[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And now, the Sebastian Maniscalco show. Still trying to figure out these headsets. Man, you don't even look like you have anything in. That's why I like you. Yours is, like, slick.

[Pete Corrielli]

You, you know, you look like a guest on. On your own show right now. Like, you haven't found your look yet, and it's cool that you like. What about, like, putting them behind you? Is that a look like, where they're

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

like, well, maybe we should.

[Pete Corrielli]

Or they don't.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Maybe they don't. Are we recording, guys? Oh, we are. Okay.

[Pete Corrielli]

I am.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Great. So if I went this way, what do you think of that?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, I mean, then eventually they got to be custom made to do that for you and all that. Like, you know. You know, someone's got to, like, trying to lean into that look. But that's a good look.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, you know what you like.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. Wait, do you like the Total Ear cover? Is that why you're going with the big. With the big mouth?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, right now I'm going with this due to the fact that I'm familiar with this and I'm not familiar with any of the other ones that they. They gave me today. So I want to try those out around the house and what have you. But you know what? Maybe it's like two cans just sucked onto the ears with. No, none of this, you know, because I'm saying, like, you looking through here, I don't like the space between this thing and my head. Anyway, we'll work it out. Welcome, everybody. Sebastian Maniscalco show. There's a lot going on here already.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, this is you. Oh, wow.

[Kim]

I want to reset.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

See, this is a whole new thing, bro. I was looking up here. We've moved the camera. So now I got you over here. Just so you know, and I mentioned this before we even got on. Kim came in today. Dare I say, camera ready. She looks tremendous today. Not that she didn't look good last week, but it's just like. It's a total different vibe in here. I mean, it's.

[Pete Corrielli]

You know, it's like. And you would know this when a show gets picked up for season two and all the actors get trainers and makeovers and all that because they know they're coming back. Kim sniffed after the first run of shows that we're gonna need her. She's a cast member now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Can we. Kim on camera. Can we get. Just so we. Oh, okay. So, people. Okay. Fantastic. Guys, you know what I gotta tell you, And I don't know who's in charge of this. It's the Sebastian Masconko show, and in front of me, I'm looking at shade 45. We got Eminem show in front and the mascot show in the back, bro. Not that I mind, it's not like I'm a prima. But if there's a camera angle that's getting shade 45, I don't want to confuse the viewers of what type of show this is.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right, right. Unless Eminem is on, then that's okay. If we do a double wide where you and Eminem doing shows at the same time. Holy shit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

If Eminem comes in, we should we switch this to shade 45. The whole room. Shade 45.

[Pete Corrielli]

By the way, he is. He. He is a bucket list, isn't he?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, he's like.

[Pete Corrielli]

He's like rarefied air. Like, he's like, I would love to chat with that guy in my lifetime, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I feel like you don't do a lot of interviews or maybe interviews that I've really never seen him in. So, like, people that don'. Interviews are interesting. Gets, you know, like, give me another guy who you'd ever see getting interviewed a lot. I mean, obviously Tom Cruise, you know, he only comes out of his house when there's a movie and then he goes away and we don't see him. But, like, to get Cruise in here would definitely be a. A special moment. Anybody else? I mean, we know. We know the everyday, the pit, the pits, the cruises, people we've talked about on the show for years. But, like, who. Who else

[Pete Corrielli]

that you just never see given interview. That's really interesting, man. I'm trying to think.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's hard to even think about it because everybody has got to be out and about now. You got to be on every podcast, every show. If you don't, you know, if you're not on a podcast once a month, people think you died. So it's like, you know, people are always in the.

[Pete Corrielli]

It's true.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I was gonna say zeitgeist. What, you take on that word? I hear that a lot.

[Pete Corrielli]

What? Zeitgeist? I don't even know what that means, bro. What's going on my screen again now, Brendan?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now we're looking at Spotify.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. Does it just pop to that? What? What is that word? I've heard. I've heard it maybe twice. But like.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Like, zeitgeist is the. I guess, like the orbit or the culture. You're in the zeitgeist. Guys, I'm looking at you. I can't. Can we get, like, the research? Could we get it done, like, off camera? And then Pete fully on the camera, because I'm looking at your guy, like, Google Zeitgeist. And then Pete goes up in the right hand corner, and he's kind of minimized.

[Pete Corrielli]

This is. Yeah, I gotta. I have trouble seeing you up close now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, I know, I know. We're gonna fix that again, second show here. Just working out some kinks. There we go. Pete's back up. So the definition of zeitgeist, and this is another thing, bro, I'm going blind. Could you maximize the definition of zeitgeist, or could somebody read it to me in there just so we have the right definition?

[Ad Announcer]

It is the.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Am I on. What's. What's the go ahead?

[Ad Announcer]

It is the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, that was pretty good. What are you rubbing your head for?

[Pete Corrielli]

The answer was confusing.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It was.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm trying to wrap my head around that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I like my definition better, to be honest with you. Just in the zeitgeist, what was yours? It's in the air. What was yours in the air?

[Pete Corrielli]

I don't know what that means either, but I like it. It's easier to not understand than the other one. Oh, oh, oh. It's just like it's out there. It's like, this is what everybody's talking about.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Good.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right, all right, all right, all right. Yeah, I like yours better. Woody Harrelson. I know he's got his sometime podcast with Sam Malone there, Ted Danson, but I don't see him on my. Dustin Hoffman. I know, I know. You cross paths with him at a show or something, bro. That'd be a huge get.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Dustin Hoffman. Is he doing movies anymore or did this guy, like silently retire?

[Pete Corrielli]

Is he doing breathing?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Is he what? Is he breathing?

[Pete Corrielli]

Is he doing breathing? Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, he's gotta be 80 something, 83 years old around there.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, he's gotta be, right? I mean, the last thing I can recall, and I'm probably way wrong seeing him in, was when he played Barbra Streisand's husband in them Ben Stiller movies.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Meet the Flock, by the way. Another. Another Meet the Fockers is coming out. Just saw the trailer. It's called. I forget. It's like the third installation of. It's called Focern Falkern Law now, I guess still, there's kids getting married in this thing and it's played by out Ariana Grande, so.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

By the way, De Niro, I saw De Niro and he comes out with a sleeveless shirt. This guy is, dare I say, shredded. I don't know what he's doing, but he's in his early 80s and he's got better biceps than I do. So hats off to Dinero for keeping the workout regiment. I gotta tell you, Pete, first of all, happy birthday. I know your birthday was yesterday. Those of you who do not know, Pete Corrielli's birthday is April 20th, which for all the people that smoke pot is 4:20, which I still don't know what that means. Can you tell me what 4:20 means? Is that everybody's supposed to smoke at 4:20 in the afternoon, or does it have anything to do with the actual date or is it a time thing?

[Pete Corrielli]

The best knowledge I know of it, and I'm not like a pot guy in that way, but apparently from the lore I've heard, some kids would get together every day somewhere, like out west or something at 4:20 to smoke pot, and it became like a thing. What it means on 420, I have no idea. Other than that weed's on sale at the dispensaries. But other than that, I mean, I don't do anything different. And then.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, and I don't. I know you don't like to talk about this. I know it's a sensitive topic for you, that every once in a while you like to hit the. The ganj. Right? Right.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Are you getting. Are you getting the pot from a brick and mortar place in town or is this something that you acquire Through Amazon or online work. Where do you get this stuff?

[Pete Corrielli]

Dispensaries, brick and mortar places. And like, what I really started to do is actually when I was on tour with you, is when it really first started becoming cool. I get to the hotel and hit dispensary nearby and you know, and these places, you don't go in them, but you've seen them, they're like, they're nice, a lot of them. So it's like. I mean, I don't go in there and sit there and smoke, but like, I like to try weed wherever I am. Like maybe like Seattle had great stuff, particularly so, you know, you kind of do that. But yeah, I got a place in town. And then other than that, if I'm ever driving past the Indian reservations in New York City, it's like the wild west. They sell weed for like dirt cheap hokuley, Keep the governor out of it. They go high on the THC with the gummies, man. They don't. They break all sorts of laws out there on the rez. So if you ever pass in a res and you want to get some weed, that's the place to get it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, is that where you got me? Because you sent me a little tin in the mail. Is that where you got. Did you get my pot from the. From the.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, no, I got yours at my local dispensary here in town. Because the doses that you can get legally in New York state are like way more than enough for a guy like you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, I don't know what it was, that, dare I say, I think the one that you gave me was laced.

[Pete Corrielli]

Laced, guys, you had that. You had a tiny mint. I could, I could. I'm gonna. I'm literally about to brag about my drug intake. That's fucking ridiculous. I sound like Charlie Sheen in 1995. I could snort a whole eight ball with one nostril.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No. Yeah, it was powerful. Whatever the hell you sent me, it's like. And I have it, like I said, I have it in my bedside table drawer. Every time I open that drawer, it's just like staring at me. And it's a little like I feel like I gotta put it away where I don't really see it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Either that or do it, bro. While we're on the subject, and I'm only saying this because we're on the subject, otherwise I wasn't gonna bring it up. I pulled a P today, but like a low key one. But basically there's a guy, his name, I usually don't follow. His last name, Bob Lonsberry is this guy's name. Now. He's a local morning DJ here in Rochester on this morning News Radio. I love the guy's vibe. I love what he's talking about. We got the same views. Me and Jackie love listening to this guy. Keep him on all the way. He's on till noon. Every time I walk in the room, whatever he's saying, I agree, Bob. I agree, Bob. Right? So I come upstairs earlier today, and he's going off about some article about marijuana and how bad it is for you, and study has shown this or something. And he goes, and I know it's not, but anyway, he's, like, really, like, saying it's garbage. It's junk. And the guy gets on, and the guy's like, hey, man, I'm retired. I smoked for years. I had a great career. I mean, you know, you're saying all this stuff, Bob, and I don't know. And Bob goes, well. Well, I gotta say, you don't sound like a smart one there yourself. Maybe you smoke. And I'm sitting there going, oh, my God, Bob. This is where you're going. You're saying he sounds dumb because he smoked pot. He's. The guy was way out of line. I'm. Bro, I get my phone, I Google. I Google the radio station. I get Bob's personal email, and I email Bob, and I go, bob, I'm listening to you this morning. Talk about weed. You sound like a buffoon. Okay, Stick to facts. Don't. Don't tell us what you believe. All right, Bob? I mean, I'm really embarrassed for you. This is major damage control. I usually love everything you're saying, but to say the guy sounds dumb, I go, wtf? Which I usually don't do that, but I'm like, what the fuck? I mean, that's hack. That's. What is that? Bob, the guy sounded fine. So. Come on, man. You can do better than that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Bob.

[Pete Corrielli]

Pete Coryelli, send.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I cannot believe what I'm hearing right now, bro. I don't even think you realize it. You. You've turned into the listener.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, no, no, guy. Not even close.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The listener that wrote you on your newsletter that you were pissed off that he wrote you. You just did it. Did it. Oh, my God.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's different. This is different. I'm coming to Bob as a colleague, and I'm telling, like, you know, all right, it's not that different. It's not that different.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's not that different.

[Pete Corrielli]

I guess I did. I did.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Wow. You Just told you. Just we had this. If you guys don't know what we're talking about.

[Pete Corrielli]

There is a slight difference.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, well, what it is, what is it?

[Pete Corrielli]

I was telling an entertaining story about life, and this guy wrote in to tell me that it was terrible and boring and it wasted everybody's time. Bob is on the air saying, anybody who smokes pot is a dummy and sounds dumb and, and it's crap.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Change the channel.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm. Change the channel. No, but Bob's not telling a boring story. I'm not gonna call Bob and go, hey, that story about you and your family or your. That sucked. Bob is, he's insulting me. He's insulting anyone who smokes pot. So I was calling Bob up to be like, God, get it together, Bob. Get it together.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This is the difference with pot people and people who drink alcohol, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, now we're cattle?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm sorry, you gotta bring it up. I gotta bring it up, but because now these pot people have to, like, protect or, like, champion pot, right? If I heard a guy talking about, oh, people that drink wine are dumb. This, that, and the other thing. I'm not, like, sticking up for wine. I'm not calling the guy going, no, what are you talking about? Wine's really good with steak. What is this? Like, this? Cause these pot people are on that. They gotta stick up for the drug.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm not sticking up for the drug. I'm sticking up for the drug consumer. I mean, if somebody said, everybody who drinks wine is dope and sounds like I drink wine, you'd go, guy. I don't sound like that. I don't even know what you're saying. You're not defending wine. That's what I'm defending.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm just saying I wouldn't search online for the guy's number and email him or call him and say, hey, I'm not a dummy. I just like a cabernet every once in a while, bro. I, I, I, I don't think you have a defense here. I, I think, I think you're right.

[Pete Corrielli]

I think you're right. I think you're right. I'm being, I'm definitely being a hypocrite, and I'm accepting that. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, okay? If I could take it all back, I wouldn't have told you the story.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, it's great.

[Pete Corrielli]

Imagine the emails I'm gonna get. Oh, my God. I owe Bob an apology. Ironically, too. It's another Bob. Holy. I'm telling one Bob off my guy. Said, now I'm throwing another butter. Yeah, so.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my God, bro.

[Pete Corrielli]

Buffoon, though, huh? That's a. That's a good way to start. You sound like a buffoon. That'll get you. That'll me.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Do you think Bob read the email?

[Pete Corrielli]

Ah, man. You know, I go back and forth on that, but it is local. Rochester. So I'm thinking Bob did read it. I'm. I wouldn't even put it by Bob calling or reaching back out.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You got to listen to the show this week and see if Bob brings you up, because this could be. This could be like a. Like a. Like a big beef. You know how rappers have beef like Drake and Kendrick Lamar?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

This could be a. This could be a coriali. Bot. What's his name?

[Pete Corrielli]

Bob.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What?

[Pete Corrielli]

Ah, man. Dare I say the last name again?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

[Pete Corrielli]

This is a whole freaking. Now we're on a whole. I don't know what's going on. They're like, brody.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right, the amount of texting going on right now behind the glass is unbelievable. It's just. I've never seen anything like it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Hey, guys, listen, can we keep the last name in? Holy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Right? Well, it's just. It's. Man. I mean, if I was. If I was looking, if this crowd was in the crowd when I was performing and I saw that, I would be like, wow, I'm boring. No one. No one wants to pay attention. It's okay, guys. It's fodder. We got an hour to fill. More of the Sebastian Maniscalco show. Next,

Now back to the Sebastian Maniscalco Show.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, I tell you one thing you said, I don't think you said it on the air, that I just want to tell the folks was fascinating. You were telling me you're playing a comedy club in LA where they take the phones away and you didn't know and you came off and you made a comment about wow, that crowd was really into the bits and everything. And someone said, yeah, cuz they don't have their phones. And you were like blown away. You really noticed the difference. You said you really.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Night and day.

[Pete Corrielli]

God, that's frightening, bro. That's frightening.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

They were all in unison, hanging on every word. There was, you know, the, the, the phones were in these bags on the desk and it was like, it was like, man, this is what the 80s feels like, right? Doing comedy during the heyday. And it was amazing. And I gotta, and I know you don't like when I do this. And for the new listeners here at SiriusXM on the Sebastian Maniscalco show. Pete and I had discussed this years ago, not years ago. What am I talking about? Last year? Still not on social media, bro. December 13, 2025 was my last day and it's April, bro. It's phenomenal. This, dare I say. And I don't know if anybody has done this in the room or in the building, but this could be a world record for. It's for an adult, bro.

[Pete Corrielli]

I've had Amish work on my house and even they sometimes borrow phones of people non Amish to look at shit. So like you're Beating Amish at this point. I have a question though. When you don't know the answer to something you would normally Google, what is going on? Do you have the discipline to Google but not slide into one of these social media platforms?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't even have it. It's not even on my phone. No problem, get rid of it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It would be the equivalent of you removing all marijuana out of your house and just not having it available. That's.

[Pete Corrielli]

Why do we keep going through that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I knew you were going to say that.

[Pete Corrielli]

What am I, Cheech and Shine over here? I don't even know. We go months and months without mentioning it now. I got a warehouser last week too. It came up, but I don't think it would be like that. But it would be like, I, I, I don't, I don't know. I try to carry around a book. It's a book I'm reading about the Indians. It's kind of lame, but it' just trying to do something when I'm like sitting to not look at my phone. But I don't know, there's too much, too much shit on.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a tool, bro. I know, I know. And listen, and those of you that are out there, I'm still on social media posting. I just not looking at apple pie recipes and fights in Puerto Rico. You know what I'm saying? It's just, I'm not looking at random stuff anymore. And you bring up the book, bro, and you said it's not that interesting of a book. My question to you is, when do you decide I ain't reading the rest of this book? Like, how many pages do you gotta go through of? Like, when is this gonna get better? When do you just kill a book and it's over?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, man, I try not to, man. This is a really old. It's a true book too. I don't know. This is what happened. I was about to kill it. This is when you know it's going on death's door. When you. I start like the whole chapter. I'm like, yeah, I don't care about that guy. And I'm just flying. I'm like paging through, trying to find the next because it's little individual stories about. So I'm like already skipping 10, 15 pages at a pop. But then I came across a couple stories right when I was getting ready to leave this thing on a plane, leave it behind. I read like three stories in a row where I'm like, oh man, I'm back in. I'm back in. Jesus. Freaking Indians.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So you would have left a book on an airplane if you didn't like it? You just leave it there for the next person to grab. Have you done?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah. I can't throw out a book, man. I can't throw. Yeah, yeah. I always leave them behind like a. Leaving. Like a woman who gives birth a teenager.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Leave the baby math class.

[Pete Corrielli]

Leaving the baby in the bathroom. Yeah, yeah. You can't throw a book out, man. You just leave it behind, man. God.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm into this, bro. I say we take it a step further. If I walked, let's say I got on an airplane, right? And in the. In the pocket in front of me, there was a book, and I'm like, what's this? And I opened it up and there was a note in the book going, I didn't really like this book, but I hope you do, or something to the next reader or someone who finds it. A message from you. Yeah, I think that would be like a.

[Pete Corrielli]

The fact that the book's in the back of the seat, that is the letter. If the book didn't suck, it'd still be in my bag.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I know, but just to open it up and just to have a personalized message in there. Yeah. Maybe even post it mode. I think that's a nice touch, especially

[Pete Corrielli]

if you love the book and you leave it behind. Congratulations. You're about to read the best book

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

you ever read, April. That's even better. Speaking of books.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

And I got to get your take on this. I recently got sent a book from someone I know that's. I don't even know how to put this, so I don't sound like. It's like a. Kind of like a motivational book, but the person that sent it to me is not. It's just not doing well. Not health wise, but just in life. You know what I'm saying?

[Pete Corrielli]

Right. Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So my question to you is, if somebody says, I want you to read this book, it really inspired me, really helped me out. Right. And the person ain't like. I mean, dare I say there, he says, loser. Can you take a recommendation for. For a guy who's not doing well, a motivational book? I'm like, it just. It doesn't work, bro. It's like, it's not helping.

[Pete Corrielli]

Hey, it's. It's like a fat doctor, right? I don't know. But, like, it depends how it's handed to you. Is it handed to you with. Listen, man, I zigged when I should have zagged and I know, I know it now, having read this, it's too late for me, but it's not too late for you. Or does he just say, hey, I'm on top of the world, and it's all.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Cause it is.

[Pete Corrielli]

And you're like, on top of the world guy. You're fucking renting a studio.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, like, if somebody like an ex president gave me a book or somebody like, and they're like, oh, wow, it's really kind of like you could see the results of the book, but when you're not seeing the results from, you know, it's like, it's like somebody giving you a cookbook, Right? But then when you go over to their house, the food tastes like shit. It's like, you know, it ain't working. You know what I'm saying?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, but I mean, who knows? Maybe if the guy didn't read the book, he's like, before I read this book, I was homeless, living under a park bench. And then you go, oh, wow, you got shelter. Now this book, maybe it does help.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's what I'm saying.

[Pete Corrielli]

It just helps. Maybe it can only help people so much, you know? So like, for like, maybe he's saying it helped me to get a job and a semi life, but a guy like you, man, it'll help you. Like, just. By the way, why would anyone give you a book like that? I'd be like, you just did a arena toy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no.

[Pete Corrielli]

I mean, you're fine. Yeah. Read this, your career will take off. Wait, you'll play the moon? Where else is there to play? Just got back from Dubai. There's nowhere else to play. Until Putin lets everybody come play after they give up the war and have a big party. Then you go play for Putin. There's nowhere else to play. So I don't see what the book is going to do for you. Well, I mean, I've done quite a bit.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I love, I love, I love. I love listening to books. I do. I've carved out some time now where I actually listen to a book during. When I get a massage, I listen to an audiobook for an hour and a half. So that's my. That's my book time.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's great.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm knocking out a massage and I'm. And I'm very. I'm getting educated. Hated with. I'm reading the reading again, listening to the book about the history of HBO and how HBO became a premium station and all these shows and what have you. Interesting stories. Really interesting. Again, don't know the Name of the book. It's the HBO Story. That's my recommendation for the week. We'll get that. Guys, could you. No, it's not the inside. It's not that one. It's another one. It's got a bunch of people like Chris Rock on it. It's got a bunch famous people on it. Yeah, that one. Tinderbox. Tinderbox. Highly recommend. The. Listen, if you want to know about HBO that goes through the Sex and the City, the Sopranos, there's a show on there I used to watch called Deadwood, which never really got the last seasons that it deserved. So anyway, it's a fun read. I want to ask you a question and I also want to get Kim's point of view on this. I want to talk about funerals. And this is not so much for men than it is for women, because I think men could get away with what I'm going to talk about. Do you have a funeral outfit, like, God forbid, if somebody passes away next week and you got to go to the funeral. Do you have a black suit or something that would be appropriate to go to the funeral?

[Pete Corrielli]

I do. Is this Kim? But yes, I do.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's always the same one second. Kim, Can you wear that black suit next week after the funeral to a party? Could you wear a funeral suit to another event?

[Pete Corrielli]

Absolutely, bro. The only difference between wearing your suit at a funeral and wearing it at a party. Watch my face. Funeral party.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Just a smile. This is what you gotta do. The smile. Same suit. Now I'm smiling. Mark the name.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. I think a guy could get away with it. Not Kim. Do you have something in your closet currently that would be a nice funeral dress or what would you wear to a funeral?

[Kim]

Yeah, I have two formal black dresses that I could definitely wear if someone died tomorrow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, but then would you wear that suit or that dress to a wedding the next week? Can you double up on it?

[Kim]

Maybe not a wedding, but some kind of formal event. I'm an outfit repeater, so I'm kind of with Pete. The only difference is the event and the.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The facial expression.

[Kim]

And the facial expression.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, that's interesting.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's it. So you could go for cocktails at the Four Seasons right after the funeral and they wouldn't even know they just came from a funeral.

[Kim]

They would have no idea.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, beautiful. The difference is, though, I'll tell you what the difference is, and I think this is generational. My grandmother, growing up had a funeral dress. Like, this thing only came out during death this was a specific outfit this lady wore to every funeral we were ever at. Right? And if she did go out to dinner afterwards, people would say, you just had a funeral. That's how good the outfit was, you know?

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, that's good because that way when someone dies and you're so sad. Your grandmother didn't even have to think about the outfit. She just, like, knew, I gotta grab the. Hanging with the death dress, you know, Boom.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Not only a death dress, but you know what sold it. Why? It was a hat with a black veil. Oh, God, bro, you don't see that outside a funeral ever, I don't think. I think that's just like a. That's like a funeral staple.

[Pete Corrielli]

I don't even see that anymore that much at funerals. I mean, that's the veil. Oh, my God. It's usually only the widow, right? Or maybe the mom.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, the Italians, they, you know, they come full veil, ready to go. The whole funeral parlor's got a veil on, by the way, side note, my thank you notes. It's funny. Mark Friedland, he's a guy that did our wedding invitations out here. Check him out. He sent me a box of thank you notes. And I am so giddy about thank you notes right now. I just can't wait to get into a situation where a thank you note is going to be appropriate. That's how excited I am with these thank you notes. I just sent one to my mother in law and I can get your take on this. It had a big happy face. Just a happy face on it, opened it up blank, wrote a beautiful thank you note, and she sent me a picture when she got it. That's.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's nice, man. Bring that back. That's a lost art, you know, I mean, sometimes you get one, you take it out of the mail and before you even open it, you know, based on who it's from and the size of it, you're like, this must be a thank you note they're sending me for that thing. You're already. You're already like, guy's cool. That guy's cool.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Can you.

[Pete Corrielli]

Goes a long way.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Can you generally guess what you're getting in the mail prior to opening the mail? Like whether it be a thank you note. Just, you know, like, obviously when you see who it's from, you're like, oh, yeah, this is probably. But sometimes you get just like a random thing, like, what is this? Are you pretty good at guessing maybe what it could be? What's your percentage of accuracy on knowing what's in the envelope before you open it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, do you mean like everyday mail or do you mean like if you get something from a fan or like a surprise gift from a friend or something? What do you mean?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I guess what I'm asking is if somebody gets something from me with these thank you notes. Do you think they're guessing? Oh, this must be the thank you note that Sebastian's sending me for. Da da da. Or do you think they open it up?

[Pete Corrielli]

Probably, I don't know. Probably not. Your mother in law probably wasn't expecting one. By the way, I forgot to tell you. What? Your mother in law, I can't believe. I mean, we sent her a thank you, but I forgot to bring this up on the air. I don't know if you remember, a long time ago I talked about how I was taking Glad bags, sandwich bags and putting my phone in it on the road in the hotel shower so I can crank Sinatra while I'm showering before the show. Yeah, that's why I think it happened. But your mother in law, for my Christmas gift this year, got me one of these JBLs that's waterproof and it hangs from the shower spout. Oh my God, bro. I have Sinatra concerts at home with this thing. I put on the Sinatra SiriusXM channel outside the bathroom shower. I hang your mother's gift. I get in there and I'm just Fly me to. Oh God, my water bill's going up. Because your mother in law. This thing's unbelievable.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So.

[Pete Corrielli]

So that one, I knew why I got it. Okay, but then I bring that up. Yeah, go ahead.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Obviously you bring it up. Go ahead.

[Pete Corrielli]

Because then I got a gift from, I guess a cast listener a couple days ago, and it was no name on it. And it's just these things that you rub on your feet to get like calluses off. And I'm like, did we do a bit about that? I don't even know why I got these things. So that was random. I don't know. I'm like, what the hell? Thank you. But I mean, that was weird. Can you imagine if you gave an address? I can't, bro. They would send you live animals. It would be so cool, the shit they'd be sending.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, well, I gotta.

[Pete Corrielli]

We gotta get a P.O. box, man. Maybe over there at the studio where they can send you. Is that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Can we ask Andrew if that's possible? Andrew, is there. Do you get like fan mail here?

[Ad Announcer]

We have gotten stuff for other shows and channels sent to this studio address. So yeah, people can Send stuff to

[Pete Corrielli]

the Sebastian Maniscalco show here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Let's not give out the information. I'm just saying this guy's telling the whole world where I am and get killed leaving the parking lot out here. More of the Sebastian Maniscalco show next.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

now back to the Sebastian Maniscalco show. So listen, Pete, I gotta mention this, and maybe I missed you saying this. Did you just say that my mother law sent you a speaker for Christmas and it is April and there has been no thank you?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, no, we sent the thank you

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

note a long time ago. Oh, you did send the thank you note. Okay.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah. I just, I forgot to mention on air and we didn't get it until like two months after Christmas because we moved, so it got forwarded to me. So. Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did you get the Christmas card this year

[Pete Corrielli]

that I got that when I got that? Yeah, I commented to you in a text about that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, Yeah. I just want to make sure you got the Christmas card because you said you hadn't gotten it. April 30, I'm going in for a consultation to get a hair transplant. It's time.

[Pete Corrielli]

Bro, your honesty is just off the charts. I love it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I love it.

[Pete Corrielli]

But what do you. What are we doing? I don't know.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'll tell you what, when I'm getting up in the morning, I'm blowing hair off my lips.

[Pete Corrielli]

I mean, we all are. We all are. Okay, we can't know that. I mean, you know, I mean, I will say this. I know a guy around here who's got like, he does very, very well for himself. And he did turkey, bro. He went to turkey, comes back, he looks like fucking David Hasselhoff. I don't know what's Going on over there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You go to Turkey for hair and you come back, and then five years later, your. Your fucking nuts are gone. I ain't doing. I ain't doing turkey teeth. I know a lot of people are doing this. Turkey teeth, turkey hair, whatever they're doing, you know, and then they come back. I see the work, bro. I'm good. You don't need your nuts anymore.

[Pete Corrielli]

You don't need your nuts anymore. Yeah, but apparently, like, aren't these guys cutting edge? Not just cheap, but aren't they cutting edge? Like, if you know how to do hair transplant, don't you go to Turkey?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What? Bro. Bro, come on. Anything where you gotta, like, go and. Oh, they're doing hair and. Turkey hair and teeth, bro. I know a guy that. That got teeth, the turkey teeth, and they fell out when he was eating a piece of meat. There's a. His tooth was in the meat. Oh, yeah. But it was 20% less.

[Pete Corrielli]

It was coming loose on the line at customs, at jfk. He wasn't even back in the country yet, and his shit was loose. He could feel with his tongue, bro. So do you think there's a lot of. And we're not getting into names, but do you think there's a lot of famous men? Because I'm always blown away at how many leading men, coincidentally, still have full heads of hair into their 70s. I mean, it's just the odds of. What a coincidence. All the ones that are leading men, you know? So, like, do you think there's probably a lot of guys who've had American hair transplants that I don't even know about? That's how good it is.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. I think.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, you wouldn't know anyway. If you come back from Turkey, you wouldn't know that either, Right? Once it grows in, you don't know who did it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, but I'm. Oh, God. Listen, there's some guys out there that, like. All right, this guy definitely had a transplant. Like. Like Tom Brady, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know if that's his real hair. I doubt it. I'm not saying he's gone through this. I don't know anything either way. But if Tom Brady. The way that guy's hair is, if he told me, yeah. Went to Turkey and got this done, I'm on the next flight to Istanbul, right? I doubt. I doubt it. I would love to see five guys that went to Turkey before and after, and five guys that went to Beverly Hills. I want to see what that looks like. Right?

[Pete Corrielli]

The Beverly Hills. You probably can't prove. But, I mean, you might. It's probably online. If you Google who got to have transplants in Turkey.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know. Maybe I think it's secret. I don't know. A lot of. Like, if I was going to Turkey, I'd tell you. I go in Turkey and come back, I go, this is a turkey job. I ain't doing. I'm very honest about it. A lot of these guys will. I had this done eight years ago. I told you. I had this done eight years ago from the same guy.

[Pete Corrielli]

You had that great line where you said a half follicle fell to the ground. And you go. And I'm looking down, I'm like, there's $15,000 on the floor right now.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, the last time I went and did this, bro, you know, if anybody's had a hair transplant, it was. It's, like, involved. Because they're plucking hair out of the back of your head, and they're plugging it into the front of your head, and they numb you up. You know, they shoot you full of Novocaine in the head or whatever, Like a numbing. Whatever that drug is. Novocaine. It was Novocaine in the mouth. I don't know what the hell it was. But anyway, he shoots my head up. He starts doing it, and I'm sitting there going, man, this hurts, right? And like, 15 minutes in, he's like, you okay? I go, no, it actually hurts. He goes, you're feeling this. I'm like, why am I not supposed. Like, I thought it was like, this is. Oh, the Novocaine don't numb it all out. You gotta go through some pain. This guy was shocked that I was feeling anything. I said, fuck, guy. Get the needle out. What are we skimping on the Novocaine? Get the whole head. Get the brain numb.

[Pete Corrielli]

The fact that he said, you're feeling this, that's like bopping up from your

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

own heart surgery going, what's up, guys?

[Pete Corrielli]

How's it going? All right, you're doing good. So. So are you doing it with the same folks? Like, did they do such a good job? You're going with them again. The spot that you had done, that's good, right? That's not what I'm going.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know what I want to ask this guy is, is the hair you put in falling out or is the old hair falling out? So, like, when you get a hair transplant.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Does that hair fall out too? So I gotta ask them what's going on? Because it's thinning and it's like. It's. It's not good. We're in a bad place with the hair. If this continues the way it's going. If this continues, I'd say about a year from now, we're doing this. I'm bald. Bald. And once I go bald, I'm laughing

[Pete Corrielli]

at the way you say it, bro. I'm not laughing at what you're saying.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I go bald. I'll tell you this right now, because my head cannot take bald. My head is so big, I'll be all face, all head. You can see me coming from Fairfax, right? My career is over if I go bald. No, that's not true.

[Pete Corrielli]

I mean, you're.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're. You're.

[Pete Corrielli]

You're acting like the little bit of hair that we all have on our head is the difference between a career and not a career. It's all in your head. It might be like a change of, like, you know, characters and movies and stuff like that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But no, it's like, believe me, it's gonna be. You wanna hire him? And then the discussion. Did you see him lately? No. He's fucking bald. Bald.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm not gonna lie to you, man. I'm like, my act is designed for hair, too. I'm a little cocky. I think I'm a fucking. I think I'm cool. So I can't. This doesn't work with no hair. It's more like the message.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The message doesn't land if you're bald. My brand of humor does not land if I'm bald. Cause people, I'm going like this. You see this guy, how he behaves this, that, and the other thing. But then they're going to go, yeah, but you're bald. And then it's like, yeah, that's a wash. It's a wash. I gotta get in.

[Pete Corrielli]

So you think being bald just means, like, you have no right to make fun or say anything about anybody if you have no hair. That's not all in your head, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

That's all. It's similar to the book. I'll go back to the book. It's similar to the motivational book. It doesn't land if you're giving me motivational book and you're a loser. It don't land if I'm telling you, what are you doing on an airplane with your shoes off? And then they turn around and go, yeah, but you're both. And I'm like, all right, you got me. So that's it. It's over.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's not, it's not though, because you can't control hair. This is.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're talking about options turkey.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, I don't know man, we're rooting for you. I love the honesty, but I think you're. Yeah, I, I don't know man, I, I, I, I'm not looking forward to that day either, but it will be a life changing, I think.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. So I'll let you know how the consultation goes. I have to ask you, sir Aryeh, what's his name?

[Kim]

Arkie.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Arkie, I didn't get your, I got your name the first time and then I forgot it. So Arky is in studio. He wasn't in studio last time, am I correct? You were not here. Okay, this is what I think happened. Okay, Correct me if I'm wrong. Kim called Arkie after our last show and said, Kim goes, listen, I high possibility I'm going to be involved in this show on camera and whatnot. I don't know what the fuck you were thinking of not coming in and calling out sick last, last week, but get your ass in here and you could possibly be on the show too. Now Arky, where, where were you last week?

[Pete Corrielli]

On vacation.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, he's on vacation. Okay, so he's back. Oh, oh yeah, get on here, bro. We're using all elements here.

[Kim]

Oh my God. All right, come on in.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So, cause I want to paint a picture for the listeners too, you know, this is a audio show. So Arky's here, he's manning the one camera. Wait, Kim, do you not have a. Oh, you have this camera? I have this camera. Okay, so we got the camera people in the room with me. Pete, you don't even know this too. Now can we, do you see Arkie? Do you see him, Pete?

[Pete Corrielli]

Do I see him? I see some people in the distance. I can't see that well though.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, I'm off camera. Oh, he's off camera, guys. I mean, I don't even know if this is in the budget, but we might need to get an Archy, an Archie cam. We can do that set up here. Does this thing work? I'm not saying like everybody's scrambling. Relax. The whole room is like, it doesn't work. We need an Archie camp.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'm just saying calm down everyone for

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

next time we might need to activate a camera over here so we could possibly get Arky his take on a few things. So yeah, it was welcome back from vacation. Where'd you go? I was back in Ethiopia. Oh, Ethiopia, where I'm from. Okay, I Just heard that the United States has put a, like a travel warning on Ethiopia. It's dangerous there. We could look this up. Guys, you're looking. Did you hear about this?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, we're always on some kind of list.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, really?

[Pete Corrielli]

It's just a matter of when.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So when you went there, you didn't really. It's a bunch of crap. Yeah, it's peaceful. Okay. It's very peaceful. Don't listen to everything you hear. Okay, okay. Arkie's got opinions already. Jesus Christ, this guy's barking at me already. Just stop reading the news off camera. Welcome back, Arkie. Arkie just went to Ethiopia. Pete, Ethiopia even pop up in your brain as maybe a possible vacation, something?

[Pete Corrielli]

No, I mean, even hearing Arky talk about it, I'm like, you live there. Anyone else steps foot in there? I don't know, man, you a little, little nervous.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He says it's very peaceful. But bro, you could get. I could get. I had a better chance of getting stabbed right outside this building than I do probably. Ethiopia, right?

[Ad Announcer]

Facts.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Teeth facts. What did you say? Teeth?

[Kim]

How do you describe clock it, Archie?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

When you say something factual.

[Kim]

Yeah, exactly.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Clock it. Yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

When you're speaking.

[Kim]

When you drop the, drop the mic on some knowledge.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Clock it. Okay, listen, if you, if you're, if you're on a date with a guy and he goes, I can't even see. And you say something, he agrees with it and you go,

[Pete Corrielli]

sorry.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

He goes, t, I'm sorry, I asked for the check. I'd be like, I would ask for the check. I'm like, there's no way I'm gonna be able to have a family with you.

[Pete Corrielli]

Right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, there's no way. If a grown man out there is, is, is putting his hands up in the air, tapping his thumbs as a yes and saying, t, you have no chance.

[Kim]

It's mostly for the girls. Yeah. You're in on our knowledge.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, okay. This is a girl thing. But you know she did it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You know this though. Are you aware of this? Yeah, yeah. Okay, bro. Man, this show is educational, bro.

[Pete Corrielli]

I can't. They do this one in Hawaii. Oh, I forget what they call it when they do this in Hawaii. I. I was, like, telling Jackie, I gotta get out of here. I can't even with this. Like, if you let someone pass you.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, that's.

[Pete Corrielli]

And there's a word for.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

What's this? Yolo. What is that?

[Kim]

Hang loose.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Hang loose. That's it. Hang loose.

[Pete Corrielli]

Hang loose. Oh, man, I could do that at the door.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, bro, that's just 52 years old. I ain't doing hand signals for anything, man. At this age. Clock. Clock it. Clock. Clock in. Clock in. The only thing I say clock in is to the people that work for me, clock the in. We got to get to work. All right. Speaking of one second. Lock going, I'm going to Lakers game tonight, by the way.

[Pete Corrielli]

Nice, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Going to the Lakers game. Me and Lana. Lana and I. What's your take on this? Lana goes, should we wear yellow and purple? I said, I ain't wearing the colors of the team. Come on.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, That's a tough call. I mean, you're really at. Your first team is the Bulls anyway, right?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'm a Bulls fan. Yeah. I'm a Chicago fan. All over sports. I'm from Chicago. Oh, okay. So are you a Bullseye?

[Kim]

I'm a Bulls fan, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. Yeah. Where'd you grow up?

[Kim]

Oak Park? Naperville. Then I went to DePaul.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, my sister did. I think we had talked about this. My sister went to DePaul. I went to Northern Illinois University. NIU.

[Kim]

My mom went there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, yeah. DeKalb.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. We're family.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's unbelievable what's going on in studio today. Unbelievable. What we're finding out.

[Pete Corrielli]

The Chicago connection. Thick, man.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I can't wear the team colors. Even if I was going to a Bulls game, I don't think I would wear the red and the black. What you think? What you take at this age, 52 years old. I don't think you dress up as a teammate.

[Kim]

No, no.

[Pete Corrielli]

I think you gotta address what's gonna make you feel comfortable at the game. Like, last Friday, we went to a local minor league hockey game for the Buffalo Sabres. Minor league team, like, one step away from the. From the main team. And Jackie, we didn't go. You know, we actually played the arena. This is one of the arenas you played in Rochester. I opened for you. She had us. Cause it was gonna be chilly, she thought. And they ended up being on our lap the whole Time with Avonita. And we brought. Oh man, do you want to talk about show rage? Heated vests. Heated. And she goes, make sure, make sure we charge our batteries before we go. We had them out on the kitchen table charging our heated vest batteries.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh my God.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh my God. We didn't even need them. It wasn't even that cold. But like, you know, I mean, so you forget the jersey, man. I'm, I'm trying to bring what's going to make me most comfortable. You gotta, you gotta. That's what you got to do, bro. Cuz if that camera cuts to you purple shirt.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's amazing though, how both of you, like, are on the same page with that, like, and we've talked about this before. It just seems like you and Jackie are the same person when it comes to a lot of things. And there's a lot of conflict between Lana and I in regards to like, you know, just, you know, everyday kind of things. Like, do we wear like, she's probably going to wear yellow and purple, right? And I'm going to come dressed like I'm going to a funeral. But you and Jackie, like, is there ever a time where you go, what the. Put the vests away. What do you think we are, 88?

[Pete Corrielli]

You know, like, yeah. Oh man. All the time.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

But you're there with it. Like, I don't know, like, do you ever win?

[Pete Corrielli]

No, it's not about winning or losing. It's like I, I mean, even I, I, I went through a phase, man, where like, I find that a lot of times when I don't do what my wife's doing, like this, you know, she's like, oh, I'm gonna get this. Because I think this coffee is gonna be good. And I'm like, I'm gonna get this. And she'll go, I don't know. I think this one's gonna be better. And I've done that a zillion times. I've done that. Hey, who you to tell me I'll get that? And then her coffee's better. So I went through a phase once for like, I told you this once, man, for like two weeks where I'm like, I'm just gonna do whatever the she tells me to do. And my life was beautiful. It was actually beautiful, you know. And then once in a while you just get tired of it, so you just go against it. And then it's like usually like, like, so it's usually the right call. But the vest was a bad call. But like one that stands out. I remember when we got a new. I'll never forget this, bro. We got a new Jeep at the time. And she goes, we gotta get an extra thing of gas and tank of gas and keep it in a can in the back. And I go, why? Well, that's what you do when you have a Jeep in case you run out of gas, you want to have more. I go, what, are we going through the outback? We live in town. I was like, if I have your wife say something so bizarre that you're like questioning everything, you're like, what the what?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, no, it happens a lot, bro. It happens a lot. I just feel like. I just feel like, you know, Lana's got some great, great. We had a problem with this jacket. She's like, I don't think you should wear the jacket. I go, you had a problem with the sweater last week. And I get it. I looked at the tape and the sweater looked like it was. It was just a dud. But she's like, oh, this could, you know, this looks like it's, you know, you should be like a bomber jacket. But she doesn't know. It gets hot in here. You know, it gets. Got the, the lights.

[Pete Corrielli]

I think that's a great look right there. I think that's a good looking guy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. So I'm just gonna like, wear kind of some light fitted clothing. Something, you know, still kind of casual, but still a little, little dressy. So. Yeah, I mean, Lana does say some things at times where I, by the way, talk about. Lana and I, we. We. We got our kitchen back. The kitchen is up and running, bro. And I gotta tell you, I think I was in a severe depression without a kitchen, because my.

[Pete Corrielli]

I believe it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. My happy place is cooking. I cooked on Sunday night. And I gotta tell you, to see my kids eat the food that I made and eat it with. I mean, they were loving it. I will. Steak, steak frites I made. And it was. God, was it so good. So good, man. Wow, man. Yeah.

[Pete Corrielli]

Really? I mean, the kitchen, bro, it's the hub of everything. Not even just eating. You sit there with your coffee, you just chill out and like, how's everything running? Is it great? Do you love it? Is the setup nice? Are you, like, blown away by it? What's up?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I mean, it's, you know, there's some things that we need to, you know, touch up. Whether it be paint or like one of the dishwashers is not working. And some, some things are like, just need, like, minor, minor touch up. But for the most part, it Is.

[Pete Corrielli]

You're right.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's the central hub of the house. It's the gathering place. It's where we all meet. I made eggs, breakfast yesterday for the kids. Little eggs and bacon. I mean, we were ordering out the whole time. You know, it was. It was. It was terrible. It was. It was boring. So now that this is up and running, and I got my father, and my father comes Thursday, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, great.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Now, I don't know, listeners out there, viewers, what. What it is like in your family. But my father, when I'm cooking for him or when I'm doing anything, basically my father, like, my father will, let's say, listen to this show. And if I know he listened to it and he doesn't say anything means he don't like it. So if my dad don't say nothing, it means he's displeased with whatever is going on. We go out to dinner, right? Or I make him dinner. If he don't say anything, he doesn't like the food. He has a hard time of just saying, this is great. Thanks a lot. And then going home. Going home and throwing up, you know, like. You know what I'm saying? Like, he. He doesn't. He doesn't know the, like, the kind of. The social graces of just like, you know, I sweat my ass off in the thing. I don't need to hear. I don't need to hear. Needs more salt. You know, I've never said that to anybody that's ever cooked for me in my life. I've never, like, commented, going, you know what this needs? And like, yeah, it needs you to shut your mouth and eat it.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah. But the flip side of that is when your dad does give you a compliment, that's gotta be like triple powerful. Cause you're like, damn, man. He ain't saying it if he don't mean it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, this is where I had a coach, Lana, right? Lana has a tendency to promote whatever we're doing and talk it up. So we're gonna go out to dinner Saturday night. And I had to say, listen, don't tell him anything about the food, because Lana will go, oh, my God.

[Pete Corrielli]

You know what?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You have to get the lemon pizza or you have to get the meatballs. They are so good, right? I said, don't say any of this to my family. Don't say any of this to my father. Especially my father, because his expectations now are leveled up. And if it doesn't meet his expectations, let him say he likes the meatball, the lemon pizza. Let it Come from him. Don't coerce the witness.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a lot involved. When he comes into town, we gotta like.

[Pete Corrielli]

Did you. I know you don't watch this show or you have. If you have, you haven't seen as many as me. Have you been watching Landman?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I only watched one episode.

[Pete Corrielli]

Well, I'm not great, because I'm not gonna. The whole thing, but there's just something that was done that I. When I thought of it, when I saw it, I was like, wow. This is based on what you say about your d. Aches and pains. Sam Elliott. I'm not giving anything away in the story. A therapy. This lady comes over because he's got all these aches and pains to the house, and she just takes him out to the pool. She's hot, you know, but she's like, I'm just gonna. You strip down. He go to your bathing suit or your underwear, and you. And you just float. And I'm gonna hold you up and lightly rock you in the pool while you float on your back for an hour, right? And like, it makes you not have any stress on any part of your body. So, like, if you can hire a hot chick to come over and float your dad on his back for about an hour between one and two every day, man, forget it, bro. He's gonna love it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Seriously, you complain about that? She's not holding me. She put my hand. Oh, my God. Get the. Out of the pool.

[Pete Corrielli]

Your wife said she's the best floating holder out there. She's such a great holder floater. Think she was that great. Is he coming solo?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, he'll have his. He'll have his significant other with.

[Pete Corrielli]

So didn't he meet a friend one time out at your place? I thought that happened one time too. Like another guy from. Or maybe in Chicago. I thought there was a time that you guys did a three. Maybe I'm.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Did what?

[Pete Corrielli]

But I thought he had a friend meet him from la. Oh, maybe I was. I thought you. I could swear that happened one time. Like your dad had a friend that traveled with. To la, and you guys did something together. A guy, another friend?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, no, no, no, no. I don't think so.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

so what? I went to a couple casinos this weekend out in our buddy John's neck of the woods. Utica. Is that by you? I think I might have passed you, actually. Are you near Utica? Syracuse?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm only about an hour from Syracuse.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Turning Stone Casino. Ring a bell?

[Pete Corrielli]

It does ring a bell. It Does. But I thought, I don't know why. I feel like I saw a clip that you were playing there and I was like, I didn't know. I thought that was in California. No, it does ring a bell, but I didn't know it was here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, it was up in Utica and. I was on an airplane and the guy across from me, the flight attendant, spilled orange juice all over him. She came by with the orange juice before the flight took off. Spilled all over him. Really nice guy. Really nice guy. Just handled it with class, you know? I mean, it's just. It's tough when you get something spilled on you. It's like you, you got you wrestling with a lot of different things, right? It's like you get the spill, then your first reaction was like, mob up. But then it's like you gotta like, like it's an accident, you know? And then you gotta kind of. But the way he handled it. Indian guy, right. I feel like the Indian culture is very like polite, polite culture, you know, Very. Like you never see like a. Never see like an angry Indian guy, right? I don't see. I don't hear a lot out of the Indians. All the Indians I know are very like mild mannered, just like the Japanese man. Yeah. Indians aren't at the top, are they? I mean, obviously. Anybody ever. No. You ever see an Indian guy?

[Kim]

I mean. Yeah, but

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

here we go.

[Pete Corrielli]

I mean, at the stores,

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I gotta, like, I gotta. We're again, you know, we're dealing with a different generation here. Like, they, they don't. They don'. Tend to like pinpoint, like. Oh, yeah, that. That culture does this. Everybody's like, no. And everybody acts up. I'm just saying. In general.

[Kim]

In general.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Just Indians, Asians tend to be.

[Kim]

It's a different culture.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, different. Different when it comes to volume, Right? Like Ethiopians, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, a little, you know, but there's

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

always, you know, some people who are really mad sometimes. But in general, yes, in general, Ethiopians are kind of mild mannered people. No. Yeah, I never hear much out of the Ethiopians. Hey, Pete, what'd you hear last time at Ethiopian acting up?

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, that's true. Right? You never go up. Here we go with the Ethiopian, lip it off again. You don't hear that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, you know, it's just like, who was it? An Ethiopian. He's Ethiopian. Ethiopians are never really in the, in the zeitgeist of things, Right. Kim's looking at me like this guy's out of his mind. So I gotta tell you though, man. 52 years old, going on 53 in July. By the way, want to throw this out at you. Did I tell you about Seraphina's birthday? Did I tell you about this? No. No. On Sunday, Seraphina is turning nine, if you could believe it. Wow.

[Pete Corrielli]

Wow.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The birthday party is called Granny Thena. Ten girls are dressing up as grandmothers to come to the party now. This was her idea. I. I went into her room today. She has a walker with tennis balls and her cane. She got a cane, too. It's tied to the walker, bro. Now I'm sitting here looking at this, going, my God. Every year I had a birthday party growing up, same birthday party, just put a eight, a nine in the cake. It was the same thing. There was no, like, theme. It was water balloon fights. Pin the tail on the donkey.

[Pete Corrielli]

Big one.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Pizza. Did you ever do bobbing for apples?

[Pete Corrielli]

Never did bobbing for apples, but I always loved a good round of musical chairs. Damn, did I like that lost game, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, man,

[Pete Corrielli]

that was a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So. So. But yeah, right there with your same people, usually the ones that live on the block and a couple others. And. And then. And then, as you always say, cake and goodbye. Right? I mean, we're done.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, they're so.

[Pete Corrielli]

So your daughter had this theme idea. Your daughter's idea.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. Granny.

[Pete Corrielli]

Very creative, bro.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's gonna hurt. Is going to be in rollers, spray paint the top white, you know, for. For gray, whatever. They're going to have a puzzle race. Who could put a puzzle together faster? Like, there's like a 25 piece puzzle, but puzzle race. Because, you know, older people put. They're going to have. This is. This is something that's very popular amongst. Amongst women. Can I. Could I say that?

[Kim]

Yeah, you can say it. Absolutely. Let me see if I agree.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Mahjan. Do we have any women playing mahjan? Mahjan.

[Pete Corrielli]

No.

[Kim]

That's definitely a grandma game.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, well, actually. I'm sorry, the red light is on.

[Pete Corrielli]

Making a comeback.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Somebody wants something.

[Financial Advisor Announcer]

Oh, no, I was saying I don't,

[Pete Corrielli]

but I would love to.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay, so Allison says that she would love to play mahjong. It's gaining popularity. I don't understand it. It's a board game with tiles and. And it's Asian. I believe. I believe. Chinese. Chinese, yeah. Andrew. Yeah. Everybody's nodding their head.

[Ad Announcer]

It is Chinese in origins.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Chinese in origins. So mahjong, big game. We have a mahjong instructor coming to the house to teach the grannies how to play Mahjong. There is a, I believe, a cotton candy eating contest. But you can't use your teeth. You gotta kind of like act like you got no teeth and kind of eat cotton candy with no teeth. So there's these kind of. And then they're gonna watch a, A movie. I think they're gonna watch. I don't know what the movie is. But anyway, we got that happening.

[Pete Corrielli]

Driving Miss Daisy, They're gonna watch Golden Girl. We're gonna have a Golden Girls marathon. Right. Listen, I'm into the cotton candy. I was into the first thing, but the mahjong instructor thing, I can picture a couple of kids going to your daughter. Is that a pool behind up there? Why don't we just go jump in that?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I don't know how well the mahjan's gonna go over. We'll see. But yeah, so that's, that's happening at the house on Sunday.

[Pete Corrielli]

All right, but.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yes. Yeah. Lot going on, man. A lot going on. I think we're kind of heading to the end of our.

[Pete Corrielli]

Here.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Why. Why am I looking at a rubber duck? Somebody shopping for rubber ducks on Amazon in there?

[Pete Corrielli]

We were given the cue that, that

[Ad Announcer]

was kind of the wrap it up signal.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Oh, bro. You know, just, just to, to give you an idea, like, we used to have a rubber duck come out, and that used to be like, hey, we're, we're kind of done with the show. So I got rubber ducked, bro. When you're getting rubber duck, the, the whole staff is going, we got to get out of here.

[Pete Corrielli]

We got to go.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We got to go party.

[Pete Corrielli]

Did, Did Patrick do a rubber duck handle? Or is that a fresh rub? Or is that a fresh rubber duck? Is what I'm trying to figure out. 100%, Patrick. Like, you're good. It's a fresh one.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, it's a fresh.

[Debt Relief Announcer]

It's a.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Well, no, it's, it's, it's not. It's on the screen, bro. They don't even have.

[Kim]

It's a digital duck.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

It's a digital duck.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, I can't see. I gotta, we gotta figure something out, bro, because I, I, I like, I, it's. Everything is a little far away. And I'm not, not putting on readers for the show.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I think, I think maybe we gotta give Pete a 45 inch television on his side so he could actually see what's happening here.

[Pete Corrielli]

Oh, that's great idea, bro. That's what I'm gonna do. Giant screen. You look good. Your lighting this week is, like, nice. I like that.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Dialing it in here, I'm telling you, we have no activity here.

[Pete Corrielli]

Sound is great.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, it sounds fantastic. This is. This is a high level production, bro. There's nobody outside here. Last. Last time we had that day, I met Green Day afterwards.

[Pete Corrielli]

No, you did, Yeah, I met the guy.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah. It's like. It's like I always go into meeting people that are famous, which, you know, and my thought is, they don't know who I am. They just don't. It's never my thought where I go over there and go, hey, probably should. I never. I don't like these guys. Don't know who the fuck I am, because I. I really don't know who they are. I mean, I know Green Day, but I don't know. I know the. The lead guy because he just got a distinctive look to him. But the other guys in the band, I really. I mean, if I saw that guy on the street, I wouldn't know. He was like the bassist for Green Day. Right. But nice guys. Talked about Italy and the guy who's been to my father's hometown. It was a nice guy. But the reason I'm bringing that up is because it's Sirius xm. You don't know who's floating in the hallways and you've had this experience. Would Brewer, or there's, you know, there could literally be a major star walking outside in the hallway. And just to have that. Just knowing that's available is exciting. Especially.

[Pete Corrielli]

Especially the LA out there, man. I've never even been out there. That's got to be dynamite. You can have anyone, bro. Can I? Anyone from Sean Penn come walking into? I don't know. I mean, did you talk to the guy about coming on the show at some point?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

The Green Day guy?

[Pete Corrielli]

Billy Joe? Billy Joe?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

No, I don't. That's another thing. I just haven't, like, figured out how that fits into the conversation yet. I got a feeling, hey, I don't

[Pete Corrielli]

know if you live far from here, but if it's not too far, you ever want to come back and hop on with me, I'd love it to have you on my show. Boom, that's it.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

We'll see.

[Pete Corrielli]

I'll.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

I'll weave it into conversations. We'll see how that goes. Before I leave, I want to tell you one thing. Yeah? I don't. I didn't have my credentials today to get into the joint. I didn't have my fob. I didn't have the parking thing. I didn't have anything right. So when I Went up to the fourth floor to park. And this is where. This is just an amateur move, and I should know better, but I gotta poke fun of myself. I came in and the valet guy's there, right? And he's like, here, for serious, right? And I said, yeah, no, I don't have my pass or anything. Channel 99, you know, I was throwing this shit at him, right? He's looking at me like.

[Pete Corrielli]

That's what you said?

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Yeah, like he's got a clipboard. Oh, yeah, 99. Yeah. Sebastian.

[Pete Corrielli]

So, like. So if Eminem pulls up without his credentials, he just goes, shade 45. Park right there.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

You're good, right? So now I gotta explain, like, that I'm part. Like, I'm part of the organization now, because it's like, this is where I am in my career. There's a lot of explaining I have to do a lot of the time, especially coming into new situations, right? Like, you know, pick anybody. Like, John Mayer pulls up. I mean, as John Mayer going, I'm John Mayer. I got a show here. I don't know. I don't. I'm just saying, based on who I'm talking to. The valet guy. I know he's not. Like. He probably don't know who I am, right? I just interrupted him watching Game of Thrones on his iPhone, right?

[Pete Corrielli]

So.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So I'm like, no, channel 99. I'm one of the hosts on the. On the channel 99. I kept throwing out 99 like he was gonna hear it more. Yeah, he heard it the first time, bro. He didn't react to it at all.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

So he goes, oh, there's no spots. Now, was this. Andrew. Was that spot reserved for me that I parked in?

[Ad Announcer]

That is correct.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay. So I told the guy, I go, listen, last week, that spot that you're reserving, that was held for me. So why don't I. You ever, like, play manager to somebody else's job? I just. I just managed this guy out. I go, why don't I just park there, give you my keys. If you need to move it, you move it. He goes, yeah, no problem. This guy was looking for guidance all day long. But I promise next week I'll have the. I don't even know where this stuff is. I don't know where I put the fob because it's so new to me. I don't even know where it even is in my house. I gotta go, like, look for it. And I'm, like, nervous to tell them I lost it, and they're gonna Like, I feel like it's gonna go up the thing. He lost his fob for the first week, this idiot. We gotta spend more money and making him a new pass. But we got Arky here. Kim is in studio. Now, Arky, knowing that is a possibility, that you're gonna be on camera next week. Do we see a fully different outfit? What? What's. I don't know if I can do that.

[Pete Corrielli]

This is. This is gonna be me every day.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

Okay? On camera, off camera. That's what I like about Arky. He don't get. He don't care. Camera. No camera. He's coming in. That's it. As is.

[Pete Corrielli]

Yes.

[Sebastian Maniscalco]

All right.

[Pete Corrielli]

Because I'm a camera guy. Authentic.
