Speaker 1

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

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

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

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

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

the one thing with the best things. Athletic Greens uses the best of the best products based on the latest science, with constant product iterations in third party testing, and the most important part it costs less than three dollars a day, So you're investing in your health and it's cheaper than your cold brew habit at Starbucks. But it's also cheaper than getting all the different supplements yourself. You're simply investing in an all in one nutritional insurance. But don't just

listen to me. Athletic Greens has over seven thousand and five star reviews, It's been recommended by professional athletes and is trusted by leading health experts such as Tim Ferris and Michael Gervais. So right now, it's time to reclaim your health and arm your immune system with convenient daily nutrition. It's just one scoop in a cup of water every day. That's it. No need for a million different pills and

supplements to look out for your health.

All you have to do is visit Athleticgreens dot com slash francine again, that's Athleticgreens dot com slash francine to take ownership over your health and pick up the ultimate daily nutrition insurance.

All right, let's getting going right here, right now. This is eyes up here, Brandon, Eyes up here, seeing on our patriotic channel as well as on the Creative Control Network. If you didn't know a buy now my name is Chad in every single week. Well, I'm joined here by the one and only Queen of Extreme Francine. Are you? Are you extreme today? It's horrible weather here. We had a storm pastor of knockout power only an hour ago. How are you well? I'm good, I'm We have a generator.

You need to look into a generator. They are fantastic. We've I feel like i'd mess it up. How would you mess with it? I don't know. I feel like I'd messed it up and it wouldn't worked. No. They First of all, you don't install it. Somebody installs it for you. Okay, and within a minute all your powers back on. Now, if it's you know, a Comcast, Exfinity or whoever your provider is, that they cannot help you with because that's on their end. But yeah, you'll you'll

never lose power with the generator. It's a good Uh, it's a good thing to look into. No, so the generator doesn't go out then at all. No, okay, all right, that's a plus. No, and uh it boosts up the you know, the your house value goes up when you're in and ours I think was about eleven thousand dollars. But it's great and within like a minute it comes right back on. So do they accept pesos? I don't know. I don't know what they do the other where you live,

but maybe they do. Yeah, maybe a payment plan, I don't know. But it's it's a good investment for your home. And you know, we we did it because mainly like my mom with her oxygen and kids and you don't want to be without him stuff like that. So do that do the lights dim? Well, your power will go out for like a minute, but then you hear and then everything goes back on. You're like, okay, all is well it's literally just a minute, Like sometimes the clocks

don't even go out, that's how far. Oh wow, it comes back on, which is a blessing. So it's it's a good feature to have. But I I'm tired. It's been a long week. Hubbs is visiting his family, so uh, you know, I'm here, uh with the kids and my mom alone. And I can say that now because by the time this airs, he will be home. And but yeah, you know, he's out visiting his parents. We couldn't go because you know my mom, she didn't want to make

the trip. It's a very far trip. And uh so we're home, but I'm just like, you know, we moved my daughter's bed into the main bedroom, so it's like the three of us are in the bed and uh where I'm laying on my husband's side of the bed now because my son's on, you know, the opposite tide, and there's like a crevice. There's a dip. Because you know my husband, he's a very large man, there's a dip and he's like, oh, I tried to fill fill it a little bit, but I'm literally like, I feel

like I'm in a coffin or something. And it's not. I'm sure it's comfortable as hell for him. I mean, it conforms to his body perfectly. With me, I'm just like, what is going on? And I tried to like move over a little and I kind of rolled back. It's just a temperpedic mattress. Yeah, okay, like this, and it was an expensive mattress. Too, but his side is completely just his butt, Like if you get off and look at his body can form this shape. You know that? Yeah,

saying the same thing right now. Yeah, I I don't know, but uh, you know, it's been a it's been a rough couple of nights, but uh, you know, I'm just I'm sleepy. And I was this when I was getting ready this morning. I was listening to the closing arguments for the uh Johnny Depp amber Herd case. They're rehashing everything and it's just like, I just went the jury to decide and let us all move on with our lives,

because this is a big investment. I've been invested now for many weeks, and quite frankly, I was looking for something to watch and this filled the void. And now what am I going to watch? I needed to watch, you know, Yeah, what's six weeks or something? Right that? Yeah, it was a six week trial. I got into it a little bit late. I didn't do it from day one. Yeah, but I mean it's like the last week was fire.

Like they were like, there are some good stuff. And then Kate Moss came on and she was short and sweet but perfect, and Johnny's face lit up like a Christmas tree when she came on the screen, and I was just like, Ugh, get back together, please, we love you. What about what about Ellen Barkin? She was first of all, I didn't even know they did it, but I know I didn't really like what she said very much, you know,

I mean it was her recollection. I wasn't there for any of this, so I don't know what's true or what's not. I only know what I believe. But I'm telling you, like Camille Vasquez, the one judge is phenomenal, phenomenal. If you ever need a judge, that's the one to get. I'm sure she's quite expensive, but man, her closing arguments, I don't know if you listened to her this morning, they were fantastic. Absolutely, she hit the nail on the

head for everything. So if I was a jewer, I would I would definitely vote Johnny Depp in favor of Johnny Depp for sure. The Ellen Barkin thing was just funny because they did a lip read like there's a you know, recaps on YouTube they do, like the TikTok style videos, and he nous the words. She looks like she could be my grandmother. She's I think I believe she's ten years older than him. I think she's sixty. She looks it. She her hair is more of a

grayish color. She's still an attractive woman. But I never I never knew they were. I didn't know that. Yeah, I don't know that. So when she popped up, I was like, oh, interesting. Of course Google is my friend. So I went on and I googled and I but it's just interesting. It's interesting to see all these different people and you know, stars and some people. I didn't even know what the hell they were talking about, but I still watched it religiously and just I don't know what.

I'm gonna fill my time, my extra time with me. What about Jason Momoa? What'd you think of him? He didn't testify? Oh? I thought he did. Thought was that a goof? That? I see a goof? Then they mentioned him several times, but he didn't testify. Okay, who was the guy that testified? That was like kind of goofy oh he he that was not Oh? I thought he was the gentleman that owned the trailer park that they went to when they supposedly sat around the campfire and

took Mollie and drank. Okay, all right, sorry, Yeah, my bad. Jason Momoa Aquaman. I thought it was him just from what I had read, But I saw he had a big goatee though, and long hair. Right, No, he didn't have long hair. I thought this guy had long hair. Hang on, I'm gonna find out who it was. Yeah, I don't know who it was. But this man owned it and then sold it. And then Amber goes up there and says he wasn't there that night. I never saw this man, and the man was the owner of

the place. So somebody was lying. I don't know, but interesting to say the least. I don't Yeah, I think I fell for a goof testimony. Okay, somebody did like a parody one. Oh no, it wasn't Jason. They mentioned him several times. Yes, but he believe me if he if he testified, I'd be like I'd be watching with that screen blown up. Well, sorry, sorry to say. It's it's going to be over. I know it's going to be over, and I think it's going to linger. I think the jewelry might be kind of split, but I'm

hoping it. I don't know. I mean, you get they talked about the me too, movement and all this stuff. So there might be women on that thing that sympathized with her. I wouldn't because I don't believe her with all the evidence, but who who the hell knows? I just hope it doesn't last for weeks and weeks, so I just want to know. I just want to know who wins. I want to see it. I want to

celebrate with a mega pint. Are theyk I going to discover security footage of her shitting on the bed and like full they already had pictures, what do but like the actual physical video evidence of her bent over on the bed. Look at me the security camera getting from the other angle. Oh bad, so bad. Now it's interesting. It's sad. I think both of them are very troubled. But if I had to lean to one side, team Johnny. So there's completely great. Yeah, next week you're gonna be traveling.

I just want to Yeah, we're so. I'm gonna be coming down to see you. Yes you are, Whether you like it or not. I know, I'm stuck bringing my good friend the franchise with me and my bestie Betty Bango, and we're gonna head down to Virginia. I don't know the exact locations. They're on my Twitter. I'm sure i'd be exclusives can fill us in. He will once he shares the screen, but volume so we didn't echo ourselves to that day. Lining's coming up June fourth, which is Saturday.

We're gonna be from two to five pm. We're gonna be in Winchester, Virginia and shaneon I will be signing autographs and taking pictures and kissing babies and all that good stuff. And hopefully if you're in the area you can come see us that day. And on Sunday, which is June fifth, we have a public signing ladies and gentlemen in sports. Okay, it is myself and Shane Douglas at the Sports Sports Plus Trade show from ten am

to twelve pm. So for that morning of two hours, we'll be doing the same thing, signing autographs, kissing babies, taking pictures and reminiscent about easy Dub. So if you're in the area, come see us. All the information is on my Twitter and the addresses and whatnot, and I hope to see a big, big selection of people coming to show their support. The show's got a lot of buzz I have to say, does it? Yes? This Winchester. So I was in Virginia Beach last weekend. I was

working with Bill Eady aka Demolition Acts. Who does he does know you? And he says hello, perfect. We were talking about podcasting last week sir. Yes, And he was a lovely dude. I mean, I had such a great time talking to him. He's just come on the show sometimes. He's so he works during the day because even though he's retired, he works with special education students and he is he's very tired of during the day. I gave him the whole pitch, the whole nine yards. I thought

he'd be great. Yeah, and maybe if you have contact and yeah, you don't want a weekend because he's very busy. They're doing the i think the thirty fifth anniversary of Demolition or something like that. They're touring that's important. And so I was talking about people you know, were coming up to me about Winchester and this show. It's a two day show. We're there on the Sunday and it's there was a lot of buzz about it. I'm looking

forward to Yeah, me too. I have not been in a Virginia quite a while, like I said before, and I love signings. They're my favorite thing to do. So looking forward to this a lot. We'll see what happens. You will absolutely see me on Sunday, that is for damn sure. We had because of rain. We've had this incredible amount of reschedulings this season with our softball team.

And the thing that was implicated the most was like the team day right pictures, you know, the families come out and they do all that crap, and they reschedule it for June fourth, So there Saturday. The times are conflicting. If I'm the the goal is to like race out to Winchester as fast as I can. But I mean it's you know, I'm the I'm the key cog to the to the team, so it's kind of kind of hard for me to leave. But that's the thing that's coming up. And it's also our last regular season game

of the year that morning. So okay, we're good, damn good team. You've be impressed. If you're not there, you need to directly to where you'll be. You're in good hands. You got no thing. I have that crap covered already. I don't know with you what I have to tell you. This too, and it's funny. We'll talk about Patreon afterwards. So I don't know how I fell into it, but I got YouTube Premium. Have you ever seen the ads for YouTube Premium. Yeah, it's like free for three months

and then you can cancel. Yeah. I took advantage of it because you can cancel it before the three months is up. Yeah, and I've said a little alert for myself to cancel it. It's the greatest thing ever. Really it Actually I could say if I wasn't so cheap as it related to this stuff, it is well worth the fifteen bucks. What is the no ads? But we love our ads? No no, no, no talk about other

people's stuff, right, but most most importantly music. So you can have your YouTube music that you listen to, right, But it's in a separate app, and it's like your iPod and it's incredible and you can switch between the music and the video if you want. It's incredible. I'm in love with it. So funny when we do our watch along, if any ads pop up, you got to tell me so I can pause because excuse me, fanciness.

I love it. I was sitting there on the stupid music app all night yeah, looking at the music and being like, okay, this is I'm going from watching the Beatles. I'm going from the music to the video music video. Right, all right, we got entrant number one. Okay, well we can start and then we'll add our number two. Returner the airwaves, returning high Steve.

We were just discussing the Johnny Depp amber Her trial and I was just watching the closing arguments, and I was, uh, we were talking about whose team are we on? Are you following this? Uh? Not closely, not as closely as the paralegals in my office. Uh. They seem to be more interested in the Johnny Depp trial than in the Stephen p New trials. Uh that

we actually have that pay their check paychecks. But yes, uh so I absorbed that through through all of them. Okay, okay, And with that, Gary, is it DeMar on? Am I saying that correctly. Yes, Carrie Da Marry Damron is here if you want to let him in always you know why I unseen hm because of the way my laptop there. Hey Gary, look at those glasses. I love that, Thank you.

and that'll take you to the pay per view information. Okay, and I've been retweeting every time I see something retweeting like crazy, so I will post the links as well. With the poster's phenomenal. I see Brian Pillman Jr. On there as well. Now he's not able to We actually have an updated post, so I'm going through the Twitter. I'll go to the updated one. Sorry, Oh, okay, he's he's not able to make it now Matt Cross is actually taking his place hold on. Here's a poster, a

good looking poster. Well, I'm super excited. I've never worked with Brian Myers and I've never worked with Heath. Well, listen, Brian is beside himself. He is very excited to be working with you. Oh that's very sweet. It's it's gonna be a good time. And and you know, I haven't worked with Rhino in years. I think two thousand and nine was the last time I even saw him. I don't think i've seen him since then. Steve, are you are right? Are you? Are you there? It's frozen again,

poor man. So anyway, I'm very very excited. I thank you for including me absolutely being a part of it. Now, before the show even starts, we're gonna have like a fan fest. Correct, We're gonna get out from five to seven. We're gonna open the doors at five. People can come in get autographs, pictures, you know, whatever they need. During that time, all the guys will be out there for

the meet and greet. So that'll be a good time for people to come in a little early and get to maybe, you know, meet some of these people that they watch on TV every week, So be a good night. And of course, you know, you're very familiar with how these meet and greets work with the fans. It's a

good interaction, you know. That's the that's the beauty of independent wrestling is you can actually meet people and you don't have to just go and get a ticket set in your seat and watch the guy walk from the back to the ring and then from the ring to the back. You can actually meet them, so right, So it's a good thing. And I will be in full baby face mood for the meet and greet, but then I'm gonna switch the script up and I'm gonna be

a full heel for that, you think. So, you know, if if you want to meet nice fraens, and you have to come early and you have to meet me before the show starts, because when it starts, forget that the bitch is gonna be coming out. And I'm super excited. I haven't been able to play this role in a really long time. So it looks good on paper. Let's just hope it continues and into the ring. But I can't wait for this. This is gonna be great. Oh yeah, yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun Bankley. Last year

we had well over one thousand people there. This year we're expecting even more. Really, and I'm nervous here. I'm nervous. I'm nervous about that. I am. I'm getting butterflies. And we're two weeks away and I'm not even doing anything right now, and I'm nervous. Yeah, it's gonna be time. Well, I'm I'm totally looking forward to it again. For more information, they can go to our Facebook page, which is she'll be under All Star Wrestling WV I think, or they

can find me on Facebook, Gary Damern. You know you'll see my pictures, so yeah, if they want to. But the place to go to get the pay per view, of course is www dot asw WV dot com and Gary all the information. Gary, How long have you been in this wacky world of professional wrestling? I have been doing it now for sixteen years, going on seventeen, okay, And why can I just ask why? Well, you know

a funny story. I started out promoting gospel music and I did that for probably about ten years, and I found out that Ted Dibiassi was a preacher, and I bought him into one of my concerts and it all just kind of developed that night. He was telling me about how, you know, booking some of the old legends and stuff that he you know, ran the roads with, and I thought, man, I've always I grew up loving wrestling, you know. Wrestling was always just something I adored and

I still to do to this day. So I thought, well, I'm going to I'm going to try this out. I'm going to promote so and it just I started it, and I had some ups and downs of course, just like everybody else. But yeah, once it got going, we just keep moving right along. We've never taken time off. We've always you know, So, how many shows have you promoted over the course. Last time I counted, it was one hundred and fifteen. Wow, okay, so I'm not sure

how many we're at now. That's been probably about a year ago, so I'd say we're about one one hundred and twenty two. Yeah, okay, well that's very impressive. Yeah. I worked with you at a wrestle Caid last year and it was wonderful and yeah you were you were great and you know, no complaints on my end anyway, hopefully not on your end, but you were great to work with. So when you guys asked me to do this, I was like super duper excited and again, can't wait

to see you guys. Can't wait to come there to West Virginia. And uh, if you can't make it in person, please please please watch us on pay per view because it's going to be a hell of a show and you're gonna regret it if you don't see it live. Absolutely all right, Gary, Well, I appreciate your time. I will be in touch with you, okay, you know before two weeks passes, so we'll talk before then. But just wanted to grab you really quick and promote this and hope all is well on your end. Yeah, I hope

you're doing well too. Good to see you doing doing great. I'll get that video out for you sometime today once sometime with all the schmams and well, we'll keep promoting. We want we want as many people as we can to have their eyes on us for this evening. So uh, well, we'll do what we can. But thank you so much for including me, and I will speak to you soon, and please tell Steven I don't know what happened to him. I don't know what happened. I'm going to check on

him after he's a victim of that wretched car. Uh what do you call Wi Fi connection? Poor dear, But I appreciate both your time and thanks so much. I'll be in touch as Gary take care. Isn't it funny that I'm I'm legit nervous and we're two weeks out and I'm talking about it and I have butterflies in my stomach. It's yeah, it's I mean, but that goes to show you. You know, you care, you care about your I do care. I care so much that I bought several outfits and I don't know what I'm wearing.

Their Amazon has been on fire. They've been at my house every day dropping off. I have like three dresses I have to try on still because I have no idea what I'm going to be wearing. They're like, lady, make up your mind. My gosh, I can't. I just I don't want to look like I don't want to look like I'm fifty trying to be twenty, you know what I mean. I want to be like I want to look age appropriate, but I don't want to look like an asshole. I just don't know what to wear.

And then I need an outfit for the meat and greet too. I'm not gonna wear the same thing that I'm wearing that evening, so I had to buy like i'd buy two outphas, which I ended up buying like six outfits. And I don't know what I'm wearing for either. I don't know. And the guys could just come out in their T shirt, yeah, many shorts with their you know, balls sticking out the bottom. You know. Oh, well that's

the look there going. Let me tell you something. Heath with that cocky look in his chest hair, is just looking magnificent right now. He's a baby face. He looks like such a douche. I might be on the wrong side of the cart here because look at the see I thought you guys were the baby faces. I think we're the heels. Yeah, I thought you were the baby faces. But you know again, how you Heat's got key. It's man, he's got key. He's not kids, you know. Rhyino, Well,

I don't know. Maybe Rhino will come out eating something. That's the last promo I saw. Mem You's sitting there and what was eating cracker? I don't know what he was doing, but uh, you know, I prefer working as a heel and I'm super excited, but I'm so nervous in the same breath because you know, I don't I don't really do shows anymore. Yeah, and sometimes it's like, well, well have you but you have to do this and this, and it's like damn, yeah, can I just sign and no, no, no,

you have to work. I was like, ah, okay, fine, so doing it, happy about it, but very scared. Did you happen to notice this really cool angle that I found for us? Where was it right here? Look at that we could sit under TV commercial? They have a commerci Yeah, they have a local commercial uh out in that area West Virginia. But I don't know. I just like this angle where we're on the bottom of it with the screenplaying the whole thing oh with us? Oh okay,

yeah yeah yeah, very nice pleman. I know. I wonder what happened with him. I think that he had to cancel a lot of bookings from what I think I had seen about him. Sad. Yeah, hopefully everything's okay. He's a really nice guy. But yeah, so anyway, looking forward to that. That's gonna be a lot of fun. If you're in West Virginia, come on out and see us, and if you're not, get it on pay per view because that is uh. Gary just texted me here. Yeah,

nice guy. I heard nothing but great things about him and how specional he is and the operation that he runs. They're too far out from me to go to a show. I mean that is like, oh yeah, that's a track. I mean that is incredible. My flights are ridiculous. I thought it loss over layovers and I'm going in the wrong direction to get up to go down to go side. Oh dear God, coming home. You know, my my flight at three thirty in the morning, ridiculous. I hate that crap.

That's the yeah. I love when like looking at that and say, oh, well, you've got to go to Georgia. You got to go south to go north, yes, or whatever, and it's like and I don't blame anybody. I don't blame Gary for that. But no, no no, no, getting to West Virginia's bitch. It really is difficult and it's it's not going to be a good travel day, let's put it that way. But you know, I'll get there and

I'll I'll be happy. Now. The guy I worked with last week in addition to Billy Toy, the ballplayer was coming from Oklahoma, Okay, Oklahoma City to Norfolk was two layovers. One was on the way back. I think it was Dallas on both sides. I can't even begin to tell you how much the ticket costs. I'll text you what my ticket costs. You're gonna be like what, I you know what I will. I will reciprocate, and I wonder if it will be uh any bit. I will let

you know. Are you texting me now? I don't want to say it because I don't want to put it in I understand, but this is what they paid for my ticket. Okay over? Oh really, okay over? Well that's outrageous. Yes, that's what I'm saying. This is outrageous for this. But because Oklahoma there's nothing, and especially going into Norfolk there's nothing. So I think you're gonna have a great time. I think you're gonna knock it out of the park. I would love to see a bit of it afterwards, so

I'm sure you will. We get our mits on it at some point, I said, hopefully we got our mits on it. Yeah, we'll get some myths we'll get and maybe then we can do a watch along at some point maybe so yes, but uh yeah, So a big couple of weeks coming up for me, lots lots to do. Back to me, You're never gonna want to come back to Virginia, West VIRGINI like, I'm done with the Virginia. I'm done. I did hear through your Twitter and your tweets you're going to miss star cast because oh, do

you have previous engagement? You know. First of all, let me just say, the timing on this is ridiculous. I get a text from Moose, who I love, We love Moose. This is great. Would you like to do an appearance in Queens? Now? I think I went there right before coronavirus, so either eighteen or nineteen twenty eighteen or nineteen, I think. Okay, that's a less met Harry. That's the last time. It's just three years. It's been three years since I've been there.

The guys are there like every other month. Oh it's there. I don't I don't understand. But anyway, so we were trying to figure out a and he was saying, like Moss would say, are you available this date? Well, no, I'm gonna be here. Okay, Well, Shane can't do this date. It's an ECW day. That's the whole theme is ECW or you know, and Hack can do this date. He can't do this date. So I we were gonna do July second, and then it was like, wait a minute,

that's July fourth weekend. There might be a lot of traffic. We don't want to do July fourth weekend. That was a consensus from the guy. So I was like, okay, whatever. So we decided on July thirtieth, and everybody was good. And you know, I gave Chris my price. Whatever, Okay, mark it down July thirtieth, I said good. Like two days after, I get a text from Chad Nashville, Chad Music City Toys and he's like did you hear? And I'm like what And he goes podcast and I go, oh,

when is it? I'm gonna have to you know, I want to come. And it's the same weekend. And I was like, what like two days and I'm like when is it too? It's two months away. Why did they wait so long to announce it? I guess I know a week a week prior I would have been able to adjust the dates. I'm so upset about that some sarcast. He knows he can sell it out, he knows he's gonna whatever you get announced it the week before. I'm so shit. I was like what And you know, I

will never cancel on somebody or double book myself. That's unprofessional. I don't do that kind. But I was pissed. I was just like, Maan, I could I could have. I could have had an extra booking weekend and it would have been a good one. I know it. I know because Chicago was great for me. When I did it didn't work out. But you know, in the same token, I'm getting a really nice payday. I'm only going there's no overnight with this. I can get in get out.

That's a positive for me. So I'm okay with that. But I just couldn't believe, like, yeah, how fast he They announced it right like boom, there it is, and then boom, here's this, here's that, and they throw all the panels and now Rick Flair is having his left pro match ever on this No, Ricky Steamboat declined he did oh. He did not feel as if it would be right for his fans to see him at this age competing, so he respectfully declined. I saw a video

either today or yesterday. Flair was on the rowing machine, just on the row machine, and then he's pushing the football gimmick down the you know, pushing the weights down the field, and all I said, Oh my god, I hoop the guy. He doesn't take a heart attack before before the big match comes, because he's working his ass off, he's training. What would you do if they were, like the concept was supposed to be, you know, the final encounter between Rick Flair and the franchise. Shane, Well, they

need Francine in the corner of the franchise. Well, it would work out because she's booked with me and Queens, so we would imagine that, like that's the one they wanted on paper, but francis not available, so we got to scrap the plans. Either Shane Douglas either Shane. Yeah, but you know what I mean. Yeah, it's me, Shane and Hack and they're getting I think they're getting more people in so we'll see. Well, yeah, that would be a good that'll be good for New York. You know,

it's a good it's a good time. Look, I'm grateful, listen, I'm fifty years old. And this is my busiest year so far, and there's a lot of stuff coming up. And I just got uh signed for the Baltimore's Celebfest. Okay, very well, I'm doing that. I believe that's in October. Okay, you know the gathering is in August. I'm doing that for the first time. There's stuff happening, and I'm just

thankful people want me. Yeah, So Baltimore has grown. I was a little weary at first because I wasn't sure if it was kind of too close for other territories. But they have blown it up. Billied he was talking about it last week. He was saying how he was impressed with the presentation and I know people in the structure and yeah, it's it's a great show. It's taken on a life of its own. So that's that's a great one. Absolutely. I heard the c Fest is a good one to do, so I'm excited about that. And

it's myself and shock boy. Oh, I'm exciting it to see Dean and that'll be a good time. And you know, as they come in, if it's a good fit, I take it and I'm excited. Are you going in with a vendor or under the celeb Fest. I believe a vendor I think. Don't quote me on that. Somebody contacted Austin. We accepted and totely not quote you, no quoting, but the info is on my Twitter. So go look at the pictures and you know, see what happens. But it's

it's fun. I love, Like I said, I love these conventions. I love working and you know, now, there's some weekends where I literally just want to stay in my house and not see a soul besides my family. But if they're good shows, I'm more than willing to go and travel and do them. So lots of fun stuff coming up. Cool, Yeah, excited about it. You're busy cat trying to be sure, trying to be so. And of course you know we're doing the podcast, We're doing the Patreon, I'm doing my cameos.

I just got a five star rating today from from a gentleman and it's David. His name was too, So thank you David for that five star rating. We got to get our live schedule, we got YouTube to do, we got a lot, we have to do it. We have to irons. Did you figure out how to put the thanks button on you? No? Thank you for the reminder. I've been busy as a b I mean, this has

been a crazy last couple of weeks from me. I talked about in my career transition and things that have been going on, and it's just been it has been quite the experience without chadow of doubt, I cannot say anything less. Hey, there it is. I found ECW day, c W day. There. It is July thirtieth in Queens, New York at the Wrestling Universe Store from one to four pm. You'll see myself, Sheen, Douglas, Sandman, and more and more and more. I like how you guys are

tilted and not standing directly behind you. Look at you guys are like whoa, Yeah, we're like, oh, we gotta get away from Sandbury. What's going on? You're standing there grumpy in the middle, and you guys are like, oh, we're going to lean this way. Yeah. Yeah. I love when they put and more. You never knew who's going to show up with these things. That's very true. Yeah, so that's going to be a good time. There's a lot of stuff happening. Oh yeah, here it is. Look

at you see I'm scrolling through your Twitter. Oh there we go. The Baltimore Celebtfest dot com. I don't know the times. I don't know if it's on there, but I'll be there. You got time to figure out the times. I believe the sixteenth, I believe I have to be there by nine thirty in the morning. I think that's when the super ticket starts. And that's uh. I think that's when he told me I needed to be there. I was very little. I was so little. I'm so big. Yeah,

and I don't think I did the celebt Fest. And if I did, it was no, you haven't done it yet. No, you did. You did the mcwh invention with Rob. Yeah, I'm Bubba Rob and Baba right. I was there with Caine. I think, oh, okay during that one. And this is this is the fourth one or fifth one. They just did the fourth one h two weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's grown again. I was very skeptical of it, and I have to say I ate my hat on the

success that I'm glad. I love it. I'm glad they did. Yeah. Yeah, good. It sounds like a good show, so I'm excited about it. Would you like to discuss what's on Patreon? I would love to discuss what's on Patreon. Absolutely. First we're going to visit with our good friend CJ, who will take part of the Patreon member spotlight, a benefit of course to being a member of Patreon, where he's going to

show off his expansive colored vinyl. It's like he's got so much, like, well, it's a lot, and who knew it came in all those crazy colors and it was CJ. I will say this, You have a hell of a passion colored vinyl, you really do. So we're going to do that. We're also very sadly going to do a little Good Fellas Rayleoda, Oh, Rayle Yoda. My heart sank when I heard, like Goodfellas is first of all, it's

one of the greatest movies of all time. But his eyes were mesmerizing in that movie, Like I had such a crush on him and Goodfellas, And I read Lorraine Brocco this week, yesterday, this week. It was yesterday when the news came out, and she said she called him my Ray, and she said everybody asked her what was the best part of filming Goodfellas, and she always said my Ray, my Ray. So they were very good friends

and she was very heartbroken of the news. The only thing I read is that he was sixty seven years old and he died in sleep, which I mean, thank god he didn't suffer. That's a good thing. But sixty seven is so young. Yeah, and I wonder what was going on with him. Something had to be wrong. Yeah, I don't know, but God, what a great actor and so sad. But yeah, what makes me sad is that over the last few years people have made fun of him more because you know, the Chantic's commercial and his

voice being so late. Yeah, but the like his smoker's voice, you know. And there was that one guy I think he's on a YouTuber that does like, you know, impression of him, and it just it wasn't I didn't like it when I saw it originally. And it's just a shame. People don't think of him now. Well, now that he's passed away, everybody loves him, But yesterday or two days ago, they didn't think of him in the same vein as maybe we did ten to fifteen years ago. But I've

loved Rayleiota. The Good Fellas for me is the pinnacle of films and the other stuff he's done as well. I mean eight man ouse. He's phenomenal in that. I mean, anytime he popped up on something, he had to be the bad guy. I hated when he was like a good guy. He always he just played such a good bad guy or bad dude. And you can't say that Henry Hill and Goodfellas is a good guy by any stretch. He's a bad guy. That's why he played him so well. Right, Yeah,

it's such a great actor. He will be missed for sure. But yeah, I thought of, yeah, let's do some good Fellows trivia today in honor of Ray. So that's what we're gonna do. And then we continue the saga from last week's uh just tragic incident where you were the recipient of a d d T at the hands of a blinded Raven. Yeah terrible, that salt in the eyes and the powder and what a does to you. But this week we are going to continue with the Impact

Players taking on ECW Tag Team champions Tommy Dreamer and Raven. Wow. Crazy, I you remember what happens in this one? Not really? Okay, Well you're gonna remember it when you see it. I will want to we start watching, but off the top of my head, now I'm sorry. I I was just going to say I remember what we're gonna watch next week more than I do this match. So yeah, this one, now, it'll be nice. We're building an arc to get to

the next stop. We're building the intensity for me because you know me, I don't remember anything, so this will be fun. I like looking back on things that I don't remember. This is great. Yeah, yeah, this is this is I love this. So that's going on on Patreon dot com, slash Francine podcast.
