Speaker 1

Today we're here to talk about Athletic Greens. Athletic Greens is a product that I've worked into my daily routine because I wanted more energy, I wanted better gut health, and I wanted to optimize my immune system. I hate taking vitamins, I hate taking pills every single day, so I wanted a supplement that actually tastes grapes. But I

also wanted to see what the hype was about. And I've been taking it for about two weeks and it doesn't taste like it's super healthy, but it's got kind of a mild tropical taste that I actually look forward to each morning. With one delicious scoop of AG one, you're absorbing seventy five high quality vitamins, minerals, whole food source superfoods, and probiotics that help you start your day right.

This special blend of ingredient supports your gut health, your nervous system, your immune system, your energy, your recovery, your focus, and of course your aging. Every morning I start off with my Athletic Greens. I get up before I have anything to eat, I load it up, I take a swig, and I'm ready to start my day. Rolling in the right direction. What I've noticed, I've noticed a lot of

extra energy. I've noticed a little bit more awareness and a little bit more of that extra push that I need to get everything done in a daily routine that normally I'd be dragging and I'd be complaining the whole entire day. But I was also in the group of the tons of people that take some kind of multi vitamin and every day having to replace each pill, each vitamin, each supplement, and I decided it's important to choose one with high quality ingredients that your body will actually absorb.

One thing I'll say about Athletic Greens It's lifestyle friendly. Whether you eat keto, paleo, vegan, dairy free, or gluten free, Athletic Greens is the supplement for you. It contains less than one gram of sugar, no GMOs, no nasty chemicals or artificial anything, while still tasting good. It supports better sleep quality and recovery, supports mental clarity and alertness. It's

the one thing with the best things. Athletic Greens uses the best of the best products based on the latest science, with constant product of iterations in third party testing, and the most important part it costs less than three dollars a day, so you're investing in your health and it's cheaper than your cold brew habit at Starbucks. But it's also cheaper than getting all the different supplements yourself. You're simply investing in an all in one nutritional insurance. But

don't just listen to me. Athletic Greens has over seven thousand and five star reviews, It's been recommended by professional athletes and is trusted by leading health experts such as Tim Ferris and Michael Gervais. So right now, it's time to reclaim your health and arm your immune system with convenient daily nutrition. It's just one scoop in a cup of water every day. That's it. No need for a million different pills and supplements to look out for your health.

And to make it easy, Athletic Greens is going to give you a free one year's supply of immune supporting Vitamin D and five free travel packs with your purchase. All you have to do is visit Athleticgreens dot com slash franccene again, that's Athleticgreens dot com slash francien to take ownership over your health and pick up the Ultimate Daily Nutrition Insurance. All right, it's just a new thing brought.

Let's get back in here and say brand new episode of Eyes up here and you're listening to his Patreon as well as on the Creative Control Network, Ydia, didn't you know by now? My name is Chad and every single week I'm joined here by Movin and Weaven the head No. One and only between the Extreme Franco seeing me on my poll right now if you had the audio video, I haven't groven to this team now, it's pretty cool. How are we haven't seen you in a while? I mean we him off with a huge week last

week you throw downhill from there. Oh no, I don't want to go I want to keep going off. I got to exciting news that i'd like to plug real quick. Get the word out because we're trying to sell this place out. So my next booking is in the Hazleton, PA area, which I haven't been there in probably eighty

seven years. So my big return to Hazelton, and I'm gonna be with Jazz, which is really exciting and it's it's gonna be builled as Extreme Fight Night, and it's at a place called the Sanctuary, So it's one seventy two North Wyoming Street in Hazleton. Tickets are going to be on sale at event Bright, which I'm not too familiar with. I've heard of it, but it's supposed to be super easy. Just click on it and look for

our event. It's called the Extreme Fight Night and when this airs, it'll be up and running, so I'll be there. Like I said, Jazz is going to be there one of the beautiful people, and Alena Love is gonna be joining us. ECW, your original angel Orsini, and also the ECW, your original Sinister Minister also known as Father Mitchell, will be on the show, and you never know who else

is gonna pop up. So again, it's Extreme Flight Night, and it's pretty exciting and I'm excited to be a part of it because you know, we're staring off on one show. Maybe we'll go to two, maybe we'll have ten. I don't know what we're gonna do, but uh, if you're in the area or can make the trip, just go to event Bright and look us up and hope hopefully you can all make it and there might be a meet and Green involved too, so you know we're gonna make a day of it. It's gonna be fun

Gonna be some good stuff. So come on over and support us and say hello. Yeah. The Sanctuary is a really cool venue. It's a former church on tool Correct and I've never been, but I've seen that. I saw when it first opened a few years ago and watched like the progress. It's so cool

what they were able to do it. It should be if it's in Hazelton, PA and be on the outside of Philly radius. Yeah. Well, the whole church thing is kind of weird. You know. It used to be a house of worship and now you can see concert sporting events, so it's kind of a that's a big change. A lot of wrestling too. The Yeah, absolutely very cool. I'm excited to go check it out, so I hope everybody else does too. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, it's funny.

There's not that much wrestling news for us to talk about this week as compared to last week. At the moment, but that always changes with every twist and turn. So I mean, I can't really say anything that hasn't been said already. But this has been quite the time to be a wrestling fullow. Yeah, it really has been. I'm glad we have a guest today because we would have had an hour to fell complicated. But yeah, it's been.

It's been a hell of a couple of weeks. And like we said before, hopefully everybody can come as one and reunite for a better cause, which is wrestling, just just wrestling in general, and jobs and security and not walking on eggshells wondering if we're going to survive or not, because that is the worst feeling in the world. You know. I went through it showing up not knowing if this is going to be your last shot or not, you know, and wondering if you're going to get kicked off TV.

These guys are going to be answering that question now for the next thirty years of what really happened that night, And there'll be another little twist that comes out in ten years, and then somebody else will say something in a book, and good lord, do you think if Dark Side of the Ring was still around this would be an episode. Oh, I don't know. Possibly, that's a damn

good question. That would have been a good one. It's not the first time stuff like this has happened, but you know, like we made it a point to say, they just went public with too much personal stuff. So who knows what's going to happen while everybody's here and listening. I would like to plug our YouTube channel. Yeah, how

about that. I gotta say, there's nothing more exciting than creating a YouTube video and seeing you know, the comments and stuff, and I can put you over, which I'm not just doing it because you're sitting across from me on this video screen. Enough, there's not a You will not find another personality who interacts with everybody in those comments like you do, and whether it's a positive or

negative comment, you were right there. And I love this My favorite part when they say something stupid and you call them out and they back down. They never answer me, like, don't say something, and I'll go, okay, you're only out your opinion, but explain how so crickets nothing. And then there's the one guy. You always post the porn links in another language and I always write back, huh what well,

that's YouTube for you. You're gonna get he is talking about the only part of that I understand is blonde, brunette, redhead. Everything else I don't even know what the hell he's talking about. But every video this guy comes in, he comments under different aliases, so it's pretty funny. But yeah, the haters don't answer me. I'm willing to have an open discussion with them, but they they just won't respond.

Am I that intimidating one there? I don't think I gonna hate, they will hate, and uh, you know, I love my haters just as much as I love my lovers. So keep commenting, good or bad. We want your Yeah, I just don't know if if you're gonna say something, don't be a pussy and answer me. If I'm calling you out, answer me, tell me why. That's the dirt sheet headline Francine calls fans pussies. You're taking it the

wrong way, absolutely the wrong way. But it's true. It's like, if you want to engage, if you're trying to rile me up, Okay, you have my attention, answer me, and they never do. They never do. So, yeah, that's what I said. But we have some good content on there, and I think people are really digging the clips that were putting up. Well, we're planning to do another live soon, so maybe next week, possibly not on Thursday, though I don't know what day is this. I don't even know

what we're doing right now. Monday, but not Thursday next week. It is Thursday. Busy that day? Oh what are you doing? Can you elaborate a big monumental day? That day? Somebody's fortieth birthday? National holiday? From what it is? But your birthday? But your party is not actually on that day? Correct? Okay? A party in which I still didn't get an invitation. I did not make out the guest list. Well, then I guess Liz is on my ship list. Well, let me let me clarify that. I said the guest list

is infinite. I just didn't select who was coming. I see. Well, now I know what Liz thinks about me, so I will no longer as the lovely list. She thinks very highly of you. She is just a demon from now on since I'm not invited to your party. What a meanie. But yeah, I don't know anything about that outside of the day it's happening. Because I had to move I would be more offended if we lived near each other. And I know I'm not. I'm not You're not You're not you know, but I hope you have a depend

It's time, Oh man leading up to the Big four? Oh, how do you feel? Do you feel like your life is over? No? It's weird because I feel like I feel like the last couple of weeks, I felt really good in the summertime, I was feeling down. Now I feel like, okay, because I don't know, it's just such a it's now. I think I'm looking at it as it's just a number, because I don't it's the number feel forty. I don't think I look forty. So I don't know. I'll just kind of coast off of that

for now. It's like any midlife crisis kicking in. No, No, okay, See, I had mine at thirty. I think we went over this. I had mine at thirty. I thought my life was over and I wanted to die, and I went through a depression and all this. I mean, it wasn't funny at the time. You know, I was single and lost my job and didn't know what was going to happen and all this stuff. It hit me early, and then my fortieth I was really happy. In my fiftieth, I'm like,

this is great, this is awesome, you know. So I'm glad I got it over with twenty years ago because now I'm just coasting through life. Yo. I think, if anything more, I'm looking back at a lot of the stupid decisions that I made. It might be when you get yeah only yolo. Yeah, like the stupid decisions I made in my early thirties, which seems like ancient history

even though it's only ten years ago. But you know, ten years ago I moved to Virginia, you know, completely let my career take off, and had all this crazy stuff go on in between, you know, business stuff, career change. Then in the middle of I don't know, it's just been interesting. I'm more reflective, but not like in a negative way, more like moving forward because last couple of weeks have been pretty freaking phenomenal. As of this moment,

nothing nothing but good. What can happen? It's right, you have to take a chance in life. I mean, you know me, I'm very honest with you when we talk. I mean I could be up, I could be down. Sure, I'm kind of like right here, right now. Everything's gravy. That's good. That's good. You have a beautiful family, your career is booming. I mean, what do you have to be sad about? Nothing? Nothing, So be happy, That's what I say. I will well, wonderful. Well. Our guest is

just popped up, pretty little thing that she is. She is an Indie darling. Her name is Aria Blake. You might know her. Hello, doll, baby, how are you hi? I'm good? How are y'all? I'm great, fantastic than listen, guys. She is a one year old and little James is adorable. I love seeing pictures because you know, my kids are older now, they're thirteen and ten, so that age when they were like that tiny little chunk and starting to explore and walk around, and I'm just looking at your

pictures and I'm just like reliving everything. He's adorable. Yes, thank you. I He is like saying mama now consistently, and now that he learned it, he's just like babbling it NonStop, like my mama, mamma. And he's like holding onto his playten and like taking his little steps and then falling on his butt. He's doing mm hmm. That's great. Now did he say dad yet? Is Tej like pissed off that he said mama first? Because that's no he

has said dad, but mama is the latest. Yeah. And then I think earlier this morning, like a couple of hours ago, he said Mama, Dad, Dad. I was like, who taught you that? I've never like said it back to back for him, That's who said it. He's so cute. I just thank you his little cheats, I know, so cute. So I met you through Shannon asking at wrestle Con. I think it was a New Orleans Yeah, I think that was twenty eighteen. Yeah, I think it was. And she was so cute. Can't remember the table it was

you because there was this little clique. It was like you and Selena Jamie was there and you were just like, oh my god. I think you said something like it's like I loved you in ECW And you were so cute though, And I just remember Shannon telling me, oh, these are the ones to watch out for. These are the generation. I was like, Okay, I'm gonna keep my eye on these girls. And you've all done a lot since that's so, how did you could you look? First

of all, you look like you're twelve. I was very young, Thank you. How I get involved in this wacky world of wrestling? So I got involved around twenty fourteen. I started training and then I debuted in the beginning of twenty fifteen, and it was in like a skin Battle Royal, so it was a like a singles match or anything. I had my first real like singles match in October of that year, and I believe that's where I met

Shannon for the first time. Was at Shine in Tampa, Florida. Okay, and it was not a great match at all, and but I mean, uh, it's definitely lefty places to go up from there, just Jayles and Angelina love. Okay, Okay, all right, so you work this show? Now, are you like, are you saying yourself, Oh my god, I'm pissed off. This is not something I want to do. Like, were you down upon yourself because of that one match? Or were you like, now, I'm just going to keep training

and get better. The latter I say, like, after it happened, I was like, I didn't really have an opinion on it. I was just like, it's over. That happened. And it wasn't until I started getting feedback, and I was like, man, that's stuff, Like, I mean, I didn't expect to go there in a five star match for my first life one on one match, but yeah, it just motivated me to keep improving and learn what to fix and onward. Enoughwards, listen, we all look back at ourselves and cringe at the

way we started out. I mean, some of the things that I came out in and the way my hair and clothing work. Like, good lord, So don't don't worry about it. It happens. But you were located in Florida at the time. Yes, okay, so you're training down there. How did you, like, did you work the indies a

lot before you got involved? I guess you did with MLW, Right, Yeah, I think that my MLW stuff started around there read at the end of twenty seventeen ish, and I was like kind of injured at the time, so I was trying to be involved, but not in like a physical capacity.

So I started as like the backstage interviewer stuff like that works my way up to managing how to match with MJS as a tag partner, and then just manage a couple of other teams and still the indies here and there, but it would be cool to go back to MW. Yeah for now, Well you just had a baby, so yeah, you're just getting your feet wet again in the sport. Are you actively taking bookings? I mean, is it because your your fiance is working a lot. He's in MLW, isn't he at the or yeah? He does

their shows? And then right now he's in Japan. Okay, so like my bookings, I have to be more selective. Unfortunately, it's not like before I had him, when I could just take any booking anywhere. I have to like make sure our schedules line up. And like thankfully his mom pe did. Mom lives nearby, so like if I am taking a booking in La, like she kind of outside it so she can either babysit him or come watch

and watch him during the show. But I just yeah, unfortunately, today's looking path to come first because they are much more profitable and they they're more legal bindings. So yeah, I just I do what I can here and there. I'm not trying to go full speed, like he said, it's turning at my feet wet. See where I've been in and wrestling right now, Yeah, I'm assuming that you missed performing while Yeah, right, but if you had to choose,

what do you prefer. Do you prefer being in front of a crowd or do you prefer being with your little one at home? Oh my god, my little one. There's nothing like the other one, because I was, no, he's the best crowd. Yeah he's he's so freaking cute. So pandemic hits, mm hmm. You're kind of we're all out of job, We're all trying to find stuff to do. I know you have an only fans. How's that going

for you? Pretty good? I did start during the pandemic, like in July twenty twenty, so once I kind of got the feel that, like, okay, the world is on pause right now, and subscription based content was the best way to make money. So that's what it was, and it's still doing really well. I have a paid page that right now I think is in like the top six percent, but it fluctuates so much, like I don't really know what that means or how did admit it is. I think it's doing well. I can live so yeah.

I mean, as long as you're you're getting paid subscriptions, you'll be fine. I tried it for what did I have mine? For four or five months, I did not do any adult content. I was trying to do like a PG page. And the first month I made so much money. I was like, this is going to be great. And then yeah, and we want you naked and we want you this and put this in your hole and blah blah blah, and I'm just like, y, Yeah. The d ms were out of control and I couldn't I

couldn't sleep at night. I was getting anxiety to the point that I was getting sick to my stomach. This is not a lie. And I even I was telling my husband. I'm like, I don't think I can do this anymore. I can't, Like, I don't care how much the money Like for me, I just do you encounter rude like how do you deal with the rude fans because you don't want to you don't want to feel them back and then lose the subscription. But at the point I was with I was like, well, screw you,

I'm closing this anyway. I don't even care anymore, right, I don't know. I find that they being like I don't do adult things either, but like, for example, I've had somebody be like can you put a Q cover in like your buttthole or something, And I'm like, I'm I'm not going to risk permanent damage my body for you to get off. Oh my gosh. I'm like, so that's stuff insane, And I kind of like I don't

necessarily roast them to their faith. Like I have my screenshot it and send it to my fiance like my friends and be like, yeah, I look at this, But to the person, I'll just be like, you know, that's not really something I'm comfortable with, and maybe you can find someone out there like accommodate your unique needs. Yeah, I'm sure there's some person with the anatomy that can

do what you want. Yeah, Like stuff like that, I just I kind of just try to laugh it off, like it's thankfully never been anything that I have felt too much anxiety for. But there is a pressure there where I'm like, oh, there's money, but that involved doing X, Y Z, and I'm not comfortable with all of it

or some of it or whatever. So it's right. It's not like pick your battles, but like pick your what you're comfy with, and like I try to just make it abundantly clear that like do not press my boundaries, like, do not waste my time, because like then I'll start to get like a bit of an attitude if you just keep pushing and pushing, like that's where the problem comes. But I think initially trying to just kindly be like,

knock it off is a good strategy for me so far. Yeah, and you're you're doing it the correct way because you want the page to keep thriving. At this point, I was just so gunna he on shutting everything down. I was just like telling everybody, you know, not cursing at them, but just explaining your being a dickhead. And here's why, blah blah blah. I said no forty two times. And you know that's the thing I don't like. I don't

frewn upon adult content. But I'm fifty. I'm not comfortable, Like I've never done adult content my whole life, so now at age. But what did I have it? A couple of years ago? I guess it was when the pandemic first started. So I was like forty seven ish or something like that, and me and Shannon both opened the pages up because we were like, oh, maybe we

can make some money. You know, we had no idea, because at that point it was just like the porn girls were doing it, and now it started branching off to where, oh there's a cooking channel. This lady's just making pot roast. Oh if she can make pot roast, maybe I can sell a bikini pick and get away with it. But of course they didn't want a bikini pick. They wanted more. So that's why my page just failed miserably.

But I got a couple of good ones. But you have to like be creative when you're home, and especially now with a baby. You know, I did see that you wanted to start your own podcast. Are you working on that? Yes, I am. I have one episode in the can right now, so I just need to edit it and figure it out. I recorded it on Doom, though, so it only recorded my guests, didn't record like this frame of me at all for my voice, so it's like it's like just looking at him talking to somebody

like off in the distance. So it's kind of funny, but it's one of my good friends, and like, I just got to figure that all out, and I was going to have like regular guests like the week that I recorded with him, but we had like smoke alarms going off in here that I could not figure out sure, and TJ's gone, So I'm like, I don't understand, like the sounds coming from the ceiling or that room over there, or I have to go mess with a breaker and

I don't know these things. And thankfully, like my dad and my mom came into town the next day, like they're like real adults, so they can fix it for me. But for a while, I was just like, I would love to record podcasts, but there's he closed the door. It's behind there, you go, I wish that worked. Well, what's the What is the name of the podcast? It is temporarily called the brat Chat, but I think there might already be a podcast called that, so I have

to change and I don't know. Okay, that's a cute name. You scared me yesterday a little bit, I hear myself. Yeah, so she and I'm just bringing it up because you put it out there, and that's how I saw it. She got a one year old in the car and she runs down the gas and she stuck on the side of the road. What happened? Did you not look at your gas tank before you left your house? It was fine when I left the house. It was on the way back that it started to get not fine

and progressively less fine. And I was one exit from my house and there's a gas station right there, so it's like I could see it, bro, and I just imitated by, like by like not even a mile like it. I just was so frustrated. Thankfully, my dad got me triple a like when I started doing like wrestling road trips, right, I've all said that, and they came out and helped. We're like shit, it was I it was one hundred and eight outside, and I was just like, oh, this

is inconvenient. I have James. Of course, it's not like he is at home with him, and I picked like in the desert, no one in this little baby in a car, and I'm just like, oh, good lord, I hope somebody helps her. I felt so bad for you yesterday. Oh thank you. But though they're on a big highways, the two fifteen, so lots of people around if needed to be, and like, if I ever felt like in any real real danger, I could have like called cops

or something. And thankfully, like Melissa Santos lives nearby, so I like I was like texting and calling her. But like the thing is was how far she was. It would have been like by the time that she would have got to me Triple A when it got to me, So it was it's just a matter of time. And like people were setting me money. I'm like, thanks guys, but the problem is, like Triple A is not getting here.

You can keep sending me money, It's fine. Yes, I have gas money, I just don't have the gas station, like right, And it's so funny, but you can see it in the well. Maybe it was a mirage. You know, there's old cartoons and there's no water. Oh my god, you're you're living in Vegas? Is that unfortunately? Yeah? So are you there because of your fiance? Yeah? Yeah, it's

because he owns this house and Florida. I was living in an apartment and my leaf was up God's pregnant, so I was like the ability would be nice, so came out here where he has the house. It's a lot easier for me to like find somewhere new to live when I have a broken leafs or whatever, and like he has a house. How is the wrestling out there? Because you really, like I don't on the East Coast, but I really don't hear a lot about like West Coast.

Once in a while, i'll hear like California is having something, but I don't hear much about Vegas. Yeah, like the indies out here, I believe there's like three companies and one of them is like a venue two, so like other companies will run out of it like different. It's a lot of like the same people on the same shows. People from Vegas, Arizona, and California tend to like run on the same like like mid the're California, MD were taken, but at the scene in Florida there's here mhm. Unfortunately

I didn't hear any of that. Right, it cut out big time. You're starting to go in and out. Try it again. Now it's cooking a little bit you. It might be your you might be your earbuds. So let's see well done, because I want to hear that answer all right now go try yes? Would you mind repeat? I'm so sorry I answer, but I couldn't hear a thing. So pretty much in Vegas, we don't have a lot

out here. We kind of lean heavily on their being shows in like Arizona, especially like near l A. There's a lot of like LUCA shows, and there's different schools out there that do student shows and things like that. But Vegas itself is just it's a lot of like the same people on the same kind of shows, three promotions. Like there's not really much to work with, but it's a lot of my work personally has been in LA

and like parts of California out there. I was gonna say, do you have like one main promotion that you're a main stay at that you're running with these days or is it just like random? It's more random. I feel like I haven't been back consistently enough to be like a mainstay yet, gotcha. But like here in Vegas, like my favorite is Versus Pro Wrestling, and like it's a really good place. I worked for them earlier in February and then again I think in July juneish, so that's

my favorite place out here. But in LA. I'll be at three p w A Wrestling this weekend, and I did a run in there earlier this year, but this is my first like ring debut with them. I've done a few LUCA shows out there. It's it's pretty like interesting how the variety is in California. Yeah, well your your work is hell right, you're the spoiled brat. Is that your gimmicks? So you have a heel persona correct, yes, and you're doing sing those you're not doing tags right? Yeah?

I do not have a tag? Fine, I would like one, Okay, Yeah, tag wrestling is a little easier than to take less bumps. But no, that's good. I mean, do you see yourself trying to work more as as James gets older? Like, because I know it's it's I mean, look, motherhood's the best thing that ever happened to me. I quit the business altogether to raise my children, and then I got sucked back in because now they're old enough to where my husband's like, yeah, you can start going away again.

So the last four or five years, I've just been doing like a lot of conventions and stuff because the money is there. Do you see yourself getting back into it and trying to get a spot because you're still young? You're very young. I so I am happy doing what I'm doing now where it's like not it's less than part time wrestlings super full time mommying. Yeah, but like there would be benefits to being like if I was a full time contracted wrestler somewhere like with stability, like

financial benefits being seen, more benefits. But I just I don't know, like that's right now. With him being so young, it's a little bit easier because he's not aware, but like when he becomes cognitive of like I miss mommy or I miss daddy, Like it's gonna be hard and I'm gonna feel bad. Is so messy, I don't know. Yeah, it was a way to like be a contracted like part timer and only work like once a month, Like

that would be a prop lesser. You know, when you get to that status, maybe you can pick and choose what you want to do. Now's listening and wants to offer that any promoters out there looking for a once a month kind of girl, Yeah, you literally said times a year. It's fine, that's fine. You're getting married. Do

do you guys have a date? Not really, we wanted to do it October of this year, but like with James's first birthday being in September, we're like, that's so close to have like back to back like bigger events. And my family's in Florida. His family's in southern California, like not as far but still like a travel So I'm thinking we might wait until we move back to Florida and then do like the actual ceremony. Okay, so there's and stuff. There's a move coming up. There was

hopefully a move coming up. I hate it here. It's so hot, but yeah, like legally like just doing the like marriage bureau and paperwork kind of part. Like that's the part we're thinking of doing sooner. And it's so funny because she's like, oh my god, it's so hot in Las Vegas, and like when we go down to Florida, we're like, wow, it's really hot in Florida, And but Floridas don't see that as hot because you're used to it. Then you go out to uh to La and you

go to Nevada and it's like piping hot. It's a different Yeah. I guess it's like that baking kind of or like where the wind blows it feels like an hair like a hair dryer in your face, and like Florida's like humid, like wet. Yeah, were you a Disney

person when you were down in uh Florida? Sometimes? Yeah, Like I did have an annual pass at one point and like sween and I would go all the time, but then I just kind of like just kind of the entries kind of fell off because I've gone so many times in like that calendar year with her, Like you would literally just go there to get like Starbucks and that's around for like ten minutes and then be like we're gonna go by. Wow. My dream is to move to Florida. Yeah, from a Disney blogger, that's like

my dream in life. You got to Disneyland? Yeah, oh yeah, I've been the Disney Well, I've been the Disney World I think thirteen or fourteen times, and then I've been to Disneyland four times. Oh okay, nice, I just yeah this time in July. Did you like it? A lots closed right now? So you didn't like fun as closed and they're revamping a lot of stuff. But it's different. It's very different, and it felt much smaller than definitely the castle is like this big, like size of like

a house or two. But yeah, yeah, the Castle in Orlando is insane. But going to Dine it was cute. Like we took James and it was his first time in a theme park and my first time at Disneyland and TJ had a friend who worked there, so like we didn't have to pay it was expensive. Yeah, well, yeah, I enjoyed that it has two different parks because I'm used to Orlando having four park options and then the water park options and you can write stuff like the

ESPN experience or whatever. Yeah, it was fun, though. I need to go back when it's not as hot in July. There you go. Do you think there'll be another little one in the future? You see yourself multiple? Yeah, one more, one more. I would have had five, but I was too old, and my husband said, no, you're so out numbered with five. Though you're out numbered with two, and there's two of us, and sometimes you're still outnumbered with

the two. But good. I have a boy and a girl and they're beautiful, healthy kids, and I mean, I couldn't ask for more. I remember the nurse when I was leaving the nurse after my daughter was born, she's my first, and she said, you have to wait two years, and I'm like, why we tell everybody wait two years? It's the best thing you'll ever do. And that just stuck in my head. So I had my son. My daughter was like two year seven months, and you know,

they're thirteen and ten now, and I'm glad. I waited a little but then I was like, well, if I had them closer, maybe they would have been a little closer. I don't know, but it's what. It's just what you can handle, you know. And they're they're they're a handful either way. But I think two kids is great. Yeah, I think two is a good number. We have a boy, we would like a girl. But if we get like James,

is be cool. It's fine. Healthy baby, yes, how as long as they're healthy and happy and like I have all their body parts, it's all good. Oh yeah, absolutely, well. I think motherhood looks great on you. You're you have a glow to your face and you know, yeah right, I'm very happy for you. Do you have anything that you want to plug that our listeners can support you with? Uh? That only fans, we're talking about earlier OnlyFans. Dot com slash Aria Blake Official, my Twitter is I'm Aria Blake

and Instagram is the Aria Blake. Okay, last question, weirdest gift that a fan has brought you? Because mine is an egg plant, like just a single eggplant was like an egg plant yes, yeh, like uphemism for like, you know, back then, it wasn't the text messages weren't really a thing, so it wasn't like a little eggplant peach wet emoji kind of crap that wasn't even out there. He just was like, oh, I went to an organic farmer's market and thought of you, here's an egg plant, and I

was just like that's just yeah. Everybody's like, you're gonna throw it away? Right. It sucks because you sometimes like I'll get cake, They'll bring like a beautiful cake and they're like, don't you eat that? So I have to throw it away because you never know what you put in the food. Yeah, Like I've had people offer like, oh, I'm I'm gonna go buy Starbucks before the show, would you like me to get you anything? And I'm like, at best you can give me something that is fully

canned and it's never seen life. Yeah, but weird, like I don't thankfully, I don't think i'vever seend anything really weird that sticks out in my mind. But I guess what is somewhat similar is I had sold gear to a guy in Australia and it's like one of my first outs of gear. It was just a green like top that way like this and booty shorts. And he sent me a picture of wearing it and it was he was not my size. And this was when I

was like nineteen or just for twenty. I was really tiny and this guy just like it looks crazy on him. It was jungle hanging out in the front. You tell that there was something there. It wasn't flat like a girl. But he was wearing it to go do like session wrestling, like with a like wearing a girl. Oh that's great or but fun. Okay. I love that, you know, to each their own. I say it all the time, like whatever, float your boat, but then they share it with everyone.

It's like, yeah, I'm like, I didn't ask to see it. I love that. I appreciate you taking the time to come on.

That's pretty good, Joe, She's so cute. I met her, like I said the day that I met Selena, and I met Jamie Uh

and I met r J City like that. Whole little clique came wandering over to the table and I got to meet all the young ins and they all started calling me mom, and it was a very nice movement, and I didn't feel old at all. I didn't care. But they're cute and she's a good little talent. So you're listening, promoters, Booker, if you're on the West coast. Very nice fun. Yeah, all right, Well I'm trying to think October. I already plugged that one show. I have

the Baltimore Celibfest. Yes, October sixteenth, I believe a Sunday. Is it in Baltimore. It's called the Baltimore It's like outside Baltimore. It's Baltimore Ish Okay. So I'll be there from twelve to four. I believe I'll be with Shark Boy. And I have not seen hit, yes, and I haven't seen him in quite a while. Yeah. We interviewed him two years ago, three years Yeah, I saw him right. That's when I saw him this because I think it was a wrestle con, one of the wrestle cons, and

then I was like, hey, you gotta come on. He was with Jimmy Wyangyang and I was like, you gotta come on the show. So I think him and I are booked under the same guy, so we'll be sitting at the table together and Hack is there, but he doesn't know times or dates or where he's going to be, so I'm hoping he's near our table as well. So if you're in the area in Baltimore, come see us and then Heroes and Legends. Did I get that right this time? October twenty sixth on your Twitter? I don't know,

but it's in my cozy app. Going to be pretty oh October, I'm wrong. October twenty ninth, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Shane Douglas and I coming in for a nice gentleman named Scott who I just did a YouTube interview with Scott Hewitt I believe his name is. I don't know what the channel is, damn it, but I did tweet it, so go listen to it and support Scott and subscribe and all that good stuff. But yeah, that's coming up

as well, so that'll be fun. We're working with Shane's a Breeze or sand Man or any of the guys, you know. I was just on the phone with Jerry this week and we were saying like, I think he's coming to Russell Cage, So we're excited, right, We're going to go to dinner and all that good stuff. So I haven't seen him in forever, probably since last year in Albany, right, yeah, I think that's the last time I did see him actually, So it'll be nice and

hopefully him, Shane, I, whoever else is there. We can get together and go to dinner and enjoy some adult beverages and just hang out, you know, and just just talk about the good old days. That's why I love these conventions. It's so fun to reminisce and to get to see old friends. Yeah, and also we talked about it last week, but we should really show it. But

you're pro wrestling teas store. Thank you for that, all of your wonderful shirt options, including the eyes up here, which I gotta be honest, I cannot wear that around the house. So Eyes of Peer, the Eyes of Peer shirt you have in the store. Oh well, that wasn't meant for you, dear. I was meant for the other wrestling things you wear. You can't work a worker. I love that one. That's one of thing has to be one of my favorite sayings like ever and I love that.

I love that too. I came up with that. I used to always say that to people. Come on, then somebody trying to work and you can't work a worker. And then I said, I'm gonna put it on a T shirt and I did so. Hopefully everybody goes and supports me, because I really like these shirts. They're really good, and I think they're a they're worthy of you know, a bye. I think it's a steal for twenty one ninety nine. Well without a doubt. I mean it's a

good thing. I have a birthday coming. Oh, I already bought you the Eyes of Pear shirt that you am sorry forget for that. Yeah, they're good. And the funny part is I don't even know what I sell because I think the email that the receipts go to I lost the password, So I don't even know what comes in until we get the PayPal payments that to us. But hopefully it's going to be a good one and we'll see what happens. Yeah. But uh so October, I got three weekends and then we have the big rustle

That was like, oh so nice, the Batman, whoever it was. If you're listening, thank you. But we're gonna do it again and I and I have some big, big money items that I'm gonna put up and it's gonna be glorious. I can't wait.

meet me somewhere. I forget because I didn't finish. I forgot. I think I forgot the queen of everybody. I wrote like to whoever stay extreme, I hope you have a great year or just something weird. And then I didn't and he's like, he calls me. He goes, yeah, you didn't sign your name. I was like, what. Then you started writing your grocery list on the picture because you were so drunk.

I lived there for a year or I didn't see anything. Come on, you didn't look hard enough. Apparently we're going to play a game that is called Name the Celebrity. I'm going to give you a picture and we're gonna guess who this celebrity is. But it's not as easy as you think. It's a

little vintage. So are they wearing lucha libre mask and I can't see their faces? Maybe I'm not gonna spoil it and then for our watch along, I'm calling this pick your poison. I'm going to give you two choices and you're going to select which one we are going to pick. It's either A or B. I'm gonna pick A right off the bed. I don't even know what they are.
