All right, let's

get it going right here, right now. This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to an all new Eyes up Here exclusively on our Patreon channel and of course on the Creative Control podcast Network. If you did know by now, my name is Chad and every single week I'm joined here and live and in living color by the one and only Queen of Extreme Slide whistle. Wow, Francy, what's amazing? Oh you know I'm here? Do if you know? You know I'm here and I don't, So it's even better,

I said, And I don't, so that's even better. Now. I'm just I'm extremely under the weather, just not feeling good at all. Have to travel. We're not going to say where or what I'm doing until next week, but I just don't feel well. And then my mother, oh my god, so the other day, I don't know the beginning of the week, I guess it was my son is he's a little hyper sometimes and when he goes

to kiss you, he will jump on you. And you know, my mom is very fragile, and she she's on couman in, And if you don't know what that is, it's a blood dinner. And old people that are on coman in, they tend to bruise a lot. Yeah, you know, So she had this, these two bruises on her leg. I didn't think anything of it, because you know, it's just it is what it is. She bruises. She didn't bump anything. She just wakes up with these bruises. He went to go kiss her, bumped into the bruise and she didn't.

She screamed, but she didn't realize what happened. Here. He the way he bumped her, she was bleeding. Now, she didn't realize she was bleeding. So I heard her scream and I ran in and I said, are you okay? I didn't look at her leg. She goes, yeah, you know, he just he hit my leg or whatever. You're all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Hours go by nothing, you know. I go in there. She's under a blanket. I can't see her leg. Around nine point thirty, we're getting ready for bet.

She starts calling me. She's covered in blood. It bled, But yeah, she didn't realize it. So I'm like, you didn't realize this when you you know, did you get up to go to the bathroom or I mean it was maybe it was like two three hours since he had hit her, and she was like, no, I didn't realize it. So I start freaking out. I can't stop the bleeding. I'm like, you have to go to the emergency room. She won't go to the hospital. She's scared.

She's gonna stay there. Oh gosh. So the last four days I've been tending to her leg and I keep telling her, do you want to at least go to like uh uh Med Express urgent Care, like for them to look at But it's starting, it's starting to scab, you know, just wrapping it real tight to stop the bleeding, because that's what it said online. And she's she wasn't lightheaded or dizzy. She could walk. Oh my gosh. I just yeah, it was just like and this was early

in the week, this was on maybe Tuesday. Wowser's so, I mean, she's she's okay. Now it's it's scabbing over nicely. And they that's all you could do, Like they couldn't and it didn't need stitches, It wasn't like a cut, right, just a bump. Yeah, and their skin is so delicate and fragile. Yeah, exactly. But it was just, you know, it was just running back and forth and cleaning her

and cleaning everything. And then my son felt bad and it wasn't his faults and just like, don't jump on my mom, like give her a nice kiss on the cheek and you'll be fine. Yeah. Well, you know, but I have had a massive headache all week. It will not go away. I feel like I haven't slept in about twelve days. I just I don't know what's going on with me. So you're lucky i'm here today because I just drilled to like get under her blanket and just go to sleep. I've drilled. You're here man. Yeah.

So yeah, I would have taken her in the hospital. She didn't want to go in quite frankly, she didn't need to go. I just panicked. I was just I was just concerned just because blood levels. But they did say, you know, just make sure you pressure. But it was just, yeah, well, I'm gonna call you out on the spot for this and this is nothing bad, so don't worry because I know something else that might have bothered you this week.

But this is where you're gonna channel the old queen of extreme and it's time to cut a promo on a certain travel destination of yours for their decision this week to eliminate the fast pass. I have it. Has that caused the shit store? I have it up over here. I want to bring it up. Yeah, So we're getting a new gimmick called Disney Genie plus the Genie like a Latin the Genie. I guess. So, I don't really understand why we had to do this. I guess Disney

just needs more money from us on our vacations. But fifteen dollars is it? Fifteen dollars a day per guests, per person? So do you get access all day? Because I'm seeing different things here. I think you do, because it's the thirty rides that they're saying, rides and attractions that have the ability to have the fast pass. But for somebody like you who goes for two weeks fifteen a day, sixty dollars a day, ya day times? You know how many day do the actual parties? It's a

spicy little bit. That's a couple of cameos there. I don't make a lot for my cameos. It's a couple of cameo chats and a few cameos. This is something that my husband and I said we are not going to get. I think if enough people boycott this, then they might, you know, go back to the old ways. But this is just another money grab and it really pisses me off, like we don't spend enough on our trip to begin with, you know what I mean, I am highly upset. I tweeted at them too, and they

did not respond. That's how the anger level was up here was I saw the tweet and I knew that was a big deal. But it's funny because you know, this the current America, and this is not a political statement,

so please don't take it. Is that with inflation being what it is right now and everything being more expensive and everything going up, you figure somebody like me who drives, that's automatically going up because the price of gas is through the roof, food is through the roof, and now you're adding sixty dollars a day for a family afoord. It just jumped the line a little bit to you know, not pass out in the one hundred degree heat. It's it stinks, really it's a very ill, ill thought out

plan by that. Yeah, I'm not a fan of it. I don't like it. And I also read I don't know how true this is, but the new ratitituy ride. They want to do it like Rise of the Resistance. Oh that's stupid. And I said to myself, Oh my god. It's hard enough getting you know, getting up early because you have to be on your phone right before seven o'clock to hit that butt. Now I have to do it, you know, for another ride. Yeah, it makes you work

on your vacation. Oh yeah, you really can't relax because you're doing all this stuff and planning and sorting things out. It's just it's a disappointment, you know. I'm really and my kids are like a weep wey conning Disney and I'm just like, no, but I'm really pissed off. Yeah, there's still enough to do. You can get around certain things. I'm sure at times you go it won't be that hard to get on certain rides. But it just, you know, it's just a and I've been experiencing this a lot lately.

It's a move for the sake of a move. They're just doing it for the sake of doing it. They're adding a couple bucks their pocket, and it is what it is, and there's nothing we can do about it. But you're right, maybe there will be such a revolt they'll have to tweak it. Maybe they'll bring fast Pass back in some capacity and keep their diaper genie or whatever. The stupid thing. I have a well, so did I for the first one, and then we got rid of it.

But it makes you it just it's again, it's just the sake of doing something for the sake of finding another place to add five hundred dollars for a family of four, when you know maybe that's five hundred dollars that you just missed out on merchandise or the food. The food is ridiculously expensive, especially if you want to sit down meal your fourteen dollars chicken fingers. Yeah, exactly. It's just it's very upsetting to me. I haven't even planned my trip yet. We are usually booked in July.

The state of the world right now is so crazy. I don't want to book anything until I know if we're going to lock down or if we're going to keep going like I I'm afraid to book, then them shut the whole country. You know what I mean, like them will be screwed. So we are waiting, but you know I'm not happy to Yeah, it's it's funny right now.

COVID wise. Okay, our area which is a very rural area, which was not hit very hard with COVID just so happens to be this hotbed for children getting the little variant. Out of the blue. This happened where all the schools in our county are going down. They've officially hit one percent of the students at my kids elementary school are in quarantine because other kids have it and those were

exposed out of nowhere. Wow, this happened. I mean, do you think they're going to go to remote learning again? They've brought Bessa now whereas they were this was the mess thing. They enacted this idea that you could get out of wearing the mask if you had religious or whatever health restrictions, okay, or what you could do is is you could sign a little waiver and your kid

would wear it. Right, they've changed that. Since one percent of the kids are now in quarantine, they've gone ahead and they have just said nope, twenty eight days worth the masks, so go you know you got to go figure that's the deal right now, can you hear me? Yes? Okay, yeah, because I was thinking of Liz, is she gonna have to just not teach again and teach from home? So far her school is fine. It's these it's our rural area, which again last year, not a thing, nothing, all of

a sudden, and that's where you know, I feel. You know, this makes me so happy that we pulled our children from the schools. The more videos that I see come up of the way these teachers are speaking to the children and the whole COVID thing, I'm like, my kids are safe and I don't have to worry about a lunatic teaching them the wrong things in the classroom. So

I am happy that we pulled them. But speaking of being safe from COVID, two weeks ago, you and I had the the the great honor of having a nice day and a half with this gentleman from Connecticut. He's been talking, what's up, guys morning, how are you cheers to everyone on this woking morning. Just coffee? Yeah, no, it's just an energy drink. Okay, I don't I don't have a beverage in front of me. So I'll air cheers. We already a high five, so we'll air cheers. Yeah,

So how have you been, Nick? Been great? I've been great sen you last Yeah, yeah, I know it feels like it's been forever, right right, No, but yeah, just been So my wife's actually, uh, three weeks away from giving birth to our child, so excited. So it's it's crunch time. It's the final stretch. But so she's just over with the process. But we're looking forward to the baby getting here on September tenth. Other other than that,

I've been keeping busy. You know. I had a few signings last weekend since I last worked with you, Franny, Jerry, and Jack Victory. And then next weekend I have. This weekend we're taken off. Uh we're actually doing a surprise baby shower for the missus, and then next weekend I'll be with Rachel and Paul Ellering and then i'll be place running I do for about a month. Can stay at home and help out. That's very wise of you, Yes, very well appreciates it. Another will be here too, so

I'll have to keep them apart. Okay, okay, so let's go back a couple of weeks. What was your like thoughts on the weekend because I had never I don't believe we'd met before. No, no, this is this is the first time. I actually so I know that a few years ago when when there was a big showman in Lanx I believe, but Chad had brought you in. I actually had Shane Douglass. Uh. And but we didn't really get a chance to check the other chat. Yes, other chests. I have to Chads in Chad so Tennessee,

Chad Jersey, Chad. Yeah. So uh. But it was a fantastic weekend. I can honestly say that the kapathon that we did on Saturday with you, Jack and Jerry was one of my most fun days that I've done. A virtual signings. Oh that's fun to hear. Jack was a great way to kick us off. You you were the jukebox that kept on giving and uh and then Jerry kind of cooled us off like a good dessert at the end of the night, you know, like a sweet like a sweet Verbooth, you know, and there you go.

I like that. I was thinking more of like a Krembrolet so good. I you know, I I've done several of these virtuals, you know, and you never know, like some guys that run it have no personality whatsoever, and you know you have the talent has to carry everything. You were equally bubbly, and I said to myself, Wow, this guy's really having a good time. He knows what he's doing over here. So you made it fun for

us to be working with you as well. So I wanted to thank you for having such a good personality on air, because some guys just don't. Well. I actually learned that the hard way. So where I've had some guests that not everyone's like you and Jack and that, and even Jerry is such a good storyteller, you just need to bring him in the right direction. There's lots of guys that you know, once once that red light comes on, that they just maybe they don't feel as

comfortable or as honest. And it's like teeth. But god, it was like considering I was working for essentially seven hours, it felt like it was two hours. It went by se I'm glad, well, well that makes me happy to hear. And then the next day we were at that mall, yep, Colony Center here I was Colony Center, YEP. It was like a flashback for me because I haven't done like an in mall signing. I don't even know when the

last time. It's years and years and years. And it brought me back to like my ECW days because as we were approaching to see a line wrapped around the wall like waiting to get in, I was so happy because you know, it's been like twenty something years and you're like, oh, is anybody going to show up? But we had a really nice turn out greet. There was a there was a line for the for pretty much I would say ninety minutes straight and truth be told.

And there was so much talent there, Jack Victor, Jerry Lynn, Sam and Justin credible Mustafa. But Frandy, you had the biggest line of that day. Yeah. Absolutely, hands well, I'll vouch for that. I was okay, thank you, that's nice to hear. I was overwhelmed seeing everyone. It was. It was such a nice group of us, you know, together and I hadn't seen Mustafa since ECW. I hadn't seen Jack in probably right after ECW, so it was so

nice just to get everybody together again. Me and PJ were just saying, like, you know, there's there's power in numbers, and I said, we're stronger as a group than we are as individuals. So I would love next year for us to just start doing more of these group signings because I think it was very successful. Oh absolutely, And yeah, I think more like you just hit the nail on the head, probably more than really any wrestling company ever. When you think of ECW, you don't always think of

one person or two people. You think of like ten, fifteen, twenty different people, because you guys were just a family. Everyone came to see ECW. They had their favorites, but you know, it was one of those things from match one to match eight. You know, the fans were into it the entire time, and it's like the definition of a well balanced show, you know. And I think still with the conventions people they came to see you for any but they were happy to see Jack and Jay,

you know, and it works out works up perfectly. Yeah, it was a lot of fun, So thank you again for having us there. It was not and I look forward to doing it again and love to be a part of it the next time we do east W Part two. Yeah, that's something the look forward for twenty twenty two for sure. How did you get into this crazy world like our fan growing up? I assume good. Yeah, So I grew up a huge fan. So my dad was a big sports fan, and one of the sports

that he enjoyed was wrestling. So I grew up Red Sox, Celtic and Bruin fan. Ironically enough, but I grew up as a fan of those sports in the Bronx, New York, which wasn't easy when you're about twenty twenty five minutes from Yankee Stadium. But wrestling was one of the sports that he always loved, and you know, he went to see Brunos and martinovers Larry's Bisco Chay Stadium in nineteen eighty and it was just one of those things I

always enjoyed watching with him. So maybe about ten years ago, me and the missus had our first baby, Dylan, and we wanted to move some stuff I had. I had just a collection of stuff I acquired as a kid, you know, magazines, cards, videotapes. So the conventions that I had previously been to as a fan, I saw an opportunity to maybe kind of squeeze my way in there as one of the guys. Oh I knew I didn't even know the name of it. It was just a

vendor selling stuff at a table. So I got some information and I did that a few times, and after a couple of years of doing that pretty much liquidated my entire collection. And it was my wife. She goes, you know, if you're gonna keep on doing this, you're probably gonna need to bring in the wrestlers like everyone else does. And this is twenty fifteen, And it never even crossed my mind until twenty fifteen. It was one now, that's it, twenty fifteen, twenty fifteen. Yes, yeah, man, I

feel like I've known you longer than this. I know. That was And ironically, to bring it full circle, the first guest I ever had was Shane Douglas. So, yeah, that's right, Triple Threat podcast. So it was so funny. I didn't have the best experience with uh and not Shane. Shane I've worked with a half dozen times. She's the best. But the person I went through to get Shane was not the best. But it led me to Big Chris. Yeah we all know, Okay, I had a little bit

of a heart's flutter for a second. No, I had nothing to do with Shane. Nothing to do with Moose. It was it was uh someone that uh lied to me based on the numbers that were told to me. Yeah, right, that doesn't happen, I know never. So they actually they told me I was sending a deposit to Shane, and I sent the deposit them, and naively I thought he was going to get to Shane. Never got to Shane.

And Moose called me about two weeks out, just kind of curious on because I had known Moose before, and he put you and two together and realized I was the person working with Shane. I went over the numbers with him, just full transparency, and he was like, yeah, so we didn't get this. Normally Shane, you know, would get that. Yeah, so we talked over. Shane still showed up. He drove in with Rhino. Actually they came in together for a big show in Jersey. And then uh, for

the rest is history. And then the conventions that I was setting up with just selling magazines and DVDs and started bringing talent in. And now since the pandemic, you know, killed the restaurant industry for the most part, which is still recovering. I've been doing this full time now for the last eighteen months or so full time. Crazy believe it's been that long. Yeah, March. I was laid off the end of March. Yeah. So you were in the restaurant business before you started, Yes, yeah, so I was.

I was working for a company called the Chef's Warehouse. Uh, not to give them a cheap plug, but and uh so they dealt with you know, we go to country clubs, you know, hotels, you know, fine level restaurants and just try to sell them, serve and played items, chief sucutery,

things like that. And then obviously when everything started last March, uh, you know, restaurants, I had seen better days and I got furloughed for a couple of weeks and then after they were like, yeah, so luckily though, everything happens for a reason, because I had the experience of five years of working with talent and I had some some items, you know, that I need to move. So uh it worked out to where I did a couple of online auctions and you know, helped pay the rent for a

few months. And the misses, who I call the general, she was like, you can keep this going if you want to keep bringing the money. So I'm like, well, I'm gonna make sure I keep bringing in money. Then, so supportive. I love that about her. She's great, great, put a lot of my mess, you know, for for for goodness when I say goodness and worse. Yeah, yeah, exactly. What do you like better? Do you like the restaurant

business or the wrestling business. Well there's characters in both in both worlds, but I would much the restaurant business. The chefs I was working with, like these high level chefs, they trained in Europe and they work out on the Hamptons or they will talk to you like you're not even a human being if they don't get like the right weight on their filet mignon. So if they were ten pounds, you and I send a ten pound case, but the case comes in weighing eight and three quarters pound,

you know, like under nine pounds. I'm gonna get some heat towards me and I take it. Whereas for the most part, the wrestlers are fairly easy going as long as you go through everything with them. Hey, listen, this is the amount that you know you're getting for your services. This is what we'll be doing, this is what I

need from you. I feel like that's where my business background kind of helps me as opposed to a lot of other promoters I've seen and that, you know, maybe they're not as transparent, and so I always you know, I feel like I have got a pretty good relations with most of the time I work with where they know going in what I expect them, just like you know, I know going in what they expect from me. So good attitude. I like that I do. Well. It was

a pleasure working with you. Like I said, I think I'm in the business twenty eight years now if I can calculate correctly my age here. But you were a delight to work with. Seriously, it was easy, it was fun, and you took care of us. And so yeah, I would love to do maybe something next year if things calm down a little bit and we'll see what happens with the world. I was hoping we're gonna have Captain on last week, but it didn't work out. So I

wanted to promote this even though it's technically happening tonight. Oops, wrong button we have hang on, it's this button here. We have the Captain's baby stour. There's the graphic that's so cute. That's actually tonight as we're recording, So this would have been a few days when this comes out. Is this going to be on? Are you streaming the baby shower? Well, so there's two baby showers. So the surprise one is one with with family and friends tomorrow.

This one is for all of the social media world though. Uh So, what what I'm doing is that I've accumulated all kinds of items over the last year plus and I always get a chance to auction them off. So if you could pull up a picture of send your taco, Chad, that'd be amazing. So what what I'm doing is, uh, it's uh, I've got a bunch of items. I'm gonna

be auctioning off some really cool items. Uh. The featured item is actually the save the Date from Stephanie McMahon and Triple H's wedding, A legitimate save the date that I got from a collector who got from someone invited to the wedding. Well that face that you and Frandy when you see it. Uh uh there, send your taco. That's all special guests tonight, Send your taco. She may

or may not be my seven year old daughter. Yeah, okay, horrible right, So, so, uh, I got I got photos and eight x tens and so a lot of the family going to be coming on and she's going to be signing. I told her, So we're doing five five dollars eight x ten. Uh, inscription and personalizations are they're they're available, but they're not going to be guaranteed because uh, she's still seven years old. But she's been working harder on her signature. She's I don't learn how to write

these days. Everybody prints. Well yeah, oh god. Well. So the crazy thing is that without going off on a complete side tangent is that what we do on this show, but gent away, we endorse the tangent. So I didn't know that my daughter was dyslexic until I start homeschooling her last spring when everything happened. Huh. It was one of those things where I was helping her with the studies, you know, because because I was laid off, you know, my wife Leah went to work, so I was home

with the kids. That did a homeschool my son someone like my son, my oldest, he's someone that was completely capable of being away from uh, you know, his p and still learning. It affected my daughter, though differently. She needed the support of you know, kids, her agent being there, so it's kind of hard. But one thing that I noticed was just how her comprehension. She was writing letters backwards and she didn't seem to read some things. So I went to my wife, I said, so, have they

run tests on her in terms of being dyslexic? And she said, yeah, they said she wasn't. I said, babe, I'm I'm convinced. So they ran some tests again in the fall, and that was when they confirmed that, you know, she she was dyslexic. So we've been able to get her some extra help since then. And it was just one of those things where I assumed it was something the school would have noticed being with her. Do you not notice when they're taking a test or writing? Were

you not? What one would think? Right? And I picked up in the first couple of weeks I was homeschool exactly. Well, it just goes to show you the incompetence of some of not all, because teachers are beautiful people and they don't get paid enough, but some of them just phone it in and it's sad that our kids have to go through this. So thank god that you SAWID at

a young age. Well that's the big problem, like you said, is that you know, there's not really a uniform process stayed by state or nationwide, so like, what's a great education here? And the school system where we were living was eight out of ten, which Frannie, as you know, is considered pretty good, you know. So but but they didn't pick this up. And thank god that we were able to pick it up last year, so it helps. She needs now to where you know, she's just a

little bump on the road. So good. Yeah, I commend you for doing that. I mean, we pulled our children, we whom school really yeah, they're home and we were getting ready to start probably after Labor Day, you know. But we've been doing it now, I think a year, the last year and a half or so, right when COVID hit uh huh and they we did the remote learning and then my husband were like, you know what, we're just going to do it on our own, and we have been doing it and it's been a blessing

for us. I know a lot of families don't have the opportunity because they work. You know, my husband can work from home. I'm home, so it was for us it was just a no brainer to do it. But the one thing that I'm concerned with is the socialization. And because of COVID, no groups are getting together. I know, there's zero people meeting, and so I mean, thank god I have two children because they play with each other

and we play with them. But I said, what if I had an only child and they had to be by themselves all the time, Like you know what I mean. It's just it's terrible. But hopefully everything all work itself out and we'll get back to normal. But I'm telling you it's a mess out there. I mean, I said, I thought six months ago we were out of the fire, and over the last you know, three four weeks. Now, maybe maybe we're not. No, let's hope everything after Albany,

everything after take everything day by day, that's all all right. Well, we can't let Nick go without playing a game on here. We are playing a game on the show. We are, Yes, we are, because I have to, you know, I have to show him what we can do. So we are going to play guess the autograph. Oh interesting, I know this. I'm up against the guy who does it for a living. It's gonna be fun. I mean, it's all wrestling, okay, Yeah, Look, your guests could be as good as his guests. These

are not very easy to identify. You don't know the autograph world. Okay, you don't really need to know it. Let's just see how you go. It's his forte. It's uh, you know, I disqualify myself. I can't. I can't be a competitor. Here's the here's the thing. Are we going to write them down? Okay? Okay, I'm gonna use my phone because I don't have pen and paper. Is that okay? That's on your phone? Yeah, you just have to hold it. So we're gonna go to both of you and you'll

give me your answer, and we're gonna do it. Alright, I'm gonna write it down. Here we go, and I think I know the first one, but I could be wrong. Well, you never know, you could of it could be wrong, you could be right. All right, Here we go. The first entrance into our battle Royal of autograph guessing is here's the name. Do not say it out loud until I asked for your reveal. Mmm, okay, everybody ready? What do we have? Flipp it? Yeah? But I think I'm wrong.

I wrote Kurt Angle, but then I thought it was Kurt Henning. You gotta stick with your gut, queen. It was Kurt Hendle. It's kurd Angle. Okay, that's what I wrote. Oh you did write Kurt okay, But then with the line going like that, I thought it was a G. But he spells it with a C, doesn't he? Yes, Okay, so then I was right. I wrote kurd Angle. This is his autograph has changed over the years. It happens a lot. Actually, it goes very loopy, it's very short. He's got a A, he's got a big as. Your

picture that you sent me looks nothing like that. That autograph, Nope, that's mine. Has been consistent for twenty eight years. Let me just tell you. And you've got a great signature friend, Oh thank you, Yes she does. She's she is way up there in the best wrestling signature category. Now, nick Nick. She's referencing that when I sent her a stack of pictures, I had left a kurd Angle picture in between accident in my stash, and I was like, oh, it's ale allright.

This is this one is a little harder. This one's a little harder. This one is it's a little harder. I'll give you a little closer up. You know what's funny is this? I I think I got this one. Oh, I can't say that. It looks for million. You know, I'm gonna say maybe I don't. Let me not get over confident. Yeah, don't get over confident. Can you hear me? I can hear you? What do you? All right? So here we go. Let's hear your guess is one? Two three? This is mine? Kurt Hawkins? Oh, you both are wrong?

Both wrong? Ouch. The correct answer is the late great crash Holly. Oh, I wouldn't. Yeah, no way, because I get it. We need the wamp WANMP music for for uh the double the double incorrect. Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have no womp here. Just fix your bake again? It went out again? We have no I'm talking. We have some like issues. Yeah, Mike, check, I see the mute. Yeah, yeah, here we go? All right? Sorry about that? Yeah, that's setting?

Is it really setting? This week? Zoo today? I know, right, because we thought they were every week and you never do it. We had two and a half hours of great, pure nothing wrong last week. So I like I like stream yard. I do some stuff on Zoom. From the half of all times I've used stream yard. I think it's pretty cool. All right, my mic gives out every time we use stream yard. All right, here we go, here's your third one. Okay, this is a little tough, this one. I would be curious to know if if

this guy was around. Uh when the Queen of Extreme Grace the hollow Halls of Titan Tower, I think, I think I know who you one that is, and I only cut the first name. But this man unfortunately has passed away as well. Still and he guesses, are we flipping him or no? Not yet, a disgusted look on Francine's face. I might give her an extra minute. Remember what this guy's name is? That means, that means you're probably right. All right, you can flip it. What was

his name? Renee? Yes? Yes, yeah? How about that friend Frendy's. She's hustling me over here. She's never the same thing. Last week when we played a game and I actually beat the I beat him. Yes, that's ye, that's right, I'm never gonna win this. And then I beat him by one point. Now, was there when you were there? I don't think so. Yeah, he might have been retired by that point. Was he an agent? Yeah? I know know if you still want Tony Korea was still there, right,

I don't, I don't remember. Most of the time was my agent, and then Teddy b Assi. I think they all came in after and Lanza and Grea all left, so then you probably just missed them by like two years. Okay, all right, here we go. Here's the next entrance. This one is this is ridiculous. This one. It's a pentagram that looks like a killer's autograph. If I paid money for that, I would be mad. It's better than initials, though,

I have no idea who to freak that is? This is this is a tough one that is pretty rough. So well, I'll give you guys another couple of seconds. But this is ridiculous answer because I have no idea. Yeah, uh, okay, what do you got? So I saw an em and to Ja and I wrote Marty Jeannetty one. I saw that same m and Jay and I wrote Michael J. Fox. No, it's all wrestling. I wasn't sure if Michael Fox ever tried to break in or you know, maybe this one

is so ridiculous. That is Matt Hardy, Oh wow, version one, Oh the version one. He's got the V and the line underneath. So it's Matt Hardy version one for shame. So what we're tied at two? Still you are tied at two? This one, I think is going to continue the tiebreaker. You gotta throw a couple of softballs in, you know, I can't. They can't all be easy ones. Yes, what do we got? Nasty boy? Brian knobbs a little nice little thing, he's the nasty boy. I think Gerry

Saggs might have something to say about that. In the hospital, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I saw that because whatever he's still in right as of a couple of days ago. Yeah, Because I saw Shane was down in Tampa working on some project and Jerry Saggs was there. I could only assume that Brian knob was just supposed to be there too. So I saw the hospital thing and hopefully he's well that's uh, that's that's sad. All right, I'm gonna pull this one. Let's see if you guys can get this devilish smile

you got going on, Chad. I'm keeping it small for a reason. You gotta squint for this one. I'm gonna make it work. What a rig you see? All right? I'll give it to you a little closer. Oh, thanks the frank Okay, oh I got it, I do not. I'll give it to you a little closer. I feel like cometrist. Oh why does that look like an f Okay, what do you got? I thought it was this when it was small? I wrote, Andre Andre the Giant. Yeah, I saw giant, but then it looked like Freddy Freddy Giant?

Are the Giant his little brother? Not a lot of people know about. I don't know who that is? All right? Your collection, Chad, No, this is just stuff I googled. We got the two left. You guys are tied, and I have a feeling you guys are going to be tied going into the last one. This could be this could be impossible. This one right here, all right? Impossible?

You ready? No freaking side? Oh my, now, let's keep Let's point out this is a certified autograph by PSA DNA, so this garbled, scribbling mess is a legit, authentic autograph. I think I got it, not because I know, because I think I see a name. Oh maybe, No, I don't know. That's I just changed one. All right, Let's see what do we got? I wrote, Nay, I wrote, Hey, you guys both got it. That is the correct answer. I have to get another one because the next one

was supposed to be a tiebreaker for a winner. Because it's too easy. You gotta give me one second. I gotta find a harder one, you know, we gotta have a winner. Before I put Natty in, when I looked at it again, I wrote, nature boy, Buddy Landell. There was a hard in there, so I figured that maybe nature boy, you know. But then I'm like, oh wait, I think that's more Natty. Yeah, but that's a mess. That's bad. That's okay. This is a good one, boy. All right, here we go. You ready. Yeah, the the

tie breaker to end all tie breakers. Lucy Ball. I don't know if she ever competed that. Maybe was Is there a love Lucy? I thought there was everything else. I'm thinking of the month. I know the monsters have it. I would I don't remember if I love Lucy has it? This one's uh, this is a good one. Can I take just one second to look please? I, you know, do whatever you gotta do, genealogy, you know, cryptographing, whatever it takes. I feel like this is almost like art.

You have to like, look closer. Yeah, like, I can't make now half of these letters. Uh, I would personally love this in my collection. Not on a piece of blue sleeve paper. I'm like something, but gotta think back in the day, this is the only sometimes people just had a piece of paper. You hand it over. I'm sure you scribbled on your fair share of just notebooks or whatever. Guys wearing like a faded you know, like Phillies T shirt. He signed my arm. I signed a

guy's arm and he got it tattooed. That's intense. That's just called dedication. So all right, later, let's take some guesses. Okay, I don't think this is right, but I'm gonna autocorrected, but I'm gonna it's supposed to be Fritz van Eric, not Fritz Avon Eric, which is not too far from where I am Connecticut. Avon. Yeah, I wrote Terry Funk. I have no clue. Well, you both you're gonna end this one and a tie to both of you. I'm okay with a tie. Yeah, I'm okay with you both.

Had you both had five right and three wrong, this would be the third. I will show you who the easy one was that I was going to end it on to see if you guys would have known this. But it's pretty yeah, pretty that man. That one's pretty easy to identify. The correct very expensive autograph. Yes, the correct answer was Lord Alfred Hayes. Oh wow, wow, Yeah. I wasn't getting that promotional consideration paid for by the following.

I didn't see that at all. I just wrote tardy because I love him, but he got a love a love vote. But uh, well we're gonna miss the baby shower, so tell everybody where they can find Rachel and Paul ellery Next week, well, uh we'll be We'll be streaming live course Friday, August twenty seven from seven to eleven pm.
