Speaker 1

Okay, so we are here to talk about every Plate now. Every plate is America's best value meal kit. While most meal kits come with a premium price tag, every plate offers delicious dinners that won't break the bank. Every plate has quality ingredients. They come carefully packed and pre portioned, helping you save money and reduce food waste, like that bag of mixed screens you throw out almost every week.

I know I do. As a result, every plate is twenty five percent cheaper than grocery shopping, making it the easiest way to eat a quarter. And think of it this way, one meal from every plate is about the same price as one cup of coffee, and probably cheaper than that pumpkin pie latte or whatever it is you like. I eat compe spice lots. Anyway, it's cheaper than that, including my favorite, the griddled onion burgers with creamy dijon,

aoli and frites. It's an easy to serve, thirty five minute meal, and I can tell you I cooked it on my grill and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had in my entire life. Get started with every plate for just a dollar seventy nine per meal. By going to every plate dot com and entering the code eyes up here one seventy nine. That's eyes up here one seventy nine. There are a lot of meal kits out there, but none of them are as good as every plate and definitely not as low as a

dollar seventy nine. So please go to every plate dot com and enter the code eyes up here one seventy nine, that's eyes up here one seven nine, and tell them that Francine from eyes up here sentia, well come back, well, come back, well, come back. All right, it's eyes up here. If you do know by now, my name is Chad. I'll cut the whole big shebang intro. It's the first time I'm sitting down with the point of extreme Francine. And what feels like age is it's only like a

week and a half, but yeah, a long time. So welcome back, partner, Good to see you, Thanks, nice to see you. It does feel like it's been but yeah, it hasn't been that long. It hasn't, but it has. It's weird like because I think because we have that week that we record, so it like it feels longer and and things happened in between. But yeah, you've bet that built it's and it's also the build of that build up for Wrestle com was weeks and weeks and

weeks weeks and now it's over. It's like I told you, the anxiety is there for like months and then it's over and then you're like I can breathe again, you know what I mean. So it was a long weekend, but it went quickly, if if that makes any sense. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I got. It was a long flight. It was like over a three hour flight, three hours and fifteen minutes or something. And I took my bestie Betty with me. Thank god she's She was

wonderful all weekend helping me out. But it was funny because when we got to baggage, I had to check one bag because it was oversized, and I just have to put my head up like this right across from me, Whoo, it's Rick Flair. I said, oh look, it's Rick Flair. And behind him was like Beefcake and Jimmy Hart, but they were like fumbling with their bags and like Rick was trying to get his bags off the conveyor belt. But there was a lovely blonde I don't know, I

guess it's his new girlfriend. Kind of looked younger than Charlotte, his daughter, but she was there helping him get his stuff off the off the conveyor belt, and I almost let out a woo. I didn't, but I almost did. Yeah, he's been a talk of the weekend. I will say, well, we can get to that. Yes, yes, yeah, but it was it was great. You know, we got to the room in plenty of time. I was able to get ready and head down there and got to see a lot of my friends. You know, some people I hadn't

seen him forever. Others, you know, I see more than more than usual. But it was really great, and you know, Tammy unfortunately did not make the trip. So right away I saw Moose and I said, Hey, what's going on? And he says, can Shane sit with you? I said, I happen to have an open seat. So we ended up sitting together for the whole three days, which was nice because we were able to do our combo pictures. Right.

That's perfect because you were saying he was supposed to be like a ways away from We're like two miles over. And they apologized like as soon as I got there, the one girl. I think her name, what was her name, Ashley, I think something like that, she says. I apologize. We tried to get you guys together. I was like, if I come next year, as soon as I sign up, I'm telling you, put Shane next to me, because people want us, right, that's my partner. People want us together.

And I never understand why we're apart all the time. I said, unless Shane tell them, don't put me with that bitch. He said no, and he grabbed the stuff right away, and he came and he sat with me, and it was nice. We were right next to the Killer Bees, right jumping Jim Brian b Brian Blair, the nicest man you'll ever meet in your life. Jim was very talkative, but I appreciated him. They're adorable. They were so so sweet. Yeah, yeah, and it was it was just it was a good weekend. Busy, but not as

busy as past years, okay. And I don't know if that had anything to do with they were saying there was way more talent than usual there. I don't know if it had to do with the coronavirus, but you know, there there were a lot of people there. There were a lot of people there, but I just everybody was saying they thought it was busier past years. So hopefully I can get to California next year and it'll be

back to normal, like completely back to normal. But there was so many talents that were on WrestleMania last year that were at Wrestle Khan. You know, I saw the picture of Bray Wyatt and it's like Gray Wyatt was in this marquee match at WrestleMania last year, and he was at Wrestle Kan And that's not a knock. I'm not saying that's bad thing, but what that did was that probably led to why there was an influx of

so much talent, because so much talent has been let go. Yeah, they said, like AEW wasn't supposed to come, like Tony Khan. The rumor was Tony Khan did not want AW anywhere in the WrestleMania vicinity, too close to WWE. But when Ring of Honor signed on to do a show, that changed everything. Okay, so then AW talent was at it.

That's what I was told. So I'm thinking maybe next year though, well, if you know, if if AAW is still a thing, which I think it will be they might not be allowed to do Wressel Khan, right, So I don't know. I mean there's certain things were flying buzzing through the air. Who's doing this, who's saying what? All I know is I showed up all three days and signed and I had a blast. It was great. It's a good time. Yeah, you guys were very glammed

up from what the picture, very shiny. Shane was the hilarious. He's like, I didn't bring enough shirts, so I wore his suitcase was this big, I said, I said out at hell. I had two suitcases. One was huge. He had a sweatshirt on most of the time with a sweatpant. You know, guys can get away with that. I mean I I had some really lovely dresses that I showcased and I want to wear again somewhere else because they're they're just too nice to be seen. They were really

very sparkly, very shiny. You looked to be glistening in the photo lens. Well, thank you, very sophisticated. By day three, I was spent. We all are like the last day of the COT. And it's so funny because you know Rodney, he is mouses buddy, right, he says. I think this was on day two. He goes, hey, Francine, you know what I recognized about you by day three? You always

have pants on it. I was like, that's easy to get to the airport with because you know, we were done by one and I had a four o'clock flight, so I was planning on just wearing those pants to like run over, to put a shirt over, and just run to the airport. But he's right, by day three, I'm I always you looked more relaxed on day three, but it looked like it was but it was like another like dimension of your character. It was a different look. It was a kind of yeah, yeah, that's right about

the mask. I love getting glammed up, though, it's just a it's a good time. I was just I said it before. I was looking at the pictures though, And I have to start smiling. I'm so self conscious of these stupid braces, and I think I looked at the doork when I smile, but then I look like a bitch when I don't smile. I'm trying to do a smirk and I just mean to tell and I don't mean it, and I'm just trying to cover up these

stupid braces. But daddy, I want to meet Francine, but she looks really mean because she no. It was just I don't know, I just feel really self conscious. Maybe by next year they'll be off, maybe, I hope so. But such a good time. We met so many nice people. So if you were there, thank you for coming to the table and chatting with Shane and I. Lots of babies got to got to I didn't hold any of them, but I got to interact with them, and one was blowing me kisses and my heart bursting down my chest.

So cute. Yeah, it was great. We met these guys, these awesome guys from Jersey, New York area. They do stem cell. Oh interesting, so your girl here might be getting some stem cell. I would love to hear the result. Well that extra listen. I said, if I do this, can I vlog it? And they said absolutely, and they were huge ECW fans and very very intrigued by it. I have all the brochures. We're gonna do a little look see and hopefully I can get some work done

because that would be a blessing, I'm telling you. But yeah, we met some great people. So it was a It was a fun weekend. The only the only setback was I didn't eat much when I know, I know, we didn't eat very much. But I had my first poke cabowl and I really that right, very healthy? Uh you add like protein and I had some rice and some shrimp and chicken and you add vegetables to it and a sauce. Delicious. We had that on the on our bed. Oh okay, we ate him dead and it was really

really good. That was probably the only good meal that I had when I was there. We had taco bell one night, and oh that's that sounds to me like a gourmet right there. We'll talk about that. I love this picture. I saw this this morning. You shared this one. This was it? I love where is it there? It is? That's the one I looked so pissed off in. But they were the nicest couple. I love this one because nineteen ninety eight to twenty twenty two, he was He told me the whole stories like I met you in

nineteen ninety eight. He told me the show. I don't remember the show, but I remember speaking to them. They were lovely and such nice memories that they shared with us. About the company. He got his wife into it. She wasn't into it, but then when they started dating and stuff, he introduced her to ECW. Now she loves it and they were great. We talked to them for about ten fifteen minutes. They were lovely. Everybody was great. I didn't come across any fans that were just like, you need

to go. You know, everybody was awesome. Did you need to go? I like that. Yeah. I would like to point out that the franchise is wearing a very nice kiss T shirt. His T shirt with some sweatpants. Somebody here might have seen it and thought, man, that looked great on the on the old franchise. But yes, very very dapper. Shane Douglas was looking. But him and I got to share one meal the whole time because you know, I was just too tired to hang out with them.

But at the airport we broke bread. So that was nice, very nice. Over what a hot dog and a coach. We actually went to TGI Fridays. We got there two hours early. It was it was so crazy. You think you're gonna like walk into the jingle and I guess everybody was staying for WrestleMania. There was no one in the airport, so TSA was just like you just walked through a couple of things. There was no one in front of us. We got through within five minutes, and we had all this time to kill them in the

first restaurant we saw was TGI Fridays. I said, let's go get some dude and and hang out. And we did and it was nice, and Virgil was on his flight, so he tended to stay at my gate. That's great, Yeah, that's I mean. And I was I was talking to Betty a little bit because I was asking her to do me a favor while you guys were out there, and she just said, how busy you guys were. Let me vouch for everything she told you. I believe, I believe walked with her and we couldn't find them anywhere.

That's okay, No, down, I was like, where, what the hell? It was a spur of the moment thing when I thought of it, and I didn't know. I wasn't gonna bother you, obviously, so I was like, let me poke Betty and she's like, she's like, you know, we had no time to walk around them, and we did. She goes Saturday, we walked around everywhere. Yeah. Well, well the one time we went to the bathroom and I said, well, this is the perfect time to do it because we had to go out of our room to head down

the hall to the bathroom. So we were poking our heads you know in certain rooms the king. Yeah, I even asked talent. I was like, did anyone see Jerry Lawler? And they're like no. I was like, okay, thank you. Now the next time you see Lawler, he's gonna be like I heard you were looking for No. No. But

it was it was fun. I got, like I said, too much talent to name, but I got to I met a lot of new talent that I didn't know, and I got to see a lot of people that I did know, which was I blogged a little bit, didn't get to blog a whole lot. I mean I got a little bit of footage. So whatever I got is what we're gonna post. We'll get yeah, yeah, we'll get I didn't even not even a dropbox yet. Kids, That's all good. It will be. We'll talk about more of that now. There was a lot of just a

lot of stuff going on, you know that weekend in Texas. Uh, what are some of the stories you heard murmured about? Nothing? You know, I'm not talking about like sallacious. Just what did you hear the fans talking about as related to the weekend and wrestling. We we were doing survey as they came up to the table, and I always say, are you here for Mania? And it was fifty to fifty. A lot of people said, nope, we just came to wrestle Colin, We're skipping Mania this year. Now. It was packed.

I heard plus seventy thousand plus people. Yeah, that's nothing to be a shade of. That's huge house. But a lot of people did say they were skipping many and they were just doing wrestle con. Okay, well, you know, but did you get to see any of WrestleMania. I saw? What did I see? I saw the Jackass match? Okay, I saw that too, which was ridiculous. Like I thought, it was very entertaining and I'm not a big Jackass fan, and I liked it. Yeah, well, I just watched the

last movie, so that giant hand was in the last movie. Okay, it's funny. I saw that. I saw Cody's entrance, which was amazing. He got a huge pop well he hurt. Yeah, he looked great trying to I think. Oh, and I saw the stunner that mister McMahon took. That was not good. I know. I didn't see that until afterwards. Yeah, it was. It was I don't know what happened there. It was not good. I think a seventy seven year old man fell. I said, do you think Vince is going to fire

himself after that box? I don't know about that. I wonder if he comes up with like an excuse like, oh, well, you know, yeah, Steve, you know went too far. Well you can see, you know, Steve Austin's laughing after as you're not. I mean it was, but again it's a

seventy something year old guy. I lost his footing anticipating one thing, and it was a weird bump, like he took it very awkwardly, and I just I watched it like three times because I was like, I need to see but he just kind of sat down or something. It was weird. It was very weird. But that's all I saw. I didn't really watch any any of the the matches. I saw the the Austin Kevin Owens match. I watched that. I heard that was really good. It was very entertaining. I'm not a big Owens fan, but

it was very entertaining. You got the old Austin sick and he took so many more bumps than I thought he was going today. Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't just a show up, you know, kick his ass and leave. He was getting suplex on the outside all on the stage. It was very hard. Were they pushing this as his retirement match? Like? Is it the last match? All right?

So this is what happened. So it was a KO Show sit down segment and the crowd was just going nuts during the sit down part and Austin wasn't talking, and Owens is like, I'm just gonna get to the chase side. I'm not here to interview you. I'm here to beat you. I want to match. Ah yeah. And then he gave me. He said, you know, Austin did, if you want to see me, you know, open up a can of whoop bass on Kevin Owens, give me a hell yeah, hell yeah, he goes, get me a referee.

So it started there and it went for a good, you know, ten to fifteen minutes of brawling all around the arena and back to the ring, you know, stunner one, two, three, and it was a it was a good and this is it. That's it for Austin his swan song. But then he comes back that next night and does the thing in the McAfee match. So yeah, okay, what else I say? I saw Roman in Brock. I thought that was excellent, just two monsters killing each other and hitting

as hard as they can. Now he went over Roman Roman and it's Paul's with Roman reigns not Broc. Yes, he's with Roman. Just again, very well done. You know it was. It was what you wanted in a WrestleMania main event. Yeah, I think if I saw anything else, I saw the entrance but didn't watch the match Logan Paul, but I saw his highlights. He did great. I did see that one. I forgot about that. My my husband said you got to watch this, and I did. That kid is money, he is, mark my words. They need

to offer him a contract. He was excellent. From what I understand. I can believe I forgot I watched that one. Uh from what I understand, he's taking it very seriously and it shows he did phenomenal. Yeah, he really did. And you know him and his brother are just they're powerhouses. They're millionaires, and they're young, and I don't think he needs this, but I think he's just he's a fan and he got a little taste of it. I think he's going to be back for more. They shun him, Yeah,

they should sign him. He was phenomenal when he did when he jumped and like his legs were almost in a split position. I was like, whoa at the athlete. Yeah, very very talented. I'm trying to see. Have you seen the Bianca bel Air eye pick? Yes? I did. Now. I heard that match was one of the best matches on the card. I didn't see it, but I did see her eye and I said, good lord, I wonder how that happened. Yeah, I didn't see it. I didn't watch that match. So that's her. There's her eye. Wow,

that's a shiner right there. That's that's a badge of honor for her. Look she's putting up all these selfies. Check out my eye. If I had social media back in the day when I broke my nose, I would add forty pictures of my nose up there. You know, this is what they do these days. But dam she must have I don't know what hit her. So apparently she was way out of place when whatever move was supposed to happen happened, and she got kicked right in the face. Oh it was a kick ouse, the rogue kick,

but she was way out of position. Okay, well I heard that match was excellent. Yeah, maybe I'll go back and watch some stuff. But now I alluded to him a a few minutes ago. What about Rick Flair? What what have you heard about the old nature boy? This? I mean, he is the talk right now? Okay, So Alegen, now that you know, I hate spreading rumors. I hate bringing up false narratives. I don't know what was true what was not true. I told you I saw him at the airport. He looked fine to me. Okay, this

was Thursday. So Thursday was from five to nine. Now, I don't know what room Flair was in. I I don't he I don't think he was in our room. But I didn't hear anything about him on Thursday. Friday was an early day. It was a nine o'clock start, right. The rumor was he missed he was missing session two because he was drinking. Yeah. Now, look, I don't know if he was drunk or not. I don't know what

the deal was, and that's his private business. But that was floating around because people were asking, like, where's rick Claire? I want to get my picture with Claire. He was there because there's a there's a video of him and oh god, who was it Ricky Morton? Ricky Morton locking up and doing a dance in the there it is. Yes, So I don't know what time this was. You know, this looks fun but uh that that's what people were saying. I don't know, I don't know. He's apparently, you know,

way into party modes. So that here's that. This is what was circulating this weekend. Oh I didn't see this one. Yes, we're at a bar. It's a TikTok loop. That's the girl I saw at the airport. Doesn't ask you. It might be I don't know. She's a little she's pretty blonde. I don't know. Look she's shaking her head like with the freak. Look at her. Wait, do it one more time? Watch her face ready? Uh? Uh Now he's loving life

right now? Yeah, he going into wrestle Khan. I mean he was feuding with his now former uh like Third Podcast post Mark Madden. I saw those those tweets back Mark Madden is saying he's a you know, he's he's heavy drinking and he's alienating people around him and that he's being you know, led down a bad path. And you know, he divorced Wendy or or separated from Wendy. I don't think they were officially married, but Fifi, yeah,

they'really you know, not together anymore. And Madden was just saying that he basically Madden says he's done with wrestling now because of all this, because he just can't handle the bullshit and that there's so much bad stuff Flair's done that he's not saying that he's taking the high road and just going into hiding. He's taking the high rout. But then they got into a little beef and he called him a drunk. That was before the interview that

I heard. That was all that was like early and then the interview I heard he was actually on with Conan and Disco talking all about it. It was interesting. But you know, I know the circles that Flair is starting to kind of hang around, and just on the memory Blia side, I know he's doing his business and you know, that group promotes one thing, and it's the party heavy lifestyle of you know, money, bling booth. Can

I get their number? And broads? Can I Can I be associated with that group because I like, I like money and blink we can get you the blank. We'll hold off on the broads, We'll hang hang on the broads. I don't need the partying. I just need the money. It's one of these guys that like lives the Rick Flair lifestyle and now has Rick Flair like at his disposal. Yeah, so it's it's an interesting move. But from what I've heard, he's just partying his face off. He ain't no spring Chicken.

Yeah right. Concerning I know, you know, I was more concerned about me and my well being that weekend. I wasn't really concerned about Rick Flair. But I was just listening, you know, to what fans were saying and what was floating around. I do have something funny. So somebody's said that Tommy Rich was there, and uh, I haven't seen Tommy since ecw DA's like it's been a really long time. And this is a man that I've worked with. I've

been to his home, you know, broke Brad with. So I walked over to him and I said, hey, Tommy Rich blah blah blah. Right, So he gets up and he goes hey, and he hugs me and I and I look into his eyes and I can tell he doesn't know who the hell I am. And I said, so, I haven't seen you since ec dumb and he's like, yeah, how you been. I go, what's my name? He starts laughing. U go, oh my god. I said, it's Francine. Oh

my god. Do I not look like That's the first time somebody didn't recognize me from our locker room, really the first time. And I was just like, Tommy broke my heart. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how the hell you doing. I'm just like, wow, Yes, he did not know who the hell it was. I don't know if it was age. I don't know if I do I look that much older. I mean, everybody else will say it, I didn't, but Tommy Ridge didn't know who I was, and I was just I cried a little.

I was like, damn, oh, that's so sad. I'm sorry to hear that. Everybody else tells you, you know, you look exactly the same no, He's like, oh, you look great. I was like, thank you, and then I walked away and I was like, oh my god, that's terrible. And I do have one more story if we have time. I'm not going to say the guy's name. I'm not going to say the name because and I know people hate when I do this. I love it because I'll

just ask off the air, right. I'm not going to say his name because that's that that would be embarrassing. But I'm sitting at the table and I'm with a fan and i'm tall sucking, you know, signing an autograph whatever. I see a dude out of the corner of my eye on the edge of our table and he's just standing there and I can see he's waiting for this fan to walk away. So the guy walks away, and I turned to this other gentleman and he goes, how

you doing? And he's like got this swag going on, he's, you know, shaking his head up, and I go, I'm good, how are you? I'm thinking it's another fan. I don't know, do you remember me? Oh boy? That he can vouch for me. Betty was right next to me and I said, I'm sorry, I don't have we met before? Well, now I get the right, right, he's annoyed. He goes and he says his name, but he says it really like arrogant. Right, his first name, he says. I go, no, his last name.

I go, sorry, where did we meet? And he goes, oh, and he tells me do you know my father? His father's in the business. I go, yeah, I know your father. Everybody knows your father. And he goes, then you should know me, and I go, sorry, I don't know who you are. Oh, I got guesses now, so he goes, uh, I go, where did I meet you? And he goes, because I worked for ECW And I go, oh, you did a shot for us? What was it in Philly?

He goes, I worked all over for you guys. Now he's pissed and he's annoyed with me, and he's like he's mad, and he's shaking his head really and I go, I'm so sorry. I go, I don't remember you. I don't remember working with this guy. I don't remember him in her locker room and uh. And he's like, well, you just broke my heart. And I said, I apologize, and I put my hand out and I said, it's nice to see you again, and he's like, uh huh, take care and he walks away. Wow, He's like, Betty goes,

what the she goes? What was that? I don't know. So then Shane, when Shane wasn't there, Shane comes back, so I tell him the name. He goes, Who's that? I go, I don't know, but apparently he worked for us and toured with us for years. I don't know. So Shane, we had to look him up. And even in his bio, it didn't really say anything about an ECW career, like he's a worker and he's done like indie movies. I guess. But he was so offended. I guess, like I wasn't a well I guess I was offended

that Tommy didn't remember me. But Tommy and I were in the same way. Yeah, that's a lot different. Tommy Richard is a lot different. Yeah, Like Tommy Richard was one of the boys. We were always together. This guy I don't remember meeting, and you know, sometimes I have a really bad memory and if I forget it, I apologize. But he was getting like shoot hot at me, and I was He's huffing and puffing and is like, I can't believe you don't know who I am. And I'm

just like I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, sir. All right, I have a follow up. He's holding his phone up and he's showing me pictures that him holding like a belt, like a championship belt. He's like, this is when I was good looking. Do you remember this picture? No? I don't. And then he's like I worked for so and so and I was like, I didn't watch that fed I'm sorry,

I don't know. Like he kept trying to tell me, like convince me he's he's out there, he's a worker, and he was getting hotter and hotter and hotter, and I was just sitting there like, oh my god, this guy's gonna shoot punch me in a second, Like I'm so sorry. God. Here's the question. Was this person there to sign or was this person that I don't know? Okay, all right, Well he popped out of nowhere. I don't think he was on the the actual site. I should

have looked. I should have looked, because there was talent walking like Rod Price wasn't signing. He just came to say hi to everyone. Right, there were there was talent walking around that was just there for, you know, to say hi for the atmosphere. I guess. Oh, man, I see now I found a gallery on Wrestlingfigs dot com

Because there was the next picture dolls. I love them. But now I'm going to go through this whole gallery to see if I figure out who it is later. So I yeah, I I really don't know if he was signing or not, but he was shooting at at me and I I just kept apologizing. I said I'm sorry,

and uh he he wasn't happy with me at all. Well, back to Flair, by the way, just quickly, this here's the picture of Flair. So now apparently this is something people are talking about too, that there's something there's something with his his face here that occurred. I guess at some point during the weekend. Oh, he got a brawl. Maybe either he got he fell. Oh oh that's sad. Yeah, So that's uh, that's why I'm saying. There was a lot of stuff going on around. You know, I didn't

hear about Yeah, I didn't hear about that one. That's sad. I don't know a lot of talent. There was so much talent. I'm telling you, so much talent. I got to talk to Cass. Yeah, he's doing great. He looks great. I saw our boy, Jimmy Wyang Yang and his daughter. We're gonna have We're gonna have her on the show. Oh awesome, very yeah. I said, Jimmy, you want to come on with her? He goes, I think she's ready. I think she's okay. We we knew her when she was still in high school and she well, she she

was strutting her stuff. Let me tell you, she had on her her gear. She was posing for me like a supermodel. I have her on the vlog and she she's ready to go. She looked great. So I saw Vicky Guerrero, got to chat with her for a little bit. She looked fantastic. The beautiful people. I saw all of our friends over at the Major pod, the group. I finally met Chelsea Green and we we hung out for a while and she's a sweetheart. And yeah, just just a lot of people, you know, a lot of a

lot of a lot of talent. How about this group? Do you see this group? I did not. They were they were in another room. Oh okay, you know there's a I guess there's the A room in the B room and I was in the Z room. So well, there's a there's a lot of z right there with Candice Michelle. It's some sort of a zebra something. Yeah, she's she's got a body seat on. No, I didn't see any of those ladies. They were they were in I think they were in another section. So brook Hogan,

how about brook Hogan didn't see her? No? Yeah, I mean this is just it's everybody under the sun. I mean, it's it's there. Totally. Was a ton of talent. Yeah, And there were so many different rooms, you know. There there were a lot of different rooms. People were in the hallway. Like I saw the Good Brothers and I stopped. It was so cute. I stopped to talk to Doc and I never met Carl, and so I gave Doc a hug, and he's like, uh, I was putting over the Shop of Mania, and so we had a little

discussion about a future ShopAMania. And he grabbed Carl and he said, I want you to meet Francine. Uh, and I put my hand out and Carl I'm a huge fan, and he grabbed my arm and he just embraced me, which I was like, oh, I love you guys. But I was telling them how I was just popping and Doc's like, I'm so sorry, and I was like, don't be sorry. I loved it. I said that stuff is fun,

I said, I love I love stupid wrestling stuff. Not that it's stupid, it's brilliant, but it's it's ridiculously ridiculously brilliant, is what it is. It's brilliant and it's fun and it it just made me laugh the whole time. So uh, I pitched myself because that's what you do on these things yourself. So maybe the good Brothers will take me under their wing and use me in the future. Brothers, the major Brothers all over the place for stuff. And you know, you never know, the Queen might not be

retiring this year. So uh, you know, my goal is to get to California next year. I'd like to I'd like to get out there and sign for Oh my god, what if that's the hanging up of the old pen. What if what if California out? No, because if I listen, if I continue to uh to get people to book me, I'm just gonna keep going. Why not. It's when your phone stops bringing that you have to say, hey, I think it's time to hang it up, you know. But uh No, it was good. It was good. Yeah, we

So we have a double shot that weekend, which I know nothing about, so we'll get here. It is. This is just the generic everybody, just the well I have to have designation between the two because I do a lot of private, so I have to have private and public. But it's

I have. This is on the Sunday portion the Tidewater Cards and Collectible Show, but there's a Saturday portion as well. I don't have that information yet. Yeah, we'll get more info. And I've never seen that picture before. Oh you have. I don't believe I have. I've seen shots of us together. I like that a lot. Can I can you forward me that shot? I will try. Here's my issue with it. So my graphics guy did it and it looks great. I think it's one of the best ones I've had.

I like it. The picture is very low resolution though, a so it looks good for far away, just for not for a reproduction, just for like, yeah, yeah, I have this this photo shoot, but I don't remember this particular picture. Uh. And I like it a lot. I like the way he's like looking at me, like, yeah, that's your mind now you know. That's great. But I'm

looking forward to this weekend, uh. And then the following weekend we're working out in West Virginia where on Ringside where they they did announce I don't know if we did announce it on here, but they announced our opponents. So it's uh Shane Douglas pairing up with Brian Myers taking on Rhino and uh Heath that Heath Slater. So that's gonna be a fun one. That's that's a that's a pair of former w w E tag team champions.

That's great. So we're going to do We're going to do a meet and greet and then we're gonna do the match at night. So it's gonna be really good. So I'm excited. Double shots all around in June, very busy. See, they don't call you the Queen of Extreme for nothing, right, I'm out there, baby, Queen of Extreme, traveling out there doing stuff. Well, I didn't have a very eventful time while you were gone, so I really don't have anything

to share. It was very mundane those days wi you were gone, h you know, on our usual recording days. Walked around like sick puppy, you know, and just was sad and moping me so much. All my friends were out at Wrestle Coon and I was all by myself. How was your Well we can backtrack a little bit, uh, because we have a little bit of time. How was your dinner with your lovely wife for your anniversary? You know,

actually it was excellent. We had a great time. We went to this place called, oh what the hell is it? Oh the Black Bear in Warrenton, Virginia. Little bar, but they actually sat us down in the basement, which was like really cool, and I was like, oh shit, we're gonna be like closed in, but you can actually see out the back and it just was just like old building looked really sweet. And then we tried this new pub called O'Brien's that used to be called McMahon's but

now it's called O'Brien's. This place was so old school, down to the cigarette smoke still being in the building. It was. It had a live band. People were just drinking their faces off. It was a ball we had. I had an Irish coffee, okay because I'm not trying to drink, but I had Irish coffee. It was a freaking ball. So that was my anniversary night and we were home by like nine, and we had done so

much in like three hours. Yeah, oh that's nice. Glad you got to enjoy some time with her and celebrate your special day. Yeah, I mean I can't remember if anything like, of no doubt, I don't think anything else that really happened. I haven't talked to on my personal side. It's been a whirlwind, as you were well aware before you went to Wrestleican. But then the other side, it's been okay, very quiet. Okay, okay, Well, yeah, I think that's that some are everything up. So why don't we

talk about Patreon? Yes, well, we're continuing the fun on Patreon. We're coming off the post get My Go episode and all of our new friends. Yes, I mean was I was it a winner? Was I well received? Was so good? From everything I've seen online, it's very well received. Well, it was very funny. Well, I had a little encounter with the gentlemen that we discussed, and I don't think they're fans of mine anymore. But you know, uh, I had to to bring him down to reality and let

him know that they're not nice people. And uh he apologized profusely. Yes, tweet after tweet, But I'm just like, we have we have an update, we do. So he did his own podcast, asked last night at eleven o'clock at night, talking about how you know comments were taken out of context, and it was in the vein of the character that they portray on the their podcast, but you were never mention by name. Apparently. Well your comments

were great. I will say this. People do change, so hopefully they changed for the better from a month ago. Hey look, I give everybody a benefit down until they mess up again, So it's any My final line was do better. Yes, that was, and that was we call that a mic drop. Oh yes, but yes, but another episode soon, I guess, because there was a part two that we didn't even get to see. Part two. Yeah,

And this was last week of Francine's Disney vlog parts one, two, and three that are under way. I need to hold the camera farther away from my face. It is so hard to flog as you're walking. But okay, but that's also because I had to zoom in on a few times. Oh it got a it was a little bit more of a wide shot, but I was

just blocking certain things out, so I appreciate that. But it was a couple of times I tried, I couldn't, but I did. I did my best. Okay, okay, but it was fun nonetheless, So yeah, Disney Blog one two and three, that was last week. If you joined us for to Get My Go episodes. This week I actually found even for the watch along. I found this the week we recorded, I think the day that we recorded, and I was like, shit, this, I've never heard of

this show, but we're gonna watch the match that you're in. Okay, the first ECW reunion show show. It was at the stadium, the outdoor stadium from July two thousand and one. Okay, ECW is still fresh in arm Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we all show was it? Where were we? It was outside? It was like north North New York. It was like like Albany area. Okay, very good, we'll get the town. I have it all written down. We'll get the town

out there. But I could. I found this the day we recorded, and I was like, oh yeah, so I've been sitting on this for a few weeks. We won't watch these, but it includes at the beginning part and I'll send this to you if you ever want to check it out. It's got like many little interviews with the boys and yourself at the beginning of it, like you know, the merchandise fining. Yeah, oh, it was so cool to watch. I should watch that. I'd rather watch.

I'd rather watch part of that and then skip the beginning. We can definitely do that because the match isn't terribly long. Matches c w Anderson and Tommy Dreamer continuing their blood feud from only a few months prior. It's all fresh and I believe me and and loud'angeli the ringside and you get at the end. Yeah, yeah, maybe we could just watch the end of the match. We don't have to watch the whole thing, but I'd like, I really would like to watch the beginning of the Yeah, that's
