, I don't.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, I'm confused on. If someone has a missing limb, right, and you met them before, you would remember.
Pete Corrieli
That's what I'm saying. Okay, right. But he's. But he's not bringing it up, and I'm not bringing it up, and we're chatting, you know? And then when he left, I said to Jackie, didn't he have two of them? She goes, I think so, but I'm not sure. And I'm like, well, I think we'd remember that. So it's exactly what you're saying, okay? So I was like, geez, I've said something. And I said to Jackie, like, I go, what if he's going right now? The fuck I got one of them. And you don't ask what the fuck happened? Fucking asshole. Like. Like, you know, maybe he's thinking that about me, right? So then a little later on, he comes up again and we're chatting. And then he said, until this happened. I was like, oh, you know, I don't want to say anything, you know? And then he told me what happened. It was this as an accident, not in the car, but it was a farming accident. It's just terrible, terrible story. But, like, my point of it is, do you. If you're. If you see someone that you know and now they're missing a limb since the last time you saw them, is it all right for you to say, oh, my God, what happened? Or do you not say anything until they say what happened?
Sebastian Maniscalco
God forbid, if anything like that happened to me, I would lead with that.
Pete Corrieli
The minute you say what you just said, you made everything I say make me feel like a bad guy. Because all of a sudden you softened it all a Little bit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, you did.
Pete Corrieli
You did.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Listen, I'm going to tell you, if you're missing a finger, a limb, an eyeball, whatever it is, if you see me for the first time and then I leave and you see me again the next next time, and I got an eye patch on, I tell you, got my eyeball taken out by a bird, whatever it is.
Pete Corrieli
You're gonna say that to everybody because.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You'Re looking at me going, what's wrong with the eye? That's. And you're not even hearing what I'm saying. So I lead with the arm got chewed off in a wood chipper. Unbelievable. Anyway, had a great bro.
Pete Corrieli
Did you see Wicked? That's what the girl green girl did everywhere she went. Let's get this out of the way. Parents aren't green. Don't know why this hat. Like, that's how she walked into a room.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We open with that, and then we put it to bed. Because if I don't open with that, I'm going to say, I had a great Christmas, this and that. It's just you're sitting there going, this guy has two arms. Last time I saw him, like, in your head, right? Did you even hear what this guy was talking about?
Pete Corrieli
No, no, other than the hello. I was like, no, not really. Not until he came back and told me what happened.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now.
Pete Corrieli
But like, if you know someone, let's say the level of your mailman that you see every day, but you don't even really know him, but all of a sudden, one day he has a patch and he's not telling you. Why do you say to him, man, what happened? Like, I don't even know the guy's name. Do you say, what happened to you? I. Or do you just not say anything?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think it's the responsibility of the person who has had something happen to them. Tell.
Pete Corrieli
All right. Very interesting.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The person, hey, this is what happened to me. And if you don't say anything, that's fine. That's your prerogative. However, I feel like the person is going to be wondering, oh, what happened? Why air. You see somebody, you talk to them, have a conversation. You're talking, da, da, da. Next time they're in a wheelchair, right? Oh, geez, where do you go? What happened? Or do you just act like, hey, here's something.
Pete Corrieli

Sebastian Maniscalco
Here's something I don't know how to respond to. Some of the time when you meet somebody in a wheelchair, do you stand straight up? Like, do you just talk to them as if they were standing? Or do you get on a knee or bend down and put your. Your hands on your knees and talk to them eye to eye? What should take on wheelchairs?
Pete Corrieli
Clap? Are you kidding? Are you kidding me? Are you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Are you serious? Listen.
Pete Corrieli
Oh, my God. You get down on a. Yeah. You ever wait on someone in a wheelchair? You get down on one knee. What would you like, sir? Beer or glass of wine? Oh, my God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Listen. No, I. I've had this happen to me a few times where I. I meet somebody backstage and I meet.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And they're like, okay, let's take a picture. Okay, so do you take a picture on like a knee with, you know, down at wheelchair level, or do you stand behind the wheelchair and take a picture?
Pete Corrieli
No, I get down to the level, yeah, for that. I get down to the level.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But for talking. You stand?
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think I would stand. Yeah, I think I would stand. I think I have. Yeah, I do stand.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, but for the picture, you get down on the knee, Right. Why? Do you know why that is? Why don't you just stand like you were talking to me?
Pete Corrieli
Because you're supposed to be like, shoulder to shoulder for a photo, aren't you? I mean, what if there's a kid.
Sebastian Maniscalco
In a photo and you're taking it as a family? Do you get down to kid level?
Pete Corrieli
No, I try to get his shoulder level with the majority of the people that like. I picked the main shoulder level and I go with that one. I don't know. I don't know. So you bring up a good point. What did you do when you, like, take a photo with a little person? Do you bend down or is that insulting?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know. I don't know. That's why I'm asking the question. I mean, I don't think a lot of people think of these things because maybe, you know, whatever, I just. I just go the extra mile with it, that's all. There's nothing offensive about it. I'm just saying, when you meet somebody in a fucking wheelchair, do you. Do you. Do you talk on a knee?
Pete Corrieli
Relax. Listen, you don't have to defend it. I just did a whole thing about him. Guy with one arm. Relax.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Again with this thing. Jesus Christ.
Pete Corrieli
Got a nickel dime operation, you have that can't survive 100 mile an hour wind.
Sebastian Maniscalco
These are wins, bro. These are wins. It's like a tornado.
Pete Corrieli
Because I'm saying, I mean. Yeah, you can't be mad.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Could you look up tornado and this is another question here. Let's go, let's, let's dissect the wind. What makes it wind and then what makes it a tornado? Because if 100 miles an hour is what a tornado starts throwing off but there's no tornado, you just call it wind.
Pete Corrieli
Well is it, or what about when they go tornado like winds? Like what does that mean? But is there a certain level? What, what, when do you go from high winds to hurricane by the way? Like 100 miles an hour high winds, 101 miles an hour hurricane. Yeah. 101 miles an hour and now it's swirling tornado feeling. Would have a bit about this.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I, I, I, I think a hurricane starts in the water, right? That's water related.
Pete Corrieli
No, they're taking you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I just, no, it starts over, over water and it starts reaching land. I'm saying what's going on outside right now? I walked out there, I almost got blown off my feet. But there's no, there's no, there's no tornado. It's just high winds. So I want to find out what high winds, when that becomes a tornado or it's just if it's 250 mile an hour wind, is that just count as wind? High wind refers to a sustained strong winds over a wide area, typically without rotation. Whereas a tornado is violently rotating column of air. Okay. That's the difference. So rotating air and then straight winds east and west. I want to get into Christmas a little bit. I know we're kind of past it, but I want to kind of go back to it a little bit. I bought a PlayStation video game for the family also I bought it for my brother in law. Me and him like to play FIFA. This was way back about 12 years ago. Used to play FIFA when I used to go to his house, used to have an Xbox. I thought I had video games growing up. Right. Be nice for my kids to you know, play video games. And we downloaded Pac Man, Frogger. Old school, old school games. Not some of these games that are like. I tried one of these games, I think it was called Astro. Are you, are you, are you a gamer?
Pete Corrieli
When I was a kid.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When I was a kid. Okay. But there's grown men that play games online. Right, right. FIFA, Madden, what have you. You gotta be. And maybe just because I'm older and my brain don't work this way. The amount of buttons and controls that you got to memorize and. Oh, the X does this, the B does the jump, the C does that. Bro, give me the Atari joystick with one red button. Right, right. Laughing that's all I need. This A, B back. Throw the ball. Cat, X, triangle, RL Too much. Too much for me.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But kids are having fun with it. Yeah. What were your video games?
Pete Corrieli
What did you play? I mean, like, we had Atari, right, Growing up, but I. It's funny you say that, because we just got Sadie for Christmas. Nintendo Switch.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, yeah, we got that too.
Pete Corrieli
And. And one of the big reasons why I wanted to get that is because Mario's on there, you know? I love Mario. I used to love that growing up, you know? Although I didn't even play it yet, because we also got her the sport cartridge where you can play tennis and volleyball and all that. Dude, I'm loving that you put the thing on your wrist and you got on the tv. I'm doing the volleyball. Coming up for the spike. Oh, going against her. You working up a sweat right there in your living room. It's phenomenal. Jumping around. So. But, yeah, I'm not a video guy, so. But same reason as you're saying. It's like, so much shit going on. I don't even. Even when I watch her play, I'm like, are you playing right now? Or is it like. She goes, yeah, fighting. It's too much. So, no, I'm not. But I also still have Atari hooked up because I got Atari.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You still have. I don't know. You still have Atari.
Pete Corrieli
I bought a new Atari for her when she was like, three or four, thinking she'd get it, and then maybe, like. Maybe she was like, seven. But so we. And Atari now, when you buy it, has every game built in. Pitfall. Yeah, but, like, so we have them both hooked up. So you can literally put on Nintendo Switch and then go to Atari. Oh, my God, bro. That's like going from fucking Teterboro private airplane to fucking Greyhound bus. Holy shit. You ever play Frogger on Atari?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I just played it. They have. They have those games for Nintendo. Like, they have Pac man and Frogger, but they're on the Nintendo games. You don't have to buy the Atari.
Pete Corrieli
They'Re on, but is it the Pac man from the pizza place? Pac Man. The Atari. Pac man sucked.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is this what you got on Atari?
Pete Corrieli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. That's what I got on my Nintendo. The Pete and Sebastian show.
Pete Corrieli
My dad works in B2B marketing. He came by my school for career day and said he was a big roas man. Then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend. My friends still laugh at me to this day.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Not everyone gets B2B. But with LinkedIn you'll be able to.
Pete Corrieli
Reach people who do.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Get a hundred dollar credit on your next ad campaign. Go to LinkedIn.com results to claim your credit. That's LinkedIn.com results. Terms and conditions apply. LinkedIn, the place to be.
Pete Corrieli
To be.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I got that going. For Christmas. We're getting a little lax here with the, with the Santa Claus, I think. You know, I don't know if you guys were, were a little bit more not careful, but so, so what my wife is. What she does is she put post it notes on the gifts so she knows what gift it is. You know, like on the back of the gift it says dinosaur puzzle. Right? So sometimes the kids will take the gift or sometimes my wife or I will forget to take the post it note off and the kids will go, oh, it's a dinosaur. She's like, no, don't read that. That's for the elves so they know what's in the right. And the kids are looking at us going, come on.
Pete Corrieli
Who you kidding?
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know, this is this thing, this thing's dying and it's dying slowly.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So we got, we gotta figure out.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, it's all, it doesn't matter. Nothing changes. Sadie had a blast. She's like, whatever, it doesn't change a thing, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think we screwed up with the Santa Claus because. And I told Lana this, I go, why don't we just do two gifts from Santa and the rest from us, right? Because number one, it's hard for me to keep track of who gave what to our kids. So I go, oh, yeah, you know, Santa brought that, right? And he's like, no, daddy, you gave this to me. You know, like, I don't know what gifts are from Santa and what gifts are from mommy and dad.
Pete Corrieli
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, guy. As long as there's a Santa, what's coming from you? I mean, once when my daughter was like seven, I think I got her like a necklace. I'm like, this is a little something special from dad. But other than that, this is a fucking Santa pile. And that's it. There's a daddy and mommy pile and a Santa pile.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Because I'm sick of this guy getting all the credit, bro. Yeah.
Pete Corrieli
I was about to say you stepping on the man's toes. The fat man brings.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Fuck. I got two Mario Karts on the tennis court that they're like, we're so glad Santa brought these. I bought those.
Pete Corrieli
They'll know in time. But right now, it's all from Santa. You're supposed to be, like, going, I can't believe Santa brought this. This is. How does he even get it down the chimney? You're like. You're not even doing it anyway, bro. You're like, is this one from daddy or from Santa? I can't even. I don't know what the fuck I'm hearing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, well, the problem with Santa Claus right now is when we were growing up, Santa brought a train track, a bicycle, right? Whatever. Matchbox car, whatever it was, Right, right, right. It's hard for a kid to believe that Santa is making a PlayStation 5 in the north Pole, right? Like, right?
Pete Corrieli
I know, but I mean, still, you thought he was making an air hockey. What the. You know what I'm saying? Like, all of it was.
Sebastian Maniscalco
By the way, that's a little bit more believable than he made a video game console that you could play volleyball on. You know, it's like, what the fuck are these elves doing up there? You know, like, so they see that. They see that. They see the cartoons where the elves are making these little trinkets and whatnot. They're not. They're not doing, like, high tech.
Pete Corrieli
I know. Even when I was a kid and I'd watch them Christmas things, the elves are making fucking wooden cars. I'm like, if I got a wooden car for Christmas, we'd have a big fucking problem around this house. We'd have a big problem right now. But, I mean, I remember as a kid, it was weird, too. You go to the store and you'd see what you'd want for Christmas in the store. I'm like, santa's selling a surplus to see us. What the fuck is going on with this? Yeah, but, bro, you know, you don't overthink it. You just. Just go with it going. It's Christmas. The guy comes down the chimney. I don't know how he gets the down there, but he does. I'm rolling with it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, my kids are even going with questions that I can't even answer. My. My daughter's like, how does sand land his sleigh when it's not snowing? Because the. The blades of the. Of the sleigh catch the snow and he slides in. He's. They're like, how does he land when there's no snow and I'm like, jesus Christ. I don't. He hovers. I mean, what do you.
Pete Corrieli
What do you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What do you do? And. And the whole getting down the chimney. And even my kids are looking up the chimney, like, how does he fit down the chimney? And I'm like, I don't know. It's like magic.
Pete Corrieli
Well, but, like, I gotta ask you, because we here, we have. We have white Christmas, knockwood almost every year, and it's freezing, but, like, do you feel a little, like, slighted or like when you watch a Christmas movie and it's all in snow and stuff? Are you like, nah, fuck them then. Like, they don't care about us. We don't care about them. Like, or. Because it's like, we're celebrating a place that you're not in. People live in Florida, Arizona. I remember when I was in L. A. Right before Christmas, I was like, I need to get out of here and just slide into my holiday spirit. Because, yeah, it definitely didn't get comfortable.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it adds an element to the holidays that. That, you know, it's. It's a miss. When I see that stuff, I'm like, I. I actually, you know, like, oh, that'd be cool to be in snow. Maybe next year we'll go to Colorado for skiing or Christmas where there's snow. I don't know. Lana and I have a whole, whole thing over here that we want to start our own traditions. We want to start making some mem. Within the family and not kind of following suit with what we do every Christmas. I mean, we do have a tradition where my sister comes over with her kids. But I win mine next year going, hey, let's pack it up and let's go to Utah and spend Christmas in Utah.
Pete Corrieli
Which you take. That's what I'm saying. The minute the kid doesn't believe in Santa, I feel like it opens up the gate to. Again with. Though Jackie, she wants to be near her parents, and I get that too. I don't want to be 80 years old. God forbid. Jackie's gone, and Sadie's looking at me. I'm 82, dribbling on myself. And she's like, you're gonna be alone this Christmas, dad, because Ken wants to go to Utah. Oh, yeah. So.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So what you're saying is, as long as the parents are alive, you are going to stay in Fredonia. Now, my. My question, I'm going flip it around on you if the parents stay alive another 20 years, right?
Pete Corrieli
Yeah. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You and your Parents are going to be drooling all over each other, going, you got. We didn't do.
Pete Corrieli
You're right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We didn't do any new traditions. You know what I'm saying?
Pete Corrieli
Well, when they reach a point where they don't even. Like when you're just bopping over to go, merry Christmas, and then you're leaving, it's like, you know, when they get to the point where they don't even know it's Christmas unless you tell them it's Christmas. But I have. I got a dream.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And, like, you're telling me there's going to be a point on our lives, right? Well, we're in a bed somewhere in a nursing home or propped up in our room, and Satan and Seraphine are going to come in, give you a kiss on the forehead on December 19, and go, Merry Christmas, dad. And then get up on a United flight and head to Europe.
Pete Corrieli
Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right. You say that.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, because I'm going. And then when the lady's wiping my ass, I'll be like, it came. It came early. It came early. It's over. Over. Don't waste your time. I don't know. You don't have to bring me a fucking. You know, bro, you're your favorite. We bring you an espresso from Tim Hortons. Dad, I've always wanted to go. This has been a dream. And you could tell me better if I'm. If I'm even right about this. I'm sure you've been to this place. Siena, Italy. The way the whole town is encased in a wall, right? And years ago, when I went there with Jackie, I said, gosh, my dream is to stay in here in Siena, in a cute little beautiful hotel on Christmas. I bet it is so magical. Does Italy get into Christmas the way we do?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I would. I would think if you went to Rome, Christmas in Rome would be spectacular.
Pete Corrieli
It just sounds spectacular. I'm getting goosebumps hearing it. Oh, Christmas in Rome. It's like an Audrey Hepburn movie.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Christmas in Rome. Even, like, even in northern Italy. Maybe close to the Switzerland border. Like, Switzerland. Christmas.
Pete Corrieli
Christmas.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God, the Alps, the lights. Little hot cocoa by a fire with a beautiful Christmas tree. I mean, these are things that, you know, are in the realm of possibility as we progress through life. I'm just saying. Not that I don't like the traditions that we currently have, but, you know, when are we gonna branch off and start doing Thanksgiving and Bahamas or wherever it might be? You know, just something a little bit untraditional. We'll see. Yeah, drop it in the comments, guys. Guys, drop it in the comments. What you guys do during Christmas and Thanksgiving again, nobody's gonna read them. But watch and remember, we care. No, we do care. We do care. We do care. I mean, come on, this is, we've been doing this now for north of 12 years. So something's gotta be, something's gotta be working.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And if we get together and we have guests, if we ever start to do guests that don't have to be in studio, I have a new number one guest I'd like to try and get. I would love to get Suge Knight from fucking jail. Oh, Jesus Christ. On the Pete and Sebastian show this.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Motherfucker out of my face. Oh my God. That would definitely not just up a little bit.
Pete Corrieli
So what's up? Are we gonna, when are we gonna talk about the greatness of the show, man? I mean, listen.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I mean I'm not gonna, I'm.
Pete Corrieli
Not gonna say bookie is hilarious. It's, it's, it's. The acting is great. The storyline is moving forward. The writing is great. It's, it's really a powerhouse, man. Now is it up for this coming now 2025 is when it would be eligible for like the Golden Globes, right? Like, like the Golden Globes. I just saw it couldn't have been eligible for that. For season two, it was eligible.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Season one. Yeah.
Pete Corrieli
Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now again, season two will be next. Golden Globes, bro.
Pete Corrieli
That's what I'm saying. Season one, we get to know the characters, all the actors were getting their feet. Every show you ever see, season one is that, that's a great show. Season one is good and you're glad it got picked up. And then season two, it's like everyone's got their footing. Everyone's got their footing on this, man. It's just really great show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, thank you. Appreciate it.
Pete Corrieli
The cop too. There's so many great moments with the cop when, when your mother in law, she's great, dude, she's great. And your dynamic, whatever. And she comes up and gets on the bike, jumps on the one day and he's going, oh fuck, that's the movie. There's so many great lines and your lines with her. And I had one question I wanted to ask you and this is just an example because your acting is great. Best acting I think I've ever seen you do.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Thank you.
Pete Corrieli
And I thought you've done great acting in a lot of shit. But when you, when you pick up the mother in law, all Right. We're at four, we're four episodes in now, folks. This is on hbo, Max, you gotta check it out. It's actually funny. And I say that because, you know, so many of the comedies, like the Bear, one for the best comedy and people were saying it's not even a comedy, it's a dramedy. This is a true to form comedy. They're trying to make you laugh and it's fucking great. Now you're driving and you got your mother in law that was now going to come live with you and you go about your wife. You go, so and so is going to like having you here for a little while. For a little while. Right now the script just says so and so is going to like having you here for a little while. Now do you make the choice like the way you said it, you, in your words, you made it seem like for a little while, like where I would may have bad actor, I go, you know, Kathy's going to like having you here for a little while. Like, cut. No, Pete, it's like, it's like, like so do they, do they? Does anyone ever tell you, oh, you want to say like this or are you just making choices on your own?
Sebastian Maniscalco
So yeah, you make choices. In that particular scene, I wasn't doing it as pronounced as it should have been. Like it had to come off as if you ain't staying more than two days, you know, that's how it came off. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But in the beginning it wasn't. So that's directing. Directing will tell you, hey, you know what, let's massage it here. Let's massage it. You're there. There's a lot of things that, you know, the writers are there on, on, you know, Chuck is there, he's showrunning this whole thing. So there's a lot of time. He chimes in and goes, no, no, no, no. Or the director will come out and go, no, let's, let's, let's try it this way. Or not. Not so hot. And they're not, you know, like, you know, they're, they're kind of like conducting this whole thing. We'll start the car. Cool. Leave it in park. Is that a good idea? Relax.
Pete Corrieli
When I was his age, I was stealing cars.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I would have guessed horses. Yeah, I mean from the response that we're getting, it's very flattering. People enjoy, enjoy the show. My whole thing is, you know, you know, we were off for two, three weeks. The whole town shuts down. So I'll probably get word within the next, probably three or four weeks if this thing's going another season. It's just the whole, like, kind of. You do these things, and now you got to sit there and wait. You don't know whether or not this thing. That. That could be it. That could be it. What you saw this season, after eight episodes, that could be the end of this damn thing. Which is a little disheartening just because, you know, back in the day, they used to renew you for, like, all right, we're gonna give you two seasons, three seasons, so you at least, you know, you had a Runway of like, okay, where are these things going now? It's like, it's what, January after April, after the tour, I'm basically unemployed. It'd be nice to know if we're going to be shooting this thing this summer. So that's the only drawback about it.
Pete Corrieli
Then you can put yourself as a writer. You put yourself like a guy like Chuck Lorre as a. As the writer of it. He's. He's probably even tenfold, where he's on vacation and he's like. In his head, he's having a drink and he's thinking of season three. Oh, God, it'd be so funny if. And he's going, stop thinking about it. Hasn't been picked up. Don't wait. Think of other things. Like. Like, you don't even want to waste your energy creatively until you know. Because. You know. Because they'll only be disappointed if you're like, I got a great idea for season three. Not going, ah, shit. But what about getting to the point. This is rarefied. Yeah. Where like, Sex and the City, Seinfeld, these kind of things where they're wondering, is he gonna do another season? Like, it's up to the actors. Oh, God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's power.
Pete Corrieli
That's power. Well, not next year. We're gonna take next year off. But the year after, we'll come back and do a double season.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it'd be nice to be in that position where you could dictate whether.
Pete Corrieli
Or not just so many funny scenes. So many. But, like, though, when you're waving. Am I giving it away? Whatever. I'm saying it. When you're waving to the helicopter, is there really a helicopter in that scene?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, there's not.
Pete Corrieli
Wow.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No. So that was.
Pete Corrieli
That's amazing, because I thought there was a helicopter there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, there's no helicopter that's put in post. What they had is a drone. They had a drone up there catching My wave. There's like a camera catching the wave, but the helicopters put in afterwards.
Pete Corrieli
See, that's amazing, because I'm sitting on my couch going, oh, my God. Talk about knowing you made it, hiring a helicopter for you to wave to. So do you think there was a helicopter following Leota and Goodfellas back then, or you think they were doing some kind of post thing, too?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think they probably shot a helicopter and then, you know, edited it in to make it look like he was looking at it.
Pete Corrieli
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't. I don't think that that was 1990. I don't think they were doing post helicopter or. I don't even think they had the technology back then. Yep, that's it.
Pete Corrieli
You got to get to your mother. See, I told you. Now, Omar, your partner in this, who's the whole thing with his mom and the guy, it's like. It's so good. And the nice house he's living in and your guy's chemistry with the baby, it's so. It's so funny. Now, some of these scenes, like, afterwards, aren't you guys, like, to each other, like, oh, God. Was funny, like. Like, is that. Is anyone laughing, like, there when you're doing it? Like, you brought a baby, you know, like, that was gonna do it on street cred and then corduroy asking if the baby wants oysters. I think it's a lot of funny. I don't know. It's just always interesting to me if the actors forget that the. The.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The.
Pete Corrieli
The people filming are laughing. Are you guys going, shit? That was pretty funny? Because you look like you're having a good time, dude.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know what? It does. It does happen from time to time. Not that we sit there and go, wow, that was funny. We'll laugh kind of maybe after the scene and that kind of show that we were. But I'm not really, like, when I'm there and I'm doing this stuff, I am so focused on getting the lines correct and not, like. Because it takes a while for the lines to, like, be embedded in my head. So we do a scene, and while they're setting up for the next scene, we're running the lines again, right? And then when they're. When we're moving to another location on the way to the location, we're either doing the lines for that seed or we're doing the lines for tomorrow, because we just got the sides for tomorrow. So it's like. So it's a. It's a constant. It's like, I don't know how these people do it. Like, when they. In between scenes, they're, like, having fun and, like, with water balloons or whatever. You see some of this on set, bro. I feel like I'm at school between 8 to 8, I'm at school studying. There's no time for, like, any riff raff.
Pete Corrieli
Right? Right. Wow. Well, I tell you, man, it seems like you know the lines and, like, it's. It's. Yeah, it's really funny.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So, yeah, it's. It's been fun and hopefully, and we got a really good group of people.
Pete Corrieli
So I would imagine your mom watches every episode. And knowing your mom, she probably calls a critique in some capacity.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We haven't done this in a while. I'll give you what my mom said.
Pete Corrieli
Well, I got one. I know one scene where she was probably like, what the hell was that? We didn't need that. It was Rob's scene in the boat.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, with the. Coming out of. The coming out of. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pete Corrieli
That was about two and a half. And he's funny as hell in that show. And he committed to that scene. It was great. Less commitment. But in post that, that scene went about two minutes too long.
Sebastian Maniscalco
My VOD just. I just watched the bookie. Oh, my God. Sebastian. Best episode three. I said, oh, the third episode. We just had the fourth one drop tonight. She's. Yeah, I know. I watched that too. But the third, I was dying. Laugh.
Pete Corrieli
I like four.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, the parents, they'll give you. You know, like, I didn't really like four, but three was good. You know, I'm saying they don't. They don't sugarcoat nothing.
Pete Corrieli
Three was the going to the house with the. With the Met.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Hold on. We got it.
Pete Corrieli
That was a great one.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We're getting reports of a brush fire headed towards buildings due to high winds. We have to wrap this up.
Pete Corrieli
Holy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Hold on. La Sienna Sunset. You see any fire out there?
Pete Corrieli
No.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is what I don't understand. And maybe you could. Maybe you could shed some light on this with these fires and high winds. What's going on? Like, does somebody light a match and they throw it on the ground and all of a sudden, what's going on? Why does wind cause fire?
Pete Corrieli
Right. Well, you know, it's like blowing on. You know, blowing on fire. I don't know why, though. Adds oxygen to the fire. I know that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, but, like, where are these fires? Are they simmering somewhere and all of a sudden the wind picks up and like. Oh, we got like. I guess my question is, is there fire kindling somewhere. And that's all it needs is a little wind to get going.
Pete Corrieli
I know I don't know much about fire in that capacity because we haven't been over 30 degrees in 14 days. So you could literally light gasoline out there and it's not gonna do shit. It's frozen.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Anyway, our time is up here. Pete and Sebastian show couple things to the listeners. We gotta thank you for listening. Go to Patreon if you like the show, go to Patreon.
