From the Bob Barley studio in Orlando, Florida, you're listening to The Diz Unplugged.

Hello and welcome to The Diz Unplug Roundtable discussion for the week of January 4, 2012.

From Orlando, Florida, on your host, Pete Warner joined at the table this week by my

good friends, Kathy Worling, Teresa Eccles, Corey Martin, Kevin Close, and John Meijai, Walter

Eccles, and Max The Intern, back in the peanut gallery.

In this segment, John and Kevin are going to talk about their Christmas trip to Italy with

ABD on the Viva Italia tour, and this is a particular interest to me, and a few other

teasers.

We will be going on this trip in four months, in May, five months, and very, very excited,

very, very excited about doing this trip about, you know, for me anyway, the only time

I've seen Italy has been from a cruise ship, and so you get like, you know, a little taste

of Italy, especially Rome, I am dying to spend a couple of days, quality days in Rome.

So very excited, so I'll kick it over to you too, you can tell us about your trip.

We're also going to be breaking this up into segments over the course of the next few

weeks, because, well, A, we've been recording for about 16 hours, I think, today.

As you guys say, this is not going to be one of those marathon recording sessions where

we do the whole trip.

We're going to break it up, and we're going to do, we'll start off with Rome, the first

part of the trip.

I told Johnny, it's 11 minutes.

Right.

So I'm going to talk really fast.
