Speaker 1 (00:17):
Welcome on into the Daily Life of Frank podcast, episode
two hundred and eighty seven. As the fan hurls around
in the background, Welcome on in to another edition of
the Day Life of Frank.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hello, Hello, Hello, welcome. How is everybody doing doing Okay?
I'm tired, I'm exhausted, I'm burnt out. I don't even
know what else to say. There's probably more adjectives.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
To describe how I feel, but I'm right, I'm here,
you know, doing my best like we all can do.
And thank you for listening. The numbers for the podcast
are up again this week, which that means a lot,
it really does. And I am so appreciative of those
(01:18):
who are listening, those who are sharing the podcast, and
the podcast keeps on growing and growing, and very very
appreciative of everything, because you know, it's one of those
things I've always been, the traits that I have. I'm
always loyal, I am very grateful, and you know, I'm
(01:38):
I'm I'm a fighter, meaning I don't want my life
to be dictated, you know, by negative things, so I
fight to get through them, right. You know, it was
in the hospital I thought to get through that. You know,
you go through a rough patch. You got to fight
through get through that, and yeah, so I am very appreciative,
Thank you so much. This podcast make it as real
(02:01):
as one real podcast can be. Ninety nine point nine
percent is real. The other point one percent, you know,
I got to have a life too, right, The other
point one percent is hell.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm an open fucking book. I will tell you anything anytime.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I could go I could, I could literally like
walk out of here and shit myself and trip and
fall down a fly of stairs with Dookie in my pants,
and I probably would tell you because, you know what,
I want this podcast to be relatable and to have
people say, God, that's funny, I'm relating to that, or God,
(02:40):
my life isn't that bad, thank god?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You know. So it's that point one though, we can't, right.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Because you know, you've got to keep some relationships going
on and everything. You know, I can't bitch and moan
about everything, and you can. You can't, you know, sometimes
share things that you want to share, because well, hell,
if that's the case, then you know, now this podcast
was making a lot of money, I would be a
fucking tell all book. I won't even give a shit.
(03:07):
Don't filter, Frank tell my daughter to keep that that
jingle going because I do it. But you got to
keep that point one percent. And I am not going
to complain anymore. Well, there's maybe some complaints, but who knows,
because you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You guys are. You know, you guys don't want to
hear me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You know, just just make this podcast be a Debbie
Downer episode, right. We had that last week, no, two
weeks ago when I cried and no crying on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And you know, I am sick of complainers.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I really am, which which is I know I'm sort
of complaining, I really do, but I'm sick a complainer.
And I know, I know I don't like to get
into the political realm of the world or any of that.
I really do not. I really, I really don't because
you know what, uh, I just I try to stay
away from it. But you know, sometimes it doesn't matter
(04:00):
if you're you know, on the right or on the left, Republican, Democrat, independent.
I never look at those things when I vote anyway.
I always look at the issues and what it's going
to shape for the current atmos atmosphere, and what it's
going to shape for the future of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
My kids and those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But I'll tell you Michelle Obama, now, Michelle Obama, Michelle,
I loved you.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I loved you. And in President Obama, what a what
a what a?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know, like I would say, the the all American family, right, everything, Right,
we're complaining a lot on this on the on this
tour we're doing. And like I said, I love the Obamas.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I do. I do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Uh. They kind of fucked up my insurance, but that's
another story for a different day.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But I do, I do. And maybe it's my fault.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And maybe I'm not getting the full, the whole full
thing for Michelle uh when she has this new podcast,
But it seems like it's all all complaints.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's all complaints.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Like I heard her the other day complaining that they
had to buy their own food in the White House,
and I'm thinking, what, you had to buy your own
food in the White House?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
There's a lot of things that we can go there, right, right,
But number one, your initiative was to skinny up all
the fat kids in the world, right, including myself, And
that didn't happen. Well I'm not a kid, but it
didn't happen, right, maybe that would have been here. Look,
we're buying vegetables, so you gots to buy vegetables too. Maybe,
you know, a couple more Sesame Street episodes would help, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And you know, it's like, okay, what do you what
do you want? What do you want? You're complaining about?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know, you guys were in charge of the you know,
the United States, the nation, the nation in some of
the world too at that matter.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, I don't know, I don't know. I just
can't can't stand complainers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's like, one minute, you know, we're complaining, you know
that we had to buy our own food in the
White House, and then get out of the White House
and we have a chef, and then we don't have
a chef.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You know, it's like, why what do we want to
do here? All right? I don't know what I'm trying
to say even I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Maybe I'm just trying to say I guess you know, Hillary,
Hillary is getting a little sloppy at her old age. No,
that's not what I'm trying to say, or am I
trying to say it right now? No, I'm not suicidal.
Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The funny thing is that that joke I just did,
which is a joke obviously not our complaining or you know.
I'll try to listen to more of the podcasts. Maybe
the snippets are throwing me out. But that joke had
to get through, Clarence. I'll tell you right now. I'm
surprised my wife didn't bring in a goddamn legal team
to get that joke. Claire, Yeah, a little bit ooh
the chef coming, I know, I know, but even me,
(06:56):
who's not that bright when it comes to politics or history,
could see that it looks a little skeptical. Right once again,
I'm not suicidal. Oh my fucking god. But you know,
the funny thing is I almost got the clearance to
say the full joke, the full joke. That's that's only
half a joke. Maybe at the Old Mine Own comedy special,
(07:17):
I could do the whole full joke for that one. Oh,
it's it's more. It involves food and everything else. It's
it's a crazy one. It's a crazy one, but not
as bad as the aristocrats joke and do not google
that do not fucking google that, all right, do not?
Gilbert Godfrey I think was in that one and Bob
(07:37):
sagat God bless them. But yeah, I I don't think
they're telling the Lord that up there and Heaven. I
could go, well, maybe yeah, maybe they are, maybe God.
Maybe God has to six up to Hubret.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't know the way my life is going. Some
days I think he does, I really do. And then
again maybe the world's come.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know. Because we had a dust store morning.
If you had a dust storm morning, I thought, where
the fuck? Why where do we transfer into? Are we
in Arizona right now? I know it feels like that.
So when my phone popped up and said dust store warning,
I said, what the literal fuck is going on? Okay, tornadoes,
fire warnings are getting used to, but a fucking dust
(08:13):
storm warning. Jesus Christ, what was going on there? Look
outside look like I don't know, it looks like just
brown brown in the sky. My wife's like, what do
we do for a dust on morning? I'm like, I
don't fucking know. I wasn't born in the eighteen hundreds,
so I don't know what they do all right, I
don't know what they did. Okay, you know, I don't
(08:35):
expect a dust store. There's more property out there than
eighteen twenty. Felt like we're in the fucking Last of
Us for a second. All dusty still in my head
at that Last of Us episode four. Uh, and it's
not you know, let me stop right here. Love is
love if you do. I'm gonna say this, this is
coming from a dad. Right, do what you want to do,
(08:56):
Marry who you want to marry, Love who you fucking
wan of love?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
All right? Do it now? Don't let my ocd Okay,
because a beautiful scene. You know, we.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Finally got to the climax of these two girls who've
been fighting and fighting and loving each other and they're
about to express their love in ways that are are
just you know, they're passionate. But goddamn it, you've been
riding around horseback before fucking days. None of you showered.
(09:30):
There's stuff finger fingernails, for God's sakes. I took a
shower after that, and no, it wasn't a cold one,
was a warm one, because that's what it's out there,
all the dust blowing around. But you know, then again
made the world's coming to it at the end, right
the end of days. They say, if you go down
that pope rabbit hole, that this is the last pope
and once he dies, the world comes do it and
(09:52):
that if we're looking, we're looking for the biblical sense
of it, there's gonna be like an overabundance of mosquitoes.
We may not know it's at the end. We may
think it's summer. Well, there's a lot of fucking mosquitoes
out here.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I think I do that puplic thing again, the conclay,
What does that happen? And they can be the world
coming to an.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Inro we know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know, but I'll tell you, you know, having a
little bit of rough patch.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Uh So, like you know, but God's give me a sign.
God's given me, give me a sign.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Uh And the sign is, you know, it's gonna be
through Spotify. Because everything that you listen to through Spotify
this week, I really begin to think God is dj X,
That's what he's He's dj X. Because everything I listened
to this week it was, you know, like Christian Aguilera,
you're a fighter, you know, like I will survive right.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What came on though, I didn't get was jay z
uh which it was ninety nine problems and I got
ninety nine problems and what a bitch isn't one of them?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Or whatever?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I'm like, what what does that mean? God tell me
everything else? I understand fighter, you know, you know, don't
give up sacrifice, you know that kind of thing. I
get it all right, don't get that one though. That
what I'm still trying to ponder my head around.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Really don't.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm contractedly obligated to talk about Moose the Cat on
this podcast. He he he has wrote it, wrote it
into the contract.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't know how he got a contract. I don't
know how he did it, but he did it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, he did it, mister Moose the Cat contract. Moose
Cat's doing good.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He wants to be one of the kid oh so
bad and one of the boys especially so my son
had his friend over and this kid is is amazing.
This kid is just like the ideal ideal kid you
want your kids to hang on around with, right, Because
I'll say it, and I don't care. You know what,
my son a little bit has been an asshole. He
(11:55):
has I know, When I say it that, people are like, oh,
he's so sweet. It's like he is putting it out
of front. I told you last week he might be
the god damn Anti Christ. I don't know. We are
still experiencing it, but as so weeks go on, I'm
beginning to think he is. Can I do an exorcism?
I don't know if he needs it, but can we
just try it. I remember back in the day before
I had kids, and somebody once sets up being like
(12:17):
I don't extend, like, oh, these little assholes talking about
their kids or something.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I was like mortified.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm like, oh my god, I call your kids' assholes,
and I'm thinking, oh the shit, let's be real, because
sometimes they are assholes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Right. Sometimes they're like cars. Right.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You love your car. You spend a lot of money
on your car, and one day that car says I'm
not listening and I'm not working. Walk your fat ass
to work in the cold, bitch. You're like, you don't go, oh,
it's okay, it's okay. Car that hasn't start, and now
I have to get to my job, which I can't
thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You're like, you asshole car. Sometimes sometimes things are assholes.
I guess that's the moral of the story. The only
good thing going right now. I know there's many good things,
but my son, he has a he has also a.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Uh like a argumentive stage. That's what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He unless he's trying to just fuck me in the head,
because he uh, every day he'll make a point and go,
Lebron James is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.
I'm like, what the fuck, get out of my house,
pack your bags, go. This is Chicago. Don't say that shit.
I could get beat up for saying that. You're saying
that shit, pack your shit, get out. And I'm like,
you don't even watch basketball. Just don't fucking do that.
(13:30):
If you watch basketball and you were, you know, and
I have a basketball fan, you watch it every fucking day,
and you're like, you know what, Michael Jordan is not
that good and Lebron's better than I'm like, all right,
let me hear.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Your point, but you don't even watch basketball? All right?
Then he got me the other day good too. It
was a zinger and a.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Half and I was like, oh, I said, my god, Like,
you know, he's a boy, he's hey, he's growing up.
His dad, we both have eyes. A beautiful woman comes
on the TV. I was like, hey, oh she's cute
or she's pretty. It was due a leap. I said,
do a leap is gorgeous? He is gorgeous. He goes, nah,
she's not. What the fuck is wrong with you? Because
(14:07):
now I know you're fucking with me?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I tried to City's Sweety that I go, City Sweety,
she's gorgeous. Not really, you're fucking around, all right. You
gotta fucking around to find out in a minute. I mean,
but he has jokes. He has jokes, and he's had
this long running joke since he was three. I always
asked him at three, I said.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, who's your favorite dad?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like kind of doing that, you know, playing off the kids.
He always says to me when he used to watch
Ryan's World, it's Ryan's Dad. I'm like, huh, Now, I
didn't know this kid was gonna carry on this joke
from three to eight.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But he does.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But he makes it more personal because now when I
ask him who's your favorite dad, he doesn't say He
doesn't say Ryan's World because he doesn't watch Ryan's World.
He says his friend, his best friend's dad, he says
his name. You know what kind of fucking you know? Uh?
Did the kid listen to the last two weeks? I'm
a little depressed. You can't make me, you know, continue
(14:58):
my depression with shit like that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right. My therapist would.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Say, they knock you out of my life, but I
can't because you're in my car right now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Ah. But no, it's funny what he says, that he
gets a good kick out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Me. I laughed, But I think it crushes my soul.
Just a tad bet, Yes, it's a tad bet, Just
a tad bet.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Maybe I'm hoping for a bond, like you know Caleb
Williams and his dad. You know they have the bond, right,
they have the bond.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Non issue.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't know how to put this in words. That
is a non fucking issue. Would you really want to
go to the fucking Chicago Bears if you knew quarterbacks?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fucking just die there.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They haven't had a quarterback Goods and Sid Luckman, Sid
fucking Luckman. Okay, And I know there was some games
with Jay Cutler and everything, you know, you know, gets
the Packers. I would have fucking I don't know. I
would have shot thirty things on my knee and I
would have taped it up and got out there.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But that's just me.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Probably not. I probably would have cried. But yeah he didn't. Yeah,
he didn't want to play for the Bears. Oh it's
a shocker. And his dad said no, like you know,
dad came out and did some interviews for that book,
and who cares. Oh, we try to get out of
the bar. I don't give a shit. I really don't,
all right. I mean, if you want to point, like
look at look at Eli Manning. That fucker got out
(16:18):
of that one. Right. He didn't want to play for
the Chargers. Okay, it was smart in the end. Look
at my Super Bowls he won. But it's like it's
a non issue. It's non issue. It's not it's just
it's just non issue, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Okay. It's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What we're trying to make. We always try to make
an issue out of something. There's always like we got
to make a fucking you know.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Issue.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It's like it's it's sometimes that media on that news
they got to drive something. It's like, I don't get
I don't care if he came out right now, it's like, yeah,
I didn't want to play for this team. I really didn't.
And then they're like, people are like trying to twist it.
He didn't want to play for Chica. Who didn't love Chicago?
What the fuck are you talking about? It's the team, Okay,
you know there are some days that I don't want
to be in fucking Chicago, right, Okay, there's some days. Okay,
(17:07):
I like my criminals to paybal but that's just me.
It's another story for a different day. Now, listen has
to be called political podcasts, and we're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Holy fucking shit. I have no filter, really, I don't,
you know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And they have a great relationship Kayler and his dad,
from what I'm guessing, I have a relationship with my dad.
Of course, there were some hiccups along the way. No,
he's not doing a tell all book, you know, he's
not doing that. But my dad, you know what he
used to do. He used to work a long fucking day,
long hard day, and he would work right it would
be you know, uh, just long hours. He you know,
(17:42):
he worked for the trains one time. Like he is
a hard he has a hard worker on that right,
And he would come home and he would take his
socks off from a hard day. You know how sweet
sweaty your feet is from being on your feet all day,
and he would put his socks right on the goddamn
kitchen table.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm not kidding you, okay, but I still love my dad.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Gross the shit out and I go off of my
family because it's a PTSD when I'm like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Why is there socks in the bed? You know?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, maybe I have to work on that with my therapist,
who knows. All right, my dad when he has to
go to the bathroom, he has code reds, you know,
Code red. He's like, oh, okay, he's gonna he's gonna
be getting We don't go in that bathroom clearing out,
all right. My dad used to drink coffee in the bathroom.
I believe, you know some of these things I couldn't drink. No,
you know, one are those little fecal particles falling your
(18:28):
coffee and you're throwing up all right, Okay, all right,
I love my dad.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I love my dad, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
My dad in the middle of the night would go
to the bathroom, wouldn't turn the lights on. So sometimes
as a kid, if you were like following dad, you know.
All right, so i have to go to the bathroom,
but I'm not gonna turn the lights and not to
wake up anybody. You sit down and there's your dad
on the toilet, aready surprise? That'll buy you another five
years of fucking therapy, right, But I love my dad,
I do, I do. Okay, dads are cool. Dads are cool.
(19:01):
Some dads are not cool. I know a couple dads
that are are deadbeats, and you know, fuck them, fuck them. Okay,
this podcast, no gas, I'll gas, no breaks, swear to.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
God, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Do you know we make sacrifices at Dad's you know,
all right, here's a sacrifice moment. Now this may not
be a big thing, but it is all right. My
family they like to shower on the highest temperature in
the shower, all right, So all that conversation and all
that air and it blows up and it's really hot,
and you're like, all right, but I know they like
(19:40):
to get their day going. Sometimes I'm a little bit
like a sloth on the weekend. Okay, okay, I'm a
sloth on the weekend. So being a sloth on the
weekend you know, sometimes I let them go because they
let them do. But you know what when you walk
in that bathroom, all right, in that bathroom, and that's
one hundred degrees in the bathroom and you're sweating, all right,
you're trying to go to the bathroom, it's like shitting
(20:00):
at Coachella and the porta John. Right, it's hot, it's sticky.
There's been many butt cheeks on this toilet. It's like
fucking shitt in the Coachella. All right, quick update before
we end this podcast. Yeah, so, so a couple of updates,
well not really just one big update. My mental health
(20:21):
Breakdown podcast is happening right.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And you got to understand when I last week when
I said, oh, what's happening this day and that day
and that day? You know what, I'm an introvert and
usually if I'm in a good mood and you're like, hey,
do you want to come to my birthday party, I'm like, fuck, yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, And then by Friday, I'm like, no, I don't
want to do that. It's Saturday. I don't want to
do that. That's well we kind of had to go
in there.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Time caught up with us. I was busy and just.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Kind of didn't pan out the way I wanted to.
And then we were thinking about it. And since this
season is for everyone, right, my mental health breakdown is
for everyone, We're gonna focus a lot on you know,
dad stuff, how you can fight through that if you're
a dad or a husband, those things. So we thought
the perfect timeframe would be June. So the reason being
is in June is obviously Father's Day, and also in
(21:11):
June it is my mental health awareness for a dad.
Those mental health awareness for men, not just dads, all men, right,
so mental health awareness for men happens. I believe this
year it's June thirteenth, so we want to release it
around then because I would love to share, you know,
some of the struggles that I have had in the past,
(21:33):
some that I'm going through right now, some tips, some
tricks and how to get through those. And you know,
I am really really I meant this, and I said this,
you know, twenty two minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I am very grateful, I really am. If you have.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Shown loyalty or any kind of love or anything, I
will always be grateful for you. I am always here
for you, whether it is a moment where you need
to just you know, vent or cry on my shoulder.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I'll probably cry with you.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We'll go to Starby's, as my daughter calls it, because
I love to have myself an iced Americano with you know,
no sugar, of course, because that will kill me.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
But yeah, so thank you. That's the main thing I
want to say. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I know I've had a lot of jokes on this
podcast today and probably we'll edit out half of it
because you know, or probably not because I'm too lazy,
But in all seriousness, thank you, thank you for being you.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I really mean it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I really mean it, and I'm looking forward next week.
There's some great things that already planned for this podcast.
I'm going to talk a little bit about more on Moose.
Moosen is a little bit of a scaredy cat recently
with a spider, and I'll tell you about that, squirrels,
and there's a whole bunch more. Thank you for listening.
I really do mean it. I hope you have a
great week and I will see you back here next week.
(22:55):
Here for more of the daily life of Frank Bye,
Welcome on into the Daily Life of Frank podcast, episode
two hundred and eighty seven. As the fan hurls around
in the background, Welcome on in to another edition of
the Day Life of Frank.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hello, Hello, Hello, welcome. How is everybody doing doing Okay?
I'm tired, I'm exhausted, I'm burnt out. I don't even
know what else to say. There's probably more adjectives.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
To describe how I feel, but I'm right, I'm here,
you know, doing my best like we all can do.
And thank you for listening. The numbers for the podcast
are up again this week, which that means a lot,
it really does. And I am so appreciative of those
(01:18):
who are listening, those who are sharing the podcast, and
the podcast keeps on growing and growing, and very very
appreciative of everything, because you know, it's one of those
things I've always been, the traits that I have. I'm
always loyal, I am very grateful, and you know, I'm
(01:38):
I'm I'm a fighter, meaning I don't want my life
to be dictated, you know, by negative things, so I
fight to get through them, right. You know, it was
in the hospital I thought to get through that. You know,
you go through a rough patch. You got to fight
through get through that, and yeah, so I am very appreciative,
Thank you so much. This podcast make it as real
(02:01):
as one real podcast can be. Ninety nine point nine
percent is real. The other point one percent, you know,
I got to have a life too, right, The other
point one percent is hell.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm an open fucking book. I will tell you anything anytime.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I could go I could, I could literally like
walk out of here and shit myself and trip and
fall down a fly of stairs with Dookie in my pants,
and I probably would tell you because, you know what,
I want this podcast to be relatable and to have
people say, God, that's funny, I'm relating to that, or God,
(02:40):
my life isn't that bad, thank god?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You know. So it's that point one though, we can't, right.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Because you know, you've got to keep some relationships going
on and everything. You know, I can't bitch and moan
about everything, and you can. You can't, you know, sometimes
share things that you want to share, because well, hell,
if that's the case, then you know, now this podcast
was making a lot of money, I would be a
fucking tell all book. I won't even give a shit.
(03:07):
Don't filter, Frank tell my daughter to keep that that
jingle going because I do it. But you got to
keep that point one percent. And I am not going
to complain anymore. Well, there's maybe some complaints, but who knows,
because you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You guys are. You know, you guys don't want to
hear me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You know, just just make this podcast be a Debbie
Downer episode, right. We had that last week, no, two
weeks ago when I cried and no crying on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And you know, I am sick of complainers.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I really am, which which is I know I'm sort
of complaining, I really do, but I'm sick a complainer.
And I know, I know I don't like to get
into the political realm of the world or any of that.
I really do not. I really, I really don't because
you know what, uh, I just I try to stay
away from it. But you know, sometimes it doesn't matter
(04:00):
if you're you know, on the right or on the left, Republican, Democrat, independent.
I never look at those things when I vote anyway.
I always look at the issues and what it's going
to shape for the current atmos atmosphere, and what it's
going to shape for the future of.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
My kids and those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But I'll tell you Michelle Obama, now, Michelle Obama, Michelle,
I loved you.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I loved you. And in President Obama, what a what
a what a?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know, like I would say, the the all American family, right, everything, Right,
we're complaining a lot on this on the on this
tour we're doing. And like I said, I love the Obamas.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I do. I do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Uh. They kind of fucked up my insurance, but that's
another story for a different day.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But I do, I do. And maybe it's my fault.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And maybe I'm not getting the full, the whole full
thing for Michelle uh when she has this new podcast,
But it seems like it's all all complaints.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's all complaints.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Like I heard her the other day complaining that they
had to buy their own food in the White House,
and I'm thinking, what, you had to buy your own
food in the White House?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
There's a lot of things that we can go there, right, right,
But number one, your initiative was to skinny up all
the fat kids in the world, right, including myself, And
that didn't happen. Well I'm not a kid, but it
didn't happen, right, maybe that would have been here. Look,
we're buying vegetables, so you gots to buy vegetables too. Maybe,
you know, a couple more Sesame Street episodes would help, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And you know, it's like, okay, what do you what
do you want? What do you want? You're complaining about?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know, you guys were in charge of the you know,
the United States, the nation, the nation in some of
the world too at that matter.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You know, I don't know, I don't know. I just
can't can't stand complainers.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's like, one minute, you know, we're complaining, you know
that we had to buy our own food in the
White House, and then get out of the White House
and we have a chef, and then we don't have
a chef.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You know, it's like, why what do we want to
do here? All right? I don't know what I'm trying
to say even I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Maybe I'm just trying to say I guess you know, Hillary,
Hillary is getting a little sloppy at her old age. No,
that's not what I'm trying to say, or am I
trying to say it right now? No, I'm not suicidal.
Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
The funny thing is that that joke I just did,
which is a joke obviously not our complaining or you know.
I'll try to listen to more of the podcasts. Maybe
the snippets are throwing me out. But that joke had
to get through, Clarence. I'll tell you right now. I'm
surprised my wife didn't bring in a goddamn legal team
to get that joke. Claire, Yeah, a little bit ooh
the chef coming, I know, I know, but even me,
(06:56):
who's not that bright when it comes to politics or history,
could see that it looks a little skeptical. Right once again,
I'm not suicidal. Oh my fucking god. But you know,
the funny thing is I almost got the clearance to
say the full joke, the full joke. That's that's only
half a joke. Maybe at the Old Mine Own comedy special,
(07:17):
I could do the whole full joke for that one. Oh,
it's it's more. It involves food and everything else. It's
it's a crazy one. It's a crazy one, but not
as bad as the aristocrats joke and do not google
that do not fucking google that, all right, do not?
Gilbert Godfrey I think was in that one and Bob
(07:37):
sagat God bless them. But yeah, I I don't think
they're telling the Lord that up there and Heaven. I
could go, well, maybe yeah, maybe they are, maybe God.
Maybe God has to six up to Hubret.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't know the way my life is going. Some
days I think he does, I really do. And then
again maybe the world's come.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know. Because we had a dust store morning.
If you had a dust storm morning, I thought, where
the fuck? Why where do we transfer into? Are we
in Arizona right now? I know it feels like that.
So when my phone popped up and said dust store warning,
I said, what the literal fuck is going on? Okay, tornadoes,
fire warnings are getting used to, but a fucking dust
(08:13):
storm warning. Jesus Christ, what was going on there? Look
outside look like I don't know, it looks like just
brown brown in the sky. My wife's like, what do
we do for a dust on morning? I'm like, I
don't fucking know. I wasn't born in the eighteen hundreds,
so I don't know what they do all right, I
don't know what they did. Okay, you know, I don't
(08:35):
expect a dust store. There's more property out there than
eighteen twenty. Felt like we're in the fucking Last of
Us for a second. All dusty still in my head
at that Last of Us episode four. Uh, and it's
not you know, let me stop right here. Love is
love if you do. I'm gonna say this, this is
coming from a dad. Right, do what you want to do,
(08:56):
Marry who you want to marry, Love who you fucking
wan of love?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
All right? Do it now? Don't let my ocd Okay,
because a beautiful scene. You know, we.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Finally got to the climax of these two girls who've
been fighting and fighting and loving each other and they're
about to express their love in ways that are are
just you know, they're passionate. But goddamn it, you've been
riding around horseback before fucking days. None of you showered.
(09:30):
There's stuff finger fingernails, for God's sakes. I took a
shower after that, and no, it wasn't a cold one,
was a warm one, because that's what it's out there,
all the dust blowing around. But you know, then again
made the world's coming to it at the end, right
the end of days. They say, if you go down
that pope rabbit hole, that this is the last pope
and once he dies, the world comes do it and
(09:52):
that if we're looking, we're looking for the biblical sense
of it, there's gonna be like an overabundance of mosquitoes.
We may not know it's at the end. We may
think it's summer. Well, there's a lot of fucking mosquitoes
out here.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I think I do that puplic thing again, the conclay,
What does that happen? And they can be the world
coming to an.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Inro we know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't know, but I'll tell you, you know, having a
little bit of rough patch.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Uh So, like you know, but God's give me a sign.
God's given me, give me a sign.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Uh And the sign is, you know, it's gonna be
through Spotify. Because everything that you listen to through Spotify
this week, I really begin to think God is dj X,
That's what he's He's dj X. Because everything I listened
to this week it was, you know, like Christian Aguilera,
you're a fighter, you know, like I will survive right.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What came on though, I didn't get was jay z
uh which it was ninety nine problems and I got
ninety nine problems and what a bitch isn't one of them?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Or whatever?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I'm like, what what does that mean? God tell me
everything else? I understand fighter, you know, you know, don't
give up sacrifice, you know that kind of thing. I
get it all right, don't get that one though. That
what I'm still trying to ponder my head around.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Really don't.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm contractedly obligated to talk about Moose the Cat on
this podcast. He he he has wrote it, wrote it
into the contract.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't know how he got a contract. I don't
know how he did it, but he did it.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, he did it, mister Moose the Cat contract. Moose
Cat's doing good.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He wants to be one of the kid oh so
bad and one of the boys especially so my son
had his friend over and this kid is is amazing.
This kid is just like the ideal ideal kid you
want your kids to hang on around with, right, Because
I'll say it, and I don't care. You know what,
my son a little bit has been an asshole. He
(11:55):
has I know, When I say it that, people are like, oh,
he's so sweet. It's like he is putting it out
of front. I told you last week he might be
the god damn Anti Christ. I don't know. We are
still experiencing it, but as so weeks go on, I'm
beginning to think he is. Can I do an exorcism?
I don't know if he needs it, but can we
just try it. I remember back in the day before
I had kids, and somebody once sets up being like
(12:17):
I don't extend, like, oh, these little assholes talking about
their kids or something.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I was like mortified.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm like, oh my god, I call your kids' assholes,
and I'm thinking, oh the shit, let's be real, because
sometimes they are assholes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Right. Sometimes they're like cars. Right.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You love your car. You spend a lot of money
on your car, and one day that car says I'm
not listening and I'm not working. Walk your fat ass
to work in the cold, bitch. You're like, you don't go, oh,
it's okay, it's okay. Car that hasn't start, and now
I have to get to my job, which I can't
thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You're like, you asshole car. Sometimes sometimes things are assholes.
I guess that's the moral of the story. The only
good thing going right now. I know there's many good things,
but my son, he has a he has also a.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Uh like a argumentive stage. That's what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He unless he's trying to just fuck me in the head,
because he uh, every day he'll make a point and go,
Lebron James is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.
I'm like, what the fuck, get out of my house,
pack your bags, go. This is Chicago. Don't say that shit.
I could get beat up for saying that. You're saying
that shit, pack your shit, get out. And I'm like,
you don't even watch basketball. Just don't fucking do that.
(13:30):
If you watch basketball and you were, you know, and
I have a basketball fan, you watch it every fucking day,
and you're like, you know what, Michael Jordan is not
that good and Lebron's better than I'm like, all right,
let me hear.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Your point, but you don't even watch basketball? All right?
Then he got me the other day good too. It
was a zinger and a.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Half and I was like, oh, I said, my god, Like,
you know, he's a boy, he's hey, he's growing up.
His dad, we both have eyes. A beautiful woman comes
on the TV. I was like, hey, oh she's cute
or she's pretty. It was due a leap. I said,
do a leap is gorgeous? He is gorgeous. He goes, nah,
she's not. What the fuck is wrong with you? Because
(14:07):
now I know you're fucking with me?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I tried to City's Sweety that I go, City Sweety,
she's gorgeous. Not really, you're fucking around, all right. You
gotta fucking around to find out in a minute. I mean,
but he has jokes. He has jokes, and he's had
this long running joke since he was three. I always
asked him at three, I said.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, who's your favorite dad?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like kind of doing that, you know, playing off the kids.
He always says to me when he used to watch
Ryan's World, it's Ryan's Dad. I'm like, huh, Now, I
didn't know this kid was gonna carry on this joke
from three to eight.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But he does.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But he makes it more personal because now when I
ask him who's your favorite dad, he doesn't say He
doesn't say Ryan's World because he doesn't watch Ryan's World.
He says his friend, his best friend's dad, he says
his name. You know what kind of fucking you know? Uh?
Did the kid listen to the last two weeks? I'm
a little depressed. You can't make me, you know, continue
(14:58):
my depression with shit like that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right. My therapist would.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Say, they knock you out of my life, but I
can't because you're in my car right now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Ah. But no, it's funny what he says, that he
gets a good kick out of it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Me. I laughed, But I think it crushes my soul.
Just a tad bet, Yes, it's a tad bet, Just
a tad bet.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Maybe I'm hoping for a bond, like you know Caleb
Williams and his dad. You know they have the bond, right,
they have the bond.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Non issue.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't know how to put this in words. That
is a non fucking issue. Would you really want to
go to the fucking Chicago Bears if you knew quarterbacks?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fucking just die there.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They haven't had a quarterback Goods and Sid Luckman, Sid
fucking Luckman. Okay, And I know there was some games
with Jay Cutler and everything, you know, you know, gets
the Packers. I would have fucking I don't know. I
would have shot thirty things on my knee and I
would have taped it up and got out there.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
But that's just me.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Probably not. I probably would have cried. But yeah he didn't. Yeah,
he didn't want to play for the Bears. Oh it's
a shocker. And his dad said no, like you know,
dad came out and did some interviews for that book,
and who cares. Oh, we try to get out of
the bar. I don't give a shit. I really don't,
all right. I mean, if you want to point, like
look at look at Eli Manning. That fucker got out
(16:18):
of that one. Right. He didn't want to play for
the Chargers. Okay, it was smart in the end. Look
at my Super Bowls he won. But it's like it's
a non issue. It's non issue. It's not it's just
it's just non issue, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Okay. It's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What we're trying to make. We always try to make
an issue out of something. There's always like we got
to make a fucking you know.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Issue.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It's like it's it's sometimes that media on that news
they got to drive something. It's like, I don't get
I don't care if he came out right now, it's like, yeah,
I didn't want to play for this team. I really didn't.
And then they're like, people are like trying to twist it.
He didn't want to play for Chica. Who didn't love Chicago?
What the fuck are you talking about? It's the team, Okay,
you know there are some days that I don't want
to be in fucking Chicago, right, Okay, there's some days. Okay,
(17:07):
I like my criminals to paybal but that's just me.
It's another story for a different day. Now, listen has
to be called political podcasts, and we're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Holy fucking shit. I have no filter, really, I don't,
you know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And they have a great relationship Kayler and his dad,
from what I'm guessing, I have a relationship with my dad.
Of course, there were some hiccups along the way. No,
he's not doing a tell all book, you know, he's
not doing that. But my dad, you know what he
used to do. He used to work a long fucking day,
long hard day, and he would work right it would
be you know, uh, just long hours. He you know,
(17:42):
he worked for the trains one time. Like he is
a hard he has a hard worker on that right,
And he would come home and he would take his
socks off from a hard day. You know how sweet
sweaty your feet is from being on your feet all day,
and he would put his socks right on the goddamn
kitchen table.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm not kidding you, okay, but I still love my dad.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Gross the shit out and I go off of my
family because it's a PTSD when I'm like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Why is there socks in the bed? You know?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay, maybe I have to work on that with my therapist,
who knows. All right, my dad when he has to
go to the bathroom, he has code reds, you know,
Code red. He's like, oh, okay, he's gonna he's gonna
be getting We don't go in that bathroom clearing out,
all right. My dad used to drink coffee in the bathroom.
I believe, you know some of these things I couldn't drink. No,
you know, one are those little fecal particles falling your
(18:28):
coffee and you're throwing up all right, Okay, all right,
I love my dad.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I love my dad, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
My dad in the middle of the night would go
to the bathroom, wouldn't turn the lights on. So sometimes
as a kid, if you were like following dad, you know.
All right, so i have to go to the bathroom,
but I'm not gonna turn the lights and not to
wake up anybody. You sit down and there's your dad
on the toilet, aready surprise? That'll buy you another five
years of fucking therapy, right, But I love my dad,
I do, I do. Okay, dads are cool. Dads are cool.
(19:01):
Some dads are not cool. I know a couple dads
that are are deadbeats, and you know, fuck them, fuck them. Okay,
this podcast, no gas, I'll gas, no breaks, swear to.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
God, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Do you know we make sacrifices at Dad's you know,
all right, here's a sacrifice moment. Now this may not
be a big thing, but it is all right. My
family they like to shower on the highest temperature in
the shower, all right, So all that conversation and all
that air and it blows up and it's really hot,
and you're like, all right, but I know they like
(19:40):
to get their day going. Sometimes I'm a little bit
like a sloth on the weekend. Okay, okay, I'm a
sloth on the weekend. So being a sloth on the
weekend you know, sometimes I let them go because they
let them do. But you know what when you walk
in that bathroom, all right, in that bathroom, and that's
one hundred degrees in the bathroom and you're sweating, all right,
you're trying to go to the bathroom, it's like shitting
(20:00):
at Coachella and the porta John. Right, it's hot, it's sticky.
There's been many butt cheeks on this toilet. It's like
fucking shitt in the Coachella. All right, quick update before
we end this podcast. Yeah, so, so a couple of updates,
well not really just one big update. My mental health
(20:21):
Breakdown podcast is happening right.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And you got to understand when I last week when
I said, oh, what's happening this day and that day
and that day? You know what, I'm an introvert and
usually if I'm in a good mood and you're like, hey,
do you want to come to my birthday party, I'm like, fuck, yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, And then by Friday, I'm like, no, I don't
want to do that. It's Saturday. I don't want to
do that. That's well we kind of had to go
in there.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Time caught up with us. I was busy and just.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Kind of didn't pan out the way I wanted to.
And then we were thinking about it. And since this
season is for everyone, right, my mental health breakdown is
for everyone, We're gonna focus a lot on you know,
dad stuff, how you can fight through that if you're
a dad or a husband, those things. So we thought
the perfect timeframe would be June. So the reason being
is in June is obviously Father's Day, and also in
(21:11):
June it is my mental health awareness for a dad.
Those mental health awareness for men, not just dads, all men, right,
so mental health awareness for men happens. I believe this
year it's June thirteenth, so we want to release it
around then because I would love to share, you know,
some of the struggles that I have had in the past,
(21:33):
some that I'm going through right now, some tips, some
tricks and how to get through those. And you know,
I am really really I meant this, and I said this,
you know, twenty two minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I am very grateful, I really am. If you have.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Shown loyalty or any kind of love or anything, I
will always be grateful for you. I am always here
for you, whether it is a moment where you need
to just you know, vent or cry on my shoulder.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I'll probably cry with you.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We'll go to Starby's, as my daughter calls it, because
I love to have myself an iced Americano with you know,
no sugar, of course, because that will kill me.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
But yeah, so thank you. That's the main thing I
want to say. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I know I've had a lot of jokes on this
podcast today and probably we'll edit out half of it
because you know, or probably not because I'm too lazy,
But in all seriousness, thank you, thank you for being you.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I really mean it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I really mean it, and I'm looking forward next week.
There's some great things that already planned for this podcast.
I'm going to talk a little bit about more on Moose.
Moosen is a little bit of a scaredy cat recently
with a spider, and I'll tell you about that, squirrels,
and there's a whole bunch more. Thank you for listening.
I really do mean it. I hope you have a
great week and I will see you back here next week.
