Don't like each other, so it's really like what happened
Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I get yelled at. So we we are also separated
by twenty something years, so twenty guys. I get yelled
at for things like I'll come out of the bathroom,
We'll be on the road. We rent an Airbnb. I
come out of a bathroom at eight o'clock in the
morning because I'm very regular, and he goes, tell me,
you just dropped the deuce. I said, yeah, every morning.
He goes, you lucky son of them. Really why he goes,

through my sister. I'm getting yelled at for bout movements.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Dude, Well, you get you get older, you know, the
body just works when it wants.
Speaker 1 (05:04):

coming out. Oh god, I'm like, dude, serious, I've never
had someone jealous over my my digestive system.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, well, you know, you get older, the food channels
like porn for me.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Now, let's grow your Last time Anthony was here, I
wasn't here like all the other times he wrote a
penis shaped chicken palm. Yes, I felt like I feel like, yeah,
maybe you're surprised me to one today. No, No, is
it weird to be like sitting in the same room
as me, because every time it is, and you're actually
kind of nervous. I grew up listening to you. So
now you're actually writing being in a laptop in front
(05:41):
of me. I'm like, whatever, it's Elvis. But now like
I just you know, commercial break up John, I'm sure
laptop is busy.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Every night I lost I lost one hundred dollars because
I said you weren't going to be here.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, I had to be here. So okay, let's talk
about what Danielle has created. Daniel I don't know what
else you guys, how are you? How long you been
in radio? That do you have? Somebody has to say
to you. It's your turn to talk.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know what you can do whatever? So you guys
know a couple of months back, I introduced you guys
to Happy Jack, which have been really part of our family,
like off the air for a long time. Brady and
David Nathan their son Jack. He suffered from anxiety for
years and he created this beautiful artwork to kind of
(06:26):
help him get through that. And so what he wanted
to do was he wanted to say, you know what,
I want to help others that are going through the
same thing that I'm going through. So he created Happy Jack,
which is Happy Jack's World, and it's it was all
these great like sweatpants and sweatsuits and sweatshirts and T
shirts after his artwork. And so he launches this and
(06:46):
it does incredibly well, and then unfortunately a month later,
he died from fentanyl poisoning. And so his family has
been trying to keep his memory alive, keep his focus alive,
and put these beautiful into the world and help others.
So any money that Happy Jack makes, it goes right
back into help mental health programs. So they came to
(07:08):
me a couple months back and said, hey, can you
collab with us on a clothing line? I said, of course.
So I said, let's do the word laugh because you know,
everybody knows me for my laugh in my mind, laughter heels,
it's a everybody. Even if you can laugh for five minutes,
it makes you feel better. So the the clothing line
did really well, and then I said, you know, lefter
(07:28):
heels laughing, we should do a comedy show as well
and make some more money. So I called up Goomba,
who he is my friend, even though it doesn't seem
like it right this second, I called. I called up
Boombaugh and I said, this is my idea, and he said,
I'm in. Let's do it. He called Anthony Anthony Goes,
I'm in. I called Joe Gatto. I said, Joe, he Goes,
I'll rearrange my schedule. I'm in. We called Tammy Pascatelli,

our friends It's low Omens for some money that we
needed to put this together. Whatever you need. I mean,

and all of a sudden, the guy laying down like
reclined whatever on his eyes, and Mark goes and a
guy jumps up and he goes, sir, this is the
whisper room. He goes, yeah, I'm Italian, I'm exempt. I'm like,

Speaker 4 (21:09):
And I thank everybody because, honestly and behind the scenes
here at the station, there are so many people that
have been helping me, and obviously, well I'll talk about
them when we get closer to the show. But I
mean just the fact that I can call you and say, hey,
I need help with something. It's for something important, and
you both were like, whatever you need. It really means
the world to me. And it just shows me that

willing to help you and be there for you, and
it really does it chokes me up because it really does.

school or getting driven to school listening to you guys
like whatever you guys ever need, No, none of you
better ever pay for my tickets. Elvis, you could pay
you haven't. No, No, I've heard about you one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars charging your credit card. Your limit goes
(21:59):
that high? Can you say black card? But all joking aside,
whatever you guys need, Like, I was actually thinking about
canceling a show just to perform at your birthday party.
And I'm sorry that you got Johnny instead, But I
truly do love you guys. The fact that the fact
that I listened to you guys and like, wow, all right, Johnny,
(22:19):
You're you're now fired. And the fact that I listened
to you guys and now I'm on your show is
a guest big shout out to my sister Rosa if
I had to do that. But it's kind of surreal,
and I love you guys.

Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I get yelled at. So we we are also separated
by twenty something years, so twenty guys. I get yelled
at for things like I'll come out of the bathroom,
We'll be on the road. We rent an Airbnb. I
come out of a bathroom at eight o'clock in the
morning because I'm very regular, and he goes, tell me,
you just dropped the deuce. I said, yeah, every morning.
He goes, you lucky son of them. Really why he goes,
(04:55):
I ate a bagel three weeks ago that hasn't passed
through my sister. I'm getting yelled at for bout movements.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Dude, Well, you get you get older, you know, the
body just works when it wants.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
He just stands outside the bathroom and just listens to me,
and he's like that it sounds like it felt good
coming out. Oh god, I'm like, dude, serious, I've never
had someone jealous over my my digestive system.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, well, you know, you get older, the food channels
like porn for me.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Now, let's grow your Last time Anthony was here, I
wasn't here like all the other times he wrote a
penis shaped chicken palm. Yes, I felt like I feel like, yeah,
maybe you're surprised me to one today. No, No, is
it weird to be like sitting in the same room
as me, because every time it is, and you're actually
kind of nervous. I grew up listening to you. So
now you're actually writing being in a laptop in front
(05:41):
of me. I'm like, whatever, it's Elvis. But now like
I just you know, commercial break up John, I'm sure
laptop is busy.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Every night I lost I lost one hundred dollars because
I said you weren't going to be here.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, I had to be here. So okay, let's talk
about what Danielle has created. Daniel I don't know what
else you guys, how are you? How long you been
in radio? That do you have? Somebody has to say
to you. It's your turn to talk.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
You know what you can do whatever? So you guys
know a couple of months back, I introduced you guys
to Happy Jack, which have been really part of our family,
like off the air for a long time. Brady and
David Nathan their son Jack. He suffered from anxiety for
years and he created this beautiful artwork to kind of
(06:26):
help him get through that. And so what he wanted
to do was he wanted to say, you know what,
I want to help others that are going through the
same thing that I'm going through. So he created Happy Jack,
which is Happy Jack's World, and it's it was all
these great like sweatpants and sweatsuits and sweatshirts and T
shirts after his artwork. And so he launches this and
(06:46):
it does incredibly well, and then unfortunately a month later,
he died from fentanyl poisoning. And so his family has
been trying to keep his memory alive, keep his focus alive,
and put these beautiful into the world and help others.
So any money that Happy Jack makes, it goes right
back into help mental health programs. So they came to
(07:08):
me a couple months back and said, hey, can you
collab with us on a clothing line? I said, of course.
So I said, let's do the word laugh because you know,
everybody knows me for my laugh in my mind, laughter heels,
it's a everybody. Even if you can laugh for five minutes,
it makes you feel better. So the the clothing line
did really well, and then I said, you know, lefter
(07:28):
heels laughing, we should do a comedy show as well
and make some more money. So I called up Goomba,
who he is my friend, even though it doesn't seem
like it right this second, I called. I called up
Boombaugh and I said, this is my idea, and he said,
I'm in. Let's do it. He called Anthony Anthony Goes,
I'm in. I called Joe Gatto. I said, Joe, he Goes,
I'll rearrange my schedule. I'm in. We called Tammy Pascatelli,
(07:51):
who is absolutely hysterical, and she said, I'm in. And
it just started happening. We went to Gotham Comedy Club.
They were like, whatever you need slogans. I went to
our friends It's low Omens for some money that we
needed to put this together. Whatever you need. I mean,
it has just been so amazing and so it is happening.
It is happening March twentieth at Gotham Comedy Club and
(08:11):
it's called Laughter Heels one night only and Goomba. Johnny
will be hosting, Anthony will be performing, Tammy will be performing,
