This week, I recap Father’s Day and my son’s birthday bash, featuring a poolside moment that delivered love and heartbreak unravel in record time. I may have even glimpsed the human forms of Moose and Nemo (spoiler: they were both beefy and Italian). Speaking of Nemo, he's finally settling in—aside from the strategically placed "gifts" he’s leaving around the house.
I also recount my non-activity-related injury at Dave & Buster’s, the reinjury at the grocery store and how one poorly prepped coffee nearly sent me to the great beyond—or at least urgent care.
All that, plus the usual dose of unsolicited life lessons and questionable decisions wrapped in dad-grade storytelling.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It is Father's Day last weekend. If you're listening to
it on the podcast dropping on Wednesday, or if you're
me live in person podcast Father's Day do I'm recording
on Father's Day? Right, Isn't Father's Day the day that
(00:47):
you're supposed to do something you love as a dad.
Some dads they go golfing, some dads they go fishing.
And I will be doing those things in the summer,
maybe a little bit in the fall. But I like
recording this podcast to really do, and I figured I'm
gonna do it on Father's Day. So to all the
dads out there, let's give ourselves a big round of applause.
(01:07):
We're dad. It's simply the best, better than all the rest.
I'm only kiddie mom's moms, you're awesome, fun, uncle's, friends, family,
you got everybody in the world. I'm spreading all the
(01:28):
love out to the world. No, I'm not drunk or HI.
If you're asking, like, well, we's very excited today, Well
it's Father's Day. That's why I'm very excited. But Father's
Day has been great, great morning. Got some new gifts
in my son. He got me some new headphones, which
I needed because the headphones that I currently have. For
some weird reason, they don't charge very good. So I'm like, fuck,
(01:53):
I like my music, I really do, so I have that.
And then my daughter bought me a lunch lunch bag.
I'm gonna say lunchbox. I was like, Wow, they'll date
me from the nineties. There, I got my Beetle juice lunchbox.
I'm walking around with, I know, a lunchback. I need
a new lunch bag. I've been carrying this other thing
to work, which is really technically a cooler, so you know,
(02:15):
I'm you know, I'm just yeah, it's too big. It's
like I'm either going camping or like if somebody randomly
saw me on the street, they'd be like, yeah, that
that would be his lunchbox. Big fan ass what the
kids called big pack. No, that's just paranoia. But no, no, Yeah,
(02:35):
it's great. It's like insulated. I know, this is like
dad stuff, right, like dads we find like the feature school.
Oh it's insulated. Oh there's a top part in the
bottom part. That's awesome. I love it. And then the
biggest gift from everybody I received was a mini cooler,
mini fridge, and I know somebody were like, where's that
many fridge going? Oh, I have first interaction and reaction.
(02:57):
Let's put it upstairs in the bedroom. But so beer,
but a light next in there? Is there a carbs
not a sponsor? I wish sure, hit me up. I
love those. But no, it's going where it needs to go,
and that is in the emporium. I know I've talked
about this on the podcast many times before about the
emporium and how the emporium, you know, has we have
(03:21):
a new LED sign I don't know if I shared
that yet that talks about what's happening and it gives
them fun like jokes on there and guess the movie.
And it's like it's almost like a scoreboard. So when
you're walking down to the emporium you have that. The
walls have movie posters with lights. Now we're really making
this an entertainment sensation down there. That's my marketing brain
(03:43):
working and entertainment sensation and very excited for it. Very excited. Uh,
and it is. It's rare to go. And I've been
talking to my wife probably over like a year or
two years. I said, we have the emporium. We're building this,
you know, we got some of the cool like sign
jerseys on the all. We got the big screen you know,
I know we're thinking about maybe and some TV more
TVs down there. Really making the entertainment capital is that
(04:07):
that's already a marketing slogan somewhere, right, So we have
that all down there. So the mini fridge is going
to go down there with we have a a popcorn maker.
So we needed that part of the venue to like
really you know, be the glue. So we'll have drinks
down there, We'll have the popcorn machine, we have a
snow cone machine. There's other candies and snacks. Will put
down there, a lot of Sarah figures for me and
(04:29):
we'll have it down there. And yeah, so very grateful.
I love being a dad, I really do. It is
definitely one of the greatest gifts that I've ever received.
You know. No, I'm not talking about the mini fridge partly,
I am. No, being a dad is definitely definitely something
(04:53):
that I don't take for granted. Those kiddos every day,
and not just the kiddos, but the ca that's the fish.
They put smiles on my face and you know, without
them and without the love and support and you know
the person that you know is I'm gonna call her
(05:13):
my queen because she is the one that you know
keeps everything together. My wife, I be lost. I be lost,
and I love those kiddos, and I love my wife,
I love those pets. So I'm very very lucky person,
a very very grateful dad. And I want to say, though,
(05:35):
this is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month in June, and
I've been doing this podcast. I have another podcast called
My Mental Health Breakdown. I know I've mentioned it here
on this podcast before, and please take a list and
I'm really trying to focus in on this season to
talk about how I go through mental struggles as a dad,
(05:55):
as a husband, as a person, as somebody who's working.
So definitely take a listen to that. If you just
go to spreaker and type my Mental Health Breakdown in,
it'll pop up. Even if you google it. I'm sure
it's gonna pop up one of your favorite podcast providers
for going to the day Life of Frank dot com.
But what I want to say is, uh, men's suicide
rates are extremely high. I think I heard one time
(06:18):
it's something like one and four, and that is it
breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. I've had a
lot of rough, rough mental keep the podcast name going
mental episodes, and I I just I just fought and
(06:42):
I and I fought and I had, you know, the
support and just love and and just to just to
keep keep keep going. And it breaks my heart that
there are some dads, some husbands, some some regular guys,
uh you know, who don't feel that, or if they
(07:03):
or if they're upset with themselves, or I just want
to say this, whoever needs to hear this. I'm going
to send you a hug, a virtual hug, and I'm
going to say you are loved. You may not think it,
you are wanted here, you may not think it. And
if you need anybody to talk to or somebody to
(07:24):
you know, share stories of hope, you can always talk
to me. If you DM me. I don't mind sharing
out a cell phone or those things, or meeting up
for a coffee. We can get an Americano. I love
my Americanos. But you are you are truly loved, You
(07:44):
are truly wanted here, and there's a lot of men
out there that just don't feel that. And then the
numbers of suicide rates and then are very very high.
I've had some dark days. I've had some dark days,
(08:07):
so I know what you're going through and I'm sending
all the positive vibes and all the love. And if
you need anything, please please email, hit me up on social.
I'll send the virtual hug. I'll give you the real hug.
Whatever you need. We'll go golfing, even though I really
don't know how to golf. We'll do whatever you need
(08:30):
to know that you are an incredible person and you
belong here. I want to shift gears because we got
to make this fun. We gotta make this vibe. Just
have a good time. It's Father's day. Hello, let's do
this because we are coming off of the pool party
(08:52):
that my son had no not it wasn't an official
pool party, but on his birthday, I said, I am
going to take a half a day. I'm gonna take
a half day and we are gonna go to the
pool with the kiddo's and my wife and we're gonna
have some good fun time on my son's birthday. My
son got a new haircut. He looks incredible in it.
(09:13):
He looks really cool. Uh, we got him some he's
really into hair products and and he's really into like
soap and those types of things. So I'm very excited
that we were able to get those things for him.
I know, he's he's he's nine, so he has more
expensive like, uh, you know, soaps than I do. He does.
(09:33):
I'm fucking just I'm bodying myself up with swave for
Christ's sakes, up and down dollar swave on this body.
And no, he's he's he's in soaps that you know, Jesus.
But hey, the kid feels good. You gotta have that confidence. Yeah,
So we went to the pool first, you know, first thing,
(09:54):
let's have a complaint, right, rowdy kids there are. There
was this grip of rowdy kids that I just did
not like because they're parents were there. They're not really
watching them. They're being annoying like by it, and probably
you know, not all of it, probably some of the
same shit we did as kids. Right, they're like pretending
to drown like and that stuff's stupid because like number one,
(10:16):
like whatever, lifeguard thinks you're drowning and they jump in
and there's actually somebody drowning, right, And then they're going
up to the lifeguard and saying, hey, we think you're
pretty and like that stupid shit like that. Okay, but
besides that whatever, people want to do their own shit
and do their own stupid things. But I am a dad, right,
I'm a dad at first, So when you start like
bringing other people into your stupid equation, like hey boy, bo,
(10:37):
you're hot, I'm gonna get fucking pissed because I'm a dad.
My boy's like, what here you staring at? Are you
staring them down? I'm like, no, just get him the
dad eyes, honey, get him the dad eyes. Yeah. But
it was just like, Holy Mother of God, control your kids, man,
not all the time. Sometimes they're gonna be real crazy.
It's fine, but stupid comments, stupid things. No, Nope, that's
(11:00):
not that is not right at all. So but yeah,
but uh, hey, you know the funny thing was we
had a fucking blast we did. It's usually not my
cup of tea usually, uh, because it was very crowded.
It was like a day where it was ninety out. Uh.
But hey, I was with my my crew, my Moth's
(11:22):
crew as I call him, and it was a blast
and my son had a great time. And those are
the moments too that I love doing it to day. Like, Okay,
I'm going to you know, I'm gonna take a half
day haf of work and I'm you know, I'm not
gonna take it off to go golfing or something like that.
I'm gonna take it off for my kiddo. You know,
I'm gonna take it off so because I know how
much it means for him in the you know, being
(11:43):
there on that day, especially his birthday. Oh, love and heartbreak,
though I have witnessed. I have witnessed love and a
heartbreak and a record a matter of time. At the pool.
There was a lifeguard and then there was a boy
and the boy they's not the same fucking idiots. This
(12:03):
is like true, true romance. I felt blooming there and
the boy would go down the slide and not boy
like they're in high school. Okay, you go up to
the lifeguard and he'd be like, hey, you know, talk
to her, and she would smile and they would have conversation.
And then I saw heartbreak my dad, because then he
(12:24):
swam away and he looked back and he was talking
to another girl and this girl was like, you know,
like jumping on his back and he was swimming and
I'm like, oh, he has a girlfriend. But he was
really playing that that card. Poor girl. Uh. And then
he started talking to another girl and another girl, and
(12:45):
I gotta say, the pool player is gonna play. That's
that's what's gonna happen. The pool player is gonna gonna play.
He's there to there to get some numbers, which is
not right, and then he's gonna, you know, he's gonna
he's gonna move on. So yep, love and heart break,
love and heartbreak, all in the matter of minutes. There
we went to the what we're just going to call
(13:07):
it a trampoline park for my son's actual birthday party.
His actual birthday was the pool stuff. And then we
went into the actual party, which was at a trampoline area.
There was no ac on, so you could only imagine
a good thing is well, bad thing is I sweat.
I sweat the whole time. I sweated the whole time.
(13:28):
I was like sweat coming down every part, dripping sweat,
like not just the sweat where you like you're like, oh,
pat my head, and I'm going like a sweat was
coming down. I'm like, oh my god. We got to
reapply like the orderant on the fox's going on. And
then the second thing was I'm part of that is.
The good thing is I didn't chafe, which is good.
That's good. Let's give me a round plause that no chafing.
(13:50):
There's no chafing. So I felt good, no chafing. I
went home, there was no chafing. Survived that a great time.
He has a great group of friends. Their moms uh
and dads are awesome. So and then you know, his
cousins were there, and of course sant who is incredible,
(14:10):
and it was just a good time. My mom and
dad came, loved them to death, and it was just
a good time and had a great time. No AC,
Like I said, no a C. Another dad came up
to me and he's like, no fucking a C in
this place, which is the typical dad thing to do.
And I thought at that moment, like we were gonna
get together and like other dads are gonna come and
that there's gonna be this big group, like we gotta
(14:31):
fucking fix the AC. We're gonna go find out with
the problems they it's broken. We're gonna go there and
we're gonna fucking fix it. Everybody. Come on. No, that
didn't happen, but I'm sure because it did feel cooler
later on. So I'm guessing like that dad who complained
to me and I felt the same way. Uh, probably
he met him went up in the roof for all
I know and fix some ac and I have no idea,
(14:52):
but no. Yeah, and it was cool because like and
there was a section like you know, other birthday parties
were there, and there was a lot of dads sitting
u in in the like of this area, like the
like there was like a restaurant area and they were
all sitting there, all the dads on their phones, probably
you know, doing dad stuff, whether watching the US Open,
doing a little gambling, checking out the baseball stuff. So yeah,
(15:16):
that's where I convened myself. Eventually, I'm gonna go by
the dad area, which I thought were gonna have a
bigger meeting in the ac. We didn't, We did not.
I re injured myself though, so we needed forks for
the birthday cake at the party. So I decided to
walk down to the grocery store go down there. And
I turned left as I was in the store and
(15:38):
I pulled repulled, like I think it was my calf,
my calf muscle. I repulled my calf muscle. I did.
I repulled my calf muscle, was in pain. I had
to walk all the way back to the trampoline park.
Almost had a call somebody to pick me up literally
thirty seconds away because I was in pain. And I
(16:00):
realize I reactivated an injury because the week before we
all went out to Dave in Busters. We went out
to Dave and Busters. We had a good time at
Dave and Busters, and I injured myself in a non
activity like I wasn't playing laser tag, I wasn't fucking
doing that dancing game. I wasn't doing any of that shit.
I just turned left and I injured my calf muscle
(16:22):
and then I was fine. And then I was at
the grocery store and I reinjured it, both in non
activity related incidents. I realized at that moment, I am
really old and I'm getting older. I am getting older
by the day. I'm getting really old and older, and
that's just life. That is just life, going to be
(16:43):
pulling more muscles. Like thank god it wasn't like my
private parts or something, because sometimes when that happens, like I,
the immediate reaction. You know, guys, I know some guys
will slap each other's balls and we'll all have a
good laugh and we'll move on. But sometimes when you
pull those kind of things, sometimes like I get so
so like I pulled my calf mousse. I'm like, oh,
but like if I accidentally like hit my testicles or
(17:06):
something like, and I don't know what it is, it's
just I don't know, it's it's just a reaction that
I have, I'd be like, oh, my balls, my balls,
my fucking balls. So everything every guy does that. So
like you imagine if I like, uh uh, you know,
twisted my ankle twisted, well, my ankle, I'd be like,
oh oh, I like if it was my balls, be like, ah,
(17:27):
my balls made me screaming that in the in the
in the grocery store, my ball. They would have kicked
me out, that would have been arrested. But I'm glad
to be here because I always died. Last week why
he almost died again? No, so uh, you know, And
this is kind of a service enough, from a little
PSA to restaurants and those types of things. Your customers, Uh,
(17:52):
there are reasons why sometimes they order things the way
they do. There are sometimes they order uh specifically, and
for me, I love my America Cono coffees and when
I order it at the Starbucks, I order it just cream,
no sugar. Now two people's you know, maybe backup. I
(18:13):
am not going to sue anybody. Starbucks. I'm not suing you.
But the coffee that was made had sugar in it.
And I thought, because I had my wife picked me
up a coffee I was doing something I came home,
I thought the coffee would just water down. But I'm like,
this tastes a little bit different than I normally taste.
And I kept drinking and I drank the whole thing
and it was the tallest they had, right, And came
(18:34):
to realize and it's ride. My wife kind of invested
in me, like what is this this? She's like, there's
sugar in that. I drank it all. So, yes, uh,
it wasn't horrible, right, I'm on insulin. It wasn't as high.
What it did was it screwed my fucking night up
(18:54):
because I was looking forward to like they have little
carbs at night just to end the night, and I
wanted some chips and dip, know, uh well taco chips
and some queso and I couldn't have those. Nope, no caso.
You know it wasn't near my deathbed. I know. If
I tell this story to people outside, but almost died
twice this year, you can believe it. But yeah, a
(19:15):
little bit of a little bit of that, and yeah,
my sugar spiked them, Like why is my sugar over
this amount? What the fuck is going on? What did
I eat? And then realized the coffee? But I survived
in got the sugars back in order, no hospital visit,
no nothing. Yeah, our buddy Nemo is getting really comfortable.
(19:35):
I don't know. I didn't know this was a cat thing,
but I guess, like you know, cats to pick up
your order. From what I witnessed, it could Maybe it's
not a cat thing. Maybe it's my two cats who
have foot fetishes. I don't know that. What is a
likelihood of that. I can't fucking win a three legged parlay,
but I'm gonna get two cats who love feet? What?
(19:58):
Oh my god? Yeah, So he'll will smell your feet now,
and I'm like, is that really? Like I said last week,
is that really the odor you want to fucking pick
up for me? Like my my feet? I mean, smell
it after I get out of the shower, you know,
n e vera had a long day. I don't want
to be associated with that. And he's you know, he's
he's playing a little bit. The one thing that he's
(20:20):
doing though, he keeps leaving ships around the house and
little little ships, but big ships, meaning like he's following
his big brother. So he's eating all the big brother food.
He's eating these big, big meals. So for a little guy,
I'm surprised that comes out of them. They're tiny, but
they they have that. They pack a punch. They pack
a literal punch. Like all the fuck who shipped their
(20:42):
pants down there thought it was one of my kids. No,
it's the cat. So thank you, sweetheart, my wife who
has cleaned up all the little ships. And uh, we
have not sent him back and we would never well
but you know, just stop shitting please Nemo around the house.
You have a little box, you know, and he uses
the litter box. It's not like he's not like train trained,
(21:03):
like you know, okay, he's not trained, and he's no
I used the litter box. It's almost a formal laziness.
I think you know what I think it is. I
think it's a typical kid, right. You take a kid out,
all right, and they're younger and they're playing, playing and
playing and playing, playing, playing, playing playing and playing playing play.
They got a shit, They're like, no, I don't got
to shake out. Play play play play play play. And
then all of a SUDDENY come like I don't feel good,
and he's like, did you shit your pants? And they're like,
I ship myself, mom and dad, I shipped myself raw here.
(21:25):
Well they didn't say raw after it, but you get
the picture. So maybe that's what it is. He's he's playing,
playing and playing, not realizing and then he goes poopoo. Uh,
you know, it comes out quicker than he expected. I
don't know, I don't know. Hey, t d LF the

but a light next in there? Is there a carbs
not a sponsor? I wish sure, hit me up. I
love those. But no, it's going where it needs to go,
and that is in the emporium. I know I've talked
about this on the podcast many times before about the
emporium and how the emporium, you know, has we have
(03:21):
a new LED sign I don't know if I shared
that yet that talks about what's happening and it gives
them fun like jokes on there and guess the movie.
And it's like it's almost like a scoreboard. So when
you're walking down to the emporium you have that. The
walls have movie posters with lights. Now we're really making
this an entertainment sensation down there. That's my marketing brain
(03:43):
working and entertainment sensation and very excited for it. Very excited. Uh,
and it is. It's rare to go. And I've been
talking to my wife probably over like a year or
two years. I said, we have the emporium. We're building this,
you know, we got some of the cool like sign
jerseys on the all. We got the big screen you know,
I know we're thinking about maybe and some TV more
TVs down there. Really making the entertainment capital is that
(04:07):
that's already a marketing slogan somewhere, right, So we have
that all down there. So the mini fridge is going
to go down there with we have a a popcorn maker.
So we needed that part of the venue to like
really you know, be the glue. So we'll have drinks
down there, We'll have the popcorn machine, we have a
snow cone machine. There's other candies and snacks. Will put
down there, a lot of Sarah figures for me and
(04:29):
we'll have it down there. And yeah, so very grateful.
I love being a dad, I really do. It is
definitely one of the greatest gifts that I've ever received.
You know. No, I'm not talking about the mini fridge partly,
I am. No, being a dad is definitely definitely something
(04:53):
that I don't take for granted. Those kiddos every day,
and not just the kiddos, but the ca that's the fish.
They put smiles on my face and you know, without
them and without the love and support and you know
the person that you know is I'm gonna call her
(05:13):
my queen because she is the one that you know
keeps everything together. My wife, I be lost. I be lost,
and I love those kiddos, and I love my wife,
I love those pets. So I'm very very lucky person,
a very very grateful dad. And I want to say, though,
(05:35):
this is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month in June, and
I've been doing this podcast. I have another podcast called
My Mental Health Breakdown. I know I've mentioned it here
on this podcast before, and please take a list and
I'm really trying to focus in on this season to
talk about how I go through mental struggles as a dad,
(05:55):
as a husband, as a person, as somebody who's working.
So definitely take a listen to that. If you just
go to spreaker and type my Mental Health Breakdown in,
it'll pop up. Even if you google it. I'm sure
it's gonna pop up one of your favorite podcast providers
for going to the day Life of Frank dot com.
But what I want to say is, uh, men's suicide
rates are extremely high. I think I heard one time
(06:18):
it's something like one and four, and that is it
breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. I've had a
lot of rough, rough mental keep the podcast name going
mental episodes, and I I just I just fought and
(06:42):
I and I fought and I had, you know, the
support and just love and and just to just to
keep keep keep going. And it breaks my heart that
there are some dads, some husbands, some some regular guys,
uh you know, who don't feel that, or if they
(07:03):
or if they're upset with themselves, or I just want
to say this, whoever needs to hear this. I'm going
to send you a hug, a virtual hug, and I'm
going to say you are loved. You may not think it,
you are wanted here, you may not think it. And
if you need anybody to talk to or somebody to
(07:24):
you know, share stories of hope, you can always talk
to me. If you DM me. I don't mind sharing
out a cell phone or those things, or meeting up
for a coffee. We can get an Americano. I love
my Americanos. But you are you are truly loved, You
(07:44):
are truly wanted here, and there's a lot of men
out there that just don't feel that. And then the
numbers of suicide rates and then are very very high.
I've had some dark days. I've had some dark days,
(08:07):
so I know what you're going through and I'm sending
all the positive vibes and all the love. And if
you need anything, please please email, hit me up on social.
I'll send the virtual hug. I'll give you the real hug.
Whatever you need. We'll go golfing, even though I really
don't know how to golf. We'll do whatever you need
(08:30):
to know that you are an incredible person and you
belong here. I want to shift gears because we got
to make this fun. We gotta make this vibe. Just
have a good time. It's Father's day. Hello, let's do
this because we are coming off of the pool party
(08:52):
that my son had no not it wasn't an official
pool party, but on his birthday, I said, I am
going to take a half a day. I'm gonna take
a half day and we are gonna go to the
pool with the kiddo's and my wife and we're gonna
have some good fun time on my son's birthday. My
son got a new haircut. He looks incredible in it.
(09:13):
He looks really cool. Uh, we got him some he's
really into hair products and and he's really into like
soap and those types of things. So I'm very excited
that we were able to get those things for him.
I know, he's he's he's nine, so he has more
expensive like, uh, you know, soaps than I do. He does.
(09:33):
I'm fucking just I'm bodying myself up with swave for
Christ's sakes, up and down dollar swave on this body.
And no, he's he's he's in soaps that you know, Jesus.
But hey, the kid feels good. You gotta have that confidence. Yeah,
So we went to the pool first, you know, first thing,
(09:54):
let's have a complaint, right, rowdy kids there are. There
was this grip of rowdy kids that I just did
not like because they're parents were there. They're not really
watching them. They're being annoying like by it, and probably
you know, not all of it, probably some of the
same shit we did as kids. Right, they're like pretending
to drown like and that stuff's stupid because like number one,
(10:16):
like whatever, lifeguard thinks you're drowning and they jump in
and there's actually somebody drowning, right, And then they're going
up to the lifeguard and saying, hey, we think you're
pretty and like that stupid shit like that. Okay, but
besides that whatever, people want to do their own shit
and do their own stupid things. But I am a dad, right,
I'm a dad at first, So when you start like
bringing other people into your stupid equation, like hey boy, bo,
(10:37):
you're hot, I'm gonna get fucking pissed because I'm a dad.
My boy's like, what here you staring at? Are you
staring them down? I'm like, no, just get him the
dad eyes, honey, get him the dad eyes. Yeah. But
it was just like, Holy Mother of God, control your kids, man,
not all the time. Sometimes they're gonna be real crazy.
It's fine, but stupid comments, stupid things. No, Nope, that's
(11:00):
not that is not right at all. So but yeah,
but uh, hey, you know the funny thing was we
had a fucking blast we did. It's usually not my
cup of tea usually, uh, because it was very crowded.
It was like a day where it was ninety out. Uh.
But hey, I was with my my crew, my Moth's
(11:22):
crew as I call him, and it was a blast
and my son had a great time. And those are
the moments too that I love doing it to day. Like, Okay,
I'm going to you know, I'm gonna take a half
day haf of work and I'm you know, I'm not
gonna take it off to go golfing or something like that.
I'm gonna take it off for my kiddo. You know,
I'm gonna take it off so because I know how
much it means for him in the you know, being
(11:43):
there on that day, especially his birthday. Oh, love and heartbreak,
though I have witnessed. I have witnessed love and a
heartbreak and a record a matter of time. At the pool.
There was a lifeguard and then there was a boy
and the boy they's not the same fucking idiots. This
(12:03):
is like true, true romance. I felt blooming there and
the boy would go down the slide and not boy
like they're in high school. Okay, you go up to
the lifeguard and he'd be like, hey, you know, talk
to her, and she would smile and they would have conversation.
And then I saw heartbreak my dad, because then he
(12:24):
swam away and he looked back and he was talking
to another girl and this girl was like, you know,
like jumping on his back and he was swimming and
I'm like, oh, he has a girlfriend. But he was
really playing that that card. Poor girl. Uh. And then
he started talking to another girl and another girl, and
(12:45):
I gotta say, the pool player is gonna play. That's
that's what's gonna happen. The pool player is gonna gonna play.
He's there to there to get some numbers, which is
not right, and then he's gonna, you know, he's gonna
he's gonna move on. So yep, love and heart break,
love and heartbreak, all in the matter of minutes. There
we went to the what we're just going to call
(13:07):
it a trampoline park for my son's actual birthday party.
His actual birthday was the pool stuff. And then we
went into the actual party, which was at a trampoline area.
There was no ac on, so you could only imagine
a good thing is well, bad thing is I sweat.
I sweat the whole time. I sweated the whole time.
(13:28):
I was like sweat coming down every part, dripping sweat,
like not just the sweat where you like you're like, oh,
pat my head, and I'm going like a sweat was
coming down. I'm like, oh my god. We got to
reapply like the orderant on the fox's going on. And
then the second thing was I'm part of that is.
The good thing is I didn't chafe, which is good.
That's good. Let's give me a round plause that no chafing.
(13:50):
There's no chafing. So I felt good, no chafing. I
went home, there was no chafing. Survived that a great time.
He has a great group of friends. Their moms uh
and dads are awesome. So and then you know, his
cousins were there, and of course sant who is incredible,
(14:10):
and it was just a good time. My mom and
dad came, loved them to death, and it was just
a good time and had a great time. No AC,
Like I said, no a C. Another dad came up
to me and he's like, no fucking a C in
this place, which is the typical dad thing to do.
And I thought at that moment, like we were gonna
get together and like other dads are gonna come and
that there's gonna be this big group, like we gotta
(14:31):
fucking fix the AC. We're gonna go find out with
the problems they it's broken. We're gonna go there and
we're gonna fucking fix it. Everybody. Come on. No, that
didn't happen, but I'm sure because it did feel cooler
later on. So I'm guessing like that dad who complained
to me and I felt the same way. Uh, probably
he met him went up in the roof for all
I know and fix some ac and I have no idea,
(14:52):
but no. Yeah, and it was cool because like and
there was a section like you know, other birthday parties
were there, and there was a lot of dads sitting
u in in the like of this area, like the
like there was like a restaurant area and they were
all sitting there, all the dads on their phones, probably
you know, doing dad stuff, whether watching the US Open,
doing a little gambling, checking out the baseball stuff. So yeah,
(15:16):
that's where I convened myself. Eventually, I'm gonna go by
the dad area, which I thought were gonna have a
bigger meeting in the ac. We didn't, We did not.
I re injured myself though, so we needed forks for
the birthday cake at the party. So I decided to
walk down to the grocery store go down there. And
I turned left as I was in the store and
(15:38):
I pulled repulled, like I think it was my calf,
my calf muscle. I repulled my calf muscle. I did.
I repulled my calf muscle, was in pain. I had
to walk all the way back to the trampoline park.
Almost had a call somebody to pick me up literally
thirty seconds away because I was in pain. And I
(16:00):
realize I reactivated an injury because the week before we
all went out to Dave in Busters. We went out
to Dave and Busters. We had a good time at
Dave and Busters, and I injured myself in a non
activity like I wasn't playing laser tag, I wasn't fucking
doing that dancing game. I wasn't doing any of that shit.
I just turned left and I injured my calf muscle
(16:22):
and then I was fine. And then I was at
the grocery store and I reinjured it, both in non
activity related incidents. I realized at that moment, I am
really old and I'm getting older. I am getting older
by the day. I'm getting really old and older, and
that's just life. That is just life, going to be
(16:43):
pulling more muscles. Like thank god it wasn't like my
private parts or something, because sometimes when that happens, like I,
the immediate reaction. You know, guys, I know some guys
will slap each other's balls and we'll all have a
good laugh and we'll move on. But sometimes when you
pull those kind of things, sometimes like I get so
so like I pulled my calf mousse. I'm like, oh,
but like if I accidentally like hit my testicles or
(17:06):
something like, and I don't know what it is, it's
just I don't know, it's it's just a reaction that
I have, I'd be like, oh, my balls, my balls,
my fucking balls. So everything every guy does that. So
like you imagine if I like, uh uh, you know,
twisted my ankle twisted, well, my ankle, I'd be like,
oh oh, I like if it was my balls, be like, ah,
(17:27):
my balls made me screaming that in the in the
in the grocery store, my ball. They would have kicked
me out, that would have been arrested. But I'm glad
to be here because I always died. Last week why
he almost died again? No, so uh, you know, And
this is kind of a service enough, from a little
PSA to restaurants and those types of things. Your customers, Uh,
(17:52):
there are reasons why sometimes they order things the way
they do. There are sometimes they order uh specifically, and
for me, I love my America Cono coffees and when
I order it at the Starbucks, I order it just cream,
no sugar. Now two people's you know, maybe backup. I
(18:13):
am not going to sue anybody. Starbucks. I'm not suing you.
But the coffee that was made had sugar in it.
And I thought, because I had my wife picked me
up a coffee I was doing something I came home,
I thought the coffee would just water down. But I'm like,
this tastes a little bit different than I normally taste.
And I kept drinking and I drank the whole thing
and it was the tallest they had, right, And came
(18:34):
to realize and it's ride. My wife kind of invested
in me, like what is this this? She's like, there's
sugar in that. I drank it all. So, yes, uh,
it wasn't horrible, right, I'm on insulin. It wasn't as high.
What it did was it screwed my fucking night up
(18:54):
because I was looking forward to like they have little
carbs at night just to end the night, and I
wanted some chips and dip, know, uh well taco chips
and some queso and I couldn't have those. Nope, no caso.
You know it wasn't near my deathbed. I know. If
I tell this story to people outside, but almost died
twice this year, you can believe it. But yeah, a
(19:15):
little bit of a little bit of that, and yeah,
my sugar spiked them, Like why is my sugar over
this amount? What the fuck is going on? What did
I eat? And then realized the coffee? But I survived
in got the sugars back in order, no hospital visit,
no nothing. Yeah, our buddy Nemo is getting really comfortable.
(19:35):
I don't know. I didn't know this was a cat thing,
but I guess, like you know, cats to pick up
your order. From what I witnessed, it could Maybe it's
not a cat thing. Maybe it's my two cats who
have foot fetishes. I don't know that. What is a
likelihood of that. I can't fucking win a three legged parlay,
but I'm gonna get two cats who love feet? What?
(19:58):
Oh my god? Yeah, So he'll will smell your feet now,
and I'm like, is that really? Like I said last week,
is that really the odor you want to fucking pick
up for me? Like my my feet? I mean, smell
it after I get out of the shower, you know,
n e vera had a long day. I don't want
to be associated with that. And he's you know, he's
he's playing a little bit. The one thing that he's
(20:20):
doing though, he keeps leaving ships around the house and
little little ships, but big ships, meaning like he's following
his big brother. So he's eating all the big brother food.
He's eating these big, big meals. So for a little guy,
I'm surprised that comes out of them. They're tiny, but
they they have that. They pack a punch. They pack
a literal punch. Like all the fuck who shipped their
(20:42):
pants down there thought it was one of my kids. No,
it's the cat. So thank you, sweetheart, my wife who
has cleaned up all the little ships. And uh, we
have not sent him back and we would never well
but you know, just stop shitting please Nemo around the house.
You have a little box, you know, and he uses
the litter box. It's not like he's not like train trained,
(21:03):
like you know, okay, he's not trained, and he's no
I used the litter box. It's almost a formal laziness.
I think you know what I think it is. I
think it's a typical kid, right. You take a kid out,
all right, and they're younger and they're playing, playing and
playing and playing, playing, playing, playing playing and playing playing play.
They got a shit, They're like, no, I don't got
to shake out. Play play play play play play. And
then all of a SUDDENY come like I don't feel good,
and he's like, did you shit your pants? And they're like,
I ship myself, mom and dad, I shipped myself raw here.
(21:25):
Well they didn't say raw after it, but you get
the picture. So maybe that's what it is. He's he's playing,
playing and playing, not realizing and then he goes poopoo. Uh,
you know, it comes out quicker than he expected. I
don't know, I don't know. Hey, t d LF the
