A
This is the Pete and Sebastian show with Pete Corieli and Sebastian Maniscalco.
- [01:53]
B
Okay, Pete and Sebastian show coming at you once again from Los Angeles. We had somebody careen off the Mulholland Pass and they are trapped in their vehicle at 150ft in the canyon. So we have helicopters on site.
- [02:16]
A
Holy shit.
- [02:20]
B
Which brings up whoever that is. Right? Got up this morning and did you think at all that they thought they would be at the bottom of a canyon?
- [02:37]
A
Unbelievable, man. Do you think like if it's an actor and turns out it was like a slick road and they literally, if it was either hit a house or go over the cliff, like it was like totally sober. Not their fault. Almost heroic to avoid something else. Then they pull that person out. Do they get work like not that
- [03:08]
B
hot
- [03:10]
A
because they survived going over a cliff. Like, like Scott, Scott Baio goes over a cliff. Does he land? The Charles in Charge remake A reboot.
- [03:20]
B
Why you want me to go Find out.
- [03:22]
A
I'm a Scott Baio fan, by the way. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about that. I used to root for him hard in those obstacle course shows on NBC when I was a kid. Oh, he was unbelievable. What an athlete. What an athlete.
- [03:33]
B
Baio was what they call, like, celebrity wars or something. It was like, you know, they did sprints and they did this and they did that. They don't have those anymore, and I really look forward to those. As a kid growing up, I was like, me too. Battle of the Network Stars. That's what it was called.
- [03:54]
A
That was phenomenal.
- [03:56]
B
God, was that great. Prime time, abc, they got rid of that and now we're looking at TikTok. Anyway, listen, where do we start? Anything exciting? I got it. Well, let me bring this up.
- [04:18]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [04:20]
B
I was trying to organize a trip to Mexico. Oh, okay.
- [04:27]
A
This.
- [04:30]
B
So I sent out a. You know, I sent you some dates, right. I don't know, maybe it's me, but I've been feeling this probably for the last six or seven years with the people around me in my life.
- [04:44]
A
Wow.
- [04:51]
B
To the listeners, just so you know, like, yeah, maybe we could get like a spring break trip going with Corey Alley and the Watts. So reach out to you and you hit me back with a. I'm going to Hawaii for spring break. I don't know why that bothered me
- [05:14]
A
at first, really.
- [05:17]
B
But then I heard a lot. I go, are we the only ones reaching out, trying to organize stuff with other people? You know, whether it be a dinner, whether it be, so, come on over to our house for drinks, whether it be a vacation. And I feel like it's a lot of output on our end and not a lot of input on other people's. Now, did you think of us to ask, did we want to go to Hawaii? No, because you probably wanted to go to Hawaii with your family. But it's never even a thought which is bothering me.
- [05:58]
A
What you think, wow, that's so simple to answer. Because it's never that. Everything from going out to dinner to. Man, we've been good friends for over, what, 13 years now. Even inviting you out to where I live. You even. You even drove right by the exit to my house once. And I don't freely or openly invite you because invited guy, you were invited. But the things, the things I have to offer, I already know you're not going to do. So I try to avoid putting you in a position like, okay, okay. I would love for the Maniscalcos to join us in Maui. Are you gonna stay at the Hyatt? Because that's where we're staying.
- [06:55]
B
That's what I'm saying.
- [06:57]
A
And even, by the way, when you said the trip, I honestly. People don't invite you guys. It's not that they don't invite you. They don't offer up things to do because most people don't do the things on the level that you do them. So I know you're not going to do the thing on the level I have to offer, but I'm always trying to, and I always want to go on the level you do. I would love for you to visit here.
- [07:21]
B
I don't know.
- [07:21]
A
You're going to be like, hey, I share a bathroom. You don't have to. You know, you have your own bathroom, but it's not like a guest bathroom, so there's that. And then I threw out an option for me and Watt that I can't. I don't know what is going on with you and this particular area of America that I keep trying to get you to go to in the summer, and you're very reluctant against it. I didn't even want to say it out loud. The area, like, as soon as I mentioned it, you said Mexico again in your text. What's that?
- [07:53]
B
This Hampton.
- [07:54]
A
The Hamptons, bro. It's right up your alley. You and Watt would be on page six if we walk through the Hamptons with a couple of ice cream cones and the kids. You guys would be on page six of the Post the next day.
- [08:05]
B
Bro, this Hamptons is overrated. I'm telling you. It's like, I don't go anywhere where I don't. Can't get into the water.
- [08:13]
A
Don't.
- [08:13]
B
Don't tell me. Don't tell me it's a beach.
- [08:16]
A
Have you been cold?
- [08:17]
B
And it's. It's. It's cold and it's dirty.
- [08:22]
A
I. Listen, I grew up on Long Island. I have no idea who you've been talking to or what you're saying. It's beautiful water. It's the ocean. It's chilly, but it's not like Cape Cod.
- [08:32]
B
It's chilly. I don't want to hear Chili on vacation.
- [08:37]
A
Yeah, no, listen. You go to Cape Cod, and it's ridiculous. I don't even know who's going in that shit. It's freezing. I mean, I literally. You're gonna bump into an ice chunk still. But when you get down to Long island, it's cold, but it's refreshing, bro.
- [08:53]
B
I was hearing, like, a tapping, like a Morse code.
- [08:57]
A
Oh. Oh. I might have been on my end. Might have been the heat.
- [09:01]
B
Oh, okay.
- [09:02]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [09:03]
B
Okay. Whoa.
- [09:07]
A
But the beaches are beautiful. The town is gorgeous. Is it pricey? Overrated and all that kind of stuff? Of course. But I, I've suggested like a three day getaway. Be nice. And it's. You stay in the States, God forbid anyone has a medical situation. We don't got to deal with a Mexican hospital.
- [09:24]
B
Oh, Jesus, that's. The invitations are going to stop after that comment.
- [09:34]
A
No, listen, seriously, I really want to go away with you guys. I really do.
- [09:38]
B
I hope it works out.
- [09:39]
A
Do you guys go there in the summer or is it too hot?
- [09:43]
B
We go there in the summer. I mean, it is hot, but I mean, like spring break, we're trying to figure out, you know, what could we do for spring break. You know, I reached out to my buddies back home to see if we could get a guy's trip going. And at this age, it's like, forget it. You know, it's like the wider you cast in that, the more people got problems with whatever you're trying to do. You know, one buddy of mine, I ain't going to Mexico, you could get beheaded. Okay, forget it, we're done. You know, one of these guys.
- [10:19]
A
So you were trying to get all the buds you grew up with or from college or whatever to get together from Mexico. You were gonna go down there and you couldn't. They all had family obligations and shit.
- [10:32]
B
Yeah. It's just hard to everybody to line up. I got work, I got this, I got that. So, yeah, that's why I'm just sticking to my family from, from here on out. I gotta, I gotta tell you, we went to Las Vegas for Seraphina's gymnastics tourname. Yeah. Yeah. And she, she did better this time around. But I mean collectively as a team. I've noticed at the award ceremony, you know, they're reading the names out and there's this one name coming up a lot, One gymnastics school coming up a lot. You know, it's like, I don't know, Premier Elite, whatever it was. So I go to Lana, I go, I'm going to go over to the, to the Premier Elite families and ask what's going on? Why are they racking up all the medals? What are they doing at their school that we ain't doing at ours? Right? And I got to work on my approach. It's very, it's very abrupt, you know, I don't know how to say, excuse me, I'm a da, da. Da. I'm a father, you know, I just go right into what I want to know. So this mother's taking a picture of her kids, right? And I go up to her, I go, where's this school from? Yeah. There's no introduction, right. Right now, do you think there needs to be an introduction? When you want to ask somebody a question just in life, do you have to say, hey, excuse me, my name is Sebastian, I'm a father of one of the k. The other. Or could you just dive into the pool?
- [12:16]
A
I. I think the bigger question here is, do you think there's times that you think you're being charming and the person isn't feeling the same way about it? Like, do you like. Because I know one of your moves is, like, to come in almost as if everybody knows the backstory, right? Like, let's say. Let's do a hypothetically and say they can't decide if they should get a cake with green frosting or white frosting. And they've been trying to decide all day, right?
- [12:48]
B
So.
- [12:48]
A
And then you're in another room, and then like an hour later, you got to go in there for something. You'll walk in and go, I was going green. Or there we go. Like, like, like you'll go right into what you know is in. And it usually is charming, but, you know, famous side. When you're not doing it in a fame way where, you know, they don't know who you are and you do that. Do you find that sometimes, in this case is a perfect example, they don't take it that way. And they're like, the. Is this guy coming at us with questions? I don't even know who he is. Because I feel. You don't feel like you're doing that a little bit like that. You mean to go like, where are you from? Like, you think they'll think that? Oh, because we're winning all the medals and you want to know.
- [13:29]
B
No, no, no, no. I don't even think they know what I'm just. No. Yeah. I'm not even trying to be charming. I'm just trying to get information.
- [13:38]
A
Well, then how do you not say who you are then? That's very odd to do that.
- [13:43]
B
It's very hard to just go, where's this school from? And the woman goes, oh, it's from Woodland Hills. Right. So then my follow up was, I see you're racking up a lot of medals, and I'd like to know how many days a week do they practice and for how long. Right.
- [14:14]
A
I See?
- [14:15]
B
Racking up a lot of medals.
- [14:16]
A
I need to know where is this school from and how many days a week do you now.
- [14:21]
B
Okay, I should.
- [14:22]
A
I'm giggling. You know, now we're from the D area,
- [14:30]
B
so I should have consolidated. I should consolidated the two in one sentence.
- [14:35]
A
Well, when you ask a question without any. Not even a hello, that's homeless behavior. Homeless people. Right. Give me a dollar.
- [14:51]
B
Okay, so. Because I might have to work on kind of like easing in to these conversations. But anyway, she told me to practice in three days a week. Nine hours. Nine hours a week.
- [15:05]
A
She must have smiled after the second part, though, when you said, I need to know why you win all these medals.
- [15:10]
B
She was foreign with an accent, so that was another layer of, like, not getting the. You know, sometimes foreign people don't get the, you know, the nuance of the language just because they don't, you know, they don't have a grasp of the language. So. So I'm like, three days, nine hours, Three days, seven hours for Seraphina. Is that two extra hours really the extra push that these kids need to go, you know, to the elite level or to the other. The next level? Because, you know, listen, the award ceremony, they're giving out medals for. For 13th place. I mean, what are we doing here, man?
- [16:00]
A
Because I even told me that last week. He said that's. That's why you're paying for parking at a high school, to cover all the metal. All right, thanks to Rag and Bone for sponsoring this episode.

Why have I asked my H Vac guy I found on angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube because I was so amazed by how quickly he replaced our air ducts. I knew I could trust him to change Pop Pop's tube while I was on vacation.
- [18:13]
B
Make it quick, young man. Aw.
- [18:17]
C
See Pop Pop trusts you.
- [18:20]

I think we should call a doctor.

Find pros for all your home projects@angie.com by the way. 25 apiece again to get into the place. No kid rate on this one. It was 25 across the board. 75 to get in at the Horseshoe casino in Las Vegas. I had to go get a bottled water in the gift shop. I just want to put this out there. Guess how much a 16 ounce. That's the small version of water. 16 full ounces of water. Aquafina, which is not like a high end brand. What are they charging in a casino? In a casino? In a casino. I'm going 650, $10.48. Wow.
- [19:17]
A
That's a. Where else are you going to get water bottle? That's what that is right there. Right? Because anyone I do that move and that's a certain class of person that leaves the casino to go local to, you know, the deli next to the pawn shop. You know, you haven't fucking see that.
- [19:37]
B
Well, I saw that firsthand when you went in a full blown hurricane to go get a Subway sandwich in Miami.
- [19:52]
A
Oh, God damn it. I really did do that. Oh. Oh, God. But anyway, and it is humiliating. It's very humiliating walking through the lobby of a casino with outside groceries. It takes a certain amount of pride swallowing to get up that elevator and two bags full. But you know, man, it's a, it's a big fu to them because that's, that's what it is. That's $10 or you gotta go do all that.
- [20:25]
B
And I'm like, I'll go do all
- [20:27]
A
that because I can't. I can't.
- [20:28]
B
Yeah, it's. I was in a pinch. I didn't know time to go to the pawn shop. Plus, you're right, you know, when, when you're walking through the Wynynn Casino with CVS pharmacy bags, that's a tough build, a swallow.
- [20:42]
A
It really is. That's why, another tip for the travel. When I do many of my casino food shopping, I go, I am not kidding you. At 6:30, quarter to 7. So I'm walking through the casino and the only one there are like, you know, losers still gambling from the night before. So, you know, you get up to that room, no one knows the wiser. You know why they're charging 25 for the child to get into the gymnastics? Because at the high school in California, it's only 15. Is there like, we go full price on the kid? They may call a grandma to come pick the kid up for a little while in Vegas. What are you going to do? Leave the kid by the fucking slots? You know what I mean? You got no choice. God damn, they jack you for that. That's bullshit, bro.
- [21:31]
B
It is. It is terrible. It is. It's a shame.
- [21:35]
A
How'd she do?
- [21:36]
B
Good. She. She did better. She did better than what she did last time and she's having fun. You know, last time I was a little. But you know, hey, listen, this is recreational gymnastics. This is nothing. That, this is a feeder line to the Olympics. But she's having fun. But we might look into other schools because with the time and effort that we're putting in, we just figure the results should be a little bit better. But that being said, I want to get into a dinner I went to last week here in Los Angeles with a couple that we've never went out with before.
- [22:14]
A
Okay.
- [22:16]
B
And again, I've noticed this too. A lot of output, not a lot of input. We've noticed. And you're this guy too. We've noticed that we facilitate a lot of conversations and ask questions to other people we're with. But. And we don't get reciprocated back with any other follow up question about us. So we leave the, we leave the dinner knowing soup to nuts about this couple from where they work, how they got the job, how they met. Yeah. What's their child rearing? How do they like work parenting, you know, and they walked away. If somebody just randomly tapped them and said, hey, I saw you with that couple. Do you know how they met or do you know anything about them? They would go, well, no, like nothing. I mean, absolutely not one question batted in my way, which is fine. Okay. Right. Do I really want to talk? I don't know. Maybe if the guy did ask me questions, I'd feel it. I think you're really good at this because I've been out with you many times. In social situation, you tend to facilitate conversation amongst people that might not be able or have the skill set to do so. And then you've seen it on the tour. When you're at the table, you're like, let me ask you this, you know, like. Right.
- [23:51]
A
Yeah.
- [23:51]
B
And then everybody. But go ahead, everybody gets up on the edge of their seat, oh, Pete's got a question, you know, what's he gonna ask us? Right. Outside of you and a few other people in my life, I never feel like I gotta jump out of my seat and get into like a, you know.
- [24:10]
A
Right, right.
- [24:11]
B
Because I do. I'm doing a lot of what should take at dinner table conversation. Right? Yeah. And again, people don't even know how to take it. They're like, what the fuck? This is not like, oh, you know, where are you from? Where'd you grow up? It's not that type of question. Again, I dive in. No, hello. What you take and who's more financially stable in the relationship, you or your husband? You know, like what? Financially stable? What the fuck is this? We never talked about, what is this guy, our financial advisor?
- [24:45]
A
Right. But getting at it. I hear you, man.
- [24:48]
B
Getting at it. I want to cut through the cheese and get to the meat and potatoes of it all. And I find that no one's asking me any provocative questions.
- [25:01]
A
I feel, though, sometimes maybe people overthink it with you. Maybe they're like, he doesn't want to. I don't, I don't know why they would not. I don't know.
- [25:12]
B
I don't know. I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving. Them the avenue to do it, but they're just, they're just not following through. So we did that, we watched. I don't know. This is another thing that's burning my ass. And this is for parents out there that are involved in organized sports, particularly gymnastic, because there is no off season, by the way. I'm looking at the gymnastics business model.
- [25:36]
A
Yeah.
- [25:38]
B
And it's, it just thinks a cash cow, bro. There's no season. It's year round, you know, like there used to be seasons and like, oh, and the fall is football and then in the winter is basketball. Whatever. There used to be like seasons where kids played the sport and then went on to the next sport. Now everything is like, like January to December. It's like, is there any off season or are we just constantly giving you money to play? Right.
- [26:13]
A
So you bring up a good point.
- [26:16]
B
Good.
- [26:17]
A
Well, because my daughter does the swim and it's every day like you said, and she's thinking about trying track or she's like basketball, but I can't because then I won't be able to swim for the Pack. For the pack team. Right. And it's like they need. I think these schools all across the country need to set up an intramural league for every sport. And it's designed for. You got a kid that just wants to play the sport and doesn't give a shit about getting good at it. This is the league. They can play soccer and then they can play this. It's because unless you are completely dedicated, you have to pick one sport, be completely dedicated to it to make that team. And that's how you participate in sports. That becomes your sport. If you want to dabble, you got to be Jim fucking Thorpe. Okay? You know what I'm saying? I mean, you got to be incredible. I mean, I don't even know.
- [27:06]
B
Jesus Christ. Right now half, half of the audience is on Google looking up Jim Thorpe. I mean, what a reference.
- [27:15]
A
Half Indian considered the greatest athlete of, of all time. Him and the one who won all the Olympics with Hitler was rooting against him. Who was Jesse Owen. Remember that guy Hitler in the crowd watching the Olympics and he's still winning medals.
- [27:32]
B
Just look up Jim torp was this 1912. This guy's doing 100 year sport reference. Like I would have thought maybe you would have said like a Dion Sanders or a Bo Jackson. You went deep on a Thorpe, bro. This guy was born in 1887, man. 19:12 Stockholm Olympics. Jesus. Over 100, bro.
- [28:07]
A
I feel like I was a comic in my past life and like, I'm like throwing out punch lines for my old act, you know what I'm saying? Like, God, I. I think I did that one on the Titanic. Oh, God. Oh, wow. Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Thorpe. All American. As an athlete, I'm grateful for the strength God gave me. And as an American, I'm grateful for the opportunity our great country and wonderful country has given me.

Why have I asked my electrician I found on Angie.com to bury my pet hamster Nibbles in our yard for me? Because I was so moved by how carefully he buried my electrical wires, I

knew I could trust him to bury

my sweet Nibbles after his untimely end.
- [30:56]
B
Huh? Nibbles gone too soon.
- [30:59]
A
May he scurry in peace.

I Want to talking about the level of intensity Sadie is part of now, this thing called the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. You go there if you really know how to play. And she goes there for two instruments, the viola and piano. But piano is a best thing, right? And she's going to be a part of some small recital soon. They do them a lot. They're little intimate affairs. And she has an Asian instructor who's a young lady who's literally about to become a doctor. She has one more test to go. And she's also unbelievable piano player. Sadie's been practicing for the recital. So this is the first time she's doing it for an Asian lady. And she gets back in the call with me and she goes, I don't like her. I just don't care for so and so. And then I go, this is what you always do when somebody tells you something you don't want to hear. You say they're not nice because you don't like what they're saying because they're not saying you're great. So this Asian lady said, you're playing it. You're playing it all wrong. And Sadie goes, which part? And the lady goes, the entire thing. You're playing it so wrong, and you're playing it so wrong that I just. I don't even. We might have to pull you from the recital because I just don't see how you'll ever be able to play it well enough by then. And I'm going to be honest, I can't have you play at the recital because it looks bad for me. If I put you up there and you play the way you are, that's bad for me. And Sadie goes, dad, like. Like, why wouldn't you just say we have to work on it? Why is she putting it on? Like, bad for her? Like, she's going to lose her job. And I'm going, yeah, well, she gets. Based on how you do. If you stink, if I'm a coach and everybody stinks, then I'm going to get fired. So, you know. And you know, by the end of the car ride, Shady got out and was already practicing. And like, you know, less about Mad about the Woman and, you know, works. Sadie responds to that, but they do not f around. There's no sugar coating it, man, you suck. You suck. Don't suck. If they'll kick you out of the family, they'll go make you eat in the shed. They don't mess around.
- [33:22]
B
That's what I'm saying. It's like, it's called the Asian effect. Right, man?
- [33:28]
A
Yeah.
- [33:29]
B
Not only are you not good at what you're doing, it's so embarrassing that my reputation could be soiled. If you go out and play like that. Right? Now, imagine having as a kid, that parent, where the parent is like, listen, if you go out and you don't hit the floor routine, our name is on the line. Like it's a family history that you're going to tarnish. Right, Right.
- [34:07]
A
I agree.
- [34:08]
B
Is that extreme? Would you rather have that or would you have a parent who is playing PlayStation while the kid's asking for homework help? Right, right. By the way, I don't even think the Asians bother with any PlayStation, Nintendo, any of that stuff. I don't even think it's in the home. Right.
- [34:34]
A
For an Asian child. Happy time, enjoy time is hopefully you have a dream when you sleep it. That's your playtime. That's your playtime. Whatever happens in your dream. Well, guy, we're raising. We're raising Sadie Asian. I'm not even lying to you. Because she had a big social studies test, right? We studied with her, like, late at night with testing. And Jackie's yelling at her, like, if you do bad, you're this. I go, jack, Jack, easy. And Sadie's like, ma, I didn't even take it yet. I go. I go, you're already laying down the punishment. And I'm like, she's clearly studying. She gets a 98. She gets in the car, tells me she has a 98. And I go, Nice. And then no one. I can't even help it. And there's a reason I hit it with this. I'm like, what did you get wrong? Oh, my God, Dad. Oh, my God, Dad, I got a 98 that. I go, I know. Listen, that's great. That's great. But you knew it all. I bet you knew the thing you got wrong. And she's like, it was the thing about the president. And I'm like, you knew that. Why? I go, you overthought it. I go, why you do that? You always overthink one. Dad, I got a 90. I go, I know, but you could have 100. Like, like, watch this. What so and so get 98. Very good. What so and so get 100.
- [35:47]
B
Wow.
- [35:47]
A
No, 100. Nothing wrong. Nothing, Nothing. And I go, listen, you did great. And then we get home.
- [35:57]
B
Hold on.
- [35:58]
A
Jackie comes down the stairs. Where'd you get 98? Way to go. What'd you get wrong?
- [36:08]
B
This ain't Asian, bro. This ain't Asian. This is military style upbringing.
- [36:19]
A
If you. Let me ask you this. If your daughter, in your dream, do you have any idea in like your dream, even if it's nothing she would want to do that you would think would be like the coolest thing or the thing you'd want your daughter to do or the most impressive? Have you ever thought about any of that?
- [36:39]
B
You know, I haven't really thought that far ahead of what, you know, I asked her, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up? A. A lot of the initial answers were veterinarian. Want to be a veterinarian? I want to work with animals.
- [36:55]
A
Got that too.
- [36:56]
B
Yeah. Now it's, you know, listen, she's in Hollywood. She does have a personality she loves. She has no fear of being in front of people. Is there a possibility she goes into the arts? Maybe? Do I want that for. Not necessarily. I mean, it's like, I don't want you. What is she gonna do? Get a headshot? Come on.
- [37:25]
A
Headshot. She's maniscalco. She's gonna get an audition.
- [37:29]
B
Oh, my father Sebastian's daughter. Oh, yeah. Okay. See any questions on the script?
- [37:37]
A
Oh, God, I can't. Thank you. Well, I don't know, man. I mean, listen, I just saw Song Song Blue with Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman and dude, that is like, I can't even tell you how great that movie was. And it didn't even make me feel good. It was like I had a lot of emotional ups and downs, but Kate Hudson, the acting was like absolutely just fantastic. Just fantastic. I said at the end of the movie to Jackie, I go, oh my God, do you think Goldie Horn was like crying and hugging her daughter after this? Because this was just a work of art, you know?
- [38:19]
B
So like, is it amusing?
- [38:23]
A
Well, yes and no. They. Her, she plays. It's based on a true story. Her and Hugh Jackman play a married couple that make a living doing Neil Diamond. They're like a Neil diamond tribute band cover band. So they play Neil diamond, but it's like, you know, it's the same way. Mickey Rock was a wrestler in the Wrestler. But it was like such a great movie about the life, so. Yeah, but I don't know, man. You know, it's like getting back to the thing with the, with the kids. It's like, it's. If you know it, you know it. That's all. I'm not being militant, man. If you know it, you know, you knew it. So. And 100 this sounds, bro, I'm sorry to cut you off. But she said that her friend. I go, do your friends ever, like, can't believe that your parents get mad that you got a 98? Yes, dad, yes. They think it's really weird, dad. And I'm like, you know, listen, you want to go to Cornell or Cortland? Because I went to Courtland, I went to Fredonia, which is like, you know, suny. It was a good time, but, you
- [39:31]
B
know, that's all I'm saying.
- [39:33]
A
Yeah.
- [39:35]
B
Yeah, man. I mean, I think you got to celebrate the 98 and, you know, maybe lay off the, why didn't you get 100? But maybe that type of parenting has got her, too. The 98.
- [39:46]
A
Maybe if you were how your dad raised you, man, based on the stories. I mean, literally, I'm not.
- [39:54]
B
I'm not knocking it, man. I'm not knocking it. Lana and I go through this a lot, you know, Like, I ain't celebrating mediocrity here. You know, I'm not saluting the fish for swimming. You know, I need a little bit more.
- [40:12]
A
But do you think every kid's different? Do you think, like, maybe what might work for one child? Because I only have one child, and I know she responds to this. If she didn't, she's a happy kid and she likes to be challenged, and if she didn't, we'd back off. But do you think, like, maybe one of your children, you do it differently than the other one? Maybe a little bit, because they are different.
- [40:30]
B
Well, I noticed with Caruso, Caruso is a lot more receptive to, like, you know, this is the way you got to do it. Okay. Did I tell you we had a. Maybe I'm repeating myself. Did I tell you that we had a discussion about domestic violence? No. For those parents out there, you never know what the right time is to talk about something, but sometimes it just hits you right in the face. So a lot of these lessons are happening with me taking the child from school to soccer school to gymnastics. There's a good 35 to 40 minute swath of time where I got them strapped in the back and they ain't going nowhere, right? So I was talking to Caruso about fighting with his sister. You know, they do have like. Like brothers and sisters. Do they bicker? They fight? There's a couple hit hitting, you know, hit, hit, pinch or whatever. So I said, you know, I know you're the younger brother, but you can't be hitting your sister. And he doesn't hit her as much as she hits him. Right. But I'm Telling her, I go. I go, listen, I know you hit your sister. I used to hit my sister growing up, right? But there comes a time when you're gonna. You're gonna hit your sister. It's really gonna hurt her because she's a. She's a girl, okay? I said, why don't you try to refrain from hitting your sister? Because as you grow older, I want to let you notice you never hit a woman. You understand me? Okay, Daddy. I said, it's against the law. It's called domestic violence, all right? And you could get arrested for that. I go, no matter how much a woman upsets you, you never strike her. Okay? Now, I don't know where that landed in his head. All right? Now, he was very receptive, though. Very, like, okay, Daddy never hit a girl. You know, like, he's.
- [42:46]
A
He's.
- [42:47]
B
He's that way. Nice. Next day, I'm in the car with Seraphina. Same conversation. I know you fight with your brother. I go, you know, you're older than him. I want you to set example. Don't hit. Don't hit him. He could, you know, that's. It's not nice. And I said, speaking of hitting, if a man ever hits you, you tell Daddy or Mommy, you tell somebody, and you get out of that relationship. You understand me? And then I threw this one out. I don't know where this came from. Even if Mommy and Daddy. Even if Mommy and Daddy ain't around, meaning if we die, right? This is. This is. I don't know how the fuck this landed. If we die, right? Yeah. You get out of this, you know, Like, I. I don't know. Like, for some reason, I fast forward 20 years, and she gets slapped by a guy, and she's like, oh, my God, Mommy and Daddy ain't here anymore. I think he said, leave. You know, Like, I want that type of, like, that message ingrained in her head. I told my wife, I said, we had a discussion about domestic violence. And, like, she's like, what,
- [44:09]
A
Man, you. You could have. By the way, you could have made it so much shorter. Think I just said to your daughter, anyone, whether mommy or daddy are not alive ever again and someone, a broken man lays a finger on you, you call your brother. That's it. You ever hit a song by Tom Something Hardy? It's almost worth hearing. Wait in a Truck, It's a hit country song.
- [44:35]
B
No, Wait in the truck.
- [44:38]
A
Wait in the truck. I know. I don't want to slow the show down. Do I tell you the first 30 seconds? Of the lyrics or do you hear.
- [44:44]
B
All right. Yeah, yeah.
- [44:45]
A
It's about a. It's about a guy. It's a country song. And the guy's driving in a rainstorm in, like, the middle of nowhere, and all of a sudden, there's a girl out in the middle of the road. And, you know, she doesn't look good, and she's. He almost hits her, and then she comes over, and she gets in. He waves her into the truck. She gets in. He could tell right away she's been beat by somebody, right? I could tell she's been beaten. She's been through enough, you know? So he goes. So basically, then the chorus is. He goes, I didn't bog it down with questions. I know she's been enough. I just put it in drive. I looked in the eye and asked where he was. And then they drove to the trailer where the guy was. And then he goes. And then the chorus is something about, you know, a woman says, I didn't know my justice would come from. I always. I knew my justice wouldn't come from a judge under a seat, But I knew once this guy said to me that he'd never hit me again. And when he said, wait in the truck. Just wait in the truck, you got to hear the song. He goes to the guy's house, tells the girl to wait in the truck, and then he goes inside.
- [46:01]
B
There's something so powerful, and I don't know why this is. And I've always. Not that I've always wanted to be in this situation, but there's something about telling a woman to wait in the car, wait in the truck, because whatever you're gonna do, she can't even be a part of it. I love it. Have you ever been in a situation where you told Jackie, wait in the car, and then you had to go,
- [46:32]
A
oh, God, it sounds cool. No, no, I'm Jackie Wooden. Anyway, I'm not waiting in the car. I'm gonna have to.
- [46:42]
B
I think Jackie would tell you, pete, go wait in the car.
- [46:50]
A
Oh, man. I did it once in college. I thought I was so cool. I got in a fight with a dude, and my two friends was late at night, come home from a bar, and he was, like, about my size, if not a little smaller. And, you know, I just wrestled him down, held him down. But my two friends were getting out of the car, car, and I said, just stay in the car. Stay in the car. Because I don't want him to be able to say, you guys help me. But it was not like not like that turned into a woman just being like, stay in this car, baby.
- [47:21]
B
I feel like if you said that, I just feel like the woman, the, The.
- [47:27]
A
The.
- [47:28]
B
The love level would go up such a. Another notch where the real moment is you getting back into the car after the incident, and she's looking at you. There's a scene in the movie Goodfellas where Ray Liotta goes to beat the shit out of the guy. Yeah, right. And she's actually watching, but what she's not aware of that she's gonna get the gun to hide.
- [48:01]
A
Yeah.
- [48:02]
B
And when she gets the gun, she's like she says in the movie. To be honest with you, it turned me on. Yeah, I think that's the same. It's the same effect as waiting a car. I'll be right back.
- [48:18]
A
I agree, but if I was a woman, I would want it a little more clean. Like, don't. Don't be handing me the fucking weapon with blood on it and shit. You know what I'm saying? I just want a guy to get back in the car.
- [48:29]
B
I'm like.
- [48:30]
A
And just look at me and go, he's not going to bother you ever again, baby. That's it. Right? No blood on his knuckles, no nothing. Just.
- [48:38]
B
Oh, no. I think you turn to her and go, that problem is solved. Or whatever you say. And then on your hand, it's red and you might have, like a little skin underneath your ring or something that would indicate something happened. I think that. Yeah.
- [49:01]
A
Really?
- [49:02]
B
Oh, yeah. Come back clean. You can't come back clean. You gotta come up like something happened. You know, maybe your hair is a little ruffled. All right, so that's that. What else have you been traveling?
- [49:22]
A
Well, I was off this past week with the snow, but speaking of traveling, I got. I got a little. You ready for this? Did you know, year to year on end, airline fuel is down 10%? The price of, like, they've burned in its entirety. The airlines have burned 10% less fuel in 2026 than they normally would 2025. And do you know why?
- [49:48]
B
No.
- [49:48]
A
It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. The reason why you don't even want to try and guess the reason?
- [49:57]
B
Well, I mean, the obvious guess and most logical would be like, travel is down from the year before.
- [50:06]
A
No, no, they've. They've. Same amount of the planes have basically flown, if I'm understanding this correctly, the same amount they have last year. It's just saying that the planes in their entirety collectively have burned less fuel to get from point A to point B than Last year, and the same amount of miles flown. Like, they're getting more miles per hour on the gallon or whatever.
- [50:29]
B
Okay, so I'm gonna go now with weight.
- [50:35]
A
Okay.
- [50:39]
B
This is a stretch, but it's because people. I don't know.
- [50:46]
A
This is a far 10 seconds to try and solve it. Good luck.
- [50:50]
B
People are taking weight loss drugs, and they're. And they're skinnier than they. Educated guess.
- [50:58]
A
Correct, sir. That's it.
- [50:59]
B
Wow. Correct.
- [51:02]
A
We haven't seen this reduction in fuel since bulimia was in. You know, back when Karen Carpenter, right before she died. Then it went out of style. Then it became taboo.
- [51:12]
B
Do you believe that, bro?
- [51:14]
A
Ozempic is a affecting my airline ticket prices in a positive way. Oh, wow.
- [51:23]
B
That is amazing. I mean, literally, there's no reason really to be obese. Granted, these drugs cost money, but it's like, would you rather spend $200 a month on your iPhone or would you rather spend $200 on an ozempic shot and walk around 40 pounds lighter?
- [51:47]
A
Well, I still. What is the deal? Do you know the deal? Because the last time I looked into this, which was about a year ago, I saw an Ozempic special, and the guy was like, me and my wife do it. I don't like food anymore. You don't care about food anymore. It's unfortunate because that was the biggest enjoyment of my life. But I am losing weight now. We go on walks and, you know, and then I know. I know someone who took it, and they're like, I get nauseous all the time and. But I don't want food. And the way I look over makes me feel better than the way I feel. Has the drug. Have they, like, worked out the quirks? Like, now, like, do you still, like, want a salad, like, or do you just, like, not want to eat? Because that sucks too, doesn't it?
- [52:34]
B
Right? Yeah. I don't know exactly. I don't know how they massage the drug, if they're tweaking it to make it not have these side effects, like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, whatever the hell it is. But. But I don't know, man. I mean, I know a lot of people that might not. I mean, might not be overweight, but want to look a little thinner, want to feel a little bit better, lighter on their feet that are taking it. It just seems to be like, now it's very. It's like cigarettes or it's like, whatever. It's like, yeah, I'm on Ozempic and I lost 15 pounds. I don't know, I mean, who knows, man? 30 years go by and the people. The people could be growing three eyes and they'd be like, oh, did you take ozempic back in 2025? Yeah. Well, you got a third eyeball now. Well, I mean, I don't know, bro.
- [53:24]
A
Yeah, I mean, I work out. Should I just take that? I get. I can't do that, bro.
- [53:30]
B
You got, you know. You know, you're like, rail thin over there. If anything, you need a couple more sandwiches in your diet.
- [53:35]
A
No, man. Bro, I don't know what's going on in my life. How do you feel? You feel like. I feel like it's just going. It's just going, dude. It's just going like, you know, every day before I know it, it's five o'. Clock. I. You know, like, I don't have enough new jokes, is driving me crazy. I think I write something funny, and then later in the day, I don't think it's funny anymore. You ever do that? What the, bro, I'm going through. I'm going through something.
- [54:05]
B
Is life going fast? Listen, when you stop and think about it, I mean, listen, there's moments I'll look at my iPhone and I see Seraphina when she was 3 and go, wow, where'd that go? Where's time going? So there's moments I have of it. But right now, I gotta tell you, with not touring and not having a, you know, getting to get on an airplane and go anywhere, I feel like. I feel like I got a routine. And I get up now whenever I want to get up. It's nice.
- [54:42]
A
No, that's part of it. Being chill at home. I know. I mean, I always feel like Stephen King had the best life. I mean, I know he's a little angry now, politically, but the guy, basically his whole life, apparently, this is his deal. Wakes up in Maine, you know, nice breakfast, blah, blah, blah. Heads out to his barn. Writes for three hours, no matter what. If you're struggling, still writes, even if it sucks, if it's going great. Shuts that down at three hours.
- [55:15]
B
Lets it.
- [55:15]
A
Lets it resonate for the next day. And then hangs out, does it the next. Just a little, right? A little chill a little, right. It's nice.
- [55:25]
B
Well, I've been reading a lot of books. Well, then let's. Let's call a spade a spade here. Been listening to a lot of books, and a lot of these books are saying you do the hardest thing of your day right in the morning. So let's say. You ever wake Up. And you're like, I gotta write some jokes, right? But you're like, ah, no, I'll do it at one o' clock or two o', clock, right?
- [55:59]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [56:00]
B
What they're saying is even, like, working out. Like, you don't want to work out, but if you do it in the morning, it's the toughest thing that you have to do all day. It's done, right? So the toughest thing that you got to do all day, you boo, right? In the morning, like, you knock out the writing. Soon as you get up, boom, done. Now. The now. And it just goes from hardest to easiest, right? That's the way your day should be difficult to do. But I like the Stephen King approach. Even you saying that, like, oh, that's like. I like that. Like, you have the breakfast and then you. Then you go walk into your room and like, all right, it's time to create.
- [56:37]
A
That's what Seinfeld said he did for years. We'd always mean we'd go for a run and then we'd shower up, have a little something to eat and just write jokes. I'm a little all over the place. I just want to close out with a. Because this is a lifestyle. So I have one lifestyle recommendation. Bless you.
- [57:02]
B
Sorry.
- [57:02]
A
What do you think about that? Hitting them with the. God bless you. Before the sneeze, when you see the sneeze coming. But have you seen these, bro? These. I've used these now for three days in a row, and they. I rarely use a comment like this on the cast. I've changed. They're changing my life. Nose strips, Nasal strips.
- [57:27]
B
Yeah, I've bought those, but I haven't really been using them now.
- [57:31]
A
Oh, my God. It's unbelievable because Jackie's been having a problem with me breathing through my mouth, you know, borderline, you know, waking me up, making me roll over. And, like, before I fall asleep, sometimes I just kind of, like, push up my nostrils like that so I can get more air up there until it would, like, make me fall asleep. And then Jackie's like, why don't you try these things, bro? I put these on. Oh, my God. It just opens up. It was unbelievable. My mouth is shut all night, and it just. And then I went online nowadays selling them. These are just throwaways. Every night, you can buy a ring of four of them, and they pull apart your nose at different levels, right?
