Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. Welcome to the Pete and Sebastian Show. Pete Corelli, Sebastian Mascalco. If you have never ever listened to us before, it's a show that chronicles our life personally, professionally. Yeah, what's been going on at your house is truly. I mean, I don't even know where to start, bro. You are. Let me just announce it to the. To the group. If you haven't heard, Pete Corioli has sold his home in Fredonia and his moving. Do you want to tell people where you're moving?
Pete Corelli
This is the official announcement. I've dabbled. Like you see a video of me here and there. I'm moving to Pittsford, New York city of Rochester. Very excited.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. Now the move came a little bit of a surprise to me because we didn't talk about this off air. You never mentioned to me on the Tour. I just thought Fredonia was going to be a place that you were going to be until Sadie went to school. Next thing you know, I get a text from you with the house that you just bought in Rochester and there's a move in place. So, I mean, where did this come from, bro?
Pete Corelli
Yeah, well, I mean, this. When I told you there was. It was interesting where you were at, which I'm not gonna say, but on tour, I was complaining here and there about things back home, as you know, and. And like, it was like, it all kind of hit a boiling point. It's so much, bro. I don't know how much I can share on the cast and how much, like, going to miss this town. Loved raising my daughter here up until this point. Teachers are great, People are great. I was getting. Bro. See, again, this is supposed to be a funny show. I was getting complacent. I felt. I felt like I was at a point in my life. I'm living in a small town, I'm writing my jokes in the garage. You go on the road when I want. I cannot if I don't. Having fun doing the cast. And I'm like, even to the whole family, like, I feel like we all need to be challenged a little bit more. One more go round. Let's get at it. Let's get at it. You know what I mean? So let's. Let's go somewhere else and start fresh. And, you know, I'm not ready to go out to graze yet, baby. That's why when I texted you, I'm like, I feel alive. My fucking house is a mess. I got boxes everywhere. I got two pod storages things. Like an asshole, I decided to pack my shit myself. So it's complete chaos right now. But I'm alive, bro. Does that make any sense?
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, so you're alive. There's complete chaos. Can you tell us?
Pete Corelli
All right, that didn't hit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know what you're thinking here, listening to this, and obviously I'm supportive of you moving out of Fredonia. I. I've been. I haven't been a fan. Obviously, it's for selfish reason, because when you left Los Angeles, I felt like it was a miss because you moved, but then you moved to Fredonia. You doing out there, you might as well buy a gravesite. So.
Pete Corelli
Oh, wow, man. It's like you're dating a girl that everyone says is cool, and then you dump her and they go, well, let me tell you about that bitch.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, come on. I've hinted you know, like, anytime you say, I live in Fredonia. Right. You have to. And I know what you were doing. You said Fredonia. Nah, it's a little quaint town. You had to almost justify where you were living. You know what. What do you say? New York City, you don't go. Yeah, because of energy to pizza. It just. It stands alone. But with Fredonia, there came a. Yeah, there came a side note to promote.
Pete Corelli
Right, right. Well, listen, where I'm moving, I still feel like is going to be followed by a big fat. Why, that's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what I wanted it like. Like, you go, yeah, we need a challenge. We got to get out of Fredonia, Rochester. I mean, it's like. Is it a thing?
Pete Corelli
I meant a challenge, like, you know, a new environment. I didn't mean, like the city itself is going to challenge me, you know, but. I know, but, like, where. Where could you. Where would you say. Let me ask you that. Where would you say where? If I said here, you'd go, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Louisiana. New York, Austin.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I know you were dabbling with Austin, and so was I. I felt like if you said to me, oh, Austin, I go, okay, that makes. Pete's an outdoorsman. Got a lot of hiking there. There's a lake. He loves the lake. He'll be up on the lake. Right. And then it's got like a comedy scene there. It's centrally located because if you do tour a lot, you could bounce around from city to city and not have it be such a long flight. So that, to me, I thought, okay, that. That makes sense. But when I heard Rochester, and I'm. Listen, I'm not on your move, but I think it. I think it warrants a discussion. And listen, I know you say, oh, this is a comedy podcast. Comedy comes out of the serious topics that we talk about.
Pete Corelli
So. No, I don't. I know, I know. It's not to be fun.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. It's just. It's just going to happen on its own. But give us a. Kind of paint us a picture, you know, you got the whole globe. You got the globe, you got the map. How do we point our finger at Rochester?
Pete Corelli
Well, I want to. I want. I want to do the Austin thing for a second. And I think nothing sums up my reason not to do Austin more than. I don't know if you saw John again, head of security when you're on the road for the listeners out there, and a wonderful man, dear friend of yours, and a good friend of mine now, too, but there Was a video of him carrying his dog. Did you see that on Instagram? Ho ho ho at noon telling his boy we took him out too late in the day. Noon is too late. It's so fucking hot. You gotta carry your pet. When you take it for a walk, you take it for a carry. Okay? So I'm an outdoorsman, but I don't want to do my outdoor activity at 4:30 in the morning before the sun comes up, okay? And I don't, I don't get it. I mean, I get it like LA is. I can't call it a regret, but boy, oh boy, what could that cast have become? What could that cast have become? I will say that. I will say that. But outside of that, I mean, what, what Matt? The, the comedy scene so Joe Rogan can watch me do 10 minutes and tell me if I'm funny or not? Is that the fucking comedy scene? I don't know any of those kids, okay? I don't know any of those little boys and girls out there doing the new type of stand up. It, it. That's, it's doesn't mean anything to me. I. There's a comedy club or a moving that in and of itself makes it a comedy scene because that's where I'll be working out.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay?
Pete Corelli
So good to see you working out the other day, by the way. I missed that. Saw you with Bobby Lee and the.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it was nice to go. Nice, nice to go there and see some of the guys that came up with. But I feel like you deviated from my question.
Pete Corelli
I think I answered it by saying why not Austin?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, you didn't give me the reason why. Rochester, what's do you know?
Pete Corelli
The biggest reason is I'm an hour and 50 minutes from here, My in laws are still here and it's really hard to leave them, you know what I mean? And I had to make a compromise. Of course they can't just travel across the country, especially as they get older and older. And then second of all, Jackie has friends there, Sadie has a friend there. But that's just happenstance. The school I loved, I loved when I found out about the school system, really got into that stuff. And it matters to me and it's got a lot of opportunity and then, you know, then you just start playing it out. The Comedy Club is 10 minutes from my house. And Mark, the owner of comedy at the Carlson's a great guy. I already talked to him. He's like, dude, we're gonna name the small room the Pete room. I mean we're joking. But the point is it'll be nice to work out on a daily basis again. So. So that kind of stuff, I'm not ready to just, you know, go. I want to. I want to. I feel like I'm better stand up comic than ever. I feel good, I feel young. And I just like, you know, there's more opportunity, bro. Somebody texted me, yo, you're right, there's four Walmarts and 15 Tim Hortons. And I'm like, hey, well look, Google Pittsford, all right, Those are all on the outskirts. But I'm not moving there for more Walmarts, so. So, yeah, so that's even the hotel. When you, if you come visit me and somebody wants to stay with me, there's a, there's a nice, just couple nice inns right there. I don't gotta go. You might want to bring your own sleeping bag. What? All right, guys, as Sebastian was kind enough to say, and I've been plugging on Instagram, the Pete Corioli, as I was saying, tour is kicking off October 17th in Portland and it is going, it's going everywhere, man, everywhere. From New York to Jersey to Portland, Maine to Hawaii to, you know, Idaho, Ohio. Gonna get outside of Chicago. So if you go to petecorelli.com all the dates are there and more dates are being added constantly. This thing's gonna go for a while. I really look forward to getting out there and. And everyone's already gotten tickets. Thanks. I hope you can get out. See you there. Petecorelli.com As I was saying, Paul.
Sebastian Maniscalco

Pete Corelli
I love my house though. Beautiful house. Yes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm sorry to leave it. I think, listen, I don't know if I could say this on air. This might be an edit. I think you could have got more for the house simply on the fact that there's a shrine that you're sitting in right now that people could. I mean.
Pete Corelli
The room I'm in, I put up all this padded soundproof years ago for the cast. And I said to the realtor when she was coming, she's like, I go, should I take that down? I'm like, what do you think? She goes, it is what it is that, you know, the buyer can decide. And then, and then. And I sent it to you. The buyer had a nice note to say they apparently they really like the house, which means a lot to me and fan of the cast. The man is a fan of the cast. So he's literally gonna be like hanging out in the room where this thing really took off and got its legs. Unbelievable.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's an extra 75 grand for the purchase price, right?
Pete Corelli
Yeah, man. Sold in a day. Three people looked at it, three offers. Boom, boom, boom. One day, like, boom.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Did we have a bidding war?
Pete Corelli
It was. Well, I don't know what I can say here, but I'm just saying there was an appreciation for the home that I, that I appreciated and I'm glad to see that it's seemingly going in the hands of someone that's going to love it as much as I did. Makes me very happy things a lot. And then it's the last thing I'll say about it. Sadie, two days ago, she goes, mom and Dad, I wrote my first song. I'd like to play it for you guys finally, right? I'm like, holy shit. She's finally put the piano. Even has an intro and stuff. And it's called this Old House, dude. She starts playing this thing, and it's like this old house. I play in the driveway with my dad. When it would get. Then we'd lay on the driveway in the sun. All these memories, but, like, making rhyme. And then the chorus. This house is filled with a lot of this, a lot of that, a lot of I love yous. And then at the very end, she goes, but this. And it rhymes. She goes, but this whole house. And of course she goes, will always be mine. And now Jackie's part Russian, so she's pretty hardened. I'm fucking. I'm already a mess crying. I look over, the song ends. Jackie cries. I haven't seen her cried since my parents passed. And I'm like, holy shit. She hugs Sadie and we're all crying, and Sadie's looking at us like, I think she finally understood the power of live entertainment. I mean, you saw Mr. Sebastian at the Garden. This is what it's about.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, did you. After the song, did you call the buyer and go, I can't sell it?
Pete Corelli
I said to Jack, get the shits out of the pot and put it back in the house. I. That's what I did say.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I go get it all. Put it back, put it back.
Pete Corelli
So, yeah, it was a good moment.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I want to talk about the process of moving. And I saw the videos, and it's hard for me to ask this question as a neutral without putting any of my feelings behind it. But just for the cast listeners, can you explain moving yourself at this age?
Pete Corelli
Well, believe it or not, your video back. Go ahead. I sent you a go ahead. Go ahead. What are you saying? It's crazy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Hey, listen, it's a. It's a. It's a. Like it. You know what? You reach a point in your life where you're. You're like. You don't ask your wife to take you to the airport. You just get a car, right?
Pete Corelli
Yeah, you just get.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Same thing with moving.
Pete Corelli
It's a great line. That's a great line. She just rolls over one day to a note instead of Your face with the keys going, baby, you gotta take me now, right? You can sleep in the car on the way down. Oh, that's it. You just. So you say. I should have just. Yeah, I saw.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Listen, the video you posted yesterday, I almost. I almost took a knee and started crying for your poor wife on the floor with Saran Wrap, wrapping a piece of furniture. It just looked like an undertaking. At this age, do you really wanna be rapping?
Pete Corelli
It's such a great question. Believe it or not, something you said really made a difference with her. And I want to tell the listeners. I had sent Sebastian a video the other day, just a private video showing him my situation. Going, holy shit. And then he sent me a video back. And in your video, I was showing him how I was throwing garbage out. We have a big green bin, and we're throw stuff into the bin that I'm hauling off to the. To the dump. And when I get to the dump, like everyone else that hauls trash, these guys press a button and then machine goes and it slides out. I don't have that. And I don't want to hold everybody up. So I put on gloves. I'm just tossing books and lamps and into the pit behind me, and people are waiting, going, jesus Christ, look at this guy. DYI and everything. So. But this is the deal. You said in the video, you go, oh, man, I feel like everybody should throw all this shit out every five years. Like a cleansing. And Jackie was like. She's been repeating that. She's like, oh, a friend of Pete's said that, you know, it's like a cleansing. And I really feel that's what it is. And the reason I did this, first of all, I have movers coming tomorrow. I have four guys, and for four hours they're gonna move all these boxes and they're gonna put them all in these pods, everything. And then when I get to where I'm going, when they drop the pods off next week, those guys are going to come the next day and unload all that shit piano and put it away. I am boxing it and packing it, which was.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corelli
Fucking madness.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I thought you were moving like, I thought you were telling Jackie. All right, just. Just put it on an angle. We'll get it through the. So. So you're just. You're boxing plates and forks and clothing and all that stuff, and somebody else is going to take it. Explain to the listeners if they don't know, because I don't really know. I've seen these things. The pod opposed to a moving Truck. What is the difference?
Pete Corelli
Okay. The moving truck guy, I called them and they wanted me. They took my phone. So annoying. And we FaceTimed. Guy's name was Kevin. And then we went room to room, and he's like, just show me. Okay, you got one chair in there. One thing in there. Okay. Okay. And then after I go every room he go, he sends me an email two hours later with a bill to pack it. All right. I can't even tell you what it was. Well, I won't. But anyway, so. Which was, whatever, fine. But then I said to Jackie, I go, listen, the house we're moving to is much smaller. Okay? More money, but smaller. And then after that, it's going to be just me and you. When Sadie goes to college and we're going to. We want to go even smaller, but, like, cool. Like, So I go, so we're going. Scaling down. I go, let's. Let's throw this shit out. I go, what are we going to do? We're going to hire guys to pack. It's not like I'm going to go right at a coffee shop and you're going to go fucking run. You're going to be standing there going, put that over there. Okay. Box that. I don't know yet about that. It's going to be. Did. You may as well just do it yourself. That's. That's what I was thinking. But we went on vacation. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Let me. Let me throw something out. Yeah. And I don't know the process of moving in regards to this, but do you throw out before you pack, or do you pack everything? Get it there. And then you start weeding shit out that you don't think you need. What's your take?
Pete Corelli
I. You know what I said to Jackie? Should we just do it when we get there? She's like, why? We don't even know the setup there. Why haul it all the way there? So we put a. Like I said, that green army bin out on the. On the driveway. Oh, bro, it feels. I can't say it's enough to listen. It feels so good. You start getting crazy tossing. At one point, I would have been like, take my daughter. Take her, too. You know, like, I got rid of all my notebooks. Every joke I ever wrote. I had a big box of them.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No.
Pete Corelli
Here you go, bro. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about your fucking joke books. Nobody cares about your first set, okay? I know you saved it for the documentary they're gonna make when you die, but other than that, nobody gives a fuck.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, to Me hearing that, I don't think I would say that was the. That's actually the first thing you said to me that you threw out. Not like an old blender. You threw out your entire catalog of everything you wrote down. Don't you think it's good to have that? Maybe go back and look and go, oh, you know what? Maybe I could develop this a little bit more.
Pete Corelli
But, like, I have it. Like, I had. Like, I haven't in 10 years. Like, I haven't. I don't go back. I go forward. I go forward. You go forward, too, by the way. I know that for a fact from watching you and see how you perform and evolve. And I'm telling you about those. To say how heavy it got. Yeah. Mops and brooms and shirts got thrown out, but it got my wardrobe. Jackie, she comes out at one point and she goes, hey, do you have any clothes left? That's what she yelled to them in the garage. I go, I got. And I go, baby, if I don't wear it, it's gone. It's gone. So, like, I got, like, nothing. I could pack my entire wardrobe in a fucking duffel bag. Jesus Christ. Right? Tom Rhodes has nothing on me. He's a comic, folks. Famously lives off the road. Hilarious guy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, he is funny. I'm taking, by the way you're explaining everything. You are more throw it out. And Jackie's more sentimental. Oh, we should keep this. Or is she the same as you?
Pete Corelli
Well, no, she was starting to. And I talked. I got her on board. Now she started doing piles like, karen might want this. Karen, is Karen standing behind you? Then I don't give. Like, it's gone. You know, at one point, she had these furry flip flops that she wore, like, twice. So and so want these? I mean, Sadie, like, he's like, ma, nobody wants your furry flip flop. You're right. You're right. What am I doing? What am I doing? Throw it, throw it, throw it. So it's been getting. It's been nice. It's been nice to peel down. I mean, I saw a lady on one of them Today morning shows, and she said, rule of thumb, if you haven't used it or worn it in five years, toss it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, no, I. You know, you inspired me over here to actually go through because we're redoing our kitchen, and we got a bunch of stuff in the. We took everything from the kitchen, moved it into the garage while we're redoing it, and I want to go through everything in there and just like, start throwing stuff out that, you know, like. And I don't know if you. You saw this when you were unpacking your kitchen or. Or, like, there's stuff that. Oh, I. There's a food processor that seems to be something that's a good idea when you buy it. Next thing you know, it ends up in a cabinet somewhere. And, yeah, you know, you're like, what the fuck? When's the last time we made a panini in the panini grill?
Pete Corelli
I know, but don't you feel like you throw that out and the next day your daughter's gonna walk in and go, can I have a panini? I have one at Cindy's house.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I love.
Pete Corelli
Oh, shit. I know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's why I think we hang on to these things, because you think the next day someone's gonna get up and go, can you vacuum seal my steak? You know, like, I got a vacuum sealer that I thought was. Oh, I'm gonna, you know, put like. I'm gonna buy meat and then seal it, put it in the freezer. It's gonna be that fucking thing. I can't even find it. I don't even know where it is. Right. Do you know who uses. Do you know who you. Do you know who uses a vacuum sealer?
Pete Corelli
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. John Petrelli, I would imagine. I wouldn't even have to guess twice.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, my God. That's all this guy's doing, is just meat coming out of a sealer.
Pete Corelli
Well, I'll tell you, right, if he walks his dog after two, he's gonna be vacuum sealing the dog too. Oh, fucking heat out there. He tries to walk like it's not hot. He's doing a walk like it's not 200.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I want to talk about this. Gonna get your take on this? Yeah, yeah. He got the same dog I got.
Pete Corelli
He got the same. He got the same dog you got.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Mm.
Pete Corelli
You know, I'm telling you, I thought that dog looked familiar when I saw it. This should take.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And a friend getting a dog, right? And then you get the same dog that I get.
Pete Corelli
Nah, that's. And I. And that's a very close friend, too. It's like. It's too. Yeah. I mean, I would say, nah. Like, my buddy Larry had a pug. If Jackie said, want to get a pug? I'd be like, larry's got a pug. We're pug. He's gonna think we got a pug because he's got a pug.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I feel like it's like a name like you're going to name your kid and go, I had an ex girlfriend that was named Sarah. I'm not going to name my kid Sarah. I feel like the same thing with a dog, right? You want to get a dog so and so's got the same dog down the street. I don't want the same dog.
Pete Corelli
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm sorry. Listen, when you get a dog, do you own the breed amongst your friends?
Pete Corelli
I think outside of a German shepherd, that's open game for anyone because it's such a guard dog. But yeah, I mean, with these little boutique breeds going on now, come on. It's like if I wanted to get the shrimp scampi and you're right next to me and you just ordered the shrimp scampi. In my head, I'm like, now I gotta get a steak, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what I feel.
Pete Corelli
I'm not gonna go. I'll have what he's having. What is this? When Harry Met Sally? Get the out of here. You can't. It had to be you. The Pete and Sebastian Show.

Pete Corelli
Proximity. Proximity. It's like a song. If you go. To use a word, you go. We just said that last lyric. But if you Go. We didn't say that word since the first verse. All right, we can say that word again. So the guy three over. Yeah. He orders this. Yeah, but, like, right next to. Yeah. So anyway, what I like to know is, was that even a discussion when the breed came up? Like, should we not. Because they have one.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, bro, I'm telling you, to live in my head is torture. It's just a torturous life to, like, constantly be going, you got the same thing you did that constantly doesn't shut down. It's terrible.
Pete Corelli
Wow. I know. But it's so enjoyable, and it really serves you well, you know? And, I mean, I do it much to a lesser extent, but when I think of. And I love to. Can't wait for the cast to talk to you about. Because two days ago, my neighbor is finally. She's a wonderful lady, but she's having a fence redone, like, a little part of it. And I go in my backyard where it's connected and she's not doing it. A guy. She hired a guy. Hey, how you doing? He says hi to me. He says, what's your name? I go, I'm Pete. And he goes, nice to meet you, Pete. I'm Joe. I'm Joe Dan. Right? So I go, joe Dan, nice to meet you. And then I go, is that like. Was that two names or is that like. Is it one name? And he goes, yeah, no, my first name is Joe. My middle name is Dan, but I go by Joe Dan. I was like, oh, nice to meet. Now I'm walking away in my head going, you don't. You don't get to go by both, okay? Like, I'm. Only. If you were my friend, I'm calling you Joe from now on. If you got a problem that I'm not adding to Dan, that's your problem. I don't even. What's your middle name, bro?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Joseph.
Pete Corelli
Sebastian Joseph. If you said you go by all that, I'd be like, hey, you're lucky. I don't even even hit you with a seb. Now you want me to hit a Joseph. So what you take. Does a person have a right to add the middle name? Expect you to say that. Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, Joe Dan, I think, is a quick Joe Dan. That's like a name in itself. Jodan. It's just a quick. It's quick. It's not like Sebastian Joseph. That's long. But I never understood people incorporating their middle name into anything. A middle name to me is just like, you could go a lifetime and somebody die. And then you get the death card at the wake and you go, I didn't know his fucking name was Frank.
Pete Corelli
It's the fucking coleslaw. When you get a diner. When you go to a diner, gives a shit about that. It's bullshit. Hey, I don't even know what it's for. We're all John. My dad was John. My brother's John. I'm John. My parents are such a John for the boys. That's the middle name.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I didn't know that, Pete. John, I known you for 15 years. I would have known that when you died. Is that the middle name? I would have went to Jackie. His middle name was John.
Pete Corelli
You're assuming I'm gonna die first. I don't know how I feel about that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Heart attack.
Pete Corelli
Oh, If I keep moving myself.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God. Okay, so. So yeah.
Pete Corelli
And. And.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And what bothers me even more, and I don't think people have the right to do. Don't be starting it. Don't take your. Your middle name and make it your first name. I know people that do this, right? They just go by the middle name. And I never understood that. Some parents call their kids by their middle name. I'm not into that either. Not into that.
Pete Corelli
We just like it more. Well, you should have made it the first fucking name then, if you liked it more.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, why don't you make it the first name?
Pete Corelli
Right, right. You know what? I equate that, too. In baseball, when you bring in a pinch hitter, aren't we already putting in the best fucking guy? We? Why are we gonna put in a guy that couldn't beat out the guy that. Let's just keep going with the guy. Bring in the sucky guy who couldn't start.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, can we Google this? Why do we have middle names?
Pete Corelli
What's the purpose? Is it something with the Catholic maybe? I think it's like. I always thought it had to do with being Catholic.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, is it a Catholic thing?
Pete Corelli
But my buddy's Jewish and he's got a middle name, so I guess it's not. Has Lana got a middle name?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, Lane. Middle name, Lana Lane.
Pete Corelli
Wow, that's like out of a superhero comic book, right? Then Lane walked in.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Or a porn star. Middle names often provide clues about family history, especially when they come from a mother's maiden name or. Or another relative. So these names could point out earlier generations. So basically, you got somebody else in the family. It's a bunch of bullshit. Okay, so you're moving. You got the pods in the driveway.
Pete Corelli
Feels good, dude.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. This is gonna be big. So when are you actually out of the house?
Pete Corelli
We closed on the house we're buying. The people just moved out. So we got some stuff enough being done to it before we move in. So we're gonna move in in about a week and a half. And then this house, I don't know when we're closing on it, but it's. It's, you know, that's all we signed.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And stuff like that.
Pete Corelli
So that's good to go. The appraiser came today right before the cast, you know, has to walk through the house. I'm literally like, couldn't be any nicer, you know, when I'm like, huh, you owed you, like, a cup of coffee. You know, like, I'm just like, appraise this shit properly. All right. You know what I'm saying? She's a nice lady, though.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't get the appraisal process after you agree on a purchase price of the home. This is something that I don't get. So appraisal, generally speaking, is if you're going to get a loan, the bank wants to know how much the house is worth or how much they're going to give you for the loan based on the price of the home. So let's say your house went for $10 million. Let's say you put it up for $10 million and someone came in said, I want the house and we're going to get a loan for $9.5 million to buy it.
Pete Corelli
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The bank would send out the appraiser and go, we're never going to get our money back on this house if you default. That's why you have the appraiser. Right.
Pete Corelli
Beautiful put for you listeners and viewers out there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Perfect. We should slide into what category after that description? That's. That could be biz. That could be finance.
Pete Corelli
Business and finance. Business and finance. I put it on there clear as day. You explained it perfectly. Correct.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So do they have a loan or are they paying cash? Do we know?
Pete Corelli
They are very generously have some bread up front. So they're just like sprinkling it at the end with a tiny. Not much.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay.
Pete Corelli
I don't know how personal I can get, but it's not like a deal breaker in any capacity. It was very morbid, a formality.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So my question with an appraiser is, why don't we send out the appraiser? Why doesn't the appraiser come with the buyer and the appraiser walks through the house and goes, yeah, no, it's worth about, I don't know, 750 grand. And then that's what the buyer pays based on the appraisal value of the home.
Pete Corelli
I'll do you one better, because I think the appraisal is whatever somebody's willing to pay you for the fucking house. That's what it's worth. It's what anything is worth. Anything is worth what someone's willing to pay for it, and it's that simple. I did hear a guy. Turns out they're a married couple doing the appraisal. Very nice people. And he's doing the measurements. They go. We're starting with the outside. At one point, he's doing a measurement in the garden. I don't know. You like me, right? I'm like. I'm listening because I want to hear if he's going to be like, you know, oh, is that. You know. Which is nothing wrong with the house. But I'm like. And as he's wheeling in his thing, I hear him go to her beautiful house. And I'm like, oh, God, we're good. We're good.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't like this. I don't like it. I don't like a married couple appraising a home.
Pete Corelli
What's the problem with that?
Sebastian Maniscalco
The marriage is the problem.
Pete Corelli
Like, she's been doing it 15 years. He ended up. That's the beauty of it, too. Halfway through, they finished the outside. She sends him with their dog to go get some coffees while she comes and does the inside with photos. She's like, I've been doing this 15 years, 10 without him. We fell in love, got married. So now he does all the measurements for me. It just makes my life so much easier. I'm like, they got a nice setup. Go to work together. Happy, happy. Send them off to get coffee.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know. I feel like on the way home, it's an argument like. Like, you know, married couples, they. They argue that they. They. You know, that's. It's. The sky's blue. No, it's. It's green or whatever, right? They get in the car, and then he's gonna go, what do you think? I think it's worth? She goes, I don't think I'm. 800 grand. 800 grand looking for 600 grand. And that's an argument right now.
Pete Corelli
And then she goes, you're saying it's 600 grand because I don't want to fool around this morning, Right? No, he's got a problem. Yeah. Honestly, I think it's 550. I just said 600. Yeah. Oh, God. Now my house is dropping in value because their marriage is on the rocks.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what I'm saying.
Pete Corelli
Oh, they see. Listen, I think they're still happy. It's only five years in. I said, you don't want these people appraising your home at the seven year itch kicks in. Holy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
When they come, you go, how long you been married? Eight years. Get the out of here.
Pete Corelli
Oh, because to your point, too, what happens is then someone who put. Who was willing to buy your house, it gets appraised for less. So then they go to you. Well, I'm not paying that. The bank said it's worth this. You know, I don't give a shit what the bank says. All right? Screw the bank. That the bank says, if the bank mattered. That's your point. Then bring the bank in from the beginning.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, shit. Let me. Let me just tell you where I went over the weekend. I went to Woodstock. I had a show at Woodstock. Okay.
Pete Corelli
I've never been to Woods Beach. So cool. Jones beach, too.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Jones beach was cool. But the Woodstock thing, I've never been there. And there's a guy that is a volunteer that was at Woodstock, and he takes people on a tour of the grounds. Okay, now let me just start by saying if Woodstock was today, I would never be at anything like that. That's just people. 450,000 people were in a field, and he told me there was not enough porta potties to accommodate the crowd. So what they did was they dug a hole, like a long trench, and people were pissing and shitting in the trench, and then they would fill it back up with dirt and then dig another one. If I'm at the concert and I go, excuse me, where's the restroom? And they point to a ditch. I. I go home, it's over.
Pete Corelli
Well, knowing you, they point to a porter potty and you go home, even one with your name on it and a velvet rope around it, you still go home. So I.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And maybe this is just anybody tells me, and we talked about this in the previous guest. A tour of anything unless I want to go on the tour. Did I tell you that I went to Jay Leno's garage? Did I tell you this?
Pete Corelli
No. Holy shit, man. Cool.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No. I got up one day and I said, jay's got this amazing collection of cars, and. And I've never seen it, and it'd be a shame if Jay had passed on, and I never got to see that collection. So I called him. I Said, jay, if you're at the garage, I'd like to come down and check out your collection. I go, don't make a special trip if you're just hanging out there. I'd love to come down. No, no, no, come down. So I come down, bro. My mouth was on the floor. I. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. Right, right. I walk in and he goes, this is what you. You should be driving. Puts me in a 20, 25, I think it's called Spectre. It's Rolls Royce. He puts me in there and, oh, my God, this is beautiful. So luxurious. We're walking around. I go, jay, is that. Is that a tank? He's got like an SUV sized, like, tank, but it doesn't have the treads on it. It has big wheels on it. He goes, yeah, that's. He goes, I got two tanks outside. What? Two tanks. He's got two tanks.
Pete Corelli
I mean, tanks.
Sebastian Maniscalco
In the parking lot of where he's got all this shit. It's been burnt by Burbank Airport. So, like, hangars. And outside he's got the two tanks. He's got two tanks. He's got the first fire engine for the city of Los Angeles.
Pete Corelli
Oh, my God, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
He's got a story about every car. So you ask Jay, what is this? That's a 1963 Chevrolet. I found that in Ohio. Guy had it in his garage. He was drunk and he's an alcoholic. He never drove the car. And his family had put all these boxes on top of it, and they just said, jay, we know there's a car underneath there if you want to come out and check it out. This is how he finds these kind of relics, and he brings them to the garage and he fixes them up. He's got a fully operational garage where he's got two paint to paint the cars. He's got the big. So he could paint a car at this thing. Two of them. He's got. Holy shit, that's a hobby. And I'm sitting there walking around going, what's my hobby?
Pete Corelli
What is it? What is it, man? That's incredible.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Do you need a hobby to become a complete man? Now, we all know you have a hobby.
Pete Corelli
I can't be my hobby, though, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
But that's not a hobby.
Pete Corelli
Not unless I. Not unless I grow it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, no, that's not even a hobby. If you grow it.
Pete Corelli
If you make your own wine, same thing. No, every day. Every day. Clipping, spritzing, clipping. What do you think of hobbies?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, the hobbies got to be cool. So, like, so other people, when they come over, you show them. And this is the same way I feel about collections. I was doing a bit about collecting stuff. Like, so if some grown man is collecting Star War figurines, it's weird. They got a room, the whole room's got Star wars all over it. Millennium folk and all that. But if you came over and you collect Italian shotgun seas, where do I sign up? Right, right.
Pete Corelli
Italian shotguns.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. I know a guy that collects Italian shotguns. Right. Wow, that's a cool collection. I want to see that. What's your take on this? You go over to. You come to my house, right? Let's say you don't even. Never been to my house. I go, I want to go in my basement and check out my train set. And you walk in and you see a fully operational train set going into a mountain, villages, little people. Weird. Or, wow, what's your take on a train set?
Pete Corelli
Slightly weird, but way cool. Way more interesting to me than the Italian shotgun collection. I could enjoy checking out the train, I really could. But, you know, it's like the problem with a hobby is if I don't like it more than my job, fuck it. You know, I'm saying, like, I'm not gonna do a train set if I'd rather be on stage. Fuck that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So.
Pete Corelli
So unless I can mind just collecting shotguns because I'm 70 or like, am I into shot Italian shotguns? You know what I'm saying? So it's like, what is it? Is it like. It's gotta be something you like a lot.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So. So I asked Jay. He goes, I like this. I like working with my hands because he does. He works on cars, right? Works on the engine. He built a car. He goes, there's an appreciation you have when you're on stage making jokes because you know what it is to work with your hands. So the way he looks at it is like, it's hard work working with your hands. But he really enjoys it. So it gives him more of an appreciation for stand up. Because stand up to him is just. Just comes easy. That being said, I came home and I was like, what am I doing now? I like to cook. Is cooking a hobby?
Pete Corelli
Yes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Is it?
Pete Corelli
Absolutely it is. Absolutely it is, man. I think so.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I feel like you're cooking because there's. You're eating. You have to eat. So it's like he's working on cars, but he don't need the cars to go around. He's got A car that he uses to go around.
Pete Corelli
See, the beauty of being a cook for a hobby is it took you years. You've known Jay a long time. It took you years to finally go, you know, I should go check out his cars. People need to eat every day. So it's about cooking for friends and family. You love that. You love to entertain. You know, you don't like people to overstay, and you like it to be your certain way. But I think through the years, you would, like, enjoy. Take a bite of that. Take a bite of that. What do you think of that? Seems like you like it a lot.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Can you type in? Is cooking a hobby? It was very inspirational to see this man's collection. He was nothing but a sweetheart about it. Yes, cooking can definitely be a hobby. Okay, so I stand corrected. It was.
Pete Corelli
So cool, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It was unbelievable. I could not believe the amount of vehicles. He's got motorcycles in there. He's got 160 motorcycles.
Pete Corelli
Did you bring your boy?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No. I felt like. Well, he was at camp, and I felt like he's gotta be a little bit older to appreciate that. It's just a bunch of cars to him. He doesn't understand for. We could go to a car lot.
Pete Corelli
And it'd be the same thing, you know, like, right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We go to Chevrolet and look at all these cars. He doesn't understand yet, the appreciation. I think in another two years, I'll take them. But, yeah, I walked away going, I need a hobby.
Pete Corelli
Yeah. Well, I tell you, man, I think the cooking thing might be it. I really do. I do. The J thing is really cool. I think my hobby is when I have to have a home, a little home, because I like to tinker. I like to make my house look good. That's a hobby, right? Whatever it is, I don't know the cast. Good hang, bro. Good hang.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Pete is moving, and I'm getting a hobby. If you learn anything from this podcast today, challenge yourself. If you're unhappy where you're living, get a couple pods and get the hell out of there. And if you're bored and you need something to do to take your mind off your family, your career, and everything going around, get yourself a hobby. We'll see you next week. Oh, let's laugh.
Pete Corelli
Bring it down. The show has ended. So what's your take? Does a person have a right to add the middle name and expect you to say that? What? Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Martha listens to her favorite band all the time in the car gym, even sleeping. So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them. Sort of. You were made to scream from the front row. We were made to quietly save you.

The episode is personal, candid, and consistently funny, with Pete’s self-effacing honesty and Sebastian’s sharp observational humor on full display. While primarily a “comedy podcast,” the heart and mutual respect underpinning their friendship runs throughout, lending poignancy to moments of change and nostalgia.
Pete Correale is embarking on a big change, moving his family to Pittsford for new adventures—while Sebastian prompts debate on everything from the right way to move, what objects are worth keeping, and whether friends can share the same dog breed. The duo keeps it light but real, sharing relatable anxieties and philosophies about habit, reinvention, and letting go. By the end, the show’s message is clear: challenge yourself, declutter your life, remember the value of a heartfelt song, and find (or embrace) a hobby—just don’t get the same dog as your buddy.
