- 0:19Speaker 1: some people. You should get an email if you're one
- 0:21Speaker 1: of those that made the final cut. And to the
- 0:23Speaker 1: person that emailed me and said, I know your mom
- 0:25Speaker 1: has passed, but when are you going to make that decision?
- 0:27Speaker 1: You are not going to be chosen.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Are you freaking kidding me?
- 0:31Speaker 1: You know who you are. It's a poor choice. Just understand.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Nothing personal. Yeah, you're out. Nothing personal. We're very compassionate.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I walked in this morning and feeling a little out
- 0:41Speaker 1: of sort. And there's a big basket on my desk
- 0:43Speaker 1: from Brian and Ray. with all of my favorite things.
- 0:45Speaker 1: And I said, you know what? I've been strong, and
- 0:47Speaker 1: I almost start crying again. I said, no, I'm good.
- 0:50Speaker 1: So that's the type of show you have. If you
- 0:52Speaker 1: want to bring that kind of energy, we want you.
- 0:54Speaker 1: If you want to bring that energy, I'm sorry about
- 0:56Speaker 1: your mama, man, but when y'all going to make that call,
- 0:57Speaker 1: you're not getting it.
- 0:58Speaker 2: That's very, what about my baby? It's very at those
- 1:02Speaker 2: same lines.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I know you're dealing with some stuff. What they got
- 1:06Speaker 1: to do about that joint y'all going to make? My
- 1:08Speaker 1: jokes are just piling up over here, and you're wasting them.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I read it. I was like, wow, really? Okay. No,
- 1:18Speaker 1: not going to happen. I was home for the last
- 1:20Speaker 1: couple of days and I saw a bunch of family.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I have a nickname. Well, it's not really a nickname.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I have like three different names. Okay. My family calls
- 1:28Speaker 1: me Chris. So if I ever talk to someone, my
- 1:31Speaker 1: nieces and nephews call me Uncle Chris. If I know
- 1:34Speaker 1: you call me Chris, my mind already clicks to family.
- 1:38Speaker 1: My real name is John. And if somebody calls me, John,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I know that you are a close friend. And my
- 1:43Speaker 1: mind clicks to that. And then you got Johnny is
- 1:46Speaker 1: who makes a living and pays the bills in my house. OK,
- 1:49Speaker 1: so when I went home, I was talking to my
- 1:52Speaker 1: brother in law. He said he was talking to someone.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Then he goes, the guy said, yeah, I came here
- 1:57Speaker 1: to support my boy, Johnny. And my brother was like,
- 2:00Speaker 1: who's Johnny? I said, that's me. Your name's Johnny? I
- 2:07Speaker 1: thought you were Chris. I am Chris. Chris is what
- 2:10Speaker 1: y'all call me. John is my real name. So, to me,
- 2:19Speaker 1: it's always been that way. It's not weird that, like,
- 2:23Speaker 1: even my girl won't call me. She can't call me Chris.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Because she doesn't know me as that. Right. If she
- 2:27Speaker 1: started calling me Chris, the family would be like, Wait
- 2:30Speaker 1: a minute now.
- 2:31Speaker 2: And I'm sure she doesn't call you Johnny.
- 2:32Speaker 1: No, no, no. So she calls me John. That kind
- 2:36Speaker 1: of thing. So I do that. So I want to
- 2:37Speaker 1: find out if anybody else had a nickname. That's a
- 2:39Speaker 1: good one. There's some there's somebody who has a nickname
- 2:42Speaker 1: and it was a Spanish word for big or Gita
- 2:45Speaker 1: or something like that. And I said, what does that mean?
- 2:48Speaker 1: She said, when I was a little kid, I was
- 2:49Speaker 1: kind of chubby. And my family kept that name. And
- 2:53Speaker 1: I was like, wow. But it's one of those names
- 2:56Speaker 1: that if you had it, it's always been a part
- 2:57Speaker 1: of you. And that's just how it is.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And my name is just Chris. And it's weird even
- 3:03Speaker 1: saying it on the air because it doesn't sound right.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Where you got a nickname when you were growing up?
- 3:07Speaker 4: So, like, all my cousins call me San. Because my...
- 3:11Speaker 4: like full name is Cassandra, but they call me Sandra
- 3:14Speaker 4: or they'll call me son.
- 3:15Speaker 1: How weird would it be if your friends start calling
- 3:17Speaker 1: you that?
- 3:17Speaker 2: I would be like, no.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Isn't that weird? Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 4: So, and yeah, so they just call me son, cousin
- 3:25Speaker 4: son or whatever, but that's, that's pretty much it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's always been that way though.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:28Speaker 4: It's always been like that. My grandpa used to call
- 3:30Speaker 4: me bacala, which is like, which means fish in Italian.
- 3:35Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.
- 3:36Speaker 2: But like, he just like, he would just call me Bacala.
- 3:40Speaker 4: And so like, that's just like another nickname that he
- 3:43Speaker 4: had for like his grandkids.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And I'm like, why does he call us fish?
- 3:47Speaker 4: When I got older, but it just like rhymed for
- 3:50Speaker 4: him for really.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:52Speaker 5: No, we never had any, like, I mean, my, I,
- 3:55Speaker 5: They called me Peanut on my soccer team when I
- 3:57Speaker 5: was a kid, but my family never called me that.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I've always just been. So with the soccer team,
- 4:01Speaker 1: so did the nickname just die with them? Yeah, it
- 4:04Speaker 1: never got outside of that. Yeah, no. They would never
- 4:08Speaker 1: just call me by my name. So if you were
- 4:09Speaker 1: out somewhere and you saw one of your teammates that
- 4:13Speaker 1: you hadn't seen in years, and they go, yo, Peanut,
- 4:15Speaker 1: you were like.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Oh god yeah and they probably wouldn't even remember at
- 4:19Speaker 5: this point no really I had friend groups that called
- 4:22Speaker 5: me nicknames but I never had my family never did
- 4:24Speaker 5: really yeah they called me like some of my friends
- 4:27Speaker 5: called me cornflake when I was in high school but
- 4:29Speaker 5: um I never had a family member like now some
- 4:32Speaker 5: of my friends that are like family to me call
- 4:34Speaker 5: me B but that's.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yeah yeah I call you B yeah Here's the thing.
- 4:37Speaker 1: If I, you guys, I started radio when everybody had
- 4:40Speaker 1: that cool radio name. Yes. If I wouldn't, I would
- 4:42Speaker 1: use my name, my real name. It'd have been John. Yeah.
- 4:45Speaker 1: You know, just John, but, but I had to have
- 4:46Speaker 1: that radio name.
- 4:47Speaker 5: I got in after they stopped that. So I kept my,
- 4:50Speaker 5: and I was doing a standup and stuff at the time.
- 4:52Speaker 5: So I'm like, I want my name to be on everything.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Because if I do blow up in something, I want
- 4:56Speaker 1: it on everything. And I've mentioned this a million times
- 4:59Speaker 1: on the air. I said, if I can, if I
- 5:01Speaker 1: could have picked my own radio name, it'd have been daddy. No, no.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I've said that a million times. I know.
- 5:08Speaker 4: But, like, the fact that you're still standing by, that
- 5:11Speaker 4: blows my mind.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Man, y'all listen to Daddy in the Morning. Come on, now.
- 5:16Speaker 1: But I didn't get that choice.
- 5:17Speaker 5: It was always alliteration for a while there. So I
- 5:19Speaker 5: would have been like, Brian O'Brien. Or something like that.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Because that would be witty.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Brian O'Brien. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Those are the people making decisions. Yeah.
- 5:31Speaker 1: They had a meeting. And I'm sitting there. They ain't
- 5:33Speaker 1: letting me pick it. Now here I am, 38 years later.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Yeah, our program director just didn't like my name.
- 5:39Speaker 1: He did what?
- 5:40Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like, what's your middle name?
- 5:41Speaker 1: I'm like, Ray.
- 5:42Speaker 2: And he's like, we're going with that. Isn't that amazing?
- 5:45Speaker 1: Just because we want a job, we let people just
- 5:46Speaker 1: change their names.
- 5:47Speaker 4: Cool.

- 10:44Speaker 1: I mean, I would just stick with Dakota. They could
- 10:46Speaker 1: throw the D-E-A in there.
- 10:47Speaker 4: And then John said that his nickname was Farmer Boy.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Farmer Boy.

- 11:24Speaker 1: That's going to be your nickname.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Yep.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I'm going to leave it as that. Someone said, my oldest,
- 11:28Speaker 1: we call him Nug or Nugget. Okay. Because he was born,

- 11:38Speaker 1: Orlando's number one hit music station on a Monday is
- 11:41Speaker 1: Johnny's house. Mostly sunny, 60% chance of rain. 91 is
- 11:45Speaker 1: a high. It is 76 right now. I want to
- 11:47Speaker 1: take a minute and say thank you for everyone who
- 11:49Speaker 1: reached out through social media. I mean, there was so
- 11:54Speaker 1: many of you that sent flowers to the uh, for
- 12:00Speaker 1: my mom that it was, I mean, the, the live
- 12:03Speaker 1: stream team. Thank you. I'm reading cards and I'm like,
- 12:06Speaker 1: my sister's like, who's a live stream team. I said, it's,
- 12:09Speaker 1: it's Orlando love. Uh, so many of you reached out
- 12:12Speaker 1: through social media. My family read them. I mean, I
- 12:14Speaker 1: guess I'm used to, uh, you guys expressing that kind
- 12:17Speaker 1: of love for us and what we do, but my
- 12:19Speaker 1: family had never seen anything like that. And during a
- 12:21Speaker 1: time where, you know, you know, I'm, I mean, both
- 12:24Speaker 1: of my parents are gone. And I'm sure a lot
- 12:26Speaker 1: of you have dealt with that or dealing with that, too.
- 12:28Speaker 1: It brings comfort to know that there was so much
- 12:30Speaker 1: love and so many people that were praying for me
- 12:33Speaker 1: and my family. It's kind of the roughest day of
- 12:35Speaker 1: your life. I was telling Brian the other day, I said, man,
- 12:37Speaker 1: I need to come back. I'm tired of being sad.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And it's something that's going to stick with you forever.
- 12:41Speaker 1: But the love that you guys have reached out, Brian
- 12:44Speaker 1: and Ray, y'all kicked ass up in here. I mean,
- 12:45Speaker 1: you did your thing. We tried. And that's what we do.
- 12:48Speaker 1: You know, I didn't feel like I need to get back.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I need to get back. They're like, who's doing the show?
- 12:52Speaker 1: I said, Brian and Ray, they got it. They got it.
- 12:56Speaker 1: And everybody that reached out, some of you who I know,
- 12:58Speaker 1: some of you who don't, some who took planes to
- 13:01Speaker 1: come down and see the service. And I can, you know,
- 13:05Speaker 1: I look back on my life and say, I must
- 13:06Speaker 1: be doing something right for that. So many people just
- 13:08Speaker 1: take a moment out of their time in their life to,
- 13:11Speaker 1: you know, give their thoughts and their prayers to a
- 13:14Speaker 1: woman that they've never met, but they heard and feel
- 13:16Speaker 1: like they knew her from the way that I talked
- 13:18Speaker 1: about her.
- 13:18Speaker 3: So.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You know, it's a chapter in my life that is,
- 13:21Speaker 1: that's closed and I have to learn to live like
- 13:24Speaker 1: a lot of you have that, you know, without that,
- 13:26Speaker 1: I got a lot of stuff to do. I got
- 13:27Speaker 1: a house. Yeah. They read the will and I get it.
- 13:31Speaker 1: I get everything. So, um, I just want to take
- 13:34Speaker 1: a moment on the air and just say thank you.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Cause there's no way that I could reach out to
- 13:37Speaker 1: everyone who's reached out to us, uh, reached out to
- 13:40Speaker 1: my family, reached out to me who spent money on
- 13:42Speaker 1: flowers and, uh, that were delivered. I mean, it was,
- 13:45Speaker 1: it was a beautiful thing. So, I just want to
- 13:47Speaker 1: say thank you for the love that you've always shown me.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Just know that you get that love back from me
- 13:51Speaker 1: to you every time we get up and do this show.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So thank you. And I'm going to dwell on this
- 13:56Speaker 1: from this point on. That's all you hear about it
- 13:59Speaker 1: from me. We'll move on and I'll start learning to
- 14:02Speaker 1: live my life without my mom. Other than that, let's
- 14:05Speaker 1: get back to having fun. OK, but I just want
- 14:07Speaker 1: to take a minute and say thank you. I think
- 14:09Speaker 1: you guys deserve that and more. And if I could
- 14:12Speaker 1: reach out to all of you, it would take a
- 14:13Speaker 1: couple of days. of non-stop writing back. All right. Just
- 14:17Speaker 1: want to say that and let's get back to doing
- 14:18Speaker 1: what we do. We come back. We'll talk about how
- 14:20Speaker 1: much do you really know? How much do you really,
- 14:22Speaker 1: really know about your coworkers? We'll talk about that next
- 14:25Speaker 1: on Johnny's house. It is Johnny's house. Expect some rain
- 14:28Speaker 1: this afternoon. A 60% chance of that. 91 is the
- 14:30Speaker 1: high 76 and it's going to be mostly sunny today. Ray,
- 14:34Speaker 1: you want to ask the question of what?
- 14:36Speaker 4: Um, how well do you know your coworkers or like
- 14:39Speaker 4: how little do you know?
- 14:40Speaker 1: 407-919-1067-877-919-1067. All right, we'll start with you. How little or...
- 14:48Speaker 1: Or how much do you know?
- 14:50Speaker 4: Obviously, with you guys, it's pretty much like we know
- 14:53Speaker 4: almost everything that's going on in our personal lives and
- 14:56Speaker 4: at work and all that.
- 14:57Speaker 2: So I think we're pretty fortunate to have that kind
- 15:00Speaker 2: of bond just because we have a better understanding. Outside
- 15:04Speaker 2: of this room, I feel like there's maybe....
- 15:08Speaker 4: One or two people that I know like what's also
- 15:11Speaker 4: going on in their lives.
- 15:13Speaker 2: And so, but other than that, it's kind of just like, hey.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Well, you're better than me because I know us. And
- 15:19Speaker 1: outside this room, no one. Yeah. Nothing. Maybe Jeremy, but
- 15:23Speaker 1: as much as he tells me, I mean, y'all know that.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:26Speaker 1: But anybody else deep inside their lives? No. Yeah.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I just can't imagine going to work and not being
- 15:32Speaker 4: able to vent to some of my coworkers or not
- 15:34Speaker 4: knowing anything else of what's going on in their lives
- 15:37Speaker 4: because it's so surfaced.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, see, we spend four hours of venting every day. Yeah.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Pretty much. Every single day. Me and Johnny got about
- 15:45Speaker 1: 20 minutes first thing in the morning. Let it go.
- 15:47Speaker 1: We just unload on everything. Let it go. Yeah. Today
- 15:50Speaker 1: would have been 30 minutes. But outside of this, I mean,
- 15:55Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. There's cool people here that work here.
- 15:58Speaker 1: There's some people- uh that that uh work in our
- 16:00Speaker 1: sales department i really really like i like a lot
- 16:02Speaker 1: but we don't we are we're never put in an
- 16:04Speaker 1: environment outside of work and i think if we were
- 16:08Speaker 1: maybe we would become better friends if we had but
- 16:11Speaker 1: the people that i know here we meet here in
- 16:12Speaker 1: the office we meet we talk they'll tell me this
- 16:15Speaker 1: i'll ask them that and everybody's cool and move on
- 16:18Speaker 1: but as far as What's happening in their lives? What's
- 16:20Speaker 1: happening with their kids? Are they married? You know, me?
- 16:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, obviously in here, we know a lot
- 16:27Speaker 5: about each other. Outside of that, a lot of the
- 16:30Speaker 5: stuff that I know isn't verified information.
- 16:34Speaker 1: A lot of it's secondhand.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Hearsay.
- 16:37Speaker 1: See, that's more than I get. I don't get secondhand.
- 16:39Speaker 1: I get no gossip. I get no rumors. I get nothing.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I guess you could use the term no very loosely.
- 16:44Speaker 5: I think I know based on what someone has said,
- 16:47Speaker 5: but I don't know if it's fact.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I just hear a lot of stuff. I don't know
- 16:51Speaker 1: why people tell me stuff, but they do. I hear
- 16:53Speaker 1: a lot of stuff.
- 16:54Speaker 4: Probably because you openly vent about a lot of things,
- 16:57Speaker 4: so people probably feel comfortable about venting to you.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I guess, but.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Mine is so safe. When I say it out loud,
- 17:05Speaker 5: it's already calculated in my head. I know where to stop.
- 17:08Speaker 5: I know what to not say.
- 17:09Speaker 1: So when you say it, it's not something that if
- 17:10Speaker 1: somebody repeated it, it'd be fine. You could tell them
- 17:13Speaker 1: to their face. No, and I think maybe it's because
- 17:14Speaker 1: people know I'm here a lot. So this is my
- 17:17Speaker 1: little box. Yeah. They come in here, shut the door
- 17:20Speaker 1: behind themselves and tell me stuff.
- 17:21Speaker 2: They do, actually.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm a therapist. I can't imagine. I'm
- 17:26Speaker 1: the one who's never been to therapy. In my mind,
- 17:29Speaker 1: I cannot imagine sitting at my little desk over there
- 17:32Speaker 1: in the corner. And somebody pulling up a chair and going, hey, man,
- 17:35Speaker 1: let me tell you. When I tell you that's happening.
- 17:38Speaker 1: What are the cameras at? I don't know. Why are
- 17:39Speaker 1: you telling me this? Sometimes two to three times a day.
- 17:42Speaker 4: No.
- 17:42Speaker 1: In here.
- 17:43Speaker 5: And at least once to twice a week. Someone comes
- 17:46Speaker 5: in that door, shuts it behind them, and tells me stuff.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Wow. So what you know is not verified information. Right.
- 17:53Speaker 1: It's usually secondhand. That's better than me because I get zero.
- 17:57Speaker 1: And I ain't mad at it, though. I ain't mad
- 17:59Speaker 1: at it. Ain't nobody telling me nothing. I'm cool with it.
- 18:01Speaker 1: I don't want to know. Because that thing is like, okay,
- 18:04Speaker 1: I told you. Now you tell me. I ain't telling
- 18:06Speaker 1: you nothing. That's the funny thing. I never give them
- 18:09Speaker 1: anything back. But they continue to come down here and
- 18:11Speaker 1: tell me stuff. I mean, I think some people just
- 18:14Speaker 1: need to vent. Like Ray said. And I guess... I'm
- 18:18Speaker 1: a good listener. Yeah. Yeah, you are. Yeah. So I
- 18:21Speaker 1: guess that's it.
- 18:22Speaker 5: Maybe they don't, they don't want anything in return other
- 18:24Speaker 5: than to, I got to say this to somebody.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I know we're in a safe box in here. Sometimes
- 18:28Speaker 1: they even say, is the mic on?
- 18:30Speaker 5: Because I leave the on air light on all the
- 18:32Speaker 5: time to try to get people to.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Not come in here, but they still do. I don't,
- 18:36Speaker 1: I can't even imagine me going to someone in here going,
- 18:39Speaker 1: I got to tell you about something.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Yeah. They would look at me like, what? And then
- 18:45Speaker 1: you don't, you know, as soon as I turn around, hey,
- 18:48Speaker 1: you hear Johnny over here. This is what he said. Oh, yeah. Yeah. No,
- 18:52Speaker 1: I'm cool that way, though. I'm cool. It doesn't bother
- 18:54Speaker 1: me at all.
- 18:55Speaker 5: I think if you tell me something, you should probably assume.
- 18:59Speaker 5: that it's the three of us are going to know.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Of course. Oh, yeah.
- 19:02Speaker 5: So you already calculated that I might repeat it to
- 19:04Speaker 5: you two. That's like telling me something and me not
- 19:08Speaker 5: telling my wife. Obviously she knows.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
- 19:10Speaker 5: So I'm assuming when they come in the door, they
- 19:13Speaker 5: are cool with you two hearing it.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Okay. Otherwise they wouldn't tell me.
- 19:16Speaker 2: But I think we're just like their safe space.
- 19:19Speaker 4: You know, like you said. Well, like we have salespeople
- 19:21Speaker 4: that come sit in here every now and then.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 2: And I feel like when they come in here, they're
- 19:25Speaker 2: venting jobs.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah. They don't understand that when they're talking, we're looking
- 19:29Speaker 1: at each other like, can they buy one? My thing is,
- 19:31Speaker 1: I don't even know you like that, but that's cool.
- 19:34Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything. Yeah. You know, so I
- 19:37Speaker 1: don't even have unverified information about anybody. Here's the funny thing.
- 19:41Speaker 1: I'm a terrible listener.
- 19:43Speaker 5: I literally don't pay attention to most people that are
- 19:46Speaker 5: talking to me.
- 19:48Speaker 1: If you're offended to me. I'm here. Maybe that's another reason.
- 19:52Speaker 5: It's like bouncing it off, knowing that I'm not retaining
- 19:57Speaker 5: any of it because I'm.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Not paying attention. Wow. Okay. I get it. I understand.
- 20:03Speaker 1: I don't know. I think maybe... Years ago, there were
- 20:08Speaker 1: people that I vented with or I went to out
- 20:11Speaker 1: and had drinks with and stuff like that. But something happened.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Maybe they got COVID.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Yeah. You hit that one. I'm going through my Rolodex
- 20:21Speaker 1: of thoughts. No, they got laid off. And I just said,
- 20:24Speaker 1: you know what? I don't even want no new friends.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Because when I make a friend with you, they lay
- 20:27Speaker 1: you off. Every time I make a new friend, y'all
- 20:29Speaker 1: steal them. So for me, I'm like, why aren't you
- 20:32Speaker 1: my friend? Because I'm trying to save your job. If
- 20:34Speaker 1: I'm your friend, sooner or later, they're going to get you.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I'm that guy. So we're going to leave it alone.
- 20:38Speaker 1: We're going to leave it at that, man. All right,
- 20:40Speaker 1: we're going to talk about some stuff that we've all seen,
- 20:42Speaker 1: either in person or through social media, some crazy events
- 20:46Speaker 1: that have happened at kids' events. We're going to talk
- 20:48Speaker 1: about that next on Johnny's House.
