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. And, of course, we'll be having a few laughs along the way. We might even have a surprise in store for Habakkuk - a potential collaboration on a wine project!

Om Podcasten

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!
