WEBVTT - Mike “Nova” Bucci is here! 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:09.560 All right, let's get it going right here and right now. 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.440 This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to a 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.720 brand new Eyes up Here, exclusively on our Patreon channel 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.720 and also simulcasts on the Creative Control Network. If you 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.200 didn't know by now, my name is Chad and every 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.600 single week I'm joined here by the host of the show, 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.840 The Bespeckled One, the Queen of Extreme Francine. Queen, you 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.880 have four eyes today instead of two. They are new. 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.519 Let me tell you something. I have been getting the 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:40.959 worst headaches, headaches on Fridays when we film, because I'm 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.680 sitting in front of a computer all day long, and 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:49.080 my other glasses are I'm near sighted, so they're for distance, right. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.040 And I went to the eye doctor a couple of 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.080 weeks ago and I told them, I said, every time 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:57.800 I wear my glasses, I get really dizzy looking at 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.280 the computer screen. But if I don't wear any thing, 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.880 I still get dizzy and I get really bad headaches. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.560 These are called computer glasses. So I had two options. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.520 I could either get a new prescription with my other 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.520 ones and have three. There were biphobals, but there were 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.039 three different things. You can have reading, which I don't 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:24.360 need reading glasses regular for distance, and then for the computer. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.280 So it was three levels. And I told them I 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.640 don't need reading I can see up close to no 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.759 problem right now. I'm not there yet, and they said, well, 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.640 then you need computer glasses. So these I only wear 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.080 when I am in front of a computer screen, or 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.279 I guess you can wear them in front of your eyepad. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.839 Do they have that like blue tint to them or something? 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.000 There's those like blue something glasses. They were recommending them 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.160 for the kids for the version. Yes, I saw a 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.240 calm optic or something. Yeah, something like that. I looked 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.640 it up, but I don't know how effective that is. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.640 You can get an extra tint on these. But here's 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.640 the kicker. With my insurance, these are excuse me, thirty 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.760 seven thirty eight dollars. The extra coating was eighty five dollars. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.840 Oh my god. And I said, listen, I only wear 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.880 them on Fridays. I don't really think I need an 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.079 extra coating, so I didn't. I cheaped out and I 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.320 didn't get the extra but this is the first time 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.560 I'm ever wearing them. Oh oh, I look good. Well, thanks, 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.880 and I'm hoping that the headaches go away. And it 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.040 helps me. So yes, I am. I'm librried out, Libryan. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.320 They're quite reflective. They're like my sunglasses on the top. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.440 I have my ring, my light ring here. I know, 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.840 let me try and move that back a little. I 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.280 don't worry. It's all good. I did. I want to say, 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.799 like two or three weeks ago, I recorded the Triple 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.400 Threat podcast at like eleven thirty at night. Okay, so 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.880 I mean I'm half dead, and me and Shane literally 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.320 looked like we were about to like keel over. So 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.160 I had to put my glasses on, right, But I 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.720 have very thick, thick lenses because my eyes are the shits. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.600 They are just they're useless. It was so you couldn't 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.919 even see I had eyeballs. My glass is so thick, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.000 and the way the light was reflecting off of them, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.640 I looked like I was like Max Headroom style, like 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.200 I couldn't see coke bottle. Yeah, you couldn't. You couldn't see. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.480 You couldn't see what was underneath there. I could have 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.679 been like this the whole time, like I'm like drugs. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.160 We were like, oh my God, got me out of here. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.120 I was like, dear God, I'm ready to kiel over 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.919 and go to sleep. Yeah, that's how it was. But 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.160 so we got some bad news in my family this 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:32.200 week as well. My sister has COVID. Oh and she's older, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.000 which kay freaks me out. She's I think sixty she'll 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:41.320 be sixty eight, I think. And she called me yesterday 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.080 and told me we're not telling my mom because my 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.920 mom will flip out. Right, she was supposed to actually 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.560 come over. Now, we haven't seen anybody in my family 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.800 since Christmas time. My brother came over once and stayed 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.200 outside on my porch and talked to us through the door. 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.840 That was it, because yeah, because we're because my mom. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.120 Just my my sister called me and she was like, 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.800 I want to come over and visit mommy because we 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.760 you know, December. So I was like okay. Then she 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:15.160 tells me. Before the weekend came, she called me and said, well, 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:21.200 a lady in work her husband has corona and he's 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.279 in the hospital with pneumonia and he's in ICU. Oh. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.000 So I was like, holy moly. Okay. So she's like, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.920 I don't want to come. So I was like, yeah, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.039 I don't think you should come, you know. So here 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.159 the wife got it apparently she works with my sister. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.159 She gave it to my sister, So now everybody and 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.679 over there needs to be tested. So they're all getting tested. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.440 And I was just like, you stay where you are, 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.400 and but it's it's scary, you know. I know things 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.039 are better with it now they have more information and stuff, 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.159 but still, like I'm nervous for them because I you know, 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.599 I just don't want anybody to be sick. Yeah. That's wow, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.360 that's quite the story. I'm sorry to hear that, but 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.920 it's yeah, I'm just I thank god that she did 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.520 not she found the information out before she came to 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.240 my house. Yeah, oh my gosh. Can you imagine that 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.560 that's all you need? That's all you need. Yeah. So, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.600 I mean I talked to her so far she just 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.000 lost her sense of smell and taste, but she says 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.000 she feels okay, you know, and then you know, President 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.000 Trump and Malania have it. We used woke up this 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.720 morning to that that was my phone blew up. Unbelievable. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.320 So hopefully, I mean, it's you know, people are still 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.680 getting it, but I think it's consequences less exactly, and 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.440 I think this is almost gonna be really our future, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.200 And I don't care about vaccines whatever. People are still 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.640 gonna get it, and whether or not they got the 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.920 vaccine for it or not. You know, I'm sure there's 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.000 still gonna be ways to contract it. So it's just 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.160 gonna be one of these things we just have to 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.880 be cognizant of going forward. But we cannot still continue 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.720 to have our lives shut down in the way that 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.800 they are because people. I mean, if the president is 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.400 going to get it, then the first lady gets it, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.520 but the vice president tested negative, the vice president's wife 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.200 tested negative, the Secretary of the Treasury test the negative, 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.560 and all these other people did. It's just one of 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.800 these things. You're either going to catch it or you're not, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.880 or you're gonna catch it eventually, and we're all going 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.599 to have it, you know. It's one of those things. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.960 But everybody's body treats it differently. That's that's the remarkable 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.919 part of it is you might have had it and 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.000 never knew it, right, I mean, I could we still 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.840 suspect from going back to last year Christmas time, we 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:43.280 were in New Jersey and my little my youngest daughter 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.320 got the worst six she has ever gotten in her life. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.640 They said that she was she had the flu. B Okay, 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.760 the flu was a little wonky last year. Then my 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.440 older daughter got it and they were sick for almost 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.160 three weeks, to the point where we thought they may 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.040 have pneumonia. But then they started to kind of come 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.480 out of it. Six weeks later, COVID breaks and we 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.640 were in New Jersey, which is a hotspot. I'm just saying, 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.840 maybe they had it. We now, my wife and I 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.920 did not even get a sniffle during that sickness. When 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.320 they were sick, weird, and we were taking care of 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.280 both of them, we didn't even feel, not even that 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:23.160 scratchy eye nothing. So it's it's just one of those things. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.160 What can we do? It just scares me, I know 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.120 it's it's I feel for you, for you guys and 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.560 your family and your you know, your sensitive situation. Yeah, 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.160 I you know, as everybody. I just wanted to go away. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.600 I want life to go back to normal. I want 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.000 to be able to I'm still so frustrated. I keep 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 trying to book our Disney trip and I can't do it. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.360 I can't there's so many obstacles. I mean, honestly, we're 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.920 not going to go with the mask, you know, wearing 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.160 mask and stuff. But even to try and book something 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.800 for next year, it's freaking impossible right now, Like there 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.280 are so many road bumps before you can actually book 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.120 your trip. And I even talk to a cast member 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.360 and she was so apologetic, and I'm like, honey, it's 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.840 not your fault. I get it, but it's just it's frustrating, 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.640 you know, because we've never missed a year, Like in 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.760 ten years, we have not missed a trip, and I 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.800 don't want to start. I want to go. Yeah, because 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.400 if you do, let's just say, all right, first year 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.320 and ten years, you don't go, Hey, we didn't get 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.320 a chance to go that. But you know, this year 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.160 is already starting to fill up. Maybe we're not going 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.320 to make it. And now you're looking at two years 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:27.960 before you go. You know, it's one of those things. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.360 I hear you, it's uh, we have to go. So 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.920 I am. I am doing everything I can to figure 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:40.600 this out. But we're supposed to for Thanksgiving, we're supposed 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.440 to travel to my husband's neck of the woods and 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:47.880 visit his family. So that's another thing. I'm like, Okay, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.520 is that going to be safe to travel to another 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.840 state and you know by this time is everything going 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:59.240 to be calmer? And I have upcoming I have a 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.440 date have to go to in New Jersey. Okay, date 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.760 I have to go to in Pennsylvania, A date that 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:13.200 I have to go to in North Carolina. I mean, oh, yes, yes, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.839 I have a autograph engagement in each one of those 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.679 states so far and including and Virginia, so we'll throw 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.400 those four in it. So I'm going to be traveling 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.520 through four states in the next month and a half. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.360 Are you doing the one that you discussed with me 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.520 with Shane that is on the books, but I don't 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.480 know if Shane is that. I will be in Pennsylvania, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.920 but I don't know if Shane will be there because 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.000 that date had to get moved to November. So it's 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.479 supposed to be the end of October. Now it's November seventh, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.880 which I think you're busy that day, November seventh, right, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:52.560 isn't that? Don't you have a I don't know what 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.640 I but yeah, but just still it's you know, I'm 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.800 going to be traveling through four states, and I've traveled 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.920 through each one of those dates already. Yeah, so maybe 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.319 I'm just fourteenth Okay, I couldn't remember it was oh, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.679 and now I'm like, duh, no, it was the seventh. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.880 Now it's November fourteenth. Again, I knew it was one 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.880 of those dates in November, so yeah, yeah, but out 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.160 of the blue, you know, my my little baseball signing 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:26.920 business has exploded, let me exploded because the Queen retweets 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.280 your stuff and people people say it, and people notice 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.240 that you're welcome, you are well, thank you. I can't 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.560 even begin to tell you the like it's it's the 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.880 when you're hot, you're hot scenario for me. And I'm 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.199 completely thankful of this because I don't take it lightly. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.280 I don't get a chip on my shoulder, and I 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.199 take it like this could be gone tomorrow. And I 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.760 really like I I work my ass off to do 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.080 this stuff, not because I'm gonna I think I'm gonna 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.840 make a mint off of it. I do because I 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.640 love it and I really enjoy it, and it is 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.800 I just can't even begin to express my luck I've 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.880 been lately. You know. It's funny you say that, because 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.320 that's how I feel about my career. That's awesome. I mean, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.280 I've been working, like, especially during quarantine, I've been working 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.320 more being at home than when I was on the road. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.120 When I was on the road, it's like I go out, 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.920 I do my deal, I come home, I do my 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.600 family stuff. Right I'm home. I'm not on the road, 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.640 but I'm working. It seems like I'm working five days 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.440 a week, like doing different things. I try. I try 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.840 to save everything for the weekend because I know I 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.040 have to gussy up on Fridays and now Saturdays with 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.679 the only fans. But if something comes in, I have 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.199 to get it done. And I say to myself, I'm 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.320 gonna I just push myself to do it because, like 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.520 you just said, it could be gone tomorrow. Yeah, and 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.920 ride the wave. Make as much money as I can. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.319 And I'm enjoying what I'm doing. You know, I'm exhausted, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.560 but I'm I'm happy and I'm happy to be helping 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.480 my family out. So and it's weird too to be 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.560 for me to maintain, you know, my regular job. Yeah, 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.679 but I'm now doing in my basement exclusively. I've gone 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.840 into Washington, d C. A couple of times. That's good, right, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.280 just a few times. But like you know, I've got 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.440 I feel like I have this weird lottery that I 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.600 wont like my family is fifteen feet away from me, 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.960 twenty four to seven. I get to go off and 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.800 do these shows and appearances and come back and be here, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.360 and it's just it's weird. How long is this going 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:35.520 to last that you're working from home? Don't know foreseeable future. Still, Oh, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.800 it's it is, you know. I mean, look, we've been 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.120 doing this for a year. We talked about last week 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.839 and you know, for me, you know how it was, 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.320 I say, hey, you got me Friday. It's my easiest 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.120 day of the week. You know. I would literally clear 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.400 the workload to Friday to get to it, you know, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.200 get to us, so we have a clear morning and 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.120 it's like now it's it's just I'm here. I don't 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.920 know what else to say. I just did. It's so weird. 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.600 It's but I do miss work camaraderie a little bit, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.680 a little bit, but not enough to not enough where 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.480 I'm like gonna be like, you know, please let me in. Please. Yeah, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.800 I mean, take away from all the horrible, horrible things 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.200 of this virus, there are some good things that came 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.120 out of it. Yeah, I would agree, And I hate 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.560 to say that because I mean, it's terrible don't. I'm 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.920 not justifying the virus. I'm not saying it was a 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:32.240 good thing. But you know, there are some revelations that 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.880 have happened, and I think if the virus did not happen, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.640 I don't think we would have pulled the kids and 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.360 started homeschooling. And this homeschooling has been such a blessing 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.679 for us and for our children, and it's just it's 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:51.280 amazing how the stress level has just gone down. Yes, 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:56.720 in this household, and so goods and beds, yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.840 goods and bads. But I just pray that it goes away. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.600 Just go away. We hate you. We've had enough. Get 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.840 out of here. Although I'm kind of on board for 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.800 my wife and my older daughter to go back for 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.560 the fifty to fifty model. I love working from home. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.400 It would be nice if it was a little quieter 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.240 some points of the day, just a little bit. I 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.040 like that they're here, but a little bit more quiet 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.040 sometimes in the day. So you're yeah, both of them, No, 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.320 both of them are on paper for return at one 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.960 point one October. No, one November like first week and 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.840 then one November. The daycare is fine. The daycare has 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:39.560 been operational, for Maddie and for Yeah, and for Liz. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.720 They they're one week apart in November when they go 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.280 back for the fifty to fifty model. Now does Liz 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:51.480 teaching Maddie's school. No, two different counties and two different counties, 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.360 although they're separated now by one room upstairs or you 0:14:55.480 --> 0:15:01.120 got one county's over here? One county. Yeah, yeah, so 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.800 one big happy family. But I digress, so to do. 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.560 So today's an interesting show because now we've pushed the 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.560 pause button where we are presently, and we're gonna throw 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.560 it to a canned interview that we already have done, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.640 which is awesome with with Nova, who has been on 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.880 our list the guys we wanted on the show for 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.200 almost a year. Yeah, No, Nova is uh. Novah is 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.080 a friend of mine, A good friend of mine, and 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.440 I say good friend a lot of these guys. I 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.720 since I've been off Facebook for so long, I just 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.680 haven't been in touch with you know what I mean. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.600 But he's the kind of person that if I picked 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.080 up the phone and said hey, I need this or 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.840 can you do this right away? He would do it. So, yes, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.800 Nova is a good friend of mine, and we've been 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.320 talking about him coming on the show. But of course 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.200 he has a real job and it's hard for him 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:54.200 on Fridays. So we finally got a Saturday where everybody 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.440 can get together because it was usually us who couldn't 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.400 do it. Yeah, we couldn't. Yeah, he could not make 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.440 the Friday. Yep, he could have made the Friday, we 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.960 couldn't do the Saturday. So this time it worked out. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:08.040 Have him in the can super super guy. Uh. I 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.000 will not call him Simon Dean. I said this in 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.800 an interview. He is not Simon Dean. Simon Dan is dead. 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.320 He will always be Nova to me. So great interview, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.400 very candid. Uh, just a great guy in general. Yeah, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.680 so stand by. Nova is ready to roll and we will. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.040 We'll see you when in just a couple of minutes. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:34.400 Here's all right, Can you move back?

So as close as we get a lot 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.680 of Nova, then that's fine. Can I just say I 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:50.760 have not seen you in years, five years? Why is 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.360 this so zoomed in on me? What the hell is 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.280 going on? You know, your face so cuge? What kind 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.760 of joint.

Yeah, you had like you 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.840 avoided that for a long time, like like getting sucked 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.879 into that subculture of the weirdos who come after you guys, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.600 like the women of wrestling. You actually did better than 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.840 most because you avoided it for like ten years. Well 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.600 because I took a leave of absence for you didn't 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.960 look for it either. Most of these markets. Most of 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.000 these markets looked for it, so you didn't. Now they 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.720 have to pay to see you. It's true.

I 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.840 don't even know how to do that. I don't even 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.600 know how to maneuver for my page. Anyway, How have 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.080 you been? What have you been up to? Let's let's 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:18.720 start off your gun? YEA, how old is Olivia? Olivia 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.920 will be eleven years old on October twenty third. Is't 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.600 that crazy? Do you remember when you guys just had 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.160 Olivia and you called me and you're like, hey, queen, 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.159 what are you doing? And I go I'm breasted and 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:37.800 all all your hear is new Molly's around. Olivia and 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.720 Molly around the same age, like, yeah, yeah she's eleven 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:50.160 and eight. Yeah yeah he's eight, so he's that crazy.

We didn't come out as 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.080 misfits and weirdo, you know what I mean. Like, so 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.560 that's just a natural what a shot that we actually 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.720 have normal lives and kids and we didn't turn out 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:09.959 to be dead drug addicts, weirdos, misfitsers. Yeah, it happens. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.240 Every time I would speak to him, whether it be 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:15.960 on the phone or text or whatever, he would always say, 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.600 we're so normal. We're like the most normal people in 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.800 the locker room. I'm like pretty much. And it wasn't 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.840 Here's the thing about it, It wasn't weird because nobody made, 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.960 nobody ever made anybody in ECW feel like they were 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.000 an outsider or like a piece of shit or anything 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.879 like that, because they didn't partake. If you want to do, 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.240 you're drinking your drugs, you're ritting your craziness, whatever you did. 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.439 No one cared about any of that. It was the 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.680 most like, weirdest, non judgmental group of people I'd ever 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:49.320 been around in any setting and anything I've ever done 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.520 in the real world too, because we were accepting of 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.000 their lifestyle and they were accepting of ours. It just 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.359 we were all friends. It didn't matter what you did 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.359 or what you didn't do. We all just got along, 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.160 you know. Yeah, No one cared. No one was like, 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.639 oh my god, you didn't smoke, you're not cool, or 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.880 you're not you're not you're not doing coke, or you're 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.560 not ratting or like what. No one cared. No one 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:15.440 cared about any of that stuff. Let's go back. Yeah, 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.359 let's go back like before. E c W.
