Speaker 1: All right, let's get our jingle bells up in the sleigh.
Speaker 1: Let's take off with Rudolph and company. Let's roll off
Speaker 1: Crossy the old Snowman and get him ready. Because this
Speaker 1: is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to a very
Speaker 1: festive and Christmas y edition of Eyes up Here, exclusively
Speaker 1: on our Patreon channel and also simulcast on the Creative
Speaker 1: Control Network. Technically that airs ASMOS, but that's I didn't
Speaker 1: know by now. My name is Hit and every single
Speaker 1: week I'm joined here by the host of the show,
Speaker 1: the one and only Queen of Extreme Fanccene. Are you
Speaker 1: getting ready to be a part of the mean girl
Speaker 1: scene where they sing jingle Bell Rock? I could shake
Speaker 1: it like that. Yes, I'm pretty festive in my I
Speaker 1: guess it would be my missus clause outfit because I'm
Speaker 1: okay you. But yeah, I love that part of the movie.
Speaker 1: That was great. I could definitely reenact that very fun.
Speaker 1: We put that on for the kids, you know, just
Speaker 1: as a goof, and I didn't remember like how suggestive
Speaker 1: some of the dancing was, so we had to cut
Speaker 1: out of that one pretty quick. I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: So did you get snow? Yes? We did. We were
Speaker 1: supposed to get eight to twelve inches. We got two.
Speaker 1: But it was a big two. The big two. We
Speaker 1: got about four, I would say. And so the kids
Speaker 1: wanted to play in the snow, and so I bundle
Speaker 1: them all up and I get them outside and I
Speaker 1: start frantically wrapping their Christmas gifts because you know, they're
Speaker 1: home and they're next to me every minute of the day,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, how am I going to wrap these gifts?
Speaker 1: So I'm wrapping them, and then I'm running upstairs and
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them in my walking closet and trying to
Speaker 1: hide everything. And twenty minutes goes by, and I'm in
Speaker 1: the middle and my son comes walking in and he's like,
Speaker 1: oh jeez, He's like so dramatic. Right, Oh, it's so cold.
Speaker 1: I think I'm done for the day. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you can't come in the kitchen. Hold
Speaker 1: on a second. So a guy I rushed him like upstairs.
Speaker 1: I threw him in a hot shower while he was showering.
Speaker 1: I ran downstairs and I grabbed everything real quick and
Speaker 1: just got rid of all the evidence. But I mean
Speaker 1: I tried. I got some of it done. But I
Speaker 1: still have some more to do, So it's challenging, for sure.
Speaker 1: It is challenging. No, it absolutely is, because this is
Speaker 1: the least prepared that we've ever been for any Christmas ever.
Speaker 1: My brother and my uncle Brian are the only ones
Speaker 1: I ever like. Knock out of the way quick right.
Speaker 1: They're easy. They're my met guys. You know, they're the
Speaker 1: autographed stuff like easy as hell. Everybody else I would
Speaker 1: sit at my old desk at work and I would
Speaker 1: shop all day online and I've been getting pickups at
Speaker 1: this place and deliveries every day and this and that. Well,
Speaker 1: now that I can't do that the way that I
Speaker 1: used to, it's, uh, it's been quite a different holiday
Speaker 1: season preparation wise. So we haven't wrapped a gift. We
Speaker 1: haven't even finished shopping as of this recording. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and now I you know, I'm a little bit less
Speaker 1: inclined to be going to stores right now. So it's, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an interesting one. We're down to
Speaker 1: the wire. Yeah, you you really are. Amazon I think
Speaker 1: hates me. They They've been at my health every day
Speaker 1: in Cyber Monday, so I've been just ordering my ass off.
Speaker 1: There's always a box at my door. Yeah, it's it's been.
Speaker 1: It's weird because we're not seeing family this year, so
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, do I do I buy for them?
Speaker 1: Or can I wait until I see them and then
Speaker 1: grab something later? And because God knows when I'm going
Speaker 1: to see anyone, but I definitely wanted to get the
Speaker 1: kids done. And you know what sucks about this year.
Speaker 1: We bought the kids a lot of big pieces that
Speaker 1: cost a lot of money. So it's rapping them. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like there's nothing here, yeah, because
Speaker 1: they like, you know, one items one hundred dollars, this
Speaker 1: item is one hundred and fifty dollars. My son needed
Speaker 1: a new iPad that costs three four hundred dollars, and
Speaker 1: it's like we're putting all this stuff together and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, man, there's I feel it. I feel the
Speaker 1: exact same way. I really hope they understand that each
Speaker 1: gift was very crazy. That's hey, you know, we we've
Speaker 1: already said if you asked for the big item, Santa
Speaker 1: Claus can't always accommodate the rest of the little things
Speaker 1: that make up the big hauls on a Christmas morning.
Speaker 1: But I am in the exact same boat with that
Speaker 1: the big ticket item. Last year I was very thrifty
Speaker 1: and now I don't know if you were. Last year
Speaker 1: I was very thrifty with my acquisitions for the gifts,
Speaker 1: and this year it went was more big ticket and
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you gonna do? Sorry, Santa didn't
Speaker 1: have enough room in the old slate. I know, I
Speaker 1: just I think my kids are old enough to understand, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know one switch game is sixty nine to ninety five,
Speaker 1: Like you know what, they're expensive. It's not it's not
Speaker 1: cheap to have children at Christmas time. So the switch
Speaker 1: so you mentioned that, so that will be you know,
Speaker 1: that was a very highly requested item this year. Is
Speaker 1: it something like do they like it or do they
Speaker 1: have it? Okay, they love it? So like what's the
Speaker 1: playability aspect of the of the switch? Tell me about
Speaker 1: it here as I embark on it. So from what
Speaker 1: I understand, you can either play it on your television
Speaker 1: or it's mobile, so you can take it in the car,
Speaker 1: you could take it in other rooms. You can do
Speaker 1: two players on it while it's you know, all as
Speaker 1: long as it's charged. The cartridges are extremely expensive for
Speaker 1: it unless you buy them used, but it's still a
Speaker 1: physical cartridge. Yeah, but they're like this big. They're little squares,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, you could lose it at the
Speaker 1: drop of a hat if it somewhere, you get about it,
Speaker 1: Like I tell my kids, please put it back in
Speaker 1: the little box you snap it in. But no, they're
Speaker 1: they're left on because this house, I mean, we have
Speaker 1: a den that is now a video game room for
Speaker 1: the kids, and there's just we have a Wii, we
Speaker 1: have a Switch and we have a Xbox in there,
Speaker 1: and then in the basement, which is kind of our
Speaker 1: rec room, Hubbs has I don't even know how many
Speaker 1: video games on the computer, like thousands that you can
Speaker 1: play in the big screen. So there's video games like
Speaker 1: all over the place here and I just asked them
Speaker 1: please put your games away. I even want to rack
Speaker 1: like a stand to put all the cartridges in and stuff.
Speaker 1: But the switch games are very small, very very small,
Speaker 1: so you have to be careful with them. But they're
Speaker 1: they're not cheap, Like they started sixty dollars and they
Speaker 1: just go up. So is it the good ones started
Speaker 1: that much? Because I've seen a few that are are cheaper.
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, I have a cheaper I playhouse.
Speaker 1: You know, I think the ones that my kids want
Speaker 1: just started sixty bucks in higher Like I don't tastes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never seen a brand new Switch game lower than
Speaker 1: sixty dollars, so I don't know. But it's I mean,
Speaker 1: the kids love it. The graphics are great on it.
Speaker 1: I forget what. I played a racing game with them
Speaker 1: on there. I don't know what's super Mario is something
Speaker 1: one of those games, but it's really good graphics. They
Speaker 1: really like it. We have a lot of video game
Speaker 1: listeners and Patreon members and people who are aficionados, so
Speaker 1: these this sounds like two uninformed people having a conversation.
Speaker 1: The best thing about this is, uh, you know, when
Speaker 1: I start Twitch in January, I'm going to try to game.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I don't know how to game. So
Speaker 1: that's gonna be really fun. So you're getting new heat,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be gonna be running you down. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. We we have, we have
Speaker 1: a bunch of games loaded and ready to go. I
Speaker 1: don't even know how to turn it on. So let's yes,
Speaker 1: Twitch comeson you know you you very uh. You talked
Speaker 1: about a lot over the last couple weeks. Twitch was coming,
Speaker 1: only fans is going, and it's a year coming to
Speaker 1: a close that I think everybody's very happy to see leave.
Speaker 1: So hopefully for you twitches, now you're outlet and you're
Speaker 1: what I feel like, like addicted to gaming, and then
Speaker 1: like twenty four to seven, your eyes are all bugging
Speaker 1: out of your head, like I can't do that because
Speaker 1: I have responsibilities at home. They'll you guys will have
Speaker 1: this racket. They'll be you know, like their homeschool course
Speaker 1: will be racing you. Yeah, my kids will be dirty, unfed,
Speaker 1: they won't go to school for for days on end.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be chaos here. Now. I just hope I
Speaker 1: get the hang of it. I've watched several people do it,
Speaker 1: and it just reminds me of YouTube. It just it's
Speaker 1: like the same thing I did on YouTube, but now
Speaker 1: I'm adding, like I'm trying to add different aspects to
Speaker 1: it with the gaming, maybe makeup tutorials. I'm going to
Speaker 1: try different things, so we'll see. We like to call
Speaker 1: you an innovator. We like to call you, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody who's always thinking outside the box. I just try.
Speaker 1: I'm trying because I just I have this feeling that
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one is not going to bring me much
Speaker 1: work outside of the home. I just know. I just
Speaker 1: had that feeling. So if I could keep doing things
Speaker 1: here and helping out, then that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: So you don't know unless you try, No, you don't.
Speaker 1: You throw stuff to the wall. You see what sticks exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what we like to to see. But you know, otherwise,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's an interesting Christmas time. I feel
Speaker 1: like we just like had Thanksgiving. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: we were just talking about Thanksgiving and Brent and preparing
Speaker 1: and turkey and YadA YadA, YadA. And it was a
Speaker 1: short time between Christmas and Thanksgiving to begin with. But
Speaker 1: it's like out of nowhere, Like this tree. I feel
Speaker 1: like this tree has been up for like a week.
Speaker 1: It's been up for longer than that buddy you had
Speaker 1: that Uproaly I ended up two weeks before Thanksgiving, and
Speaker 1: it just it's I hate, you know, think I gotta
Speaker 1: take it down and the room's gonna look big, Like
Speaker 1: I like having the tree, and you know, yeah, I
Speaker 1: like that. How was your holiday party. Oh it was awesome.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun, a lot of fun. I
Speaker 1: did not you did not. I was wondering if you
Speaker 1: were going to have still dry Okay, still dry. Well
Speaker 1: that was the morning I woke up with my heel
Speaker 1: issue that I'm going through. So on top of the
Speaker 1: pain that I was in, it was a good part.
Speaker 1: It was fun. You know. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot. We had a collection of neighborhood people come
Speaker 1: over and it's just it was a good time, good food,
Speaker 1: you know. But he stayed late, kids stayed up extra
Speaker 1: late like that they've never been before with like zombies
Speaker 1: at the end because they didn't know what to do
Speaker 1: with themselves being awake at you know, twelve forty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was funny. So, you know, my my little
Speaker 1: one is she's very particular. Again, I always talk about
Speaker 1: those people born on February nineteenth, there's something about them.
Speaker 1: She is such a unique little person. So she didn't
Speaker 1: want to play with the kids because she just wasn't
Speaker 1: liking the games that my older one made for the kids.
Speaker 1: She wasn't feeling in it. So she sat on a
Speaker 1: couch and watched the Grinch movie right, The New Grinch
Speaker 1: and then this Mariah carry All I Want for Christmas movie,
Speaker 1: So it's based off of the song, and the little
Speaker 1: girl in the movie's name is Mariah. She watched it
Speaker 1: four times over and over. She gets a dog. It's
Speaker 1: this whole thing. The dog gets lost, and she watched
Speaker 1: that in The Grinch back to back to back. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, but funny enough. I got a kick out
Speaker 1: of her, you know, being like a zombie at twelve
Speaker 1: forty five minute, I'm so tired. Yeah, she should have
Speaker 1: just put them up to bed. It wouldn't go. I
Speaker 1: said I would do it one hundred times, and you
Speaker 1: know I had to. You know, it's it's not fun
Speaker 1: being the sober person around a bunch of people who
Speaker 1: were drinking. That is that is not fun. No, not
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah. We are having my best friend Betty
Speaker 1: over Nice and her husband not till January. I think
Speaker 1: January second, we're gonna have We have them every year.

Speaker 1: have a couple of cocktails and treats and that's that's
Speaker 1: the extent of who I see this year. So love

Speaker 1: All right, here's the here's our buddy DC. Hey Santa, Hello, franccene, Hello,
Speaker 1: how are you? I am fantastic franccene. You know you
Speaker 1: were once again at the top of the nice list.
Speaker 1: I didn't mind looking at your only fan page a
Speaker 1: few times and seeing you be a bit naughty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not too naughty, but just uh, just naughty enough. How
Speaker 1: are you guys? We're good. How are you doing well?
Speaker 1: Doing well? I am doing fantastic, fantastic. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: dressed for the occasion. Yes, it's the holiday season, it
Speaker 1: is the holiday series. May I ask her? Are you
Speaker 1: going to tell us what's in the bag? The costume
Speaker 1: was in the bag, That's what was in the bag.
Speaker 1: What's in the box? What's in the box? I was wondering.
Speaker 1: I was like, what does he have about his sleeve?
Speaker 1: But that was cute? So you guys all ready for Christmas?
Speaker 1: Or what? Now? Getting there? Definitely some mic problems on
Speaker 1: your side, Chadwick. Oh no, there's not. Oh there's not.
Speaker 1: Can you hear me now? Now I can? Yeah, of
Speaker 1: course she can. I saw what the problem was. Okay,
Speaker 1: so now we're back in action here. Yeah, we're ready,
Speaker 1: I guess as ready as we're going to be a
Speaker 1: lovely partner coming on. She is not going to be
Speaker 1: here today, no, no, oh, okay, just us three. But
Speaker 1: I have a little Christmas trivia. I'm gonna go over
Speaker 1: some books movies, traditions, food, and uh, maybe we'll speak
Speaker 1: about our traditions as well. Maybe you'll let us into
Speaker 1: the extreme household on what you guys do Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: Christmas Day? Singapore canes across the board. Here you go,
Speaker 1: you fake out the kid, they open up the box,
Speaker 1: they get a cane right between the eyes, a stocking
Speaker 1: full of quarters, perhaps a chain, a chain slowly pulled
Speaker 1: out of the of the stocking at the end. No,
Speaker 1: my kids are too good. Husband. Are you more of
Speaker 1: a Christmas Eve or a Christmas Day? Gal? It really
Speaker 1: depends because we don't I don't have it at my house.
Speaker 1: I mean, this will be the first year that we're
Speaker 1: having everything at home because of the pandemic. My niece,
Speaker 1: my one niece, usually has everything and she has it
Speaker 1: there both days. So we just, you know, if we're
Speaker 1: feeling like we want to travel Christmas Eve, we go
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. If we don't feel like leaving the house
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, we go Christmas Day. Just really a toss up.
Speaker 1: Any present opening on Christmas Eve? No? No, well yes,
Speaker 1: if we go to her house, they usually get to
Speaker 1: open something because then we don't see them on Christmas,
Speaker 1: so they'll like we'll do an exchange with the family
Speaker 1: members that we won't see Christmas Day because you know,
Speaker 1: whatever day we don't go there. It's just the five
Speaker 1: of us here. So if we go there Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: then they get to open presents. If we're home Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: they don't get to open presents. What about you, Chad,
Speaker 1: what's it like in the Barclay household. I do love
Speaker 1: me some Christmas Eve, but we do everything Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: You know, kids get the pj's on Christmas Eve. That's
Speaker 1: like the big draw to after dinner antics. Usually church
Speaker 1: also Christmas Eve, but we have been told by the
Speaker 1: church please don't come. They're expecting record numbers of people,
Speaker 1: so they're urging folks to tune into the church's YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: This could be a ployed. They spike subscribers. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you monetize. They got to get the money up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now they do. I think they actually had like two
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers. I was pretty impressed for church. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we do the church thing usually followed by dinner. The
Speaker 1: last few years we've just gone solo of just the
Speaker 1: four of us doing the Christmas Eve stuff. We used
Speaker 1: to meet up with my parents or go to their house.
Speaker 1: And we lived in Jersey. Oh, it was all feasted,
Speaker 1: the Seven Fishes, it was everything. But now it's a
Speaker 1: little lighter. It's just you know, Italian food and Christmas music,
Speaker 1: and then then Christmas Day it's I will not I
Speaker 1: don't like to travel at all. Christmas Day it's everything
Speaker 1: as local as it can be. And it would usually
Speaker 1: go back to Jersey. But again, I don't think I
Speaker 1: can this year. I'm wearing a boot, so I don't
Speaker 1: think I can travel, unfortunately, and I think if I
Speaker 1: walk through the Jersey state lines, I might get booted
Speaker 1: out by the governor. So you know, the boot meets
Speaker 1: the boot. You're working injured, huh, I am, yes, I
Speaker 1: have a boot on right now. I have a wicked
Speaker 1: heel spur. My achilles tendon is all inflamed and it's
Speaker 1: a it's a mess. So I'm a hobbling fool right now.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with some trivia. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do Christmas movies and books. We'll start off with an
Speaker 1: easy one for you. All right, dude, who was the
Speaker 1: star of the Christmas movie Jingle? All the way you
Speaker 1: want to go? You want me to go? Is it
Speaker 1: whoever goes first? Yeah, whoever wants to ring in? I
Speaker 1: don't know it. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger, it is. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: just watched it last weekend. Okay, did you know there
Speaker 1: was a number two? It was Sorry Larry the Cable Guy. Yes,
Speaker 1: and produced by w W Studios. There you go. I
Speaker 1: didn't know it, all right, you'll know this one though, Franny,
Speaker 1: who was the star of the movie titled White Christmas
Speaker 1: bing Crosby. That's correct. Yeah. Have you seen that one? No? No,
Speaker 1: me either. I have. It's a snoozer. I also I
Speaker 1: kind of promo and it's a Wonderful Life last week too,
Speaker 1: So I hope that comes up in discussion. Well, what
Speaker 1: is your favorite Christmas movie? Franny? Me? I like Christmas Vacation. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's definitely. Absolutely Yeah, three or four times a year
Speaker 1: we watched that one. I just want, well, not just
Speaker 1: but like as an adult, I finally saw Christmas Story. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just saw that was cute. Hey, the the A E.
Speaker 1: W Superstars will be doing a re enactment of story
Speaker 1: in between the commercials. That's adorable. I did see the
Speaker 1: one thing where he was on San Chris laugh of Santa.
Speaker 1: That was really cute. Now, if you were going to
Speaker 1: guess what you what Jim Cornett thinks about that, what
Speaker 1: would you say? He thinks he probably hates it. You
Speaker 1: are correct that kind of stuff. Didn't hate their little
Speaker 1: song and dance number. I hated it. He hated it.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it either, but I loved it. That
Speaker 1: goes with that. So no, I love Gaga and out
Speaker 1: of the box things, and you know, the stuff that
Speaker 1: is not wrestling, that that is done just intrigues me.
Speaker 1: So that stuff, to me was brilliant. You also got
Speaker 1: to give a nod to the fact that m j
Speaker 1: F is Jewish playing you know, Ralphie who's obsessed with Christmas.
Speaker 1: He gotta that's a little bit of a wink wink,
Speaker 1: you know. I would think, I love it. Yeah, great movie.
Speaker 1: We watch the marathon every year. Yeah, that's the only
Speaker 1: time I watch. Yeah, Chad, what about you, what's your
Speaker 1: favorite christ I would I would say Christmas Vacation. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one that I discovered last year that's
Speaker 1: been around for a long time and it's gonna work
Speaker 1: its way into the rotation. It's mixed nuts I've heard
Speaker 1: of it. I haven't. It's a Steve Martin movie and
Speaker 1: it takes place during Christmas. But he works at like
Speaker 1: a self help like telephone line. You know, you know
Speaker 1: I have seen it, Okay, and like, you know, calamity happens.
Speaker 1: All the people in the building. That's happening. You know,
Speaker 1: a guy gets killed. They have to cover up the
Speaker 1: murder like it's it is hilarious called oh but see,
Speaker 1: but no, But the thing is, it's the music is
Speaker 1: all Christmas music. I would think, I would think you do,
Speaker 1: but I I could be wrong. I would put it
Speaker 1: at the top of the list. It's here's why I
Speaker 1: liked it so much. I had zero expectations of what
Speaker 1: it was. I just saw, you know, calamity happens during Christmas.
Speaker 1: I always knew the movie title, never saw it. Watched
Speaker 1: it last year. Hilarious, huh Okay, Yeah, we did the
Speaker 1: same thing a couple of years ago. Just by chance,
Speaker 1: we watched it, and you're right, it was. It was
Speaker 1: pretty funny, unexpected. Yes, I'm gonna put that on my
Speaker 1: list if I ever watch another movie. Yes, because you know,
Speaker 1: made up my movies. But yeah, we'll check that out.
Speaker 1: How about the diehards. Do you consider those Christmas movies? Yes?
Speaker 1: Or no? No you don't No, No, just action, just
Speaker 1: an action movie with Christmas setting. No, it's not all right.
Speaker 1: I have to be honest with you. I've never seen them,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's themed around Like does it
Speaker 1: have a Christmas message? Yes, it's it's definitely themed around Christmas.
Speaker 1: Definitely Christmas theme the whole movie. Then why is there
Speaker 1: a discussion on whether it's a Christmas movie? It's to me,
Speaker 1: it's an action movie with Christmas elements. It's not a
Speaker 1: Christmas movie. But if you were to look up probably
Speaker 1: top ten Christmas movies, I bet you it's in there.
Speaker 1: It's probably in there in the top I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not on board with the discussion. I would have to
Speaker 1: view it and then give you my My husband is
Speaker 1: adamant that it is a Christmas movie and it's just
Speaker 1: a classic all around. And as much as I respect
Speaker 1: his his views on things, I have to politely disagree
Speaker 1: because I just it's just an action movie. I think
Speaker 1: one of the lethal weapons takes place during Christmas? It does? Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Whatever do you guys think it is?
Speaker 1: Leave a comment. Yeah, let's let's see what everybody thinks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what else we got here. Add
Speaker 1: mixed nuts to the list. By the way, added to
Speaker 1: the listing. It's not there. I just checked. Alright, No,
Speaker 1: he's downloading it right now. All right? What made Frosty
Speaker 1: come to life in the movie Frosty the snow Man? Easy?
Speaker 1: It's hot the hat of course. And he said, how
Speaker 1: birthday pops my four year old every time? I love it.
Speaker 1: We watched this year. Yeah, you got to watch all
Speaker 1: those with the kids, right, the Peanuts, My kids pop
Speaker 1: when he goes missy, miss I love that part. That
Speaker 1: the big heel of the of the show. Well, what's
Speaker 1: his name is it? It's not? Is it Merlin? Oh man?
Speaker 1: But he's such a little with the show. And what
Speaker 1: a dick bag he is? All right? How about foods queen,
Speaker 1: you like to cook? What's your favorite dish for the
Speaker 1: holiday season? Do you have one? We usually have a
Speaker 1: lot of Italian food, you know, we're we're Italian over here.
Speaker 1: One tradition we have is my husband always makes his
Speaker 1: monkey bread nice, which we love, love love, But we
Speaker 1: usually have like a nice like maybe a z dish,
Speaker 1: baked z d or stuff shells, meatballs. Sometimes I make
Speaker 1: agg plant parm my plant parm. Yeah, it's it's just
Speaker 1: a lot of the campion food on the table. So
Speaker 1: my wife makes these meatballs. We call them cracked meatballs
Speaker 1: because they're addictive, like crack. So she takes the meatballs,
Speaker 1: puts them in the crock pot, ketchup apple jelly and
Speaker 1: like this orange jelly and it is delicious. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a concoction. Yeah, that is very that is very metagone
Speaker 1: of you, which is very American of delicious. Never never
Speaker 1: tried it. I'm very traditional with my uh my Italian
Speaker 1: meatball recipe, but I'm open to trying new things. I
Speaker 1: would definitely try those. All right, Well, let's see if
Speaker 1: you know this answer. Are they sweet? They are sweet? Yes, sweet?
Speaker 1: They use beef yeap. Yes, they're wonderful. We usually make
Speaker 1: them on Christmas, wonderful cook and uh usually Christmas morning
Speaker 1: we're breaking them out, believe it or not, eight o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning and that's what we're eating. That passes
Speaker 1: in one of the foods I can't eat in a
Speaker 1: certain period of time. Things have to be eating at
Speaker 1: certain times of the day. I couldn't eat meatballs at
Speaker 1: eight o'clock in the morning. Really, you're like the breakfast person.
Speaker 1: It has to be, you know, it can't be. And
Speaker 1: I could have sausage. I could have you know that
Speaker 1: kind of meat sausage? Correct, I've always been that way.
Speaker 1: If it belongs in a different part of the day,
Speaker 1: I can't have it in the morning when you wake
Speaker 1: up a meatball in the morning, No way. But it's Christmas, right, Christmas,
Speaker 1: New Year's, Thanksgiving, Arbor Day, Flag Day. I don't care
Speaker 1: all right. Well, speaking of foods, which Christmas food is
Speaker 1: it considered good luck to eat one of each day
Speaker 1: of the twelve days of Christmas. I didn't know this answer,
Speaker 1: so never either, any idea, Chad, no clue. It's mince pies,
Speaker 1: which I don't even know what a mince pie is. Pie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mince pie is a meat pie. So you definitely not
Speaker 1: have an app for breakfast. I've never had a minced
Speaker 1: pie in my life. I would. I'd rather eat a
Speaker 1: shit pie than a mince pie. I think more of
Speaker 1: a UK tradition. I think you're right, that's probably right.
Speaker 1: Which type of tree was the partridge sitting in? According
Speaker 1: to the well known Christmas song A pear tree, A
Speaker 1: paar tree. Yeah. What beverage is known as milk punch eggnog?
Speaker 1: It is? Are you a fan? Hell no? Not either
Speaker 1: version alcohol or non alcohol version. No way and no way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: To me, it never made sense to mix something like
Speaker 1: that with alcohol because if it comes back up, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Right. I just think I think a
Speaker 1: cousin Eddie and Christmas vacation drinking it in the moose
Speaker 1: the moose cup and he's dipping it in there. That's
Speaker 1: what I think. I'm assuming rum would be good in
Speaker 1: uh eggnog? Right, I guess. I don't know what type
Speaker 1: of alcohol they use. Is there a specific one that's
Speaker 1: supposed to go in there? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know either. We have it in the house because my
Speaker 1: husband loves it, but he doesn't put spiced drum is
Speaker 1: what he's said. But I I think I just think
Speaker 1: it's a gloppy mess. I don't like it. Not a fan,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's talk Christmas traditions. A lot of
Speaker 1: traditions going on stockings. Do you guys open your stocking
Speaker 1: presence before or after the regular presence? Oh? We do
Speaker 1: ours before before. Really we do it after after. Me
Speaker 1: and my wife have had this argument for years because
Speaker 1: it was split, just like that, we always religiously afterwards
Speaker 1: her she swears it has to be done before. See,
Speaker 1: I do ours before because the smaller gifts are in
Speaker 1: the stocking and then the more expensive guests are under
Speaker 1: the tree. So I figure if they open the more
Speaker 1: expensive guests and then they go to the little gifts
Speaker 1: to the PlayStation, I don't know, that's such the way
Speaker 1: I do it. So we go right to the fireplace
Speaker 1: and take the stockings down, and of course they want
Speaker 1: to check if the milk and cookies are gone right,
Speaker 1: and then we go back into the living room and
Speaker 1: go to the one tree with all the present all right,
Speaker 1: So we got a split decision there. What was the
Speaker 1: first Christmas card sent? And who designed it? You mean
Speaker 1: this year? No? Ever, No, that's a good one. I
Speaker 1: could have told you both. But I designed it. I
Speaker 1: took the photos, designed it. And the first you want,
Speaker 1: the first person it was said to, is that we
Speaker 1: were asking, like, this is a historical question. Oh you
Speaker 1: said tradition. He said traditions. No, it's like who, like
Speaker 1: is it Hallmark? I don't know Father Christmas on Christmas Day, oh,
Speaker 1: eighteen forty three. And John Horseley who he is? But
Speaker 1: he just got a plug here on eyes up here.
Speaker 1: You know what your offense to? That? The Horseley family?
Speaker 1: Who is he? You know who else take offense to?
Speaker 1: Delbert E. Klegg he takes offense to that returned? Damn it.
Speaker 1: I forgot. I wanted to make my name this week, Dave,
Speaker 1: and I forgot. I wrote it. I actually wrote, I
Speaker 1: wrote it. I wrote it down. He was my mom's,
Speaker 1: one of my mom's like first real serious boyfriends. And
Speaker 1: the name popped up on the show. So now Chat's
Speaker 1: infatuated with that name. I'll tell you what. Wait time out.
Speaker 1: So I so somebody told me one of our listeners,
Speaker 1: uh said that they worked with a guy named Delbert,
Speaker 1: and I just was like, holy oh, you know it
Speaker 1: was Chris Carum. He said he worked with a guy
Speaker 1: named Delbert, and I I've never heard the name before.
Speaker 1: Francine uttered those those letters in one collection. So there
Speaker 1: are two Delberts out there. I'm sure there's more than two.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what was Christmas like in the wrestling business? Frannie?
Speaker 1: What did you guys? Do you guys worked a lot
Speaker 1: of those days. Right, was it festive around those holidays
Speaker 1: in the locker room? Any Secret Santa is going on? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We every year. We all exchanged Christmas gifts every year
Speaker 1: that I can remember. I don't believe there was a
Speaker 1: year that went by that we didn't buy gifts for
Speaker 1: each other. Maybe the year that the checks bounced, but
Speaker 1: other than that, yeah, it was, uh, you know, because
Speaker 1: we were usually on the road around that time. We
Speaker 1: never I don't think we ever missed a Christmas being
Speaker 1: on the road, but we were definitely, you know, around
Speaker 1: that around the December time we were working. And that's
Speaker 1: how close we all were. We always I mean I
Speaker 1: would have to buy thirty Christmas gifts every year for people.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Secret SA. You bought for everybody. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we bought for everyone. Oh wow, just give a T shirt?
Speaker 1: Like you couldn't just give your shirt. Hey, here's my
Speaker 1: Francine T shirt. Now let me ask you this though,
Speaker 1: So you guys never worked Christmas Day, right that I remember?
Speaker 1: I remember working. I think we worked like an ea
Speaker 1: still are a Thanksgiving, But I don't remember working at
Speaker 1: Christmas because I mean, traditionally the NWA well run on
Speaker 1: Christmas Day starcades. I believe we're actually on Christmas Day
Speaker 1: at one point, and the WWE, I believe still up
Speaker 1: to last year. Maybe they stopped last year, but we're
Speaker 1: every year December twenty sixth. Madison Square Garden never failed.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't imagine like guys having to leave the
Speaker 1: family right like that on either Christmas night or the
Speaker 1: next morning and just be out of there. But it
Speaker 1: was always a tradition Christmas and the next day after
Speaker 1: Christmas at Madison Square Garden. I disagree with that one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I feel like they're already on the road
Speaker 1: three hundred days a year. Give them a weekend or
Speaker 1: a couple of days off with their family for God's sakes,
Speaker 1: Like Christmas is a special time, and I just don't
Speaker 1: think anybody should be working, and I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: should be attending wrestling shoes. Well, you know, you get
Speaker 1: it for you get the tickets for Christmas. Hey, guess
Speaker 1: where we're going tomorrow. We're going to the Garden to
Speaker 1: see wrestling. Now, I'll tell you what. Here's where they
Speaker 1: gave you the big fu that they normally do on
Speaker 1: the way, you know, to the forum. You know how
Speaker 1: they broke up brand splits. You're on this brand, You're
Speaker 1: on that brand? Oh no, no, no. The Madison Square
Speaker 1: Garden shows were super shows, so everybody had to be
Speaker 1: at the Garden. So it wasn't like the Raw crew
Speaker 1: or the SmackDown Crew. Everybody had to be at the
Speaker 1: Garden the day after Christmas. And I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Just one of the many reasons why I
Speaker 1: am so glad I am an independent contractor over here.
Speaker 1: Do you remember any particular gift you got from a
Speaker 1: wrestler one year or was there a gag gift that
Speaker 1: you remember. I remember one year the weirdest, strangest gift
Speaker 1: that I've ever received was from Buella McGillicutty. And she
Speaker 1: gave me, and God bless her, it was very sweet
Speaker 1: of her. But she gave me ear candles, ear wax. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: I I remember opening and I was looking at them
Speaker 1: and I was just like and then I remember we
Speaker 1: went back to it because we were you know, we
Speaker 1: used to room together all the time, and we went
Speaker 1: back to the room and she did them to my
Speaker 1: ears and I was just like, okay, it was it
Speaker 1: was just I don't know that I was grateful for
Speaker 1: the gift, but I just thought it was a little strange.
Speaker 1: But you knew fast forward twenty something years that I'd
Speaker 1: be so addicted to watching. Yeah, that's true. If you
Speaker 1: could come on, that would be the perfect show for
Speaker 1: she knew. I think she knew back then that that
Speaker 1: was something that I would love in the future. Watch
Speaker 1: that candle. No, for all the fans out there, just
Speaker 1: put that image in your head of the two of
Speaker 1: them in the room together but doing the ear laying
Speaker 1: on the bed. Ever, so strap can candle in my ear? Yeah,
Speaker 1: very very second times back then? Not that's funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, how about this one? What are two other
Speaker 1: names for Santa Claus? You want me to go? Sure?
Speaker 1: Chris Kringle and Father Christmas. That's that's a good one, yep,
Speaker 1: Saint Nick. Also, yeah about how about Topos Jesu. What
Speaker 1: I heard him in the background is that diehard? You
Speaker 1: got it completely worth saying it now. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what that means. But okay, when Santa Claus is
Speaker 1: getting interrogated, when they arrest him in the Santa Claus
Speaker 1: and they say what's your name? And he goes through
Speaker 1: all the you know, the versions of Santa Claus from
Speaker 1: around the world. He does proposes Is that a Japanese
Speaker 1: I think? I don't know what it is. It could be,
Speaker 1: but whatever it was, it makes me laugh every time
Speaker 1: I hear it, and I'm glad he got it. Number
Speaker 1: one of that movie fantastic. The rest of them all crap.
Speaker 1: Oh they're terrible. They were on the other night. They
Speaker 1: are the biggest steaming pile of crap the other Yes,
Speaker 1: that was it. I couldn't Yes, you're right, couldn't remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he hit it on the head knowledge over there? All right?
Speaker 1: All right? The legend of Santa Claus is associated with
Speaker 1: which saint or monk? We did that one kind of yeah.
Speaker 1: Or you could go watch the Netflix movie Klaus and
Speaker 1: you can find out a little more origin story. Watch it.
Speaker 1: It's a little I think the animation is a little freaky,
Speaker 1: but the kids loved it. Which is the last US
Speaker 1: state to declare an official holiday for Christmas? I'm going
Speaker 1: going to say Hawaii. I was not only because they
Speaker 1: were the last two. That's so I was saying. Is
Speaker 1: that true? It's actually Oklahoma? Believe it or not? Why
Speaker 1: they took so long to get on the bandwagon. Who knows? Uh?
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's look too busy husking corn to Christmas. Oh,
Speaker 1: here we go. According to the Italian tradition, who delivers
Speaker 1: gifts to the good children on the eve of Epiphany? Shoot,
Speaker 1: I know this, Shoot, I know this one, and I
Speaker 1: can't I can't remember I know it, Tony soprano close, Uh,
Speaker 1: an old lady? Which named be fauna? Am I saying that? Right?
Speaker 1: Is that? Who you were thinking of? What's the one
Speaker 1: with the shoes where you put the shoes outside or something?
Speaker 1: What's that? Is that the same thing? An orange in
Speaker 1: the shoe or something? Isn't that German? I think right now?
Speaker 1: I have a cousin from Germany, and she taught us
Speaker 1: in grade school. She was my art teacher, and she
Speaker 1: used to go get your crowns and your crew. I
Speaker 1: only one. I just thought she had the thigkest accent.
Speaker 1: They can tell you anything, and I'd listen because they
Speaker 1: just mean business whenever they open their mouth. I want
Speaker 1: to know why the Oklahomans are so stingy and not
Speaker 1: recognizing Christmas? Okay, that's that's really putting an old bug
Speaker 1: in my craw here ask j R. Well, Francina, I
Speaker 1: hate to tell you, I have no clue. I was
Speaker 1: too busy. All right, let's do one more. Let's see
Speaker 1: what we got here? All right? Can you name the
Speaker 1: eight original reindeer? Original? So the ones that are current
Speaker 1: are not the not they are, I think that they
Speaker 1: don't count. Maybe Rudolph as an original reindeer, believe it
Speaker 1: or not, Well, he would be the ninth, right. Why
Speaker 1: isn't he in there? There's always eight of them because
Speaker 1: he just leads the sleigh. He's not on the regular
Speaker 1: crew of reindeer that practiced pulling to play all year round.
Speaker 1: He just came in to save the day. No, if
Speaker 1: he's leading them through the darkness with his nose, he
Speaker 1: should be the ninth reindeer at the front of the past. Right.
Speaker 1: But it was the original rain right right. But it
Speaker 1: also says then one foggy Christmas Eve, not every Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: It was like, Rudolph, have you done with this? You're retired? Okay,
Speaker 1: only that night because of the fog. Rudolph got to go. Right.
Speaker 1: Every Christmas Eve's been clear afterwards. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: just one foggy Christmas eve that you all know and love.
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a swerve and it'd be like,
Speaker 1: you know, happy, sleepy, dopey doc bashedball know, is that
Speaker 1: what to be? Dancer and Dasher? No, yeah, Dancer and Dasher,
Speaker 1: Donner and Blitzen comment and cupe it. I think you're
Speaker 1: only missing blood Donner and Blitzen. But you gotta say
Speaker 1: it like Arnold and Jingle all the way, Prance a
Speaker 1: vixen comic cop. But Donna Blitzenasher, Dancer Donner, I don't
Speaker 1: faking known and Blitzen Ridolf should be in there. Or
Speaker 1: as Bart Simpson would say, Donna Dixon, Donna Dixon is
Speaker 1: married to uh that guy from uh the Blues Brothers,
Speaker 1: dan Ackroyd. Still yeah, interesting, Yeah, it's true love. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that. It's so pratty. Your guys kids watch
Speaker 1: this program? Or can we talk about kids gifts on here?
Speaker 1: Like what you're Oh? Yeah, loyal subscribers pat members. I
Speaker 1: charge each child ten dollars share a subscription. They would
Speaker 1: sign up for Patreon just to cancel it. Have you
Speaker 1: had to try and find the Xbox not the Xbox,
Speaker 1: the PlayStation five? No, No, they mentioned it and I
Speaker 1: politely said, we add forty two box in this house.
Speaker 1: We don't need another one. They're they're near impossible to
Speaker 1: get anyway you can't get I know, Troy, our great listener,
Speaker 1: Troy always ends up. He's been lucking out and getting
Speaker 1: a couple. He's flipped a few. So yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: if you got you gotta you gotta play the old charts, right,
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess it doesn't appeal to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: I I'd like the PlayStation two. I had fun with it,
Speaker 1: but I'm just so out of the video game loop.
Speaker 1: It's just uh so the kids, you know, they're they're
Speaker 1: wanting to explore the Nintendo Switch, and I guess that
Speaker 1: has to be a little bit more juvenile that, you know.
Speaker 1: The PlayStation five wouldn't appeal to them at this point. Yet,
Speaker 1: maybe it will soon, who knows on the clearance rack.
Speaker 1: The games are so hard to play now. I was
Speaker 1: off from work the other day and said to my
Speaker 1: ten year old one, don't you come out and I'll
Speaker 1: try and play a game with you. Just to get
Speaker 1: a two player game, it's ridiculous. You have to set
Speaker 1: up a whole PlayStation account, and it's not just go
Speaker 1: and pick two players at the beginning of the menu
Speaker 1: like we used to do it. So you have the five, No,
Speaker 1: we don't have the five. I haven't been able to
Speaker 1: find it. Grandpa has been everywhere looking for it online.
Speaker 1: He's he's even had the kids try and get it online.
Speaker 1: Amazon doesn't have it with an outrageous price tag. With
Speaker 1: people trying to resell it, They're going to read it
Speaker 1: that you could. Yeah, you can secondhand market if you
Speaker 1: want to pay three times as much. People on selling
Speaker 1: them for fifteen hundred two thousand dollars. Yeah, that seems
Speaker 1: like it seems like fifteen hundred bucks is like the
Speaker 1: low end of the of the of the second hand
Speaker 1: or second dary market sales is fifteen hundred bucks. So
Speaker 1: what does it actually retail for? Seven or six? I
Speaker 1: thought it was five hundred. What a relief that it's
Speaker 1: five hundred. Probably nothing except that, you know, they hype
Speaker 1: it up and you know they get these kids to
Speaker 1: to want it. You could buy a case of Francene
Speaker 1: figures or five. I'm sold out. Sorry, I do have.
Speaker 1: I do have a couple in my possession and I'm
Speaker 1: giving one away Sunday on OnlyFans as a prize. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you you you set the record
Speaker 1: because Vince Russo has been trying to sell his and
Speaker 1: he still has a couple left, and yours were like, geez,
Speaker 1: they're good when they're gone. They're gone. They were who
Speaker 1: they were gone. Yeah, I mean everybody waited decades for that,
Speaker 1: decades for that, including me. Yeah. Well that's all I
Speaker 1: have for for trivia questions and day traditions. How about
Speaker 1: I got one? How about what what was your favorite
Speaker 1: gift of all time growing up? For me? Yeah, over
Speaker 1: my cabbage Patch doll sod your mom and dad beat
Speaker 1: the snot out of somebody to get a cag My sister,
Speaker 1: My sister did, My one sister, Joy, she's about twenty
Speaker 1: years older than me. She just celebrated her birthday, so
Speaker 1: happy birthday, Joy. But I remember her going to the
Speaker 1: store and my oldest niece and I are seven months apart.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know that, so we're
Speaker 1: basically the same age, and she had to get two
Speaker 1: of them, and she got them. She went I don't
Speaker 1: know what store she went to, but Christmas morning, when
Speaker 1: I opened that gift, I cried like a baby because
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was getting one, and I had
Speaker 1: my little I don't even remember what her name is.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. She was bald, and she was beautiful
Speaker 1: and I loved her so much. So it's my characters style.
Speaker 1: That's great. How about you, DC. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I had one, but probably the fact of get being
Speaker 1: able to get music. I loved music, so that was
Speaker 1: the way to get the newest cassettes or CDs or
Speaker 1: the Walkman or a stereo. That was that was how
Speaker 1: I would cash in for Christmas. You know, put that
Speaker 1: list of music out. Yeah, the music was a big deal,
Speaker 1: especially you know post Santa Claus, you know twelve thirteen,
Speaker 1: the boom Box, the cassettes, you know the CDs. I
Speaker 1: remember like five CDs all on Christmas morning and the
Speaker 1: very nondies. Ask if you look back at you know,
Speaker 1: your Nirvana's and Green Days and Offspring not not really
Speaker 1: charged at the top of the charts. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think might are more about disappointments of stuff I
Speaker 1: didn't get. I think that's what I remember more well.
Speaker 1: That was you know, My thing was I had one
Speaker 1: superhero named Firestorm, who was my favorite still is my
Speaker 1: favorite action figure of all time. And he got lost,
Speaker 1: buried at sea, literally buried at seven Presidents Beach in
Speaker 1: uh in New Jersey, and I asked for him for Christmas,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately was left on the work bench according to
Speaker 1: the note. So I'll never forget it as long as
Speaker 1: I live. I wrote you a note he was left
Speaker 1: on the workbench. So but my uncle would come through
Speaker 1: a few years later and I would reclaim Firestorm. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: that's one of my outstanding memories. But then you know
Speaker 1: Nintendo and whatever like those are the other ones too.
Speaker 1: You got to put up there. I had. I remember
Speaker 1: I had a Barbie that I really wanted. I think
Speaker 1: she was called I don't know if she was called
Speaker 1: Western Barbie or it must have been Western. I don't
Speaker 1: think I would have called her Texas Party. But she winked,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, she had blue eyeshadow and she went like that,
Speaker 1: and you put when you pushed her button on her back,
Speaker 1: she gave you a little wink. And my mom got
Speaker 1: me that or Sanna got me that. That was it.
Speaker 1: The pink Corvette. Did you have the pink Corvette to
Speaker 1: go with Barbie? I don't know. If I had the
Speaker 1: pink Corvette. I never had the Big dream House. No, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't have the Big dream House. I remember I
Speaker 1: had something like it held the barbies, but when you
Speaker 1: opened it up, it was like her condo or something like.
Speaker 1: It was just a background, right, it was just on
Speaker 1: like the inside of the wall. No, it had several
Speaker 1: different like slots, I guess you would say, but they
Speaker 1: had they had different scenarios, different scenes in them, and
Speaker 1: you could like put different things and then you can
Speaker 1: hold everything in it and close it. I know I
Speaker 1: had stuff like that, but I never had the Big
Speaker 1: dream House. I don't have girls. Is Barbie still a
Speaker 1: big deal nowadays? It's just among the many, right would
Speaker 1: you say, of brands out there? But it's still pretty strong.
Speaker 1: My daughter never got into Barbies really interesting, and I
Speaker 1: bought them. I bought several of well, never got into them,
Speaker 1: So I had a bunch of Barbies like she might
Speaker 1: have played with them five times. And toy fanatics here,
Speaker 1: I mean we got the Barbies well represented, all the
Speaker 1: weird off brands of princesses and television shows that have
Speaker 1: a doll. I mean literally we probably have like sixteen
Speaker 1: Jojo dolls and it's literally just Jojo in a different outfit.
Speaker 1: So the girl from YouTube, Yeah she got a doll,
Speaker 1: literally got her doll before I got my dollars. It
Speaker 1: took you decades. She got it like literally the same
Speaker 1: just picture every outfit you were on a pay per view.
Speaker 1: Well she's got that. If she Wren on a YouTube
Speaker 1: video and it's the same doll, like the same question.
Speaker 1: Way to market, that's great, she's a brand. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool. Well, look, you know a lot of fun
Speaker 1: Christmas ey stuff DC. You know, before we get to

Speaker 1: New Jack City Wrestling. I was gonna taint it and
Speaker 1: I ever work for this? Yes, you did, now in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. Now, I believe I wanted to send
Speaker 1: him an email, but I didn't have time. I believe
Speaker 1: Donnie b Nova's brother either booked this show or own
Speaker 1: the promotion. I don't remember specifically, but this is one
Speaker 1: of my local indies from back in the nineties. I
Speaker 1: had no clue that you ever appeared on a New
Speaker 1: Zack City show. Me neither. Famously, I can honestly say,
Speaker 1: I've probably never seen this footage, so this is going
Speaker 1: to be exciting. I'm gonna run down the card with you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see guys with this stuff like you find me,
Speaker 1: dude crazy. I was going nuts when I found this.
Speaker 1: I was so pumped. New Jack City Wrestling had one
Speaker 1: of the best commercials in the central New Jersey area
Speaker 1: where they'd be like New Jack City, New Jack City,
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, you want to come to play,
Speaker 1: come play in our hood, and it would be very
Speaker 1: like dead open because you know, we were under contract
Speaker 1: in ECW, so we really didn't do like indie shows
Speaker 1: outside of you know, going to Japan and stuff like that. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how we work this deal. January nineteenth,
Speaker 1: ninety seven at the Freehold National Guard Armory in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I got the whole card, and if she goes anywhere,
Speaker 1: she's in the main event. So I'm just gonna tell
Speaker 1: you that right now. Of course, it was question at
Speaker 1: this point in the game, but the finish is what
Speaker 1: I like the most, and I can't wait to show
Speaker 1: you the finish. So I have no idea what we did,
Speaker 1: so bringing on Love, it can't wait, but that's that's
