Speaker 6 (03:18):
Goodbye, lady.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
So there you go. I don't know if you knew
who Uncle Johnny was, but Uncle Johnny was a very
very important part of our family and our show for
many years, and of course he passed away, but legends
never die. He is lingering on.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
I was thinking this morning that we were going to
do this show celebrating his life, and how excited he
would be that we were going to talk about him
so much, so happy.

Speaker 16 (03:47):
He loves this.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
He loves attention, and you know what I'm loving. It's
very fitting. We have the whole family here today. Yeah,
we have h Well, Froggy was Froggy's button. Hi, Froggy,
good morning, there you are? Is this crazy? You brought
your son kayten home to New York so he could
live here for a little while. Exactly and it's just
timing is crazy. It is. Yeah, well, good morning, good morning,

(04:12):
thanks for being here. We have to play he like
Khaliki maka at some point, Danielle, how are you feeling good?

Speaker 8 (04:19):
I mean, you know, motions are all over the place.
Like I was, like, you're sad, but then you think
he's in a better place, and then you just start
reminiscing and telling funny stories. And we were all sending
each other like memes and different pictures of Johnny over
the weekend, and we were giggling and laughing. So it's
like it's everything. It's just everything.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I wish you were with Alex and me. Last night
we were watching a video of him actually picking up
a dollar bill with his bare butt. All right, I'll
play that video for you, Hey, Gandhi, Hell, what do
you think it?

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Man?

Speaker 17 (04:51):
I didn't know somebody making me laugh so hard would
actually make me sad cry when I thought about some
of the stuff that we were all talking about this morning.
People ask about you know what, it's your favorite memory
of Uncle Johnny and you can't share any of them publicly,
but in the room you can't.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
I know, Hey, Nate, straight, Nate, Yeah, I was really
keeping it together till you played that damn soul.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Now it's I'll be okay in a few minutes. So Nate,
you know, as you know, as executive producer, has to
like run the show in the background, and running the
show with Johnny in the room is impossible. But as
I said so many times, there was never ever a
middlesecond of sanity if Uncle Johnny is in the mix right.
He didn't know how to use the microphone, he didn't

(05:37):
know what headphones did.

Speaker 12 (05:39):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
He just never took direction. But my god, was it.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Remember remember when we were doing during COVID and we
were all on zoom.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yes, john was trying to figure out the top of
his head. That was the day.

Speaker 18 (05:55):
But I realized that I have way more patience than
I give myself credit for, because I could not get
in him, and I was determined to get him on
that damn zoom and we finally did.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Well, it was five minutes. We have that. We'll play it.
We'll play it a little bit.

Speaker 19 (06:09):
As sad as it is that Uncle Johnny passed, it
is so hard for me to cry because every time
I think of him, he puts a smile on my face. Laughter,
and I know up there somewhere he is mixing blender
drinks and that blender is spilling over, and he's telling jokes.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
And he's telling jokes and he's entertaining. Hey, Scotty b Hi,
you loved Uncle john I did you know?

Speaker 20 (06:31):
I was just smiling ear to ear all week and
looking at pictures because when he used to be making
his drinks in there, usually someone and I would be
in here taking pictures of him doing funny things. So
we were just looking at those pictures all week and long,
and I was like, I cannot believe this guy, but
it was. He was such a fun, fun person, and
I'm so happy that I got to meet him. Thanks
to you, Samantha, We're gonna have a lot of sound

(06:52):

Speaker 4 (06:55):

it's gonna be in quite a day, it will be.
We're gonna have fun, Okay, yeah we will, absolutely we will,
as we always did with Johnny around. So sam thanks

lot of it, right, he made.

material this guy delivered us.

I did not meet him, but he was on the
show and it was around Valentine's Day and he was
making a drink called the Chocolate Kiss and it has
just been a staple in my home and it is
just such a great memory of him. We actually went
to Aruba and when we were at the Pooh Bar,
we had them making the chocolate kits in the morning

(08:23):
and it was just fantastic. So it's just like a
lovely drink. And I always think of Uncle Johnny when
when we make that.

and pantanning bad jokes.

We're just talking about all the stupid crab that happened.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
What is Scotty Bee's favorite things? And Nate was just
talking about this uncle Johnny. He get this blender so
he could make blender drinks, right, and he would forget
to put the top on. It would like blast and
hit the ceiling.

Speaker 18 (11:07):
And but we're like Johnny, for health reasons, you need
to put on gloves because he's handling ice.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
And he's like so he would, right, Scottie, you would
watch him.

Speaker 18 (11:24):
What would he do he was making blender drinks and
you put the gloves on, and what would happen?

Speaker 20 (11:28):
Well, I mean he would rub his nose or wipe
his nose with the glove on, but then still take
the ice with the glove.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
We would all text each other, don't drink, don't drink.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Do you want to drink?

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I'm like, no, no, I'm not drinking.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
That I don't saying no one's drinking, like I said, well,
and you just don't want to say anything.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
It was just too funny. What's up?

Speaker 6 (11:52):
You remember the time he wore the gloves that he
had to go to the bathroom and he wore the
gloves to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
And came back with him one gloves. I was very
clean in the bathroom gloves.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
He would give it a proctology exam.

Speaker 18 (12:11):
Sam and I were just talking to the more you
said something to him, he would get offended, like there's
nothing wrong. He wipe his nose, make a drink, and
when you say something, he'd get upset.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
My hands are clean.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
I'd be making drinks longer than you've been alive. I'm like, well,
we want to continue living.

Speaker 8 (12:28):
Johnny sometimes he would like he would like, give me
like extra cherries, and because he knew I like the
sweet stuff, and I would eat it. I didn't even
think twice about it, but look knows what I ingested.

Speaker 4 (12:40):

Alex and all of Johnny's friends. We want to thank
everyone for the outpouring of incredible positivity and memories. I mean,
the post are coming in at such a rapid rate.

(13:13):
I mean tens of thousands of them talking about how
much Uncle Johnny was loved and how much they loved.

Speaker 18 (13:19):
Listening to us here. Too often we don't tell people
how much we love them while they're here. I will
say that Uncle Johnny knew he was loved. Oh absolutely,
He absolutely positively knew how much each and every one
of us and so many people just absolutely adored and
loved him.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
If you ever said I love you, he would go, well,
I love you more.

Speaker 17 (13:39):
He was like a character, not even real.

Speaker 16 (13:41):
The day that I met all.

Speaker 17 (13:42):
Of you guys, he was in studio because it was
a Saint Patrick stage show, and he was making drinks
and I thought, oh, I wonder what he's like off
the air and the mic shut off and it was
more intense. This is amazing.

Speaker 16 (13:53):
This is the place I'd like to be.

Speaker 4 (13:55):

the way, if you're just here for the first time,
if you reaf familiar with Uncle Johnny. He did pass away.
He passed away Friday morning, seven twenty five. I saw
him the day before and the last words he uttered
to me, I may save this. I don't know. I'll

(14:16):
tell you later. It was pretty interesting, but I will
tell you The people that took care of him during
his last days were angels, especially his caregiver Eduardo, who
was actually not only with him at his apartment before
he had to go to the hospital, but also he
would come to the hospital and sit with him. Eduardo
is a saint and is a saint. And then his

(14:38):
friends who actually brought martinis aw to the bed and
he was having cosmos and cocktails.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
He was going the way he wanted.

me out of my apartment in a my teeny glass.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
So a lot of memories from Uncle Johnny. You're gonna
hear a lot of sound from his moments on our show.
If you didn't know Uncle Johnny, I'll tell you who
was Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
He was.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
A man with the biggest brightest heart in the world.
He loved everyone he loved. He wouldn't remember your name.
He'd call you sweetie, Honnie. That means he didn't know
your name. But he was just incredible. But being best

(17:52):
friends with him as Alex and I were, and many
people were his best friends as well, nuts it does.
He would drive you nuts.

Speaker 17 (18:01):
Watching him drive you nuts made me so happy.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
I know people loved watching me lose it.

Speaker 8 (18:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (18:08):
And he could push your buttons he knew exactly which
he never tried to push buttons.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
It was just natural.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
It just happened.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
But I tell you no one, I don't think I've
ever felt as much love from a single human being
ever more than Uncle Johnny. Truly what a what a guy.
And you know, someone asked me earlier, Jim kurtr He's like,
how did this guy end up on your show? I said,
how could he not have a show? Uncle Johnny was

(18:37):
a walking talking show.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
He had a booking. I wish he wrote a book
before because he had a book in him. Boy, the
stories that would just come out of him. We were like,
what you did?

Speaker 12 (18:47):
What with?

Speaker 23 (18:48):
Who?

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Was insane? Just nothing but insanity? And now you keep
using that word over and over, because it really does
describe a moment with him was nothing but pure insanity.
But what a lovely, lovely guy. He loved living, he
loved interacting with people. He loved being in the spotlight.
Oh yeah, and this is what this show did. I did.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
He loved it, and he always said I did. I
became famous for doing nothing, telling bad jokes and making cocktails,
right frog, That's exactly.

Speaker 18 (19:23):
Being around him was always fun because you'd go somewhere
and it didn't matter if you were in New York City,
it didn't matter if you were in Miami, it didn't
matter if we were in Iowa or in your case,
when you guys were in out of the country in
Turks and Caicos. He would walk up to somebody and
within twenty seconds of the conversation he would tell them,
do you know who?

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Do you know who I am? I'm uncle Johnny for the.

Speaker 18 (19:47):
Elvis, he would tell him, Johnny, do not tell anybody
in here who we are. Just let's just go in here,
do what we gotta do and leave it. Sure Enough,
in ten seconds, they knew who everybody was. Cape Town,
South Africa, were in a bar. He looks to his
right to this woman sitting next to him. Do you
know who I am, Uncle Johnny? And she looks at him. Okay,

(20:09):
I'm on Z one hundred. Listened to Z one hundred,
Imo Johnny. They don't get ZE one hundred down here.
I mean we matter to him though we have a
big transmitter, not that big. But that was Johnny. Ye anyway,

do we have here.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh so, by the way, people are asking, well, how
were his last months and years?

Speaker 6 (20:32):
And I'll tell you.

the top of the hour, when we get back together,

reason behind it. Yeah, tell you what though, he went

Start. But Johnny just shout at himself. He got so mad.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
He got so mad.

Speaker 17 (22:26):
Was it coming out the top or his ankle?

Speaker 23 (22:28):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (22:30):
He was wearing white linen pans, and it.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Was I think Uncle Johnny's dodging my call. I've tried
three times and there you go. Uncle Johnny started?

Speaker 6 (22:44):
What is this one?

Speaker 4 (22:45):
But you know, he was also very famous for telling
bad jokes. I want to hear his voice. Did you
have this hospital visit?

Speaker 17 (22:51):
Those are my favorite?

Speaker 7 (22:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Okay, hold on, we have a list.

Speaker 17 (22:56):
Him trying to read the jokes that were handed to
him was probably the best ever.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
It worked.

Speaker 17 (23:02):
I never practiced, it never got it right.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Let me see what this one is. We went to
see Uncle Johnny. We were in bedside and we're like, hey, Johnny,
what do you think about this thing that's beeping up here?
I don't know. They pushed the button and heshed the button,
and the later come in, Yes, Johnny, as if you
must have pushed that button like every once every five,
pushing all buttons.

Speaker 23 (23:20):
I was.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
I was trying to I learned how to be a doctor.
And they said he had this censer on his left arm,
and he had to keep his arm straight at all
times and if he bent his arm, it would beep.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
So they said, Uncle Johnny, you have to keep your
arm straight, and I said, that's the only thing on
my body that's straight. Everything else is gay.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Where he is, right, what are you laughing at?

Speaker 8 (23:48):
He's so funny. I just think, like, you know, I
haven't not only got another angel, but they got this
guy that's gonna crack everybody up. They're gonna have bodies
now up there with your.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Dad, right, I forget it.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
I always think as my dad loves everyone on this show,
and I can imagine him seeing Johnny for the first time,
being like.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Dude, what do you do anything?

Speaker 8 (24:10):
I'm so excited to see him. Welcome him up there
making Martini.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
He's a he's cracking him up, all right? One one
more piece from Uncle Johnny. So Daniel, for some reason,
Daniel and Gandhi keep pushing this Cosmo article on me.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
Let me get it.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
It's about it's about the theory of blue ball, right.

Speaker 16 (24:27):
It seems like it's real.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
This term first originated in the United States in nineteen sixteen.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Well, Johnny, so.

Speaker 18 (24:33):
If it's been around since nineteen sixteen, Then that crap's real, Johnny.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
You should know you were in or you were around
in nineteen sixteen, weren't you. Yes, Dan, I would blow down.
Oh god, now they're black and yeah, well now they're
down by my knees.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Oh god, this is just way too much.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
As says, all right, well, oh my god, let's do
something about that. Johnny and I'm.

Speaker 17 (24:55):
Talking about I don't even know how deep we can
get into it, but the broccoli and the rubber band
decided to do it.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
We were talking about it last night. Yes, do we
have that? Let me look for it.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
He had so many questions was inside his body?

Speaker 4 (25:10):
He couldn't get it to come out, So in order
to keep it out, he used one of those rubber
bands that you find on broccoli.

Speaker 17 (25:16):
Yeah yeah, he said specifically the broccoli because it was
a thick, strong rubber band.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
He was for real.

Speaker 17 (25:25):
I was so worried about him when we found that out.
I was like, how long do you leave it on?
What is going on?

Speaker 4 (25:29):
We need we need some.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
Froggy.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
I mean, how much fun did you have doing that
song with him? I mean seriously, seriously, and how long
did it take to get it.

Speaker 18 (25:39):
I'll tell you I had. I had never heard me
prior to us being handed that song together, and we
had so much fun. That is a moment that day.
I'll never forget recording it. That day we did the
video together, like I'll I'll cherish that moment for the
rest of my life. I loved doing it with him.
It was awesome. I've never met anybody like him my

Show, Hey, I got a question from Mackenzie. Hi, Mackenzie,
what's going on?

Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm good?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
How are you?

Speaker 4 (29:14):
We're doing well. You have a question about Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (29:18):
So for the past however many years have been listening
to your show, I've been convinced that Uncle Johnny isn't real.

Speaker 27 (29:24):
I thought it was Elvis putting out a voice. So
his Uncle Johnny real.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Yes, it's me, but he does that. He tries to
make fun of me. I do, but I'm real. I'm Reelle.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
There is a difference between my Uncle Johnny impersonation and
then your Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 6 (29:39):
And what I do is I to walk like am
like this, I don't talk like that. He's old, and
he's gay, and he wears a twope frighteningly real.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Yes, Mackenzie, I am real.

Speaker 23 (29:54):
Well that's great, Thanks so much.

Speaker 27 (29:56):
It's nice to talk to you guys.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Thank you. I can't believe he people really think that
Uncle Johnny and I are the same person. They think
I'm doing a voice like.

Speaker 17 (30:06):
No, it's so close.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I'm much cuta, I'm back to CUTA.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
I have pictures of him, like we have posted picture
if if.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
You can get it up, you can have it. It's yours.
There are times you guys talk over each other on
the air. It's that's right impossible. Okay, let's both say Hi,
I'm Uncle Johnny's the same time. Ready, one, two, three, Hi,
I'm Uncle Johnny. Un joyes I am. You have to
say it at the same time. Hi, Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 13 (30:32):
That was close.

Speaker 17 (30:33):
We do so very very close.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
So we say goodbye. We say goodbye to our uncle Johnny.
Legends never die. He will linger forever anyway. So that's
what today's shows about. And thank you so much. If
you don't know who Uncle Johnny is, you will before
the end of the show. We will force you to
get to know this guy. Let's go around the room.
I'm gonna see what's on your mind, Danielle, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (30:58):
So we're telling our favorite Uncle john stories. And I
remember being a universal Orlando and I was sitting with
you and Uncle Johnny and we were drinking at a
hotel and he took his two pey off, which he
did a lot, and he put it on my head
and I just remember sitting there with his tupe on
my head and the three of us cracking up over nothing,

(31:20):
absolutely nothing, but just having the best time. And that's
what Uncle Johnny was all about, having fun, making every
moment count and enjoying your life. And honestly, I feel
like that's what I've learned most from him, that you
know what, don't take crap for granted, don't sweat the
small stuff, really try not to just have fun and
enjoy what you have.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Amen, that was him. Yep, that was Uncle Johnny on
a cracker. Hey, GANI what's oh man?

Speaker 23 (31:47):
Okay?

Speaker 17 (31:47):
So I was trying to think of my favorite Uncle
Johnny memory that I could share because there are so
many that we can't. And there was one specific boozy
brunch that you, Alex He and I did in about
twenty minutes into the lunch, his teeth were out and
sitting in a champagne glass bubbling, and Elvis got so irritated.

(32:07):
He was like, Johnny, put.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
Those teeth backing around.

Speaker 17 (32:10):
We are in any public what are you doing? And
the rest of that day went pretty much exactly like that,
And I realized today Uncle Johnny is the only person
who uses the word love and it doesn't bother.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Me when he said it. I hate that word.

Speaker 17 (32:23):
I hate it so much. But he told the funniest
stories about his lover, so it was great.

Speaker 12 (32:27):
I know.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
There were times when Uncle Johnny would introduce us, Alex
and me to his friends and is his my good
friend and nephew Alex and his lever Elvis, I'm like
his lover. Wow, it's giving me a lot of credit. Uh,
what's up there, sketty.

Speaker 19 (32:47):
I also love the way Uncle Johnny could take a
joke too, because you have to be that kind of person,
especially when it came to your husband Alex.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Elvis.

Speaker 19 (32:55):
He used to play all the jokes on Johnny used
to like steal his wig, you know, and he always
used to far ways to just like kind of get
over on him and Johnny always was smiling, always happy,
and always was a good sport about everything. And it's
important because that's the complete character right there.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Amen. Absolutely we abused him pretty much.

Speaker 17 (33:16):
He always claimed Elda abuse.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Abuse and I've seen a citizen.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
No, it's not.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
What's up, Nate?

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
My One of my favorite things was Uncle Johnny during
an interview, because he would sit in the studio as
we were interviewing seven, where I.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
Was like, oh, God, what's he gonna do?

Speaker 4 (33:33):
So Elvis, uh, you and God to pretend you're interviewing
Miley Cyrus right now, and I'll do my Uncle Johnny impression. Ready, Okay,
so Miley you, how's your new album?

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Hey?

Speaker 28 (33:42):
Al?

Speaker 6 (33:46):
And then and then you would angrily yes Johnny. And
then John Man, I saw you backstage a jingle ball
you are fabulary And then and then you would just
do this pausing up.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
Thanks Johnny. He would talk off microphone. Johnny, go to
a microphone. By the way, interesting text, you guys are
making it seem like Uncle Johnny is dying. Sins this text, Well, uh,

(34:19):
he died. This is to be the bearer of bad news.
He passed away.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
I know, but you know what We've been kind of
swimming in the loss of Uncle Johnny for several days.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, you keep forgetting that. Well, not everyone knows he did.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
He passed away Friday.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Uh, we have Froggy. Hey, Froggy, what's up with you?
I had he turn his microphone on. I don't know
how to do this.

Speaker 25 (34:43):
That one.

Speaker 7 (34:44):
There you go.

Speaker 18 (34:45):
You know, we are talking about Johnny and what a
profound effect he had on all of our lives. And
he did listeners ourselves, anybody that came in touch with him.
He definitely left you feeling different. He left every room
brighter than the one that he the one he walked into. However,
I want to shine the spotlight on you, Elvis, because
I don't know if you know this. Anybody who would

(35:06):
listen to Johnny, he would tell them how you saved
his life and you changed his life when you met him.
I didn't know Johnny obviously prior to him joining our show.
But Johnny said that he had gotten life, had gotten
really mundane, and he really wasn't enjoying.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Life to the fullest.

Speaker 18 (35:21):
But yet our show gave him a whole second run,
a second go around that he loved so much and enjoyed,
and to see the joy on his face that you
brought to him, and the places that you took him
around the world and showed him places that he never
would have been able to go. I hope that you
take some personal comfort inside of knowing that you changed

(35:42):
his life. Well, thank you, you really did, and you
brought him to us. Without you, we don't know Johnny,
none of us do without and I give all credit
to Alex. Actually, Alex, I said this the other day.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
The best gift Alex ever gave me, and I guess
all of us, was the gift of meeting Uncle Johnny
was sometimes a curse.

Speaker 18 (36:06):
Something else. Here would be another one. They say, there's
two of all of us on this planet. There is
no way, and with.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
All due respect, I don't want another. I think our
our Uncle Johnny's plenty and he will live on forever
and ever. Hi Michelle, Hello, We met you at a
book signing on Staten Island, didn't we? Yes, we did,
and you had Uncle Johnny there too, Remember that I did.

Speaker 27 (36:34):
I did.

Speaker 26 (36:35):
We We were eating dinner beforehand and Tommy's taverns happened.
Me and my two girlfriends saw him. We were like, oh,
my god, he's uncle Johnny.

Speaker 27 (36:43):
What should we do? What should we do?

Speaker 26 (36:45):
And we like we spent like way too long discussing
what we should do and say, and then we ended
up just going up to him and be like, hello lady.
And then he like talked to us and he was
so excited to talk to us, and it was like
such a we were so good glad. We ended up
just going up to him because he was so kind
to us.

Speaker 27 (37:04):
He was asking us about, you know, what we do,
what we were there for. We told him we were
going to see you, and he was just so.

Speaker 26 (37:12):
Kind and you know, he made us laugh and of
course he was thanking us for being teachers. And he
was just such a kind soul. So I was I'm
like so sad about this, but loving, like I'm loving
hearing all these you know, stories and.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Memories is so sweet and it's our pleasure to be
able to tell these stories. And you know what, Johnny
loved nothing more than people knowing he was Uncle john Yeah.

Speaker 8 (37:37):
Yeah, his huge hello lady change would like you.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
Know, the hello Lady jewelry and he had the whole
lady shirt. He's like they knew who I was. I said, well,
because you got.

Speaker 17 (37:49):
And I love that he'd that change to like twenty people. Yeah,
he gave that change like twenty people. When I die,
this change for you.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Luckily I know exactly where that change is, right, Hey, Michelle,
thank you and I'm so glad that you could share
your warmth with him in Staten Island because he loved
He loved meeting people more than anything. He loved it
and he would get mad. He'd get mad if we
got no attention. He's like, but I'm john Michelle, thank

(38:18):
you so much for listening.

Speaker 27 (38:20):
Oh, thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Heaven crazy what Nate? He would be the when we
would do like announcements for jingle Ball or jingle he
would be the first one in line to go up
on stage. He was so excited stage. What time do
you need me backstage? Uncle Johnny? He loved it, and
you know what, you're right Froggy. Before we knew Johnny,

(38:42):
he had never really he'd never been on stage at
Madison Square Garden, two blocks from his apartment. He'd never
remember we we actually invited him out to introduce. Was
it it was Lance and Bass or something? No, someone
was performing. I forget who it was. We'll call Alex
in Man and he'll tell us. Hey, So here's the story.

(39:02):
Uncle Johnny's been very very had been very very ill
for many years, and we thought we lost him during pandemic.
They brought him back to life. Kidneys weren't working, heart
was barely working, and I remember he groggily woke up
out of a coma and said, just let me go.
I don't want to live. I'm like, well, Johnny, you're
getting better, You're actually getting stronger every day.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
I just I don't let me go. I said, well,
should I suffocate you with a pillow, take you up
back and shoot you in the head. I don't, what
do you mean?

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Let you go? And then he came out of it
and he lived. He lived several great years.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
But did he wake up at one point and said
did I die?

Speaker 12 (39:40):
Well?

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Yeah, then he thought or he actually thought he was
still dead. It was weird, but you know, he his
health was going downhill rapidly and he was in and
out of the hospital a lot, and finally he went
up to Columbia Presbyterian Great Hospital uptown right past the
George washing A Bridge or buy it anyway, and they

(40:02):
took such good care of him. And we knew that
he wasn't gonna go home. He wanted to go home,
and I'm telling you exactly what happened. He wanted to
go home, but we knew he couldn't. Luckily, they had
hospice upstairs one floor above where he was staying in

(40:23):
critical care. And this is a new program that Columbia
Presbyterian has. There were six beds in this unit and
he was in one of them, and they took such
fantastic care of him. So to all the men and women,
women and men at Columbia Presbyterian, especially on that sixth
floor in that hospice area, unbelievable. And his caretaker who

(40:47):
was actually with him in his apartment and at the hospital, Eduardo,
whoa this guy a saint, and he took very good
care of Johnny Edo. Yeah, he bathed him, mature, he
was fad. He put blue cheese and his olives to
put in his Martinez. He did all sorts of things
for Johnny. Anyway, So there are the people who take

(41:11):
care of the people. And I just named him and
I love him very much. Anyway, we've got more. Did
you have some jokes with Uncle Johnny? And I'm not
yet coming up bad jokes. He was famous for his
really bad jokes, and they were horrendously awful.

Speaker 8 (41:26):
Yeah, he probably would have been better if he read
them right.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
But yeah, he started in the punchline and Dave Rody
used to write those jokes for him, and he would
and he would butcher David Rody's jokes, and Dave Rody
was livid, rightfully so because he worked hard than Johnny Wouldok. Yeah, yeah, Brody,

(41:50):
you jokes, this isn't funny.

Speaker 8 (41:53):
You would tell it to get a better one? Can
you get me better ones?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Can you get better jokes? Anyway, you'll hear some of
the bad and better jokes coming up in a second
as we say goodbye to Uncle Johnny. Goodbye, lady, we
love you. He was eighty two years old, born in
nineteen forty two. Wow, we actually found his discharge papers
from the army. He was mother Marina hed he cooked

(42:18):
for the military, all his food. He said it was delicious,
it was very brown. Anyway, We found his social Security card,
We found all his all he kept everything. We're like,
WHOA for a guy who just seems like he didn't
have it together here really had it together anyway, bad
jokes with Uncle Johnny on the way. I want to

(42:38):
hear all about the weird wild stories you didn't learn
in school. Let my best friend Patty Steele and her
podcast The Backstory with Patty Steel be your guide.

Speaker 31 (46:10):
Oh, Elvis Duran in the Morning show.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Oh thank you, Lauren. Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 18 (46:28):
What is there?

Speaker 4 (46:29):
What is there to say? Well nothing, let him say it.
Got some jokes with Uncle Johnny on the way. He
was known for his bad jokes.

Speaker 8 (46:37):
Oh yes, they were so bad.

Speaker 17 (46:39):
They were good, exactly, They're amazing.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
The worse they were, the better they were.

Speaker 25 (46:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
And also, uh, we've got the Uncle Johnny phone tap
on the way, which is so requested. But the number
one request a piece of sound and we're gonna play
that in about thirty forty minutes is Uncle Johnny trying
to get on a zoom call.

Speaker 8 (46:58):
One of my favorite moments ever.

Speaker 12 (47:00):
It was.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
You know, it just doesn't sound powerful, and just the
it was so good. You gotta hear it.

Speaker 17 (47:07):
It was so And the accompanying video, I know there's
video somewhere that was wonderful.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
He says, of his forehead in his it was insane.

Speaker 16 (47:14):
You also have to tell us at some point what
he said to you.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
The last thing he said to you was okay.

Speaker 32 (47:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
So this was He passed away Friday morning. I was
at his bedside Thursday with Eduardo who was there to
take care of him, and the incredible people and on
the hospice wing at Columbia Presbyterian. And he because I
guess of the pain management that he was going through,
his skin was very itchy.

Speaker 7 (47:37):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
So they gave him benadrill, which took him out. He
was snoring and he was out. He was I was jealous.
Uncle Johnny was in a great sleep. But every once
in a while he would come to go and then
you go back to sleep, but but you could see
he was He saw me and he wanted to wake up.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
He just't. He was his body was just too tired.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
But at one point he opened his eyes and I went, hey,
Uncle Johnny, I'm your male stripper. They sent me as
a special present, and he said to me, put your
clothes back on. No one wants to see that. And
he went back to sleep. And that was the last
thing Uncle Johnny ever said to this. Ny that is

(48:27):
so perfect, man. I gotta say. Our friend Anthony, we
call him Little Anthony. He was just such an angel.
He somehow got an entire bar up to Uncle Johnny's room.
They somehow led him through and they were mixing up
martinis and cosmopolitans, and of course Johnny was already on

(48:49):
pain medicine as it was, so he was flying high.
Johnny was feeling great, exactly what he wanted well his
entire life.

Speaker 8 (48:59):
He very pickled when he went, very much.

Speaker 12 (49:01):
So.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
All right, So, as I said, coming up the famous
Uncle Johnny phone tap. Also, we have Uncle Johnny trying
to get on a zoom call and I would like
to between us, I would like to get Alex on
the line at some point if he's up for it.
Alex is he is handling this so well, and you
know he has moments as we all would, but he's

(49:24):
he's I'm very proud of him. He's doing very well.
And he loved Uncle Johnny more than anyone. And Uncle
Johnny loved him. Oh absolutely. I don't even know how
many Amazon deliveries Alex would surprise Uncle Johnny was almost
daily every day. Oh it was either a jar of

(49:49):
marinated peppers one day and then blue cheese stuffed olives
the next, and then pants. Did you ever tell you
about the eight thousand dollar coat? You saw it? Gandi
sent me a photo of this. We were drinking. It
was Uncle Johnny and Alex and me. We were in

(50:13):
Florida and we were at Neeman Marcus and we were
buying tons of clothes stacks and I'm just buy it
whatever Johnny wants, whatever I want, just stacks, and I
just you know, at the end of the shopping spree,
Alex says, oh, look at this red coat. Johnny looks
great in this rad coat. I said, oh, that is
the most disgusting coat I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 8 (50:34):
That the one like the wings in the back.

Speaker 17 (50:36):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
Said, put that back. We're not buying that. Somehow it
got in the stack. Thank you, Alex and I didn't
even We put the credit card down and I just
signed it.

Speaker 6 (50:46):
We just left. We were drinking right.

Speaker 18 (50:49):
So later on he pulls it out of the back
at the hotel said, what are you doing? I said,
you didn't buy that, did you? He said, no, you did?
How much was it? Eight thousand dollars?

Speaker 15 (50:59):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Yes, I'm like, what are you doing?

Speaker 12 (51:02):
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (51:03):
You take that back?

Speaker 6 (51:04):
We can't.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
We're not going to pay for an eight thousand dollars coat.
And Johnny's I really like it a lot. It did
look good on him, It did not. That's an awful coat.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
I love that coat.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Ghandi and I make fun of that coat all the
time because it was not the best.

Speaker 17 (51:17):
Of coats, and he would start around in it like
he was so sexy. He loved that coat, but his
favorite was and I and I scammed Elvis for this coat.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
A week a month later, we saw it online on
sale for like a thousands.

Speaker 8 (51:31):
Of course, I could PassMark that for you.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
If you like that coat, oh you know what, You're right,
we should go over get that. So Uncle Johnny claimed
to be famous for doing nothing except mixing cocktails and
telling bad jokes.

Speaker 6 (51:45):

He's had a rough week, yep. Anyway, Uncle Johnny passed
away Friday morning, and uh, surrounded by people that were
taking very good care of him. Had last couple of
great days parties in his auspice room.

Speaker 8 (01:06:22):
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
I don't know how they get it they got it
up there, but they did. Anyway, Lots of memories about
Uncle Johnny. Joanne was actually a part of one of
our favorite memories and we didn't even know she was there. Joanne,
good morning, welcome to the show.

Speaker 27 (01:06:36):
Good morning family. My condolence said.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Oh, thank you, So tell everyone your story. And after
this we have Alex on hold. We're going to get
him on the air in the second, but go ahead.

Speaker 27 (01:06:47):
So my family lives in QS, so we typically spend
Christmas to New Year's there. And this is probably like
at least ten to twelve years ago. My husband and
I were walking down on Duval and it's a fun
place to be because you can do a lot of
people watching. So I spot Alex walking down the street
and his face is really red and I'm like, oh

(01:07:08):
my god, well like it's Alex. He's like he has
no idea, right, So I walk. We start going in
the opposite direction of Alice because he looks like he's
like marching off in the other direction. And I spot
you across the street and you're standing in front of
Uncle Johnny who has the scooter, and your whole entourage
is standing behind you, and you're like, you're not taking

(01:07:31):
the scooter, Johnny.

Speaker 26 (01:07:32):
You cannot.

Speaker 27 (01:07:32):
And now for those of you don't know. Duval Street
is really tight, so like when it's New Year's there's
nowhere for this scooter to go. So you're clearly yelling
at this man saying no, Johnny, no, and he's like, ah,
but I made it, and you're like, you don't need
the scooter. Where are you going in the scooter? And
this one on for five minutes. So my husband's like,

(01:07:53):
are you gonna go talk? And I was like, I
feel like this is not the time, So I'm just
gonna stand here and taken all that was Johnny because
at that point I actually like people are calling and
saying I didn't know he was a real person either,
but there he was exactly how you guys describe him,
with all of his antics, with the cane, a scooter,

(01:08:14):
all these bags, all of you guys are trying to
get where you need.

Speaker 12 (01:08:17):
To be, and he was not happy it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
No Uncle Johnny, Well you just described him perfectly. He
wasn't a human. But now I'll have Alex on in
a second. He'll he'll back this up. When we would
take Uncle Johnny to Key West with us, we'd have
a big house full of friends. He would get a
little crazy sometimes we'd have to send him to time out.

Speaker 7 (01:08:38):
I kid you not.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
We would make him go to his room and think
about what he did. Oh my god, but that scooter.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
We have videos somewhere. I think our friend Matt Totone
has video of him on that scooter plowing people down
on the sidewalk. Oh my goodness, running through some ladies
flower garden. I mean that scooter actually could have taken
several years off his life. We're not quite sure. I'm
so glad you saw that from Afari. I love hearing
your perspective because that's what happened. We were mad at him.

(01:09:04):
That was another bad about listen. Thanks for sharing that, Joanne,
Thank you so much for sharing that. I hope you
have a beautiful day, and thanks for listening to us.

Speaker 6 (01:09:13):
Thanks for being.

Speaker 7 (01:09:16):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Let me get Alex on here. Hi, Alex.

Speaker 6 (01:09:19):
Hi, are you listening to the Uncle Johnny Show?

Speaker 12 (01:09:24):
Yes, I'm listening, crying, laughing, you know, just it brings
back so many.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
Memories, isn't it a great story?

Speaker 6 (01:09:31):
Joeanne just told she was watching us as we were
fighting with Uncle Johnny and a.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
Scooter, Yes, scooter that I remember that moment as well.
God anyway, you're you're you know Alex you were his
number one? You know that, right?

Speaker 6 (01:09:48):
Yes, I know?

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
And you were so good to him, Alex. You and
I would lose my patience and have to leave the room.
And Alex, you always were so patient with him. You
did God were how you got the strength? I don't know,
but anyway, you.

Speaker 12 (01:10:04):
Know, I loved him so much and he was my
best friend.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
I know, I know. And all the memories, right, we
were telling a lot of stories during the song that
we can't tell on the air. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
you know.

Speaker 12 (01:10:20):
Could I tell one one story that was one of
my favorites? So we were I was with my friend Laura,
they used to work with me at the Zoo, and
went Uncle Johnny and we were at the hotel when
you were getting your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And Laura and I and Uncle Johnny were walking through

(01:10:42):
the lobby of the hotel and Laura goes, oh my god,
look it over there. That woman would would a hat.
She had this big, big hat on and was covering
half her face. And so she goes, that's Janet Jackson
and I go, oh my god. So Johnny goes, what
do you used to talking about. So we said nothing, Johnny.

(01:11:02):
He goes, no, tell me. So Laura goes, Janet Jackson
sitting over there. So Johnny goes where, Oh, I'm going
over to her. So Johnny walked over. She's sitting by herself.
He goes, Hi, Janet, my name is Uncle Johnny from
Z one hundred iHeartRadio.

Speaker 7 (01:11:18):
How are you?

Speaker 12 (01:11:19):
So she goes, well, hi Johnny, but I'm LaToya Jackson now.

Speaker 27 (01:11:26):
And then he goes, well, you better look and let
your sister.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
That was a funny day. Oh god, you know what
we're about to play. We're about to play the Uncle
Johnny can't get on zoom sound. Do you remember that?

Speaker 5 (01:11:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
You know, look I will tell you.

Speaker 12 (01:11:48):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
He had a guy. We hired a guy to like
sit with Johnny and help him out of the house.
The guy couldn't figure out how to make Johnny's phone
work right, So Johnny, yeah, ridiculed him until he quit.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
Right. Is that what happened?

Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
I mean the guy just he said, for personal reasons,
I can't be with Johnny.

Speaker 12 (01:12:09):
Yeah. That one day with Johnny was too much.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
And then they brought in Eduardo, who turned out to
be just a saint and I want.

Speaker 12 (01:12:19):
To go ahead, and I want to give a shout
out to Renewal Memory partners dead, the ones that came
to the rescue and did the ones that helped Uncle
Johnny out at home, and uh, what a great, great
organization they are without that.

Speaker 18 (01:12:36):
What's that from Alexys? Remember when we were on a
on Bliss and uh, we had put Johnny to bed
and twenty minutes later he showed.

Speaker 6 (01:12:45):
He came back.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
He came back alive in the casino, dancing.

Speaker 12 (01:12:48):
In a room.

Speaker 6 (01:12:50):
He came back.

Speaker 8 (01:12:51):
There were many times you put him to bed and
he came back.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
Oh yeah, and I think we were in Mexico ones
right in his pajamas.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
He came.

Speaker 4 (01:12:59):
We put him to bed because he was out of
his mind. He came back to life and came to
the casino, and Alex and I started running and hiding
behind the waddle of fortune machine.

Speaker 6 (01:13:08):
Remember that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
It's like, oh God, here, yes, I do Johnny he
sure did love you, Alex.

Speaker 6 (01:13:17):
He did.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Ye, he still does and I know you love him
very much. All right, Uh, we're gonna go play this
zoom sound. You're listening at home, right, you want to
hear this. It's hilarious.

Speaker 12 (01:13:31):
Yeah, I'm listening at home, Alex.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
Thank you for bringing us all. Uncle Johnny. Yeah, you're
the one who brought him to us. It's your fault,

Uncle Johnny lived in his own world, man, he did.
I love you. I'll call you a little bit, Okay,
I love you, Okay, bye bye, buddy. Hang in there
all right, he's doing really well with this. So during pandemic,

(01:14:03):
we all had to use zoom to stay in touch
with each other and do the show from our homes.
We're all out in house here, house there, in our
own homes, and we were trying to get Uncle Johnny
on zoom and it's just we couldn't make it work.
Well no, no, no, no no. We had all made

(01:14:25):
it work just fine. There was one person that couldn't
make it work. And here's how that went. Uncle Johnny's
in the zoom room. Hello, lady, Uncle Johnny, Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 6 (01:14:36):

Speaker 7 (01:14:38):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (01:14:38):

We're good, we're over here.

Speaker 8 (01:14:44):
He didn't realize we were going to commercial or whatever,
and we turned the MIC's off and he's still talking
and all you see in the zoom room.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
Is his mouth, Johnny. But now we're we're on now, Johnny,
we had a very special assignment this week with our
friends at Reyo's Homemade to make meat balls and sauce.

Speaker 6 (01:15:01):
How did you do?

Speaker 12 (01:15:02):
I did very good.

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
I think I tried to do what they told me
to do, but I didn't know if it was a video,
a picture or what.

Speaker 23 (01:15:10):
So I sent everything. I had a friend come over
and video be doing it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:16):

Yeah, so the video is fabulous I could go on
television and solvist this is great and I love I
loved REO's restaurant.

Speaker 23 (01:16:14):
I've been going there for years.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
Yeah, of course no, but the sauce is called Rao's Homemade.

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
I got it.

Speaker 23 (01:16:21):
It was how bad it's on the empty jar.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
So I was commenting earlier how you were so meticulous
in washing your hands before you mix the meat and
for your meat balls, but you keep your jewelry on.
I was kind of schemed out by that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Well, Honey, for the last fifty five years, I've been
making things of the made jewelry on. You're married, you
take your marriage rings off when you're making something.

Speaker 6 (01:16:43):
Yes, everything, And you've eaten all my.

Speaker 23 (01:16:46):
Food over the last ten years, and and you have
You're still fine.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
I'm sure some sort of mercury built up. I don't
know what's going on in me. Well, anyway, that was
a different conversations I have. I have the real one here, Yes,
all right, sorry about that. I don't know how that
got mixed up. Nate, all right, here's the call trying
to get Uncle Johnny on zoom. All right, so Uncle Johnny.

(01:17:14):
Uncle Johnny has't been on the show in a while,
and we we always try to get him in the
zoom room, and so we're recording this because I want
you to see what we're going through. Last time, it
took him how many minutes to get him in the
seventeen minutes. I bet he's faster now, all right, let's
try to get him in. I want you to know
that I.

Speaker 18 (01:17:32):
Sent him a zoom room invite and then I got
a recorded message back. That's just an ambient room noise
with the station playing in the background and him trying
to figure it out.

Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
Can you get him on the phone? Names you call
him on the phone? I love that.

Speaker 18 (01:17:51):
And I was just getting a weird phone call from
a number I don't have, but it was Erico two
to one to two, So I don't know if that
was him trying.

Speaker 23 (01:17:57):
To call me.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
That could be a home number he has a yeah,
because he's back in New York City. Oh, uncle Johnny.
But once we get him, it's always Radio Gold. It's
always like a lot of fun to talk to Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 18 (01:18:08):
It's his home number. End in six y three. Yeah, okay,
he tried to call me. Yeah, I don't know what
he's he's answering. He was trying to call me.

Speaker 4 (01:18:19):
He's probably confused. You can, Johnny, answer your phone.

Speaker 17 (01:18:28):
It'll take him thirty seconds to hear that exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Okay. But what I'm loving is he can't even figure
out how to use a phone that's connected in his apartment.
It's it's like a connected phone to the to the wall,
to the wall.

Speaker 6 (01:18:40):
Here we go, pick him up.

Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
Scary Hello uncle Johnny.

Speaker 6 (01:18:43):
Good morning, Oh wow, waited?

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):

get into the Zoom room. We're all in it and
we're waiting for you.

Speaker 7 (01:18:52):
Well, I got Froggy that thing, and I got the
Zoom one, but it's got so many things I didn't
know what they hit.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Well, what do you have?

Speaker 7 (01:19:04):
Well, I would on it. It says foggy Zoom information.
And then I went on to my regular iPad here,
which I have the Zoom and I joined it, joined
the personal link on John er News iPad. So I
got to figure out how to get in there.

Speaker 4 (01:19:25):

Yeah, just join meeting, Join meeting, all right, Join with
a personal link name. All right, I put that, all right,

shouldn't have to do a password if it has a
joint meeting with all, you should just be able to
click and go if you've been invited.

Speaker 7 (01:20:58):
Well, I'm trying to get quick.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
Can go just a minute?

Speaker 6 (01:21:03):
Have you had all Uncle Johnny?

Speaker 7 (01:21:05):

I haven't. Actually I didn't sleep well all night.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 19 (01:21:13):
Yeah, So anyway, usually there's several lines of gibberish, and
you just clicked the entire thing and I like, and
that's it.

Speaker 8 (01:21:24):
Well, you could taste it and put it in right.

Speaker 7 (01:21:26):
Here I message sent, I went on, I said, join
zoom meeting. All right here, I'm joining it now. That
is invalid meeting.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
Okay, okay, he's gonna end up on someone's preschool class.
Would you post this video later? Can we have a
little counter with the amount of time it's taken Uncle
Johnny to do?

Speaker 5 (01:21:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:21:51):
All right, right, all right, So I'm going to get
together with you one day and you show me exactly
when put it up there, and then I'll be able
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
But it should be easy. I mean, if he sent
it to your iPhone. He sent you all the information.
It's all included in the link, the password, everything all.
You just push the link and it takes you in.

Speaker 7 (01:22:12):
All right, so let me see. All right, I'm on
the iPhone and I hit please enter meeting password. But
I don't know your meeting password.

Speaker 4 (01:22:23):
I just I just said it to you.

Speaker 7 (01:22:24):
It just sent it to me.

Speaker 4 (01:22:25):
Now just send it to you again. It's the it's
the meeting.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
I d now it just went away.

Speaker 18 (01:22:32):
That's because it's a text. That's what it does. It's
a notification. It comes up and then it goes away.
You got to go look at your text message.

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):
It's you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
It's in your text messages, in my text Mexas.

Speaker 7 (01:22:41):
Yes, oh see where are they.

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
Your text messages when you go to on my phone?

Speaker 12 (01:22:48):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:22:49):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:22:49):
Yes, So what you should do, Johnny is you should
get your phone and open up your text message and
then now where you'll see the meeting ID in the
pass code, and then if you have your iPad next
to you, you'll be able to type it in while
looking at the phone.

Speaker 7 (01:23:01):
Oh so I got to put the iPad next to me.
Let me go see it. Could I get the Twitter
on my iPhone what.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
Do you need Twitter for?

Speaker 6 (01:23:07):
You don't need Twitter?

Speaker 7 (01:23:08):
Oh, here's the media password ID number? Okay, what do
I what do I do put in password?

Speaker 12 (01:23:15):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:23:15):
It just went again.

Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
Are you on your iPhone or your iPad?

Speaker 7 (01:23:21):
I got the ad iPad in front of me and
the iPhone in front.

Speaker 4 (01:23:25):
Ignore the iPad, right, just ignore the iPad.

Speaker 23 (01:23:28):
I'm ignoring the iPad.

Speaker 18 (01:23:30):
Well, hold on, do you have tax I think it's
easier if he uses the iPad with the Zoom software
that he has on there. He looks at the meeting
IDA in the passcode on his iPhone.

Speaker 4 (01:23:39):
Okay, Johnny, question, do you have your text messages on
your iPad too? I think he does, he used to.

Speaker 7 (01:23:45):
I think I do. Okay, that would what would that
little thing be that would be text messages?

Speaker 4 (01:23:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:23:54):
Oh yeah, yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:23:56):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:23:57):
Right there that the whiteboard water bump, It says meeting
ID number. All right, no, and uh but that's that
was eight oh two.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Have thousands of people in the room before long.

Speaker 7 (01:24:14):
It starts with out the time, all right, So I
mean right in the password would be uh the number?

Speaker 12 (01:24:23):

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
Yeah, the nine three five number. There's no nine three
five No, It says pass code it starts with nine
three five.

Speaker 7 (01:24:33):
No, it doesn't say that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:34):
Let me sure I texted to you. I know it
says that the link and it sends them in listen.
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (01:24:42):
Well, now people are texting in that that Zoom changed
the rules because of security issues, and now you always
have to put the password in.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
No.

Speaker 8 (01:24:50):
I never put the password in ever, not one time.

Speaker 4 (01:24:53):
I send the new new link every morning. Then maybe
Gandhi and Daniel are here illegally.

Speaker 7 (01:24:58):
Oh I got it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:00):
A minute, hold on, hold on, let me tell you.

Speaker 7 (01:25:05):

no like I said what he said, And then.

Speaker 4 (01:25:15):
We're about to get Uncle Johnny in the Zoom room.
We're so excited. This is going to be such a
proud moment security. You have music ready for this, like
trying to be right. Time to go to break with me.

Speaker 7 (01:25:26):
We're not going to pass boy. Please try again.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
No, so that's impossible.

Speaker 7 (01:25:34):
All right, We'll try again. Okay, maybe something a long
time ago.

Speaker 18 (01:25:39):

Yeah, he technology won every time, every times blown away.
And how patient I was. I don't think I'm that
patient with anybody else in my whole life.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
You got to keep in mind that was during pandemic.
We had nothing but time. Yeah, we were like, oh,
thank god, everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
He would give us his iPad or iPhone to hook
up to the Wi Fi and we'd go to hook
it up.

Speaker 4 (01:31:50):
Boys ahoy, his gay porn. Oh God, bless you, Johnny,
thank you for all the laughs. People were asking is
there going to be a service? You know, it was Johnny's.
He was very, very very insistent on this. He wanted

(01:32:11):
to be cremated immediately. He didn't want anyone to look
at at him. He's like, I don't want any viewing.
I don't want to I don't want to service. Just

far as his friends go, and that's our friend, oh,
Richard Bell. Yeah. They called and said, uh, you know,
Johnny passed away at seven twenty five this morning, which
was right before we right before we got the call.

(01:32:47):
Actually he had just passed away. And they said, we'll
keep him here in his room if you want to
come see him real quick. And we were way out.

Speaker 6 (01:32:56):
At the farm.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
We couldn't get into town, but Richard said, I'll go.
So Richard Bell I went up to his hospital room
and he sat down with uncle Johnny's body and uh,
he's like he called us, He's like, I'm with him now.
I went, oh, okay, are you Are you okay?

Speaker 12 (01:33:10):

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
He it's like he's just sleeping, and I keep wanting
wanting him to wake up. I'm like, wake up, Johnny,
and uh he didn't, of course, but our friend Anthony
brought him a little beijeon, a little little stuffed dog
that looked just like his Sophia, who passed away several
years ago. So Richard took Sophia, the uh stuffed dog

(01:33:33):
and put it right next to his chin, and he
held on to him and uh that's how how Richard
left him. So anyway, Wow, funniest guy you've ever met. Yeah,

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):
We actually have the script from the script from the
show Scandal, and it was very todd.

Speaker 6 (01:37:34):
Well, let's see what this is. I mean, hold on,
let's say I'm in a giving mood tonight. First i'd
take off your clothes. I wouldn't kiss you, not yet.
I'd make you wait for that. Then once I had
you naked, oh boy, I'd buffalo you out on the desk,

(01:37:56):
so i could see you every inch of you. Yeah,
And then I'd start at the bottom and I'd work
my way up, slowly, deliberately, so you finally understood the
choice in front of you. So you finally fully realized

(01:38:17):
just what you were giving up. And then once you're
begging because I won't stop you were begging that, I'd
finally kiss you on the mouth so you could buffalo yourself.
And then Olivia says, and then what that depends on

(01:38:39):
how much you hope there is?

Speaker 4 (01:38:41):
There you go, uncle, there you go. Use the word buffalo,
and still of the other words.

about him.

What a great guy. Totally insane.

Speaker 16 (01:44:07):
That was the best part about him.

Speaker 6 (01:44:09):
There was never ever a moment that was sane with
Uncle Johnny. Nope, Nah, he didn't want it that way.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
Nope.

Speaker 17 (01:44:19):
I always think I was telling Diamond this earlier. It
was so great because it's like when someone else has
a naughty little kid and you get to be around
them and just enjoy all the fun, because then you
send them home and they get to just be a menace.
To somebody else was great. We got the best parts
of him all the time.

Speaker 12 (01:44:34):
Wow.

Yeah, from Ryan?

Speaker 17 (01:44:40):
This is from Ryan. He says, my name is Ryan G.
From Richmond, Virginia. I've never texted or called in, but
I wanted to say how much joy Uncle Johnny brought
to my life listening to him on the radio with
all of you over the years. As a gay man,
we do not have many other older gay men that
can teach us and make us appreciate how far we've come.
He was such a colorful and beautiful soul, and I

(01:45:00):
want to thank you all for sharing him with the world.
Rest in power, Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 4 (01:45:03):
Here you go.

Speaker 6 (01:45:04):
That was great. Thank you Ryan.

Speaker 4 (01:45:06):
Alex and I were talking last night looking at old
pictures of him. Called we have these pictures of Uncle
Johnny as a hippie in wai Waikiki, Hawaii. He looked
like he was like just on every drug known to man.
It would be like beard and just dirty looking from
nineteen sixty something. Wow, And.

Speaker 6 (01:45:26):
Alex said, I wonder if he sounded like this, then hes, yeah,
he's a sounding like this.

Speaker 8 (01:45:34):
Yeah, because you look at pictures of him. He looked
like Tom Sellek and some he says, hot chiseled man.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):
Look Freddy Mercury.

Speaker 8 (01:45:40):
Oh yeah, totally Freddy Mercury.

Speaker 4 (01:45:42):
And then his voice was like yeah, and.

Speaker 8 (01:45:45):
I don't wouldn't be right.

Speaker 4 (01:45:46):
At some point his voice had to have changed into
what it became.

Speaker 17 (01:45:51):
I loved when he talked about how he was a bouncer.
Remember the bouncer.

Speaker 4 (01:45:54):
Voice that he did, Yeah, it was It's Johnny as
a bounce sir. He's lived so many different lives.

Speaker 6 (01:46:02):
Let's go around the room. What's on your mind. I'm
gonna start with Scottie b.

Speaker 18 (01:46:07):
Hey, yeah, do you remember that time you went to
Uncle Johnny's house to help him with his vacuum cleaner.

Speaker 32 (01:46:10):
I do.

Speaker 20 (01:46:11):
I took the train all the way in from Long
Island to the city because you were like, can you guys,
can you just go help him with his vacuum. He
can't get it working or whatever. He's having a problem
with it. So I'm like, okay, no problem.

Speaker 4 (01:46:20):
Went in there.

Speaker 20 (01:46:20):
I'm like, hey, Johnny, what's going on? I say, I
can't figure out this vacuum. Can you please help me?
Here's the manual? And he hands me the manual for
a cured coffee maker, and that who was reading it
like the whole time, and he's like, I can't figure
it out.

Speaker 4 (01:46:33):
It doesn't say how.

Speaker 20 (01:46:34):
To turn it on, Like, dude, this is the wrong thing.
And I just all I did was I put it
on the charger and it went right on, okay, and
that was that was it. But it was just I
don't know, it was just so Uncle Johnny. It was
such a fun day for me, as as much time
as it took me to get there. I love doing
That was Johnny. That was Johnny's thing. Man, Hey, what's up? Gandhi?

Speaker 1 (01:46:55):
All right?

Speaker 17 (01:46:56):
Just keep thinking, you know it always it's so terrible
to lose some And then I think how lucky we are,
And I know it's cliche, but how lucky we are
to have had someone who makes saying goodbye so hard?
And we were so blessed to have him in our life.
And he made us laugh so hard. Every single thing
that we've played is making me chkle over and over again.
And he was just such a wonderful person to know.
And I'm really glad that I had him in my life.

Speaker 4 (01:47:17):
Amen. Yeah, what did we do right? To deserve. Yeah,
having Uncle Johnny in our lives interesting, Hey, producer, Sam,
what's on your mind?

Speaker 21 (01:47:26):
I got so many big stories about the guy, but
I actually want to share just my favorite little thing
about him because it felt so significant.

Speaker 16 (01:47:32):
So especially in the other studio.

Speaker 21 (01:47:34):
My studio and then our old offices was really far away,
and sometimes I wouldn't even get out and socialize with
you guys because I'd be so tethered to my computer.

Speaker 16 (01:47:40):
And you know, it's a bomber. I love you guys.
We're all fun. Every time he came to.

Speaker 21 (01:47:44):
Visit, no matter how busy I was, I'd always hear
a little knock, knock, knock, and I'd turn around and
he'd wave and blow a kiss, or he'd open the door.

Speaker 16 (01:47:51):
He came to find me every time.

Speaker 21 (01:47:54):
So it's not just these big, ridiculous moments that make
him so fabulous. The small things that not enough people
do also made him exceptional. I'm never going to forget
the smallest gesture he would.

Speaker 6 (01:48:03):
Do every time.

Speaker 4 (01:48:04):
Remember we went to Ties that that bar down on
Christopher Street.

Speaker 16 (01:48:08):
Heavens, I only remember half of it.

Speaker 4 (01:48:09):
Elvis, Uncle Johnny got Sam so twisted man, and then
you and Uncle Johnny and Alex stood in the front
window of Ties and pulled your pants down and mooned
all of Christopher's.

Speaker 16 (01:48:20):
See, he moved mooned all of Christopher Street.

Speaker 21 (01:48:22):
And I just remember looking back at that photo and
being embarrassed because I had the whitest ass of all
three of us.

Speaker 4 (01:48:27):
That's what upset me, and oh my god, hey, Froggy,
what's up.

Speaker 7 (01:48:33):
Well?

Speaker 18 (01:48:33):
You know, every single time Uncle Johnny would come to
New York, if I wasn't here, he would always make
a point, like Sam said, to say hello. So the
very last interaction I had with him was a day
that he was here, and he on the camera said
to me, hello, Froggy, how are you s And I'm
really good. Great to talk to you. We chat a
little bit. He said, can you please give me a favorite?
Tell Lisa and Kayden that I loved them? And I

(01:48:54):
said yes. He says, I love Lisa so much Lisa,
and Elvis goes, hey, Johnny, if you love Lisa so much,
you should really learn how to say her name. It's Lisa.
It just says what ever, tell Lisa I love her.
I just he brightened every room he ever walked into.
He always left it a better place, and we will

(01:49:15):
miss him so so much.

Speaker 6 (01:49:17):
We already do.

Speaker 19 (01:49:18):
Heyes, you know, oftentimes people pass and then they are
celebrated posthumously and they don't get to hear it because
they're already dead. But with Uncle Johnny, I love the
fact that he got so many opportunities like for to
be honored while he was living, like, for instance, the
time that he was chosen as the Grand Marshal of
the Miami Parade, the Miami Pride Parade, or when he

(01:49:39):
went back to all his glory to the bar that
he had, you know, he made amends with and they
celebrated him on Fire Island. I mean, so I was
just it was just exciting to know that he got
to see these moments while he was alive and he
was honored in that way.

Speaker 4 (01:49:53):
There you go, that's very well put. Absolutely, and no
one loved honoring Uncle Johnny more than Uncle Johnny. We
loved him. Ha ha, what's up, Danielle.

Speaker 8 (01:50:03):
So, like Sam said, it was the little things that
like sometimes you might not see like he knew. I
loved the cocktails with all of the sweetness to it,
like anything sweeter. He would sometimes make a special cockail
only say this one's for Danielle. But then behind the
scenes he would be slipping me cherries and marshmallows and
chocolate and nutella and coconut and he'd be like, you'll

(01:50:24):
take this. I have extra, and I would like eat
extra and take some home with me. You can have
the whole bottle when I'm done, you just take it
home with you. Because he knew how much I loved it,
and little things like that, like you said, Sam mean
the world and it's those things that like you think
back at and you go.

Speaker 1 (01:50:39):
Wow, you know what.

Speaker 8 (01:50:40):
That was so sweet, and when it was happening, you
didn't maybe think of it, but then you go back
and you think of it and you go, wow, it's nice.

Speaker 4 (01:50:46):
He was a very sweet mas he really was. He
really was. H what's up straight now? I'm not sure
if I read this on the air before, but we
almost lost Johnny a couple of times, remember, and back
when he was in the coma in twenty twenty, I
sent him this text and I said, I'm not sure
if you will read this, Johnny, but I just want
you to know that you helped me realize that life
is worth living, to see the enjoyment that you got

(01:51:07):
out of even the most mundane things in life while
being almost double my age, gives me hope for my
own golden years. You made my life better in numerous ways,
and I sincerely hope that you will again one day
and the event, in the event that this is the
last text I send to you, then when it is
my own time to go, I want you waiting at
the gates of heaven with that drink you made me.

Speaker 6 (01:51:27):
For my birthday all those years ago. And if it's
not the right one, we will make the drinks that
you make until you come up with the right recipe.
Saint Peter can wait, and Saint Peter can wait until
you do. I love you, So I sent him that,
and then we had him for another couple of years. Yeah,
he kept trying to die, but.

Speaker 4 (01:51:50):
That one time he was like, what did he say
that one time to you? And when he woke up,
was to let me die.

Speaker 8 (01:51:56):
Let me die, Like, no, I told you to let
me die the first time. I don't know why he
keep me around.

Speaker 4 (01:52:05):
He got mad at us because we catch him alive inane.

Speaker 17 (01:52:10):
He was a really good hugger and he always gives
you a kiss every time too.

Speaker 4 (01:52:13):
Yeah, and you always said if you said I love you,
Uncle Johnny, he'd always say I love you more. That
was his Uncle Johnny. Is that if you can get
it up at yours? Yeah, yeah, I shoot nest. He
had a lot of those. I'm gonna play hooky goodbye,

(01:52:37):
Elvis Duran.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
In the morning show rembering Uncle Johnny. What a one,

(01:52:58):

Speaker 6 (01:53:01):
Let's get into mask game, Uncle johnn you know how
to play, right, Oh shure? Okay, so that before I
think over the past week.

Speaker 4 (01:53:07):
Yeah, we have Uncle Johnny, and it's a pleasure to
have you here today. And it's good to be sober
this morning. Yet we're not doing Uncle Johnny cocktails. We
thought we would just go sober. Well, I had a
little coffee this morning with sambuca inside. Just a splash. Alright, well,
welcome to match game. Let's see contestant number one, Nicky,
Hi Nikki, bye, good morning, good morning, welcome to the show. Now,

(01:53:27):
don't give me your answer immediately.

Speaker 6 (01:53:29):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:53:30):
It's so hot outside, hot day. It's so hot that
when Uncle Johnny's bartending, instead of keeping a joint under
his two pay, Uncle Johnny has a blank under his
two pay. Hmmm, all right, so once again, think about it.
Don't give me the entry yet, Nikki. The stars are
writing down their answers. It's really hot outside. Usually Uncle

(01:53:50):
Johnny has a joint rolled up under his two pay.
Do you have one today? I no, I get I
smoked it? Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:53:58):
So usually Uncle Johnny has a joint under his two pay,
But it's so hot, it's so hot, he has something.

Speaker 4 (01:54:05):
Else under his two pay. So look, we're gonna see
what that is. Okay, guys, Froggy, we're ready to go.
All right, here we go. Did you think about your answer, Nikki?

Speaker 6 (01:54:13):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (01:54:14):
So hot outside. Instead of a joint under Uncle Johnny's
two pay, Uncle Johnny has a blank under his two pay.
What do you think that is?

Speaker 1 (01:54:22):
I'm gonna say, A.

Speaker 4 (01:54:25):
Wet towel, A wet towel, okay.

Speaker 27 (01:54:34):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:54:34):
You know, you never know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:36):
Sometimes the stars write things like that, Hey, gandhi, it's
so hot outside. Rather than a joint under Uncle Johnny's
two pay, he has a blank under his two pay
and a cold beer, A cold beer, all right, all right, Froggy,
instead of a joint under Uncle Johnny's two pay, it's
so hot. He has a what under his two pay.

Speaker 18 (01:54:55):
Frozen margarita, A frozen Margaritay, all right, so far it
makes sense because he's a bartender, Uncle Johnny, so hot outside.
Instead of a joint under YouTube your two pay, you
have a what under your two pay?

Speaker 4 (01:55:09):
I have a fan. I have a lot of fans.
I know this is just miserable, scary, instead of a
joint under his two pay it's so hot, Uncle Johnny
has a what under his two Payida, No, Danielle.

Speaker 23 (01:55:31):
We're looking.

Speaker 4 (01:55:31):
We're looking for a cold, wet towel instead of a
joint under his two pay it's so hot, he has
a what? Alright. By the way, Nikki, in the history
of this game, there are a lot of times we
don't have a match, so you may still win. Hold
on me, it gets that bad.

Speaker 32 (01:55:47):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:55:48):
Well let's move on to Sammy.

Speaker 12 (01:55:49):
Hi, Sammy hid morning.

Speaker 4 (01:55:54):
All right, so you know how match game works, right, yes? Okay,
Well here we go. Don't give me your answer immediately
give the star ours a chance to write down their answers.

Speaker 11 (01:56:02):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:56:02):
As you know, Disney's Live Action The Lion King just opened,
and there's already a porn version of the film. In
that version, instead of singing Hakuna matata, they sing hacuna
my blank? Alright, okay. The Lion King now a porn version.
Instead of the song Hakuna matata. In the porn version,

(01:56:25):

the porn version of The Lion King, instead of Hakuna matata,
they sing hakuna ma I got hakuna my nuts.

Speaker 16 (01:57:28):
You're a sword.

Speaker 4 (01:57:32):
That doesn't even make sense, hey, uncle Johnny. In the
porn version of The Lion King, rather than singing Hakuna matata,
they sing Hakuna ma patas well, I know, but we
still have more to go. How we got mighty? Go
hey scary. Instead of singing Hakuna matata. In the porn
