The Pete and Sebastian Show – EP 675 – “SHARK ATTACK”

Release Date: October 7, 2025
Hosts: Pete Correale & Sebastian Maniscalco

---

Overview

This episode dives deep into the everyday comedy of parenting, youth sports, generational differences, and summer anxieties—sharpened with the hosts’ signature blend of sarcasm and heartfelt candor. Sebastian opens up about recent soccer struggles with his son’s team (hilariously named “Tralalalero”), the softening of youth sports culture, and the nostalgia for a grittier, tougher upbringing. Pete chimes in with relatable stories, including a real beach shark scare and viral gym etiquette moments. Throughout, they riff on parental roles, youth coaching, athlete “good looks,” and how modern life keeps getting softer and, perhaps, sillier.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Parenting & Quality Time

• Sebastian’s Heartfelt Father-Son Moment (01:58 – 03:32)
  Sebastian shares watching the Bills-Ravens game with his son Caruso, leading to a rare, tender exchange:

  “Daddy, I like these moments when it’s just you and I, we got our own space and watching the game together.” (02:27, Caruso via Sebastian)
  This reflective moment makes Sebastian consider the contrast between quality time and the frustrations he feels around youth sports.

2. The Youth Soccer Rant: “Tralalalero” & Participation Culture

• Soccer Blues and the Name Game (03:43 – 13:04)

  • Sebastian’s son’s team, "Tralalalero," gets creamed by "the Bruisers"—leading to a rich vein of comedy about "progressive" youth sports:

    “If the other team in soccer has black hair, and your team doesn’t, your team’s gonna lose.” (04:27, Sebastian)

  • He skewers the voting process for the team’s silly name:

    “How do you say ‘Go Tralalalero’? Now I’m upset the coaches didn’t nip this in the bud!” (09:13)

  • Pete tries to offer a more laid-back perspective:

    "Let the kids decide. That's the... It's a very progressive California. Aren’t we all winning?" (10:05)

  • Sebastian sees it as a sign of cultural softness:

    "This is why bullies happen. Bullies are created from this type of situation." (10:23)

• Postgame Participation Trophies & “Garbage Food” (13:04 – 16:55)

  • Sebastian is incensed by celebration after a lopsided loss and the handing out of sugary snacks.
  • Caruso rejects the post-game treats, echoing his father's values:

    “Dad, they’re handing out Oreo cookies, fruit rolls, and Gatorade. It’s garbage. I’m not having any of it.” (14:41, via Sebastian)

• Drills & Tough Love: The Old-School Approach (16:56 – 18:07)

  • Sebastian makes Caruso—and two onlookers—practice left-foot passing, shocking them with blunt feedback:

    "I said, that's not good. I said, I thought you said you were good with the left foot. He goes, I am. I go, that was weak." (15:52)

3. Coaching Philosophies: New School vs. Old School

• To Coach or Not To Coach? (16:55 – 26:28)

  • Sebastian debates taking over as coach, worried about ruffling feathers in the age of lawsuits and sensitive parents:

    “If I am the coach, there could be multiple lawsuits.” (22:56)

  • Pete warns about California’s ultra-progressive environment:

    “If I want to play and pretend I'm a unicorn while I'm playing, I'm gonna do that, too, because it’s California and I'm fucking eight.” (23:46)

• Nostalgia for Tougher Parenting (18:07 – 21:35)

  • Sebastian reminisces about his own dad’s silent disappointment after games, contrasting it to current youth coaching methods:

    “He goes, you 15 years old, you don’t even know what tired is yet.” (19:19)

  • Discussion of cultural roots in soccer passion—how his father’s intensity came from growing up in Italy.

4. Beauty in Sports: From Kid Endorsements to Cam Newton

• Allure of Good Looks in Athletics (26:29 – 31:33)
  • The hosts riff on how much athletic success can be tied to appearance and marketability—Sebastian jokes about Caruso’s endorsement future:

    “If he matches his skills with his good looks, this guy could be a brand... doing endorsements by the age of 10.” (27:07)

  • Debates on which quarterbacks (Garoppolo, Cam Newton) have true “matinee idol” looks.

5. Modern Manners: Barefoot Gym Etiquette

• Pete’s Viral Gym Confrontation (39:02 – 54:48)
  • Pete retells putting a barefoot gym-goer in his place (and being filmed doing so):

    “You got your foot, your bare foot on the bench that other people, people gotta work out on. You don’t think that’s disgusting and embarrassing?” (50:13, Pete)

  • Analyzes with Sebastian how such confrontations do or don’t change social behavior.

6. Shark Attack! Fear & Farce at the Beach

• Cape Cod Shark Signage & Real Danger (56:04 – 63:45)
  • Pete describes the ominous shark warning signs at Nauset Beach, the reality of dangerous encounters, and lifeguard stories about bloody seal attacks.
  • Sebastian marvels at the presence of a “severe bleeding first aid kit” and analyzes the absurdity:

    "There was a meeting... Like, 'Is there something we could do?' One guy said, 'We could put a severe bleeding first aid kit there.'" (60:33)

  • Both incredulous at people still swimming—a perfect mix of comic exasperation and common sense.

  —Sebastian, ribbing Pete over a laissez-faire approach (08:04)

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Let's get into a couple of topics.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want to start with Buffalo Bills played the Baltimore Ravens season opener. I don't know if you saw the game, see the game?

[Pete Corrieli]

I did. Didn't stay up for the whole thing, unfortunately.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God. So I watched the game the last eight minutes. When I tuned in, it was 40 to 25. Ravens had the game pretty much wrapped up. But as we know by now, Bills came back at 141 40. Now, I put the game on. I had just come home from my sister's house. Caruso saw that I put the game on, ran to take a shower really quick, came back into my bedroom, jumped into bed with me, and we're watching a game together.

[Pete Corrieli]

Awesome.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He was, he was where Lana sleeps, I was where I sleep. We were both tucked in under the covers, right? We're watching the game. And it was, you know, it was kind of late into the evening, kind of like around his bedtime. So he wasn't really hyper jumping off the walls or nothing. He was just kind of sitting there watching the game. And out of nowhere he just leans over, puts his head on my chest, just laying there watching the game. And he tells me, daddy, I like these moments when it's just you and I, we got our own space and we're watching the game together, Right? It was a moment where I felt like because earlier in the week, actually the day before I went to a soccer game and I'm upset at what I saw. Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

I'm sorry. I mean, you're funny the way you present that. I'm not laughing at the situation. But what?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You should laugh. You should laugh. I go, I get my chair, I sit down and I go. I'm away from other parents. I like to sit and watch the game and I don't want anybody around me.

[Pete Corrieli]

Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I'm watching my son out there, he's warming up and I'm watching the other team warm up. Now, the other team, there's six, seven, eight year old kids all kind of together. The other team's doing drills, you know, passing drills. The coaches, Portuguese kids are all dark, you know, I'm sorry, let me just call, Call it what it is. If the other team in soccer has black hair.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And your team doesn't, your team's going to lose.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah, we agree. So what are you saying then, like dark haired Italian kids or like, who likes soccer the most?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Europeans.

[Pete Corrieli]

Europeans. Okay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

South Americans.

[Pete Corrieli]

They love.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know generally speaking, if your kid needs sunscreen, his team's going to lose.

[Pete Corrieli]

That's a good way to put.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right. Yeah. Well, yeah, the other team, Germans, good too.

[Pete Corrieli]

I've seen that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know that there's exceptions. Swedes, Germans. I'm thinking, I'm just saying in general.

[Pete Corrieli]

So in America.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

In America. So the other team, I'm thinking, okay, we're done, we're done. We're going to get. We're going to get our ass cleaned. Sure enough, they start playing. I could tell right away the skills are far more advanced than what our team's doing. They're passing the coaches out there going cross, cross, just like we practice, cross. And I'm not hearing a damn thing from our five coaches. We got five coaches, they got one coach, we got five and we're down five, zero.

[Pete Corrieli]

How old? How old?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Six, seven, eight year old kids.

[Pete Corrieli]

Still young.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Still young, still young. They're giving nil contracts to 8 year olds.

[Pete Corrieli]

Are you serious? Come on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. That they're recruiting kids with potential at this age. All right. Yeah. So get it together. So I'm looking at this going, oh, man, God, this is, this is just terrible for me to, to see. And granted that the fathers are given their time and I, I get it. But if you're going to give your time, let's give the time and the effort. So halftime comes, our team's all scattered. You know, one kid's over here and another kid's over there. They're in a circle and the coach is drawing out plays on his clipboard. He's got a dry erase clipboard. Tony, when you're here, you got to get the ball. And our kids looking at the butterfly. We played a second half.

[Pete Corrieli]

All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't even want to tell you this. I don't even know how to tell you this because I can't even pronounce the name. The name of our team. Yeah, I might have to have you look this up. It's called Italian. It's called Italian something like a slang kids are using now from an Italian song like fettuccine set the dini that. The. It's Italian something. I forget the. I gotta. I got it. One second.

[Pete Corrieli]

Why is it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's not. It's not anything to do with the soccer team. It's what kids are doing now. Hold on. My sister will know. Let me text her. All right, Let me text her. What's the Italian slang?

[Pete Corrieli]

Still think you're being a little hard on. On the whole situation?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, it's. Parents like you is why. It's why we're failing as a country.

[Pete Corrieli]

No, no, no, I don't. I also didn't like the you sitting alone.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, this is it. Italian brain rot. That's what it's called. Okay, Italian brain rot.

[Pete Corrieli]

Failing as a country.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What the hell's the name of this song? That's the name of the team. The name of the soccer team is Tralala Laro. Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

Right. Oh, like other teams named the Dolphins or something. Like that other team's name that we.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just played called the Bruisers. We're TRA la Laro. So I asked Caruso.

[Pete Corrieli]

I go.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Where'd you come up with the name? There was a vote between the kids. Trala Lairo or the Lightning. The Trala Lairo won out 8 to 7. Now my kid voted for the Lightning.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Tralalalero. Tralala. That's the name of it. TRA la la la la. That's the name of my kids soccer team. Wow. Okay, no one even knows the name. You can't even. How do you even say go? You could go Lightning, right? How do you say go? Tralala Lara Tralala. What? Now I'm upset that the coaches didn't nip this in the bud. Going now in. Yeah, that's not even coming up for a vote. You pick a name like Lightning or Cruisers or Killers or gorillas. Whatever it is, we don't go TRA la la.

[Pete Corrieli]

TRA la la.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Man, come on. This Is this is.

[Pete Corrieli]

Listen, let the kids decide. That's the. It's a very progressive California. Aren't we all winning? We're out here. We're exercising with the Trala la Ros. It's beautiful out. You're too. Listen man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, so let me tell you why. This is why bully happen. Bullies are created from this type of situation. Now we get our ass clean. 10 to 3, 3 goals though.

[Pete Corrieli]

All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

At the end of the other team was bored. They're bored.

[Pete Corrieli]

Parents are like, let him, let him get a few.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The coach asks our coach what's the team's name? And our coach kind of reluctantly goes, TRA la la la la. And the coach goes like what? This is like an Armenian guy, right? He's like the TRA la la la la. And he's like, all right. So they go back and getting. This is after the game, the other team goes back and they go 1, 2, 3, 4, who do we appreciate? Tralala la la la. And they all start laughing. They start laughing.

[Pete Corrieli]

O. Not good man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right. Our team does the same thing and this is what we hear on our side. 1, 2, 3, 4. Who do we appreciate? Bruisers. Bruisers. Yay, Bruisers. Now the parent from the other team who looks like a Marine goes, wow, they got a lot of excitement on that side, huh? That just says it kind of out loud, right? And I go, I know it's embarrassing. I'm. I'm agreeing with the other side. I'm. I'm going to go to the coach and go, how does my son get on your team? I want to trade. He's just saying my team the go Bruce. The way they said gratitude to the other team. We was weak just like the name TRA la la. Everything was going.

[Pete Corrieli]

Your kids team's gratitude to them like was weak. Well then why wouldn't see. Why wouldn't you say as a parent. Well then maybe if your kids could pronounce it right they'd show some more respect for your dumb bruisers. Did you think maybe they.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I was with the bruisers. I was laughing too. I was laughing at my team. Oh, what a mess, bro. What a. Holy shit. Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So now we all get in the circle. Now this, this is, this goes along with the name. At the end of the game, they're passing out Fruit roll ups, Oreo cookies and Gatorade, right? The other team's passing out protein Shakespeare know.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like health. This is sports. We got Oreo cookies on our side, so. Oh man, they're like, okay, you know, I want to. I want to recognize three players today. We did a great job. I'm sitting there. Great job. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me right now? I want to recognize Joseph because he ran down a ball that was going out of bounds. Here's your sticker. Okay, here we go. We're setting it up already six, seven years old, you get something for nothing.

[Pete Corrieli]

They kept the ball from going out of bounds. It was a big play.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I'm surprised, bro.

[Pete Corrieli]

I'm just trying to show you maybe the other side to it. So did you. Did your son get a sticker out of this at least?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No. No. Well, it's fine. He didn't deserve a sticker. They lost. No, they lost. So my kid comes up to me even before I even got there. He goes, dad, they're handing out Oreo cookies, fruit rolls, and Gatorade. It's garbage. I'm not having any of it. That's what my son tells me, right?

[Pete Corrieli]

I love it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I love it. You know why he tell me that? Because I told him that's garbage food last year, and now he doesn't partake in it.

[Pete Corrieli]

Beautiful.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

Beautiful.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now I take my son to the other side of the field and I go, put your bag down. We're gonna work out some drills. Here I go. You gotta be able to be ambidextrous. You gotta use both feet, right and left. I said, I noticed when you're on the left side, you're shifting your entire body to the right to kick it. Righty. By the time you do that, they're gonna snake it from you. You're done. All right? You gotta have your left foot available. So we start working on the left foot, right? And to kick with the left foot, he looks terrible. You know, it's like, you need practice. So as I'm doing this, two other kids from my team come over, and I'm upset. I'm upset. I'm having a moment here with my son. I'm trying to teach him. And then the two kids come in. What are you doing? I said, we're doing left foot drills. Oh, I'm good with my left foot. Right away, the kid says, he's good with his left foot.

[Pete Corrieli]

All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He does it and he sucks. I said, that's not good. I said, I thought you said you were good at the left foot. He goes, I am. I go, that was weak. It was just like Caruso. Same thing. You need practice. Stunned, bro. The kid was stunned. He never heard this Shit before. Because at the house, he's bowed to by the parents. You are great. You are fantastic. You do nothing wrong. Not in my house. Not in my house.

[Pete Corrieli]

Love it. Love it. I love that you're doing drills after the game, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

30 minutes we stood there, and then I told him, we're gonna go to the car. But what I want you to do is take the ball and dribble to the car on the sidewalk and use both of your feet. And if it goes in the grass on either side, I want you to drop and give me five pushups. This is on the way to the car.

[Pete Corrieli]

I love it. Holy shit. This is Parenting 101 listeners out there. Take this in, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now, my kid goes, daddy, I want you to coach the team. Why don't you coach? And it's hard to tell him. It's hard to coach from Atlantic City on a zoom. I'm gonna have my wife with the FaceTime video going, come on, guys from a casino, right? So I'm at a. I'm at a crossroads here, man, and I need your help. I want to coach the team. Maybe next year. Not this year. I can't take over. I mean, I can't come in the middle of the season and start cleaning house with the coaches. And if the coaches are listening to this. No disrespect to you guys. It's just. It's an age thing. These guys are in their 30s. They don't know. Right. I'm a seasoned veteran at 52. I grew up in the 80s with a father who was disappointed in me constantly.

[Pete Corrieli]

Ain't that the truth? That's your whole first three specials.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right? I came home from my soccer games with my father shaking his head in the car. You ever get in the car with your father after a game? I don't know if you dealt with this in basketball, but I did this constantly in high school. He would come to the game, and we get in the car, and it was silent. And he just. You sit there and just look out the window and just shake his head. And then he'd look at me every once in a while. Hey. And I would sit there and I go, what'd you think? What do you think? He goes, you're tired. You're tired. Because what I used to do is I used to sprint on the field, and I used to be out of breath, and I used to put my hands on my knees and kind of try and catch my breath. He goes, catching your breath because you. Because you ran down the field. Once, and you're tired. He goes, you 15 years old, you don't even know what tired is yet. Hey, this is what this is. This is it. This is on the way home. I didn't know. Oreo, cookie? No, nothing. Just had to sit there and take this. Like a man, right?

[Pete Corrieli]

But he's equating tired to, like, a guy working six days a week, 14 hour shifts.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's like, you don't know? I said, I've been on my feet all day long for 15 hours, and then I come here to see your game, and that's what you give me. Oh, man. So.

[Pete Corrieli]

But did you. Did you feel like you were doing your best? Did you feel what he was saying was he was right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Corrieli]

Really?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, as a kid, you don't want to, like, believe it. You don't want to, like, buy into it. Like, you know, I would go, what? Did you see the. The. The shot I did with the. On the run, you guys? Yeah, but then go in, you know, like, there was things that I did that were good, but overall, I could have done better.

[Pete Corrieli]

That's why I got it, though.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's why he hired a soccer coach from Germany in the summer to train me. Failing algebra? No. Tutor German. Soccer.

[Pete Corrieli]

Holy shit, man. Is this because the culture in Italy, they love soccer so much and they're passionate about it, that, like, if it was. If it was baseball, would he have got you a baseball coach or.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, he would have never showed up to a game if it was baseball. He couldn't stand baseball. Fuck him, boy. Fucking baseball. You think that's boring? This is the game. He was a goalie in Italy, and his parents didn't want him playing soccer because they thought he was gonna get hurt. So what he would have to do was bring a change of clothes and come home in normal clothes because he sweat through the other. Because if he came home sweating, his mother would have said, where the hell were you? And then he had a man playing soccer, and that was forbidden. They didn't want him playing soccer. Cause they thought he was gonna get hurt. They thought he was gonna get hurt and couldn't work for the family?

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, man. That's right. So what about, like, the World cup, then? Does your father really love to watch that stuff when it comes around every four years and.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, he's into the World Cup. He's into the World Cup. It's cultural. The holidays have arrived at the Home Depot, and we're here to help bring the Excitement with decor for every part of your home.

[Pete Corrieli]

Learn [e-mail] but my whole thing here is I want to be the coach, but I'm afraid if I am the coach, there could be multiple lawsuits.

[Pete Corrieli]

Well, I mean, physically.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How dare you talk to my kid that way?

[Pete Corrieli]

You can't get sued for anything you say to a kid. I could go up to a kid.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No other kids.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah, I know, but like, can I go up to any kid and say, you're so ugly, why'd you even get out of bed, you little.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, what I'm saying is. I'm being. I'm kidding. But what I'm saying is the parents are going to go, this guy's out of his mind.

[Pete Corrieli]

Not if you're winning. Not if you win.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Not if the whole team's on the bench. Yeah, well, get out. Get out. What are you doing? Get out. There's one kid I would. He wouldn't see the light of day if I was the coach. Get on. You're not getting in until I see some effort.

[Pete Corrieli]

All right? I don't think you should be coaching until Caruso's like 10. I think by. By then, you know, you'll. You'll like. What is that? That's like four or five years away. You're going to want to take some time off the road. The kids will be a little older now where you can actually speak the way you want to speak. You can't decide who plays. Every parent paid money. It's not up for you to decide. And if I want to play and pretend I'm a unicorn while I'm playing, I'm going to do that, too, because it's California and I'm fucking eight. Guy. Wake up. Jesus. What do you think this is? You're not Newt Rockne. Not yet. What a reference. Wow. I don't Know where that came from?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Listen, you go to Texas, they. They ain't playing this game.

[Pete Corrieli]

Go to Texas.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I tried.

[Pete Corrieli]

But, you know. Yeah, I think it's. I think it's a little too soon for that. I mean, focus on Caruso. I hear that, but has Caruso's grandfather seen him play yet? And what was his take if he has? On the whole. Not your son's play, but the scenario.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Two years ago, he saw it was like four, which. It was embarrassing. I mean, it was four years old. If he came now and he heard the name TRA la la and he saw the stickers and the Oreo cookies and this, that and the other thing, he'd be telling me, you should be embarrassed. You should be embarrassed of yourself to let your kid in this shit.

[Pete Corrieli]

If you're going to coach, what about making Lana the assistant? So if you're missing practice or you get. No, it's a good balance, bro. She'll tell you when you got to chill.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't want anybody editing my coaching abilities. I want to be. Listen.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want to be George Hallis.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, man. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I own the team and I coach the team. That's it.

[Pete Corrieli]

That's it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nobody tell me what to do.

[Pete Corrieli]

All right. You thinking about it, though? Seriously?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want to get involved some way shape or form with the soccer, and I want to start picking my assistant coaches. There's a kid on the. There's a kid that agrees with me. He's younger. I want to have him be the assistant. Just me and him run the show.

[Pete Corrieli]

Does Caruso seem to like soccer more than basketball or. You don't know yet?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a toss up. It's a toss up. He really likes football. After watching the football game. Oh, yeah. He's got. He's got. I'm telling you, he's got a tight spiral. He's got an arm.

[Pete Corrieli]

There you go, man. Name, too. Caruso Maniscalco. And.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

My wife was at the game. She came up to me and she just whispered in my ear, she goes, ice, I'm sorry to say this, but he is so good looking.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, she said that about Caruso? Did you say yeah? Oh, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

To which I said. To which I said, if he matches his skills with his good looks, this guy could be a brand. He could be doing brand endorsements by the age of 10.

[Pete Corrieli]

There's only one name that comes off that rolls off the tongue. Garoppolo. Remember when Jimmy Garoppolo hit the scene?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Explain. Stunning.

[Pete Corrieli]

Explain. The guy was an unbelievable quarterback. And my own father's first words, the guy threw for 350 yards. And my father goes, jesus, he's good looking. He just drove it 350 yards. And that's not even the first thing you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Josh Allen is, is practically Superman. And, and even when he does a Gatorade commercial, they just flash cut to him and don't say anything. Just sip it and get the on. Like, I mean, I love Josh Allen, but you know, he ain't breaking hearts.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I hear, you know, he's like.

[Pete Corrieli]

He'S a, it's a good looking guy. He's just got no charisma. Like the whole Garoppolo had the whole package, man. You know what I'm saying?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think Garoppolo capitalized on his good looks in, in, in the business world. I don't think he was an endorser of many things. I mean, if we're talking good looks, you got to go. Cristiano, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tom Brady.

[Pete Corrieli]

Those are the two guys, by the way. Did you see. Yeah, but I'm talking about. I think Garoppolo tried to downplay it. I don't think he wanted to be more known for his quarterbacking skills. And he knew when he took his helmet off that every woman in the place was gushing, you know what I'm saying? Go out and do a cologne commercial. I don't have to do any of that. I'm just, I want to focus on. That's, that's what I got out of that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know.

[Pete Corrieli]

I will say this about your son. Every single time I see a photo of me or my wife, one of us says first to the other one. God damn's a good looking kid. Good looking kid, man. Wow. Now go ahead.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know, I'm just, I'm just trying to like. Do you really want to capitalize on that with, you know, because there's some people like, oh, they like pawn, pawn the kid off for money, you know what I'm saying? Because they want money so they'll have the kid make money so they could live a lifestyle. I'm not into that.

[Pete Corrieli]

I don't want so many. I feel like so many quarterbacks have been handsome. Remember Cam Newton when he was the MVP back? Like the guy could have turned around, did a catwalk.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

My man, Cam Newton. Get Cam Newton up here. Cam Newton. That's who you're going to for.

[Pete Corrieli]

I, I mean, you could just.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What okay, get images. Throw the images.

[Pete Corrieli]

Get me. Get Cam Newton up there. This guy could.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right there with the hair. No, this the second one. Yeah, bro.

[Pete Corrieli]

Well, we want a bad one.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Let's see. I'm just gonna upload the hair.

[Pete Corrieli]

The guy was like. Nah, I disagree. I think he was. Oh, well, yeah, look at the face, though. Take the.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Look at that.

[Pete Corrieli]

Take the hair away. And right there, that's. That's a. That's a billboard. Guess model right there. Look at the jawline. I'm just saying. I'm telling you, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Bro.

[Pete Corrieli]

No, no, I mean.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, he's a decent looking guy. This guy's not a matinee idol.

[Pete Corrieli]

What's a matinee? What's a matinee idol? But before you answer that, I want to remember to remind you, have you seen the video with Lionel Messi's bodyguard?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, my God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That was the type of employee you want in every position. Not just security, but you want people to move that fast. If I could get the people that work for me to move the way Messi's security guard moves.

[Pete Corrieli]

Jesus.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sky's the limit.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah. That was incredible. Now, would you consider him a matinee idol?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No.

[Pete Corrieli]

I can't picture with you looks.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No. So listen, that's the scenario with soccer over here. All right?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And I gotta figure out how I inject myself in a positive way to bringing up today's youth with some grit and a winning mentality, rather than handing out Oreo cookies and Snickers for nothing.

[Pete Corrieli]

[Pete Corrieli]

The Pete Corrielli, as I was saying, comedy tour kicks off in mid October. It's going everywhere. So go to petecorieli.com and you can get tickets. And I hope to see you out there, man, I really do. It's going to be fun. Back to the cast. Do you think you could coach a team? Like, do you like, right away? Day one, they come, they're all gathered round, you give that little speech and then you start drills like you know what to do.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I would have to go to YouTube to find some.

[Pete Corrieli]

I you like one generation off the boat from Italy and you're going to YouTube for soccer drills. Oh, well, for this age, you go there for a pasta recipe too.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, I go to YouTube for everything. We just talked the last cast about not knowing anything and not knowing directions, not going, so what's the difference? And not knowing drills for a six year old. You go to YouTube and go, okay, this is what we're going to do.

[Pete Corrieli]

Today because, because what are you seeing that's, that's making you so upset if you don't even already know in your head? Like, like for me, when I watch college kids play Division 3 basketball, specifically, I would always think, why bother learning how to dribble or anything else when none of you can even shoot? So if I was the coach, the first thing I'd have them do is just shoot for like an hour and a half. Shoot, shoot, shoot. You don't even have a. Yeah, so what's the plan? What's the problem and what's the solution?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do you know how to teach a kid the proper way to shoot a basketball?

[Pete Corrieli]

No. I mean, I know proper form, but YouTube? No, I know the proper form. I'm just saying, what's the, what's the proper form?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How would you walk somebody through? What's this hand right away? I don't know. Is this in front of the face?

[Pete Corrieli]

First of all, elbow in direct. You want to have a 90 degree angle on your elbow, okay? The ball is sitting on your fingertips. This hand is just a guy. Really nothing. You don't even need it. You can see Steph Curry pull it away and then you follow through as if you're dipping your finger in to the rim, into the rim. And I just want you guys to do this for an hour and 10 minutes because if you can't get the goddamn ball in the basket, it doesn't matter what we do it. Right. I feel you're trying To. You want to raise them. It sounds like you don't want to coach them. You want to raise them. That's that. You don't get to do that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, you're right. You're right. What I want to do is instill a mentality that they don't have right at home. So the mentality is half of what I'm trying to teach. The mentality is you come out here and you play like a wolf. You don't stop. You don't look at the clouds and whatnot. You hone in, all right? You tuck your shirt in. Tuck your shirt in first. I teach them all how to dress.

[Pete Corrieli]

But so many people flock to California to not confine themselves to tucking their shirt in. I want to look up at the flowers and all the beautiful birds. That's what California's all. California. California. You're in the wrong place, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're. And that's why the state is failing. I want to start. I want to start with the youth soccer. Then I want to become the governor.

[Pete Corrieli]

There you go, too, funny, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I talked to JJ on the phone.

[Pete Corrieli]

Nice.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Which I haven't done in a while. I left a message for jj. This is what I'm doing. Recently, I'm leaving voicemails. Never used to do this. You call somebody, you get the voicemail, you hang up, Right?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Although you leave pretty long voicemails. At least with me, a minute and 34 seconds, you'll knock off one. But what I'm doing is I'm calling people. I generally don't call, and I'm leaving voicemails. And in the voicemail, I'm telling them, the art of leaving a voicemail has gone by the wayside. It used to be a thing to leave a message for somebody. So I told him on the voicemail, hey, man, I know you probably don't get a lot of voicemails, but I'm going to leave you a beautiful one right now that I'm goofing around. I never got a call back. So I text him. I go, you get my voicemail? He goes, no. I said, I sent it three days ago, but I sent it from a number that he's unfamiliar with. He goes, bro, I don't play my voicemails, especially from numbers I don't even know. So, no, I didn't play it. And by the way, when I. When I called him, he said that he was in a hotel gym in New York City working out with his shirt off. I go, wow. And he goes, he was ready at any moment, just in case somebody worked, walked in to put it back on again. But that's an aggressive move. I don't even think you've done that. Have you done that?

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, my God, no. I thought you were going to tell me. He reserved the whole gym.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's like. That's like white trash.

[Pete Corrieli]

It is a little bit like, that's a. You know. And if you're the guy coming in, you're going, oh, God, look at this guy. Quick putting his shirt on. I interrupted his shirtless.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I remember, and I. God, I wish we could play it. I don't know, bro. I don't even know if you remember this. It was one of the funniest videos you've ever sent me in my entire life. Do you remember cussing out somebody in a hotel gym? Do you remember this? No. I'm excited, though. You cuss somebody out in a hotel gym and you recorded it. Cause they had their shoes off. Do you remember that?

[Pete Corrieli]

Barefoot. Yeah, barefoot, right? I remember that. Just barefoot.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Hold on, bro. If I have this still. Because I recently watched it and I don't know where the hell I picked it from, but I'm like, oh, my God, this is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen from Pete. If I have it, can we play it here on the cast?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah, of course I remember that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God, bro, I. So funny.

[Pete Corrieli]

What I do is I. I send you. I record, and then when I like it, I attach it to an email. So I've done. When I leave you messages, I've, like, erased and restarted, like, to get them entertaining and good. And then they come through as a text that you play. Because I know no one listens to voicemail anymore.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I understand. But, bro, if I. If. Oh, God, I don't have it. It's like somewhere in my. I'll find it.

[Pete Corrieli]

I'll find it. And the other thing is, Watt had texted me. He goes, I look forward to a tour at a new house. You know, like a video tour. Now he's coming out to the Rock, and I needed to hear that because it negated that you don't like a tour. And I gotta tell you, I'm getting. I don't know if I'm getting more influenced by you or what's going on, but I gotta tell you, man, I'm doing cologne every night before bed for like, a week and a half now. My family loves it. They definitely have preferences, but Sadie hugs me and goes, oh, you smell good again, dad. Last night, Jackie Said, a little too strong tonight, guy. And I go. I was on the couch. I just showered. I go, yeah, but by bed. It'll be nice. It'll be nice. And I'm doing. I'm back. I'm trying. I'm trying whiskey again, man. I'm trying whiskey. We went out. This is for the listeners. This is even for Sebastian.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow.

[Pete Corrieli]

We went to Milos, right? I don't even know if you were ever at that one before, but it's downtown in New York City. Greek restaurant that Sebastian loves.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. We didn't talk about Chris Mazilli loves.

[Pete Corrieli]

No. And we went up to the bar and Sebastian got a. It was just him and I. We got there waiting for Chris Missouli. We got there a little early. Place was quiet. And you ordered a Manhattan and I ordered a beer. And I felt like I would just finish working on a car. Like, there's just. There's just certain places of beer is not working anymore, and I got to drink too many of them. Like, if I wanted to get, like a tight little. So I think. I think a man reaches an age where he has to pick a liquor, he has to pick a drink, a hard drink, if he's a drinker at all, and just listen one. Just a little nip here and there. You don't got to knock back 10 and have a hangover. But instead of like two or three beers, maybe it's just a shot of whiskey and a nice neat glass just wetting the lips with water backing it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, but you tried that. You tried.

[Pete Corrieli]

I know, but I. I found the coffee whiskey I told you that I like. So my problem is I got to find a whiskey that is going to be at every bar that I like. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What about a Macallan? Have you tried?

[Pete Corrieli]

I haven't tried it. Now, Sinatra. I mean, this guy loved. It's incredible. When I read about it, he loved Jack Daniels. He loved to shit. He was buried with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a pack of Camels. Buried. I mean, that's crazy what you take.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

On being buried with shit.

[Pete Corrieli]

I don't think that's good. I think that's tacky, right? I mean, even if, like, I die, as I tell Jackie, if I did, I'm getting cremated. But if somebody threw something in there, like, you know, I could get that out, get the thing out of the casket that threw it and get the person who threw it in the out. It's like throwing something on the baseball field, you know? What? I'm.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I agree. I agree. I'm not into getting buried with items.

[Pete Corrieli]

No, but what if your sister put something in with your mom or dad? You can't veto that. That's a sibling. She has a right to. She throws a pair of. Pair of scissors in.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No. I take her aside and I go, what are you doing? Get the scissors out of the casket.

[Pete Corrieli]

They were dad's favorite scissors. Those scissors put me and you through college. Okay? And I want to remember dad by putting him. It's not your call.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, I'm sorry, bro. It is my call. There's no way. I'm just looking for this video. There is no way anybody's throwing anything in my casket.

[Pete Corrieli]

Well, if you pass away before me, I'm gonna go up, lightly, cry, and then I'm gonna place a microphone right on this. Right here on your chest. Just place a microphone.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you go up to a casket, you're saying your final goodbyes, and you see something in the. In the casket. Let's say you go to a funeral, right?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Say it's your uncle, God forbid. And you go and you're waiting to see him, right? And you go up to the casket. The sign of the cross, you kneel down. And then in the casket, you see a. A Bic pen on his chest, right? Do you go and take it off, put in your pocket and walk away? What's your take on somebody dropping something in, but then somebody taking something out, right?

[Pete Corrieli]

No, that's. That's a. I. I would. I don't know. I have to go to the. The undertaker. What do they call the guy who owns the place?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Undertaker?

[Pete Corrieli]

And be like, is the pen. Did he want to be buried with that? What's that about? And then, like, find out if it was placed in there. I mean, I. I don't want. What if. What if he was an architect and it was his favorite pen?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't care what it is he.

[Pete Corrieli]

Wants to be buried with. It might be something he requested to be buried with. You know, the other thing, too, is sports paraphernalia. Like your Buffalo Bills jersey.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nah, that's. That's. Come on. Anything sports related when you're alive bothers me. Like.

[Pete Corrieli]

I know. That's why I said it to you. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you have anything sports related, memorabilia, anything. Oh, this is my signed Brett Favre jersey. I wear every Sunday here in the ground.

[Pete Corrieli]

What? God forbid, right? We were to pass away. Who. Who's dressing you? And what do you like? Do you even like. We always talk about where we want to be buried and stuff, but we never talk about what we want to be buried in.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Suit, black suit, white shirt, black tie. That's a standard issued uniform that you should be buried in. I don't want to hear he wanted to be buried in his Halloween costume he wore every year. I'm sorry, I can't take that serious. I cannot go to a funeral and look at a dead body and go, he's dressed as a clown. I can't do it, bro. Do you know just sidestep here around what year? Because I got text from you from 2021. Do you think you could give me a year on when you think you took that video.

[Pete Corrieli]

Man? Maybe 17. Maybe.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

17 that far?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah, I think so. I think so.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The reason I'm spending so much time looking at it is because it was so aggressive. It was so aggressive that I was shocked that anybody could talk to somebody like that and record it.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corrieli]

My father in law brought one up the other day. Everyone seems to have one about me. Like, he goes, when I was living in New York, in LA for that short period of time, we were walking to Runyon Canyon, me and my father in law, and there was an LA guy with his dog taking a dump right next to a sign that said, no dogs dumping, you know? And I just went, I don't, I don't live there. Has nothing to do with me but just the balls of people, man. And I laid into this dude like you can't even imagine.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying. It's like, God damn, man, this guy's got some balls.

[Pete Corrieli]

In the meantime, Patrick, if you can hear this, bro, come on. No way.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I, I, this is worth it. This is fucking. I'm sending it to Patrick.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So set this up for us. Do you know where this was or what was going on at the time?

[Pete Corrieli]

I can picture the hotel, but I don't remember what city it was, but it was one of them. It was playing a comedy club in a mall somewhere. And I was at the hotel and it was, I think it was two guys, and one of them was barefoot. And I went off on him because I remember later on they accused me only going off on them because. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Crank up the volume here because it might need it. All right, this is Pete Corieli at a gym, working out in a hotel, and someone's bothering him at the gym. So that's the setup here. So let's play it videotape it.

[Pete Corrieli]

You got your foot, your bare foot on the bench that other people, people got to work out on. You don't think that's disgusting and embarrassing?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just in the pool. So you were in the pool where you swim with no clothes.

[Pete Corrieli]

I get it. Now you're in a gym where you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Put on shoes and.

[Pete Corrieli]

I don't have.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

To ask you, you're a grown man, you should know.

[Pete Corrieli]

Hey, man, I should probably go put on some shoes, cuz I'm a grown man. I didn't realize. Realize I had to tell you that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That was nothing.

[Pete Corrieli]

That was nothing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What do you mean that was nothing? I'm with you. I think that's disgusting, right? But you act like that's nothing. The, the kid didn't even know how to process what you were saying because of multiple reasons. A, he never even thought of that. He never even thought it. That's not even in his head. Like working out barefoot. Why not? Right? So he's got to like, take that in, right? Then number two, he's got to take in a complete stranger on an elliptical is telling me to put my shoes on like I'm a child. Right? Number three, he's also, as he's taking all this in, in the back of his head, he's got to go, am I being filmed?

[Pete Corrieli]

Then he even thinks he's going to get out of it when I was in the pool. And now you're not. And now you're not. If you don't call these people on this shit, it never stops. You know, that's the kind of stuff.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But my question to you is, do you think the next. First of all, he didn't go for his shoes. He continued his workout, right?

[Pete Corrieli]

It's not like they do it all the time. But the next time, there won't be a next time. He's gonna be stubborn right there with me, but he'll be shooing it up in the morning.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm wondering. Do you think what you're doing has a lasting effect on people? Where they go, where he's going into the gym the next time, shoeless and sockless, and he goes, oh, God, I remember that guy in Indianapolis told me to put some shoes on. He was right. Or do you think it's just that guy right now is in another gym barefoot?

[Pete Corrieli]

I don't know. I like to think it does matter and that if enough people do it, it'll hit home. But at the very least, in that moment, it's making him as uncomfortable as he's making me. You know what I'm saying?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now, was there someone. Oh, there's a guy behind you working out, right? There's someone else in the gym.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is that guy associated with the guy that's barefoot, or is that just another guy getting a workout in before his business meeting? Because he looks over at you going, is this guy. Is this guy serious? Like.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do you remember turning to that guy after all this going, or.

[Pete Corrieli]

No, that guy. I remember him. Let me see if I can see him. They came kind of.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Kind of scroll, and you see him in the back, right? In the beginning, you see him. So go all the way to the beginning. There he is. This guy.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah. No, he's. He's just a random dude.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. This guy.

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Because look at this face. He's stunned. This guy's stud, bro. What the hell is going on?

[Pete Corrieli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This guy's thinking, am I next?

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, no.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Look at that guy.

[Pete Corrieli]

He's saying, there he is. There's that Foo Fighter song. There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes boom. That's what he's thinking. There's the man I want to be. That's what he was thinking. By the way, if I walked in the gym and that was everything I saw, was Watt not famous, but just Watt, his size and stuff. Wouldn't have said a word. Okay. I would have went up and held his foot for him if he needed me to. If the mat too cold, you want me to hold it for you? So there is that. There is that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know, I think that guy. What he was doing in that moment was he was scanning himself going, is there anything that I'm doing that could set this maniac off on me? No.

[Pete Corrieli]

I don't know. I felt like maybe he was thinking I was thinking that, too. I wouldn't have said anything, but I was thinking that, too.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That. That's gross.

[Pete Corrieli]

I think they're. The dude with the bare foot could probably have beaten me up. He looked very like. Probably knows Taekwondo and just, you know. But, you know, when you. It's when you call, when you're saying to somebody, it's all in what you say, man. And when I'm saying, you're a grown man, that's like, that's not an insult. But it is. I'm like, you're a grown man, and you're barefoot on a thing of people.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, a grown man. If you say to someone, you're a grown man. Again, to your point from the last podcast, when you take a deep breath, it's never positive what comes out after. Anytime you're telling somebody you're a grown man, it's never, you're a grown man and you got a great job. Right? It's always, you're a grown man, but you're a slob. You know what I'm saying?

[Pete Corrieli]

Like, there's always a. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Well, listen, before I forget though, speaking of a grown man, I need to know what you would have done with your family. I forgot to show you this. Patrick, do you have that sign from that beach that I had sent a couple weeks ago? It was a photo of a sign. If you don't, you could just put in Nauset Beach, Cape Cod sign, shark sign. You got it. You got to see this, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know, could you make it bigger? Like, make it bigger so I could see it?

[Pete Corrieli]

That's the exact sign when you walk up.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay.

[Pete Corrieli]

So, yeah, and that sign, I don't know if you can read it, but.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It tells you I'm going to read it. Warning. Great white sharks hunt seals in shallow water at this beach. People have been seriously injured and killed by white sharks along this coastline. Know your wrist when entering the water. Okay, I have thoughts, but go ahead. What's, what's your take?

[Pete Corrieli]

So, okay, so then we're like, what the hell do we go? Do we not go? So we're like, well, we're here, we're going to go. I mean, obviously everyone. There's other people going. And I really felt like it was peer pressure, man, because I was like, this is, this would normally make me leave. But then we get to the beach, right? And you see the seals swim by. Like every once in a while a seal goes by and then. And the waves were gigantic. The biggest waves I've ever seen. So Sadie and I were up to our ankles. We were freaking out. We were. And not a lot of people were going out far. And then eventually a lifeguard, me and Jackie and Sadie went for a walk and it was like adult lifeguards. This isn't even like 18 year old kids home from college. These are adults and we're talking to the guy. And oh, by the way, about 20 minutes earlier, Jackie and people to our right and left go, oh my God. Did you see it? Did you see it? They all. And I saw it, but I wasn't quite sure if it was a shark or a seal under the wave went flying across and Jackie, to this day, she's like, it was definitely a shark. So about 20 minutes later, we'll walk in. And we're talking. We come to the lifeguard stand and we're talking to the guy and we go. So he goes, I've been here eight years. Have you ever seen a shark attack? I have, unfortunately. It's horrible. Have you ever seen them attack seals? And he goes all the time. And it's. He goes, it's awesome because it's nature, but it's also hard to watch. And the. All the water gets red and a lot of people leave because they just don't want to see it. He goes, but if you see the purple flags come up, that means it was a shark sighting. And Jackie goes, I think I saw one just before. And the guy goes, some of the lifeguards think that might have been too, but we're not sure. So when we're not sure, like, you can't just every shadow say, there's a. But I'm taking all this in. And I'm like, what. What are any of us doing here? Like, you know, it's like. And it's not even warm. It's freezing water, but. And that was it. We didn't go in past our ankles. And there was a few people that went way out, and they're just floating around out there. And I just don't understand how. You cannot be freaking out, man. So would you go in?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, a couple things. Can you take what we're looking at? Blow it up so it's the entire screen. Like, just zoom in on this sign and the thing here. So this is where I turn to my wife and say, let's go for a bike ride. Okay. This is when you see a sign, for those of you who are listening, it says, severe bleeding, first aid. And there is a box that they give you if somebody is severely bleeding. Now, there was a meeting that the park district or the city had to have for this to happen. Like, they're going, listen, these sharks, it's getting out of hand. Is there something we could do? And then one guy said, you know what? We could put a severe bleeding first aid kit there.

[Pete Corrieli]

Just.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just so they have it when it happens. All right, now, yeah.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, my God. At first, bro, I don't think I saw that when I was there. I saw the sign, but I didn't notice the orange box. But I got tourniquets in there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying. Like, how do you not know? This is the problem with you. Sometimes you don't take it in. Take it in, man. You saw the shark, and that was it you got to go beneath and start looking at what they're providing you, man.

[Pete Corrieli]

You would have been a great detective, dude. Even the way you saw the face on the video. You catch everything.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Move over and then go to the other side. 911 emergency full. So here's another meeting. Did they put the phone in for the sharks or was the phone in the food court? And they said, you know what? Make a sign that tells them that there's a phone in the food court if they need. There's so many things telling you, just don't bother.

[Pete Corrieli]

Don't bother. Yeah, I think that sign, I think the food court phone line is shark bite only. Like when that rings, they know somebody got bit. It's like the bat phone, but it's the shock phone. I swear to God. Look at that shit. I mean, that's killing business. Look at that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That whole thing, that whole setup there. And then I like how they just put in the. No bikes on the beach. Like it has nothing to do. Everything's 911 kill bleed. And all of a sudden no bikes on beach Memorial Day. No bikes. Fuck that. Listen, we're not even bringing our towels, let alone a bike.

[Pete Corrieli]

People are going to be running out of the water bleeding to death, and we don't want them tripping over huffy bikes, okay? So get them the hell out of there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Another thing they put on this damn sign is the graph. Now they did a peak activity graph to tell you, listen, I don't know what month is the highest there? It looks like it.

[Pete Corrieli]

October, September. October. Okay, October.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You don't even want to be near this beach. When were you there? What month?

[Pete Corrieli]

We were there in August. They go, so the water's still a little on the warmer side, right? So I think they like it colder. And that's when. Okay, so I think that's.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

October is the third worst month for shark attacks there.

[Pete Corrieli]

Oh, all right. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I don't even know what anybody's even going to this speech. The next step is them to build a brick wall there, right there by the entrance and say closed. Right there. Gonna build a wall and go closed. Too many killings. Goodbye.

[Pete Corrieli]

People have died. They've died from shark attacks at this beach.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know why it's still open. I don't know why it's still open.

[Pete Corrieli]

It's crazy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, that's our time here at the Pete Sebastian show. Happy to be back up and running. Hope you enjoyed our discussion on soccer and shark attacks. You don't get this anywhere else all right, I'll see you this weekend. Take care, man.
