Here's the call, trying to get Uncle Johnny on zoom.
All right, so Uncle Johnny. Uncle Johnny hasn't been on
the show in a while, and well we always try
to get him in the Zoom room, and so we're
recording this because I want you to see what we're
going through. Last time, it took him how many minutes

(00:22):
to get him in the seventeen minutes. I bet he's
faster now, all right, let's try to get him in.
I want you to.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Know that I sent him a Zoom room invite and
then I got a recorded message back. That's just an
ambient room noise with the station playing in the background
and him trying to figure out.

Can you get him on the phone? Names, Yeah, call
him on the phone. I love that.

Speaker 3 (00:50):

a number I don't have, but it was Erico two
to one to two, So I don't know if that
was him trying to call me.

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

he tried to call me. Yeah, I don't know what
he's answering. He was trying to call me. He's probably confused.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
You can't Johnny answer your phone. It'll take thirty seconds
to hear that exactly. Okay. But what I'm loving is
he can't even figure out how to use a phone
that's connected in his apartment. It's it's like a connected

it's the.

Speaker 3 (05:27):

Uncle Johnny finally got on zoom. That was I'm worn out.
That was great.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
God.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
But every time, every single time he had a problem
with his cell phone or anything, his remote control for
his TV. That's what happened on that phone Johnny versus technology. Yeah,
he technology won every time every time away. And how
patient I was. I don't think I'm that patient with
anybody else in my whole life. You gotta keep in
mind that was during pandemic. We had nothing but time. Yeah,

(14:41):
we were like, oh thank god. Everybody would give us
his iPad or iPhone to hook up to the Wi
Fi and we'd go to hook it up boys. Ahoy
his gay porn. Oh God, bless you Johnny, thank you
for all the laughs. People were asking, is there going

(15:02):
to be a service? You know, it was Johnny's. He
was very, very very insistent on this. He wanted to
be cremated immediately. He didn't want anyone to look at him.
He's like, I don't want any viewing. I don't want
to I don't want to service. Just throw me a
big party at Cherry's on the Bay in Fire Island,
on Fire Island this summer. So we're gonna do that.

(15:25):
We'll let you know when we're getting closer to that.
So there is one person who did see him as
far as his friends go, and that's our friend, oh,
Richard Bell. Yeah. They called and said, uh, you know,
Johnny passed away at seven twenty five this morning, which
was right before we right before we got the call.

(15:46):
Actually he had just passed away, and they said, we'll
keep him here in his room if you want to
come see him real quick. And we were way out
at the farm. We couldn't get into town, but Richard said,
I'll go. So Richard Bell went up to his hospital
and he sat down with Uncle Johnny's body and uh,
he's like he called us. He's like, I'm with him now, i'ment, oh, okay,

(16:07):
are you? Are you okay?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Richard?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
He said, It's like he's just sleeping and I keep wanting,
wanting him to wake up. I'm like, wake up Johnny,
and uh he didn't, of course, but our friend Anthony
brought him a little beijeon, a little little stuffed dog
that looked just like his Sophia, who passed away several
years ago. So Richard took Sophia, the uh stuffed dog

(16:32):
and put it right next to his chin, and he
held on to him and uh, that's how how Richard
left him. So anyway, Wow, funniest guy you've ever met. Yeah,
Uncle Johnny, he was from another planet, without doubt, and
we love you, Uncle Johnny.
