This week, we welcome a brand-new addition to the family—Nemo, our two-month-old adopted kitten! From the journey to bring him home to his first days settling in with big brother Moose the Cat, I’ll take you behind the scenes of this heartwarming experience.

But that’s not all—I'll also share my take on The Last of Us and why I’m glad I didn’t play the game before watching the show. Plus, the kids just wrapped up their last day of school, and I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that they go a full day. And because we never shy away from life’s more explosive topics, let’s talk about the potential unexpected hazards of breaking wind.

Join me for stories, laughs, and plenty of cat antics in this episode!

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Welcome on and everyone. My name is Frank and this
is the daily life of Frank, my daily life for
all of you as a dad, husband and average guy
and a guy that escaped death. Two eighty nine is
the episode how's everybody Dewey doing good? Doing good, good

(00:41):
vibes out there. It's June right now, we're in the
month of June. Let's go, let's go stop the music.
Big news, breaking news, not really breaking. I've told a
lot of people we adopted a kid in over Memorial
Day weekend. Yes we did, we did. And it's a

(01:05):
orange and white kitten, more of a lighter orange with
an orange tail. So we named him Nemo. And yeah,
we found Nemo. We were so happy and so excited.
We adopted again from South Suburban Humane Society and they've
been great. And yeah, Nemo is doing really, really well.

(01:27):
I thought I started off with that first couple of days,
was very timid, very scared, and he he was hanging
around his big brother, Moose, Moose the cap who Nemo
I think is aged. Moose Moose looks like an eighteen
year old cat now even though he's only a little
over a year old. But yeah, so he plays plays

(01:49):
a lot with his buddy Moose. They snuggled, which is
fucking adorable. They clean each other, they comfort each other,
and he's a little scared still of us. But it's
only been a week, week and a half, so we're
hoping as things go on, because mister Nemo has been
very adventurous as of late. He's been jumping on things
that he couldn't get to last week. So he is

(02:12):
getting more adventurous, more risk taking, and hopefully that will
equal some of some of the you know, not as
timid and not as timid we wed. He mister Moose
to really drive in that we're here to snuggle and
love and hug. Mister Nemo loves TV. He does, oh
my god. So even though he's a little a little

(02:34):
scared still, we have a TV and he watches it.
He's a big wrestling fan, baseball fan. Found that out
Moose was a wrestling fan too. He is a wrestling fan.
Moose myself anymore, very very disappointed that Our Truth was released,
and hopefully by this podcast dropping, maybe they'll you know,
reinstate our truth. But anyways, and our story for a

(02:55):
different podcast that I create. So yeah, yeah, you know,
watching the TV shows, watching the cartoons, BigMan of Blue.
H So, yeah, he's doing good. He's doing good. But
it's great to do to adopt. I was gonna say,
it's great to donate to and to adapt. We really
really love, uh, you know, going to the animal shelter

(03:18):
and finding a kid in that you know, needs that
forever home, needs that home where you know he's gonna
get all that love NonStop and he's gonna able to
live out his beautiful life. And yeah, so we're we're
very happy. We went to South Suburban, uh, the day
before we got Nemo. Nemo was part of their like

(03:40):
their adoption events that they have, and we got Nemo,
which I'll explain that whole story, but before we did,
we went over South Suburban Humane Society and just went
inside and there were Oh my god, if I could
fucking adopt all the animals, I would, you know, like
I said a little bit of Moses joke, but I
would adopt them all, adopt them all because some of them,

(04:05):
oh my fucking god, especially one kept coming up and
because it was out of its out of its cage
and walking around and kept like, you know, like I'm
trying to do it like here im muted the mic
there by accident, you know, rubbing up, like, oh my god,
I'll take you home. But a lot of the cats though,

(04:27):
are bonded, right, so like either maybe they found a
playmate along the way, maybe they have a brother or
they have a sister, right, and they can't leave them.
So we really only could take one kid at home, one,
just one. We only had room for one more. And
Moose too. We don't want to over well Moose, you know,

(04:49):
so we had to say no to a fair, fair pair,
a couple of pairs, especially the pair at the pets
mart during the adoption event. These two were talking, petting
and rubbing again. They just wanted a home. So I
hope to god they've found a home during those adoption
events or you know, they're in the shelter and somebody
comes in today and it's like and I'll take those guys,

(05:11):
oh god, because it broke my heart. Like I said,
I would love to adopt everybody, everybody, everybody. I just
I just can't. We don't have the money, or the
resource is not located. We just we don't have the room.
We really don't have the room, and we really don't have.
You know, we don't wanna, we don't want to bring
you know, we multiples home. And then Moos is like,

(05:33):
what the fuck is going on? Am I getting pushed out?
So yeah, but oh they just needed a home, those two.
And then even at the shelter, there was the one
who really needed the home and ah, my god, and
there was one that was hissing at me. But I
was like, you know what, I love a trouble maker.
I love a good trouble maker, good hisser, trouble maker.

(05:53):
And here's here's the thing, all right, Uh, you know,
black cats are not always bad luck. Because the three
cats that wanted to come home with us, we're all
black cats. And I could just feel the good luck vibes,
the good good luck vibes. I almost combined luck and
vibes there, the good vibe vibes. I don't even know,

(06:15):
but yeah, you know, all together all together. I would
I would. I would have walked out it. We would
have walked out with one hundred cats. It would have
just been like, all right, come on and we'll find space.
But we really can't. And we really didn't really want
to overwhelm Moose. You know, maybe later on in life
when we're in a different position, maybe in our house
and those kind of things, maybe we'll you know, expand
expand our horizons. So we got to work a little
bit on Nemo. Nemo sometimes shits in the litter box,

(06:37):
and sometimes he shits in my bedroom. Yes, he shits
in the office, the bedroom, the studio, whatever you want
to call it. And uh, when you catch it, it's
usually like at a weird time, you're like, what does
this smell like shit in here? And you gotta get up.
You gotta check yourself, like I have an accident? Did
I I'm not aware of Okay, the caves happened again?

(06:58):
Uh yeah, so we got it. Then, you know, we
have to clean it up. And but he's doing a
lot better. He's making it where the litter box is,
but he's shooting on the side of it. So I yeah,
I don't even know. I guess it's close. I'll tell you.

(07:18):
And then Moose, poor Moose, I don't know Moose to him,
but Moose has the fucking gas has them late. Holy shit?
Why are animal farts the nastiest fucking farts ever? Why
are animal farts so fucking nasty? Nasty? Farts, Like I
was like, what the hell was that? That's one? You
smell that too, and you're like, my god, I have
an accident again. Like you're checking around yourself because you're
not sure where the where the stink is coming from.

(07:40):
And then there's gas in the room and there's shit.
It's like a fucking zoo in here. I'll tell you.
But speaking of farts, you heard about that lady who
came out and said that her boyfriend's fart on her face.
She is like she has like permanent allergies or whatever.
So lit'sten the story. It says here a woman spent

(08:03):
seven years. If I could click out of all the
damn fucking pop ups here, God almighty, how many fucking
pop ups are there? The story is not that important,
all right, Jesus. Just try to do my job here.
I try to spice it up with the story, a
little segment, a little story of the podcast. Can't even

(08:25):
do it, God damn bad, we can't do it. Whatever
the boy was of the story. Uh. The lady says
the boyfriend gave her a Colai because he had one
of those joke farts, you know, fart in her face,
and she got e coli in her air sinuses or something,
and I was he's like permanent allergies. I don't know
the fucking full thing. I would love to read it,

(08:45):
but pop ups here po. I can't even get through
the pop ups. But that's shame on me. And then
my son had my iPad earlier and he did the
rotation thing where he locked it. And I am an
old man when it comes to that shit because I
didn't know how to unlock it, so fuck it. But
you get the point. Far can be dangerous, they can
be deadly. How the fuck did you fart a coli? God?

(09:07):
Damn you had fecal come out? I don't know, Like,
I'm all for a good good This podcast has really
hit the shitter, hasn't it. I'm all good for a
good fart joke. But if you really have to go
to the you know you're you're on the verge of
either or I don't think you'd be playing jokes like that.

(09:28):
See these things happen. This lady didn't wake up one
day and say, you know what, I'm gonna get a
fecal on my sinus traps there. You know she didn't
wake up to that. It's not what you having your
bingo card. I remember one time I farted in my
brother's face. We were younger. I farted so bad in
his face, and I must have been holding that one
in for days. He could not breathe. He was rolling

(09:48):
on the ground. I thought I killed him. I thought
I fucking killed him. I was I imagine, like my
mom watched a lot of court TV back in the day,
so I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna be a
fucking court TV. This this fat kid farted in his
brother's face, and his brother fell down and died of
it because it was so bad and he couldn't breathe.
I was worried. I was worried there. I thought I

(10:08):
was going to jail. I almost try to, like, you know,
hide the body. And he's like, Frank, I'm not not dead.
I'm not dead with my fart's there. God, am mighty,
that's the last time I read a story on the air.
We could even do it. But yeah, I know, it's
just farts are funny. You know, farts are funny. Some

(10:30):
people will go far to immature. No, they're fucking funny.
They're funny. They make noises, they're funny. To telling jokes.
You know, they're funny to I guess, you know, sometimes
fart on people, if you know, if you don't take
away their breath, or or shooting kole A, you're like
fucking spiderwebs coming out of Spider Man there out of
his fucking wrist or hands or whatever. Yeah, speaking of stinky,

(10:56):
it's the only transition I could have for this way.
I watched Last of Us the finale, and I know,
I know some people were not happy with the finale,
and that's okay, that's your opinion. I like the finale.
I like a good teaser. I like a good teaser.
But hopefully they'll have new episodes coming up, you know,
like within a year, like you know sometimes like Stranger Things.
And I know they had the pandemic, but they teased us,
and it's like fucking twelve years later, like huh, where

(11:20):
will we leave off? So uh yeah, Last of Us.
I liked it season finale. It was good. I'm I'm
kind of on the we'll say the abnormal here with
with a with some people. Some people wish they had
played the video game before. I am happy that I

(11:42):
didn't play the video game before. And I know I know,
and it's weird, uh because because of the fact that
I got a lot of shit when I saw the
one main star and I won't try to spoil if
people die, I was like, and then I like posted
tech talk and like those are for people that don't
play the game. It's like, okay, first off, fucking relax,

(12:05):
all right. First off, A like I said, I am
happy to play the video game because every week's a
fucking surprise. Every week is a surprise for me. Now,
if I choose to play the game later, I'll know
what's gonna happen in the game. And number two, sometimes
they don't fucking tell the exact story that's in the game,
all right. Sometimes they go off, did anybody really expect
even though he did die, that they were gonna show

(12:27):
that in episode two? That could have been episode seven,
all right, but they left it was a nice cliffhanger.
So yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad I was able to, uh,
you know, watch it without having that. And I think
a lot of times, you know, that kind of gets lost,
right because like, uh, if you're watching the if you're

(12:49):
playing the video game, and then you're going like, oh,
I know, what's gonna happen. He's gonna die here, like
you already know, right. Like for me, I was like
every week was something new. I didn't expect it. But
people on tip everyone has a goddamn opinion. You know,
that's what happens when you taped the podcast on a

(13:10):
Sunday and none of my bets are winning, I get cranky,
cranky Frankie, you know, I know. Opinions. Pigions are like assholes.
Everybody has one, right, Oh my god, I tell you,
I tell you. Speaking of last the kids had their
last day of school on oh was it last Thursday?
Last day of school. I'm still in shock and always
be in shocked that the kids have a full day

(13:33):
of the last day of school. And that's not what
we used to do back in the day. We didn't
have a full day of school. We had a half day.
It was like for not even a half there. It
was like two hours and we sat in the gymnasium
with all chairs stacked up and we sat on the
floor and that was it. And I don't think we
did anything. I think we talked to our friends and
that was it, and they let us out. This is
like a production now there's like field days, and we

(13:53):
had we have those sort of things. We had like
a picnic or something like that at the end of
the year. But there's field days, there's turning your eyepads,
clean the classroom, all this stuff. It's just craziness. And
then it leads up to the last day. And I
don't think we had a lot of that when I
was growing up. Maybe I'm not picturing it, but I
just remember, you know, something similar that they're doing. Right,

(14:14):
they'll watch a movie or something, you know, Like I
think one teacher just throwing YouTube. It's like I'll play
YouTube on here you go. I was like, fuck it,
but it's it's you know, just it's crazy. I always say,
I'm like, all right, half a day, guys, and they're like, no,
it's not dead. I'm like, ah, no, it's not no,
it's not no, it's not guys. It is not half day,

(14:35):
full day, full fucking day. Yeah, but it's good to
have the kids home. I think we started a little
off rocky. I think Friday there was fights and tance rooms.
I'm like, a fuck, we're two hours in is August here? Yet?
Can we get to August for Christ's sakes, please, can
August come around the corner fast fast? Oh man? But no, yeah,

(14:59):
you know, it's to have home. I really do like
having them home, you know. And I know this is
gonna sound crazy, but even when they're at school, I
get nervous. There are all these you know, school shootings
and all those things and bullies and all that. There's
like and I have a lot of anxiety, so there's
probably some anxiety level that's in there mixed in. But

(15:21):
when they're home, I feel safe. They're home. I've always
said this, My wife is awesome. I love her. She's great.
She does an awesome job with the kiddos, even though,
like every set of kids or every kids out there,
they don't respect their parents. Sometimes a lot of times
they do, sometimes they don't. And she does, you know things,
she like she'll plan like going here or like let

(15:42):
me tell youus min. I don't even think I could
course this in my fucking brain because I don't know
if I'm just too much ADDHD or I'm not talented.
And I do other great dad things. But my wife
was awesome. One morning she woke up today. Kids, we
live by a seven eleven. It's like, why don't we
walk to seven eleven and moved by a beautiful park too.
Why don't we go to seven eleven. We'll get donuts
and we'll go sit into the park in that breakfast
Like that is an awesome thing, like you know, like, ah,

(16:05):
that's cool. So hopefully they will have a great summer
without killing each other and giving mom and dad a
fucking headache or a reason or a reason to eat
three or four pies in one city. Just kidding, just kidding.

(16:27):
So I can get to the hospital and just stay there,
you know, it's like a vacation. No, I'm just kidding,
just kidding. But speaking of that, I'm very excited if
you haven't heard July twelfth. July twelve is a Saturday night.
What are you doing? You're going to catch the oh
my Own Comedy special, my first ever comedy special. I'm
very excited. It's a really cool synopsis. Speaking of the

(16:50):
carbon field, listen to this. You know, from a carb
field near death experience, to embracing life as a double
cat dad, to the awesomeness and craziness of being a
kid in the nineties, spiraling deep into the most mind
bending rabbit hole theories I'm very excited. This will leave
you with relatableness, It will leave you with laughs. You

(17:11):
might even have a few gaps, but by the end
of the night, you'll be saying the same thing I
say on a daily basis, oh my own. So I'm
very excited for that on x on YouTube, on TikTok.
I'll be releasing that coming July the twelfth. It's very exciting.
It's very exciting. There's a lot of planning going on
with it. My wife and I we had a anniversary.

(17:34):

the Love and we celebrate eighteen years. And at this line,
you know our anniversary lunch that we have because before
the kids get out of school and all that. So
we had a great lunch. We were talking about it.
We were planning some things. My wife said, I said,

(17:56):
can I do this joke? And she goes no? And
can I say I do this one? And she goes,
that's really know And then I can do this one
and she goes no. But we're gonna have some jokes.
I promise no. It's all fun. It's all fun, and
I just want people you know, whether it's a thirty
minute thing or a twenty minute thing or I don't know,

(18:18):
we'll see where it goes. Give people that you know,
twenty or whatever whatever long it is to get them
out of a you know, a reality and into you know,
some relatableness and some comedy and good laughs and all
those fun things. So I'm very excited. It's coming up
July twelfth, which is very very soon, and next week.
Next week we are ready to go again. For the podcast.

next week. You know. Also, I'm gonna talk about this
Pope celebration at Rate Field and where the White Sox play.

lot of fun things planned this summer, including the radio
show to my mental health Breakdown podcast, and after Our
Truth be released, I might have you to do a

on all the socials. I love for you to interact
a lot of those socials. Actually all of the socials
