Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, well, well, it is the Daily Life of Frank
episode to ninety. Hello, Hello, hello, and welcome. I am excited.
It is my son's birthday week. He's turning the big nine.
And there's been some things that have happened during this
(00:37):
week that I don't think he's the Antichrist anymore. I
don't and I'll share that coming up. Talking about big
dog and tiny dog. What does that mean? Plus that
fucking Illinois gambling fee. I've been trying positive vibes I have.
I'll share that all here. Oh in this week's the
Daily Life of Frank. Oh boy, hit it, stop it
(01:00):
stop the music. Let's go into it. My son turning
the big nine this week, his birthday Wednesday, doing a
little bit of a lunch, heading to the pool. He's excited.
And then Saturday he's going to a trampoline park. He
did it last year. All his friends are going to
be there Saturday afternoon. At the trampoline park. I can't
(01:23):
jump on the trampoline. There's a weight limit, and I
don't want to break it. You know. I feel like
if I try to, like, I'll do this. There's like
a video of a larger man who does like you know,
a trampoline park, and he's doing all these things, and
somebody like you know, puts over the music bed of
like Mario, like dir and I feel like mine would
be like the immediate, like I don't know. That was
(01:44):
not a good Mario inding and that was that was
pretty fucking poor. And I apologize. I don't have my
A game today, I really don't. And I apologize, but
I'm excited. I'm excited my boy uh nine. You know, Dad, Dad,
we love our kids. We love all our kids, you know,
but there is that special bond between obviously a dad
and daughter, but there's even more of a special bond
between a son and a dad. And he's been really
(02:08):
good to me. So he came up to my room.
I was working, and he goes, hey, dad, mom bought
these new pretzels, these dots pretzels and it tastes like
cinnamon and sugar, exactly like a churl. And this was
the day before. I'm like, oh, okay, you're great, great,
that's that's awesome, buddy. He goes a really good you
gotta try. So the next day I wake up, I'm
(02:29):
heading into the office this day, and he wrote a
note on a piece of and I have a photo
of this on like a duct tape, and he wrote Dad,
and he hung it up by the door, and he
had a bag of dots the churro pretzels. And this
was the next day, so it wasn't something like you
know sometimes kids they come up and they say something
(02:50):
to you and then the next hour they forget about it.
He was determined that Dad needs the tryes. Dad needs
to try these, and I'm gonna make sure he gets
them before he goes to work. And it was such
a touching moment. I'm gonna cry right here. I'm gonna
cry here on this podcast. This is like the second
time in like three weeks, and I'm gonna cry a
(03:11):
lot of tears in this podcast. And it's okay, But
it was so sweet. And the other sweet thing that
he did was I was outside talking to him. They
were all back from the pool. I think we have
a one of those inflatab pools. I think they were
out of the inflatable pool. They were having dinner and
my wife and my kids and I came out as hey,
what's up, guys, And my son's like, so when do
you get off? And I'm like excuse me. I'm off
(03:32):
right now, work is done. I was working from home
that day. We're working on remote and like, I'm done,
done days off. He's like, no, no, no for the summer.
And I said, what's that? He goes, No, when do
you get off for the summer. It was so cute.
It was so cute. I didn't have the heart to
tell him. No. Once you start work, you have two
things look forward to, and that's either death or retirement.
You don't get the summers off unless you're a teacher.
(03:54):
But a lot of times our teachers are underpaid and
they have to get a second job during the summer.
But I was just going to get it to that.
It was a cute, cute sentiment. Uh. And man, it
really really it really really like Uh, I don't know.
I felt so like the two things. I was like,
you know what, no more jokes about him being the
(04:14):
anti Christ. No more jokes on this podcast about him
being the anti Christ. It was so sweet. Then again,
he was a little anti christy he was is that
a word? I don't know. Uh. My son likes to
play video games with me. I love playing video games
with him. What he does is he plays the video
games he's really good at. And he says, I'm going
to quote unquote cook you, and he fucking does. We
(04:34):
played Fortnite. There was a special version of Fortnite that
I didn't even know will existed. He goes, let's play this.
I did. He killed me three hundred and thirty two times.
I counted. I counted on my hands and now in
the time you had go one, two, three, four, five,
and then you get to like eighty seven, you got
to redo it because you lost your track of counting.
It was horrible. So he cooks me. So I'm like, okay, okay,
I'm gonna get you back. So I'm gonna find a game,
(04:55):
probably Madden or one of those sports games, and I'm
gonna beat the shit out of him in there game.
I'm gonna forget about the dots pretzels. I'm gonna forget
about they ask it if I have the summer off,
and I'll go to murder him in that game. I'm
gonna score a five hundred touchdowns. But the thing is, though,
the thing is, he's pretty good at those games too,
(05:16):
So I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm I
don't I don't I don't. I don't know what I'm
going to do if he continues to cook me. And
he's turning nine. So this is not like some cute
four or five year old thing where like you let
him win. No, he's cocky. He's cocky. But his name,
(05:37):
his namesake, Pope Leo. Pope Leo's celebration happened at rate Field,
coming up sold out White Sox Stadium. You know, Jerry,
Jerry Reinsworf, was thinking of ways that they could keep
those concession but the concessions will be open, and how
they can charge for parking and all those kind of things.
You know, you know, Jerry's thinking that. He's early game planning.
I know, he's talking about, you know, giving up ownership
(05:58):
and all that kind of stuff. You know, he's he's
game planning it. He's talking about he's thinking about it.
How can we make some money off of this? We
you know, they already have, like don't they have like
a White Sox shirt or something with the pope stuff?
And I don't know, I don't know, it gets to
a point where this is great. This is great. First off,
it's awesome. We have a Pope Leo. You know, he's
he's uh, he's from Chicago. It's awesome. I'm very excited
(06:23):
by it. But then again, he used to crossing that line,
you know, T shirts and concessions, which I don't know
they're going to be open. Funny, you know, you become
a little uh sagriligious. They're just so tat not much,
but a little bit tad. We should be celebrating, we
should be having a great time, and it's a great
thing that the Archdiocese of Chicago is putting together. And
there's gonna be over forty to fifty thousand, probably the
(06:45):
first White Sox sell out in about five years. So
it's gonna be awesome, awesome. But yeah, you know, I know,
there was a couple of posts like they're like there
was fireworks in this guy and they're like, well, look good,
we're up in the heavens with our home runs or whatever.
I'm like, oh my god, that's a little It's a
good thing to have some jokes, you know me. I
love jokes. I love jokes. You know, the oh my own,
(07:05):
oh my own special coming up July twelve, you know,
bringing that bell. Make sure you take a listen, have
your alerts on but yeah, so we got a another cat.
I think I shared this last week. I did because
the podcast was called We Found Nemo, And Nemo is
still still a little scared. He's a little a little scared,
a little skittish. He's getting better. He's beginning to smell
(07:27):
smell you. He smells. I don't know if this is
a cat thing, and I'm not even sure, but he
smells like your feet. He smells your shoes, your feet
and all that stuff. So I don't know if that's
his thing. But I really don't want to be recognized
as what my feet smell like. I really don't. Hopefully
(07:48):
that's not what he's using to recognize me. I'm not
saying I smell, but that's that's a really bad body part,
right to you know, say, I'm gonna I'm gonna say
that I know this person because your feet stink like
that's not good. Maybe it's smelling, you know, I don't know.
I don't lotion, well, not my feet, I don't. Okay,
this is getting personal. I'm gonna stop right here this.
(08:09):
I'm just gonna stop this right here. This is this
either is too personal or this should be a VIP
episode of the podcast. I'm sure in a lot of
information here, but I and I beginning to I just
look down because I'm like, I always feel like fur
against me. I'm like tiny dog and then it usually
ends up being a spider. And you're like, why are
you calling them tiny dog and big dog? And let
(08:29):
me tell you something. I call them tiny dog and
big dog because I think it's funny. Somebody said something
one time that it's funny when you have a nickname
that's not really you, like if I called you know,
I don't think they said this me exactly so because
I don't want to be like, oh, what an asshole
this person is. But if somebody called me skinny or tiny,
I'd be like, that's funny because I'm fat. I get it,
And that's that kind of makes me laugh when I
call them big dog and little dog. And the reason
(08:51):
why I call him that they seem like they're dogs.
Moose has always been like a dog. He's very loyal,
like a Dinald. Cats are low, but he's very you know,
he's just like a dog. I can't he's very you know,
like sometimes cats like you know, Nemo, who hopefully will
come out of his shell. When people come over, he
hides me. No, Moose is out there. Moose wants to
(09:12):
be part of the fun and the boys, and he
wants to be all that. It's like my dog. And
the way those dogs are cats, you know, Moose and
Nemo they walk around together, they're like they're like dogs,
like a pack of dogs. They're my crew, my dogs.
But then I question myself, what if I get a
fucking dog and they're gonna have to go back it's cats,
(09:36):
or maybe they all get along together and that'll be
the ultimate dog crew dog da WG dogs. Then I'm
thinking to myself, I had to have picked that up somewhere.
And besides, you know the comedy thing I heard, I'm like,
I think that's also in Secret Life of Pets. I
think the guy calls him big dog and tiny dog
(09:57):
or something. So I'm like, yeah, it's probably just an
autistic tick picked up onside. But heard something and I'm
just repeating it all the time now big dog, of dog,
big dog, ton of dog, ton of dog, big dog.
I don't know. I'm gonna stick with it because it's
funny and the family, the family, my family. They pick
it up and they pick up on a lot of
(10:19):
my my, my, well, I guess my ticks because you know,
my wife saying where's a tiny dog? At where's a
big dog? You know they're cats. Hopefully I'm not confusing
tiny dog. He's like, am I really a dog? He's
asking moose moos like big guy. I don't know. I
(10:40):
don't know speaking of big dogs, big dogs. So uh yeah,
Illinois gambling fee looks like it's gonna go in effect,
which is like a quarter for every time he play
a bed. I don't know if it's official, but I
thought I read it was official. I don't know why
I would have wrote this down if it wasn't official.
But that's a bunch of bullshit, all right. I don't
know what's happening lately, but our government in every place
(11:04):
is beginning to take away some of the fun things.
And I don't think they realize that we need the
fun things in our lives to get through all the
tough times. Right we do, we do, And I know
it's not taking things away, but you're going to pose
a quarter every time I place a bet, and then
up to a million bets and then it's fifty cents
(11:25):
or more. What the fuck right. All right, maybe we
should be more focused on you know, how we got
out of taxes for toilets that were removed, or our
criminals don't have to pay you no bail, like, maybe
we should focus on those things instead of focusing on
charging somebody a quarter because they just like to bet
(11:45):
on the cub's money line. It's craziness. And I know
Texas is doing some things, Texas taking away some of
the edibles and stuff. We gotta fucking live, We gotta
have enjoy life. And I know maybe it's the governor's
got to realize it's not in nineteen sixty nine, nineteen seventy.
All right, well it's nineteen seventy. Then we'd be doing
a lot of marijuana, it'll me. But anyway, what I'm
(12:06):
trying to say is this is not the old in time. Okay, Yes,
we love our family, we love spending time with our family,
but we need our things too. We like to need
our gambling, we need our edibles, we need those things.
Twenty five fucking cents. It's not much, but Jesus, I
thought the fucking state was We're okay with everything, and
(12:29):
that's not even the worst thing they're raising taxes on
on you know, getting gas and shit, so that's not
even the worst thing of everything, but fucking oh my
own swear to god, I expected better from mister JB. Pritzker.
I've had this long standing joke on this podcast about
how he could possibly be my dad, my real dad,
(12:50):
because we're kind of shaped. Our faces don't look the same,
but our lower bodies do our guts. If you look
at him and me side by side, we have the
same stomach stature. It's really weird, but it's really true.
And for the time being, especially during the pandemic, jab
loved his fucking sweater vest, and my mom during the
pandemic loved her sweater vest too, so I'm wondering she
(13:14):
still loves her sweater vests. I think I'm not sure.
I haven't seen her in it. I haven't seen him
in it. Oh my god, let's start the rumors. But
no more long standing joke until you take my gambling
fees away bad enough. You know, I turned a blind eye.
We all turned to blind eye about those toilets and
being removed. Okay, you know, if anybody has to remove
(13:36):
a toilet's me. I know why because that bathroom is
like a fucking horror movie in there anymore. But not
because of the stink and the stench, all right, and
sharing the toilet with three other ass cheeks. No, it's
not because of that. Because we have a light that's
going rogue in the bathroom and I can't figure out
what light it is. And I'm not talking about a
bathroom that has seventeen thousand lights in there. I don't
(13:58):
live in a mansion by any means. I rent out
a hound home, okay, and barely fits the four of
us plus two cats and a fish, all right, it
barely fits it. But every time I go in there
to go to the bathroom, the fucking light flickers. It's
like a like a horror movie. You ever shit in
in a horrorhouse? Horror horror? I always get those two
(14:22):
things screwed up. So some of you are hearing it's
like whether it's the red dress or green dress thing,
or the blue dress and the green dress thing. Somebody
you're hearing horror like a movie. Somebody you're in a
horror It's like, why are you shitting in the horrorhouse?
Does your wife know that you're at a horrorhouse? All right.
I know they're taking your your stuff away with the gambling,
and if you ever move in Texas, you're edibles. But Jesus,
now you have to go on horse here. Is that
(14:43):
even legal? You gotta pay attack for that. But yeah,
the lights flicker the other day, it was like a
like a scary movie. I thought I was gonna be murdered.
I thought I was gonna die. At least I'm on
the toilet because if anything scares me, it's just it's
not gonna be that messy. And I look and I'm like,
there's spider on the wall and lights are flickering. God,
it's like shitting in a scary movie there. But I'm
(15:05):
trying to get the good vibes going. I'm trying to
get the vibes going, the positive vibes. All right, I'm
trying to get them going. I noticed. I noticed. I
noticed when you get the positive vibes flowing, a lot
of times those positive vibes keep on going, they keep
on going. Maybe I'm sick, maybe I'm twisted. I don't know.
(15:26):
But I try to eat healthy as much as I can.
There are days where it's not going to be as beautiful.
But after getting out of the hospital, I learned that
you know, it's okay to have a burger with out
a butt or it's just you know, it's no bun,
but I'll have the some fry. It's like really finding
ways to go through, you know, in the carbohydrates to
(15:51):
go through, like really watching everything. But the one thing
that I do is I still don't want anybody else
to have to, uh, you know, change up they're ways
because of me. And what I mean by that is
I like still surprising my kids and my wife with
a nice sweet treat, even though I will not partake
in it, or if I have anything, it's a small bite.
(16:12):
But I love doing those things, you know. For instance,
I really enjoy you know, getting them things that you
know they get to try. And like Wendy's has these
new frosties out right, and I can't have them. If
I have one of them, I'll be back in the hospital. Okay.
I don't mean to be over exaggerating the situation here,
but I don't want to be back in the hospital. Okay,
I don't want to be back in the hospital. I
(16:33):
want to live. But I bought three of them. There's
the three new flavors. There the caramel crunch, there's this
Oreo brownie one, and then there is one that I
can't even remember. And that's not because I don't want
to remember. It's because I'm probably saying to myself, I
don't want to think about it because I can't have it.
But I bought them and I was feeling good, some
good vibes, good vibes flowing. I open the freezer and
(16:56):
that's when my vibes decided to die. But I still
remained positive because there was really no place for those
three frosties. But I found one place, two places, and
the third one decided to be an asshole frosty. That
motherfucker took off. It took off like a rogue skier.
I don't know what the fuck it did, but it
(17:18):
was like it hit a slid down ice onto like
one of those cooling things that you have for your lunches,
and it took off and it went flying in the air.
I would have gave it a ten if it was
a real thing, a real Olympic sport. And it hit
the floor and it fucking went everywhere. It was like
an explosion of ice cream. Ice cream was all lover
(17:39):
all over the place, but there was a little bit left,
and I put that motherfucker back in that freezer and
I kept the vibes going. I cleaned up the shit,
and then I realized Wendy's, for the second time in
a row, forgot my fucking soda. I know it's not
a big deal. It's a soda, but it's a sugar
free grape sprite. You don't find those anywhere. Those are
(18:02):
only magically done through the coke freestyle. And Wendy's has it,
and this is the second time this has happened, And
I'm it's way is what it is. But I'm like,
is Wendy's have me on a prank show? Is like
somebody gonna pop out of a room like we got you,
a bitch, and then have my like sprite in their hand,
and like it's gonna be like Wendy like a like
redhead and curls and coming like gotcha, bitch, here's your
(18:23):
sprite and here's a new Frosty, Like is that really
what's happening? Oh my god, Like I'm gonna find am
I getting roasted by Wendy's Like in real life? Here
is that? What's happening. I'm gonna roasted in real life
