and up good boy y'all ready how's it going everybody I'm John Bernthal this is Bam slam the dog and these are my 10 Essentials so these right here are my Bates combat boots I first got acquainted with the wonderful Bates company on my uh little stint on Walking Dead much to my illustrious publicist dismay I do not get rid of these boots I love these boots I wear them every day I'm a firm believer in being able to run when you need to run being able to move when you need to move I like Comfort they have this unbelievable uh zipper here so that's the easy on easy off you can keep them tied I can play basketball in these boots I can work out I can box in these boots I love them and I'm grateful for them and um I'm a huge supporter of Bates boots I would advertise for them all day long for free the next thing I'd like to talk about uh that is absolutely essential to me is the most wonderful fruit uh on the planet that is the grapefruit I first got acquainted with the the wonderful grapefruit when I was living in Russia we actually have a grapefruit uh tree behind our house there's nothing in the world that makes me happier than picking my own grapefruit and then going to town I mean I really want to peel this you know what man it I I'm gonna peel this sucker open right here I don't normally eat it this way I normally do it with a uh with a knife and I cut in half but like it's the white parts that are really good too so here's to you and uh Happy grapefruit eating all right my next item I want to talk about is the yellow legal pad I love my dad and I very much admire him and look up to him and when I think about my dad I think of this unbelievably uh tireless and uh tenacious work ethic he always made time for us always made time to coach us to be there for us there was no conversation you couldn't have with my old man but he also he worked his ass off always and he always started each day with a a yellow legal pad every movie every role I play I always put everything down on these legal pads I dig them and um I I couldn't go anywhere without them so I'm very grateful to uh the yellow legal pad my next item is this little headband this is my daughter's headband it's all stretched out now because it's been hanging from the rearview mirror of my truck she's the center of the middle of my heart she's my favorite human being in the entire world she's perfect it's got a little Diamond fake diamond in the middle of the uh the flower here and I don't know makes me think of her and I love her so it's definitely one of my essentials I don't go anywhere without it yeah I don't um like to fly so when I go away for for long periods of time I like to take my truck and these are the items that hang from my rear view um they're my boxing glove being a boxer is uh enormously important to me my best friend Sean Kerrigan always tells me going with the closed fist I always remember it's a fight and um I carry this with me to remind me of that these dog tags here are from my sister Sarah Wayne Callies who I did The Walking Dead with this was my rap gift after season two The Walking Dead was a a unbelievably uh meaningful job for me it's it's um the job where I became a husband where I became a father and I think it's really uh was the first step in the most important section of my life where I became really the the man and the artist that I always wanted to be these right here are worry beads these are Greek worry beads uh for my best friend Greg zumas who's been my best friend since I was in first grade he uh he brought these back to me when he was uh 16 years old from his trip to Greece that he took and he's my brother there's pretty much nothing in this world that we haven't been through together so I carry him with me at all times and this is uh in here some fur from my dog boss who is my number one right-hand man he and I went through it all together and my dear friend Lauren uh got me this uh when we lost him a wonderful dog a kind dog and a Dependable dog so these are the things that I have on my rearview mirror when I'm driving to and from work this is a very important book to me this is a journal I got at a place called ismalowski park on the outskirts of Moscow Russia they sell anti-aircraft missiles and live bears and stolen CDs and Russian artifacts it's it's like a whole city a time in Moscow was the most formative time in my life I literally wrote something down every single day that I was there I only write in this now when I lose somebody or the birds of my kids or when something sort of momentous happens I go back and I try to read this every couple years and reminds me really why why I do what I what I do when I got this book there's an old man he gave me a shot of vodka and we drank it together it was freezing cold he's in all this fur and he blessed this this book one thing about Russia is uh sometimes even when I couldn't understand what they're saying I understand everything that was being said I know this book is is sacred and will always be sacred to me so I take it with me anytime I do a job this is always with me this is uh the most important person in my life that's my hero and my best friend she you know just makes me uh the man that I want to be I take this with me to every job I go to no matter where overseas I always have it with me you know she is uh the strongest and uh wisest bravest and most honorable person I've ever met I'm so glad that that um I'm in love you know that I'm still in love after all these years we've known each other 20 years and she's my everything so this is uh more than essential this is this is the whole thing right here so yeah definitely had to be on my list I can do better definitely don't underestimate uh double bubble I I really can't say enough good about double bubble um I am addicted to it when I see it I have to kind of put it in my mouth I am a big gum Enthusiast I I'm constantly chewing gum on set this is like a little burst of Heaven if I see it in the store I gotta buy it I love me some double bubble I I it doesn't last that long but good things don't always last forever you know what I mean I just can't say enough good about about uh double bubble do incredible and I like because I like to work out I've been playing sports my whole life and I've done all kinds of different workouts but recently
