"The Franchise" Shane Douglas

somebody in the queue and lined up to talk. Yes it with a mask on why make sure it has spread the COVID I guess it can Spratty rise now in his car by himself. Yea, all the white around. It's a beautiful day here in the burg. Oh my gosh, he is there. Yeah. Well, it's not snowing hard yet, but it's uh, it's getting we had we've had the ice storms and you know, all that good stuff. So it's been wonderful. It's snowing here like the third time. Uh yeah, we've got I think we have three inches

so far just today, just today. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. We woke up today about two inches. And they're saying that our couple overdo. But you know, the roads and stuff were fairly clear. The other idiots knew how to drive in it, Jared, he's out there doing his thing. I'm guessing for Pittsburgh that's pretty easy. Though. Two inches is like nothing for you guys. Yeah, we don't start getting

alarmed till sixth eight. I was in a business the other day of a friend of mine and the guy walked in and said, man, they just changed the weather because they were calling for six to eight. And he said they just changed the weather to twelve to eights. And I'm like what, and he goes, I'm just kidding. You got me, because in Pittsburgh could happen, right, So he ran out and got all the milk and bread and all the twilet paper. Been through it, been through it.

Some of the people I look out for, uh, sent me on what they didn't do it? But the goose chase. If I go looking like, what's what's something that every store has? Right? Bottled water? Right, every store has bottled water. If you if I go looking for bottled water today, I guarantee you every store will be sold out of bottled water. Now. Tomorrow when I don't need it, every store will have it. It's so this is the story

in my life. I spent the other day, like on the scavenger hunt around Beaver County to find coffee, Italian bread, uh, detergent, and a few things like that. Every store was out of the side to keep hit hopsquatching. Then it became like the challenge, right, can you find it? So wow? Yeah, the Travails are being a franchise, but the coff looking very good on a on a beautiful Thursday morning. I think I'm gonna glue down right this time? Right? Wait, we have I have a question. I have a question

for you. Don't go there, you'll get You'll get canceled. This whole show will get canceled if you go there. That's true. Hey, we got it. Before we go, we continue. Just a question for you. Who's got the better quaffs? You are nineteen eighty five, Paul. Uncle Paul's got a pretty handsome, pretty damn good Sarah Faucet. It's the male version of the Parah Fawcett haircut. Yes, we need we need a satin pillow with a franchise on it. Could you imagine like walking into your room closing the dark.

That'd be great. Well, we we recently had a sleepover. You and I do some explain, and I will, I'll keep talking, thank you. We had an appearance together a couple of weeks ago and we did a virtual signing. I can't remember Billy Barf was the man's name, but I don't know what the company was. I don't remember sports fans promotions, thank you. Shane didn't know either, But poor poor Shane. It took him about twelve hours to

get to me. And then when he finally did come, we did the Early Bird Special eight dinner, very early and quickly, and we had to get on the road. And so the funny part is we're I think it was on the way there. We're driving and I don't know where we're going. I'm just following GPS because I've never been to this location before, and Shane's not familiar with the area either. But I see headlights in the back of me, the like policeman lights, and I go,

oh my god, now I'm being pulled over. Shane goes, I think you are, and I go, oh my god. What do I do? What do I do? He goes, well, let's pull over and see what happened. So I pull over and the cop pulls over, but he pulls over like a mile behind us, and for ten minutes, Shane and my sight and it's dark, it's super dark, and we're just sitting there and I go, what's happening. It's good.

I'm thinking, like we're either like on the fugitive hunt or something rather gonna come with guns blazing or or something else. I think they pulled another car over. We don't We still don't know, but he was so far behind and after ten minutes, I was like, I'm just gonna leave, Like, don't you think he would have walked up to the car or pulled up behind. I don't know, but it like the car was directly behind us but

far back. So I don't know who we pulled there, but I almost cracked my pants because I thought it was me and and you know, it was it. So that was a close call, but we did. We had a great time at the signing. Thank god no one had corona because there was like twelve people in the room with no mask on. When we walked in, I was like, ugh, do we dare? But then every you know, we took pictures after with them and everybody was healthy,

so that was good. But it was it was very enjoyable to have you in my home with my family and good. First of all, the meal was was incredible. I love good sauce, not gravy. Gravy's and the stuff you put on turkey gravy is when you add meat to it. I can't emphasize this enough. There were meatballs in the gravy, in the sauces. Gravy. Yeah, but it's not really meat in the sauce. Meatball sitting in the sauce. But that's meat. But it's not disseminated throughout the sauce.

But it's still meat in my gravy. It's gravy. So what do you any continue to put me over? Go ahead? So what do you put on turkey on Thanksgiving? Brown gravy? Brown gravy. It's you people over there on the other side of the state. It's crazy. Let me ask you. Do you drink pop or do you drink soda? Soda? Oh, come on, it's pop. Never called it pop in my life. It's not hot. And do you say water or do you say water? Water? We pronounced it with a D. I'm sure water, yes, water. If I think about it,

I'll say it correctly. If I don't, it's water. Ireen, and I picked all those up long before each e w One of my I was an r A in college and one of my students was from right outside of Philadelphia something park, right out by the airport, Ridley Park. There you go, and uh. He used to come and he say, where's the water And I said, O, d E R Yes. I try to correct myself, you know, educate my children on how to talk correctly. But I

used to have a bad Pittsburgh Geese habit. Everybody around her in the ground we all say Yin's right, where Yen's going, like y'all or U all or you know. And and when I went to college, I didn't never thought about it because everybody said it. And I went to college and everybody kept saying Willans is going to the bar, and I started thinking, like, Yin's that does sound pretty bad. So I've broken myself with the Yen's habit long ago. But I still say, Washington, Washington, That's

what I said. No, everybody's got something, every every state has something. Jersey, it was draw versus drawer. I can't say drawer. Opened the drawer next to me, it's draw You opened the draw drawer, it's true. Yeah, the draw I can't speak Pennsylvanians. Can I don't know, But anyway, it was it was nice to have you here. We had a really good time, got to reminisce. I was

up away past my bedtime. Yeah, might I add, but it was it was, Uh, it was nice, and I just wish that we could do more of those, because I think the fans have haven't seen us together in a while, and I think they really appreciate it, both of us being there at the same time because it's usually just me or you're doing your thing, because I'm scared to do live shows with you, so I won't

go out. But it was very enjoyable. So I also had, aside from the pleasure of meeting your immediate family, I had the pleasure of meeting your mother after all these years, right, I mean, like thirty years later, I meet missus Fournier and really nice lady. It was only what ten to

fifteen minutes so before she went to bed. But I'd met your father several times and not several handful of times when i'd come pick you up or whatever, But that was the first that I can recall meeting your mother and really, really nice later the pleasure to thought, and like, I'm sort of amazed because I keep seeing like these occagenarians, you know, like Dominic and my neighbor and my stepmother and your mother, and it seems to me when I was a kid, eighty year old, people

looked a lot older and acted a lot older than these people do. I mean, they're amazing. Yeah, well, she was impressed with you. She was like, he's such a nice It was the quaff, Yes, it was. Well. She couldn't wait till you got to the house because I mean, you know, for years, of course your name would come up because you know, you and I were inseparable at one point. And she's like, it's so weird. I've never

met him before. I'm looking forward to meeting him. And then I had to put I think my daughter waited up, so I put her to bed first, and I said to sheen entertained mom while I'm going upstairs. But I was putting her to bed, and my mom was so impressed because you were talking about Hazel and Grit and all the old shows. And she's like, he's such a nice guy. And I was like, he watches my shows. I was like, oh, you would love them. Yeah, she's

impressed with that. I'm an oldie. It's yeah, there you go. But it was fun. It was a lot of fun. I just wish we could do more of those things. It was not only was it fun, but it's super easy. Hey, can I something off about you? It depends what it is. Well, I'm saying this is as careful as I can. I was shocked that the Queen of Extreme didn't walk around

the house dressed like she does in the ring. I expected the gowns and the flowing articles, and instead you were taking care of your kids and making dinner and washing dishes. And I was like, wait a second, this is It's like whenever I met Randy Savage the first time working that night, right you know, on TV's ordering Liz around and all that. And right after he talked to me and gave me some advice, he walked on and real sheepishly knocked on the door. He said, Liz,

it's me, honey, can I come in? I went, oh, come on, man, the illusion is gone. I know, I uh, you know, it's real life here and that's it. I mean, I was dressed when you walked in the well, I was impressed. Yeah, well for the signing. But your kids were cool too, you know, like like my boys may walk past and I was giving a high five, right, and when when your color walked by, did the same thing. And then your daughter's showing me her art work on

the computer. Again, I'm an old guy, right, So computers, I'm still in the process of learning them. And to see a kid that age to be able to do that on a computer, like to me blows my mind. Like if you paid me ten gazillion dollars, I couldn't do that on a computer, even showing me how, you know, it's it's impressives great to see young kids like that doing stuff and and finding their way and learning their interests. You know. I always get a kick out of that. Yeah.

And when you left, they were like, oh, mom, we like Shane, is he going to come back? I said, if we get more work. Yes, we got to get work. Moving into the basement. He's moving into the basement. We have room for you, Shane. It's fine, great time, No, it was. It was a good time. It was nice. It was like I said, it was nice. It was easy and it was fun. It was it was and a break from all this insanity, right, I mean, just

to see some semblance of normalcy. I suspect and I hope I'm right on this, that people are ready to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Uh. You know it's I couldn't take a stab in the dark. He saw the shooting in Philadelphia yesterday right North Philadelphia. Seven people shot. Without question, this this whole thing has something

to do with it, right. I mean, you put people under pressure, and the pressure builds, sooner later some people are going to release that pressure in whatever way they can figure out to do it. You know, I don't want to get on my political soap box, but you know I think it's this pandemic has run its course and had more than another. I was just going to ask you. I saw in an article recently, I think it was yesterday or something. Now they're saying the vaccine

needs a third dose. Got that? And what do you know haven't seen it? Well, I'll give I'll give my three to somebody else because I sat next to you. I'll tell them I won't use names because this would be you know, exposing somebody one of the ninety year olds that I hang around with. I'll say for this man. You're not Dominic, Okay, but uh, one of the eighty nine year olds that I hang around with. I mean I hang up with a a bunch of near ninety year

old people. Makes me feel young, right, that's because you want to feel young. Yeah. Amen. But she and this woman is is what more I would consider like an average eighty nine year old person. I'm like your mother, Dominic or my step mother. Uh. I get a text one morning from her daughter that mum was diagnosed with COVID. Now she's been a lifelong smoker, and my heart sunk.

You know, this is my buddy, you know, I don't you know some she ain't coming home right The next morning, I see him walking into the house and my first thought was that they send her home to die. I mean, she's old, right, old old. And she did tell me later she was over. Her daughter told me they had her on two middile leaders of oxygen, which is the lowest level they can give you, for four hours, and they took her off of it because her oxygen SATs were too high. She came home and she said that

she was really sick. She said it wasn't fun, but she said she never felt like she was dying. She never had a fever, she never lost her sense of taste or smell, and she said it was like the worst cold she ever had. Is the way she put it. Now, based on everything we've been told with this thing, right, that should have been the poster child, and which is why my heart sunk. Yet she came home, took no medicine for it, just sort of toughed it out. Now

I look at my kids, your kids. I know again, if the data we're being given as accurate, ninety nine point ninety seven percent of the kids recover, if they're even symptomatic, and the point zero three or point zero zero three that get deathly ill or die from it have asthma or other additional problems. So why are we shutting these schools down? You know, I'm certainly not gonna. I don't feel comfortable. And this is not the wrestler speaking. This is the guy that was accepted a medical school.

And remember my virology classes. Why are we shutting everything down? Shooting me? Called me? I read a headline yesterday. Millions of businesses have been shuttered during the pandemic and probably won't come back. How many people have been put out of work. I mean, just the devastation is the suicide rate among teenagers, which just breaks my heart to hear through the roof. Are we clearly we're doing more damage

with all of this stuff. Like my son Kayden is in virtual he goes back two days a week next week, thank god. Knock on wood, right, But why are they not in class now? You know? I don't know if you guys remember I remember high school pretty well, and it was the social side of it was was the big thing to it, right, hanging with her buddies and you know, pulling pranks and doing all that right, because my friends used to do that all the time. But yeah,

I just think it's unforgivable. And the people that are behind us and pushing this and and mostly scaring old people right, Like to me, that scary anybody, but especially old people, you know, like my stepmother. She she is being wise about it, but she is scared to death to leave the house, you know, And I go out. I'm in thirty forty places a day and sat three feet from this person who had COVID for three five nights a week and never got anything. So never know, Stepmom, no, no,

she told me to day. Well she's not saying no, but you know she's researching, and so far what she's research she doesn't feel comfortable with. So you know, it's just in that place right now. But you know, my oldest son is of age, it's nineteen now, so uh, like I told him, if you you know, if you want to get it, that's your decision, but do your research. Cayden, however's a different story. You know, he's fifteen years old.

So he's my in my ex wife's responsibility, and I can't with good conscience stick a needle in him and put something in that I know I can't take out if And the worst part to this is should Cayden be one of the kids that has a bad reaction and God forbid die from it. I can't even sue the company. You know this, This is the craziness of it. And so like, well, I'm with all the ancillary stuff and when you add in the politics to it, to me, it just you know, tells me, you know, my Brandon

tells me, ain't no chance of my kid getting that nick. Now, maybe it's a year from now, if we haven't seen a lot of fall out from it. You know might contemplate it, but as of right now, and he doesn't want to get it, so yeah, we're not. No one here is getting it, so we're that's where we're at. But well, you know, I told my stepmother that they were in good company. I saw a report out of Ohio that the governor there said that sixty percent of

healthcare workers there have refused to get the shot. The same numbers in California and some maybe Texas. There was another. There were two other states listed, so you know, they're they're doing their damn distarring. They to tell us they it's safe. Look, I'll take it. Well, that's your decision. Yeah, this is my decision exactly. I just feel like it's too soon. It was made too quickly. We don't know enough about it, like you said, and I'm waiting it out.

We're super careful. My mom doesn't go anywhere. Yeah, and we talked about this, like most of her health appointments have been virtual online and she only goes to cardiology where I know they're all tested and it's safe to take her. She'll wear her mask and that's it, and she doesn't she doesn't go out, so she I don't feel like she needs to put that in her body. She's got three health risks going against her. What if something counters. I'm just I'm scared. I'm just scared to

give it to her. Well, okay, and I think that you know, fear it can be a good thing if it's the right reason, right. I mean, you don't just go jump in you know, a pool of water at the local fish farm, right, it could be sharks in there, you know. So with this thing again, like you putting all my medical school hat. Uh. This is the first

vaccine in history. It has been made for the messenger O a messenger and as it was suggested, is some of to transmit signals into your in your body, so when you come in contact with the cold, it sends the message to the immune system. Hey, we've got to kick up here. Uh. There's never been one made from this before, so we don't really know. They can take a pretty good guess that they think it's safe. That ain't good enough for me to stick a needle in my kid. You think it's safe, I need to know

it's safe. I agree, But I'm gonna switch topics because you just jarred my memory jumping into a pool and the scene sharks. Shane and I had to do promos at the y MCA and we jumped into the pool with all old people and they all ran like no tomorrow.

Yes that was There were so many bathing caps, old bittings in the water and all It's like, okay, we have to we need this side clear and what are we gonna tell these people get out of the pool, Like do you remember the epithets that we were filming a scene right with me swimming laps and you coaching me a Yeah, water therapeutic. Water is very therape Damien's our buddy that passed away a few years ago. He

was the head of merchandising sales for ac W. Yeah. Oh, he was one of those guys that he would crack He would and he was in no way trying to be funny, but he would crack you up all day long because he was so serious about everything. There's there's another story if we have time for it. Uh and reading. Remember when Sabu and rub Dan Damn busted me open front and back. So I was busted open in the back,

busted open in the front. So we had to go to the Redding hospital to get staple and stitched up right. So he's in the room of the ladies. The doctor has sewing up my front. Now I got to turn over so she can staple the back right. So I'm talking to Damien and she goes, who are you talking to? I said, my buddy. She goes, he left. She goes, he didn't look so good. So I'm looking for him. Right, I'm walking down the hall looking and all the doors, and I finally come to the there's a bag I

can't find. Here was a bathroom here, so opened the bathroom up. He's laying on the floor and he's got his feet like straight up like this, up on the sink like a v. And I looked at what the hell are you doing? He goes, I read somewhere that put your legs. That will make the blood rush to your head so you don't pass out, he said. When she started stap on your head, she said, the room

got dizzy. Oh god. I don't blame him, but he crapped his pants when he had to be a part of the the you know, our promo, and he had like this real long steel because he was the doctor. I don't know if you've seen it, yeah, it's a long time. Oh my god. But I was trying to make him af and he's hot at me because he's like, can you stop? Because he was just so serious about it. I'm going hilarious his facials and he only saw over his shoulder, so you saw like an ear, but you

see me, and his face was milk white. He was scared to death. It's hilarious. If sobody could find that video and post it up someplace, I'd love to watch. It's got to be one as we're speaking, and it's it's not immediately available on YouTube when searching for it, so you got to either have it in the vault or have the WWE network or something, or Peacock or where the hell it is now to uh to get your little mits on it. Hilarious. Water is very Oh

my god, such good times. Hilarious. Remember always playing the Jerky Boys in the car? Uh huh. So I was talking with Cody Michaels last week and he sent some clip of I guess somebody that's doing like today doing like the same type of thing, and I was throwing him back jerky boy segments right that they need to play. Just great stuff, great area, so fun. Are you working now? Are you are? Do you have shows that you're doing

or has that calmed down? Yes? It died off again right hopefully with us, but the numbers drop in every place. They can get everything backed up and running again. But this this will be the third time now, right, So my manager had last year, Chris Moose, had set up a great year when this first hit. They have operated in three four days in the fall. He worked again, you know, busted his butt to get it filled up again and had November December pretty well filled up and

those slowly evaporated. So he's back back at it again. And I said, man, you're you're a glutton for punishment. God bless him that he doesn't. But uh, you know it's I just hoped that much. Excuse me that once comes back, it stays back. You know, it's nothing these false starts. Did you did you go back to Queen's and do uh Jack Sabbath's story? Yet weren't you booked for that? No, something happened. They had me booked, but I wasn't booked, uh, or I just Chris Henswa's fresh

my memory. They they had had something to do with sad Man if I recall correctly, like he couldn't make it or something. Yeah, there was something something weird like that. It's you know, again, there's so much information in my head swirling around from all this, and I just sort of like tone out, the tune out the the crazy stuff, you know, and try to focus as much as I can. Cody Michaels had told me that he was, uh, you know, he's had you know, some health issues. He said that

he had to tune out. You know. Most said the same things, say it's driving me crazy, so they just sort of blanked it all out. Unfortunately for me, I said, I always get a double whammye right. I I know politics, politics and government, and I know the wrestling business and all work. When I see a work right and putting us two things together, it's like you know when you you can't drive by an ambulance and not look right. I mean, that's what we all do, and with this

I can't. It just keeps sucking me back because I you know, you can't miss it. You scrolling your news feed or whatever else and you see the headlines. I've never seen a time in my life where the headlines you could you could pretty much discern the story once in a while you're getta swerve, But you know, you read the headline and you already know the article. There's no reason to read it because it's you know, it's

gonna be garbage. Just yeah, it blows my mind. I was just talking to a few minutes ago, and you know, he was just kicking things back and forth. But Cody told me that what he does is at night now is he's been going home and turning on like Gomer Pyle and me. That's the way to do it. So I I followed his lead. I've grabbed a bunch of old movies, John Wayne movies and you know, old movies from like the fifties and sixties. Put them in fall, right to sleep, no no pressure, stress, just enjoy it.

And that's the way to do it. Amen, Amen, least at least maintain whatever few sanity cells I have left. Yeah, it's uh. The only thing I have booked is in May, like a physical appearance, and I'm supposed to go to Indianapolis. And I'm just like, is that still happening? Because it was canceled last year. I was supposed to go there last year and now they're promoting me for it. But I'm like, Okay, are they doing masks? Am I behind the table? Are they in front of the table? Like?

How are we doing this? Because there's no way in hell I'm going to be like this with someone if the payper airplane the eight x ten sign it and then shoo Chris. You know, if I was a fan, I would not want to attend these things. You're not getting your money's worth. No, yeah, it's or I mean, well, last year I made one appearance, one of the November

appearances before they all evaporated. It was in Indiana. Uh, it wasn't Indianapolis, but we went there and the thing that surprised me was a the place was pretty full. I thought it'd, you know, be half full or less. It was pretty full. And I counted the masks from the merchandise table. I think there were five or six

masks in the stands and shoulder to shoulder. So I thought, you know, as those people were coming over, I would ask them, you know, do you want to picture, you know, with the franchise like this or do you want to picture with the franchise? And they wanted I'd pulled up it's their prerogative, right, we said, taking the shots ours. Uh And not a single person said they wanted the mask up. They all wanted it down. So you know,

it's uh, I guess it's your comfort level. Yeah, you know again, but you're a little bit of a different boat. You have an eighty nine year old in the house. Oh, she'll be ninety one, my dear, ninety one. Okay, of she was. He made as all the ones that I had ninety one this year. Yeah, bless her even more so. I mean, yeah, for every listening out there, nothing at all when you pitch for a ninety one year old, nothing at all like that. And she just got her

hair did yesterday, so she looks really good. Damn she got off rolling. She does, Yeah she does. But yeah, you know, so you know, but still with that age saying with Dominic, right, like I I'm reticent to go around. You know, I know he's getting loan at the other day, were talking on the phone. He wouldn't let me go, and I know he's loan out there, and you know, and that's horrible. Luckily, you know, your mother has the kids and you and you and your husband running around. Yeah,

you know, and that's that's no small thing. But you know, you certainly would never want to take something in and going out again. Where where does fact end in fiction? Pick up or vice versa, you know, And that's yeah, just you know, tell me the facts. Don't tell me today. It's up, tomorrow, it's down the day after that, it's in between. You know, I can't. I can't foolge an opinion on that understood. Well, it's uh, it's definitely a movie of the week for sure. I don't know who

would play what role. But I'm sick of it. I've head it to Florida. I'm going to Disney World for a couple of weeks. So I'm getting hell out of Dodge and what right over it. I love it. You never see, like at the end of like the Super Bowl the World Series, say hey, Tom Brady, you won the super Bowl. Well, yeah, yeah, I'm going to Disney World. Yeah what were you? Were you down there in January?

But because of COVID, we didn't plan anything. And then we were seeing how the restrict they're only letting like thirty five percent in. It's very safe, crowds are super low. We looked at each other, really, let's just go because we're we haven't been anywhere since March. And these kids, God bless them, they're so good, but they're so bored. Sure, and I was like, I we need to reward them for being so good. So we're like, we're going down

for two weeks. So we're shipping mom to my sisters and we're we're ahead at the Florida and uh, I can't wait to get down there.

I'm thinking them in a couple of weeks taking a swing up through Ohio. My son loves both of my cancer letters. A water parker.

They're called Kalahari, And you know, I'm thinking that in a couple of weeks, maybe taking them up there and stopping and seeing some family and yeah, yeah, it's indoor in Ohio. Yeah, the slides are a lot quicker when it's ice. Yeah, definitely. Now it's a huge one. It's right on the probably about five six miles near Theedar Point outside of Cedar Point. It's a huge comb I've never been in. My kids have gone several times with my ex wife. Massive. I mean it's you know, probably

five blocks long. It's a huge, huge place. But you know, just the same reason, you know, give them. I told the other day, I said, dude, I'm so proud of you. He said, why, I said, sitting in this room every day and looking at a computer screen, man, I'd have been one of the suicide. Come on, but it's hard on them too. I mean it's you know we're going through, but it's hard on these kids, it really is. Yeah,

that's all again. That's one of the things to take off by seeing your kids, you know, just the normalcy, as much as it could be in this that they were, you know, around the house is sort of like in their groove, doing their thing and and going with the flow. You know, my son doing the same thing. Man, hats off to all of them. Yeah, exactly. Well, I don't want to take up too much of your time. I just noticed the name of the francois the franchise. Come on,

damn up there I was gonna say. Somebody wrote wrote in was this park? Somebody at someplace that maybe it's one of the uh I'm trying. I can't remember where. Some of the fans asked me, was my hair real? Joined the twitch chat? Was that what it was? I think it was do you wake up like that in every morning? Or something like that. I take taken right as as a cap right, yeah, because I think I said it was a two pay Yeah. Unfortunately, if I was saying if I was gonna get a too paid,

get one, a little better looking one than this. Hey, by the way, have you seen it's a little bit of a current events. Uh what's the record producer just died in prison? Uh uh uh uh uh spector Phil, Spector Phil. His wigs are going on auction. Jesus Chris, I want the big afro one. That to me, it was like, see that thing we have to hold the camera Botley back to here. That'd be great fundy for Shane's afro wig online. I'm sure it's not going to be cheap. Do you have anything you want to plug.

I'll be appearing at the parking lot of the Apple Store and you're getting fixed. Yeah. The franchise will be at the chipplewall at m T Store here in about ten minutes. Are you gonna pull a Virgil and and just set up in the parking lot try sell some Why not? Just got the table in the back. It's right, hey, but you know what every ribs are about that. I'll say this, anybody that's willing to bust their hump to make a dollar like that. Sure, you know, God bless,

God bless. It is a bit funny, right, but hey, it's uh could be a lot worse. Right. Well, the funny part is that he literally will grab a kid who's not near the table, take the picture, and then demand twenty dollars. Well, I've been there, I've seen it, and then the kid's so scared he just goes in his wallet and gives them the money, because like, what are you gonna do? It's selling if he personalizes it, can't just hand it out to the next comic. Har

you Chad my brothers. When we were walking through the Freehold Mall and Freehold, New Jersey, it was a baseball card show. We were there for somebody else didn't see them. Virgil goes, hey, what's your brother's name? Out of the blue. I'm like, oh my god, Virgil, his name's Doug. I think he said, hey, Doug, how you do it? Takes the picture, signs it handed to me. He goes, that'll be fifteen bucks. I was like, what are twenty three?

Twenty two? Is a man? He was a man? I was two thousand and Jewish because he was trying to convince us that uh Vince was bringing back Hogan Hall Nation Virgil for the nw O so we got we always have a future, walked down the moll and grab something, you ask them what their name is, I'll sign it real quick. Oh my god. But my brother was like nine, okay, So I mean I was kind of caught off guard. That's hilarious. Well, it was seeing you again answer your

tax messages. Hey, I got him like that, I stop trying. Can you really be like, oh I miss her so much? And then I'm not just I won't respond. Well, if you notice that you haven't been getting any political stuff from me, right, I'm sort of propped out from that a little bit. But it's I've got to get the password thing for the password thing is driving me. It's like like the Scavenger Hunt last week. Won't start me

with your password? Bro? Can I get it done? Because it's I've been there five times hours of this morning and now was like at and tears. Why didn't I just change your password? Because if I do it without them being there, I got locked out of my phone one time before for like four to eight, four or five days. Yeah, you know, anybody else, it's a piece of cake. When it comes to the franchise and tribulations, what's it old and the artist? Welcome to my world?

Always a glitch. It's ceiling. Never in the story of my life, this guy. But there's a but there's a blessing to that, because once you realize that life is going to do that to you, you sort of prepare for it. So in that one off chance when something does go right, it seems like it died and gone to heaven. Wow, Well, better days ahead, my friend. Oh by the way, Oh yeah, I don't want to get anybody to COVID. He looks like an old timey gun flinger.

That's why he's watching John Wayne movies. We need we need to start going that. Taking that clip from the movie and playing at the end of the Triple Threat, Shane come back, Shane movies? Are you free shooting the zombie movie? They? How did you hear that? You told me? Tell you? Okay, No, they are actually, I mean I did need to talk about something else, not not that, but another project. They the writer director Cutting Nots, wants

to reshoot it. He has since he's been working on movies since in that industry, on things, He's learned a lot more about the financing and all of that. Back then, we just found investors took the money they invested and spent that to make the movie he's since learning and figured away because it was much much bigger budget and better effects and all of that with newer faces and you know a little bit of the story your faces. Yeah, but there's but there is something else that that had

had been forwarded to me. These are the Cody Knots working on that and other people he's working with. So, and they need a female female teacher type. I was gonna say, am I playing a mother? Am I playing because I'm old male female teacher type? But it's it's it's uh. I can't say too much on the air route. I'll give you a call until you know, Yeah, call me. I'll be waiting five years later. Well, what's going on? Well?

I can also play a zombie. I have a really good push up ra So if they need a hot zombie, wait, zombie is supposed to have saggy ones, aren't they? Yeah, I would think it would be getting the opposite direction. No, I want to be a hot zomb. I want to be a milk zombie. I'm not gonna I don't have saggy boobs, but I don't have like nineteen ninety six boobs anyway, work the implants or busted. What can I say? They're real now put the camera down. Yeah, they're just better.

But we played franchise. I'm available, Shut up, I'm available. Yeah, make COVID go away and I'll be all over the place. We don't want to We don't want to turn this into a zoom call, do we? Is it was that a CNN Skype zoom call? Yeah? Skype is when you pay to see girls tatas. Oh, that's what some of the girls were. They were doing skype calls. I never did them. I don't reverse misogynistic, because why can't we guys do that? You agree, we can. I know women

who would pay for you. I'll call you later. We'll talk about trust me, they wouldn't this pandemic way. They certainly wouldn't. See Shane, how do you turn this thing on? Where's the camera? All right? Buddy? Well, I will talk to you, thank you, and have fun at the water park, and we'll try to touch base in a month or so, because I'm sure. Then Smoke signals yes exactly, Shane, and

there goes the franchise. Look at that? See that ate up the whole hour almost Yeah, I've been looking at the time I'm like, I think we need to cut a short because we can keep going. We can't. So there's actually there's one thing I wanted to just say. It was awesome for it to have the franchise joining us. Uh didn't plug the Triple Threat podcast again, like you didn't the last time. But I asked him, what do you want to plug? Russo brand if you want to

listen to the Triple Threat podcast. We talked about on Patreon two weeks ago, the dating game with my brother? Right, did you mention it? I'm sad to report we will not be playing the dating game? You know, really, what's wrong with him? I thought it was a great idea, but no, we will not be playing the dating game. Programming notes for those that were looking forward to it. All right, look, I'm going to put it out there.

Oh, I'm so disappointed in you, Dug. Yeah, I know he's not even listening, but Doug, what a jerk? Over him? What a jerk? But how about this, So we'll talk about Patreon here before we say goodbye. Ironically, this is we can the franchise here on the on the Eyes up here platform because we're going to bring forward the

fran scene and franchise twitch chat I put it. Look an idiot, put yourself over. I had chat on the brain. Hang on, wait, let me fix that, ladies and gentlemen, because he has the twitch chat everything.
