The guys give engagement advice for all the young dudes, before giving an update on how "THE MAN" has changed over the years (are they better...they don't think so). A little behind the scenes fashion from the road, and a look back on how Principals have changed throughout the year. A takedown of frankenstein Hokas, and is Europe all it is cracked up to be? They don't have the answers, but I don't know, maybe they do. Go on a laugh vacation y'all, it's time for another cast!

K Pop Demon Hunters, Saja Boy's Breakfast Meal and Hunt Tricks Meal have just dropped at McDonald's. They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi?
Pete Correli
It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day. It is an honor to share. No, it's our honor. It is our larger honor. No, really, stop. You can really feel the respect in this battle.
Announcer
Pick a meal to pick a side.
Pete Correli
Ba da ba ba ba. And participate in McDonald's while supplies last.

This is the Pete and Sebastian show
Pete Correli
with Pete Corrielli and Sebastian Maniscalco. Yeah. Yay. Yeah.
Commercial Voice
All right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
All right, Here we go. Pete and Sebastian Show. We are back up and running.
Commercial Voice
What?
Pete Correli
What's up, ma'?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Am?
Pete Correli
You're right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Correli
Let's start up the gas. Listen, I got. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but I've been hearing some more about it lately through friends and family. And I know it's a thing what should take on when two people are getting engaged and they set it up so that family is like, either off to the side witnessing it from a distance or, you know, once the. She says yes, my family's in the other room and we're all going to celebrate, or any kind of celebration, like, with the family right after the engagement. I. Oh, and then. Oh, I heard one about hiding someone. Hiding once and having the friend videotape it. And like, how do you. What's your take? How do you think? To the youth today, to young guys. You're in your early mid-20s, you're in love, you're gonna get engaged. How do you do? Because I have an opinion about all that shit.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, give it to me.
Pete Correli
It's a personal thing. It's the first very, very personal thing of many to come. Hopefully with the two of you, you don't need to video it because guys, like, you're never going to look at it. The only time I see my photo of me and my wife in a wedding is when I see the going through. Like, you're not going to look at any of this shit. Enjoy the moment and then don't. Share with mommy and Daddy and friends and family. You want to make a call a little later on? Yeah. We're engaged. It's great, but it's. If I was a woman and a man asked me to marry her and I said yes, and then his mother jumped out from behind the curtain and said, welcome to the family, I'd say, no, I changed my mind, give the ring right back.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And I.
Pete Correli
Dart.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Correli
Was it a family affair? You were older.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I'm with you. I. I don't like that. Would you marry me? Oh, my God, yes. And then that comes out of the bushes.
Pete Correli
What the. You know, the guy's filming with the ring. Will you marry me?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Here, hold on.
Pete Correli
He's getting his own hand in the holy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So I had planned my engagement to do it when we were in Naples, Florida, because after I got engaged, it was the holidays. It was Thanksgiving, so Lana was going to be with her family and friends. So there's like, a celebratory component to the engagement, because once you get engaged, the first thing you want to do now is tell people, right?
Pete Correli
Pretty much. Yes. Yes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Even when you got engaged to Jackie, I'm sure that she wanted to call her mom and dad. Oh, my God. Pete asked me to marry. You know, like, there's, like, something.
Pete Correli
Well, they knew it was coming because I asked. I did it old school, so they knew I was about to. But. Yes. But you. Do you want to announce? You want to call everyone? Absolutely. So it's, like, very exciting.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You get engaged. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Pete Correli
Yes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. You hug. Now what do we do? Now what do we do?
Pete Correli
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, I tell people no. Or do you want to just sit there and bask in the glow?
Pete Correli
Announce. Announce. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay, so I kind of understand. We got engaged, and then the family's somewhere nearby. I understand it, but I understand you're, like, wanting to enjoy the moment together. And I'm not saying this because I kind of did something similar where I got engaged, and then we went out to dinner with her family right after that. So we came down to get in a car, and she was engaged.
Pete Correli
But did they know that you were doing it?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, they knew because I had asked for permission, but they didn't know when it was coming.
Pete Correli
Okay, so they weren't.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's fine then. That's fine.
Pete Correli
They're not a part of it. Then you down.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It wasn't.
Pete Correli
Oh, my God. Yeah. So it's not like they're down there going, I wonder if he's on his knee right now.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Pete Correli
That's, you know, that's the big thing. And I kind of understand what you're saying and where you're coming from. So that's a little bit separate. But I do feel like, yeah, I didn't even want to spend the night with other people that night, maybe make a couple of phone calls, but, you know, yeah, it was just about us, too. And I just think everything today, now, is a little too. I can't use the words I want to use. The two words that come. Men are a little bouncy now. They're a little like pussies, you know? Yeah, man. I mean, show a little alpha, man. You know, Just like, here's the ring. You want to call your mother? Call your mother. I thought we'd go out to dinner. Like, oh, here's what I wanted to say. If my daughter was getting married. And the son. And my future son in law asked my permission, which I appreciate, right? And then he says, I want to. I really thought it'd be nice if you and my parents were in the next room. We're at a restaurant. And I'm going to ask your daughter to marry me at our favorite restaurant. And then you guys will come out from the back room. I'm gonna have to say, john, I give you permission to marry my daughter. And welcome to my family, but I'm not gonna participate in that. But I look forward to the phone call that evening from you and my daughter on FaceTime. And Jackie and I will be happy to celebrate, but I'm not gonna hop a Delta flight to sit in the fucking back room at a tavern. Cause you two live in Boston, so I could toast with you. Wait. Let's get used to the fact that I'm not gonna just drop my shit and come to wherever you are. Whatever you think, Mo.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So you're setting a precedent. Like, you ain't running this, John. I am.
Pete Correli
Well, you're less of a man probably than I am because you're raised at a different time period. So some of the things you're gonna do, I'm gonna find bouncy, and I'm not gonna be doing them. I'm assuming, John, that you're gonna be going to the baby shower, too. Don't invite me to that shit either. When the time comes.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, or for a manicure or for
Pete Correli
a glass of fucking white wine, guy. You know what? I'll make a list. Shit. Just a different man. A man is not what a man was. And I'm not making fun of the new man. He's probably making fun of me. That's fine. But, you know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, you make a great point, you know, by the way, you had white wine in my pool, and you had one of the best times of your life. So I don't know what you're talking about. With the white wine.
Pete Correli
There was a lot. Yeah. I did have a great time, and that wine was fantastic. But I haven't drank. But I haven't drank it since, Guy. I haven't drank it since. It's a decadent night. It was a decadent night.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We were talking about. I don't know if this has come out yet. We were talking about on a Patreon, how women have changed over time. And what I forgot to get to on that episode was how men have also changed over time. Am I the same guy as my grandfather? No. My grandfather used to pop the hood of a car and figure out what's wrong with the engine. I have not popped the hood of a car in 30 years.
Pete Correli
Right, well, you know what your version of that is? The way you handled yourself in heavy turbulence on the private plane, that's your pop in the hood of the car. It was stubborn. There's no need to pop the hood of a car. Cars don't break down anymore. I can't do that. I can't do what? You know, I can't brand the horse. I can't like these things. We don't do these things anymore.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I know, but back in the day, my grandfather, they fixed stuff on their own. There's something wrong with the toilet. They weren't running.
Pete Correli
Yeah, no, I know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
To call a plumber. You know what I'm saying? So the man has changed over the years. And is it for the better? I don't think so. Okay. I'm not the man my grandfather was. I'm not the man my father was. It's been a watered down version over time. Although I think Caruso is going to supersede my grandfather in this manly shit that he's going to be doing. Okay. That's just from what I'm seeing right now, my son wants to fix shit. He's like, daddy, I want to fix that. And it's like, I can't even. I'm kind of failing as a father in the fix it shit. Daddy, let's fix that. Daddy. Daddy don't got the tools for that. But he's very like. He wants to tinker, right? So I take it you're not going to go to the gender reveal of what the baby is going to be, a boy or a girl, when they go and hit the golf ball and blue powder shoots out of the golf ball.
Pete Correli
Right, Right. And, bro, it's not even, I'm an old school guy. Like, it's, it's simply, oh, I don't, I don't belong there. Oh, that's, I don't belong there as a man. Like, like it's that simple. You know what I mean? Like, if, if I heard, if I heard my wife say marjan, what day, I knew she's not going to hang up and ask me if I want to join. That's like, oh, it's mahjong. That's like, not me.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah.
Pete Correli
So. So I don't know when these things became us. Who, who started it? Who thought that would be a good idea, that we would want to do some of those things? What, man?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, again, this is, this goes back to the. It all kind of like meshing together where it was back in the 50s and 60s. It was designated this is man shit, this is woman shit. And these two worlds never collide. Now it's, it's all one clop of shit and nobody what's what. Right? Right.

Pete Correli
And then if you show, I'll give you an example and you could appreciate this man, if you show any, like, alpha, it's like, almost like a shockwave. So I'm playing in this past weekend. I'm playing in Portland, Maine. Wonderful people that came, but, oh, boy, was it a light crowd. But they were awesome. But anyway, so I'm up in the. In the theater green room. And so again, it's. It's cold and it's up there alone. So the sort of feature comes in. And I've been told. I mean, the opener comes in. I've been told, hey, I know you want so and so to do. Let's say his name is Jim. You want a Jim to do 20 minutes? This is what the production manager says, says he can do about 17. And I go, oh, all right. That's pretty specific. But sure, if he feels comfortable doing 17, that's fine, right? So then that guy leaves. So 10 minutes later, Jim comes in, and I meet him. Hey, nice to meet you. And he goes, oh, great to meet you too. You know. And he goes, this will be fun. I go, so do you live here in Portland? Yeah, there's a decent scene around here. And I don't know, man. Five years ago, I kind of just did an open mic and kind of kept going. I had a great year. And then I've just been having a real good run, and I love it. I'm just having a good run with it. And I go, wow, man, good for you. I'm glad to hear it. Because I said, how long you been doing it? And then he said all that. I go, well, good for you, man. I'm glad to hear you're loving it. And it's going so good. So. But then what if you have such a good run? He said that, like, you can only do 17 tonight. And he goes, I go, you can't do 20. And he goes, well, I'm just, like, prepared to do 17. So when he asked me about doing 20, I go, you can't fucking come walking in here telling me it's been, you know, lollipops and rainbows for five years of standup. And then I you to do an extra three minutes, and you need fucking four days to work it out. I go, you know, what the fuck? He goes, no, well, you know. No, you're right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You're right.
Pete Correli
I think. I think I could do 20. I think I. All right. I just. I don't know, man. You just made it sound like you rock and roll and like, you know, you're bumping Bob Marley. That's what the fucking made it Sound to me, Jesus. So again, does that make me some big loud dick? Because I just called you out on your bullshit alpha male. We don't know how to fix shit. But you still got that in you, too. Like, you know, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, him saying 17 would tell me he's got 12. You know, it's like, exactly.
Pete Correli
Right, right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
He had to actually go, oh, fuck, he wants me to do 20. I could probably. I only got 12. I could probably stretch to 17. No one's got 17. No one's got 17. I didn't walk around ever going, I got a solid 17, bro. You got 5, 10, 20, 30. 17 is not like. That's not even a number in the comedian's head. You know what I'm saying?
Pete Correli
It isn't. Yeah, do the set. Do it to 18. And I want to see if I could really see the significant drop at the 17 minute mark to the 18 minutes. Joker. Oh, yeah. We went from calling to, you know, amateur. So I don't know. But anyway, yeah, it was all very specific, and I kind of called him out on. I think he was, like, just taken aback by it. But again, man, that's like that kind of. Because men don't call each other on shit. With a last generation that even does that, it seems like, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Well, you want to talk about old school? I want to talk about this. And I don't even know if it's on your. Your Instagram anymore. Can you pull up Pete's Instagram? He has.
Pete Correli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Okay. This is. This is reminiscent, dare I say, of my grandfather. I'm gonna say 1977. Is this Pete's?
Pete Correli
No, it's not on there anymore. It's not on there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, it's gone. Oh, yeah, bro, there is. Oh, there it is right there. It's there. It's there.
Pete Correli
It's not supposed to be there.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's right there. That would hit. Yeah, that. That one.
Pete Correli
What the hell? I removed it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, no, no, no, bro. Let's.
Pete Correli
Let's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Let's print. Let's bring this.
Pete Correli
I don't know, guy. I don't know if I want this update because I purposely removed it, guy. Why?
Sebastian Maniscalco
This is fucking brawl.
Pete Correli
All right, all right, okay, all right. We see enough.
Sebastian Maniscalco
We see. All right, bro, does this snap?
Pete Correli
Media. Media. Content. Content. But does this.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Does this snap at the crotch? This fucking. This shirt?
Pete Correli
Hey, wearing one right now. I'll do the rest of the cast if you want any. Let me just show it to you. It's a Tommy John, bro. I don't know what you're doing.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, Tommy John. Are not fucking, bro. It's out of the 1973 collection. This is.
Pete Correli
Sometimes my. My. Sometimes my cross ra around the thing. I gotta untangle this. Are you still doing a necklace, by the way?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I took it off because I had a massage. Dare I say, is a massage something that's like pussy? Is a massage a pussy?
Pete Correli
Nah, bro. It's like. You ever watch Sex in the city? Mr. Big, yeah, he was very cosmopolitan, but he was a man. And his versions of a man. Mr. Big don't know how to fix a car either. But it's just the way. It's a way you carry yourself. You know, a woman wants to be, you know. Okay. So as a woman, I don't want to. I don't want to walk next to someone that I feel like I could take in a fight.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So. So you're saying you could go to the opener. Let me. Let me see if this fits in your world. You could go to the opener guy, you come in here and you say you're the next Dane Cook and you could only do 17. The fuck, right?
Pete Correli
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
And then you go, excuse, I'm gonna get my nails done.
Pete Correli
Well, is.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That.
Pete Correli
Is not that guy. That's not. That's a different kind of guy. You know what I'm saying? It's like, well, what are we talking?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Sinatra. Sinatra was getting his nails done, but then he. Then he's looking to pick a fight with whoever.
Pete Correli
Yeah, yeah, okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah, I guess this is the way you went like that, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That same guy could get a manicure, I guess it's all the way. You. Kyrie said. Okay, yeah, man, I know. You know, I'm just.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm just trying to figure out what type of guy, because I. Again, I started this cast, and we probably didn't hear it because we cut it out because there was so much garbage in the beginning of it. I started by saying the. The kids today, as I'm looking around, right?
Commercial Voice
Just.
Sebastian Maniscalco
They don't even know how to run. They don't even know how to run. Right. You know, I'm like watching them run, but it's just. It's like a. It's kind of like a. You know, and it's like what the. You know, like, even the running has gone. You know what I'm saying?
Pete Correli
Yeah, yeah. Well, I. It's funny, man, because, yeah, it. I. I was watching. It's a funny story I want to tell you about that. Just Yesterday, Sadie wants to try out for JV track. Now, when you're at the age she's at, when you're in seventh or eighth grade, they have a test, at least in New York. I don't know if they have anywhere else where you have to pass this physical test before you can even try out for that JV team because you're underage. You're not, you know, you're not like already in junior high. And it's also for legal purposes, like make sure you physically can handle it. And you got to do like a certain amount of sit ups in a minute. You have to do some push ups. You have to run like 30 odds in a certain amount of time. And then the last thing you have to do is you have to run a mile in under 7 minutes and 23 seconds. And they're 12. And we go there yesterday and it's 20 degrees out and Jackie's like, oh, they must be running inside because it's too cold to run outside. And they're all waiting, it's after school to take the test. And again, it's like at one point it's all these kids and me and Jackie and I go, jack, get out of here. She goes, well, I just want to ask the coach how long it's going to take. I go, jack, there's no other parents here. Let's get out of here. You know, can't be hanging out with Sadie. And I go, we'll figure it out, right? So we go to leave, and as we're leaving, the guy comes in, it's the football coach, and he goes, all right, we're going to do this test that. Then we're all going to go outside and we're going to do the a mile around the track. And everybody's pretty much in shorts and it's 20 degrees outside. And Jackie goes, sadie, you want me to have dad run home and get you tights or this or that? And Sadie's like, ma, no, no, just get in the car. Just go, right? So then we go and we get out in the car and then we find out it's going to be an hour. So we're going to come back in 45 minutes just to catch the end when they got to run the mile. So now we're sitting, we get back, we're sitting in a Tahoe and all these kids come walking out of the gym right past our car. I don't even know if Sadie knew we were there. And they all go up to the track and it's the last part of the test, you got to run it. And under that amount of time, and if you don't, you can't try out. You got to just play seventh or eighth grade. So then some of the parents started getting out to go route. That kid on. And Jackie and I are like, we're not doing that donut test. We're not going to get involved in that. But you can hear we have to roll down the window. And as they're coming around, the coach will yell out the time. And Sadie was kind of pacing herself. And then they got one lap. She's about to do a second to last lap. And the coach goes like four minutes or whatever. And Jackie goes, all right, if she keeps up that pace, she'll do it. She'll just. But just barely. And I go, well, I don't know if she'll keep up that pace, Jack, because she started out fast. And then I go, you should probably go out there and tell her to put it. And she's like, you're right. So that was. We sent Jackie out there to go up to tell Sadie, next time around, get the fucking. Get your ass in gear, because you're not. You might not make it on the top, right? So Jackie goes up to do that. That's. More and more parents are doing that. This is like, this shit did not happen in the 70s. My dad would be having it right at that moment. He have a cigarette dangling out of his mouth in his office design and shit for 200 miles away in the city, right? So then I'm like, she's not going to be enough. So I go up and everyone's standing here. I go, like, where they have like a hot dog concession stand. I go behind it when other parents. So when Sadie's coming around for the last day, I go, you got to say go, go. You know, there's other girls there. And as she's running, she looks at me and she's like, I get back in the car. She comes down. She did it. She's like, dad, did you see me giving you the cut? I go, yeah, I'm sorry. See, I get into it. She's like, I had it. I didn't you a moment. I mean, mom's cheering over there. Then I come around the hot dog stand, and you're cheering over there. So I feel like we're the cause of it, man. Because. Because we're not raising them the way our parents raised us. So we expect them to be something that. Why would they be? When I'm like, you got this kid hiding in the bushes. Jackie's like, you want me to send dad home to get you? What? They take three steps and they're not even hot anymore anyway, you know?

Nah, I know there's a lot of, like, involvement. So you feel the need as a parent. Yeah.
Pete Correli
You sweet talking your boy because he doesn't want to go out and play soccer with kids he's never played with before? Yeah. What a reason. I know.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That's what I'm saying. Like, why. Why all of a sudden are we doing this stuff and our parents could give a shit? I don't know.
Pete Correli
Do we love our kids more than our parents loved us?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know.
Pete Correli
I feel like. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know. I feel like if you. If. If that's all you do is like, contribute to the pussification of your kid.
Pete Correli
If that's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
If that's all you do. Yeah, then you got a problem. But I feel like we're playing both sides of the aisle. Yeah. There's times where we're cheering on our kid behind the concession, and then you come home and you tell your kid what the fuck you doing? You know, like, there's like a good balance there, right?
Pete Correli
Yeah. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I had it similar last week. And I don't know if they're doing this. I don't know if this is a west coast thing, but Pajama day, you guys Got that?
Pete Correli
Oh, yeah, yeah, yep. Another one. Never heard of that growing up. Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
So this is another. Is another reason why I think there is a crumbling of today's youth. Pajama day, right? You come to school in your pajamas.
Pete Correli
Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now, is there any correlation to adults going to the airport in their pajamas? Because you see this.
Pete Correli
That's right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Can we make a direct correlation? Like, oh, we did pajama day in school and now we're starting to see it as an adult at the thing where the kid coming with the ugg slippers, now that, you know the pillow, they got a blanket. They basically got their whole bed on the airplane, right?
Pete Correli
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
So I'm looking at this going. And then some of these kids are taking it to another. Some. Some come to school with a sleep mask. This ain't Halloween, man. Oh, my God. And then what do you think it is? Some schools. Let me take it back. My cousin, and he's on the same level, he said Halloween went to the school and the principal was dressed up as Big Bert. Right? Yeah. No. Yeah. Kids see that, right? Look at the principal, Big Bert. Growing up, my principal never came out of the office. I didn't fucking see the principal around the school. It was like the wizard of Oz. The fucking principal.
Pete Correli
You're talking high school or elementary.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I'm talking anything. Principal wasn't really like active with the student body. Growing up, primarily grades kindergarten through fifth grade. Our principal was Mrs. Gifford, ex nun, but teaching in a public school system. And if you ever got from your teacher, you're going to go see the principal. Like in the words, you're going to go see the principal means you haven't sought a principal at all this year, even around, right. So the fear of, I'm going to go see the person running this shit was scary because you didn't even know. I remember I got sent to the principal's office and I didn't even know where it was. People had to tell me where. I go, where is it? It's down the corner to the right and then down this dark hallway. And then, and then he went in, right? And it was like, oh, my God. And then I saw the principal was like, oh my God, this is the principal. Like, I'm sorry. If you see the principal dressed up as Big Bird. And then next week the teacher goes, you're gonna go see the principal. The kid's going, fuck, I saw the principal last week dressed up as fucking Big Bird. Why am I gonna be scared of the principal? How frightening is this?
Pete Correli
You're right, man. It just takes that away. It was always. It was always scary to see the principal and once in a while, our principal. By the way, you always knew. At least growing up, if you didn't know who the principal was, you knew because it was the only guy in a su. Walk in the hallway when I did see him. And it was always an intimidating thing. It wasn't a communal thing like that.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The teachers now look like the students growing up. I remember I had a teacher. Her name was Mrs. Carlin and Mrs. Widerman. They came to school in a. Like a blouse. Beautiful blouse, right? Long sleeve, billowing shirt. Nice skirt past the knees, nylon and a short heel. Oh, if anybody walked in the room, you would go, that's the teacher.
Pete Correli
Right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Now you walk in the room and the teacher. It's got Hoka Zan, by the way, this fucking Hoka shit's bothering me. Pull up Hoka. Have you seen it? H O K A. It's.
Pete Correli
It's a sneaker.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, it's a shoe, right? But it looks like my father's wearing this shit. The big black one. This is that. This is footwear for today's educational system. And it happens to be my father's shoe at 80. And I never thought I'd see my father walk. Walking around in what looks to be.
Pete Correli
Yeah, these. I know, they're so popular, man.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, I'm not into him. The heel is huge. It's too big.
Pete Correli
Too big.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It looks like Frankenstein. My father. My father's got you. My father's 135 pounds, dripping wet, and his shoes are 134 pounds. You know what I'm saying? The shoe outweighs my father.
Pete Correli
I. The other day when I was getting ready to go on stage, which is. The shoe's not heavy, the shoe's light. I think you're mistaken. Did you pick. Did you grab the shoe?
Sebastian Maniscalco
It looks heavy.
Pete Correli
Oh, it looks heavy, but it's like I had them.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I bought these shoes. This was seven, eight years ago. I had these shoes and I looked ridiculous in them. I looked ridiculous.
Pete Correli
Were you comfortable? Were you comfortable?
Sebastian Maniscalco
I might have been comfortable, but the look of how I looked outweighed the fact that I was comfortable.
Pete Correli
And someday it won't. So don't throw them out. And that's where your dad's at. And that's where. And this is the fascinating question I wanna ask you and Patrick. This would really appreciate if you find anything on this. Long story short, the other night I said to Jackie, this is a light crowd if anything, this might be a good opportunity. I brought my nice pair of Brooks sneakers, black ones. And I go, maybe I'll just wear my sneakers tonight. I want to see if I'll be any more physical up there because I have sneakers on than my boots. And she goes, dad, you're going to wear sneakers up there. You know what's going to happen. And I go, I know what's going to happen. I'm going to put them on and look in the mirror and I'm going to think I'm a boy and I'm not going to wear them. And I. And that's just me. And I don't wear sneakers. Sneakers. So I go up there and I wear my boots again. I can't fix a hood, but that's an alpha male thing to me. I wear my boots or shoes or something right now. There's going to be a day where I physically. Will there be a day? I mean, there's a cowboy with cowboy boots till his last breath. What was sinatra wearing at 81 years old when he'd go out for dinner? Because if he was in your dad's sneakers, then I'm going to sleep better at night when I tie those things on. But I can't imagine he was.
Sebastian Maniscalco
If we could get a photo head to toe of what Sinatra was wearing in the latter years of his life. Can I just read this? He just pulled it up. This is how good Sinatra was. There's no reliable documentation of Frank Sinatra routinely wearing orthopedic. Even if he was wearing them, he never went out in public. He didn't even want it documented, bro, this guy was in a tuxedo at 80. I don't know what he was wearing to go, bro, I don't even think this guy went out to get anything, to be honest with you. He probably had his valet go, hey, can you go give me some? Yeah. There's no documentation. If Frank Sinatra wearing anything other than
Pete Correli
dress shoes, then, see, there you go. And it begs the question, you know, because like, you say pajama date, we have it here, and I go to my daughter's, like, we want to be comfortable. I go, how is it any different when the other four days are sweatpant day anyway? And my question is, why do people, especially men, you don't. Why do you deserve to be like. How do you deserve to be comfortable? Or do you. Do you have to look good till the end, like a cowboy? Like, I'm saying, these cowboys wear cowboy boots till their last breath. Man, that is manly. Literally with their last breath, they're like, my feet are fucking killing me,
Sebastian Maniscalco
But
Pete Correli
I look good dying.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, no, I, I, I, I, I think you have to maintain an image. I mean, did you go up on stage with the sneakers?
Pete Correli
No, I didn't. But I guarantee you if I make it by knock wood to your pops age, I'm probably going to hoka it up too.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I would im. I want to talk about Europe. We're on the brink of summer. Summer's around the corner, right? People are talking vacations, right? Europe always comes up as a destination for some people, right? I want to go to Italy, I want to go to Greece and Spain and London, whatever. I love Italy, but I'm tired of getting ripped off. I think I'm tired with Europe as a whole when it comes to vacation. And I'll tell you why.
Pete Correli
All right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's overpriced, right? There's they're hosing people that they're charging people at these nice hotels. They're charging people an arm and a leg, right? Because they can't open up during the winter. No one goes in the winter, right? So because no one goes in the winter, they're going to charge you three, four times the cost because they were closed during the winter. Not my fucking problem. It's snowing here, right?
Pete Correli
Listen, the simplest version of that in two seconds here. When I flew to Montana two years ago to do this whole, that whole Flathead ranch lake that I love, I go, let's fly in a day early, just in case, Jack, we don't want to miss a day at Flathead. And there's a beautiful best Western. It's $560 a night. It must be gorgeous. They got in ground pool, it overlooks the mountains. We pull in. It's a fucking Best Western that could be in Schenectady. It's a Best Western. No amenity. A fucking totally just a dirty. Why is it so much? Well, because no one wants can fly here in the winter. No one comes in the winter. People only come for this two and a half month period. So now I'm paying almost over a half a thousand dollars for a Best Western. So that's just a bigger version of it when you go to Italy, right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. Well, not only that, if you're going to charge me an arm and a leg, I'm not into this. Here's the key to the room. And it's some like wooden key that you like use at a castle. You ever get these like.
Pete Correli
What are you saying? That's The. That's the authenticity. I'd be mad if I didn't get that. Oh, what are you saying? And I leave it at the front desk in the little cup.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Oh, God, no. I'm sorry. Give me the wand. I wave and I open the door. I don't want to sit there tinkering.
Pete Correli
I don't need to be there. I'll just go to Vegas. If I check into a beautiful hotel in Rome and they hand me. Or anywhere in Italy and they hand me the. The electric key, what am I at the wind? Just give me the night. I love it. With the little tassel on it or something. Keep it. The Hasla Hotel in Rome had that. I loved it. I was like, what's this big thing? Well, you leave it at the front desk on your way out.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What's going on with you?
Pete Correli
I gotta go.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I can't just go out my room and go to dinner. I have to give the key to the front. Hold on, let me get the key. Because I can't put it in my pocket because it don't even fit. I gotta carry this damn thing around with a tassel.
Pete Correli
You're not supposed to carry it around. You leave it at the front desk, you don't have to worry about losing it.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I make a special trip to the front desk. Cause it drop off a key.
Pete Correli
It's right there. It's on your way out. It's probably a beautiful little front desk that you always can take another glance at and enjoy the bigger question. I think at the end of this story, I really want to cut you off here because I think you'd be very emotional. This is the homeland for you. What's next then? Where would you go outside of America? What's next on the target list? Maybe a little Sardinia. Egypt. Well, I don't know. Something exotic.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know where Sardinia is. In Italy, too.
Pete Correli
Oh, that's right. Isn't it an island off Italy, though?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, but it's part of Italy. Let me. Let me give you another. You check in, you got the key.
Pete Correli
It's old.
Sebastian Maniscalco
The whole. The whole. The whole thing. The Internet. Okay. You can never get good Internet in Europe.
Pete Correli
Not supposed to. You're not supposed to want it when you're in Europe.
Sebastian Maniscalco
What do you work for, the Bureau of Europe?
Pete Correli
Just the things you're complaining about. It's like, you know, you're being too. You sound like an American tourists. This doesn't sound like you. What?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, no, no, no. You're charging me an arm and a leg. Okay, you got no Internet, all right? The hotel room's old.
Commercial Voice
It's old.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Sorry, it's old.
Pete Correli
That's the charm.
Sebastian Maniscalco
No matter how, don't give me, oh, it's charming. It's old, it's falling down. Make it look still, keep the character, but give me modern amenities.
Pete Correli
All right, all right. Well, I think you should go to Japan, bro. I think Japan is calling for you and Lana.
Sebastian Maniscalco
They're angry that you're there. They're angry. I've noticed this the last time I went to Europe is like, they get bombarded for three months with the tourism, right? So if you're working tourism for three months, you only got three months to work. Let's put a smile on you. Your face when I'm here, right?
Pete Correli
You could fake it. You could fake it for 90 days.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah, let's not do an eye roll when I order a cannoli.
Pete Correli
You know,
Sebastian Maniscalco
I, I.
Pete Correli
Too bad we can't have everybody just stop going there for five years. Yeah, nobody go to Italy. And now, you know. Careful what you wish for, you all. You don't want us there messing up your three months. Now you got it to yourselves, and now you got nothing. And then when we come back, you'll be a little nicer.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I think they're getting spoiled over there, where it's like, oh, they're going to come anyway, whether or not we serve or not, or whether we remodel or not. It's just old. And I don't know why, but when I walk around Italy, the stairs, the concrete, my body is killing me. I don't know what it is. It's old.
Pete Correli
So you want them to renovate the entire country from soup to nuts? Don't renovate nothing. Don't renovate nuts.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Don't charge me an arm and a leg for old shit.
Pete Correli
You don't gotta change nothing. Just lower your price.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Lower the price to match what I'm walking into.
Pete Correli
There you go. Then you borrow your old man's hocus. It's a lower price. And now you love Italy again. That's it. And you walk back around.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I could walk around in pain from cobblestone streets if I know I'm getting. If I'm paying $400 a night at a hotel. Don't charge me exorbitant amount of money when I can't even log onto the Internet to figure out where to go on a map, you know, I'm saying, like, oh, okay, yeah, you can walk down there. Okay, let me pull it up on the thing. Just Get.
Pete Correli
Get with the times.
Sebastian Maniscalco
You could keep the charm, but give me high speed Internet.
Pete Correli
All right?
Sebastian Maniscalco
Right.
Pete Correli
Yeah, well, but I mean, okay, but like, what about. Have you ever thought about. And you probably have, when I see those ads, I don't even know if they're real. But like, these towns that are like, almost abandoned and how you can buy homes in these towns, they almost pay you to come there, right? Like, would you have any interest in like, buying one and having it fixed up to be what you want it to be and it's your Italy escape for you and the family? Or do you like. Because to all different parts of Italy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Yeah. You go to these towns, everything's old. If you're gonna. If you're gonna charge me a penny for the house and then you got no running water or no amenities, what the hell good is the house? You know? Like, the town's gotta be self sufficient. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Come here. Buy the house for a dollar, but for grocery shopping, you got to go three and a half hours away because our town isn't developed anymore.
Pete Correli
Right. Yeah.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Who would you pull up? Renovation costs dwarf the price. These properties are often derelict and can need tens of thousands of euros, sometimes 100 to $300,000 of structural work, utilities, roofing, seismic upgrades. Yeah, yeah, I buy the house for a penny, but I gotta spend 3 million to get the thing up and running.
Pete Correli
And I'm living here all alone because no one else did this. And I'm like, you know, geez, you could have it. I don't know what the end game is with Italy, man. I don't know how that's gonna play itself out. But, man, when you're talking, talking like this, boy.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Whoa. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, last time I went there, it was a little underwhelming with the amount of money that I was paying and what I was getting for my money.
Pete Correli
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't need an attitude. I don't need an attitude from, from or from them. For. Yeah, for that price.
Pete Correli
All right, well, I remember when you told me when you went to the Blue Grotto and they got a guy with a cash register on a floating dock. I'm like, oh, they are, they get.
Sebastian Maniscalco
They're not messing around. Yeah. And everything's a tax there. It's like a peak in the socialism that I don't want to see.
Commercial Voice
Right.
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's like VAT tax, tourist tax, you know, everything's like a tax on top of the price. All right. Tourism tax, all this tag. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. It's overpriced. I say we pull back on Europe, let the prices go down, and then we trickle back in periodically. Right. I think there. I say you should just start telling families you get one trip to Europe every five years.
Pete Correli
Wow. That's. Most people, bro, you're so out of touch. Would say a lifetime. You're going. We're gonna keep it to every five.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I mean, come on.
Pete Correli
Disney World is the one you gotta cut back on every year.
Sebastian Maniscalco
That too. You should get limits of times. You can go to these places. Sort of prices like they're soaking people left and right. At Disney World. Yeah. With the tickets and the amount of money that you have to spend there with the food. Yeah.
Pete Correli
No, I know. You were saying $12.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Go from scratch.
Pete Correli
By the way, before we end, I just want to tell you, you really need to start to think about getting into a little country music. I know we can't play music on the Pete Sebastian show for licensing purposes, but a little Zach Brian. Pink Skies. Put that on next time you're in your office. It's. It's. It's just. I'm really liking country, bro. All right. It's good stuff.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Maybe I'll turn the corner and start listening to some country.
Pete Correli
Can't dance to it. But you're dancing days. I saw you dancing on video recently. You still got the moves, bro.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I still got it. I still got it. It's still there.
Pete Correli
How's your song doing? Is it shorting?
Sebastian Maniscalco
It's not even out. It's not even out yet.
Pete Correli
Oh, it didn't come out?
Sebastian Maniscalco
No, I just got the video. We did a video music video to it. You'll start seeing that soon, but.
Pete Correli
Nice, man. That's great. That's great.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Good hang?
Pete Correli
Yeah. I don't know if that's.
Sebastian Maniscalco
I don't know if that Russian shit's gonna make it. That Russian shit's a little harsh.
Pete Correli
What? We were complimenting them for being so tough. All right, maybe not. The show has ended.
Sebastian Maniscalco
Tommy John or not, bro, it's out of the 1973 collection. This is.

Duration (content only): ~01:03–47:52
In this milestone 700th episode, comedians Pete Correale and Sebastian Maniscalco celebrate the state of modern manhood and parenthood with their signature blend of sarcasm, nostalgia, and sharp observational humor. The show’s central theme revolves around how customs have shifted over generations—whether it's engagements, child-rearing, comedy culture, or even how people dress for airplanes. With Pete’s personal stories and Sebastian’s acerbic commentary, the duo comedically bemoan the "softening" of current society, all while reflecting on their own roles as parents and performers.

The show keeps its typical boisterous, riff-heavy chemistry, with frequent tangents, mock outrage, affectionate insults, and nostalgic longing for a grittier, simpler past. Both hosts use comedic exaggeration, sarcasm, and a conversational, “barbershop” style banter that’s deeply relatable for their core audience.
Episode 700 is a classic Pete and Sebastian time-capsule—poking fun at the way society, comedy, and even personal lives have shifted. With personal anecdotes and high-energy banter, they dissect everything from engagement spectacle and the changing definition of manliness, to the absurdity of kids’ "Pajama Day" and the perils of overpriced Italian hotels. For listeners, the laughs come quickly, but the underlying message is a wistful—and often hilarious—plea for a tougher, less coddled world.
