The Pete and Sebastian Show - EP 673: "WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!"

Release Date: September 23, 2025
Hosts: Pete Correale & Sebastian Maniscalco
Overview:
This episode dives into the absurdity and social dynamics of public ovations (especially at film festivals), etiquette around leaving events early (from kids’ recitals to Super Bowls), the psychology of the lottery, and a satirical look at social media culture. The hosts swap stories, riff on one another, and explore "What are the odds?!" not only in gambling but in everyday human behavior.

• Social Media Satire: Exploration of performative sharing and bragging online.
• Parenting & Social Pressures: Navigating competitive parenting scenes, especially in schools.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Standing Ovations Gone Wild

Timestamps: 02:47 – 11:53

• Sebastian’s Rant on Film Festival Ovations (Venice, Cannes):

  • Outrage at reports of 17–22 minute standing ovations for film premieres, particularly at international festivals.
  • “Standing ovation...I've received a standing ovation before. It's uncomfortable. I want to get off stage...some people milk it.” (Sebastian, 04:02)

• Social Pressure and The ‘Popcorn’ Analogy:

  • Pete discusses the awkwardness of a “half” standing ovation and describes late standers as the last popcorn kernels:
    • “If the closer doesn’t make you pop out of your ass, like, pop up, then you don’t. Don’t do it right away. Don’t do it at all.” (Pete, 05:49)

• Appropriate Duration?

  • Pete says 1 minute, Sebastian advocates 30 seconds max:
    • “If you count to 30, it’s a long time for people to be clapping.” (Sebastian, 07:07)

• Guinness Record Trivia:

  • Sebastian reads out that the longest ever film ovation was 22 minutes and a world record for applause is over 3 hours (in Uganda).

• Ovations are Peer Pressure:

  • Both discuss the silent social contract that has everyone clapping, wonder aloud who decides to stop, and posit “clap influencers” like celebrities or producers might keep them going (09:14).

• Bocelli Concert Etiquette:

  • Sebastian walks out during an ovation at an Andrea Bocelli concert to beat the crowd:
    • “I walked out of the standing ‘O’ to find the shuttle because I knew it was gonna be a hell getting out. I don’t stick around at the end of these things.” (Sebastian, 11:14)

---

2. The Art of the Early Exit

Timestamps: 13:45 – 22:19

• Sebastian Never Stays to the End:

  • Equates intermissions to end of an event.
  • “I look at intermission and halftime as the end of the event.” (Sebastian, 14:55)

• Pete Teases Sebastian’s Early Exits:

  • Imagines him leaving major life events just to avoid the mass exodus.

• Parenting Dilemma:

  • Should you stay after your own kid’s performance, or is it fine to leave?
  • Both agree it feels rude to leave immediately, especially when formalities or award ceremonies force you to stay.

---

3. Parent Life & School Social Bragging

Timestamps: 22:22 – 26:13

• L.A. Private School “How Was Your Summer?”

  • Sebastian satirizes the competitive summer recap conversation among parents.
  • “That’s what I did this summer. I was counting down the days to this day.” (Sebastian, 23:48)
  • “I ain’t into people who brag...Shut social media down for 30 days just to cleanse people’s palate.” (Sebastian, 24:26)

• Social Media Show-Offs:

  • Rant about adult sneaker “unboxings” and expensive watches on social.
  • “You got a gym shoe at 45 years old.” (Sebastian, 24:41)

---

4. Money Manners & Family Lessons

Timestamps: 27:35 – 29:11

• Teaching Kids to Respect Money:
  • Pete finds his daughter's money crumpled on the couch, reorganizes it, and gives a lesson:
    • “You almost treat money like you would prepare food. You respect the animal.” (Sebastian, 28:33)

---

5. Lottery Dreams & Gas Station Sociology

Timestamps: 29:11 – 43:39

• Family Lottery Experiment:

  • Sebastian indoctrinates his kids into picking Powerball numbers:
    • “My kid didn’t even know what the hell the lottery was...That’s because he already won it.” (Sebastian, 30:07; Pete, 30:15)

• The Ritual & Psychology of Choosing Numbers:

  • Hesitation around picking new vs. old numbers; agony of missing out.
  • “If all the numbers I played yesterday, I didn’t play today, and those numbers won—how do you not find a bridge?” (Pete, 50:50)

• Gas Station Vignettes:

  • Sebastian describes the character types he encounters while buying lottery tickets—detailing their voices and desperate purchases—which becomes a comedic sociological observation.
  • Dialog with the cashier about whether they get a cut when winning tickets are sold.

• Lottery Lady Personality:

  • Sebastian wants a more theatrical lottery drawing—not the bored, quick format currently on TV. Pete imagines jazzing it up, turning it into an entertainment event.

---

6. What If You Win?—Wealth, Anonymity, and Logistics

Timestamps: 47:20 – 59:32

• Would You Believe It?

  • “Would you feel the rest of your life like, I wouldn’t believe it’s real?” (Pete, 47:20)

• Claiming Prizes & Anonymity:

  • In CA and other states, winners' names are public.
  • “This is literally a way to get murdered.” (Sebastian, 48:07)

• Fantasy Spending:

  • Would you buy a super yacht or a jet? Both hosts discuss the shockingly high cost of extreme luxury.
    • “I mean, these yachts are 634 million. Doesn’t get me a yacht?” (Pete, 55:51–56:06)
    • “You’d be looking at between 15 and 22 million a year to upkeep this thing.” (Sebastian, 59:01)

• Satirical First Steps Post-Win:

  • Sebastian fantasizes about hiring police and firefighters for personal security.
    • “If you make a small donation to the police department…” (Sebastian, 54:16)
    • “Tell them they’re gonna sit in my driveway for the rest of her life, just in case a fire breaks out around here.” (Sebastian, 55:25)

• Could You Stay Humble?

  • Pete wonders: if you suddenly display wild wealth, you’d lose people’s respect—better to pretend you run a successful company.
    • “If you come in, I scratched a ticket, I ain’t giving you the same respect that the country club is if you started your own company.” (Pete, 53:04)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Tone & Style

True to Pete & Sebastian’s style, the tone is conversational, observational, irreverent, and full of rapid banter. They inject personal stories, exaggerated hypotheticals, and warm ribbing. The show retains a “guy-next-door” vibe, gently mocking both themselves and the absurdities of modern culture.

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

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pete and Sebastian show if you notice Pete, he is in a new location. We we saw this last week or a couple weeks ago depending on when this show is going to drop. But he is in a new home. We wish him the best in his new adventure into the world of the quote unquote rock. Got a couple Things that's bothering me, and this might be a little dated, but I think this might be evergreen that we could talk about any time of the year. And I don't know if you're been listening to the news or whatnot. There's, like, the Venice Film Festival, and there's these standing ovations that have been lasting after the film is played. For example, the last one, I think, was the Rock. He did a film about this MMA wrestler. It's like a autobiography about his life. Right. And the. The standing Ovation was 17 minutes. Right. So there's a lot of this standing ovation going on at movies.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Movie premieres. That's ridiculous.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, first of all, standing ovation. You know, it's been covered before. Like, you got to get up and. Okay, I've received a standing ovation before. It's uncomfortable. Like, I. I want to get off stage when I. When I. Like, some people milk it. Yeah.

[Pete Correli]

Bow, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And they're.

[Pete Correli]

Bow. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, oh, let me take it. Get the fuck out of here. Get off. Yeah, we don't. Don't. Don't overstay. You're welcome.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, it's. You know, it's a. It's weird. I've gotten the halfs where it's like, he almost looking at the other half going, would it have killed you. Would have killed you to just fill this thing out? You know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know a couple comedians that, like, they.

[Pete Correli]

They.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They almost, like, force you to do it, right? Like, the audience is clapping, and the. And the comedians are. Yeah, and the audience is clapping, and they're like, look, just go.

[Pete Correli]

This guy. Not leaving until we get up.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. I think collectively, it's one of the only things in life where nobody says anything, but everybody in the room just does it, you know, like, no one goes, we gonna stand up for this guy? There's none of that. Right? There's just like, hey, you know, like.

[Pete Correli]

And what about the slow one? What about the Not. Not standing up? And then all of a sudden, standing up, are you rethinking the movie? And go, oh, wait. Then that happened. Then that. Oh, I forgot that you're either up or you're not. If the closer doesn't make you pop out of your ass, like, pop up, then you don't. Don't do it right away. Don't do it at all. You like that fucking corn that pops, like, right at the end. I don't even want. You. Get the fuck out of the bag. You know, you think the corn popcorn's Done in that one. Pa. So. And again, it's because you're like, you're muscled into it. You're, you're, you're peer pressured into it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Like I equate it to the basketball game. 3, 2, 1. He shoots, scores. The whole crowd gets up and they clap. Same thing. Like what you're saying at a concert or a comedian or a singer, whatever. If it don't make you shoot out of your seat at the end, then, then don't even bother. But this, these idiots are doing 17 and a half minutes now. I don't even know how he gets past. What would you say an appropriate standing ovation should last a max.

[Pete Correli]

How long? A max of one minute.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, I'm even going 30 seconds. I think 30 seconds. If you count to 30, it's a long time for people to be clapping.

[Pete Correli]

Well, that's why I'm saying in con. I know that's the silent. I mean, in Venice, it should be like he got a one minute applause. That should be the unbelievable length. I agree with you. 30 seconds is more. You know what? I get up, 2, 3, 4.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm.

[Pete Correli]

I'm almost a cheerleader without the fucking pun. I pop up, I'm down. You know, we don't need to. 17 minutes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow.

[Pete Correli]

I bet the hands are all red.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, here the longest standing ovation for a film was 22 minutes. Pan's Labyrinth at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006, the Guinness World Record for longest applause, 3 hours and 16 minutes. And one second is achieved by Grace Evening and the Clap for Jesus team in Uganda in 2023. Okay, so 22 minutes, bro. That's an episode of Seinfeld with no commercials.

[Pete Correli]

All right? Crazy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

My question to you is, if it's 30 seconds to a minute, how. How does it.

[Pete Correli]

Like.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If somebody starts clapping now you're clapping. It's a minute. It's two minutes is. How do you stop the clap? I guess that that's like this one person. Okay, that's enough. And then the person next to them goes, okay, I'm done too. And that's a snowball effect. Or does two people, like two or three people go, I'm done. And other people go, are you kidding me?

[Pete Correli]

Go some more. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And do people, like, stop clapping? And they look around and go, fuck, man, they still go, yeah, fuck, they're still going. I got a clap too. How the hell does this shit work?

[Pete Correli]

I do think, to your point, that there's some people in the room that are clap influences, right? Like, Like If I was at a movie premiere and Tom Cruise was at that movie premiere and he kept clapping, we'd be like, clap until Tommy's done clapping. Right. And he'd be up there like, yeah, so. So maybe there's some powerful producers in that room clapping, keeping that shit going. I think you and I, we were just on our own because we're alphas. Do. I'm done.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But, you know, I'll give you a couple scenarios. Number one, and. And I'm pissed off at the people receiving the standing ovation. What happened to sit down, Stop, sit down. If I was getting a standing ovation, I'd stand up on my chair and go, everybody sit the fuck down. This is embarrassing.

[Pete Correli]

All right? Or leave.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know you like.

[Pete Correli]

Or be done.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, just. How about this? You're getting a standing ovation more than a minute, and you look around and go, stop, Please stop it, guys. You're too kind. You're too kind. And they still start going, so they won't stop. How about you just walk out?

[Pete Correli]

That's right. Just gotta do it. You gotta. Yeah. Maybe they're waiting for you to. When you saw Bocelli, which sounds to me like one of the most amazing shows for folks that may not have known, maybe season three of the cast. Sebastian went to Italy. Somewhere in Italy. Right. The Tuscan hills. Bocelli has a theater yet built where he does one show a year. Yes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The Theater of Silence.

[Pete Correli]

And after the show and before the show, he rides off on a horse that knows where it's going because he's blind. At the end of the show, does he get back on the horse and leave? You gave a standing O. Right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'll tell you what I did, man. Show's over. Standing O. I walked out of the standing O to find the shuttle because I knew it was gonna be a hell getting out. I don't stick around at the end of these things.

[Pete Correli]

Right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I've never been at the end of an event where, you know, it looks like they let go at a cleaning crew.

[Pete Correli]

That last sigh when the lights come on and you look at the person next to you going like, wow, that was something. You're not there for that. Wow, that was something.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I've never seen the arena or stadium look like. It just. They just, you know, like, I've always seen it in the environment that I'm supposed to see it in. I don't never see it with like, okay, put the lights on and send out the sweepers.

[Pete Correli]

That's nice. You keep it magical. You Never get past the magical part. But, Pacelli, when you did stand up, you said you initially stood up. Do you remember that feeling? That sounds like that was just impulse, man. Like, oh, my God, what did I just see? Right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, no, no. It's just like. You just have to. No, it's just. I'm just saying it's like, just the setting and everything is. It's. It's beautiful. You just stand up because it's almost like, the thing to do.

[Pete Correli]

All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's just like, everybody stand up. You know? Just like. You know, it's like you could feel the energy, the collective energy of, like, everybody just getting up, and you kind of get swept up and like, oh, wow, I'm up. I'm up. Okay. You look at your wife and then you go. Like, during the standing ovation, I went, no, not now. Generally, I'm not even there for at the end. But if I'm there and it's like a. It's like a play. I'm talking to my wife. Like, I'm talking to my wife during the standard ovation, and normally there's an argument. The out of here. She's like, no, just stand there. You know, there's. There's no. Like, oh, my God, this is unbelievable. And I'm, like, staring at the thing.

[Pete Correli]

The. The standing ovation is the last possible chance to get any head start on the cattle coming out after that show ends, right? You're looking at Lana like, this is our last chance. Otherwise, we are in it. We're in it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't like mass movement of people. I don't. I never did. I never liked going out of anything. And we're only up the stairs, and now we're in the lobby, and, oh, that person dropped their hat. They got to get it. I got to go around. And now we're in the street and we're looking for. No, I'm like. I'm like an assassin. I leave, you know, like, I leave early. I swift out. Where's he going? Like, if there's a camera, do you.

[Pete Correli]

Feel like you missed some wonderful things? Some performances, some sporting event? You don't. If you could see a short video of all the things you've missed to get to your car or the train sooner, you think you'd be like, oh, man, I have some regrets or none.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I left the super bowl early.

[Pete Correli]

Was it a close game? I mean, you almost pride yourself on the things you've left. You know what I'm saying? I think. I think you ought to go to midnight mass at the Vatican just to walk out. After everybody gets the bread, they go back to their pew. You're looking at line like speed them. They're all praying on one knee. We'll get halfway back to the hotel.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I look at intermission and halftime as the end of the event.

[Pete Correli]

Does Lana ever say to you ahead of time, like, don't do that for this thing? I don't want to. I don't want to leave early for this, so don't even put me in that position.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, here. I'm doing it at the. At the school events.

[Pete Correli]

All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Because the recital. Listen to me.

[Pete Correli]

You can't.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is it wrong there's a piano recital? It's like 30 kids doing the. And I. As soon as I get the brochure, the pamphlet for the recital, I look to see what order my kid is going in. All right. Yeah, sure enough, she's always kind of towards the end, like, if it's 30 kids, she's. She's 25, right? So that means I got 24 kids. Well, I gotta sit through these 24x until my kid goes, what's your take on if Seraphina was third? She goes.

[Pete Correli]

I used to get pissed.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[Pete Correli]

Same thing. What happened? See, Would always be last at her thing. And people would come in, their kid would go, their kids are not even good taking photos. Boom, we're all gone. Like, it's a photo shoot, man. And now you know by the end. So I. I told the lady, I Was like, listen, this ain't. You Put Satan at the end, nobody sticks around. It's like, put her on at the beginning or I'm not. We're not doing this anymore. I'll start to tell the parents they should stick around. It's rude, man. Come to the show or don't come to the show. That's my take on it. I mean, by you, though, you only got four left. You may as well just stay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I stay. I stay the whole time. What I'm saying is, if she was third or fourth, is it rude to watch her and leave?

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, I mean, it's confusing, but it's rude.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'll give you an example.

[Pete Correli]

Well.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sadie does swimming. She's done with her swim meet. Do you stick around and watch the other older kids swim?

[Pete Correli]

No, no, definitely not. But is that the same when Seraphina has a gymnastics, you don't watch. You watch everyone she's going against to see where she lands. Right, what place she comes in. But then you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Only reason I'm watching. No, the only reason I'm watching the other kids in the gymnastics meet is Seraphina is in the meet, like, right there. There's 13 kids that got to do the beam. So Seraphina is number eight. When she does the beam, I gotta watch the others because after beam, there's another event. And this is where they get you. This is where they get you. Especially in gymnastics, the award ceremony is at the end, so you got to stick around because their team might win a trophy. Right. So you got to stay to the end. The recital, there's always like, hey, you get a certificate for grade. So they put these things at the end so nobody leaves.

[Pete Correli]

Right. Even at a plate. They have one big number where we're.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Gonna bring everybody back out.

[Pete Correli]

We call that to make sure the parents don't leave early number. Right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. All the kids come back out. So, like. Yeah, of course, if your kids in the final come back out, of course you gotta stay because they're. They're wrapped up into it regardless, bro. And I gotta tell you this, speaking of staying and this, that, and the other thing I went to, the first day of school was today. Long summer. 81 days, bro. It's like the one of the longest summers I think I've ever lived through. Yeah. In regards to Gap.

[Pete Correli]

Right, Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I'm at the school and this again, this is la private school. Shit. I don't know if this is relatable to anybody that's, you know, just going to. But, like, in la private school, this is the big question. The first day of school, how was your summer? You know, you know what that's a prompt for? Let me tell you all the things I did this summer.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You see this shit when your kids go to school.

[Pete Correli]

We haven't spent a lot of time hanging out, talking.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Who am I talking to? I don't sleep.

[Pete Correli]

Well. This must be awesome though.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, his kids, his kids are going, where's your daddy? I don't know. He's been up for 96 hours.

[Pete Correli]

Dad comes home to just take a quick half hour nap and he's gone again. So considering when it got to your family and your boy goes, what did I do? I dove into the blue grotto. I got right out of the canoe.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And swam in the blue grotto.

[Pete Correli]

I can't imagine the things these kids did, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

These are the parents. We go to the school and then the parents say, how was your summer?

[Pete Correli]

Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I don't give any. I don't tell them what I did. I joke around. That was my summer. I was counting down the days to this day. Yeah, that's what I did this summer. He's like, how was your summer? Oh, we, well, we went to, you know, we went to Australia and then we went to Japan and then I, you know, I went to the Masters. And they're gonna give you the whole thing that they did this. What are you doing? He's just asking me so you could tell what the hell you did. You know, just come on with the bragging shit. I ain't into people who brag.

[Pete Correli]

I know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And this goes for everybody out there on social media. And by the way, I think we should shut social media down for 30 days just to cleanse people's palate. Shut it.

[Pete Correli]

It's like, look at where I was. Look at what I did.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If I see another. If I see someone open up a shoe box one more time on social media to show me the shoes that they got, the sneakers that came that. The Jordan 12s that nobody's got, and you're gonna open them up and show the people what you bought. You got a gym shoe at 45 years old.

[Pete Correli]

That's cr. The things that people are into now that are entertaining. Yes, that is entertaining. That's valuable to people. Like just. I want to see people look at their shoes. It's. Bro, you know, you know what I've been watching when I. The only thing I've been watching now I'm getting better. When I do watch people jumping off cliffs and Shit. You see this in the water? Higher and higher, they're going. First they throw a rock in there so they get a visual and make the water a little, like, soft. Have you seen them? I'm talking. You gotta know what I'm talking about. They like more entertaining than.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I got a problem with it all.

[Pete Correli]

It's crazy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, these people doing these crazy things just to go on social media with. We have this conversation before about, like, social media.

[Pete Correli]

We have it all the time.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If social media wasn't there, would people be climbing a building with a GoPro camera going, look at where I am. I just, you know, but the shoes bother me. If you bought a watch and you showing me your watch online, I mean, just. Can anybody just wear anything and just be in the moment and just. It's on, or do we have to. Oh, yeah, look at it. Look at it. Beautiful. I don't know. I grew up going, my father goes, don't show my son. I've taught my son. I've taught to not flash cash when we're out, right?

[Pete Correli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And he caught me doing it. Like, I had. I brought my wallet out and I had, like, a knot on my wallet. And he goes, daddy, put that away. I go, what? He goes, put that away. Somebody's gonna rob you. I'm like, jesus Christ, did I teach this kid too good? I was just pulling the wallet out to actually pay for something. He was like, put it back in your pocket. We're gonna get stabbed.

[Pete Correli]

He wants you to go, how much for the bagel? All right, I'll be. Come back over. Well, let me ask you this, being such a money guy. The other day, Sadie went back in. Fredonia, was still there last month, this little flea market up the block. And she went with some of her friends, and she brought some money, didn't get anything. Came home and went to do other stuff. But I go upstairs and on the couch up there, where, you know, by her bedroom is all the cash she has just literally crumpled up like a big ball just thrown down like it was stuck in a jeans. And it looks like the way you'd crumple up a piece of loose leaf paper. So I grabbed it all, put it in proper denominations, gave it a nice fold and clean and laid it out. And then I told her to respect money. Do you. Do you think that's something you should do or, like, whether you have a crumpled dollar or fold a dollar. A dollar's a dollar.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, it's already taught. It's already taught in the house. You almost Treat money like you would prepare food. You respect the animal.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, I like that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Do you respect the bills?

[Pete Correli]

All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I've never.

[Pete Correli]

I thought I was on to something.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

My. My money. I never had to, like, unfold it. Like, I see some people, like, they take the money up, by the way, as I saw it, soon, what do you think of this? I played the lottery Sunday, bro.

[Pete Correli]

If you would have won, you. You would go pick it up. You can't even pick it up. They'd be like, you glutton.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

More.

[Pete Correli]

More. You'd have to send someone else to go get it for you, bro. That's so fucking funny. You think Bezos plays the lottery?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know how much. The thing is.

[Pete Correli]

It was a billion. It was a billion, probably when you played, right? What is it now?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, 1.1 billion. This was Sunday, right? So I'm like, I gotta play, right? And this is what we do all the time. Once you hear 1.1 billion, like, at 500 million, that's not enough, right? Billion.

[Pete Correli]

We got. We got it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I did it as, like, a family experiment. I want to get your take on this. My kid didn't even know what the hell the lottery was.

[Pete Correli]

That's because he already won it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sorry.

[Pete Correli]

It was in there. I couldn't resist.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I said, we're gonna pick five numbers between 1 and 69. I said, and then we're gonna pick one number between 1 and 26. And that's the Powerball, right? And they're like, what?

[Pete Correli]

I don't know how to play. You know how to play it? I don't know how to play it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I didn't know how to play until recently. I mean, we grew up. Listen. We grew up playing the lottery. My father, every week, would buy lottery tickets. I got a cool. It was called lotto. Got to go get my lotto. Go put in my numbers, right? He had to say, you know, the. Every. You know, our birthdays. He had to hit his numbers, right?

[Pete Correli]

Beautiful. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. So I thought I'd. I thought I'd bring this tradition back. I thought I'd introduce gambling to my kids at a young age, right? But it's funny, they didn't even. They go, why are we doing this? I said, well, it's the lottery, and if these numbers come in, we would win $1.1 billion. They don't know. Billion. Million. They don't know.

[Pete Correli]

No, no.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a lot of money, Right? Right. They're like. And I go, then daddy pays to play. And they're like, how much do you pay to win the 1.1 billion? I said, it's $2 per set of numbers. She goes, well, how many sets of numbers do we all choose? I said, everybody's gonna choose two sets. Mommy, Daddy, Caruso, and you. So they all choose the numbers. Now, I go into a gas station. Now, generally speaking, my gas station time rarely goes over, and we've been into gas stations on the road. Generally speaking, it's you go in, you piss, maybe you pick up a bag of peanuts and you're out, right? There's not a lot of time in a gas station that would exceed, in my opinion, for me at least, if you're going to the bathroom. Four minute visit, pops. Okay? Generally at a gas station, you come in 20 on five, or whatever it is. 20 on five? What is this, 1981? 180 on six. Imagine like it was put 20 on five. Now it's like you put 238,000. I pump seven.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Disney plus wants to know, are you ready for Marvel Studios Thunderbolts, the New Avengers, now streaming on Disney plus. Let's do this. One of the best Marvel movies of all time is now streaming on Disney plus. Hey, you weren't listening to me. I said Thunderbolts. The New Avengers is now streaming on Disney plus.

[Ad Voice]

Meet the New Avengers.

[Pete Correli]

That's cool.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Then Marvel Studios Thunder Thunderbolts, the New Avengers, rated PG 13. Now streaming on, you guessed it, Disney Plus. So I didn't know how this worked. I go, I want to pick my own numbers. I'm that guy. I used to go, I used to look at people like, they go, oh, you think you just get the random pick? What do you think you got the winning number because your kid was born on the 29th of August? You know, like.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, Yep, absolutely. It's more about if it did land on that and I didn't use my kid's birthday, then I hang myself. Yeah. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I had to ask, where's the lottery? You know, like the. Because I know nowhere. It's over there. Oh, God. They got like, they got like a loser section for that.

[Pete Correli]

Like, this is, this is why they don't like when it gets high like that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Because.

[Pete Correli]

Oh, because then all, you know, you people come in like, oh, where's the machine? Meanwhile, it's usually derelicts over there with two nickels to rub together, like play. You ever walk by an otb? Oh my. I wouldn't let anyone paint my house that I've ever seen in an otb. Jesus.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God, no. That I'm sitting there like filling out the guy next to me like he's scratching for life.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah. Did you pull that big wad out your son was talking about to pay for your two dollar lot of ticket?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But the shit you hear while you're filling out your forms because I had it like, I had an ear to the cash register. Like, people, what they come in for, Right. It's really fascinating to, to listen to the people coming in. You know, you get the, like, yeah, could you put on over 50 on 2? And then you hear, yeah, you know, you could even just by the voice. And I had two marble red. You could almost by the voice before they even like get into it, like what they need, right? You know, like, get a six pack. He's drunk, right?

[Pete Correli]

Oh, yeah, go ahead and get that dirty 20 out of your pocket because I know you don't got a credit card, right? You can always tell when they're paying cash before they even show it too. You know what I mean?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I thought, you know, let me make some conversation because the guy's getting shouted the whole eight hour shift. Give me a marble red. Give me a two pin this, that. So I'm like, you know what? Let me talk to the guy.

[Pete Correli]

You'll be a ray of sunshine in the Shell gas station. Are you going to make his day? Mr. Sunoco? You're going to cheer up Mr. Sunoco. Look at you. Oh, it's like, let me step outside the castle and walk amongst the people for an afternoon, see if I can put a smile on their.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, I just say, like, so you.

[Pete Correli]

Want to cheer me up? Get me the out of here. You got a job for me?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm sorry. But anyway, you ever, like, you know, yeah, let me open it up with this guy. And then as soon as I opened it up, I'm like, oh, my God, what the hell did I do this for? You know what people don't get is like sarcasm. And like, I go to the guy, I go, how much you get if the gas, like if the winning ticket. I said, if the winning ticket comes out of here, what do you get? Nothing. I said, what? Nothing? I'm gonna need nothing. I.

[Pete Correli]

That'S.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I said, does the gas station get anything? One million. I mean, one million. I go, oh, the gas station gets a million. I go, what do you get out of that? Nothing. Oh, fuck. You know, like, I kind of goofy with you. Like, I go, you need to tell me. This gas station wins a million and the owner gonna give you nothing.

[Pete Correli]

Nothing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Ah.

[Pete Correli]

That'S. And that is your level of caring, right? Because now you back to ladder. That's later. And that's it, you know, you're gonna get together with Kathy and Carol and Cindy and petition to Sonoco. I keep cursing, but like, you know, it's. I tell you, though, it's like every gas station is playing the lotto, man. You know what I'm saying? You own a gas station, you could win a million dollars.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, the guy goes, we, I don't, we know. I can't even get the accent we had. And I go, two million. That's so want someone won $2 million out of the, out of the gas station. I go, oh, so this is the lucky gas station. This is where the winners come out of nothing.

[Pete Correli]

Oh, no, no, it's the other way around. Just rip up your ticket again. That's tapped out. You don't win twice. No gas station wins twice. It's done. Burn your ticket. You probably didn't even get a number. Did you even get one number?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, here, there's the whole thing right now. The kids want to watch the numbers come in.

[Pete Correli]

I was great, man, this is great. It's worth the $2. This whole story with the kids, it's.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like fun, you know, they're like, when's the drawing at 759. And they had a countdown on the TV. Five minutes, four minutes. And then boom, boom, boom. And all of a sudden it comes on, right? The woman comes on, bro. I didn't like the woman pulling the numbers.

[Pete Correli]

Kind of physical. In shape. In shape.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I mean a little, little overweight, you know, pleasantly, you know, pleasant, but like, come on, like, we're the lottery. Welcome to the Powerball. And we're going to pull the numbers here. 9, 12. Thank you, good night. That's bro, tonight's drawing is $1.1 billion. It's like, what the. It's not $10, you know what I'm saying? It's like, yeah, yeah, I want someone to come up. Guys, are we ready for this?

[Pete Correli]

I'm already, already. You could have said two numbers. I don't need you. Are you ready for this? What are you, a warm up back for the live studio show? Give me the numbers, bro. There's psychos out there. They don't need your, your, your personality. What are you talking about? Just three, two, one.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

For the, for the people that are teaching their kids gambling.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want a little excitement.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, yeah. I appreciate what you're doing with it and you're trying to turn it into a very fun event for the whole family. But let's not forget you even called it yourself. There's usually down on their luck. People playing these things on a daily basis. They don't want the whole intro. They just want the lady to come on and go, these are the numbers.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But do you think somebody came up and was like a hype guy in the lottery said, tone it down. These people just Want the numbers. We don't need to do a song on this.

[Pete Correli]

I don't know, because I do like what you're doing, but I could see why half the people wouldn't like it. And it could almost be its own half hour show. We're going to do the numbers, but before that, how about a little John Mayer from his new album comes out. The balls behind that pop up out of the thing. Are they floating? And then they pop up and she turns them around.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I didn't even see anything. It was a voice. Because you go on. You go on the. On the website and you just hear. Used to be in Chicago, the way they used to do this in the 80s, they used to have the balls blowing in the thing, right? So you see the guy come on, balls were blowing, right? And. Oh, there was a little anticipation, right? And the ball pop up. It was like that, like. Oh, and then Turn it around, 18.

[Pete Correli]

Damn it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They'd give you time to look and pick it, right? Space it out. Now I'm just hearing a voice. One, six, two, you know, fuck, man. And you always had the two even, right? The two tanks.

[Pete Correli]

I feel like she's just back there going, one, seven, five, seven. Again, two, right? Like, like. Because when you do the way you're saying, which is such a great bit, there would be the side tank with those last two alternative balls still floating. We still got the two on the side. We still got the two on, you know, and again, you put an opening act up in front of that, you know, maybe a little. And then maybe you do one ball, little song, come back to another ball. We don't even do it. It'd be better than half the shit we're watching on TV right now, man. That's crazy. Crazy. So they just tell it to you. I'm surprised, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They rattle it off. I couldn't even get it down. And then the shit shuts down. Then I'm like, what's the numbers? So I got to go and refresh the website. And the website doesn't have the numbers until like another five to ten minutes. So we get the numbers. Think about the thing about looking at your lottery tickets. Yeah. When you're a loser, like, you know right away, like, you just look at the wrong go. Not. That's it. That, that, that, that. That's it. Go on. Like, it's. There's not even any time to go, oh, we got an 8, right? Oh, we got a 17. It's like the odds are so against you, right, that you're Lucky you get one number. I only got three numbers out of the eight sets. I got three numbers. One and not in a row. One here, one there, and one there. Right. And when you pick the numbers, do you feel like. Do you feel this way? Because I go, oh, I don't have any in the 60s. Right. Like, do you feel like you got to spread out the numbers across the spectrum of what they give you? Because isn't.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you picked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 1, 2, 3, 4,. 5, 6, that's the same odds as you pick in one. 17, 20. Right, right. No.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, but in your head, you're like, there's no way it's gonna be 56 and 57. I pick my numbers the way I set my battleships when I play Battleship. Like, I do a spread, I do a spread. Like, I got the tank over here when I. You know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But across, like you. I mean, that's not even. Logically speaking. That's not even. It could literally be numbers all under 30, even though they're 69. Right.

[Pete Correli]

If you won. If you won full on one point, whatever billion dollars, wouldn't you feel the rest of your life like, I wouldn't believe it's real? I feel like I'm trapped in a dream. Like. Like, would you. How long would it take you to. To believe? Lana, Lana. Lana. Like, would you call your lawyer? Who would you call? You'd be like, there's no way. There's no way. This is like. I don't even know if I'd ever believe it. I don't think I'd ever wake up from whatever my life would become. It would be so bizarre.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want you to look this up. Are lottery winners, like, public? Do you have to? In some states.

[Pete Correli]

Some states they make you, and others, they don't. It's really weird. I don't know why they'd make anybody, but. Because the lotto wants to be. Be able to promote itself by showing how. Look, people actually win states.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This is with states with full anonymity for all winners. California, don't even pop in there. States with another over a certain threshold put in California. What's the rule on California? I mean, if you win the lottery. 1.3 billion, and you're in California. All lottery winners names are public record and cannot be kept anonymous. This is like, literally a way to get murdered. Like, if I win the lottery.

[Pete Correli]

That's so funny.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You can delay claiming your prize for up to one year, which may help reduce the initial media frenzy.

[Pete Correli]

By the time you come for threats. Oh, right. To your family and friends. Not even you. You got a cousin. You got a cousin who goes to college in Maine. Well, right now she's in my basement. When you get that first lottery check, why would they make you. Can you find out a reason why they would make you have to give your name?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Edwin Castro, the winner of the 2.04 billion Powerball jackpot in 2022, only released a statement and did not appear at the public announcement. 2. How do you do this? I mean, like, if you don't wanna. Because I'm playing again tonight. I think it's up to 1.3, 1.4 right now.

[Pete Correli]

You want to play a ticket together?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is it? Is it? Yeah. Well, yeah, the whole office that puts one together and the person that go buys it claims that they bought it and they up.

[Pete Correli]

This is. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Powerball or whatever this is. Is it available in New York?

[Pete Correli]

I know Powerball is nationwide.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, Powerball is nationwide. Okay, so I'm going. Okay, now, this is the question I got for you. Do you play the same numbers?

[Pete Correli]

It's the same thing you said before, and none of it matters.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right, I know, but what if you picked a whole new set and the old numbers won? Wouldn't you rather just have a clean. Like just. These are my numbers, and I don't have another set of numbers.

[Pete Correli]

This is why I don't even play. Because if what you just said happened, if all the numbers I played yesterday, I didn't play today, and then those numbers won, how do you not find a bridge? I mean, how do you live with yourself every time you go to pull a fuck. Goddamn 10 spot out of your. Out of your pocket? You're like, I was one. One day away from $1.5 billion.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'd rather. I don't know.

[Pete Correli]

What do you do? You got to play it. You got to play. You got to play that and something else. Play that and something else. That's what you have to do. Any number pops in your head on your way to the place, you got to play that. You got to play it all. Anything that comes your head, play it. You got to play it. Because if it comes, whatever highway you're on to get there, play that. I'm telling you, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God.

[Pete Correli]

What would you do? What would be the first thing you did?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The first. I don't know. I don't know what the hell. I don't know what the hell I would do. After you tell Jackie you won the lottery, who's the next phone call?

[Pete Correli]

To I tell you on the cast, I go, and guess who won? Yeah. Nobody. My family. That's it. I don't know. I mean, you gotta get.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Dude, if you were anonymous, right, Would you make yourself anonymous or, sorry, would you make yourself public?

[Pete Correli]

No, I wouldn't like to a press conference, but it would be obvious when I, you know, say, do you want to go to, you know, Turks and Caicos on my yacht with me for three months? Your whole family.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, let's say, for example, you move into the new neighborhood, right? You win the lottery tonight and you buy a million dollar Bugatti next week and it pulls up into your thing. Do your neighbor go, that's a beautiful car. What the hell? And saved up. I mean, how do you live a life but then also be a lottery winner and not tell anybody?

[Pete Correli]

I mean, I don't know, do you like, win the lottery and then you start a fake company and pretend it did really well, just so you look like, I made it, man, instead of, I want it because you come in, I scratched a ticket. I ain't giving you the same respect that the country club is if you started your own company and it's crushing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, here's, here's, here's my second question. If you win the lottery, do you go back to the gas station and go to nothing and he's going to take it. Do you give, do you give the attendant the ticket and go, I won, right? Oh, who do you go to to claim the prize? That's what I'm saying, right? I got to go back into the gas station and talk to the, the guy that. No, I didn't see that. This guy's going to give me 1.4 billion.

[Pete Correli]

I think I called the police. I think I called the police. 911, this is not an emergency, but I got the winning lotto ticket and I don't know what the fuck to do right now. And they're like, we're going to send the police escort. Oh, shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you make a small donation to the police department.

[Pete Correli]

Donation? You're already taking half out in tax. What do you guys get for that? What is loose? Yeah. Or wherever it's going. Wow, that's.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, it's great. This is what you do. Yeah, you go, you call the police station and go, listen, I'm going to need the four of the best police officers. You have to come to my house right now. This is an emergency. Well, what's the problem, sir? Just tell them to come here and then you hang the phone up right for the best. Come and you tell them, listen, give you notice. You're working for me now.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah. Oh, my God. You're each making a million dollars a year.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And. And because I live in California, I tell them, go get four of your firefighter friends and tell them they're gonna sit in my driveway for the rest of the. For the rest of her life, just in case a fire breaks out around her.

[Pete Correli]

They're gonna get 150 grand a month each to sit in my driveway with a fire hose right next to them. That's it. What, you got that kind of billion? What do you get first? A giant jet fully, like. Like loaded with pilots? Or do you get a big, giant yacht with a full crew to float you anywhere in the world or fly anywhere in the world?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know, I still don't buy any of that stuff. I still don't get. The. The yacht will wipe you clean. Your 634 is gone. I mean, this. These. These.

[Pete Correli]

These yachts are 634 million. Doesn't get me a yacht, like, endless.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, not the. Not the ones I'm looking at that I see, you know, these 300 footers. Look up. How much is a. Like a 300 foot. Yeah, like 100 foot vessel. Yeah. I need. Give me. Give me price on this. Oh, here. The most expensive yacht is $4.8 billion, right? What? Look up this yacht. It's called Lionheart 150 million super yacht.

[Pete Correli]

Okay, that's too much of a dent out of my 650. That is way too much. I thought. I thought I'd get an unbelievable one for like, 75 million max. Another 50 million to run it for life.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't get a yacht. I don't get a plane. I would do what I'm doing now with the. If I want to rent a private plane, I rent it. Or if I want to get a yacht. Listen, I looked in the yacht pricing recently just to see what this shit costs for the summer, because I'm like, be nice to. Because I don't know. Something about boating. I really love boating. I love being on the water, and it's. It's insane. It's insane. Really?

[Pete Correli]

What about. What about a giant, beautiful sailboat where, like, most of it is. No, it has to be yacht, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[Pete Correli]

I mean, it's not really boating. When you think of boating, you don't think a yacht. You think of a boat.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a boat.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, but it's like, if you go, I'm into boating, and then somebody pull up at A sailboat. And you go, shots. They're gonna be like, what the. It's pretty specific type of boating is all I'm saying.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's expensive, man. I was, I was. It's expensive like 7, 7, $800,000 a week.

[Pete Correli]

But that's because we talked about that. A lot of that's because that's a service. If you owned your own yacht once. I own the 150,000 lions, whatever. And I got my crew. I'm not dropping a million a week from me and my family with my crew. Right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, you got the boat, you got to pay for the gas, you got to pay for the crew, you got to pay for docking. I mean, it's, you know, you got the boat, but now you got to maintain the boat. Like type into like chat GPT. Like if you have a 150 million dollar boat, give a general idea of what the upkeep a year on that is. That's ridiculous, man. It's insane.

[Pete Correli]

Yeah, but if the money I have from my leftover money in my lotto is making enough interest in the bank to pay off what the yacht costs me per year, I'm just breaking even. I'm not dropping any cash. I'm not some beautiful, beautiful. I'm just streamlining. I'm going from Isle of Capri up to Maine.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You'd be looking at between 15 and $22 million a year to upkeep this thing. Wow, man.

[Pete Correli]

That's level of wealth is staggering, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

True. Salaries and benefits, fuel dockage, port fees, insurance, maintenance and repairs, provisions and guest. It's. It's ridiculous, bro. Just, just get it. Get a canoe and be done with it. All right, that's, that's the time here.

[Pete Correli]

Good luck with your lottery ticket.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pete and Sebastian show. Thanks again for coming out and listening and I'll let you know if I win the lottery. Yeah, next week.

[Pete Correli]

All right. The show has ended.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

My kid didn't even know what the hell the lottery was.

[Pete Correli]

That's because he already won it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]
