It's been a while since we have recorded, but it hasn't been that long since we've been on YouTube, so we've got a lot of space to fill in over the next couple of hours here. But it's good to see you. It's nice to see you as well, and it's nice to see

everybody coming into the chat. Let's see, how do you see that name? Which one the first one? I know him from you from Twitter? Kato? Cato? No? Is it K two? K two or k to? How do you say that? Brown? Hello? Hun, James, Trey Whitey, Jeff, Brian Erica, we're all here. Which one is it? Is it? Cato? Or K two? K two? K two? K K two? All right? Waiting on the edge of waiting, Yes, Vincent, Hello, Annie, one of our channel members is here. Any chat and

Okay, so first of all, I'm gonna crack open a bug Light Seltzer hert Noda. Okay, have you heard about these? Yeah? Well, I've tried so far. We had we bought the mixed pack. I've tried the cherry coke. I tried the hard coola, I tried the orange, and now I'm trying the citrus soda. And let me

tell you, my favorite is the cherry coke. I wish they sold a twelve pack of it. That tastes just straight up like soda with cherry, with a little kick, with a little punch at the end. It gets you all riled up. But here, I just want to take a live sit this the first time I haven't tried it. I'm a big lemon lime sprite girl spiting on the edge of my seat for a response. It's not bad, not bad all four. I would drink again. Okay. I still think my favorite is cherry, but not sponsored but

bud Light. I would love for you to recruit me and and sponsor eyes up here. If you're free, won't hurt either. Send them down, get him down. But I'm not drinking tonight. You're not drinking, okay. I just wanted to have a you know, Hubs made a run. He bought all this stuff. We had a little blueberry wine earlier. Very very nice, very very fruity. Did he stop the grapes himself? He got in there with his bare feet,

his big old feet, and just crushed those grapes. Troy, Hello, So okay, should we just start because there's a lot going on and a lot of people have been hitting me up on Twitter and they're like, what do you think about this? And what's going on with this? And I'm just like, look, I just I just have an opinion on things, just like everybody else does. So let's start with the biggest news story, not only of this week,

but of the whole first half of the year. I want to say for twenty twenty two, this is huge. I'm sure everybody in the chat is heard. Everybody that is going to be listening has heard. Vince McMahon has step down from his position at WWE. Crazy Mine. Yeah, we'll go back to that. I just wanted to drop that while you were talking minus blown crazy thoughts. First thoughts, I when I read it, I was like, is this a storyline? Is this gonna run on Raw? Is this

the first ten minutes of Raw? You know? Did somebody leak something? What is going on a lot? Apparently what we were supposed to know about this is all allegedly. I wasn't there, Chad wasn't there. We don't know what's true and what's not true. We only know what we're reading. Every major newspaper, magazine, dirt sheet, everybody has picked this up and they're all saying the same thing. So it's it's Vince McMahon and Johnny Ash, John Lernidis and this

this female employee. Correct, yep? Do you want to pull up an article and just read a little bit from it because I don't want to misquote anything and be quoted later. And so we have the son which is which is not the most uh it got the facts, that's all we need. I mean, it's they probably took this from another UH site. They were so they were so eager to get this article up that they wrote mahone down. We have our first super chat James. James said,

I just found out recent I hope Hunter takes control well. Well, James, before we start, oh, before we start with this guy's look what I have, let me let me come back. I have. I have one of my action figures here. She's lovely. Now here's the problem with this action figure though her hand came off. But but hold the phone. The pin is in here and the hand is in here. So I have to do a stick the pin in the little hole and put the hand back. I don't

want to open it. But for anybody that gives either a five dollars super chat or higher or becomes a channel member, your name goes in the famous Charles chip jar. If we can reach at least twenty five dollars before twenty five dollars, you're gonna get in eight x ten. If we reach that twenty five, you're playing for this baby, okay, And I will sign it and personalize it to your liking. I will even kiss it for you. I will put

a smooch on there. So five dollar or five dollar or more super chats or channel memberships, and we're playing for this legends get to twenty five. Yeah, we got to hit the twenty five. James, you're starting us off hot. So I'm gonna put James in the Charles chip Jar. Now continue with the Vince McMahon story, because this is absolutely this is you know, as the Sun says, mahone steps down, mahone down, mahone ww Boss Vince McMahon steps down as investigation starts into claims he paid ex employee

three million dollars to stay quiet about an affair. James Channel, Remember James, we love you, James. James. Well, guess what, James, you get to go in twice? Whoa you get two? Because no, it's only fair. I agree. I think it's only fair. If somebody were to give us a ten dollars super chat, I would put their name in twice because it's for every five dollars you get a chance. I agree. James, You're going in the chip jar and

welcome to the family. James. You get cool emojis, and you will be invited to our private lives, which are really good. We're gonna have another one very soon. We'll get our date pick tonight. Actually, everything all right, James, Okay, here we go. Ro began in April finding non disclosure agreements involved in claims made by former female WWE employees of misconduct by Vince McMahon and one Jonathan Ace Lauraiitis, the head of talent relations at WWE. I called him

Jonathan A's Johnny as I called him Johnny. Okay, this kind of rocked everybody's world little by little. So first it was revealed about the three million, then Johnny Ace's name was linked to it. Then as the probes started to dig a little bit more, they said, okay, well, now we're looking at a timeline. There were step people who stepped down over the last few months. Okay. So we saw earlier this year Shane McMahon left after the

royal rumbled after a disagreement. He's my favorite McMahon. Shane McMahon disagreement gone out of WWE. February saw the horrible news about Triple H's health, but also the very quiet retirement of Triple H and then a departure from whatever his roles were in WWE. That was February. Fast forward to May nineteenth, we saw Stephanie McMahon very shockingly step down from her role to focus on family obligations and leaving WWE, leaving one McMahon Vincent Kennedy as the only

guy around. So at the time we were like, Wow, that's crazy, there's only one McMahon running around WWE. But here we are in June and the story drops. Now the three million dollars was I've heard a couple different stories about that. Was that taking out of the company's money or did Vince pay that personally through his own funds? So I that part I've asked. I'm not sure because the only reason I would think this comes to light

is because it came from the company money. How would they have known if it came for Vince's personal well, if it was, if it was something having to do with his own part, I think it came from within the company speculation, don't know. But there's still you know, there's still a lot more. As all this news has kind of come out, Vince has stepped down from his role as CEO of WWE, and the board has appointed

Stephanie McMahon now back. This is like a storyline. Now Stephanie's back as the interim CEO, but Vince will assume his creative role at television every week. Do you think Stephanie's role is going to be permanent? Well, I mean, you know, there'll be an interiom. I was just thinking, like, are they waiting for things to maybe blow over, or you know, is this going to be like the final nail in the coffin for Vince? Are we never going to hear from him again? Like? What do you think?

The first thing I thought was, how is Vince going to show up at TV and fee right? That? This is one of things I saw the Wall Street Journal article. I said, how is he going to show up on Monday night to do television in the same manner that he always does every week? Right? Okay, Well, apparently he's going to just show up and it's gonna be business as usual. I just don't know how long that's gonna be. Her status is an interim. They can that the board

can appoint her the interim for the foreseeable future. It doesn't have to have a timeline attached to it. I do think we'll see him be phased out soon. But essentially it's his company do what he wants. He owns a majority stake, you know, so crazy he can choose

to step away or he can. I think the other little things that have also come out over the last couple of days is then this bombshell that there's a possible insider trading suit being dropped against Kevin Dunn for selling tons of stock recently, which, if you keep an eye on that stuff, WWE board members like done and even Stephanie and Triple A they've sold stock over the years like crazy when big moves have happened. So I'm

shocked this inpen earlier. But then also in another little wrinkle that's not really getting talked about, apparently Bruce Prichard has to step away too. Didn't hear anything about Bruce. Bruce apparently has to step away due to an injury issue. Hold on, we have a a Vinnie. You have a ten dollars super chat from the beautiful Vinnie himself for the beautiful queen Vinnie. We love you here, thank you so much, and you're going in the two times two

times Vinnie. So he hank you, sweetheart, appreciate that you are in the jar. Okay, if Vince would have just paid this out of his own pocket, would we have avoided all of this? Possibly? Yeah? Maybe why he's such a smart man, this smart businessman, why would he not do something like that? See, I don't know, because I also think was the three million was like a secondary payment.

I think that the the girl or the person or whomever that's been in the story of what's going on, you know, I think she got a severance on a way out and then this three million on top of it. Did it say why she was released the lady that

was working there, because I really didn't read the whole article. Yeah, there's something in the article, but the story is that she went from being a paralegal to a director when in like a ridiculous amount of time, and you know, their speculation that the relationship might have helped the ascension through the I'm just reading what's some fun, wasn't there? And and of course Johnny Ace is involved in this triangle.

So yeah, so Johnny Ace got like, you know, as we would classify it on the streets as the sloppy seconds, you know, like allegedly, according to what I read, you know, like Vince basically would kind of pass, oh my god, the you know, the people to the people the Ace man, right, and he'd hit him with the what was his move, the John the Ace crusher. Jesus wow. I just feel like, you know, Vince, to me, Vince has always been this larger than life, smart, smart businessman. Right always seems like

he was untouchable. This seems like a very very big mistake that could have been prevented if only he did this a different way or handled this a different way. It's not hush money, because everybody knows what's going on now. The story's it's running rampant, you know what I mean. Yes, I know we paid hush money. I'm I'm shocked. I'm shocked. I always thought in the back of my mind that that Stephanie would somehow take over the company when Vince

passed on. H Like like she to me, she was always being like groomed for the role anyway, because she, I mean, she's been involved since she was a child and watched her father and and has had all these different roles in the company. And we've seen her and Hunter move up the ladder, you know, year by year. I always thought that she she would be the main person to take over when Vince passed away. But now it's like, in light of everything, like now she it's

it's Stephanie, you know. And then is also moving up the ladder as well. He's the cleaner. Okay, Nick con has has come in and completely reshaped the entire organization. And you know whether or not he's so good at what he does, is something like this came to light, you know, the speculation. The first thing that I got basically asked by people that I know that are around the wrestling business, was are they selling now? Is this

the nail on the coffin? Is the board of directors going to say talk to the stock people and say do we have to sell now? Right? And Nick con As it's been revealed longtime close personal friend of one Dwyane Johnson who swooped in and purchased the XFL as it was tanking and going out of business. So is this the kind of thing where this massive scandal could lead to a sale? And could that sale be to

the most electrified man in the history. Right? I was considering maybe purchasing it earlier today, but then I said, no, I really want to get involved with all this bs.

Not really, but that would be interesting if, uh, if the Rock bought the w W LEE imagine that and it's like, you know, then it's like in the hands of a wrestler and a wrestling lineage still, but the guy who's the hottest hand in the history of But I like that because he's one of the boys and he knows what you know, he knows what we want and what the fans want. And Channel member Lawn is here. Hi, Lan, I hope you're having a great evening. Hope everybody's having

a great evening so far. Yeah, what a story and developing. So I'm just looking at news that's currently kind of updating. Apparently there's there's rumors Johnny Ace is at SmackDown tonight and Vince is at SmackDown, and that Johnny Ace may be safe as long as Vince deems him needed, or he could just be the latest scapegoat and let go again to take the heat off of Vincent for the time being. Okay, I I read earlier that Vince was there but Johnny was not, so he must have recently

got to the building. Yeah this, or maybe it's been you've heard confirmed this was there waiting to see if he was going to be at the building and he's allegedly there. Okay. I also read that Vince is in great spirits and he's laughing and joking with everyone and nothing's wrong, so jokes lately. I think it's a life in present, in this day and age. Crazy, absolutely crazy. Uh. Well,

like I said, we can't ignore there's a history here allegedly. Again, you know, there's stuff that's been said in the past, but this is the current and and I'm talking about lawsuits. I'm talking about stuff that's been in the newspapers, things he's admitted to on TV Howard Stern interview. Uh interview from the mid nineties. I don't escape it until now.

I also read, and I don't know if this is true either, but I've read a couple different people have come out and they have actually said that Vincent Linda McMahon are still legally married but haven't been living together for years years. Don't know. I'm not in the household. I don't know, but if so, that's pretty interesting. You know, it's their business, it's not ours. I'm just reporting the news because that's what we do here at eyup here.

We report the news and we let you know what's going on in the world a professional wrestling But crazy, absolutely crazy, And I really don't know what to say. You know, I did work there. I have been in the business now twenty nine years, going on thirty years. You hear things all the time. You hear stories. I've never been a part of any scandals, so to speak, so I really can't say what's true and what's not true. But I have heard a ton of things, and you know,

I don't know if they're true or not. But it's I mean, it's it's not hard to believe once you hear fifty million other stories or allegations or accusations. Who knows, who knows. All I can say is wow, That's all I can say. Okay, Now, the PW Insider report is he is not Johnny is not there. He's not That's what I heard he was. He is not there. Okay, so the first one I read was incorrect. The PW Insider is not there. Okay. I will take a PW Insider news story any day of the week. Yeah, they're

pretty reliable. Well, I'm sure more will develop in the next couple of weeks and we'll learn as we go. But good lord, that's pretty big chunk of the early part of them. Absolutely, we have a five dollars super chat from Lawn Happy Friday, fabulous for ranccene and Chad. Do you think the new w m D should stand for Weapons of McMahon's destruction. Enjoy your evening line. Line you're going in the bin, look line, Charles Chip is

Baby, you have to sift through a lot of nonsense to get to the news. Yeah, I don't. I don't go

through them. I'm sorry, I can't do that. All right. Dan's in the chip jar. Thanks buddy. So another story that is out that makes me super sad. Jeff Hardy. I'm heartbroken because he's such a nice man. Sorry, he told me about his baby goats when we ate and catering together. I read three times over the legal limit. So did you see the video? No? I did not full last video. Really send it to me. I didn't

see it. Forty minutes long we get to you see the from the officer's cruiser, his car as Jesus slow and back and forth. They got four nine to one one calls from concerned drivers. Yeah, and he you know, he wasn't any bit of like a you know, like he was just very disoriented and he was drunk. I mean that's all he was. You could just tell where was he coming from. I didn't again, I didn't read the article. I just heard. So that weekend was a big weekend. That was the River City Wrestle. Khan was

last weekend. So the Hardys were headliners of that. But they were all over the place. They were all over that area that I think that northern part of Lorida doing conventions and I think he had a show and there might have been another one in there. I want that figure. Hey baby, maybe we'll see. But thank you, Mike, you're going into Charles Chipyard. I'm gonna put you in there. Brad waves out there man trying to get that figure. Yeah, you know, Mike wants it, so let's put you in

the chip Yard. Thanks Mike, we appreciate you. So. Yeah, So they were all over the place doing these uh yeah, all over the place, and he was in a white Dodge Charger. I wasn't sure if it was a rental car or not. I don't know if that was like sessified. But what I thought was interesting. This is kind of nerve wracking watching the video as he was like getting pulled out and they were searching him, you know, asking her there any needles in your bag? This and that.

I'm knowing that he's coming from a convention, right, I'm thinking that they're going to pull out like a stash of cash and be like what are you doing with this there? Star, Like, where what is this that you're you know, erradically driving and this night's coming from a meet and greet. I was like, eh, but I guess that wasn't a problem. Oh, hold on, I'm sorry. Michael. Hello, hello for eze you and know I want to send you my love. I appreciate you being so nice to

me since you doing live streams on YouTube. Again. By the way, I want that action figure. Yeah, Michael, thank you so much for Michael's wrestling channel. Ten dollars. Supercha, Mike. You're going in the bin twice because you gave us ten bucks. So we we appreciate that and we appreciate you. Thank you so much. So getting back to Jeff, was he in the car by himself? Yes, he was by himself, okay, and he just you know, pulled out they drew guns on him, you know, take him out of the car.

He really, he just was very you know, I mean abriated and you know, had to sit down in front of the car and questioning and you know, very publicly the stuff that went on with her. And she's in jail right now, I guess for this time period. But I mean, you know, he's a good guy, but you can't do that. No. Look, I said it before. As much as I loved Tammy, I'm furious at her. And you know, Jeff isn't a very nice man. You stop

driving drunk people. I have no tolerance for drunk drivers, like I don't like, God forbid, I said it a million times. If I go out there with my children in the car, I'm scared to death every single time I have to drive somewhere because some idiot wouldn't take an uber and he gets behind the wheel, and it's just it's infuriating to me. He's smarter than that, make better choices. People like it makes me so sad. And the amount of money that's coming in from all these

shows that the Hardys are doing. Why is he driving anywhere? Why get this guy a car service? A car service? But when I do my things, like you, well, I don't. I don't know where are they still in the same location in the north North Carolina? Okay, so you would think that they would fly into Florida. Right now, If I fly in somewhere, they always have somebody pick me up and drive me around. Why is he driving on his own? Where where is his keeper for the weekend?

Why where's that? And then I thought about the like that's why I said, I don't know if it's his car or a rental car, because if they got him to drive from North Carolina to Florida, get me them in negotiations, like would you get somebody too agreed to drive from North Carolina to Florida? That's what if he did, if he did this signing with his brother, where was Matt? Yeah, I don't know where's the where's the guy that's supposed

to drive him around? That's that's unacceptable. I'm sorry. Yeah, that makes me so sad, Like I hate reading this kind of stuff about people. It's just horrible. And oh my god. And was this sleep the second or third one? This was no, I think the fourth? Oh god stop? Yeah, I mean, you know, he's very remorseful. You know, there's been the you know, the time that he's been taking to get himself straight. You know, everybody there was all those talk all to talk about when he left WWE.

WWE wanted him to go to rehab. There was newsday he was kind of ineburiorated that WWE functions and it was, oh my god, it's a shock that Jeff Hardy's out of WWE. Well, everybody was waiting for him to go to aw but nothing changed apparently. The sickness, it's a sick Yeah, yeah, it's a sickness. I'm not making light of anything. Just like with Tammy. They need help. They need help. And what are you laughing at? Why are you laughing? I was just reading a comment. I wasn't

laughing at im. He threw me off. I'm sorry, I'm serious. These people need help and they should not be in a position on the road with the boys driving themselves around. That's ridiculous. Makes me angry. I mean, we get you a car service to come to Virginia Beach for one of our shows. You get a car service everywhere. Because you're not from around there, we don't expect you to rent your own car. You know. And if we can't get somebody to drive you physically, we will rent you

a car service. How does a guy like a Jeff Hardy not have a chauffeur assigned to them. That's another thing too. You know, you get it. You have a person your show, who's the guy, he's the jockey. Hey, you need to run this person at the airport. This person needs to go to a hotel. You know, you need to get this person food. You need this. That is like a job you assign when you put your shows together, and you pick the right people to do that.

It's unbelievable. I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm just sad all around. What a week? Yeah, what a week? What other story? Was there another story? We were trying to find the other I feel like there's another one. But guys, was there another story that we missed? I'm looking anybody out there to help me this stuff here? Red, You're right, Ren says that they need help, but they don't accept the help when it's offered because they can't admit that they have a problem. Most people, most people can't admit it.

It's just it's sad because he really is a nice from what. I don't know him well enough. I've encountered Matt Way more than Jeff, But the times I have come across Jeff, he was very nice. So it's it's really it's upsetting Dave. Yeah, I'm gonna say breaking news. Dave Hebner passed away. So Dave the brother of Earl who the Twins. Yeah, he apparently was in very bad health over the ohh oh, what a shame. Very nice guy. Worked with him in my first convention in Richmond in

twenty seventeen. Very nice guy and actually the first ever wrestling personality I saw live in person at a house show. He walked right by me. Well, Dave passed some peace to Dave Hebner. That's sad. Oh, this show's a downer tonight, I know. Bring this up. Yeah, somebody give us a good story. Oh CM Punk he gets see him Punk? Was that last week when seem Punk got hurt. They had to get rid of seeing Punk. He's out as champion. They crowned an interim champion, and now they've got two

champions and they I don't know, I know. That was another news story floating around. Sasha Banks reportedly released she asked for her release though, Well, that's just been all about the walkout. Yeah, so there's that. I mean, there's there's a lot of wrestling news Mike screwing haul Cogan out of the belt on the main event back in eighty eight. I wonder if he has to testify when he shows up to the Pearly Games. Well, Dave Hebner did not screw him out. It was Earl Hebner who

screwed him out of the title. So Earl is doing fine. Said, they live in Richmond. They live about ninety minutes away from me. The great guys, Mike, do you have a man crush on Matt Cardoona because you mentioned him a lot. But that's we talked about that, Mike on the last Eyes of Here, that Matt. Yeah, we did, because Matt is still and I can't get rid of out. He's still all over my timelines everywhere. But but in a cast. Now Cody Rhodes out after all that nine months his

arm Good lord, did you see? Yeah? Oh brother, that was that was wicked. I said, good lord, he was there for a cup of coffee and now he's hurt. All that all that money, you know, all that all that time put in this big review. Oh my god, codyve a w and now he's off for nine months. Well, I mean, what can you do? Really, what can you do? There's so much happening in the world of professional wrestling. I missed the big show this weekend, but we're going

to discuss that later. I feel like we need to get together as a as a group to like console you for that. Yeah. I was very upset, but we're going to discuss that on an extra on Patreon because I I literally I cried. I felt so bad, I felt so terrible. It was. I was deary and sad and was I was told the news and I was afraid to messages. Yeah, let's talk about it later. This is Yeah, we'll talk about that later. Yeah, this show's bringing me down as it is. Let's let's talk about

some fun stuff. Let's see. Oh wait, we have a Vincent Esposito, says Francini Rock. I was a stage hand when I was sixteen at the ECW Arena and met you a few times. You were always so great. I had a major crush. Thank you, Vincent. What did you do a stage hand? I didn't even know we had stage hands in ec You tell him that's what you are to get in for free? Oh is that what it is? What you do for us? Vince? Let me know. Uh now, what if he said he was a wrestler

for ECW that you don't remember? I don't. Well, you know when when Shane and I were in Virginia a couple of weeks ago, not not your show, the one the day we were at the toy store. He was talking to this guy for ever and again I don't remember his name. I know who it is. I remember who was okay, very nice. Him and his girlfriend came and so after Shane talked to him for about forty minutes,

he decides to say, oh, do you know Francie. And I said, we've never met, nice to meet you, and the guy goes, well, kind of met you up, that's the best. Always here. He said he had wrestled for E CW. I'm like when I said where, and he told me like one or two days. But of course I didn't remember. And you know, him and Shane had some Warzon wasn't even there, no, no, but it's on

the independent scene, some knockdown drag outs. Yeah, well, I you know me, I don't remember, shit, nice seeing you again. Happened a lot lately. So apparently there's been a lot of uh E. C w alums floating out there. Oh, they're all over the place. For that cup of coffee you ask anyone now, did you oh I worked for ac W, Like really, Oh well, I mustn't miss that. Did you get paid for yours? Because I don't know

if my checks went through you? No, Mike, I don't go to concerts, Mike says to me, if I'm going to this stadium tour thing, I don't do concerts. I think my whole life, I've been to seven concerts, six or seven. It's a pretty big tour though. That's a that's a pretty good one. Let me think I've been to I've said this before, I'll say it again. My first concert ever was Rick Springfield. I was a kid. I was like, I don't know, seven, eight, nine, ten,

I was little Rick Springfield. We were like in the back row, couldn't see anything waiting next to me. Gave me her binoculars. That's all I remember. Okay. I saw the monkeys and Herman's Hermits and plastic a bunch of them at that stadium. They did the Stadium tour without the Big That was the Big eighty six eighty seven now, which is a horrible song. I hate it. Oh, I hate that song. Oh, Okay, so that's two. I saw Kiss with Shane Douglas in Baltimore when we got the Superbox.

We sat there Kiss. I saw the Wiggles with my family. That's considered a concert because it was singing and dancing. I either saw Fazzy or Stuck Mojo in concert, because I don't remember which one it was. It was either one or the other, but I saw them. Who else? Did I see? Who else? Did I mention? Is there anyone else? I'm right there with you. I haven't been to many either. I don't. I don't love certain things about concerts. Too expensive, A lot of times it's not

that good. So you know, I'm kind of like with you a little bit. Did I only see five people in concerts? I don't remember, but I will tell you there's only one band that I would go and stand for three hours for, and that is Duran Duran if I got the opportunity to go see them live. They're the only ones I want to go see live. Okay, because I'm enamored with them, but that'll never happen. Because it did, i'd be there now. I saw the Monkeys in two thousand and one on one of their anniversary tours.

I saw. I went to the most I saw. I worked for a company in two thousand and one that had box seats to the P and C. Bank Arts Center in Home Down, New Jersey, and I went there like four times that summer. Ironically, was supposed to see Deep Purple on September eleventh or September twelfth, two thousand and one. Still have the full used ticket from that concert. But I did see Aerosmith there and I think two thousand and twelve, and that was my That was my

favorite one that I've been to. Aerosmith. Yeah, I I don't remember anybody else. I don't know. Oh, Paul McCartney. That was my other favorite one. Oh that's a good one. Yeah, So Paul McCartney. That was my wedding gift from my brother in two thousand. Oh that's nice. Doug yep, yep, that was great wedding give. We saw him down here ironically in DC great concert, And you know that was thirteen years ago. He's still tore he just sold out.

What was it, uh, Camden Yards in Baltimore. He's excellent. We ago. I would love to have seen the Beatles live. Oh my god. I'm a big mark for the Beatles, like I would love to have seen them live. But well that ain't happening. No, of course it's not. Maybe they do a tour as a hologram group. I just can't remember if I've seen anybody else like I off the top of my head, I'm not a big concert person, so I don't know. But the Kiss one, it was me, Shane and Damien. I wasn't even a fan of Kiss

at the time. And I'll never forget Shane brought this cooler and it had liquor and beer and a bunch of alcohol in it, and then over it had Coca Cola cans all over the top layer. And you had to go through security to get in, and he handed me the cooler. Now, the cooler was one of those big you know, you had to hold it with like two hands. And here's these two dudes. It was Shane

and Damien and then me. You would have thought that they would have carried the cooler, but no, the girl carries the cooler, so I carry it and the guy goes, excuse me, mam, I have to look in your cooler. Well I almost did a duty in my pants because I was so scared because you weren't allowed to bring alcohol into the building. And he just opened it and saw the coke and said go ahead, and I said And then I said to Shane why and he goes, you're a girl. They weren't going to do anything to you.

I said, well, what if I got arrested it, he goes, I would have said tout right, but I was so scared going through security. But that concert was great. Kiss Live. That made me a thing. Imagine I can imagine you and a starry eyed little boy with blonde hair watching them. Oh he was, well, we like we were in the skybox, a press box, and it was nice. It was fun. It was a good time. But nothing beats the Wiggles.

The Wiggles, they were my favorite girls. See my kids dance and sing and laugh and oh god, that that trump's anything I could have done. You know, seeing your kids happy is the best thing in the world. Do you go to comedy shows often? We'll talk about that as well, Peter, Yeah, yeah, the last comedy show I went to. I didn't know any of the acts because they were free tickets and I didn't know any of them, and we just did it the past of the time. Can't beat the price it was free. Would you like

to show the action figure again? Let's get some sure, make sure you got it without folks. These are hard to get nowadays because you don't see many of these signed unless they come from me. So of course it's my Legends figure. And the only thing you need to do is fix the put the little pin back in the hand. But I will sign it, I will personalize it. I can kiss it if you want. I'll put some lipstick on and give it a smooch and it will be yours. And all you need to do is either

get a channel membership or five dollars or more. The more money you donate, the more times your name goes in the jar. So if you were to donate twenty dollars, you get four chances to win. I'm just throwing that out there. You can do as little less five dollars, but you'll get this sent to you and you're helping the channel out because we're trying to grow, We're trying to do new things and keep it going. And I

would appreciate and Lon can testify. Lon ended up winning an eight by ten, so he had the eleven x seventeen photo already. He ended up winning an eight by ten and he shared that the other day on social media that he got his winnings. So we take care of people, So take care of us. That's it. So yeah, support the channel and win a prize. What else is going on? I'm off this weekend. I'm very excited. I'll

tell you a funny thing. So I ended up going to Square Circle Collectibles where you were two weeks ago. So I went last week and the little something something with the million dollar man Ted Dbiassi. Did you know, Josh, the great guy who owns the Square Circle Collectibles owns the puppy store that's also in that complex. Did you see that place when you both didn't see it? This close to going home with a damn dog? Ye, the whole family came with me because we went out of

the day. So I'm with. I called John's the line outside. I said to Josh, hey, you know, I'm here, you know, but I'll let your line die down. Before I headed to do my business. He said, yeah, go hang out in the puppy store. So I'm like, okay, cool. I thought it was like treats, crates, clothes, you know, a little dog accessories. Oh no, there's all puppies. It was puppies, puppies, puppies. Now, those kinds of places are very hard to find these days.

And they fell in love with a little dog named Turnip, a little uh multi two. Oh. I stood strong, I stick to my guns. I'll send you the picture that I took of my older daughter with the dog. It was disclosed. I'm not even kidding. Did they oh yeah, oh yeah, but the little one got over it. It was more the wife and my older daughter. Yeah yeah, wow. I was strong. Wow. That took every bit of fatherdom in my body. Yeah. Wrong. And because I saw the

dog and I let them play with it. And it's the one that looked me right in the eyes and was like digging out the glass, I was like, And it was eight weeks old. It was a little small, a multi poo multi. See. I don't really know too many hyper hyper hyper allergenic, so won't yeah, won't bother your allergies. So it's Maltese and a poodle Combo. And Ryan's in the room by the way, yes he I don't know if I sent him the pictures. I don't know if I did, but it was it got pretty

pretty close. And you and I we've talked about it over years. I don't want a dog, you know, I don't want not yet. They're not ready for it. And it was this, you know, dogs are a ton of responsibility. Like I had this conversation with my husband about two weeks ago. I was like, you know, I think an animal would be really good for the kids, and he just like he didn't even say two words. He sat there and stared at me and was like this the whole time. So all he did. And I'm like, look,

here's the deal. I know dogs are a lot of work, and that's why we need a cat because I'm a cat person. I love cats and he hates cats. And I said, yeah, but with a cat, you don't have to do anything. I said, And I'll buy the litter box that that it spins and it cleans the poop by itself. Mike Durban two dollars, super chat, but you need to put three more to get back into the bin. Mike two dollars super chat. Yeah, I just want to

say quick. So Mike's saying, if you buy a instead of adopting from a shelter, a major he they said, adopt, don't shop. That's why I did not go home. That is not the reason why, No, it's it is. That was the final reason why I asked, what's the process right? Because I didn't know. I don't know what the hell I was doing. That's why I decided to stick to my guns, not for the the torture that that dog will put you through the next twelve years. That was

That was another little part, tiny little part. The other part was what Mike is saying, and that's nothing against that again, Josh Squat Circle Collectibles. If you were in Northern Virginia or Central Virginia and you want to go to a wrestling store and go to a quality meet and greet with beautiful aesthetics and nice people, Squirts Ocal Collectibles unbelievable. It's not the dog's fault that they're in

a store. No, it's not. It's not. That's what I don't understand, Like, these dogs need people to get them too. Mike Durband, I see, I can see everybody, both sides. The poor puppy that's in his store and has to be put in a store, it's not his choice. So why can't you get one from a shop? That's where I don't. I don't get that. Tell me why I'm wrong, Mike, fight me, I dare you come at me? Bro I'm right here. I'm here. That's what. I just don't get it, like I get the whole like I you know, I

don't think these shops treat them poorly? Do they? These dogs? Everybody homes like or all animals need homes. That's true, Brian, he'd yeah, I mean like that's part of the problem. The one thing I want and I can't have is a uh a kitten. It's the what are they called? The tiny ones that don't grow? What are I just saw them miniature kitten? No, what are they called? Not? The teacups are dogs. There's a there's a cat that you that are tiny, they don't grow and they just

they have a different shaped body. That's the kitten I want. And you can't know that the kitten, mic I just saw a picture of one on a Instagram and I can't think of what the name is. If anybody knows the name, please tell me because it's gonna drive me crazy. It's not like a I want to say, a little person kit, small kitten. No, it's not. It's like a tiny kitten. No, does anybody know I just saw a video of this type of kitten. No one knows. Look,

nobody's talking to man to chat. No, they're not called hamster, is Uncle Brian? What the hell are they called? I don't know. I'll find it later. But that's what I want, the little kitten that doesn't grow. And my husband said, hell to the No, I am not allowed a pet here. And then my kids are like, can we get a bunny? My husband goes ew, Okay, can we get a hamster? Gross? Can we get this? No? Can we get that? No? So we can't get anything. No, it's not it's not

called it's a miniature. Is it a miniature kitten? No? What the no, Frank, I don't know what it's called. Munchkin. That's what it's called, Mike, Mike Derban for the wind. You got it, Mike. It's a munchkin, and that's what I want. And you cannot find them. I think you have to go to Siberia. To find this type of cat, I cannot find them anywhere. I have searched shelters, stores everywhere. I cannot find a munchkin kitten anywhere. And that is

the only cat that I want. Mmm. So if anybody out there breeds, don't let me know, probably any viewers in Siberia. Rather than contribute to the super chat, all you have to do is send in a hitten and you get an entry into you. No, you don't get the entry, you get the doll. Do you get the action figure for sure? No? I don't want to sign these cat No, no, no, I'm thinking I'm thinking about you, like doctor Evil, like massaging the bald cat. Like. No,

I don't want the ball. I don't like the bald cat. I just want that little munchkin minister. They're so cute. They're so cute. But that's what I would pick if I can get it, get a pet. So anyway, what what a week, guys? What a week? I'm uh, I'm scared for tomorrow. What are we gonna find out tomorrow? I know because I haven't left my house in like a week, so I haven't done anything wrong. I can't talk to the Catster. Anybody want to come to Stafford, Virginia.

I'll be doing a card show tomorrow and Stafford. So are you really What time is Saturday? Uh? Nine o'clock to two o'clock. I believe, first time show. I'm just trying to check it out. Got some new merchandise, get in your feet? Wet you saw you saw my setup? What it's up to? I mean by the Chatster's ib exclusives. Show profile has grown so right, Our newest channel member, James says, I want a black cat and he wants to name him Salem. I would name my cat Peanut.

I want to name my cat if I ever got one, so you know, if I get divorced, I'm getting a cat. That's the first thing I'm doing. Two names. So the dog's name is Turnip. Right. Two names on the table for dogs in this house are Bell, like Judy and the Beast. Bell and Carter, named after my favorite baseball player of all time. That is a not even said by me. That is a universal name in this house

if we are at Carter. Okay, I just think Peanut's a cute name for a little munchkin, Little Peanut, and I just put my black Cat is named Booker T due to him looking like Booker T all right? Does he do the spinnerini only when he has to use the litter box? Uh, it's sad. I you know, I value my marriage more than than having a pet, So

I don't think we'll ever have a pet. But you know, dare to dream kids don't give Oh there's a video the girl goes, don't give up on your dreams, and then she stares at the camera like, even if you want to, just I will send the ten to the funniest video Google. Don't give up on your dreams. Girl on YouTube. She's hysterical. I watch her every day for motivation. Here do you want to see her? Why don't you? I think I've seen it? Is it like a TikTok?

I don't know she's on YouTube. I founder on YouTube. Just tell us what's on Patreon and then I'll play this absolutely well, we're gonna do one piece of Patreon business on YouTube. Here for everybody to kind of get the preview patreon dot com slash franccene podcast. We can get four shows a week from your favorite two hosts

that are sitting right in front of you. Uh, this is a recommendation by a Patreon member named Dustin, who catalogs and has one of the most expansive fran scene video collections possible and Franccene's illustrious wrestling career, and we're gonna be looking at a video where he breaks down the top moves of franc scene. So we're gonna see Francine's entire move sets from top to bottom. I think it's forty or forty one. It's actually thirty seven seconds. Well,

it's a it's gonna be done on YouTube. It's for Patreon, so you kind of get to see what we do there. We do a watch along every week. It's usually a match. Sometimes we change it up and do non wrestling. But we've been in two thousand for the last couple of weeks. What do you want to do it now? No, I'll do it when you're okay. Uh So, yeah, well check

out Francine's move set. Uh Then, as she mentioned earlier, we're going to be doing a big catch up where she's going to tell the tragic story of her last weekend and I'm gonna tell the triumphant story of my last couple of days. So it's a catchup, but we haven't talked, so this is gonna be the first time

we're discussing it together. Both things going on in our yeah, collective worlds, and uh, just to you know, our usual ridiculous fun and zaniness and silly morning Zoo style work that we do on Patreon, You're gonna do a quiz on famous TV mascots means actually, wait, no, wait, hang on, it's actually gonna wait is a TV mascots? Let me just make sure I have the right one in front of me. It is no, it's serial mascots. Let me fix that. Oh that's better. It's food branding. Okay, So yeah,

so I'm gonna take it that TV. I was typing it quick when we got out here. So we're gonna do a quiz famous product brand mascots, and that's on Patreon Forwards podcast. We're gonna keep everybody with us for the watch along though, right correct, don't go anywhere when we end. We're not ending the YouTube, uh stream, We're just gonna end our eyes up here stream. You guys are gonna stay with us, and we're gonna do a

watch along together. We're gonna stay on for a while because uh, we need more people to try and get this action figure. So we're not gonna do the drawing for probably another hour. So keep that in mind. But listen. For everyone who's feeling down, for everyone who thinks they can't go on another day, I have some motivation for you. Just listen to this. Hey, guys, just want to answer, not to get invitations. Motivational if I've ever heard if you want, she's like, don't that is. I can't even

express to you how motivational that is. I want her to come on our show. I don't, and just like that, you become an internet sensation. She's all over the place. I love her. So you got to give respect to that. Should we answer just a couple questions before we call it? Okay, So Troy Plumber here, I'm gonna read what he wrote. He says you should make a guest appearance at A and W Fallout twenty twenty two for insine. Okay, here's the problem, Troy. You have to be invited on these shows.

Everybody keeps telling me you need to do this, You need to do that. You need to go a W. You guys, if you want to see me there, you need to tweet them because that they listen to the fans. That's the only way something's gonna happen is if you tell a certain company this is who I want to see, or you do a petition or you get you know, I can't just say, oh yeah, let me just go to use me tonight because I'm here. It doesn't work that way. You need to be booked. And I think

I think fans tweeting. You know, if enough people I'm not telling you to do. I'm just saying, if enough people would tweet Tony Kahan or if you want to see so and so in w W, you tweet, you know, now it would be I guess Stephanie, you know, don't don't tweet Johnny is just in case, sweet Yeah, don't, Stephanie. But you know what I'm saying, Like you talent just can't show up somewhere and say hey, I'm working tonight.

You know I should be here. I should work. No, you have to tell people Mike wants to see me in the NWA, Well go and tweet Billy tell them. I mean, what's he waiting for me? Yeah? I mean these guys are all big ECW fans. I mean Billy, Love you, Billy. I've met Billie several times. Sam says, do you want to have a full time gig? Are you happy doing what you like when you want? Sam, I am. I don't want to be on the road full time. I couldn't be on the road full time.

I have too many obligations at home. You guys know, I have kids, I have my mom, A'm married, my husband has a full time job. Like I homeschool. I can't just pick up and leave whenever I want to. It's difficult for me. That's why I thrive on this kind of stuff. You know, the YouTube, That's why you know you guys buying the channel memberships, and it helps me because I can't. I can't work outside of the home because I have to stay here with the kids.

I do these cons when they are worth it. I could probably work every single weekend, but some of the shows are just small and the pay isn't good and it's not worth it for me to leave. It's not being a diva. It's just prioritizing my time and what's worth it and what's not worth it. So for the bigger cons, when I can make the most money, that's when I go, and if the shows are smaller, I'd rather stay home. It's just, you know, it's that's just the way it is. A lot of the times my

husband has to take off from work. You know, next week, I have a project to do and I have to leave during the week. Now he's got to take off those days to stay home. But this project could lead to something bigger, and we're taking a chance on it, and I'm I'm going and I'm flying out, you know, on Tuesday and doing something so well it happen, I don't know, but this is a paying gig and I'm looking at it as hey, I'm getting a pay day

this week. If it blossoms and it goes the way that we want it to, then then great, you know. But at this stage in my career, like I'm just happy that I'm getting offers and I'm getting opportunities, but I don't want to be on the road full time. Like that's just not something I want to do. So and I can honestly tell you not that they're interested, but if anybody were to come at me and say, hey, we want you to do this full time, I'd turn it down because I just can't right so, and that's

where I'm at. Yeah, it's it's interesting, you know, the life of a wrestler, wrestling personality, fascinating, but you put it out there and what you know, what it takes and got to admire that the hotel. So, is your husband filling in for you next week with me? No, because I will be home Friday. I know, I'm kidding.

As long as we can record Friday. We actually have to figure out the schedule coming up because I mean I've been going to Thursday, but I'll be home Friday, so I will be in the great state of Florida at the end of the month. So we have to come up with our plan separately for that stuff and we will. Yeah, I love my family. My first priority is being a mom, being a wife, taking care of my family, and that will always be my first priority. And I will give up work if it interferes with

my children or my home life. So you know, that's where I'm at. But I'm grateful for opportunities that come my way. And I'm trying to think the next I can't talk about next week, but the next public appearance is July July twenty third. I'm in eerie Pa. And then I'm in Ohio and it's me and Yeo girl, It's me and the Sandman. So if anybody is in that area. At the end of July, we're going to be in Eerie, PA and Ohio and I'll have the

information on Twitter. And then at the end of the of July, we'll be in Queens, New York again for the Wrestling Universe and that's going to be fun. And that's so far. It's me, Shane and Hack and Sandman, so more will be at it and it's supposed to be an ECW fan fest, so that'll be fun. So I'm looking forward. But after next weekend, I'm home for like one am. I home for a month. Belt yeah, yeah, yeah, So I'm just gonna be hanging out with the kids,

going to the pool and taking care of business. So that's great. Mike says, what do we have to do to get you at an Illinois con? Uh? I don't even know any cons in Illinois, the Chicago. I was at Starcast, but you missed me, Dean says. The Muffin Man always says God and family come first. Good job by youthy. I like to listen to the muffin Man's philosophy for that popping in him. Yeah, what kind of cons are in Illinois? Besides? Uh, I don't even know the big one. Is that over for this year? I

think that's over. Yeah, I don't know. But I mean there's other stuff that pops up there. I mean there's tons of pop culture cons and other things. But you know why is he banned from Starcast? Well, I'll let him tell you that. I mean, oh, he's got great stories about star Cast. I would have went. I would have went to Starcast this year, but I was already booked in Queens, so I was late on getting the information for that. But I would have I would have

went to Starcast because that was a three day event. Yeah, I'm coming to Queen's Troy July. What is it, July thirtieth or thirty first Michael channel member, Greetings. How you doing tonight? Nice to see you again, my friend. Oh, Mike me to documentary. It's very funny. I mean he basically, you know, if you want to say, just kind of there's a little bit of poking fun at guests event. He hit it out of the park. I mean, he

absolutely killed it. So I mean it was very well tone, So you got you gotta expect the consequences then, don't you? I would say it was probably with it. I bet you, he would say, to say it's worth it. I like this question from Johnny Hardwood, and I like your name as well. Would you rather see a stacked roster with almost too many people or a smaller roster that concentrates

on storylines. I would rather see a smaller roster that concentrates on storylines because I'm a stickler for a good story. I think today's product I don't watch much of it. I don't see a lot of storylines happening. I see a lot of people fighting, and there's matches going on. I don't see a lot of good storylines happening, right, So I think that's what I would go for, is the smaller roster. And that's what we had in ECW and all of our storylines were excellent, and I might

be everybody and you could tell what everybody was doing. Yeah, exactly. So, Mike Durban, send me that documentary if you would. I want to see it, all right, So, so, uh, I don't know, do you wanna do you want to end the broadcast and go over to uh do some Patreon stuff. Yes, but don't leave because we're still going to do that. Don't. We want you with us. We're gonna do a watch along together. We're just gonna end twenty more minutes. Yeah, we're not ending on YouTube here. We're ending on just

for our eyes up here. But this is still up for grabs if anybody wants to uh get a chance to get her. It's just a five dollars super chat. Lone says, when McMahon re releases of Wrestler, does he take a page out of Bam Bam Bigelow's book line you got the You got the Zingers, don't you, buddy? He's just he's got a ton of them. Johnny Ace is the one that called me when I was released here at Vincent Esposito in two thousand and one, when

What two thousand and one, we weren't there anymore Vincent. We were done early. We were done between January and February. We were done. I have no idea. What you're talking about? That's crazy.

Left, Come get them before they're gone, because

when they're gone, ain't coming back, okay. And for me across the board on social media, you can find me at ecwdter Francine And with that, that is a wrap.
