About

After touring the world with Avenged Sevenfold for 20 years, Johnny Christ sits down to have conversations with some old friends, some new friends, and people of all different walks of life to hear the stories that shaped their lives and careers. The truth is, we never really know where these conversations are going to go. Sometimes we play a game for some less than thrilling penalties, get lost in the middle of LA, and even just kick back to celebrate a holiday or two. Sometimes we drink, other times we don’t drink at all. From cocktails to health shakes, the drink is just a nice icebreaker to loosen up our guests for the wild ride they’re about to embark upon. Whatever it is you're looking for, we're sure to have it on the menu here at Drinks With Johnny. So stay tuned, stay thirsty, and stay FILTHY AF!

From Italy to New York with Habakkuk Baldonaldo

This week we're thrilled to welcome Habakkuk Baldonaldo, a recent draftee in the NFL who has had an incredible journey to get to where he is today. Habakkuk's story is one of perseverance and determination. He began playing American football in Italy at the age of 16, after switching from soccer. He quickly found success, playing for the national league and catching the attention of American scouts. He eventually moved to the United States for his senior year of high school and received D1 scholarship offers, ultimately choosing the University of Pittsburgh for the Italian food. We'll be talking about his journey to the NFL, including his experience getting picked up by the New York Giants in free agency. We'll also discuss his love of wine and the different approach to alcohol that they have in Italy. We'll delve into his musical tastes and if he'll be attending the Avenged Sevenfold show at Madison Square Garden. We'll also talk about his background in MMA.

Josh Balz

Things get a little spooky this week as we’re joined by musician/entrepreneur/spooky guy Josh Balz! Right off the bat we get into Josh’s extensive taxidermy collection, and Johnny’s desire to become a piece of taxidermy one day. Josh even goes as far as to place an exact value on what a stuffed Johnny might cost! We get into the music industry and chat about Josh’s time performing with Motionless in White. Josh reveals what led him to leave the band, and why the touring life wasn’t a good fit for him.

Andy Black of Black Veil Brides

After a decade since touring together, I catch up with an old friend in Andy Black of Black Veil Brides. We get into the band’s latest studio release, The Phantom Tomorrow, and talk about the process of creating this album over the last year. Andy even shares some insight & spoilers into BVB’s followup to this record. We take it back to our tour together in 2011, and catch up on how our lives have changed since then.

Andy also gives some insight to his infamous Golden Gods speech in 2013.

Stooging Around to Fill Some Time

What happens when Johnny Christ calls and says let's go to Las Vegas tomorrow? A wild night out, a wicked hangover to follow, and of course this week's almighty filler episode! After a wild time with Sammy Hagar in Vegas, we cool things down by getting the Drinks With Johnny crew together for a mid-season meetup to shoot the shit and preview what's left to come in Season 3. We chat about threesomes, glory holes, and the last time Johnny was in a mosh pit. There's a *super brief* preview of the now-infamous Stix golf outing episode that's coming later in the season (or next week, who knows!) and we also get a look at the special rooftop performance by Sammy Hagar & The Circle in Las Vegas. Before we close things out, our favorite whiskey connoisseur Fred Minnick stops by for a cameo, and we're joined by Bobby Schubenski, Josh Balz, & Beez from the Space Zebra crew as they broadcast live from Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky.

Fresh off the release of their latest studio album Dearly Beloved, Daughtry frontman Chris Daughtry joins the show. Fifteen years after the release of their self-titled debut album, Daughtry is back to reclaim their crown and evolve into the rock band they originally sought to become. Chris opens up about the path that led to this latest record, and how splitting from the band’s label really allowed for full creative freedom to write rock songs. We take a deep dive back into Chris’ path through American Idol, and what it was like to live in an isolated compound for the duration of the show. Chris also shares the one thing he wishes they would have allowed him to do on the show. We fast forward to 2019 and chat about Chris’ stellar performance as the “Rottweiler” on The Masked Singer. Chris reveals the challenges of performing in a mascot costume, and the secrecy of that shrouds the show in general. We get back to Dearly Beloved and discuss the creative process going into the project. I reveal which song from the record would make the perfect backtrack for a sports montage video package (take note NFL and UFC), plus we talk about Chris’ fascination with comic books and how it’s come to light in the band’s latest music video.

Chris also shares a story about why he almost never made it home from Vinnie Paul’s house one sunny day. We find out how close Chris was to actually giving up on his musical career before joining Death Punch, and why it sometimes pays off big to slide into someone’s DMs. Chris talks about his experience of hand delivering bass guitars to fans, and why it’s been a longer than expected process. We get introspective & retrospective on our lives, and why it’s important to appreciate the journey over the destination. We give Blabbermouth some good one liners to use as headlines, talk about the newfound synchrony in the 5FDP camp, why Kiss Alive II is so special to Chris, and so much more!

Kelly shares his experience meeting Avenged Sevenfold for the first time in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio and how the band plays a part in his self proclaimed “champ stamp” tattoo on his back. We talk about Kelly’s introduction to boxing at a young age, and why he doesn’t think it would be a good career choice for his son. Kelly shares his thoughts on celebrity boxing bouts, and why it’s important you should watch them with the mindset that it’s an exhibition matchup. The Ghost also pulls back the curtain behind the boxing industry revealing that some champions don’t get paid as much as guys who can ‘put asses in seats.’ We break down friend-of-the-show Vergil Ortiz’s upcoming fight, and discuss why Kelly thinks Vergil is a man on a mission. Kelly explains the differences between the many governing bodies in boxing, and exposes the fees associated with being a World Champion.

This week we’re graced by the presence of a true legend in the making as professional wrestler EC3 and his right hand man JC join the show to talk about their latest project Free The Narrative. Being a podcast run by wrestling fans (if you haven’t already figured that out by now) it was truly refreshing to watch the cinematic wrestling experience they put together, and pick their brains about the behind-the-scenes process. We take a unique look at the wrestling industry together and discuss why today’s product is more driven by the advertisers over the fans. EC3 talks about how certain wrestlers are never given the chance to get over, why he became miserable during his WWE run, and how The Narrative has become a third act of sorts for his career. JC gives us a unique peek behind the curtain of the production process behind The Narrative.

We also learn about what MONSTROUS names might be featured in the next iteration of The Narrative.

We also discuss the importance of vocal rest, and how Jesse balances his time between passions. We hop back into the music world to talk about Jesse’s latest release with Killswitch alumni Adam & Joel in Times of Grace.

Madusa

This week I'm honored to be joined by a true PAVER in WWE Hall of Fame wrestler & Monster Jam star, Madusa! We start this bad boy out with a cocktail I dubbed Madusa on the Rocks, but Madusa comes up with even a better name. Then we sit down and get into Madusa's near 20-year tenure with Monster Jam. We find out just how she was able to carve out a niche for herself in the monster truck world, the struggles of having absolutely ZERO training before starting, and the fun pranks that she pulled on the guys before their races. I pull out a nice surprise for Madusa myself, as we introduce a new drinking game to the mix - Cocktail Checkers. Things get heated as Madusa's true competitive nature shines through during the game. We continue the chat by getting into the beginnings of Madusa's wrestling career; from the first training session, to her debut in Japan, sketchy cage fighting in Thailand, and her eventual rise to the WWF as Alundra Blayze.

Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit

This week we take a step into the warped and twisted mind of legendary guitarist Wes Borland! We talk all things Limp Bizkit - the beginnings in Jacksonville with Three Dollar Bill, Y'all, the MTV Spring Break performances, Woodstock ’99, the Australia incident, Wes’ time away from the band, the upcoming tour dates, and an update on the elusive Stampede of the Disco Elephants record. We also take a deep dive into all of Wes’ side projects. Get the full story behind the creation of GOATSLAYER, how much music they really have recorded, why you’ll probably never hear some of it, and how that project eventually evolved into Big Dumb Face.

Darby Allin

Our favorite hoodlum Darby Allin returns to the show for an in-depth interview about his life in & outside of the wrestling ring. Of course we'd be remiss not to talk about the TNT Champion's spectacular cinematic showcase with legend Sting. Darby reveals his first interactions with the Stinger, and how his background as a (failed) film student helped to influence the promos we see on AEW programming. Darby explains what led to his decision to ultimately drop out of film school. Here's a spoiler: it involves an inflatable boobie and a bathroom stall. Yup, that's a real thing. We take an even deeper dive into the absurd as Darby recalls his ridiculous antics as a dollar store employee. Broken feet, TV commercials, and chocolate pudding are just a taste of the chaos... It wouldn't be a true Darby Allin interview without someone trying to slide across the floor unnoticed mid-chat. We also get into Darby's favorite punk rock groups, his thoughts on Gigi Dolin, why you'll never see him wrestling in a high school gymnasium, and what it was like to work with the late great Brodie Lee. There's so much packed into this episode, that we even had to bring back The Hangover - and believe us, you DO NOT want to miss this one!
