Episode description

FLASHBACK #2 takes us to a marquee bit of the Eyes Up Here Patreon. This is Francine reading her Instagram DMs, version 3. We've done a few of these episodes that were rather salacious, but this specific entry gives you a pretty skewed perspective of what Francine and more than likely other ladies and gents in the wrestling business endure when receiving messages on social media.

Speaker 1

All right, well, let's get into it here today on Creative Control another what do you think Francine flashback or eyes up here Flashback? I think eyes up here flashback because it's not just about me. True. I'll give you a little bit of credit as well. You're hanging out too well, Thank you very much. Although today's topic for this eyes up Here Flashback does have to do with you, It has to do with this could be one of the most brilliant concepts ever brought to the podcast airwaves.

And this is why we do this kind of content on Patreon. You just decided one day to pick through the Instagram dms that you don't respond to people on Instagram, but you get a ton of dms and you decided to go through them for the first time. It was unbelievable content because I never knew my dams were open on Instagram because I'm not an Instagram kind of girl. I'm a Twitter girl. You know everything. I think. I've tweeted over forty five thousand times in the last four years. Like,

I love Twitter, It's simple, it's easy. I know how to use it. Instagram. I don't like taking selfies. You know you have to post a picture with all your posts. You can't I don't know how to tag people. You can't post links. I hate Instagram, so I don't really use it that much. But one day I noticed I had like hundreds of messages that were highlighted in the top right hand corner, and I'm like, what are these things?

And when I clicked it, it was all fans that I don't follow them or anything, they follow me, and they were dropping or sliding into my dms as the kids say, and I was just dumbfounded. I was like, well, how long has this been going on for? And then when I clicked them, Oh my god, it's I felt like,

you know, I was like twenty years old again. And people who are like, they're trying to date me, they're trying to sleep with me, they're trying to I don't know what they're trying to do, but there's a whole lot of stuff going on in my dms and it's just it's out of this world. What they write to me. I can't even Some are funny, Some are funny, some are nice. Some are disgusting, vulgar, very vulgar. I don't know how guys have the balls to write these things

to women. I really don't, but I share them with with all of you, and I only do it on Patreon. But now you get a little taste of what the females in this business, not just in this I'm sure, just females in general have to go through in their dms. So, oh yeah, females in general. I think it's I don't think it's just it's not just yeah, no, I think anybody who's got a platform ends up getting some sort of solicitation. But he said it's a mix. I didn't know.

I didn't know this happened, and it still goes on to this day. And it's not like I read them every day. I might read my dms once every two to three months, just to see what's going on. You know, now that I discovered that I have them, that they're open, I don't even know how to shut them off, but I won't because it's a fun feature that we do on here. So they're opened, and you know, if you hear this and want to send me something funny, you can.

They just range so much between interview requests and fan questions, but then vulgar, sexually charged fantasies and oh but that's why we brought this one out because this is great. It's a doozy, it's good stuff. Now, do we have to censor on creative control? We do not. We do not at all. We do not. I mean sometimes we'll do self censoring, but most of the time on Patreon

we go full bore. Okay, a lot of f bombs being dun yeah yeah ye, And and enjoy And if you're a man, stop, yeah, that's the that's the thing. Just stop. Maybe that's what we'll call this one. Just stop, please just stop sliding into the DMS, so be nice. Yes, well we will do that. We will revisit it. We we've said before we will revisit the DMS. Maybe that will be in the coming months here on the eyes of your programming, so stay tuned for that. Uh. We

will get right into this episode. So if you want to follow me, it's at chad e and be on Twitter and at ib Exclusives on Instagram and just keep plugging away Patreon, dot com, slash franccene podcast and if you want to follow me across the board, I am at ECWD for Franccene and uh, enjoy the episode. As we open the vault, so to speak, something we haven't done in quite a while, probably like six months plus. Uh, opening the Instagram dms. It scares me just thinking about it.

We've heard and you've read some pretty dirty stuff. So it's your turn to now read what you've got hidden in those Instagram d ms. Okay, I have not opened this probably since the last time I read you stuff. There's even messages from my husband in here. Why you need milk? Right? No, why do you send me stuff? You know, I don't go on ig like Instagram is not my thing. So let's see I'm tapping. Okay, here's a bunch of I'm not going to read names because

I you know, I don't want to embarrass anyone. Only read it if it's really funny, how about that. If it's a really ridiculous name, like if it's like that is, I can't do that all right. If you know boner Man one, don't mention boner Man one. No, boner Man one will not be mentioned. Okay, So this one, this one just says, HI, you still got it? Your a babe with a heart eye, smiley face. Okay, this guy sent me a picture of my debut because I didn't remember it. Apparently this guy wants me to be on

a podcast. This guy just writes, hey, I have a question and doesn't follow up with the question. He was waiting for you to be like, oh my god, what is your question? This guy right? So, what's up with the eyes looking at you? I'm trying to party with you one day? Yeah, that's cool, and there is there any chance of partaying? No, I don't think so. Now this one has I'm not tapping it because I'm scared. Image sent in message request are covered taped to see

blurred image. You gotta see it. Come on, all right, I tapped it. What happens? Oh no, it's half his face. I wish I could show you this stuff. I can't. Okay, this is this says he sent me a story, But I don't see a story like an Instagram story. I guess, so I don't know. I'm trying to find a good one. Uh. Thank you for every damn thing you did for the industry. I'm so happy I came across you. Thank you so so so, so so so much. Sorry, I don't go I'm sorry. I'm sorry for thanking you too. I mean,

come on, okay, let's see a serious fight. Nation mentioned me, thank you. Oh yeah, I don't know. Let me guess they're asking, uh, will Francine go in the w W Hall of Fame? I don't know. But here's this is strange. This is weird. So apparently he's talking about Chris Benois two band, about Chris's diving headbut obsessions. You would have been a great rebound gal, just in case things didn't

work out. What woman in the end, So you would have been a good replacement for Nancy had he decided not to kill I think Chris and I have spoken maybe once or twice, never had a conversation which I didn't know him at all, and I had a relationship with him. Then he writes, I am now I are thal has acquired a new vowel. It should become the

wings of rebellion that breakth thy change of captivity. With the birth of the flames of jealousy, persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shally to freedom and new power. That could be the Bible verse that was in the Bible that he had at his feet when he hung himself. Oh, your God, why am I getting this? Why are you getting lumped into this. I don't have a clue. Okay, that's somebody who really has a lot of time on their Wow, that's just scared me. Okay,

this guy just says I'm a legend. People are asking me how much for the poster that was on eBay? Well you could bit on it. Here's another one. Hey do you do private videos? I have a question? Cameo. Uh still very beautiful. You probably won't hit me back, but I just wanted to say that. Okay, this guy just screams my name with an exclamation point. This guy wants me on a podcast. This guy wants me on a podcast. Wait, wait, go back to the podcast guys,

let me hear some of the podcast names. I can't. I don't want to say. Oh come on, let's let's say this. The odds of anybody knowing who these podcasts are. Ah, that's the boom that that sucked. But they're not saying, hey, can you come on a podcast and talk about you know something vulgar? They're just asking, I want to talk about your career. That's that's not bad, no, but I'm not putting podcasts over Oh that's okay, A good point Okay,

now I get what you mean. You can tell me off the air, can I see your And then they write Francine, can you see your What? I don't know? This one is a website that I'm supposed to click, which I will not. Hey, what a fuck? And your response? What would your response be to that? Get back to you later. No, Hey, Francine, we haven't heard from you for a long time here in Germany. Okay, I hope you are all right. Are you still connected to wrestling

in any way? Greetings from Germany? Well thank you Germany. Dude, do you look at the profile and the stuff that you post? I mean, you sharing your cameos. You you're always promoting whatever you're doing, this guy, I mean, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. The only time I post on IG is when I have something really to promote. Yeah, so I guess they're not looking at my post and go right to the inbox. This guy mentioned me in in his story one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

ten times. Oh wow, this man, Yes, he really likes me, and that's great. Okay, so let's go to the next one. Hi, I'm a big fan from Switzerland. Oh, Ooh, I was wondering do you ever get Allie to Switzerland? And if so, would you like to hang out? Well, I hear the chocolate is uh is good? Swiss are beautiful this time of year. You've ever been to Switzerland's never been? Do you want to go to Switzerland? I mean not really, but it looks lovely, But I have no plans on

going to Switzerland. Look, I'm I'm terrified to go to Indiana. Do you think I want to go to freaking Switzerland? Yeah? Is that one of those things like, uh, you know, don't we are we not allowed to travel to Switzerland? Like can't you not even do that right now? I guess not. Is Corona in Switzerland? Uh? Corona has to be I would think, yeah, around the world at this point. Okay, well no, I'm not I'm not gonna go to Switzerland.

But thank you. That's very sweet. Let's see this one. Hey, Francine, followed your career even though you're even though your character was a bit slutty, I'm sure you're a very nice person in real life. Would love to meet you someday. Okay, that's the way you approach somebody. You're a bit slutty, but you still seem cool and I'd like to meet you someday. I think a bit is better than a tad, wouldn't you say a bit? I think it's kind of it's kind of the same. Okay, here's one. Hey, what's up?

I want to buy some of your undies. You now, it's the way to a woman's heart right there. I should rip back how much you got. I think I'm gonna text that to Liz, ask her how much? How much is it gonna take? You know what it is. It's like they want to buy your underwear, but they don't want you to wash it. They're like, put it on, take a picture, slide it off, stick it in the envelope, and let's go. That's what they want, the dirty, nasty underwear.

Especially after a day of waiting online a Disney World while you're sweating, hopping from line to line. You gotta think for all the people who have said yes, mm hmm, and anybody's up for asking. Look, I I'm not gonna lie. I have sold thongs, but I've always washed them and I've never lied and said no, I'm not gonna you know, I'm gonna send you dirty underwear. I'm always like, no, they're gonna be washed, and they always go but I'll pay you more, and I say, ah, they're gonna be washed.

And if they declined, they decline. I hope you like to smell it downy, because that's what I smell like. Twenty four to seven is beautiful, detergent or a fact you like a little snuggle. Huh, you're a little snuggle fan, a little bear. Let's see, here's another one. Hey, Francine, I'd love to sit down with you and talk about your career in ECW and wrestling if you would ever give me the opportunity to buy you a meal. I feel that we would both get pleasure from it. Oh,

from the meal, we're from each other. I don't know. Maybe the conversation would be so riveting. I think the meal would. I'm a foodie, so I think the meal would be pleasurable for me. I don't know about the guy, but the meal sounds excellent. You'd sit down for the meal and it'd be just picked, like, where's like your number one place that you would want to go that you haven't eaten it? Ever? Yeah? Where would you if you said, right now, I've never been to this place

where I've always wanted to go have a meal. Oh wow, I don't even are you like a steakhouse like Italian? Like, where would you go? I'd like to go somewhere maybe like a seafood joint, okay, with like lobster, Oh yeah, crab, all that kind of expensive seafood. All right, So this guy, this guy gets you to this seafood restaurant. You have the crab that they're literally they're killing it right behind you. They get this is crab. It's the freshest it's going

to be. And you sit down and you're all excited to eat. And the first question out of this guy's mouth is what was it like in ECW? Yeah? Everybody opens? Really was it really that crazy in ECW? Yes? Did they do drugs? Was there a lot of drugs? I've heard that there might have been some partying? Did you guys does? And you're just sitting there waiting for that lobster and like, I'm sitting there with my bib and my little cracky things, and the guys like so, I

can't remember. Were you with Shane Douglas at the time? Was that you even went through that table? That one time. I had a guy recently on Twitter ask me on a date? No, I know it happens. Did you say yes? I said, can I bring my husband? That's a great response. I always say that. And he took the fence. Oh, did invite your husband on our date? What? I just find it very amusing. I don't know. There's a couple more I can open. If you're interested, please rivet These

are the best. These are just I mean, and Okay, hey, I'm a little scared. Hold on, I can't really say hey, I'm a little scared to ask this question. Are you I said, oh boy, but are you single? And if so, do you think I have a shot? People say I look like Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you. He doesn't look really really, he doesn't look like Brad Garrett. Brad Garrett's you know, it's a heck of a you know,

TV star, the heck of a looker himself. Well, I guess these people don't realize that I can see their pictures. I mean, I feel bad. Maybe it was ironic. Maybe he looks like Brad Pitt in an ironic way. I don't know. He doesn't look like Brad Pitt. He's a big fat liar. This guy. His profile picture is his chest without a pace and he looks like a bodybuilder,

very very attractive. But you have to think, if they're just putting the chest without their head, what's going on from europe Crater, the size of Texas on the top, or it's just not their body, it's it's a cat. You might be onto something with that one. I just don't try. I try to tell my kids, like, here's the thing, Like a lot of these game apps, I'm totally switching gears, but this is this is something that

needs to be said. I believe agree continue these maps want these kids to chat, and sometimes the chat is necessary, like games like I don't know, like among Us, because you're supposed to chat, and you're supposed to say if the guys sus, you give reasons why you want to vote them out and this and that. And I always tell my kids, like, you have to be careful because number one, you don't know who's on the other end of these chats. I don't know some of them are monitored,

some of them are not. Could be a forty eight year old man sitting there talking to nine ten year old kids, big pervert, right. I always tell them, don't give your name, don't give your address, don't say where you live, you know, and don't chat. If it's not one hundred percent necessary. I disable all the chats, like there's no reason for it. And I try and explain, like the catfishing scenario, and it goes back to MTV.

I'm like, they're this show on MTV where these guys literally or girls, they pretend they're someone else, and the kids' minds are just like PSHW and they're like, why would people do that? And I said, that's a way to real people in to make you think they're somebody they're not right that we want you to go meet them. And then it's a whole big The internet is a scary place these kids. I mean, I'm sorry. My kids

do not have social media and they won't. They don't have phones, and they don't need their phones because we homeschool. There's no reason to have phones, there's no reason to have a Facebook or at ig at age nine and eleven, it's just for me. I just feel like it just brings at it stress to the parents, and these kids could get caught up in something that they shouldn't be partaking it. So I am just very careful for the games that they play, who they talk to, what they do,

you know. I'm always like, if somebody says something in there, or if you like some of these games, you can even like a little bubble pops up and you can talk in the bubble. And I'm always like, if somebody curses that app's off, like you're getting rid of the app. I don't know what kids are on here, like, you can't tell. Same with these DM people could be dming you saying there's somebody and they're not. Yeah, So why

do these guys, especially I'm not I'm pleased. I'm not saying I'm this big celebrity, but I am in the public eye. So why do these guys think that they can just write me and I'm just gonna be like, yeah, I'll go meet you. Yeah, oh yeah a stranger. Number two, if you were even a fan of mine, you would know that I've been married for one hundred years and i have children and I'm old, stop just stop please. Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right, though, especially with those like

among us, and I don't really like that roadblocks. Yeah, that's the other one that my daughter plays roadblox and uh, they escaping me right now. They you get scammed by these people who are claiming they're going to report you. And these kids start to freak out that I didn't do anything. Somebody's gonna report me, and they start to

have a dialogue, and that's where it gets fishy. That you don't want them talking, and you could shut off the chat, you can do this and that, but they'll still figure out how to get around that at some point. They're not stupid themselves either. They'll create another account, they'll do something. But it's real scary, and you think that local. You know, you don't want your kids outside. You don't

want them home alone. There's a lot scarier stuff that's going on in here than there could be outside your front door. Yeah, it's terrifying, And I tell them, like please, Like, my daughter's obsessed with roadblocks because they have a whole Disney Yeah thing on there, and I let her play it. But she never goes in the chat, so she doesn't talk to anyone. And she's right next to me usually

except for right now because I'm down here. But I hear the music and I see her running through and she's just going on the rides, you know, because it's cute. They have the whole, they have Epcot, they have Magic, they have everything on there, and she we love Disney. So she's just like I said, as long as you don't talk to people, you can do it. So she

listens and she doesn't talk to you. But I mean, you don't know who's on the other end of that same thing for adults, Like I know a lot of people out there are lonely and they want to hook up and they want this and they want that. You never know who you're speaking to, so just be careful, use your common sense. I would never answer anybody on I mean, we're just having fun with these things. But for the most part, you come at me with, let's fuck,

like get out of my face, like so disrespectful. You didn't even say please, gee, you didn't say please, didn't offer to buy me dinner, didn't say my work was good, like nothing like that, like get out of here. You know, I could laugh at it because I'm not answering these people, and I'm an old, married lady. But some girls they'll jump at the cheat. Oh this picture's hot. That picture may not even be the dude like you, oh, how

do you know? And again, it's cable that say yes are the ones that leave that door open for somebody to have the confidence because a lot of times, I'm sure in regular scenarios they wouldn't say two words to you if you were standing in front of them. But behind the typing and the phones are the keyboards. They have that little bit of courage. And for everyone that has said yes, they think, oh, well, maybe I'll just ask this one too. See if she says no, it's like, well,

I'll move to the next one. I just couldn't imagine having that. What if you were like you, you flipped if I use my real name, I sent you that. You then put out a tweet in your Instagram post say hey, this guy just wrote me this. Make sure you blah blah blah, this is his face. Then you're plastered all over the internet. Why do you want that?

You don't know what could happen to could backfire? Yeah, And another thing is I wouldn't a lot of I notice a lot of people in wrestling, when they get negative responses, they'll put the person over and they'll retweet it and I'll be like this is this whole set. I'm like, first of all, I'm not giving them the satisfaction of me being upset and letting them know I'm upset, Like I just block, just block and move on. Why even retweet and put the guy over? Like, I don't know,

I don't get it. That's crazy how some of them do that. And that's just empowering them because now then they think their voice means something because they got to this person. Yeah, and it's like, oh, come on, my fans, go after room and get I'm just like, what's the point. You're gonna have many responses calling the guy an asshole, but guess what he got over because he pissed you off? Yea complete I just I don't fall for the traps. I just ignore, block, move on. But we we just

got on a whole other topic here. That was great, You're right things, And I'm just it's like these people are just either the delusional or they got balls that are this big. And I know you got to take some chances in life, but if they were really fans of mine, they would know I'm happily married and settled down as a mom. So I gotta do is do a Google Search. You see all of that, even if you didn't know it. It says it. I was looking

at looking for stuff. I went on your the online World of Wrestling, right, and it's got all you know, debut this and that. It says got married, God had child. It says it in your information that's on a wrestling website, that's by biographical you know, people just got to look at it. I just think it's the delusional. It's both exactly what you said is both combination of being delusional and having a big set of balls at the same time. Hey, God bless you for trying. But no, I've got those balls.

I don't know those balls for anything. I get nervous sometimes if I, you know, if I'm trying to book somebody for you know, if they come on our show, I guess somebody for the baseball show, even if I'm my my one WWF show. Like you, sometimes, no matter how confident you can be, every time you write something, did I spell every word correctly? Does this make sense? Did I write that I miss a punctuation? And you hit that button with such reservation and nerves sometimes and

these people are that's fuck scent. Here's my schlong thing, anything else, any other ones. I'm you know what, I'm kind of grossed out. Now I'm just done. I wish that we could literally pick one of these podcast requests that you get right here. Here's the thing. Pick the request, see who it is, vetted right, see exactly who it is, and do the show. But I'll be there next to you, so we can literally flip the script and interview them

and be like, so what is it? We can ask you that you're not going to ask me that I haven't been asked a million times already. What did you think of what I thought out of ecweah, tell me what I'm thinking head? What do you think I was thinking when I was going through the table hmmm, huh, when I got the when I got something broken over my head, I got a kindow stick over it. What do you think I was thinking? Upon impact? I don't get mad at the podcast request things. You know, they're

just trying to do their job. I get it. I get irritated at these brazen guys who just no I know, I you know, I like it doesn't stink, and they could just walk up to me and say, hey, let's fuck. And I'm gonna be like, Okay, here's the leg spread open, let's go the podcast stuff. It's it's sensitive for me because I I I've somewhat and I guess it's tied

into all to get my ghost stuff. I feel like I'm on a mission now to help eradicate some of the podcasts that shouldn't be out there, kind of wasting time because let's just say, and this is a different conversation as it is, you do one show right and it sucks. You just do it and it sucks. It

then sours you from wanting to do another show. So when a credible, decent show approaches you and where you maybe are able to promote stuff and get to an audience, you have now been tainted because you went and did some shitty one that has now ruined your your feelings. Here's the thing with me, though, unless it is a friend of the show or a friend of you, and I I charge right, that's too even if it sucks.

If they're gonna pay me my rate, I don't care no thing that On YouTube, you know they have three views, five views, I go on, it goes up to forty two views. I consider that a success because right, money but they paid me, you know, So that's that's what I do. And and I kind of like rule out people who don't have the money. I'm sorry, but it's it's a different time now and a lot of people

are charging yeah, interview a lot of them now. Yeah, but that also goes back to that I whereas I implore everybody who is requested to be on a podcast like that, get what you feel is necessary for your time. I've had guys tell me, you know, they consider it just like a booking. It's just like their job, you know, taking time out of their schedule. And then there's guys that don't care and they just do it for whatever

and they'll do any show. But what that does is it lowers the profile of Okay, anybody can get so and so on their show because a couple of buckskis and that's it versus maybe a real a decent show that has the ability to promote your stuff and have you make money from your other endeavors. It just kind of taints. But that's a different story for a different day. That's just my my goal is to eradicate some of

the stuff that shouldn't be out there. Yeah, well that's why I don't do many because they either don't have the money or you know, they're not friends of ours and legit. Like I mean, even with you though, I mean when we had you come on a Triple Threat, a few times, we talked about you and Shane, you know, we talked about some of the other stuff going on that you had, and we never sat down like, all right, let's go back to the beginning. Let's talk about blah

blah blah. We've never done that. You know, We've never had like we've gone over stuff on these shows back and forth, but I've never sat down for an interview with you and say, okay, well let's go back to the beginning. Let's go back to Philadelphia nineteen ninety three. We never did that. And I but you know why, I've also seen your shoot interviews where you do the same thing and the stories haven't changed since the first one you did. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of guys, how'd

you start? What made you get in the wrest? I mean, that's the first question that always comes up that just to me, and it just it's a tap out and it's you know, coming from a branding of podcasting that that's where the bread and Butter was hate that ship. Yeah, well, you know, like I said, if they're gonna pay me, i'll talk about whatever. But that did Hey, get your

get your tea. And if I don't like what they're saying, I don't answer the question because I'm the one in charge, not the guy, and I'll just say, oh now, I'm not gonna talk about that, okay, you know, and they're pretty good about it. People have been good about it. But honestly, I don't do many. No, you don't. And that's great too, though, because that if you do do one, and even if it is like a paid gig for you, it's great because maybe there's a chance there's gonna be

some awesome content that comes out. All right, Well, then we got off on a tangent twice. Yeah, thanks to everybody who dms me on ig. You guys. Keep the d ms coming.
