Speaker 1: Okay, that's the lovely tunes of Moose's Little Daughter. But
Speaker 1: this is Eyes up Here, and you're listening and watching
Speaker 1: the brand new Eyes up Here exclusively on Patreon, on
Speaker 1: the Creative Control Network, and everywhere in between. If you
Speaker 1: didn't know by now, my name is Chad, and every
Speaker 1: single week I'm joined here by the Queen of Extreme Franccene. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing very well. How are you?
Speaker 1: How was your holiday, sir? My holiday was great. It
Speaker 1: was wonderful. I'm just very quite sad to see it go,
Speaker 1: because yeah, it was really good. I really enjoyed like
Speaker 1: every single second of it. So I was kind of
Speaker 1: sad to see it end. But we still got time.
Speaker 1: We got New Year's coming up. So I ripped the
Speaker 1: stockings right off the mantle yesterday. Did you really come on,
Speaker 1: you Scrooge, get ready to take that tree down. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm over it. Kids were sad, Kids are like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's over. And I say the same thing every year.
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, we do it again. Next year. It
Speaker 1: will come back, you know, you get it again. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I and and I made a huge blunder. One of
Speaker 1: the gifts that I bought we already had. I didn't
Speaker 1: even know it. And my son goes, it's okay, mom.
Speaker 1: It was a racing cars, you know, picks our cars.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a different one, and so hubs
Speaker 1: is mouth and me, that's the same one. And my
Speaker 1: son goes, no, Mom, I'll put I'll put them next
Speaker 1: to each other and instead of racing two, will race four.
Speaker 1: It'll be great. My heart just got so big. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you're so sweet, thank you. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I could have returned it, but
Speaker 1: he had already ripped it open and started putting pieces together,
Speaker 1: so I was like, okay, well, you know, if he's happy,
Speaker 1: I'm happy. But they seemed to be pleased with their
Speaker 1: gifts and very nice. Yeah it was. It was a
Speaker 1: quiet day for us, but relaxing, really relaxing. I like that.
Speaker 1: I like these, and I was thankful we didn't have
Speaker 1: to go anywhere because the weather just was ridiculously cold,
Speaker 1: like it was cold minus sixteen was the wind chill
Speaker 1: factor or whatever that is, like the real feel minus sixteen.
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, I am so glad we're
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. It was that two days before Christmas.
Speaker 1: Where it was like that you couldn't go outside cold,
Speaker 1: and I, yeah, nowhere during that two day span, Christmas
Speaker 1: almost felt like a heat wave because here it got
Speaker 1: to like thirty Yeah. Well Christmas Eve is when we
Speaker 1: usually would travel, and it was cold. On Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: it was really cold, so I was happy that we
Speaker 1: didn't have to go anywhere. But yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: got like a balmy twenty two degrees or something. On Christmas.
Speaker 1: It got a little warmer, but still it was. It
Speaker 1: was just it's been freezing freezing here. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: know they're telling us, oh, can you lower your heat
Speaker 1: at night to conserve energy? Just like free're right. I
Speaker 1: got up to seventy one in here because it gets cold,
Speaker 1: and yeah, seventy one yeah, and that seems to be
Speaker 1: the magic number because if you drop it the seventy
Speaker 1: then you're like, you know, wrapped in a blanket. Yes,
Speaker 1: And seventy two is too warm. I feel like seventy
Speaker 1: two is you're like, oh my god, I'm in the Sahara. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that was, you know, it was, it was good.
Speaker 1: I'm thankful when the holiday is over, though, I like
Speaker 1: to take everything down right away and not being a
Speaker 1: ball humbug, but it's it's oh no, no, it's done.
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it while it's coming. The week of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were getting ready the day of, and then the
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, I'm over it. And now Christmas starts earlier
Speaker 1: every year, so it's not like you have the same
Speaker 1: amount of time to wait. You Basically, like in September,
Speaker 1: people start start preparing for it. By October, it's in
Speaker 1: all the stores, and then in November, everybody's done with
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and they're ready for Christmas. The worst part is
Speaker 1: when you're driving around, maybe the twentieth to twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: I know people leave their decorations up until like after
Speaker 1: New Year's Day. I'll allow that, Okay, I'll allow that.
Speaker 1: But then January second comes, I'm driving around, I still
Speaker 1: see decorations. January twenty fifth comes, I still see decorations.
Speaker 1: February fourth, I still see decorations. Take your frigging shit down.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of February is too far. I will give
Speaker 1: it looking at it. Yeah, people, And I know there's
Speaker 1: some people who keep their lights up because they can't
Speaker 1: keep taking them. Okay, you have your lights up, don't
Speaker 1: turn them on. Just leave them, but don't have the
Speaker 1: Santa waving at me with the reindeer with the frosty
Speaker 1: Get it down, it down. Yeah, oh god, that's freaky,
Speaker 1: but get that shit down. I'm tired of it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to see it anymore. I don't want it.
Speaker 1: I want everything down, go back to normal. I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that absolutely. Last year we took it down
Speaker 1: right away. But this year, but we also moved into
Speaker 1: this house right around Halloween, so we hadn't been in
Speaker 1: the house yet without decorations, like, we had not seen
Speaker 1: the house in its regular form. So I think on
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh or twenty we ripped it all down.
Speaker 1: This year, I like, I don't want my tree is
Speaker 1: like this beautiful tree. I don't want it looks so
Speaker 1: nice in the corner. I don't want to take it over.
Speaker 1: It looks so nice. I got the tree mote, click
Speaker 1: that thing it turns on. I went yes. So we
Speaker 1: went yesterday later in the day to hit some of
Speaker 1: the clearance sales rep for you know, bags on the
Speaker 1: clear and sales things are priced where they should be.
Speaker 1: Not in the current inflation world. It's like where they
Speaker 1: used to be priced. Okay, I went and got the
Speaker 1: tree mote for all the trees we have in the house.
Speaker 1: So what does that do? At one push? They all
Speaker 1: go on, Is that it? And it's all or said,
Speaker 1: I'm on the timer or what. But I needed them
Speaker 1: because I'm down to plug it in anymore. I can't kid,
Speaker 1: I just don't. I've earned the right to press the button.
Speaker 1: I don't need to lean over. But we had right
Speaker 1: I thought about that. We have because we have four
Speaker 1: trees now in the house, one in a basement, one
Speaker 1: a dining room, one in the foyer, and then one
Speaker 1: in the family room. So fancy, and you think I'm
Speaker 1: bending down to start clicking all those, but you get
Speaker 1: the kids to do it. I did do that, do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: But sometimes if I'm up before them, I like to
Speaker 1: just click it and look at it. When get my
Speaker 1: car offee in the morning. You know, you're so sentimental,
Speaker 1: I am. You're usually a heart ass, and now when
Speaker 1: Christmas comes, you're all soft different. So now I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you this before I get our guests in here.
Speaker 1: In about maybe two minutes or so. The little one
Speaker 1: woke up at three o'clock in the morning on Christmas Day,
Speaker 1: on Christmas even and the Christmas Day and was texting
Speaker 1: us on the iPad, can we get up? Can we
Speaker 1: get up? And you know, Liz had it on the
Speaker 1: sound so it was going I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And then my phone on vibrates going oh.
Speaker 1: She sent twenty three messages to me, fifteen to Liz
Speaker 1: and uh. They slept in the basement because we let
Speaker 1: the cat roam because I thought she would attack the presence.
Speaker 1: And five o'clock in the morning, she was so nervous
Speaker 1: she threw up. She threw up, why because she she
Speaker 1: was bothering you guys. She was so like, oh, with excitement,
Speaker 1: and she she said to Maddie, said, Maddie, I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw up, and went to the bathroom, threw up,
Speaker 1: and it was like I feel better now, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: stop it. So it was just funny, like three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning and we got up at like six
Speaker 1: twenty or something like that. Yeah, man, it was. She
Speaker 1: slept till ten o'clock the next day, long, till god
Speaker 1: ten o'clock. That's amazing. Hence why I fell asleep early
Speaker 1: last night, right, because we were just we're still beat
Speaker 1: from it. But yeah, I love it. I can't get
Speaker 1: enough of it. Was there a gift for your kids
Speaker 1: that stood out like they that they really wanted that
Speaker 1: they freaked out when they opened it this year? Not
Speaker 1: it wasn't like I think the Marquee huge gift. But
Speaker 1: they were just very satisfied with everything they got. Like
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's just been like pushed to the
Speaker 1: side or oh yeah, you know whatever, Like uh, bre
Speaker 1: wanted the Louis House. We got her abe Louis House,
Speaker 1: not the lights and sound like supreme o house. We
Speaker 1: got her like a Carrie case little one. Okay. Maddy
Speaker 1: wanted new Catcher's gear, you know, like you want to
Speaker 1: just dance for the Switches dance. So it was. It
Speaker 1: was a really good holl I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the best ones ever.
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's great. I'm glad you guys had a
Speaker 1: good time. Thank you, and the kids were happy. And
Speaker 1: hopefully twenty twenty three is better for everyone. Oh I
Speaker 1: needed to be better. This has been This year has
Speaker 1: had a lot of a lot of shit sandwiches, I
Speaker 1: mean passed down the old chain and I don't like
Speaker 1: any shit sandwiches. I like to have a nice, clean,
Speaker 1: regular sandwiches. It just I don't know. There were parts
Speaker 1: of it that were just more annoying than it needed
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, well, there are certain things you can
Speaker 1: have no control over, so you have to go with
Speaker 1: the flow, as they say. But I want to make
Speaker 1: some moves in twenty twenty three. I want to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to shake things up. So we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna try and collab and get that going, and please
Speaker 1: shake shake it up. Shaking it up, baby, I'm making moves.
Speaker 1: I'm taking names, emails, everything. I can't work for the
Speaker 1: man anymore. Okay, I want to work for myself. I
Speaker 1: can't do that here. I want to work for the man.
Speaker 1: I want to work for I'll work for you too.
Speaker 1: You're you're on a short list of people I work for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I'm easy. No. I just feel like there's such
Speaker 1: a market out there that we have not tapped. But

Speaker 1: I like virtuals. They are just the most laid back,
Speaker 1: easy work that you could ever do, honestly, and the
Speaker 1: interactions great and the wheel makes it so much better.

Speaker 1: year we're adding wedges and different prizes. It's just gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. So that's wonderful. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually you might find this interesting. I was told by
Speaker 1: somebody this past week that because these virtuals are so
Speaker 1: like popular now and how how everybody's different on these kinds,
Speaker 1: like you're you're always the same, but like how people
Speaker 1: open up more that like video services are looking at
Speaker 1: the virtuals to purchase the rights to the story, like
Speaker 1: the stuff in like if you tell a story, they
Speaker 1: could sell the video to whomever and they clip it
Speaker 1: and put up the video get out of here. I'm
Speaker 1: certain there's starting to become a market for that doing that.
Speaker 1: Oh good lord, God knows what I said last year,

Speaker 1: a wonderful picture. That's in the men's bathroom over at
Speaker 1: this We have about five more minutes. Five minutes. It's
Speaker 1: tarty ladies, a couple of minutes later than supposed to pop.
Speaker 1: On back to Christmas if I can. I went to
Speaker 1: church Christmas Eve. I thought about church and did not
Speaker 1: go terrible. Okay, did you have any problems in the
Speaker 1: parking lot this year? I did not know. I actually
Speaker 1: got a great spot and backed in, which I hate
Speaker 1: to do. I hate backing into spot me too, first time,
Speaker 1: like a glove, right in and went there. It was
Speaker 1: the loudest, the most distracting service I have ever been
Speaker 1: to in my life. Babies, every baby in the county
Speaker 1: was in that church. Nice. It was people and it
Speaker 1: was funny too. And I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: last time you went to church, if they if they
Speaker 1: said something like this, but they did like these preambles
Speaker 1: multiple times about non Catholics being in the service and
Speaker 1: making sure they don't come up for communion. Oh stop it.
Speaker 1: It was twice and I couldn't and it was like
Speaker 1: long drawn out like please, you know, respect the Catholic
Speaker 1: you know, way blah blah blah. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I've never heard that at a church service. But the babies,
Speaker 1: Holy shit, I don't like that. Every it was weird.
Speaker 1: Everybody should be welcome to worship God. And I mean,
Speaker 1: I know Catholicism, man, is that there's too many rules.
Speaker 1: There's so many rules. You know. I still am on
Speaker 1: the fence about it, and I'm adamant about getting my
Speaker 1: kids their sacraments, and I still didn't do it this
Speaker 1: year because we're like, oh, should we call the priest, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we should call the priest, and then you know, August
Speaker 1: became September, September became October, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: should we just call them? Like at the end of
Speaker 1: next summer and then we'll just because CCD is a
Speaker 1: whole year thing, you have to do it from September,
Speaker 1: and so by the time we got around to it,
Speaker 1: it was too late. And then I said, if they
Speaker 1: go to CCD and they don't let them get their
Speaker 1: services this year, I'm going to be pretty pissed off,
Speaker 1: like the sacraments. So I figure, Okay, I'll try to
Speaker 1: get it done next year. But I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: on the fence about Catholicism anymore. Like I want to
Speaker 1: worship somewhere and I want to I want to do something,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't know. I mean, do you,
Speaker 1: as a Catholic, do you believe in everything? Because I don't.
Speaker 1: I guess I just kind of do what they they say.
Speaker 1: They weren't insane, no, Like they weren't like saying anything negative,
Speaker 1: like you know, you're not welcome here. They were saying
Speaker 1: you are welcome, but just don't think about coming up
Speaker 1: for communion because it's not your saying stay where you are,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. Like our whole entire pew
Speaker 1: when we got up for communion, everybody sat, yeah, so
Speaker 1: they are welcoming. But I follow it as much as
Speaker 1: I can. When they change, like the prayers around they
Speaker 1: I don't know any of the periers. I don't know
Speaker 1: any of them anymore. No, I and you go to
Speaker 1: church regularly, don't you regularly? Compared to others? We go
Speaker 1: a little bit more off, but not a lot. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. If you miss a week
Speaker 1: or two and then you go back, do you receive
Speaker 1: communion without going to confirmation? Yes? Wrong? Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, But I mean what am I going to do?
Speaker 1: You should not go to communion? Well, if you are
Speaker 1: a practicing Catholic and following everything you you, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's you're committing a sin in their eyes. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: sinning like a mofo because it's never never. I haven't
Speaker 1: been to any kind of confession, probably since Catholic confirmation
Speaker 1: eighth grade. Maybe I got I got a sinful body
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. I got a body of sin.
Speaker 1: I'm dripping in sin right about now. Oh, you're terrible.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even go to church if I were you.
Speaker 1: You're you're breaking all the laws. That's a great tag
Speaker 1: line for a for a wrestler. I'm dripping in sin
Speaker 1: from baby, that's a shirt. A shirt I think of
Speaker 1: the pwts put that from my name, Where's Where's sinister? Minister?
Speaker 1: That sounds like something that could be. I just saw
Speaker 1: him give me a big, big smooch. Did he have
Speaker 1: an eyebrows curled? Yeah? They were I think so. But
Speaker 1: he was coming we were waiting Grilla and he was
Speaker 1: coming through, and he was like sweaty from being out there,
Speaker 1: and I was just kept ready to walk out your
Speaker 1: guests right on, all the sweat. I took it all in.
Speaker 1: Give it to me. I love it. What you know
Speaker 1: you got. You got a chance to watch the pay
Speaker 1: per view after we watched the match on Patreon last week,
Speaker 1: I did, what'd you think of the entire show? Was
Speaker 1: there any match that you didn't see that you were like,
Speaker 1: Oh I wish I stayed for that, or oh my
Speaker 1: that wasn't I didn't see that when I was when
Speaker 1: it was happening. No. I laughed at what Raven did?
Speaker 1: He He is morphing into Gabe kaplan. Okay, what did
Speaker 1: he do? Let me let me elaborate. He did a
Speaker 1: thing where there was a four way right and it
Speaker 1: was all indie guys. I didn't know any of them,
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest. Then they announced Raven. So he
Speaker 1: comes out and he does his signature thing right, and
Speaker 1: he gets his chair and he sits at the top
Speaker 1: of the ramp. Never walks in it, never comes to
Speaker 1: the ring, never walks in the ramb. He just sits
Speaker 1: there and he's watching the matches right. Then, when the
Speaker 1: matches are done one by one, the kids walk by them,
Speaker 1: the guys walk by them, and he critiques them and
Speaker 1: he rates them one a scale from zero to ten.
Speaker 1: But he does stand up in the middle of it
Speaker 1: and he sounds like freaking Gabe Kaplan when he was
Speaker 1: a welcome back odder. Really it's hilarious. He's like, eh,
Speaker 1: I liked your ring jacket, but you were kind of
Speaker 1: the shits out there thumbs down. I give you a
Speaker 1: four doing this during the match. No, at the end
Speaker 1: of the match, each guy walks by him to go
Speaker 1: to the dressing room. Okay, so as we're going through
Speaker 1: the curtain, he stops them because he's right there. As
Speaker 1: soon as you come out of Gorilla, there's the ramp.
Speaker 1: He sits at the top of the ramp and he's
Speaker 1: but he's doing this for the crowd. Yes, Oh, that's
Speaker 1: so weird. That's what he did. That was his contribution
Speaker 1: to the show. And it was hilarious. And I watch you,
Speaker 1: I go he's morphing into Gabe Kaplan like it was
Speaker 1: so welcome by hilarious. Was there anything that you felt?
Speaker 1: Did you feel bad for any of those I felt
Speaker 1: there for all of us because there were no ring
Speaker 1: steps and the way we all got in the ring,
Speaker 1: you could tell we were old as hell. Are you
Speaker 1: old or are you a veteran? You're grizzled, grizzled old veteran. Yeah,
Speaker 1: grizzled old. Bet all right, Well, our guest has decided
Speaker 1: to join us. Now, our guest is a big wrestling fan,
Speaker 1: but I don't think that he ever expected to hear
Speaker 1: Raven compare to Gabe Kaplan before he came on the airy.
Speaker 1: Do you know who Raven is? Okay? So we did
Speaker 1: a big I don't know if you're an ecwre okay perfect.
Speaker 1: So we did a big reunion show a couple of
Speaker 1: weekends ago at the Arena and I was telling Chad
Speaker 1: while I was there, Raven did a thing where he
Speaker 1: just comes down and he sits at the top of
Speaker 1: the ramp and he's watching this four way that's going
Speaker 1: on with these indie guys. But after the match is over,
Speaker 1: each guy has to walk by Raven and he critiques them.
Speaker 1: And this was Raven's contribution. But he did stand up.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like a stand up and I've
Speaker 1: seen the stand up. I said, he's morphing into Gabe Kaplan.
Speaker 1: He sounds like Gabe Kaplan and he was just doing
Speaker 1: one liners like he would do and welcome back on
Speaker 1: her and it was hilarious. I had the pleasure of
Speaker 1: bringing Raven to our club here in Rochester and I
Speaker 1: had the honor of playing the their drum during one
Speaker 1: of his sets. There's a there's a picture of it
Speaker 1: on my Instagram. I was on the stage behind him
Speaker 1: his entire set, just going bo, what's he funny? It
Speaker 1: was a great night, Fran say, it was a great night.
Speaker 1: So we cannot confirm nor deny about his ability to
Speaker 1: tell jokes and be funny. He could tell them, okay,
Speaker 1: the delivery. I think that Raven is a funny, quirky guy. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a very bizarre show, okay, like
Speaker 1: because you don't know what you're gonna expect, like you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of wrestlers do like more from
Speaker 1: the world of stand up or do one man shows,
Speaker 1: and Raven's is the closest to just trying to do
Speaker 1: a stand up act, apart from like Dolf Ziggler, because
Speaker 1: Raven is just joke joke, joke joke, exactly like you said. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if you're not expecting that and you're like a
Speaker 1: wrestling fan, I don't think a lot of people give
Speaker 1: him the chance he needs to get behind what he does.
Speaker 1: So like it's it's different, it's a different style that
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody's ready for. I just sat there.
Speaker 1: I was laughing my ass off because I didn't I
Speaker 1: think I left before this debacle happened. So I was
Speaker 1: just watching it back when I got home, and I'm
Speaker 1: just saying to myself, well, what a gig you didn't
Speaker 1: You don't even walk to the ring. You just sit
Speaker 1: there on a on a folding chair and you tell
Speaker 1: people they suck or you hit on their valets. It
Speaker 1: was great, it was it was a good time. I
Speaker 1: would love to book him to do a comedy show
Speaker 1: if he just sits there at the side of the
Speaker 1: stage waits for the comics to come off and tell
Speaker 1: he just did that. I mean, he'll do it. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he'll do it for a payday, why not. But
Speaker 1: enough about him, Let's talk about you. Yeah, welcome. Let
Speaker 1: me introduce you guys before you get going. Vinnie. This
Speaker 1: is the Queen of Extreme, Queen of Extreme. This is
Speaker 1: Vinnie Paulino, who I had just connected to through our
Speaker 1: great friend Hughesy. But also I listened to Vinnie on
Speaker 1: who were these podcasts? Which is a great show that
Speaker 1: hughs he talked about every time he comes on the
Speaker 1: air with us, talk about all this stuff. I had
Speaker 1: to get vide on with us because Vinnie he's a
Speaker 1: great personality. I think he fits in well with eyes
Speaker 1: up here. Well, I'm honestly honored to be here. When
Speaker 1: Chad sent me the message yesterday inviting me on, I
Speaker 1: was shocked, and I spent the last twenty four hours
Speaker 1: thinking about how I could build like a time machine
Speaker 1: and go back and just give seventeen year old me
Speaker 1: a high five, like I just thought to be like
Speaker 1: you did it, Butterball, way to go. Welcome to my world.
Speaker 1: It's pretty great. I'm glad to be here. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, how was your holiday? Do you celebrate? Do
Speaker 1: we do Christmas in your household? Oh? Absolutely? Was it
Speaker 1: a good one. My wife and I have the best
Speaker 1: Christmas every year because we alternate. Her family's from Alabama
Speaker 1: and we live up in New York, so every year
Speaker 1: we alternate, we go down there. We're up here. The
Speaker 1: Christmas in New York is the best. Nothing against her family,
Speaker 1: but we just stay home. We don't deal with anybody else.
Speaker 1: There's no kids in my house. The booze is flowing,
Speaker 1: watching movies. We're having a great time. Yeah, Christmas rules
Speaker 1: a buy house. Nice. Okay, Well, I'm glad you had
Speaker 1: a good holiday, your majesty, Mine was nice. I do
Speaker 1: have children, but you know, booze can flow if we
Speaker 1: wanted it to, just doesn't flow as much as probably
Speaker 1: yours does because I do have to take care of
Speaker 1: other human beings. You know. The nice thing about kids
Speaker 1: I hear is that you could have them bring it
Speaker 1: to you once they reach a certain age. Yeah. They
Speaker 1: I don't think my kids are going to mix cocktails
Speaker 1: for me, but they can go to the refrigerator and
Speaker 1: grab a can or you know, a Seltzer or something
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, they're there's a great thing. You
Speaker 1: get to watch them grow. I do. I love my children,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're good kids. But again, enough about everybody else.
Speaker 1: I want to discuss you all right, So you have
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on. Huge put you over
Speaker 1: big time, like you're the best things in Slice Bride,
Speaker 1: I said, well, I have to meet this guy because
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really know he's wrong, but
Speaker 1: I thank him. I think him Slice Bread is pretty good.
Speaker 1: I want to hear about your comedy club first. Okay,
Speaker 1: I do not own a comedy club. A lot of
Speaker 1: people think I do. I just have a lot of
Speaker 1: pride in my workplace. I worked for comedy at the
Speaker 1: Carlson Yes in Rochester, New York. It's an amazing stand
Speaker 1: up club. It's one of the best in the country.
Speaker 1: We have. We get acts that don't really play clubs
Speaker 1: that come and do our club because they like it
Speaker 1: so much. So it's a weird, out of the way
Speaker 1: place in Rochester, New York. But it's like working in
Speaker 1: Disneyland if you love stand up comedy. I love Disney Love.
Speaker 1: I recently just went to it might have been my
Speaker 1: first ever comedy show. It was Sebastian Maniscalpo. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I saw him at Borgata. Yeah. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: it would have to be at a pretty big venue.
Speaker 1: That guy is killing it. Yeah, he was really funny.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. And I said to my girlfriend, because
Speaker 1: you know, every two or three months we have a
Speaker 1: girl's night out, and I said, I kind of dig
Speaker 1: stand up, Like I've watched a million of them on
Speaker 1: like specials, but I've never been there in person. Really,
Speaker 1: You've never gone to like a club just to go. No,
Speaker 1: never did. And Borgot has sent me the tickets for
Speaker 1: free because like some of these prices were like five
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars and I was like, no offense.
Speaker 1: He's very funny, but I don't think I'd spend five
Speaker 1: fifty on a ticket. But he was worth it was
Speaker 1: worth going. He was really funny. Yeah, he is one
Speaker 1: of those guys who studied his craft for years and
Speaker 1: years and found his voice. And he's one of those
Speaker 1: guys like he's very authentic, Like when you watch et Cetric,
Speaker 1: this is him, this is the guy, and it's it's
Speaker 1: a really magical thing the way it kind of clicked because,
Speaker 1: like you said, five hundred and fifty dollars tickets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how I heard of that is for a stand up
Speaker 1: comedian to be able to charge it? Is that outreageous
Speaker 1: for stand up call I mean, you know, we work
Speaker 1: at a great club and we have amazing acts coming through,
Speaker 1: like national headliners, and we charged twenty bucks, twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1: It counted twenty dollars night out right there. I think
Speaker 1: I think, maybe get away from the Bogata and go
Speaker 1: check out your local stand up club, Franccene, you might
Speaker 1: dig it, I'm sure. Well, like I said, the tickets
Speaker 1: were free, and I just said, oh, let's give it
Speaker 1: a try, you know. But I definitely would look into
Speaker 1: it in the future because it was a good time.
Speaker 1: I liked it. It was fun. I can't remember the
Speaker 1: opening act, but he was funny. But Sebastian was really well.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to go down to Jim Florentine at
Speaker 1: the Borgatta during COVID, but I remember the show got
Speaker 1: canceled like two times rights right, so when we have
Speaker 1: Flarin Yeah, yeah, we had Jim on the show and
Speaker 1: we were saying, you know, next time you come to Borgata,
Speaker 1: maybe we can come see you, and he says, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take care of that, and then COVID hit and
Speaker 1: we didn't get the hit twice the two times he
Speaker 1: was supposed to be there, Yeah, getting delayed. So I
Speaker 1: loved Jim. He's one of my dear friends. I just
Speaker 1: did a couple of shows with him about two months ago.
Speaker 1: We just were up in Albany and in Syracuse. So
Speaker 1: when you do your stand up, what I noticed, like
Speaker 1: Sebastian was talking a lot about his kids, his wife.
Speaker 1: It was family, you know, the jokes were family. What
Speaker 1: is your stick? What do you talk about in your
Speaker 1: stand up? Well, I'm pretty much whipped. I talk about
Speaker 1: how much better of a person my wife is than
Speaker 1: me a lot. I do that a lot. Okay, she
Speaker 1: is because she legitimately is. So I don't mind making
Speaker 1: fun of myself. I'm a big target of a lot
Speaker 1: of my jokes. It just makes life easier because when
Speaker 1: you're just teasing and laughing about yourself, you know, people
Speaker 1: get on board with that and it's pretty easy. But
Speaker 1: mainly I don't really do a ton of observational stuff.
Speaker 1: But I've been working on not so much. Like I'm
Speaker 1: not don't think of George Carlin. But I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get a little bit more socially conscious that I talk
Speaker 1: about not in like a super PC way, but I
Speaker 1: have a lot of thoughts and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how to go from being super just about like
Speaker 1: story time, this is what happened to me my wife.
Speaker 1: Like that's why I like Sebastian because we do have
Speaker 1: a similar style. We both like to tell stories. So
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how to like make my
Speaker 1: my thoughts bigger on stage. Is that a weird thing
Speaker 1: to say? No, it's not weird. Do you ever experience
Speaker 1: like telling a story and it's kind of like a
Speaker 1: negative story but it's so funny that you have to
Speaker 1: tell it and you might offend either your wife or
Speaker 1: a family member? Like do you ever go into that
Speaker 1: darkness and uh, like you know give away secrets and
Speaker 1: well you can. But here here's the great thing. I'm worse.
Speaker 1: I'll make up shit about you. Oh okay, no, I
Speaker 1: mean not necessarily, but like you know, the thing is
Speaker 1: with Kawedy, like you have a lot of poetic license
Speaker 1: when you tell a story, so you can think soud worse.
Speaker 1: The baby it really was, So I may be guilty
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, I might be guilty of pepper eat
Speaker 1: things up a bit, right. Okay, So so the comedy store,
Speaker 1: you do you like, do you perform? Do you open
Speaker 1: for other acts? Like? What is what is the lineup
Speaker 1: that you usually have there? Well, I want to go
Speaker 1: to one of these things. Well, a general if you
Speaker 1: went to a comedy show, which you're going to see
Speaker 1: is probably a host. Then you'll see a middle act,
Speaker 1: and then you'll see your headliner. Uh. That's generally how
Speaker 1: they do it. So you probably see about three performers
Speaker 1: in a show. I'm usually I could do only all
Speaker 1: three of them. I mean sometimes I headline not as much.
Speaker 1: I'm no Jim Florentine, but you know, I like to. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm generally the middle guy most of the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand. Yeah, I'm a mid carter. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a great way to assess yourself, as if you're a
Speaker 1: self professed mid carter, then you you're already on the
Speaker 1: right track. But oh, but I'm a hell of a worker.
Speaker 1: I'm all worker. You know, current drugs, Benny, what do
Speaker 1: you see similarities between the comedy world and the wrestling world.
Speaker 1: Oh man h. There's a lot of intangible personality stuff
Speaker 1: I think is a big part of it. You're trying
Speaker 1: to get over in the same way like when you
Speaker 1: walk out onto a stage, you have to be bigger
Speaker 1: than life, Like you kind of have to be bigger
Speaker 1: than the audience, and you have to know how to
Speaker 1: present that to get anybody to pay attention to anything.
Speaker 1: You have to say, like anybody could walk up and
Speaker 1: talk into a microphone. It's how you present. And I
Speaker 1: think it's the same thing that you learn like when
Speaker 1: like I'm good friends with a lot of wrestlers and
Speaker 1: they tell me it's like over time you learn how
Speaker 1: to hold yourself and how to get that intangible what's
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for, charismatic the charisma that you
Speaker 1: need to be able to get people to look at
Speaker 1: you and say, I want to see what this person's
Speaker 1: about to do like that. There's a lot of that
Speaker 1: that's similar. It's a similar energy, I feel like. And
Speaker 1: then also you have to have to really get somewhere.
Speaker 1: You have to have some like skill trip up. I
Speaker 1: feel like like with myself, not the most confident person
Speaker 1: in real life, but when I would walk through the curtain,
Speaker 1: I would metamorphose myself in no one could touch me.
Speaker 1: I am the most brilliant, the most attractive, the most wonderful,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's it's you're playing a character. It's a transformation.
Speaker 1: And then when I would go back through the curtain,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, was that okay? I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I know you know, and I'm assuming it's the same
Speaker 1: way for you guys. You know that is every stand
Speaker 1: up comedy green room. Ever, how did I do that joke?
Speaker 1: What do you think of that joke? What? How do
Speaker 1: you like? If I were a stand up performer and
Speaker 1: I bombed a joke, I feel like I would cry,
Speaker 1: why how do you I don't know. I know it's
Speaker 1: part of the I know it's part of your whole thing.
Speaker 1: How do you recover? Like I always watch these shows
Speaker 1: and like most of them are comedians that are, you know,
Speaker 1: well known and established. But I've seen somewhere it just
Speaker 1: wasn't funny and they're getting hackled, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: would I would literally die. I would know about that.
Speaker 1: I would never know what it's like to bomb. Probably okay,
Speaker 1: but what is your advice, Like, what if I'm saying
Speaker 1: something and I bomb. What would you tell, like a
Speaker 1: new comedian, like, how do you how do you handle
Speaker 1: that when you're on stage? Well, anybody who you you
Speaker 1: would pay to see, you know, pay to see, doesn't
Speaker 1: want to bomb, and they've probably rehearsed their set and
Speaker 1: worked on their set for a very long time to
Speaker 1: get it to the point where they could perform it
Speaker 1: somewhere professionally. And when you're in that scenario and something
Speaker 1: you say bombs, you have to own it and you
Speaker 1: have to have something to follow it. And generally it's like, well,
Speaker 1: there goes that joke or just something anything you could
Speaker 1: do just to own that you screwed up. It kind
Speaker 1: of ingratiates yourself to the audience because they go, well,
Speaker 1: at least he knows he sucked. The worst thing you
Speaker 1: could do is stick your head down and just keep
Speaker 1: telling jokes. That's what it gets weird off. So I
Speaker 1: guess my advice would be is just owed it immediately
Speaker 1: and have a sense of humor about it. Or yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably are going to get nobody's gonna laugh at
Speaker 1: you the rest of your set. Yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's not even that you would never use it again.
Speaker 1: It's that you can, you know, polish it, you could
Speaker 1: fix it. Or maybe one night it's a joke that
Speaker 1: normally works and you go to deliver it and it
Speaker 1: comes out wrong. Maybe it's the inflection, Maybe it's how
Speaker 1: you set up the other joke. Because like every time
Speaker 1: you perform, you want it to feel organic. You want
Speaker 1: to go out there and do stand up so it
Speaker 1: feels like you're just talking to the people that are
Speaker 1: in that room that night or that arena for Sebastian.
Speaker 1: You want to make it feel like like that you're
Speaker 1: presented to you folks. So if i do something that's
Speaker 1: really horrible and I'm standing in a room with like
Speaker 1: one hundred people, a hundred people just judge me all
Speaker 1: at once, and I need to like own that shit
Speaker 1: because because it's really easy to turn off your attention
Speaker 1: span with SOA does something terrible unless you're like me
Speaker 1: or carl On, who are these podcasts that we just go, oh,
Speaker 1: let's just sky Bob that we get really excited. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: you know what it's like though, I want to compare
Speaker 1: it to wrestling, so it's like you're recovering from a
Speaker 1: joke that bomb is the same way. Maybe you guys
Speaker 1: miss a spot and you have to either find a
Speaker 1: way to cover it up or get back to where
Speaker 1: you needed to be to make the next thing happen.
Speaker 1: You guys have to be quick on your feet. And
Speaker 1: that's an awesome similarity I think between the wrestling world
Speaker 1: and the comedy world. You guys got to be smart
Speaker 1: and you got to be able to adapt quickly. I
Speaker 1: haven't thought of it that way, Chad, You're right because
Speaker 1: you know the reality is just like with wrestling, you
Speaker 1: know the next spot is coming up, you gotta get
Speaker 1: ready for it, right, that's true. How often do you
Speaker 1: guys run at your comedy club? Well? I our club
Speaker 1: runs every weekend, okay, yeah, we're open all year, and
Speaker 1: I travel and go wherever I need to go to perform,
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm on the road sometimes sometimes i'm here.
Speaker 1: I love comedy. I'll go wherever they need me. Awesome.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your podcast because you have a couple
Speaker 1: of them. You're on a couple of different ones, right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm a part of who are these podcasts? It's actually
Speaker 1: my friend Carl's show. Okay. Carl is the host of
Speaker 1: that and he brings me. He has a different guest
Speaker 1: host every week, so I'm on all the time. I'm
Speaker 1: on quite a bit. But there's a lot of us
Speaker 1: that do that show. But Carl and I do a
Speaker 1: show together. Do you like true crime? Francene? Are you
Speaker 1: a true crime fan? So Ever? Since I became a mother,
Speaker 1: I don't watch anything to do with death, okay, because
Speaker 1: it freaks me. So I can't watch horror movies anymore.
Speaker 1: I can't watch the news because if I hear about
Speaker 1: a shooting or like somebody died, I freak out. So okay, no, okay,
Speaker 1: but I would listen because of you. I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't listen, fran Scene. I do a show called The
Speaker 1: Creep Off, And after hearing that out of your mouth,
Speaker 1: never listen to it, promised me. Now, you'll never listen
Speaker 1: to it? What is't? What is it? Tell me? Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: I kind of hate true crime? Okay, I kind of
Speaker 1: hate it. I hate the way true crime shows. You know,
Speaker 1: how do I wet this? They take advantage of, like
Speaker 1: the situations. If you ever listen to Nancy Grace's show,
Speaker 1: like every week it's about like some ladies kids are
Speaker 1: missing it and presumed dead, and she has the lots like, so,
Speaker 1: what's in lock? Having children missing? Are they? Does that
Speaker 1: feel bad? Your heart must be breaking right now. It's
Speaker 1: breaking right now, isn't it? Tell me how hard it hurts?
Speaker 1: She just tries to get these people to cry, and
Speaker 1: that's like terrible, and they just take advantage of true crime.
Speaker 1: Now my show, as a comediant, I came up with
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous way to present true crime that one
Speaker 1: possibly could was my idea for this show. So Carl
Speaker 1: and I every week have a contest our listeners pick
Speaker 1: a category. This last episode we recorded yesterday was creep
Speaker 1: of the Year twenty twenty two, so we had to yeah,
Speaker 1: creep of the year. We each work like reverse lawyers,
Speaker 1: so like we'll say my guy was the creepiest person
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two that I'll tell you everything that
Speaker 1: he did, and then Carl will present his creep and
Speaker 1: tell you what they did, and we argue over whose
Speaker 1: person is worse, and then we let the internet vote
Speaker 1: decide who wins, and then we have this, We have
Speaker 1: a terrible wheel of consequences. First person of five wins,
Speaker 1: loser has to spin the wheel, and that's not fun.
Speaker 1: So we decided to take true crime and make it
Speaker 1: really kind of silly. So waite, if you spin the wheel,
Speaker 1: is it like a daror thing like you have to
Speaker 1: do something bad? Oh? Yeah, it's not fun. I just
Speaker 1: lost the other time you have to spin the wheel,
Speaker 1: did you spin it? Well, I don't have to spend
Speaker 1: the wheel yet because I'm still in the lead. The
Speaker 1: last time I spun the wheel, I had to get
Speaker 1: a job at a fast food restaurant and work a shift.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, yeah exactly. And this is all being filmed.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did all sorts of stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I had to jump into I had to do the
Speaker 1: polar plunge last year. I had to jump into the
Speaker 1: lake in the middle of winter. I would love this show.
Speaker 1: But if you don't like, if you can't at Murder
Speaker 1: of Children, I wouldn't recommend listening. Well I can. I
Speaker 1: listen towards the end where it's not where that's what
Speaker 1: it's the worst. That's when it gets the worst. I
Speaker 1: want to see you jumping into the into the minus
Speaker 1: twenty degree. I will send you the I will send
Speaker 1: you some footage from that. Yeah, I would. I followed
Speaker 1: you back by the way, on Twitter, So yeah, who
Speaker 1: followed me? I did, Oh, that's pretty exclusive club that
Speaker 1: that time of shade. I need that time shape. Who
Speaker 1: followed me? So I said, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: push that little follow back button and now we're like friends,
Speaker 1: Vinny a day, we are friends. So all right, So
Speaker 1: that's the one podcast. What's the other one about? Well,
Speaker 1: I do a show called The Comedy at the Carlson Cast.
Speaker 1: That's I'm actually in my studio right now inside of
Speaker 1: the club. Every week, the headliners that come through our club,
Speaker 1: they come into my studio and we do an interview
Speaker 1: kind of about where they're at, what they're working on
Speaker 1: their material. You know, where they've been, what they're doing,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of fun. I have had some
Speaker 1: amazing people. I never thought a million years I would
Speaker 1: have come and sit on the couch and just chat
Speaker 1: with me. I was pulling up one of your videos.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just I've had I'm trying to go
Speaker 1: down this list because it's it's really crazy. I had
Speaker 1: Gilbert Godfred on the show multiple times. Oh what a
Speaker 1: catch that was. Yeah, I mean god, I had Marlon
Speaker 1: Wayans on. I've had Colin Quinn just amazing corush On Quinn.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I loved him on remote control.
Speaker 1: Next time I see him, I'm going to tell him
Speaker 1: that who I am. But I mean, I I was,
Speaker 1: oh is this oh man? That was a weird weekend.
Speaker 1: So that was a weekend we had, uh that Skippy
Speaker 1: price from Family Ties. I was just it was that's great.
Speaker 1: Do you meet all these people just through the comedy
Speaker 1: scene or do you stalk them on social media? Comedy scene? Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, the great thing about my show is I
Speaker 1: don't have to do any of the booking, the club books.
Speaker 1: They're they're headliners, and it's like, hey, listen, this is
Speaker 1: part of the press tour. It's a pretty amazing opportunity
Speaker 1: for me because like they'll go do morning television. They'll
Speaker 1: go do like a morning show, then they'll go do
Speaker 1: some radio, and then they come on the end of
Speaker 1: their day at my podcast and we sit down and
Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee. There's Michael ian Black, Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we just have a silly old time. That's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's a cool show that's called The Carlson Cast.
Speaker 1: You can find it anywhere. Yeah, the Carlson cast interesting.
Speaker 1: I hope maybe if we get booked somewhere in New York.
Speaker 1: I haven't been the Rochester there since ECW. That's one
Speaker 1: that doesn't really wrestling's not really a running rampant through Rochester.
Speaker 1: The are you are? You? Are you mad? We love
Speaker 1: wrestling in Rochester. We got to own conventions in Rochester.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Well, might love it, but there's
Speaker 1: not much going on. I could tell you things that
Speaker 1: I've put on here that we've sold out, that we're
Speaker 1: just geared towards wrestling fans. We'll have a bigger conversation afterwards. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll do lots of fun stuff. Twenty twenty three is
Speaker 1: my ear, Finny. You know, I'm going on tour and
Speaker 1: I'm doing lots of things. So you can talk to
Speaker 1: the right fella. Maybe Rochester might be on my my
Speaker 1: list of places to visit. Know how to pick them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't talk about where I'm located because some of
Speaker 1: these fans are a little crazy, and so are you.
Speaker 1: Like East coast, West coast? Where what are the coordinates,
Speaker 1: address frames, address phone number, last week social I can
Speaker 1: talk to you later about all that, don't we don't
Speaker 1: really put that out here on the on the podcast,
Speaker 1: I assumed, Yeah, yeah, I've had people show up at
Speaker 1: my door before and it wasn't fun. You know. I've
Speaker 1: often thought because over the last few years, I kind
Speaker 1: of I got to know Conrad Thompson a little bit,
Speaker 1: so He's invited me to some stuff, and I've gone
Speaker 1: to some of those conventions and I've hung out and
Speaker 1: I just kind of watched. You have a real interested you.
Speaker 1: You have to have it kind of weird. It's got
Speaker 1: to be really off putting for you, isn't it. Let's
Speaker 1: put it this way. I did Russell Caid in November.
Speaker 1: Is that the one in South Carolina, North Carolina, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: Winston Salem. And one of the tweets that was put
Speaker 1: out morning of was a list of things that the
Speaker 1: fans needed to do in order to attend, and one
Speaker 1: of them was where deodorant? Hey vital I was at
Speaker 1: Flair's last match, and if I was writing the rules,
Speaker 1: I would have said walk through a car wash would
Speaker 1: have been my rule before you got it there. I
Speaker 1: don't The fans are so very sweet. I love everybody
Speaker 1: comes out to these things, but I don't understand how
Speaker 1: you don't shower or wear deodorant or just fresh all
Speaker 1: the things like take over death. And it's especially because
Speaker 1: like you're paying money to go meet people that you like,
Speaker 1: admired and that you want to meet, and you're like,
Speaker 1: they don't care. When when when I get a guy
Speaker 1: who smells good, I tell them, oh my god, you
Speaker 1: smell amazing. I'm not used to it. That's my rule.
Speaker 1: I always try to smell good, smell. I'm a big guy.
Speaker 1: I'm a big guy, and like, that's my biggest fear
Speaker 1: is the stink. I don't want to ever smell bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be the worst. Well, it's people judge me enough.
Speaker 1: I don't need that's smelly. To the adjectives who came on,
Speaker 1: it wasn't Vince Brusso, Yeah said it. He says to me,
Speaker 1: how do you put your arms around the smelly marks?
Speaker 1: That was it, Vince. They're very sweet, they're good guys.
Speaker 1: Some of them are high not so good. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Okay, let's let's break this up. He's like,
Speaker 1: because now I need to know, and I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: put you on the hot seat on your own show,
Speaker 1: but I do an interview show myself. So I have
Speaker 1: a very naturally curious person. That's sure. What is the
Speaker 1: weirdest thing a fan has ever said to you at
Speaker 1: one of those conventions? What's the weirdest thing that just
Speaker 1: made you go, I need to take a step back
Speaker 1: away from you. And the fact that you have to
Speaker 1: think this log frightens me. She's very good, though, Vinnie.
Speaker 1: She's very good with the fans. I mean she's she's
Speaker 1: one of the best, i'd say, and being able to
Speaker 1: kind of absorb it. So this, yeah, this is pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: I know how to wrangle people like I can shuffle
Speaker 1: people around. And I remember one time. This wasn't words,
Speaker 1: this was this was a guy of this is I'm
Speaker 1: not making fun. Okay, I'm not making fun. I'll do it.
Speaker 1: I'll make the thing. I came over to the to
Speaker 1: the table and he had what would you call it,
Speaker 1: like a gimp arm or like a dead arm, A
Speaker 1: good the arm was just hanging there. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to make fun anymore. No, I don't make fun
Speaker 1: of it. I don't make fun of people. God bless them.
Speaker 1: You know. I felt bad for him, so I was nice,
Speaker 1: like I am to everybody else, and he says, can
Speaker 1: we take a picture? And I said absolutely, and I'm
Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I'm I'm not rubbing his back,
Speaker 1: but I had my hand on his shoulder and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, okay, take the picture. His good arm proceeded
Speaker 1: to slide down my body and cut my ass cheek
Speaker 1: and swing me, and I said uh. And of course
Speaker 1: my handler was on the phone texting and playing a
Speaker 1: game or something, so they didn't catch that. So this
Speaker 1: guy that I felt really bad for proceeded to grope me,
Speaker 1: and there was no one around to help me, so
Speaker 1: I grabbed his good arm and I kind of twisted
Speaker 1: it that we got the money first, which was great
Speaker 1: he got you should charge more for the as squeeze
Speaker 1: for it. I think. I just I felt so incredibly
Speaker 1: sorry for him, and then I hated his guts because
Speaker 1: I was just like, you don't do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Like nowadays people will say, can I put my arm
Speaker 1: around you? Is it okay? If I put my arm, Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you could put your arm around me as long as
Speaker 1: you stay above the hip. I'm good. Sure, you know,
Speaker 1: I just don't don't grab. But I was like, of
Speaker 1: all people, I didn't expect him to do something. Well,
Speaker 1: he clipped the He clipped the gimp arm off when
Speaker 1: he walked away, like he got around the corner and
Speaker 1: he hit the little button and the gimp arm came down.
Speaker 1: His other arm came back and got her again. And
Speaker 1: then somebody brought me an egg plant as a present. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was like, what am I gonna do with this?
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, I went to the organic farmer's market.
Speaker 1: I thought of you, and I brought an eggplant. Did
Speaker 1: they not have flowers at this markets? Wow? That was
Speaker 1: Remember last last March at big event, the guy gave you,
Speaker 1: like the big piece of cake, Jerry, Jerry SAgs, looks over.
Speaker 1: He goes, I wouldn't eat that if I were you.
Speaker 1: It was so he was from Japan and he had
Speaker 1: brought me perfume and this big giant piece of cake,
Speaker 1: and it looked delicious. But I don't. I won't eat
Speaker 1: food that strangers bring me because what if they need? Yes, well,
Speaker 1: why would anybody do? But this cake, Vinny, this cake
Speaker 1: looked really good. It looked like the real deal. I'm
Speaker 1: right there with her. It looked like the real deal.
Speaker 1: But god knows what it was made with. That's all
Speaker 1: we'll say about that cake. Yeah, I bet knobs ate it.
Speaker 1: I didn't leave it. I think I put it under
Speaker 1: the table, so maybe somebody had taken it. But you know,
Speaker 1: you always get can I take you to dinner? And
Speaker 1: then I show them my wedding ring and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: my husband doesn't let me eat too bad? You know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of that way. But I could that ever
Speaker 1: work if you were not married? Would that ever work?
Speaker 1: Would there ever be a somebody who bought a ticket
Speaker 1: as a fan to come meet you? I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: was like, hey you dinner? No, but a black man
Speaker 1: did ask me if I ever had any black in
Speaker 1: me and what I want some? Oh, you know, I
Speaker 1: politely said, I'm married and thank you very much. That
Speaker 1: might have been the crudest thing somebody ever said. That
Speaker 1: is pretty crude. It was kind of crude. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that that's like the worst of it,
Speaker 1: because like, I don't know, I've stood in those lides
Speaker 1: and I've been around those lides and it just looks
Speaker 1: like a pirate chip is bording. They basically want to
Speaker 1: talk about angles what you did? And I met you
Speaker 1: do you remember me, and you'll look at them and
Speaker 1: you go, oh, no, you know I met you in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five. It was March twelfth. You had on
Speaker 1: that red sweater and I'm like, ah, I can't remember
Speaker 1: what I did yesterday. I can't remember ninety five. They
Speaker 1: just want to reminisce, and ninety percent of them are
Speaker 1: very sweet. So I guess I'm lucky. You know, not
Speaker 1: too many creepers. They're out there. You know who you
Speaker 1: are creepers. But you know, I might have to do
Speaker 1: a creepiest wrestling fan episode of The creep Off. If
