Speaker 1

All right, let's get it going right here, right now. This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to brand new Eyes up Here episode exclusively on our Patreon channel and simulcast later in the week on the Creed of Control podcasting network. You didn't know by now, my name is chadd In. Every single week I'm joined here by e CW's Queen of Extreme, the one and only Twitch streamer, the Wheeling Dealer. She's she's all over the place right now.

It's the Queen of Extreme Francy. Hello, Hello, hello everyone. How are we today? Oh? We're great, We're lovely. I've got my Mike Nesmith style hat on today. I was trying to switch it up beautiful cap ah. Yeah, I just listened to words this morning. Oh there you got ready? What are you good? How about that? Yes? So how's everything going? Oh boy? No, no, no, no no, it wasn't a I'm trying to think I had something I

wanted to talk about and completely left my brain. But I was like, you know, it was an okay week. I think it was the week before and the week before that it was like, holy shit, what's it going to take to get to our recording day? But I don't know. This week seemed a little bit uh more at ease. The weather's been the shits. It's been cold, it's been snowy, so I know I'm over it. Actually,

we got a generator put in. Oh yeah, because you know this this weather up north is just horrible, like you said, and we we lost power a couple of times, and we're sick of losing power. So yesterday we had no power because they had to do the wiring. It was a little chilly in the house. But I think it'll be worth it in the long run, and we

don't have to worry about, you know, losing power. Or the last time we lost power, I had like a buttload of cameos to do and I had to go to my car and use my cigarette later to light my h to charge my phone up so I could do the cameos because I had no way to charge the phone. So now we're we're gonna be okay with the generator. But that's what we had some construction going on in the house yesterday. It was cold and loud

in here. Now, how about we could do some blair Witch style cameos, perhaps, you know the dark angle with the looking up. You know, I did one cameo. I'm not going to mention names, but I did a cameo for a man who wanted me to be a giant, and no, this is this is the truth. He wanted me to be a giant, and he wanted the phone to be like on the floor, so it was level with the ground. And I had to stomp on people like Godzilla. So I'm gonna just let that one sit

for a second. I did it, you know. I had to look down and just put my foot over the camera and just stomp the camera and I was I was Godzilla. Yes, So countos are fun, oh, you know. I mean, it's creativity, it's what's going on in people's minds. I mean, it's a whole another freaking universe out there. It is very special. And I appreciate everyone who books with me, and I feel like their ideas, even though they're out there, they are fun to do. And I think,

I I'm trying to think. I think I only turned down one one or two, and one was really weird. I think I mentioned it. He wanted me to be rate his mother and call it a bitch, and then he said he was he was infatuated by his mother, and I was like, this is getting weird and I don't like it and you need to like leave Melan. So yeah, but like some Bates Motel shit going on there, it was a little weird. But yeah, they're they're fine. And the best ones are when I get to heal people.

And I have one today that I have to do that actually too that I have to do that are all about healing the client. So I'm ready right into the bitch mode and heal some people. I'm just trying to think. I mean, I had like, you know, ideas in my head, but I'm like blank right now. It was like kind of a blah week. It was busy,

but it was like not bad. And usually you know you and I will if it's bad, Like I don't hear from you till like the day before we to chatted a little bit, you know, so that's a bit are going on. So that's why I know it was a little bit harten easy week for me. I don't know, is that like the litanus test for me that I have. Yeah, if I don't hear from you, you're either really busy or really pissed. Yeah, I stay away until the coast

is clear because the hurricane chat is coming through. And I showed you yesterday a glimpse of one of my conference calls that I was on that was ripening, riveting. Great, great story to go along with it. I can't say on the air, only because I don't want to incriminate myself, but very very funny stuff. We'll just say vintage Chadster. Did they catch you masturbating during a break? No? But I will say that part of our Patreon week, I have a great viral video that we'll be brought to

the table. Talk about it later on after we're done and get ready to wrap. But yeah, you know, it's just one of those things. I know you're in preparation mode. You've got your Disney trip on the horizon. Tell you I am. I'm sitting here and I'm saying to myself, is it too early to pack? Should A pack right now?

Should I go upstairs? Never? If I pack, what will happen is I will end up taking everything out of the bag and repacking again because I always think I forgot certain things and then I go, oh did I put them in first? Are they under everything? So then I just emptied the bag and do it all over again. So I should just wait, and That's what I'm trying to do. But we got all the toilet trees together, all our you know, little trial size uh sample sizes, those are packed and in a bag and ready to

be put away. But I still have to go through all the clothing and the bathing suits and the shoes, and my makeup and my hair products. And is that like one of those old exaggerated like cartoon packings with the makeup where it's like sixteen like bags of like you know, Famili's got one apiece, your husband's got one bag, and then it's like here, come, you're six They're all attached, and it's all the makeup and the hair stuff. The

airline that we're flying. You know, you have to pay for your bags, right, And the bags were more than the airline tickets the bag, yes, they were. And we usually take like two huge bags and we're paying for four. So I told my husband, well, as we'll take an extra we're taking three, not four, because four is just ridiculous, but we're taking an extra huge because we're paying for it. And why should I have to squish everything into two bags?

I said, well, now I have room for my stuff and it won't be like squished, so there's plenty of room. And uh, we each get a carry on and we each get a backpack for the which we had to pay for. My purse had to pay for. You know, why not? Why not? So But yeah, I am in full like Disney mode. I am trying to think what we need, what we don't need, where we're going to eat with, you know, trying to make reservations still, which is hard because some reservations I cannot get right, and

capacity is still really low. We've been watching live streams every single day to check out who's in the parks, and they're not crowded. Please hold off till April for that. They're not hubs. Read something about they made an announcement that MASK will be until the end of this year, probably at least, but they're exploring like opening up more, letting more people in as the months go on. So I mean, I think you yours is coming up, so

I think you'll be okay. But I think people who book later in the year are going to see more and more people entering the parks. But I will tell you, and I know people are gonna be like, shut up, bitch, you're going be happy. I get it, but there's certain things that aren't working, and I'm upset about it. The people Mover is not working. Really it's good. I'm super

upset now. They said the day before we leave is when it's supposed to open, and the day before we leave is our last magic Kingdom day, so we might get a chance to write it. But every day they show the people Mover and it's just stagnant. It's just sitting there doing nothing. I'm a little upset about that. But get onto the track and like you know, by like a bolt off or so, how does the whole

thing like that get shut down? For so they had people literally pushing cars in one video, they were pushing them down the track and I'm like, okay, what is going on? Is it a track issue? That what I thought it was a refurbishment inside the dark areas. I don't know what's happening, but it's not running, so hopefully it's going to run soon. My hopes for Ratituy they

are just slimmed to none. Now. I do not think that ride is going to open while we're there, which I was praying it would It was saying February and now they're just saying twenty twenty one. So I don't think we'll get to go on Ratituy. We're sending our alarm for Rise of the Resistance to try and get a boarding pass. We have two chances. We have two chances per day, and we're going to that park twice Hollywood Studios. So yes, hoping we can get on that one.

Here's thing, So have you been on the three Cabnaro ride in Apcot? Has it always been there for a while? I think trip Okay. So it's a boat ride and it's mostly videos on walls, and at the end they have animatronics. The endtronics, well, the animatronics have been breaking down. They've been falling, so when people turn the corner, they're on their faces the length they're awful. Now they have cardboard cutouts. Oh that sucks. Yeah, I'm not happy about

that either. Duck going like this, He's just standing there. He's with a microphone and he's just like standing there and I'm like, really, Disney, before the animatronics team they had a video, they had a video screen, and I'm like, well, why don't they just put the video back up, so their card cut out over an animal kingdom the Nave River journey, which is the Pandora section. The shaman is broken, so they have a video up of the shaman, and I'm just like, can I can I win? Here is

anything going to be working? So it's kind of disappointing. I'm hoping that they're trying to fix these things and maybe by the time we get there it'll work. I don't know, but God knows what else is broken. That's that's what I found out when I've been watching these videos. So I'm writing mental picture mental notes in my mind, writing everything down that's broken. They missed a great opportunity

for the people mover to actually move by people. Then it's like the ride, you know, like they get asked a question it or how about the characters you know they have like like Pluto characters. Now they're still having cavalcades. So the characters are still coming down mini parades, little parades, but not meet and greets, right, no meat and great

Yet they're wearing a costume. I mean, like, come on, they do have it where like let's say Alice in Wonderland is standing like twenty feet away and she's blocked off by like something rope or something, and you can stand in front of her and take a selfie. They have those stations. That's what they have. I mean, the kids with the autograph books. That's what my daughter's like, Yeah, you know, I can't wait to get my new autograph book. I'm like, eh, now, not happening. I'm gonna start doing

the practice. You ever watch those videos on YouTube where they show you how you can try to sell you know, they like have to practice the signature of their character. You can practice the same like calligraphy style of so you'r a foger Well for this trip maybe, you know. I mean, that's that's so cool. Though, if you get an autograph of you know, Mickey Mouse, it's the same Mickey yeah six looking signature. That's pretty good. They're aggressive, No,

you can't do and certain restaurants are closed. That's another thing. I tried to get a reservation at yak and Yetty and Animal Kingdom can't get one, And I'm just like, oh, you're killing me, Disney, what are you doing? So yeah, there's a lot of things. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks they'll be working on it, but what can you do. Well, I'll tell you they announced a couple of days ago that New York is saying by the end of February they're going to have ten percent capacity

allowing into sporting events. So for baseball, when baseball comes around in April, you know, City Field and Yankee Stadium, we're gonna have ten percent capacity. So you know, a good hefty five thousand or so people in a giant stadium. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's better than nothing, but it's still I mean, it still just sucks. It still sucks. So I don't know. My biggest concern right now is the airplane with the mask. I'm just praying that it's empty and you know, we

are good to go, and the stewardess leaves us alone. Yeah. Yeah, this would be a good run through for you because then that one convention that you have booked is out in Indiana, So this will be a good run through for you in the airports and to see what it's like. And yeah, you know, and there could be a difference between now and then. We're hoping that doesn't cancel, but we're I don't have high hopes for it. I don't know they're saying there's a new strain coming in. I

don't know, always a new strain. There's always something. But you know that new strain is going to make everybody crazy and then they're going to start canceling things again, and it's just one thing after another. I don't know. I said it before. I have planned to work from home all year. So when Chad texted me, oh, we're gonna and I was like, oh are we? Oh well, all right, talk to me like a couple of weeks before and let's see what the situation is because I

don't really know. I don't know. We'll see what happens. Getting closer. They were at ww officials where the Super Bowl to check out what the layout of the attendance was for WrestleMania, which is supposedly, you know, at the same location as the Super Bowl. So I don't know. So wrestle Khan I heard was virtual this year. They're not doing it, That's the word I got. So, I mean, WrestleMania are, but fans aren't coming in from other countries,

are they. Well, I don't know what the international travel changes are. I know the president, you know, he clicked some buttons and then things become normal. I think he had implemented an addition to the travel band that had already been in place. So that was one of the things I liked about going to Disney was that there weren't to be an international folks. No offense, no offense international people. The best thing for our trip. No cheerleaders,

no dancers. There you go exactly with the freaking flags and they sing and there's one hundred girls in each group. It's like, go away. So this year there won't be any of them, so I'm thrilled about that. Yeah, that's great. And the you know, the poor uh what do you call, you know, like pee wee hockey team or football team that has their team trip to Disney World. No, not

this year. Yeah, well I don't mind so much a little hockey team, but when you get the event with the dancers and the cheerleaders, oh, I'll tell you there's some bitchy girls in those in those groups, and I can't stand them. So I am looking forward to uh no, uh no foreign cheerleaders this year.

new girl subscribes, it doubles the female database. Well, you know, I can't help my demographic, but I think the ladies like me as well. I'm friendly. It's perfectly fine. I was talking to somebody the other night who was discussing his path to becoming a wrestling fan and used you as an example of why ECW was so different because he never thought he would watch that on wrestling before, he said, and I turned on ECW. And then he says that, what does that mean? Well, what ECW had

to offer? Okay, well, I'm going to take that as a compliment, you know, a far cry from the Bastion boogers and the Joint the clouds of the world, even though Joint the clown was an easyw a hot second there all right now, and he got makeup all over my mirror. Well, let's just be glad it was. It was only the makeup. Well, not you in the mirror for something else, but in some of the substances on the mirror. Oh, the old Doinster was known to have a couple of party or two wow. Okay, well, anyway,

before he passed away. Apparently Matt Bourne, who was the original Doint clown who was in EACW, is born again Matt Bourne, which is a great, brilliant, brilliant interpretation of any character in wrestling history. Was working and living like very close to like where I lived in New Jersey, and I knew a guy who was a root sales driver for Pepsi right, and he going he would do these deliveries and he would see this man. He'd be like, why do I know him? From somewhere? Like I can't

put my finger on why I know him? And he was going, you go, and he said one day he just met Ford, just walked up next to him right as he's doing his thing and did like an evil doink laugh and walked away. And he was like, oh my god, it was doink the whole time. That's weird. Imagine what so bizarre? Gotta love that though. All right, so it's like me walking up to someone and airstroking a cane. Yeah, are just dropping and giving a nutshot. All right, we have our guest is joining us. I'll

let you do this, okay. So this woman, she has a remarkable story. Of course, I met her through wrestling. I will let her talk. And she's super talented too. She does a bunch of stuff. Cheryl Bess, there she is, Cheryl, good morning here, Charny there she is. Yes, how are we feeling today? Chaw it's okay. Uh, I'm I'm a little Uh, I'm a little I'm a little tired. Okay. I thank you for coming on so early. She's on the West coast. Hell, okay, yeah, it's early for you. Yeah.

Let's start with your story, because I want everybody to know your situation, and then we can talk about how you and I met, if you don't mind. I find your story to be it's heartbreaking, but it's inspirational at the same time. And the first time that I got to talk to Cheryl was because she purchased something from me and I was giving phone calls away for people

who purchased. I got to talk to Cheryl on the phone and we talked for over an hour, and when she told me her story, I burst into tears, and I'm probably gonna cry again. But I want you to tell everybody what happened to you and where you are today. All right. And I'm a lot older than that now.

But when I was fifteen, I was kidnapped on my way to school and that did that towards sulforic acid on me from so I was burned from my neck up and I was left in the desert and I wandered around the desert and the San Bernardina Mahabi desert for about eight hours, and I stumbled out onto this access road at that very moment, and he rescued me, got me to the paramedics, and I was still conscious and lucid enough to describe the guy that did this

and caught him three hours later. Okay, so you broke up a little bit during the story. So basically what happened was Cheryl was on her way to school. She was abducted on the way to school. Battery acid, sulfhioric acid was thrown on your face, your body. Yeah, she wandered around in the desert for eight hours. She found the road. A good smarton found her, rescued her, took her into the hospital. They treated her, and they found the guy three hours later. And as a result, you're

you're blind. You're completely blind, right, no no vision whatsoever. Yes, okay, that makes me so upset. But getting to know you the way I did, you have overcome so many obstacles, which I mean, it's a remarkable story. Like this is a story that you would hear, you're like in a movie or something. So the first time she told me this. I was drawn. I was just drawn to you because you have such a positive, alical life for everything that

you've been through. You know, some people would just hate the world and be bitter, and you're not, you know, and you're like, you're such a good person. And she's a huge wrestling fan. And that's that's how I met you. You purchased something and we started talking over the phone. I had the chance to have dinner with you and we spent like five or six hours together over cocktails and food and our love of wrestling and bonding. Yes. Yeah,

And you're such a remarkable person. Another thing about Cheryl is you're super talented. You sing u knit, which she sent me this beautiful hat and these gloves and a hat for my daughter. And I'm gonna let you plug all this stuff at the end because people need to know just because you have ammitting right now, as we see, are you really Just because you have a disability, it does not mean that you can't do things in life, and you are an example of that. You're singing. Where

when did you start singing? Coming out of the womb? I guess okay, but for seriously, for I'd say, oh about twenty thirty years ago, I started really wanting to sing where other people could hear. Yeah, and she has a YouTube channel and she has her stuff on YouTube, and we're gonna plug that so you can hear her. But now now. And so also the knitting, which I was trying to help you get that off the ground.

You're so good. You need to open a NATSI store and you need to post your stuff because your stuff is just I mean, for someone with no sight to be able to do all these things, it's incredible to me. I can't do them and I can see and I have all my senses, and I'm so untalented, you know what I mean. And then she sends me this stuff and I'm just like, it's brilliant. How did you do this? You know what I mean? Like I'm just in all of you. You're a remarkable person and I don't know

how you do it. I really don't. But when you lose a sense, when you lose a sense, you you kind of have to figure out how go around a way around to be able to continue doing the things that you enjoy doing, like reading. I am a total bookhead. I to read, uh, And I thought I was gonna lose at a duddy. After I became blind, so I found out about books on tape. I learned how. But now I listen to books on my computer through my

speech program. Uh, and I read about two to three hundred books a year now because I was determined not to give up. I love reading. I'm lucky. If I read one, I gotta stack that. I'm like, I'll get to them eventually. It's just it's so amazing. And so Neil, you're you're an a a wrestling fan. I see you too. I can't do that, Oh, not read. You have to read right. Let's talk about your love of wrestling though,

because you're out there, Yes, I got you. You're watching every wrestling program out there, and you're you're live tweeting while these you know, programs are running. Hell, explain to me without vision you're I know you said before you told me you're listening to the product. I have trouble watching a three hour program and I can see what's going on, and I'm still just like, Eh, you're so involved in it and you love it so much. Like

I'm trying to like put myself in your shoes. What are you envisioning as you're listening to these programs, like, how how are you seeing it without seeing it? You know what I mean? Well, the commentators are a huge part of it, uh, which frustrates me a little bits. The contators do not do their jobs so that I can be able to know what's going on in the

race amy and out of the ring. And that's why I have wrestling friends, because I have my wrestling friends that watch the show, pashing it and then and if I don't know what's going on, honestly happened that I missed, they they will describe to me what's going on. So I made a lose self that I get from commentators and friends. It's amazing. I just can't. I can't fathom, Like I can't. I do my Twitch channel and I have a w on one screen and I'm paying attention,

you know, to the chat. I can't. I'm missing so much stuff and it's going in one ear and out the other. And you're just on point with your tweets. You're correct and everything you say and I'm just like, how is this girl doing this? It's again, it's it's an amazing Like you said, I guess you lose one thing and you pick up something else, but you're just

all there, You're you're all in with this. And I just find it so interesting that you can be so precise in what you say and you're made a multitasker as well. Yes, you really are. It's just incredible. And you know she came to where were we, Cheryl? Were we in New York for Restlan? Was it the New York One or New Orleans? Yes, New York. So she came to New York and right, well, first of all, she's a big flirt with the men. Let me just tell you, she loves to be with the guys. She flirts,

The worst part is that the connection failed at the beginning for the story, but I mean perfectly stayed in tune for her singing, which was lovely and quite the story. Tell me that story isn't heartbreaking, it's nuts, And I mean it sounds very familiar, and I feel like I might have heard it on like a you know, some sort of true crime something, because

that's that's that's terrible. Yeah, it's she She is such a positive person that that you know, like some people just are healthy. You know, maybe they got a shitty job or maybe something's going bad in their life, but they blame the world and they blame God and they blame that. This girl doesn't blame anyone. She just goes on with her life and and make every day the best day that she can make it. And it's it's just like so uplifting and I just she's she's so positive.

I just love her, she's just a good person. So just just to recap because it went out. So she was abducted school, on her way to school, abducted, taken out into the desert, yes, and anything, battery, acid, But was she assaulted or was it just I think he attempted to and she was struck, fighting and struggling, and she ended up she was able to get away, but not before he he dumped the battery with this stuff all over her and she wandered for eight hours like that.

Could you imagine the pain and agony and suffering that that poor girl endured and to salvation and made it to a highway. A good Samarian and found her and she was able to tell what happened, and he brought her to gets to a hospital or a facility or something, and they caught the guy. Wow, and yeah, that guy should go to straight the hell because and that was what nineteen eighty four. I'm not sure what Niver thought. I feel like I thought she said. I looked it

up while she she was fifteen. Fifteen, Okay, so I know she's she's a bit older than I am. I'm not sure how much, but uh yeah, victim of nineteen eighty four acid attack. Oh you found her if you type her name into YouTube, which you'll be doing to check out her musical. Oh okay, okay. The first thing that pops up says, the story of Cheryl. Excuse me, the story of Cheryl Best victim of nineteen eighty four

acid attack. Amazing. It just it was something I did not expect to hear in the phone call, and so I lost it. I literally lost it, and I just sat there and sobbed, and she was just like, no, no, I'm okay, I'm okay. And you know, the more I get to know her, she's she's such she's just a good person, you know, and beautiful voice and a beautiful heart. She's a beautiful soul. So I thought she'd be interesting to have on and that's why I had her come. Love the the play on words, love the the djying,

very very cool, very unique. Yeah, she does a lot of stuff with her free time, and she's she's a remarkable person. And and you know she takes care of her mom as well, and they take care of each other, I should say. So she's we love you, Cheryl, and uh, you know, hopefully I'll see her somewhere soon. But hell of a story. Yeah, absolutely, So, I don't know. Do we let that breathe for a second before we say, hey, let's get into it. Blah blah blah telling you that

was ruined? Thanks a lot, Cheryl. Yeah, geez, come on, well, I mean, you know, we can take it towards the the Patreon run if you like this. Oh, I'm gonna make you laugh, that's for damn sure. So and I purposely I just said to you the other day I had something funny. I thought, if you haven't seen it by this point, I will be shocked. But we're going to look at I'm going to say, this is the greatest viral video of all time. Have you seen the video of the lawyer with the with the filter on

his phone during a meeting? Yes, no, you gotta stop. We're gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about it. Look, we don't just watch a video and then say Okay, that's the show. We'll chit chat and will you know, dive deeper into it and we'll talk about why I think it's the greatest thing of all time. We'll get into that. Then here's one we haven't discussed anything in a long time. You know what I mean. We play games,

we have fun. We haven't discussed anything, but there's an interesting story wrestling related that I I like to get your take. So Lars Sullivan, have you heard that name before? Yeah? Okay, So he's finally been released by WWE. He had his ups and downs. You know, he had controversies, he said some things that were in his past. Blah blah blah blah blah. We'll talk about this. But one of the things that he did was he no showed a bunch of times. He now showed WWE. W no showed shows

he was supposed to do. He was supposed to have a program with John Cena and he no showed. Okay, So here's what we're going to talk about. Butterflies versus stage fright. What do you think about it? Are they two different things? That's what we're going to talk about. So I talked to somebody who said they are when it comes to to wrestling. So I'm gonna pick your brain a little bit about butterfly. Somebody the same somebody as it always is. No, it's not, it's a different somebody.

It's usually the same person and it's not the same person it's a different person. It's nuts. It is not okay, but butterflies versus Stage fright, but they this person did use an example that I will like to present to you. Okay, so we're gonna do that and then for the watch along. Uh, Raven, that's butterflies us stage right. Where is it? Raven? Oh? I scrolled it. I put it in the wrong spot, Raven.

If you could see it scrolling across the bottom. Raven and Stevie versus the pit Bulls with Francine Okay, from October seventeenth, ninety five. I don't remember it, but I'm sure I will once it comes up. I put it in the scroll. It's all the way down there. If people have really good vision. Yes, ooopsky my bad.
