Everybody is divided, Everybody is bickering. Everybody doesn't like each other.
(02:29):
But I'm give their dat device gives them davies. Let's
all love each other. Let's all respect each other. Sometimes
sometimes we have different views, we have different thoughts from everyone,
(02:55):
but we have to love and respect one another. We
may not all agree, we may not all agree, we
may not all agree, but we have to get along.
(03:17):
Get along here in the United States, get along in
the world, get along with your own family, get along.
We have to. All I've seen and it's all thanks
to Twitter, which I love. I do love using Twitter
or acts or whatever you want to call it. Is.
(03:39):
One side hates this person, one side hates that person,
one side hates this, one side hates that. One side
is not canceling, one side is canceling. One thing is.
It's just a mess. It's a mess. It's a mess.
And as a dad, it gets me kind of sad
because I do and I try to spread respect spread love,
(04:09):
spread be happy for that person if they're happy, and
if they're not, be there for that hug. But when
you see this bullshit that's all over on both sides
of the aisle, I don't know. I don't know. We
gotta get our shit together. We gotta get our shit together, right,
(04:33):
And I'm using the mean dad voice. I guess we
have to get our shit together. I don't know what
that was. I wish my voice was always like that.
I would sound cool and confident. Right now, I have
this lisp, so I'm not that cool or confident. Can
imagine that all day We'll go to get our shirt.
What was that? Holy fuck? What was that? A transformer?
(04:53):
Holy shit? What was that? Anyway, let's just just be
respectful everybody, please, buddy everybody. I'm not saying going out
today and hug random people on the streets, all right,
but there are days where we're not going to get
along with somebody's thoughts or opinions. You know, all right,
I'm going for that extra chip in the dip on
a Sunday, right, or that extra bear. My wife's like,
(05:15):
are you sure you want that extra bear? I'm like,
fucking yeah, I do. She doesn't even say that. But
you know, if we did, like baby, they would know
what's caused a fight. But we're like, no, what it's
your opinion in my opinion, and that's it. We have
to love, love, love, spread the love. Oh boy, oh boy, Okay,
(05:38):
down with the dad advice. We're down with the dad advice.
And but yeah, let's just come on, come on, everybody.
My son he is joining choir. He is, he's joining choir.
I didn't expect that coming. I didn't have that on
my bingo card for twenty twenty five. My son, he
(05:58):
really likes you know, he likes his technology, right, So
he likes his video games, he likes his VR, he
likes his Roadblocks or Robucks or whatever the hell it is.
He likes all that. He likes his YouTube. And if
there was a technology club, sure, I'm like, all right,
he's going to join it. That's cool. No, he's joining choir.
And I'm like, huh huh, joining choir. That's I'm proud
(06:19):
of him. I'm excited for him. I'm gonna root him on,
like all dad shit, But why why choir? Why choir? Uh?
And I asked him, I said, hey, are your you
know your friends in choir because sometimes, you know, kids
are influenced. You know, most of the times kids are
influenced the bad way, but a lot of times kids
are influencing the good way. Hey, my buddy's joining choir.
I'm gonna join too, he said no. I said, okay, well,
(06:42):
very cool. He goes all the girls are in choir.
I said, okay, wait a second, gain hold on. Oh boy,
oh boy, you know it went last year. I don't
like the girls. The girls have cooties, no, blah blah blah.
And then he sees his friend who has a crush
(07:04):
on a girl. And then all of a sudden he's
joining choir with not one, not two, but all the girls.
Oh boy, I said, you know, the kid is very handsome,
blue eyes, blond hair. All right, I'm like, ah, we
why do I feel like we're gonna have Like he's
(07:27):
gonna you know, he's gonna date a lot, and he
just it's just I don't know, and uh, it's like, okay,
I didn't have to worry about it last year. He's like, well,
you know, no, no, you know, no girls. And then
now it's it's girls. So yeah, gotta watch out for him.
I don't want him break in any girl's hearts. No
(07:47):
breaking hearts, no breaking hearts, I'll tell you, because his
heart's always broken. And the reason is is he doesn't
like advertisements. And I was like, huh, how do you
not like advertisements? What are you talking about? Well, and
you know, I said that, and I was like, what
a dumb dummity that I am, Like, nobody likes advertisings.
But the way he said, he's like I can't fast
forward through him. I'm like, buddy, welcome to my fucking world.
When I was your age, all right, when advertisements came on,
(08:10):
you had two things to do. You just sat there
and shut up and you watched them. Or two you
want to go to the bathroom, You took a piss,
you did whatever you needed to do to go because
you only had two minutes to do it. All right, Okay,
too many you gotta run and run back because that
show was not being paused, no pausing. Back in the nineties,
we're not pausing TV or not. We're watching, we're not pausing.
(08:35):
But yeah, it's like, I hate ads. I hate ads.
I'm like, you know, the kids, the kids these days,
they have some I don't even want to call them
real world problems. You know, it's everybody. It's it's it's
like seems like every kid and especially my kids too,
and I live with them, and you know, it's like
I don't like that. I'm like, well, okay, I don't
want to go to school. I'm like, what you have to?
(08:58):
You have to Okay, Okay, yeah, I have to go
to school. Yeah to it like watch the ad sometimes.
All right, well, the best you have it easier as
an adult. I'm like, I don't fucking have it any
easier than you. I still I still go to work.
I have to wake up every day, all right, I'm
going longer to work with you, all right, go to
(09:20):
school for six hours. I'm here eight hours, maybe a
nine hour day if needed. You have random holidays off,
I mean I do too. You know. I work for
a great company, so we have we have holidays. But
I'm just trying to make my point. I was at
that point. I was stretched. I was like to pull
the thing of it out. I don't even get highlights off.
I don't have to work Christmas. It's like, it's not
even true, that's not even true. That's far from the truth.
(09:44):
I don't even gification. It's like, no, I can get
a great amountification and great benefits. They have to think
of a new argument with him because he picks up it.
He does it. He's like, we're working from home today.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, but I'm still working. It's you
drive to a mom. I'm like, uh, probably he's gotta
(10:05):
break girl's heart to be a fucking lawyer, isn't he is?
He is? He is? He is? I read out. I
couldn't even argue anymore. I couldn't do anything. I was like, oh,
you won, congratulations, you have won. Oh my god, I
tell you, I tell you. Ah. Or it's always a
best when they're like, hey, I know what I want
(10:25):
to work, It's like, all right, we kid what you
wish for? All you get, you get good benefits, vacation
pay is good, you get take coffee breaks. You're like, fuck,
my argument is not going to work? Is it? My
cats my cats? Now, if you're new to the program,
(10:47):
I call my dogs my dogs, my dogs, not dogs?
What do I call my dogs if they're my cats?
Because cats does not have a nice like it doesn't
sound like you know my cats, my cats, my cats,
my cats, my cats, No, my dogs, my dolls, my dogs.
(11:09):
See how cool that signed with death boys? Don't ready
ready now? Wat says my cats? It signed off? I
heard it? Uh, I know? I call my dogs is
they're my rider die? Right right? They're my rider die.
But ever since, ever since we put them in the
tick talk World TikTok world, I've felt they have have
(11:32):
a little bit of attitude trying to become tick talk stars.
Here's what we do. We like to have the NFL
games picked on my TikTok channel plug intended here at
the daily life of Frank and the dogs, Moose and Nemo.
They pick, they pick right, They pick the games, and
Moose is getting quite a following. People are following him
(11:53):
and loving him, and I just feel the attitude now
mm hmm. And then you know, Moose is not too bad.
I think he's two and two or something in the
games he's picked, and Nemo's one in the zero one game.
I don't think we counted because he parkourd at the cup,
because he jumps around a lot. Because orange cats, which
I've learned, only have one brain cell. I don't know
(12:13):
if that's true, but if it's if it's If it's
not true, then I'm sorry for saying that. But if
it is true, then I have proof. Oh my god.
Tiny dog Nemo, also a cat. If we're playing at home,
loves to mean mug me, and I don't understand why
the fuck he mean mugs me. He's scared of me,
(12:34):
He's scared of everybody, but he runs away. He still,
you know, when I'm around, gives me like that arched back,
and I'm like, I am nothing but love, nothing but love,
all right? Maybe hear that joke a couple of weeks
ago on the on the three hundred episodes and Moos
is my favorite. Maybe he heard that joke and he's
not happy about it. I don't know, But I give
(12:55):
you my breakfast every day. You know, we share breakfast.
I share all my food. If I'm watching and I'm
having snacks, we share like we're buddies. Still giving me
that mean mug, still giving me that mean mug, and
I don't care. You know, It's like he'll come around.
I know it. But also I'm going to begin to
gain a complex here because both of those guys are
(13:19):
showing a lot of love to Mom, a lot of
love and I watched these cat videos. I watch these
cat videos like my cats stole my boyfriend, my cats
stole my husband. That's not happening in my house. That's
not happening. That's not happening in my house. They're going
to mom, they're loving on mom, and that is perfectly fine.
That's perfectly fine. Maybe those cats were girl cats. These
(13:40):
are two boy cats. Okay. I also read that you know,
if you have a beard, they like the rub against
your beard and you hold them. They think it's like,
you know, one of their moms. No, no, not no more.
I've seen Moose hop on me and then he noticed
that my wife was in the room where she was
in the bed or somewhere, and he's like, all right,
fuck you, I'm out of here, bitch. He didn't say that.
(14:02):
It sounded like that in my head though, probably my
paranoia going off, Fuck you, bitch, I'm out of here.
Hops on my wife and he gets all the snuggles
and he's purring. I'm like, stop your fucking purrent make
me feel even worse than I do. All I needed
was some snuggles, all right, Okay, I just had a
bad week. I'd argue about advertisements with the sun. Okay,
(14:23):
my son, all right, and here you are gonna go purr,
not on me, not giving me all your warm love.
But I will say they are very productive. They are
very productive because the only time those two really show
me the love is when I'm on the toilet. Okay,
that's when I'm on the toilet. And I read why
they do that. Now, cats will try to get into
(14:45):
the bathroom. They'll put their paws under, they'll they'll just
try to get in there because cats, I've learned, feel
very vulnerable when they are using the washroom. Right, So
when they're using the washroom, they are using the washroom,
they are vulnerable. So when you're using the washroom, they
think you're vulnerable. So they're here to protect you. So
even though he's not cuddling up, and he does every
(15:07):
so often, I kind of exaggerated, and you know, the purine,
but he does try to protect me and everybody when
they go in the bathroom. Now, hence Moose took it
one step further, all right, And I have not been
this uncomfortable since my little girl was crawling for the
first time and I was in the bathroom and she
crawled right into the bathroom, moose hopped on right, and
(15:31):
he's just protecting me and looking around. You know, I
just want to play fucking fruit ninja. All right, that's all.
I fucking want to do a little fruit ninja. Okay,
a little fruit ninja. But you know, I don't know.
Maybe I thought the fruit ninja, maybe thought those were
real weapons on the phone. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe he's telling me not to go
on X who knows.

Subscribe now, tell a friend, tell your weird uncle. Where
(17:21):
fall gets freaky?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, where fall gets freaky? More information coming soon. Yeah,
I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited, all right. So, yeah,
I talked about the cats. The cats. My sugar's been
spiking a little lately, and it's been bringing some numbers
that I haven't seen. And I'm like, what the fuck
am I eating? And I'm like, well, meeting the same
things I've been eating, So I'm not really like eating
(17:46):
bad food again, even though you know, like I said,
insulin does put wait on you. Surprised My sugars were spiking,
and I found out that stress causes spikes. Stress causes spikes. Now,
the one thing to stress me out is if something
changes in my daily routine. If something changes in my
daily routine or I'm not prepared for something, I usually
(18:10):
will have a meltdown. All right, I will have a meltdown.
And my sugars have been spiking. You know, stress, right,
everybody gets stressed here every so often, and yeah, they've
been been quite you know high, but right now I
can tell you at this point of the time that
they're not that high. They're they're actually more stabilized now,
(18:31):
So gay, can we have the collapse on effectively? I
don't know what I'm doing, but anyway, uh, I think
I know why a little higher than normal and stressed
because because in our neighborhood, and this is a literal thing,
(18:52):
we had five criminals, five criminals in our neighborhood. So
what happened was these criminals were robin cars. It involved
a high speed chase or a police chase, and then
there was an accident by our house. Now, we live
very close to Harlem, which is if you're not from Chicago,
that's a pretty main road. It's like Harlem's everywhere, right.
(19:16):
I know, I'm not good with directions, so somebody's probably
gonna say, well, Harlem's not by me. It's like, oh whatever, whatever.
So yeah, they crashed the car and they all ran.
Now the problem is where they crashed was very y
close to where we live, very like I'm talking very close,
and this is how close I'm going to tell you,
So very close to where we live, to the point
(19:38):
where the schools were on lockdown. Nobody could leave their house.
Anybody could leave their house. Everybody was on lockdown. And
there was literally literally a helicopter hovering over my head,
hovering over my head and just looking down, looking for criminals,
looking for criminals, hovering, hovering over our fucking house, offering
(20:04):
over our house. I got panicked. I got a little scared.
I said, oh, my god, it's the boy. He doesn't
like the ads. That's what it is. I don't know
at that time, but didn't make any sense. Are you fighting?
Did you fight away the hack where you don't have
to look at ads? That's why they're coming. But then
(20:25):
I realized it was the criminals. They've rested three out
of the five. That's good. That's a good percentage, right,
that's a good percentage. But yeah, they arrested him eventually,
but they were It was scary, all the helicopters. We
heard all these sirens before, like anybody got up with
like four or five. I don't know what time it
was actually, and you know, I didn't even have my
(20:46):
coffe yet. I knew it was early. And then we're like, oh,
what's that. Maybe there's an accident in Harlem. There was
an accident, but there's also criminals running everywhere. Yeah, but
they arrested him with the helicopters ever had. Maybe that's
why my stress was like, Okay, it threw me my
routine all the way off. I couldn't like. It took
me like a whole day to recover, you know, and
just it was something. The cats, they were predictive. They
(21:07):
were looking back and forth off the window, looking up
at the helicopter. I don't know what they would have done.
And I don't know. I don't know what they you
know what, I'm a visioning because of my head because
you know, at this point, it wasn't the boy with
his ads. He was you know, uh trying to get
out of like by hacking him. I was like, you know,
what's gonna happen. These criminals are gonna run in this house.
And this is my worst, my worst thought, my worst thought.
(21:30):
Most people think, Oh my god, they're gonna run this house.
They're gonna rob us, they're gonna take something, someone's gonna
get hurt. It's just gonna be horrible. My worst thought
at that time. And I'm not even joking when I
say this was these criminals are gonna run in this
fucking house, and those two cats are gonna go snuggle
with them. That's exactly what I thought. See, I told
(21:51):
you they were gonna be a complex. I said, Fuck,
they're gonna run in. They're gonna fucking run in. They're
gonna run it, and they're gonna snuggle with them. Oh
my god. There was this one time my brother he
was he was working, and the whole family. This is
(22:12):
like way back in the day. This is before I
was even married, and we were all all hanging out
on a Saturday night. It was my mom, my dad,
my young brother, and then my wife wasn't my wife
at the time. We were hanging out and my dad said, Hey,
I have an idea. I have an idea. You know,
when your brother comes home from work, let's like tie
each other up and you know, make it seem like
(22:34):
we were just robbed or something, so we could really
scare him. We could really scare him. Now, I don't
know why. It was like, you know, like in that group, right,
so there was what six of us, seven of us
or whatever, and one person makes that thing and none
of the other six, including me, were like, that's a
bad idea. Well, here's what happened. We decided to do it.
(22:59):
But my brother, the I didn't think about it was
he didn't come home till late from work. He was
he had to work late, he had to work a
couple extra hours, so nobody knew that. So we were
sitting around all tied up like a bunch of fools
for a few hours. The only thing that got robbed
that night was our time. But that's okay. You know,
my dad, that's where I get all my humor from
(23:19):
and all my jokes and all my scary new people.
So you know, that's probably why I was on board
with it. I tell you, it's good to be back.
It's still the still's still the crazy guess. You know.
We updated the bio, we have some new sound here,
we have some other cool things coming and yeah, but
(23:40):
it's still the same same me, same me, different day.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Speaking of new dad lines are coming, yep, the dad
voicemail line. So I'm gonna give dads out there an
opportunity to call the dadlines that We're gonna play clips
every so often on those lines, and you're gonna be
uh the opportunity to call in either, you know, maybe
you want to complain about something, maybe you want to
get some dad advice, maybe you want to tell a
dad joke, whatever you want to do, and we're gonna
play them. So the dad lines are coming very very
(24:08):
very soon. So I'm very excited for it. I can't wait.

because I do and I try to spread respect spread love,
(04:09):
spread be happy for that person if they're happy, and
if they're not, be there for that hug. But when
you see this bullshit that's all over on both sides
of the aisle, I don't know. I don't know. We
gotta get our shit together. We gotta get our shit together, right,
(04:33):
And I'm using the mean dad voice. I guess we
have to get our shit together. I don't know what
that was. I wish my voice was always like that.
I would sound cool and confident. Right now, I have
this lisp, so I'm not that cool or confident. Can
imagine that all day We'll go to get our shirt.
What was that? Holy fuck? What was that? A transformer?
(04:53):
Holy shit? What was that? Anyway, let's just just be
respectful everybody, please, buddy everybody. I'm not saying going out
today and hug random people on the streets, all right,
but there are days where we're not going to get
along with somebody's thoughts or opinions. You know, all right,
I'm going for that extra chip in the dip on
a Sunday, right, or that extra bear. My wife's like,
(05:15):
are you sure you want that extra bear? I'm like,
fucking yeah, I do. She doesn't even say that. But
you know, if we did, like baby, they would know
what's caused a fight. But we're like, no, what it's
your opinion in my opinion, and that's it. We have
to love, love, love, spread the love. Oh boy, oh boy, Okay,
(05:38):
down with the dad advice. We're down with the dad advice.
And but yeah, let's just come on, come on, everybody.
My son he is joining choir. He is, he's joining choir.
I didn't expect that coming. I didn't have that on
my bingo card for twenty twenty five. My son, he
(05:58):
really likes you know, he likes his technology, right, So
he likes his video games, he likes his VR, he
likes his Roadblocks or Robucks or whatever the hell it is.
He likes all that. He likes his YouTube. And if
there was a technology club, sure, I'm like, all right,
he's going to join it. That's cool. No, he's joining choir.
And I'm like, huh huh, joining choir. That's I'm proud
(06:19):
of him. I'm excited for him. I'm gonna root him on,
like all dad shit, But why why choir? Why choir? Uh?
And I asked him, I said, hey, are your you
know your friends in choir because sometimes, you know, kids
are influenced. You know, most of the times kids are
influenced the bad way, but a lot of times kids
are influencing the good way. Hey, my buddy's joining choir.
I'm gonna join too, he said no. I said, okay, well,
(06:42):
very cool. He goes all the girls are in choir.
I said, okay, wait a second, gain hold on. Oh boy,
oh boy, you know it went last year. I don't
like the girls. The girls have cooties, no, blah blah blah.
And then he sees his friend who has a crush
(07:04):
on a girl. And then all of a sudden he's
joining choir with not one, not two, but all the girls.
Oh boy, I said, you know, the kid is very handsome,
blue eyes, blond hair. All right, I'm like, ah, we
why do I feel like we're gonna have Like he's
(07:27):
gonna you know, he's gonna date a lot, and he
just it's just I don't know, and uh, it's like, okay,
I didn't have to worry about it last year. He's like, well,
you know, no, no, you know, no girls. And then
now it's it's girls. So yeah, gotta watch out for him.
I don't want him break in any girl's hearts. No
(07:47):
breaking hearts, no breaking hearts, I'll tell you, because his
heart's always broken. And the reason is is he doesn't
like advertisements. And I was like, huh, how do you
not like advertisements? What are you talking about? Well, and
you know, I said that, and I was like, what
a dumb dummity that I am, Like, nobody likes advertisings.
But the way he said, he's like I can't fast
forward through him. I'm like, buddy, welcome to my fucking world.
When I was your age, all right, when advertisements came on,
(08:10):
you had two things to do. You just sat there
and shut up and you watched them. Or two you
want to go to the bathroom, You took a piss,
you did whatever you needed to do to go because
you only had two minutes to do it. All right, Okay,
too many you gotta run and run back because that
show was not being paused, no pausing. Back in the nineties,
we're not pausing TV or not. We're watching, we're not pausing.
(08:35):
But yeah, it's like, I hate ads. I hate ads.
I'm like, you know, the kids, the kids these days,
they have some I don't even want to call them
real world problems. You know, it's everybody. It's it's it's
like seems like every kid and especially my kids too,
and I live with them, and you know, it's like
I don't like that. I'm like, well, okay, I don't
want to go to school. I'm like, what you have to?
(08:58):
You have to Okay, Okay, yeah, I have to go
to school. Yeah to it like watch the ad sometimes.
All right, well, the best you have it easier as
an adult. I'm like, I don't fucking have it any
easier than you. I still I still go to work.
I have to wake up every day, all right, I'm
going longer to work with you, all right, go to
(09:20):
school for six hours. I'm here eight hours, maybe a
nine hour day if needed. You have random holidays off,
I mean I do too. You know. I work for
a great company, so we have we have holidays. But
I'm just trying to make my point. I was at
that point. I was stretched. I was like to pull
the thing of it out. I don't even get highlights off.
I don't have to work Christmas. It's like, it's not
even true, that's not even true. That's far from the truth.
(09:44):
I don't even gification. It's like, no, I can get
a great amountification and great benefits. They have to think
of a new argument with him because he picks up it.
He does it. He's like, we're working from home today.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, but I'm still working. It's you
drive to a mom. I'm like, uh, probably he's gotta
(10:05):
break girl's heart to be a fucking lawyer, isn't he is?
He is? He is? He is? I read out. I
couldn't even argue anymore. I couldn't do anything. I was like, oh,
you won, congratulations, you have won. Oh my god, I
tell you, I tell you. Ah. Or it's always a
best when they're like, hey, I know what I want
(10:25):
to work, It's like, all right, we kid what you
wish for? All you get, you get good benefits, vacation
pay is good, you get take coffee breaks. You're like, fuck,
my argument is not going to work? Is it? My
cats my cats? Now, if you're new to the program,
(10:47):
I call my dogs my dogs, my dogs, not dogs?
What do I call my dogs if they're my cats?
Because cats does not have a nice like it doesn't
sound like you know my cats, my cats, my cats,
my cats, my cats, No, my dogs, my dolls, my dogs.
(11:09):
See how cool that signed with death boys? Don't ready
ready now? Wat says my cats? It signed off? I
heard it? Uh, I know? I call my dogs is
they're my rider die? Right right? They're my rider die.
But ever since, ever since we put them in the
tick talk World TikTok world, I've felt they have have
(11:32):
a little bit of attitude trying to become tick talk stars.
Here's what we do. We like to have the NFL
games picked on my TikTok channel plug intended here at
the daily life of Frank and the dogs, Moose and Nemo.
They pick, they pick right, They pick the games, and
Moose is getting quite a following. People are following him
(11:53):
and loving him, and I just feel the attitude now
mm hmm. And then you know, Moose is not too bad.
I think he's two and two or something in the
games he's picked, and Nemo's one in the zero one game.
I don't think we counted because he parkourd at the cup,
because he jumps around a lot. Because orange cats, which
I've learned, only have one brain cell. I don't know
(12:13):
if that's true, but if it's if it's If it's
not true, then I'm sorry for saying that. But if
it is true, then I have proof. Oh my god.
Tiny dog Nemo, also a cat. If we're playing at home,
loves to mean mug me, and I don't understand why
the fuck he mean mugs me. He's scared of me,
(12:34):
He's scared of everybody, but he runs away. He still,
you know, when I'm around, gives me like that arched back,
and I'm like, I am nothing but love, nothing but love,
all right? Maybe hear that joke a couple of weeks
ago on the on the three hundred episodes and Moos
is my favorite. Maybe he heard that joke and he's
not happy about it. I don't know, But I give
(12:55):
you my breakfast every day. You know, we share breakfast.
I share all my food. If I'm watching and I'm
having snacks, we share like we're buddies. Still giving me
that mean mug, still giving me that mean mug, and
I don't care. You know, It's like he'll come around.
I know it. But also I'm going to begin to
gain a complex here because both of those guys are
(13:19):
showing a lot of love to Mom, a lot of
love and I watched these cat videos. I watch these
cat videos like my cats stole my boyfriend, my cats
stole my husband. That's not happening in my house. That's
not happening. That's not happening in my house. They're going
to mom, they're loving on mom, and that is perfectly fine.
That's perfectly fine. Maybe those cats were girl cats. These
(13:40):
are two boy cats. Okay. I also read that you know,
if you have a beard, they like the rub against
your beard and you hold them. They think it's like,
you know, one of their moms. No, no, not no more.
I've seen Moose hop on me and then he noticed
that my wife was in the room where she was
in the bed or somewhere, and he's like, all right,
fuck you, I'm out of here, bitch. He didn't say that.
(14:02):
It sounded like that in my head though, probably my
paranoia going off, Fuck you, bitch, I'm out of here.
Hops on my wife and he gets all the snuggles
and he's purring. I'm like, stop your fucking purrent make
me feel even worse than I do. All I needed
was some snuggles, all right, Okay, I just had a
bad week. I'd argue about advertisements with the sun. Okay,
(14:23):
my son, all right, and here you are gonna go purr,
not on me, not giving me all your warm love.
But I will say they are very productive. They are
very productive because the only time those two really show
me the love is when I'm on the toilet. Okay,
that's when I'm on the toilet. And I read why
they do that. Now, cats will try to get into
(14:45):
the bathroom. They'll put their paws under, they'll they'll just
try to get in there because cats, I've learned, feel
very vulnerable when they are using the washroom. Right, So
when they're using the washroom, they are using the washroom,
they are vulnerable. So when you're using the washroom, they
think you're vulnerable. So they're here to protect you. So
even though he's not cuddling up, and he does every
(15:07):
so often, I kind of exaggerated, and you know, the purine,
but he does try to protect me and everybody when
they go in the bathroom. Now, hence Moose took it
one step further, all right, And I have not been
this uncomfortable since my little girl was crawling for the
first time and I was in the bathroom and she
crawled right into the bathroom, moose hopped on right, and
(15:31):
he's just protecting me and looking around. You know, I
just want to play fucking fruit ninja. All right, that's all.
I fucking want to do a little fruit ninja. Okay,
a little fruit ninja. But you know, I don't know.
Maybe I thought the fruit ninja, maybe thought those were
real weapons on the phone. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe he's telling me not to go
on X who knows.

(17:21):
fall gets freaky?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
All right, where fall gets freaky? More information coming soon. Yeah,
I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited, all right. So, yeah,
I talked about the cats. The cats. My sugar's been
spiking a little lately, and it's been bringing some numbers
that I haven't seen. And I'm like, what the fuck
am I eating? And I'm like, well, meeting the same
things I've been eating, So I'm not really like eating
(17:46):
bad food again, even though you know, like I said,
insulin does put wait on you. Surprised My sugars were spiking,
and I found out that stress causes spikes. Stress causes spikes. Now,
the one thing to stress me out is if something
changes in my daily routine. If something changes in my
daily routine or I'm not prepared for something, I usually
(18:10):
will have a meltdown. All right, I will have a meltdown.
And my sugars have been spiking. You know, stress, right,
everybody gets stressed here every so often, and yeah, they've
been been quite you know high, but right now I
can tell you at this point of the time that
they're not that high. They're they're actually more stabilized now,
(18:31):
So gay, can we have the collapse on effectively? I
don't know what I'm doing, but anyway, uh, I think
I know why a little higher than normal and stressed
because because in our neighborhood, and this is a literal thing,
(18:52):
we had five criminals, five criminals in our neighborhood. So
what happened was these criminals were robin cars. It involved
a high speed chase or a police chase, and then
there was an accident by our house. Now, we live
very close to Harlem, which is if you're not from Chicago,
that's a pretty main road. It's like Harlem's everywhere, right.
(19:16):
I know, I'm not good with directions, so somebody's probably
gonna say, well, Harlem's not by me. It's like, oh whatever, whatever.
So yeah, they crashed the car and they all ran.
Now the problem is where they crashed was very y
close to where we live, very like I'm talking very close,
and this is how close I'm going to tell you,
So very close to where we live, to the point
(19:38):
where the schools were on lockdown. Nobody could leave their house.
Anybody could leave their house. Everybody was on lockdown. And
there was literally literally a helicopter hovering over my head,
hovering over my head and just looking down, looking for criminals,
looking for criminals, hovering, hovering over our fucking house, offering
(20:04):
over our house. I got panicked. I got a little scared.
I said, oh, my god, it's the boy. He doesn't
like the ads. That's what it is. I don't know
at that time, but didn't make any sense. Are you fighting?
Did you fight away the hack where you don't have
to look at ads? That's why they're coming. But then
(20:25):
I realized it was the criminals. They've rested three out
of the five. That's good. That's a good percentage, right,
that's a good percentage. But yeah, they arrested him eventually,
but they were It was scary, all the helicopters. We
heard all these sirens before, like anybody got up with
like four or five. I don't know what time it
was actually, and you know, I didn't even have my
(20:46):
coffe yet. I knew it was early. And then we're like, oh,
what's that. Maybe there's an accident in Harlem. There was
an accident, but there's also criminals running everywhere. Yeah, but
they arrested him with the helicopters ever had. Maybe that's
why my stress was like, Okay, it threw me my
routine all the way off. I couldn't like. It took
me like a whole day to recover, you know, and
just it was something. The cats, they were predictive. They
(21:07):
were looking back and forth off the window, looking up
at the helicopter. I don't know what they would have done.
And I don't know. I don't know what they you
know what, I'm a visioning because of my head because
you know, at this point, it wasn't the boy with
his ads. He was you know, uh trying to get
out of like by hacking him. I was like, you know,
what's gonna happen. These criminals are gonna run in this house.
And this is my worst, my worst thought, my worst thought.
(21:30):
Most people think, Oh my god, they're gonna run this house.
They're gonna rob us, they're gonna take something, someone's gonna
get hurt. It's just gonna be horrible. My worst thought
at that time. And I'm not even joking when I
say this was these criminals are gonna run in this
fucking house, and those two cats are gonna go snuggle
with them. That's exactly what I thought. See, I told
(21:51):
you they were gonna be a complex. I said, Fuck,
they're gonna run in. They're gonna fucking run in. They're
gonna run it, and they're gonna snuggle with them. Oh
my god. There was this one time my brother he
was he was working, and the whole family. This is
(22:12):
like way back in the day. This is before I
was even married, and we were all all hanging out
on a Saturday night. It was my mom, my dad,
my young brother, and then my wife wasn't my wife
at the time. We were hanging out and my dad said, Hey,
I have an idea. I have an idea. You know,
when your brother comes home from work, let's like tie
each other up and you know, make it seem like
(22:34):
we were just robbed or something, so we could really
scare him. We could really scare him. Now, I don't
know why. It was like, you know, like in that group, right,
so there was what six of us, seven of us
or whatever, and one person makes that thing and none
of the other six, including me, were like, that's a
bad idea. Well, here's what happened. We decided to do it.
(22:59):
But my brother, the I didn't think about it was
he didn't come home till late from work. He was
he had to work late, he had to work a
couple extra hours, so nobody knew that. So we were
sitting around all tied up like a bunch of fools
for a few hours. The only thing that got robbed
that night was our time. But that's okay. You know,
my dad, that's where I get all my humor from
(23:19):
and all my jokes and all my scary new people.
So you know, that's probably why I was on board
with it. I tell you, it's good to be back.
It's still the still's still the crazy guess. You know.
We updated the bio, we have some new sound here,
we have some other cool things coming and yeah, but
(23:40):
it's still the same same me, same me, different day.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Speaking of new dad lines are coming, yep, the dad
voicemail line. So I'm gonna give dads out there an
opportunity to call the dadlines that We're gonna play clips
every so often on those lines, and you're gonna be
uh the opportunity to call in either, you know, maybe
you want to complain about something, maybe you want to
get some dad advice, maybe you want to tell a
dad joke, whatever you want to do, and we're gonna
play them. So the dad lines are coming very very
(24:08):
very soon. So I'm very excited for it. I can't wait.
It'll be fun, So take a look out for that.
The Daily Life of Frank dot Com is the website
where has everything that's going on. Some of our fall
stuff has not been posted yet, but we'll have some
more announcements around that very soon. So I'm excited. I'm excited.
It's heading to a good time. It was good to
(24:30):

three weeks. I don't know how much it was, but
I feel refreshed, I feel ready to go, and yeah,
I'm excited. I am very excited. All Right, you guys
