SPEAKER_07Who the hell's NWA?
SPEAKER_06We can't get into that, but show for another time. That's another, yeah. NWA is a great, great rap band from Google them. All right. They were a gangster back in the 80s, man. They changed the way rap was. NWA came and they changed the way rap was. Well, you know, I how can I say a blank with attitudes.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_06Okay, that's all you gotta know. Great band, though. They were awesome. They got a movie out about them. It's sick. You know? Anyway, I love heavy metal. I'm a drummer myself, and I do have an album that just came out. It's on the market. If you guys go to FNARecords.net and look for Last Roll of the Dice.
SPEAKER_07Congratulations, thank you.
SPEAKER_06You know, it's so funny it's a great story, man, because the band is from 1993.
SPEAKER_07I was gonna say, tell us when you start.
SPEAKER_06The minute you say 19, you know it's old. You know, it's at least 26 years old. 19, right? Yeah. So the band started back in uh 1991. And we was I was in another band that these guys, some town, but we sucked. You know what I'm saying? And that band went to another band, to another band, you know, like I one guy joined the band and said, hey, let's leave this band and start our own band. So we left that band, start our own band, and then we got put an ad out for a bass player, and Steve came along, then me and Steve were like, fuck that guy, get him out of here. So the guy originally left what he's out. Then, you know, we got a keyboard player, and then a singer came along. And a great story about the singer is the sound that we had back then, we thought we sounded like triumph almost. Like we like a that's a sound that we're looking for, like triumph. So the my bass player meets up with this guy named Warren, and he goes, So you can sing, you know, this is what we're looking for. And he has a tape. He goes, This is exactly what we're looking for. He plays the tape for Juan. And Juan listens to it, and he goes, you know what? That is so easy for me to do. He goes, really? Yeah, because that's me. The tape was actually one. On the tape. So I was like, holy shit, that was the odd to that. Yeah, wow. So the band, we played out a bunch of times, and you know, we we were starting to get a following. And then we got a call from, I think it was Sony Records. I can't remember. What is one of the recompanies were interested in the band? But you know what? The thing with the band is we were just like two years too late. You know what I mean? Because we were more like 80s, you know, in the 90s it was it was different, you know what I'm saying? So but the recompany still was it was Atlantic Records, that's what it was. They were interested in the band, they wanted to see these TV shows.
SPEAKER_07Is Atlantic Records even around anymore?
SPEAKER_06I don't even know. So what happened was they w they set up three shows for us. One's in Manhattan and a place called Dance Interior. The second one was in Baltimore and a place called Hammerjacks, and the third one was in Boston somewhere, I forgot the name of that one. So we were excited because they wanted to send their representatives down to watch us, see how we handled the crowd, you know what I mean, how we sounded live, they wanted to see all this, you know what I mean? So about a week before the first show, our singer, and he quits the man. And that was it. I mean, I was the singer who, if you ever hear a rival, you'll you know scan before you gotta leave. He was the man, he was the man. His voice was just like, holy shit. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_07Can you play us a little clip?
SPEAKER_06Um, let me see if I can get it on my computer. Let me see. Uh if I can I can't play it right now, but I will when I air a show, there'll be a clip on it. Okay.
SPEAKER_07Right now I was just about to say. Let me see.
SPEAKER_06Let me I might be able to play a clip. I don't know. Let's find out. Let me play with this. Um what's going on my uh computer? I I'll figure it out. All right. But anyway. Um so the band broke up, basically. And then we kept going looking for singers, but it never really clicked. You know what I mean? Then I decided it was time to make my baby, my daughter was born. I gotta leave the band. I'm not I'm not doing this no more. So but the band always stayed in touch, you know, even though we were mad at the singer at the time. But, you know, after like ten years, you know, we had a reunion show, you know what I mean? And then we just always always stayed together. And in 2013, a keyboard player, he took all our songs and put them on a CD. And it was a cool it was a pretty cool CD. When that C D went to C D baby, where you can buy it, you know, online. And we always we we sold a lot of them. We got like a Black Bush, Germany, Japan, all those countries bought up our CDs. And we actually were making money with this. Not much, but like to make a second album.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, that's really cool.
SPEAKER_06Right, so we were trying to make a second album, and what happened was um now life got everybody's way. So nobody really, you know. But we always got like these phone calls like, hey, can I use this song for my website? Can we use this song for you know, yeah, go ahead. So finally we got this call from FNA. We're not gonna sing, we want to assign you guys. We want to put your your CD out as a real CD out of the market, you know. So what would you say? Fuck yeah.
SPEAKER_07Hell yeah, yeah. Take it, take it.
SPEAKER_06That's exactly what we did. We took it and That's like so proud of you. Thank you. So we took it and uh it just came out yesterday, I think, or two days ago, or something like that.

SPEAKER_06I want the record company. I want the sales from the record. Oh you started. I was like, I had to be in my 20s, man, like 27. But it's cool to have something like that, and the whole band's still together. Like, we still talk. And they're last we're talking about maybe getting back together to do a show. They might want us to do a show. You know what I mean? But the guitar player, he lives out in California now.

We put this the same album that we put out on CD, baby. But that was us doing it. So we had to pay for everything. And this is cool because the record company is putting it out, so they pay for everything. So they pay for the CDs and all the merch. Like I'm looking on the website, I'm like, you can buy a t-shirt?

SPEAKER_07Exactly.
SPEAKER_06But uh, you know, it was it was cool because um I drove down there two Saturdays ago. I left it for 4 30 in the morning. And when I go by myself, I I don't stop. I I stopped. You know, I I'll get gas, piss coffee gone. Gas, piss coffee gone. I got food with me. You want to make me some sandwiches? I got everything I need with me in the car. So I I didn't even stop at Bucky's man, and I love buckies. They have the best you ever go there? They have the best brisket sandwich you'll ever eat in a big that you talk to that been there, they also eat holy fuck the brisket sandwiches is amazing. And they're really expanding. I actually passed four of them now. I passed four of them going in a day. Georgia and two of Florida. And now opening up one in Port St. Lucy with all this. I wish it would. The only thing we have in Jersey is a sign of the bucket saying five hundred and eighteen miles that way.
SPEAKER_07Really funny.
SPEAKER_06That sucks. You see the sign? That way, 518 miles.
SPEAKER_0510 miles later.
SPEAKER_07518 miles now.
SPEAKER_06In the other way, the other direction. Not even the way that the water.
SPEAKER_07Turn around.
SPEAKER_06So I left that Saturday and I hauled ass, man. I left 4 30 in the morning. I was in my hotel room 10 30 that night. So 10 30 at night. Drinking a beer. And actually, I just left my trailer the way it is. Took my truck down the main street, hung out that night, and that was pretty cool.
unknownWow.
SPEAKER_06So I drove all day, and that was that. And then um she flew in on Monday because she had two weeks to go to.
SPEAKER_07Right, right. She had called me in.
SPEAKER_06Right. So she came in. I went to go pick him up in uh Orlando and then we had a great time. We had a great we stayed at a great place called the Tropical Manor, guys. If you're out there traveling, you go to Daytona, a great hotel, which where Motorcycle Man Radio stays every bike week in Bike Toba Fest, is a Tropical Manor right on the beach. Right on the beach, A1A. We had a beautiful room. We opened up our door, you look at the beach, man.
SPEAKER_07How was the weather?
SPEAKER_06It was actually um beautiful.
SPEAKER_07It rained two days.
SPEAKER_06A little chilly, maybe, but then it warmed up. Depending on where you are. Daytona Beach, it was like 76. You go over the bridges of Daytona, it's like 80. You know, and like 85. Big difference. I was attended. What? I was the attendant. Well, I felt like it was one of the bigger ones. And it's funny because some of the pictures you'll see, like, there's nobody there. But it was it was one of the bigger ones. If you've ever been to Daytona and you're going to the Harley Davidson dealership, you pass the iron horse at a huge bar. It took me an hour, over an hour to get to the dealership from there when it's like a four-minute ride.
SPEAKER_07Wow.
SPEAKER_06From you know, you can almost see from the iron horse, you can probably see 95, and then that's where the dealership is on the other side 95 on the corner. It took me over an hour to get there one day. That's how bad. And that was during a week. Not even a weekend. The weekend is a different story.
SPEAKER_08Of course.
SPEAKER_06But yeah, but the weather was great. We had a good time. Um, we had all the restaurants that we wanted to go to. I have like I have a bunch of favorite restaurants down there. One's called the River Grill. It's on that one. And it's on like a pond that's like a little canal that leads out to where boat charm and stuff. Eventually it can lead out to the ocean, I'm sure. But this place is awesome because in the back it's got all these levels of decks that you can sit on that lead down to the water. And for the first time since 2012, 11, I've been going there. I saw an alligator. Finally. Finally saw the alligator. There he was.
SPEAKER_07How many years?
SPEAKER_06Since 2011. Never seen shit down there. And there he is. He wanted to go to Bucky's. I I sent them a French fry. He didn't eat it. I threw a French fry down there, he didn't eat it.
SPEAKER_07He wanted Bucky's. Exactly.
SPEAKER_06A leg? Yeah, yeah, I'll take a leg, you know. Exactly. No. So uh, you know, uh we did a lot of bike riding with a motorcycle. I took him on a ride called the Loop. It's in Ormond Beach, and the Loop basically starts out, you go past all these million dollar houses. I mean, you just drool like over these houses, gorgeous. And then you get to like a scenic, you know, uh nature run, you know what I mean? Which is beautiful, and then you got like a tunnel of trees that you go through, and it's about a 45-minute ride around the whole loop. And I took her on that, she loved it. And uh, like I said, we had all the restaurants we wanted to, like the thing, the problem with Daytona that I always have is that it's the same shit every year, same bands. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_08Of course.
SPEAKER_06So you find yourself going to the same bars. You know, you're gonna go to the boot hill, Iron Horse, Broken Spoke, Froggies. I'm so sick of these bars, you know, every year. I go twice a year. Bike Toba Fest and and Bike Wing. So I just want to get out there and try other bars. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_07Right. When they don't have 30,000 people.
SPEAKER_06Right. Yeah, when it gets busy down there, it gets crazy down there.
SPEAKER_07We went to Florida, it was like eight years ago.
SPEAKER_05Where'd you go? It was Tampa, Orlando. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, we went to uh Universal. That's when we went to Laddie.
SPEAKER_06We just got back from there too. In November. We went to Universal.
SPEAKER_05It's crazy.
SPEAKER_06The what?
SPEAKER_05The Halloween Horror Night.
SPEAKER_06I heard about that. We I gotta say we hit we fucking hit Disney at the right time. Because it was a week before Thanksgiving. Nobody was there. The next week I wouldn't want to be there. But there was nobody there. I mean and she signed us up for these speed passes and shit. We don't need them. You got it in like eight minutes, six minutes. And the baseline was like 19 minutes. Yeah, well, you know what I she was she wanted them. We were given uh four uh passes. Uh called hopper passes. So we go to four different theme parks. You can go all the same day if you want, or you got four days to go to whatever park you want to. So we're gonna get this just for nothing. Like, go, go. So we went, and uh it was awesome. First we went to Texas and we flew to Disney. And yeah, you guys ever go to Disney Springs?
SPEAKER_08No.
SPEAKER_05That's Disney World and Disneyland. No, Disney Springs, Disney Springs.
SPEAKER_06It's an adult playground.

SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Like when you go to Mexico or whatever, all those bars are in there. Okay? It's just a uh a paradise for adults. You don't want to bring your kids to that. You just want to go and have a fucking blast.
SPEAKER_07Everybody walks around naked.
SPEAKER_06Not naked, maybe, I don't know. But it could happen. But we went there, they had some cool shit in there too. You can bring your family there too if you want. They had like a balloon ride, a balloon that goes way up in the sky, but it's still tied up. Like you're not gonna get stuck up there. And then they had like Legoland and the bowling alley, a movie theater. But they had for adults though. But you could bring your kids, but I wouldn't want to.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_05What was that bar? Um it was called I went there. It was called the Land of Adventure. That's what it was called? Back, I mean, 30 years ago. It's a shepherd from this called The Land of Adventure. And you'd go there, like you said, all bars, yeah, restaurants, yeah. It was the playground for the city. Jessica Rabbit was like a big full-size Jessica Rabbit out front, and she had her own like bar restaurant, and it it was all like nightclubs, yeah, rock and roll clubs, exactly. All kinds of clubs that you could go to. BB, uh was that BB Kings or like and then they had like in the middle of it, uh bands playing, and like at 12 midnight, they had fireworks going off and crap. Crazy.
SPEAKER_06Oh, we went on a great time. Because it was they just transferred everything over to Christmas. So it was all Christmas themed, even all the parks. Really cool. You know, like you know, I've got to spend Christmas.
SPEAKER_07When did you go?

SPEAKER_06We did this a small world.
SPEAKER_07We did all this, we did all these fucking rides, right? I'm telling you, it's it's so much fun.
SPEAKER_06Did we take it? That was great though. Like, I never really did Uber before. Right? I never like I I never had to, you know.

SPEAKER_06But we didn't have a car because we flew, you know? So I was like, I downloaded the Uber app. I'm like, holy shit, this is the best thing in the world. Holy shit. I'm telling you. So call the Uber. He's nine minutes away. Seven minutes away. And he's sitting there and I was saying, There he is. It starts vibrating at like a minute. Yeah. And then you get in the car, and he brings you right to the entrance of the park after Lavisa, the bitch, and you and you're gone.
SPEAKER_07Exactly. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06And then on the way out, you hit it again, and there's your car. And I think I didn't have to worry about drinking at Disney Springs. We fucking dragged my ass off. It was awesome. I mean, it was incredible. It really was an incredible experience. But that was that was cool. So we just one guy. We had to go to my mother's house. She lives in the villages. You hear that?

SPEAKER_06And that's Eric. Eric. So I ended um last segment with Cockroach Fest, right? So what happened was I'm sure I told the story on the show before, but I'll tell it again. So what happened was we rented a house, all right, on uh hotels.com, whatever it was. We got uh an Airbnb.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_06A house. Had uh had uh two beds, two bedrooms, kitchen, all that. Dawn's mother was with us. So we got after we landed in the airport in Houston, we had a drive. It was like a three hour drive almost, and we were tired. Got to the house around 10 o'clock that night. Bought everything in the house. I go, I'm gonna go to the store. We don't have nothing. You know, nothing. No water, nothing. So we went to the really awesome car again. So I go find a gas station. Nothing else opened. And I buy a crazy water. I buy a couple of egg sandwiches, you know, once under the heat lamp, you know, for the morning. I buy a whole bunch of shit. Cookies, chips, you name it. And I spent$150 on shit. So I bring everything back to the room. I put everything on the counter. Alright? I open up a couple cookies and take them upstairs with me, right? So the next morning, don't have to do something on the computer downstairs. So I come downstairs the next morning and I'm like, what is that on the wall? And I look at the fucking roach here on the wall. So I kill it. I go, and I'm looking at it, I go, is that a roach or is it like a bug? A beetle. So I'm gonna make sure it's a roach. Then all of a sudden I'm looking in the kitchen, I'm like, what's all these fucking little bugs on the floor? And I open up the coffee machine, the curic, and there was a fucking roach inside.
SPEAKER_07That's disgusting.
SPEAKER_06So I'm like, this is fucking nasty. I I'm not. So now we're going crazy now. All the food I bought's on the counters and the fucking roaches running around the counter. In the sink, they're going around the sink like crater. So we call the guy, the guy's like, uh, I'll get an exterminated there tomorrow. Tomorrow? I said, we're getting the fuck out of here now. So I got dawn and the mother. We're going out for the day. You know what I mean? I dropped them off to get their hair done. I bought raid. I came back, I raided the whole fucking kitchen every day. I would have bombed it. I didn't know what to do.
SPEAKER_07They got those fog bombs.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, right. So finally, the next morning, like we go out all day. We come back at night and we're still seeing roaches in the kitchen. No one else in the house, just the kitchen. So we're like, now we're up all night, like every time you felt something on your arm, you think it's a fucking bug. So we called the guy, the guy would help us. He's like, uh, I sent you an exterminator. I got exterminator said he's here once a week. You know what? You should put that in your fucking head. You got roaches in your fucking house. Fucking gross. And you knew about it because he had these plugs for the sink that you you put in the sink so no bugs could come up. So you knew about this shit. Right? So now her son didn't live far from there. Well, like Tyler will come to your house. We went and bought like um the mattresses, like the blog mattresses, yeah. And he and he had another bedroom for the mother to stay in. So he had three bedrooms in that house. One bedroom was an office that we turned into a bedroom, and the mother stayed in the other bedroom, and we fought with this guy. He wouldn't give us some money back. Like, we're fucking paying us, man.
SPEAKER_10Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06He gave the mother, the mother, half the money back, her money. That's all we got back by that. How do you fucking have a place like this with fucking roaches? We lost all the food because nobody wow, I'm not taking that fucking food. Oh no. Threw all the garbage. All of it in the garbage. Fuck out of here.
SPEAKER_05That's just disgusting. He's gotta fire the exterminator because he's not doing a good job if there's still roaches hanging out around.
SPEAKER_06No, fuck that. So we spent the rest of the time at her son's house, which was uh it was pretty cool. And then we went to the game, and then uh we flew from Texas to Orlando. But what was cool, cool though, I can't talk, is that we kept taking Ubis everywhere. We're told to be one guy. But we have to go to the villagers. So I'm telling my how are we gonna do this? You know, maybe my mother could pick us up. I also thought my mother would pick us up in Orlando and just drive home from there.
unknownRight?
SPEAKER_06She's like, I ain't driving to Orlando, blah, blah, blah. So this guy goes, Listen, give me 50 bucks, I'll take you to the villages. Fuck you. I gave him 75. You know what I mean? Yeah. So we gave him, yeah, he picked us up the next morning, and we're all logged in, took us to my mother's house. And then from my mother's house, we spent the night, one night, and then we drove back home from there. And then I had 50 days of Monica, like all that. 50 days of Monica.
SPEAKER_0750 days of Monica. We had that's funny.
SPEAKER_06We so she she came, stayed for Thanksgiving, Christmas. We went to a Christmas show, which was nice in the city. But it was nice seeing my mother for all that time.
SPEAKER_07That was really well, that's when she was here.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_06She went to the rock and roll with us one day.
SPEAKER_07What a lovely lady.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06My mother. My mother. But but that was cool, man. That was a cool trip to Florida. Like I said, my favorite line, I got two favorite lines. Do you know what they are? In in in Disney World? Take a guess.
SPEAKER_05It's gotta be like Space Mountain or some shit like that. Well, okay, that would be the third one.
SPEAKER_07What is the one in the Tower of Terror?
SPEAKER_05Space Mountain.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05Tower of Terror. No, I ain't doing that shit.
SPEAKER_07No.
SPEAKER_06Um, I want the house. I love the one that's house. Oh, yeah. And and and and um Pirates of the Caribbean.
SPEAKER_05The Pirates of the Caribbean, yeah.
SPEAKER_06We went all the lives like that.
SPEAKER_07You gotta go to Halloween horror.
SPEAKER_06I would love to do that. That's a lot of fun.
SPEAKER_07Oh, so much fun.
SPEAKER_06Have you guys been to some really cool place? You guys don't with fucking sharks, right? Yes. Yes. Tell us about that.
SPEAKER_07Cageless. We went to Hawaii. I was trying to, um, in the beginning, I was trying to get Eric to swimming with the sharks, cageless, and he was like, oh hell no, I'm not doing that. Who the fuck? Who the fuck would be like, yeah!
SPEAKER_06Me! Yeah, you're crazy.
SPEAKER_05I said for real, I says, wait a second now. You just said cageless. Cageless. I could maybe see me doing something with a cage so they can't get at me. But you're telling me cageless?
SPEAKER_06When you put shark and cageless in the same sentence, you got a problem.
SPEAKER_05Exactly.
SPEAKER_07I'm telling you. So I'm like, Any psychiatrists are around.
SPEAKER_05I'm like, I don't think that's uh too smart to do it. Then I started thinking about it after a while. I said, you know what? If they st if they lost, if they lost somebody lost their leg, their arm, or their life, they wouldn't have a business.
SPEAKER_06Right, right. You know? But you gotta think about this though. All right, so you go in the water and there's sharks in the water, right? Yes. So, but what if another shark from let's just say uh another part of Hawaii uh just came wandering in? Hey. They do.
SPEAKER_07They do, because they throw something in the water to attract all the sharks that are in the room. What's keeping them from eating your ass?
SPEAKER_05Um I think it's like a shark's cove that they bring us to. And uh the outfit is named. If anybody wants to do it, when you're down in Hawaii, it's called One Ocean Dive. That's it. One and you're done. One and you're done. It's one ocean dive and uh amazing. Um they're they're they're great instructors.
SPEAKER_07It was just amazing.
SPEAKER_05They've got a lot of experience in diving. Fucking better.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, behind me by the guy. I'm telling you, no. Eric is there swimming, and you know, all the sharks are around, so the instructor tells him go all the way down. So he goes down. Do you have a tank on it? No, no, it's like a snorkeling thing. So Eric goes all the way down, and he's got like eight, nine sharks around him, and he looks like in the video that he's like, you know, three inches big, but because these sharks are like his size or like great white shares, were they?
SPEAKER_05Oh, not like great white sharks.
SPEAKER_07There was a tiger shark there. Yeah, tiger shark. I don't know, I don't know the names of the sharks, so I can't really Steve, Bob. Draws a minute. Now it was they were big. They were big. Yeah. They could have gone up to like 15 feet long, would you say?
SPEAKER_05Now, do you do you uh think differently now about going to the beach with sharks and well I think the type of sharks that we were kind of swimming around are not like super aggressive, right? You know, like we're not you know, great whites are very rare, we're not gonna swim with those. Target sharks are a little bit aggressive as well, but I think the sharks that we're saying, I'm not even exactly sure, but they're not as aggressive. Um, and um they were pretty, pretty damn far.
SPEAKER_07Some of them were coming up to the surface because they said don't touch them, but if they come up to you, push their nose away. Yeah, like stick your hand down. Stop their nose is coming at you.
SPEAKER_05Like, move their nose to the side away from you.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_06So I would be too busy moving my shit that I can shit my pants out of the way. They're moving their fucking nose. You kidding me? They tell you you have to do that?
SPEAKER_07Shit my pants? No, move a shark. Oh no, I didn't have to do it. But you know, they they also tell you don't um wear certain colors.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_07And I do have a video where she was taking, I think of Eric. Right. The instructor was taking it, and the shark comes and bumps right into her and then just goes away.
SPEAKER_06Really?
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it's really But you know what?
SPEAKER_06You hear so many stories about shark attacks. What's keeping these sharks from attacking you?
SPEAKER_07Like, I'm gonna be honest with you. Like, I was so excited to go swimming with the sharks, Cageless in Hawaii. And then my friend Tom here in New York, he's like, Come on, let's go water skiing. And I'm like, Oh, fuck no, no way. There's too many sharks in the water. He's like, Are you serious right now? I was like, Yeah, I don't trust these New York sharks. Nah. No way. But I did. You gotta look at the one. Okay, I went water tubing or something.
SPEAKER_06Do you ever have a bowl of like egg drop soup?
SPEAKER_07Yes.
SPEAKER_06You ever put the noodles in there?
SPEAKER_07No. Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_06Crunch up the noodles. Yeah, they crunch up the noodle. Yeah, you're a fucking noodle. Okay? And now the shark is like, whoo! You know. I don't know. I I probably eventually would do it, but I don't know how to be like, oh man, fuck you.
SPEAKER_07So there was this girl that got on the boat with you.
SPEAKER_05There was like 12 of us on the right? At least 12. And it came back at the end. At least 12.
SPEAKER_07No, but this one girl that was on our side of the boat. She was scared. Because she thought, I was like, don't worry about it. It's gonna be fine. We're all here with you. She thought she was going in a cage.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, she didn't know what she signed up for. When she got in the water, she's like, Where's the cage? Like, yeah. And she goes, Man, I I I I didn't read the description. I didn't know I was signing up for this. She's like talking the lady into the girl into the water. Come, don't worry about it. You could be alright. Trust me. They know what they're doing. So she got her to go in the water. And she was throwing her around. She's looking. She convinced her. Yeah, she convinced her to go in the water. I said, just come and I said it. She stayed very close and hold on to the boat. They have ropes going. Yeah, they have ropes going here and there.
SPEAKER_07I said to her, if you really feel that uncomfortable, just go back to the rope. Yeah. But at least she can say you tried, right?
SPEAKER_05I could select the video. So she said, Yeah, we're gonna get the video. It's something that you could look upon and people wouldn't even believe that you did it.
SPEAKER_06So I'm always joking around what chalks were doing.
SPEAKER_05The instruction, the instructor just points down. Right. And when you put when she points down, she's telling you to dive. Go go down. And you're you have snorkel equipment on. So you take a good big breath, shoot down. And she'll even push you. Right. To try to get you some momentum to go down further because you know your lungs fill up with oxygen and you start to become buoyant and go up. So I was able to get down at least 20 or 20 feet.
SPEAKER_07He did really good.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I got down by at least 20 feet from where the top of the ocean was, and she got some good shots of me. Yeah. Um, with sharks down.
SPEAKER_06I showed us something because you showed us that time at Don't Sales. But can you imagine the first person to do this? Like, go in there. Fuck you.
unknownYou go in.
SPEAKER_07You know what? Anyone out there, even you, Johnny, you want. She's got a Netflix thing out there called the Shark Whisperer. The shark whisperer? Yeah, she does. Yeah. She's she does swim with great whites.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god.
SPEAKER_07And it's like, she's like, they love her. And it's just like an amazing story.
SPEAKER_06Well, you know, I'm always kidding around with the one about sharks, and she's like, you're scared of sharks. We went to Italy, we went to Capri, I jumped in the water. Don't, don't, don't think for a second, that wasn't on my mind. So there's no sharks here, there's no sharks over there. How the fuck do you know? You think they call you? Oh, where are you, Bob? Well, I'm eating people on this side of it. You know, I'm not near that. I'll be right there. I just had lunch. Yeah, right. I don't smell no blood over there, so we're good. Yeah, I don't know. Now you guys drop out of planes too and shit?
SPEAKER_07Yes. Fucking great, Chris. That was uh that was absolutely amazing.
SPEAKER_06You know what's funny? Me and me and Bella, we have a page, a TikTok page, Instagram, called Bellum and Johnny's Adventures. All right?

SPEAKER_06Too fat.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, that's your excuse.
SPEAKER_06I'll do it on the beach. You know, I don't like to do it in the ocean, man. Like, they fucking land you in the middle of the fucking ocean. There's a shark there with a fucking bib on waiting for your ass.
SPEAKER_07A knife and fork in hand.
SPEAKER_06Come on. Over here.
SPEAKER_07Over here. That's funny. Fuck that, man.
SPEAKER_06I gotta tell you my shark story though. I just told this the other day on the air. I'll tell it again. I tell it all the time. One of my favorite stories. We're in Daytona. I'm in Daytona about maybe four years ago. And there's a restaurant called Edith Joe's Crab Shack.
SPEAKER_10Yes.
SPEAKER_06Okay? Now, it's on a pier that goes out in the water, okay? And in the middle of the pier, it's the restaurant. So literally the restaurant's actually in the ocean. And then after the restaurant, there's more pier. Like another hundred feet you go out, you know. Right. Like a deck. Right, right. But not a deck, it's a pier. So you're on the pier, and you come up to the restaurant, you walk out about a hundred feet into the water, you're into the restaurant now, and then you go through the restaurant out the back again. So one day I'm there, and I'm waiting for somebody, waiting for Scott Larry. So I'm having a drink, and I see people looking. What the fuck, right? I see this guy, he's out there. He's past the pier. He's out there. And he's waving his arms, right? And nobody can help him because I'm jumping in that fucking water. Fuck this. You're gonna die. You're gonna die, motherfucker. Sorry. You're gonna die. So what happens is we see the lifeguard swimming out. Okay, lifeguards coming for the guy, you know? I see a fin. Holy fuck. I see a fucking fin. So what would you do? I got my camera out, right? When's the last time you seen somebody eaten by a shark? So I'm everybody was like this. Everybody got their phones. We're waiting for this guy to get eaten. You know what I mean? It was a fucking dolphin. What is it? Dolphin? We all put our phones down and like fucking pissed off and just walked away. You know what I mean? Thanks a lot, asshole. Exactly.
SPEAKER_05We swam with the dolphins.
SPEAKER_07We swam with dolphins. I would do that. I would probably swim with the dolphins. That was really cool.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that was really cool. They even like pushed you along on the bottom of your feet. They lift you up out of the water and tell you to spread your arms out. Right. So you have your feet together. Right. And then the dolphins with the command, they hit the back of your the the your the ball the balls of your feet. Right. And just keep on pushing you until you come up and out of the water. That's fucking cool.
SPEAKER_07I'm tired. You know, one time I was in.
SPEAKER_06You're like skiing with your body, you know, up and out. That's awesome. I was in St. Thomas one time, right? And uh they had this like hunting for rum. They had this rum and they hit it in the water. You had a snorkle for the rum, right? So I'm in the water and I find a bottle of rum and I come up a fucking barracuda. I mean, he had to be three feet long with his German shepherd teeth, right? Going right by my fucking head. I'm like, I'm getting the fuck out of here. Fuck this. Oh my god. I guess he wasn't hungry. Yeah, thank God he wasn't hungry. So let's jam some tunes real quick. We'll come back and wrap this shit up. What do you say?

SPEAKER_06Yeah. Do you prefer a vacation where it's all inclusive like? Or do you like uh going to a place where you stay in a hotel but you go out to the restaurants and the bars, whatever?
SPEAKER_07I like both. Like when we go to the Caribbean, we stay at all inclusive.
SPEAKER_06Okay.
SPEAKER_07When we went to Europe, we went to whatever restaurant we wanted.

I've been learning just the culture, it's just amazing. What we do now is we watch like on a Saturday on a rainy day. We got YouTube on all about Italy, places to go in Italy, you know? I want to go with Pompeii where the volcano went off and the bodies are still there.
SPEAKER_07We did that shit. We went to Costa Rica and I said to Eric, here I go again with my bright ideas, right? I said to him, Eric, I said, let's go to Nicaragua. There's a volcano there that's active. I want to go see it. Let's go. Wow. He's like, I'm not going to fucking Nicaragua to get killed. And I'm like, come on, we got you don't want to go. You can stay here. I'm going. So, long story short, we went, we saw the volcano. And we like stuck out our head in it. We saw all the lava. It was like so great. Hello, Donna. Hello, hello, hello.
SPEAKER_06I'm gonna we're going to Colombia actually. My son's gonna get married in Colombia. His fiance is Colombian. The whole family lives there except for like a mother father here. So he decided they're gonna get married in Colombia. So I'm like, you know what? The coffee just keeps getting better.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god, I think I'm going to Colombia. When when do they get married?
SPEAKER_06I think in 27 or 28.
SPEAKER_07Can I come? Absolutely. Thank you.
SPEAKER_06You're welcome. You come. But you know, I I'm a big coffee guy. Like when I went to Italy. Now they have these truck stops, okay? You know, like if you go down 95, they're the truck stops, the rest areas. These in Italy, okay? You pull in there, and in the coffee bars, okay? They have salami cheese. They have five-star fucking restaurants in these places.
SPEAKER_07What do they call it? The chichuri board. They got chichuri boards.
SPEAKER_06Oh chicurie, chicur.
SPEAKER_05It's a tiny bit.
SPEAKER_06Let's just say sausage and peppermint.
SPEAKER_07I just like chichuries, and everybody knows what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_06But you can get anything you want. Anything. You can get a meal, sandwiches, and they got the coffee bar with a lavaza. Have you had a lavaza? Yes. Yes. The best coffee in the entire world. Now I get the pods in LaVaza. I love it. Till last night, me and my son, I took them to Vincent's Clam House.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_06You ever go to Vincent's car place? Yeah. They got the machines, all the Vaza, the whole dang La Vaza. This coffee was a I almost masturbated right there in the restaurant. I swear to God. That's how good it was.
SPEAKER_07That's how they get their Alfredo sauce.
SPEAKER_06Exactly. It's a hair in my sauce. It's natural, sir. But Vincent's Clam House is the best Italian restaurant. My personal opinion. Vincent's or King Lomburdo's in Omar.
SPEAKER_07Vincent's is very good, King's Alfredo's is good.
SPEAKER_06But you never had sauce. You eat sauce in Italy, I'm gonna tell you. It's different. I'm a 57-year-old fat guy, alright? I've eaten sauce my whole life. I've never tasted sauce like this in my life in Italy. Never. It was just something. You would love it because you love pasta. It's just something in the pasta. And you eat as much as you want, you know, any fat. They don't put any of the chemicals that we have. You know, when we came back from Italy, Bella couldn't eat for three days. She couldn't eat. We go to dinner, she couldn't want nothing. So all it tastes is chemicals, she said. Everything is natural now in Italy.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah. All of Europe, really.
SPEAKER_06All of Europe. Yeah. But Italy just is Italy, you know. Good stuff.
SPEAKER_05They don't they they're the government doesn't allow any of the the uh GMOs into any of the genetically modified foods. No, they don't here they're allowed all over, and that's why a lot of people get sick here. Well, they don't get sick.
SPEAKER_06That's why their health is free there. They have free healthcare. Yes. Because you know, no one's getting sick. That's why they want you to pay for it here, because we're getting sick with the fucking food. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_07Everything gets you sick here.
SPEAKER_06But you guys gotta go to Italy. We went to Sir Sorento. Oh my god. Vervello, forget about gorgeous. We went, you know here, Padre Pio?
SPEAKER_08No.
SPEAKER_06Have you never heard of him? He had the um he had the the marks in his hand, the holes in his hand and feet like Jesus. It just came, it's uh what's it called, stigmata? Right? He was a priest, and all of a sudden he started getting his his hands started hurting, and he had holes. Both of his hands and his feet, just like Jesus.
SPEAKER_10Really?
SPEAKER_06He would bleed. So back in 1986, my father went to Italy to visit Padre Pio because his father had cancer to help him pray to cure the cancer. And what happened was he met him, and like two months later he came home, and the father was saying that Padre Pio was in my bedroom. When Padre P. was in your bedroom, he was here. How is he here? Back in New York. And he had blood on his pajamas, and no one knew where it came from. Not a mark on his body, but he had blood on his pajamas. So one of the things that me and Dorn had to do, because when Dorn had the breast cancer, people sent her prayers from Padre Pio because he was a healer. He was a healer. So all the prayers she got on the three times he got breast cancer, Padre Pio prayers. So for both of us, it was important for us to drive about three hours out of our way. Wow. Just to go see him. Because his body's still there. His body's in a glass case. He'd been dead since 1968. So he got his body laid out. So you go over there and you pray to him. You know what I mean? So that was very important for us to do, which was awesome. You know what I mean? Plus, we were at the Vatican for the Jubilee. Have you heard of Jubilee?
SPEAKER_07No? Yeah, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_06It's a special time for in the Catholic religion at the at the Vatican that they have these doors, they call them the holy doors. It's the original doors of the Vatican. That they only open them once every 25 years. So for that whole year, the doors are open, you can walk through them. Any time else can only go up and touch them, that's it. We got to walk through them, me and Don.
SPEAKER_07Because you got there on the 25th year.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, the 25th year. And they're saying once you walk through them, if you believe, all your sins are are forgiven. Like it's like starting over again. Walking through the door. So I walked through about three times just in case. Turn around, go back, you know. But it was one. Like I said, this trip was so magical for us, it was incredible.
SPEAKER_07I know, you couldn't stop talking about it.
SPEAKER_06I still can't stop talking about it. I know. I think about Italy every day. Venice? Let me tell you something about Venice, okay? Yeah, it's beautiful there, okay? You ever see those bridges they have? Eight up, eight down, eight up, eight down. And you got your luggage with you to get your hotel. Eight up, eight down. Yeah. And on Bella Pax. We had eight bags with us. Eight. Four suitcases, four carry-ons. Did we get to Venice? That's crazy. Up eight, down eight, up eight. I had the radio show with me too. We did radio from that.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_06So none of this stuff comes with me. This is my studio.
SPEAKER_07You know what Eric does?
SPEAKER_06What?
SPEAKER_07He doesn't even pack. There you go. Wait. He takes his suitcase, he opens it, he opens his drawer, takes everything out of the drawer, puts it in the suitcase. I love that okay. Perfect. Yeah, you know what? And I'm like, you gotta be fucking kidding me right now.
SPEAKER_06Did me compare underwear? Got my whole my whole wardrobe there. Yeah, he does. If you're there, if you're going away for two weeks, you take seven pairs underway, you turn them inside out. That's all. Socks, turn them inside out.
SPEAKER_07I said to him, Eric, what the hell are you doing? He goes, Well, I don't know what I'm gonna wear. I don't know what I want to wear on a certain day.
SPEAKER_06That's the way it was with us. We brought so many clothes with us.
SPEAKER_07He takes everything.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. We bought so many clothes.
SPEAKER_07I can take a knapsack.
SPEAKER_06You gotta bring a fag bag, they call it. A lot of big pickpockets down there.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah. You gotta watch down there there. They do things like they'll set up um a game in the street. Hey, you know, guess where the ball is, you know, in the car?

You go up the escalator. All right in front of you. Cheese, salami, whatever you want. Pasta, anything you want right there.
SPEAKER_07They're gonna fatten your ass up before the airport.
SPEAKER_06So we were eating like king and queen on the plane coming back. I had salami and cheese, you know, cutting it up on the plane. That was awesome. That was incredible, man. But that was the trip that I will never forget. And I'm looking forward to going back. Going back. Good for you. Gotta go back.
SPEAKER_10Good for you.
SPEAKER_06You know, I got a jar, right? That every day I put something in there. I don't care if it's a 50 or 100 or 20 or 5. Something was in that jar every day. It was supposed to go back in 27. So next year. I want to have at least 15,000. We paid about 16,000 for this trip. All together, flight and car. We had a really awesome car, too.
SPEAKER_07How long did you go for?
SPEAKER_06Three weeks. Three weeks. And we're gone.
SPEAKER_07Oh my god. Yeah. Oh my goodness.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Three weeks. It was incredible. From June into July. I can't believe that was nine months ago. I feel like it just happened. Like I can still remember every day. And the pizza? Don't even get me fucking started with the pizza. Like you've never had it in your life. I'm not kidding.
SPEAKER_07I you know, a lot of people say it's very good, but then you have those other people that say New York pizza is better.
SPEAKER_06No, fuck crazy. It's funny, we were we were in uh Capri and they were telling us, you know, it's the only thing that we really did that, like kind of like a tour. We're on a boat that took us over, went to the Blue Grotto, which you go under the rock, right? And they're like, all right, we'll come over here. You got shopping over there, you got a good pizza beer over there. I'm like, yeah, I'll be a judge. I'm from the Wait a minute, this is Italy. You're right, you gotta go pizza beer over there. Like, yeah. But yeah, you gotta do Italy, you gotta get there.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I will.

SPEAKER_07Yes, we did. It was a great evening. Thank you for having us.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for coming in. And uh, you know, in Italy they got these Italian sharks. So they come at you like, ah, Fogulio! They eat you right there, done.
SPEAKER_07Nice. They'll fuck around.
SPEAKER_06You see the uh you watching it. They like eating meatballs. Yeah, that's right. They're all a bunch of meatballs. You would think New York Italians in Italy are different, okay? Oh yeah. Like you would think down there, you don't get chicken color parmesan. That's like unheard of. Okay? It was very hard to find that, actually. Finding chicken alone was pretty hard. All the restaurants, they hardly had polo, they call it.
SPEAKER_07Pollo?
SPEAKER_06And like you think like you would eat a little Italy. What do you do when you go to the feast? What I do, I get a fucking sauce and pepper hero, right? Not down there, they don't have that shit. They don't did not what they do. Spaghetti and meatballs is spaghetti and then meatballs. Separately, not in the same dish.
SPEAKER_07Not in the same dish.
SPEAKER_06It's different, you know? The gelato, I'll be honest with you, the gelato, I almost masturbated twice. But I'm gonna tell you, most incredible thing you've ever.
SPEAKER_07We brought some back to the hotel room.
SPEAKER_06We did. No. But I will say, in New York, Uncle Giuseppe's, their gelato, it's very close to the Italy one. We came back and ate, oh shit, this is good. So the food down there and the coffee, La Vaza, is just incredible. And you can get it, but it's weird, though. Like you get a coffee in the afternoon, they look at you like, now? You don't get this now. It's a morning thing. You know what I mean? So iced coffee, forget about it. You're not getting iced coffee. Literally, ice? Just put some ice in the coffee. No. They'll fucking shoot you. The fuck is that all about? But yeah. So you guys gotta do it, Italy. You gotta do it.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Maybe you guys come with us.
SPEAKER_07Next year, yeah, I would love it.
SPEAKER_06We're going, we're going. I I said we were saying we have a week in in an island called uh Ponzo, right? But then Dawn has like family in a town called Calvici. Okay. Now that's like a medieval town. Like this, we stayed in this place where you know you're the cobblestone, and you walk through the alleyways and all the houses look forget. Like, well, you know, really like back in the the old days, you know what I'm saying? And it was kind of scary at night, you know what I mean? So, and they charged us$50 a night for that place. That was it. Wow. So you spent a week in the uh Panza, a week in Calarici, and maybe you take a week and go back to Rome or something, and you're gonna get a nice trip for like fucking five grand.
SPEAKER_07See, I only get like two weeks' vacation. That's what sucks.
SPEAKER_06See, I'm supposed to get like I don't even know how many weeks I'm supposed to get, but I take off a lot. My brother doesn't like it. My brother, me and my brother were together. You know, you're going away again, again. I told Dawn, you realize that we went away five times in the last four months? That you know, we went to Texas, Florida, Italy. We went on a cruise before that, right? And then back to Texas in Florida, and then now we're back to Florida. I was like, in a four-month span.
