Sebastian Maniscalco
Sebastian show back again last week, I was talking about my vacation. Kind of monopolized the conversation. Let's, let's start.
Pete Coriali
That was entertaining, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But entertaining as it will be. We need to hear what's going on in your life. If there's been any.
Pete Coriali
I, I went to see the Counting Crows. You know that band?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, me.
Pete Coriali
Right? Okay. Dude, they're like my favorite band outside of Billy Joel. And when I had my booking agent reach out to see what, what, by the way, what's your take on that? Is that, is that like Jackie was like, she was like, oh, that's what you did. Because this is what I did. I, I said to my booking agent, I'm going to see the crows. I got my own Tickets. And is there any chance maybe you could reach out and see if I could. If you know who books him. If I could say hi before the show. And he goes, I'll ask around. And then my booking agent got back to me and said, dude, he said he'd love to meet you and that he'd also come on the cast. So I was like, holy shit. I was like, so is he aware of me? And he's like, yeah, he's aware of you. So then I was talking to my booking agent, just having a conversation a couple days after that. And the way he worded something, I was like, I don't know if Adam Duritz knows me or not, which doesn't matter. I didn't think he knew me when I originally wanted to meet him. So I said to Jackie, I don't know, Jack. Just be prepared for him not to know who I am. But it doesn't matter. We get to meet him, and that's all. I'm just excited to meet him. And Jackie goes, you still want to meet him if he doesn't know you? And I go, well, I didn't think he knew me when I originally wanted to meet him, so why would that. And she was like, yeah, just. I don't know. People do that. And I was like, now you're making me feel weird about it. I go, it's weird that I want to. And she goes, well, what about when people want to meet you? Are you cool with that? I was like, it's a hassle. And now I'm like, I don't know. Am I putting this guy out and shit? But then I'm like, I don't give a shit. I got a chance to meet him. I want to meet him. But then it was 86 degrees. 86. And this is an outdoor venue, so I'm wearing shorts and loafers, but I brought cool pair of jeans in the car. But once I left the car, I couldn't come back. So I'm like, do I wear the jeans? Because I'm gonna get a photo with Durrets, and I want to look cool, but then I'm gonna be dying the entire show. Or do I just go with the loafers and the shorts? Get a. Get a photo. And I went with the loafers and shorts, and I regret it, bro. I look like a dork. I look like a dork, man. You know? But when I went to meet him, the lady was really nice, who set it up for me, his assistant manager and stuff. So we go back and as we're walking into his green room, she goes, we're about to go in. And she goes, he's in his inverted chair for his back. So she's like, so he's in his inverted chair.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So I go, oh, he's upside down.
Pete Coriali
That's what she said. I go, will he. Will he be in it when I talk to him? And she's like, yeah, yeah, he does it before every show. So then she opens the door and she goes, hello, Hello. And bro, all you see are two tips of two cowboy boots sticking up. That's all you see. Cuz he's on his back. So you just see the tips of his cowboy boots. And I'm not even entering because I see that. And I'm like, oh, should I weigh it? And she's like, no, no, no, come on in. Now, to Adam Durance's, you know, credit, as soon as I came in, you know, he. He didn't want to talk to me in that thing either because he. Oh. And he flipped up out of it. Flipped straight up and got right out of it. And I'm like, oh, thank God. I thought I was gonna have to look down at him. I really love your stuff.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So he goes, we're not just skipping over that.
Pete Coriali
All right, all right, all right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now, you know, when you have somebody to meet backstage, Lindsay will come up and go, hey, Pete, your guests are here. I'm going to bring them back now. Same thing for me. Hey, guests are here. I'm going to bring them back.
Pete Coriali
All right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I would, I wouldn't. You shouldn't have saw that.
Pete Coriali
I feel like he might have said that to her later. Like, let me get out of the chair before you bring Pete back, because now he's talking about it on the gas.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know, though.
Pete Coriali
It's rock and roll. It wasn't like, meet by this hallway and we'll talk about, like, you know, when we do meet and greets. It was, you know, just come back to his green room. He knows you're coming back before the show, but, you know, so he popped out of that chair and he goes, let's sit down. I mean, dude, this guy is so cool. What? I mean, I just like him even more now. So we sat down, me, him, and Jackie. Again, I'm three feet away. He's in jeans and I'm in loafers and bandies. And he's probably like, hey, I'm going on stage in 20 minutes. I'm looking at a guy's fucking knees. I don't need this shit a little too, too much. That's how me and you feel. But then, you know, so. And this is. No one was there but the three of us. So we're chatting for a while. He was really cool. You know, he's asking questions and stuff like that. And then I said, can we get a photo? And no one else was there to take it. So Jackie, Jackie took the photo. And then he's walking me out, walking us out again. Really nice guy. And as we're walking out, his assistant comes back over and she's like, oh, I'll take over. Great, thank you. I'm glad you got to meet him. And then I said, listen, now that you were here, do you mind, Adam, would you take another one with my wife too? And he's like, of course, no problem. So I'm glad I was able to get her in it. And then we're walking out and then he yelled back, oh, Pete, by the way. And I come back, I'm sorry, I'm all over the place. But when I first met him, I said, listen, I'm such a huge fan. I'm a stand up comedian. What I was gonna say is, I'm a comedian and I listen to your stuff when I get back to my hotel every night. I just love putting it on. So I go comedian. And he goes, I know who you are, man. Funny man. I know the cast. So I was like, holy. So at the end, he called back and he goes, listen, we're, we're downtime in August. I'd love to come on. Get a hold of me then. So I don't know if we're going to be doing more of these Kane Brown sort of interviews where they're not in studio with us, but I thought that went pretty well. So Adam Durwitz is down to join. I think the sky's the limit now, bro. I think we can have on lots of people if we do it this way.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is becoming a music forum.
Pete Coriali
It really is. I mean, this is becoming the place to go to to find out the latest news in rock and roll and country. He was awesome. So it was a great show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm not a music goer, concert goer, so I don't have a lot of experience with this.
Pete Coriali
Well, I like to sing along. I'm a big sing along guy and I know a lot of people. Stern just did a whole rant on his show about how he can't stand when people sings along. He thinks that's trash. What are you doing? Like, meaning When I do that, I find it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I kind of agree.
Pete Coriali
Well, I'm not ruining your show. I'm just doing it my way.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But nah, I don't know what it is with the. Cause I went to. The last one I went to was Beyonce. And all around me, people are singing and dancing and. And I'm looking around going, just what?
Pete Coriali
Just leave it to her.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. I don't know, man. Music doesn't affect me in that way. I don't sit there, and I'm not.
Pete Coriali
That's what I was doing. I mean, I was dead center looking at him going long December. And there's reason to believe maybe this year. And I feel like if I was a singer and I see that person singing along with me, I'm like, wow. But maybe not.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Maybe it's annoying.
Pete Coriali
But anyway, that was that. So that was fun. And we're gonna have Duritz on, and that's that. And did you go to any shows, by the way, when you were in Italy? Did you go to any kind of. I know you went to see the opera singer the last time you were in Italy or one of those times, but nothing like that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I didn't go to any concerts or anything while I was in Italy. But I did take my mother for her 80th birthday to Amalfi coast. She met me with my sister in the Amalfi coast. Her dream was to go to Amalfi. So my sister and her come out to meet us. So we check in. And I want to get your take on unpacking while on vacation. Do you live out of the suitcase, or do you take all your items, hang them and put them in the drawer. And then put your suitcase somewhere in the room? What's the vibe?
Pete Coriali
How long are you staying, man? Has a lot to do with it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Five nights, man.
Pete Coriali
That's unpack. Let's unpack. What's your anything over three nights? About three.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Three nights.
Pete Coriali
Three. I live in a bag. Four and above. I start to move in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so I unpacked everything. This is what I'm doing, too. And this is a little travel hack. We had six large suitcases. We traveling for 20 days. Probably could have went with. Four. We could have. Probably went with. But I unpack everything, and I tell the bellman, come up and store the bags downstairs. I don't want any bags in the room. Too much quiet for me. Yeah, get him out of here.
Pete Coriali
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So took the bags down. The room that I got came with laundry. So laundry was included in the room. I have to tell you laundry while traveling, for whatever the reason, is expensive. I mean, one shirt, $18. It's ridiculous. You ever look at the prices on the laundry thing? It's ridiculous. This came with laundry, and I have to tell you, I don't know what they're doing in Italy when it comes to laundry, But I got the garments back and they were softer than when I first bought them. The way they fold. Unbelievable. They come in a beautiful box with like, you know that paper you get on a gift? Yeah, yeah, beautiful. It was just well worth the price of admission. So anyway, we check into the hotel. Mom is there. We went to a cooking class that we. Her name is Mama Agada. Cooking class in the Amalfi Coast. I can't tell you. You gotta go. If you're in the Amalfi coast, you gotta go. It's at her home. Beautiful home. Since we were last there. She added a pizza oven. She's got a pizza guy. Kids were making pizza. We were making Bolognese sauce. There's a lemon orchard there that you go and look at. She's got turkeys on the property. It's beautiful.
Pete Coriali
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Definitely have to go there. Then we met Lana's parents in Puglia. I want to jump and I don't normally do this. I got to tell you, I'm going to start opening myself up a little bit more. There's two things that happened at the pool. One was good, one was bad. I pulled a Pete at the pool.
Pete Coriali
Okay. Are we in Puglia?
Sebastian Maniscalco
We're in Puglia at the pool at the hotel. Kids are at the kids club. My father in law went down and reserved four seats for his wife, my mother in law, myself and Lana. Four seats at the adult pool. Now, when you reserve seats down there, it's not like we're white trashing it with like books and putting stuff down. You know, like how people do. They. They wake up at 6am and they go, reserve seats. With a shoe.
Pete Coriali
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The way, you know, the seats are reserved at this hotel is that there are towels on the seats, on the lounge chairs. If there's no towels, that means the seat is available. If there are towels, they are taken. My father in law put a bag there, just a little bag with suntan lotion and whatnot. I came down, I saw the seats that he had reserved. I laid down on one of the seats. So the way it is, there is two seats. There is a space and another two seats. All right, I'm on my phone doing stuff on my phone. I Had just got done working out, so I had my workout clothes and I had my, my sneakers on. And I'm just waiting for Lana to come there. I notice a couple setting up shop on our seats. Oh. So I kind of glance over and I'm like, should I say anything? Nah. Because I felt like I, I didn't notice them in time to say, hey, those are my seats. They were kind of getting settled in, okay. So I'm like, all right, maybe the guy is going to say something, the guy that reserved these seats. Because I know my father in law tips the guy, so the guy's on the lookout. Sure enough, guy comes over and tells this couple, couple who are in their 60s. I'd say it's a reserve, the seats are reserved. Well, there's nothing right away I'm, I'm angry with the guy's response to the Italian guy that works there. There should be a, something here designating that these seats are taken. This is ridiculous. I'm so sorry, sir, but the gentleman. I don't care what this is. We're getting settled in and now it's an inconvenience for us to get up and go look for another. I'm like boiling. They're starting to walk past me, bitching, this is ridiculous. And the wife is going, honey, don't go over there to get the seats. Come back over here. We're going to get to see. As he's passing me, he knows they're my seats. And he says this so I could hear. People should have some consideration for other people. That set me off, bro. I went white, I saw white. I took my, I took my shoe off and I threw it on, on the seats. I go, there, now they're saved. I, I go, you had you happy now?
Pete Coriali
That's great. That's fucking great, man. I love it. That is so American. Was he American? Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, no, English. English, British. And he saw this and he goes, you should just have more consideration for other people, right? And I didn't say anything. And the guy had the nerve, the nerve to sit behind me. Now we got this tension in the air, like he's sitting behind me.
Pete Coriali
I'm sorry, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
After you have somebody throw a shoe like that, me, I'm getting as far away from this psychotic as I possibly can.
Pete Coriali
No shit. Not gonna stare at the back of his head the rest of the day. Holy shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And I didn't like the way he was treating, you know, the guy who worked, he was talking down to him. So that's why I kind of like got crazy. So I'm like, all right, Lana came, I told her the whole thing. I told my mother in law, my father, I got a guy behind me psycho. So I psychoed out on him. I out psychoed him. You ever like, this guy's acting a certain way and then he runs into a guy that's completely unhinged?
Pete Coriali
Takes it to another level? Yep, that's exactly what you did. Meanwhile he's sitting down with his family going, we got a fucking psycho in front of us. Yeah, same thing about you. I hate that shit, man. That told Chase lounge chair bullshit, you know, like, it's such a pain in the ass. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of Unlimited Premium Wireless $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So there goes my big idea for the commercial.
Pete Coriali
Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment.

Pete Coriali
Where is this pol. What is it called? But a P. I never even heard this.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Puglia. It's near Bari. B A R I. It's on the east coast of Italy. You gotta go. You gotta go. You don't have to leave. You don't have to leave the hotel. They got so much to do there. It was. The food was outstanding. God, it was outstanding. Anyway, I went in the pool with Lina and we met two couples and then a guy. So five people. The guys were. And one of the guys was a polo player. He was ranked number one in the country about five or six years ago. And we start talking polo now. This guy's my age. Our age, three of them. They're in their 50s, never been married. They got girlfriends probably in their mid to late 20s, right?
Pete Coriali

Sebastian Maniscalco

Sebastian Maniscalco
And he's like, all right, this one I'm using for two minutes. I take that one out, put this one in. It's a whole thing. These. These polo things are like. It's a whole. He broke it.
Pete Coriali
Holy shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
He broke his leg when a polo ball hit him in the leg. You know, these polo guys, this is. This is a different.
Pete Coriali
Different breed.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And this guy's stunning. And I even asked him, I said, do you have to be good looking to be a polo player?
Pete Coriali
Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Because this guy comes from a lineage. His great grandfather was a polo player. It's, like.
Pete Coriali
Fascinating, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Any polo player you ever seen, none of them are either overweight or ugly. They're all, like, stunning guys.
Pete Coriali
My knowledge of polo. Remember when she went to the polo match with Richard Gere and Pretty Woman? That's all I ever really ever. I mean, I don't think I've ever even seen it played.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I haven't even.
Pete Coriali
I mean, the ball can break your leg. What kind of sport. The ball can break your leg. Do you know this guy's name? I'd love to see what he looks like.
Sebastian Maniscalco
God, what is his name? I think Lana might know his name. Anyway, these guys were, you know, like. I always tell Lana, I feel like I haven't really met a good group of guys to hang with. Like, I don't have that. Do you have, like, hey, come over and we're gonna.
Pete Coriali
Oh, in town?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Coriali
No, I don't have that. I mean, I got a guy. I got a couple guys I'm friendly with that I like. But no, I don't have, like. Well, me and the guys, we get together once a week for cards or something.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When's the last time you've done anything like that?
Pete Coriali
Yeah, never, really. The guy down the block from me, he's single guy about my age, and he has a card game, like, every Wednesday. And I'll, like, walk my dog and I'll see. Sometimes I'll see them in the garage and they'll yell at me. They've invited me down, but it's not.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Like, so what's the reluctancy?
Pete Coriali
I don't play cards. I don't know how to Play cards? I don't. I'm not gonna. Like, I don't got the time to play cards on a Wednesday night in a garage, bro. I mean, I do, but I don't. What about you? Like, what do you. You wanna get together with a bunch of guys once a week and do something? Is that. Is that the yearning here?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Coriali
Well, I mean, I thought you were gonna try and join a golf place, but they get that whole thing got crazy. I mean, are you gonna golf anymore? You getting back to that?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm taking golf lessons with my son now, so it's like, do I gotta wait till my son is old enough where I could just start hanging out with him and his friends? Like, I have.
Pete Coriali
The best man. You're going to be the best man at your son's wedding. Holy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's your take on that? What? You take on dad being the best man at the wedding.
Pete Coriali
I've seen that move. Yeah. Yeah. It's too much. It's too much, right? Dad's dad. That's a job. That's. That's what I do. I'm dad.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right. Okay.
Pete Coriali
How does the best friend feel about that? Like, I got bumped for dad.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, here's one. Have you ever been a best man?
Pete Coriali
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
For who?
Pete Coriali
My buddy. Buddy of mine, Dan. Larry's brother. Actually, I was the best man for him and then my brother. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's your take? Have you ever been a best man? My brother. Your brother? I've never been a best man. What's your take on going best manless for your career?
Pete Coriali
That's what you're staring down the barrel at now, bro. Unless Petrelli gets divorced.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Who was your best man? Your brother?
Pete Coriali
Yeah, my brother was my best man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Did he get married before you?
Pete Coriali
No, he got married after me.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Do you think there was another guy other than you that he could have picked, but since you're is the brother, you had to pick each other?
Pete Coriali
No, I mean, we're close. We're definitely close, but, like, if he was going out on a Saturday night to have a blast, he's got buddies he would hang out with over me. We. You know, we. I've. You know, we're not each other's first choice to party with because we're four years apart. We have different friends. But I think for best man. Yeah. I mean, I don't think there was anyone else where he's like, I really wish. I don't think he's got a buddy going.
Sebastian Maniscalco
If I didn't have a brother, you.
Pete Coriali
Know, it would have Been you.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You know, and vice versa. There was nobody in your life that you would have picked other than your brother?
Pete Coriali
No, no, there was nobody. I mean, the guys that, you know. Larry was in my wedding party and Jackie's brother was in my wedding party, and that was about it, man. A small wedding party. I didn't have, like a zillion guy. How many guys did you have?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think I had five.
Pete Coriali
You still roll with everybody. Who was in it?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Petrel, Lana's brother, my buddy Eric. Who's the best man? George, John, Steve. Six. Six guys.
Pete Coriali
Who was Eric's best man when he got married?
Sebastian Maniscalco
His brother. His brother. See, I got knocked out. And then. This is my excuse. I got knocked out of a lot of the best man responsibilities because those guys had brothers.
Pete Coriali
Right, right. What do you mean a lot? You said a lot. Like there was several times you felt like you would have been best man, but got Eric, basically.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Coriali
Wow.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Not several. I'd say three. Three times I could have been best man, but I think I got bumped because of the brother. That's at least what I'm going to.
Pete Coriali
Who gives a shit? You're right. Now that I think about it, you don't even need a best man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm going to give you one that you might. That you might really have a problem with. I was the maid of honor for my sister.
Pete Coriali
Whatcha?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Dang. What? You even heard anything like that?
Pete Coriali
Wow, you guys are close, man. That's so wild, bro. You were never a best man, but you were a maid of honor. Did you throw the. Did you throw the corset?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Listen, she had two other girls in her wedding party, so during the wedding, she had a long dress. I didn't know if it was my responsibility to, like, go behind my sister and fluff out the dress.
Pete Coriali
Oh, who did you come down the aisle with as the maid of honor?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Myself.
Pete Coriali
Oh, wow. You threw a wrench into the whole thing. I'll tell you that much, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I came down by myself, I think. Did I?
Pete Coriali
So you were the one, like, standing right behind her when she's up there and they're going, do you take this man to be your. And you're the one standing. Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I gave the ring.
Pete Coriali
Oh, wow.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So, yeah.
Pete Coriali
She got married way before you, right? Like many years before you?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no. Maybe three or four. Yeah, four.
Pete Coriali
Oh.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So anyway, we met these guys and had a ball with them. And I generally don't meet people, like, on vacation, but having kids. We met another couple from Toronto. They had kids. Our kids got along and then we ended up, like, sitting dinner with them. It was nice. It was one of these vacations where normally we're kind of like in our own bubble, but with kids, it opens up the whole thing to a bunch of different people. And the people we met on vacation were. Were nice. Like, Seraphina and this girl are like pen pals now. Like, they're sending each other, like, letters and whatnot.
Pete Coriali
So is she from America, too? The people you met or. No, that Seraphina met.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Canada.
Pete Coriali
And did they know you? Were they familiar with you?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yes, yes. But it wasn't made. It wasn't. It was like, we're just in the conversation. And then it came up later. Oh, we went to go see you, and last time you were in Toronto and.
Pete Coriali
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Cool, man. What a trip. The Pete and Sebastian show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Close your eyes. Exhale.

Not all meals are created equal. For instance, breakfast has the spicy egg McMuffin for a limited time and lunch doesn't.
Pete Coriali
McDonald's breakfast comes first.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm gonna give you a scenario that I flew on ITA Airlines. ITA used to be called Alitalia. Now they're ita, right?
Pete Coriali
All right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I said, all right. I flew Alitalia with my father when I took him to Italy about 10 years ago. And I vowed that I would never fly them again. But I figure, oh, they rebranded. Let me give them a shot. We check in. The woman tells me, your bag is over limit. I said, okay, I'll pay the fine. Because normally there's a fine. I'll pay the fine. No, no, no, you can't. You gotta. If it's over 32 kilograms, which is 70 pounds, bag was over 70 pounds.
Pete Coriali
That's heavy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
They're going to leave it here. I said, what if I put this bag through and it's over 32kg, the guys will not put it on the plane. They'll leave the bag. I go, you're telling me. You're telling me I'm going to get on the plane and my bag is not because it's too heavy. Yeah. The guys won't lift it, so they'll leave it here. I go, how do I get my bag back then? I don't know. Okay, so here I am taking out shoes to put in another bag. We check in, we go to the security checkpoint. Now, to get in the security checkpoint, you have to scan your ticket and a gate opens. Nobody's manning this. Nothing. I put all the tickets in. Three tickets. I put the last ticket in. It's not working. So my family is there and I'm behind the gate and I can't get in. I keep scanning it, scanning it. Nothing. I go back to the check in counter. They gave me duplicates. It's Serafina twice. I didn't even look at the tickets. It's not even my name. So I got to get reissued, okay? Two strikes on ita. And when I go back. When I go back, they tell me, your seat's broken. I said, I'm sorry, what do you mean it's broken? Because I'm going from Bari to Rome, Rome to la. I go, what flight is it broken on the long one or the short one? The long one. Oh. I go, what's wrong with it? The. The footrests don't go up. No, that's the whole reason you're in business classes, to lay it out.
Pete Coriali
It makes a bed. It makes it a bed.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Right.
Pete Coriali
Holy shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So we fly Bari to Rome, and I got the greeter to kind of whisk us through the airport. It's another fee. You get a guy who's there with a sign who's going to take you to your connecting flight. Which is a. The reason I got him was like. It was like a tight connection, and I needed him to, like, speak Italian through this maze of.
Pete Coriali
Right, yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So we get to the lounge, the eat a lounge, and in Italian, this guy's communicating with the people that, my seat is broken. Can we get another seat? He goes, go sit down in a lounge. I'll take care of this. He comes back 10 minutes later with a look on his face. I go, what's the problem? He goes, I couldn't switch the seat, but there's another issue. I go, what? The other seat's broken? Two out of four seats are broken. What's the problem with that one? Them footrests don't go up. So I'm thinking, all right, we'll just put the kids in these seats, because the kids don't need. Kids are small. So I get on the plane the flight attendant says I can move the seat back in a bed, but I have to do it manually. I said, okay, so when I want to, I gotta get you. And then you. You know. So there's no like up and down, up and down.
Pete Coriali
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's either.
Pete Coriali
But at least it can go flat. At least it can.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It can go flat. So we worked it out. It wasn't a big issue. But what you take. What you take on this? Oh, God. I can't believe I did this. I wrote a letter to the airline.
Pete Coriali
What? I didn't hear any of that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What did you say? I wrote a letter. I wrote a letter to the airline.
Pete Coriali
Oh, God. Oh, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But what's your take on this? In the letter, I told them I ain't expecting nothing. I know you probably get these letters constantly. I know the airline business like the back of my hand. Just wanted to write this and let you know what happened.
Pete Coriali
Right. I like that angle. You're letting them know. Listen, I'm not fishing for any kind of credit. Keep your money. Let me just tell you what I have to say.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I even told him. I said I flew you guys before I gave you another shot because of the rebranding. I said everybody that works for you was very pleasant. The flight attendant, the people at the gate. But 32 kilograms. And you're going to leave my bag, number one. Number two, they reissued me duplicate tickets. And number three, two out of my four seats are broken. And by the way, here's another one that I didn't even. 12 hour flight. And this is Italian Airlines, right? 12 hour. And Italians are known for food. One meal for a 12 hour flight, I would expect. Italians are bringing out food left and right every hour. I feel like you get a pasta dish, right?
Pete Coriali
Yeah, yeah. But at least the breakfast and dinner in that situation, I mean, that's crazy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
One meal I got.
Pete Coriali
Why did you even try to sail on? Why didn't you stick with like Delta.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Or something like that? I should have went with probably an Air France or a Lufthansa. I think Lufthansa for me is one of these European airlines that. Yeah, you're not going to get the warm and fluzzy flight attendant. The Germans are not known for being warm and fuzzy. Just come out and, you know their seats ain't breaking. And if they do, the flight attendant, probably, he's got a toolbox to fix it himself, right?
Pete Coriali
No shit. Yeah, they'll get it fixed. They'll get it done. Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You ain't getting a smile while they're giving you the bread. But. But you're.
Pete Coriali
You'll get the.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But that's the last time I'm flying. Eat the airlines. But anyway, it was a good. It was a good vacation. It was a good reset. I got a lot of sleep on this vacation that I normally don't get at home, so got a lot of rest. It was a long time, but it was. It was. I didn't feel like, oh, I felt like at the end of the vacation, it was time, you know, I didn't feel like, oh, I want to stay. I. Or we should have left earlier. I felt like, you know, 20 days on the road is a long time.
Pete Coriali
It's a long one. You know, It's a long one. Sounds like it was a great one, though. I saw that one video where you guys are trying to drive down the road and there are all these sheep on the road that were coming by. And I heard someone say in the video, like, is this twice a day? Twice a day job, just walk sheep twice a day?
Sebastian Maniscalco
What he was doing was he was taking the sheep up to the forest. He called it a forest where they eat and then they go back down. So it's like sheep has been doing this for probably before the road was even there. Right. And that's the way Italy is. It's like, you know, we ain't. We ain't changing, what, the time with the times, right?
Pete Coriali
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, we'll take. We'll take sheep right down the main artery of the. Of the mountain. Love it.
Pete Coriali
What a great country, man. Magical. Magical, man. Shit. That's awesome. Great trip, man. Well, you weren't there for the 4th, right? You were already home.
Sebastian Maniscalco
4Th of July. I was home, yeah.
Pete Coriali
Did you do Anything on the 4th?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, we went to two parties. One party and then one firework thing. We went to see fireworks at a country club.
Pete Coriali
When we woke up on the 4th of July, it was 42 in Lake Placid. When I woke up, I was ready to murder people.
Sebastian Maniscalco
How was. How was the lake? Lake Placid? The only time I've ever heard Lake Placid is when the U.S. beat Russia.
Pete Coriali
That's it, baby. Top 10 mountain towns as voted on by Outside magazine to live or visit. It's a great mountain town, bro. It's a beautiful, little cute mountain town. And we've gone before. We went with other couples, and they have kids, and we go away with them every Fourth of July now. It's become a tradition. Us and two other couples with their kids. Last year, we rented A big old house in the middle of nowhere with a pool, which was fun. A big old farmhouse. But this year, Jackie and I told them about this. We're like, we get these hotel rooms with sliding. You know, you have a nice hotel room, you open up the door, it's beautiful, plush grass, and you're looking out at Mira Lake. It's right in front of you. It's a beautiful small lake. When you stay on Lake Placid, the whole town is on Mirror Lake. And you can't have motorboats on there. It's just a beautiful lake. And then Lake Placid itself is a little bit in the background and. Yeah. And you just got access to all the water stuff. But like I said, 42, my buddy was wearing jeans. Dude, I was so pissed. And then the next day was a little warmer. But the day we get up to leave, I mean, each day it warmed up to about 70 degrees, which is like on the bubble. But the big thing I want to bring up, and I don't know if I've reached a certain age in my life, and I didn't realize this was happening until after it happened, but to have a decent fireworks show that goes on at Lake Placid. So the fireworks show starts up, and we got a fire. We had lit up a fire we got going over here, and you can't. You got to get up from the fire and walk over and observe the works. There's some trees in the way by the fire. So halfway through the fireworks. Sit down for a minute. I'm talking to a friend of mine, and we both go and sit down, and we end up bullshitting, drinking beer. And then the fireworks ends, and everybody comes over and I dawned on me, and I don't think I had ever done this before in my life. I walked away from a fireworks show mid show, and I'm like, did I? I think I reached an age. I'm like, I'm a little fireworked out. Like, they don't affect me anymore. They're like, I could like, easily not look up. I don't know how I feel about that. Does that make me getting old and lame or what?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I came to.
Pete Coriali
You're not wooing me anymore.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Pow, pow. I mean, you know why?
Pete Coriali
Why?
Sebastian Maniscalco
There's certain levels of fireworks. So I've seen fireworks shows where the fireworks are different. Like, oh, my God, I haven't even seen that before. Right. I feel like there's a premium package of fireworks, and then there's like a one below that one below that one below that. So I think it depends on the firework, but I felt the same way too. What do you think is a good amount of time for a firework show? How long?
Pete Coriali
I do know this answer. I feel. Because before I answer it, let me say this. You haven't noticed. You can tell when a Good or bad. You can tell when a fireworks show is coming to the end. Like a good comic saving his best joke for last. All the. All the work start coming. And when I see all of them coming, my enjoyment level gets hyped to the point where I'm like, why. Why isn't the whole show like this, right? We. I don't need a 40 minute show. I need a 10 minute Vietnam. You know what I'm saying? I need 10 minutes of Putin on Ukraine. Like, you know, just like. And then when it ends, we're all like, what the ho. Like, I shouldn't even be able to talk. That's, you know, like, I'm like, oh, that. You know how you go, oh, that was the rainbow. No, no, no. It's just coming at you like, are we being invaded by fucking Russia or am I, you know, like, just. That's what I'm saying. 10 minutes, maybe 15.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go even less. I want a five minute finale.
Pete Coriali
You want. You want people in the general area that have homes, they gotta put tape on the window pane so it don't shatter, right? Like that level.
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is what I. This is what I want. I want the fireworks show to start off with the finale and people to go, wait a minute. Is there a problem here? Like, like there's so much going off, it's like a malfunction. That's what I want the crowd to fix.
Pete Coriali
Holy shit. They dropped a match. There was a short in the circuit. Everything's going off at once, right like that. Yeah, I hear you. Oh, I don't know why these things gotta be 30 minutes. It's like, you're not a movie. You're not a movie. Just fire that shit off.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Unless there's different fireworks, you know, like, if you're gonna give me the PA PA PA pom PA PA PA PA boom. Yeah. I want ba boom. And I want like a thing like a. Like a. A mushroom cloud. And it used to rain.
Pete Coriali
Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Or put it over the crowd, put it over the crowd and let the sparks fall on my forehead.
Pete Coriali
But to your point, as it's coming down, there should never be a moment where there's nothing in the sky. So as it's coming as the last sparkle. Voom. The next one's up, man. Like, I should be able to read a book off of the fucking flashing coming off from. Like, I should be able to read a book in pure darkness from the fireworks for that five minutes. I agree, bro. Shorten them and more powerful.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's it.
Pete Coriali
We're both. That's the same page. I mean, I'm doing a walk away. That's so unpatriotic. I'm doing a walk away mid fireworks show.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But there was a thought in my head that was like, maybe I should get the car already.
Pete Coriali
Well, next year, you know what's going on next year. I don't know what your plans are. 250th birthday of this country. Saturday night, 4th of July, Donald Trump, president. That is America on steroids.
Sebastian Maniscalco
For one night, he said he's gonna have a UFC fight at the White House.
Pete Coriali
Wait on the lawn.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Where is it gonna be, do you know?
Pete Coriali
Probably in the rose Garden or out on the lawn.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. He's got 25, 000 people at the White House to see a UFC fight.
Pete Coriali
Holy, man. It's gonna be huge. I don't know where I'm gonna be for it, but I told my buddy I was planning, and I just said, listen, take all that into consideration. This shit has got to be big and patriotic. Happy fourth of July. God bless you all. Thank you very much, everybody.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We have Lana's dive, which is. I want to show you Lana's dive. The backflip. Here we go. This is Lana in France on the diving board.
Pete Coriali
Lana looking fantastic. Whoa. Oh, shit, bro. And you could barely walk out to the end of that thing. You looked, like, scared and nervous.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I was nervous as a kid going off the diving board. I was my biggest fear. And I had somebody in the water waiting to catch me. It was awful. I've always been scared of diving boards. Oh, my God.
Pete Coriali
That looked amazing. I'd go off that thing all day long. Man, that looked magical.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it was pretty. It was pretty magical. Anything else? I feel like there's something that slipped through the cracks on your side, that it's impossible, Gem, you know, I knew.
Pete Coriali
We'Re going to be doing a lot of vacation talks, so I didn't do a deep dive in my thoughts, but I wanted to bring up one last thing. I don't know if you're familiar with this whole babysitting thing, like, so Sadie might start babysitting, right? And a couple of. Because here's the deal. I come home the other day and she's in front of the computer and I hear a lady saying, and then if the baby is still coughing, you want to turn it on its side? And I'm like, what are you doing? And she was taking a babysitting course. It's like a four hour course. And Jackie had said that a couple of friends said, you know, she said, hey, if you ever need a babysitter, I'm just letting you know Sadie's at the age now that if you want some help, just because, you know, people around here dying for babysitters, people they know. And the lady was like, oh, my God, it's so great. The kids already know Sadie. That would be awesome. Did she happen to take the course? And Jackie's like, she actually is taking it as we speak. Past couple of days. She's doing it a little bit every day. So I said to Jackie, parents are asking that question. And she's like, yeah, it's like a big thing. Now they're asking if your kid, you know, checking temperature, you know, but anyway, like, if, if I didn't know that was a thing. Now, like, when you have your people watch a kid, do they. Do you ask them if they took a certified course?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, we have a babysitter, she's 17 years old, friend of Lana's daughter. No course, no nothing. Bro, growing up, we had a babysitter across the street, I think was on methamphetamine that came over and watched us, you know?
Pete Coriali
Right, I know. My babysitter used to put us to bed early so her boyfriend can come over and they can make out on my couch. You know what I'm saying?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is that in the course?
Pete Coriali
Yeah. How to, how to fool around with your boyfriend before the parents come home. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying too. I'm reading this thing going, sadie, if any of these things that this thing is teaching you happen, you. You're dialing the parents going, yeah, time to come home from Applebee's. Your kid just, it's got a hives, you know? Yes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You're just there to call the parents if something out of the ordinary happens. You're not there to troubleshoot what's going on.
Pete Coriali
Right, Right. You're not gonna come home at 12:30 and I'm gonna go, Kid, spike the fever 103. At around 9 when I put her in an ice bath, she's good to go. Now I'm only here so to make sure there's not an electrical fire while you're gone. That burns the fucking house down. Other than that, that's it. You know, I can't even guarantee if somebody broke in that I wouldn't run out the back and leave your kids. And, and you know that going in, you know, the 70 year old ain't gonna risk her life. Your kids, she's gonna call you so you can come home and risk yours.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, here the 17 year old called us and said our dog Luigi was throwing up, right? That was it, that was the end of the. We come home. What's wrong with the dog? You know, there's no like, oh, they'll put him in his pen. We'll be home in a couple lot. Now that's it.
Pete Coriali
What?
Sebastian Maniscalco
He's throwing up.
Pete Coriali
Wrap it up.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We're going back home. That's it.
Pete Coriali
I think you're about a year away from getting a call from your babysitter going, you have to come home because your son keeps hitting on me. And I'm into it.
Advertiser
That's the problem.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Speaking of this, I have to show you this just because I want to get your take on this. So I celebrated my 52nd birthday this week. Thank you for the message. You and Jackie, did you like my.

Sebastian Maniscalco
I took my kids out to dinner on my birthday. And before we went to dinner, I told my kids, please, we're going to a nice restaurant. If anybody is acting up, we're leaving, Right? That's, that's the. I go, it's my birthday and I don't want anybody spoiling my birthday. Zoom in. I want. Zoom out so I can get the whole outfit with the shoes. Now this is the outfit my son comes out with to a nice restaurant. I want you to take.
Pete Coriali
Oh my God, look at this guy. Holy shit. Your daughter is so freaking cute. I adore her. What? Bro, that is a John Travolta outfit right there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what that is. So those of you that are. Those of you that are listening to this, it's all white, red shoes and he's got a vest on, no shirt underneath, and two chains, right? And it's a sleeveless. It's sleeveless. Sleeveless vest, bro. He walked into the restaurant and listen, I know this is my Son, I'm biased, but he walked into the restaurant, the only thing he was missing was a cigarette and a scotch.
Pete Coriali
No kidding. Yeah. He does look a year away from hitting on the babysitter. He really does. By the way, probably the last line of the cast. I know we gotta wrap up, but such a funny line. He ended up talking later on on your birthday. And I go, so you're doing, you having a great day or what? And you go, ah, it's another day with a cake at the end of it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what it is at this age though. Really. You know, I got a problem with people that do. Oh, it's my birthday month. You ever get these people where it's like they celebrate my birthday week? Hey, I had a birthday couple of hours. That's what it was.
