Every Tuesday at 8:30pm Eastern Time. Pete Coryelli connects with you, the Pete and Sebastian fans. It has music, magic and sometimes Sebastian. It's a wild variety show only on the Pete and Sebastian Patreon.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
John
Welcome back, Pete and Sebastian show. We are here. We are alive and well. I just sent you a clip Instagram. It's the Eagles Cliff. I'm gonna refer to it a little bit later. So I want to ask you something. Let us be together. So kids both had the flu over the last week, right? Coughing, fever, stuffy nose, the whole thing. And there's something in my head that anytime the kids get sick, I feel like I'm not going to get it because that's like a kid sickness and it's different than if you were sick and I was around you. Do you think that the kid virus is different flu than if, say you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Or I had 100?
John
What you told.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I feel Jackie doesn't. She's always afraid she's going to get it. But I'm right there with you. I feel like the same way your kids can't physically beat you up. Their viruses can't take your immune systems. Your immune system's like, you know, come on, what is this? How old is this thing? 5. I'm right there with you. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to parent, right?
Pete Corrielli
That's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The body was built to.
John
So I think Seraphina coughed right in my face and I like, I shook it off. Like it was like. Was that all you got? If Lana coughed in my face, I feel like in 10 minutes I'd have the sniffles.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah.
John
My question to you is, how long does a virus. And you might want to look this up. Like, if I sneeze, right, And I got the virus and it's in the air and you inhaled it. How long from the time you inhale my virus to the time you get symptoms. What do you think? What do you think that time frame is?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's a great question, man. I don't know. I. I know. I know a lot of times when it happens, we think it's quicker than it is, right? Like, you know, somebody kid sneezes in your face and they're sick, and then three hours later you're nauseous and you're like, it doesn't work that fast, does it? I don't know.
John
I don't know. I'm surprised there has a bit of test developed where you could go, oh, he just sneezed on me. And then you put this little tester in your tongue to see if you got the virus and it comes back, you don't have it yet. I just want to know when it. Like this should be an alert system through the phone when you got a virus in your body going. Flu detected. Flu detected. Start taking Tamiflu. That's what I want to hear now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's AI Man. You're going to have that someday.
John
But I tell you, here it is.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
John
Colds, colds. Incubation period, two to five days, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, wow, that's a lot.
John
Onset of a runny nose until fever, gone. What? Oh, okay. That's a contagious period. Cold sore, two to five days. Coughs, two to five days. COVID 19, two to 14 days. So I think it's two days. So I could sniff the virus right now, be fine, and then Sunday, there's a problem, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. That's interesting, because the other day I was tasked with cooking these turkey burgers as my only task. And I don't know because Jackie wasn't eating at the same time as Sadie's eye. So she had everything laid out. She's like, just cook these. I think I might have undercooked them. Sadie's like that. It's just undercooked. I'm like, I'm not sure. We were already halfway through them, but they tasted good. And then like literally an hour and a half later, I had a little heartburn and I'm like, oh, shit. Salmonella's doing its thing. But then I'm like, same thing you say with the virus. Like, if you eat raw food, how soon until you're gonna. You Know, die from it. Like.
John
Yeah, you know, like food poisoning. Like, how long does that take? To me.
Pete Corrielli
Raw chicken, raw chicken.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Licking it right out of the bag.
John
To me, if you eat food that's poisoned, that should be immediate. Like, as soon as the body receives that, the body's like, what's going on? Gotta throw it up. By the way, my kid threw up the other day. Serafina. She took the Tamiflu. I gotta look. My kids are so much stronger than I was at their age. She basically threw up on the floor, took her own hair back before I even got there. Took her own hair, held her hair, threw up and said, oh, my God, Daddy, that didn't feel good. And walked into her room. I mean, I was like, if I threw up as a kid, there was a crying session right after that, maybe even halfway through.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow. Me and your beautiful daughter officially have something in common now. The last time either one of us threw up was at your house.
John
That was a fun day, though. I mean, we did. Patrick was there that day. He was there for the start of it. Remember we started at Dom's and we ended in the pool with white wine, and then you were hugging the bowl at night. My. My car was left there that day. That's how screwed up I was.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh.
John
Do you have something that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Pete, are they. Yeah.
John
Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, what's your.
John
I'm sorry, but this whole gum shit's throwing me off, bro. What is this?
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, I had a piece of gum in.
John
You've never chewed gum like that on the cast. I don't know where that came from.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know. Corey. Yeah, sorry about that. Sorry about that. A little rude. We're not doing a show.
Shule Agar
Hi, I'm Shule Agar, comedian. I'm also a huge fan of the Pete and Sebastian show, but not just for the comedy, which there's plenty of. I'm a fan of the show for the knowledge I walk away with. Thanks to Pete and Sebastian, I now know what to look for when it comes to spotting someone with Ebola.
John
You got Ebola?
Shule Agar
No, but if I did, I would feel much more comfortable knowing that These two Italian MDs are on the case, getting me all the information I need.
Sebastian Maniscalco
If you have Ebola and you piss on my hand and you hit my cuticles. You hit all the cuticles of my fingernails with your Ebola piss. Am I Ebola now?
Shule Agar
Dr. Sebastian, your thoughts?
John
So if somebody urinates in your nose, you got it, right?
Shule Agar
See what I mean? How many doctors have you been to that end? The diagnosis with a question. And while most doctors try to keep you calm, these two are here to give it to you straight.
Casey Kasem
All right?
John
Fever greater than 101.5. Headache, muscle pain, weakness. I might have all four of those right now.
Casey Kasem
Come in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You got ebola?
Shule Agar
These Italian MDs will use every resource possible to get you the answers you need.
John
Is it airborne? Do you have to urinate in somebody's mouth to get it? What is it? You're dying Guy at the urinal in the bathroom. If you have flip flops on and you're next to a guy and some of his piss splatters onto your feet, right? Do you have it or do you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Have to have a cut on your foot and like literally stand in his pocket, puddle of piss?
Pete Corrielli
And.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And who's doing that?
Shule Agar
Pete and Sebastian. Italian MDs.

Sebastian Maniscalco
So what do you got? Two things, Patrick. Before we show that I gotta get into this because I keep forgetting to talk about this bro. You want. Cuz this is what I want. I want my wife to mourn me when I'm gone like a horse. And I don't know if you're familiar with this. This blew my mind. Now last cast, you saw Jackie walking by.
Casey Kasem
Cuz we got.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I said we're getting our closets done. We have this guy, he's done a lot of work around our house. Amazing carpenter and he's redoing. He's making. He's building these closets for us, but he's making them at home, and he's bringing them in in sections. And we said, take your time. We know you got a lot on your plate. Blah, blah, blah. So recently, he has two horses. Very old. Very old. Are you cool? Because I see you touching things. Can you hear me?
John
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So he comes over about two weeks ago. First it was a month ago, the one horse died. And he goes, so now we have the one horse left. And he goes. And it's really sad to watch because horses mourn, like, on a major level. Like, elephants do, too. But. So here's the deal. When the horse died, the other horse hovered over the dead horse for two days, wailing. And he kept nibbling at the horse's ear. When he got tired, he'd lay on the horse. But then when he'd wake up, he'd wail over, and he was nibbling at the horse's ear. The dead horse was here trying to wake his buddy up. And to the point where the guy doing my house, he's like, I had to finally stop the mourning. And we had to bury the horse because he had chewed the ear right off the dead horse from trying to get him to wake up. So when horses are mourning like that, what you do is you bring in another horse because you don't even want your horse to be alone. So they buried the one horse, and when they took it away, he's like. You could hear this horse wailing and crying for, like, a half a mile. So we bring in a friend's horse. The friend's like, you can have my horse for as long as you need it, just to keep our horse company. Comes in a week later because he goes. I go, how's it going with the other horse? He goes, it's just. The one horse just won't stop crying. And the horse we brought in, it's a younger horse. It's a nice horse, but it's just looking at the horse crying like, you know, he's getting bored with the crying. So he comes home the other day, and the wailing stops. He goes out there. The horse cried itself to death. It mourned its buddy so bad, it just cried until it collapsed and died, too. A week later. Oh, my God. That's what I want. My wife. I want her to crumble into a fucking ball a week after me. Like, there's not even grass left growing on top of my graveyard. Like. But, like, is that that's like, what a level of love and companionship.
John
Something that stood out to me in this story. Now, doesn't the horse that's alive look at the horses. Horse that's dead and looks at his ear and go, oh, I'm. I'm eating this thing. Like that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know.
John
Isn't there, like. Isn't there like half of the ears gone? Maybe I should stop tugging at the ear. Like, don't that register?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Isn't that. It's amazing how dumb animals can be. Like, what are you gonna do, eat the whole head off? He's dead guy. Move on right there. I mean, that's how dumb animals are. I got to take your friend away because you're going to eat his corpse because you try to wake it up.
John
So there are cases where people have been married 50 years, and then someone dies in the relationship, and shortly after that other person dies. Right. So what you're saying is when you die, you want there to be so much love there that Jackie dies too?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, listen, not like that same day, but yeah, my fear is the opposite. She's gonna blossom like a bush that was shaded for 55 years and now it's got sunlight, you know, just. They finally cut the tree down and let that little bush do what it could open the business.
John
How long after you die does Jackie have to live in order for you to say she died? Because I died. So that's Exactly. You died. January 3rd, right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Calendar year. Calendar year.
John
Oh, that's a lot, bro. That fucking calendar year, cancer could develop and take her out. Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
So.
Pete Corrielli
Ah, come on.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Calendar year, bro. You die, your wife goes down within.
Pete Corrielli
365 days of you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's because of you. Because I'm missing you. 366. She was over you. She just died of other causes.
John
Three months.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Three months.
John
That's like. If your spouse dies within three months of you dying, that was directly associated with the death after three months, she's in the clear.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What about retirement? You're a plumber and you retire. How soon do you have to die after plumbing, where you say you retired and your body got confused and died because you retired. You know what I'm saying? Like that kind of thing. You ever hear that happen? You sound like an expert on it. Three months is. That's quick.
John
How long would you say the time that has to go past?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think it depends on what happens to you in that time, too.
John
Yeah. All things equal, right? You're just living your daily life. In three months, you croak. Is it Associated with your wife or do you think.
Casey Kasem
I'd say two months, four months?
John
Okay, so he's with.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Nah, it's a calendar year. It's a calendar year. It's a walk through memory lane of every season you had together. Oh, we used to do this in the fall. That's what the leaves remind me of. Then the summer comes.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, we used to go to the Jersey shore.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Then the winter comes.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, we get a tree and cut it down.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And then the spring comes. Oh, we'd celebrate Easter and then die. You get it? It's a stroll through all four seasons. One last. I don't know, three months is abrupt. I mean, Jesus, I don't know. Remember that one politician was a quail or one of them couldn't spell potato?
John
No. Yeah, I think it was. Wasn't it Bush?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Was it Bush? I don't remember who it was, but I. I still don't know how to spell potato.
John
I'm not a good speller.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't spell out loud.
Casey Kasem
Like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't spell out loud. I don't. I don't play that game with anything, you know? And they're like, everybody. You know, like. Because that's. That's the problem right there. It's too easy. That happens. I. I had. A couple weeks ago, I was writing something, and I turned to my daughter. I go, how do you spell when? And she's like, what? I go, you know, like, when I went to the store, like it was. You ever have that? Just like, all of a sudden, I'm like, is it wh. That seems weird that it would be W. You ever have a moment like that where a word you spelled your whole life, all of a sudden you're.
Pete Corrielli
Like, W, H, E, N. What the.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is.
Pete Corrielli
Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right. You think it would be W E, N. So that's why I never go. Give me a W.
John
I'm gonna give you some words.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
John
And I want you to spell them out loud. All right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Quickly. Yeah, Like. Like a cheer. Yeah, Like, I'll do one for you.
John
Success.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That one I know only.
Casey Kasem
Cause I play basketball.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I just immediately go to the cheerleaders. S U, C, C, E, S, S. That's the way we spell success. Here we go, Simila, quick.
John
S, I, M, I, L, I A, R. Yes. I think the whole room was stunned. I think. I think I looked over at Patrick. He's like, all right, well, I know stun bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
There. The fact that you looked over to see if it was correct, though, that was a little.
John
No. I looked over to see how stunned he was.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, you. You didn't go R. You went R like, at the end, like S, M, I, L, I A, R. Like, you said it like you weren't sure you said the word right. Guy. You didn't say with confidence.
John
I knew I had it. All right, I'm gonna give you another one. Decisive.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Decisive. Can I hear it in a sentence, please? D E, C, I, S I V, E.
John
Is that right?
Casey Kasem
That was right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know if you got similar, though.
John
Oh, he's debating my similar.
Sebastian Maniscalco
S I, M I, L I A.
John
R. I don't think there's three eyes in it. There might be just two eyes. Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's just lar.
John
He's right. It is wrong. It is wrong. That's why he was looking at me. That's why I was stunned that I didn't get it right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right. Listen, you know, so maybe we. Well, Billy, if you spell this correctly, you pass second grade. Couch. C. Couch, cow.
John
C, O.
Pete Corrielli
R. Are you going to the mall later?
John
That's what I'm asking.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I am not going to the mall. Keep spelling, Mr. C O U C H. Correct.
John
I am the smartest man alive. All right, I got another video I want to show you. I want to know if Instagram did not exist or social media did not exist. Oh, my God. Would this be something that would still be done or. I'll just watch. Have you watch it. Take a look at it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Wow. Holy. Oh, my God.
John
Okay, okay. I think we've seen enough.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's incredible, man.
John
I never saw unbelievable flexibility. However, 30 years ago, does this guy do that same thing and nobody knew about it? Or did this guy do this because he knew there was, like, a payoff at the end that the world was going to see this? What you take.

Sebastian Maniscalco
That's Cirque du Soleil stuff right there. That's like, I'd see that on the street corners. Growing up, when I went to this major city, they'd have a little bucket throw money in. I mean, that's done really well. So I don't know, Instagram just gives him a place to be seen by everyone. Dude, it's all the people dangling over a fucking cliff, taking a selfie. That's the shit that would never have been done without dumb Instagram. You've never seen that kind of stuff growing up. That's Michael Jackson.
John
Well, I'm just saying there's a lot of these things on Instagram. Like people are doing and testing the boundaries because they want to do it for social media, right? Why are you laughing?
Pete Corrielli
Because, bro, everything me and you do.
Sebastian Maniscalco
On Instagram, we wouldn't fucking do if there was no Instagram. So what are we even talking about? Jesus Christ.
John
That's what I'm saying.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Driveway.
Pete Corrielli
Look at how well I shoveled.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Best shoveling job I ever did, guys. Somehow that's gonna make them come see me perform.
Pete Corrielli
My life sucks.
Sebastian Maniscalco
TM me, guy. TM me. Teach me this. Save me from myself.
John
But you would still shovel. That's what I'm saying. The shoveling would have been done regardless of there's Instagram or not.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, you're right.
John
It's just the fact that you're showing it. Right. Well, what I'm saying is, are you doing anything in your life specifically that you wouldn't do if it wasn't for social media?
Sebastian Maniscalco
If I think about it, yeah. I mean, I like that. Like with Rogan, I want to say, guy, no social media. We taking all them Fucking ice baths, you know, Like, I think. I don't know. Like, he'd probably say, yes, I'm sure. But like. So we all got them, right? I can't think of one off the top of my head, but. How about you?
John
I don't. I don't think I'm doing anything specifically for social media.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm going to open up a box.
John
I might think of funny stuff. You know, it's like, I'm not testing the boundaries of anything just because of social media. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't put myself in situations where I'm like, oh, I'm doing this. Well, you know, I can't say that because there are things that I do that I wouldn't do. Like, I did this thing. What did my wife buy on Amazon? And I would open boxes and show people what she bought, but I would be opening the boxes anyway.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, right, right.
John
So I don't know. I don't think I am doing anything different.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Like, last time we were on the road and the company, the guy was really cool. Kevin was his name. And he had hats first. Cowboy hats. If they said there's a guy in this room that wants to give you a cowboy hat and stuff, he's at the show and has a company, I still go get the hat. So the fact that we took a video afterwards doesn't change anything. You're making me feel better about it. You're making me feel a little bit better about it.
John
How about this? If that wasn't for social media, I probably would have went in there and picked out the hat and said thank you, and then have him. I wouldn't have stayed there for the process, maybe. Right. Of him steaming the hat, putting the ribbon on the hat, engraving the hat. I probably wouldn't have stayed for the pomp and circumstances of it all. Would you?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think you would have because it wasn't that long. And, you know, it's. It's. Yeah, it wasn't that long of a process. You wouldn't have. You just wouldn't have made the video afterwards. Which seems to be the. The big thing here is the conclusion. You still. You still would live the life you live in, but without Instagram this, you probably just wouldn't take the video after you did whatever it is that you just did.
John
Okay, so the flip side of that, do you think people are living just for the Instagram? Like, recently, I heard that there's. There was a woman who slept with over a thousand men. Right? Did you hear about this?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
John
Did she do that specifically to get hits on her Instagram page or if social media wasn't around? Do you think this woman's opening her leg for a thousand guys?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Definitely not. I hear you. Yeah. Like there's a monetary value somehow through pornhub or whatever to do that. Yeah. Yeah. So in her case. But there's gotta be things I've done that I wouldn't do.
John
My question there is. Where's the parents there? Like, is there any, like, parenting there? Or are the parents as screwed up? You know, like, do you think she comes from a well adjusted family?
Sebastian Maniscalco
She's a pretty girl, too. I've seen pictures.
John
I don't say anything about her looks. I'm just saying, like, if Sadie said that to you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right, right.
John
Would you go, oh, okay. No, that sounds good.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's crazy. It's crazy. I mean, I was thinking that same thing when I saw her being interviewed and saying she's trying to sleep with a thousand men. She's saying most of them she doesn't even remember. Not that she doesn't remember them. Like she's drunk, but just. She zones it out. But, like, either dad's not alive or if he did, if he is alive and you talk to him, Dad's like, listen, every time I try to talk to her, she bangs two more guys. So I don't know what to do. Yeah.
John
I gotta flip it over. Like, where's the parents? On the other side of that. Like, the men. Like, when the son comes home for Thanksgiving. Right? And they're like, so what have you been up to? And then he goes, well, I was one of the thousand that slept with that girl. I mean, like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I mean, maybe to not tell mom. Yeah, but like, why would a guy want to do that either? That's what I don't understand. You know, she's messed up. You know, and then there's been all these guys prior to you. I mean, the only one who could brag about that is the guy who went first, you know?
John
Oh, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
John
So we. We got a listener that you said that you wanted to get into that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, it's not a listener, but I gotta get that piece of paper I threw. I just like to give credit for whoever sent it because it was kind of a cool thing. But Patrick is going to get that up. Somebody sent us, which I thought was so cool. They got a hold of Sinatra's backstage rider from back in the day.
John
Oh, yeah, let's see that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And this is from Ryan Ryan Campbell sent this, so. Thank you. Ryan. Check this out. I'll tell you right now. You see this thing? Sinatra wasn't doing no transcendental meditation. You want to read them, Patrick? Frank Sinatra. Dressing room contents.
John
There's 37. So Pete, pick out the ones that you think are, like, unbelievable.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, well, the first one. The first four are. Are pretty cool to me right out of the gate. Color TV with second input for in house pickup. Upright piano is number two for the dressing room, I guess. What is that? Warm up, bro. And private telephone with a dedicated line. And then this is number four. Is just beautiful one. But ready for this, folks? One bottle each of Absolut vodka, Jack Daniels, Shivas Regal. Is that how you pronounce that? How do you pronounce the fourth one? Corsovo. How do you pronounce that?
John
Corsovo.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Courvoisier. Okay.
John
Corsovo. It's a. It's a house. It's a. It's a city. In where. Where's Kosovo?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Kosovo. All right. How quickly we forget. Somebody misspelled similar like 5 minutes ago. But all right. Then we got a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, and a bottle of beef feed and gin.
Pete Corrielli
Between that and the piano.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think Sinatra had parties in the green room. Like full on parties, man.
John
Definitely.
Pete Corrielli
But then, bro, then number seven or eight is a.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is a fruit bowl. Like, well, what is he having?
Pete Corrielli
Like, grapes in between.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, it doesn't make sense. Like, what's he doing back here? A gallon of spring water for tea. 12 wine glasses, six rock glasses.
Pete Corrielli
A double burner hot plate.
Sebastian Maniscalco
A double burner hot plate. What is he making? Grilled cheese sandwiches, bro.
Pete Corrielli
This guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Look at it. Look at number, bro, read number 35. How beautiful is that?
John
One cart carton of Camels. No filter.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Jesus God. That's what, 20 in a pack? 10x200 cigarettes. This guy. Six boxes of Kleenex.
John
I'm reading this over bowl of pretzel, bro. I'm liking the 12 rolls of cherry lifesavers. That sounds like a nice touch, that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, that reminds me of how they always have three of those. What do you call those? Suckables. They always have them on the stool for you right before you go out halls. Yeah. Speaking of which, I want to do a side note here. You tend to have an avocado in your green room.
John
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now, correct me if I'm wrong. I felt like this was going down. This was last year. One night we're on the road because I've been very Respectful of all. The whole process. We were doing a show and I was starving, and you were on stage, and I was like, what? Does he have anything in there? And I went in there, and you had this avocado. And I'm like, yeah, that's fucking. I touched. It was soft. Let me eat that. Because I'm like, he's on stage, and I know when he gets off, he motors right out of here. So what I didn't think about was it was a place we were playing. We had a show there the next night, and then the next night, I think there was a hubbub about where was my avocado? I felt like you were looking for an avocado. And then they were like, I thought I put one in there. And I'm like, I think. I think I hear the girls talking about the avocado. So can you tell us a little bit more about the avocado? It just seems like it's as random as some of the Sinatra's things, which I also want to get to another one on that list, which was unbelievable.
John
I also have turkey meat in there and, like, a little tortilla. So sometimes I make an avocado and turkey sandwich with the avocado. Right? Or sometimes if I'm feeling low on energy, I'll just open up the avocado, put a little salt on it, and just eat the. I could. I could hear you typing in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, me too. When I rented a car. Jesus. Are you gonna upgrade me.
John
Bro? I didn't even see this. Number 12 on Sinatra's list. What? Three cans of Campbell's chicken and rice soup. This guy's eating soup.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'd love to know that. The Campbell's soup, Like, is that, like, for the driver? Like, the guy, the bus.
John
Here's one. Two bars of Ivory Soap. What's that?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's the one I wanted to see. That's a man right there, bro. I love Ivory soap. It's the only soap I've ever used that when I'm showering. I'll. I'll hold. You ever just take the bar and I put it under my nose like it's cocaine. Like, oh, God. Love the smell of Ivory soap, bro.
John
Oh, my God. I never done that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You've never done that?
John
No.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God. But the problem with Ivory soap is, I mean, the eczema comes out like, insane. You buy Ivory soap, I gotta lather up, which I haven't touched Ivory soap in years. I can only use Dove on my skin. Sinatra was such a man. This guy's drinking hard liquor, showering with Ivory soap. He's probably using it as shampoo.
Pete Corrielli
Smoking a carton a day.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is not the, this is not the. This is nothing like Seinfeld's TM Rider, I'm sure.
John
No, no, bro, I'm looking at six white bath towels. How many people are showering in this place?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know, man. I think Sinatra's got a show at 8:00. I think he gets there at like 6:30 in the morning. Oh God.
John
Anyway, yeah, that's, that's a, that's. That's. I might have to steal some of this stuff off his writer just for the hell of it. Just to pay homage. Two chicken salad sandwiches. And this guy, this guy was thin as a rail, right? I would be 280 pounds if I had this in my dressing room every night.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know, I don't know, maybe like soup and sandwich.
John
Is it a diner?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Maybe you're in Cleveland and he's like, I want some soup. And then the next night you're somewhere else and he's like, you know, I'd love a chicken salad salmon, you know, so, you know, you never know which one Frank is going to want. So we make sure we have them. All the booze, man, it's a lot of booze.
John
Well, talking about food and I thought this was kind of an odd thing and maybe I'm just. When we go to eat at our shows, right at 5 o'clock, me, you and John, we meet down and we eat. But then I see you and him take to go trace.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Not always, but once in a while. Yeah.
John
I gotta tell you, I was with John and I go, you gonna eat that like in a couple hours? He goes, no, I'm going to eat it tomorrow for the. Tomorrow. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, bro. What's your take on to go from the cafeteria?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, here's the problem, old man. That it when we go to eat, it's very close to the time I'm gonna go on stage. So I hate to go up there with my. No matter what I eat, my stomach comes out. So if you see, I usually have a salad with you, but then when I come off, I go in my room and I eat. Cause then it's closed. Then it's. By the time I get off is when it's closed.
John
Yeah, no, I get that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But I've taken sweets, I've taken sweets back to the 4C. Not only that, I'll give you an example. You'll get a kick out of this. We were in Denver and they had yogurts, right? And I'm like, I'm gonna want a yogurt tomorrow in the morning at the Denver airport. I'm gonna take this now. So I take it to the Four Seasons. I get to the Four Seasons, I open up their little liquor cabinet thing. There's no room to put my two yogurts, and their booze is at the Four Seasons, which is really not cool. If you even lift the bottle off, you know that you get charged for it. So I delicately balanced my two yogurts on top of a bottle of gin and a top of vodka. Little bottles, right? And then I closed the thing and I heard. And I'm like. And I opened it up and the vodka flipped down. So I picked up my yogurt, I put the vodka back, and I balanced it again. I closed it again. I'm like, probably set it off. But Lindsay sends me an email yesterday. Did you have a bottle of vodka for 18.99? She'll show you the email. I wrote back, no, but I put my two yogurts on top, and one of them knocked the bottle off and probably charged it. But I just. That I didn't take any booze. And I go, and here's the kicker. I forgot my yogurts in the morning. Anyway, so she's like, I didn't think so. Like, yeah. So I'm not. I'm taking stuff too, you know? Cause, you know, no, bro, you got bananas sitting at dinner. And then the next day, I get to the airport and I'm like, I'd love a banana. 350 for a banana. I'm like, they were right there. That's the. That's the process. That's the thought process. Take your time. Tm it. Tm it. Be patient with me. Okay. Thank you. That's so fucking good. What's up?
John
I can't see. Take it. Fine. You want to take an apple or whatever? Like, you know, I can't see taking halibut. And to your point, there's nowhere to store this. You're taking halibut out of the room and then you're eating what, that refrigerated in 14 hours?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, you know, when John. He's probably smoking it in the bathroom. Somehow he knows some way to smoke that. I mean, who knows what's going on with him? Yeah, no, there's ways around it. One thing I'll say about the Four Seasons is they have usually have an ice place on every floor so you can Makeshift. In your sink in your kitchen, in your sink in the bathroom. Put your stuff in the sink and then get ice and dump it on there, and it becomes its own cool.
John
Oh, yeah. I'm not. What the fuck?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's how he's keeping the house. What? Hey, bro. You know what I mean.
John
Also, I want to point out something that was extremely awkward for me, and you have to work on this. You have to work on this. Uh. Oh, we were at the cafeteria, and clumsily, you give me money hidden in your hand, and you're trying to slip it under my. What the fuck, bro? What kind of handoff? I don't know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It was in my pocket, and I didn't want to forget about it.
John
I know, but it was like. I thought you were having a seizure. You came over the table, and you're like. And I'm like, what is. What is this, Eddie? Like, oh, no, it's for the last night for dinner. I got this. That how you. This how you present it? What do we.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know. That was. I was. That was tacky. That was very tacky.
John
I appreciated the gesture, but we got to work on.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It was.
John
We got to work on your delivery, bro. The delivery and the handoff of that was so awkward. I was like, God damn it look like a. Almost like a. Like cockroach land.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What are you gonna do? You're gonna go? You're gonna go? Yeah.
John
Thanks.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Put it in your pocket. Like. Like, it's ridiculous.
John
Even if I wanted to take it the way it was given to me, I was like, get the. Get this away from me. It just came over so weird. And then your hand. The way your hand was positioned, I'm like, I can't.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, man.
John
Yeah. All right, listen, sorry, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I owe you. I definitely.
John
That's okay. That's okay. Let's work on that for the next handoff. Number two. Gotta go here. I got an appointment, but it was fun. Hang. Thanks for sharing the Sinatra list. Gonna incorporate some of that into the. Into the. To the.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, man. Imagine I was in his green room. The stuff I could take back to the room after.
John
You would be. You'd have a full alcohol cabinet.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right at you, bro.
John
All right, take care. Just play nice. Let us be together tonight.
Casey Kasem
The show has ended.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
John
You want there to be so much love there that Jackie dies, too?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, listen, not like that same day, but. Yeah. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. My fear is the opposite. She's gonna blossom.

Podcast Summary: The Pete and Sebastian Show - Episode 641: "Reasonable Requests"
Release Date: February 11, 2025
Hosts: Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco
Description: Two A-list comedians, Pete Correelli and Sebastian Maniscalco, collaborate weekly to deliver a tight comedy radio show filled with stories and comedic bits.
The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the nuances of virus transmission, particularly focusing on whether children's viruses differ from those affecting adults. John raises an intriguing question about the nature of kid-specific viruses versus those adults might contract when exposed to sick children.
John: "...do you think that the kid virus is different flu than if, say, you..." [04:20]
Sebastian: "I feel like the same way your kids can't physically beat you up. Their viruses can't take your immune systems." [05:24]
The conversation evolves into the incubation periods of various illnesses. John shares specific data:
Sebastian adds personal anecdotes about dealing with undercooked turkey and the unpredictable nature of foodborne illnesses, drawing a parallel to viral infections.
Both hosts share personal stories that highlight their encounters with illnesses and their perceptions of immune resilience.
John: "My kids are so much stronger than I was at their age. She basically threw up on the floor..." [09:04]
Sebastian: "The body was built to... otherwise we wouldn't be able to parent, right?" [05:52]
These narratives underscore the comedic yet relatable struggles of managing family health and personal well-being.
A poignant segment delves into the emotional depth of animals, specifically horses, mourning their dead peers. Sebastian recounts a touching story about two horses and the lengths one goes to cope with the loss of its companion.
This story serves as a metaphor for human relationships and the profound impact of companionship, leading Sebastian to express a humorous yet heartfelt fear about his own legacy.
Transitioning to a more contemporary issue, the hosts explore how platforms like Instagram shape and sometimes dictate personal actions.
John: "Have you heard about the woman who slept with over a thousand men? Did she do that specifically to get hits on her Instagram page...?" [36:03]
Sebastian: "If I think about it, yeah..." [33:13]
They discuss whether such extreme behaviors are driven by genuine intentions or merely by the desire for social media validation, questioning the authenticity and motivations behind online personas.
A highlight of the episode is the introduction of a listener-submitted Sinatra backstage rider. Sebastian and Pete dissect the eclectic list of items Sinatra requested, blending humor with curiosity.
Sebastian: "Frank Sinatra’s dressing room contents included a bottle each of Absolut vodka, Jack Daniels, Shivas Regal..." [38:43]
John: "Two bars of Ivory Soap. What's that?" [40:57]
This segment not only provides comedic material but also offers listeners a glimpse into the extravagant and idiosyncratic demands of a legendary performer.
Throughout the episode, the chemistry between Pete and Sebastian shines as they engage in light-hearted banter, share personal mishaps, and navigate awkward social situations.
John: "I thought you were having a seizure. You came over the table, and you're like..." [50:59]
Sebastian: "I know. That was tacky. That was very tacky." [51:30]
These interactions add a layer of relatability and humor, keeping the audience entertained with genuine and often self-deprecating humor.
Sebastian Maniscalco: "I feel like the same way your kids can't physically beat you up. Their viruses can't take your immune systems." [05:24]
Sebastian Maniscalco: "I want my wife to crumble into a fucking ball a week after me..." [16:36]
John: "Fever greater than 101.5. Headache, muscle pain, weakness. I might have all four of those right now." [12:05]
Sebastian Maniscalco: "If I think about it, yeah..." [33:13]
Pete Corrielli: "We make excuses. I'm too busy..." [30:03]
