Have you Halloween? Everybody? I can't talk? Can you hear me through the mail? Okay? I wish I brought it down with me. I originally had this like almost kind of Jason looking mask right that it covered the whole face and it had a hood. And then I was like, how the heck are they supposed to hear me? It was like a no. But the other one was like a dome. It covered my whole face. I was like, am I supposed to talk? All? This thing is making my nose itchy? Damn it? Well I can, I can
hear you, but what do you think? What do you think of me? So? Are you a living dead doll? Like? What are you classifying yourself as a zombie? What do you identify as? This was I followed a what do I identify us? This was a zombie tutorial that I followed, and I had some coagulated blood left over from last year's shoot that I did, and so I said, Oh, I'll just be a big chested zombie today and I
think it turned out pretty cool. That was exactly what I was going to be this year, but I changed Yes at the last minute, I changed my mind, and thank you to five below in Warrington, Virginia for having a fiend mask and cough set. Well you are just you're looking great. I must say, I think you put a little more effort this year or no last well last year I had a mask and blood and had a smooge on your face, so that my face. You had some blood on your face. But yeah, it looks good. Well,
why don't we do our intro? People are starting to come in the room and then we'll h we'll get going. All right, here we go three two one. Sorry I was trying to be scary, so hey, let's get it going right here, right now. This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to a spectacular and very creepy edition of Eyes up Here right now, live on Twitch, also on our Patreon channel, and on the Creative Control Network
later in the week. Later in the week. It's November, so this will make zero sense, yes, but live today and Halloween is on Sunday. Correct, So it's a treat for those who came in person to see us today. So now, before before we ask if you like the trick or the treat, we have to introduce you. You are the one and only Queen of Extreme Francy. I am the queen of the zombies today. Yes, I am bloody and gory and sickly looking and pale, and I love it. So do you like the trick or the treat?
What's what's your favorite? I like the treat. Who wants to a trick? Well, it depends on what kind of trick. I don't know. I don't it's scary. I don't like Halloween. I'm not a Halloween person. We all know. I'm not turning tricks. I met in general, not you don't turn tricks for I know. I didn't mean that. I met like in general tricks or treat in general. No. I like treats, but I can't eat treats because of these
stupid braces. Uh, that's right. Candy, and I'm just like, oh, I want some of that, but I can't have it, so, uh, that's not happening. But I hate Halloween. I hate everything about it. But I decorate it. We give out candy. I get dressed up for you guys, and I think I did a decent job today. You know, I look like I should be in a slasher movie. I think a zombie slasher movie. I would love for you to try out for the next uh uh what do you call trauma? Uh? Trauma? Well, then I'd have to show
my boobies probably, and that's not happening. So yeah, but we could just turn you into some like toxic you know, like Avenger of some I'd wear a bikini Avenger. Yeah, I'd wear a bikini and a trauma movie, but I wouldn't show my boobies. Not family that you know. But anyway, Welcome everyone. I have to I can't say I'm sorry. Guys. We have Mill City kids here, t Thomas, Christy, Tony Rod Robinson's here, Michigan, Chris, Betty bang Hi, Lovey Dovey.
Welcome everybody. Welcome in. It's our Halloween show. Thank you, thank you for the compliments everyone. I tried my best today. Let's start it off. We had some news this week about r O H which was pretty shocking to me. I have some friends that work there. I don't know if this was a shock to them as well, but they seem to be uh closing their doors for a small amount of time. Yeah, revamping, regrouping. What do you think do you think they'll be back in two Well,
when you try to sell your tape library. Usually that's not a good sign that you're coming back. And leaping everybody from contracts also not a sign that you're coming back. I don't know, I don't know. I know. I mean, I know WW relaunched NXT or the new Vision, But what's it going to do for ROH to go away for months and months to only save the money. Yeah, but I think at this point, I don't know. I
think the nail is in the coffin. To use a spooky pun, but it's like it's shocking, but it's not shocking, Okay, it makes sense, you know, Like, it's what have you heard about ROH since AW came on the scene. Well, I mean, they don't have the platform that AAW has, but they before the endemic, I thought they were pretty consistent with their shows, and you know, their talent was promoting them like crazy, and I thought it was a decent product product out there. Yeah. Yeah, Unfortunately, you know
I went through this. It was like all of a sudden, boom, we're out of business. Yeah. No, absolutely, it was a shock for sure. But I think if anything can be learned from the ROH closing is that we've seen it publicly before. We've seen how things kind of get, you know, get themselves. We'll let Francine kind of regroup her screen. We've seen companies close in the way that they have, but I think this is the first one we've seen do it so publicly in quite a while. So that's
the problem. I would do the cheer song like, but I can't because it's not technically my channel. But she will be back here momentarily. Let's see if she's back here. Are you back here? Queen your froze for a second. I said, this is had We've seen wrestling companies closed before, obviously, you know, like you were just saying with ECW, we just haven't seen it so publicly in a long time, right, And that's why I think it hit everybody so hard
to see all these sad tweets coming from all the superstars. Yeah, it's heartbreaking because I went through and I know how it feels. But what I was trying to say is they gave their company a heads up, you know what I mean, It's like, Okay, this is what's happening. We're issuing a statement. Last show is going to be in December. They kind of have a little vision for twenty twenty two.
Maybe with us we were still promoting pay per views that weren't happening and thinking that we were going to go on to the next show, and you know, we had no heads up. So at least they got a warning. It still sucks, but you know, they have a little at a time to plan and get their indie bookings going and trying to find work. Obviously with us, we were just kind of like, oh, it's over, Okay, what
do we do now? You know? So it's it's heartbreaking, especially when you put your whole, you know, your all your eggs are in one basket. Roh is my thing? Now I don't have my thing? What do I do? Right? So in two thousand and one, WCW had just also closed the next month. So after you guys close in February, WCW closes in March. And now as free agents, there's only one destination. Now it's a little different. There are
many viable destinations now for folks. What's the advice you give to those talents that have now been released from contracts that seemingly they thought they would have For some guys, you know years, you have to get the word out that you're available. And like when it happened to me, we didn't have all these platforms to go and say, hey here I am, I'm available for bookings. It was like you need it to get out your Rolodex and look up these independent promoters and start reaching out. Hey.
We had an email back then, Hey I'm available, Do you have any dates for me? You know, now all you have to do is send out a tweet and everybody, you know, thousands and thousands of people can see this tweet, they can retweet it for you. It's easier today than it was twenty twenty five years ago to brand yourself
and market yourself. So I you know, I don't know how often they ran as a company, but if they, like if if guys were under contract and they were all weeklies, even if they weren't working, that's going to hit them hard, right, So I don't know how much
money they had over there. I have no idea, but I do feel like these guys will be able to work and fill these dates on indie shows because there's a million indies that are running every weekend and there's a lot of great talent out there, So I think they'll be okay. But it just sucks that they're not on that platform where everybody's going to get to see them shine. Sinclair Broadcasting huge, they even have more money than the con Family. They're just they're that big of
an entity. But they really weren't putting any kind of money into Ring of Honor over the last couple of years outside of just having them for content on television and Ring of Honor's history being what it is, going all the way back to two thousand and two. You know, I spent many years at those early Ring of Honor shows, and they can't miss shows to go to us as technically is house shows because they weren't on any kind of TV. It was all DVD trading at the time.
But for those people that were contracted, they probably had a pretty good guarantee for all those shows. Now and you're marketing yourself to independent, you're not going to get that guarantee that they got from the big company. How's that kind of adjustment for a new talent, Yeah, you have to. It's not like you're coming off of like a WWE television where you can say, well, my price is this, you know what I mean. It's like you
want to work you need to work. You have to find that happy medium where the promoter's going to pay you something decent for you to show up. Plus you have your merch to sell too, so that can make up for the gap, because I don't know if ROH lets them sell their own merch. I mean, of course you could sell merch online, but at the shows. I
don't know what their deal was. Everybody has to kick it into high gear now and start promoting, start getting booked, start getting merch out there, and you know, maybe something good will happen out of this. In twenty twenty two, you repackaged. I don't know, maybe that they have something an offer on the table. Maybe that won't come into effect till next year. Maybe it's dead in the water. We don't know. We have to wait and see. But I know how it feels, and I do feel for
everybody that's involved, because it does suck. Mike Durban points out it sucks not as much as Root TV season three sucks, and he hello, hello, yes, and uh and Mike, let me let me just you're the representative for forget my go there. There was a little bit of controversy this week and the Gentleman that tweeted at me then told me he was drunk tweeting and he missed ooke. So I'm glad for her friends again because I was getting ready to cut all you guys off, but now
I'm not. I got scared for a second because I was like, was I drunk? I don't remember if I said anything. Here's what here's what it is. I can
defend myself now publicly. The the show that we were discussing, UH brought up how the death of Shannon was being exploited by somebody, and I came to the defense and said that anybody who kind of says that that's exploitation of a friend's death or a coworker's death is so wrong and out of line, I said, because I've seen how it's affected the people close to Shannon, and that is they talking about me. No, no, no, they were
talking about Vince Russo. But it was because this guy's got an extra grind and a little little obsessed with a you know, what he thought was a I guess, some sort of friendship, but now it was really the context was completely missed by the tweeter. But he then apologized for it, and that was wonderful because he needed to. Yeah, I was like, oh, I said, what did they say about me? You know? And don't worry about it because Chad came to your defense and I'm like, what did
I do? Now I help? If anything? That's how it would always be, because I would always come to your defense if anything was said. Imagine what was being said. I was like, what did I did? I say something like how did I pissed? Get my go off? Because I'm I'm always promoting them and then talking, you know, kindly and favorably about them. So just back to r oh Dan over here says from what I hear, they are just going to be an independent company with no
or very few contracted talent. It's kind of how it should have been. It should be because that's how it was at the beginning. So Dan, you're hearing no TV? Is that? Is that what they're doing? There's no TV whatsoever? Maybe see but if you have no TV, is the market for DVDs out there? Or would you run it on like a Twitch or it's exactly right streaming? Like
look at Dreamer with House of Hardcore. He had a he had a deal with Twitch and you could watch the House of Hardcore show on Twitch he had Danny Dorian does commentary. Now, hey, but I'm just saying he had a deal with Twitch where it was perfect for that. You can just pick up your phone, you might. I don't know how that works. I guess any kind of Well, look at the NWA. Go into YouTube, right, Look how the buzz that they got, so you know, it's it's
one of the Tube is a different thing. YouTube you make money off of views, and you know, it's free to subscribe, whereas with Twitch you pay to subscribe and you can get tips and stuff. YouTube you get tips too, But YouTube you're earning money for the people that are watching Twitch you have to you're earning money for the subscribers, So it's kind of different. So I don't know how running or wrestling shit, I don't know how that works.
I don't know. Does anybody know? Let us know. I to me though, if they're selling the tape library, that's its curtains, because there's no way, even if you were going to go to YouTube, you would just put your tape library on YouTube and make the money off of the content they've got. I mean, look, could it be any more like sitting there for AAW. They've got the history of Brian Danielson, CM Punk, the Young Bucks, Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, all these guys that are big stars. You're
losing blood. We're losing I mean, does anybody know a doctor? We're losing blood? Here on one side of he would it only makes sense for AW to a fire the footage just because they have the main cogs in the R o H historical wheel. Right, I don't know, that's crazy. I missed a comment Michigan, Chris right, speaking of W W E and a W has anyone tried to contact
you to do a match or valet or even impact? No, Chris, you know, I'm kind of old, and I'm I'm a home and I don't work anymore, so I don't think any of that stuff is going to happen. But I am available to do signings that I love because I'm protected behind a table and the only thing I have to hold is a marker. So I kind of like that. But no, No, no one has approached me. How about this question. Did R o H at any point in their history ever approach you to come and do anything?
Not that I recall. No, really, no, I don't remember uh ever being in talks with Row. They had a pretty good influx the VCW talent at the early stages O two oh three, because who was involved at the time. It was a lot of ECW centric people behind the scenes. Look at who didn't pop in there, you know during that time, you know, and and and I could even throw Shane in there. Shane was never in r OH. And there's a couple other pretty big guys at that time two oh three, oh four that you would expect
to be there and they weren't. But Steve Carino made a big name in the early r OH days, justin Credible was a big part of the early rh shows. And Guerrero was in the first ever main event of show. Yeah yeah, So a lot of ECW centric talent in those early stages. But no Queen of Extreme. No, No. And that's okay. I I don't even think I've ever been to a show, to be honest with you. They were good. They were good back in the day. They
were good. I mean when the Murphy rec Center in Philly, inside or outside, I mean, they had some phenomenal shows. I mean, there's an ice rink up in Edison New Jersey, the rex Plex. Uh in Edison just great, great venues to watch shows and some classics classic matches. Uh been. I had to have been to in the first four or five years, more ROA shows than any other company combined. Huh okay. They were cheap and they were fun. They were good to go to. You get fun. You can't
go wrong with cheap and fun. I love it. Chatter you dressed as JVD. I am not dressed as JVD. If I had, if I have Monopoly next to me or a Monopoly board, I would be d Who is JVD? You have to check out Get My Go episode three and fifty four. He's just a guy. That was discussed on the recent episodes of Get My Gown When You're Knocking. No, JVD would be known as bottom Left, not to be confused with bottom right right, Not that there's anything wrong
with that. Wonderful welcome in everybody, young Shire, average frustrated gamer. Who'd I miss Dan's here? I think I got Dan? Did I miss anyone? I don't know? Christy says the Edison shows were great. They were freaking awesome, very good. He loves the Edison shows. Yeah, well wait, you know I hope everything works out for them. Like you said, it might be the nail on the clothin when you
sell the tape Library. But I don't know. Maybe they're revamping, maybe they'll come back under a new banner, a new name. Who knows. I feel like the talent there will shine and get work, and I think everybody's going to be okay. So well, who wants to get in on the library with me? Huh? Anybody? Are you going to buy it? Let's buy it? Come on, let's get a team. Can we get like a team of investors here? Yeah? Okay, well I'll all my twitch money and okay, so hey,
Chad Ryans, thank you. I would. I would also like to apologize for my echo today. As you may know from following the show, like everybody does. I've recently moved over the last few weeks, and now I'm in this cavernous basement that has nothing in it besides my desk and a couch. Yea, my wall unit is over here, but it's empty, way see empty? Yes, so my stuff's not even out yet. So that's why I'm echoey. I'm all plugged in, I checked, I'm all good. It's just
that there's nothing in here, and it's very echoe and large. Well, next week, make it better, I will. I'm so sorry. I'm but if I talk with my mask on, it's a little better, right, a little bit. No, are you guys trigger treating this Sunday? Yes, of course, okay, we're not. Absolutely. I know this new neighborhood we're in is apparently like off then chains. Yeah. Really see, I love that we don't have any around here. I hate it. It's it's old. I think I live in Florida's where are you going
to die? Everybody's old here. There's no kids, it's just us. You know, my kids don't even want to get dressed. They don't want to trick or treat, which I'm I'm fine with. So you know, we didn't trick or treat last year because of the pandemic, and this year they're like, no, we're good. So we're going to go out to eat and come home and watch We always watch the Grape Pumpkin, very nice because we love it. You know, eat a couple of treats and go to bed night. Now, what
would you do if the old people started trick or treating? Well, you know, it's funny because we do leave the candy out. I used to answer the door, which is a pain in the ass. Every time I would sit thing dong and it's like Jesus, I gotta get up again. So I was like, screw this, I'm just gonna leave this big bowl of candy and when it goes, it goes. You get the big chewches that come. And they used to knock on the door. Oh, I'm tricker, trading for
my brother too. He's sick out, so I need more candy. Then the adults would come trick or treating. Oh, my grandchildren, And I'm like, your grandchildren, are you kidding me? Right now? They're like older than me with the bags. I'm like, you need to get out of my face. So that annoys me. So I just put it out there. I don't have to deal with them. They can take what
they want and if it's gone, it's gone. You snooze, you'll lose right, k at a thing I want geriatric people knocking on your door, being like trick or treat makes the worst. First of all, I think I think it's a ridiculous holiday. I always have, I always will. Can't stand it, and you know, but I did it for my kids and we would walk around and we were trick or treating. They liked it in the beginning. Now they're older, they're not down with it. So I'm
just like, thank the Lord. So I did decorate my houses decorated. There will be candy, but we will not be or treating. Avenge, average frustrated gamer dude. The pandemic trick or treating. We tried it last year. We're in more of a liberal area, but there's still plenty of folks who insisted that we come directly to them. Some gave out skittles with Trump f you're feeling stickers to kids? Really, Wow, that's fantastic. Yeah, I just begging for candy door to
door with strangers. It's just like, come on, I hate it. I just don't like it's cute to get dressed up. But I just young Shire is same. I just can't get behind it. But you know, I do what I can, and I did this for you guys because it's Halloween room. I just hate it. Two years ago, you were like a vampyrus, right, you had like, yeah, he was some sort of vampires. I don't know if you had the teeth but I think you did have the teeth. That was two years ago. What I did. We had Kevin
thorn On with us two years ago? Right was that last year? I can't remember. Then you were the old Lady. I was the old Lady. The Old Lady costume was the best thing I've ever done. It showcased my ability with makeup. I looked freaking ninety five years old. Did do you have a still of that? I wish I could try to find one really quick. It was, Oh my god, that was the best thing I ever did. It blew this away. But today was just like because we weren't going to do today, and then we were like, oh,
let's just do something. So I threw together the zombie real quick. Mike Durban, what exclusive white micro Brawler? What are you talking about? Did they do a variant micro Brawler? No? Did we discuss that possibly? Oh yes, with Brian Myers. Didn't he say side Mike? He said, get get that? Ye did? He was supposed to do all the leg work. Yeah, I know, he's just he's too busy with his life.
Excuse me. Oh, speaking of which, did you see our buddy Sam turned on Brian by eltimating him from the Battle Royal I'd bound for I said it was common. If Sam needs any help, he needs to call me. I will be there for you, Sam, for sure. But yeah, that's it. It's it's quicker than I thought. I thought they would drag it out a little more. But hey, you know it's coming. Brian Meyer said, you should get
the exclusive me to sell. Yes, I know, Mike and Brian Myers was also supposed to talk to pwt's you're supposed to do everything he did. I actually said that Sam. I actually talked to Ryan this week. I got my hands on a couple of micro brawlers, the red ones. Oh, so I'm trying to trying to think what I'm going to do with these beauties because we're the last ones. There's no more left the chest. The chests might have
to buy one for the IB exclusives inventory. I don't know, I said Ida, I said, by no, no, I have ideas for these. Oh, I have some some good ones. So we'll see. But no, no, Mike, no, no plans to make the white one yet. So we'll see what happens. But what else is going on? So you have the big holiday weekend coming up? Big holiday weekend. Yeah, and great raining cats and freaking dogs. Today it's raining. I guess there's a nor'easter that's kind of sweeping through the US.
But it's raining on my parade because we have our last fall ball game tomorrow and I need to get this game in because I can't make it up any other week at least for the next two weeks.

All I know is if if you buy your tickets on the site the more days you go, the less the ticket gets, you know what I mean, Like the one hundred and sixty whatever you said it was, it gets cheaper the more because you know, we do nine days at the parks, so it it kind of gets. It's still freaking expensive. I mean, it's going to be even more. I think last year, what did we pay for tickets? Was it twenty seven hundred dollars or something? Wow, something
like that. I can't even remember what it was. And are those car copying because that's an extra sixty dollars. It's not you know, you're you're paying an arm and a leg as it is, and then they're gonna do this.
It's ridiculous and you would think, I don't know what they're trying to make up for that pandemic money that they lost, but you would think that they would keep them at a reasonable price so people would come back, because the creats have been low except for this time of the year with all the holiday stuff going on. Point but it's an arm and a leg. It really
is expensive. And you know what sucks about it too, the fact that's the anniversary and now people are going to question going It's going to be the anniversary for the next eighteen months, right, but the prices can only presumably go up in the eighteen months too, So it's like they couldn't have just held off till after the anniversary for the price increase. Oh no, because they know people want to be there for the fiftieth. It is a money grab and it's it's it's out of control.
But people who are addicted, like my family, we pay, you know, but this lightningling bullshit. I'm not doing it. I'm not I refuse I you know, I watch YouTube videos of these Disney bloggers right right, each blogger has done a day with the Genie and without the Genie, and they show you, like the differences and the wait times and all this stuff. It's really not horrible. Now, it might be the days that they picked to go that are a little lighter than other days. It depends
on when you're down there. We go off season, so the crowds are there, but they're not overly packed, you know what I mean. So I cannot justify for one ride having to pay eleven dollars for a family of four, that's forty four dollars just for one ride. That's so stupid. Just go to the Muppets, go sit in the Muppets theater if you want. It's a lot. It's just a lot. I can't. I just look at what Mike Durban said. He used to have a premium Disneyland annual pass. It
was like eight hundred dollars for the entire year. And that's a premium, crazy premium past eight hundred dollars for the year, eight for like three days. Yeah exactly. I mean if we ever moved there were we would get annual passes for sure. But and there's different tiers that you can get. You know, some are more reasonable than
the others. But it's just when you when this is your trip and this is what you do every single year, it becomes a nuisance when they keep adding and every year it's just more expensive and more And we go for two weeks. It's not like we go for four days. We go for freaking two weeks. That's expensive, ridiculous, and they want to add all this stuff. So Disney, I am, I am, I am putting my foot down and I'm saying no, not doing it. Kiss my ass. That's right,
I'll be there. I'll be there next year, right, Yeah, I mean, come on, give it? How about like a break for like the summer? Did you go back to this this pricing for the summer instead of the raise pricing ridiculous? I was trying to think about what else really was going on. I had to rip my tag off out of my little armbands here because it was digging into my wrists. Wwe look at that always. I'm a brand loyalist. What a mark? He bought a wrestling
exactly thanks a lot. It was either the Fiend, Roman Reigns or John Cena, And I figured she didn't want to sit here and look at well, I wouldn't see you. That's true. Hang on, how's that for great? Yeah? Do you think the Fiend's going to get that money that royalty from what he bought? Since he's not there anymore, you would think he'd have to get a quarterly check. Now at this point, did you see the stories about him that had come out, whether it was true or not.
They were saying that he might have been hard to deal with, and you know, yeah, there's reasons why. I don't know. I just let these guys go off into the sunset, let them move on with their careers and do cool things in other places I know, And like the convention scene is just like ridiculously hoppin', you know, like all these great talents out there. You go to a convention now, it's like damn. Like yeah, Rhode Island Comic Con. Who was at bo Dallis, his brother was
at it to resate, Yes he was, Yep, I saw that. Yep, he's gonna be with my my good friends that are bringing in a lot of a lot of talent to rescate. Now. I was planning on going. It doesn't look like I'm going to be going now to help them out yet. Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it, uh because I have another signing that popped up the following weekend that I have to concentrate on. But they have they're bringing in a lot of great talent to restlicate as well.
And if you're in the surrounding areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, make the drive to reslicate if you can't. It is such a great show. Ye And oh my gosh, there's not I just the the esthetics, the people that work there, it's just it's a it's a perfect run convention. Yeah, Tracy Myers, he's great. And I was talking to Shane this week and he's like, yeah, he goes, uh, we'll be sitting next to each other.
I said, will we, Shane, because every time we try to coordinate, he is on the opposite end of the world and it never happens. And I was like, well, you can work on that, but I don't think it's going to happen. I really don't. So if you want dual photos with Shane and I, I don't know. I don't know how close he's going to be to me, but hopefully ally cash only come on, if I walk to the bathroom, I might be able to sneak a pick in for you because maybe that's where he'll be.
But they never put us together half the time, and it's so frustrating. And and then I get a call from Moose uh, wanting to book me for one of the events next year, but we're going to be in Disney World. And I told my husband, I said, well, we haven't booked it yet. He said yes, but it's it's all it's on paper. When we're going, we can't change it. I was like, okay, I would be the exact same way. That is a calendar like a week like no, I already told the people at work and
this is what we're doing and blah blah blah. And I was like, well, that's just great. So now that's out. So I said, okay, are you are you doing a dual photo op with Tammy? Yes, yes, we will have dual photo ops. I believe there's also an eight x ten with both of us on it, so you can get a dual signature, brilliant. So the law firm of Stephen P. Knew is handling all that for us. So yeah,
that's going to be a good time. And I've never signed with Tammy before, so this is your first opportunity to get both her and I together and it should be a good time. I'm looking forward to it. Both of you very cool signatures, so that'll be perfect on one photo because you guys have that nice i'd like to lady script. You guys have perfect lady handwriting. You can read what we write. Yes. The best part of it you can see our names and read them. So
I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be a fun time. I have an E C. W piece. You know you have signed this before. I have to look at it and focus because I'm like, who is this one? I'm telling you, who's this guy right here? Some of them, you know, you just don't know who they are. I'm a professional, and I can't figure that out. I'm a professional over there. Hey, look, I got I have a Freddy's shirt on too Elm Street. I thought it was going to be the one that had the stripes with
the fringe. I thought you were going to go all out this year, kid. Legit just a freddy shirt, that's it. I was trying to get a Monster Squad shirt, but the shipping wouldn't have made it, you know, in time. That's yes, and my mail has technically not arrived here yet. Funny funny story. So Liz goes to change the the the address right on the online portal for the USPS.
Whatever she clicked was like a third party thing and it charged us a ridiculous amount of money and I had to cancel it, and that kind of put our mail transfer in flux. But it's a good thing. I know people in the post office and they said they fixed it. But I've been in this house for a week. I've gotten two Amazon packages and nothing else. But it's very nice to not get those bills, you know, and they're gonna they're gonna come in one lump, sum them
all off at once. It was nice. It was nice to buy the house and feel good for about two days before you know, they go and this is what you owe us. Did you get all the odd smells out of the house. Yes, except for one thing. There's these mats you know, you know, like grippers to the stairs, you know, like the little carpeting pieces, so they're like glued with some sticky residue. But a smell like dog so bad. So we use them to move in so you know, we didn't have to like so we could
step on them and bring the boxes in. But every time you walk down the steps of the basement, you just get that wafted up of the dog. Well, we got to rip them out and then clean the steps again. But when we had the cleaners come in the day after we officially became the owners, I've never looked at a sink and literally hear it going. It was so shiny. Yeah, oh my, it was beautiful. I wish it could be like that every day of the week, right now. Yeah,
we quick once it's lived in, you know. But I'm glad you're in there and settled and you love it, which is great, love it. Send you some pictures. Yes, yes, beautiful, thank you, thank you very much. Just we will eliminate the echo going forward because it's killing me so annoying. Would you like to discuss that's what we've got going on Patriot this week? Yeah? Sure? Is there anything else for you to do that? Oh? I was just going to say, I've been picking out my homes in Florida
and oh I'm so ready to uh to purchase. They're exquisite and way out of my price league. But you know, it's it's okay to dream. So that's why I'm selling my t shirts at Wressellmerk Central and proceeds go to the new home in Florida. So I actually sold one this week, and I was the worlled I saw somebody said to put towards your home in Florida. Yes, thank you for purchasing. I think these these shirts are really
nice shirts. I just don't know why they're not. They're not taking off a lot of people still say, well do they ship to the US, And by golly, they do. So just take a look at the navigation system and change it to US, and you can get yourself a shirt and get me to Florida. I want to go to Florida, to Florida so she doesn't have so she can pay the in state price for Disney World tickets instead of out of state. I want to get my annual pass in my discount. So one of the cool
things I've seen with houses in Florida is the pool feature. Right, You've seen some really nice fancy pools. Would you want an indoor pool or an outdoor pool? You mean like the screened in, like the screened in one or one on the outside. A lot of places have the screened in. I prefer no screening. I like it just open sky, you know. But I mean, beggars can't be choosers. If
I could get my ass down there, i'd take anything. Well, you know, I would like the screen then, but if I have to settle for the one outside, I will. I guess I like the outdoor without the uh, screened in porches. But a lot of them, they say because of the bugs. Yeah, a lot of them. Oh you get far to those big ass weird like bugs. You've never seen before you got to get it. You know what's funny, You don't really see bugs that did. Oh that's because they knew com mus be some invisible ray.
There was one year we always said, oh, there's no bugs at Disney. One year I wore a sun dress right short. One we were near the bakery when on Main Street, you know the bakery. You were watching one of the cavalcades or the parades was going by, and I got big near my vagina. Oh Jesus, by a bug that flew up my dress. See now there were these little black I've never seen them down there before, these little black bugs. They were biting. But it was only around where the bakery was. And then once we
walked further they were gone. And I said, what the hell was that? I just attacked my vagina? Bug? Did you think for a second maybe you were getting like a little fancy feeling and the happiest place on earth? Like literally I stopped for a second and I said, oh, what was that? But it wasn't exactly on my vaginant, It was near my vagina. It was on like my
my thigh area. But there were these little tiny bugs and they were black, like dark black and I had never seen them down there before and it was really really bizarre. But when you passed main Street they were gone, so I was like, well, they just hang around the bakery because they know there's baked goods here, Like, what's going on? I know what they're called, vagina bug, pussy magnets. Hi. Mine is quite nice, but I don't like to get bit down there. Thank you. Yes, I don't know. It was.
It was really really weird and I never want to feel that again because it hurt, you know. I feel terrible for you. I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes, real quick, before you get into it. We have a couple people, azure, how do you say that? As arex Chaos two. I'm butchering that Jose Rizalista and Daniel Banner cosplay. Hello. Hello, those are names I don't think i've seen before. So
welcome in. I'm glad you're here. How about this, I'll do the Patriot unplugs and if anybody has a couple questions, we could get some questions in here before we say goodbye, but let me do the Patreon plugs. Start plugging questions. People, if you want to ask Francine anything that's out there,
almost anything, almost anything, as we like to say. All right, so this week on Patreon, we're going to go back to what we did a few weeks ago where we called it one or two and played a clip for Francine and she had to decipher what she heard if the first thing she heard was bad or the second one. Well, this one, we switched it up. We're doing what did you hear? Because we give her a list of things on the screen and she has to decipher what the chant is by listening. But it wasn't as easy as
you might think, right, it was. It's hard, it's crazy, it was very hard. Okay. Then we are going to in the vein of Halloween, and in the sake of the holiday, we are going to name the slasher. Yeah, okay, from a person who doesn't watch slasher movies, so we'll see him. We give clues, we have questions, she gives answers,
come check out what she has to say. And then finally, this is a very fun watch along Steve Corino and Wild Bilvis Wesley versus Francine and Tommy Dreamer who is on crutches and limping at the beginning, but then walked away. He went. At the beginning, he was limping and he went to grab a crunch, but then he walked away perfectly at the end. But come watch it with us. It's great. If you're a fan of the Queen of Extreme in action, this is perfect. And he didn't do
anything to help me. Really, it was all me, no dreamer. Once again, it was all me but the beauty of Steve Corino in his ECW hey day on display in this one. Great. I loved, loved, loved working with Steve Creno. I can't say that enough. I can't say it enough. He was great. Okay, well, I mean, obviously they really have a lot of questions that they want to ask right now. Uh, Michigan Chris asked if they had a Husky Harris costume. That's bray Wyatt's original name. No, Husky
Harris was bray Wyatt's original character. No, w W really, he at first he was something. Oh gosh, he was so bo Dallas and uh uh and Bray were the Rotunda brothers Bow Rotunda and I forget what they called Bray And when he was brought up to w w's NXT competition show at the time, he was Husky Harris. Okay, so they were a tag team in NXT. Yes, the brothers were Okay, Nexus he was a member of the Nexus theme. That's correct. Yes, the new Nexus, the new Nexus,
oh not the old. He was brought in, I believe, the tail end of the original Nexus with Wade Barrett and then when they switched it over to cmpunk for whatever reason, I believe he was there as well. Yeah. See, I don't know any of this. Oh God, is there blood in my Oh, blood's going right in my Look at this. Oh that's hardcore. She's hardcore. That's what I need. Is this what you look like after a night in the ring? Is this is exactly what it was? What
it's come to in my life? Okay? Well I didn't watch, and I've never watched NXT. I think I made it, may have seen one or two episodes, but I'm quick quick history. NXT originally replaced w w's E's e c W on Sci Fi and it was a reality competition where the rookies were paired with pros and each week they would have matches and competitions to fill the hour of TV. They were mentored by the roster correct okay,
and included that was good. It was okay. Well, I mean the NEXTUS storyline where the rookies of NXT revolted against the pros and took over WW was phenomenal, probably the last like killer storyline that they they've done. But there were some politics at the time, as there tends to be in the wrestling world, and whereas it could have gone on and been very, very good and profitable. A man who you can't see put the kaibosh on a big, big, big victory for them at SummerSlam in
twenty ten. Hard to believe it's eleven years ago. I feel like it was yesterday. But it was. Uh, the Nexus was good. It was good. Little storyline, good little storyline. H Daniel, Yes, I did talk to you. Daniel's training, Oh okay, the jingering training is going well, he's running the ropes. It's oh easier than you thought. But bumps hurt like hell. Well yes they do, yes, they do. And I hate it running the ropes. I thought that hurt like hell and it would bruise, bruise me to
the end. I was always purple right here, right long the reb cage. I hate the ropes, not a fan, but continued success to you, Daniel. Hopefully the bumps get easier for you. They won't. But so yeah, words of encouragement like you gave to the folks of r H earlier in the hour. You'll be okay, guys, it's it's just a major step back, but you will be okay. We all survive. Life goes on. You will find oh blood o bla. Well, you say, when what's that expression?
When when a door closes, God opens a window and you want to jump out the window. But don't be okay, they say he opens another door? Why would why would you a window? Well, I've heard. You know, one door closes, the other one opens opens. You know this chapter is over, move on to the next chapter. You know your story's unwritten,
it's still revolve or evolving, whatever it is. I'm sure there's there's a lot of options right now, and I'm I'm sure it's probably tough, especially this weekend, if they were to have any Are they closing out their year of shows? I think the last show is in December, so I don't know if that's the next show. I don't know if they're running until December, but I know there's a show in December. I don't know if it's like a pay per view or whatever, but I don't know. Well,
we hope nothing but the best for them. Yeah, I wish there's so much talent there. Matt Tavin, who was on with those a few months ago, great talent. He'll get picked up. He'll get picked up. He's a great talent. He's got a lot to offer, and a lot of them, do you know, some of them are very loyal to the company, So this is their time to go off and see things going on. Jay Lethal, who's been with them forever, he took a little bit time, went to TNA. I remember Jay Lethal as a rookie with his family
in the stands cheering him on. I mean, like he's an r oh you know original. Now he can maybe shine someplace else, Yeah, if he wants to. It's scary, you know, it's it's scary because you think you're you're ground it and your set and that's your home, and then you no longer have it. So I totally understand and I feel for them, But get out there and
work as much as you can. That's right, that's scary. Well, I'm gonna go in for the scarier with the down or up that really hurts you, that really really hurts I did not shave today, so I apologize. I'm not very well maintained a mess. You know, God, I might fiend our bands too, you know. Yeah, okay, simply too deep? Hello, Queen of extreme in the chat and nice makeup? Well, thank you, thank you everyone. I tried to Uh, I tried to look good today and this guy over here
just put a mask on his face? Is it so simply too deep? Is it? Is it like? Like? Is that the like a simp of what is it? Blee? Like? What is that supposed to be? But I gotta away before I go blind? Yeah, don't go blind. We'll get into our wrap up here patreon dot com slash fran Scene podcast if you want to check out all those episodes. We got four new ones coming this week. Uh, some great episodes over the last couple that will make you laugh, make you think, and entertain the shit out of you.
