Summary

The Pete and Sebastian Show – EP 682 – "The Backdrop Drops"

Release Date: November 25, 2025
Hosts: Pete Correale and Sebastian Maniscalco
Episode Summary:
A riotous week of classic banter between Pete and Sebastian covering everything from shower habits and generational divides to neighborly leaf blower wars, odd etiquette at youth soccer, comedic takes on home improvement woes, and reflections on sports, parenting, and mob documentaries. The backdrop on Pete’s set becomes an unexpected star as it literally comes crashing down in the middle of the podcast.

Main Theme & Purpose

Pete and Sebastian dive deeply (and hilariously) into the small rituals and daily absurdities of suburban life: neighborly equipment one-upmanship, parenting pet peeves at kids’ sports, generational quirks, the creeping perils of modern etiquette, and how to “blend in” or not, in a new neighborhood. Along the way, they veer into sports fandom, Asian-American academic standards, unsung heroics of duct tape, and nostalgic dissections of Titanic, always with their signature chemistry, observations, and grinding mutual affection.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Listener Habits: Music (and Podcasts) in the Shower

• [01:25–04:33] Pete fields a call from a listener who listens to their show in the shower – a habit both find a bit odd, but Pete admits to loving Sinatra tunes for his own shower soundtrack.
• Sebastian is skeptical, guessing only 27% of people listen to music in the shower, before Pete delivers actual stats:

  “37% of Americans usually listen to music while in the shower. Among Gen Z, it jumps to 70%!” — Sebastian [04:15]

• Cue debate about generational divides and their own status as Gen X.

---

2. Generational Identity: Gen X vs. Millennial/Z/Alpha

• [04:33–06:37] Pete and Sebastian try to pin down their generational labels, getting tangled up in birth years and what makes Gen X "the best."

• “Say we’re going out to dinner—who’s there? Bunch of Gen X people. I’m in.” — Pete [05:24]
  “Gen X just sounds cool.” — Sebastian [05:06]

---

3. Soccer Parent Etiquette: Bagels, Cream Cheese, and Turf Wars

• [06:37–10:48] Sebastian brings bagels and cream cheese to a Saturday soccer game for parents, only for a kid from the opposing team to swipe one.
• Pete and Sebastian riff on the missed etiquette of asking, parental boundaries, and the breakdown of old-school manners.

  “Do you have napkins? Napkins?! What am I running, a brick and mortar over here?” — Sebastian [09:32]

• Both share passionate mini-rants about modern parenting and “no parent thing today.” [09:50–10:10]

---

4. Suburban Rivalries: The Great Leaf Blower Debate

• [11:03–21:15] Pete describes the shock of moving to a neighborhood where retirees “do their leaves daily” and his neighbor repeatedly insists he borrow a $750 industrial blower. Pete worries about the “bond” formed when borrowing big-ticket tools.

  “That's like sleeping with his wife. A bond is built.” — Pete [18:27]

• Sebastian jokes about weaponizing one-upmanship:

  “I get the next blower above his… Bob could feel the breeze from 300 yards out with this puppy.” — Sebastian [19:45]

• Pete’s pride chafes at being shown up by “Bob” and his Big Bertha blower.

---

5. Neighborhood Keeping Up: Snowblowers, Generators, ‘Scoopa Dupe’

• [21:32–24:41] Pete marvels at local services: everyone has a generator, snowplows are marked with stakes, and a company called “Scoopa Dupe” picks up dog poop.
• Sebastian wonders if Pete will hold true to his blue-collar roots or adapt:

  “Are you going to adapt to the neighborhood norm, or are you going to be Old Pete?” — Sebastian [23:10]

---

6. Daylight Savings Grievances

• [24:41–26:32] Short but impassioned debate about the usefulness of daylight savings, and college memories of using the “extra hour” for another drink.

  “Just keep the time the time. What are we doing?” — Sebastian [25:41]

---

7. Sports Talk: Quarterbacks & Asian Excellence in Baseball

• [26:32–30:01] Pete reflects on Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen and Kansas City's Mahomes as generational talents, and Sebastian transitions to the Japanese takeover in MLB (“the whole [Dodgers] team might need a translator in four years”).
• Discussion of Asian-American parenting standards:

  “B plus, we’re going out for pizza. She’s saying B plus, she’s disappointed. ... I told Lana, I go, we gotta start hanging out with the Asians more often.” — Sebastian [29:03]

---

8. The Backdrop Literally Drops: Podcast Set Fiasco

• [30:20–32:15] Pete’s backdrop crashes mid-show. The guys devolve into laughter, questioning duct tape’s effectiveness, and riffing on “white trash” home repairs.

  “If they had duct tape during the Civil War, it would have saved lives.” — Pete [31:25] “Wow. This is white trash beyond belief.” — Sebastian [31:04]

---

9. Borrowed Equipment = Social Bondage

• [18:27–19:19] Pete's Larry David-esque monologue about why he hates borrowing anything big from a neighbor (see above)—“a relationship is formed, an obligation.”

---

10. ‘Houseboat Mike’ and Opener Etiquette

• [34:55–36:30] Pete’s new opener is a comedian from “Loose Ends” who lives on a Canadian houseboat. Sebastian asks about the social obligation: do you have to hang pre- and post-show?
• Pete prefers solitude but relents for a 3-hour drive. Both recall the pain and awkwardness of forced rides with near-strangers.

---

11. Sick Days, Work Ethic, and Honesty

• [37:08–38:49] Sebastian’s house staff calls in sick after a weekend; he’s immediately suspicious.

  “I’d respect that. Don’t give me this shit with, ‘I got a cough and a sniffle.’ Just call me up and say, ‘I need some time to myself today.’” — Sebastian [38:18]

---

12. Furniture Store Etiquette: Shoes Off, Couch Test-Runs

• [39:08–43:24] After muddy soccer, Sebastian’s family removes their shoes before testing furniture, leaving a little pile at the door. He ponders whether he could start a trend of shoe-removal at stores.

  “If you're going to lay on a bed or a couch...and you have shoes on...?” — Sebastian [40:20] “We set up scenarios in the furniture store of how we’re going to use the couch. ... We’re using the furniture.” — Sebastian [41:09]

• Pete’s skeptical, wondering if this is overkill; Sebastian wants to “live in it before we buy.”

---

13. Mob Shows, and the Lost Honor of the Mafia

• [45:37–48:25] Both lament how in all mob documentaries, “ratting out” each other is rampant. Sebastian asks if it was ever, truly, not the case.

  “It's so disappointing, man. ... What are we doing if everyone's gonna rat each other out?” — Pete [46:18]

---

14. The Anxiety of Watching What You Want at Home

• [48:43–50:16] Sebastian laments how hard it is to watch what he wants at home without the family around, leading to iPad viewing in hotels “while the lady with orange juice walks by.”

---

15. Medical Office Etiquette and Preventative Care

• [51:07–54:05] Sebastian amusingly details his pride in being the “fastest” at doctor’s reception desks, loathing those who argue over $10 co-pays. He wants proactive, not just reactive, care and takes pride in “preventative scans” (lung scan).

  “Preventative care. I don’t wait for that shit to start happening…Scan this shit right now!” — Sebastian [53:29]

---

16. Fitness as a Life Mandate

• [54:48–56:27] Pete delivers a passionate summary about exercise as the key to health, inspired by his 90-year-old father-in-law.

  “If I owned a company, I would have a gym, and they would have to work out for an hour a day. ... You got to work out four times a week at least.” — Pete [55:22]

---

17. Paranoia or Vigilance? School Security and Backpacks

• [56:32–61:18] Sebastian “Pulls a Pete” at school drop-off:

  “Who's this creep? ... If you're in public with a backpack on after the age of 12, you're suspect.” — Sebastian [57:42]

• Debates the fine line between “see something, say something” and stereotyping.

---

18. Parenting and Movie Reactions: ‘Titanic’ as a Teaching Tool

• [61:58–65:40] Pete recounts watching Titanic with Sadie, whose biggest shock is Billy Zane’s toxic masculinity more than the sinking ship. Pete muses on Zane’s lasting association with villainy.

  “If a man ever hits you, Sadie, boom, you’re gone. You don’t stick around.” — Pete [63:38]

• Closing nostalgia about DiCaprio’s casting and Billy Zane’s reputation.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “That’s like sleeping with his wife. A bond is built.” — Pete on borrowing a neighbor’s equipment. [18:27]
• “Do you have napkins? Napkins?! What am I running, a brick and mortar over here?” — Sebastian, after a 10-year-old asks for napkins post-bagel theft. [09:32]
• "If they had duct tape during the Civil War, it would have saved lives right there." — Pete, after his backdrop collapses. [31:25]
• "I gotta get out of here with the drilling below me and the no eggs." — Sebastian, on construction chaos at home. [61:47]

Tone and Language

The episode radiates the duo’s usual blend of observational wit, playful competitiveness, and genuine “everydad” camaraderie, oscillating between mock outrage and real affection for the strangeness of everyday life. Profanities pop up in service of punchlines, and both hosts navigate the mundane and the absurd with energetic riffs, mutual teasing, and left-turn digressions.

---

In Short

This episode is chaptered by anecdotes of neighborly rivalry, generational reflections, modern etiquette gripes, and laugh-out-loud meltdowns (including Pete’s literal set collapse). It’s a must-listen for fans of observational humor, suburbia war stories, and anyone who’s ever worried about the etiquette of cream cheese, the honor of borrowing a leaf blower, or what signals a “creep” near the school dropoff.

End of summary.

[Pete Corelli]

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

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pete and Sebastian Show. Thanks for tuning in. Wherever you're at, on a treadmill, in your car, at work, in the bathroom, wherever you might be listening to this, we are here for.

[Pete Corelli]

I had a guy that. You're saying that. I'm sorry I interrupted, but it's okay. You're saying wherever you're listening. And a guy called in loose ends and said he listens to us every Tuesday in the shower. I didn't really like Kieran. That was a little weird to hear.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I just don't know how that works, you know, in the shower. I don't know if you bring the phone in the shower or if he's got a speaker in there or whatever the hell is going on in the shower. I just don't do anything other than shower in the shower. I got to be focused on what's happening with my body and I can't be distracted with any form of entertainment. What's your take? Listen to music.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah. To answer that guy, though he did say that he listens with the phone outside. And sometimes when we say something that makes he goes, I'm usually laughing when you guys are laughing hardest too. When you guys laugh really hard, I have to reach my hand out of the shower. We want to catch you guys laughing and then go backwards. That was kind of interesting.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The phone's wet.

[Pete Corelli]

Well, I do. I have now for the past, I'd say two months, bro. Religiously, I either put on Seriously Sinatra or there's another Sinatra channel. I'm forgetting them all. Frank all the time. Something like that. So one plays only Frank and the other one plays Sinatra and Sinatra type music. And I put that on and then I get in a shower and you know, I'm just like hearing Sinatra fly me to. That's just beautiful, man. I look forward to it. So I always play music in the shower.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Really? I'd like to get 100 people survey on how many people listen to music while they shower. Do you listen to music while you shower? No. See, I think this is the norm over here. See if you could chatgpt this. How many people, percentage wise, listen to music while they're in the shower? I would guess it's 27%. That's my guess.

[Pete Corelli]

Or the radio in general. The radio in general.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh. Like this was 1983. The radio would be something people would be listening to. But since it's 2025 and the radio is non existent, I'd say nobody's listening to the radio.

[Pete Corelli]

But I'm thinking of like, you're right. How a goodfellows when Ray Liotta is in the shower and he finds out they did the Lufthansa thing and he goes. And he's banging the wall. Ah, you did it. Fucking Jimmy. Fucking Jimmy. Fucking great movie, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, here. The best. I'm not far off. 37% of Americans usually listen to the music while in the shower. Among Gen Z, it jumps to 70%. And about half of the millennials do, versus 34% of Gen X and 12% of boomers.

[Pete Corelli]

So what are we?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We Gen X, right? We're Gen X. How old are you? 44. So what are you?

[Pete Corelli]

I'm a millennial. I'm the very earliest.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Patrick's a millennial. Doesn't seem right.

[Pete Corelli]

I think I'm like six months old. Millennials, it's people who turned 18 around the year 2000.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow, we got a millennial working here.

[Pete Corelli]

So that's one of the things, the way there's Gen X and Gen Z. One of the gens is millennial. Gen. No, we're Gen X.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What is Gen X, though? Give me the age range, what Gen X is right now. I think Gen X just sounds cool.

[Pete Corelli]

That's what we are. We're Gen X.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We're Gen X. Gen X is 1965 through 1980. Anybody that's 45 to 60 years old right now is Gen X.

[Pete Corelli]

That's just. That's just. If you have Say we're going out to dinner. Who's there? Bunch of Gen X people. I'm in.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I'm in.

[Pete Corelli]

What's Gen Z?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Gen z? Is anybody 13 to 28 this year? 13 to 28. Gen Z. So is Sadie Gen Z?

[Pete Corelli]

Is Sadie. Yes, she's. No, she's 12. Okay, so what is she? Did they even name her Jen yet? God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Imagine Gen Alpha.

[Pete Corelli]

My kid's gonna be the same Gen as your kids, whatever that is. My kid's gonna be like, right on the beginning of it. Yeah, well, Gen Alpha.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Gen Alpha. Is anyone born between 2010 and 2024? Yeah. So anybody that's 1 to 15 years old is Gen Alpha. That's our kids. Gen Alpha. Okay, so we got that cleared up. Let me hop into what I did, and I got to get your take on this. I brought bagels and cream cheese for the parents of the soccer game Saturday morning, right? Stopped off. Plain bagels cut in half a dozen. So, you know, 24 sliced bagels there with some cream cheese. Put it out. And I said to say, you want grab yourself a bagel if you want. Thank you very much. And I did something that. I don't know where you lie on this. I took the bagel and I did a spread, and I was handing them out to people on bagel. On a bagel. Right there. It's all done up, but it's coming off my hand, right? What you take on doing a pretty cream cheese bagel for someone and just getting it handed to you rather than you smearing it on yourself? What is that odd?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, it's odd. It's odd. But it's funny you say that because I had an experience at Waffle House. I went this year, the other night on the road, and the guy was all hand, no glove. Very similar to what you're saying. And it's like I ate it and I'd eat your bagel, but I felt it's a very aggressive move for you to be handing out bagels with the pre spread on them and your bare hand. They're on the table. It's very nice of you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They're on the table on the grass.

[Pete Corelli]

It's like you laid it out. You go, I laid it out. Where'd you lay it out?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

On the blanket? It's not like I had a table.

[Pete Corelli]

It's.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We're on a soccer field, bro. There's fucking mud on the floor.

[Pete Corelli]

You said you laid it out. I didn't know if that meant you brought a little folding table and they Sitting.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So you're on a. I laid it out. But this is not even the problem. Here's the problem. A 10 year old kid from the other team came over and made a bagel. This ain't for everybody. This is for our sight. Yeah. What you think on the competition coming over and taking my bagels?

[Pete Corelli]

And weren't they also for the adults really? Basically too. Were they for the players?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They're for like. No. This was a 10 year old sister of the kid that was playing on the other team.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. I don't know. Little girl comes up and gets a bagel. What are you gonna do? Obviously you let her have the bagel.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But I didn't say nothing.

[Pete Corelli]

But I'm like, do you feel like a parent should be saying. That's the other thing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What are you doing? What are you doing? Like, I want to hear from the other side, Julie, what are you doing? They're giving out bagels over here. Did you ask? No, mommy, I didn't ask. I'm sorry, sir, may I have a big.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But to come over there and do a smear and then go back and then come back and go. Do you have napkins? Napkins? What am I running a fucking brick and mortar over here?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah. I mean, why don't you just take those two? Why are you asking now? Keep your streak going. Freaking water. Holy shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I just left. So. So I. I couldn't get it out of my head that you got. You had to fucking. This is what I'm talking about. No parent thing today. I got my daughter on. I know where she is at all times. I know what she's doing. If she was getting. If she came back with a bagel, I go, where'd you get that? Oh, they're giving bagels out on the other side. I go, give it back to them. We don't. We don't take other people's food. Saying a buffet at Vegas. Right? So.

[Pete Corelli]

Well, I mean, did you at least say, did you thank him for the bagel? And then if I saw the parent like, thanks for giving my kid a bagel. I don't know what she's doing over there, you know?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, nothing. No, nothing. They don't. Nobody cares. This is, this is what? On the other side of the wall, I got construction going on left and right. Oh, it's just. It literally, they're downstairs. It feels like they're literally on the opposite end of the wall over here. Anyway, so if you hear pounding, how's that going?

[Pete Corelli]

Is that Almost done. Is that. Are we getting done with that or what?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's another whole thing I don't want to get into. I don't want to use these podcasts as a session. But again, we. It's. It's going. Put it that way. All right. It's going. At least there's people here with a hammer.

[Pete Corelli]

Careful what you wish for because where I used to live, nobody raked. Now where I live now, bro, these dead, dead. Literally catching them with their hands. Somebody's retired, guys. They're like not even raking them. They're out there just like with a hand basket. Okay, thanks to Rag and Bone for sponsoring this episode.

And the guy, the guy next to me, this guy's such a nice guy. I, I'm blowing my leaves the other day and then he comes up to me afterwards. This is crazy. This is like the exact opposite of where I used to live. And he goes, hey, wife was telling me you're out there blowing the leaves. And you know, I just want to say I, I know most of them are from my tree, you know. So like the guy who used to live there before you, he was basically never out, so I don't have to. But now you're out there doing them before I could get to him. And I go, bro, the leaves fall where they fall, man, just because they, you know, trees on that, but like. So they're all on it. So now the other day I'm doing my leaves, right? So now you do them a lot here. You do them a lot. They keep falling and it's so many trees here that they were telling me by the. You put them down by the end of the curb and they go. By the time the season's over, it's what the roads become one lane because the walls of leaves are so high. And the town comes in and they go with payload. I already saw them. They come in with these payload of trucks and they dump them in. I constantly. We have so many trees, it's insane. It's really cool. But anyway, my one neighbor, I'm using my blower, which is pretty high powered, and he's got one of these. Have you ever seen one of these blowers where it, it's so powerful, you just roll it back and forth. You, you don't even hold it. You roll, roll it and it just keeps blowing that way and you, and you just so, so it's, it's not very maneuverable, just back and forth. And he's got it out and he comes up to me and he goes, you can be there all day with that. Use my blower. And I go, I appreciate it. I'm not even going to be out here that long, but. And he goes, this thing, he goes, what you're trying to get now, this blower, if you turned it on, you could feel a breeze 150 yards away. Like if you lit a, a big lighter 150 yards away with this, like, you know, So I, I'm like fucking fascinated by that. But I was like, oh, maybe next time. He goes, next time, just let me know. About three days later, I'm out there again. I even got a rake I'm doing. And he looks up from his driveway and he goes, still waiting for you. It's still waiting for, you know. And I'm like, I appreciate, but not right now. What's your take on borrowing a neighbor? You're not even asking, they're offering. And these things go for like 750, so this isn't even a cheap piece of equipment. It's not a screwdriver. The neighbor offered to lend you something. Hey, you want to borrow my drive mower? I see your lawn's getting high and your guy hasn't come. Would you borrow anything from a neighbor?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I feel like in this circumstance, and maybe, correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like your ego got a little bruised here because, You know, when men start offering an easier way to do something to another man who didn't think of that before, and he's still antiquated in his thinking of like, I'm going to use a rake, or I'm going to use my blower, and someone comes in with a better blower, you're almost like, you know what? Keep your blower.

[Pete Corelli]

That's the way I do it. I'm surprised you're saying that. And then you're not seeing it this way because usually in these kind of scenarios, you do these social things. I'm seeing it more like you borrow a man's a piece of a tool, that a man has a piece of his equipment. That's like sleeping with his wife. A bond is built.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You.

[Pete Corelli]

A bond is built. I'm borrowing a piece of machinery that you own. That's. That's the start of a relationship. Because now when I'm done, first of all, when I'm using it, you're gonna. You're gonna have to show me how to use it. Oh, I don't like that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm.

[Pete Corelli]

I don't like that anymore. With a man, you want to pump this three times, then you're gonna watch me to make sure I'm doing it right. Then you're gonna ask me how it went, and then I got to bring it back over. Like, if someone makes you a cake, you can't just bring the dish back. You got to come over and go, oh, God, Kathy, I couldn't stop. I got to hit the treadmill even hard. I'd rather just not eat the cake, you know what I'm saying? Maybe that's a little Larry David esque, but I'm familiar with the piece of equipment. I've seen it. It's a very large piece of equipment that's only going to get used a couple of days a year. I don't need it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So that's why I got another. I got another take on it. Now that we're talking about it, this is what I do. I go get the next blower above his. So I. I get that one, right? And he comes out of his house and I. And I go, what's his name?

[Pete Corelli]

Well, let's say Bob.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Bob could feel the breeze from 300 yards out with this puppy, and I blow it right in his face.

[Pete Corelli]

Guy. Guy. What are you talking about, this guy? Oh, I thought you'd be rude. The guy's very nice, man. He's a Very nice, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know. What I'm saying is, like, this is like a one up. This is like a one up. And then he comes over, and now he wants to borrow yours. You flip it at him. Where now, where now? You go, you don't even have to move this thing. Shoot the fucking leaves into the next county. Right? And then he's like, oh, I gotta borrow that. Right? And then you're like, nah, I don't do that. I don't. I don't borrow. I'm not borrowing anything.

[Pete Corelli]

That's what I'm saying, man. I feel like Bob would go in and go, he doesn't even have one now. He's got to get a bigger one. I mean, come on. But this is what he did to me the other day. I came out to do him two days ago when Jackie was doing the marathon. I came out to do some yard work, and he brought out Big Bertha. That's what I'm calling this thing. And he fired it up to do his lawn. And I felt like he only brought it out to show me how much fat, because he was done in like 15 minutes. And I'm out there an hour and 10 minutes later. My back is hurting from hovering with my blower, you know?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But so now, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

The more I.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Think about it, this guy's showing off.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And this is what you got to do. This is. This is full bore now. And I don't know if you're up for this. You gotta go get the best snowblower out there. I mean, something that shoots snow 90 years.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, you're saying for that season.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, for winter now, you come out. You come out with your. With your snowblower and go, bob, let me know if you want to borrow this thing. Shoots 90 yards, breaks through ice, whatever. You go get the best snowblower they got, and you one up this guy. You bury this guy in snow.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, these people, they were on it, man. We lost power about two weeks ago. I think we're the only house on the block without a generator. That kicked in. It was embarrassing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Get way you gotta get.

[Pete Corelli]

And they don't even have. They don't even forget my snowblower I saw last week. All of a sudden, I see all these stakes in each front of each driveway, like a light blue and white stake. What the hell it is. It's a snowplow company. And they put the stake in so that the plow. The guys know which house paid for the snowplow and which didn't. So you know. So I'm gonna be out there with my snowblower. And meanwhile the plow comes down. Zip, zip, zip, zip. Every house, dude. My one neighbor, my one neighbor, they had a truck out. This is how high end some of these people are. What they do. It said scoop a dupe. I'm like, what the fuck? It's the third time I saw that truck. Scuba dupe truck. It's a, It's a yellow and, and brown pickup truck. And I read the door when I'm walking the door the other day, the company that comes and picks up the dog in your backyard.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What the.

[Pete Corelli]

Holy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I feel like these guys got the blower, they got this, the dog shit company, they got the. All this stuff that no one has to do. No one, no one really lifts a finger in your neighborhood, and you're the guy out there breaking your back. Now my question to you is, are you going to adapt to the neighborhood norm, or are you going to be Old Pete, where people are going to go, look at this idiot out there, Nate. Feet of snow trying to clear his driveway while we got. Well, I got like a Bronco or whatever the hell they use an F150. What are you going to do?

[Pete Corelli]

I got it. I'm feeling it out. Because they do do their own yards. It's not like they don't do them like they at least blow their own leaves, but they got the blowers, if not that thing that go on your back like your guys do and they do your property. So I don't have one of those. But with the snow. No, I think I'm gonna stick with my, my snowblower. Because the difference is you. You can't go until the guy shows up and does your driveway. I can do my driveway at any given moment, man. I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, we'll see. We'll see how the winner treats you. But this is, this is gonna be interesting. Moving into this new neighborhood. How you blend in? Or are you gonna be the guy who just like, you know what? I don't. I do my own stuff. I, I ain't hiring nobody to.

[Pete Corelli]

They're very nice. They've been very nice people around here. Sending gifts, dropping off candy. It's. It's been, it's been pretty cool. Do you. By the way, I know this isn't funny, but do you guys do daylight savings in California? Obviously you do, because it's always three hour difference. What I meant to ask is, do you notice it? Like, is it. Is there any difference in the Morning and the night to you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm bringing that up. This is the first time I actually forgot it was daylight savings time. I forgot. So I got up and I'm like, what the heck is this going on? It took me a while to go, oh, is daylight say anything? But, yes, there's a definite change in the. When it gets dark in the light in the morning. It's lighter now, earlier. So, yeah, there's.

[Pete Corelli]

There's noticeable.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, Noticeable.

[Pete Corelli]

All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Why, it's not noticeable there?

[Pete Corelli]

No, it is big time here because, you know, we're getting up in the dark before, now we're not. But, you know, there's been a lot of talk about making it permanent the way it is now, you know? So I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just don't change it. Just keep the time. The time. What are we doing?

[Pete Corelli]

I know, but this, when it's this way that we just did, it's awesome, right? Because you get that extra hour's sleep when you're in college. I loved it because last call was a two. But now you got an extra hour at the bar was fucking phenomenal.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Saturday night for one day. Sound like this is happening throughout the. It's one day.

[Pete Corelli]

No, it's that extra hour, though. It's a very special treat to have that extra. And then. But it sucks on the flip side, when you lose the hour. But you don't really mind because it's getting warm out. It's almost summer anyway. It's. Oh, God, I suck today. Not funny.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God.

[Pete Corelli]

It's because I'm wearing the sweater. I wasn't supposed to be wearing this shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, take it off. That's what it says. It's like, hampering your humor.

[Pete Corelli]

All right, listen, we don't normally talk. This guy, though, I gotta tell you, man, I don't know if you get a chance to watch Josh Allen play football. I know. I'm a Jet fan. God bless me for that. But this guy. This guy. Jesus Christ. It's like. It's like getting a chance to watch Picasso paint. It really is. It's just unbelievable. I mean, the guy is so much better than everybody else. Except Mahomes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, they just. They just beat him yesterday. This is, by the way, probably coming out two weeks late, but. Yeah, the Bills just played Kansas City Chiefs and the Bills won. I believe this is the fifth time in a row that they beat Kansas City in the regular season.

[Pete Corelli]

Regular season. But this Mahomes guy, though, like, this guy, they were getting their asses kicked and still. Still at the end of the game, he's throwing bombs that if someone catches it, it's a tie game. Like, this guy is never out of it. This guy is so good. It's. It's just insane, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's so.

[Pete Corelli]

And then you got Ohtani in baseball. What the fuck is going on with that guy?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What's going on with the Japanese in general? With baseball? I mean, the. The Dodgers roster. I would suspect in the next four to five years, the whole team might need a translator. I mean, they got the two pitchers, they got Ohtani, and God knows what's coming down the pipe in the next few years with these Japanese. I'm telling you, the Japanese, by the way, talking about Japanese and Asian people in general, we got another look at an Asian mother over. Had a. They brought. She brought her kid over to play with Caruso. So she was hanging out, and she was talking about academics, and she was saying, you know, academics. You know, it's just at the school that she goes to, she's, like, kind of worried. You know, My kid came home with a B plus, and she's like, what's going on? And I'm like, b. What's going on? That's in my family. B plus. We're going out for pizza that night, and she's saying B plus. She's disappointed. Right? Right, man.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I told Lana in front of her, the Asian woman. I go, we gotta start hanging out with the Asians more often. I mean, this is the level of conversation they talk about, oh, this certain school, they matriculate into another school. And I go, oh, matriculate. Hey, let's put. Let's look that word up. I told a lady, I said, listen, we got to start hanging out with the Asians more, because who we're hanging out with, they're worried about, like, who's having a party on Friday. Let's get up. That's the parents that we're with, right?

[Pete Corelli]

They could give a.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

About the education. They're just looking to do a beer in someone's basement. So the Asians, though, I mean, just like. I don't know if you noticed this. The pitcher won the MVP of the series. The Asian pitcher. I think his name is Yakamoto or something like that.

[Pete Corelli]

Something like that, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So there's the trophies there.

[Pete Corelli]

I don't know if I said it right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, they told him, you won the mvp. Right? He didn't even pick up the. He didn't even pick up the trophy. Just sat. The trophy was just there. He. He was so respectful of the team. Oh, Jesus, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

I thought I heard a noise.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

For those of you listening, Pete's. Pete's set just fell apart. What the. Bro, what is it? What is it held up with a pin?

[Pete Corelli]

Duct tape. Duct tape.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, you know, forget the leaf blower, bro. Get.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Get some.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's the least of your problem.

[Pete Corelli]

Hold on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God. Pete is looking for more duct tape in his basement to fix this right here.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow. This is white trash beyond belief.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God.

[Pete Corelli]

We gotta make moves. We gotta make moves with this show, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, God. What you take on duct tape in general, bro?

[Pete Corelli]

If they had duct tape during the Civil War, it would have saved lives right there. You got. You got shot. I'd be like, bring him over here, put some duct tape right over the bullet hole. Guy would be fine. This shit is the best invention.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Whoever invented this shit. Duct tape is so strong that people use it to hold up automotive parts on their car, right? Like, you ever see they use it as a window number one, right? If your window gets smashed out, duct tape your side mirror falls off, duct tape it to the car. But I'm surprised it's not holding up as well over there on the set.

[Pete Corelli]

Me too. It's a cement wall. I don't know. I thought duct tape was good. And it goes up against anything. Remember, I'll give you P. Diddy a call, see what he's putting up against his cement wall when he's doing his podcast from prison. Oh, my God, that's so crazy to see. To see P. Diddy. I. We grew up on P. Diddy, you know? And now I'm seeing him in prison with a goatee. A white goatee. He's laughing. They had a photo of him laughing. And I'm like, God, I think it would take me two and a half years to crack a fucking smile in prison. I can't think of anything worse. Beyond. Beyond health is being in prison. I just. It fascinates me on how horrible it would be. Horrible.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Terrible, man.

[Pete Corelli]

Anyway, I don't know. I got nothing, bro. So what a fight. What a fun show now, huh? Very exciting. We all know if the fucking wall's gonna hold or not. The pete and sebastian show.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Any travel problems that might have set you off? Any pull a Pete anywhere or in your older age, are you calming down with pulling Pete's?

[Pete Corelli]

I don't know if I'd say I'm calming down or if I just haven't been in a situation as often, but. Yeah, no, I'm going on the road this week. Hitting Annapolis, then I'm hitting Jersey. The, as I was saying, tour is on and out there, folks. So go get [e-mail] but no, I don't have anything yet. No, I got my. I call him Houseboat Mike. The guy that you spoke to on Loose Ends who lives on a houseboat. He's doing the rest of the year with me.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Hold on, wait a minute.

[Pete Corelli]

This guy's funny and fun.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So you picked an opener off of.

[Pete Corelli]

Loose Ends, A comedian that would call into loose ends out of Canada. Yes. Who happens to live on a houseboat in Canada, but he's been doing stand up for like 12 years. Oh, I didn't, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's a stand up and he's funny and he's, and he's high energy and he's fun and he's fun to be doing it with. So, you know, he got his, he's all good to go with the visa situation and.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, so is there an obligation? And I know you're a social guy, but since you're inviting this guy on the road, is there an obligation for you to like hang pre and post show with this guy or are you okay with going, all right, I'm gonna go and have a couple beers in my room. Or do you feel like nothing?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, no, I don't feel an obligation. But there are like times when like, for example, I'm playing this week in, in Annapolis and then the next show's in Jersey, three hours away and I'm driving. So of course I'm like, you know, you can come with me, so we'll see how that goes. I usually like my solitude drives, you know. So now you got another guy in the Car with you, it's like, are we expected to have a three hour conversation and then like, do we listen to music?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nah, I listen. I remember when I was first starting out, there was a couple gigs in San Diego and the guy that booked me said, hey, just drive down with me. And I'm like, I did that once. And after that I said, that's all right, I'll drive myself. Because to be confined in a car with a guy that you generally don't know.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, no, I know. Well, like I said, we did a weekend together and I thought he was really funny and had a good time. So we'll see how it goes. You know what I'm saying?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, let's see.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, that's it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's it. This just happened. Maybe it's me. Someone that works here at the house called in sick today. Now what? You take on a sick call after a weekend? I know all the games. I know all the games. Right, right, right, right.

[Pete Corelli]

So you find it odd when someone calls in sick on a Monday, or let's say Friday, you're trying to make a three day weekend. I see what you're doing here, but is it wrong?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like this animal sitting next to me, right? Yeah. I feel he'd come in with, like, respiratory failure. Right. There's just certain people that you just know are gonna show up. You know what I'm saying?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Regardless of health or whatever the obstacle is, they're just gonna be here. Right?

[Pete Corelli]

Right. Yeah. And get done. Well.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And listen, we could go back to a couple weeks ago where I called off the cast, but I didn't call out sick. I didn't say, I didn't make up no signals. I said, I need some fucking time to myself. All right, Just call out that way. Just call me up and say, I need some fucking time to myself today. I'd respect that. Don't give me this shit with, I got a cough and a sniffle.

[Pete Corelli]

Don't give me anything. Like when you didn't want to do the cast, no one told me anything. They just said you couldn't do the cast. So I said, all right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I just told Allison. I go, I need some fucking alone time. Cancel it.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, well, I'm glad she didn't tell us that. Yeah, it's a little hardcore.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want to get your take on this. I took the family furniture shopping for the first time because we're looking at furniture, right? Yeah, yeah. Now, this was after the soccer game. And the soccer game, the grass was a little wet, so we had some grass clippings that were on our shoes. So when we came into the store, we told the salesperson, we're going to take our shoes off because we don't want to get any of the furniture dirty. Because we were just at a soccer game, Right. And the furniture person was just stunned at the foreshadowing that we, as a family took to not screw up the furniture during our visit. So we had, like, a little shoe pile right by the door. Right.

[Pete Corelli]

Now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What should take. If you come shopping for furniture.

[Pete Corelli]

And.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Your shoes might be a little dirty, but you see a shoe pile, do you look down and go, ah, let me take my shoes off. They could be a little dirty. Or do you walk right past the pile and not even consider it? Part of me wanted to start a trend throughout the day of people coming in and removing their shoes. If you're gonna lay on a bed or a couch and you have shoes on at a furniture store.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, yeah. Well, what are you shopping for? There's a lot going on here. Because now you're walking around the store.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

With socks on, barefoot. Sorry, not barefoot.

[Pete Corelli]

We bought a couch two weeks ago. When. Why didn't you take your shoes off to look at couches?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I. This. The way we look at couches and the way you look at couches might be two different things. We set up scenarios in the furniture store of how we're going to use the couch. So Seraphina goes, daddy, let's lay on the couch and see how it is when we snuggle. There's enough room when. You know, when we, like, snuggle. Right. So Seraphina and I are. Snuggling in the furniture store and the couch. What you think?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, that's a bit.

[Pete Corelli]

That's a. Yeah, that's. I don't know, man. That's weird. You can't eyeball it. Like.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, we. I gotta live in it. I gotta.

[Pete Corelli]

I mean, we sit. I sit on it and I sit on it, but I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, I sit.

[Pete Corelli]

I lay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I tell Lana, sit next to me. Is it deep enough? Is the cut. Is it deep enough? And then I get Lana in front of me. I go, if we were to lay on it together watching a movie, does it have enough room for two human beings? Adult human beings. Right. You know, and then the kids were kind of playing on it. It was like, we're using the furniture.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, I get. Yeah, yeah. I'd be. Did you buy it?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, but.

[Pete Corelli]

But listen, come in, take your Shoes off, jump all over everything, and then walk out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It was a test run. We are going to buy it. We don't. We don't. We. We want to get it different. The floor model didn't have the fabric we wanted, so we have to look at the options of fabric. We are going to get it. But the way we test out furniture, you know, what, are they coming through the ceiling? What the fuck is going on down there? I mean, listen, for six months, not one hammer. Now every Tuesday or Monday, they're building this thing like they're on a time limit.

[Pete Corelli]

So.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We did the. And I gotta tell you, my kids. And again, I know these are my kids, and I'll tell you when they're bad. I'll tell you when they're good. But it was a joy going out with them. Furniture shopping. They really got into it. I mean, I know as a kid, my parents took me furniture shopping, could care less. These kids were, like, picking out couches. Like, oh, this chair's cool. Can we get this chair for my room? It's on a swivel. It'd be great to read on, you know, this and that. I'm like. But that.

[Pete Corelli]

You know what the difference is? Because when we were growing up, we didn't have a say. We knew we had no say. We just tagged along. Now, like, you know, parents turn around, go, what do you. What do you. What do you think? You know? Like, at one point, Sadie said, I like this one. I mean, Jackie, like, I barely heard of who did. You know, it's like, some. By the way, somebody.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The guy I'm popping off my chair right now. Oh, he's. What this guy's doing. Did the podcast room might fall right into the kitchen.

[Pete Corelli]

Jesus. Well, I mean, the guy can't win with you, man, when you don't hear what? Because I didn't laugh at that. No, something.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're off today, bro. I don't know if it's a sweater. What the you're doing over there?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, this. This is. I am a little off. But as far as the guy going, though, if you don't hear anything, then you get mad because you don't hear anything. So now you hear a lot.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You can't win with.

[Pete Corelli]

You can't win with me. I got a problem either way. Yeah, yeah. No, do you have a. Do you have a timeline when this is going to be done? Like, in general? The kitchen, like, did I tell you? Did I give you any idea?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

April. April.

[Pete Corelli]

Restaurants are built sooner than that, dude.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, it's Construction, bro. Yeah. Six months. Six months. We'll see. We'll see what's gonna go on. I had some other things that were bothering me.

[Pete Corelli]

I'm watching this thing on Netflix about the Philadelphia mob. It's a three part series. You did see, we lapped those things up, don't we?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, I am.

[Pete Corelli]

I am so disappointed in the mob. And I gotta tell you why, man. The ratting each other out is like. It's like, it's, it's. It's a. It's so consistent and it's a given. It's like if we were in the mob, the first guy who gets caught rats everybody out so he doesn't go to jail. And then they all go to jail and it. It just happens over and over. So, like the whole idea of like this thing of ours, it's like, what the are we doing if everyone's gonna rat each other out, man?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, no, it's. I don't know when that, like, I don't know if it was ever a thing. Like, I don't know. In the 1950s, did people just go to prison? And they didn't say nothing about the mop. Did it ever work?

[Pete Corelli]

Did it. The closest I ever saw was in Sopranos when big pussy, they kind of figured out he was ratting him out a little. And he's like, I wasn't saying much anyway, I didn't give you guys. Remember that? So they're like, we gotta kill you. And he's like, I know, I'm sorry. Like, you know, it was like, it was kind of honorable, but even he was doing it, he was already talking to the feds. So it's like, yeah, has that ever happened? Someone's like, you're going to jail for trafficking heroin for the rest of your life unless you tell us about so and so. And they're like, well, give me my jumpsuit. I'm going to jail. That. That's what it's supposed to be and it never is. It's so disappointing, man. Is killing each other left and right, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Did you watch the whole thing?

[Pete Corelli]

I'm on the third one. I'm almost done with it. But yeah, that one dude in the second one who just kills everybody, just his chain smoking cigarettes. So I killed him. They told me, should he have died? Did he deserve to live? No, but I have to tell you, Jesus, just kill this man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, you should see what happens to him in the third episode. There's more with that guy, but that guy looks like he has no Care in the world. That guy just looks like.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's like he went out for groceries.

[Pete Corelli]

He's the guy who got shot three times in the back of the head and stabbed. And then he. And then he. And he killed. He beat up the guys who were doing that to him. Yeah. Oh.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Even the way he was telling the story, he's like, yeah. Guy I don't know, shot me in the head. And then I didn't know what happened, so I felt my head and a little blood. I'm thinking. I thought, what do you mean? You get shot in the head and you go, what is that? I get shot in the head? I'm on the floor screaming, I got shot in the head. This guy, like, he got stung by a mosquito. What the fuck?

[Pete Corelli]

He goes, a little hot. It was a little hot. I was like, what? And then he goes. He goes. And then, like, I see a little blood, and then he stabs me. I'm like, you're. Are you trying to kill. Because. Are you trying to kill me or something like that?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Right?

[Pete Corelli]

He said, three bullets to the head and a stabbing, and now you finally deduced that the guy's trying to fucking murder you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, not only that, it's like. And then the next day, he's like, yeah, I do want. He testified, like, two days after getting shot in the head and. And getting stabbed. I mean, I don't know. Jesus, it's crazy. You ever put something on without your wife, right? And then she walks in and she's like, oh, what are you watching? And, like. Like, I'm watching stuff I know that she wouldn't watch with me. Right?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But even that, it's like, oh, you know what? I'm staying on the Mob in Philadelphia. Oh, that's. No, this is not. This is me, not you. This is from me.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, Yeah. I didn't even tell Jackie about it. That's how much I know she wouldn't care about.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, are you watching it while Jackie's home, or was she running the marathon?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, no, I watch it when she's not home. Or I watch it, like, in the hotel late at night. I think it was when I first met her.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's very difficult. It's very difficult to watch a program alone in your own home with your family around, right?

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Absolutely.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I tried that. Let me give this a test run. Let me see if I can enjoy in my own house. Something I wouldn't mind watching because I'm sick of watching shit on an iPad on United States. Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All these TVs in the house. I. I never. Because I gotta sit and watch now on the. On the ride to the hotel.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, yeah, totally, man. Head down.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh. Head down with the thing, and then I gotta go. No, Okay. I don't need any orange juice.

[Pete Corelli]

That's how we watch everything. Shit, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh. Oh, my God. Fucking hamstring, bro.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. Well, you got.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know what's going on, man.

[Pete Corelli]

You want to sit in the blue chair?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no. Something. It's just been happening. What happened last night? Spasms. Your hamstrings ever tighten up? Like. Almost like they just tighten.

[Pete Corelli]

I don't know, like a crown. Oh, everything is just falling apart.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I went for a lung test. Another thing.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, boy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All preventative. My lungs scanned, right?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. So I walk into this doctor's office, and I don't know, every doctor office I ever walk into, the receptionist just could care less about why you're there. It's just. Hi, how you doing? Insurance. I said. Oh, I thought I gave my insurance. No, you give your insurance, you know. Okay. You got to get the insurance card. This. What are you here for? Doesn't it say in there? I don't know. Is that a lung scan? I just sit over there. Okay, Sit over there. And then I watch other people come up. I take pride in being quick at the counter. Like, anytime I'm involved in something, it's a thing.

[Pete Corelli]

You always say that. You always say that. That you're fast. You always got everything they need right away.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Because there was a guy behind me. I'm like. I feel like an obligation to a fellow human being behind me to sit down and wait and so he could get. But no matter who is behind me, in front of me, there's always a problem with the CO pay. And listen, the CO pays $10. What are we arguing about? Yeah, sit down. That's part of the. It's part of your plan. You got to pay the CO pay. You know what I'm saying? Right? It's a surprise. A complaint. $10. I do. $10. $10.

[Pete Corelli]

I feel that's why the receptionists aren't very bubbly at doctor's office. Because they're so tired of the fights over the insurance, you know? What do you mean, that's not covered? It says it's not covered. You run. Run it again. Da. You know, call.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Call my ppo. They didn't. Fuck. We gotta. Once the receptionist, gotta get on a phone call with somebody. It's like, forget it. So, anyway, I'm sitting in the waiting room. I get called, And the technician's like, smoker? Nah. Chest pains?

[Pete Corelli]

No.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Shortness of breath. Absolutely not. What are you doing here? What am I doing here? Preventative care. I don't wait for that shit to start happening for me to get in here. Scan this shit right now. Right? Let me fucking catch it before there's a problem.

[Pete Corelli]

But what. What do you say? Seriously? You say preventative care? Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I go, this is a preventative care call. I'm coming in before anything happens. Scan it. Scan the shit.

[Pete Corelli]

Wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Speaking of lungs, any concern over there?

[Pete Corelli]

Okay, don't even. Don't even find something else to talk about.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did I hit a nerve? Finally, we found something to talk about, and now you want to shut it down.

[Pete Corelli]

You got. I'm glad you got your lungs scanned. I know the show is a little slow, and I've been a little off today, but I don't want to talk about what I think of my lungs. And is there any concern. I think we can find something else to talk about.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

To your defense.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Willie Nelson, a known pot smoker, still alive at 92 years old.

[Pete Corelli]

I know there's quite a few of. I look at John Mellencamp smoked and his prime. Five packs of Marlboros a day.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Five.

[Pete Corelli]

Like, literally awake, smoking. So, you know, a lot is exercise. I know that. It's a dude. I've been watching, reading this stuff. It is insane how much you increase your health, your chances of being healthy by working out. It's like, through the roof. Through the roof. Like it should be. If I owned a company and I had, like, 500 employees, I would have a gym, and they would have to work out for an hour a day. Paid. It's paid. Shower and everything. All paid. So it's not like I'm asking you to, but you need to work out, because then you're going to keep my fucking health plan down, and we're all going to have a good time, and it's good for you. It should be, like, a mandatory thing, like brushing your teeth. You got to work out four times a week at least. And you feel so much better. I can't tell you, when I work out, I'll be mad at something, and then by the end, I'm, like, wiping the sweat off. It's almost like Dinero and Goodfellas when you're gonna kill Maury. And then, you know, you're like, forget that thing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Forget that thing.

[Pete Corelli]

You know, you just feel better. So anyway, Do I worry about it? I don't think about it, but I. I try to stay healthy. I try to work out. That's all I can do, man. I try to work and I. Like my father in law is 90, almost 90, 89 years old, and he has a. Doesn't take tons of pills and shit. Fucking guy's been eating deer meat his whole life. He's got his garden. He works out. He still works out. He does a hundred sit ups before he gets out of his bed. I mean, and the guy's still going, so God bless.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete Corelli]

So, you know, just work out, bro. Just keep working out. That's the key to it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's the question. And I didn't. I woke you out of a coma over there with that question. Now, this is the Pete I know, he's amped up. Now we're piped into the cast. All right? That's what I had to do to get you alive. Now, I want to talk about something I pulled the other day. I think I pulled a Pete, but I need your opinion on it. Outside the school, there was a kid, early 20s, on his cell phone with a backpack on, completely unzipped. The backpack was unzipped. Right? Now we have security at our school. And I pulled the security. While I was in line to drop off the kids, I pulled the security over the car. I go, oh, boy. I said, who's this creep? Right? He goes, what? Oh, now you know that. Say like, see something, say something. I not only say something, but I give like a. I don't go, who's this guy? Who's this creep?

[Pete Corelli]

Right, right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He's outside of school with a backpack. First of all, I'm sorry. And with these backpacks.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you're, if, if you're. If you're in public, in a randomly. On a sidewalk with a backpack on. After the age of 12, you're suspect.

[Pete Corelli]

If you have it when you have it over both shoulders, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like that, just backpack, cell phone. I'm thinking, what's in the backpack?

[Pete Corelli]

That's it, man. Boston Bomber. It's like, that's the same shit. It's like, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I hate to blanket everybody with a backpack on. That's. But this kid didn't look, right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna Fucking Superman this shit up.

[Pete Corelli]

All right, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If you don't look right, and what I mean by not look right, if you look off, right? Would you. Would you agree there's a. If you look at somebody. You could tell something. Right? Or am I living in a completely different universe?

[Pete Corelli]

No, that's. That's instinct. That's why it gets tricky. They say, see something, say something. But then they also say, don't stereotype. So it's kind of like if I see somebody weird looking with the knapsack open, that's crazy to me. That's. That's right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So that's what I'm saying.

[Pete Corelli]

So.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So if you say something that you're right, because it's too. Too. It's like the antithesis of what they're trying to get you to do. Because if you do say something, then the person receiving that message, they got to be on the same level you're on. So when I go, yeah, who is this creep? And the guy. The guy should say, yeah, this fucking asshole's been. I need to hear that back.

[Pete Corelli]

Right, right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't need to hear excuse me, because now I'm going to go. I'm going to. I gotta go. Creep again on the. Excuse me. I can't. I can't hold back and go, who's this guy? I gotta double down on the creep. I go, this creep, who is he?

[Pete Corelli]

Right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And now all of a sudden, I'm labeled as, oh, who. Do you think everybody with a backpack is a problem? Yeah, I do. That's right.

[Pete Corelli]

That's right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Because I don't want shit to happen. This is what I want. Right? I don't want. I don't want anything to happen, but if shit goes down, I want that guy to go. Sebastian said this guy was a creep. We fucking dropped the ball, right?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I made a mention to him, and then I made a mention to the other guy. Who's the creep. I took a picture of him. I go see this creep. He's hanging out outside. He's been located multiple places around the school. The fuck is he doing? Yeah, no, we got him. We're clocking them. Are you? Because I am.

[Pete Corelli]

Right, right, right. But that's. That's not what happened, though. That's not what they said.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, they said they were. They were watching them, but.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, they don't.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, I'm a parent and I'm. I'm there in the line for a minute and I. I picked this guy out. Right, right.

[Pete Corelli]

Nobody else.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nobody else is picking this guy up. Me.

[Pete Corelli]

You said they. You said they said they were clocking them. They said they were.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The second guy. Yeah, the second guy was clocking him because there was a parent that Told me about this guy and then boom. As soon as I got onto the, the thing, I'm. I'm in, I'm honed in on this guy.

[Pete Corelli]

Right, right, right, right. Yeah. Anything going on? Anything going on?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nothing going on. But I mean, I'm just saying it's like I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut. That's what I'm trying to say to you, man.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah. Some of these stories you're saying, though, man, I can't help thinking that some people just, you know, looking forward to you going back on tour, bro. Oh, Oh, man. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I gotta get the out of here. I gotta get out of here with the drilling below me and the, and the, and the no eggs.

[Pete Corelli]

Oh, man. No, I, I, I don't know. The. You're gonna have times like this. What are you gonna do? Sadie and I watched Titanic. Oh, wow. I wanted to see Titanic. And she really, really liked it. But, you know, it was interesting, which I was happy to see. She was mostly shocked. Like, the thing that shocked the more than the freaking boat going down, all these people dying, was the way Billy Zane treated Kate Winslet. You know, it was his fiance. At one point, he smacked the face when they were ordering dinner. He ordered for her, and he was like, that's fine for you, right, dear? And then like, she's, they were rich, so she had a sketch and she's like, oh, I really love this. I bought it off of a guy named Picasso, a young and up and coming artist. And Billy Zane goes, he's nothing. I don't like his stuff at all. Like, you know, he just kind of pooh poos everything she was saying, and it was just interesting. She was like, you know, Sadie was like, she couldn't finish it on the first night, it was so long. But she's going to bed, she's like, dad, that guy is such a jerk. He's such a jerk, dad. And I was like, yeah, no, if a man ever hits you, Sadie, boom, you're gone. You don't stick around. But I just thought it was interesting.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know, Life lessons, man. That movie teaches life lessons. They get to see what an asshole is, and then they get to see what a true man is. Right? In DiCaprio, did she know who DiCaprio was prior to going into the film?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, yeah, she's familiar with him now. But I think Billy Zane's acting in Titanic as an asshole was so good that, that it affected him getting a lot of future work. Because I even said to Sadie, I was like, if you saw that guy tomorrow at something, would you think he's a jerk? And she's like, how could I not? I go, I know, but it's crazy to think that he's acting. When you meet him, he probably even go, I was acting as a. Come on, I'm a nice guy. Nice to meet you. You know what I'm saying? But, like, you did it too. You did it too well. You did it too well. People see you now and they're like, there's the dick from Titanic. He was just great dude at the end when he grabs the child and he's trying to get on the boat first. He's trying to get on a rowboat. And he goes, any room for a gentleman on there? And they're like, no. And I'm like, oh, my God. It's filled with women and kids, and you're asking if you could get on. Scumbag, scumbag. And then later on, there's just a girl crying, and he grabs the baby and he goes up to the guy and he's trying to get on the rowboat, and he goes, I'm all she has, you know? And then the guy's like, okay. And then as soon as he gets on the boat, he hands like a loaf of bread to somebody at the. Out. Just. God, was that good?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, I know, man. I gotta watch that movie. And I think that was the last movie I saw before I went to college. I think with my mom, I saw Titanic. I thought that was such a fabulous movie when I saw it.

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah. And. And I got to say, though, the casting of DiCaprio was bad casting. It's bad. He looks like a little boy compared to Kate Winslet. They're the same age. They're the same age. And then on top of that, I think I'd rather get smacked in the face by Billy Zane than, like, you know, mess around on the third deck with this little fucking boy writing sketches. You know what I'm saying? I mean, Billy Zane was. Is loaded. Good movie.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, good flick.

[Pete Corelli]

Good flick. Anyway, bro, check it out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, this. That's the Pete and Sebastian show today. He's all over the map.

[Pete Corelli]

The show has ended.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do you have napkins? Napkins? What am I running a brick and mortar over here?

[Pete Corelli]

Yeah, I mean, why don't you just take those two? Why are you asking now? Keep your streak going. Freaking water. Holy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I just left.
