I sniff you like you've never been sniffed before. Uh, brom,
I know, I know. Before we start talking about this incredible,
incredible new uh well career for you, I gotta talk
about Dexter.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Uh yeah, I'm so excited about this role.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Of course, I don't want any spoilers, but joining that
incredible cast has got to be incredible for you and
for them.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Can you talk about anything?

Speaker 5 (00:56):
Well, it's an incredible cast. I you know, the first
night we were all sitting around looking at each other.
At least I was thinking like, holy cow, what a
room I'm in here. I hope they felt the same
about me. But I'm just glad they saw me the
way they saw me, and I'm excited for people to
see it. I think they're going to be surprised and
it's it's a it's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
So I mean, if you want a pool of people
to choose from, go to social media. And this is
why I want to bring this up next. You posted
on your profile and Instagram something that we truly believe
in wholeheartedly.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, read it out loud. I love this.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know where they put you know, we put your
little bio on the top right so people can read
about you. Yours, says Eric Stonetree. I played Cam. If
you're mean to fellow followers, I will block you. If
you're a dick, I will block you. If you correct
my spelling, I will block you.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Wait a minute, yes, wossde what's our motto here?

Speaker 5 (01:48):
GANDHI say it all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
My page is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship
and off with your head? Who by lady.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
I love it when people, you know, correct a clear
typo or a clear mistake. You know, I'm not spelling
super casual fragilistic exp I don't even know that word,
but you know, when it's just this honest mistake and
somebody the grammar police come in, it's like, no, that's
not right, that's not right.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
It drives me crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Right, use the wrong there. You should have been thh
E I R not th h E R e F
you go away.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah. And then the negativity in the world.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I've always just blown away that people decide to contribute
to the world something negative towards someone else rather than
not say anything at all.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
For example, That's always an option, you.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Know, So I don't need people to come up, come
on and fluff me up and you know, make me
feel great or whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Not saying anything is also a contribution. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
I think if you're quiet, the best fluffers are total mutes.
Just get it because they can't.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Don't don't talk with your mouthful.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Anyway, we got to talk about we're big, huge, massive
fans of Norwegian Cruise Line and we are the godparents
of Norwegian Bliss, and then we went on to help
Katie Perry become the godparent of Prima. We were there
for the Kelly Clarkson christening as well. Now, Aqua is
the new one. Aqua's rolling across the ocean. It's in

(03:16):
the middle of the Atlantic. We're tracking it. It's going
to stop here in New York City first and then
travel down the coast to Miami, where Eric stone Street
will be on board. He will christen Norwegian Aqua. You're
now officially the godparent. Congratulations Eric. This is a pretty
cool thing.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It absolutely is.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
And you know, I joke around, but I'm also very
serious that the fastest two yes's I've had in this
business was the first when weird Al Yankovic asked me
to be in a music video for him.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I just was like, yes, I'll do that.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
And the second is when I got asked to christen
a cruise ship, and when it turned out to be Norwegian,
it was all the better because of the company and
what I knew about them and how much of a
great family atmosphere they had. And I am I am
catching a theme here that you've been to Katie Perry's,
you've been to Kelly Clarkson's, but you're not coming to mind.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well, hold on, let me check.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
April thirteenth is the christening in beautiful Miami.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Hold on April thirteenth. Hold on second, which is a Sunday. No,
I don't know it's Sunday. Sorry, I can't make it
religious day.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
If we can, if we can get Norwegian to fly
us in, we're coming in for the christening.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, I can't make promises like that. I mean I
think I heard.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Radio pretty well. Well, well, this is where I have
to correct you. You know, Eric, now, as godparent, you pretty
much hold the cards.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Okay, hold on? What was I going to say? There?

Speaker 5 (04:52):
So I was on Norwegian Bliss and I'm walking around
and Adam that was walking around the side. I like,
on your ship it's going to be this, and on
your ship it's going to be this, and then on
your ship won't have this, it'll have this.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
And finally I was like, Adam, you know, you don't
have to you don't have to keep calling it my ship.
He's like, well, it kind of is your ship. So
then twenty minutes later.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
We're walking around and he stopped doing it, and then
I was like, you know what, goa to go back
to calling it my ship?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I missed that.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, it's incredible and once you step on board, they
will take very good care of you as they do
everyone in Norwegian. That's why we love being a part
of their family and they're a part of ours as well.
So for the christening, other than the fact it's a
waste of a great bottle of champagne, it's really a
lot of fun. I mean, they make it bigger than life.
And I was watching video from your ship, Aqua, and

(05:40):
it is sparkling, brand new, and I don't know if
it's the camera angles or not, but I see an
edge on this ship. I don't see it on the
other ones, because every ship is different and unique. Have
you seen all the footage of this beautiful ship Aqua.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
David has been sending me some inside videos of different
things on the ship, so I have seen a little
bit of it. And then I'm just like you. I've
been watching the Instagram and I'm like, who are all
these people in my ship? I haven't even been on
it yet, and they're all, you know, doing selfies from
my ship.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
It's like, take it easy, it's my ship. I know
it's gorgeous.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
They're soiling and soling your ship. This is his ship.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, it's people off there. And also I know that
the print show is going to be amazing.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yep, it's called Revolution. I've seen videos.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
I've seen kind of the final three seconds of it
when the curtains go down.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
That was unbelievable though, because you know, when they were
telling me about Prince is my all time favorite artist,
it just all of a sudden felt.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Like maybe this is my ship.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
Maybe they did design this ship for me. The slide coaster.
Can't wait for that. The videos of that look incredible.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I hope it. I don't know what it's. I hope
it can push me up that hill.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh no, it will. Let me tell you. We were
watching them put this thing together.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
It's the world's first hybrid roller coaster and water slides,
called the Awkward Slide Coaster, I believe. And you got
to get on there, whether whether you want to or not.
You have to pretend not to be afraid, and it
will kind of you out into the sea, never to
be seen again.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's fadous.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
This ride. I was so happy to see.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
The slide coaster pushes you up and then it's kind
of more like a water slide as you go down,
and you're not constantly going like super propelled fast. So
I'm very excited. The boys have watched the videos like
twenty five times. They can't wait.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, Eric, Stone Streets, Norwegian Aqua is gonna be cruising
to the Bahamas, the Caribbean Bermuda from Miami, Orlando and
New York. Also going to a great stirrup Key, your
own private island, and of course Norwegian Aqua the Prima
plus class. These ships are just perfect. Congratulations Eric, we
can't wait to get this ship underway. We're gonna have

(07:38):

so don't get man.

Speaker 2 (07:41):

I won't be there.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
We'll be in New York and the company New York
buyas lunch on your ship. The kids you could do.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
But hold on, do you have any tips on for
the day the christening? Like? Is there anything I need
to be prepared for?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
