All right, so go one here on Creative Gold. The eyes of her flashback flash very very

far in the way back machine. Now. I don't know if you're aware of this, but we have been doing this show for a good three years. It's our anniversary, isn't it? Didn't we? I think it is like this time. I don't have the anniversary partner, thank you. I don't keep track of it. I don't know why I don't. I don't keep track of it because this show has such like a cool vibe to it. I don't It doesn't ever need like an anniversary show just to get people to do. We have a cool vibe every week

and this goes back. Well, we have a great relationship as a team, so it's great chemistry we are going back to. We recorded this on October thirteenth, two thoy and nineteen. Okay, okay, it was episode five. Okay. It featured the first time we had Shelley joining us Shell, but it was it was a different appearance because it was her first. But this is episode five, so we're still a little green as a team. Okay. It's just great because it's the first time you guys are connecting

on the camera and it's it was very cool. Yeah, I miss Shelley too. I haven't seen her in such a long I mean we still talk obviously, but I just haven't seen her in such a long time. And I was thinking, oh, maybe if I do Wrestle Con next year out there, I'll get to see her. Hopefully I will. But she's you know, she's still very active on even though she's not making appearances, she's still very

active online and her content is excellent. So I believe her website is Shelley Martinez dot net or dot com something like that. You could just go to her Twitter and uh, all the informations up there. But she's been a friend of mine for years. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the only good things that came out of the fake is her and Ice friendship because I knew her before then, but we weren't close until she became my room meee on

the road. So I love her. She's very funny, and I think that the kind of you know, the funny thing is I became good friends with Kevin Ferdig, who was with her in that fake ECW. So it's like I got to know about her through Kevin and then I got to know of her for you, So for her then to you know, have minimal contact with me. I just think it's funny because I had this intersection of her people she was connected to, and it's just that's the crazy thing about the wrestling communities. You don't

know which way. Yeah, you don't know which way it's gonna happen, but it's all gonna come back to to one point. So yeah, very cool. Okay, Well, where can people find you listen to this beautiful interview? Yes, at Chad E and B on Twitter, at IB Exclusives on Instagram. Uh, please follow Franccene's YouTube page. It's YouTube dot com, slash e c W Diva Francine. On YouTube, you subscribe, you like, you share, you do all that good stuff and you see all the great content we have coming your way

on YouTube. Thank you for the plug, by the way, and across the born on social media, you can find me at e c W Diva Francine. But for now, enjoy the show. This. This is a girl that I adore. I love her. She has become one of my best friends, very very talented and and has a beautiful Heart as well. You might remember her as Ariel in the Fake e Seed of Uh. But let's let's welcome with Shelley Martinez to the podcast. Hello, Hello baby, you're no picture. Oh

my god, you just pop me huge with Budge. You know what? Then mission accomplished because I started when it asked me to put my name in there. I started to put I put Shelley, and I said no, no, no, no, no delete. You don't have to tell the story now because nobody's gonna understand why your name is badge. Okay, well doesn't know. I'm just everybody knows. At the bottom of our screen. If you don't see it on the audio, it's audio. Everybody's get their name on the bottom. So

I got Chad, Francinas Francine, and Shelley has badges. So Shelley love it. I really wish I committed though too. I was gonna put Morning Badge. But I love it. When Francine and I were working together back in the day in the sagy c W we used to just we love love Jillian Hall. But Jillian is this is

not talking crap. She'll admit it like she's a little presty a little stuck upy about certain things, you know, like and when I say that, I say that because I'm a very rough around the edge, just kind of goal. I'm very rate. So me and Francine would be like, hi, badge face, and we'd say how my badge, and we'd say all this a badge badge, and she'd get so angry. She would just be like, why do you have to say that word? And she'd get so upset, and you know,

we would just badge face. And then I remember, I hope it's okay to say this, franccene. But one time I was seeing this fella and I didn't know if I was gonna see him that night. And Francine said, you know what, Shelley, you always wash your badge. You never know, And I said, exactly, So the badge has many definitions to me, if you will. And when I had that awesome, awesome uh oh, it says hold on, hold now you keep going, Yeah, she froze up, so hold let me let me reboot this. Let me just

make sure she's all good. Hold on one second. So I was saying that Francine and I love Jillian Hall, but she is a little prissy about certain things. And you know, Francine and I are just those galos that we're going to say what we want. So we would really get under her skin because we would say hi, badge face or oh, badge this, and she's like, oh, I do you have to say that word? And she gets so literally upset with us, and we just loved

it so so much. And then back when Francine and I were in the road together, I was in my mind dating a guy, but in his mind I wasn't, so I didn't know if doesn't see him that day, and Francine goes, remember Shell, always wash your badge because you never know. So THEA has many different definitions and the bad advice and it really is and the best part of all of those two stories, and how the

badge is so dear to me. When I had that awesome match with Rebel on TNA and I was, uh, you know, she was like splitting my legs, and so of course you got to sell the badge, and so I thought, oh my gosh, I feel that Gillian and Francine will see this match, and in that moment, I had a choice, and so I started yelling my badge. So when people are like, it's become iconic, Like people will just tweet me my bage, my badge. I'm like,

my bade. I watched that match and I can't even tell you how huge I popped when I heard her scream my badge, because the whole arena is just like you could tell. They're like, did I just hear badge? Like why is she screaming my bag? Didn't I do exactly why she did it? So people, I feel, yes, I feel blessed that I was included in that moment that she thought about me during work, So I I

love it. I love it. There's the thing, Chad, A lot of people don't realize about me because I'm a girl with like big boobs and I like to fix myself up. Oops. They think that like, uh, I get my kicks or getting attention, but like being all hot and sexy. No, I just like do that. I get

my kicks and making people laugh, specifically my friends. So that's why I took that opportunity on being on a pay per view and without hesitation and commitment, yell my badge, my badge, oh my god, my vadge, and I don't I don't know if they picked it up. But I also said, I think I've made myself. They might have. They might have, but I was so taken aback by Badge being screened out into the arena that I was

just I was like, I love this girl. This is the best thing I've ever heard in a long time. And it's just hilarious and it's it's Shelley, It's pure Shelley. Well, that kind of like goes back to like why I kind of wanted to do wrestling to begin with, because I would hear these fun stories of like people being like all buddy buddy, and like they trained together or

maybe they were on the road together. And then I as I was going up in wrestling, I would watch those people because they were, you know, older than me. I would watch them play these little jokes on each other, and I was like, that's what I want to be, Like, I get it, Like it makes it so much more fun when like, because what people don't realize is the show is such a tiny part of like wrestling. It's like so much like preparation and getting there and all this.

So for me, I found it very attractive that these dudes were giving legitimate hard times or practical practical jokes on their buddies. I don't like it when it's like you don't know the person and you're just doing it to like be funny. But when you know the person and you know it's all in good nature. I fell in love with that idea. So when I carried on into wrestling, I was like, that's who I'm going to be,

damn it. And my badge and I are very proud of that moment and that yeah, yes, absolutely, And it was never like a malicious thing. It was never hurtful. It was always in good fun I've said this a million times, Like the fakey Se Dub, the only good thing that came out of it was our friendship because we knew each other before a little bit from w W, which was another classic of BED that we worked for, and I loved it there. That place was great, and Shelley and I knew each other, but we didn't hang

out too much. And then we go over to faky c Dub and we're on the same brand, and we now we call each other roomy because we started rooming together. I was miserable there and I didn't and you know, I wasn't comfortable. I didn't like it there, and like you and me together made it tolerable for me because it wasn't fun. It just it just wasn't fun for me, Like I guess when I was saying earlier, like I knew that, like you said that before, I was the

best thing. But to see your face right now, like I feel like you're in that moment, I'm realizing how unhappy you really were, like I knew you were, but like I was making it, trying to make it fun for us. So I guess to me at like I remember those times more than like you weren't happy, and now I'm bringing back to that, And it's so cool because to hear from you that when you're going through that time, that I was able to make it fun

for you. Like towards the end of my wrestling career, that's all I cared about, Like I didn't care anymore. I just saw girls feeling broken down and beaten, especially because they hadn't gotten to WWE kind of what we're talking about, Chad, and they were just miserable. So I would my mission would just to be have a fun match and make that locker room fun if that means I'd come in with Sam Champagne that I snuck in so be it, like you know, different little things like that.

But all of a sudden, girls started telling me, oh my god, like I haven't had that much fun and how long? And like that meant so much to me. Like when people were like, oh, you know, she's just bitter because she no, That's what means the world to me, about more than anything. So to hear that what I did that for you and I didn't have in my head that that's what my role is to like bring

yea to these girls. It's cool that I brought into you, Franny, because we had the good times we did and I was just so restricted there, and you know, you know, they didn't let me do anything that I was capable of doing. So it was time after time these stupid bikini things. And then you know, when you and I had our little program, I was like, so cool, I'm

gonna get to do what I can do. And then Balls goes and gets a drug test and they find drugs and then they're like, well do you have your bikini? And I'm just like, holy shit, there's nothing else you can think of, Like this is all creative can think of. You know, I was like, they didn't even care, they didn't even try, and it was so ridiculous. So my only other, you know, the thing that I could do while being on the road was to try and have a good time when we were away from the arena,

and that's what we tried to do. So yeah, that was really because it was a miserable time for me, you know, and I always said, I'm grateful for the opportunity. I got to make some money, but I got a really good friendship out of the deal, so it was worth it when you think about it, you know, oh, absolutely absolutely. When you know, when I was in a bad mood about everything and I was very hurt, something that started to pull me out of that mindset was

you know my dog, Ethel, my little girl. Yeah. I got her in Kentucky when I was under contract because I had my boyfriend and he's from California. I took him with me to Kentucky and I felt like he needs a wife because I'm at training all day, you know,

like he needs a wife. So I got Ethel, And it's like, dude, I literally would have never had Ethel, my baby, my little girl, had I not gotten signed and so when I started to like that was the first turnaround, and then I was like okay, and then my second turnaround was us and how we made it fun, and I was like, Okay, that was good, and like I started to like slowly weed out the crap. Yeah what I got from it. And then that's when I was just like oh, and that's when I went back

to the Indies. And I had so much fun at first because I was like, I thought, freed from the negativity, I've refocused on what was important. I brought that energy to the Indies. And then when people started screwing me over in the Indies, it just like triggered it all. And that's I was like, as this people, I'm done, I'm out of here, Like what are you Like? I thought that was just like WWE what No, yeah, nerds. For people who might not know your history, let's go

back before OBW, Like how did you get started in wrestling? Okay, So I know this sounds really generic maybe, but I just knew I was supposed to be in wrestling. I just knew it when I was little. I watch it. I specifically watched it like when Cindy Lauper was involved and then I would fall out a lot because I just saw a lot of different things going on. I was a pageant girl, boys, you know, different things to

take me away in it. But I always came back to watching wrestling and when I would watch the performers. Someone that stands out to me so much at that era was gold Dust. My sister and I after church, we would watch wrestling and we watch gold Dust and I would just be like wow, like like that's so theatrical and cool. Yeah, And I just knew, like in my soul, like that was my destiny. And I didn't

really like talk about it. M I just feel like when people would ask, I'm like, yeah, I'm maybe a wrestler. I was very like whatever about it because I just knew that was my path. I didn't know how to do it though, because I'm from California, so there's not especially back in the day. There wasn't many promotions or schools or whatever. Everything was like Midwest or East Coast, so I had no clue. And this is before the internet is what it is today, So I didn't think

to be like wrestling schools. I didn't know wrestling schools existed. I just you know, it was like, what how do I do this? So what I would do is I would when I would go to gigs because I started doing modeling and acting after high school, I would just talk about how I was going to be this wrestler, and I thought to myself, someone's going to remember that and maybe it'll like get me in the right direction.

So eventually a casting director put me in this independent film called Backyard Dogs, and I played a wrestler's girlfriend and they use local wrestlers and so during like the lunch breaks and stuff, little breaks, I would sit there and I'm like, so, how do I do this? Like, no, I'm going to be a wrestler, So what do I do? And They're like, well, you got to go to wrestling school. You train, then you get matches, and then you put a tape together and then you send it out. I

was like, all right, done. So I started going to wrestling school, I started to trade, I had matches, I put this apes out, and then I just went from there. I had some really interesting moments in that journey though, because like the first wrestling school I left. The reason why I left is because the owner groped me when he was supposed to be helping me with the injury. You know. The wrestling school after that I went to was a lucha school shot out WPW. That was one

of the best times I had in wrestling. It was that's when I had that romance again of the wrestling business because it would just be me and Fred and a bunch of boys in a van and we would like drive and we would go to Texas and Mexico and like that's what I was like, this is what it's about like And so I did that for like two years, and then I started to get looked at. And then I used to be friends with that guy

Jesse James that built motorcycles and stuff. And when he was hanging out with him and he was like, why aren't you in WWS, I was like, I don't know. I mean, I'm doing what I'm supposed to. And so then the next day I got a call and it was from, Oh, I forget Kevin. So, no, is that Kevin right? I don't know, done Kevin done? It wasn't Kevin done. It was somebody else, somebody And then that's a wrestler guy. There's another, well, there's another Kevin Sullivan.

But I don't know if he's like a publication guy. There's another Kevin Sullivan, so okay, it could have been the other one, the other guy who from that guy I grewed from some dude. And then the next thing I know, Johnny Ace is on the phone with me. And it was interesting because I had a falling out with a wrestling company at the time, and they kind of made it seem like if I wasn't with them,

I would never get a shot in WWE. And the reason why they I had a falling out with them is because when I had the first falling out with the first school, I tried to go to this other school and they were like, yes, we want you, we see potential, but you can't wrestle for anyone else. And I said, but I've been taught. Shout out Ricky Rays and Rocky Romero, my first trainers. They taught me. Well, I was taught that the way you learn is you

go to different territories and wrestle people. You get uncomfortable, you get scared, That's how you learn. And so I was like, how am I going to learn if I'm wrestling the same people over and over again. I'm just gonna get comfortable with them and then like that's it, and so they didn't like that I had that to say.

So that was that. And then it's funny because when Johnny As called me, he goes, I have one question for you before we move on, and se yeah, he goes, are you affiliated with and he said the guy's name and I said no. He goes, good, we can have this conversation. I was scared because I thought he's gonna be like, oh, okay, never mind if you're not one of his girls and we can't talk. So I was like, oh, that's interesting. So then I got looked at for a while,

got hired, and oh ps. In between that, that's when Franny and I met a girl. W w e W. I had fun there too. That was the bat Girls. The only thing is is I had a falling out with one of those guys that was in charge too. And when I got when I was starting to get looked at, I remember he called me and he like

threatened me. He's like, you know, I can I can ruin your chances and so long Yeah, it was so long ago, and I was so young, and it kind of like scared me because I thought like here, I am doing all the right things, you know, So to be honest with you, it kind of traumatized me. So there's a good chunk of it that damn guy, Okay, I know what you're talking about. Wow. Yeah, Like he really And I don't know if it was one of those things, like, because all I can remember is I

had a lot of fun. And then the last show, Oh I did for them, I thought I was gonna get paid a certain amount for like, but it was like the whole show was the amount I thought that was per match because we did Yeah, because we did like two shows in one night for two different tapings. Yeah. Because here, here's the thing about w e W. It

was a it was a wrestling company, but they did porn. Uh. They brought in porn stars and they would put porn in the middle of the wrestling pay per views because that's the only way the pay per view company was interested in using our product. So you had the wrestlers on one side and then you had the porn girls on the other side. So no, but what's great about it It was like wrestling and a literal match is

happening and it has not ended yet. And then porn. Yeah, and then a little bit of porn ridiculous, Like if you're a guy and you're jacking off to the porn and you're not ready yet goes back to wrestling. It's like, oh, I wasn't done. It was the most idiotic concept ever. But it was the only way we can get our pay per views, so that that's what it was. But I didn't know that happened to you. Uh we would record, Yeah, we would record like two separate pay per views in

one night. And I guess some of the girls it didn't register, like you have to tell them I want X amount of money because I'm working twice. They just assumed I'm working twice, I'll get my double pay. No, absolutely, yeah, no, And that I learned. I learned that and what had happened. And this is the only thing I could think of.

And if Dan hears this and he wants to hit me up and like refresh my memory, I remember I was like upset about it, and then I was being vocal about it, not like to be ugly or nasty, but I was just like I thought, wait, am I crazy? It was more like wait a second, wait, what's going on? And it wasn't like I was like trashing them. It was like I was talking to the girl, wait, is

this right, like blah blah blah blah blah. And then of course the girls were like yeah, the ones i'd been there and then kind of cued me in, and the newer girls like me that had no didn't know any better. They were getting upset because they didn't realize it either. So that's the only thing I could think of of where he got like mad, or like where he was like, oh, I could ruin your chances because he thought I was like bashing them or something. And

then maybe I did, and I just don't remember. I don't know, but that's what put the bad taste of mouth. But I still love Steven DeAngelis. I still ca him. I love Stephen DeAngelis. Oh my gods, you did. I just did a show with him a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, he's still uh, he's still hanging in there. So I I love him. So I got him out of that. And what was cool too is a lot of girls who ended up becoming names and wrestling. They we were all like there together, Yes, Jeeves ode by gorgeous George,

even though she had done her thinger she was there too. Yeah, everybody Angelina love Yeah, and ro'neil everybody everyone knows and loves. I was in a really weird place where I accidentally got married once and I was with this dude and I just shouldn't have been with him. Yeah, who made you get those papers signed? I know, I finally did me, me like Shelley get those papers signed. So I was

in a really dark place. And then that's when Tommy Dreamer called me and was like, Shelley Martinez, you're gonna go to Niver signing you. And I was like, oh my gosh, okay, and they gave me the choice to go to they were they hadn't start Florida yet, but they said, he said, you know, we're gonna have this new thing. It's going to be bigger than anything. No, I'm sorry, Deep South. Deep South was in Georgia, right,

I think it was in Georgia at first. Yeah, So he said it's gonna be bigger than ov W and Kentucky blah blah blah. So at first I was actually like kind of soul like, oh, this is like the new like saying, but then what made me call him back and be like, no, I'm going to go to Kentucky. Was Molina was there at the time. She was on

the road. She had just started with eminem backstory to my connection with Malina, her and I started together at the wrestling school that my first one, and so when she first got signed, she got signed like maybe a year year and a half before I did, And it was really cool because it wasn't one of those things where we were like trying to be in competition with each other. It was like, Okay, whoever gets there first, like figure it out so then we can cheer each

other on. So that's kind of what we did. And do you want to say something, Yeah, you're jumping ahead of a VW though, right, No, no, no, this is this is pre to OVW. So okay, she got first. Then I was like, okay, I need to get signed. So then I got signed, and then that's okay, do

you want to go to Deep South? And at first I said yes, and then and I thought no, Molina, even though she's not at OVW anymore, she's in Kentucky, and I thought, I'm looking out of states, so I had to be around somebody I knew, especially because this is the first time I was away from my sister

like that. So that's when I decided to go to OVW, and I'm really glad that I did because the connections that I made there, even though I don't really talk to anyone from that era anymore, they really served an awesome purpose in my life and like keeping me kind of from not going crazy from especially when after gone from WWE was like, oh yeah, yeah, So I started at OVW and what's so funny is I got there on fourth of July and then like I went I think it was a day or two after I had

gotten to Kentucky. I went to OVW and they had their like taping for their OVWTV, and that was the night Jim Cornette went off on sorry I Know, Santino Dantino, Santino Santino, And so I walked into this whole thing thinking, like, what the hell is going on? I thought it was a joke because I was backstage. Of course, my first time being at OBW, I'm all excited, and then I just see Jim Cornette, that's your first day there? Yes, Wow, damn, He's like, I think, didn't me slap over something? Yeah?

He slapped the ship out of him for breaking uh, basically breaking a smile while the Boogeyman was going through the crowd, and like completely no selling the Boogeyman. I just remember him being in Boris sorry, I Stantino, I know him is Boris Santino Marella's face. He's just like in his face blah blah blah. And then like and I'm just like, is this there's no camera? That's real work exactly because I was like, wait a second, what

that's great? It seems so like something that I would see back in California, not at like WWF like, and so I was like what. And then the next day they were like everyone came with a serious face and I'm still like hey, and then like they're all time, what's the future, And then Danny Davis had to talk to us all and I'm like, what the hell is going on? And you know, now that I'm remembering all this, that explains my whole wrestling career. What the hell is

going on? Yeah, pretty much sums it up in a sentence. But it's always, but what the hell's going on? You never know? You never know? Oh boy, it though it's okay, but so yeah, that's why w And what's interesting is I had only been there for like maybe a week, and they told me that I was going to be a vampire and I was going to be with Kevin seven at the time, Gang Grel and Jimmy wanyg Yang and we were going to be the new breed or not new breed, new bud breed. I became the new breath,

and so I was all excited. And I remember they were like, come tomorrow, have like a kind of vampire attire whatever. So I come the next day and I remember, I'll never forget Mickey James was in the girl's locker room and I was like, oh, where's Kevin at She's like, oh, you didn't hear. And I was like what. She's like,

he got fired? And wait what She's like that there's this whole thing that after WrestleMania they do a whole sweep and they get rid of a lot of people, and she, I was like, who else, She's like, get growed. Jimmy Yank Oh like oh perfect, my whole c the hell's going on? And so of course they explained that, you know, the sweeps had happened, and then they were like okay, scrap that idea. And then fast forward a year later. I don't know about the date, but it

was in July, and that's when i'll happened. In July. I ended up becoming a damn vampire anyways on the new VCW. So it's like it work out, like I just always knew that I was supposed to be there, and I know you're with Kevin. What was that and you were with Kevin? I was with Kevin, like that's the thing, and it just was so meant and the fact that I am a vampire, it's not a gimmick. It's like it was like I don't even have to act. I just got to, like, you know, say what's on

my mind? I guess or like whatever, and I did and it was a lot of fun. So that's like, in the nutshell how it all happened. Okay, Yeah, interesting, And like I said earlier, we got to do our little deal for why three four weeks tops before Balls took drugs and got caught and ruined my life in the WWA. Thanks Balls, But yeah, we we had the best time working together for that little stint we could have. It's so much more. I remember I remember her and I were going over our little match that we had

and they gave us. Gosh, it was barely like a minute and a half, two minutes top and Jim Ross comes walking by and he's like, good luck, ladies, and I was like thanks. And then we came back through the current and it was either him or Jerry Lawler, and I was like, that's all. That's all they gave you.

I was like, yep, you know, and we we I remember you and I were talking the Undertaker and we're like, we want to do this spot where we get on the top group and we're like fighting and then we fall to the outside through a table and Undertaker's like, yep, go go pitch it. I think it sounds great. And we pitched it. They're like absolutely no, and we're like, oh okay, we're going to do it. We were like, that's the girls we were. We were there because we

just wanted to have fun and entertain those people. And those people would have gone nuts. Oh my god, could you imagine they would have went nuts. Yeah, it's so cool,

but it just wasn't meant to be. We were chained, man, We were chained, and when let's see anything and that's the thing Franny, like when people kind of get like, oh, you know, they have the wrong impression of like when I'm being vocal about things, it's like I'm not saying it to be like, it's more like, man, it's just a shame because I have so much more to offer. And it's really frustrating that people. And here's the thing I'm fine with, Like I was held down and I

was being censored, I guess. But what irritates me now is people making it seem like just because I have an opinion is something, or I share a story about something, they automatically, oh, she's just mad because she's washed up. They because she didn't get to do it. And it's like, no, dude, like you don't even know the kind of girl I was down for this stuff. And then it let me so like like God, for sure, if you didn't work there,

you have no idea. I remember and Gorilla waiting to walk out for it had to be one of our things for TV. And I heard them say, uh, nobody call her the Queen of extreme. She can't use that as I'm and I'm saying, and then I asked, and I was like, well, why I've used it for thirteen fourteen years now. Oh, Charmel's the queen. You can't be a queen here, you can't use the queen of extreme

And I was okay. And then I didn't even get announced when I got in the ring because just I don't know if somebody told Justin Roberts just don't announce her, or if he forgot. But you were cutting a promo only about how I was going to be fat and pregnant, remember that the Kirch and Teller. I didn't even get an intro, and I'm just like standing there, like, what the hell is this? What is this place? Like? This sucks?

You know, So I understand completely. I was willing to give one hundred and ten percent like I always did. You're the same way. You have a good work ethic like I do. They just wouldn't let us do it. So yeah, totally get it. But that's the past. We got something got out of it. Like we said, we are so due for a phone call behind so because we need to catch up. We've been texting a lot. But I want you to tell everybody social media how

how they can see you on Patreon as well. Your secret society, your YouTube, give us all that info, all right, I'll give it to you now. So it's pretty simple pretty much. On all my social media, it's Shelley from Calli s h L L Y know y from Cali, California. I have my Patreon that is h for patreon dot com for slash Shelley Martinez. Or you can go to Shelley Secret Society dot com. That's kind of like my blog page where I show a little previews for it

if you want to see what you get. It's I know it looks a little scary sometimes of people who aren't into my modeling photos, but you know, I do a lot of stuff on there, a lot of different vlogs. I have been on a hiatus of my podcast with my sister. We're gonna be starting that soon. I do a ton of live streams. So it's really just a exclusive fan club for if you're a fan of me, whether it's wrestling or my modeling stuff. Boom there it

is for your badge. Yeah, am I badger there? You know, just to be in a bikini and show you a good time, you know, awesome, Oh my goodness, good time. That's right. She's she's Fun Time Shelley, Yeah, totally. And my YouTube channel YouTube dot com Forward Slash Ellie Martinez channel. Yeah, it's all there, you know, if you want to check things out. I just started a new platform called Coco Scope and it's an alternative to YouTube to where they

don't censor you. And I've just started yesterday, so I'm going to be starting to post some stuff on there, and I'm really excited about that because my whole thing is is I always get in trouble for music, Like I hate it, Like it'll just be in the background and it's like, oh my gosh, you just like So I just been really irritated with YouTube. So I hope that Coco Space or Coco Scope takes over girls like myself or content creators in general that just don't want

to be censored. Like I'm tired of being censored. Damn it always. Oh wow. So like if you wanted to, like dance to a song or something, you can play the song and it's no copyright or well this is what I just talked to them, and this is the other thing. They are so nice and they write you back right away, and I like that customer service because YouTube you can't ever get a real person to talk to.

But she said the gall I've been talking to that if it's in the background, as long as no one puts a strike against them for the copyright, it's fine. And they haven't had that yet. And then she's like, as long as it's not the focal point, like editing a video and like they're using that is like the music, gotcha okay, And she said if there is a copyright strike, they just ask that you either re edit it without it or take the video down. So it's not like

you get punished or anything like that either. Not that I do topless or anything like that anymore, but it even lets people do topless like it's like very uncensored. I like, I even asked them. I was like, can I smoke my bomb? They're like, yeah, go ahead, I want to see Shelley wakem bake. You go over to the Coco scope and you can watch scope. You're always on like the forefront of these like new technology things. I love that. That's that's very cool. It's very good.

Since I was like, way before wrestling, I had websites when I was just doing the modeling thing, I was really inspired by some models that were here, Dida Vonte's Cat Vonde, Stacy Burke. Yeah, girls who were on top of websites and having membership sites before it was like a thing. And I always like, when I was young, like eighteen, I was like, I want to do that. I want to make my own money, I want to put out my own stuff. I want that, And so

I've always played around with that. And because of that, I've always like known about like what's happening or what's coming up. And what's so funny to me is like, once I do it, like a couple of years will go by, and then I see a bunch of wrestler girls starting to do it. And then that's when I was like, I told these girls, you're a trendsetter. Day you're a trendsetter. I'm just out there trying to help you.

That's true. She's been telling me to do Patreon forever and I'm just like, no, it's too much work, I'm so lazy. And now we're doing one. But it's a different it's a it's a it's a podcast Patreon, which is totally different than a wrestling Patreon. But you know, but anyway, and it's because I knew, Franny, that you would be perfect for Patreon, like just doing your thing and like being you because people want to hear what

you have to say. They want to know you more, They want to see what makes Francine tick, see what this hot mess is all about. That's mainly why they pay me money, you know, because you never know what you're going to get. But I do appreciate you coming on. I'm sorry for all the glitches today, that this has never happened before, and of course i'd have you on and it would happen. But we'll have you on again, and we need to talk. So maybe one day next week we can get on the phone and chit chat

a little bit and catch up. But I do love you, oh baby, oh, or listen to this that are a follower of me. Thank you for all Fred and prayers for little Fred. He's nineteen years old. My little Fred Bill last Friday. He's been very delicate. It's hard for him to even walk. It's been very hard at the Martinez household here, but here he is and he just wanted to pop in and see you. Thanks well, because of you, little Fred, my ratings just went through the roots.

Thank you very much. Oh, Ethel's getting jealous. Here's Ethel, there's Ethel. Look at these outfits? Could you die so cute? Well, listen for hiring me so that I can get this little girl in Kentucky. There you go. You could take care of yourself too, because you had a scare last week. So give me a call when you are free and we'll catch up and thank you for your friendship. All righty, you guys have a one YouTube. I'll talk to you. Good to talk to you.
