first one, something like that.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Historians believe it was the nineteenth century. The drink became
popular when Bender starts selling it at a public event
in the nineteen oh four World's Fair. It took over
the World's Fair. It was like the big deal all
over and there. They made news and everything. It was
this new drink that everybody was drinking.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Uh? Is it?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is it tea? What kind of tea? Nick? Oh?

Uh. Nineteen oh four World's Fair it was all the rage.
What kind of tea? And people hadn't heard of it before, Like,
oh my god, we got to get some.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
They put ice cubes in the tea, cancer.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
With iced iced tea was the that is the answer,
and it's okay, is it iced tea or is it
iced tea with the D at the end.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Of the We're pretty sure it's ice dashed tea. The
letter it is.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Not the people have been a big debate or whatever.
It's iced tea. So it's the iced iced tea. But yeah,
in the at the World's Fair, they were all freaking
out because everybody had always you know, the tea had
always been hot, hot tea, you know, that's it was
in England.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was a big deal, always been a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, the Brits have never forgiven us are putting ice
in then their tea.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But at the World's Fair for the first time, they
were like, come get their iced tea.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And people were freaking out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And that's funny to think that that would cause such
a commotion, you know, like iced tea like that.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's more that like ice was a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Uh maybe, you know, I don't know why it was
such a big deal. I looked it up this morning
and it was definitely the World's Fair in nineteen oh
four and everything that went on, you know, as far
as scientific advancements and everything. The lines for the iced
tea were it was such a big deal that it
made news, like in the World's Fair Iced tea is.
(09:05):
People couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I'll tell you what's dangerous drink that I drank the
other day for the first time. What I just like
Willie Nilly. Sometimes I'll just pick up a random you know,
alcoholic beverage, and they have Arizona hard ice green tea now,
and I've seen it, just like the green tea, the
regular green tea. And I was like crushing these things
(09:26):
and they're not carbonated. I like killed like three of
them super fast.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh you know what, I it's so funny that you
just said that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I remember I went through a phase, just like I
went through a phase with the black Chyle drink. I
went through a phase with Lipten iced teas and a
can remember the Lipten iced teas and I drank. I
used to drink those things like like water. I mean
I drank them. I drank them for many, many years.
And then they don't even make that anymore, do they
Lipten iced tea.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I used to drink brisk I don't know if that's
the same thing, but like remember brisk They just brought
it back.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Can they come in cans?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
It did come in cans, its blue and yellow. Can
let me throw it up here?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah? Well, the Liptons were.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I remember lyfting. I had the powder, but not the.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Liptons came in cans and I would get it by
the cases man, and I thought, oh, I'm drinking nice tea.
This is healthy, of course, full of sugar. Terrible for me.
Uh they got a hard version of that, do they really?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah? Right, what's the liquor that they're using in that?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Because that's yeah, That's the other thing that I'm not
I'm starting to realize, not a bit huge fran of
is that they're using a.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Variation of mat liquor for all these kinds of drinks.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That one can was the one I used to drink

particular reason.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, that's when I moved over here.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Okay? And where where did you?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Where'd you come from?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Originally? California?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
California? Is that is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So I've only visited a California a handful of times.
It seems to be a lot sort of like Florida.
But Am I wrong? Was it a big change for you?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Uh, it's a it's a cultural change, it's it's a
weather change, of course, But overall it's it's just similar.
It's similar, just a lot more widespread.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, is that where you were brought? Like? What part
of California? Where are you're from?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Or Johnny just about ten minutes away from Disneyland? Or
if you've ever been to nuts Berry Farm, that's my
homeless city, I'll be damn.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, I've never been to Disneyland. Obviously, I grew
up in Orlando, so it's always been disney World. And
everyone says that it's a lot smaller. Is that pretty accurate?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
It's true, it's very I mean it's very much smaller.
You know, they the first time they ever did it,
they had a lot less land to work with, not
like here in Florida where you have all the swamp
land that they were able to build on. But yeah,
it's a lot more compact. So thinking about going to
the parks here, it takes you know a couple of
days where you can maybe three or four days where
you can do the parks there in max Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I can imagine if you were there as a kid.
Is that in the more nostalgia? Like, for you, do
you like Disneyland better because that's what you grew up knowing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Or or not?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well really into that. I worked for Disney for ten years.
It was my first job out of high school. Oh wow,
the nostalgia's there, and yes it's smaller, but you have
to realize that it's it's the original, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I've always wanted to go
to it just because I've you know, I've I grew
up going to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Uh so I've always wanted to check it out.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I don't okay. I always assumed Disney was in the middle,
like how we have it here where it's away from things.
And I'm looking at Disney and I'm looking at Nottsbury
Farms the middle of like it's in the middle of
the f in l A. Yeah, that's crazy, middle of
the city. Yeah, there's buildings and all kinds of Snotsberry
Farm sounds like it would be like af On, like
you know, out in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
First of all, I thought Notsberry Farm until just now
was in like North Carolina. What the hell is Notsberry Farm.
It's just a theme park.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Park in LA so they call it America's first theme park. Actually,
and a fun fact, you guys have all been to
Halloween horror Ife here at Universal Studios. Yeah, not Scary Farm.
Not Scary Farm is the origin of Halloween Hornets. That's
where they took the idea from the Bill and Ted's
(16:05):
comedy show where they used to kill people all that
good stuff. Yeah, that came from the hanging at not
Sperry Farm or not Scary Farm. That's the origination where
I came from.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I'll be damn. So you said you worked for a
disney Land for many many years. What did you do
when you were there?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So I worked in entertainment. I smiled and waved and
danced and parades and mild princely and did shows and
did a whole bunch of other things.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So over there, I bet you he probably ran into
a lot of celebrities there, didn't you.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I've ran into a couple I have gone called Van
dam was one of my favorites. And then I have
a fun story that I got to kick. Uh the
voice of Woody off a ride.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well, the voice of Woody is Tom Hanks, So.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah, that happened.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Why did you ride?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Why would you kick the voice?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
So when I was nineteen, I was working the ride
Big Thunder Mountain, and there came one of the VIP
tour guys with a young kid. Had no idea who
he was, and he stood up on the ride. And
of course, when you stand up on the ride, you
run the risk of possibly injuring yourself and others. And
so we gave him a warning. We said, if you
come back and you stand up on the ride again,
(17:24):
we're gonna have to stop the ride and we're gonna
have remove it from the park. Well, he came back
again with his father.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Come, Hanks, I'll be damn.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
It was the It was the one that was not
the nice one.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Oh yeah, kat Faker whatever he calls himself. I forget
what you had to kick him? How was he when
he kicked him off? Was he was he pleasant or
was he mad?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
So he was he was pleasant with us, but he
was he was angry at his son.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Sure he was like he was.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Fully apologetic to to to us. But then of course
once he apologized to us, he looked with that he said, son,
we're going home, and he apologized us and then they left.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Famously, Steve Martin worked there. Now, probably not when you
were there, though, because you sound a lot younger than that.
But did you ever run into Steve Martin at Disneyland?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Steve Martin, So his original job was, I mean spos
To went and open I believe, I mean it's actually
opened fifty five. So I believe he worked there in
the seventies and worked there starting in two thousand and two. Okay, yeah,
he worked in the Magic Cup.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That's true. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool man.
Well that's awesome. What do you do for a living now?
Speaker 2 (18:33):

much sales overall. I do a lot of travel sales.
I used to work in the travel industry. I work
in the travel industry. I used to do real estate
as I have my hands on a.
Speaker 1 (18:47):

sell cruise bak agents basically.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Okay, all right? Is that?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Is that difficult these days with all of the news
we see about you know, cruise ship, people getting sick
and other things happening on on cruise ships. Is it
more difficult now or what I've seen is the cruise
industry is up even though those things have happened.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You know, there's a lot of things. There's a lot
of people that like stay with the politics that are
happening in the US. A lot of Canadians don't want
to come into the US. And then there's of course
everything that's happening over in Europe and like Egypt and
Gaza and all that good stuff. Not good stuff, but
so people are weirdy to go to certain locations, and
some some countries don't want to come to the US
(19:36):
at all because of you know, politics. Yeah. But other
than that, you know, people are still cruising. There's still
I mean, people spend a lot of money young cruises
man a lot of money on cruises.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Nick helped me out here.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I got a friend of mine who I know would
have a good time if he went on a damn cruise,
but I can't talk him into it because he's convinced
that it's not for him. That he you know, I
don't know what I got another reason, he just like
I don't want to go whine because you get hear
people get sick on the ground. How would you tell
a friend of mine that might be listening right now
(20:09):
that he would enjoy a cruise.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Sometimes there's bibs depending on what cruise line you go on.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yet no, honestly cruising. I was an avid cruiser before
I started working in the cruise industry. I worked on
board cruise ships for almost ten years. Cruising is the
best way to travel in my aspect my thought process,
because number one, if you travel somewhere, you have to
pay for a hotel. Then when you pay for the hotel,
you have to pay for food, Then you have to
pay for entertainment. Then you had to pay for destinations
(20:39):
wherever you go, and then you're only stuck into one place.
You know, you get to navigate that one place. But
on a cruise, you wake up in a different location
every single day. Yeah, and then the entertainment's paid for.
It's all in one. You have somebody that cleans your
room every day, you have somebody that you know feeds
you every day. You're not going to go away starved.
You have different type of food that you can try.
(21:03):
One of the big things about cruising is that people,
you know, they order when they go to the restaurant
for dinner, they order one entree and they're like, well,
I didn't really like it. Who cares if you don't
like it? They they don't like it, send it back
and order something else.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Get another way.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Angel, we're talking to you right now. Angel, I'm telling you,
this guy's letting you know it would be and you
to think. You get drunk, you stumble back to your room.
You don't have to drink and drive. You get to gamble, you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Get to you can stumble overboard. Now, Nick, just real
quick overbo.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
If you've never if you've never ever ever done one
of these things, what would be a good like entry
level cruise that wouldn't be too overwhelming, just like the
the the right amount of days, because like that's what
everyone's been telling me, Like, hey, listen, dude, don't let
(21:55):
your first cruise be one of these ones that's like
five days, because you're gonna hate it. Uh So, what's
a good like for four days? Like a good even
maybe the right cruise line and the right amount of days.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So really and truly, I mean it all depends on
you know, your type of style. But what what great
entry level cruise cruise line is either Royal Fabian or Norwegian. Yep,
those are the Creme dela creme.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
You know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Royal Sabian is the one that I used to work
for a three or four A crew out of Port
Canaveral on one of their big shifts. So you can
see the mega shift. And when you think of mega shift,
you think of a lot of people. But also the
size of the ship matters. So I worked on the
mega shifts and they have upwards of seven thousand people
(22:43):
on them. But because they're so big, you don't see
the seven thousand people. You may see one person once
and never see them again.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
So three or four A crews make sure to get
the beverage packaged and just have a blast. Go to
like their private island Cococae literally Orlando Cococaine back on
the three or four day cruise used to be you
should be golden.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, I think you would love it. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Ryan questioned for I like this guy, Nick the cruise guy,
Nick the cruise guy.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
When you were I got a question of follow up
question question one, what did you do on the cruise ship?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I was?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I was an assistant cruise director, number one assistant cruise director. Okay,
so you got your like the fun party guy.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah, I was the guy in charge of all the activities,
the game shows, all that good stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Okay, because that's that's my follow up question. Is this
like as a I'm assuming white dude, right, white American guy? No,
these guys don't exist on the cruise ship like it's
it's seriously, They're few and far between. What was your
experience like being, you know, a white American guy on
the ship. I know you're in like a position of
(23:50):
basically power and management at that point, but how was
it for you in.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
What aspect and a guest?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I mean just like like because most of the staff
is going to be from various countries that aren't the US, right,
So is there like a is there what's this culture
like behind the scenes?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
So the culture is actually fantastic. So I always said
that if if the world should take a little piece
of the culture that you have on cru ships, because
there was, the world will be a better place if
if literally I worked with anywhere from fifty to sixty
five different nationalities on board these ships every single day,
(24:35):
all of them spoke English because they had to to
work on board, and really and truly you learn so
much about culture. Everyone's friendly, everyone gets gets on together.
They all the workers. They work exponentially hard, but they
also party harder.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, because you're working like ten to twelve hour days, right.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
The some workers work in in between. I mean, you
could work as a little as you know, four hours
a day, but you could work as long as twelve hours.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Yet, so it's not like, I think this sounds crazy,
but it's not like prisons, right, We're like, Okay, the
Filipinos hang out with the Filipinos and the Romanians. They
got their own set, so it's like cruise ship gangs.
But it sounds like everybody just gets along.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I mean there are some you know, nationalities, because the
major nationalities that work on board are three different major nationalities,
which is Filipinos, Indonesians and Indians. Those are three main
main nationalities that work on board. And do they hang
out with each other, of course, but a lot of them,
you know, we all branch out, we all hang out
with everybody. Everyone's one big happy family. But of course,
(25:39):
you know, I mean the Filipinos have their they call
it the Filipino mafia on board. If you need something done,
you need to grab something, go talk to the one
of the Philipino mafias. I'll get see anything.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Hey, Nick, what would you like to plug and promote? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I got to give you time to do that, all right, No,
you know what, I'm not really plugging anything. I am.
Actually I've been sitting in the gym parking waiting to
talk to you guys. And if we're talking, if you
mentioned ptil Feiffer and how much better physical stape he's
got in, I want to just say, take care of
your body. It's the one place you have to live.
(26:13):
Over the past four years, I've lost thirty five pounds
ever since worth getting off of cruise ships because food
for fruit is really oily and kind of from other countries.
So I've kind of gotten the worst physical escape that
I possibly could have been in, and now I'm in
the best physical shape that you could be in. It's
not easy. It takes you go day by day and
(26:35):
each day that you show up as a win.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
There you go. Well, I've really enjoyed talking to you, Nick.
I got a question too. Okay, he's got to go
to the gym guys, just real fast questions. Go ahead
ask him.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Hold on, why is the Indian food so much better
than the standard food at the buffet.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Because all the stuff are Indians?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I know.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
See, I didn't want to say that, but I feel
like that was the answer.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Thank you, Angel. Question for Nick.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
The all the all the all the senior tests are
all the senior jefts, and usually like the higher end
jests are all Indians. The the entry level stets are
usually Filipino for some reason.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't know, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
What would okay on your recommendation the three to four
day crews? I got you?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Uh, I'm six foot seven? What do I need to
make sure? Like if I'm trying to book one of
the cabins, like, are there cabins that are going to
be better accommodated for my height?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
N unless you're going to go into a high end suite.
Pretty much both. Pretty much all state rooms come in
two two twin beds that get put together to make
a queen. So getting an extension for you being six
seven is going to be hard. Sometimes they might have them.
You can ask in request when you do book your crew,
(27:59):
but pretty much all the state grums are going to
be the same. Gotch what I would highly recommend unless
you want to be like with some people, you know
they like going like an interior room, but that some
people might feel claustrophobic when doing that. I highly highly
recommend going with the balcony, at least just because it's
honestly waking up and going to sleep, the waste cracting,
(28:22):
having a cup of coffee and breakfast on your balcony.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's awesome, a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
And then if you're bringing someone with you, extracurricular activities
are also fun.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, he's right about that. Yet, if you can, it's
a lot. It's extra. It's a little bit extra to
get the balcony. But I've been in the room where
it's just you go into a hole, you know, and
then you know at the bottom of the boat, and
then I've been in the room with the with a
balcony at balcony is infinitely better.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You don't afterwards, you don't even remember saying balcony though.
Is it like just a window or.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Store. You walk out on the balcony and be out there.
It's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's really what's to stop you from jumping over nothing,
just w'd be crazy, an insane person. Just use the
balcony like a normal person and bang on it. Yeah,
there you go like everybody else. Yeah, Nick, thank you.
But I really enjoyed talking to you. I appreciate it, buddy, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Guy, you have a great day, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Take care.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
One last thing. Yeah, when booking, when when booking your balcony,
make to that you're not close enough to the bridge,
which is to the front of the tip, usually on
Dick deck nine or ten, because they do have cameras
that look back.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh that's right, they do. You're right about that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's a road tip right there. There's a proast there. Hi, buddy,
thank you so much. All right, we're gonna take a
little break. Don't go anywhere more more big dumb fun
when we come back. You're listening to them off for
the morning.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Real Radio is on Instagram at Real Radio one O four.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
A bunch of people who are trying to uh, I
don't call me out or whatever about Oh it's not true.
Back in eighty four you could drink when you were
twenty one what was it again, Like you could drink
when you were eighteen or something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
In Florida.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
You could drink at nineteen all the way up to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, so, and they asked why didn't you Why didn't
you drink then? So at that time I had like
it was sort of a gimmick of mine that I
didn't drink.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So I just straight edge, Bro.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I was very straight edge, and to the point where
even my friends would hide it from me. If my
friends would drink, they would, they would, they wouldn't let
me know because they thought I'd be upset with them.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Were you having the sex? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Okay, so not straight edge then, right?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Not drinking was your gimmick?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, tenth grade with my girlfriend? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
we get it. Bro, your name yea yeah. But but
I didn't drink, and I was known for the guy
that didn't drink, right, So it was I had a gimmick,
and I stuck with a gimmick for a while, even
after I graduated from high school.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So people were like, oh, you could have drank. What
was your first experience drinking? Like them?
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Did you get drunk the first time?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I remember it very well. I was at already graduated
from high school.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I went down to see my buddy Scott Hawkster, who
was a bouncer at the Banana Boat in West Balm Beach.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So, so I was staying with him and he's like,
you want to come to work. I'm you know, you
can come to work with me and hang out Like
that's fine. So and I used to love to make
him laugh. He'd make me laugh. We you know, he's
just a good dude.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And so he's doing his bouncing business and I go, hey,
I'm gonna have a beer and he's like, Okay, you're
grown up.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You can if you want to.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
And so I had a cors Light and then I
had another cors Light and then I had another cors
Light in a burger and I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Gonna dance with that fat girl.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And so to make my buddy Scott Hawkster laugh, I
went and danced with his fat girl all night long?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
And uh, what did it feel like for you? Did
you feel? I was? I was?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I was like, why have I Why have I not
been drinking all this time? I've been this stick of
the lot. Everybody's been hiding it from me. And I
had a I think I had like a six pack
of cors Light.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Or no, it was regular course because I remember because
I remember saying it was the what's their gimmick?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's like banquet the bank. Yeah, banquet beer.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I'm drinking a banquet beer and uh and my buddy,
I just remember looking over Scott shaking his head because
you know, he was sober. He was bouncing and I'm
dancing Dan with the Factor all night long.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
It was fun.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You probably did yourself a real favor inadvertently, though, because
like there's all this research that's come out now that
says like, if you you know, the kids that drink it,
really it really affects their brain, uh, for the for
the rest of their life. So like, your memory is
pretty bad now, imagine if you, like you were drinking,
it could have it could have messed it up a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
At a young Well you know what I think afterwards
to be This is not a public service announcement. I
am just telling you that afterwards, when I started drinking,
I'm like, man, all the all the times I missed
with my friends when everybody was going on, they would
go to certain things and they would they would go drinking,
and they do it without me. They because they didn't
want me to know, because I thought I'd be upset
with them. I missed a lot of fun times. I'd like,
(32:53):
I should have been drinking with those guys when I was,
you know, in high school and having fun, but instead,
you know, they would hide it from me. They they're like, oh,
the rest, we thought you'd be disappointed at us, because
I was like, you know, student.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Council and yeah, but you didn't miss out on its
fun and.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Ll I've made up for it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I mean like, yeah, I I didn't stay straight edge,
but but there were a lot of things because they
all went to spring break one year and uh, you know,
they were like they didn't want to tell me about
it because they knew I, you know, I didn't drink,
and they they didn't want me to tell my mom
and dad that they drank. It was all weird thing.
The high school thing with drinking was weird. But I
may or may not have been able to do it
(33:31):
at eighteen. I don't remember, because my whole gimmick was right.
I graduate eighty three. I remember what I'd be able
to drink. When I went on the cruise. On the
senior cruise, I did not drink, and everybody else did
because it was my thing. Why was that, I don't know,
because my dad didn't want My dad, my dad, the
Marine Corps dad, he was like, you're not drinking, boy.
(33:52):
You know, he didn't know drink any.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
The last of Marine Corps dads told their kids not
to drink. What do you think, specifically, why did that
sit with you? I did you see somebody drunk one
time as a kid?
Speaker 3 (34:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
No, no, no, I always I'm I always wanted to please
my parents, like like, I wanted to make my parents
proud of me. So we raised on praise right, like
I wanted to be. I wanted my parents to be
proud of me. If I drank, they wouldn't be proud
of me. If so, fact though, I'm not gonna drink
because I want him to be proud.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
What about your sister? Was she drinking?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, Carla was different. She was different than me. She
was partying with her friends and all that kind of stuff.
That was not her gimmick. That was that was just mine.
But I fell into it. So I kept it going
even after high school until that one trip down to
West Palm Beach, c Scott, I like, screw it, I'm
gona make him laugh, and I'll have a beer and
I was just gonna have one just to make him laugh.
(34:41):
Next thing, you know, I'm gonna six pack in dance
with the fact girl.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
After that, though, how long was it before you actually
had a drink in front of your parents?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Oh? Forever.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I always felt very uncomfortable drinking and told your dad that, like,
you had a drink, didn't.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I did not tell him, no, okay, no, I didn't
tell him and he didn't care.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Really I didn't do that thing like like hey, here
some and take a sip of this.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Never he did it with Bo. He did it with
the other guys that lived with us.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
You know. Uh my dad BO would.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Go get in beers and he'd have a beer. But
this was after Bo was old enough, right, But with
me it was not that way.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I remember my dad with my brother and I both,
he would like, uh, that was the thing. So like
if you got picked to go grabbed out of beer
you could get to you would get to open it
for him, and then he'd like, here, take a sip. And
then the whole reason rationale behind that was that here,
this is what this tastes like, so that you don't
go out looking or go out, you know, having to
sneak off or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You know, you know what you're doing. I know.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
It was so much of my personality growing up in
high school and stuff that even afterwards when I was
old enough, like he would drink with Ernie and Bo
and Tony and all those guys, but with me, it
was like, no, it was some weird thing. I was
maybe twenty eight before I felt comfortable drinking in front
of my parents.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Nerd. But I made up for it, guys, I mean,
you know.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
That's crazy. I learned a lot about Florida's drinking rules.
So when they changed it, they raised the drinking age
in eighty four and then again in eighty six, but
if you were eighteen in eighty four, they just grandfathered
you in, so like you could do that. That's what
a nightmare that must have been for Like the guy
working at the convenience store. You'd have to sit there
and like watch, yeah, you're like, okay, well you're on
(36:21):
you're eighteen, but are you in the grandfathered in date?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Oh, what a weird state. I can't imagine, Like like
being in high school and being able to be like
to my friend who's a senior high school like, hey,
can you just go get us the beers that you're
legally allowed to buy? That's crazy. I like that there
was a hoop you gotta jump through, right, I mean
I got my money stolen many times at the convenience
store trying to get hey, man, can you and get
us some beers? And they're like yeah, I'll be right back,
(36:45):
and then they never come back.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I remember my buddy's having their fake ID thing, and
I never had it useful one because I'm not drinking.
I'm not going to drink, like I never I never
had that experience, but I remember my my friends had
it bo for sure.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Somebody stole my wallet time and then they had my
idea and I guess they were going around UCF using
my ID as their fake ID.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
And then like if Buddy Miners, a bartender was like,
got this guy idea and he's like that's my friend.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
No, this is no, this is you cannot have this.
And later on that guy would become a famous country singer.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Yes, the Golden Locks, early Golden Locks, Allan Stone, All.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
It is Wednesday. It's a particularly good Wednesday for some reason.
I don't know why I'm such a good mood, but
I am. And it's a you know, tomorrow's already week
in leave. I can't believe though, you getting closer for
the weekend already. Uh, it's hum day. What prizes do
we have in the prize pinata to give out today?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Russ up?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
First, we got a para tickets see Chris Stapleton All
Chris Stapleton's All American Roads Show. We're special guest Laney
Wilson and Alan Stone. I'm not familiar with Alan Stone either,
very familiar with Laney.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah. I like Landy Wilson. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
And that's going down at Raymond James Stadium as well.
I'm very familiar with Chris Stapleton as well.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Question, have you seen Laney Wilson without a hat? I
think that's her gimmick. No, no, no, she wears hats.
Without a hat, she just looks like she looks like
I can't even recognize her. I only she looks like
any other woman in the world. When she doesn't have
a hat. She puts a hat on him, like, that's
Laney Wilson. There's hat off. It's like, I don't know
who she is. There's an era of Laney that I'm
(02:31):
way more a fan of.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Let's say the first album, that first era of hers
first tour, A very specific viral clip that's neither here
nor there. But I always thought her that the hat
was the gibbi because it really compliments her, the hat
and the bell bottoms or a gimmick. But when she
takes it wasn't like the name of her album, the
first one, something like that.

I am historians believe that people began serving this drink
sometime during the nineteenth century. The drink became popular when
vendor starts selling it at the public events event at the.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Nineteen four World's Fair.

So this is when it became really popular, and it
was this huge, big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh my god, you got to get one of these.
Name the drink Coca cola.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It is not Coca cola. Who do you want to help.
You've got Angel and you've got Ryan Ryan Ryan Holmes.
Ryan historians believe began in the nineteenth century. The drink
became really popular when vendor starts selling it at a
public event at the nineteen four World's Fair. It was
the big deal of the fair that year. Everybody had
to get one. Name the drink, man.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I feel like we've had this question before.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You have, Yeah, the World's Fair.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It was all the it's all the rage.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
See, gotta go get one, gotta go get.

Let's see that it's not gonna be Coca cola.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
She just said that, yeah, and I said it's not

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Nick?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Nick in here, buddy, Hey, hey Nick.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Historians believe it was the nineteenth century. The drink became
popular when Bender starts selling it at a public event
in the nineteen oh four World's Fair. It took over
the World's Fair. It was like the big deal all
over and there. They made news and everything. It was
this new drink that everybody was drinking.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Uh? Is it?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is it tea? What kind of tea? Nick? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Sweet tea?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Sweet tea is not the answer? Who you got angel
that can help you?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Angel?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
He's he's he's angel. He's right around the rim here.
But he hadn't making it in the hole. He's not
holding you. That sounds better.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Uh. Nineteen oh four World's Fair it was all the rage.
What kind of tea? And people hadn't heard of it before, Like,
oh my god, we got to get some.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
They put ice cubes in the tea, cancer.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
With iced iced tea was the that is the answer,
and it's okay, is it iced tea or is it
iced tea with the D at the end.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Of the We're pretty sure it's ice dashed tea. The
letter it is.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Not the people have been a big debate or whatever.
It's iced tea. So it's the iced iced tea. But yeah,
in the at the World's Fair, they were all freaking
out because everybody had always you know, the tea had
always been hot, hot tea, you know, that's it was
in England.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was a big deal, always been a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, the Brits have never forgiven us are putting ice
in then their tea.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But at the World's Fair for the first time, they
were like, come get their iced tea.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And people were freaking out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And that's funny to think that that would cause such
a commotion, you know, like iced tea like that.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's more that like ice was a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Uh maybe, you know, I don't know why it was
such a big deal. I looked it up this morning
and it was definitely the World's Fair in nineteen oh
four and everything that went on, you know, as far
as scientific advancements and everything. The lines for the iced
tea were it was such a big deal that it
made news, like in the World's Fair Iced tea is.
(09:05):
People couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I'll tell you what's dangerous drink that I drank the
other day for the first time. What I just like
Willie Nilly. Sometimes I'll just pick up a random you know,
alcoholic beverage, and they have Arizona hard ice green tea now,
and I've seen it, just like the green tea, the
regular green tea. And I was like crushing these things
(09:26):
and they're not carbonated. I like killed like three of
them super fast.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh you know what, I it's so funny that you
just said that.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I remember I went through a phase, just like I
went through a phase with the black Chyle drink. I
went through a phase with Lipten iced teas and a
can remember the Lipten iced teas and I drank. I
used to drink those things like like water. I mean
I drank them. I drank them for many, many years.
And then they don't even make that anymore, do they
Lipten iced tea.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I used to drink brisk I don't know if that's
the same thing, but like remember brisk They just brought
it back.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Can they come in cans?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
It did come in cans, its blue and yellow. Can
let me throw it up here?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah? Well, the Liptons were.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I remember lyfting. I had the powder, but not the.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Liptons came in cans and I would get it by
the cases man, and I thought, oh, I'm drinking nice tea.
This is healthy, of course, full of sugar. Terrible for me.
Uh they got a hard version of that, do they really?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah? Right, what's the liquor that they're using in that?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Because that's yeah, That's the other thing that I'm not
I'm starting to realize, not a bit huge fran of
is that they're using a.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Variation of mat liquor for all these kinds of drinks.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That one can was the one I used to drink
Ryan that we're right there, Yeah that one well, yeah, yeah,
lifting iced teas. God used to drink them. It's like four,
I know, so bad for me. Yeah, yeah, no, wonder

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now is that when you Is that when you moved
to central Florida or you just remember that for a
particular reason.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, that's when I moved over here.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Okay? And where where did you?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Where'd you come from?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Originally? California?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
California? Is that is? Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So I've only visited a California a handful of times.
It seems to be a lot sort of like Florida.
But Am I wrong? Was it a big change for you?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Uh, it's a it's a cultural change, it's it's a
weather change, of course, But overall it's it's just similar.
It's similar, just a lot more widespread.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, is that where you were brought? Like? What part
of California? Where are you're from?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Or Johnny just about ten minutes away from Disneyland? Or
if you've ever been to nuts Berry Farm, that's my
homeless city, I'll be damn.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, I've never been to Disneyland. Obviously, I grew
up in Orlando, so it's always been disney World. And
everyone says that it's a lot smaller. Is that pretty accurate?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
It's true, it's very I mean it's very much smaller.
You know, they the first time they ever did it,
they had a lot less land to work with, not
like here in Florida where you have all the swamp
land that they were able to build on. But yeah,
it's a lot more compact. So thinking about going to
the parks here, it takes you know a couple of
days where you can maybe three or four days where
you can do the parks there in max Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I can imagine if you were there as a kid.
Is that in the more nostalgia? Like, for you, do
you like Disneyland better because that's what you grew up knowing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Or or not?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well really into that. I worked for Disney for ten years.
It was my first job out of high school. Oh wow,
the nostalgia's there, and yes it's smaller, but you have
to realize that it's it's the original, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I've always wanted to go
to it just because I've you know, I've I grew
up going to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Uh so I've always wanted to check it out.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I don't okay. I always assumed Disney was in the middle,
like how we have it here where it's away from things.
And I'm looking at Disney and I'm looking at Nottsbury
Farms the middle of like it's in the middle of
the f in l A. Yeah, that's crazy, middle of
the city. Yeah, there's buildings and all kinds of Snotsberry
Farm sounds like it would be like af On, like
you know, out in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
First of all, I thought Notsberry Farm until just now
was in like North Carolina. What the hell is Notsberry Farm.
It's just a theme park.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Park in LA so they call it America's first theme park. Actually,
and a fun fact, you guys have all been to
Halloween horror Ife here at Universal Studios. Yeah, not Scary Farm.
Not Scary Farm is the origin of Halloween Hornets. That's
where they took the idea from the Bill and Ted's
(16:05):
comedy show where they used to kill people all that
good stuff. Yeah, that came from the hanging at not
Sperry Farm or not Scary Farm. That's the origination where
I came from.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I'll be damn. So you said you worked for a
disney Land for many many years. What did you do
when you were there?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So I worked in entertainment. I smiled and waved and
danced and parades and mild princely and did shows and
did a whole bunch of other things.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So over there, I bet you he probably ran into
a lot of celebrities there, didn't you.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I've ran into a couple I have gone called Van
dam was one of my favorites. And then I have
a fun story that I got to kick. Uh the
voice of Woody off a ride.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well, the voice of Woody is Tom Hanks, So.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah, that happened.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Why did you ride?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Why would you kick the voice?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
So when I was nineteen, I was working the ride
Big Thunder Mountain, and there came one of the VIP
tour guys with a young kid. Had no idea who
he was, and he stood up on the ride. And
of course, when you stand up on the ride, you
run the risk of possibly injuring yourself and others. And
so we gave him a warning. We said, if you
come back and you stand up on the ride again,
(17:24):
we're gonna have to stop the ride and we're gonna
have remove it from the park. Well, he came back
again with his father.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Come, Hanks, I'll be damn.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
It was the It was the one that was not
the nice one.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Oh yeah, kat Faker whatever he calls himself. I forget
what you had to kick him? How was he when
he kicked him off? Was he was he pleasant or
was he mad?
Speaker 4 (17:48):
So he was he was pleasant with us, but he
was he was angry at his son.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Sure he was like he was.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Fully apologetic to to to us. But then of course
once he apologized to us, he looked with that he said, son,
we're going home, and he apologized us and then they left.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Famously, Steve Martin worked there. Now, probably not when you
were there, though, because you sound a lot younger than that.
But did you ever run into Steve Martin at Disneyland?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Steve Martin, So his original job was, I mean spos
To went and open I believe, I mean it's actually
opened fifty five. So I believe he worked there in
the seventies and worked there starting in two thousand and two. Okay, yeah,
he worked in the Magic Cup.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
That's true. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool man.
Well that's awesome. What do you do for a living now?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Nick?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Work for Tom Hanks.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
So I do a bunch of different things though pretty
much sales overall. I do a lot of travel sales.
I used to work in the travel industry. I work
in the travel industry. I used to do real estate
as I have my hands on a.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Lot of different So when you say travel industry now,
I mean, you know you're not like a travel agent.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So I worked I worked in cruise ship sales. Ill
sell cruise bak agents basically.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Okay, all right? Is that?
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Is that difficult these days with all of the news
we see about you know, cruise ship, people getting sick
and other things happening on on cruise ships. Is it
more difficult now or what I've seen is the cruise
industry is up even though those things have happened.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You know, there's a lot of things. There's a lot
of people that like stay with the politics that are
happening in the US. A lot of Canadians don't want
to come into the US. And then there's of course
everything that's happening over in Europe and like Egypt and
Gaza and all that good stuff. Not good stuff, but
so people are weirdy to go to certain locations, and
some some countries don't want to come to the US
(19:36):
at all because of you know, politics. Yeah. But other
than that, you know, people are still cruising. There's still
I mean, people spend a lot of money young cruises
man a lot of money on cruises.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Nick helped me out here.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I got a friend of mine who I know would
have a good time if he went on a damn cruise,
but I can't talk him into it because he's convinced
that it's not for him. That he you know, I
don't know what I got another reason, he just like
I don't want to go whine because you get hear
people get sick on the ground. How would you tell
a friend of mine that might be listening right now
(20:09):
that he would enjoy a cruise.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Sometimes there's bibs depending on what cruise line you go on.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yet no, honestly cruising. I was an avid cruiser before
I started working in the cruise industry. I worked on
board cruise ships for almost ten years. Cruising is the
best way to travel in my aspect my thought process,
because number one, if you travel somewhere, you have to
pay for a hotel. Then when you pay for the hotel,
you have to pay for food, Then you have to
pay for entertainment. Then you had to pay for destinations
(20:39):
wherever you go, and then you're only stuck into one place.
You know, you get to navigate that one place. But
on a cruise, you wake up in a different location
every single day. Yeah, and then the entertainment's paid for.
It's all in one. You have somebody that cleans your
room every day, you have somebody that you know feeds
you every day. You're not going to go away starved.
You have different type of food that you can try.
(21:03):
One of the big things about cruising is that people,
you know, they order when they go to the restaurant
for dinner, they order one entree and they're like, well,
I didn't really like it. Who cares if you don't
like it? They they don't like it, send it back
and order something else.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Get another way.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Angel, we're talking to you right now. Angel, I'm telling you,
this guy's letting you know it would be and you
to think. You get drunk, you stumble back to your room.
You don't have to drink and drive. You get to gamble, you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Get to you can stumble overboard. Now, Nick, just real
quick overbo.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
If you've never if you've never ever ever done one
of these things, what would be a good like entry
level cruise that wouldn't be too overwhelming, just like the
the the right amount of days, because like that's what
everyone's been telling me, Like, hey, listen, dude, don't let
(21:55):
your first cruise be one of these ones that's like
five days, because you're gonna hate it. Uh So, what's
a good like for four days? Like a good even
maybe the right cruise line and the right amount of days.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
So really and truly, I mean it all depends on
you know, your type of style. But what what great
entry level cruise cruise line is either Royal Fabian or Norwegian. Yep,
those are the Creme dela creme.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
You know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Royal Sabian is the one that I used to work
for a three or four A crew out of Port
Canaveral on one of their big shifts. So you can
see the mega shift. And when you think of mega shift,
you think of a lot of people. But also the
size of the ship matters. So I worked on the
mega shifts and they have upwards of seven thousand people
(22:43):
on them. But because they're so big, you don't see
the seven thousand people. You may see one person once
and never see them again.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
So three or four A crews make sure to get
the beverage packaged and just have a blast. Go to
like their private island Cococae literally Orlando Cococaine back on
the three or four day cruise used to be you
should be golden.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, I think you would love it. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Ryan questioned for I like this guy, Nick the cruise guy,
Nick the cruise guy.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
When you were I got a question of follow up
question question one, what did you do on the cruise ship?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I was?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I was an assistant cruise director, number one assistant cruise director. Okay,
so you got your like the fun party guy.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah, I was the guy in charge of all the activities,
the game shows, all that good stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Okay, because that's that's my follow up question. Is this
like as a I'm assuming white dude, right, white American guy? No,
these guys don't exist on the cruise ship like it's
it's seriously, They're few and far between. What was your
experience like being, you know, a white American guy on
the ship. I know you're in like a position of
(23:50):
basically power and management at that point, but how was
it for you in.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
What aspect and a guest?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
I mean just like like because most of the staff
is going to be from various countries that aren't the US, right,
So is there like a is there what's this culture
like behind the scenes?
Speaker 4 (24:13):
So the culture is actually fantastic. So I always said
that if if the world should take a little piece
of the culture that you have on cru ships, because
there was, the world will be a better place if
if literally I worked with anywhere from fifty to sixty
five different nationalities on board these ships every single day,
(24:35):
all of them spoke English because they had to to
work on board, and really and truly you learn so
much about culture. Everyone's friendly, everyone gets gets on together.
They all the workers. They work exponentially hard, but they
also party harder.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, because you're working like ten to twelve hour days, right.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
The some workers work in in between. I mean, you
could work as a little as you know, four hours
a day, but you could work as long as twelve hours.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Yet, so it's not like, I think this sounds crazy,
but it's not like prisons, right, We're like, Okay, the
Filipinos hang out with the Filipinos and the Romanians. They
got their own set, so it's like cruise ship gangs.
But it sounds like everybody just gets along.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I mean there are some you know, nationalities, because the
major nationalities that work on board are three different major nationalities,
which is Filipinos, Indonesians and Indians. Those are three main
main nationalities that work on board. And do they hang
out with each other, of course, but a lot of them,
you know, we all branch out, we all hang out
with everybody. Everyone's one big happy family. But of course,
(25:39):
you know, I mean the Filipinos have their they call
it the Filipino mafia on board. If you need something done,
you need to grab something, go talk to the one
of the Philipino mafias. I'll get see anything.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Hey, Nick, what would you like to plug and promote? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I got to give you time to do that, all right, No,
you know what, I'm not really plugging anything. I am.
Actually I've been sitting in the gym parking waiting to
talk to you guys. And if we're talking, if you
mentioned ptil Feiffer and how much better physical stape he's
got in, I want to just say, take care of
your body. It's the one place you have to live.
(26:13):
Over the past four years, I've lost thirty five pounds
ever since worth getting off of cruise ships because food
for fruit is really oily and kind of from other countries.
So I've kind of gotten the worst physical escape that
I possibly could have been in, and now I'm in
the best physical shape that you could be in. It's
not easy. It takes you go day by day and
(26:35):
each day that you show up as a win.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
There you go. Well, I've really enjoyed talking to you, Nick.
I got a question too. Okay, he's got to go
to the gym guys, just real fast questions. Go ahead
ask him.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Hold on, why is the Indian food so much better
than the standard food at the buffet.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Because all the stuff are Indians?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
I know.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
See, I didn't want to say that, but I feel
like that was the answer.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Thank you, Angel. Question for Nick.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
The all the all the all the senior tests are
all the senior jefts, and usually like the higher end
jests are all Indians. The the entry level stets are
usually Filipino for some reason.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't know, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
What would okay on your recommendation the three to four
day crews? I got you?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Now?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Uh, I'm six foot seven? What do I need to
make sure? Like if I'm trying to book one of
the cabins, like, are there cabins that are going to
be better accommodated for my height?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
N unless you're going to go into a high end suite.
Pretty much both. Pretty much all state rooms come in
two two twin beds that get put together to make
a queen. So getting an extension for you being six
seven is going to be hard. Sometimes they might have them.
You can ask in request when you do book your crew,
(27:59):
but pretty much all the state grums are going to
be the same. Gotch what I would highly recommend unless
you want to be like with some people, you know
they like going like an interior room, but that some
people might feel claustrophobic when doing that. I highly highly
recommend going with the balcony, at least just because it's
honestly waking up and going to sleep, the waste cracting,
(28:22):
having a cup of coffee and breakfast on your balcony.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's awesome, a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
And then if you're bringing someone with you, extracurricular activities
are also fun.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, he's right about that. Yet, if you can, it's
a lot. It's extra. It's a little bit extra to
get the balcony. But I've been in the room where
it's just you go into a hole, you know, and
then you know at the bottom of the boat, and
then I've been in the room with the with a
balcony at balcony is infinitely better.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You don't afterwards, you don't even remember saying balcony though.
Is it like just a window or.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Store. You walk out on the balcony and be out there.
It's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's really what's to stop you from jumping over nothing,
just w'd be crazy, an insane person. Just use the
balcony like a normal person and bang on it. Yeah,
there you go like everybody else. Yeah, Nick, thank you.
But I really enjoyed talking to you. I appreciate it, buddy, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Guy, you have a great day, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Take care.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
One last thing. Yeah, when booking, when when booking your balcony,
make to that you're not close enough to the bridge,
which is to the front of the tip, usually on
Dick deck nine or ten, because they do have cameras
that look back.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh that's right, they do. You're right about that.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It's a road tip right there. There's a proast there. Hi, buddy,
thank you so much. All right, we're gonna take a
little break. Don't go anywhere more more big dumb fun
when we come back. You're listening to them off for
the morning.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Real Radio is on Instagram at Real Radio one O four.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
A bunch of people who are trying to uh, I
don't call me out or whatever about Oh it's not true.
Back in eighty four you could drink when you were
twenty one what was it again, Like you could drink
when you were eighteen or something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
In Florida.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
You could drink at nineteen all the way up to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, so, and they asked why didn't you Why didn't
you drink then? So at that time I had like
it was sort of a gimmick of mine that I
didn't drink.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So I just straight edge, Bro.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I was very straight edge, and to the point where
even my friends would hide it from me. If my
friends would drink, they would, they would, they wouldn't let
me know because they thought I'd be upset with them.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Were you having the sex? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Okay, so not straight edge then, right?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Not drinking was your gimmick?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, tenth grade with my girlfriend? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
we get it. Bro, your name yea yeah. But but
I didn't drink, and I was known for the guy
that didn't drink, right, So it was I had a gimmick,
and I stuck with a gimmick for a while, even
after I graduated from high school.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So people were like, oh, you could have drank. What
was your first experience drinking? Like them?
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Did you get drunk the first time?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I remember it very well. I was at already graduated
from high school.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I went down to see my buddy Scott Hawkster, who
was a bouncer at the Banana Boat in West Balm Beach.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So, so I was staying with him and he's like,
you want to come to work. I'm you know, you
can come to work with me and hang out Like
that's fine. So and I used to love to make
him laugh. He'd make me laugh. We you know, he's
just a good dude.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And so he's doing his bouncing business and I go, hey,
I'm gonna have a beer and he's like, Okay, you're
grown up.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You can if you want to.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
And so I had a cors Light and then I
had another cors Light and then I had another cors
Light in a burger and I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Gonna dance with that fat girl.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
And so to make my buddy Scott Hawkster laugh, I
went and danced with his fat girl all night long?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
And uh, what did it feel like for you? Did
you feel? I was? I was?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I was like, why have I Why have I not
been drinking all this time? I've been this stick of
the lot. Everybody's been hiding it from me. And I
had a I think I had like a six pack
of cors Light.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Or no, it was regular course because I remember because
I remember saying it was the what's their gimmick?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's like banquet the bank. Yeah, banquet beer.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I'm drinking a banquet beer and uh and my buddy,
I just remember looking over Scott shaking his head because
you know, he was sober. He was bouncing and I'm
dancing Dan with the Factor all night long.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
It was fun.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You probably did yourself a real favor inadvertently, though, because
like there's all this research that's come out now that
says like, if you you know, the kids that drink it,
really it really affects their brain, uh, for the for
the rest of their life. So like, your memory is
pretty bad now, imagine if you, like you were drinking,
it could have it could have messed it up a
little bit more.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
At a young Well you know what I think afterwards
to be This is not a public service announcement. I
am just telling you that afterwards, when I started drinking,
I'm like, man, all the all the times I missed
with my friends when everybody was going on, they would
go to certain things and they would they would go drinking,
and they do it without me. They because they didn't
want me to know, because I thought I'd be upset
with them. I missed a lot of fun times. I'd like,
(32:53):
I should have been drinking with those guys when I was,
you know, in high school and having fun, but instead,
you know, they would hide it from me. They they're like, oh,
the rest, we thought you'd be disappointed at us, because
I was like, you know, student.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Council and yeah, but you didn't miss out on its
fun and.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Ll I've made up for it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I mean like, yeah, I I didn't stay straight edge,
but but there were a lot of things because they
all went to spring break one year and uh, you know,
they were like they didn't want to tell me about
it because they knew I, you know, I didn't drink,
and they they didn't want me to tell my mom
and dad that they drank. It was all weird thing.
The high school thing with drinking was weird. But I
may or may not have been able to do it
(33:31):
at eighteen. I don't remember, because my whole gimmick was right.
I graduate eighty three. I remember what I'd be able
to drink. When I went on the cruise. On the
senior cruise, I did not drink, and everybody else did
because it was my thing. Why was that, I don't know,
because my dad didn't want My dad, my dad, the
Marine Corps dad, he was like, you're not drinking, boy.
(33:52):
You know, he didn't know drink any.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
The last of Marine Corps dads told their kids not
to drink. What do you think, specifically, why did that
sit with you? I did you see somebody drunk one
time as a kid?
Speaker 3 (34:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
No, no, no, I always I'm I always wanted to please
my parents, like like, I wanted to make my parents
proud of me. So we raised on praise right, like
I wanted to be. I wanted my parents to be
proud of me. If I drank, they wouldn't be proud
of me. If so, fact though, I'm not gonna drink
because I want him to be proud.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
What about your sister? Was she drinking?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, Carla was different. She was different than me. She
was partying with her friends and all that kind of stuff.
That was not her gimmick. That was that was just mine.
But I fell into it. So I kept it going
even after high school until that one trip down to
West Palm Beach, c Scott, I like, screw it, I'm
gona make him laugh, and I'll have a beer and
I was just gonna have one just to make him laugh.
(34:41):
Next thing, you know, I'm gonna six pack in dance
with the fact girl.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
After that, though, how long was it before you actually
had a drink in front of your parents?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Oh? Forever.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I always felt very uncomfortable drinking and told your dad that, like,
you had a drink, didn't.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I did not tell him, no, okay, no, I didn't
tell him and he didn't care.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Really I didn't do that thing like like hey, here
some and take a sip of this.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Never he did it with Bo. He did it with
the other guys that lived with us.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
You know. Uh my dad BO would.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Go get in beers and he'd have a beer. But
this was after Bo was old enough, right, But with
me it was not that way.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I remember my dad with my brother and I both,
he would like, uh, that was the thing. So like
if you got picked to go grabbed out of beer
you could get to you would get to open it
for him, and then he'd like, here, take a sip. And
then the whole reason rationale behind that was that here,
this is what this tastes like, so that you don't
go out looking or go out, you know, having to
sneak off or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
You know, you know what you're doing. I know.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
It was so much of my personality growing up in
high school and stuff that even afterwards when I was
old enough, like he would drink with Ernie and Bo
and Tony and all those guys, but with me, it
was like, no, it was some weird thing. I was
maybe twenty eight before I felt comfortable drinking in front
of my parents.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Nerd. But I made up for it, guys, I mean,
you know.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
That's crazy. I learned a lot about Florida's drinking rules.
So when they changed it, they raised the drinking age
in eighty four and then again in eighty six, but
if you were eighteen in eighty four, they just grandfathered
you in, so like you could do that. That's what
a nightmare that must have been for Like the guy
working at the convenience store. You'd have to sit there
and like watch, yeah, you're like, okay, well you're on
(36:21):
you're eighteen, but are you in the grandfathered in date?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Oh, what a weird state. I can't imagine, Like like
being in high school and being able to be like
to my friend who's a senior high school like, hey,
can you just go get us the beers that you're
legally allowed to buy? That's crazy. I like that there
was a hoop you gotta jump through, right, I mean
I got my money stolen many times at the convenience
store trying to get hey, man, can you and get
us some beers? And they're like yeah, I'll be right back,
(36:45):
and then they never come back.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I remember my buddy's having their fake ID thing, and
I never had it useful one because I'm not drinking.
I'm not going to drink, like I never I never
had that experience, but I remember my my friends had
it bo for sure.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Somebody stole my wallet time and then they had my
idea and I guess they were going around UCF using
my ID as their fake ID.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Oh really.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
And then like if Buddy Miners, a bartender was like,
got this guy idea and he's like that's my friend.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
No, this is no, this is you cannot have this.
And later on that guy would become a famous country singer.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Yes, the Golden Locks, early Golden Locks, Allan Stone, All.
