Main Discussion Topics & Key Segments

1. Social Media Woes & Hiatus Plans

Timestamps: 01:28–02:20, 06:00–07:38

• Pete considers quitting social media due to the negative feelings it brings ("If you had a meter and the meter is ten positive, ten negative after coming off social media, are you positively affected or negatively affected?").
• Sebastian laments never feeling better after scrolling, instead comparing the emotional impact unfavorably to real-life interactions and meaningful reading.
• Both reflect on how the algorithm seems to feed them stuff they didn’t ask for, prompting consideration of a digital detox.

2. The Evolution of NFL Kickers

Timestamps: 07:38–12:14, 43:51–52:20

• Pete voices amazement at how field goal distances have ballooned:
  “When did a 70-yarder become a chip shot? What the fuck is going on with these kickers?”
• Nostalgia for the ‘80s and ‘90s: kickers were less athletic, sometimes barefoot, and long-range kicks were rare and dramatic.
• J.J. Watt (after calling in) explains how specialized kicker training, changes in ball preparation rules, and advances in equipment have transformed the kicking game. Kickers now ‘doctor’ their own footballs to suit their preferences, resulting in longer and more accurate kicks.

3. Real Estate Agents Have Changed!

Timestamps: 15:27–26:55

• Pete skewers the modern, glamorized real estate industry:
  “Now they got a girl spread eagle on a kitchen countertop… Are we selling a house or is this a Playboy shoot?”
• Sebastian jokes: “Attractive real estate agent—the house is nicer… But generally speaking, these model types, men and women, they don’t know nothing about the house.”
• Laments about “Scorsese-level” video tours, drones, and advertising over substance, versus the old-school approach where agents actually knew details and gave personal tours.

4. Moving Stories, New Houses, & The Value of Stuff

Timestamps: 26:55–34:18, 32:06–34:58

• Pete describes his recent move and sentimental feelings about leaving Fredonia, but finds himself quickly adapting and loving the new home.
• Discussion of what’s worth keeping and moving—highlighted by Pete hauling a mini-fridge and a 1941 war vehicle—despite Sebastian’s protests (“We could have left the fridge and I feel new. I feel how. Listen, I feel new house, new things!”).
• Reflects on the working-class mentality: wringing value from every item and the humility of showing the unglamorous parts of their lives on social media.

5. J.J. Watt Joins the Show: The Eyewear Roast & NFL Insider Talk

Timestamps: 33:30, 38:29–54:30

• Eyewear Roast:
  • Pete and Sebastian mercilessly tease J.J. about his new on-air glasses (“Looks like he just finished weed whacking…It’s a windshield from a Datsun.” – Sebastian, 02:42).
  • J.J. fires back: “Pete looks like a skeleton. Do you eat food, bro?” (38:50)
  • The glasses prompt a discussion about the public’s reaction to changing looks post-NFL, with J.J. revealing his longer hair is an experiment now he’s out of a helmet.
• NFL Ball Science:
  • J.J. details how NFL teams now bring their own balls, work the leather to precise softness, and how “K balls” (for kicking) are specifically doctored to benefit kickers.
  • Surprising insight: long snappers can control the number of ball rotations so laces face the right way for the kicker—“How nuts is that?” (50:28, Watt).
  • Replay of Pete’s thesis: recruiting freakishly tall men just to block field goals, with J.J. pondering if that would work but noting kickers now launch the ball so high it’s almost impossible.
• Personal Insults & Jokes: The three riff on each other’s physiques, with Sebastian accused of “disintegrating,” and J.J. of losing his “Hulk” build:
  • J.J.: “If you take a tumble down the stairs, a hip is gone and you’re having one of those chairs that takes you up the stairs for the rest of your life.” (53:05)
  • Sebastian, on J.J.’s changing physique: “You’re kinda pedestrian now, you’re a little… gotta run his body.” (52:47)

6. Parenting, Names, and Middle Name Revelations

Timestamps: 55:48–60:16

• After J.J. signs off, Pete & Sebastian try and (fail) to recall his children’s names, prompting jokes about uncommon names and family traditions.
• A playful riff on the difference between “Tony” and “Anthony” as an Italian-American rite of passage (“You know who calls you Anthony? Your mother. Until you’re 18.” – Sebastian, 58:26).
• Both reveal their own middle names for the first time after 15 years of friendship, marveling at how little they actually know about each other despite their close professional relationship.

• Unfiltered Banter: Real friendship vibes shine as the recurring mockery and self-deprecation (“You don’t even eat food, bro!”) creates a genuinely warm, hilarious dynamic.

---

Tone & Style

• Conversational, Warm, and Rambunctiously Honest: Pete and Sebastian keep it loose and unscripted, with plenty of give-and-take, quick-witted ribbing, and honest reflections on everything from sports to family to the minutiae of daily life.

[Pete Corelli]

And Sebastian show with Pete Corelli and Sebastian Maniscalco. Here we are, Pete and Sebastian Show. Just going to start off with something that's kind of bothering me. I think I'm going to start like taking a hiatus from social media. Currently what's on my social media algorithm is a lot of cars. I've been looking at a lot of cars lately. Oh my God. Wait a minute. Sorry. Just, just in this, just in. Just got lots new eyewear up on the screen here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying now.

[Pete Corelli]

Pete brought this up. I didn't see, I didn't see it until just now. What should take bro, do we need to get him on the phone right now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Listen, I look at that and it looks like he just finished weed whacking. And, and he forgot he was wearing them. I mean they're safety goggles and it's, it's really vandalism because look at the hair, look at the face. It's a handsome man with a beautiful head of hair. And then you slap it on those. That it's a, it's a windshield from a Datsun. I don't even know what the fuck I'm looking at.

[Pete Corelli]

Bro. Bro, dare I say dare you say what?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Don't tell me you like them now.

[Pete Corelli]

No.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Dare I say.

[Pete Corelli]

He needs a haircut? I feel like the whole package is. What the heck is going on here, man? Bring it up, bring it up. Does he need a haircut?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, he's transitioning from athletic hairdo to TV personality hairdo. So you want to let it grow out a little longer. The part is like, it's a little. I, I don't want to overly dissect what. But I, I did. The glasses are just throwing me off of everything else, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

Well, listen, let's, let's get a. Let's get a. A watt split screen if we can.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We should get him right now on, on the call. Just be like, what is.

[Pete Corelli]

Can we pipe a call through here?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He's got to be taking heat because I think that's when I first saw him was somebody had a picture of him in those glasses next to somebody.

[Pete Corelli]

If you have time right now to hop on this zoom link, period, we are discussing your eyewear.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

One minute. Let's see what he's going in.

[Pete Corelli]

We'll see if he responds. So anyway, let's hold the Watt for now. Or do you want to sign in? Because I feel with this sign in thing, he's driving me up a fucking wall.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's literally 30 seconds once it goes next minute. Which would be what, your time? I don't know, but 25. Oh, there it is. Boom. Hold on, dude. Check it in, Jack. Oh. This flight is currently not ready for checking. Or is that the wrong one?

[Pete Corelli]

For those of you listening, Pete is checking into his flight on Southwest at 12:25. And the excitement I saw from Pete just now that there was a check in available was the most excited I've seen this man in the 15 years that I've known him. A check into Southwest would get this one.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm a 15, Jack.

[Pete Corelli]

He's a 15.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Guys practically right about. Practically. If you know anything about Southwest, I'm practically going on right after the pilot. I'm right behind him. All right. Any response from windshield wiper wearing guy? No, no.

[Pete Corelli]

He's probably. He's probably. You don't even want to get on and talk about it?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, not right.

[Pete Corelli]

So I was started to say when I. Yeah, then I'm going to get off Instagram and social media. Not posting, just looking at it. Because if you were to say if you had a meter and the meter is 10 positive, 10 negative after coming off social media, are you positively affected by that or negatively affected by that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[Pete Corelli]

What's your take leaving social media? Like if you just looked at something for 10 minutes and then put the phone down, are you walking around going, wow, I feel great. Or are you going, what the, what's the wow?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did you do it? Nice. Terrible, bro. It's never. What about you? Do you ever come off it? Well, it depends on what we watch, but I never come off it feeling good. Better than I did when I went on it. I mean, I don't want to go on a rant, but the other day I told you I was the last cast that I casually mentioned. I'm reading the outside at the same time as Sadie and I finished a chapter at the time and I come in and tell Sadie. I go, yeah, I'm all caught up. And she's like, are you crying? And I'm like, no, I'm not crying. I go, but it was sad. And I was, I was holding it back. I've never, like, my phone never brings out those kind of emotions in me. And I feel like you're waking up to it. Cause you just read the Lionel Richie book and everything. All these senses of perkin and you realize no time. But I still do. It sucks.

[Pete Corelli]

We'll get back to the social media thing and I apologize, guys, because my brain is really scattered this morning and it's hard for me to concentrate on one topic. But I was watching football this weekend. Can you tell me, can you tell me when this started? And if Watt, if Watt would call, maybe we could ask him. Growing up, field goal range was like a 45 to 49 yards was like, I don't know if he's got the foot for that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right?

[Pete Corelli]

Like that was like, he might not make this. 50. 50.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Absolutely right. Okay. Right.

[Pete Corelli]

Can you tell me now when a team is on their own 40 yard line, they're like, we could kick it from here. It's like, when did a 70 yarder become a chip shot? What the fuck is going on with these kickers? Could you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right, because like, because at least you could say in golf, the clubs have gotten more advanced so they're driving the ball further, but a foot is a foot. So how do these guys get. Did they just. Are they working? You got to admit, when you used to see a kicker in the 70s and even the early 80s, there was a good chance he just put out a cigarette before he came out there to kick. Right? He didn't. He was so non athletic. His helmet only had one bar.

[Pete Corelli]

Remember that? I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did they still have that? Maybe they still do. I think it's double now. But like nothing was expected.

[Pete Corelli]

No, nothing was expected. It was either that he just put out a cigarette or he just got citizenship.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That soccer background, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

It was always a foreign guy. It was like, you know, Mario Alvarez out to kick the field goal. Right, right, right. It was always like a. Like a foreign guy that they brough to kick. Now it's like Chip J. Chip Johnson out to attempt a 72 yarder and not only does he hit the 72 yard, he still got room for more.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, we saw him warming up out here earlier. He was banging in from 65, no problem, you know, so like everyone should at least get three points every possession. You should at least get a field goal because apparently they're kicking him from the fucking parking lot now.

[Pete Corelli]

And I don't know if we talked about this. There used to be a guy that. And I don't know what the science behind this was, but there used to be barefoot kickers. There used to be a guy come out there with no sock, no shoe on, kick this damn thing. Right. Which I don't see anymore. Nobody's walking around barefooted, launching these things.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay? No, not at all, man.

[Pete Corelli]

I remember.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What was that? Was he on the Eagles?

[Pete Corelli]

You look up barefoot kicker. Yeah, I think one guy was on the Eagles. I think I want to say one guy was maybe on the Giants. There was even barefoot, I dare to say, barefoot punters. I don't know, I think barefoot was a thing back in the 80s, but I remember 80s, the 1980s. If a guy came out to do a 49 yard field goal, it was like a NASA launch, right? Like it was. People just stopped what they were doing and. And now the. Like you said, they're just. It's 65 yards they're warming up with.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Because when Scott Norwood missed the 44 yard field goal to beat the Giants when they lost because he missed it, that was a big deal. It wasn't like, how did you miss that? It was like, nah, like you said, 50, 50. But now if you don't kick a 44 yarder, you suck. Even in college, college guys are bl. So I think it sucks though, at the end of a game, like, you know how you a field goal to win it? It's like it's kind of hard to stop. They just throw one pass and they get to the 50 yard line and you're like, they're going to kick a field goal.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, it's just like there's no, there's not. It's like one. Yeah. One pass, one run, you're in field goal range. It used to be if the march down the field to get into range so I don't know what's going on with kickers. I just had to get that out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What about this? I want to ask you one thing and correct me if I'm I don't know how much you're paying for a football roster for minimum wage for a football player, right? But if you got these Giant rosters. And let's say you just take two guys. I don't know, can you spare two guys? And instead of getting who you have, you just get two dudes tall, like minute bowl, right. The tallest you can find. And their only job is to come outdoor and field goals. Because if a defense can do it right. And just on the count of three, we jump. Like, that's like, couldn't that be a big difference? And they're just blocking everything.

[Pete Corelli]

You would think. You would think two guys, 75 and 7 6, line up and they just jump and they're up, you know, nine, ten feet up in the air. That's enough to block a field goal right from the line. I think you're on something.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just have one little person up there. When you need a guy to get a walk, you send him up, he walks, then you pinch run for him. Boom.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, man. Okay, so that's number one, the kicker. Number two. I want to know what's going on in the real estate game with real estate agents and how this has completely changed. Okay? Now, in my day, real estate agent came to your house with a three ring binder, dare I say a tape measure, right. And kind of was, you know, I want to kind of just an everyday guy or gal. Now they got a girl spread eagle on a kitchen countertop, right? And she's. Are we selling the house or is this. This is a Playboy shoot? No, that. These real estate agents, they come out like lingerie and they're like, do you want a big master bedroom? And they lay it and they.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It.

[Pete Corelli]

They're like, what the. Oh, we selling a house or we are we doing a strip piece?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You talk about them high level realtors, right?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah. Where they bring in the drone. They got a drone shot coming from like another city, right? Like, when did you need to be Scorsese to sell a house?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know they throw it in big parties or they want to have a theme party. I get a vibe. I get like a beachy vibe from this house. So we're going to send the owners away and we're going to bring in the beach boys and we're going to have a beach party, right? Like just crazy, crazy stuff.

[Pete Corelli]

I don't know what's going on with the real estate thing with the women and this and the high heels and stilettos and garter belts to sell a house.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

Well, could you explain, like, the real estate you. You used in Rochester?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Kaihi's dude, it's like, come on. If I go to a restaurant and the mated d, whether it's a man or a woman at the front, is dressed nice and they're attractive. In my head, instantly the food is better. Attractive real estate agent. The house is nicer, but generally speaking.

[Pete Corelli]

These model types, men and women, they don't know nothing about the house. Do you know when I bought my house here, how casual the real estate agent was? He showed up to the showing in a Bermuda shorts and a flip flops. Okay, we're doing a major transaction right now. I do not want to see your feet.

[J.J. Watt]

Oh, man.

[Pete Corelli]

When I am signing the deed to the house. All right. And they're not educated on the home. Go on any one of these like walkthroughs and just throw questions at the real estate age. How much square footage is the bedroom? I don't know, but we have a beautiful debt. They like, they don't know anything about the house. Nothing. Who's next door? I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? Who am I living next to?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

On the other side though, you know, you're asking who's living next door? If it's not going to be a good answer, they don't want to tell you real it is a very cautious to not say anything that's going to make you not want to buy the house. So less is more. Less. If I give you a square footage, you may go, well, that's not as much as I seemed like when I looked at it. That's why they'd rather have you just look at it, man. They're not. I think you're asking more than they, I, I, I don't have a problem with how much they do. I have a problem with how much they get paid for what they're doing. That's you know what I'm saying. I'm not asking more of you, I'm asking less of to have to give you. But for this, Open the door, look around, let me know what you think. 20 grand, the whole job, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

I just don't know what it what. Generally speaking, a lawyer comes in. Like a real estate lawyer comes in and finalizes the deal. Generally speaking, on large purchases. I don't know exactly what the real estate agent, especially now with the Internet, used to be, right? Used to be like they show you two pictures in a newspaper. Oh, look at the house. You know, there's a house and then underneath the house it said, you know, 699,000. Beautiful backyard. You got to go see it now, literally, you go online, they'll show You. The inside of the pipes, the plumbing, you know, like, it's all there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

And then what's left for the real estate agent to do? What are you showing me that I haven't seen already?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, how about this? When I was selling my home in Fredonia, like I said, it went, like, in the first day, but right before she put it on the market, they put a big lock on the mudroom. Like, you come through the sliding door, and then they put a big lock on a door to get in. And I'm like, what's that? And she's like, well, we unlock. The realtor showing the house will come in and unlock it, and then they can show the house, but only, like, the realtor has the combination. Like, if a realtor wants to show this house to a buyer, only that I'll give them to come. So I'm like, so you're not there? No, typically, we're not there. Why? Unless you need us to be there. Like, I built a little secret bookcase that you push it in, and it's a closet, and you wouldn't know unless you push it in. And I'm telling her about it, you know, and I'm like, who's gonna show to my little pushing bookcase if you're not there? And Jackie goes, guy, get over it. But she couldn't. Jackie couldn't believe it either. That, like, you're hiring a realtor. They're not even there. You're supposed to be there to walk them around. Go. So, like, my clients did a ton of work. The whole place has been redone. The kitchen is. And they're like, well, the person selling them the house, their. Their realtor showing them the house knows all that already. I was like, we told them that.

[Pete Corelli]

No, no, I'm sorry. Your real estate agent needs to be there showing the home front and back and giving these little nuances and stories. I mean, what if you told them a story and go, you know what? You know what I love to do? This house really has some charm to it. I like to go out on the porch in the morning because the sunrise just comes up over that tree right there. Especially in the summertime when I got my coffee out here. It's a beautiful way to wake up. And, you know, you're not gonna get that from the sales coming in. They're going to rip through the house, go, you want it or not? Because I'm looking for a commission.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, yeah, but I'm laughing. But I'm also laughing because, like, if you're saying that to me. And you, you're just like this, bro. You're even more hyper like this than me by far. If you're going to buy a house and the realtor who's. Who's representing the seller is going to you. Oh, my client just says he loves to sit back here. You get quite a few birds chirping tropical birds in your head. You're going, okay, yeah, save the fucking bullshit for the guy in the driveway coming to look at the house after me.

[J.J. Watt]

I.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You fucking murdered a fucking bird flying over this get. Like you wouldn't believe a word the guy saying. I don't believe it. Like, you know, unless I'm seeing it with my own eyes. Like, there's a pool and then you're telling me about the pool. But if you're telling me about special time of the day at a sunset, so hot air, go wait by the porch meal. My wife are going to do a walk through and whisper about the place to ourselves.

[Pete Corelli]

True, true. I hear what you're saying. My example, though, was more of a larger story where you're not going to get some of the nuances of the home. When the person representing the homeowners is at the beach while, you know, Jim is showing their home to his client. You got to have a salesman salesman there. So I just want to know what's going on with the drones, the stilettos, and the tits on the stove.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, what. But what. What's your take on if you were selling your home where you live right now? Okay. And you had a lot of formative. A lot of special years there with the kids growing up and stuff? So let's say you were moving. Would you leave any sort of a special note or message to the. To the buyer after the deal is done and when they're gonna walk into the house that they now own, will there be a note like a president leaves to another president? Anything like that from you, or.

[Pete Corelli]

No, no. You know what I got. You know what I got when I moved into this house?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[Pete Corelli]

I got a fish tank with water in it still in what is now Caruso's room. So it was just, you know, here you go. We decided not to throw this out. So that's it. I got that and a chicken coop.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, shit. Yeah, mine was abandoned, my Fredonia house, before I moved into it. But with this one, you know, there's like, they had. I think they asked if there's any information I can give them on the house. Yeah, that's what they asked. So I already told the realtor, there's a book, Old homes in Fredonia. Our home is listed in there. I'll look to see if I have the book, but you can get it up the block. But there's a lot of little things I want to tell these people. Like, I want to tell them, like, I'll give an example. We have a front, old front door and a side door. They both open up to the porch and both of these doors take screens that are custom made that go in there and they look beautiful. Now, Jackie doesn't like to use them because she wants the air on all summer. So they've been way up in the corner of our attic. So the other day when I was doing a last run through the house, I don't have to do this. I found them in the way up corner of the attic, which is where I found them when I moved in. And it took me like, I don't know, six months. And I just happened to be up there going way back, checking everything out, like, what the fuck's over there? So I'm like, I'm gonna make this guy take six, seven months to finally get up in this corner of the nook of the attic and find these things and then deduce where they go. Let me just slide and put them over here with a little note so they know. Hey, if you want to put the screen to just make life a little easier, a little less discovery, you know.

[Pete Corelli]

I thought we sold this house.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We did sell it. But to close where I live takes forever, man. You know, apparently there's so many people closing in the warm weather, buying and selling homes that you know to go through the deed and the contract. And so anyway, it's. We just literally went to a notary the other day and sent the papers back. So it's looking like next week will finally close. But the last of my is out of the house, everyone. The whole deal is moving forward.

[Pete Corelli]

Okay, that's that, you know, so now you're in the new house. You've been in there for, I'm going to say four weeks, let's say.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, five weeks.

[Pete Corelli]

Is there anything that you go, oh, and I wish I was in Fredonia, or have we just left that in the rear view mirror? Is there any time in the last five weeks you question the move or you're missing something in Fredonia, or is it just apple pie and milk over there?

[J.J. Watt]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

No, no.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Absolutely psyched with our call. No, nothing. I mean, the people, of course, but beyond the people that are the Friends and family we have out there. But as far as the other stuff, nah, this is it. Full on. I'm literally. And this is early to say in a game, and this is almost like a guy that gets divorced and he's with a new chick for like two months and he's already talking marriage. But I'm. I said to Jackie, I. I don't know about maybe just, you know, based on what's around us, the whole vibe here just. Do we just not. Did we retire and stay here like someday like instead of going anywhere else and then just look for that lake house or something for that to, to get away. But like, like I was never gonna. When I was done doing whatever I wanted to do, I was never gonna stay in Fredonia, especially when Sadie was gone. But I just see a lot of guys, older men walking around around here and they're like kids left and just love it. And I'm like, dude, I see it, I get it. So like you did you see yourself never leaving your home now your whole life, like that's always will be your home.

[Pete Corelli]

Just talked about moving yesterday.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I needed a whole kitchen redone.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh man.

[Pete Corelli]

Have you set up the Pete Corrielli garage like you want it? Do you have a place for your rags yet?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's. My father in law is literally coming later today with a trailer with the last of my stuff. It's a lot of my garage stuff. So it's all that. No, it's a huge garage though. But I've been eyeballing it. This thing is so big. I'm so excited. I'm going to get my camper in the garage. And then I noticed the hooks and I'm like, wait a second. The bikes will hang down and the camp will go underneath it. So that'll all be in that corner. Yeah, I'm eyeballing it, figuring it all out. This is a huge garage, so I'm psyched. And then next week, Patrick is going to help me with my new lights and my studio is going to just be popping, baby. It's all coming together.

[Pete Corelli]

I want to discuss the video that you posted on instagram with the 1941 war vehicle that you had strapped to your Yukon and the refrigerator you had the mini fridge. And I have to tell you, and I hate to take sides, but we could have left the fridge and I feel new. I feel how. Listen, I feel new house, new things.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I like that. But yeah, it's hard to explain though, man. Jackie comes from. And I get it. I do too. But like, and you always preach this actually same thing too. You know, the value of a dollar. She was just yelling at Sadie about it last night and her thing is like, why? Like, she, she'd be more annoyed than it's worth. Like, just take it. She's like, just grab it. It's right there. Then when we're going to order one and da da da. So I hear you. My bigger concern is I wonder if I've ever done like damage to what my career could be by like sometimes just being so. Every day. Ish. You know what I mean? That, like there's no. I don't think you want to see a performer doing some of the things that you see me doing. If you're a fan of this stuff. No, you know what I mean.

[Pete Corelli]

I have to correct you on that. You are fully baked into what people are wanting. And if I hear this word one more time, I'm going to vomit. But this is what they want. Authenticity. They want to see authentic you how you are real. And moving the refrigerator from Fredonia to Rochester. Oh my God, look at. He's. He's just like me. He straps the war thing and he's got the thing and I pack my own stuff. That's what they're looking for. They ain't looking for this fancy shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, no, I have a small pocket. But then, you know, you go to your like pizza one and all these awesome things you're doing. There's a difference, bro. It's called arenas to, you know, not arenas.

[Pete Corelli]

No, no, no, no. I don't think you should stop. I think you should lean more into it. Matter of fact, I think you should put a video camera in your living room and capture some of the Jackie and you interaction at night, which would probably put you into another stratosphere based on what I've heard.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What do you mean watching? What are you talking about?

[Pete Corelli]

If you get unfiltered conversation between you and Jackie on the couch at night and how you guys interact together, I'd see that. I'd fucking tune into that every night.

[J.J. Watt]

Fuck you.

[Pete Corelli]

Fuck you, Jack. I would love to see that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The arguments or the agreements? The agreements or the agreements. Speaking of last night I showed her the. The. Well, I don't know timing wise with this, but I showed her the thing you sent me of the gift. She was like, dude, that's so cool of him and blah, blah, blah. So, yeah, it goes that way too. I'm not trying to segue into that, but. No, talk about how cool we thought that was.

[Pete Corelli]

So what Pete's referring to. And I'm not just, I'm just. I'll bring it up. I. I shared with Pete a photo of my father receiving a car. I bought my father a car yesterday. Now this is dynamite. It was something that I was tinkering with over the last, I don't know, four or five weeks. He's got two cars. Both of them are quite old. Older. And he's got a convertible that he loves. It's a crossfire. It's a two seater. It's his summer car.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right.

[Pete Corelli]

And I don't know if you could remember back to when your father was doing some of these things, but my father doesn't go back to the dealership. After purchasing a car, like, they tell you, come back for the oil change or what? Anything goes wrong, come back, we'll fix it. You know they got the. They got the parts that fit the car at the dealership, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

My dad. Well, I'm gonna go, dealership, and they're gonna charge me double. Instead, he goes to d' Agostino Car Repair, right? Which was an old gas station that this guy took over. And you go in there, and he's got, like, a Honda up on the rack, and then he's got. And then he's got, like, a Toyota, like, and then a Pontiac. He's got, like. He does. He doesn't specialize in one vehicle, like, one mate. He's all over the map. And he went. He went to. He went to this guy for a new top for his convertible. He needed a new top. Well, the one that. The Pontiac is the same top. Yeah. It's too much money. I'm gonna go to this guy. He's gonna give me another. Not the same. Not the factory top. I go, what, is he gonna give you, an Afghan rug to put on this thing? Just go.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Go get the top, man.

[Pete Corelli]

Like, he's gonna go get, like. He's got a black top, but he's gonna go get a tan top made out of, like, monkey fur. You know, it's like.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's not made for his car, but his d' Angelo guy will make it fit sort of a thing.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, like, he'll shimmy it in there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[J.J. Watt]

Watts here.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, Watson. Oh, we got.

[J.J. Watt]

What?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, boy. All right.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, there he is. Oh, my God, bro, what's going on?

[J.J. Watt]

I can't believe I've been invited back. It feels like it's been 10 years. You guys forgot all about it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I like.

[J.J. Watt]

No, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Are you kidding me? We follow you like crazy.

[Pete Corelli]

We got. We gotta. Can we bring this up?

[J.J. Watt]

Pete looks like a skeleton. Do you eat food, bro?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know, that's what I was telling them back on. And you can see I look good. You can't see me without your windshield wipers on.

[J.J. Watt]

Oh, my God. You look like the skeletons that you called white trash that people put in their yard.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I. I find. I disagree with that, bro.

[J.J. Watt]

I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying you're leaning.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, all right, I'll take that, bro. Good to see you, though. Seriously, bro, I'm. I'm a little flustered that you even called. It's awesome.

[Pete Corelli]

Let. Let's. We know. We know you're Pressed for time.

[J.J. Watt]

I'm not.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yes.

[Pete Corelli]

All right, superstar, we need to put. We need to do a side by side here, and we need an explanation of what the is going on. Throw this up so he could see what's going on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sebastian, look at J.J. already looks annoyed. He already looks like he's hot.

[Pete Corelli]

He's going to rip us to shreds. But we have to figure out why this is why this is. If you can't get up the double. Okay, bro, we need to start with the glasses. Pete brought this up. I didn't see this. And we feel that you have a whole different look now that you're in the booth than when you were playing. And we want to know, is this planned? It looks like the hair is a little longer. And we want to talk about the glasses that Pete has described as a Datsun's windshield.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The guy with the glasses. Yes, I do. Looks like he would keep the stats for the guy without the glasses. Like you tell him how many sacks he had at the end of the game.

[J.J. Watt]

Well, I appreciate you guys paying attention to my post playing career so closely that you know what's happening at all times, because you clearly tuned into my game where I clearly explained at the beginning that we were doing 1975 throwback because it was the 50th anniversary of NFL today, so it was a throwback game.

[Pete Corelli]

So, Pete, you do your research.

[J.J. Watt]

I've listened to the Pete and Sebastian show for 10 plus years, and I am not shocked at all that there was zero research done for this episode.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I got to talk to the staff. Holy.

[J.J. Watt]

Patrick doesn't know. He hasn't slept in three weeks. He needs glasses just to see the screen.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

Oh.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, my God.

[J.J. Watt]

Nothing better than when Patrick laughs in the background on this show.

[Pete Corelli]

Like there.

[J.J. Watt]

It's just we. We don't need a studio audience. We just got one dude in the background with a random laugh at whatever he finds funny. It's great. And he's sleep deprived, so he finds everything funny. What table are you sitting at? Did you take that from the Vatican? Holy.

[Pete Corelli]

This is. This is my podcast table that doubles as a dining room table. But I have a romantic dinner, bro. I didn't know that this was a. I thought Pete thought this was your new look, and he brought it up and he was totally disgusted with it.

[J.J. Watt]

Yeah, well, I mean, it also takes three days to get a text back from Pete, so I'm not shocked he's not up on the latest news. You can't laugh at that. You take two weeks sometimes I don't even think you have the same phone. The hair is long. There's no doubt the hair is currently long. I've never been able to do it during my playing career because under the helmet you get sweaty. Like, I don't want it down my eyes and everything. So I never, ever grew my hair out. This is by far the longest my hair has ever been. And I'm just doing it for fun. I want to see what it's like. I want to see, but it'll go back at some point here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I. I think there's a part of you and I. I get some birds chirping, so I'm in the know. I think it's also partially the headshots for. There is this acting things going on. I know that's.

[J.J. Watt]

No, no, no, no. I, I don't enjoy the. I, I thought about that at one point, but I, I like live. I like the audience. I like the atmosphere. I like being. I don't like shooting and then having to wait three months to get the last. Which is tough.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[J.J. Watt]

You going shorter on your hair?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I. I currently am, yeah. I went a little short recently because.

[J.J. Watt]

At the new bar, you haven't got them down yet. Not dialed in.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, you know what it is, man? When it goes, the longer it gets, the more you see the gray. When it's shorter, you don't see the gray as much. So I'm just like, we see it.

[J.J. Watt]

We see it, we see it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I apologize for not knowing the classes.

[J.J. Watt]

I do not care. Nobody would know.

[Pete Corelli]

It's fine. You embarrassed the entire Pete and Sebastian show. I think so. Watt, listen, in the beginning of the show, I brought up and maybe you could shed some light on this, because we do have an NFL insider with us today. J.J. watt, could you tell us what's going on with the kickers in the NFL? We were saying that between the 80s and the 90s and even into the 2000s, 49 yards was like a. Like a long 50. 50. This guy is going to make it. When did 70 yards become a chip? What could you explain to me? Is there a new way of kicking? Is it? What is it?

[J.J. Watt]

So there's a couple things at play here. First of all, obviously, people are training for it for their entire lives now. I mean, there's a whole lot of money to be made, and kickers are sometimes guys that probably definitely weren't going to make it at another position. So they found a way to make millions of dollars still playing in the NFL training. But another thing has happened this year for sure, in that they've changed the rules on what you're allowed to do with the kicking ball. So some fans don't even know there's a regular ball that you use for the game for quarterbacks handout and everything. And then there's a kicking ball specifically for the kickers. And previously the kickers were only allowed to manipulate the ball, I believe in the last couple hours before the game. So they were given a fresh ball and then they try and like doctor it up and everything to have it ready for the game. Now I believe they're allowed to do that beforehand. So these balls are basically exactly how they want them to be able to kick them perfectly. And that's another part of the reason why they are going farther and more accurate.

[Pete Corelli]

Wait, hold on. You're telling me the ball that was just caught by Jesus, I don't even know a name of a receiver anymore. Oh, Pete, do you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

As I was going, oh, geez, I was trying to think of one. I was like, oh, geez, Gary Wilson.

[J.J. Watt]

There you go.

[Pete Corelli]

So that ball is not being even used during the kicking game. You're telling me they're so. They're in possession.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So here, by the way, I know a lot of sieve is. By the way.

[J.J. Watt]

I just want you to know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right.

[Pete Corelli]

Okay. It doesn't seem like it.

[J.J. Watt]

So it's like this, this ball. This is like a regular ball from the game. First of all, the balls come and they're like orange. This is not what it looks like when it comes out of the box, but it comes like very bright red and orange. It's very hard. So what they do is they basically, all week long, the equipment staff is caking it with mud, scrubbing it with brushes, trying to do all sorts of getting it wet. They're doing all sorts of things to soften up the leather and then to make it basically a little more round, a little softer to be able to catch. Now, a kicking ball will have a letter K literally branded in, like right here. So at the end of a play, when it's time for a kick, whether it's a punt or a kick, they throw this ball out of bounds. And then the refs throw in a K ball, kicking ball, and they kick the kicking ball.

[Pete Corelli]

That's another question I wanted to ask you. Back in the 80s, watching the games, the ball looked brown, now it looks black. Is that what's going on? Is that because is the NFL themselves? First of all, let's ask you the question, where are these Balls coming from. Is the NFL providing the game balls or is the team bringing the balls?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Okay, you go to d to get 10 balls.

[J.J. Watt]

Every team is provided. Obviously, Wilson provides all the balls. It's called the Duke. It's a famous ball, but everybody gets them during the week. And then you have to bring your balls to the game, and then they're checked before the game by officials, and they're all marked and stamped and approved and they're all sorts of things weighted. They do their air pressure. Obviously, the Brady thing happened, all that stuff it. And then every single one of them is marked, put in a bag, and then the refs have that bag until the game starts. And then once the game starts, that is the bag the refs pull the balls from so that nobody can manipulate the balls. Change the balls. They've all been checked before the game.

[Pete Corelli]

So both teams bring their balls together and they play with the refs.

[J.J. Watt]

Check them all, and then the refs hold on to the bags. Like there are.

[Pete Corelli]

There are.

[J.J. Watt]

I don't know how many there are. Maybe it's 10. Maybe it's. I don't know the number, but there's like 10 game balls for each team, and those are the balls. So, like, if you kick a ball into the stands after a touchdown, it's part of the reason they find you is because, like, that's. That was one of the game balls gone. Or you. Actually, I don't know if that's true because you keep a ball after you get an interception. So if I get an interception and I want to keep it, they put tape around it and they write, J.J. watt, interception. And then they take it back to the locker room and put in my locker.

[Pete Corelli]

And who pays for that, you or the team?

[J.J. Watt]

The team. That. That's the team. But like, if you want jerseys, generally, like, though you get to keep one jersey of each color at the end of the season, if you want more, if you want a jersey swap with the other team, you can pay for them. If you want to keep your helmet at the end of this season, you can pay for it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, but there's a whole. When you say, it's crazy, but I want to get back to the kicking, I have to ask, when you say jj, did they. They get to make the ball, the kick is like, they like it, then they hand it in. Then the ref makes sure it still is okay with all their rules. But my question is, why are we. Why are we making it easier at all for the kickers? It's like, that's like there's so many people.

[J.J. Watt]

You don't want that way.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's like, like when the game's tied and then, you know, all you gotta do is get to the 50 yard line. You don't even have to get to the 50 yard line anymore.

[J.J. Watt]

That's the biggest change also is that the new kickoff rule. If anything weird happens like the comes all the way out to the 35 and then there's a penalty, it comes out to the 40. So you basically only need a first down and a half or definitely two first downs and you're basically in field goal range for a lot of these guys. So it has changed the game for sure. But then you've got teams. I mean, I just did the Falcons game last week and their kicker was over two the previous week. So that changes how you think about am I going to kick it or am I going to go for it on fourth down? It's, it's a very tough job with a lot of pressure, but guys have gotten significantly better at it.

[Pete Corelli]

And we were talking about the. Growing up in the 80s, all the kickers were like foreign. Like it would be like dramaticas.

[J.J. Watt]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

Now it's like they ain't even, they even getting these soccer guys anymore. It's like, like to your point, in the beginning, these people are trained from, from day one to be a kicker because specialty training.

[J.J. Watt]

This is crazy. Think about this. So you know the long snapper, the guy that snaps the ball back to the log. Snappers are so good now and they train so often from a younger age, they can snap the ball and have the laces line up to where they want them to be. So a punt, the guy snaps the ball from 14 yards away and the, the snapper will snap the ball back. And he knows how many rotations on the ball in that 14 yards to get the laces to land when it hits the punter's hand. How nuts is that?

[Pete Corelli]

Wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow, wow.

[J.J. Watt]

Unbelievable. Dud guys are incredible and like they'll go back and watch the film and if the laces landed to the side, like they're pissed.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow.

[J.J. Watt]

Unreal.

[Pete Corelli]

Is the long snapper the same guy that does field goal snaps too? So that's. Oh man.

[J.J. Watt]

So one job. Literally one job. You get paid to snap the ball. That's it. You don't even really have to be good at tackling or anything. As long as you can snap that ball perfect every time. You can play for 15 years.

[Pete Corelli]

Geez.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now what about playing for 15 years? If you got two seven like Manu bowl seven five, seven six. They only come out for field goals and they just jump up and block that shit. Is that. Why aren't we doing that? Why? What do you think?

[J.J. Watt]

I mean, kickers are really good at getting the ball high. So your best chances now to block kicks are the long ones because the trajectory has to come out lower. But I mean, it'd be a really interesting study to see where the. Where the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, what height and how tall you would have to have a guy to do it. Be really interesting.

[Pete Corelli]

Pete, you're onto something, bro.

[J.J. Watt]

This guy doesn't know any receivers, but he's changing the game. All right, before we go you way, we could just throw you up in the air and you could block it. You're like a feather.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You guys got me concerned that I'm getting sick and I don't even know know it. I think I'm the same way he hit me with the same last week. What are you talking about?

[J.J. Watt]

We're not saying it looks bad. You just look clean, disintegrating.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know.

[J.J. Watt]

All right, so that's not a normal sized T shirt. Like that shirt is tight on you and you're lean. If I tried to put that on, it would rip. Like the Hulk looks good, though.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're not as. Listen, I hate to say this, I think the worldly, but you're not as big as you used to be. So with the. With the Hulk kind of thing, you're kind of pedestrian. Now you're a little. Gotta run his body. You gotta. You gotta run his body.

[J.J. Watt]

I gotta run his body. What do you got?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I was never an NFL defensive player of the year.

[J.J. Watt]

If you take a tumble down the stairs, a hip is gone and you're having one of those chairs that takes you up the stairs for the rest of your life. And you're doing the commercials where the tub that opens up and you stand in your shower.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay?

[J.J. Watt]

That's where you're at. So maybe eat a cheeseburger and stop doing the juice buns. Right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

See, you're so mad that you're not as big as you used to be. That's what that is. There you. You're throwing it back at me.

[J.J. Watt]

I got a workout coming up in a couple hours. I'll send you a photograph.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right?

[J.J. Watt]

You tell me how big I am. How about that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow.

[Pete Corelli]

Watt went on a rant.

[J.J. Watt]

Brookshire, wherever he moves, and all of a sudden he's big dog on campus again. Because he's got a yard. 1, 2, 3. Temple is gone in the past, and now he's big dog on. Where are you? Yorkshire.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What big city did you move to?

[J.J. Watt]

Metropolitan, huh?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pittsford.

[Pete Corelli]

You don't even know how to respond, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. There's a lot coming at me right now.

[J.J. Watt]

It's not fair because I know everything about your guys lives because I listen every week and I follow you and I actually watch your videos and understand into the references. But then I do something like put glasses on. You guys have no idea. So I. I just have to reevaluate our friendship and where I thought we were at because I thought we were a lot closer than we actually are.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We are, man. Yes, we are. We are we. Just that one thing caught me off guard. I was about to come on and someone was tweeting that you're wearing these glasses now all the time.

[Pete Corelli]

And I'm.

[J.J. Watt]

3, 2, 1. What's my kid's name?

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, man.

[J.J. Watt]

All right, you just tell Sadie and Jackie I say hi, all right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sebastian.

[J.J. Watt]

And make sure you get that dinged up fridge from your basement into the new house nice and easy. All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How did. Oh, you saw that video? Don't worry.

[J.J. Watt]

Don't worry. I know it all, brother.

[Pete Corelli]

I know it all, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know what I listen.

[Pete Corelli]

Koa and Nico.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nice.

[J.J. Watt]

Good job, Patrick. Nice feed. Nice feed. You just tell Seraphina and Caruso that life is good out there.

[Pete Corelli]

I miss him.

[J.J. Watt]

I want to see him sometime. All good, guys. It's all good.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This just another echelon. You're on, man. So we just. I, I always. I can't believe I eat enough food.

[J.J. Watt]

To fuel my brain. I got enough fuel in my body to fuel the brain.

[Pete Corelli]

October 23, 2022. By the way, the birthday.

[J.J. Watt]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

All right, guys, this is great. Thanks for coming on and having a few laughs. Really appreciate. No, you're busy.

[J.J. Watt]

Let me know when I can come on as an actual guest again sometime.

[Pete Corelli]

That'd be great.

[J.J. Watt]

2011 was our last time. You just let me know and I'll be here anytime. Time.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Come on. Anytime you want, man.

[Pete Corelli]

I kind of like the impromptu invite. You just come out. We don't even plan nothing. Boomer right into it. It's one of my favorite moments on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The My little baby.

[J.J. Watt]

Y' all have a great go, go and go.

[Pete Corelli]

Best go and work out some chest. All right, take care.

[J.J. Watt]

Send you a picture.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God. It's making me feel terrible. I, I, I don't, I, I mean, I watched the man he's just on a different level. So, like, I feel like he's got so many people in his life coming on him. Wait, wait, hold on. That. I don't even deep dive like that.

[Pete Corelli]

This is not even an excuse. Different level. Didn't know the kid's name.

[J.J. Watt]

That's okay.

[Pete Corelli]

It's okay. And listen.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know about that.

[Pete Corelli]

He doesn't have a podcast every week that he's been listening. He's been listening last 12 years to us. So he knows the ins and outs of our daily life. I'm sure if we listen to the Watts podcast every week and him talking about what's the names?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Koa and Nico. Boom. But yeah, like, when all door friends, it's not like Sally and Tim. They're a little tricky. They don't roll off the tongue right away. Even Sadie, you know, I have yet. I have yet to find anything in any store when they have keychains and stuff. They never have Sadie. I don't really even come across another Sadie. Caruso. Same thing with Caruso.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Even Seraphina is not like that common.

[Pete Corelli]

And so.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, it is common anymore.

[Pete Corelli]

It's not.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I was gonna name. That was a boy, if I had a boy. I was gonna name him Tony. I was gonna name him Anthony. I couldn't wait to call him Tony and do cocaine with him.

[Pete Corelli]

But I.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Really was going to name him Anthony and call him Tony. Oh, God, you're Tony. I don't know a Tony. That's not fun. Every Tony I ever met is fun and a little crazy Tony.

[Pete Corelli]

You know, my buddy back home used to be called Tony. And then when he got older, he decided to get sophisticated and started going with Anthony. He was. Call me Anthony now. Oh, what the sorry tone. Like, he thought Anthony was almost like. Like. Like he went to Oxford, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know? Who calls you Anthony? Your mother. Until you're 18, you get out of the house and everyone else goes with pony, right? And you come, Anthony, are you hungry?

[Pete Corelli]

Did your mother used to call you by your full name when she got upset? Was she one of these mothers that. Did she go, you know, what do you mean? Peter Corieli, get over here right now. Was it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Was it.

[Pete Corelli]

Was that the vibe?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, no. You son of a bitch.

[Pete Corelli]

Do you have a middle name? John.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What's yours?

[Pete Corelli]

Hey, watch and feel so bad. We've been doing this for over 15 years. We don't even know each other's middle names. I know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's true.

[Pete Corelli]

That's true.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That was unbelievable. By the Way. I'm still blown away by that. That he came on and then he shredded me, man. How come he didn't shred you as much? I wonder why.

[Pete Corelli]

You were shreddable today.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But they did that, so. But Patrick gave you the names and. Right.

[Pete Corelli]

I plead the fifth.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. All right.

[Pete Corelli]

All right. This appeased.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You don't get that. I just want to say, you don't get that on any other cast. That was, like, phenomenal.

[Pete Corelli]

You don't.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What is the middle name, bro?

[Pete Corelli]

Joseph.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Sebastian. Joseph. All right.

[Pete Corelli]

Sebastian, Joseph.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Joseph, Sebastian.

[Pete Corelli]

No, it's my two grandparents, Sebastian and Joseph.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, wow. Nice.

[Pete Corelli]

I feel like now that you know the meaning. Yeah, now that you know the meaning behind the names, now it's a little bit more acceptable. But when you just thought it was just Joseph, you're like, it don't go together. It doesn't.

[J.J. Watt]

It doesn't flow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, no. Yeah, right. But Sebastian must be your dad's dad.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Or is it your mom's?

[Pete Corelli]

No, no, my dad's dad. All right, guys. Pete and Sebastian show. Hell of a run here. Thanks to J.J. watt for joining us on the show to his beautiful family and his children. We will see you next weekend. God bless.

[J.J. Watt]

The show has ended.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well. You know what it is, man? When it goes, the longer it gets, the more you see the gray. When it's shorter, you don't see the gray as much. So I'm just like.

[J.J. Watt]

We see it, we see it, we see.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And Doug, here we have the limu emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds.

[Pete Corelli]

With Liberty Mutual.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Fascinating. It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug. Uh, limu is that guy with the binoculars watching us.

[J.J. Watt]

Cut the camera.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]
