one and only Queen of Extreme Francine. It's getting a little bit better every week, but maybe like better than last week. A hair Did you add a photo like on the wall, Yes, there are more photos on the wall. Actually over here you can see my music area, so uh yeah, a little, little by little, But I think I need to get a new microphone. That's the problem because see the kind of mic that you talk into has you know that that padding built around it, so

a lit'll decrease the echo. What I have is more, it's more of a direct speaking device. I don't know how to say it. I just have a pea popper. I had one of those, yeah, and I got rid of it, and so in a in a closed in room, I sounded great in this one. I sound like I said, New Jersey won a one point five. Yes, right, well you'll you'll figure it out. I'm sure. How are you?

I'm this This is going to sound so ridiculous, but I'm still exhausted, and I know it's ridiculous, but I cannot catch up on my sleep, on my work in the house, my family, Like I'm playing ketch up and I'm still behind. So is this from your bombastic party time in the old h Rhode Island? I did. I partied a little bit. I did because well, let me just start off with saying the drive was horrendous. Not a fan, but I was driving, so I didn't get sick,

which is a good thing because when I'm driving. I do not get We lived through that, oh god, but this one was a longer drive, Yeah it was. It was paying the ass for sure. But we picked up Betty on the way, which was nice because I got to spend the weekend with my best friend, obviously, but she had friends that were coming, okay, and of course they are drinkers to the utmost degree. And she says to me on Friday night, we worked till nine o'clock

and she says, look, my friends are coming. I want to go out, but we're only going to have one drink and we'll be back by eleven. Okay. Now, this is a girl that when we do our night's out, our girl nights out, we're up in the room by seven thirty, like you know, and she's in bed by eight. So I'm thinking, okay, eleven's a little steep for her, but we'll do it, no problem. Well eleven comes eleven thirty, twelve twelve, and I found one of the guys that we were he was as much into Disney as me.

Oh okay. We were just vibing and having this Disney conversation and going over. But the next time I look at the clock, it says one twenty fifteen. Wow, jeez, I said, we to go. I had to be up at seven because the con started at tend the next morning, and I had worked from three to nine that on Friday. Yeah, on Friday, we got there late Thursday night, worked all day, you know, well not all day. We went out to lunch, and then we worked Friday and up until nine, and

then we were out until almost one thirty in the morning. Jesus, look at you. I said, well, who am I? I don't do this crap, you know. But I only had one drink. It wasn't like I sat there drinking like a fish. I had one drink and Betty and I split some fish and chips, which were delicious. Murphy's is the name of the bar, so they if you're ever in. I don't even know where I was, so somewhere in Rhode Island and you see a bar called Murphy's. It was really good. It was near the Omni. I stayed

at the Omni Hotel. It was beautiful. Saturday was very long, very long. It was ten to seven, very long time. Wow, that's a long time. It was a long time to sign. They had a green room which was lovely because all the food was taken care of breakfast, lunch, dinner. You just took a break, went up to the green room ate your food. It was great. It was attached to a mall, so if you wanted to go shop or go to the mall for food, they had a food court.

It was nice. But Saturday was really really long. But it's a really funny story. I was we were all in catering, so it in my group. It was myself, Bubba, Velvet Sky, and Matt Hardy. Okay, it was the four of us. Then like JBL, Jerry Lawler, Honky tonk Man, they were in our section. Trying to think who else was there? I can't remember, but like I always found JBL next to me at my table. Talked about him a lot on the air. Yeah, we were always eating

lunch together or something. When I happened to look up and I see Joey Fittone, did not think right, Yeah, and he was my favorite. I love him. But I said to myself, well, I'm not going to mark and I'm not going to tell him like you're my favorite. Can we get a picture. So here's what I do. I see him, he's in we're in catering now, so's he's ready to get his food. I say, excuse me, Joe. When he turns around, he goes yeah, And I said, Hi, I'm Freezine. Nice to meet you. He shakes my hand.

He is pleasure me. I go, my mom is going to be ninety two, and she loves your show common Knowledge because he's a game show host. And I said, you know that, Joey Fatone boy, And I did. My mother. Joey Fatone told me, if you get a lemon, you rub it against the glass, the lemon will clean. You don't need wind decks. I said, you teach her something new every day. And he goes, oh, God, bless your mom. I go, yeah, I think. Can we took a picture so I could show my mom that I met you.

And we took the picture. But like I said, I'm not putting him over in sake. I'm putting him over for my mom. A's common. He couldn't have been any nicer. He was lovely. I was today years old when I found out he was a game show host. Yeah. Well, he was the voice on Family Feud for Steve Harvey

for years. He introduced Yeah, he introduced Steve Harvey. But now he has his own show and it's it's like everyday common questions, and my mom watches it every day religiously, but she'll always say, you know that boy, Joey Fatone told me you can do this with this or she learned stuff from it. So he got to kick out that, which I thought was adorable. So got to meet Joey Fatone. I got to meet Dave something. He was in Anchorman. He was in the office, the guy with the cowboy

high Oh, yes, yeah, yeah, I know you. Yes, nice man. He came from my table. Hi, I'm Dave. Nice to meet and you know what I say, I love you. In that show, I blanked. I couldn't remember. The office. I couldn't remember, and then I screamed the office. In the office, he says, you're sweet. Thank you. Al from Home Improvement, nicest nature, nicest man ever. Debbie, who was the toll time girl, Yeah yeah, I kept pumping into her. She's like, your dresses are so pretty. She was so sweet.

Everybody in Rhode Island was so nice. I don't know if New England has a happy pill up there, but everybody was. I remember wanting to bump into her in about nineteen ninety five. She looks great, she looked cute. She had on like jean shorts with the little tool belt. Her and Al were like next to each other at the smart smart, very very cute. Those were. Oh and I was in the I was in the elevator with Michael Myers from the New Halloween movie. Yes, the I

forget his name, the big tall, big dude. He reminded me of the Undertaker a little bit. He had a beanie hat on and his eyes reminded me of the Undertaker. But he was very as well. Yeah, but you know, very very long days long Sunday. We worked from like ten to like it was supposed to be at all five, but you know, at that's this point, it's calming down a little. So I think we left at like four thirty time, while we had like a six plus hour ride home. So I wanted to get the hell out

of there as soon as I could. But it was fun. You know, it's just long. Let me ask you this, So go back to Friday, Okay, go back to the first day. So comic cons tend to be a little different than you know, a wrestling convention sort of it. They've kind of taken on a similar kind of look over the last couple of years as wrestling conventions grow,

Comic cons has been around forever. What did you see about the biggest difference between going to a full blown comic con where everybody's there versus just a wrestling convention where it's just wrestling fans. I had brought up this question to the people around me. I said, you see how wrestling fans and I'm not trying to disrespect wrestling case.

You know, we love you guys, right, but they are special sometimes and they dress up as their you know, their their characters, and they have their belts and like that, they were screaming at Bubble get the tables, like they were really screaming at them, Get the tables. And he was like sitting there like, okay, you know what I mean. I said, do you think that like the movie actors or the voiceover actors or the TV do you do their fans do this stuff? Do they scream lines from

movies to them and dress like them? And because there was there was a whole level of star wars right well, when you would go to catering and you got off that elevator. All you start was Star Wars like Chewbacca, Like this dude was like eight feet So I walked around. That was right. No, there was like three R two D two's. There was a C three P O walking around. There were uh people I don't even know their name, Stormtroopers. There were like and they had backdrops and you could

take pictures. But it was like it seemed like it was a whole level, you know what I mean. I walked through because Betty had to get somebody's autograph for her nephew. So we walked through where like the TV movie actors were seated and they were just kind of no one was really interacting with each other. They were just kind of at their boots, when like the wrestlers are always like talking to each other and just a

little different. I noticed it was. It was a tad different because most of those guys have like an agent with them. We have handlers. But it's it's a little different dynamic. The Warriors, which is a very popular movie that I never heard of. Yeah, okay, they were all across from us, the whole cast. Okay, the man, the one man, Tommy, he's the nicest guy in the world. He kept coming over and talking to me and Betty, asking us all these questions, putting his good aura around

and doing this. He was doing this and putting good vibes and juju on us and all this good stuff. And he had asked us to dinner. And here was the pitch, Ladies, We're gonna go to this restaurant called Anthony's, and you know, seems like it's really nice. The owner invited us and I said, oh, and first it was seven thirty, then went to eight thirty and blah blah blah. And he says, and listen, we have a coupon for twenty percent off, and you know, we'll split the bill

and it'll be good. And I said, well, with an offer like that, how can I refuse split the bill with the warriors. Just that was the That was the pitch. Well, we didn't make it, unfortunately we started. But they were the nicest gentleman, really really nice, and they were bringing us wine. I don't drink wine. Batty was drinking all the wine. I did do a shot with velvet of her beloved patron that I thought. I was pissed. I thought, id die. Oh it it burned like hell that's her drink.

But I can't, I can't do I said, no, no, no, no. It was bad, but it was It was nice being with my friends and getting to hang out. And you know, I would do it again in a heartbeat. So it's a kind of Rhode Island Comic Con is so big. It's the kind of show you could do the next one and have a whole giant three day crowd again. It's there. It is such a big show. It's a big show. But they did have supposedly they had mask commandates and they were saying because of COVID, the attendance

was down. Oh wow, geez, and you were and you were still busy. I was busy. Yeah, I mean there were people there. You know. I was happy with what I did. But they like they were telling me, like, if you would have came in twenty nineteen, it would have blew your mind and almost thanks for the information. Yeah, Like it was mine first time, it was Bubba's first time. Me and him were looking at each other like we picked the wrong year in the debut here, you know

what I mean. It was still great. It was still great. We still did well. But they were saying attendance was down due to COVID. I heard Matt Hardy had a pretty big line. He did have a well he wasn't there on Friday, Okay, it's only there Saturday and Sunday and her team. He had to fly and he didn't come like I was there at ten. I think he showed up at like maybe one or two. Okay, So people were like waiting for him. Of course, you know, and you're doing the delete thing. The whole time he

was doing delete, he was doing the big money. Some kid had like he wanted to post with him, and I don't know if he was holding like sixty dollars in his hand and he wanted the big money. Matt. He says, Oh, here's the money, Maco's hold on a second. He goes and he takes ten hundred dollars bills. Oh jee, He goes, this is the big money, and I go, I have three dollars. If you need any anybody looking for singles, I got page. Perhaps that was funny, but

I met our boy Pat from Patroons. Oh wow, cool, awesome, beautiful, beautiful family. I met his lovely wife. His kids are adorable. They can't hung out for a little bit and said hello. And they don't like crowds, so I am pleased that they came to see me. So it was wonderful meeting him. It was just it was a good time. You know. I enjoy these things. But again, it was long and

I was very tired. And the drive. I mean when I walked in the house, I just was like, I ripped my eyelashes off in the kitchen because everybody was asleep. I couldn't even go wash my fings. I had to get a baby wipe and get the makeup off because I couldn't get in my bathroom because everybody was sleeping. And then your husband comes downstairs bleary eye, and he's like this, there's a bug on the floor. He starts stopping on the last he goes, oh, he texted me,

goes glad you're home. I'm like, all right, everybody, stay where you are. Don't no welcome, need it. You know, everybody's sleeping. Did you think you're gonna come into a big surprise come home? I know it wasn't like that, but it was good to come back. And I'm doing it again this weekend. Yeah, you are so now every day. So for the drive, right, So that was about So our drive was about four hours and this one was about six. That's a different kind of six because it's

got you're going up, like up the coast. What was like the breaking point where you were like, oh my god, we're never going to get there. This is taking for effort. Well, here's what happened. So I drove to my girlfriend's house, Batty. She lives in Connecticut. I drove to her house, took a p break. Okay, so you broke it up a little bit. But then I said to her, would you mind driving the rest of the way, and she said not not at all. So she actually drove the rest

of the way into Rhode Island. Okay, So I got to sit on the passenger side, and because I got up and my ass, cheeks were numb. I'm sure they were numb, and I was I was trying to shake it off, you know, I couldn't move. It was just it's a long jome and we got caught in a ton of traffic on the George Washington Bridge track. I was pissed off. It was stop go. Then we were sitting not moving, and it just I think it was longer than sixty hours to be honest with you. There

was so much traffic on a Thursday. I said, do these people work? How dare they Thursday? What is going on with these people? You know what I mean, like got a job? People get off the bridge. But you know, it is what it is. We got there and safely, which was the important part, that is the most important part. Yeah, it looked great. You know. I saw the pictures I saw. I saw you know, Rob Feinstein's pictures all weekend. I saw your pictures. Well, that's who I drove with. And

he is the biggest baby. He won't drive on highways, so of course I have to. Really and he's freaking out. He would do this study like if we were my grandmother. Oh they're breaking, Oh stop, oh god, and he's grabbing his leg, he's grabbing me. I'm like, calm your nerves. We're fine. We did thank god, we didn't get into any accidents. We got there safe, We got home to He is a worry word ass, but he was great and everybody was great and I had a great time.

So thank you, Rhode Island. And hopefully I can come back when things are normal again, because I would love to see this in full of this con like in full of full the full effect. Now there were some people there, don't get me wrong. It wasn't it any means, right, But now we get to get on the old jet plane. Now we yes, and and my flying companion is Sandman, and so that should be a good time. And I'm

excited about that. And we have well you'll hear this after the fact, but this Friday we have a virtual on Facebook. And then Saturday morning is the in store signing for Music City. And then Saturday night is that Tracy smother show, the Wild Eyed Southern Boy. Yeah, whatever it's called, that's what it is. But it's like three shots in two days. And uh. And then I have to be up at four on Sunday because I have

a six am flight. So that's always a good time. Well, you might be home by lunch, so that that might not be better at nine o'clock in the morning. Oh, be home by late breakfast, keep and sizzling, you'll be home. It's good. Oh that's wonderful. Well, you got a busy, busy few weeks here and then Wrestle Cad in a couple of weeks. It's man, look at you making waves. I'm making towns here. It's it's good. So, but what's

going on in your household? Nothing? But it has been a been a quiet week, you know, finally settling in, you know, really unpacked. Fully. I'm heading to Virginia Beach this weekend for a show. So I'm preparing for that. Uh baseball baseball Billy Wagner, former Phillies pitcher. I've worked

with him a few times. Uh, he's making the drive in from Crozette, Virginia to meet me in Virginia Beach for this card show that he is Croteah outside Charlottesville, so will be in a more metropolitan area of that part of Virginia. But now look forward to it. It's actually to on my mom's birthday, So a little bit of heat that I won't be around on the birthday, a little bit, a little bit Outside of that, the Chatters had a very mundane, very slow, nothing happening week

for once in a while. Good. Sometimes you need right now, Yeah, you need to slow it down for sure. I'm trying to think. So my my mom is just declining, like it's so sad. I mean, if there's anybody out there who's a caregiver for their parents, you'll know what I'm

talking about. Like she she comes downstairs for the most part, but when I'm away, she'll stay upstairs because my you know, my husband's taking care of her and the kids, and just to make it easier, she'll stay in her room, you know, upstairs, not to go up and down the steps. But she came down yesterday and when I took her up to bed, she could not breathe, like like she she just can't breathe. And I hear her praying to God, like please God help me, Please God help, and like

for me, what do you do? What can I do besides give her out but al and tell her to you know, pace yourself. Starting to get to the point where it's getting worse and worse, and her it's it's her heart, it's not her lungs. So when we take her her uh, you put the gimmick on the finger. It has to be ninety or above, and it's always ninety or above for the lungs, but it's it's less. The bottom number is the heart and it's always beat

beat pep, and that's the heart. They won't put her own oxygen because she doesn't qualify for oxygen because it's a it's a heart related thing and not a lung related thing, if that makes any sense. Yeah, I get you. Yeah they will. So they just tell me give her her she takes breathe in the morning, and she takes you, but al like, just give her that. But it's getting to the point where she can't do the steps, Like

it takes her forever to get up the steps. Then she can't breathe, and she gets she panics, and it's really really bad. So last night it happened and it was bad, and I was sitting with her, you know, I rub her back, I give her a thing, and she just looks at me and she says, please don't put me in a home. What you know how that makes me feel I'm sure it makes you feel bad

because you would never do that. No, And I said, mom, I said, the only thing that I would have to do in the future is maybe get a nurse to come here. If I can't take care of you, I need somebody who can. Like, if I get to a point where I don't know what I'm doing, then we're going to have to hire somebody to come in and take care of you. So yeah, yeah, and I said, and don't bite me, because if you start to bite me, then I'm throwing you down the steps and you're going

in her home. That makes her laugh, But I would never. I would never put her in a nursing if I can help it, There's no way I would. But she started crying and then she was like, you know, I hold you guys back from doing things, and I just I don't know. I just felt really bad, like I'm at the point now where it's like, what what more can I do for her? Like she's failing, Like she can't see, she's going blind. I literally have to cut her food for and help her eat. Half the time.

She can't see what she's doing, you know, she can't where it's going. Well, she can't get it on the fork sometimes it is, you know. And then it's like she when she walks to the because I have a half but you see my house, I'm a half bath. Just her from walking to her chair to the bathroom and back, she's blown up. And the doctor said it's to use it or lose it. Thing like if you don't move, it's gonna get worse. And she doesn't have

the energy to walk right, so she doesn't. She doesn't exercise at all, and that's I think where the problem is. And I keep telling her, even if you just walk around the house like a little bit, you know, but she won't do it. And now we're getting to the point where I think fluid's starting to build up and it's just bad. So I am like stress to the nines. I feel bad leaving for work anymore, because, like she she says, I'm like a baby. I don't want you

to go. I said, but mom, I said, I this is my work, and she goes, but I wish I can give you the money, and I go, well, if you want to give me your Social Security, I'll pay home because she has the buyer medication. Just a lie. The kids cry when I leave. I'm just like bruh. And so go back to saying you might be a little exhausted start this show this week. Men physically, yeah, but mentally it's just draining, you know. And I don't mean to sound like a martyr. That's not no, it's

not like. When I'm there, I feel guilty enjoying myself, but I try to because it's passing the time and it's the only time I go anywhere. I never go out. I go out once every two three months with Betty and that's it. I never go out. So if you know when we went to the bar. When we were there, I felt a little guilty. I said, look, give me in a bar when everybody's home. You know what I mean? I said, But what the hell am I supposed to do? Like sit in the hotel room? I said. It's not

like I'm drinking like a pig. I had one drink and some fish and chips and the conversation about Disney. But I do I get this guilt that comes over me. I just feel bad. And then uh, I don't know. The kids are like, you're leaving again, and I was like, oh my god, yeah I am. And I feel It's just it's this busy month. You know, you you've you've you've really been able to space out the dates perfectly for yourself, to make sure what you do was perfect

for you guys. But this is just this is a busy month, this is closing out the year for you. It's just one of those things. You know, you get through this rough stretch and then December first to be able to look back and say, eh, it was tough, but we got through it. And that's that's kind of you have to. It's hard to think far ahead because it seems so far out, but hey, it's only really three weeks away, you know. And I said I didn't. I only took one booking and December and that's not

till New Year's Eve. I didn't take anything I wanted to spend December. It is like Christmas month. I want to decorate and do cookies and and do stuff with the kids. And like yesterday we took them on a field trip. We took them on another field trip. What's that? Yeah, yeah, we took them to the aquarium a couple of weeks ago and hubs found this place where Washington crossed the Delaware.

So they give you a tour. Yeah, it's a history thing. Yeah, they give you like a tour and they show you, like the boats that they actually well replicas, but the boats that they went in the bar and the places where he held them captured, and you know, the little town you walk around and the lady and there's a map and the lady's explaining where the where the British and the American troops were on this map, and she takes a pause and and my son rips a fart.

I just loved it, and he just nosold it. I was like, that's prett. He waited until the right member where there was no nobody talking, and he just farts, and I'm just like, that's just great. Classic nine. Has Uncle Shane been talking to him? Is that what? Yeah? No, not reasonly, but yeah, so we you know, we did that yesterday because the weather was seventy one degrees. It was beautiful. I didn't want to keep the kids inside, so we went out and we did something like that.

But you know, leaving again in a couple of days, I just I don't know. I just feel guilty. Do you know why free trials were new without your consent? It's a business scam out to get you.

the drop offs in the morning. And I tried to get back in one day and I had it all perfectly, and then everything got canceled and I had to rush to get a room and I ended up sitting in a bar and saying to myself, like, ugh, here I am. I'm in Boston, a place that she's always wanted to go,

by myself sitting at a bar. But the only reason I was at the bar is because there was no place else to eat and I didn't have my room, right, And like, I only went because it was Betty's friend that she hadn't seen in years, and she told me we were only going to be there at all eleven, the big Wire. But you know, stuff happens. But I mean, you know, I was up the next day at seven and working and wasn't like I was late or anything. I was on time. But I'm still it's just uh,

it's I don't know. I said it last week. It's getting to the point where it's like, how much longer am I going to do this kind of stuff? I don't know, I really don't know. Fabulous Yeah yeah, well I said, I have another at least another year that I want to, you know, work really hard. And but after that, I mean, you know, I think I'm I just want to stay home, manire the pen. I like it here, yeah, I mean do maybe once in a blue moon, do a good one here and there, but

nothing like this month. Like, I don't want to be on the road every weekend. It sucks. I hear you. It's I understand. Now, what was the coolest item you saw all weekend? Do you have one that stands out that I signed or just one that one that you signed? And then if you saw something cool floating around? I mean people, you know, people bring stuff all the time. I signed a bunch of stuff, but the one thing

that they had there wasn't wrestling related at all. And the guy asked me every single day to do this, and I kept saying no because I just thought it was a Corona trap instead of a Venus fly trap. It was a cute. It was from the set of Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway. Oh okay. It was the giant venus fly trap. Okay. And the man kept saying to me, can you get in it so we

can take a picture. And I kept saying, oh, maybe tomorrow, maybe, But then you had to put your whole body inside it, and I just said, you know, the firm trap, Like, I don't want to go in there, you know, but people were getting in it and taking their pictures. And did you have to like climb through the mouth. Yeah, oh yeah, you had to go into like the throat where the you know, the back of the and then you were supposed to like go like this, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean it was a cute crop. It was very cute, but I just didn't I didn't want to do it. And then upstairs where the catering was, like past the store Wars section, there were these rooms and there was one room room that was all bloody and it had like a hospital bed and I don't know what movie it was from or but it had like the zombie doctor was in there, and I guess you could lay

on the bed and get a picture or so. I walked by it a couple of times and the one time I looked and Jerry Lawler was laying on the look at Jerry. He's in the hospital bed. You know, a female doctor. It was well, it could have been I don't even know er female. Maybe I don't know, but it was cool. It was all bloody and there was a syringe and you know, medical stuff all over the place. So it was cool. How about the doll

your doll, your doll A lot I signed? Uh, I think I only signed one one of my Yeah, Roadkill was there, oh An, I didn't see him, Yeah, but he he was in the Duncan Center, which is I think it was the ice drink, but that was a cross that was far. It was really far from where we were sitting. So I never went over to like say hi, because it was just they were saying, oh, you have to walk through here. It was like amazed.

The hotel was huge, The convention floors were huge. There was different levels that you had to go to and take elevators and stairs, and I just didn't want to travel by foot too much because I had on these heels and my feet were barking as it was. And you know, so I didn't get to see him there, but I had the guy. I think the guy said he bought it from Roadkill perfect. I think he said that. So I was like, Okay, cool, that's very cool. No, very nice. Now it's in the rear view. So on

to the next one and one down, two. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to this weekend. I love Chad, he's our friend, you know, and I love Shane and I love Sandman, and it should be fun a lot. But it's going to be very busy because I mean, you know, tend to at the store and then we have to jump in the car, eat and then go straight to the show. Yeah, and god knows how long we'll be at that show for I don't know. And then, like

I said, we have to get up early. I'm curious to see how the little town looks for you in the day because when I was there in the night, there was nothing going on outside of his store. Well, we were excited for doing the virtual but also you know, just remember to turn your car off when you I don't have a car, tell whoever is there just to make sure their cars turned off outside of Chad building. Because Okay, it still haunts me that I that I did that. I have to go after this today, I

have to go buy our Thanksgiving turkey. Mm hmmm, because food prices are expected to go up tomorrow, is that right? Yes, based off of the recent reports. So I gotta go get turkey today, store it in our downstairs fridge that we have now, because it seems like it's gonna be a freaking like most expensive Thanksgiving in history this year. I'm real, I am. Uh, Well, you know we're not going anywhere because of my mom, we're not traveling again this year, so it's only us. No one eats turkey here,

so I don't have to make a turkey. I don't know what I'm gonna do for Thanksgiving Chinese food. I don't know what we're gonna do. It's the Chinese version of turkey lo Maine cat. I don't know. I know, well, we're not going to get Chinese. Well, we'll do something. I just don't know what. But it's I refuse to make foods that no one will eat because that's just pointless to me, you know what I mean. No, there's no point to make a turkey when nobody's going to

eat it. So well, uh, we might do what do you want? What do you want? What do you want? And then just do a shmortas board of ade. I don't know, it's uh, it's what we do here. I like the turkey the day of h I don't do it the next day. You don't. You don't like the sandwiches. You can't do it the next day it's rubbery dry for you to dry. Just doesn't feel the same now. I think the sides sometimes taste better the day after. Yeah, turkey,

I literally I will. I don't want to be a waste here, but I will take the old turkey and right into the garbage because it's I do not like it by a small one. We got a pretty big, pretty big contingent coming, so I gotta go a twenty five pounder. Oh yeah, that's a big one. So they'll come into your house for this, Yes, yeah we have. Let's see mom, dad, brother, niece, her boyfriend, sister, brother in law, and then us the four of us. So pretty pretty thick stack of people. Twenty five pounder. And

you know what about my mom will take it. She'll have it for like six weeks. Shall we have a turkey, you know, on on Valentine's Day? Well, hey, as long as it goes to good use. I mean, I think my family's mad at me because this is the second

year because of Corona that we're not going. But I was the one that made the ten pounds of stuffing every year from scratch, and they haven't had stuffing, so they're always like, you're gonna make your stuffing, right, I'm like, yeah, I'll make the stuffing and I haven't made it the last what's the secret of your stuff in? I put like ground meat, sausage, Italian sausage in it. I don't know.

I just do uh oh, thank you. I just do ten pounds of goodness that it takes me three hours to make it, and no one wants to ever make it, so we got stuck making and my mom always made it, but now she, you know, she's too old to do it. So I started making it and they love it. But you know, if we don't come, you're not getting the stuffing. I'm sorry. So it's not shaking, No, it's shaking bacon. I helped. It's not. No. I mean shaking bake's tasty, but this requires a lot of work, and yeah, it's

not happening. I might make a little batch for us because it's really good, but I'm not going to do ten pounds because I mean, you know, we don't have twenty people like we usually do, because we're not going there. Ten pounds of stuffing for four people plus your mom who you'd have to be feeding the two would take you. Guys, like I'd say about six months to finish. My kids don't eat it. My kids won't need it's me and my husband who eat it. And then the rest of

my family loves it. But not going to see them again. So no point. I have no idea what we're doing. We'll eat something sounds good to me. You know. Again, it's just a few weeks down the road, you know, Like you know, they start giving you the days off for the rest of the year with the employee calendars of work, and you're looking, you're like four paychecks or three paychecks until the end of the year. It's like, oh, that is not that far away. And like Christmas shopping, Like,

haven't done any Christmas shopping? I have? I started? You have? Okay, I started last month? Oh look at you. I'm usually pretty good. I used to start buying in the summertime for the kids, but I have not the last couple of years. We want Barbie's dream House on one side. You know, yuh. Keep in mind, we had a five foot tall frozen castle last year, right, I remember that one. Now we want Barbie's dream house. Okay, I'm gonna have

the enchanted neighborhood in my house here. Yeah. Well, my daughter is you know, she's aspiring to be an artist different I guess. You know. She likes to sketch, she likes to do the animation on her iPad and on the computer. She does a bunch of different stuff. She makes like a movie animation. She does it all. And there's this YouTuber that she watches, really talented girl. The

girl's really really good. But she had mentioned these markers that she bought, and my daughter's like, wow, they're really nice markers. So I'm like yeah, and she goes, can I get them for Christmas? You know, because we know Santa is not around, we know who Santa is. I said, yeah, I'll get them for you. What's the name. She tells me the name of the markers. Seventy dollars. I was waiting for it. Seventy dollars for these markers. So then I had to buy special marker paper, which I didn't

even know what. I was like, are you It's a whole process with these artists. So I got her. I mean I got her the works. I got her, the regular sketchbook, the marker paper sketch book, the seventy dollars markers, special pencil, crayon. I don't know what the hell they're called, like the top of the line pencils to color with sketching, A special kind of sketching pencil. I go, can you just use the number two the US the number two

pencil dition Tekonderoga. Yeah, right now, it's called a sketching pencil. And I was like, all right, So I bought it. The sketch I mean, she sat now, But freaking markers, like you shake them. There's something with it that the color does something when you shake it, and it blends like you can blend with it. I said, listen, if I see one marker out of the box or apple, you better take care of these markers like it's your life depending on This just can't count as a sketchy No,

one can't count. No, I don't think so. I mean, according to this girl, because she does comparisons, it's like she'll go to the Dollar Store and buy paint, and then she'll buy the good paint, and then she'll compare it and you see what she paints A picture like this one's really shitty, but this one looks great because it's better products. And she'll tell you what's good and what's not good. So of course, to watch your stuff,

buy the good markers. See. I like this one. This is one of those pencils where you got to twist it from here to get the right point. Only problem is you have any bit of like the slightest little itty bitty piece of pressure on it. God damn it got to twist it again. Damn. But I love this kind of pencil. I don't know why this one specifically, I really like. Yeah, I don't know. I just I got it done. You know, we got it done, and I think we might be done. I'm done my daughter.

I think my son needs a couple of things. But then I was just gonna look at you. Geez, Can I pay you to help me this year? I'll do a consultant December lights. I'm looking for some work here. Yeah, I gotta get on it. I'll get there. I have we we have a shared day off this week both Liz and I. So, yes, we're going to start. I guess that day we're going to go furniture shopping again and look for some more pieces for the house. But she said it, She's like, look, we got to get

we started. We got to start getting something for them because we are really far behind. But see that's you're lucky because now your kids are in school. My kids are not in school. No gifts. Yeah, hey, turn your head for ten minutes. Okay, Like I'm gonna have to lock myself in a room somewhere, you know, and my son's my shadow. He's always like where you're going, and he's like right behind me. Can I come? I'm like, really, I'm going to the bathroom. Tell me you're you're doing

work downstairs, you're doing your recording. You have to Yeah, I have to do it. And uh, I might just do a lot of bags that I could just throw them in the bags and be like here you go. You know, it's a big piece that I can't do, and then I'm gonna have to get drapping paper. But like the Barbie's Dream House, Like, how the hell we got a big house? Now? How am I supposed to hide that? Well? You're going to assemble it, right? No, huh? The thrill is the box? Are you kidding me? I

can't do that beforehand? No way, Well you think I should do it before Yes, that way, when she runs down, she could just start playing with it. Now you're going to spend your whole Christmas time to put together that shit show. I just think that it's the thrill of the box. Can the box be there like behind it? What you could do is you can put it under a cloth, wrap the empty box, let her open it, and then take the cloth off and it's all fun.

Maybe maybe I'll do that. That sounds sound like a bad because it saves you time because no offense to Barbie in her dream house. But you know, it's like buying another house. It's so damn expensive that you know it'll distract her from not halving as many gifts because how expensive it is. I know, I mean, I don't know if they're difficult to put together. I know I had a dollhouse that was a bitch to put together. They're half and half now there's a lot of like

clickie parts. Okay, Well, if it saves you time, I would wrap the empty box and just have it assembled. The frozen castle, as massive as it is, was very easy to put together because everything's a click click click, click click, and then you know. But then it's like the decals have to be perfect, and Else's bathroom has to be perfect, and else's mirror has to be perfect Else's bathroom. Great, she takes frozen shits? Oh, very good. She just lets it go. Yes, come on, I got

a million of these lovely Yeah? Anything else before we had to the wrap up? No, I I need sleep. I need a lot of sleep. I have a lot going on. Oh, today I have a well you're gonna miss it again, but I'm on YouTube for a live interview at off. I will be watching well, yeah, yes I will. I always like to. I would like to watch your work and see how it's going out there in Queen of Extreme Land. Yeah. I have cameos to do and I have to cook dinner, and you know,

there's a there's a lot. There's a lot going on today. I got a lot of shit going on. I have to put on pause my search for the perfect television as I look for a giant massive I could only like equate to the Titan Tron. Wwe uh today, I was. My other plan was, after we were done recording on TVs, what size are you looking for? I was trying to go pretty damn big. I had somebody step in and say that I should look at the projector screen. But I think those are kind of like passe at this point.

I think ours is either a sixty or sixty five. That's what I'm sixty five is where I've settled at. I wouldn't I want to get an eighty five inch TV, but I was like, you know what, let's stay practice. Sixty five is exactly where I was. I think it is. But ours is also a three D with the glasses. Oh wow, we never use it. I think we did it one time and I was like, what is this watch on this? I don't even know what it was.

I just come on, I don't need that. Well, they're all four K. Everything you see now is four K, right, and it doesn't sound as fancy as it used to because you can go on Walmart and buy one for like four hundred bucks now, whereas they used to be two three thousand dollars. Yeah. The four K though, I always like marvel at because it makes the people look like they're like really in front of you, like you're

watching a movie. It looks like they're really like walking and acting out like a real scene on the street. So I don't know, I just needed to turn on and show me my You know, my husband used to be mad because I didn't put it in HD. So like I'd be watching yeah one with the lines on the side, and he would literally come in and put it to like eight oh five or whatever the hell you're watching standard definition? Yeah, that's what he would change.

What are you doing? You're watching this program like you and he's like, no, you have to have it an h dam. I'm like why. I was perfectly fine with the regular. He took care of me this weekend while you were away. Request. There was a movie from the eighties called The Boy Who Could Fly? Oh, do you remember this at all? It was a it was a family movie. I just there was a scene in it I was telling my my little one about because she

loves anything having to do with toys. So in The Boy Who Could Fly, it's about a boy with autism that they he's got he doesn't. He's nonverbal. But the neighbor who moves in across the street is the only one who can you know, make contact with him. But he's always trying to steady himself. His parents died in a plane crash, so it's just but he can fly, that's the thing. But Fred Savage is in it as a very little boy and he plays with g I

Joe Figures from the eighties. And I used to watch this movie as a kid and be so jealous of what Fred Savage had in this movie. So I was telling my little one about, you know, how he set up his toys in it, and I had it in twenty minutes. Well he's good. It's a Saturday afternoon. It was great. Yeah, he's he's on the ball there. If you need something, you just let him know. It was very key, so you know, while you were away, the boys will play very I'm glad he can help them out.

That's wonderful. All right. Well, let's tell you what we're gonna be doing this week here Patreon. Okay, we will be having our good buddy, long close personal friend of ours here on Patreon. Nni Vinny joined us very Disney Parks Quiz and Vinnie's friend was at Rhode Island Comic Con and put Vinnie on the phone for me, so I was able to face time. I was signing autographs, so it was nice to see him there. Very nice again today, We've done this one before, but I'm gonna

go back to the well because it was funny. We're gonna guess there it is, Guess the nickname. So I'm going to give you a wrestler's nickname and you're gonna tell me who you think it is. Oh, did we do that before? We did one similar to it? It was. This one is a lot more detailed. There's a lot more funny nicknames I never even heard of going through the list. Okay, and this one not the match that

I was originally looking for, but grabbed this. Okay, Oh, Bam Bam versus Shane title change as I I'm thinking that's New York and Rick Rud's involved. That's correct, this is the New York title change. Bam Bams. I remember that. This is some of the best performance I think you guys ever had. Was this night with the reactions to Bam Bam and how he could turn on triple threat unbelievable. All right, But this past week, just a few days ago,

was the anniversary of the Golden Dome show. So yes, it was, so that's why I trigered, triggered my brain. We never watched this, the whole thing from start to finish. Very good stuff.

This week I have on a guest named Mike Hollow who is actually the He trained under Killer Kowalski. He opened up the Chaotic Training Center in Massachusetts that was very big in the early two thousands. He helped train China, he helped train Kofi Kingston,

he helped train Tomaso Champa. He's got a lot of people under his belt and he joined me. Well, I was going to pitch him to you at some point. But here's the reason I had him on was he he worked actually as a WWF production guy in the late eighties early nineties, wanted to get into the business. Trained under Killer Kowalski was such a natural that Kowalski basically handed the keys to the kingdom over to him, and he parlayed it into this huge career as a

trainer to the stars. So okay, so sounds like a fun listen, Yep, you're done. I'm done. If you want to follow me on social media across the board, you can catch me at ecw dfa freezine.
