This podcast is brought to you by Aura. Imagine waking up to find your bank account drained, bills for loans you never took out, a warrant for your arrest. All because someone committed a crime in your name. It sounds like a nightmare, but for millions of people each year, it's reality. And here's the scariest part. By the time companies tell you your data was stolen, it's already been nearly a year. 277 days. That's how long on average hackers have to use your Social Security number, open accounts, take out loans, and destroy your credit before you even know you've been exposed. By the time you get that breach notification email, the damage is done. Your identity stolen, your financial future at risk, and the company that lost your data. They'll just apologize and move on. Hackers Aren't waiting. Why are you? This can all sound really scary, which is why I'm so glad we're partnering with Aura. Hackers don't wait, so why should you? Aura monitors the dark web 247 for your phone number, email and Social Security number because the moment they show up for sale, criminals are ready to use them. If Aura detects your info, you'll get an instant alert. So so you can act before the damage is done. What if your identity is already stolen? Criminals can take out loans, max out credit cards and banish. That's why Aura provides up to $5 million in identity theft insurance and a US based fraud resolution team that works around the clock to shut down fraud fast and get your life back on track. Your personal data is a goldmine for hackers and Aura helps lock it down with a VPN for private browsing data broker opt out to stop companies from selling your info and a password manager to help secure your accounts. Aura gives you the tools to fight back. For a limited time, Aura is offering our listeners a 14 day trial plus a check of your data to see if your personal information has been leaked online.

This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco. I'll never give up Sebastian Show. Welcome back everybody. Episode I don't even know it looks like. I mean I don't. Depending on how things are going, we're staring down the barrel of a thousand. Thousand down the line or not, I don't know. But we're here today. Excited to be here, off the road for a couple of days. What is up, bro? Are you happy to be home? You've been gone how long were you on the road? Because I was able to go home a little bit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
13 days. It's a Tuesday. Tuesday morning here in Los Angeles. And based on what I'm seeing in the viewfinder here.
Pete Corrielli
Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You haven't had the time to get a haircut.
Pete Corrielli
Is it that bad? I'm going tomorrow. It's all set with my lady, Jen.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. Yeah, it needs a trim.
Pete Corrielli
I'll just have to do this then.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I don't like it. No. Now get it off.
Pete Corrielli
Shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No. You know why? Because it covers the. Covers the eyes and then screwed up. I'm just saying at the end of this 13 day run, I was looking at the entire group, we looked like shit.
Pete Corrielli
We were run down, you guys.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It was a complete rundown. I mean at that last night, man, it was. I got on the plane and didn't sleep, but maybe for an hour. So I was operating. You know what the problem is? I come back off the road and I try and be super dad, super husband, the whole thing. I jump right back into it. I had three hours of sleep. And I want to ask you, and I don't know if we've covered this over the last eight years we've been doing this, but is St Patrick's Day a thing with Sadie? Does a leprechaun show up to the house?
Pete Corrielli
It's on my list. And not that so much as a thing, but you know, I'm half Irish. My daughter's got some Irish in her. Not even a text. Little disappointed, little thrown by that, bro. Thought you'd send me a happy, happy St. Pat's know you got a little Irish blood in you. Nothing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, bro, this ain't.
Pete Corrielli
I'm kidding. I really didn't expect that. But I ain't busting your balls, but we did. Yeah, No, I Mean, a little bit. Sadie wears the green T shirt, put on little green hats. But Jackie made a fantastic, you know, corned beef with the, with the cabbage and the potatoes and the carrots. Totally, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I've always had a disdain for St. Patrick's Day, so.
Pete Corrielli
And so does my dad. Because you're all Italian. 100% Italians look down on that. Like. Like a, you know, bad fruit. Like, who eats that? Somebody eats that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's nothing against the Irish. I just. I don't like the color green. It bothers me, bro. I'm sorry.
Pete Corrielli
It's a. Well, it's a big day in Boston, I'll tell you that much, man. Oh, yeah, that's where we. That's the. More we started out. But my dad is all Italian, my mom's all Irish, so she would always be into it, always wearing green, always have us in green. And my dad would be like, oh, I would this shit, you know, like. But he wouldn't eat the. We wouldn't eat the food. My mom, you know, didn't really make that kind of food. But yeah, Long Island, a lot of Irish people, it gets, you know, it's like, it's a young person's game, I feel. You know what I mean?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. I mean, I grew up in Chicago. They painted the river green. I just felt like everybody was out and about at a bar at 12 o'clock in the. In the afternoon, right. I never got into it. But anyway, my wife, apparently a leprechaun shows up during the night. You know, it's like, here we go, you know, with the elf on the shelf. Now there's a leprechaun. He's got the footprints on the toilet seat. I had the green footprints on the toilet seat that he left. And there was green piss in the toilet. Hey.
Pete Corrielli
That'S funny.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And then Lana goes in in the middle of the night and she puts a little green mustache with marker on the kids, you know, face. So they wake up and they got a green. They got a green mustache. So the leprechaun was up to no good, right?
Pete Corrielli
Wow, that's pretty heavy to be like, to wake up and like, have been drawn on. You weren't even drunk, like passed out drunk, just sleeping.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So anyway, I woke up to all that commotion in the morning. The kids were excited.
Pete Corrielli
Three hours.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Three hours half blind, getting out of bed, take the kids to school. Then what did I do?
Pete Corrielli
Wow, that's like. That's like driving drunk. 3 hours of sleep after 13 days on the road. 3 hours sleep in a Different time zone. Now you're driving your kids, right? You may. You should have just slammed a pint of fucking vodka before you got behind the wheel. I'm telling you, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Might as well. Because going through yesterday, God, I have to actually look at what I did yesterday to give you kind of a flavor of what was happening here at the house on a Monday. So I took them to school. Oh, here, here. This is what it was. My wife goes, it's International Food Day at the school. Kids want us to go. I said, what is that? They said, oh, they make food from all the different countries. And the kids take a plate and they sample all these different foods. And Seraphina Crusoe, like, are you coming? I said, yeah, no, I'll be there. Right? So we go, what time is that? Drop the kids off at 8. Come back home. Gotta go back to school at 11. Right?
Pete Corrielli
Are we just. Is everybody just pretending that, like, you know, you didn't get three hours of sleep and then you got in the middle of the night, like, hey, when.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When the kid. When the kids. When you haven't been there in 13 days and your daughter goes, are you coming at International Food Day?
Pete Corrielli
You're going, oh, yeah. When your daughter says that. Yeah, absolutely. I forgot. I thought you mean just. Your wife said it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, she said it too. I didn't know what was going on. I'm like, all right. So we go, walk into the school, they're like, hey, here for International Food Day? Yeah. All right, grab your apron. Apron. I go to line. I go, what? Yeah, just sign in, grab your name. Name, name, day. What are we doing? I'm working the international.
Pete Corrielli
That's it. With that attitude. You're gonna be on dishes guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, So I go along. I go, I thought this was like a parent thing. You hang out with your kid while they eat some dim sum. I didn't think.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah, I thought you would. Ate a sample and chat.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what I was. I was going in, going, this is gonna be a 40 minute tops hang out. Kids got. Oh, what do you got? Some shushuka from Forever.
Pete Corrielli
I envision like a light walk through Epcot. That's what I thought we were going to do.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's exactly what I thought I was in for. Next you know, I'm in an apron.
Pete Corrielli
There you go.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And the first tent we hit, the woman goes to Lana. Oh, thank God you're here. Do you want to relieve me at noon? It's 11:15. Noon, noon. I'm gonna be at home.
Pete Corrielli
Right, right, Relieve me means I relieve you if you need to go take a piss. That's my. You know, what you're saying. Sounds like you want me to start a whole new shift, and not for another 45 minutes. I'll go back to the lunchroom and finish my fucking sandwich, and then I'll come back out here, bro. Three hours sleep, already dropped a kid off. Thirteen days on the road. This is like a blur. It's all got to be a blur. It might not even happen. It might have been a dream. It was end of the story. He's going to be like, you know, And I woke up, and it was time for dinner. It was unbelievable.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm walking around with an untied apron. The apron's too small. I can't even tie it. So Lana's like, what, do you want me to tie it? I go, it don't fit.
Pete Corrielli
I. I go.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I ain't clocking in for a shift at the French Laundry here with the apron. All right, all right. I want the apron to be. I literally walking around, and it's like a bib hanging off my front. Front side. I feel like if I. If I tie it, then they're gonna. Somebody's gonna come up to me and go, hey, we need help on the Italian station, by the way, International Food Day. Let's just put up an Italian tent. The Italian. The Italian tent packed, right? The kids couldn't get enough, right?
Pete Corrielli
But I gotta say, I don't know how we're doing with fresh fish at the Children's International Market. But if we get some fresh fish. I'm never averse to sushi, too, man. They give you a run for your money. I mean, like. But I could have pasta every day of my life till I burst. I can have sushi on Mondays and Thursdays, you know?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, sushi is. It was represented, right? And that was very Pot.
Pete Corrielli
By an Asian child. Do they do that? Are they leaning into that? Like, was your kid doing pots?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't even. I don't. I don't know. I didn't even see. I just saw the sushi. I didn't even see the sushi tent. I just saw people had sushi. Wow. By the way, here's something. And I mentioned this to my wife last night. Sushi is a food, right? That you never say, hey, the Fitzgeralds are cooking on Tuesday night. They're making sushi. You never go over to somebody's house and they're rolling a spicy tuna roll, right? I've never seen anybody make homemade Sushi, right?
Pete Corrielli
It's. The Fitzgerald's are, like you said, making this or making that. When it comes to sushi, it's getting, they're getting sushi, you know what I'm saying? It's never me, bro. It's like, sushi's like surgery. You just, you don't fuck with it. You don't with it. There's professionals. You let them do it. It's any game.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, that's, that's how sophisticated the Japanese culture is that you. You can't even cook their food.
Pete Corrielli
No, no. I mean, you don't even. I don't even see it on Food Network. Like some guy named, hey, I'm Larry, we're gonna make some sushi. Bobby Flay doesn't even fuck with that. I've never seen Bobby Flay try to make a tuna roll, have you? I'd love to see it. Can we get that on video? Coryelli, what's up, man? Bobby Flay here. You are correct. I do not fuck with sushi.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I want to see if sushi has ever been made out and tv.
Pete Corrielli
By not Asian, I mean by the Asian again. A sushi chef watching a medical documentary. I even said to Jackie once, you know, because she'd take this with this and that. She's even made homemade bread, homemade pasta. I was like, well, yeah, let me try sushi. And she's like, oh God, no, you can't. It's just too hard. You can't do that. I'm like, oh, Jesus, right? What the. Thanks to ZocDoc for sponsoring this episode. Have you ever been to a dentist.

This podcast is brought to you by Aura. By the time you hear about a data breach, your information has already been exposed. On average, companies take 277 days to report a breach. That's nine months where hackers have access to your personal data. Your name, address, phone number, even your Social Security number before you even know it's out there. Think about it. Nine months is enough time for criminals to open accounts in your name, rack up debt and disappear. All while you're left dealing with the mess. And when the company finally tells you it's too late, the damage is already done. Data breaches aren't slowing down, they're getting bigger. And the delays in reporting them aren't helping.

Pete Corrielli
Have you ever dabbled?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I've never dabbled. I mean I, I, we bought the bamboo. You know that bamboo that you twirl the thing in like for Christmas, you know, like it's an oh, we're gonna make sushi. Yeah, it's still in the box somewhere in the cupboard. No one's touching.
Pete Corrielli
Next to all the presents I've got you through the years over there in that box.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, that's at the nannies.
Pete Corrielli
She's got. She's got Good Times rolling with the. I sent her record player. Karaoke.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I got the record player. I got the karaoke. The only thing is the wings. The wings. I don't know. That was. That was. I tell you, that's hanging on a fence at my housekeeper.
Pete Corrielli
I know, I know. You told me that. I know. Did you get your doomy bed?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I donated it to somebody who needs a bed.
Pete Corrielli
Hey, I could have used a double. I only have one. Donate it this way next time. I got a double doomie.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We donated it to somebody like that from the fires. We donated it.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, that's nice. Well, all right, all right. Don't even, guy. Don't even go down that path. That's what you do when you get stuff. You try it. I know you're about to make fun of me, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm a little bothered by the. Like, they just like. I'll take it all, you know, like this whole attitude of, like, Jody, bro. No.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, my God. On my grave. It's a joke. I wanted to bust your balls. Of course I'm not gonna do it. A double doobie. It was a joke.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, no, no, no. That you took the bed. Oh, yeah.
Pete Corrielli
I know you have a problem with that. That's what the whole deal is supposed to try and say. It's great.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Try. Who tries out of bed to say you try. You try wine. You don't try a bed.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah, listen, the only. First of all, we went with the daybed. Oh, God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Went through the catalog.
Pete Corrielli
I can't breathe. Holy. Oh, God, yes. You make me laugh so hard, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corrielli
You went through the catalog? Oh, my God. I can't even breathe, man. It's like stubbing my toe. I knew I was about to die, and I did. Listen, believe it or not, one of the hotels that we stayed out on the It Ain't Right tour had a thumi. Because I was checking it out, because I was like, look at this the way. Oh, I'm sorry. I take that back. Those friends of ours that live out in Rochester, in their guest house where we stayed, they had a thumy bed. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right, but Jackie said, I remember last summer, she goes, oh, is this one of them thoom beds? I've seen them, how they handcraft them. And the woman's like, oh, God. Yeah, we Love it. It's really cool. We're getting them put in the other guest house. And then this thing came up and I'm like, hey, Jack, we're doing a read for the Tommy. So let's. Let's get the catalog and grab one of these puppies. There's one each. And I literally said, I got to make sure Sebastian knows about this. A lot of times he doesn't see this stuff. He should get one of these. It would be great for, like, the guest house or something, but apparently not.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So.
Pete Corrielli
So that's my explanation.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Have you tried it?
Pete Corrielli
No, that's. No, it's in the box.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So it's going in a guest room?
Pete Corrielli
Eventually. Yeah, eventually it's going in a guest room downstairs. Yeah. But we'll wait until the. Some other things get done. Yeah, can't wait. It looks great. It's a fantastic piece of furniture. Thoomy. And I would imagine if you add the cast at the end, you'll get a discount. Seems to be in every ad. Ready? Oh, God.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so, yeah, so I'm at this. I'm at this event and I'm walking around with an apron, and I feel like, all right, let me make an effort here. So there's a woman ladling out, like, chicken, and she's holding a. Like a one and a half year old kid, and she's ladling out that. I'm thinking, this woman's volunteering. And I'm walking around shelter.
Pete Corrielli
I'm sorry, guys.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I tap her. I go, you look like you're having a hard time. I could do this. She goes, no, no, no, I'm good. I said, all right, I'm done. That's it. You give. I give you one offering. All right? I go to the person who looks like they're having an issue, and they shoo me away. I said, lana, wrap it up. Let's get in the car. It's over how you wear your apron during this, right?
Pete Corrielli
It's already dangling.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I got the. So I took the apron off after that, and our kids came down and they're. Oh, daddy, look at. They got this, they got that. Oh, yeah, you know, get some food and what have you. So we stayed about 40 minutes. We took off now, got back here. Then what did I do? Hold on, I gotta look to see what I did after that. I'm only telling you what I'm doing because it was a. Oh. Oh, God. Now I had to go back. I had to take Lana back home. Went back to the school, picked up Seraphina. Early to take her to the orthodontist. So her and I went to the orthodontist together. Right after the orthodontist, I went over and took her to piano. In the meantime, while she's at piano, I went shopping because it's burger night. I went get the burger, meat the buns. And then I picked her up.
Pete Corrielli
From.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Piano, went home to cook the burgers. Wow. At this point, I almost fell into the fucking pan. Right? I was gone.
Pete Corrielli
That's unbelievable. That reminds me of the Ray Liotto monologue in Goodfell's. Then I left my brother home to keep stirring the sauce. Well, I went back to Pittsburgh to get the bag.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, that's what it was.
Pete Corrielli
This is crazy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Then put him. Put him to bed. And then, you know, Lana's like, you wanna watch White Lotus? We've been watching White Lotus. I said, yeah, put it on. So we had like a half hour to watch on an episode. And I shut it off. Literally. Woke up. I went to bed at 9. I woke up at about 6:30 and.
Pete Corrielli
Nice, it's a good run.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I got some sleep in. But, my God, it was. It was a long day yesterday. Long day, bro. Yeah. Yeah, man, that's a long day.
Pete Corrielli
No sleep. I can't even believe you hung in for 20 minutes of white Lotus. I mean, I've been watching that too. It's a good show, but I don't even think a white line could keep me up after fucking that day, man. What episode are you on?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I finished three last night.
Pete Corrielli
Okay. I think that's what me and Jackie just finished too. It's like right around that same time, I can't remember what's particularly. I like that one guy with the black hair who's slicked back. You know, it looks like. Almost like he reminds me like a young Bruce Dern or something.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know that guy Walter Goggins. I think you're talking long hair.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah, he's with that woman with the interesting teeth. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, something happens in episode five. I read about that. Like, could literally make me turn it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Off, but let's not talk about it. That's the problem with these shows. If you don't consume them all at once, you'll start hearing, like, little blibs on Yahoo or whatever news sources you go to. And you go, it was a headline. And I think it's the headline I might have read. Incest.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm sorry. I'm like, you. I. I read that too. And I'm like, do I want to Continue, bro.
Pete Corrielli
Not only do I not want to view that if I was in charge of the writing room and a writer presented that he'd be fired. I'm like, that's disgusting. Pack your fucking cubicle. Get out of here, you sick bastard. You sick son of a bitch.

Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm on a mission, a mission impossible, if you will. And I need your help. We're getting Tom Cruise on this show. Okay, now, something came in. Did you see that? Some fan says some fan page James Vargo.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, is that what you're talking about?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corrielli
I'm so great you got that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Some fan came in, like, runs a fan page. And I don't know, I read the email, but I didn't. I didn't necessarily understand it if he's going to try and get Tom Cruise or.
Pete Corrielli
I know who you're talking about.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so could you give me some color on this?
Pete Corrielli
Well, this guy, his name is James Vargo, huge fan of this cast, and he's been for years. He's a retired police officer, fantastic gentleman. I never met him or anything. And he started a Facebook fan page for the cast, all things cast related. And it's up to 8,000 people. And they get on, they talk and they say nice things and it's unbelievably. I got involved once and chatted with them, but it's really nice what they do. And he makes all these memes and photos, funny things. After you and I will do something, then there'll be a photo that he makes of us. And he just enjoys it. He's like you get to be my age, you're looking for fun things to do that you enjoy. Like I said, he loves the cast. So, anyway, in closing, he wrote that great letter and he sent it to. What is the contact that he could find for Tom Cruise? In the letter, he admits. In the email, he admits, I doubt this is even going to reach anyone remotely close to Tom Cruise. But in case it does. And then he lists how funny we are, how much we like Tom Cruise, and how he needs to come on our cast. And I was like, man, I pre. Oh. And how there's 8,000 people to this. To this subscribership, and we're all rooting for this to happen. You know, I don't know Tom Cruise, what it takes to make him. Make. Make stuff happen for you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, I'll tell you what. Tell you what I'm doing on my side.
Pete Corrielli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I got my sister working on a compilation of all the times that we've talked about Tom Cruise on this show. And it's going to be a sizzle reel. It's going to be like a trailer. And I'm going to get this trailer into Tom Cruise's hands. And he's got a movie coming out May 20, something the. The Mission Impossible movie. You know, I know we're not the Joe Rogan Show. I know we're not Call Her Daddy or anything like that. However. Mm. If he could just wet our beak a little bit. I'm not looking even for a full hour with this guy. I'm looking for me and you be doing the cast in person. And just Tom Cruise sits down and we do a rapid fire with him. Now, my question to you is, if we get Tom Cruise to come and do the cast, how many people do you think he comes with? Or do you think Tom Cruise shows up on a motorcycle by himself? What's your take?
Pete Corrielli
Well, none of the above. We discussed this before. I think you're gonna feel the whole house rumble, a light breeze, and then you're going to look out back and he's going to be landing in a fucking helicopter by himself, you know, maybe yelling down, get away from the blades, kids. Get away from the blades. Truly, truly. Though no one knowing the stories we've heard from him. If he has a place in LA and he only makes it happen because he's heard, he's kind of moved by it, he's going to be in la, I would think helicopter, but this is. Listen, I mean, we don't talk about this enough, but when Andy Garcia came in, that was like that was one of the greatest freaking moments in my life, in my career, as far as fun and awesomeness.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So it's going to happen.
Pete Corrielli
I just don't see. I don't see. Tom. My dream is that we get good news and bad news from Tom Cruise. This is my dream, and it's a video and we gotta play it. And he goes, why don't you guys play this on the cast? And we play it. Guys, I'm sorry. I got a lot going on. It's just. No way I'm gonna be able to get out there. But I appreciate it. And Sebastian, I love that sizzle. How about this? How about you guys come out here next Saturday and the three of us take the dune buggies out into the desert and we hang out all day and I'll show you guys, you know, some other stuff that you never seen. As Pete would say, Tommy C. Do. Oh, my God. My daughter could be getting married on that Saturday and I still blow it off.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I like your idea. I like your idea. Although I'm getting this guy in here in two months. It's my mission.
Pete Corrielli
That would be insane.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I had a goal. I had a goal. I don't know if I told you this goal on the cast. I might have told you in private, but one of my goals for next year was to host the Oscars, right? Did I tell you this?
Pete Corrielli
No.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. That was one of my goals. Told Lana, I go, fuck it. I'm going to host this Oscars, right? That went to shit yesterday. Conan O'Brien's already doing it. So in place of that, all my energy is going to be focused now on getting Tom Cruise on this goddamn show. All right? So if I can't host the Oscars, I'm going to host Tom Cruise here at the house. My question to you, though, because I. I'm going to make this happen. I could see it in the cards. I could see him coming in with the hair, like in glasses, sitting down, maybe with a. With a leather jacket on, white T shirt. What do you. What do you get Tom Cruise for? Thank you. Like a parting gift. What do you. What do you get them?
Pete Corrielli
A cast T shirt. And be like, if you could skydive with this one time, that would be really fantastic. I mean, what else do you get them? Unless you got a fucking rocket ship in your back pocket.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, maybe we give them a thumb bed.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, shit. I still got mine in a box. I can get a chip wherever it's got to go.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So it's. It's. It's on here. It's documented. We're getting this guy to come on, I don't think. And, Patrick, you could back me up on this with a search. I don't think this guy's ever did a podcast. It would be. It would be beneath his ilk, you know, like, he always keeps it like, you know, he does a movie, he goes out, he does the major Good Morning America, whatever the major ones are, and that's it.
Pete Corrielli
This guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't even think this guy's been on Joe Rogan. Right? But since we've talked about this guy for the last eight years, I feel it's a great fit that he comes in. I mean, we've even had people come in, talk about working with him, right? I mean, Jake.
Pete Corrielli
Quite a few.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, Jake Grillo. Grillo. Was it Grillo? Did he work with him or.
Pete Corrielli
Spade had a great story at a restaurant. The movies came out the same day. Jay Moore had the story about racing with him. Yeah, Jake had a great story about, you know, tried to say no to a Tom Cruise movie. That didn't happen. You know what I'm saying? I tell you, though, dude, you know, I saw a video of him in some foreign country recently, and, like, a soldier coming up to him with a big smile and like, to say hi and get a selfie. Like a soldier in some foreign country. My point is, this guy is so famous, you should try to just refocus on hosting next year's Oscars. That seems a little more important. Doable, I mean, bro, I think. I think Tom Cruise decides whether or not he wants to meet the Pope, not the other way around. Like, the Pope has inquired, and Tom Cruise says if I film. I think we're shooting part of our next Mission Impossible in Rome. I'll try to do a Popeye. No promises.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, now that you bring that up right, why don't you tell the listeners who you met in Brooklyn backstage. Maybe if we don't get Tom. Maybe if we don't get Tom Cruise, we get her.
Pete Corrielli
Okay, so long story short, folks, and we gotta. I'm not gonna say names on the air, but I gotta reach back out to Mazilli because this woman is very close with our close friend and your previous manager, Chris Mazzilli, who owns Gotham Comedy Club. I'm doing some benefit for them, and they wanted to say hello before you. Barclay's show at the arena in Brooklyn. So I met them backstage. Her, her husband and their daughter. You know, she's an adult. She's a lovely young lady, great family. And we're chatting, and she knows about the cast her daughter listens to, and she's. She says, you know, talk about the Pope. I could tell you anything you want to know about the Pope. I work with the Pope, you know. What do you mean, you work with the Pope? And then the daughter's like, mom, you more than work with him. She sleeps there. She sleeps in the Vatican. She's like, I do. My husband's been there. Like, I work in his. All media. Everything media for him. I help him run it and keep, you know, manage what's going on. And she literally was explaining how, like, at the Vatican, when they go to have a meal, you go into, like, the Vatican sort of, like cafeteria room. And just, like, you would, like, you know, when you're making a TV show on a studio lot, I'm adding this part. And, you know, they have the area where everybody eats you. She's like, you could just. If you're in there, you could just go right up right next to the Pope. When he goes up to get a salad, he's just there. And I go to the husband, I go, he's just there. Like, everybody else just. He goes, yeah, he goes. I mean, he's still in the g. It's not like he's ever in a sweatsuit. But, you know, he just. And we eat many, many meals with him, just casually with him. They. I. I go, like, we always wonder where he sleeps, what his bed looks like. And she's like, oh, yeah, I could tell you all that. I know all that. And I go, would you come on? And she's like, well, we're going back to Rome now in a couple days for a while. But you know that she could do it over the air. And then the daughter's like, mom, you have to. It'll be fun, you know? So she's like, I will. And she'll tell us all we need to know. And I will say this. She said that her connection and what she does, it's with this gentleman. So I'm this gentleman, this Pope. So if he passes away, it's dead. It don't carry over to the next guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Corrielli
So we won't be talking to the Pope, but we could talk to somebody that could tell you all those fun things we always wanted to know, like, who's doing his sheets? Are they like. That's another thing. If I worked at the Vatican, and, like, I'm washing the Pope's sheets, what I'm doing is I'm getting the Same exact sheets, brand new. And every single time I get the Pope sheets, I'm going on ebay and I'm selling the fucking sheets for 20k. Then I'm washing the new ones I got, and I'm throwing those back onto the Pope's bed. So he's sleeping in a new sheet. I'm selling the sheets. Why wouldn't you? His pillowcase. He takes a shower, I take a shower. There's all this. It's ridiculous. It's like a bear. There's hair everywhere. Pope takes a shower. I am a housekeeper. I'm taking every single hair on the wall of the shower and I'm putting them in a little baggie that's like Jesus hair, practically.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And I don't know if we talked about this before, does the Pope get a salary? Can you look up if the Pope is making. And don't tell me if he's making it or not. If you were to guess if the Pope has a salary, what do you think this guy's getting paid?
Pete Corrielli
I don't think he does. If he does, I'm saying, like, I'm going to do one of them traditional things, like a dollar, right? Nothing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so if the Pope wants to go buy a car, is it on the Vatican? Like, how does this guy drive him?
Pete Corrielli
It's a job till. Till death, bro. Is Pope ever going to take his car to the 711 for a fucking Slurpee or something, you know?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, okay. He wants to buy a what? A suit.
Pete Corrielli
That's what I'm saying. You, who owns a suit shop that's going to charge the fucking Pope? I mean, that'll be 7, $750. And. Okay, here. Here you go. And you're going to hell, right? I mean, come on.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, okay, here it is. The Pope does not receive a salary. Instead, the Catholic Church covers all of his living expenses, including food, travel, housing, medical care from the Church's funds. Okay, but what I'm saying is the Pope does not have personal assets or bank accounts. He cannot spend the Vatican's funds for personal use. So what the. How's this guy. This guy wants to buy a Nintendo Switch or an iPhone. Where's that coming from? The Vatican.
Pete Corrielli
I think that's it. He just has to say, get me that. And they get it for him. Yeah, it's coming out of the Vatican fund.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, but it said, no, personal Vatican funds cannot be used for personal use.
Pete Corrielli
Well, I mean, that makes no sense. Then he's got to.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, Han, when the Pope retires, the Church continues to cover his living expenses and provide him with a home and other amenities. But my question, I guess, is, yeah, they cover his expenses, but, like, food, Is there a per diem this guy's getting? Or if he goes, he wakes up, he goes, you know what? I want to go to the best Italian restaurant in Rome, set it up, and do they go Pope? That don't fall under the Church's expense.
Pete Corrielli
Great questions you gotta go to. Have you ever seen the Pope at a restaurant? A photo of the Pope just like, you know, at a fucking Nobu. Is that a thing? Is he allowed to do that?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Hold on. We have another.
Pete Corrielli
These are great. You got to get that. This is what we got to ask the lady. We got to remember these.
Sebastian Maniscalco
From what I. Popes earn a salary of 32,000amonth. Wait, so he does make a salad.
Sponsor Voice
Chuck.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's that?
Pete Corrielli
This is just some guy named Chuck on the Internet.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, okay. So. So, yeah, I guess we gotta ask this lady all these different questions. So.
Pete Corrielli
No, you're right. Because, like, what if the Pope wants caviar every day? I want a caviar. Right? You're like, this guy's bankrupting us, man. Or do you just get what you want, man?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, to your point, who's going to turn down the Pope for a suit? Who in the Vatican is going to go, sorry, Pope, we can't get you caviar?
Pete Corrielli
Can you get fired?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, does the Pope have firing capability?
Pete Corrielli
Can he get fired? Can the Pope get fired? Can, like, people come in and go, guy, you're out. You're fucking. You know, we smell weed coming out of your fucking room. Caviar every day. We heard about the suits. We're done with you guys.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, could the Pope wear jeans and a T shirt in public? Or does he have to be completely outfitted in the garb? Everywhere this guy goes, what does the Pope work out in? Look that up. Do we have a Pope in shorts? Look up like a Pope.
Pete Corrielli
Maybe this lady does. Maybe she's like, I'm with him when he's doing 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, hold on. I don't see. Wait, what's that? With the Pope wearing the. The winter jacket up. Oh, that's an AI. I don't know, bro. I've never seen the Pope in anything other than this white robe he's got on.
Pete Corrielli
Well, I mean, I don't think I've ever seen Trump in anything but a suit. Oh, no, I see him in the golf stuff. That's right, in the shorts. Never in shorts.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The winter jacket look. But I could see. Yeah, full length. Full length on that. Okay, so throw this. Yeah, right there. What's your take on the. It's. It's winter, right? Pope needs to be warm. What's your take on this look for a winter look on the Pope?
Pete Corrielli
I've seen that. If that's real, I think it's as appropriate as you can get to keep it Pope esque and stay warm. Like if he's going to, you know, Alaska or somewhere, northern Canada, and you got to stay warm, but you're still going there to bless people. That's phenomenal, no?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, yeah, if that. Apparently that is AI generated. And for those of you who are listening, not watching, it's basically a North Face type white full length jacket with a. With a hood, which, to be honest with you, I wouldn't mind getting that for myself.
Pete Corrielli
Now. We already had one.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We could collapse this and give you another one. Little trivia, pulp trivia, if you will.
Pete Corrielli
Okay.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right. What we got The Pope when he's in the car, you know, he's got like a Pope car.
Pete Corrielli
Popemobile, as they call it, I think. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Who makes it? Who's the manufacturer that makes the Pope mobile? Right, right.
Pete Corrielli
It's a great question.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, I know who it is because we just pulled it up.
Pete Corrielli
Okay. And if you make it and you're literally the guy working on it, do you get to meet the Pope? Right? I mean, like, if I'm sitting there welding the axle, knowing I'm gonna meet the Pope, I'm gonna make sure every. Everything's perfect. Perfect, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right. What kind of car is it? And can we see a photo? So the Pope is driving around and I got a problem with this. What? The car is made by Mercedes Benz, right?
Pete Corrielli
What's the problem, man? That's very high end, right? Don't you think? Or should he be in like, a.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What? Lamborghini? Ferrari. They should do a custom Popemobile and keep it in the family. It's like the Vaticans in Italy. Why not the car be made by Ferrari? You know what I'm saying?
Pete Corrielli
Right. But the Pope isn't even Italian, is he?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, he's not Italian. But, like, everything about the Pope is Italian, right?
Pete Corrielli
Your problem is you think the whole Vatican and all of it, you see it as an Italian thing. It's not. It just. It's its own country in Italy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Why do they pick Italy?
Pete Corrielli
They're not idiots. Stunning. How come it's not. How did that. Yeah, that's an edit. That's an I don't want to kill my market.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, don't worry about it. You know, this one.
Pete Corrielli
I don't mind killing this one.
Sebastian Maniscalco
How come you don't have one anyway?
Pete Corrielli
I do. Stop saying that. It's tiny. Let me do this one.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm kidding. I know.
Pete Corrielli
I am, too. I'm joking. Relax. I want to do my bit. How come the Vatican's not in Louisville? I got no problem with that one. The weekend there, six people came. The whole weekend. That's dead. It's close to dead. But the Louisville DOA don't take it out of the car.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Pete, can we get a. I want to see them, because I think they have this Mercedes, but then they have, like, a glass around. Around him when. When. When they parade him through the crowd, you know, he's in this, like, bulletproof glass thing. Oh, bro, here we go. Oh, my God. Oh, it's a G Wagon, bro. It's a fucking.
Sponsor Voice
It was the G series before that.
Pete Corrielli
Before the G wagon existed.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so let's get the G Wagon Popemobile up. I need to see what this looks like. And. And I want. I want to get. I want to get your take.
Pete Corrielli
Oh, my gosh. Look at that thing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's your take on getting a popemobile for everyday use, bro? Can you imagine pulling up into the car line with this thing with your kids, and they're showcased in a glass, bro, what's your take on just having this to go get groceries?
Pete Corrielli
Yeah, but I don't need it. Nobody's shooting me or my kids. You know what I mean?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I know. I'm not even talking the security. I'm talking about the design. Like putting Jackie back there. Right, Right. Or Sadie just sits in that seat while you and Jackie are up front. What should they.
Pete Corrielli
I would say this if I was someone on a level that they wanted me to be in parades, which I don't even know how that works. I would imagine you've been invited to be in parades.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is your parade mobile.
Pete Corrielli
Well, I'd say no. And then they go, can we at least send you what. He'd be in with his wife. We can even put a nice white wine in a cooler for you. Sebastianlani. You're in the back there with two nice chairs with a canopy, and you just gotta do a light wave while you sip some white wine. That's, like, enticing. But that thing is covered in bulletproof glass, if I'm not mistaken. Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. I gotta be honest with you, bro. I thought this would be more of a luxurious thing. It doesn't. It looks homemade. Doesn't.
Pete Corrielli
Doesn't. I don't know if this is the exact right one. No offense to Patrick and Dona's hunt, but I believe it's all coming to me. Didn't our Pope get shot when we were little? He got shot and then he did. Then he did a popemobile. What's that? They attempted shot, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
They attempted. There's attempted assassination on the Pope? Yeah, in the 80s. Oh, he didn't get hit in the 80s.
Pete Corrielli
And then Eddie Murphy did one of his specials where I think he talked about trying to shoot the Pope. And maybe even I think he might have talked about a popemobile. But, yeah, so this goes way back. But it's. I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it. I'd be like, I'll just take my chances in the back. If I was the Pope, I'd be.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, you know, that's too much. May 13, 1981. Pope John Paul II was shot and wounded in St. Peter's Square by Mehmet Ali Aga, a Turkish citizen, during his Wednesday general service. So it wasn't with the car, but I'm just proposing, and I'm going to talk to this lady that we're going to bring her on like, let's revamp the Pope Mobile, get Ferrari Lamborghini involved, have them make a beautiful red.
Pete Corrielli
Let me ask you this. If the Pope just said, I've done enough of this world. He turns his people. I've done so much good, and I think God would want me to just, I just want to go for a Sunday drive. I want to go, gosh darn it, I'm going. Or the Pope just says, I'm going. I'm going to my favorite candy store when I was a kid. Like, can they stop him? Can they physically stop him from walking out of the Vatican?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it's like the President. The President can't just go for a jog without a team around him.
Pete Corrielli
I mean, why can't he just sneak out?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, I mean, you could sneak out, but is there. I don't know, is there a rule where when you sign up to be the Pope or the President, say, listen, you cannot not go out in public without 17 men around you. It's just part of the deal. And then if you do decide to do that, we're going to have to get rid of you.
Pete Corrielli
Maybe you go out that door, Pope, you don't come back as Pope, you're dead to us. If you Walk out that door.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's the Pope's name? Is it Francis? I think it's Francis, right? Pope Francis. Pope Francis born. Here's another thing. His name is Jorge Mario Bergaglio. That's his name, right? So do they give you a name like Pope Benedict? What was his name? Look up. This is another thing we gotta ask him. How do they name these guys? Is it like a hurricane? What's the. Hey, Pope Benedict. His name was Joe.
Pete Corrielli
Like what, just Pope Joe?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, Pope Joe. Why are we changing the names on these guys?
Pete Corrielli
That's a good one. We could probably find that one up on our own, but let's ask her anyway.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, so we're going to get this.
Pete Corrielli
My last one to you is, 3:30 in the morning, I'm the Pope. I roll over, I ring my bell, I'm dying for some lobster tail. So Wednesday night, I want lobster tail. How soon? From 3:30 in the morning when I say I'm dying for some lobster tail and I want it brought to my. How long till I have lobster tail in my room as The Pope? Wednesday, 3:30 in the morning?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Why, you think they got lobster tail somewhere in the Vatican? You think they got a live lobster? You think they got a live lobster tank in there? But, like, I'm sure they know his preferences. So if lobster is kind of off the grid, I think they're gonna. They're gonna have to tell them. You're gonna have to wait till the market opens at 10 o'clock in the morning. We'll go get you a lobster, bro.
Pete Corrielli
You're not serious. You think the Pope's gotta wait seven hours to get a fucking lobster? Kind of world are we living in? You don't think anybody. First of all, I call the owner at a local fish place in the middle of the fucking night and I get the cops. Give me the owner of the place, he gets on my Pope wants a lobster. We don't have any lobster. I need you here in 15 minutes. That guy hops out of his bed, cruises to wife's like, where are you going? The Pope wants a lobster, and that's it. It's moving, it's happening. I'm thinking. And then we wake the cook up going, someone's coming in hot with the lobster. Get ready, get the fuck apart. Boom, boom, boom. I'm thinking, oh, I don't know, bro. How long does it take to boil lobster? Five minutes, right? So I'm thinking soup to nuts. 23 minutes after the call, he's squeezing a lemon onto the Fucking tail.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Who gets a lobster faster, the Pope or Putin? Like, I feel if Putin wanted a lobster.
Pete Corrielli
Putin? Are you fucking kidding me? Pope, you're just gonna get a thank you, maybe a blessing. Putin, you'll get shot if you're not there in five minutes. You fucking kidding me? He'd be like, I want a lobster in five minutes. I don't want it brought to me by Zelensky wearing an apron. That's crazy. That guy's a crazy guy. I might be an edit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know.
Pete Corrielli
I don't want to get political. I sent Patrick a great clip I want you to see. Did you see it? The one I sent you about Johnny Carson? I sent it to you personally, too. Yeah, Wasn't that cool?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That was good. That was good. I got a clip. We'll save it for the next show. It's a Tom Cruise clip. We're going to continue the Tom Cruise campaign as we march on here till the release of Mission Impossible. I think it's called. Is it Ghost Protocol? I forget the name of the new Tom Cruise movie.
Pete Corrielli
Reckoning.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Reckoning.
Pete Corrielli
One last question about movie stars. When you think about Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, DiCaprio. Right? How do the hair gods know not to let these guys hair fall out? You know what I'm saying? Like. Like, how come when you're a movie star, your hair don't fall out? I don't get that. It's like everybody around you. Like, everybody. Kevin Bacon went to high school. It's fucking bald. And he could do shampoo commercials. It makes no sense to me. They almost know a guy, bro. They all must know a guy. You got to have, like, Kurt Russell. Oh, my God. You could play hide and seek in his fucking hair. Oh, crazy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We'll leave you with that, folks. Why do movie stars don't go bald? Great. Great question. All right, guys, we'll see you next week. Pete Sebastian, we are.
Pete Corrielli
The show has ended. First of all, we went with the daybed.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God.
Pete Corrielli
You gotta call it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Went through the catalog.
Pete Corrielli
I can't breathe. Holy.
