This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
Cash F Everything around me. Pete Sebastian Show. We are back. Another episode here. Let's start off with a video that I saw on Instagram and I want to show you why American kids are failing at life. Okay?
All right.
We've often talked about the Japanese culture on this show, how we love what the Japanese people have done, not only with their food, their cuisine, but their lifestyle. I believe though. And again, we've been spitting out knowledge the last two episodes. I believe Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world. Maybe second. I think we looked that up earlier, right? I think it's the second highest in suicide rate. So there is a pressure amongst the Japanese people to perform specifically with academics at high level. Go ahead.
If we're going to be honest, at least I will stand by this. Isn't that part of the perk? Like, that's all part of the beauty of Japan. It's like, if you can't handle it, get the fuck out. What does that mean? Find the building, find the rope and beat it.
Oh God.
Yeah. The only way they do see every for every death in Japan from suicide in America, that's another person that just goes and lives under the highway and that we feed with our tax money. They don't do that, live under the highway. They just kill themselves.
That's it. It's either.
It's either.
It's either you're successful or, oh, you're dead.
I know a guy who sells rope in Japan. He lives like a king. All right, that's ridiculous.
I just want to see. I just want to let you in on what the secret for raising a genius child is in Japan. Now, I want you to watch this video and tell me if you did any of these types of activities with Sadie when she was a toddler or what have you. Let's roll the tape here and we'll show you what's going on in the country of Japan. When it comes to child rearing, Japan has the smartest kids on earth. It's because parents there focus on mental and physical development through simple exercises from early childhood instead of lounging all evening. Just 15 minutes of these exercises daily can make your child more focused and thoughtful in a month. Before teachers complain and get this video removed, subscribe to my channel. My blog teaches how to raise a genius child. Okay, did you do any of those things? Oh, now, what do you on it? Well, would you rather have your kid eating a Big Mac in a parking lot off the off ramp at a 95?
And I'm trying to do a show here. You want me to just go, you're right. We're dummies. I don't mean to give the opposite opinion of you just to give it, but I'd love to talk. I wish we just knew anybody in Japan and they'd be like, I don't fucking do any of that shit. There's one guy who got a Japanese kid to jump through some fucking foam, and you're buying this shit hook, line, and sinker. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, if this. They're the smartest kids in the world. Do you know who. First ones who came to the. Maybe they are smart. We gotta take that back. The first ones that came to the door with. When Big T put the tariffs on Japan's the first one that came to the door and said, we'll negotiate. Because they've been growing up with all them exercises right there. They knew to do the right thing when they got. Oh, God, I don't know what.
I don't care if this video was staged. I don't care if they if one Japanese kid's doing this, it's better than what the hell we got going on over here, bro. Right?
Yeah.
Now, for those that are listening and not watching, they had this Japanese kid on. It almost looks like a curved surfboard. They had him doing exercises almost like you would do at the NFL with tires, but it was more like little string squares. The kid was using his brain. He was using his deductive reasoning. I just saw a lot of. Just a lot of exercises that would boost mental and physical development amongst a child. And I'm not saying we got, you know, dumb kids, but believe me, I'm on the ground floor of this stuff. I'm seeing it firsthand. I'm seeing the kids today because I'm, you know, with Seraphina and I'm seeing, you know, I'm seeing talent pool, and it ain't looking good.
This. I want to run something by you video wise with children, because you are a tough love kind of a dad. And I gotta tell you, I folded. I couldn't believe this. Did you see this video? Patrick, can you find a video for me? I think it was on Twitter where the mom's teaching the kid how to swim and she just puts the baby in the. In the water, afloat. Did you see that?
Yeah, no, I've seen. I've seen these videos. We did something similar here at our house where it was, man. I mean, I wish I could go back.
If he finds a video I'm talking about and you did something similar.
Yeah.
You should be arrested. You should be arrested.
Yeah.
Right now.
That's why I'm on the road to the Japanese people over here and you're not.
Yeah, okay. It was disturbing, man.
Okay, I think he's got it. He's going to pull it up here.
I don't know.
Apparently there's. There's a Runway in my yard.
Oh.
Oh, really?
Yeah. Ready? Go. Yeah, it's very similar, but this one, the woman's like, in the backyard going, it's okay, baby. And the baby's choking, bro.
That.
I can't even watch it. I can't even watch that, bro. It's so fun. You're drowning a child. It's free. It's.
You're not drowning the child. What you're doing is. It's natural for the child to be in water. They've been living in water for nine months in the belly. So it's. It's kind of like what they're used to. And instinctually, they come up, they flip around, they get the air, it's beautiful. I think it's a beautiful way to get a kid. It's just like teaching a kid skiing.
But if from what I'm understanding, they do it because it'll instinctually teach the child how to swim. Correct.
Yeah.
Well, why don't we just let him deal with that if the time comes, like, he can do all that shit he's doing, right?
Listen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, bro.
You sound like you gotta get out of California, bro. You sound like.
No, I'm going to spit another bit of knowledge in here. I think I'm right on this. Number one cause of death is drowning for kids. Look that up. Let's get a confirmation on that. And the way I'm going right now is Ivy League shit, bro.
I'm not denying that's the number one cause of death. I. I'm just saying that if you throw a baby in the water like that, and then later on, like two years later, it falls in a pool, it's not going to not drown. Because two years ago you stood up to the water in your waist going, you got this, baby. I don't think one correlates to the other. You just got to teach swimming lessons.
No, it correlates because what they're doing is they're training the kid when they do fall in water to automatically go up on their back and gasp for air. Sometimes, depending on the age, they teach the kid to get to the side and grab on and get out of the pool. If they are not aware of how to do any of these skill sets, they drowned. And thank you. Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 and 4 in the United States. Stick that in your cap and tell me.
But I'm not denying that. But I'm not. And I'm not denying. Teach a kid how to get to the side of the pool. I'm just denying that.
I'm not looking for any of that. I'm looking.
That took.
I'm looking for. Hey, you know, shit, you're a smart motherfucker. That's right.
Well, you. You're skirting the issue that you did this to your child. Two minutes ago, you sounded like one of. You know, honestly, it sound like you're about two weeks away from homeschooling your own children with a comment.
You know what?
That. That's an acceptable technique.
You know what? I wouldn't mind because I gotta tell you right now, I'm not too happy about some of the friendships Being made at the school.
Don't you gotta be that? That is. So. What's the word? Malleable. Like that's gonna change. Is that the right word? Bro, we're on fire. That's right. That'd be crazy. Malleable.
Look that up. That'll be three for three with this.
Guy changing, like constantly changing. That would be. Did I get hit by lightning? Find out. He can't even spell it. He can't even find out if it's right because he's like, he hasn't even started.
He. Bro. He. Oh, here we go. Malleable. Can we get a spelling. Can you spell it? If you spell it, get. Spell malleable.
M A L, U A B L, E. Yeah, that's.
That's. That's. That's junior college, bro.
Smack. Back to reality. Yeah. Holy. I was about to tell Jackie we should play chess when I'm done with the podcast.
Check as it is, bro, they get the Scrabble board out. Oh, God. It's M A L L E. A B L E. I wouldn't have known that either.
Malleable. Sounds mallable.
Malleable. Is that malleable? Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Did I use it right? Did I use it right?
I think so. I think. Did you? It says of a metal or other material able to be hammered or pressed. Permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking. Pliable, Easily influenced. Anna was shaken enough to be malleable. Okay, all right.
I used to read.

So I'm looking for a video here right now. When Seraphina was doing similar stuff at a, at a. At a little bit older, I think she was maybe two or three that. And while we wait for that, it's our segment called you wear cologne. But I'm going to do a little sidestep on this. And, and I want to ask you, and I don't know if I know this of you, but this is not cologne. This is a aftershave lotion. All right. Lozion Dopo Barbara. Italian from Florence. Right. Do you wear aftershave?
No, I don't really clean shave, but when I have in the past, I like, I don't. I like an aftershave.
Yeah.
But I can't even say that because, you know, I like brute. Okay.
So I still like that. You still go with like a. More of a classic aftershave. More of like a. Brut's got more, I would say of a, you know, could we look on another sidebar there? What Brut kind of smells like? Because I can't remember. But this is more of a, it's got more of a fruity root. Faberge is more of a flower. Flower Faberge citrus top notes with hints, hints of spicy woods. This is a little slightly spicy, floral, clean scent. Now do you wear.
Questions? I was watching the technique. Is that the normal technique for your.
Yeah, yeah.
Now no.
Kind of rub it in. Nah. Rub it in. Now. My, my question I guess to you is, oh, do you wear. Is aftershave enough if you shave? Is that enough as your scent for the day or do you apply a cologne from a similar company or similar from the company.
Or what.
What's your take?
Do we. I don't even wear anything. I don't wear anything. But if I did, I wouldn't do two. And I was going to ask you that. What do you do if you're doing that? Wouldn't the cologne just get in the. Wouldn't they be fighting each other?
I don't mind a fight though. I think it leaves the person on the other end of this guessing. Jesus Christ. I smell a lot of shit coming off this guy. One was clean, one was citrusy, another one was floral. Either way, wow.
It's too much, bro. It's chaos. It's all chaos. It's a mush.
Okay, what I want you to do is an experiment on the podcast, and you can't tell Jackie this.
All right?
Dare I send you a cologne to test out? I might send you something, and I want you to start wearing it, but don't tell Jackie you're wearing it. And I want to get her reaction to what she's smelling.
Okay, well, if I got my own, I can. But if I got my own, could you give me the recommendation of what I should get and then do that experiment with.
No. No. I'm going to send you a small sample bottle.
Okay. All right. I didn't want to make you send to me one. I was just going to go get it and get going.
No, no. And it's going to come with a couple other things. I'm doing a new thing now. I don't know if I told you this. No. Randomly. And this is going to dovetail right into our next segment. I'm sending people I know the books that I'm reading. So a friend of mine, two friends, got in the mail just out of nowhere, three books, and the note from me saying, I think you would enjoy reading these books. When you're done reading them, give me a call. We'll discuss it. So you're gonna get a package. What is today? Tuesday? Probably. I'd guess by Monday. Maybe next Monday from me. Now, I just got this book sent to me. Haven't read it yet. Lewis Holmes podcast.
Did you hear that, studio audience? Well, you know. You listen to it yet?
Listen and read Stroke.
All right.
So Lewis Holmes has a very successful podcast that I happen to be on. Good Guy actually cried on his podcast.
Wow, man.
Especially now that my parents are getting up in age, you think they're always going to be there, and sometimes you take it for granted. And I always try to make that a point in my head. Like my mom always says, I said, mom, I got to call you back. She goes, yeah, right. Because sometimes I don't call her back, and I should be more mindful of that. But, yeah, my mom is gold.
Wow.
School of Greatness, the podcast. Really good podcast. Got some really great guests on there. So he sent me a book, and I didn't bring this up, but he sent the book with a little note, not a personalized note. Everybody got this note and a $2 bill. A $2 bill came with this book. Now, for those of you that are young, younger than, say, I don't know, how old are you?
Guest Voice
43.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Have you ever seen a $2 bill? Yeah, I don't. What's that?
Gifts.
Gifts, yeah. Okay. I don't think $2 bills are maybe popular or. I don't think a lot of people have seen him. Maybe 35 and under, would you say? What do you think?
I don't know. It's weird. Like where we do our recycle cans when Sadie brings them in, they give her a two dollar bill every time. And she's got a wallet filled with $2 bills. But otherwise I never see him. I asked the guy, he goes, oh, we just get them from the bank because we like to give out $2 bills.
Okay, great.
Picture on the back of the bill.
What is it?
You see it?
No.
It's like the dec. I think it's assigning the Declaration of Independence. I just remember it's like big. It takes up the whole bill. It's like that's. I mean, if we're going to put something on there, let's do it. Nice. Each $2 bill is a little mini painting.
Do you think they should bring back the $2 bill? Because obviously cash is becoming obsolete.
But I think they might still be printing it, man. Some of them are crisp. Some of them are crisp.
Guest Voice
We just gave my daughter for losing the two.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Gave her a two dollar bill.
Okay. That's what we've been doing. Did you get that from this cast? That's what I've been doing with Seraphina. Light. Okay, light, Light.
Light. Both of you guys, light. Five at least these days. Guys, it's 20. 25. Kid gets five under the pillow, minimum.
No, it's not about the monetary value of it. It's about like the $2 bill the fairy came up with. When Seraphina first saw it, she's like, what is this? I've never seen this before. Fairy money. No. See? Special.
Oh, man. All right.
Lewis Holmes, looking forward to getting into this. Make money easy.
When you change your mind, his book gets it too. He mails it with the book or just like friends and stuff.
I didn't read the letter yet, but I don't know if it has something to do with this book, but money? I don't know. I thought it was a class move. $2 bill fell out of the box. I'm like, this guy's giving out $2 bills. Now, I would guess if you went to a store and a kid was 21, 22, and you were buying a banana, and the banana was $1.19, and you gave this kid a $2 bill. He'd call the police.
I don't think so, man. No, come on. I think they're a little more common than you think, man.
I don't think so.
I think they might still be making them. I really do.
Did we find out?
Guest Voice
I think you have to order. You can. If you don't keep some. I think you can call the bank and they'll order them for you if they don't have them. But a lot of banks don't keep.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. All right. I have $2 bills waiting for Caruso when he loses his teeth. He hasn't lost any of them yet, so he's gonna be getting $2 bills soon.
There's a lot of interesting coins these days.
Why, do you have a coin collection?
No, I don't collect coins. I'm cool. I'm just saying there's a lot of, like. There's a lot of, like. Like when I do blankets and heavy things from my garage, sometimes I'll do a load up at the laundromat, you know, of, like, work stuff. Stuff that I'm gonna put my own washing machine. And when. And they have a change machine there. And. And like, if you put in a $20 bill and they go, you only need 10 quarters, then they give you back these dollar coins that I've never seen before. And, like, you know, if they didn't say US$1 on them, I wouldn't even take them. And then, like, when you get change from the Long island railroad machine, those are gold dollar coins. A lot of different dollar coins floating around now, man. When you give those to somebody, they're a little like, what the hell is this? I hope cash didn't die. I hope you're wrong.
Well, me neither. I mean, I just filled up my wallet with a little cash today. It's always nice to get the wallet ready to go for a.
Don't you think the pandemic messed it up with cash a little bit? Like. Like the other day I chewed his gum. You've seen the gum I chew. And the other day I put, like, three in my pocket. I was on the go, and I'm like, I don't want to bring the whole thing. I put three in my pocket. And then about half hour later, I did something with cash. And instead of putting my cash back in my money clip during the transaction, I put it in my pocket. And about five, ten minutes after that, I wanted a fresh piece of gum. And I'm like, ew. It's been bouncing around with them $. The money in there, so I had to throw them all out. Since the pandemic, I find cash to be a little gross. I gotta wash my hands after I use it.
Let's see.
I mean, I don't have to, but that's the perception. The whole thing has gotten heightened. That's the problem. Oh, no, bro. See, now you're going to touch your face. You're literally going to get sick halfway through the show. That's all right.
I have a question for you. Is there a date of birth on money?
Yes.
Okay. This One is from 2021. It's a $10 bill. All right, so this thing has been in circulation for four years, and I don't know if ChatGPT could look this up. If money's been in circulation a $10 bill for four years, how many hands on average has this bill touched? Right? So what would you guess? I'm not. I don't want to see it. Patrick, Don't. Don't put it up there yet. Just kind of do it on your own. How many hands transactions has this $10 bill gone through in four years, which.
It takes 500 to 20? That thing's been everywhere. It's been in a woman's ass. It's had coke on it. It's been in a quarter machine. It's been everywhere, man. I think it's been more places than you and I have been, I'll tell you that much. If that 29 mil could talk, it could do a way more entertaining podcast than we ever could. He's like, listen, I've been in Dubai. Been in Dubai. I. You have. I haven't, but 20 has.
I'm gonna. I'm gonna say 100. Not gonna. I'm not gonna go. Because this could have been. This could have been. This could have been sitting in the bank for a while and then came out, right? And then the person. Then it could have been given to a grandkid for his birthday and he's not using it. It's in his piggy bank. I'm gonna go 100. Do we.
Do.
Do we have an answer?
Guest Voice
100 to 200. If since 2021.
Sebastian Maniscalco
100 to 200 since. So this has passed 100 times. Do you think. Do you think this was in Tom Cruise's wallet at one point?
No way, man. There's so many different. So many different variables today. That's a 201010 guy. I am shocked that someone of your stature is walking around with such a low numerical bill. I got it all. You may be carrying A penny in your hand. Guys.
Got one. I got one.
You should. What?
I got ones. I got it all. I got all denominated. I got all denominations.
Bro. What? Bro, I don't want to say. I don't want to listen. I'm just saying, gosh forbid something would have happened to you and then they go through your wallet, man, if you. Do you think Sinatra died with a $1 bill in his wallet? I'll leave. I'll let that. Just let that marinate. You think he carry around dollars? That's not you guys, that's me.
Look it up. Did Frank Sinatra put that in the chat? GPT Did Frank Sinatra carry around dollar bills?

By the way, I just wanted to add one thing. When you were talking about the Japanese up front, I think I told you this, but when Jackie ran the Japan marathon, every other marathon, I told you how they would. People would stop and pee in the bushes and in the park. They were going number two. Number two anywhere they had to. And Jackie said in Japan, if you went outside to pee during the marathon and got caught, you're automatically kicked out of the marathon. Every marathon she's ever run, she's like, that's the only place that ever policed. They're like, they don't care about your time. You wait. And they didn't have a lot of Porta Potties either. So she's like, they're like, you wait and when it's done, then you can go in pee. But like I think it's a beautiful way I can Play around with that.
I think it's a beautiful way to operate. Not only they make you behave how.
You and I want people to behave.
Yeah. Yeah.
Unbelievable.
I'm totally up for it. I'm totally up for it. You got to show that. I'm gonna check it out. I'm gonna check it out. Here. This just in. Yes. After his son Frank Sinatra Jr. Was kidnapped in 19, Frank Sinatra Sr. Began carrying around 10 dimes in his pocket and was even buried with him because the kidnappers demanded he communicate by payphone only and he was afraid he wouldn't have enough coins for the calls.
Wow.
I didn't know that.
I think I did know that and forgot. But I didn't know it was 10 dimes. I thought it was one dime. But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about. That's more of a superstitious thing. You know what I mean?
It's not superstitious. He just needed money to pay for the phone calls. Ok. And you didn't even ask why I have a dollars. You didn't even ask. You just thought it was cheap that I had dollars in it. You don't even know what the fuck I'm using them for.
They're using them to tip. Small tips, small denomination, that's what. All right. What do you got your dollars for? What do you got your dollars for? No one. And all of a sudden you dropping F bombs. You didn't need to drop it. Is that Patrick? What is he doing? Oh, my God.
Oh, bro, he's. He's putting something on my shirt. He just clipped my. He clipped the thing to my shirt. What service.
Nice. Nice.
Let me get back to the money. All right. The dollars I give to my kids for doing a chore here. And there you go. Good job this week. Couple bucks, little allowance.
Still ton money. No, I love it. I do love it. But again, that's around the house. I. I stand by what I'm saying, man. It would like if. If I was next to you, hypothetically, in a casino, and you would turn around for whatever reason, and you were taking out money to tip the valet, and I peeked over. I'm getting the car after you. And I looked and I noticed in your wallet, I saw a couple singles. I would chuckle. I would say to my wife, driving away, it's singles as well. That's a little weird. I can't believe you don't think that.
I don't think it's. I don't think it's odd at all. I don't think it's odd at all.
And that outside of giving a dollar bill to your child, I can't think of a single scenario where Sebastian Maniscalco would need a single. Can you explain that to me?
I can't.
I mean, even at minimum, I need. This was. I'll put you in my shoes. This is my world. I was getting the parking spot after our Vegas run back to my car, and I checked my wallet and I didn't have any singles. And I always tipped the shuttle guy, usually, like, two, three singles. And he don't help me with anything. I always put my own bag. I don't know. You know, I'm very easy. They're almost, like, surprised in my little. You know, it's buffalo. So when I get up and I go to get off and I walk over to him, still sitting in the driver's seat, and I tip him, you know, they're like, oh, thanks. Because they didn't even have to help me. But now I have no singles. All I have is a five. I'm like, I'm giving this guy a five. I mean, he's got to drive me anyway. It's like, shit, do I give him a five? All right? If he drops me off last out of all these people, I ain't giving him a five. And then I'm like, he's just doing his job. If I'm last on the route, then you last.
So.
And then in my head, I'm like, you do this to yourself, Pete. I go, and how many times does this happen in a year? Let's say it happens a hundred times, which is way more than it ever happens, but let's say it happened a hundred times. And of a hundred times, you just said it and you gave the five. That's $500. Isn't it worth $500 to just shut the fuck up in your head and not do this anymore and just give the five? And then I finally gave to five. And he's like, oh, he looked at it and he goes, thanks. You know, and that's my world, right? So I don't even barely have a need for a one. So I still don't understand why you got ones that you would make fun of me for that. So I'm making fun of you for that.
I just told you why I have ones. And I gotta get back to your story about the five.
Yeah.
It'S not about if he does this for me, does that for me. Not about that. They give this guy a five, right? That's Going to come back to you tenfold somewhere down the line. Right? It's the energy of it. It's like, here's a five. The guy's like, that five is probably going to be his biggest tip of the day. Right? And how that guy feels from the five you gave him outweighs the $2.
You would have saved.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. It's a good spend. If you're gonna spend money in your life, that's a good one. And it's an older guy. You ever do this move when you tip. You ever try to calculate if everybody. Because I want to tip you the amount. I know I'm not a big tipper. Everyone listening. I know five bucks isn't unbelievable, but when there's no bag involved and other people tipping a dollar, maybe it kind of is in that world. But I want to be the guy that, when I tip you, you take me as your template and go, if everybody who got in my van gave me a five, I do 10, 12. 12 times a day, you know? And then I'd be making about $700 a day in tips. If everybody. Some people, because now what they have in the shuttle is, you know when you can put your phone camera up to the thing, and then. And then a link comes up and you press it. You know how they have the barcode, whatever they call it, so when it's your turn to drive on the window, it says, hi, I'm Kevin. Don't have cash, but want a tip. Don't worry. Just hit the. You know, like, it's not his. It's standard for the company. And, bro, I can't tell you how many people get out and they go like this. I'm sorry, Kevin, I don't have money, but I'm gonna tip on the barcode. I just hit it on my phone. And then he's. And he goes, oh, okay. Thank you. And now I'm like, guy, Kev, they're not gonna tip you now. You're thanking people for tips that you're not even getting. It's fucking fucked up. And they're getting out of the car. You think they're getting in their car going. Before I drive home from being gone from my family for 10 days, let me go to the bar car. I don't even. By the time I tip my Uber driver, sometimes it's two weeks later, when I get my next Uber, I'm like, jose in Portland. What the. Oh, yeah, that fucking guy. Two weeks ago. Let me tell. Yeah.
Do you Think Jose in Portland, though, is waiting for you to go, what the. Where's this guy's tip? Like, do you think he's waiting on your tip?
I don't know, but Jose thanks me. Two weeks later, he thanks me right away. And it makes me think, wow, was he waiting for that? Then I realized it's all automatic. But, yeah. So now these poor drivers are getting scammed because they're not getting those tips on that. No one's really doing it. They're faking it.
I have a problem with people walking around with absolutely no cash on them whatsoever. Can we look up that out of 100 people in 2025, how many people are walking around with cash? I wanna. I wanna get. Like, I always hear this. I got no cash on me. Like, I got no cash on me.
Aren't very rich and also sometimes famous, but very rich people are famous for that. The trumps of the world, man, that they don't carry cash. They, like. Everything is like. It's like when you go out to dinner with, you know, the one guy. I don't wanna say his name, and you go. And he's like, guy, it was taken care of before we even got here. You know, like, do they live in that world?
All right, we have the answer. How many people? It's not really. It's a guess, but we have a percentage. How many? Out of 100 people, how many. How many got cash on them? I'd say 94, 94% have cash on them. It says around 50 to 70% have cash on them. So we're looking at half of the people maybe are walking around with no cash on them. That's another question I'm going to start asking for an icebreaker. You're with the parents at the school function. You go to the dad, you carry cash and just start getting some, by the way. You got cash on you?
Guest Voice
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Do you know how much you have off the top of your head, or do you have to count?
Guest Voice
I think I have, like, roughly 250.
Sebastian Maniscalco
He's walking around with $250 on him. This guy could get mugged coming out of my house, right?
Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I want to know how many people out of 10 out of 100 people in America are homeless because you're saying out of 100 people, how many don't have cash? And they're like, 50% have cash. The other 50% are eaten out of a fucking garbage. It's not like they left their cash at home, bro.
I think they did a sample size of the people walking around, I didn't think they.
Yeah. They also asked the guy eating out of the garbage can, you got cash on you? He said, no, I don't.
I would think the homeless have more cash than on them than. Because that's what they're dealing with, cash.
Well, that's a good question. When. What's the limit for this question, too? If I have like 50 cents in a coffee cup, I mean, I got. Yeah, I got cash on me, but, you know, I can't even, you know, not enough to do anything with, I think. Aren't they getting rid of the penny altogether?
I kept hearing about this penny thing, but I don't know if they're getting rid of it or what they're doing with it. Okay, another segment. Some of this is product driven. And this is not that we're sponsored by any of these products. It's just I have found a sunglass and it's on. It's on the higher end. All right. And this new guy that's come on the scene, Ashton hall, he wears these sunglasses, but Lana gave me these sunglasses, I think, for my birthday. Right. And these are sunglasses you wear. And I'm going to ask you this. If you're doing an outside activity, whether it be running, hiking, playing tennis, playing sport with your daughter out on the front lawn, do you have specific sunglasses you wear for activities?
I have a lot of sunglasses, but I feel I have three categories.
Okay, what's your favorite one?
The one category is the one that you see a lot, which is my main go tos. The ones I bring on the road, they're brown. They're like, I could go to. I could do anything with them. I look like I look good in them. I have to say. The other category is when you go more of. I have the Oakley type, beachy, or if you're doing something beachy or athletically or maybe golfing again, though my regular shades could fall under that. And then you have your shades that you wear, like the ones you got in the van that one time where I commented, like, you're like high end from going to a wedding or sadly, a funeral. You're wearing like a nice suit. Yeah. So those are the three categories. Okay, and now what are these for? On the day, to day or golf?
This is golfing. This is. This is golf. Pickleball. Playing baseball with my son. All right, what's your take on a nice wraparound? And this guy, Ashton hall is wearing these. And it's funny that he had these on. I go wow. He had the same idea that my wife had. These are a nice sunglass to wear for activity. There's no.
They seem really light.
There's no like movement, you know, I'm saying you could do head whips and nothing and the shit's still on. Other glasses, they had like a rattling. This. This shit stays on highly. Recommend this glass again, high ticket item. I would.
It's called Ashton hall. Or does he use it?
These are Prada.
Who's Ashton Hall? Is he that guy you showed me with the. Who does the video with the war with the whole routine?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy's blowing up, bro.
Guy. What, so, so like he's your guy now?
It's not my guy, like for fashion and. No, I.
Is Brad Pitt dead? What the.
No, he's not dead. No, this is not my guy. I'm just saying this guy is highly active and he's wearing the same sunglasses. So it's a good sunglass to wear while you are doing sports activities. Okay.
It looked good. It looked good. It looked good for sports. Definitely looked like. Kept the sun out. Looked like it felt light. How does it feel when you're wearing it indoors? I like a shade that's always the elusive. The way, you know, I can't pull off the indoor shade. I tried to walk through the airport with my shades on the other day and I felt like if I walked past me, I would have said, lose the shades, meatball. That's what I would have said to me, you know, Were you doing it.
Because you forgot that you had them on or did you consciously say, well, I'm gonna.
Doing a test run. Coming up the gate. Coming up the gate. Shades on. Like just like too cool for everybody. Shades on. With my boots, with my beat up boots. Just like emanating, just not a normal person power. You know what I'm saying?
Did you have a hat? Did you have a hat on? No.
God, I don't wear hats, guy. That's illegal. Are you kidding me? The minute I a hat on, God would start having my hair fall out. He's like, oh, you know, I put a masterpiece on your head and you're covering it the out of here. You don't even deserve the follicles. Right?
So.
But as soon as I hit that gate and I came out and you know when you first come out, there's usually someone who works for the. For the airline helping people that don't know where to go. She. She looked at me and I looked at her and I felt like she Was kind of like, all right, I know you're type indoor shade guy, so. And then. But then I did a. Just a. A slow like. Like a. A slow all emotion clip to the shade. And I made it seem like I forgot that they were on. But in my head I was like, oh, God, I look like an.
While you were taking it off, do you think other people were watching you take them off and in their head they go, oh, he forgot he had them on? Is that what you were thinking?
I think I'm a walking disappointment. And let me tell you why. Because days like that, between my outfit, the button sweaters, everything, and the shades down, I think people think that I'm famous. And then they look over and they don't know me. I just looked at it. Nobody. You know what I mean? Just wasted three seconds of my life. I can't get back. Thought you were the fucking lead guitarist in Mumford and Sons. You know, comedy's great, so I can recognize, but I'm just saying I look rock and roll.
That's all I'm saying.
I look like I should have a guitar case. But anyway, what was I gonna say? I wanted to quick say one thing, bro. I forgot what you were. But about flying, I thought this was the tackiest ever and I needed to. I was like a little turned off by this. So I'm flying out after the casino gig, right? And I get to my bedroom that night at like 11 o'clock after the show. Ding from Delta. Sorry, your flight's canceled. We have no other options. We're going to refund you. That's it. Just leave me high and dry. So I text Lindsay right away. I go, here we go again, man. I know the lady's not available, but, you know, can we text her? I guess as soon as she wakes up in the morning because I got nothing. So Lindsey being great is like literally four minutes later. How about this one? It was a Southwest one. And I was like, that's great. It gets me home. At the same time, I just want to get home. And she goes, no problem. But because it's less than 24 hours, I just want you to know you're probably going to have to take a middle seat because the whole thing's sold and you're going to be the last one getting on. I was like, no problem. Just glad to be getting home. So I know I got to sit in the middle. So I get on last and I'm like, I'm not even gonna go down the aisle and look for the first Time I see two normal people. That's where I'm sitting. And there's a man and a woman, and I go, excuse me, can I get in there? And they both kind of separately. I didn't like their attitude faces about it. I was like, oh, would you guys think you're gonna have a middle seat to use as a fucking coffee table? Not happening. Sorry to ruin your little moment. Get halfway through the flight, and he says something to her about, are you gonna grab the bag? Says, no, I got the key. You get the bag. And I'm like, oh, they're married. And they do the thing on Southwest where they pretend they don't know each other, and no one will sit in between us because nobody wants the middle seat. And then we'll have two seats for us, honey, me and you, that we can have. You know what I'm saying? So then.
No, hold on, hold on. Let me cut you off. Oh, God.
Yeah. I felt like I was in the middle of a three.
So if that was the plan to begin with, and then you said, oh, could I sit there? I would go, no, you could take the aisle. And then you would just move into the middle seat to be with your wife. Right. You wouldn't let a stranger sit in between your wife, would you?
It's a tricky thing, because I said to Jackie, I did it all, so. Because I go, isn't that gross, Jack? And she goes, well, why didn't one of them just move over?
I go.
Because then they would have to admit that they were being cheesy fucking losers trying to get a free middle seat. Gross. It's a problem with this country, you know what I'm saying? Don't get me wrong. I have my own little rules, and I try to break the rules my own way, but you don't catch me. That was gross. Now I'm in between a married couple. Because you. Yeah, yeah.
I'm surprised you didn't go, oh, you. Do you want to sit here? Like, I. You should have put them in the position. Oh, I didn't know you guys were together. You want to sit here?
I. I know what I want to do. I want to turn to the guy and go, you're lucky I'm married. Because if I wasn't, I'd be making out with your wife halfway home. All right, just. Just to teach you a lesson, never put a seat between you and your wife, because you never know who's going to sit in it. Yay, Mr. Charming. Again.
Fake.
Fake, fake conceited, but so fun. Everybody should do that once in a while. Just fake, be conceited. It feels so good.
I'm gonna go the opposite way. I'm gonna go the opposite way and I wanna. Did you get that photo I sent you? Oh, God. I don't even know how to set this up, but I got a photo from my wife yesterday. Yeah, don't put it up yet. I was standing on a stool trying to get the fryer down out of the closet or out of the cabinet in the kitchen. Right. And my wife took a photo of me doing it and she sent me the photo. Right. And I just show you. Just put it up. This is what I look like on a stool getting a fryer down from the cabinet.
Whoa, whoa.
Now off. My God, bro, that's.
That is just. I mean, what do you feel about that? You see what's happening with your shorts, right?
They're going up my.
They're talking. Yeah.
So now if that was a 20 year old doing that, do you think the shorts would have reacted the same way? Or is it because I'm 51 and the shorts are now going up my ass? What's going on? And why are my shorts like that, man? Yeah, I don't know, bro. It looks like somebody shot me in the ass and the bullet.
Yeah. I just feel like that kind of stuff don't happen with like certain men. You know what I mean?
I know. That's what I'm saying. I feel if Tom Cruise was doing that, the fucking things would just be.
Yeah.
Falling off his ass rather than fucking up the asshole. That's up my asshole.
Right, right. Well, like, like. And again, I know we use him as the template, but. But even if Tom thought that might happen, I feel like he wouldn't do it. He wouldn't get on the chair. You know what I mean? There's a vulnerability. This is. It's just the same show. We talked about money tonight. It's like, guy, I'm seeing photos of you with shorts tucked in, your ass cracked. You're telling me you're carrying around $1 bills? Are you a star? Are you a star? What are you doing? This is not.
This is the beauty of it though. I. I share this. I share these moments. The other. This could be Tom Cruise, but he's never going to show you. I show you.
Yeah.
Because we need content, right?
You're trying to. Yes, I. Absolutely. Speaking of content, this falls under the grooming. I want to tell this to you before I forget. I have something coming in the mail for myself that I'll videotape. And I think this is something that might interest you if you haven't done this before. I finally bit the. Whatever went for it here. We got this special wax coming. Then I get to stick up my nose with the sticks. Plus, you know, you heat it up and you put it on your nose. When you peel that off, you get all that. Plus I put it on my back. And this one I'm a little worried about because I don't want to go deaf. But there's eight. Eight sticks or two up here and then two more up here. They said do it twice. Ears. Pull that shit out. I'll be able to fucking. We can talk without the fucking phone guy. I'll be like, what was that? I've never done. I'm excited and nervous to get the ear hair out. I don't know what's going on in there.
Why do you feel like you have a bush in there? I didn't even. I haven't looked in your ears lately.
Nah. But, like, I was in a hotel room when we were on the road a few weeks ago, and I did the nose and came back with a vengeance. Like, you know, machete, you know, so I'm pulling it all out with my tweezers, and when I. I don't know if it's in my head or not, but I feel like when I get the hair out of my nose that I'm. I'm breathing in on a high level of oxygen, you know? Like, I'm. Like, I'm. Literally. Ideas are coming to me quickly because more air is getting up there, you know what I'm saying? I mean, it's affecting my fucking thinking capacity. So I'm waxing it up. We'll see how that plays out, man. I'll let you know. I'm looking forward to it.
Now, if you want to go a step further with that and you want to take some photos of the. The tips of your hair, and we could share them on the cast. I mean, I'm showing. Yeah, I'm showing you my. My shorts up my asshole. You gotta, like, reciprocate, bro. You gotta. You gotta show something that's a deficiency.
On your end and back and shoulders, too. I'm, like, done with it. I just can't. I can't. It's like sometimes I'm in the shower and the water makes all the shoulder hairs run forward, and I'm like, that's. That's when you know you got a lot. When the water's affecting the look you.
Know, great hang, man. No, good hang. Good hang. I'm going to ask just. This is just a random question again. Lifestyle show. I'm going on vacation. Right. Not going to tell you the details, but. But these cameras that we have here and I have other cameras downstairs and they look kind of big from where I'm sitting. Would this be a vacation camera?
Guest Voice
I can get you a small lens and a small battery pack because it's built out to be a studio camera right now, but it's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'll give you one this big. I use it for loose ends. This big and as heavy as a Bic lighter. And it goes on the end of your computer. It's awesome.
I have that. I think you gave me that. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm talking about get a 360 camera. I'm going to give you. I'm going to show you what I got downstairs.
Guest Voice
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And you let me know. I'll bring it up next time. We'll do a camera review on the next podcast. I got a bunch of cameras and I'm sick of doing. I feel like I'm doing myself an injustice by taking photos with my iPhone. I want to start taking some camera shots going, oh, jeez, where'd you get that? And I don't know if. Do you think the camera is any different than the phone at this point?
Guest Voice
The. The lens and the size of the sensor gives you that sort of movie timeless quality.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, that's what I want. Movie timeless quality to my photos.
And you can't get that on a phone.
Well, the problem with taking a camera like that on a vacation is I'm the only one taking these photos, right? So it's like, I can't give this camera to like a tourist and go, could you take a photo? And they're going to be like, jesus, great. You know, like it's easier to take the. So the problem with. The problem with being a photographer is you're not in any of the photos.
I know, I know, but that. But the other problem though, with hiring a photographer is now I feel like the moments aren't as pure as they could be because there's some fucking dude, I don't know bending down two feet away from me taking a photo of it. You know what I'm saying? So you can only really capture an intimate moment with intimate people. So I just feel like.
Yeah, you know, you make a good point.
I feel like you take the camera, you have a family meeting with the kids as well. Maybe Caruso might be a little Too young. Seraphina is already in play. See this camera? We all know how it works. It's 8:00 in the morning. You have until 8:00 tonight. Everybody has a responsibility to take 10 photographs with this camera of anything at any time during this day. 10 photographs a day is the responsibility of everyone in this family. I mean, I like that.
I like that. I'm going to use that. I'm going to use it, by the way. By the way. And I don't know if this is even. Are these on sale?
Guest Voice
They're not on sale.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I was going to do a merch plug for the cast, but these not. You can't even get these.
Guest Voice
We can throw them up for sale on Patreon right now. But it's on Patreon.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We could just do it on Patreon. We could get. You want to cast hat? You want to cast hat and well, shit, you know what? As long as we're doing it, as long as we're doing it. Guy, you want. You want a new airport look? You want a new airport look, bro?
What do you got?
Do I got, bro? What do you think of this look coming through the airport?
Oh, that'll get you. That'll get you a separate frisk in a separate room. That'll get you. Sir, can you come with us, please? I like the black on black myself. There is a comfort level to this thing, though. It does like. It's very comfortable hat. It's a very comfortable.
I tell you what, what it is, it's the. It's the microfiche lining here, bro. Just made that up. Microfiche.
Oh, my God. I bought it too.
I know.
Until you said you made it up.
It's a padding here that you don't see in a lot of hats.
Yeah, it's nice.
Made by. The hat is made by Otto. Same manufacturer Tom Cruise wears for his hats. Really made that up, too. Oh, that's. There you have it. Pete Sebastian show again. Trending on YouTube. Patrick is working his wizardry over here.
Way to go, Patrick.
To get more eyeballs on the cast. So the tour is basically done and our energy is going to be focused right here in the podcast.
Awesome.
I'm tasking you with this task. Get this Pope girl on the show.
Did Patrick tell you where we're at with that?
No.
Oh, she's coming on. She was going to come on today. It was a little tight. We're trying to set her up for next week. Patrick is now in contact with her. That's going down, man. Yes.
Perfect, huh? All right.
So that will look. Look for having. Hopefully we'll have her on next Tuesday. We might have to do a special time for her because she. What do you think she is, bro? She's doing it just coming to us from the God, from the Vatican. She's in Rome. So she's on a different time schedule.
That's fine. I got time now. Let's get her.

Podcast Summary: The Pete and Sebastian Show – Episode 652: "Cash On Hand"
Release Date: April 29, 2025
Hosts: Pete Correale & Sebastian Maniscalco
Description: Two A-list comedians, Pete Correale and Sebastian Maniscalco, engage in a humorous and insightful discussion covering a range of topics from cultural observations to personal anecdotes.
Timestamp: [02:13] – [06:59]
Sebastian Maniscalco initiates the conversation by highlighting a video he encountered on Instagram, emphasizing concerns about American youth's development compared to Japanese children. He comments on the high suicide rates in Japan, linking it to intense academic pressures:
Sebastian Maniscalco [02:50]: "If we can't handle it, get the fuck out."
[03:13]
The hosts discuss a video showcasing Japanese child-rearing techniques, which involve simple mental and physical exercises aimed at fostering focus and thoughtfulness from an early age. Sebastian criticizes the methods, expressing skepticism about their effectiveness and authenticity:
Sebastian Maniscalco [05:00]: "I wish we just knew anybody in Japan and they'd be like, I don't fucking do any of that shit."
[05:55]: "I'm seeing the kids today because I'm... seeing talent pool, and it ain't looking good."
Pete and Sebastian debate the merits and potential drawbacks of such stringent upbringing practices, reflecting on the balance between discipline and nurturing creativity in children.
Timestamp: [06:59] – [10:34]
The discussion shifts to a controversial method of teaching children to swim by placing babies in water to instinctively learn survival techniques. Sebastian shares a video where a mother teaches her child to swim by submerging them:
Sebastian Maniscalco [08:00]: "You're drowning a child. It's free."
[09:05]: "Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 and 4 in the United States."
He debates the effectiveness of this method versus formal swimming lessons, stressing the importance of teaching kids essential survival skills without risking their safety.
