This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corelli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
C
Welcome to the Pete Sebastian Show. If you're just joining us, what I witnessed for the last. For 13 minutes was equivalent to. Felt like I was in an old people's home.
B
Oh, not again. We're going that route again.
C
Man. I mean, this, this, this man.
B
Yeah, right.
C
Has the patience level of a monk. Some. It's amazing. What's it. No, no, like raising his voice, very monotone. Trying to explain to you how to hook up whatever the fuck was wrong over there. There was no, like, no frustration in his voice. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
B
Well, okay. As we all get older.
C
I'm sorry, one second. It's okay. Now talk.
B
Testing, testing.
C
Yeah, go ahead.
B
I feel as we all get older.
C
Everybody keeps going in and out.
B
Oh, yeah, just praising the guy. Nothing's fixed. All right, testing.
C
Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
B
As we get older again, everyone.
C
Yeah, he starts talking and then it dips out, and then it dips back in again. But.
B
Okay, just testing. A, B, C, D. Hello, hello, hello, hello.
C
Yeah, as we get older, it keeps. Fragmented.
B
Should I keep speaking?
C
Yeah, just, Just keep talking.
B
I'll let. All right.
C
As you get older.
B
Yeah, as we get. As we get older, all your friends, people, you know, when they get older, whatever their occupation is, they're peaking. They're. They're masters of their craft.
C
Yeah, it keeps.
B
Oh, this is a great monologue, man.
C
I'll do it. I'll do it. One ear.
B
It's fine. What, you're gonna do the whole show with one ear?
C
Oh, one ear is fine. Believe it. Listen, bro, I don't even know where These came from. It could. They could be mine. But he handed me these and he goes, here, put these on.
B
I go, are these yours? I ain't putting your earbuds in my. No, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't either. But they might be yours. They might be a pair of yours.
C
They might be. But I don't even want to, like, chance it that they're his, right? I come away with some ear fungus. I had no idea. I had that.
B
I. Yeah, yeah, that's a little too close.
C
I agree. All right, now go. Go your mind along.
B
You were saying? I don't even like to do. No, you bring up a good point. Because, like, I will go with somewhere Jackie's. And she goes, you could just borrow one of his sweatshirts. His sweatshirts?
C
Why would that even come up? What do you mean, his sweatshirts? What?
B
I was going. We were going to my brother in law's for Thanksgiving, and then there was talk of, like, doing something athletic. And I'm like, all I got is a, you know, button shirt or whatever. You could borrow one of my brother's sweatshirts or something. What about gloves?
C
Yeah, he's going. He's going in and out there. I'm gonna try these. We've confirmed that they are mine. One sec.
B
They could have just come off a corpse. Just put them on through the show. What a turn.
C
I can't hear you. I can't. I can't hear you. Could you hear me? Okay, but I can't hear you. So I just give you a play by play right now. There is a cabinet I forgot we even had in here. He's. He's face deep in this thing, looking for. Look for earbuds. I don't know what the. Who.
B
Who's old now?
C
Wait, wait, what?
B
Who's the old guy now, Bro?
C
He's opening up before. Let me go get. Let me go get some. Don't, don't. I don't know. Look at this. Look, look. Look at where he went. What the is this, bro? What is this, Christmas?
B
Hold on, I got.
C
Hold on. Sit. Height. Old man's got to go get his.
B
All right. Oh, God.
C
Jesus Christ. Feels like the 80s.
B
They don't look bad, actually.
C
All right, there we go. We're up and running.
B
All right, all right.
C
All right. Guys, this has been a hell of a morning. It's one of those mornings that just started out wrong. I left Patrick out outside. This is the problem. You know, you tell your kids to do Something, right? He's like, I'm outside, you know, 7:09. I said, all right, I'll be right there. So I told Seraphina, go let Patrick in. So I hop in the shower, and I get a text from Allison. Patrick's there. It's just like, 7:27. Let him in. I called Seraphina. Did you let that. Oh, I forgot. I'm so sorry, by the way. Did she come out and say sorry to you? No.
B
I did hear the air pressure change on the garage door.
C
I think maybe the door opened, but the button didn't get clicked.
B
There was movement shortly after the text.
C
Didn't even say sorry. She's gonna get a talking to this morning. So anyway, she kind of said, I'm so sorry, Daddy. I'm so sorry. I said, you gotta. You gotta get your head in the game, you know? And I tell you to do something, you do something. All right? Now. Now we're behind. He's gonna rush to get stuff, you know, hooked up. Stuff has consequences, bro. All right.
B
Sadie says. My daughter says, don't hover, dad. You hover. I'm like, I'm not hovering. I'm following you and looking at you because it. All it takes is, like, literally one glance in the mirror and you all. You just get stopped. You just. You lose control and, like, you lose concentration. Stick to the plant, brush your teeth, floss that, you know, like, she goes, I'll be right back, Mom. I just want to go upstairs. Then Jackie and I go talking a half hourly. It's like, where is she? You go up there, and she's dancing to, you know, country music. She loves country music, bro.
C
Peace.
B
But anyway, point is, La La land, guy. La La Land they have. They don't even know what's going on in the world. They're like, whatever. Remember when you were that age? It was like, nothing Said none of that was my problem. Gas prices my problem. Start the car, take me where I gotta go.
C
Yeah, I get it. But listen, bro, every morning, it's like a surprise over here that we got to go to school, you know? I told him, I said, listen, it's the same thing, everyone. You get up, you make your bed, you hit your breakfast.
B
This is this.
C
It's like a routine. Take the dogs out. By the way, there's dogs again. I just went down. I just went down to get the ear. We had a. We had an audio issue here. I went to go get the. The earbuds, and my contractor, who's doing the. The kitchen is outside. My window, where the dogs are at. And he's banging on the window. I go, what's going on? He goes, your dogs are eating the garland. Like my wife has garland over the fireplace and they're gnawing at it. So I had to put out that fire, right. I had to put them in a crate and I had to get the air. The air, the air. So it's. Yeah, it's been one of, it's been one of those mornings. And. Yeah, so we got, we got kind of thrown off our, our path here. It's no sense of dipping back into the hole. Unless you want to go into your monologue that you had about old people.
B
Well, no, no, you were just saying you were random. You were saying Patrick, and you were calling me old. I wasn't old in that situation. When we were setting up, there was a malfunction with the computer. Patrick is an older gentleman now. In life. He's become a master at all this. Everyone you know that's older, they're like at the peak of what they do. They're great at it, whatever it is. So he figured out the problem. We got right back to it. That's like the second dig about old. I'm not, I'm not getting old, guy. Look at my outfit. I got a dangling chain. I got the date. I'm like, I'm looking, cool guy.
C
I don't talk about looking. I'm talking sounding. What I was hearing coming from, I just. This is what I heard. This is how I interpreted. Do we have any of the audio on the back and forth between you two? Was that recorded at all? Okay, wow. So I'll reenact it. I, I don't, I don't know, Patrick. I'm not seeing anything over here. I, I, nothing that. It's easy. It's going back to my grandfather as he was trying to figure out how to use the vhs.
B
Right, you're right. Listen, and you hit a nerve. Cause last week when we were talking about the accident with Jackie and the way I was sounding on the phone like, I'll be right there. I'm not liking the high pitch, non assertive. I'm not liking it either. And it's not serving me well as I age. As you age, you should have a deeper, slower voice. Higher, higher.
C
Oh, God.
B
All right, all right. I don't know if that stands, but anyway.
C
Oh, man.
B
So. Oh, anyway. So that's where I was coming with that. But you're right. Deeper and slower serves you better. So what's going on, bro, how you feeling? You relaxed? You sliding this? I don't know when this show is coming out, so I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about when it is now or when it's coming out. But anyway, just.
C
We could talk about some current events that were happening. We had mentioned we're coming off Rob Reiner getting stabbed to death by his son. Right.
B
God.
C
And it's like, bro, I don't know. Was this going on 40 years ago? Was this even something that was happening 40 years ago where kids were killing their parents, do you think? Or is this something that's just recent and now we're just hearing.
B
Well, I mean, well, you got. The Menendez brothers did it.
C
Ah, that's true. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Just. It's just like now you got to be worried about your kid killing you.
B
I mean, I said. I said that to Jackie. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that?
C
And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that. But this went through my head. They went to Conan o' Brien's birthday or Christmas party that night. The first thing I thought about come. I wasn't invited. All right, we start the show now.

C
Is that bad? You're laughing.
B
That's funny. No, I think it's funny, man. I mean.
C
All right, listen, let's. Let's wipe it clean. Let's get into some that we could actually air. I don't particularly find going out with my family To a restaurant. Fun, right? It's, it's, it's a lot of work. Eight and six years old. I mean, not, not that they're bad kids, but it's a lot, man. And the restaurants we're going to are not really kid friendly, you know, it's not like we're going to McDonald's. Yeah, yeah, we're going to Izakaya. You know, it's like, what the are we doing here?
B
You know, May as well be church to a kid, you know.
C
So we have a standing reservation at this restaurant that's not really kid friendly, but it's like a casual, you know, I'd say it's a ring above Cheesecake Factory. It's out here in LA. All right, so we go, we have like 6 o' clock on Wednesdays. We decided after we get the kids from their activities, we bounce over to this restaurant. So kids are off of school at 5:30. We pull in at 5:25 and Lana's got like this thing where like she, she's like, you coming? I'm like, no, go, go in and get them. The type of school where you have to go get the kids, they can't, they don't just come out, they have to go get them inside. I don't know, go get them. She's like, well if, if you come with me, I'll get out faster. Because she runs into people, right, that she knows. I said, no, I just go get them and come out at 5:25, 5:35, 35, 540. Nothing. 545 right now. If you should know anything about me, I'm a stickler for time. I live by the motto of punctuality is the prince of politeness. Okay? If I got a reservation at 6 o', clock, I want to be there at 5:55, all right? I don't like coming in late on anything.
B
All right?
C
Okay. All right. 5:45, I call it. Where are you? Yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming. Then I see them through the window and talking. She comes out, she's like. I go, now I'm getting. You ever get the, you ever get the non verbal anger? Like the. Yeah, you know one of those.
B
Yeah, never helps.
C
I know, but like what am I, you know what helps?
B
Like if you have a beep. The beep just pisses them off. It's like, it just pisses them off, man. It just, it's just like, you know, like, what do you think they're gonna go faster now? It's nothing helps Nothing helps. You should have got out. You really have no one to blame yourself for that.
C
No, no. So she comes back, I go, what the fuck was that? She goes, well, I ran into the Crusoe's old teacher, and then I ran into, you know, this couple of moms I haven't seen in a while. I go, you ever try just going, hey, can't talk right now. We got a dinner reservation. Husband's in the car. I gotta go. Why am I. Why is not. Why do I gotta sit for 25 minutes and stew while you frolic around the school? Right, right, right.
B
I know, but go ahead.
C
Problem I got. And I don't know if you got this problem. I hang onto this shit for too long. Like now, the whole ride to the thing, I'm like, stewing, right? Because that happened. I don't shrug shit off that seems like.
B
That doesn't seem something to get so hot under the collar about, though.
C
Oh, well, this is an ongoing. I feel like my whole life with Lana, I've been waiting.
B
It's so funny, bro. I mean, thank God I'm here sometimes. Really. I mean, I'm like therapy, bro. Because, like, there's a couple of aspects to this. I mean, and you throw it all. You throw me some light too. I understand. But, you know, first of all, there's the simple aspect of. She does have. She. She's around these people all the time, so she's building relationship. She can't be impolite to them and run in and out, they're asking a question. Because unlike you, who just pulls in the parking lot, barely ever gets out, she's got to talk to them about everything from play dates to field trips to PTA shit, right? So there's that. And number two, you're waiting for Lana. What are you waiting for, Lana? You're on the road half the freaking time.
C
No, bro, listen, when we go out for a dinner, I'm always. I'm always waiting. I go. You know, I even. I thought I told. I go. Would be nice to, like, I'm getting ready and you come in to my. To my bathroom and go, here's a glass of wine. See you out back.
B
Oh, wow. You know, has a woman ever been ready first? Has that. Is that even a thing?
C
Ah, I don't know. But I. I just. I. I find it completely disrespectful to keep somebody waiting. I just. I. I don't know. It's just.
B
Do you have. Do you have a dvo?
C
And I just did it today with Him?
B
Well, accidentally. Accidentally, yeah. Do you ever do to drink, have a drink while you're waiting for your wife when you're gonna go out at night? That's a nice pre drink.
C
I'd be drunk by the time she gets ready. That's how many fucking drinks I gotta down by the time she comes out of the bathroom. So I'm holding onto this the whole ride. The whole ride, yeah. And then sure enough, we get in, table's not ready. Cause they probably gave it away. And now they gotta fit it, you know, they gotta fit us in somewhere else. And then we sit down and the kids are bouncing off. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. And I don't know, man. Maybe it's because I had a fear of getting hit as a kid and maybe I gotta start bringing this back, but my father would lift his fucking hand up and that was it. Whatever I was doing, I stopped what I was doing because it was like, oh, shit. So I don't know if I got to start. I did something the other day. I said, get in the car or I'm going to start throwing shoes. And that seemed to strike a nerve. Now when we were in the car, Serafina said, I didn't want to be late getting in the car, daddy, because I didn't want to get hit by a shoe. I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I said I was. I didn't say I was going to throw shoes at you. I said I was just going to start throwing shoes.
B
Well, I mean, don't take it back, bro. It worked.
C
Yeah, but I don't need her going to school and go, my daddy was going to throw a shoe at me. And that's all I need. Fucking next thing you know, child services at the house.
B
The fuck are you doing? Well, you can't. Listen, you got to go for it or not go for it. I do. I do an arm grab. That scares the shit out of my daughter.
C
That's my. I think anybody would be scared to get you.
B
You, your.
C
Your fucking level of anger is like, similar to Nick.
B
No, man, it's not though. It's. I'm such a fun loving guy that it seems like it's coming out of nowhere because you just don't expect it. But that's like, it's the same thing with you. You gotta listen, bro. I'm telling you, man, these girls, forget it, man. Once she starts, she's just getting a little older, she can start, you know. Dad, can you leave my room? I'm on, you know, like Getting a little bit like, make fun of you, thinking it's funny. And you just gotta remind her to respect you. And you and the mom. What's your move gonna be, man? You're gonna. You're gonna like, take off a shoe.
C
Take a shoe off and throw it at the wall. I think that was. Scare anybody to have to death.
B
Oh, whip it against the wall. That's good. I never thought of that. Hitting something other than the child. That's. That's a really good idea. Damn it. Boom.
C
Yeah, just take the sh.
A
Boom.
C
Right? And. And now what? And then you come. You go into another realm of crazy.
B
I love this. I love this. Not only that, for you parents out there, find an old lamp that you don't want that you plan on throwing out and put it in, plug it in, knowing that's going to be the rage lamp. That's the one you and your wife already agree. What? Smash that shit. Taylor. Oh, my God. You're lucky it was just a lamp. Holy shit, bro. I love that.
C
I love putting things around the house that you know you're going to throw out and breaking them as some type of psychotic rage you have, right?
B
And then making the kid clean it up, right? I'll tell you, because the last time I grabbed my daughter, she's like, dad, after we made up, she's like, seriously, I was going to leave a bruise. And I'm like, no, it's not in my head. I'm like, but, Oh, God, I need to go into the nurse for a headache. And the nurse is like, can you pull up your sleeve a little more, kiddo?
C
Hi, Mr. Corieli. We've noticed some bruising here on the right bicep.
B
You also notice the stunning fucking discipline of the child. You don't get one without the other. You don't get one without the other. All right, don't call unless you're calling to thank me.

C
Now I'm just kind of at a loss with the, with the whole, like, not being on time thing. So that was, that was a. Kind of a big discussion. And then when we went to sushi. God, here's another thing. Yeah, yeah, we squeezed in, we didn't have a reservation. Guy says, come in now, but you gotta leave at 6:30.
B
I'm not liking, I'm not liking this shit. I'm not liking. They gave away your table in the last story. This one coming early. What the fuck you gotta. What does a guy gotta do? You're literally a superstar in my opinion, in Hollywood, making movies stand up, selling out arenas, and you're jostling me in and out like a suburban dad. I'll get there when I get there. I'm not liking this. I'm really not liking these stories. It's like hearing, you know, any, any comedian that you've loved 30 years going, all right, I rushed in, they said, I gotta eat quick.
C
Listen, if the, if, if the people that were working at these joints, right, the, the host. The host or not the host don't know if the host was 50 years old and an Italian housewife. Yeah, I get a table, no problem.
B
All right, all right.
C
But I'm dealing with a 22 year. Who could give a shit about accommodating anything, right?
B
I don't mean to put you on the spot anyway. All right, so you gotta. You're being rushed. You're being rushed.
C
I'm being rushed. You know, we're in the. Listen, we get there, guy goes, need the table back by 6:30. Could you just, you know.
B
Were you on the COVID Honestly though, what was it this, the last month? You were on the COVID of one of these magazines, right?
C
Us Weekly. Yeah.
B
Us Weekly. Cover the magazine. I gotta be out by 6:30.
C
Okay, Us Weekly. And go.
B
Let'S go. Oh, yeah, go.
C
So, so.
B
Oh, man.
C
I go, lana, just order for us. You know, like, I don't care. Like when it comes to, like, food, it's just like, get whatever. I, I don't care. Just get whatever. So we are on a time limit. Lana opens up the menu. And just the way she opens up the menu, I'm like, this is, this is gonna be forever, you know, like, like, like if somebody tells me, order quick and this is the menu, right? Order. Quit. Okay, okay, this is, this to me is quick. This is my wife. This is my wife.
B
Oh.
C
Waitress comes. Do you recommend?
B
Recommend?
C
We're doing Recommendations.
B
Get the. Hey, get the.
C
Get the rolls and let's go.
B
That's what I thought you were gonna say. You don't even open the menu. Be like, thank you, I don't need it. You got dynamite roll. Give me two dynamite. Like, you know, you're just yelling it out. That's like, yo, that's what I'm thinking, speed wise. But, bro, this is what I.
C
This is what I did. I couldn't watch it. I couldn't. I left the table to go to the bathroom. I excused myself from the table, and I figure I cannot watch what's happening here because I'm getting so. Like, I got anxiety.
B
Yeah.
C
So. And I did have to go to the bathroom, but I figured this is a good time. I took a piss, I washed my hands. I was in there for two and a half, three minutes. I come out, she's still ordering. Oh. So I come back and I'm still hot. Now I'm saying I thought I was gonna come back and come back to the thing. And I come. I come back. I come back to this. We're now. We're now. The. The. The server is like, oh, which one? That. They're both looking at the menu with the. With the finger. Oh, God. So again, I'm hot. Well, I got. I gotta, like. I got like. I don't know if pot. Is pot the key? I'm too high strung when it comes to this, man. Too much is triggering me. Too much.
B
You know, the. The answer is in the mail. It's already. I sent it out about two, three days ago. It should be coming any day to that name. Seriously. It might even be here today. It might even be here today. But listen, you know what I was thinking? Why don't you start to do this like what the airlines did, like 20 years ago when they started to. A flight would only take an hour, Remember? Then about 20 years ago, all of a sudden, they'd start to say, the flight's an hour and 45 minutes. And we would all be like, what? Turns out the flight was still an hour. But they programmed us to. To go where they're saying, give us an hour and 45, though, we're going to have to die. And there'll be a delay. And we all pre. We all wrapped our head around that new time. So when you're, like, when Lana's getting out of the car at the school and you're saying 10 minutes, you should start to say to yourself, half hour. Sit back, maybe put on some. Some music like. Like Give a new realistic expectation.
C
I think you're right.
B
Do we change, bro? Does anyone change? I mean, me, my wife. I do about the same shot. Do tell me an example how you change the behavior that you've changed. Other than calling sushi sush. You stopped calling it soush. That's the only change you've ever made that I could think of in 12 years of casting. I can't even hear that. Jesus.
C
Oh, God. Yeah. I haven't said that in a while. God, how have I changed? You know what? It's not that I have changed. I have recognized my flaws. And I think that's half the battle. I just feel like I'm always recognizing what's wrong with me and my wife is not recognizing what's wrong with her. Right. Okay. That's what I feel. I go, I know I'm impatient. I know I'm hanging onto stuff too long. And I'm trying to work on not doing that. That's all I'm admitting. I got a problem and I'm trying to not have that problem anymore. I just wish Lana would say, I know I'm late and I'm working on. That's all I'm looking for is an acknowledgement of the wrongdoing and that you're working towards being better at that. That's all.
B
Right.
C
Too much to ask?
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
It's just really words too. Honestly. She doesn't even have to mean it.
C
No, just.
B
Just, you know, just say it.
C
Yeah, just say it. That's all I'm looking for.
B
Right? So. Oh, no. Yeah, man, I hear that. I'm going to a Christmas Eve party with the. They have a priest who does mass and they set up chairs in the living room. Psyched to check that out.
C
Wait, what Christmas Eve party with a priest?
B
The family, Jackie's good friend, the ones that live in Rochester. They have a big Christmas Eve party And at about 2:30 in the afternoon, a priest comes to the house and does a full mass in the living room. And in the living room of their home, they set up all these folding chairs. They got a big living room with a vault and ceiling and stuff. So they set up all these folding chairs and they have mass, Christmas Eve mass in the living room.
C
Does that count?
B
I'm counting it. Are you kidding me?
C
Yeah, but, like, counts.
B
See, I don't know. I don't know. I think he brings his own body of Christ.
C
It was like a mobile mass.
B
Yeah. You hire out, bro. Why not? You do privates?
C
I do privates. So does the priest, what do you think the cost. What do you think he charges for a private mass in the living room? That's a lot of work. You got to bring. You got to bring the body of Christ. You got to bring the wine.
B
Yes. And these. Well, these are people of a certain level of wealth. So it's not like, you know, does everybody there.
C
Has he got altar boys, too, or is he just him?
B
I. I don't know what he has, but they do it every year. And I know a lot of friends and family come because then they have a dinner afterwards, but the dinner is not for another five hours. So we were like, do you mind if we don't stay for the dinner? Sadie's only 12, and they're like, oh, most people don't. They just stay for the mass and some hors d'. Oeuvres. So, like, you know, I think it's, like, a cool thing to be invited to. And I think I'm expecting big things. I mean, I remember when we did Kevin Can Wait, and Kevin James had a priest he was friends with who'd come a lot, and this priest would wear stuff. I never saw a priest where before. Like, this guy was wearing shit that, like, you wear if you're going to have dinner with the Pope. Like, special fucking crazy robes dangling, like. He looked like beyond just a priest. So that's what I'm expecting from this guy, you know? I mean, if he comes in with, like a North Face jacket over the cloak. Oh, God.
C
Oh, no, no, no.
B
You gotta. You know what I'm saying?
C
Like, yeah, you gotta have. If you're gonna dress as a priest with the whole garb, you have to have a priest winter look. You can't start putting normal clothing over the holy garb. You gotta have, like, an overcoat. But it's like, I don't know, like, fur or like something that looks like God. You know what I'm saying?
B
Right? Like a big wool black blanket or something, like just something special. And, like, just to keep the holy man warm. But, yeah, no. So I'm looking forward to that. I don't know how this is gonna play out, like, as far as the bread and the kneeling.
C
And I'm.
B
But I'm looking forward to it, guy. I'm thinking about doing a little dosing, if you know what I'm saying, that what they call it dabbing, whatever the.
C
They call it dabbing.
B
Did the thing you said, the guy did when the wife said, don't come into the house until you take one.
C
Of your you're gonna have a little gummy or whatever. That's. Yeah.
B
Oh yeah, I might have a gu. Have a gummy before. Before today. Is that what we call it? Seems a little. Why childish?
C
Is that something that's. That's special. You were going to do that anyway, if you.
B
What are you talking. I don't do gummies that often. I haven't done a gummy in a long time.
C
What are you talking about? Well, I'm talking about like you.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're right. What am I talking about? I'm going to step outside, get a little fresh air before this thing.
C
That's what I'm saying. It's not like it's thinking.
B
I don't even know what I was thinking.
C
I don't even know what I was thinking. Yeah, I mean, so.
B
So, yeah, absolutely.
C
This. This is what I don't want to see. And I was hoping you could maybe stick around for this. But after the mass, right?
B
Yeah.
C
Does the priest still stay in his priest look or do you think he like. I don't want to see the priest having a drink with Hokas on like sneak, you know, like I need to see the priest at all times in slippers or.
B
I just.
C
I don't want to see him in everyday garb.
B
I don't know if he hangs. I mean, I gotta figure 2:30, this.
C
Guy'S hanging, believe me.
B
Well, there's a lot of. There's a lot of old money in this area. You know what I mean? There's a guy, Danny Wegman, owns Wegman Supermarkets. I gotta figure this priest is bott hopping over there hitting that family with the body of Christ at some point too. I mean this is a 2:30 start. That seems very specific. He may be doing every two hours and then the New Year's Eve. I mean the Christmas Eve, the midnight. I don't know where he is for that. That's like triple the money. That's insane to pay for him for that.
C
Oh, I. I don't even think he's doing the midnight. I think he's doing this to avoid the whole midnight thing. He's like, forget the midnight thing. I'm not staying up that late. I would think they give the midnight mass to like the low rung priest. Or do you think they get the best priest to do Christmas Eve midnight mass?
B
If you're the best priest. If you're the best priest and you can pick your mass. Do you, do you want midnight mass or Christmas morning mass? What do you want?
C
I go, Christmas morning too late on a midnight run for Christmas Eve. Gotta stay up. It's like, would you want to do a midnight show?
B
Oh, God, no. No, I'd rather do a Christmas morning show. For sure.
C
Yeah.
B
Everybody's happy. Yeah. Yeah.
C
But I don't know. I don't know who they give that to. You know, like, on a, on a flight, they give first class to the best flight attendant because it's, it's actually not that much work. Like, if you're a rookie, you're in the back with the sheep, right? You're. You're.
B
Yeah, yeah, You're.
C
You're, you know, shoveling, you know, 148 drinks to.
B
Yeah, right.
C
Yeah, yeah. But so I'm wondering, in the, in the, in the church, is Christmas Eve mass like Holy Grail? Man, if you're doing that, you're like headlining the Garden, you know? Like, is that like something that priests are hoping to get Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve? Yeah.
B
I don't know. And, like, I don't know about that. But when you're going and doing a home and they're paying you to come to that home, is it a donation to the church or is it, like, is there a kickback from the church? Like, like, how does that work? Do you tip them on the side?
C
Yeah. Is there a tip involved in that? Is that you get. Do you give the priest a tip?
B
And if I asked the priest if I said, thank you for coming, Father. It was a pleasure to meet you, do you have more. Do you do more of these masses all day? Do you go around to other homes? Do you think he'd even answer me? Or you think he'd be like, merry Christmas to you, son? The out of here? You know, I don't know.
C
No, I. Because I'm dying to know. Yeah, ask. Ask the guy. Ask. Are you. You knocking three or four of these out? And what do you get for this? Because we might want to do it next year.
B
And I got. Before I forget, we don't have to show it now if you want to move on. But I don't want to forget to tell you I have a video I want to show you where I'm dying to get one of your. What do you think they're getting for this takes?
C
All right, throw it up, Throw it up.
B
All right. You know what I'm talking about, right, Patrick?
C
Got it.
B
Okay, now this is. This is. A friend of mine did this. He's actually wearing the cast T shirt in the video Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. And we grew up on Long Island. We love Billy Joel, Billy Joel's band, for years, they did every album with him except the last one. Then he let them go, and he went with a younger band for now. The past 20, 30 years, he's been touring with a younger band. And these guys, you know, who knows, they don't get royalty money, if not, not that much. So you can now pay to have Billy Joel's original band. The Drummer is Liberty DeVito, and they will play with you. And my buddy's on the drums in the back, too. He's got the cast T shirt on. So this is Billy Joel's original band members. Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. That's the original clarinet player and sax guy. So you're the drummer for Billy Joel's band for all his albums, his whole tour. And then about 20, 30 years ago, you don't. You get let go, and you're doing that. What do you think you're getting for that, man?
C
First of all, I don't know. How many guys. Could we. Could we go back and count? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Is there another drummer back there? 10. Yeah, there's another drum.
B
Well, the one drummer that has the cast T shirt, that's my friend.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
B
And he's drumming next to Billy Joel's original drummer. Hold on.
C
Let's start from this side. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 people up there right now. Are you there? Are you watching this? Are you filming this?
B
You sent it to me. No, no, no. God, no. Where somebody. I don't.
C
Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. What is that?
B
I don't know. All I know is a friend of mine from high school sent it, and he's like, check it out, Petey. We went to Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. I'm playing drums next to Liberty, and, like, the guy playing the clarinet and the other one playing the sax, they're from Billy Joel's original band, you know, So I just thought it was unbelievable.
C
Here's my take on this. Here's my take on this. Number one. First thing that popped out at me is, like, if you're gonna perform and I don't know where this is, but if you're gonna. If you're gonna do any type of performance, all right? You can't go up there dressed like you just got back from a barbecue, all right? So. So let's throw it up there. Just the way this looks right now, you can't fucking go on stage with your kneecaps exposed. You know, what is this? No one looks like they're. This. It looks like everybody is doing a solo performance. There's no. There's no cohesiveness. This doesn't look like a band, bro. It looks like a fucking clop of shit. Look at this.
B
But that's what it is.
C
It's.
B
Bro, it's like, you know, it's clearly like a meeting room in a hotel. I don't think there's an audience. I think if you want to play with your favorite band, you meet there and you get to jam with them and get the experience. It's like having a catch with Derek Jeter. I don't know what that would cost you either.
C
There's no audience. What do you mean there's no audience?
B
There's no audience. It's like the camp. A camp? I mean. Yeah, it's a rock and roll. Look at the sign. Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. You go to this place?
C
What. What is.
B
Yeah, pull this up.
C
I don't know what the fuck I'm watching here.
B
We have no staff. No, that's not. They're not like performing for people. They're just performing for each other.
C
You. You mean to tell me the whole. The whole band rented a banquet room at the Best Western and decided that. Wait, hold on. Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp offers immersive, multi day experience where musicians of all levels from bands rehearse with rock star. So rehearse. Okay, so these are people. This is what it is, bro. These are people that pay to go to this thing.
B
Yeah.
C
And you could play with the band.
B
Right?
C
Okay. Did he.
B
My speaking man. Your dreams come true.
C
Yeah, but, but did you. Did he explain? He. I. He explained it like, this is Billy Joel's band.
B
I eased into it because I already knew what it was.
C
Okay. Okay, bro, I'm sitting there going, oh, this is his entire band that is touring without Billy Joel. That. That's what I thought. This. No, I was looking at.
B
No, no, no, no, no, no.
C
So this.
B
Yeah.
C
Okay, so this is other people that pay money to play with the band. That's why this looks like shit. Okay.
B
Yeah.
C
This is a whole different thing now. Okay, so let's say the guy in Yellow paid $300 to play with the band, right?
B
I think he's from the band, actually, but go ahead. Yeah, yeah, I think so. I'm pretty sure. So the guy singing.
C
Looking at this photo, I can't tell who's with the band and who's paying to be with the band.
B
Right? So I know the guy is your.
C
Buddy with the casting on?
B
Yes.
C
Did he pay to be with the band or does. Is he in Billy Joel's band? Right.
B
Yeah, let's just keep it with. Let's not even do the whole band, but yeah. The guy to the left with the cast T shirt pays to be at the rock and roll camp. And this is his friend singing, by the way. So neither one of them are famous. Now, the guy he's next to drumming is, like, I said, Liberty DeVito, who was Billy Joel's drummer for all those years on all the albums except the last one, and then they had a falling out. And then the guy in the white hair. I'm not sure who he is, but I would imagine he's in from the band, too. But like a guy. Like the drummer. I mean, this guy was Scenes from an Italian restaurant, only the Good Diet, all of them. He was in the recording studio banging those drums. Okay, what is he getting to be here to do? This is my question. Like, is he just doing this out of his love of the music, or. I mean, is this.
C
No, no. My question is, what. What did your buddy pay to do this?
B
That's a good question, too, man. We get a price.
C
Could you fire him up and go, how much did you pay to go to the. To the Best Western and play with the band?
B
I will. Yo, we're casting right now. How much did you pay to do the rock and roll fantasy camp with Liberty DeVito? And was that at a hotel? All right, he should get back to me pretty quick.
C
Okay, so if somebody comes up. Somebody comes up to you and goes, pete, we're doing comedy fantasy camp, and we're gonna. We're gonna pay you to do, like, improv with people that are fans of yours. So they get to come up on stage and they. You're gonna, like, do an improv scene with them. Right, right, right. Now, is this something like, Where are we going?
B
What's the comparison? Like, the comparison is, like, can they. You. You meet with them and you. They do take a couple of your bits, and then they practice them with you, and then they go to a club and they go on. I don't know.
C
I don't know.
B
Like, the minute you say they meet with you, I'm like, I'm out.
C
Like, isn't the whole idea of the band. You had to work your ass off to be a part of a band with Billy Joel, and now you could pay four grand and you're drumming next to Billy Joel's drummer? I don't know it sounds.
B
And this is what's blowing my mind about it. My dad was part of this architecture firm, and there was a guy who was an architect in my dad's firm, and he used to be the drummer in a band called Looking Glass when he was younger. And Looking Glass had one hit, it was called Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. You might know that one. But my life, my love and my lady is the sea, it still comes on. And I met him once at my grandmother's funeral. And I was in high school. I was like, wow, you were in that band and now you're an architect? And I said, do you get any money from it still? And he goes, I get. At the end of every year, I get a royalty check just for being the drummer on the song Brandy, you're a fine girl. He goes, the guy who wrote it gets most of the money, but he goes, for me, it usually comes out to between seven and 13 grand every year for the past 30 years is usually what I end up getting just for being the drummer. Liberty DeVito was the drummer on a zillion great fucking tunes that Billy Joel made. So this guy's gotta be bringing in, say like 250,000 easy, just not getting off his ass. So I don't know what the. What? I can't figure it out, man. I can't. It's perplexing me. It's right up there with the first season of the cast when what's his face from Quantum Leap was flying coach and Scott Bakula was in coach and my mind was exploding. Oh, God, nothing. Crickets from the guy, anyway.
C
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to say about it. I really don't. Fantasy camp offers a multi day. Jesus Christ. People get the add ons like groupy or roadie passes, features, famous rocks, killing alive and friend. Okay, all right.
B
Brewer goes to Metcamp every year. Every for years. He has. He loves it, man. They play baseball games and you have met players on your team. It's big time. This is. Yeah, it's wild. Some of the stuff people are into anyway, man, it's all fascinating. I just. I don't know. I got nothing.
C
Guys like, here's the price. Headliner Rockstar 101, six grand, be a headliner. Junior rockers, they even charging kids to do this shit. Four grand, man cave backstage. But they got all these different tiers. They're soaking.
B
Oh, wow.
C
They're soaking people raw here, man.
B
I tell you, when I slide into my 60s, I think I'm gonna start charging people to have an espresso with me every day. $500, you get to have an espresso with me for a half hour.
C
Oh, man.
B
Gonna have a little egg timer. As soon as that thing dings, I pop up. You could be right. You could be going in. My mom passed away. Dang goodbye out. Oh, that'd be nice.
C
Wow, that's a beautiful, beautiful. All right, what are we at here? Do you think? You think we got.
B
Yeah, we're good. We can piece it together. For my podcast. I'm trying to ask everybody, have you ever heard of a guy named Scott Bakula? Scott Bakula?
C
No. No. I know a few Scots.
B
How about Scott Bakula? Bakula. They don't ring a bell?
C
No.
B
Fair enough. All right. There's a woman here in the laundromat. It's a little embarrassing, but I'll go ask her. Maybe. Maybe the women know more than the men do. Excuse me. Sorry to bother you. While you're doing your laundry. Can I ask you a question? Have you ever heard of somebody named Scott Bakula? Is he the lead singer or Stone Temple pilot?
C
No.
B
No, he's not. That would be Scott Weil. And, miss, by the way. Hey, have you guys ever heard of an actor named Scott Bakula? You have heard him?
C
Yeah.
B
You know what he's from. You remember?
C
I just got. No.
B
How about you, miss? Scott Bakula. I think he's from Puerto Rico. No, not Puerto Rico. Well, there you have it, folks. For the past hour and a half, I have pounded the LA streets like a young and hungry Barbara Walters. I asked 11 people, and 11 people have never heard of Scott Bakula. Never heard of the man. I'm floored. I'm utterly floored. We're talking over 200 hours starring on network television, and what does Scotty B. Get in return? A window seat in coach right next to the engine. This is Pete Corieli of the Pete and Sebastian Show.

Hosts: Pete Correale & Sebastian Maniscalco
Podcast Network: Studio71
In this lively and characteristically candid episode, Pete and Sebastian riff about the chaos of family life, aging, and the daily comedy woven into parenting and marriage. Along the way, they muse about generational differences, discipline methods, the oddities of celebrity life, and the surreal experiences fans can now buy, like fantasy camps with famous musicians. The banter is as sharp as ever, with quotable lines and self-deprecating humor on full display.
| Timestamp | Segment/Topic | | ---- | ---------------- | | [01:18] | Technical Difficulties, Old Guy Vibes | | [06:35] | Parenting & Morning Chaos | | [09:00] | Flakiness, Consequences, Family Discipline | | [12:06] | True Crime & Generational Worries | | [14:27] | Family Time Out (Restaurant Stories) | | [20:38] | Old-School Discipline: “Throwing Shoes” | | [26:03] | Celebrity Life: Still Waiting for Tables | | [28:05] | “Order Quickly”—Family Restaurant Anxieties | | [31:28] | Adaptation in Marriage | | [33:04] | Christmas Eve Mass at Home | | [41:27] | Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp—Buy Your Fame | | [54:01] | The Search for Scott Bakula’s Fame |
The show is off-the-cuff, irreverent, and rooted in the everyday absurdities of adult life, parenting, and marriage. Pete and Sebastian’s chemistry is electric—full of quick jabs, vulnerable admissions, and the kind of banter only lifelong friends can pull off.
This episode is prime Pete & Sebastian: hilarious, revealing, and full of relatable frustrations, from wrangling kids to being put on a timer in a sushi restaurant as a celebrity. The discussions bridge observational comedy with real-life woes, and the memorabilia about discipline and old-school parenting is both funny and telling for anyone navigating adulthood or parenthood.
Skip to [26:03] for relatable celebrity frustrations in modern life, and [41:27] for one of the best breakdowns of the ludicrousness of “fantasy camps.”
