Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Pete's Fireplace Fiasco and Lawsuit Fantasies

• [01:21–08:53]
  • Pete finds out his new house’s fireplace is built dangerously: underneath the ash dump, there’s a piece of dry wood—a nearly 50-year-old fire hazard.
  • A chimney inspector says to fix it, the fireplace would need to be ripped out ($25,000).
  • Pete reflects on the madness of housing markets where buyers waive inspections to win bids: “If you say, ‘Can we have a moment?’ you can have a moment down the fucking block, ‘cause you can’t have the house now. Goodbye.” (Pete, 03:49)
  • He tries to hunt down the previous chimney company for a potential lawsuit, playing detective only to find out no one wants to admit knowledge of the defect.
  • Sebastian shares a similar story from his own home, where he did catch the issue in inspection, leading to a debate about responsibility and honesty in real estate.

2. Homeowner Headaches & Neighborhood Observations

• [13:31–16:39]
  • Sebastian laments the constant barrage of expensive, annoying house issues—now it’s dead olive trees needing to be replaced via a truck “flying olive trees over the house.”
  • He gets heated about neighbors who neglect their properties: “People who don’t take care of their lawn… it’s a shame. It really is.”
    • Memorable Quote: “There’s always one on the block that looks like, is someone dead inside? Should we do a welfare check because the grass is dirt?” (Sebastian, 16:08)

3. Car Rules: Cleanliness and Coffee

• [55:45–58:53]
  • The duo hilariously scrutinize whether it’s okay to bring coffee in someone else’s car. Pete’s been subtly shamed for bringing in a cup (with lid!) into Sebastian’s immaculate vehicle.
  • Sebastian’s rule: only “a water bottle, tight… not coffee!”
    • Memorable Quote: “You looked at me like I got in with a couple of frogs cupped in my hand.” (Pete, 55:57)
  • Both agree on a sense of pride and respect in keeping a car spotless.

4. Kid Sports & Coaches: U.S. vs. Foreign Style

• [18:05–23:43]
  • Sebastian rhapsodizes about his son’s soccer practices, particularly under a charismatic, “World Cup-ready” foreign coach who gives kids nicknames based on their shirts.
  • The contrast between “Coach Steve” (gentle, domestic) and the no-nonsense Euro approach:
    • “With the wood, you feel the danger… an ember could fall out and light the rug on fire… There’s something relaxing about watching that fire.” (Sebastian, 10:54)
    • “My son was ‘Ronaldo’ because of his shirt. Every kid that he don’t know the name becomes whatever they’re wearing: ‘Puma, get over here!’” (Sebastian, 23:09)

5. Parenting Culture: Gummy Bears and The Need to Numb?

• [62:41–67:08]
  • Sebastian expresses disbelief at the new parental trend of using cannabis edibles (gummies) to get through the day:
    • “Why do we gotta be fuckin' half blitzed out of our mind to get through soccer practice? Is it that bad?” (Sebastian, 63:03)
  • Pete calls it “the new white wine,” sparking a conversation about why so many parents feel the need to self-medicate and whether it’s different from the past.

6. Relationship Routines & Apologies

• [53:01–60:48]
  • Morning rituals become battlegrounds: Sebastian describes using Lana’s (his wife’s) espresso machine in her closet, incurring her pre-caffeine wrath.
    • After making peace through a string of apologies (complete with a hilarious double-apology), they dissect which partner says “sorry” more and who can just accept it and move on.
    • “Thanks for apologizing. I should have just left it at that. But I had to come in with a second one. It really caught me off guard.” (Sebastian, 58:53)

7. Social Etiquette: Fake Birthdays & Restaurant Rituals

• [36:00–41:08]
  • Do you celebrate fake birthdays just for fun when the family is together? Lana says yes:
    • “It's called fun. Spontaneity. Keeping it fresh.” (Lana, 38:34)
  • The men debate the correct way to sing ‘Happy Birthday’—and whether you ever accept new versions or remixes.
    • “Everything that’s good in this world, they still gotta come along and try to do something and change it.” (Pete, 41:08)

8. Celebrity Sightings & Producer Panic

• [68:34–79:37]
  • Green Day walks past in the SiriusXM hallway; Sebastian admits he’s too musically clueless to ask them on-air.
  • They riff on how hosts should have a “cheat sheet” of celebrity facts for surprise interviews.
  • Andrew, the producer, practices feeding info in real time, as Pete lobs celebrity names to see if Sebastian can keep up. Laughter ensues as they realize they’re not as quick or smooth as they hope.

See full terms@mint mobile.com and now, the Sebastian Maniscalco show. All right, welcome to the Sebastian Maniscalco Show. I'm gonna just jump right into it with Pete today. He's, you got a story wanted to share. Get some comments on this. What's, what's going on, Pete?

[Pete]

What do you got, bro? I, I don't even know if I got, I might even have a lawsuit here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know what's going on.

[Pete]

But so long story short, I had, you know, I got the fireplace, first time I ever had a fireplace in this new house. So I got to get it cleaned. So I call this company and they come, they send the guy and they're gonna sweep. It costs like 350 bucks. But when they sweep it, they go on the roof and they examine it and they give you an inspection thing on the whole chimney and like where it's at, right? So nice guy, right? And he comes off the roof and he goes, it looks like in pretty good shape. Better than 80% that I've seen. I'm like, all right, great. You know, now I just wanna, I'm just gonna run a camera down. There's a little thing right at the bottom of my fireplace, a little square and it's called an ash dump. And if you don't want to clean out the ashes, you just kind of move the door and you dump the ashes down there. Nobody does. I usually clean them out. But anyway, he goes, we run the camera down there, make sure everything looks good and you can see it on the monitor here. I'd like you to watch this with me when I run it down there, you know? So I'm standing over him, puts the camera down, and he gets just a little bit down. He's like, oh, oh, this is. This is no good. And you could see on the camera it's wood. And I'm like, what's the problem? Do you know about this stuff where I'm going with this?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. I'm familiar.

[Pete]

Okay, okay. So he goes, yeah, this is. This is wood. The house was built in the 80s. Back then, they built the house and built the fireplace right there. And they didn't think much about it, but the brick gets really hot. I can't anybody interrupt myself. I can't believe you got through the winter without. You had fires going. Oh, I can't believe I might. I want to be like, the house was built in 1980. Are you gonna. 49 winters in a row. I mean, shit. So he goes. And then he reaches down, he's like, yeah, I can. And he. And he pulls up a piece of the wood, and he's like, yeah, you can see it's dried out here. It could combust at any given moment. The whole house could go down. I'm standing there. He goes, so. So, like, can we just take the wood out? We can't take it out without knocking out the whole fireplace for $25,000, right? Now, here's the thing. This is why I'm bringing this up. The people we bought this house off of this neighborhood is like, you want to get in here because the school district's good. So it's pretty crazy when a house comes for sale, you got to waive the freaking inspection. You got to waive everything the minute you ask for anything. The minute. If you say, excuse me, can we have a moment? You can have a moment down the fucking block, because you can't have the house now. Goodbye. Like, that's how quick. And they're not, like, unbelievable houses. It's just the school and stuff. You want to get in there. So we didn't get anything inspected, right? So anyway, so this is where we're at, right? Where he's all of a sudden telling me this.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But the.

[Pete]

When we bought the house, the realtor showing me the house, and she goes, the chimney's been cleaned, and they've owned the house for seven years, and they had it cleaned, and they just never use it. But they had it cleaned recently in case anything was just, you know, webs or anything in there. But. And I go, in seven years, they've never used the fireplace. Why not? And she goes, they're just not fire people. They're just not fire people. And I was like, what the. Right? So now I'm like, did this guy know that this thing could burn down at any given moment and not tell me to make extra money? Listen, I'm all for pretending something looks better than it does to make a buck and hoping they don't notice, but, bro, this is like, my family could have died playing it up for the

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

cast for the radio show.

[Pete]

But. So this is how psychotic I get. I. I call every chimney because I. I go, were you guys first? I said to them, were you guys ever here before? And he goes, I'll look it up right now. And he looks up. He goes, no, we were never here. And I go to the guy, if I find the chimney place that. That was here, and if I could prove that they told the last owner that this was here, can I sue? And he's like, probably should. I don't know. So I start calling. I start calling all the chimney places, and I'm like, hi, I just bought a house, and the previous owner left your number. Apparently, you were the ones that lasted the chimney. And I just want to keep the business in the family. If you could look it up and I'm the one. And everyone would go, no, I have no record there. And then on the fourth one, like a detective, the guy goes, oh, yeah, I was out there. I was out there four years ago. And I'm, oh, did you clean it? Do you remember? And all of a sudden, he starts going, well, I don't have any record of what I did. I just. I was out, and I'm like, this guy now, he's. He's clamping up. I think he knows that I know that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He.

[Pete]

So. And I. And I. And I said, all right, I'll be back in touch with you. Thanks a lot, you know, because I'll definitely use you, too, to clean it. But what do you think, bro? Do you think that guy would, like, did that? And he still lives in the neighborhood, so if I saw him,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

this is a tough one. I had the same problem, by the way, when I bought my house.

[Commercial Voice]

Really?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

However, we caught it on the inspection, so when they inspected it, they noticed that the fireplace was wood, and we weren't able to use that fireplace, or you could use it, but they had the potential of catching fire, which I don't know why people are putting wood in the fireplace to begin with. I Mean, you would think that would be something that they would kind of look at beforehand and go, you know, wood catches on fire, we should probably leave it out of the fireplace chimney. But I knew before, so same thing, you know, you want to knock it down. It's a lot of money. 25, 30 grand. And then what? So are you. I mean, I know you love a fire, so what are you. What are you doing?

[Pete]

But. Well, that. The good news is that if there is any good news, there's not really. But he's like, you can get a nice. You have a gas line, so you can get a nice gas flame going with no window, because of the way the fireplace is. You won't need, like, that glass window. You'll have a nice, real flame, and you'll have the fake log. But it'll look. He's like, it'll look nice. And I had a friend who has it, and it looks fantastic. And I kind of OD'd on the firewood. I've been shopping, bro. Like, just chopping and cutting. And every time I make the fire, 10 minutes later, I'm poking it, adding paper. It's like it was consuming me, man. And it was smoking us out a little. So I guess down the line, it's better to go gas. But if I see this guy, because I told you, he was at that party last year when all the neighbors got together. Can you imagine if he's there next year? I'd be like, hey, my family almost burned.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How do you approach that, though? Do you go, did you know? I mean, you can't. I don't think you could just ask him. But how do you get him to admit it?

[Pete]

Well, there's nothing I'm getting. I'm not. I. Obviously, I'm not getting the lawsuit. I'm just messing around. That's all gone. But I think you just say, I think you knew that the wood was under there, which is why you didn't light a fire and you didn't tell me. And I get it. Trying to save a buck. But, man, how do you sleep at night knowing family could have burned down? Oh, I didn't. I didn't. Goodbye. Goodbye. That's it. Just get it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think. I think that's the approach. And I. I would. I would do this sooner and later just for the sake of our show, because I can't wait till Christmas for this guy to come clean.

[Pete]

Oh, bro, I had. I was telling my buddy about it, who was over right after Christmas. I go, remember when you were here for New Year's, bro. We let that fire going, and you and your family slept over. We could all burn to the ground. When you found yours, when you were looking at the. At the house, right. Did it make you not like the owner? Without even knowing them? Were you kind of like you slime ball, you weren't going to tell me about this way?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I didn't have that reaction because we were doing our due diligence. And to be honest with you, maybe the owner didn't even know because the fireplace didn't look like it was used at all. So. No, no. Yeah. I don't think that fireplace was used. So I don't know something about it.

[Pete]

Then he did know, bro, that then he did know. That's why he didn't use it. I'm telling you, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Could be. Could be that there's three other fireplaces in the house.

[Pete]

All right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This probably. It's not the main fire, all right. I would say this is like a. This is like an offshoot. This probably be your third choice, maybe your fourth choice if you're gonna start a fire. But there's nothing like a fire from real wood. There's nothing like Christmas.

[Pete]

Did you buy that house? Is this the house you have?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete]

You have four fireplaces.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Four fireplaces, yeah.

[Pete]

How did I not know that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't fucking brag about fireplaces here on the show, bro. Oh, God.

[Pete]

You're overthinking it. I mean, you must be rooting for snow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Holy shit.

[Pete]

How great would that be?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I am rooting for a. First of all, for Christmas, just for the fire, right?

[Pete]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

There is nothing like you in the kitchen making some dinner with a glass of wine. And in the background here, I got, like, one of those pops you get from the wood. I don't know exactly what's happening with the wood.

[Pete]

Don't tell me that. I don't want to hear that, bro. Cause that's the one thing I can't get with the gas. That'll never have to pop.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'll never have to pop in the bedroom. I got. Breaks my heart. I got a gas one in the bedroom, right? It's a totally different experience with the gas one. It's just like, it's on, but you could forget that it's on. You have to kind of look at it with the wood. You feel it. You feel the danger. You feel like this. Something could happen at any minute, right? An ember could fall out of this thing and light the rug on fire. You know, it just. You could just Have a sense of, Of, I don't know, something about a fire. I was like watching a fire and how it kind of like how the logs start to move, how it falls, the ash. Something relaxing about watching a fire. So you're not going to have that. And I would, you know, maybe I would spend the 25k and get a nice.

[Pete]

But, But, God, you're really selling me on the wood. I know, bro, but on the. Because I do like to watch that flame dance in different ways. But, you know, when you do watch that and you, like, see the log fall, then I go, I'm gonna have to get up and move that about two minutes. And then my hand smells like smoke. And then, I mean, I just, I can't keep up the pace, bro. I can't. It's like. It's like being with a really attractive woman that wants to do it all the time. I was having a ball, but I can't keep up. I can't keep up, you know? So maybe the gas is better for me.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, maybe, I don't know. Like, what's the amount of logs you put in that fire to get it going? Because when I do, I, I. It's like an inferno in there. When I started a fire, it's like I got about 17 logs burning in this thing. Just sort of. I don't have to keep feeding it, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, you started out hot and it will simmer over time.

[Pete]

Well, I mean, it's not as. It's not that giant. But then now you gotta wonder how. What if he never told me that, right? I would have kept having fires. Everything would have been fine. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of like how we wear helmets now to ride bikes. But do you really need them? It's like. But I can't sleep at night now. Cause I'll smell one bit of smoke and I'm. We're burning. We're burning down. I shouldn't have lit that fire tonight. So you know what I mean?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, do you completely get rid of the fire before you go to bed or do you let it just burn off?

[Pete]

I let it burn off. I gotta, I gotta. I mean, I got a gate there, so nothing can get out. I usually just let it burn off, but even if I don't let it burn off in the future, I can't cool the brick touching the wood underneath.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I know, I know.

[Pete]

I got took, bro. And now I got a guy coming to look at the freaking cesspool. Tomorrow he's probably gonna tell me, I need a new one of those. Whole place is 11.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, man, I tell you, the maintenance on a house, bro, it's amazing. Every day I wake up, there's something going on. There's something. The olive trees died in the back, right? So we had.

[Pete]

Oh, really?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, Six olive trees passed away, so we have to get new olive trees. No, the problem was they were planted at the wrong time of the year and they weren't set up to flourish. So we had guys out there yesterday, basically chopping all the branches down. They're going to take it out by the root, and then they're going to fly in the olive trees over the house again and drop them.

[Pete]

But we gotta take out four fireplaces. Yeah, like, we can't. No one can hear that. You got four or five places.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But we're flying olive trees over the backyard. We need content here.

[Pete]

Oh, man. Six olive trees, bro. That's devastating, man. Did you, like, was it a slow go? Like, you, like, was it. Were you like, is it all of them?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, like, yeah, it was pretty much all of them kind of going slowly over time. I'm like, what's going on? These. They'll go dormant and then they, you know. But no, they're supposed to, you know, live year round and look like hell. And here's something with the homeowners association. They're charging me $2,500 to bring in this olive tree truck that drops in the trees right now. Yeah, for what? Like, what are you charging me? 2,500. So a truck comes in and drops in some trees. And then the homeowners association was telling me that we're doing a little remodeling inside the house, that I didn't check with them about the remodel, you know, like, I guess with this homeowners association, you're supposed to check in if you're doing any type of construction. We found out later that it's not. It's not the type of construction that we needed checked. But I'm sitting here going, listen, I'm the only one in the neighborhood, not the only one, but out of probably 83 homes, I'm the only one really beautifying the home. Everybody there in the neighborhood got the house from the parents, and they're just sitting on it, you know, do you know, people like this, they get a house that's inherited and they just keep it the way it is because they have no idea, like, how to maintain a home. Right. So there's Nothing. The facade looks like shit. The gutters are falling off the grass. I'm sorry. People who don't take care of their lawn. It's a shame. It really is. I mean, it's just an eyesore in the neighborhood. I don't know if you got a guy in your neighborhood that just. Completely absent when it comes to landscaping, but every house looks beautiful. And there's a house that looks like it just. It's always one on the block that looks like, is someone dead inside? And should we do a welfare check because the grass is dirt? You know what I'm saying?

[Pete]

Right? Yeah. There's one. You want to know what's the story? What's going on with this home? Why is it like this? We got one down the block. You still got the. When the deflated Christmas thing, when you don't fill it up and it lays on the grass. Did somebody. Is somebody in hospice in there? Why is there a undeflated Santa Claus on the front lawn? You know? And when do you knock? That's. See, that's why I don't have a homeowners. But you don't like them when they're doing this to you, but, man, they must be nice when they're doing it to somebody else, right? Because they would knock and go, you got a Santa? An April?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, man. I don't know. It's. It's. It's. It's a headache. But it's been tough, man. I mean, not only maintaining the house, but since I've been home over the last four months, the amount of driving that I've been doing with my kids in Los Angeles particularly, I mean, there's nothing close to the house. I took Caruso to soccer practice the other day, and the coach wasn't going to be there. So what was going to happen is my son's soccer team was going to co. Mingle with the older team. So it was like my son's team. 6, 7 year olds with 8, 9 and 10 year olds. Right? And the 8, 9 and 10 year olds, their coach was going to simultaneously coach the younger. So he had two teams at once. Right.

[Pete]

Okay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now this is the difference between, like American coaches and foreign coaches. Right? This guy's name was like Romario or something. It was like a, you know, ethnic guy, Spanish guy, maybe Mexican, I don't know. But real deep voice comes to the. Comes to the, the. The practice as if he just played a game in the World cup, you know, like he looks like he's maybe in his mid-40s. But he still looks like he's in a men's league somewhere, right?

[Pete]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He's got cleats on. He's got the whole warm up. He's got a deep voice, accent, you know. Come on, Roddy. Very, you know, Sounds great.

[Pete]

Sounds great. Everything about this right now. I'm sorry. I love it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I love it. I love foreign coaches in soccer because it's a different mentality. I've seen the quote, unquote, kind like the coach, Steve, you know.

[Pete]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Gather around, catch. You know, like that. Kind of like meek, Gather round, kids. We're gonna do a drill called, you know, it just. It just. When you got a guy going, Kendall saga one day. It just sounds like shit's getting done on the field.

[Pete]

Right? Because it started somewhere else.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Bro.

[Pete]

I got to interrupt you and ask a question that people are probably wondering. Based on what I'm hearing, though, will you be rooting for the U.S. first and foremost in the World Cup? Are they who you would want to win it, or are they, like, Italy first?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, first of all, let's have a moment of silence for the Italians. Not qualifying for the World Cup. For the third World cup in a row. They're not even in it.

[Pete]

Get out of here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Which is a sin. I don't know what's going on in Italy, but they gotta get off their ass. I tell you this. I think it's a cultural thing with the Italians. Cause every time I go to Italy, nobody's working right. Everybody's like, taking a break, four hour lunches, whatever they're doing. And I think it's bleeding into the soccer team. I think they've adapted this kind of laissez faire. We'll get to it when we get to it. And now they're sitting on the sidelines and Ghana's in. I mean, these. These non traditional soccer countries are getting in. And a powerhouse like Italy, I think has four World Cups they're not in. So, yeah, I am America first here. I want the Americans to win. I just wanted the Italians to win, just to see the outfits. I mean, the warmups alone, I think are made by Armani. So, I mean, I was looking forward to.

[Pete]

Seriously, or are you just saying as a joke?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. I'm just saying it as a joke. But they look tremendous.

[Pete]

Yeah. How many teams get in?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

16 to the world cup, guys. Let's look this up. I think it's a 49 field team in the world. They added. They added, yeah, 49 teams, I think. Or 46.

[Pete]

Italy's not even the top 49 best teams in the world.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete]

So that's embarrassing, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So we'll find that out. But. But I'm sitting there watching the practice, and I like to go watch the practice. Cause it's not one of these things where I could go, what is it there, is it.

[Andrew]

They've expanded it to 48 teams for this year's World Cup.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

48 from what? 32. 32. So, I mean, bro, they even widened up the field. They still couldn't get in.

[Pete]

Jeez. So where's your coach from? Where's your coach from? For your son?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, he's either from Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, you know, one of these soccer heavy countries.

[Pete]

Nice, nice.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So he don't know my son's name. He don't know anybody on the young team's names. So my son has a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey. So for the practice, my son. Now, his name is Ronaldo, right? So. So the coach is Ronaldo. Get the ball. And. And at first, my son kind of, like, hesitated, but then kind of put two and two together like, oh, I got a Ronaldo shirt on. He don't know my name. Now, I respond to Ronaldo, right? And the coach don't tell you that. He just, you're Ronaldo now, right? He don't say, what's your name? Coach Steve would have got on a knee and said, come here, son. What's your name? My name is Caruso. Okay? Caruso. And he would have called. But. But these foreigners, it's like a get it done mentality. Ronaldo, get that thing. Now. I'm watching this, right? Every kid that he don't know the name becomes whatever they're wearing, right? Puma. He had a Puma shirt on.

[Pete]

Oh, I dig it. Yeah, Puma. Get Ronaldo. Ronaldo. Get Nike.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Everybody. Everybody had a nickname based on their clothing or their hair. One guy was Blondie. Blondie. You know, and we all just accepted that. You know, there was a. I'm sure in la, there's someone that's got a problem with this that's gonna go home and talk to the head. My son's name is Tyler, and he was calling him Blondie.

[Pete]

And.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, we're gonna get there.

[Pete]

Oh, my. Here we go. Here we go.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now back to the Sebastian Maniscalco show. I don't complain. You mentioned earlier in the thing about lawsuits, it's either you sue or you don't sue, right? There's two different categories of people I have never looked to go sue somebody for something. I just go, okay, that's it. That's the way it is. Well, let's move on. I ain't so suing the chimney guy or I ain't going. I ain't doing any of this. Cause you know what? You don't know who you're suing. Cause I come from a world where you just keep your mouth shut. I'm watching this thing on Netflix about the five families. The Mafia families, right?

[Pete]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

There's a thing in the Mafia called omerta, which means silence. You don't say nothing. Right? So there was a guy, the Chin Gigante, right? He went to go assassinate Costello, but he missed, right? He missed. The bullet went right through his hat, right? Didn't hit his head, it went through his hat. Right? And Costello knew who he was, knew who was the shooter and didn't say nothing. Right. He didn't rant on the shooter because he lived. Right?

[Pete]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think as a society, we should all take the vow of Omerta in the sense where you just don't say nothing. Because there used to be a time. Oh, you like here. I think John Gotti, right? His son got hit by accident from the neighbor's car, right? The.

[Pete]

Right, right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The guy hit him right? On accident on his bike, right? And then the guy went missing. They killed it. They killed the guy that killed the son, right?

[Pete]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

On an accident. So I've always looked at that as when you were to sue somebody. You don't know who you're suing, right? Just like that guy didn't know maybe that was Gotti's son, killed him. The next thing you know, he's gone. So my thing is, I ain't gonna sue a guy who is connected to some criminal organization. And next thing you know, I'm at Whole Foods and I get a tap on the shoulder and it's a guy going, drop the lawsuit.

[Pete]

Oh,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

don't you think we should bring those days back? I've often said this, man, no one's scared of anybody anymore.

[Pete]

I wouldn't even believe it was happening if you owned a deli, right? You said, I finally did open the deli back in Chicago. I always wanted to. And. And, you know, you're in there one day with your employees, all of a sudden the guy comes in, in a suit and goes, we're going to need a little money to make sure nobody breaks anything. I'd be like, are you the. Are you the Mafia? Like, what's going. Like, I wouldn't even believe it. Would you do it? Would you be like, oh, okay, I don't want anything to happen.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Listen, I don't know if that's still happening today. I know that was prevalent back in, you know, when the Italians first came to America in the early 1900s, there was a lot of this, hey, you know, give us 20% of your income or we won't light your place on fire again. That happens today. The owner's like, what, are you. Are you kidding me? Well, let me go. Let me to call the police here. And, you know, and I don't know if it's that prevalent that that deli owner, we don't see him again. I don't know. It just seems like things have calmed down a little bit with people gone missing.

[Pete]

Let me ask you a hypothetical, right? You take a meeting at the Ivy. Someone wants to pitch you to be in this new movie they wrote. You even read the script. You don't love it, but you don't want. You don't want to do it. This Italian guy or whatever, like, he thought you'd be great in the role and blah, blah, blah. And even the money's there. It's okay. It's not great, right? Then. Then next thing, you go home, maybe two days later, you're in a gym or somewhere, and there's a mob guy comes up to you. Well, you took a meeting. I think you should reconsider doing that movie. It was a fair offer, man. You want to make sure your family, everyone's okay, right? So you do a movie like this, everyone will be okay. You know what I'm saying? And then they walk away. What's your next move? Agent Cops? FBI? Lana do like. What's your very next move? I mean, you probably call your wife, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm on set,

[Pete]

Bro.

[Lana]

I love it.

[Andrew]

Holy.

[Pete]

I don't know, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know, man. It's just like, that's. I don't think that lifestyle is really there anymore. I mean, someone obviously argue that and say, yes, that it's. It's prevalent out there if you're running in those circles. But I don't know, based. Based on this documentary, man. It's. They. You'll like this because you like the character I played in the Irishman. They do a segment on Joey Gallo, how crazy this guy was, right? They take a good 30 minutes on gala, which even I didn't know some of this stuff. Even I researched the character. But let's be honest, I didn't go, like, I was actually looking at this going, was this information available when I was researching Joey Gallo? Because I didn't know half of this stuff, right? Like, I feel like a seasoned actor immerses himself in the role, gets what kind of cologne Gala wore, gets how he Wore his hair and this, that. The other thing, I'm going, I didn't know half of the shit about Galo. Did I even.

[Pete]

You gotta ask? Go ahead.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, did I even portray him right? You know what I'm saying?

[Pete]

I don't know. I don't. Listen, I never met the guy. I don't know if you portrayed him right. All I know is what you did was highly entertaining, so that's all that matters. But when you saw the stuff that you may not have known about Gallo, you gotta say to yourself, would it affected my performance? Would it have changed anything? And you're like, nah, you nailed it, guy. You nailed it. You knew enough. You knew enough. You weren't doing a fucking documentary biography, guy. You're making a movie. You need some entertainment.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I get it. But even, like, there was a mole on Gallo. Could Pete see the Gallo photo if we burn it into his video camera there. Is there any way we could. And I wish I would have caught this. I mean, it's very prevalent in the photo that I'm looking at. But I just said, I wish I would have caught. There's a lot of head whips going on in the producer booth right now. We're throwing stuff at them. They had. It's okay, guys. If you can't get it up, you can't get it up.

[Pete]

But so do you think, like, Scorsese. If he saw the photo, Michael. I'm surprised Sebastian didn't come in with the mole. Like, like, oh, bro, you didn't ask for the mole. I can see it now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying, bro.

[Pete]

That's like Cindy Crawford level.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I love what I'm saying. I didn't even. Like, I didn't even. I don't know. Like, I didn't.

[Pete]

I.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Listen, I gotta be honest. I did see the mole, but I was a little timid to ask where the mole is, because I would have thought Scorsese would have said, get the best mole we got and put it on this guy. I just. I thought it was just taken off because maybe for aesthetic purposes, but guys got a mole.

[Pete]

Yeah, but, like, I don't know if that. Your character was very cool, right? The way you said to De Niro, brothers. Was it brothers, Right? We're brothers. We're brothers, right? Like, if you had the mole, maybe it was a conscious choice by makeup and wardrobe. They're like, you know, they always make the actor better looking than the real person. Always. I mean, Julia Roberts. Did you ever see her in Aaron Brockovich? No, not God. I mean, the lady's okay, but Julia Roberts is Julia Roberts.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, no, I, I, you don't need the mole guy.

[Pete]

I can't even keep looking at the mole on the screen right now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Take it off.

[Pete]

That's what I'm saying. Interesting, though. But yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, well, then, you know this, this put up Brockovich. See what. See what? Julia. Give me Aaron Brockovich, Julia Roberts. And then let's see what the real one looks like. And. Oh, yeah, there's one. Fact, fiction. There was a photo. Fact, fiction. Yeah. So I know what you're saying, bro, that the movies are movies. Yeah, that's not. Do you see this, Pete?

[Pete]

Yeah, I see. I see, I see, I see. Okay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I see. I can't see that Pete's seeing this. So it's good to know that Pete's seeing this. Cause like, normally it would be on your screen. So anyway, we are working out the kinks here at the Sebastian Maniscalco show. It's a new. New producers and what have you. Now Patrick's getting, Patrick's getting behind Patrick, our, our producer for Pete. And Sebastian is also here kind of assisting on kind of our, our likes and dislikes. So, yeah, he was cool. He was cool. And I think I got the cool thing down because there's, there's moments in this trial where he's looking at the camera, just kind of smirking at the camera and, you know, chewing gum or whatever the hell he's doing. But you watch this. It's the Five Families on Netflix. It just came out.

[Pete]

Yeah. Love it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I want to also get into today. Often we do these etiquette questions and what your takes. And we did this in Naples, Florida when we went to go visit my in laws went to a restaurant and I don't know if you guys do this. Do you do birthdays at a restaurant when they're not a birthday? Like Lana has a habit with. A birthday cake will come out. And my birthday's in July, but it's like January and. Hey, Bieber. Yeah? Do you do this?

[Pete]

No, man. No.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Is Lana still here? She. Oh yeah. Lana's doing fake. Yeah, still still here.

[Lana]

Thought you might need me. I was waiting for the outfit change on Pete. I'm happy I stayed.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, well, no, Pete's got a. For those of you are listening. Pete is Pete move that microphone like or just. Yeah. Oh, no. It's not as deep as I thought. I thought it was a deep V. That's like a. It's a half V. I noticed lately it must. Must be getting warmer over there. You're sporting a lot of chest. Chest hair.

[Pete]

As I get older, too. As I get older, I'm going deeper and deeper.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It'd be a day you just walk around a grocery store with a shirt that's completely unbuttoned.

[Pete]

God, man. In retirement, I'd like to do that. I don't know what that means, even retirement. It's not like I'm gonna do one last show, but. Yeah, wouldn't that be fantastic? That used to be a look.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. I think a guy in his mid-60s, late-60s, skinny, with a kind of like a red. Like a red shirt, kind of unbuttoned with some. With some chains, could shop for bananas and cereal with his shirt open. I feel like that's appropriate. I feel like just two buttons is good, though.

[Pete]

Just keeping it a little. Just a little. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm even going with a one button. I do like a one button. 68 years old. Look at this guy. Lived a life. But getting back to the fake birthdays. Lana, what's up with. You did this with Caruso and you did this with Serafina, but you've done it other times when, you know, we weren't with family and whatnot. Is this something that you've done over a lifetime?

[Lana]

It is something I've done. Also, we're not going to be with the family, the extended family for their birthdays. So I thought we could just celebrate all together. Just called fun. Called fun. Spontaneity. Keeping it fresh.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. So you never know when you're out with Lana if you're gonna get a birthday cake at the table. That's kind of like what she normally does. That's kind of her thing, which I think is kind of cute. You know, that's funny. Kind of have a go to more of the Sebastian Maniscalco show. Next.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

now back to the Sebastian Maniscalco show. What do you think of the birthday song, bro? I don't know if we talked about this on the cast. I've been in a room where they say happy birthday and then at the end they say, hip hip hooray. Hip hip hooray. What should take us?

[Pete]

I've never been around a hip hip hooray.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. People are modifying the birthday song over time, and I don't know if I'm into the remix or the original. You know, people are trying to put their own spin on it.

[Pete]

Well, I don't. Like, I had a nephew for a period when you go, happy birthday to you, he'd go, racha cha cha cha. And, like, it would bother me. And I'd tell my wife and she'd be like, do you care? Do you care? I'm like, but I'm surprised. In all these years, there hasn't been a single song to come along. Like, everything that's good in this world, they still gotta come along and try and do something and change it. Like, I'm surprised no other songs come along to replace that. Is there anything you've ever heard sung instead of happy Birthday?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, there is a song, I think recently that came out. I'm gonna say 10, 15 years of happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Who sings that? Is there Kim? Do you know? No.

[Andrew]

Stevie Wonder.

[Commercial Voice]

I mean, it's Stevie Wonder.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, is that a Stevie Wonder song? Oh, okay. All right.

[Pete]

So, like, you're not gonna sing that at a cake with a lit cake. I'm saying, like, you know,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. Maybe people do. I don't. I don't know. I just. I. I haven't seen it. Could you burn into the song a little bit, like, in the middle? Oh, yeah. Oh, here we go. Happy birthday. Oh, okay. When was this song made? Is this 1983 by the way, Pete, now that we're here at SiriusXM on channel 99, Sebastian Manskalco's comedy Radio, do we have access to these songs?

[Andrew]

We will be able to play music.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, Pete, I mean, this is right up your alley. I mean, I know you love the music aspect of doing these shows, so, I mean, whatever you could dream up of in regards to music, we have a library of music here at that. Sirius.

[Pete]

Yeah, no, I'm excited for that. We didn't play any yet, so I wasn't quite sure if that was something that was available.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, speaking of music, guys, do we have the Sebastian Maniscalco Steve Aoki song, does your father know you dance like that? Now, this has recently come out and I've gotten a lot of questions on the song and how it came to be about.

[Pete]

Excuse me, when you. Okay. Because I still haven't heard anything play. I just want to let you know. But when you. I saw a clip recently where you were telling. You're hanging out with Justin Bieber and you're telling him. You're telling him that you got the song coming out. Did you hang out with him again? Or was it still from that one time with the big warehouse or whatever?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, that was only one time. And we did play the song for him while we were.

[Pete]

Oh, you already had it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You already had it was in the bag. And then we brought it back out on the release of the song. Steve Aoki, at that point was not involved with the song, but he recently had gotten involved and premiered his remix in Miami at the Ultra Comedy Festival, or Sorry Music Festival in Miami. And then it's on Spotify. Now it's on itunes. You can get it. It's called does yous Father Know you Dance like that? And, you know, we were scoofing around in the studio. This had to be about a year and a half ago, trying to come up with a song for the It Ain't Right tour. Kind of something that was a cool beat that I could come out to. And we came out with It Ain't Right. And then. And then we started screwing around with this dance single. And next thing you know, Aoki's on the song and, you know, hanging out with Aoki in Vegas, which I told you, I think I went to that, you know, nightclub with him. So we got a song out. Now it's available on, like I said, Apple and Spotify, and it's called does your Father Know youw Dance like that? Which is something that I used to say when I go out to the nightclub. This was back 15 years ago. And I know you're not familiar with nightclubs. You're not a nightclub guy. You're a beer and peanut guy.

[Pete]

Would you say that to the ladies? You'd say that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I'd say that in my head. You know, I'd walk in and, you know, like, I see a girl dancing up against a pole. I don't know you dancing in my head, you know.

[Pete]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just because it was a little. It was a little too, you know, much. And now that I got a daughter, my God, you know, I just like, see, my daughter sometimes goes on YouTube and looks at like she's doing this play called Bring it On. And there's a lot of kind of provocative dancing in this Bring It On. And she's mimicking the dances, which,

[Commercial Voice]

you

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

know, you was talking about, you know, Sadie doing the selfie and whatnot.

[Pete]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And my daughter come out, you know, and she kind of, you know, did it like an aggressive. What are we doing?

[Pete]

Just kidding.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know what I'm saying?

[Pete]

Yeah, I know what you're saying, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know if I'm gonna be able to take it. I'm. I hope this doesn't happen. I. I hope I don't have one of these daughters that are doing like these, these dance, you know, this like tic tac dances with like half, half an ass hanging out and like that. This is it. Used to be I hope my daughter's not a stripper. Now I, I hope my, my daughter's not doing tick tock dances with her cheeks hanging out.

[Pete]

The government, which is maybe going to make it illegal until you're 18 to be on there. We got to root hard for that, man. They're doing it in other countries. They're doing in other countries, man. We got. So that's the goal. Oh, just as I don't see as

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

a knowledge, there's enough, you know, like, even with bullying now, you know, it's like you used to get bullied. I used to get bullied. I told you, this girl Kim on the bus used to spitballs in the back of the head, right? And when I came home, the bullying stopped. There was no more Kim at home. But now the kids come home, they get on social media and they're still getting bullied, right? It's like a 24, 7 bullying, bro. You can't get away from it.

[Pete]

I know. Well, yeah, well, if you turn it off, you can. But that's the thing, they can't. It's always. And when she gets on the iPad to text a friend, I'll go, put it away. And she'll go. It's. She'll say the name of the person. Oh, it's just so and so, like, like, what do you. What do you think I'm saying? You can't talk depending on who it is. Shut the down completely. Now, as far as I have to say, though, as far as you. I. Does your dad know you dance like that? I want to get back to that for saying. I could also see that being more like. Like a hit. A hit on a chick, too. Like a. A hot chick's dancing. But did your daddy know you d. Wait, does your father know you dance like that? God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is this why you. What, bro?

[Pete]

That's how I thought it might have been.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, but I mean, just the way it was, like, uncomfortable. Like, if you went up to a girl, you, dad, you know, you dance like that. What the.

[Pete]

I. I used to do it like that. Guy I was. Trust me, guy, I did it smooth.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It could be two different things. It could be a disgust. It could be a disgust as you fat and know you dance like that. Or it could be. I'm going to give you my best, right? Tell me if this is creepy. Lana, are you in the room? Yeah, like, if I. If I can't.

[Pete]

But you got to pretend you're young and you're at the dance club.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're young, too. I'm young. And lan, I come up to. And I go, hey,

[Pete]

hey. Don't go with the hey.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just. Okay, I'm going. I'll go straight into it. She finally know you dance like that. See? Gotta laugh, bro.

[Pete]

I like that. I like that. Gotta laugh, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

She looked at me like, who's this guy? She giggled.

[Pete]

She giggled that she's the mother of your kids and you still gotta giggle out of her.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm telling you, bro, it's the way to a woman's heart. If you make them laugh, that's all you need. You can like. And Lana could speak to this because she knows she's seen me at my worst, right? It's not. I'm not. I'm very difficult to live with, all right? As. As. As she is, but she will never admit that, right? She, you know, she thinks she's a ball of joy, but believe me, this. You know, Lana, don't chime in on this. Just let me. Let me. Let me say what happened yesterday. So Lana has a. An espresso machine in her closet, right? And I've been using it lately because I'm not going to bore you with the details. I've been using her espresso machine. Now, Lana tends to sleep late for a parent, right. That has kids going to school, right? You would think, you would think. Like I never thought that our family, me and the kids, would have to wake up the mother to go to school. Right? That's where we're at. Like, like Lana's. Lana, listen, listen, I just, just go with this, Go with this. I feel like I'm like a married to a woman who goes out late at night and comes home and mommy won't wake up because she, she got a needle hanging out of her arm, you know, that's what I feel like I'm dealing with.

[Pete]

Right? Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like she's like in it, like sleeping, like, you know, like there's no one going to school, so. But I let her. She works hard, you know, she's breaking her ass during the day, so she's tired at night. So I tend to wake up early, get my morning going, do my meditation and what have you, and then I have my cup of coffee. So I'm making the coffee, she staggers in, right. Like she just got thrown out of a freight train, you know? And she's like, you making coffee, right? That's the first thing I hear, Right, Right, Right, right, right, right. No good morning, no love making coffee. And I'm making coffee. You know, I get like a. I go, what? And you know, I was gonna make Mike, you know, like it's like really, you know, like it's two minutes for the thing, you know, it's not like we're making a 12 cup pot for company, right? We're making a one cup of coffee. It comes out. It takes, I timed it. It takes a minute, 37 seconds to make one cup. And this one's huffing and puffing that I'm there making coffee in her closet.

[Pete]

Right, right. I, I get that though. I get. I, I've had that too, man. Where like in the morning I'm trying to do make a quick cup of something and Jackie's like, you're in my way. You're in my way right now. But like, if it was the other way around, would you feel comfortable saying that to Lana? If you just woke up and you just walked out and you're like saying, I. If they, they say things to us, we can't say to them. It's very.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't think I could have got. I've done that in other Ways. Like, I've gotten out of bed. Lana's, like, jumping around, smiling, like, you know, ready to start the day, and I take a shit all over that, right? Like, she's like, you know, I come in. The hell got into you? What'd you. You know, like, what happened? You just woke up and you're angry already. Like, it could be the littlest thing that could set me off. And I gotta, like, come out of that. You know, I gotta come out of that, like, fog that I'm.

[Pete]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But then to Lana's credit, and maybe I should just read it on air, because I think she knew. And this was. You don't see this from Lana a lot. An apology. She came back with a beautiful little text, and I had to give it up to her. Because when I've apologized to Lana, and I think I've maybe said this once to you on the.

[Pete]

Point.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

On the. On the show, when I apologize to Lana, it's a chance for her to double down on what I did wrong, right? So I go, hey, babe, sorry I was acting like an asshole in the morning. It's not in the right place. I own. I. I own that. I'm sorry. Yeah. You know, you were. You really were in it. Can we just accept the apology and say thanks for sharing.

[Pete]

Exactly.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right. So do you get that with Jackie at all? Who's apologizing more in your relationship?

[Pete]

Oh, God, me. What, are you kidding me, bro? It's not even close. I'm the only one. I'm the only one, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And when Jackie does say sorry, is it heartfelt or is it something that she's just gotta plow through? And then

[Pete]

when Jackie says sorry, almost like you'd say sorry if you lost a court case and that was part of the settlement. You have to tell them sorry. It's always like, sorry. Yeah. You know what I mean? And it's a big deal when I get it, because I don't ever get it, man. It's unbelievable. But, yeah, when I apologize, it doesn't mean let's revisit it, Right? Just take the apology and we move on. It's like, exactly. I'm gonna open up the window, take. Get a few more hits in, you know?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete]

But guy, anyone who knows you and knows the show knows that if Lana. It's. Anyone here. Anyone that knows our show, given a choice, would rather live with Lana than with you. That's way easier.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Probably. Probably.

[Commercial Voice]

Oh, probably?

[Pete]

Bro, I. I drove once with you sitting in the car, and I couldn't Even handle that was too intense once.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, you made it intense. You got in with like coffee.

[Pete]

No, no, When I was driving. Oh, you were crazy. Sitting shotgun. We were going someplace, you know, you were very uncomfortable. And then I got in your car. That's right. One time with a cup of coffee for the new listeners with a lid. And you looked at me like I got in with like a couple of frogs cupped in my hand, you know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Shit. I just thought it was aggressive to get in somebody's car with like liquids, you know, like get into somebody's car. You maybe have like a water bottle tight. You don't have like a thing. You know, the coffee, quick break, the coffee's all over the. You know, I don't think that's a

[Pete]

good question to ask someone around there where you are right now. If you're picking somebody up and they climb in with a cup of coffee, like from a Starbucks or something with a lid on into your car, is that, Is that aggressive?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, Andrew, is it coffee in the car? Is that acceptable in your car?

[Andrew]

As long as there's a lid, I don't see the issue.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I see an issue with especially paper cup with a lid from Starbucks. I think it fly off at any minute, right. You got to have something like a thermos with a. With a twist top on it. It's kind of like a construction thermos, silver, with a thing that you could use the cup for soup. You know, one of those things. That's what you have.

[Pete]

Well, what people should know. The few times I've been in your cars, they always look like you just pulled off the lot.

[Commercial Voice]

Always.

[Pete]

Like it was just detailed. So you keep a car clean on the inside?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I, you know, it's just a sense of pride, you know, getting into somebody's car and having. I, I don't like when people have like, like, like whatever they have in the passenger seat, they go, hold on. And then I gotta see everything they did this week. You know, they're pulling the Pepto Bismol's on the floor. Okay. They had stomach issues. They were farting in here earlier in the week. You know, like, I don't wanna see the problems you've had during the week. When I get into your car, just look, oh, there's a Burger King wrapper on the floor. There's a doctor's note or whatever. I don't wanna see your personal life. Just get in and make it look clean. Here is the text message from Lana. Didn't mean to come at you. You caught me before I had my coffee. I love you.

[Pete]

Oh, wow. That's fantastic.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm sorry, people, but I did what Lana did to me on the text back. Listen to this. Thanks. I said, thanks for apologizing. I should have just left it at that. But I had to come in with a second one. It really caught me off guard.

[Pete]

Oh, man. Thank you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Just take my nuts away. Gay. That is a pussy.

[Pete]

If I just took that exchange and didn't know who said what, I would think that was the wife's response. And that the first part was, you caught me off guard.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Kind of is my way of saying, yeah. You know, it just wasn't like you, you know, to do that. But she came back. She came back with another one. I just. I'm just reading this, Lana. Do you mind if I read this?

[Lana]

Go ahead.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I really. I literally walk in like a dead woman to my coffee every morning, even if. Oh, I can't. Even. I can't.

[Lana]

It's okay.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, okay. She goes. I literally walk in like a dead woman to my coffee every morning, even if I have diarrhea. Well, I hold it. Listen, listen. I hold it so I can get it started. So when there's something in the way, it gets eaten alive. I hold it so I can get it started. What do you mean?

[Lana]

Lana, you're reading. Okay. It says, I literally walk like a dead man to my coffee every morning, even if I have diarrhea. I hold it so I. So I can get the coffee started. So when there's something in the way of me getting my coffee, it gets eaten alive. And then there's a gif of a shark eating a whale. We watched a documentary on killer sharks the night before. So, you know, just bringing it full circle.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's phenomenal. That's a double apology.

[Pete]

You made it to a double apology.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, and then she gave me a whole thing with how it. How she has a routine. I think everybody has a routine in the morning. They get up, they either get a glass of water, they go to the bathroom right away. They make their coffee right away. Whatever Lana's routine is. And we just heard it. I interrupted her routine, which meant that, you know, I. I got in the way of.

[Pete]

But, bro. And you're in her. It's not the kitchen. You're literally in her closet.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I got no kitchen.

[Pete]

We're back on track with that, though.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, saying, like, some Friday, I'm moving into the kitchen.

[Pete]

It'll be. Are you kidding me? How long has it been since you had your kitchen. 8 months, 10 months.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow.

[Pete]

By the way, Lana, I am the same way. I totally respect that. Need your coffee. Are you even a coffee guy, bro? And every time we do the show, I don't think you ever have coffee. Is it something you need to have when you first wake up? Do you care that much?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I have two cups of coffee in the morning and then I'm done for. I'm done for the rest of the day.

[Pete]

I sip it all day. I'm doing espressos all day.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I can't do that. You have no problem sleeping with that amount of caffeine running through your body?

[Pete]

No, I. Usually, I just. No, I don't really smoke pot too, so.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Listen, I know you're a pot guy, but this is the problem I had. Well, come on, guy, you smoked pot.

[Pete]

All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know why I was skating around this, man.

[Lana]

I don't want.

[Pete]

Because I'm not like I make a big deal out of it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know, but I feel like you're not proud of it. And I feel like you should own it and be proud of it. The fact that, you know, you like to toke up every once in a while. But this is what I have a problem with. And I don't know if this is going on in Rochester.

[Pete]

What's up?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I feel like all these parents are eating gummies to get through the day, right? You got like a. Yeah. You got a mother, like. Yeah, I gotta have my gummy. I gotta have my gummy at 10 o'.

[Pete]

Clock.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

10 o' clock in the morning. I gotta hit my gummy.

[Pete]

The new glass of wine, man. It's the new white wine, baby.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How about we just be a mother and father? Why do we gotta be fuckin half blitz out of our mind to get through soccer practice? Like, is it that bad that you gotta be numbed out with these gummy bears, Huh?

[Pete]

I don't know. Have you ever. Yeah, yeah. Life is like, what? I guess you're trying to add a little something to it. What do you mean?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Ad like, is life that, like, bad with the family and the kids? That at 10 o' clock in the morning you gotta eat a full gummy bear to go pick up your kid at school?

[Pete]

I go running for the shelter of my mother's litter. It's a stone's tune. There used to be a pill that way.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Guys, do we have that? Never heard that song.

[Pete]

Oh my God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What song is that? What's the title of that song?

[Pete]

I think it's called Mother's Little helper, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Mother's little Helper. This is. This is the beauty of having, I believe. Is it a catalog?

[Pete]

Oh, paint it black, right? Is that the same song? Getting up. This is about moms and they were all taking a pill.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, I've heard this song.

[Pete]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay.

[Pete]

Gummy bear.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah.

[Pete]

She goes reaching for the gummy pill. Yeah, man, I'm telling. Mother's little help. A little gummy action, bro. I got a question. Let me ask you, because you're not really a big pot smoker where I live now. Loving my new setup. Weather's warming up. Doing a couple of I got a bowl one hits in the garage, right, with the garage door open. And I noticed the other day that the smoke was kind of blowing, billowing a little bit to my neighbor's driveway right next to me. He's got a couple kids. One's my daughter's best friend. The other one is like a little younger. And I'm wondering, even though it's illegal, do you think, like, another child shouldn't be smelling that? Right? It's like. Yeah, it's not a cigar. It's not a cigar or a cigarette even, you know?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I've had a problem with this where pot is kind of around my kids, right? And then they smell it and they kind of don't know what it is. And I might have to open up a conversation like, what is that, daddy? It must be a skunk or whatever. I gotta, like, kind of skirt around what it is because I don't really want to get it out. There's some people that are so miserable they got to have this to hang out with you.

[Pete]

If they were miserable, they would just have wine instead. That's okay. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I'm just saying. I'm not pointing you out. I know you're not doing marijuana for to get through the day with your family. What I'm saying is a lot of these people are doing it to numb their mind out because they don't want to deal with the, you know, the ups and downs of just being a parent. That's all I'm saying. Right now I have that little can that you sent me, right? And the last time I did it, I told you I did it without nobody knowing. And I was baked out of my mind laughing. And I don't even know how the hell I would get through a day like that. But I got it in this drawer, and I opened up the drawer today and I looked at it and I said, maybe after the show I'll Pop in a gummy and get me through tonight just to see what that looks like. Right. But I'm a little nervous to do it. Lana has said we should maybe start doing pot at night. Is that even right? Doing pot? Do you do pot?

[Pete]

You smoke it, dude. Come on, man. We should smoke a little pot at night.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, okay, but, like, if you. If you eat it, you're doing it, right? You're doing pot.

[Pete]

I guess. Edibles. Yeah. I don't. Yeah, but. Yeah. Isn't that called. Is that like a ver. Course of microdosing? I think it's called microdosing when you like popping stuff.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, but, like, if somebody said, what are you doing tonight? I said, I'm gonna do some pot.

[Pete]

What are you gonna do, smoke it or eat it? What are you doing? What are you doing?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm in pot today.

[Pete]

Yeah, but, like, what

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm doing. Okay. I'm doing another drug. I'm doing cocaine tonight. You coming by?

[Pete]

Okay. No, I'm not coming by, but I know what cocaine is. You sniff it. We all know that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But you're doing it.

[Pete]

But you don't do pot. You either smoke pot or I'm gonna pop an edible. I'm gonna pop an edible.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How would you say. If you were gonna do cocaine? How would you say that to somebody? Why don't you come over tonight? We're gonna.

[Pete]

I don't do it, but I guess I'd say, guy, I wanna do some blow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do some.

[Pete]

I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do some. You're doing it. I'm doing fentanyl tonight. You coming by?

[Pete]

It's almost like we're doing a Seinfeld bit with drugs. You do cocaine, but you smoke by.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

How come you don't do pop

[Pete]

mushrooms? What?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm sorry. There's a lot going on in the hallway. There's like. I gotta get used to this. There's, like. There's, like, a conversation going on in the hallway with three people, Right?

[Pete]

Can they. Can you hear the show?

[Andrew]

You just missed Green Day walking down the hallway.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Green Day's here, bro.

[Pete]

You're already not doing what you said you were gonna do.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, what the do I know? Andrew just told me. He just missed him.

[Pete]

That's Billy Joe. Is that correct? Was Billy Joe in the. In the.

[Andrew]

That is correct. All three members.

[Pete]

That's it. Well, okay. You know. All right, Billy Joe. That's. It's like saying Pearl Jam was in the hallway. Was Eddie Vetted? Stay focused, Andrew. You know, I don't need to know the Days I'm just focusing on the green, so. But I always know his name because he's one letter away from. Can you believe that? Billy Joe is a Billy Joe. The Green Day guy is a rock legend. And he's one letter away from an even bigger rock legend. Like, could you imagine if there was a bigger comic than you named Sebastian Maniscalco? That's the difference between Billy Joe and Billy Joel.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is Green Day from Chicago or is that Smashing Pumpkins?

[Andrew]

Definitely Smashing Pumpkins.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. Okay. Is Green Day. Do you have a time to live?

[Pete]

Listen to me. Why, yes. Yes, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pull that out.

[Andrew]

They are from California.

[Pete]

From California. I think the lead singer, I think Billy Joe's like, what, about 4ft, 2 inches? I think Natalie Portman would have to get something off the shelf for him.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, there he goes. Having him on the show.

[Pete]

Oh, God. You didn't even recognize him in the hallway. It wasn't like he was about to come through the doorway.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know. Could be the management. I don't know.

[Pete]

That's why you got to wear more what you wear on stage. Cuz then they'll go, who's that in the leather? Oh, it's a bit, I mean, it's like, you know, they think you're a tech guy waiting for the talent to come in. It's too, it's too ordinary for you and for, for.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, next time I'm going to come in in a costume. I'll wear a cape next time to do the show.

[Pete]

Costume. Just. I like the background though. I like the setup you got going that you chose. It's, it's, it looks good, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Thank you. Thank you. There's.

[Pete]

I can't believe there was Green Day in the hallway. Unbelievable.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, Andrew, listen, I mean, listen, I, I, you know what? I gotta be prepared because again with these music guys, I don't really, I didn't know the guy's name. I just know Green Bay. Wow. I don't know. Hey, nice to see you guys. And then I gotta act like I, you know, I don't know the names and like then the song. If I would have said that you guys sing the. Dude, you had a time. You know, like then if it wasn't, then they're gonna. No, we don't say that. What the you talking about? Like, you know, I'm so uneducated when it comes to this stuff.

[Pete]

Like, well, by those standards. Done, bro. The only two people that you would can come down that hallway are Michael Jackson and Prince. And that ain't happening. So, I mean, like, and Bieber. I guess maybe the weekend.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If the weekend was here, I could talk weekend. I could talk weekend.

[Pete]

You could talk weekend. Okay. All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I even know. Go ahead.

[Pete]

Let's just take one random one that, like, isn't something you normally go to, but, like, boom. Oh, my God. Blake Shelton's coming down the hallway, and he's waving on the other side of glass.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, Blake, come on in there, man. How's it going? You know, I sleep where you used to sleep.

[Pete]

For the new listener, Sebastian bought the house Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton lived in. All right, well, that one makes sense. But, like, you gotta be Kevin Bacon. Oh, my God. He's in the hallway and he's waving.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God. Oh, Kevin. What's going on, man? I

[Pete]

see, guys. Yeah, you got it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. No, you know what you gotta do, guys? We have to have something, like a little cheat sheet here. I don't know how you guys do this. I mean, you can't put it up on the screen because he's gonna see it. But is there something maybe in here, if we had a guest, where we could put in. Kevin Bacon's been in that. That. That. That.

[Andrew]

I think it's gonna be best if we face him facing you. So then you can use the screen behind you for all, like, the quick questions.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, okay. But, you know, has anybody ever gone, oh, oh, yeah, like, and seen that?

[Andrew]

We try to be quick about it. I'll be on the trigger.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, so he's gonna stay here, and then I'm gonna up. Up there. I'm gonna go. So you have been in the movie. Listen, give me a movie right off the top of your head. He's been in Go.

[Pete]

Stir of Echoes. Great movie. It's a great movie, man. Stir of Echoes in a basement where there was a dead girl killed in the house he lives in. Bacon.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's the first Kevin Bacon movie that you thought of?

[Pete]

I mean, I.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What's this guy been in?

[Pete]

A few Good Men Tremors.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's it.

[Pete]

I mean, bro. Okay, what's that one he did with Sean Pender? Guys, he's. He's really bordering on legendary status now. He's getting legendary.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know, I know.

[Pete]

Body of work is growing. I got him fantastic, too. He owns a farm with his wife Kira in, like, I don't know where, but they look, like, a little too happy. I can't even watch their Instagram. It makes me not, like my life as much. It's, like, perfect. Their life is perfect. So, bro, let's just do. Dave Matthews is in the hallway. So now Andrew's got to throw this up, and you got to be able to do a quick read through.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. No, then. Okay, yeah, let's, let's. Let's. Let's do one just like Pete, give us another name, and we're going to see how quick this is going to. This is going to go. And, and, and soon as Pete says the name, let's say he's kind of like, walk. Give it three seconds, and he's walking through the door.

[Pete]

All right, I'll give a very big famous one. That also might be a little tricky for you. Oh, my God. Rob Thomas is in the hallway.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God, Rob Thomas. Get Rob in here. Hey, Rob. What's going on, man? So believable, man.

[Pete]

Sebastian, do you believe we have the lead singer matchbox20 in here? This is insane.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, wow. You guys still together?

[Pete]

I don't know what the.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This is, bro. They're. They're scrambling back there. They're on. They're on Outlook. I. I don't know what they're doing. The whole, the whole thing. There's. There's no way this is going to work if, if this is how. Like, I can't even see what you put up there. We need.

[Pete]

But it's all right, because then I'll go to you, bro. You know why you like him? He sings well. It's a hot one. Like Seven Inches From a Midday Sun. Right? You know that one?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Nope.

[Pete]

And then you tell.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah. Okay. That song. I. The way you were singing it, bro, it didn't.

[Pete]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Click at all.

[Pete]

I'm just trying to help, that's all. But, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I don't think. Guys, we'll work on this. They're on Spotify now. And look it up songs. Forget it. See, I need. I'm talking about, like, Yeah, I would need, like, three things. Matchbox 20 on tour and new songs called I'm Living now or whatever.

[Pete]

Right. Gotcha, Gotcha. Yeah, that's, I think, the protocol.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But. Yeah,

[Pete]

but.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right. You have something else to add to that?

[Pete]

Well, I know. It's just like, there's a movie where Meryl Streep plays Anna Wintour. I forget what you call that movie. They just got the new one coming out, too. But anyway, she'd be at a party, and she has an assistant, and as a guy's coming towards her waving, hello, Miranda. You know, she'll turn to assistant. Who is he? And the lady goes, da, da, da, da, da, Da, da, da, da. So by the time the guy reaches her, she's like, how's your husband? Or, you know, like. So Andrew's got to be that quick. Screens, nothing. Maybe. Maybe we. Yeah, you're in. Yeah. So the. Listen. The guests can hear, but they're hitting you with, like, information.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah. Or that too.

[Andrew]

We can do the talk back to you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, yeah. You could just like. Let's practice the talk back. Let's give me another one. And off the top, like, you don't have to even look it up. If you know something about them. You could just whisper into my ear and go, so let's try it again.

[Pete]

Okay. And we're sticking. We're gonna stick with music because, you know. Yeah, that seems to be.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Could be anything.

[Pete]

Oh, anything. All right, shoot. Let me think of somebody good here. Holy. Oh, my God. Zach Brian's in the hallway.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Zach, Brian. My God. Bring him in here.

[Andrew]

When's your next album coming out?

[Pete]

That's what Andrew, you know, he's a. Wouldn't you go? Very famous country singer. Everyone likes him now. He's got a big hit called Pink Skies, but he's like on top of the world musically right now, country wise. Wouldn't you say that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's fair.

[Andrew]

That's fair. That's on me.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. So let's go more with what Pete said. I mean, I could have said album coming out. I just. I need a little bit more, like, color on, like. Oh, he had a song with Cardi B, reached number five on the Billboard charts. And you know,

[Pete]

oh, my gosh, Jack Johnson is here. He's in the hallway.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm surprised he's there.

[Andrew]

Are you looking forward to your show in Santa Barbara in October, guy?

[Pete]

We just did this. We just had this conversation, Andrew. It's Jack Johnson. Singer, songwriter, plays guitar, used to be a big time surfer. Usually performs barefoot, like. You see what I'm doing, Andrew? I'm like a Wikipedia. I'm belting out the things that you're doing, dates and shit,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

bro. We had Jack Johnson on the show and I was like, is this the guy that worked with Tom Cruise?

[Pete]

No, not that guy. No, that's a different Jack Johnson. I didn't know that guy. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]
