of Jubilence?

I thought you were referring Okay, I thought you were
referring to me another jubulence.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I'm pep. You know, I'm the gesture of jubilence.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, well I'll take that as a big thing. Okay, cool.
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Nothing?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Just how my gesture doing today? Get some falls and
juggle for me gesture, do some fun stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
So I'm here. I'm here to make you.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Let's go. No, seriously, what's going on? Anything? Good?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh man? I'm just uh, I'm riding high. I'm doing great.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, everything's just fluffy ducks in the eyes up your
universe and uh I'm loving every minute of it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Awesome. Okay, Well, just uh, you know, because I always
have to give you a little bit of an update
on my health for those of you who care. Some
people do, some people tweet me how you feeling. I
didn't get the best news. I got a report from
my gi doctor. They still don't know what's causing the opinion,
which is very upsetting to me, but they did find

(02:03):
a couple cysts. He tends to worry about one of them,
so he wants me to go to my guide in collogists,
which I think was my next step anyway, to try
and go back and see if they can help me
over there. But I also have a fatty liver, which
I'm stumped because, like I'm I'm not really a drinker,

(02:24):
Like I drink on occasion, and I couldn't tell you
the last time I had a cocktail. Honestly, I don't
even know what it was because last night was it
last No, it was Monday night. We had my birthday
celebration and I didn't drink at all, and I talked
about having a drink, but when I got that report,
I was like, oh, I don't think I want to.

(02:45):
I don't think I want to drink.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
You know, I didn't even realize we didn't drink. No
champagne or anything.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, I didn't drink anything, and I don't know. Like
I looked it up and there's ways to reverse it,
and which is good because I'm gonna do that and
follow it. But like I'm not an alcoholic. My diet's
pretty good. I mean, you know, we have cheat these
once in a while, but it's not like I'm eating

(03:13):
like fried food every single day or take out every
single day. A lot of the times it's the carnivore.
I eat a lot of meats. I eat a lot
of chicken and steak and vegetables, so I you know,
they did say it could be hereditary too, so I
don't you know. Unfortunately, I don't have anybody to ask

(03:34):
on that that note. But I just I think I'm
gonna try more fasting, which I hate doing, but they
say fasting can reverse it for you, and I don't know.
It sucks because every time I take a test, they
find something else that I have to go.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
To another doctor for.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm just tire to go into these doctors, you know.
So hopefully I can get that cleared up. But otherwise
my cold's going away. I think I sound a lot
better times better. Yeah, I was actually able to do
stuff around the house today and move and feel better.
So that's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, I felt bad for you when we first started
recording about a week ago. We had, you know, a
couple of shows in a row. Basically, yeah, you sounded
so congested. I felt bad, but I was like, man,
we got work to do, but you were so dedicated.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I was like this, this is what we call a
trooper right here.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know, when you have to do it, you don't
really have a choice. Back in the day, it was like,
I don't feel good. Can we not record today? Can
we record another day? We were able to do that,
but listen, iHeartRadio. We have to have it in a
certain time every week and we will be in our chairs,
rain or shine, sickness or health. And it's like a marriage,

(04:56):
isn't it.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's for your favorite release time? Three to one? Am
I am?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I love it. I look at the look at my phone.
I go, is it time yet?

Speaker 5 (05:03):

Speaker 1 (05:04):

Speaker 4 (05:12):

Speaker 1 (05:14):

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh my god? No, that was That was the worst
second show.

thing that the gester will do.

Speaker 3 (05:35):

She's trust me, She's she's all Sometimes all I can handle, okay,
because she's she gets she gets crazy, so sometimes it's
all I can handle. I've been in ac too many
times with her where she is the one that gets
into trouble. I had to carry her out of a
place that then I saw Charles Barkley get carried out.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
What's your hotel of choice? Oh?

Borgotta Borgoda is the only place. But we used to

It's not terrible, but like, I don't know Bally's, but
like fifteen years ago, wasn't like, you know, on top

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Had it's like twentieth anniversary or something, and that was
considered like the new hip.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
The amazing ow.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oceans is really nice too, never been. I went we
we were staying up we Gotta and we we went
over to Oceans and a drunken fury got into uh
An Uber me, Betty and two friends of ours and

It was they just opened it, they had just opened.
It was really pretty. But I've never slept there over night.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
So it's been a while.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, I remember when the borg Gotta first opened. Uh,
Liz had a friend who's uh now ex husband. This
guy might have had what we consider to be a
quote gambling problem.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
This dude just used to get free shit left and right,
swag here, room here, free this, free, free dinner in
this plate.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
And we just used to park our behinds on a
Friday night at Borgatta and go home Sunday morning.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
It was the best time whatever six and seven. Whenever
they first go, oh my god, this guy was degenerate gambler.
But man, we just coasted on his luck. And sometimes
that's right.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Can you go ahead and send the link?

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Already sent, already sent?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay, all right, I'm going to text her and then
when she pops up, we'll give her a little intro. Yeah,
it's it's it's a lot of fun. It's something you know,
I can't do every weekend, obviously, but we go to
maybe every two or three months, so what four times
a year, and I look forward to it. It's a

(11:20):
lot of fun. So we're gonna have a good weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
And you know, and I gotta say, the last time
I was there, could have been one of the most
lame bachelor parties that was ever put together in mankind history.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
It was so boring.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
No, hooker's in a trunk, not a.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Thing I wanted. Oh man, I can now. I'm not gonna.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Criminate anybody by saying anything, but it just was boring. Okay,
well I oh man, all right, I'm trying to remember
it now.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
On the spot it was boring.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I was boring.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
YadA, YadA, YadA. It was boring. So a YadA, YadA YadA.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Let need a better trip because of that's our last
trip there. That kind of sucks.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Boring, boring, boring, boring.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wow, here we go. All right, Okay, So this is
a girl that I owe, a woman I should say
that I've recently met, not too long ago, and I
fell in love with her and I wanted her to
come on the pod to talk to me. She is
a current star of TNA. She's in the system, and
her name is Alicia Edwards. Hello, my dear, I was

(12:29):
so cute. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Right, I'm literally in the middle of moving.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
So I'm like, yes, we just moved this week, and
then we also have work.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
We're traveling tomorrow for New Orleans for no surrender.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well we're gonna talk about that.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
It's been one crazy week, but super excited about everything
and never to actually be here talking to you.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh, I appreciate I love that you came on with
all this going on. Thank you so much for making
time for me of the corse. I appreciate that. So
I was saying that I've recently met you. We were
at a couple.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Khan was it Dallas?

Speaker 6 (13:15):
You know, I always get so confused with them all,
but like it was one of those conventions.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
It was one of the cons and Brian Myers was
having like a party in his room and he had
invited Shane and I and we were like the oldest
people there. And I was like, I don't know, they're
gonna be all young. I don't know if they're gonna
want to talk to me or not. And so we
went and it was so funny because Shane was sitting

(13:40):
on the other side and like he can't hear. He's like, God,
like this is try hear people talk to him. There
were so many people in the room, but I got
to sit with you for a little bit and chat
and you were so sweet, and I was like, I
love these girls. And it was Impact. At the time,
I said, if I can be anywhere, I'd want to

(14:01):
work for Impact because you girls were so down the
earth and so sweet and not in a fake, you know,
that fake bitchy kind of way. No, you guys were
so welcoming and so nice to me and to Shane,
even though he didn't know what world he was in.
But it was so fun and I was like, oh
my god, I feel like it's nineteen ninety sixty guys,

(14:23):
like I felt, Yeah, it's different.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I mean, I also think like it was a good
group that night. So a lot of us are grizzled
at this point, so we're kind.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Of like we're kind of grizzled from your generation of
like like kind of being humble and kind of just
hanging and like kind of being real, right, And that's
kind of how we connected, right, We just there's no bullshit,
there's no it's it's not like it's black or white,
and that's it.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
It was great.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
It was great, were very It was a very old
school too, so I think that's kind of how we.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Connected as well.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
So I think that's a lost art because there's so
many people like around your age that don't think the
way you do, and they have a totally different vibe,
like going into like their locker room, they don't even
look at you. Yeah, so you know. And I'm not
saying like when when we walk into a room, everybody's

(15:18):
got to bow down. But it's nice for people to say, oh, hi,
if you say if I say hi, I'm Francine. I
don't want you to say yeah, I know. I want
you to go, hi, I'm so and so, and then
you can have a conversation. And some people are so rude,
and you guys were the best and so nice and
I had such a good time just on.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I can't wait. I can't wait for part two.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I hope there's a part too, because I love.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
There's always there's always a sequel.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is a part two somewhere?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Right, Yes, there will always be a part two.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
But I also think.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
I kind of got lucky with my career where I
kind of was brought and like I saw started like
I don't know, I always hate saying how long I've wrestled,
but over fifteen years ago where things were a lot different, right, So,
like I'm kind of very blessed that I got to
you know, learn the business during that time because now

(16:18):
when I'm like in the game, I'm very rational and
not entitled as like how the.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
New generation might seem.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
She's so like, I really think I kind of got
lucky because like if I got signed maybe ten years ago,
I might not have that mentality, right, So like a
lot of times like, oh.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Well I'm thirty seven, I've been around for a whiles.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
It like passed my time, and I really think it's
like my prime where it's wild, because I thought it
was more towards the end, right, So I really think
I got kind of lucky of my journey of where
I started, what generation I started with, because then I
have that mentality of like things are a lot different,
Like it was very hard for me to evolve with

(17:00):
wrestling as like things change, like inter gender wrestling, more
of the spots and matches.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm more of a storyteller. I like the energy, like
you know what I mean, Like the valet part of it,
the entertainment part of it.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
Like I hate wrestling, to be honest, but I do
it because you kind of have to, right.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
So you would rather work ringside than be a competitor,
a full fledged wrestler.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
If obviously, if I get paid the same as if
I had to put boots, like you know what I mean,
like if it's the same as that one, right.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
And I also think it takes a lot of work
to be a ringside. A lot of people kind of take.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
Don't understand how much work it really truly takes. Like
you're kind of a puzzle piece to a lot of things.
Like right now, we have the system, which is a
good group that we have. It's Moose, Eddie Edwards, myself
and Myers, and you know, sometimes people like, oh, well,
she's just a girl. No, the like the manager sometimes

(18:04):
is a really important piece of the group.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
It kind of is the glue that holds it all together.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
So I think, like sometimes I second guess the whole
ring side thing, but I think it's actually a good
trait to have and be able to, you know, perform
in that, you know, because a lot of people can't
be a good valet. I mean, you could go out
there and look good, but that doesn't mean I mean,
look at you, you were a great valet and easw.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, thank you. I agree with your statement. I feel
like the art of the valet manager has been missing
for a really long time. There was a lot There
was a very long stretch where they didn't have anybody
at ringside. It was just the two workers or the
four workers for a tag or whatever. And like me,

(18:52):
I always loved watching the girls on the outside because
you never know when they're going to get involved, and
there was always that aspect of oh my god, what
is she going to do? Yeah, and it keeps the
people on their toes. They're watching you to see how
you're reacting to the match. So, yes, you are a
key puzzle piece in that whole scenario of the angle,

(19:14):
and sometimes the angle will revolve completely around the girl.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I mean done. We've done a lot of cool things.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
And I think like Eddie, like right now, he's a heel,
but sometimes it's kind of hard to hate him. And
then once I turn the yale and I aligned with him,
it's so much easier to hate him because it's easy
to hate me. Right, So I think I bring that
extra element to it as well. So I mean, like

(19:42):
I said, I think it's a job in itself to
kind of be at LA.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, I think you guys are doing a great job.
I was recently in Disney world, and we got access
and I sat down, I watched the whole hour, and
you guys were on it, And first of all, you
looked gorgeous. It's absolutely gorgeous. But I like it reminds
me a little bit of the Triple Threat. It's like,
you know, you got the three guys, you got the

(20:07):
hot manager. Not put myself over as hot, but you
know what I'm saying. You looked great and and everybody
worked together so well, and it just I love the
aspect of a girl being at ringside. So I'm so
glad that you get to do that and you're enjoying
it as well.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I don't think you're never you're not adding anything, because
you are adding a ton to that act.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, thanks, I appreciate it. Sometimes I guess I have to.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
I guess like because back to the whole thing of
i'd rather be ringside. Sometimes that gets in my my
brain or my wrestling brain, not my real brain, but
my wrestling brain. That sometimes like if you're on the
forefront of like the championship, like you're you don't matter
that much. But I think I've been at Impact long

(20:54):
enough and I'm getting to the point where I'm comfortable
with my spot and I know where I'm valuable and
I think it's great. And I mean I couldn't do
it without the team at Impact well TNA, But yes,
I think, and I also think the boys it's a
good group, Like we're friends.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Myers is great, Moss is great, and I think us
being close on the road as well kind of brings
out the best in each and like all of us,
I think we kind of like strive to make sure
we do better each time. And I mean it's great.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah, And you develop that trust because you're not only
friends on the inside, but your friends on the outside.
And you're working with your husband, Yes, you're trust your
husband who you're gonna trust you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, I mean sometimes I want to kill them, but it's.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Okay, of course we all want to kill our husbands.
Can you comment on Scotts Moore, like what was the
collective thought when he was let go? Because I remember
reading it and I was shocked.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
I think like everyone was shocked. I think the wrestling
world was shocked, the locker room was shocked.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
I think our momentum is probably the highest it's been
in years, even a decade.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
I would say.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
I mean I've been with Impact six seven years, so
almost close to a decade. I think is we have
the highest momentum we've had, So I think the firing
of Scott kind of came. It was a little blindsided,
but I mean, like, what are you gonna do? I mean,
I'm loyal to Scott, but I'm also loyal to TNA,
and I think, you know, the engine needs to keep running,

(22:32):
and I think we need to keep the momentum going,
like that's all we can really do. I mean, Scott
was a real puzzle piece in our journey that we had,
you know, making TNA what it is now. But I mean,
at the end of the day, the locker room did
as much work as Scott did. So I think the
locker room just needs to come together and stay positive

(22:53):
and keep the ball rolling, and I mean that's.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
All we can really do at this point.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, it just came as like a shock because I
remember watching the name change and how passionate Scott was
giving that speech and just screaming about TNA and chanting
the letters, and then like two weeks later I read
that he's like gone, and I was just like that sucks,
because he's been there forever, so I could imagine it's

(23:19):
a huge bummer in the locker room.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
And yeah, I mean, and I guess the bummer is
because the moral in the locker room is very high
right now.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
But I mean maybe that's a blessing in disguise, and
I think that's truly gonna what brings all of us
together to kind of you know, make sure that I mean,
because there are gonna be people that are emotionally attached
to Scott. Like Scott wasn't Jasah Ross. He was our mentor,
he was a coach. He inspired us, he pushed us,
he yelled at us, like you know what I mean,

(23:49):
Like it was all of it. So like he was
very important to a lot of people on the roster,
and we built a lot of relationships over the years too,
So it was very it was like we had to
grieve a little. But I mean at the end of
the day, like the show doesn't stop, like.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
The show must go on.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, We're gonna keep going, and like right now, like are.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Momentum is good, We're going to Vegas again at the Palms. Yeah,
let's talk about that.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
So now Surrenders coming up this weekend, Yes, we have
New Orleans and then we have windsor and then we're
in Philly at the ECB Arena, which that happened again. Yeah,
that's awesome. I wish I could get down their first show.
Maybe someday I will.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, I'm gonna say, well, where are you? Wherever you are,
you don't have.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
To say, but wherever you are, you do need to
come Meeta is somewhere.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yes, I would love that. Here, what are we pulling? Here?
We get look at that graphic. That's great.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
That's a great.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Countdown no surrender graphic.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
The boys versus Kashida and Kevin Knight, which is great.
And then we have Moves versus Alex Shelley in the
main event, so that's also great.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Like we have a big night and we have a
big weekend for t.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
So do you get to get down and party a
little bit before?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's what I lived for.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
You just missed our whole talk. You just missed it
by five minutes at City.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Are you originally from the Westerns? No, God from You're
always from Boston.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
I'm from Well, so I'm like kind of.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Like, don't exactly the.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Middle of Boston?

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Well no, No, the middle of Boston and Rhode Island,
So I ever really stung like like Celts Rhode Island accent.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
So I'm like celth shore of Boston.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Okay, so East Coast scirl the whole time. Where did
you train when you got it? Like who trained you?

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Oh God, I will never tell you anybody who would
trained me. Originally, I like, well, it was a school
that was like really didn't know the basics, Like it
wasn't really like the footwork or anything.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
But it taught me like the storytelling.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
And all that, okay, and you learn, yeah, And.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I was grateful for that.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
But like I ended up finding home at Chaotic Wrestling, yes,
which I was Killer Kowalski school but turned into Chaotic
Wrestling at the time. I worked for them for I
would say probably six years in so like I kind
of had my bad techniques already and and then I

(26:20):
met Eddie and like I had Nikki Rocks, I had
John Walters like all those.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
You know what I mean, slick Wagoner Brown, like all
those people are.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Yeah, I would say, all those like really good like
because the Independence they were kind of doing that at
the time, right, So I was green at the time
and I kind of learned from them, so I kind
of got lucky a good group of supportive people, and
then I found a really good school after kind of
learning I don't know my charisma and storytelling, so it.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
All ways out right. And then how did you end
up over in TNA?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
So Eddie was there for a while, and then and
they wanted to do a storyline with Davy Richards and
Angel at the time, and they were married, so they
wanted to bring me as the wife. So I came
in for a couple I mean, I was still kind
of trying to get there on my own in the wrestling,
so I would do the knockout. I did the knockouts knockdown,

(27:18):
and then during the same around the same time, they
pitched the storyline to do bring me in as Eddie's wife,
and then a storyline with them, and it kind of
was a wrapped after that, I got signed and then
it's been yeah, I don't know, fast wage six years
later and here we are.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Wow, that's awesome. That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
I don't think a lot of people realize how much
Chaotic like set the bar for a lot of people
who were in like.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Really big spots throughout the business. Right now, like Chaotic
in that time frame that you were there, sprinkled a
lot of people throughout the promotion that you watched out
on a weekly basis.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yes, a lot of people are and it's still trucking
on KOFE. And then it was even like even after COOFE,
there was more people like Tamasa Champa because it's even
like even more generations because now if we go to
the newer generation, Kamela Hayes came from Chaota Wrestling, like he's.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Killing the NXT area like a lot of people do
come from Kaota WRESTLINGD.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
So you shout out and now it's Kaota Wrestling, but
it's also NEPA. They're training school which is owned by
Chase Demonte. I don't know if you ever heard of
Chase Demonte. He's been around the East Coast for years,
but he now has it.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
So it's New England Pro Wrestling Academy, I believe.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
But shout out to them too. They have a fantasy
camp coming up, So yeah, do.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
You ever forget to go back there because you're now
I know you guys are getting busier.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
So actually, funny, funny, funny thing that you asked, so
I do go back there now. I've actually, for the
past I would say three to four months, I've tried
to run production for Chaotic Wrestling, So I've been trying
to get more valuable on behind the scenes, so like,
you know, when I'm really done bumping, then I'll still.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Have a job.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Longevity in the business is definitely on my mind right now,
so I'm slowly getting into that. So right now on
the independence that help Chaotic with their pre tapes or
like their promos and their social media and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
So I actually do that in between.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Impact because it is not a heavy schedule, but we
also have our data which takes a lot.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Of our time.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
So yeah, how old is she now?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
So it should be turned in seven?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Oh my god, my son's going to be twelve next
week and then my daughter's gonna be fifteen, So I'll like,
good lord, But you're smart to say that, because I
remember I was trying to learn production from Paul and
I would go up to the studio and watch him

(30:04):
put the show together, yeah, and see how like he
did everything. And then I was able to like go
run a women's fed for some those because of the
knowledge that I got, so you're super smart for doing
stuff like that. I mean, we can't be in front
of the camera.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
No, And I mean it's and I also know that
you know, you're not on top for a long time.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
It doesn't last.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
Forever, man, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like you're
there for a while and then things change. It's it's
kind of like how life goes right. So and like
I and again and like I just want.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
To do as much I try.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
I do like a little of a more behind scenes
of trying to help with the girls in a Connecticut
with some custom wrestling, trying to like promote girls, help
girls make money in the business.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Like I feel like the hustling.

Speaker 6 (30:54):
Part of like you know how it there was only
two spots for girls, so like you had to hustle
and grind and I feel like a lot of that's
kind of missing too.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
So if they don't move as much these things, no,
my god, we gonna make some money, you know what
I mean. I feel like, I mean, I'm a lot
older than you, obviously, but back in the day, I
didn't have social media to rely on, and it's so
easy to just put a tweet out and say, hey,
who wants to buy my dress two hundred dollars or

(31:25):
whatever they do, and boom they get the money. I
had to work my ass off back then because I
want to put a tweet out, you know, we had
to use like eBay or we had to like we
had to get creative. And I feel like.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
And i' and it's like not, I feel like it's
hard work.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
So it teaches you a lesson because like now, when
things are just given to people, there's no lesson learn
Like it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I mean, I I believe I'm not hating on them
because if I had the tools back in the day, yes,
I would make it.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
This is what I say. Make your money exact way
you do it. Just make your money.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I don't hate on anyone. You make your money however
you want to make it, and if you feel good
about yourself, that's all that counts. I don't care what
you do. I know what I can do, but you
know you do you and that's what I say. But
you're going to Vegas. We have the big pay per view.
What do you guys do for fun? Because I love
Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Okay, we go.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
We did.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
I planned an after party, so a little behind the
scenes of Impact two. I'm kind of like, I call
myself the VP of Morele so I help with like
extra parties, extra things to do to get everyone together.
So we had an after party at the Nerd Bar
and then we had a party bus and we went
out with like thirty people ended up going out, so
it was great.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
How fine, can you be the VP of Wressel Khan
and plan an after party on Saturday night?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yes, yes, I will. Of course I want to go.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I really want to go. Are you definitely coming?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
So me, I believe Gail and I are speaking about
making a trip there. I'm trying to keep it not
work so that we can actually just hang out and.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
All right, well, now that we have each other's number,
let me know. Yes, Will, I'll be there Fursday to Sunday,
so I'm there for the long haul.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
All right, Well, I'm I'm already gonna start brating some
I'm and some party ideas that we do.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I'm looking forward. We don't have anything to do Saturday night,
none of us are booked, so we're all like, oh,
what are we gonna do? We're gonna go to dinner
out yere going out, Let's do something I'll bring a
party dress and it'll be great. Yes, love it for

to follow you on socials?

Speaker 6 (33:45):

than Twitter. But yes, oh and shout out, that's my Facebook.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Look at you, we got everything going on?

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Why do you?

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I don't like IG. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I love IG. I hate Twitter.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
See Twitter's nice because I hate posting pictures of myself.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
Like I guess it's because I hate talking, Like, I
hate that. I have to like Twitter is just like
random thoughts and stuff and I'm like, am over, Like
I just use Twitter for like promoting like shows and
like Unpact basically.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Or anything that's going on and that thing.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
And my Facebook is kind of I keep that a
little not personal, but more on friends and close family
and you know, some diehard.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Fans, I would say. But then Instagram, I just I
don't know. I love it.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
You just supposed a picture and it kind of you know,
pictures of a thousand words.

Speaker 1 (34:50):

I post it's like nineteen ninety six. Here's a picture
of Refra.

like my own but I just love I love Instagram.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
I love the reels. I love like kind of like

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, so get the trends and stuff. You know.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I can't even I just you're lucky I can get online.

too long. I know you're in the process of moving
and stuff. I wish you luck for the pay per view,
hope some kicks because I love.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
You, know, I mean, I'm sure the tag titles will
be coming in the future very soon.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well, you can happen the manager.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
I'm manifesting it. This would be the first. This is
the source of where it all started.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Here, that's right, Oh my god, I have credit for that. Well, listen,
I hopefully we'll keep in touch. Good luck, and hopefully
I'll see in a couple of weeks. No, yeah, what's.

I love you. Ye isn't she adorable?

Speaker 4 (36:15):
There? She is there, she's not, she's here, she's gone.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
It's good.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Sweet.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I didn't want to hold her too long because she's
got a lot going on.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
But you're moving. You got one track mine, So that's great.
She came on.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
She's smart for I would call her a young and
compared to me, she's thirty seven. She's young, but she's
got a good head on her shoulders, you know what
I mean. She's hip, she knows what's going on, and
I like that about her. So she's got it. I'm
telling you. I saw them when I was in Florida,

(36:49):
and like that faction. There's something special with them. She
looked breathtaking. She looked so good and they just look
like a strong like you know, Moose is a big dude,
and Eddie's big, Bryan's big.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
Like.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
They have such a good look to them, and I
think they're going to be a force to reckon with
their in DNA. So I was happy to have her on.
She did great, and uh, I like the way she's
just like you know me. I love the party.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Hey open and honest, I like that.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
That's great, so good honor. But it wouldn't it be
nice to just like work for a company and they're like, oh,
all right, we're going to work in Vegas. You got
to come in the night before, though, do I okay?
Like how cool mcday? I missed those days.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Great place for a wrestling weekend, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
I mean we we never I never worked in Las
Vegas to my recollection, but like our thing was Fort Larderdale.
We would go to Fort Larderdale, come in early, stay late.
That was our party haven. But I mean Sin City,
that should be a whole level.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
WCW used to run Vegas all the time every year,
and AWA used to have TV tapings in Vegas. How
could you not want to pick a spot like that?
There's always something going on right right, But now it's
got to be even better because there's double the amount
of stuff going on now. They have sports teams to

(38:22):
boot like, they've got a million things to choose from.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
It's sphere. Have you seen that sphere? Am I saying
that correct?

Speaker 4 (38:31):
I've seen yeah, I've seen the pictures of it.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I feel like if I was in there, I would
get vertigo really badly, and I think I would throw up. Okay,
it's all like somebody was describing it as a bunch
of like huge screens, so when you're watching stuff, it's
like it's just like the whole sphere is screens inside

(38:54):
and it's completely overwhelming. He said he was thrown off
a little bit trying to like look at uh. I
don't know what they were. It must have been a
sports thing, I would think, or a concert, but I
think I would get sick.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
I can absolutely see it. It's pretty uh it's pretty massive, So.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, I don't think I would do well in there.
And I also I also went on the high roller
have you seen that? And that was like terrifying. But
you're going so slow, it's like you're not even moving.
And you could put twenty people in one of your pods.

(39:36):
It fit's up to like twenty people. You could have
a party, like people were literally having parties in their.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Pod, party pod.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
It was a party pod. I was pregnant with my
son and I was just like I was petrified at
because I don't like heiats right, and I'm kind of
standing there and it felt like we were at the
top for forty two minutes. I'm like, is this thing
ever going to move? It moves ever so slowly, and
you're just because you only go around once, right, So
it just it took forever, and I was just it

(40:04):
was very cool though. The views were spectacular. But if
you don't like heights, man, that's that's not for you.
So I don't like heights. I can't do big screen.
I mean, I am the worst when it comes to like,
let's go do stuff because half the stuff I just
can't do. I suck. That's why in Disney World, I
rode the bench for so long. I couldn't go on anything.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
You're a benchwarmer.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
I was a bench warmer. It's very lonely. I just
sat there and watched people walk by, or all the
families going on the ride, and I'm just like, why
can't I know one? I want to go on that ride,
but I can't suck funny yeah, so oh well, what
are you gonna do? Oh there's Alicia, Thank you so much.

(40:52):
She hearts put her little hearts. I love that. I
love when happy. What's that?

Speaker 4 (40:58):
I said? That's so kind?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Too kind? Thank you so much. Blah blah blah. What
was I just going to tell you, do we have,
oh YouTube, let's promote some YouTube.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Oh my gosh, there's tons of videos to choose from.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
So we have a new video going up. We're not
going to say too much about it right now because
you're gonna have to come over and watch it. But
Twitter was very exciting. Or should I say x X?

Speaker 4 (41:23):
I still got to go Twitter? I can't.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
I know, I always call it Twitter.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
It says X in the left corner as I'm looking
at it on the screen here.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
I can't get involved with saying it's Twitter.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
It's yeah. It's always going to be the Twitter machine
because you.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Say, when you tweet and it's it's called X, what
are you saying? You're xing?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean I think you're posting now, Oh.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
That's true because it says reposted.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yea post And I'm just like this. I always say,
I'm going to tweet it. Maybe it is out yet,
Well it is X, But I mean it'll always be
Twitter to me. I don't know. But anyway, there were
several fights on Twitter, and I guess I caused them all.

(42:10):
So if you're interested, come on over to ECW DVA
Francine and see what the fuss is about because people
are still fighting. I'm looking right now, are real They're
still fighting? Yeah? Yeah, they're fighting amongst themselves over me. Well,
some of them are really good and then some of
them hate me, and I'm just like wow, amazing. And

(42:33):
might I say all the people who hate me are
twenty five and younger. The youngest I saw was sixteen
years old. Oh Jesus fighting, Yes it was. It was.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Get over it, go get a pet, you know.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
But we're not going to talk about too much. Just
come on over and we're going to talk about it
over on YouTube. It's it's gonna be uh who as
they say, because I'm not getting upset anymore over this stuff.
I've used that black button like there was no tomorrow today.
I was blocking left and right.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
There's no reason to get upset. Right, you take action?

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Oh I took action? Yes you did, but you know
at the comments we're going to discuss it over there
because I'll let you know. But I was trying to
like get ready and get dinner ready, and I had
to turn my notifications off because I would go through
twenty It goes up to twenty plus. If you notice

(43:31):
on your little icon thing. It'll say twenty plus or
twenty one plus. I would clear that out and it
would go right back to twenty. I couldn't clear it
fast enough. Great, and I am not exaggerating these and
the people were arguing amongst themselves and using foul language
and it was too much. Too much.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Well that's because of the topic, because the topic is
something that people are very passionate about.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
Yeah, and I think that that's why.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yeah, Well we're going to discuss it. So come on
over subscribe if you haven't subscribed, we're past ten thousand,
we're on our way to eleven. And our latest video
is doing really well on Vince McMahon, so if you
haven't watched that yet, please give that a watch as well.
But you can tell us.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
Where you're going to be well, you know me, it's
at Chad E and B on Twitter or x yes,
and you can go to Instagram at IB Exclusives.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Okay. If you want to follow me on social media
across the board, you can find me at ECW Diva Francine.
