Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team
Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team: Founded by Danny O'Connor (The Outside House Museum. House Of Pain. La Coka Nostra) back in 2009. While on tour with La Coka Nostra he found the house where The Curtis Brothers lived in the 1983 Francis Ford Coppola movie, "The Outsiders" which was adapted from the novel written by S.E. Hinton of the same name. While on the same tour, Danny took the tour bus and looked for more movie locations in Austria. Once he returned to Los Angeles, he created the name and logo... the Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team was born. The rest is history...
The Return Of Danny Johnson (Smashing California)
On this episode of Mission Statements: Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team Podcast, we welcome back prolific explorer and all-around good guy, Danny Johnson. While humility prevents him from accepting the title of M.V.P., DJ has covered more ground on both coasts of the U.S., than most of us in the community. Danny treats us to a recap of the Los Angeles meet-up, from this past summer, the dip in Grasshoff’s pool, and highlights a trip back to Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch’s cabin; a site we visited, but were never able to get past the perimeter fence. As usual, Danny figures out a way. Check it out!

Mr. Freeze (w/ Allen Perry)
In this episode of Mission Statements, Allen Perry and host Andy Katz have a great time talking with Mr. Freeze, of the Rock Steady Crew. The ‘breakdance scene’ from the 1983 movie ‘Flashdance’ brought us together, 40 years after the filming, and Mr. Freeze recounts his memories of filming the groundbreaking dance sequences. Allen had visited the site several years ago, in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, and Andy followed in his footsteps, earlier this year. This discussion was a rare opportunity to directly connect with pop-culture greatness, and document one of our collaborative missions to find an elusive location. Thanks go to Mr. Freeze (Marc Lemberger) and Allen Perry, for their time and wonderful story-telling. Explore more!

Fred Nowosielski (Delta Bravo Boston)
After a little hiatus, we're back. Andrew Katz and Jimmy Ferrari co-host this episode with long overdue guest, Fred Nowosielski. Delta Bravo Boston! An OG member of the Delta Bravo Team, the man responsible for the majority of our logos and design. A family man first, a talented artist and explorer. We go back to how he found out about the team and how he wound up being heavily involved, especially behind the scenes with all of the logos, challenge coins, patches etc. This was a lot of fun, we could've probably gone for another hour easily. I hope you enjoy this one. Stay Gold.

Sean Murphy (Photographer)
Andrew Katz takes over as the host on Episode 026 of Mission Statements. The guest is the awesome, legendary photographer Sean Murphy. Please watch Andrew's mini-documentary, "In search of Sean Murphy: Debrief", this episode is pretty much a companion piece. Watch that here: https://youtu.be/ji3PdmButmA They chop it up about the Beastie Boys photo shoot, a ton of behind the scenes insight that took place along with it which bleeds into a bunch of stories involving Rage Against the Machine. The amount of stories that Sean has is incredible. He gets into some of the situations that earned him the nickname, the "Angel of Death" of photography. I can go on and on about this episode, but if I do, what would be the point of listening. Enjoy!

Jimmy Granara (Delta Bravo Boston)
Happy St. Paddy's Day! ☘️ We're headed back to Boston for the second episode in a row with Jimmy Granara as the guest on Episode 024 of Mission Statements. Jimmy has the same passion like a handful of the Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team has when it comes to searching out and hitting spots whenever he can. The episodes with these guys are particularly fun and seem to only feel like we've spoken for ten minutes, but almost two hours have gone by. We talk bucket list spots, locations we've both hit before, the feeling we get when we're in particular places that haven't changed at all over the years and his trips overseas to Italy and London where he hit some of my favorite mashes. An Air Force veteran, firefighter and a member of the team that crushes spots. Enjoy!

Joseph Kelly & Danny Johnson (Delta Bravo Boston)
Delta Bravo Boston! Episode 023 of MISSION STATEMENTS: A DBUET Podcast is now available on all platforms. The awesome Joseph W. Kelly and Danny Johnson are the guests on this episode. We met up a few weeks back in Boston to hit locations, then met up with Fred Nowosielski, Jimmy Granara, and Tim True at Ernesto's Pizza in Somerville. Joseph, being a lifelong Boston native, he offered to pick us up from my hotel at 7:30am on Saturday morning. We ripped through the city and before 3pm, we accomplished more than if I was there by myself for three days, all while giving us a history lesson and bringing us to spots that weren't on my list of spots to hit. An awesome Saturday with Joe, then myself and Danny met up on Sunday and smashed even more. We discuss the ins and the outs of both days along with the meet-up at Ernesto's with the other team members. Just a fun weekend that will happen again in a couple of months, for sure. I hope you enjoy this one. Stay Gold!

David Corio (Legendary Photographer)
Episode 022 of Mission Statements with special guest host Andrew Katz. His guest is the legendary photographer David Corio along with director Nick Light. Andy goes way back into the beginning of David's incredible career from the beginning when he first got into photography at the age of fourteen. Amazing stories about taking photos of Bob Marley in 1980 while being chest deep in a lake shortly after Joe Jackson was hit in the chest by a dead duck somebody threw at him. They go into the Cold Chillin' photo shoot and how easy it was to shoot the late, great Biz Markie in 1988. Covering how Andy met up with David in London and the uncomfortable circumstances that started that meeting. So much was covered here with awesome stories throughout this show. Super entertaining.

Steve Dallman (Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team)
Steve Dallman is the guest on Episode 020 of Mission Statements. I needed to speak to him for a couple of reasons. First, because he hits a ton of locations all over the country, and secondly, most of his hits are purposely locations of bad movies. We talk all about terrible films and what he does in order for him to be able to travel as often as he does. Definitely a fun conversation. Enjoy. Stay Gold.
