This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corieli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
B
Welcome back to the Pete and Sebastian show, another episode of fun and whatever the hell we bring to your life. Appreciate you guys listening. What do we have on the slate here today? Do we have. I feel like we didn't really get into.
A
You didn't. You didn't get into Mexico. You didn't really get into much of Critics choice. There was one other thing from the Progressive Party I wanted to tell you about.
B
Oh, okay. Yeah, start with that.
A
Go with that progressive Irishman again. I have. I have an. I have an opinion about the Irishman. Watch the whole thing again. Classic. Okay, first with the Progressive Party. Only thing I want to say, bro, how cringeworthy is this? Okay, as I said, the party is for two blocks so the neighbors can get to know each other. It's the ninth year they've had this, and it's for all the neighbors. It's this intimate thing. And you go for three hours from one house to the next, and no one has giant homes. So you're in these kitchens and these homes. It's very intimate. We get to the first home. Jackie and I, we go to this. We agree to do this. We don't know anybody. We walk in and the couple. Couple next door, live next door. So are fantastic. We really like them a lot. They're like, oh, yeah, you know who's here? The people whose house we bought are at this party. Oh, my God, bro, that's nauseating. How embarrassing is that? How embarrassing? I'm at your. I'm at the house. And listen. People listen to this cast. And people at the party were like, coming up and they were. Because none of my neighbors had said anything about knowing whether or not they know what I do or anything. People weren't asking. I wasn't asking what they do. And then someone at the party was like, so you do the podcast with Sebastian. I've had friends that seen you, you know. So I was like, oh, ok, so you do know. Yeah, no, we know. Or we had one neighbor when you first moved in who said, you know who that is? So. So I don't know. So I didn't know if they knew or not. So now I know that some of them listen. So I gotta. I gotta be delicate here. But when we moved into this house, quite frankly, we had to get the carpets ripped out. There was a little bit of a smell I told you about. There were things that had to be done. I don't want to see the by the way. By the way, I'll be honest. We turn the air conditioner on, and it was a slight drip. I had to call the air conditioner guy to come. I go, I can't figure out the leak. What's going on here? By the morning, there's a puddle in the basement. You need a whole new drip pan. With installation, it's like 500 for the drip pan, about another 450 for the. For the installation, for the new drip pan. And I go, no problem. We'll do that. Quick question. You think the previous owner knew it needed a new drip pan? He's like, absolutely. Now I'm at this party, I want to. I want to look over and be like, you. You knew about the drip pan. I know you knew about the drip pan. Right. You know, we should never be in the same world. Like, was it. I know it was one house removed, but that time you and Lana had hung out with a rod and jlo when they were together, was it a little weird knowing that she had the house built and lived there and now you live in it? Or was that, like, you know, there was one owner removed from both of you? Anyway, so two.
B
Two owners removed. Oh, and actually, I wanted to ask her more questions about this house than I had the opportunity. Primarily why she left, but.
A
Well, marriage stuff, too, was involved, wasn't it?
B
Like, I don't know exactly where she was in her life when she was at this house, but.
A
Yeah, anyway.
B
Yeah, I guess if you have a good experience in the house and you walk in and go, wow, these people were clean. Some believe this house is beautiful. We don't have to do anything. Everything's fixed. But when you walk in, like, the. What are they killing bodies in here? Then it's like a problem, right? I think if you walk into a house and it's got the drip, it's got a stain, mold, there's a beehive in the attic, then there's an issue.
A
But doesn't everybody? Even when I sold my house, I'm not saying, like, I pulled the wool over anyone's eyes, but there were, you know, little nipping tucks here where you're like, that's gonna have to be fixed in the next couple years, you know, But I'm not gonna, you know, point that out, you know, like, I'm not talking about anything major. But I also have to say, because I know people. Listen, they did do a lot of renovations. And the. And the. The base of this house looks great. Like, I can't wait for you to come visit. If that day I act like that's gonna happen, maybe. Maybe you guys will come out here. But I stand by what I said. But I. Like I said last cast. I'm trying to. And I. I used to be charming, and then I got to middle age and I got angry. And I don't know why. Like, I think there's other reasons beyond that. I'll keep to myself. Right now. I'm trying to get back to charming. Yeah. Is it working so far, bro? I got out of a whole big easy pass with New Jersey. It was becoming a problem. It was a gig I did with you out in Atlantic City. I was going toe to toe with these people and they kept jacking up my bill and I kept not paying it. And I was like, oh. But I got on the phone with this lady, charmed to the death. I said, maybe we can meet halfway on this thing. And she goes, I'll do you one better, sweetie. I'll get rid of the whole thing. I was like, oh, oh my God, this George Clooney shit's working. Charming everybody now.
B
I think that's the way to go, bro. You're not getting anywhere with anger. Anger ain't going to get you nowhere. I think.
A
I don't want to sound con. Conceited and I can only say this to you, but honestly. And it was a stage in my life, I had to lay off the charm and go more anger. Cuz I. I was very attractive. And it was easy for women to, like, get the wrong impression and very easy for them to fall. Yeah, it was becoming a slippery slope, bro. I don't know why Dennis Leary did the whole angry thing. Midlife. He was looking so good. He's like, I gotta go angry. These ladies are like, getting the wrong impression. I'm kidding.
B
Are you. Are you saying that?
A
Angry young man, bro. Angry young man.
B
Your. Your charm and your good looks were such a devastating combination that you had to go a completely different route because you might have been given off like a. A vibe where you were.
A
Absolutely, bro. I don't. I mean, just like leaning over to, you know, get up out of a coffee shop and like, to a woman next to me. I'm sorry, did my chair hit yours? I apologize about that. And then as I get up, she's like, oh, my God, is he gonna ask me for my number?
B
And I'm not.
A
So I'm like quietly breaking hearts all over New York City. There was a period guy. Whitney Cummings fell under it guy too.
B
Sure.
A
It happened. Hey, listen, it was like a three year period. It was a three year period. That's all.

A
Total joke, folks. But I am trying.
B
We get it. This is a podcast. Listen, I like the charming aspect. I like that you're going charming. I want to share something that I'm doing that's different.
A
Okay.
B
Did I tell you that I've unplugged from social media?
A
Yes, you have.
B
Okay, I told you this, so it's still happening. I haven't been on social media since December 14th. Wow.
A
It's great.
B
And it's been completely life changing for me. All right.
A
Awesome.
B
The time it's freed up for me. I've dove into my comedy more. I've been reading more. I've been sleeping better, by the way. I found out why I haven't been sleeping and it's because I've been sleeping on the wrong pillows for close to 20 years.
A
Wow.
B
I slept on a pillow on my vacation in Mexico that completely changed my sleep. My body aches, my neck. Unbelievable. As soon as I got home, I bought the pillows. I've been sleeping on the pillows. And according to the Oura ring and how I feel, it has changed my sleep pattern. I'm sleeping a lot longer, deeper. Unbelievable.
A
Are we gonna get the name of the pillow or is it like some secret pillow?
B
Frette is the company. Frette. I don't know the exact spelling of it, but they make linen. They're very popular brand.
A
What's the magic of it.
B
It's the softness of the pillow. It's f r e T T e frete pillows. I don't even know how much these pillows cost me, but it was one of those things where it's like, I don't care what it costs. Get me the pillow because I need to be sleeping on this. What are the $300 now that's reasonable. I haven't bought a pillow. It's $300 for a pillow. What would you say that falls in the land of pillows?
A
I would say that's a. That's got to be a quality pillow. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even call it the highest end pillow. I was. It's pretty modestly priced, I would say, considering the pillow has made a huge, like, it's become very. It's like the avocado. They came onto the scene like in the 90s and just. You know what I'm saying? It's very important to people. The pillow, it used to be. Shit, you could roll up your fucking shirt when you were a kid if you had to win a ball. Yeah, I do. The hard one that you like, what do you call it? Tempur pedic, where you sink into it, but when you hold it, it's hard and you think, no way. And when I first use it the first night, I'm like, I think I got a headache for this shit. My mother in law is like, give it a night or two. By the third night, I can't go without my tempur pedic pillow like that.
B
But those, they seem a little firm for my liking.
A
And while we're on pillow, I want to keep on this. I have because my brother just had hip surgery. So he was telling me about this pillow he's been, he's been sleeping with where his wife has to strap him in. And I remember it keeps your hip in place for like a week. And then I was telling him, oh, I use a pillow in between my legs for years so my knees don't touch. Right. I don't. Do you do pillow yet? Do you do that?
B
I've tried that. It just doesn't feel right. And I'm sorry, I have to say this when you say to me, yeah, The wife has to strap you in to go to sleep. Come on. That's all of the romances out of the.
A
Then he's doing. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to say too much, but yeah. Oh, forget it. It's over. But that's only during the heal Process. But I have a little pillow in my drawer. So when I go to bed, I take that out, and then Jackie's got one she doesn't really ever use. So I'm running them. I'm running them up and down from my groin or even at a hotel. I take the other pill, I put it between my groin, which is like. But I told, Listen, I told Jackie I'm in the hunt now. Went online last night to start looking for him. I'm going full length body pillow. Because what I've been doing lately now, I think I got a rotator cuff problem here. When I lay on my side, it hurts to have this arm come all the way down to the bed. That's too far. It wants to stay level. So sometimes I'll got a pillow between my legs. Then I'm hugging another pillow, right? Like I need like five. So now I'm gonna go full body pillow and like wrap around it like a telephone pole, you know, full body. I think I'm gonna try that.
B
This is a lot. This is a lot of propping up to go to sleep, man. And as long as we're talking about sleep, and I have to mention this on the cast, and I mentioned to you personally on a text to clue the audience in on what happened over the break. I FaceTimed you and you happened to pick up.
A
Oh.
B
And I was taking in the surroundings, right?
A
Giant woodpecker. I heard that.
B
And I noticed that you don't have a headboard on the bed. And I was startled. And I've done some research here, bro, before I'm bringing this to you. I've done some research. I've talked to people. Yeah. Not having a headboard at this age is unacceptable. Now, you said you're figuring it out, and I know you just moved in. I know you just moved in. You might be going, okay, how are we going to do this? This, that, and the other thing. So it might be in the process of getting a headboard, but when I saw it, I. I was like, God damn, I haven't seen that since college.
A
Oh, my God. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Well, listen this. All right now, folks, let me tell the listeners the other side of this.
B
Yeah.
A
So I'm on. I'm on the couch, and you facetime, right? And wasn't the couch.
B
Wasn't the couch. You were in your bedroom. I mean.
A
Yeah, you're right. We're on the. Watching TV in the bedroom, which we don't normally do. And you're in almost anytime, guy. I Have no problem picking up for you. You always make me laugh. And so it's nothing like that, but. But it was FaceTime. Whatever you FaceTime could be an accident. Could be your FaceTime of me. So I go to Jackie. I was like, you know, FaceTime me. And then she goes. She goes, if you don't pick up, he's never gonna. He's not gonna keep FaceTiming you, you know? And you, like. You guys think it's funny when you talk. I'm like, all right, all right. And it had stopped. So I FaceTimed you back, and you pick up. And I said, but, Jack, I'm in my glasses, I'm in my bed. And she's like, so what? Just, you know, So I do it. And then to the listeners, I'm not kidding you, this is two days later, I get a text out of nowhere from Sebastian. I gotta say, it's still bothering me that you don't have a headboard. It came two days later, as if he was sitting on it for two days. So I go to Jackie, I told you, here we go now. So then I go, and then you go. And I remember you didn't have one at your last house either, so.
B
No, I said, did you have one at your last?
A
I know, but that's the Maniscalco move. The whole family does that. It's this move where, like, you already know the answer.
B
No, I don't. I don't know the answer because I'm like. Because I thought maybe the headboard that you had at your old home is not going to work with the. With the decor for this bedroom. So we're going to go get a new headboard because this room doesn't, you know, it doesn't fit in or whatever. So I was trying to figure out, are these no headboard people or is.
A
This a. Yeah, I took it more like. Didn't you? Did you not have one at your last place? Like, that's how I took the text.
B
No, I'm. I'm trying to figure out, is this, like, hereditary or why. Why isn't there a headboard in place?
A
Why. Why is the headboard so mandatory? Now, in the last place we went with this beautiful, like, ship lap board that we bought that we had put up on the whole wall, which then we had, like, one of them Indian. What are the dream catcher things that the Indians use a giant one put over it. So it was like a whole. The whole wall was the headboard. So it was like. But now where we move now we do have to do something because right now it's just white. But Jackie said. But tell him we're probably not going to have a headboard. We haven't decided yet. We might just do something with the wall. So, like, who says Joanna Gaines could come on tomorrow and tell Chip, forget the headboard. We're going no headboard. And then now it'll be the whole rave, man. You know, you. You may as well wear the golf clubs emblem because you're really trying to. That's what you do. That's what headboard people do. They just try to fit in. So you may as well just wear the golf club's emblem like you said on the last show.
B
What a fall. Backing out. All right, listen.
A
Yeah, but we gotta give something.
B
Listen to me, full disclosure. I have two rooms in this home with beds in them with no headboard. Okay? Yeah, they're guest rooms.
A
They don't need them. You're right.
B
No, they need them. It's bothering me that I do not have a proper bedroom set in these. In these rooms. It's just, you know, we're remodeling the kitchen. We're getting around to it. But there's two beds on a frame and the. And the headboard is the wall. I'm sorry, and this goes out to the listeners out there. I would love to hear your response on this. Do you have a headboard? Okay.
A
He's.
B
Right away. Yeah. Like I asked Patrick and he responded as if I asked him, you got underwear on today? Yeah.
A
Really?
B
So a headboard is something that I. I'm sorry.
A
I love. Let's make that like a. Clip this one out. I'd love to find people's takeout. How many people have a headboard? How many people feel. Headboard is. Even if you have one. Is it necessary, though? That's what I don't like, like, why. All right.
B
I just don't think the wall up against the bed. There's got to be a separation. There's got to be something that makes the bed unified rather than like you wake up and your. Your head's against a wall. I.
A
As opposed to against the headboard. I mean. All right, man. You know, something to be said for that.
B
I don't know. I think we should look into a headboard, bro. I did. I had a head. I had no headboard, no frame, no nothing. I just had a bed and a box spring on the floor when I moved to Los Angeles in 1998. And I put it in the. In the corner of the room and I was like, this is the first time I'm living with no headboard. And I was. And I just. At the time, I couldn't afford a bed set or whatnot, so I just. That's, that's. That's what it was.
A
But, man, I. I felt.
B
I felt like nothing was holding the bed together. You know what I'm saying?
A
I felt, man, well, you know, after we decide we're going to do with the wall, maybe we'll go with a headboard. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. It's interesting, you know, I don't.
B
I don't.
A
Hey, miss it.
B
Does the Sadie have a headboard?
A
Yeah, she does. Because she's got a whole thing as a kid, a lamp and all that.
B
She's decked out with a headboard, a whole set, and you guys are slumming it with a.
A
With a wall. I made a family pitch the other day, which got shot down across the board. I was like, do you roll around a lot these days? Say, not really. I'm like, what do you think about switching over to a twin? I go, what do you got? She's got a queen. I'm like. I go, jackie, why does. Why do kids have queens now? What is. When did that become a thing? Why does every kid sleeping on a queen or king? I didn't grow up on that. You don't roll. You roll over, you fall off. Boom, that's it. So, you know, I go, she get half a room back. We could do another. Put a bed under there. When she's a friend, come do the pop up. Dad, I'm not sleeping on a twin. Oh, my God.
B
Guy kind of world are we living in? I agree with you and I tell you why. My kids are in queens too, right?
A
Yeah.
B
I think Lana grew up in a queen. I grew up on a twin. If you grew up on a twin, you don't float over to the other side because your body's almost trained to stay in that lane, right?
A
Absolutely. Yes. I was thinking about that the other day. I could sleep on the edge of a cliff. Just like, put me at my back is right up against it. Drop a thousand foot drop. I won't even move right. Because we're trained. Like you said, we know your space rolling around. You know, when you roll around, earn it, you make some money, you get in the real world, you get a big bed, you could roll back. I feel like. I feel like I sound like you're dad.
B
Because I believe Lana's always the one inching over to my side, right? The legs on that side. The head's creeping to me, and I'm like, on my side. No problem. Never infilt trading past that invisible imaginary line, right? Because she slept on a queen and she had the room, so now she's all over the map. I. I agree with you. Get her in a double. I might as well. Matter of fact, I might put my kids in a double tonight.
A
Double, bro, that's still extravagant, man.
B
Who is it? A twin. A twin. Same thing.
A
Yeah, same thing, you know? No, a double is two twins. That was our twins and a half. At least. At least two twins was a queen.
B
Two twins is a queen. Look that up. Two twins. Queen.
A
The same thing as a double.
B
A double's a twin.
A
Two twins and. And a little bit more make a queen, I think. Yeah, Queen's big. Queen's unnecessarily big.
B
That's small. Could you bring that up? Okay. Okay, here we go. I can't even see it. We got a whole chart. We got a dimensions guide. Of what? The BET. Why are they so small?
A
What are you gonna do, bro, when the day comes that you need readers? You're never gonna put them on. That's not you. That would be like. You can't do that.
B
No, I can't do that. But this is. He can't even see it. And this is, like, blurred out. It's like. It's like you can't even.
A
No, no, I believe that's not the case right now. I was just saying.
B
Yeah, no, I know. I, I, I, I do have an eyesight problem. I do have glasses that I tend not to wear for some reason. Mattress sizes and dimensions, okay? We got. For those of you listening at home, we got a crib. Small single, twin, twin xl. Full, full xl. Queen. Olympic Queen. Ever hear that?
A
I haven't. Let's see. Yeah, but see, the queen is bigger than a small single. All right, the twin. Two twins looks like it's about. Well, the Quinn seems. The queen seems longer. See, queen is way. It's the third. Third to the biggest.
B
The length on that queen is small, though. It's 60. I got a California King. 84. 72. Yeah, 84. It's wider. Ah, gotcha.
A
See, so Sadie was having some friends sleep over, right? And she's like, we can get a couple of air mattresses on the, on the floor. I said, I said, mom was talking to mom, and she said, was the day. Actually, you called the day. Anyway, I said, we can put you all in air Mattresses in another room. Or else if you're in your room, you can't get all the air mattresses in. And, you know, Sadie's like, well, I'll be on my bed. I'm like, you're gonna be on your bed and all your friends are laid out on the floor.
B
What the.
A
And then Jackie goes, she suggested the other day, well, we have two separate rooms. We could put two in one room. I go, two in one room, two in the other. Do you know what a sleepover is? I go, you stay up late, you chat, but that it's not lodging. Ho.
B
What the.
A
You know, I told say that she's like, no way. All one room. So, like, all right, well, then you all got it. And I go, that's what I said. You know, why don't you just get a twin bed and then you have more room for these things and you can all lay on the floor with all the. All the mattresses you want. Dad, I'm not sleeping on a twin. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did I take the food? You know, I hit it with the starving guy. I hit it with the starve people starving.
B
Does that work anymore? I've tried that.
A
It makes me feel better. Makes me feel better.
B
Yeah. I don't know if it's like, eat. That people are starving in the world.
A
And then like, yeah, I think we need to. We need to hire a couple of kids to just, like, dress real dirty and, like, sit in a puddle like in some neighborhood and, like, eat. Eat an apple core. And I'm going to go, I'm going to show you starving kids. And the police play is. When I get there, you throw an apple out of the car and the kid's gonna crawl over and thank you for it, you know? Then when you drive away, the kid's gonna get up, cut, you know, we'll give him like, three bills for it. You know, so it's a whole fake scene, but, like, they need to see something. You know what I mean? Words ain't working.
B
They need to.
A
No, no, no.
B
The starving ain't working there. People are starving in the world, and you're not eating your thing yet. They got Santa's wallet.
A
And we're talking one of them new. One of our new sponsors of Brooklyn Twin bed, too. We just got one of these beauties.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah. I got one, too.
A
So I'm not even Talking, like a 99 Best Buy, you know, big lots mattress.
B
A thousand dollar bed.
A
Oh. Oh, yeah. I tell you, man. Oh, My God, bro, you know, I almost did. I almost sipped my. My espresso and almost said, these kids today.
B

This is what I call a slipper you wear. Bro. This is a slipper you wear sitting down, drinking a cup of coffee in the living room. As soon as you have to walk, you take your foot out of it and you leave it there. These are sit down slippers. You don't walk in these.
A
Yeah, but I don't. Maybe you make them like your. I don't know how your garden's coming, but maybe you Marlon Brando these things and they're your garden slippers. When you want to sit in your garden with a wine and you just want your outdoor slippers, they need to be broken in. Don't give up on them, man. They're very you. I know.
B
So that's. That's the slipper. What do you got?
A
First? I thought I'd show you.
B
Oh, my God. Bro. Bro, you gotta.
A
Oh, my God. This is.
B
Oh, my God. This is worse than no headboard.
A
This is the beast. The beast I'm bringing. Oh, my God, bro. Walking through Wegmans with these, That's.
B
You might as well be a snow bunny.
A
Oh, my God. That is an Aspen special. Oh. Oh, but by the way. By the way.
B
Oh, my God, bro.
A
Every penny, bro. Worth every penny.
B
Every penny, bro, that. Oh, my.
A
You don't even know when United says one bag per person. Really? Maybe two. Maybe one you don't know about. Maybe one you don't know about.
B
Whoa.
A
I still stand by that purchase, man.
B
Bro, Bro, That's a lapse in judgment, bro. That. There's no way you're going to be doing this.
A
Look at this pad, path, passport. Passport.
B
Yeah, but you gotta take your shirt off to get to it, bro.
A
Ah. So does the bad guy. Oh, my God, bro.
B
What in the hell.
A
Man? I might just start wearing it on the regular.
B
Oh, God, man. That's another level.
A
A little show and tell on the Pete and Sebastian kids. Oh.
B
Caruso plays organized basketball. He's not a huge fan of basketball.
A
Really?
B
Yeah, he's more of a soccer football guy. But I just feel like he's A little too young. He's on the younger side in the league and he's small and, you know, he's just. He's not getting the full experience of basketball because I just think of his size. So I wanted to take him to a professional basketball game to see. So we could sit there and I could tell him how the game's played. And not that I know a lot about basketball, but I just. The games that he's playing, they're all running after the ball together. Nobody's spread out, nobody's passing. So game.
A
No explanation needed, man. It's a childhood memory. He was probably like wide eyed.
B
Now, I've often wrestled with this. Oh, the first time I went to a basketball game, I was sitting up in the obstructed view. And, you know, and now I appreciate. When I go lower, you know, I guess fuck that, you know, this is the life I'm living. And if we're gonna sit courtside, we're sitting courtside. That's it.
A
All right. Yeah, of course, bro.
B
Of course. So we go, me and him, guys, night. Put him in the back seat, right? I almost put him in the front seat, to be honest with you. I mean, this. This backseat shit, it's like, how long are we gonna keep the kids back there? When did Sadie start sitting in the front seat? How old?
A
Oh, man, four. Long time ago, man. Yeah, that's why.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, I think it's longer in where you are, man. Everything's longer and more and more annoying where you are. So. Yeah, I think it's. Is it a height thing or an age thing? I don't know which one it is.
B
I looked it up. You got to be 4 foot 9 at least 4 foot 9 to sit in the front seat. Generally speaking, they say 13 years old, you move up to the front seat.
A
Okay, okay.
B
All right.
A
Whoa, wait long now. What if you're a little person? If you're picking up a friend and they're a little person, do they have to sit in the back by law?
B
Great question.
A
Or.
B
Great question.
A
Or is there.
B
I don't know. 4 foot 9 is the height requirement, though. And he ain't 4 foot 9. So he's in the back. But we're talking. We're going downtown. We're going to the Intuit Dome. Not downtown Inglewood. We're going. So we're driving. I'm talking to him in the back. Nice. You know, we got like a good back and forth. It's. It's a good guy time.
A
Absolutely.
B
I get him out of. Sounds great. Get him out of the car. Snaking through. We go to the little lounge there. I go, you want any food? He's like, no, Daddy, am I right? And then we come across Jolly Ranchers. And he goes. He gives that. He loves Jolly Ranchers. His eyes get wide open. I go, you want one? Yeah, Daddy, want one. I said, let's get two. I'll get two, and you get two. And he goes, yeah, we'll get the same colors, and we'll put them in our mouth at the same time, and we'll see which one dissolves first, mine or yours. All right, Little games we're playing, you know.
A
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
B
Go to the seats. We sit down. Right now, he don't know anybody.
A
Like, he.
B
This is like, listen. He don't know that the front row is the front row. You know what I'm saying? He just.
A
In life, he knows.
B
Yeah, he might think that. Of course, when we go to a game, we sit in the front, right? So I tell him, listen, this is. Not. Everybody gets to sit here, right? This is a special thing that we get to sit up front.
A
All right?
B
He goes, oh, okay, Daddy. I go, look at how close these guys are. So we're looking at the. The shoes, how big the feet are, you know? So look at his feet. Two of daddies, right?
A
It really is. Yeah. It's the same thing with football. When you're up close to these guys, they are just incredible athletes. Specimens, man. What's. Just Big, big dudes. Incredible.
B
Yeah, it's. And the game starts, and I'm. I'm showing them. Look at. Look at how they move the ball. Look at. Look at the. Looking for the guy who's open. The guy who's Gets a nice clean shot. They're not forcing it.
A
Oh, my God. Guy. I can't even. I'm courtside. You're my dad. I'm like, bro, save it for home. I don't. I don't think that. I don't think the NBA game is the time to teach the game. It's time to just enjoy the game being played at a high level. Maybe. Maybe a comment here or there, but this sounds.
B
I'm just telling. I just, like. I'm telling him what he's seeing.
A
Okay? I go. They pass. I go.
B
Look at how they pass the ball. Look at how they pass the ball.
A
I apologize. I apologize.
B
Telling them the game, man.
A
All right?
B
Look at the defense. He's. When he's up on the. You know, that's not the whole game.
A
Fuck it.
B
It's a two and a half hour game. I got to talk about something.
A
No, you're right.
B
You're right.
A
You're right. I apologize. I apologize. I'm hearing it now. My head. It makes sense. Yeah.
B
So then, you know, the players fall. Fall down. They get back up. There's a guy that comes out and wipes the sweat off. I go, that guy is in charge of making sure that there's no moisture on the court. He wipes up the scrape. I'm just giving him the whole.
A
Who are they playing?
B
Do you remember Celtics? By the way, the Celtics are looking fantastic this year, even without this. Tatum. They're looking great. They got killed. And this is where I want your opinion. Of course, I'm assessing what this is going to look like, leaving the arena.
A
All right.
B
I generally do not stay to the end of any event that I ever go to due to the fact that I want to get out of there to beat the traffic. All right. Yeah. There's seven minutes left in this game. The Clippers are down 25 points. Would you leave the game?
A
Oh, you went through Clippers game?
B
Yeah, Clippers.
A
Oh, did you. Who were they? Were the tickets a gift from the Clippers organization or one of the players.
B
Or something like that? They were.
A
If, if they were up 25, maybe leave. They're down 25. I feel like, what's the difference, you guys? You feel like you got to stay till the ship goes down. I. I was. I was thinking about your situation with that. I was thinking about it especially as your kids get older and you're going to go to more stuff and, you know, obviously you're gonna get invited to stuff forever. Here. I think I found the solution to your problem with all that. I'm not even trying to be funny. Mentally, you need to wrap your head around when you go to these things. When it ends, it doesn't end for you. If it's a show, maybe we're going to go backstage and say hi to the performer. If it's a game, maybe we'll get in the locker room and meet one of the players. Or at the very least, we'll go down the field, take a photo. We'll. We don't rush out. We let the rush rush out. And then we do, like, try doing a half hour later, see how that plays out. It might be very pleasant. And if you make that, your kids know. When we go with my dad, we don't rush out. We let everyone else rush out. Then we go. It's way more. Because I feel like you always, you're putting yourself through this mental thing at the end. Am I insulting this guy? Am I going to miss something?
B
I like it.
A
Unless you're not having a good time, then just leave.
B
I might just. I might close the joint down. They might have to kick me out of there.
A
You know, I'm saying. And I think the organization may be like, oh, man, he came back, he said hi to the players. Like you have. You could probably say hi to the players, bro. You're very famous. You play where they play. Holy shit. You're like, you know, you tell your son, you know this, especially with Stan, that he's like, you play here. I stand there. I stand in the middle when you play here. That's cool, man.
B
It was a great experience. It was really fun. And that's another one of my New Year's quote resolutions is doing more of. Like I told Lana, I go, I want to do more like, yeah, we love the family time, but I also like the kind of one on one time, me and Caruso. The next time, me and Serafina will do something together. You know, having that. Cause they did a girls night. They did like, they watched Parent Trap and Pop Popcor and they had their own little thing going on here at the house. And then we were communicating. What are you guys doing? What you got? And we showing them pictures of games and stuff. It was cool. It was cool.
A
So.
B
So that's that. Tell me, what's your take? The Bears are in the playoffs.
A
Yeah. There we go. Well, I don't know when the show comes out, but yeah, Bears are in.
B
Well, I mean, they're. The playoffs game is coming up Saturday. Now, I'm going to say three years ago, I don't know if you remember this, I was at the NFL draft and when the Chicago Bears took. I forgot the guy's name as a cornerback, I went up on stage to give the announcement that who the Bears were. But I was with Matt Forte, who was a running back for the Chicago Bears. Now when we went out together, I didn't say anything. Matt Forte did all the talking. I was just there, right. And this is the way it was set up backstage. Matt's gonna, da, da, da, da, da. Got a comedian here. And then they're gonna. Fine. So I didn't say nothing. Yeah, I got an email shortly after I did that from one of the owners of the bears, from the McCaskey family. Thank you so much for being a part of this. Anything we could ever do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Wow. Okay. Since then I've been. I've publicly criticized the ownership of the Bears so far as to say I think the Bears need to sell the team. You have?
A
Why? Why do you say that? I haven't heard you say that stuff. Like, what would make you say that? Like an example.
B
I don't know. No Super bowl since 1985. No, no.
A
Oh, you meant like specifically like they fired a coach or they just.
B
Just in general. Not, not, not a successful.
A
I like the Jets. How I feel about the jets organization, it's beyond. It's beyond. It's not even a fun. Yeah, it's. Yeah. Okay.
B
Beyond repair.
A
But the owners now, were they. The owners when they had McMahon and they had the super bowl shuffle?
B
Well, what happened was it was George Hallis. That's a great question. Was, was, was Hallis a lot. No, I don't think Halas hallis died in 1982, I want to say. So what happened was Hallis had a daughter, someone married his daughter, the McCaskeys, and the McCaskeys inherited the team. That's what happened.
A
And if they were running the team for the super bowl shuffle, you don't give them a lifetime pass as ownership for that incredible two or three year period, even though you only won one Super Bowl, Right?
B
Yeah. Find out when George Hal has passed away. I think it's 1982. And who was the owner of the Bears at the time? Time. George hallis died in 1983. Papa bear. And then the Bears won. Okay. So upon George's death, the team was passed to his eldest daughter, Virginia Hallis McCaskey.
A
Okay. So it's basically still in the family.
B
It was still in the family. So two years it went to the dog. So I credit the Hallis family for the Bear Super bowl win. McCaskeys weren't involved yet.
A
Okay. I don't know if you don't have any. 40 years, no super bowl, but just the other new ownership is like a random thing. You have to be like. Like for the Jets, I can give you. We had Sam Donald. We let him go. We could have drafted to Josh Allen. We never did.
B
Just.
A
It goes on and on and on. They haven't been in a Super bowl in my lifetime.
B
Okay, so what is it?
A
What? So it's not the, it's not the ownership. It's just a bad run, you guys, you know, Bad run.
B
I don't know. The jets are on a bad run.
A
No, we have Bad ownership.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah. But, like, what happened? So were you yelling this stuff when you did the drafting with them or since the draft thing?
B
Were you yelling since the draft? I'm. I. Bro, I don't know if they heard it or. I don't know. I'm just saying, sell the thing, whatever.
A
You know, they're just joking anyway.
B
Yeah, I'm just, you know, a frustrated fan.
A
Boom.
B
I need your take on this, though. I emailed the guy that emailed me, and I said, hey, just want to congratulate you on it. Great season. If the Bears happen to have a playoff game at home, I would love to come support the team. If you're probably getting slammed with emails at this time of the season. So if you don't get back to me, I understand. Very cool. I got nothing. Now I'm thinking, did they hear? Did it go to spam? What you take.
A
Man? I don't know. It could go so many different ways, man. It can go. I don't know. Let's. You want to assume it got to him, whoever that guy.
B
I'm assuming it got to him. And in my head, the way I'm playing this out is, oh, now you want tickets after you criticize the ownership. And that's where my head goes right now. I'll give you another take. And I want to know if this is relatable to the audience or if you've ever done this. I was looking for the original email that he sent me, right? Yeah. But I couldn't find it. Like, I. I wanted to respond to the original email, which then would suggest to him, oh, I emailed this guy before because he looked down and go, oh, this right?
A
Yeah, I couldn't find it.
B
So this was just. This was a brand new. It's brand new. So being brand new, he could be looking at it and going, what the fuck is this guy emailing me for? I don't know him. But what he might not remember is he emailed me three years ago thanking me being part of the draft. Right?
A
Right. Yeah. So, yeah, I feel like he's got to remember that, but maybe you should have read you said that. Hey, I don't know if you remember me from the draft. It's been a while, but again, you sell out arenas in Chicago. I think, you know, I think he's got a general idea. You were in the freaking draft with him. But at the end of your email to him, you gave him an out. And maybe that is really what happened. You said, if you're slammed and you can't get back to me this time of year. I understand. Maybe he's like, I am slammed, and I can't get back to you. Thanks for understanding.
B
You know, when I do that, at the end, I do that.
A
I know why you do it. To sleep at night, right? Because if you don't add that, you're like, I'm going to give myself an ounce. So I stay calm. I'm going to pretend.
B
No, no, no, no, no. I often do those things because I think the receiver of that message goes, oh, what a nice guy.
A
He doesn't even think I'm gonna get back to him.
B
Let me get back to him. You know, like, it's almost like a reverse, you know, like, if I don't say that, I'm expecting a response, and this guy goes, this guy's expecting a response without saying, I know. This guy doesn't think I'm busy.
A
Right? Well, yeah, but, like, if you got that, you're smart enough and savvy enough to go, oh, he's hitting me with the don't worry if you can't get back to me line. Oh, I love. You know, I write that at the end just so that when my wife goes, did he get back to you? I go, no. But I said, it's cool if you can't. Remember that guy who. Who wouldn't come on our podcast because he was busy with his. I still don't watch his movies.
B
Still.
A
That's a boom. Yeah. Jackie said, did we still not watch this? I heard the last, I'm done. Never again.
B
Oh, bro.
A
But that is so funny about the. You know what? It is. I. This is my take on it, though. That was three years ago, right?
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. So, like, you. If you would have taken the time to build that relationship up. Weren't they terrible? Like, the past two years? Mm. Yeah. So you're like everybody else, you know? You're not around for two years, and all of a sudden we're in the playoffs, and now you want tickets.
B
It's a. Yeah, well, who wants to go? Listen, what do you think I'm going to do? Go see a team that's 2 and 14? Who's doing that?
A
No, no, no. But you could buy them.
B
The tickets.
A
Buy the tickets.
B
Buy the tickets. I could buy the tickets. Yeah. But what I'm saying is I don't. You know what? I don't want to do that.
A
When I say, by the way, this slides right into the whole Ocean City thing with Frank, which I wanted to get into with Lou but did we get that? I got the lowdown with all that, but I just want to say at the end of this thing with the Chicago thing, first of all, of course you should text the guy. But I'm saying. I'm not saying you should buy them like you're cheap. I'm just saying, like, to get back in the guy's good graces that they cut to Sebastian with his son wearing Bears jerseys, freezing 10 aisle rows back. The owner looks down and goes, jesus Christ, friend. Get the. Get him and his boy up here. Get him. Like, they. They'd be like, they didn't even see my email.
B
They're gonna see me in the stands.
A
I don't know. I think they saw your email. I think they saw your email and they remember that it didn't happen. Like, imagine they got back to you, said, sorry, we can't. Are you referring to this from three years ago? Three seasons ago, two quarterbacks ago.
B
Oh.
A
That'S why, bro, you should start going to your alma maters games. You should start going like. Like pick a couple things. That's your hobby with your son. Be the Jack Nicholson of some franchise, man. That would be. That's a cool thing to be. Maybe the clip a guy. They clip his knee. That guy to come. Oh, there's submission. He's always at every clip this game.
B
Let's get into the Lou thing. Oh, yeah, explain what happened with Lou.
A
This is funny too, because I spoke to Lou last night. Patrick, did. Did by any chance, did cans pass along a video to you? Because Lou made a little video anyway, he made it for loose ends, but so here we. Okay, for the listeners, here's the deal. DJ Lou, part of the Pete and Sebastian show, especially of the audio version. He was. For Christmas time, he was taking his girlfriend. They were going to like the Borgata to stay there. Like the 23rd and the 24th and the 25th. They were going to check out on Christmas. So it's about a week out. He had told me about it. And I'm at the airport in Rochester flying out to. And I'm sitting at the airport and I'm like, what can I do for Lou? And I'm like, you know what? Frank, the guy who owns one of the owners of the Ocean City resort, best place to stay in Atlantic City. When Sebastian was headlining there and I was opening for Sebastian for two weekends in a row, we had a good time with Frank. We've talked about in the cast. He took us around, real nice guy. And he said, if you ever need anything similar to what the owner of the Chicago Bears said, Anything you ever need. And he's texted us in the meantime. So, anyway, long story short, I go to. I text Sebastian or I leave you a message, and I'm like, hey, I want to get Lou and his girlfriend maybe a nice. I want to pay for dinner for them at the Ocean City Resort.
B
It's called Oceans. It's not Ocean. Oceans, yeah.
A
Oh, I'm sorry. Ocean's Resort. And Frank said, if you ever need anything, let me know. How would you play this if you were me? And then you send back a video of you on your couch going, let's call what it is you're trying to get him a free dinner, right? And then it became this thing where I go back to you, and I go, listen, I want to pay for it. I know if I ask. Because you go, you know, if you ask Frank, he's just going to pay for the dinner. And I was like, well, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Anyway, it was a funny back and forth. And at the end, you suggest, why don't we just get him a room at Frank's place? And I was like, jesus, guys, gonna get dinner now you're gonna do a room. And then all of a sudden, it was so funny, bro. Cause out of nowhere, you just. We're going back and forth. You text Frank, all three of us, and go, could we get a room for Lou for one night? And then I side text you, and I go, oh, man, thanks for doing that with Frank. But, you know, Lou's staying for two nights, so he's not gonna wanna leave to Borgata and then head over to. To Ocean. Oceans. So how you say it? Oh, yeah. And then you text me back privately.
B
You go, all right.
A
Jesus Christ, how many fucking nights is this guy staying in Atlantic City? Yeah, but anyway, Frank hooked them up and we told Lou and he loved it and his girl loved it. And they stayed for two nights at the resort, courtesy of Frank. Ocean Resort. And I have loosened a video. But I had. He said something last night on Loose Ends, and I wrote it down because I was like, bro, I gotta ask Sebastian's take on that. He sends a video. Patrick has it. Patrick, I want to show the beginning of video. It's a room at Ocean's. Beautiful with the sunset. And lose like, it's nicest. Sweet I was ever in. I never. I never knew this existed in Atlantic City. Patrick will show you a little video.
B
Yo, Pete, Cans. Sammy.
A
It's Christmas morning and look where I am.
B
Lou's talking now.
A
He's about to talk. But that's that ocean. Oh, my God. Wow. Look at that room. Broke them up. Frank hooked him up.
B
That's a nice room.
A
So anyways, beautiful room. So I'm talking to Lou on loose ends last night, and he goes, you know, the second morning. The first morning, we didn't. We weren't up in time, but the second morning, I woke up and I watched the sunrise over the ocean. And I just. I started to. I started to cry. Teared up. And then I started to cry because I just. I just. To see the sunrise over the ocean. I've never seen that. And I'm like, you've never seen the sunrise over the ocean? He's like, no. I mean, I've just. In Atlantic City, I've never. Yeah, I mean, I was really emotional. Pete, what's the. And I said, I. I gotta bring something. Sebastian, what's your take on a man crying over a sunrise?
B
Bro, I gotta tell you, I'm. I'm almost crying that you're telling me that Luke cried.
A
That's what I'm saying, right?
B
It's, like, embarrassing.
A
No. What? Oh, you mean you're into it? Oh, my God, bro. What the.
B
Why.
A
What is it with a sunrise and sundown? It doesn't. It has nothing to do with me, man.
B
It could be anything. It could be something that you're seeing for the first time ever, and you're like, wow, I've never seen something like this before. I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you, the fact that we had a part of making that memory for Lou is pretty special. I mean, fucking guy's crying in his bed watching the sun come up over the ocean, and you're making fun of the guy. What the fuck happened to charming Pete?
A
Yeah. This is like, I can't believe you're on board with this, bro. I thought him crying over the sunset almost ruined the whole.
B
What the is wrong with you?
A
Why would you cry over the sun coming up? It just seems emotional.
B
It's just seeing something in nature that's, like, unbelievable.
A
I mean, I think there's more going on in life. You know what I'm saying, bro? All I'm saying is if you knocked on my door to go get coffee and you're like, were you crying? I was like, yeah, noticed something was coming up, you'd be on the phone with your sister a half hour later.
B
Yeah, that's you. That's you. But if it's Lou or somebody else, I'm like, it's more sentimental.
A
I mean, if you're crying, it's like, all right, guys, just wipe the tears.
B
And let's get that line. I.
A
That's. That's the part they don't tell you about when you and God bless. You know, when you quit the booze and everything else, you just get like. Everything gets weird. Now you're crying over sudden. All right, I'm sorry. I'm done. Oh, my God. It's that. Forget it. Oh, you know, anyway.
B
Good.
A
I am too. He had a great time, and I'm glad to. And speaking of great time and I don't want to hound you on this.
B
And I'll.
A
I know we got in the show probably here in a sec, but. So Jackie and I rewatched what I'm calling a cinematography classic in the Irishman. All right, now, what a great flick. And I gotta tell you, in my third watch now, the CGI I had a problem with, I don't have the same problem. I'm not seeing it as bad as I thought I saw it last time. And I mean, there's so much going on before. Like, you forget Pacino's even in this thing. He's not even in it for the first hour. Then you come on like a big thing in the middle that, like, gives it a whole big, you know, goodfellas feel for a little while, which is nice. Then the track test, the last hour is like, what are we doing? It's a wrap. It's a wrap. You know, when Pacino dies this thing. Why do we do it? Like, literally 35 minutes of dinero shuffling around a nursing home. We didn't need that. I. I don't know if you saw that part. You know what I'm talking about. It was like, just so sad. But I just feel like would be. It would be like a funny, like, Science Curb episode. If like, like you're like a guy like Larry David's in the movie and he felt it should have ended 40 minutes earlier. And he gets a version cut where it does credit start wrong, but it ends there and then accidentally, like Scorsese's oval during a watch of it. And he's like, did you re edit the fucking ending of my move? It ran too long. I told you when you were doing it. It's too long anyway. But still, folks, if you haven't seen it or you saw it and want to look, it's so good, man. Go check out the Irishman again on Netflix. I don't know if it'll ever not be on Netflix. Best movie. One of the best movies they ever made over there, man. So I gotta go rewatch. You'll always have that on the Res. You'll always see. Jesus, that's so cool. So, by the way, critics choice, are you. You don't even try to hang out. Like, you don't go up to. Do you go up to DiCaprio? What's everyone doing? They would tell you. There's famous people all around you. You're famous. Do you ask anybody what they're doing later? Like, I mean, parties. Where's the party? You know, you just. Was there anyone you're very excited to see? I mean, from when you were on stage, you look down like, holy.
B
I thought George Clooney was going to be there. I never met George Clooney. Him and Brad Pitt, I thought were going to be there. They weren't there.
A
Was Tommy C. There? Cruz?
B
No. No. So those are the three guys that I probably would have been interested in seeing. Not there.
A
Okay. But. But when you look out and there was. Who was the other one, though? Oh, LDC was there. I mean, I know you know him and hung out with him.
B
LDC was there. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't run into him. I run into Chelsea Handler, who was hosting backstage. I ran into. Who else was there? Ike Barinholtz, who won for supporting actor from the studio, who I actually took a class with at Second City in 1990. Him and I were in the same Second City class. Like an improv class. Here he is winning a Critics Choice Award. So I saw him. Chicago guy. Congratulations to him. Who else did I see? That's it. I didn't see a lot of people. I was kind of in and out.
A
This is the problem. And comedians can relate to this. Even how last cast, you were talking about doing the bit and how you worked it out backstage and actors just read. It's like you could go on stage right there. I'm sorry, I don't know the actor's name that you did the improv with. But if you go, oh, so and so did improv with him, and you look at the crowd go, I'm not gonna lie to you. I was like, jesus Christ, hang it up. This guy's going fucking nowhere. Right? Like, they won't laugh because they're so weird about actors. But everyone watching at home will be dying as a comic. It's so hard to. Even when people come up to you and go, that's going to kill on tv. You're like, well, it's not here. And it's very uncomfortable. Right.
B
It's too.
A
But if it kills there, then, you know, everyone at home is going, you narcissistic. You guys are all in love. There's nothing that kills him. The only one who could do both was Billy Crystal. Somehow did the dance, you know.
B
No, you're right. You're right. Because. But I always go for home. I don't go for room.
A
Right, but that's so sensitive anyway, man. It's like ridiculous. Yeah, so anyway, but that was. You looked good. Looked like fun. I figured you were gonna come in and be like, oh, my God, man. I said to DiCaprio and McConaughey, I gotta get home. It's 3am.
B
Bed by 9:30.
A
Oh, man. All right, I gotta. I gotta hit it. Yeah, yeah. Great hanging.
B
We'll see you guys next week. Pete and Sebastian show. Goodbye.
A
Like the ceiling can hold us. The show has ended. Look at this pad. Passport. Passport.
B
Yeah, but you gotta take your shirt off to get to it, bro.

Sebastian celebrates his ongoing break from social media, declaring it "life changing" for his focus, sleep, and creativity. [09:01–09:18]
He credits his improved sleep to a luxury pillow discovered in Mexico, sparking a deep-dive into the world of elite bedding.

On headboards:
"Not having a headboard at this age is unacceptable." [14:26 – Sebastian]
On American childhood excess:
"When you roll around, earn it, you make some money, you get in the real world, you get a big bed." [22:46 – Pete]
On sports privilege & parenting:
"This is a special thing that we get to sit up front." [38:03 – Sebastian]
On gifting experiences & emotion:
"The fact that we had a part of making that memory for Lou is pretty special." [59:37 – Sebastian]
