All right, so Uncle Johnny. Uncle Johnny hasn'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
(00:22):
to get him in the seventeen seventeen minutes. I bet
he's faster now, all right, let's try to get him in.
I want you to.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Know that I 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 1 (00:42):
Can you get him on the phone? Names, Yeah, call
him on the phone. I love that.
Speaker 2 (00:50):

was him trying to call me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
That could be his home number he has a yeah,
because he's back in New York City. Oh, Uncle Johnny.

he's answering. He's trying to call me. He's probably confused.

You can't Johnny answer your phone. It'll take him thirty
seconds to hear that exactly. 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

Uncle Johnny finally got on zoom. That was I'm worn out. God.
But every time, every single time he had a problem
with his cell phone or anything, his remote control for
his TV. That's what happened on that phone, John versus technology.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, he technology won every time. Every Time's blown away
at how patient I was. I don't think I'm that
patient with anybody else in my whole life.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
You got to keep in mind that was during pandemic.
We had nothing but time. Yeah, we were like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Yeah, everybody would give us his iPad or iPhone to
hook up to the Wi fi and we'd go to
hook it up boys ahoy, his gay porn.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
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 ex. He was very, very
very insistent on this. He wanted 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
(15:16):
don't want to service. Just throw me a big party
at Cherry's on the Bay in Fire Island on Fire
Island this summer. So we're gonna do that. We'll let
you know when we're getting closer to that. So there
is one person who did see him as far as
his friends go, and that's our friend, oh, Richard Bell.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They called and said, uh, you know, Johnny passed away
at seven twenty five this morning, which is right before
we right before he got the call. 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 at the farm
we couldn't get into town, but Richard said, I'll go.
(15:57):
So Richard Bell 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'm oh, okay, are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Richard?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
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
(16:32):
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,
Uncle Johnny. He was from another planet, without doubt, and
we love you, Uncle Johnny.

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 ex. He was very, very
very insistent on this. He wanted 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
(15:16):
don't want to service. Just throw me a big party
at Cherry's on the Bay in Fire Island on Fire
Island this summer. So we're gonna do that. We'll let
you know when we're getting closer to that. So there
is one person who did see him as far as
his friends go, and that's our friend, oh, Richard Bell.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They called and said, uh, you know, Johnny passed away
at seven twenty five this morning, which is right before
we right before he got the call. 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 at the farm
we couldn't get into town, but Richard said, I'll go.
(15:57):
So Richard Bell 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'm oh, okay, are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Richard?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
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
(16:32):
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,
Uncle Johnny. He was from another planet, without doubt, and
we love you, Uncle Johnny.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
