[Pete Corrielli]

This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco.

[Patrick]

And we are back up and running here. Pete Sebastian Show Gotta have a shout out here to the WTF podcast. Mark Marin is calling it quits after 16 years of podcasting. He is hanging up the podcasting microphone. One of the pioneers. Wow. Podcasting basically started the modern day podcast as we know it from his garage 16 years ago, had President Obama on and many other wonderful guests. So Mark Maron is hanging it up and we wish him well. And thank you for bringing podcasting into the forefront.

[Pete Corrielli]

Speaking.

[Patrick]

Have you done a show? I did on the show I did, yes.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. I'm grateful to have done it. It was amazing and fun and I've known Marin since I started from this, from the clubs in the city. But it's funny, you know, because now we were talking about movies before we started this cast. I could see someday them making a movie about Marc Maron starting that podcast. Because it is, it was so groundbreaking. It was the first, it really kind of was the first one I remember comedically at least, putting everything on the map, you know.

[Patrick]

Yeah, yeah, no, it, I did his show twice, I think. Yeah, did it twice. It was, it was kind of a quick in and out, I think. I was there for 30 minutes on one of them, and I was like, jeez, this is fast. I was wondering. I guess I left. I go, was that. Did he just. Because it was like, all right, thanks for coming in. Thanks for coming in. I'm just getting started. Takes me about 30 minutes to wake up on these podcasts, you know what I'm saying?

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, it's interesting because, like, the new groundbreaking one is a spin off of what we're doing here is Loose Ends is like, become. I'm joking. But anyway, I'm having. Giannis is coming on tonight. But I told Giannis Pappas ahead of time. Freaking Loose Ends is about an hour. So I said, hey, man, I'll only keep you 20 minutes to a half hour. I'm telling him ahead of time. And it's not that I wouldn't want to do more time with him or any comic. It's just that you do have. It's a live show, and part of the appeal is people do want to call in and say, what's up, Pete? Or, you know, when you and Sebastian talked about this or that. So you got to still make room for what the show originally was about. So, you know, Marin, when you went on the first time, too, it was like the peak of what he was doing. So I think he was pumping out two and three a day, so he had to get you people in and out. It was like, you know, when I did it with him, like I said, I knew him from back in the day, and I had always kind of put him on a bit of a pedestal because I've always been a big fan. And, you know, I'll tell you, if there's two young comics and one saying nice things about my career, and the other one's just being nice but not saying nice things about my career, I'm into the one who's into me. So, you know, Marin was always, like, cool to me because I was. I was a fan. But anyway, before I went on his cast, he had all these records. I was like, oh, I got records, too. And then, like, we sat down, we stopped playing some records before we went in, and we're talking about them and stuff, and I'm like, oh, this is like the bullpen. I don't know if this is normally done with his cast, but, boy, that's a time consumer. Imagine having to sit with each other guest before the show. Let's get to know each other over tea, and then we'll go record what the tea guy. I'm in. So consider Yourself, you know, in and out is the way to go with these things. I think Giannis was psyched about that. He's like, dude, half hour, boom.

[Patrick]

He's got a new special coming out. He. He reached out to me, said, hey, I got a new special coming out. Let me know if you could post it, what have you. So, yeah, good dude, Yan. Giannis Pappas, if you don't know who he is, great comedian. Also was, I believe, shot in a attempted mugging, which we found out when he came in on the cast about a year and a half ago. So, that being said, loose ends definitely right on the back of Marc Maron. That's right.

[Pete Corrielli]

If you.

[Patrick]

If you love Mark, he's not going to be on you. Shift over to loose ends.

[Pete Corrielli]

Hanging it up.

[Patrick]

We have something.

[Pete Corrielli]

We.

[Patrick]

We have something a little. And we're not going to get to it yet, but just to tease. Wet the beak. This is an old radio thing, what they used to do to keep people listening. We have a special game we're going to play here later on in the the show. So please, how come don't shut it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, radios, too. I was driving and the guy goes, and the sixth caller gets two tickets. And I was thinking, again, why the six? How come the first. The first. We're rewarding the sixth caller. I don't understand that thought process.

[Patrick]

You know, who's good at this? My sister used to win every time she called. I'm like, what? The 10th caller wins, you know, weekend getaway in Wisconsin. And she won. So. All right, let's talk about Caruso and his baseball game. So Caruso, I told you on the last cast, I think it was the Patreon episode where he went to the Dodgers game with me and he brought his mitt. And by the way, he kept his mitt on the whole time. He was eating a Dodger dog with his right hand. And on his left hand was the mitt. He didn't take it off just in case a fly ball was going to come his way. So I think what happened is, and this is a little shout out to the parents taking him to a baseball game, and then him playing in a baseball game the next day. I saw a different man out there.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, wow.

[Patrick]

He was all over the field. His hitting was tremendous. His fielding was outstanding. So much so that he walked away with the game ball.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, nice, Nice.

[Patrick]

Now, he's only five, but what's your take on this? And maybe this is the performer in me, but I tend to get a little excited when I'm there, you know, like, he'll. He'll do something. I'll get out of my chair. I'll go up to the third baseline. I'll clap. That's the way to go, big man. Or then I could see him. He might be looking at a bird. I'll be, you know, caruso, get your head in the game. You know, I'm that guy.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah, I like that. Parental coaching, your own child within the game.

[Patrick]

Yeah. So you don't see a problem. Like, he's got two or three coaches, but I'm like one of these maniacs from the sideline.

[Pete Corrielli]

I do it, too.

[Patrick]

Okay. So also, I feel like just because I'm a comedian, I have to put in some comedy with my yelling. So one time I just yelled out, and I go, caruso, stop thinking about your girlfriend. Let's go. You know?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Patrick]

I'll get, like, you know, muttering of laughs from not only our team, but I'm also looking at the other side to see if they're. They're laughing at some of my antics. What's your take on doing subtle stand up within a Little League game?

[Pete Corrielli]

I listen. I do it, too, But. And listen, we're good friends. I don't want to critique, but I was coaching third base the other day. They needed me for Sadie softball, and I felt I did it in a way. You look like you were doing it. I didn't look like I was doing it. It just happened. Like, we got a big. Our number four hitter was coming up, and I said, we'll call her name, Nancy. And I said, nancy, don't take my head off, all right? And everybody laughs a little. Then the first foul ball comes near me, and I. And I look up at her dad. I go, bobby, literally, the one thing I asked. Everyone's dying because it's natural. It's not really stand up, but it is. You're like, should I go with girlfriend? Or are you thinking about. I mean, you're doing a bit. Oh, God, you're writing. Did you have a pen? It was like, stand up. Sorry, I must've. You wong.

[Patrick]

That's fine.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's fine. Yeah, mine was much more natural.

[Patrick]

I don't know. I don't know if it was.

[Pete Corrielli]

I said before the game, another guy's daughter throws her. She's a big pitcher. I said, mike, you have a gun. Your daughter. What does she clock in at? And he goes, 55. I go, come on. I thought at least 62. He's now 55. Is a high. And the game starts. She's three pitches in, and I go, mike, that ain't no 55. I'm feeling a breeze over here, guy. Oh, everybody's dying. Again, natural within the game. It's what they. It's with yours is just like.

[Patrick]

I don't. I don't mean just because you bust my balls, I gotta bust yours.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Patrick]

I don't want to make this now, but I think you. I think it's like if I'm on the other side, I'm looking at you going, okay, you know, this is too much. I did one little thing, and I went back into the shadows. You're out there. Did you just coach the fucking game? Breeze.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm so involved. I'm like, Tommy Lasorda. I want to bring him back up playing the game. You're. You're. The other parents are going, oh, watch this. Watch. This is. His son plays. When his son comes up, he comes up to the backstop, cracks a joke, watches his kid hit and then backs away. And you don't see him again till the next. He's like a cuckoo clock. He's like a cuckoo cl.

[Patrick]

You got. You got it all wrong. This is. I'll give you one gem a game. And what the people are thinking going, is he going to do it again? And I don't. I dare to say. I gotta tell you, I gotta pat myself on the back.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Patrick]

I'm doing it so well that parents are coming to the game without their kid. The kid was sick, but they still wanted to come to see what I was gonna do.

[Pete Corrielli]

It's like. It's like different strokes. When little. What was his name? Arnold would go, what you talking about? Wilson? And he would only do it once a show. Willis. Oh, what you talking about? Willis? Yeah. I'm sorry, that's you. You. You're like. You'll only do one. Oh, you got to be there when he does the crack about his kid not paying attention. It's so funny. All right.

[Patrick]

Now, what you take of this? And I think we talked about this before.

[Pete Corrielli]

The.

[Patrick]

After the game, snack, right? Like, the kids get a snack after the game.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right?

[Patrick]

Right. Growing up, it was halftime. We got oranges. It was mainly fruit based. Right. What did you get playing soccer?

[Pete Corrielli]

I remember soccer. Only. Only thing. Only sport I ever got anything was in soccer. You got oranges at halftime, and then if it was a Sunday, you maybe got a can of soda, which was unbelievable after the game, if someone had them. Other than that. Baseball, you always go up to the Concession. Get some gum if you had some money. And that was it. But, like, I don't know when it became a birthday party. Tagged on to the end of the game.

[Patrick]

So this family starts, you know, like, each family, every week is their responsibility to bring the snack. And I'm looking over right now, I'm looking over and I'm like, what the hell are they handing out? I've never seen this one, bro. They were. They were handing out bags of French fries.

[Pete Corrielli]

Holy shit. Hot. Like warm fries. They were warm.

[Patrick]

They were warm. Warm fries they were handing out. I'm like, what the hell is that? French fries after the game. So generally, I don't have my kids. Do you know? It's similar to what I do on an airplane when you're sitting in first class and they offer the meal. And I go, I'm good. I turned down the food on the airplane, hoping everybody else hears me and go, did he just turn down the food? Maybe we should turn down ours. You're like, I'm hoping to start a trend.

[Pete Corrielli]

When you wash your hands in the bathroom now everyone's at the urinal going, now I gotta wash my hands. This guy was. Yeah, yeah. You said you're classing it up. You're trying to do that with the fries, right? If you could, wouldn't it be great if that parent was just sitting there with a box of fries and only their kids eating them? Yeah. No one wants your shit, right?

[Patrick]

But they don't get.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, I know. I got what you were going for.

[Patrick]

I want to go back to the hand thing. You ever in a public restroom and you got a guy washing his hands like a doctor? You ever get this guy that's like that? He's got. He's got the suds up to half of his arm, right? And he's going at it. Don't you feel like, you all right? This guy's gonna. You want to. You want to. You want to try to out soap me? And then I start, right? I start getting my heads cleaner than I normally would because this guy's aggressive with it. But going back to the french fries, Cruz was like, daddy. Because he knows I'm either gonna say yes or no. He asked me before, he goes and gets it, which I love. When I've established a permission to eat in my house.

[Pete Corrielli]

Very nice.

[Patrick]

I said, you won. You won the game ball today. Go, go, knock yourself out. Have some French fries. Right now they're also handing out popsicles. I'm like, what are they bringing?

[Pete Corrielli]

Refrigeration Here.

[Patrick]

The fries are hot. The popsicle's cold. What do you got in this fucking thing? Dry ice.

[Pete Corrielli]

They got. They got one of special Yeti. Cool. This guy. Everything's nice. Unbelievable. What you got going here? Like I said, it's a borderline birthday party.

[Patrick]

Yeah, yeah. And then they leave with treat bags like Gatorade, a toy. It's like, what are we. What are we celebrating here? Wow. Yeah. So I give him the fries. Seraphina asked for a popsicle. I said, no, you don't get a Popsicle. This is his game. This is his thing, you know? And I don't know how you work treats. We have treat night in our house. It's Monday and Friday. You have, like, a little ice cream. You have a little cookie, whatever. That's the only days you get anything sweet during the week. You don't get, like, we ain't eating cookies or crap. And that's just. Again, goes out to the parents, where I see these kids just constantly shoveling processed food in their gullets. And it's. It's. It's disgusting. I'm sorry.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, Sadie had. She joined this runner's club, right? It's not overweight kids or anything. It's just kids that want to run, and they all meet after school twice a week, and they run, like, outdoors, and they go running. So the other day before dinner, Jackie's like, you want some whatever, you know, she cuts up some fruit or something, and she's like, no, mom, I'm not gonna have anything till dinner. I had a rupee afloat. Jackie goes, what? Where'd you have a float? And she goes, oh, after the Last Runner's Club Mrs. So and so whoever's in charge let us all have floats. I mean, Jackie, like, what? Isn't the whole point of the runners club, like, to eat healthy and stuff? And you get in. It's bizarre to me, bro. It's bizarre.

[Patrick]

No, I'm telling you, it starts at a young age. And I think in this country, with the school system, the way it's set up, you'd be surprised. Even the private schools, the food is not good. It's crap.

[Pete Corrielli]

Last night I was having starbursts. Jackie had them in the candy drawer, which a pain in the ass. You got to get your thumb under there to unwrap the Starburst. So I unwrapped, like, five, like, peeling shrimp ahead of time. And then I brought them to the couch. Five unpeeled starbursts. And I'm popping them, and I'M telling her how I remember when I was a kid and Starburst first came out, they did a promotion where they put a full stick, you know, full size thing in every mailbox. And we woke up and my neighbor Ralph comes over. He's like, dude, there's Starbucks and all the mailboxes. We're getting on our bikes and we're going to mailboxes before people wake up. I ended up with, like, 10 big sticks of. Because we just got to the mailbox before people got up to check their mail. So we're, like, committing a federal crime to stuff Starbucks down our throat. What am I calling them? Starbucks.

[Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

Starburst.

[Patrick]

Are we. Are we getting there at this age now where you're just. You're just saying that's not even the right shit.

[Pete Corrielli]

Did I say Starbucks? Starbucks the whole time? Oh, twice. Oh, yeah. Well, thanks for catching it. But my point is, nothing's cheap. It's fine. It's fine. We're fine. They're gonna be fine. That's how I see it.

[Patrick]

No, I. I don't think it's fine to. To.

[Pete Corrielli]

I didn't like the. No sweets during the middle of the week. What are you, Amish? What the was that? I don't like that. I don't like that. If I'm coming to your house now, I'm giving the kids candy behind your back on Tuesday and Thursday. It's too harsh over there.

[Patrick]

Too harsh.

[Pete Corrielli]

Girl, kids. Because that's all you get, apparently, from Tuesday to Friday.

[Patrick]

That's right. Monday and Friday you get your sweet and that's that. I don't want a kid walking around here as a diabetic when he's 12.

[Pete Corrielli]

And I think if there was a leftover Seraphina, could have got one of the ice pops. I mean, it's as taxing watching a kid play baseball at that age as it is actually playing. She deserved a pop, too. Be honest with you. No, I'm going against you a lot today. I don't mean to, but I'm just like, you're a strict dad, and I know you're. You're bringing a little too much Sicily into the picture. I'm trying to loosen it up.

[Patrick]

You know what? You know what? It's the problem with today's parents. They're not enough. Sicily, right? Yeah, I'm all about Sicily.

I'm saying, how do you know it was rat different?

[Patrick]

Okay, okay, I looked it up. Oh, it's a rat. All right.

[Pete Corrielli]

Rat trap. So I got the snap trap.

[Patrick]

I didn't get the glue. I got the snap, but I got. Almost like you could catch a small bear in this thing, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Patrick]

Like, I'm. I'm afraid this thing, if it goes off, might behead the rat, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

No shit, bro. You're a goddamn fur trapper.

[Patrick]

Seraphina saw these and she's like, daddy, what is this? I said, we got a rat. She goes, oh, my. No, you're not. You're not gonna kill them with these, are you? I said, yeah. She's like, I don't want you to kill these rats. They don't deserve to die. Like, she's very into, like, animals and, you know, living and, you know all this. Yeah. Kind of like she wants to be a veterinarian.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right.

[Patrick]

So again, if your daughter tells you she don't want the rats dying, do you still keep up these snap traps or do you get a more humane way of doing it?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, God, of course. You keep them out. You know what my daughter wants to be, bro? You know my daughter? I'll give you one guess. What do you think she wants to be?

[Patrick]

I mean, she's great at the piano.

[Pete Corrielli]

Is he a pianist or a veterinarian guy? They all do. They still. It's, it's, it's a. It's from the days of them growing up watching Disney with Cinderella with all the animals around. It's Snow White. I mean, you know, so it's like, it's not realistic. By the time they hit about 13 or 14, by the time they start kissing boys, they'll understand. Some animals need to die. Don't worry about that. Yeah, I mean, come on, don't kill the rat. Of course you got to kill the rat. And by the way, how do you know you're not going to get though something else that doesn't deserve to die in that trap? That's a. That's a kill, catch all trap right there.

[Patrick]

Yeah, I could very well get a raccoon in this thing.

[Pete Corrielli]

Forget your neighbor's dog, bro. If the gates open, I could get my dog. Get your own dog. Yeah. Luigi. Oh, man.

[Patrick]

Yeah. So I don't know, I got four of them around and, and I Was like, yeah. So I. It's something about setting up traps for me is. Is exhilarating in the morning just to see what you caught. Yeah. If it went off, one of them went off and the cheese was gone. And I go, what did this guy do? Did he. Did he get snapped in the trap and fight it off, or did he steal it and then it went out after? So it's just like, I'm almost wanting to put a camera there overnight just to see.

[Pete Corrielli]

But when the cheese is gone and the trap went and the cheese is gone, it's exciting, right? Aren't you, like, oh, we're dancing. Okay, we're dancing. We got a game. We got a game. Like, what is he. Is he, like. He's taking his. His toe and he's just going like this, and then he's going in, right?

[Patrick]

Maybe, maybe.

[Pete Corrielli]

I don't know. I don't know. I feel like recording him is cheating. I feel like you got to keep it a little primitive, bro. You got. It's Davy Crockett. This shit. You against him. I don't feel like that. You have a right to. You could stay up at night if you want and see if he comes out, but you can't. You can't record, man.

[Patrick]

Well, I mean, you might be right. Yeah, Go ahead. What about.

[Pete Corrielli]

What is a part of you looking at Luigi going, what are you. What are you doing? Everything should fear this backyard. What. What. What are that? They're not fearing in the backyard. Right? It's the dog's job. Every squirrel shoots up into the trees. They shoot up. My dog loves it. He comes out with his chest puffed. And I joke with him. I go, you're the king of anything 3 inches or shorter, here comes tough guy. Right? But, like, so Luigi should be scaring rats away.

[Patrick]

I feel he's not scared.

[Pete Corrielli]

Friends? Yeah. He's not too friendly. Nothing?

[Patrick]

No, he's. He's not. He's not that type of dog. I. I gotta take matters into my own hands, and I'm hoping to God I catch this thing during the day. It's another thing. Do you think rats come out at all during the day? What. What's the take on rats at night? What is this shit? Do they sleep during the day?

[Pete Corrielli]

They might because it's cooler. They sleep during the day where it's cool below and they come out at night. But I have a bigger question with regard to the rat. You have guests in your home or you're having a party? A rat scurrying across the Living room. As opposed to a rat scurrying across the backyard. Is it equally gross and white trash, or is there a huge drop off in like, oh, my God, I can't believe what I saw. If the rat's outside on the property or. You know what I'm saying?

[Patrick]

Outside. Totally different. It's the. It's where they live. You got one inside. I'm thinking, has this house been cleaned in eight years? What's going on in here?

[Pete Corrielli]

All right, but. But outside, completely off the hook. Like, no, you're not going to look at Lana at all and go, just see the rat and run across the backyard. Right. Bottom. Buff it.

[Patrick]

It's disgusting.

[Pete Corrielli]

Last thing I want to say, by the way, speaking of all that, what is going on with technology and this AI? Where does it end? I'm sure you saw the Howie Mandel thing where they had that prototype of him or whatever. I mean, you're gonna. You're gonna have. It's gonna get to the point where you're gonna, like, instead of going to see a DiCaprio movie, he's just gonna be doing a monologue right next to your couch. Like, Patrick, Will, where are we on? I've been trying to be cutting edge on this, bro. It's getting close to being a snap away from this show. Being an Italian. Okay. With our same cadence and everything. And next thing you know, we can't walk around Rome because we're the number one podcast. What are we doing? I don't want to miss that opportunity.

[Patrick]

Why are you translating this into Italian?

[Producer]

YouTube has actually added a tool that's automatically able to translate into hundreds of languages, and then whoever's watching the show can select their language. This became available to anyone in the creator program about two weeks ago, and I selected the channel to make use of it. So from now on, future posts ought to have multiple languages available.

[Pete Corrielli]

What do you mean, future posts? Future shows? Yeah.

[Producer]

Future uploads to Sebastian's YouTube channel should be making use of this.

[Pete Corrielli]

Can we get a sample. Can we. Could we get, like, just a two minute sample of us talking back and forth? Is that possible in Italian? Or have I been saying Starbucks the whole time instead of Starburst?

[Patrick]

Yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, shit. Thanks for telling me. So, so in theory, you can now be an international radio show. Yeah.

[Patrick]

Wow. Yeah. So you could. You could be here. You know what? There's a. Did I show you the one? Go ahead.

[Pete Corrielli]

Do you think there's two, like, dudes in Japan right now going, oh, my God, we're gonna crush In America with our humor? Or do you think there's two dudes in Japan going, oh, wait till people in Japan here, Pete and Sebastian, they're never gonna tune into the Chin and Chen show ever again.

[Patrick]

Chin and Shed show. Oh, God. There is. There is one. Okay, I'll find it. Go ahead. So let's play this game. What do you got?

[Pete Corrielli]

Anyway, here's the deal, dude. I put out a post the other day of this pasta, and Jackie's like, oh, God. Sebastian sees that, he's gonna make fun of the pasta. Because what happened was the. It broke apart in the strainer, and I was like, whatever, it all tastes the same anyway. And it made me go online. And Jackie's like, you should know these. You don't, and you should. And she knew them a little bit, but I was like, I want to do this with Sebastian. How well do you know your pasta shells?

[Patrick]

By visual, I would say I'm 50.

[Pete Corrielli]

50, 50, 50.

[Patrick]

Now you give me 10, I'll get 5.

[Pete Corrielli]

Now if you. But here's the other question. Most of these that I'm gonna do with you right now, if you cut it in a way that you couldn't tell what it is in your mouth by its shape, and then you just chewed on it, doesn't 90% of all pasta taste the same? Isn't it just a different shape?

[Patrick]

I would tend to disagree because some pastas, the way they're shaped, are better for different sauce. So, like, if you have that bugatini or rigatoni with the. Sorry, the rigatoni, which is like spiral shaped, and you're having a Bolognese sauce, it's better for the Bolognese sauce because the meat gets caught in the ridges. You know what I'm saying? If you have a different noodle, it slides off and it doesn't.

[Pete Corrielli]

Again, that's shape to catch the meat. It's not taste.

[Patrick]

If you had a rigatoni noodle and then someone gave you a penne noodle, would they taste the same? I don't know. Does the shape cause a different taste based on the texture of it as you chew it? I don't know.

[Pete Corrielli]

Listen. There's certain artists that get accused of plagiarizing their own song. I can't think of a particular band offhand, but they go, guy, every song sounds the same. We've heard that about bands or artists. You said something really drastic last cast. The Patreon episode you commented on. You feel the weather in LA is a little overrated. And I'm gonna Say something drastic here. I feel that the whole idea of all these pastas being. They're all the same song. They're all the same song with a different title, and it's like I'm exposing it. It's bullshit. I wish I could be next to you right now and, like, just give a little piece of all these pastas, and you wouldn't be able to tell me by taste the difference. But we'll see if you can. Visually, though, we'll see if you can do that.

[Patrick]

Let's go. Let's do it.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right, shoot up the first one, Patrick. Okay. What do we. What is that?

[Patrick]

That, I believe, is gnocchi.

[Pete Corrielli]

I think that's noki, too. Is that noki, Patrick? Yes, it is. How can you. How do you pronounce it, bro?

[Patrick]

Gnocchi. Gnocchi.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, you're giving it, like, a little bit of a Y. Can't you just go silent? Totally on the gnocchi.

[Patrick]

Nyoke. Nyoke. Not gnocchi, bro.

[Pete Corrielli]

This is. This is a great SNL sketch. Sketch for you. All right, kids, Kids, put your social studies book away today. Today we're gonna learn the pronunciation of fucking pasta. I'm sick of it. Sick of this shit. Billy, how do you say this one? Nuki. Oh, God. Get out of. Go see the principal. Get the fuck outta here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from EBGLIS. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EVGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.

[Pete Corrielli]

Alright. What is this one called?

[Patrick]

Do you know?

[Pete Corrielli]

I know, like the. The. Usually the American, Irish white trash terms, you know, growing up, I love. You know, we'd call that the. The wagon wheel pasta.

[Patrick]

Like I was gonna say. Yeah, I was gonna say pin pinwheel. But like, what is the. What is it?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, like, what would they call this in Sicily? Did they go get the pin the wheel or do they say something different?

[Patrick]

No, I don't know. I don't know what this is. You know, it could be macaroni. I don't know. It could be. Macaroni.

[Pete Corrielli]

Is only the elbow. What is it, Rotelli?

[Patrick]

Yeah, I wouldn't have got that.

[Pete Corrielli]

You should know that. Shouldn't you know that?

[Patrick]

I mean, this is obscure. That's a. This is a penne noodle.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's a. Okay, wait, that's not a penny. I don't think that's the rigatoni.

[Patrick]

No, no, no, no, no. It's either. Yeah, that's a penny. That's a penny. What the fuck? Cannelloney cannellone.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, you see the little twisties on the outside? Oh, no, this is a new one now. Okay.

[Patrick]

Is this a new one?

[Producer]

New one?

[Patrick]

Yeah. Wow. I mean, depends on it. Could be. Oh, yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

It's.

[Patrick]

Alrighty. Is this timed?

[Pete Corrielli]

This is a ziti. No.

[Patrick]

Okay. Yeah, just wait till we tell you when we want it. We're sitting there trying to guess that this guy's putting the answers up.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's the most subtle version I ever heard of. What the fuck are you doing, guy? It's not a slideshow. And now this is when we got off the boat. This is where Carol got the coconut shell, bro. Stay on the photo after we. Excuse me. Okay. All right.

[Patrick]

Oh, this is. I mean, from where I'm Standing, it looks like ravioli.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's what I call that, right?

[Patrick]

Yeah, ravioli.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right, all right. Ravioli. Dang. Okay. I didn't realize. I know what this is because I looked it up. Do you know what this is?

[Patrick]

This is macaroni, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

And I think macaroni. And that seems, from what I read, this is the only thing that is macaroni, is that that elbowy piece like that. That is macaroni. This is. It's so funny, though, bro. That, like, nobody ever says, like, you know, antonio, I like it, but it tastes just like the ziti. No, no. What do you say? What do you say? Not even a close.

[Patrick]

This one. I want to say rigatoni, but I've never seen this shape before, ever, in a pasta. What do you think?

[Pete Corrielli]

What is that spiral one? Usually it's.

[Patrick]

Rigatoni. It's, it's what you see. Yeah, it's rigatoni. Yeah. I don't see it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, wow.

[Patrick]

Radiatory. Never even heard of it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, now you know. It's got that slit down the middle, right?

[Patrick]

This is the rigatoni.

[Pete Corrielli]

Sealy. Oh, yeah, it is.

[Patrick]

I know.

[Pete Corrielli]

I saw that spiral. All right, what is. I don't know what that one is. That's a little long.

[Patrick]

I'm gonna go with a guess here. I know this is probably wrong. I'm gonna go with Cavitelli. Nope. Casare.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yep.

[Patrick]

This is lasagna tagliatelle. Lasagna.

[Pete Corrielli]

Lasagna. Bingo. Damn. All right. I don't know how many more there are.

[Patrick]

They're going penne, ziti.

[Pete Corrielli]

Penne. See, there's a good example. Like, if someone said, can I get ziti? Oh, we only have penne. You go, ah, that's a bummer. I guess I'll take a hamburger.

[Patrick]

This is rigatoni. This has got to be rigatoni. I mean, no. Jesus.

[Pete Corrielli]

Have you heard of these things? Like, have you heard of rotini?

[Patrick]

Maybe this one. Do you got any idea what this is?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, let's see. That looks like a shortened version of.

[Patrick]

Of, I don't know, chef's head. I, I, I, I don't even know. Couldn't even guess. What is it?

[Pete Corrielli]

Cherry pacheri. Oh, is this that vermicelli one? Is that spaghetti? Or is it that. I know that one I heard.

[Patrick]

Looks like it's. Looks like it's too short to be spaghetti.

[Pete Corrielli]

Vermigili is something like that. Little worms in Italian. That's my guess.

[Patrick]

Nope.

[Pete Corrielli]

Video. All right. Oh, I have no clue what that one Is either. That's the. Isn't that the regular one? That's the one my dad would always have. That's just like rap. What do you call it?

[Patrick]

We used to call it. We used to call it. Oh, not even that. It's not mustachioli. Give it to us. What is it? That's rigatoni.

[Pete Corrielli]

Think of the name of it. But that's what I was gonna say.

[Patrick]

That's spaghetti.

[Pete Corrielli]

Angel hair. Ooh, that's a good one. I like the angel hair. You like angel hair pasta.

[Patrick]

Okay, so angel hair and spaghetti. What, they taste different.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yes, the angel hair is much lighter.

[Patrick]

All right. This is.

[Pete Corrielli]

You know, I guess you could say something for the way the shape is in your mouth. Affects the taste. But I hear what you're saying about it. Collects the sauce in the same in a certain way. And depending on that, it's pretty interesting, man. Do you. Do you ever go with one of those? Like, they had one. I didn't put it up there. It's. It's a gluten free one. It's dark and it's a gluten free pasta. Or is that, like, not even worth it?

[Patrick]

That. That's a sin. Really? That's a sin.

[Pete Corrielli]

I speak it, man.

[Patrick]

All right, so what's going on over at the Coriolis house for the last couple weeks with any. You, you. Pete Nauder? What are you doing over there? Okay, first, we're going to play that first. Before we go into that, think about that. I want you to see Michael Jackson speaking Italian. What's your take on this? All right.

[Pete Corrielli]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable, man.

[Patrick]

So, yeah, that's. That's AI or that's, you know, that ain't him.

[Pete Corrielli]

I mean, what you take? I. Listen, you know, I'm no Joe Rogan, but I feel like something like that, that can bring the world together, right? Like, seriously, think of it. The flip side, like, to be able to, like, be in your kitchen and go, you know what I want to, like, I want to hear pretend I live in Rome and I just woke up and I'm getting ready for my morning commute. And then you put on the Rome channel. Hey, it's Tony and Sydney coming to you from downtown Rome. Like, and, you know, like, it just, I don't know, seems like it would bring the whole world together. That aspect. What's freaking me out, though, is that looked real. And it's really, really getting difficult to believe anything that you see anymore. And I remember Patrick saying. Patrick saying a long time ago when we first asked him about this stuff. And he goes, AI is getting better every day. It's like learning and learning. So it won't take long before it can do this and can do that. And like the way it stands now, dude, I literally have no idea, like what's real and what's not. Like video wise.

[Patrick]

I mean, I think you could tell. Can't you tell if they have a AI? Mike Tyson, you could tell it's AI, right?

[Producer]

Yeah, it's getting harder to tell. And a lot of people, what they're doing now is they're shooting things for real and then telling people that it's AI and it's causing a lot of confusion. Oh, so now it's chasing its tail. It's gonna, it's getting very confusing now.

[Pete Corrielli]

Holy, bro, get your freeze dried food now.

[Patrick]

We could, we could put this post out and say this is our first AI episode. Like, we could try. We could say this is us, an AI. We never said any of this stuff.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, we didn't.

[Patrick]

So we don't even have to edit.

[Pete Corrielli]

See that? That was like a glitch with the AI when that happened. That was a glitch with short circles. Well, we wouldn't have to edit. We could say anything we want and be like, I, how could you? I mean, dude, they did politicians all the time when they say they were hacked by Twitter. Was hacked, you know, they hacked me. It's maybe the only thing good about it is maybe it'll. It'll all just cave in on itself like a house of cards, you know what I mean? No one know what's real or what's fake or what's not. So now no one's. You know what? I'm not watching anything except what's right in front of me. I saw you. A clip of you and Conan. I don't know if it was old, but you were both talking about reading at your kid's thing. You were on Cohen's cast. That was funny, man. That was funny. You were both very.

[Patrick]

That was a good clip.

[Pete Corrielli]

So it was real? Yeah, that was, it was real.

[Patrick]

Okay.

[Pete Corrielli]

You got to check now that's what the world's going to come to. So he kid hit home run. Was that real? No. Oh, Lana. AI, he struck Albo. He's like, like, I mean, that's crazy world, dude.

[Patrick]

All right, it's not. So, getting back to the Corelli household, what's. Any blowouts? Any problems?

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, the two biggest things I want to bring up is one, Sadie came home yesterday from a test. Sixth grade collapsed in the, in, in the room. So upset I didn't do good on this test. It affects your placement, affects this and that. And like she, first of all, she did good, but not what she wanted to do. And I just do not remember. And then like she's got to get up to go play piano to go do softball to sixth grade, bro. I mean, sixth grade. I remember a cartoon. Josie and the Pussy cats. Remember that cartoon? Coming home and watching that shit. I don't remember. Do you remember crying in sixth grade because the test didn't go well.

[Patrick]

No, the only time I cried in sixth grade was when I missed Soul Train.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right. Or, you know, God forbid you had a fire alarm practice during gym. Oh my God. During gym. Yeah, but it's a different, it's, it's a, it's a different world out there right now. So anyway, I just, I, you know, so I'm like, she's crying and Jackie's like, well, maybe if you do extra credit here, then I'm going, come here. And I'm like trying to. Don't worry about. You're in sixth grade. And she's like, dad, you don't understand. Like she don't even want that. She's like, dude, save you hugging, saying a Hallmark movie, right? I'm trying to get my shit together. I think 11. It's unbelievable. So that was stressful. But the other thing I want to bring up was last week she was supposed to have a softball game, an away game, which for us is like, you know, it was only like 30 minutes away, back roads to this other town. We had to be there at 8 o'. Clock. So we all to be up by like and on the road by 7:30 on a Saturday. And I was telling you a little bit it was like 43 degrees when we left in, in late May. And it was raining early June. I'm sorry. And it was raining. So you're like, is this game gonna happen? So you get out to this field and the other team had to switch fields because the one they normally use is underwater. Now the field they want to use, well, it's like, it's like, it's gr. It's like weed. It's like it doesn't look like, as one parent called it, it's an effing cow pasture. Because it's cow pasture now. All the girls on both teams, like, it's raining now. It's freezing. Everyone's in their cars waiting to decide what's gonna happen. The coach is out on the sidewalk on an Umbrella. Going car to car, talking to the other coach. Should we play? It looks like it's gonna clear up halfway through. I don't know. You know, I come out, I got the umbrella. What are we doing, bro? We're doing this. What do you think, Coach? And all the kids, the whole time, all the girls are chanting, we want to play, we want to play. Then the coach goes, you know what? It's like an angel food cake out there, Pete. You step in it and your cleats get stuck. It's like a sponge. Someone's gonna twist an ankle or something. They're gonna get hurt. We, I, I, we can't do this. All the kids, I go, all right. You know, old parents are disappointed because we're already out here. It's like, so what if it's raining? We're up. Let's do it. So now we gotta drive home. And I'm going to Jackie, you know, these and this, this is this. I want every coach out there to hear that. Teaches Little League and, and soccer and all of it. These parents do this for nothing. That's huge. And I know you know that. So, like, I'm like, going home. I'm like, I felt so bad for this guy, like, playing, you know, this guy's doing this for nothing. And now he's the bad guy. Like, you know, and like, so it's so ironic. The very next day, we're getting, like, ice cream. It's now, it's beautiful. Sunday, of course, the very next day, and we're down by the lake, and he gets out with his family. I see him, he comes over, I go, what's up, Coach? I put my arm around him. I go, listen, I just gotta tell you, man, God bless what you do, man. We all totally understand. You did what you had to do. And it's such a tough spot. You're driving out of there. Like, you know, I didn't, I want to play too. I don't want to be the bad guy. And you do it for nothing. And we thank you and we're so grateful. And I was like, I want to say that on the cast, every parent that does that gets off of their day job and then goes down there and, oh, the umpire didn't show. So now not only are you to manage it, now you got to go out and ump. Because there's no it. Just without them, what do you got, right? Are you ever going to coach? I just, I don't know if I have the time. Like, what if you coach and then they're like, we made the championship. And then they go, spielberg wants you for this insane cameo. You got to go. Good luck, kids.

[Patrick]

I say at the beginning of the season, listen, if something comes up that's better than being here, I'm leaving.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, I will coach your season as long as Tom Cruise doesn't call and ask me to do anything. Right. That's like.

[Patrick]

No. If I coached, based on what I'm seeing here in Los Angeles, I would be sued. I'd be sued by the parents. Someone would take a class action lawsuit against me for the, for how I, how I would speak to the kids.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Patrick]

At this point, I would be benching players. There's a kid on the team, the Crusoe's team. I get upset when he plays. I. I'm sorry. I tell Seraphina. This is what I tell Seraphina. He shouldn't be in the game. I shouldn't be in the game. She was one. I said, the kid over there should be in the game.

[Pete Corrielli]

They're so young. That's like, when they should be in the game. Like, nobody knows.

[Patrick]

Oh, no, no, no. You. You know, like, if my kid was falling during the stretching exercise, I'd say, let's, let's go home. Let's go home.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, that's the thing. One day they're writing his autobiography because he's like, leading the American League at home runs. He's like, when I first started out, I couldn't even stretch without falling over. But my dad said, get back up and keep stretching. But the father next to me, his kid fell down and he grabbed him and took him home. I think he's a math teacher now. Sorry, Making myself laugh.

[Patrick]

But, yeah, no, it's. I got Caruso doing golf lessons on Thursday. I told the. I. I went golf lessons yesterday. So I told the guy, I said, listen, I'm bringing my son in at 6 o' clock on Thursday. I said, he good with kids when it comes to golf. He goes, yeah, as long as the parents stay out of my way. I go, I ain't bothering you for nothing. I go, why? You get a lot of. You get a lot of parents interrupting your instruction? He goes, yeah, a lot of these parents think that they know, they know best when it comes to teaching their kids sports. I said, then why are they bringing them to you? That's. That's what I'm asking myself. And this goes out to all the parents. If you aren't good at something and you got a professional that's specifically dedicates his life to teaching other people the craft of whatever. Cooking, playing golf, parasailing, whatever the hell it is. You just stay out of the way. You don't come in there and adjust. When I go to this lesson, I ain't gonna talk, but I hear you.

[Pete Corrielli]

But you ever have moments like this where you're justified? Like with Sadie, with swimming? I go, like, after me, I'm like, you don't seem like you're jumping off that block with any urgency. When the gun goes off, pretend it's hot lava. Get off. Explode. You know? And I don't. You know, I don't know anything about swimming. So the next day, the coach. I'm at the practice, and the coach is going, sadie, you really. You want to explode off that block. You're not getting off it fast enough. And I look at Jackie, I'm like, oh, I can be an Olympic swimming coach. Holy shit.

[Patrick]

But that is more effort than technique. If you told Sadie, when you go off the block, make sure your right foot is. Is 6 inches from your left foot.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, yeah. I have no idea. Yeah, yeah.

[Patrick]

That's where it gets a problem. I got no problem saying, you're sleeping out there. Wake up. These are general. Kind of like, get your head in the game. That is okay. Once you start going, make sure when you get a ground ball, you put your body in front and put your right knee on the floor. I don't know the proper way to ground ball it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. Even when Sadie bats, I'm like, elbow up. Looks good to me. I mean, you know, then the coach is like, you want to twist your waist. And.

[Patrick]

And then.

[Pete Corrielli]

And then I do the leaning. You ever do the leaning where I'm like, you hear that, Sadie? Do it. You want to twist your waist. Listen to the coat. Twist your waist. I haven't heard of twist the waist thing, but I don't like the one. That pet peeve I have is when someone's child is up and they're batting and the ball is thrown, like, over their head. It happened with us just the other day. It's over the girl's head so she doesn't swing. And somebody else. What am I gonna say?

[Patrick]

What'd you think of the hand coming in on the shot?

[Pete Corrielli]

That's all right. It's very showbiz. It's like, yeah, I've seen that move. Good eye. Good eye, Karen. Good eye, Karen. It was two feet over a head, you know, like. Like, the good eye is just like. It's said too often. I don't like the good eye.

[Patrick]

Yeah, I don't like that either. I like to make up my own sayings.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, I like it. Yeah. What do you got? Can you.

[Patrick]

Depends on the moment. I don't. Good hustle. Can't stand it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Good.

[Patrick]

Awesome.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right?

[Patrick]

But us, Eye on the ball. Don't like that.

[Pete Corrielli]

Anything close now, when you have two strikes. Anything close. Anything close?

[Patrick]

Yeah. I can't give you one. And I got off the top of.

[Pete Corrielli]

My head, I go, more matter of fact. Like the other day, Sadie was up. She ripped one, man. She's doing good. But anyway, she was up. And I go, she didn't swing. It was a strike. And I go, why didn't you swing at that? Sadie was right there. And she said. And she goes, I didn't, dad. Like, she's so not locked in. And she's turning around to answer me. I throw. I'll throw a compliment. You have to do this to a player on the other team. I don't know names. So the third baseman will make a catch, and I'll go, good play third base. Good, good play third base. Just so they know I'm not just my kid, I throw them out to the other team a little bit, sprinkle them in like that.

[Patrick]

Yeah, you make a good point. I did that. I remember doing that this. This past Sunday, but I felt like I had to do it.

[Pete Corrielli]

You do.

[Patrick]

Even to even out the amount of accolades I was throwing at my son.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right.

[Patrick]

You know, I gotta go, all right. I gotta make. I gotta talk. But I equally. I equally chastise my kid when. When he's out there. Like when playing soccer. I told him, here's one. Here's one. I said. I said, when that ball comes off your foot, it should be like a rocket going right into the goal. Right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Patrick]

The way you're doing is weak. So you're weak. Gonna be a rocket right now. My hope is too. Other parents are picking up on this type of behavior. And just like I did a couple weeks ago at that birthday party where I told that parent that his kid was acting up and every other parent now was on high alert. That's what I'm hoping to do at these games.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Patrick]

Say, oh, wow, he's chastising his kid in front of everybody. Maybe I should get off the bench and tell my kid to get up during stretching.

[Pete Corrielli]

But that's why you could never coach coach, because you couldn't say that to the next kid. Right. You're being weak. You can only say that to your own child.

[Patrick]

Nah. Well, if I was a coach, bro, if I was the coach, it would be equivalent to Bobby Knight.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, No, I agree. I think if you were a soccer coach, I think you would, as a parent, see the effect on your child. Not only on the field, in life, coming down to school in the morning, dressed nicer, neater, homework done. Exactly like. Bobby Knight didn't just make basketball players, he made men.

[Patrick]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

Big time. Oh, yeah.

[Patrick]

And I'll put another layer. If I become the coach of my kids soccer club, I'm coming to the games in a suit.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, wow.

[Patrick]

Really? I don't look like the players.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. I don't do the sweatsuit.

[Patrick]

That's what I was talking about. Baseball. I don't like Tommy Lasorda at 68 trotting to the mound in a baseball outfit.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Patrick]

Why did, why do the managers look like the players? They're doing this in basketball. Basketball. Pat Riley, right? The epitome of class, comes to the game in Armani suits, slick back hair, the whole thing. Phil Jackson suit. I don't know if you notice the basketball coaches and what they're wearing. They look like they're a group of dads going to play pickleball. What they're wearing, they're wearing like, like zip ups. Who's the coach? Are you the coach or are you wiping sweat off the floor?

[Pete Corrielli]

Is there a practice right after the game? Are we having practice? Right, because they're at the. The coaches should be dressed. They used to be in suits. So right after the game, they go in the locker room, they say a few words to the team, they say a few words to the, to the reporters, and they're eating a steak before their players are even out of the shower. They're already at a restaurant with the staff eating a steak because they're already in a suit now. I couldn't agree more, bro. The whole world is turned upside down. You know how much money Cooper Flagg made last year for Duke, the basketball player?

[Patrick]

28 million.

[Pete Corrielli]

28 million dollars. He's taking a pay cut to go play for the Mavericks. I mean, he's not really. He's not. He's going to get his endorsement money, but so, so college sports is over, bro. It's just an extension. It's just sport. It's pro sports. It's pro sports now.

[Patrick]

But like, could you pull up an image of basketball coaches today in the NBA and basketball coaches in the 90s? And I just want to see the juxtaposition of what I'm talking about. Visually here. And, and. And to speak on the Cooper flag. And these kids that are 18 years old. So are you telling me a kid that's 21, 22 years old is at the prime of his basketball career opposed to a guy who's 32 years old? Like, for example, a comedian at 21 is not as good as he is at 41.

[Pete Corrielli]

I agree.

[Patrick]

Now, there's no. There's no athletic ability involved in being a comedian. But do you think that's the reason here? I'm trying to look for a good example of then and now. Yeah. So. So here, just. Yeah, bring that up. Bring that up. This is NBA coaches today. What they look like. This is what they were to the game. This is the orange. Preempt the orange.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, yeah. Rick Carlisle is ridiculous. It's like, what, are you going to a backyard barbecue? I mean, it's.

[Patrick]

It's barbecue work.

[Pete Corrielli]

It's disrespectful. Yeah, it's absolutely disrespectful.

[Patrick]

And then we got Riley here, who is decked out in the watch, the whole thing.

[Pete Corrielli]

And, you know, I tell you, the NBA is doing themselves a disservice because I distinctly remember as a kid watching the Lakers play the Celtics a prime time at night, and my mom not minding that while hogging the TV because she liked to look at Pat Riley, she goes, I love to see his suits, to see what he's wearing. So. So the women are getting a fashion show while the men are getting a basketball game. Now what are the women getting? They look over at Rick Carlisle and go, oh, my. Go. That guy. Sick.

[Patrick]

Oh, no. They look at Rick Carlile and then they look at their husband on the couch. It's the same guy.

[Pete Corrielli]

The same guy, exactly. Oh, that's so true, man. Oh, my God. Even Van Gundy used to wear a suit. Remember little Van Gundy?

[Patrick]

Oh, Van Gundy looked like hell. And he. This. The suit. The suit gave him a couple notches of. Of confidence, you know? Yeah, I remember Van Gundy when he went. Do you remember when Van Gundy got into the fight on the floor?

[Pete Corrielli]

Absolutely, man. And then Alonzo Moy treated him like a child in the kitchen, you know?

[Patrick]

Is Van Gundy still alive?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, God, yeah, dude. He was. He's the best NBA analyst, I think he.

[Patrick]

Oh, he's an analyst now.

[Pete Corrielli]

Or was his.

[Patrick]

Did his brother die?

[Pete Corrielli]

No, his brother's an analyst too. He was doing the championship.

[Patrick]

Yeah. All right, that's our time here. Pete Sebastian, thank you again for listening to the show, watching the show. And that's it. Everybody have a great, great week and we will see you next time. Pete, Sebastian, out.

[Pete Corrielli]

The show has ended. What do you think? There's two dudes in Japan going, oh, wait till people in Japan here, Pete and Sebastian, they're never going to tune into the Chin and Chen show ever again.

[Patrick]

Chin and Shed show.
