This week, I acted on my impulses and bought something on TikTok. The fall weather is MIA, and I’m emotionally committed to hoodies while physically stuck in shorts. The family hit the mall over the weekend for exotic snacks and claw machines. I also am left wondering why sugar free candy has so much fiber?!?
Plus, my headphones bounced off my stomach, I’ve got zero patience, and yes I’m doing the wrap-up thing again. My son became a student ambassador, calculator rebel, tablet hacker and now wears Axe for choir.
’ll share this and a whole bunch more on this week’s podcast centered around my daily life.

Hello and welcome to the Daily Life of Frank. My

The rest of your week, I should say where you
could tell everybody you know tomorrow Thursday, be like, Hey,
I got a joke I heard from this guy Frank.
He's pretty funny. Listen to his podcast. I don't know,
(03:08):
I'm just trying to be a conversation daughter from here
behind the mic. Yeah, hey, I purchased something from TikTok?
I did? Did I parched something from TikTok? And he usually,
you know, I stay away from that. I don't know.
Maybe it's just being an old man like I am
(03:28):
an old man, because you know, I'm like, oh, they're
gonna take why credit card? Then I'm like, well, they're
gonna be fucking surprised when they go into the bank account.
Rant was two with the first today, so huh surprised.
And uh yeah. What I bought was, you know, an
(03:50):
emulator what plays all old, all old school video games.
And I thought he was that legal. I don't even know.
I may go to jail right now. They make up
burst it through the studio though, or I'd take me out.
But I've been looking for an emulator for a long time,
you know. And I've seen prices there one hundreds, one
hundred and fifty, two hundred and all those kind of things,
(04:12):
which is craziness, craziness for something like that. And I
found one about a good deal. I had a TikTok
some percentage off. So it's coming today at some point,
which I'm excited because I'll let everybody know the recap.
I will say that, but I'm probably gonna forget that.
I'm like, uh, did I Because usually when I say something,
I don't write it down. I am not going to
(04:33):
remember it. I promise you that I will not remember
it at all not at all. Sorry, but yeah, so
I'll see how it is. It's kind of exciting. It
was a good deal and I got like kind of like,
you know, like obsessed. I'm like, oh, what else can
I buy it? For reasonable prices? And my son, he
(04:55):
made the comedy, He's like, yeah, congratulations giving your credit
card away, and I'm like, oh if he says it.
And he's much younger and much cooler than I am,
and much more in the know on technology, uh than
oh no, oh no, I should have asked to where
the fuck is the fall weather at? Holy moly, I
(05:16):
know that's another old man coming right there, another old
man situation. I'm like, I don't want fucking nineties. I
just want the fall to be here. I want the
fall to be here. Throw me off. I had to
get back into my shorts. I am not in shorts
weather anymore. Okay. Ever since the football season started, even
even before that, I've been eating. I've been I've been
(05:38):
getting you know, ready, getting ready to you know, it's
like a fucking bear. I'm getting ready to hybridate. No,
I'm getting ready. You know. I'm getting some good foods.
A lot of it is carb free, which is good.
I'm keeping my sugars intact and just you know, stack
it up on the protein. No, I'm not doing one
of those meat diets or anything, but you know, having
some good foods. So things are a little tight lately, tightly,
(06:00):
and I've been eating a lot of fiber too, so
I'm a little bloated. I'll explain that too coming up.
But yeah, it's some a little tight on some you know,
the shorts are tight, and I'm not going to go
buy new shorts because summer should be over falls should
be here. All I want to do is wear a
fucking hoodie. That's all I want to do. It's throwing
me off. For instance, my wife said on Saturday, we
want to go with the pumpkin patch. Is that fuck? No,
(06:20):
We're not going to the pumpkin pats. It's ninety two
degrees out. I Am not hauling a fucking pumpkin from
the pumpkin pats because I can't trust my kids to say, oh,
you know, the kids are like, oh, we'll do it,
and then you go there and they're like, I'm not
carrying that fucker, and you're like, well I'm not either,
And we have a long way we parked all the
way down. I don't know why. Uh no, we did
because it's busy. It's busy, it's beautiful weather. Normal people
(06:40):
are out in this beautiful weather. I'm the one bitching
a moaning and nothing that happened because I was just
playing that out of my head. That's how long it tooks.
It's like forty two minutes. That's scenario to play out
of my brain. Just not to go. We didn't go.
I was like, you know, it's kind of warm. I
want were hoodie. I don't want to walk in the
heat into the corn field and the snake's like summer. Like,
I don't know how a snake talks. I have no idea. Well, yeah,
(07:06):
so we didn't go, but we went somewhere else. And
that's the thing. We went somewhere else because I'd like
to do at least one thing on the weekends with
the kids, the family, a couple of things, you know,
and that's not including in some of the video games
and playing with my son or some of those conversations
we have with my daughter, my girly girl. We decided
to go to the mall. Yeah, we did a retro.
We're like, let's go to the fucking mall, because a
(07:27):
mall has a lot of cool things. There, a lot
of cool things. So we went to this place that
has exotic snacks, the snacks that you can buy from
around the world and you can't find it in the US. Now,
my kids they love that stuff. Me, it is atrociouss
to my stomach. I don't know what it is. I'll
(07:48):
be out of commission for a week if I have
one chip of any chip. I'm like, so if I travel,
oh my god, maybe I should travel. Probably will be
lots skinnier, a lot skinnier. My wife clearly pointed out too,
because well really, because if you, if you, if you
went somewhere, you probably find a food you like and
you would eat it. I'm like, thanks, honey, thank you
for the positiveness that I needed today. Appreciate it. So
(08:13):
we went to the mall and we got some exotic snacks.
I think it's exotic snacks, Daddy, exotic Dad's. I don't
what is this place called. Now I have to look
it up. Now I got to look it up because
I'm gonna screw it up. And I want to give
these guys some you know, uh, promotion here because they
(08:35):
were very nice in the store in the mall. Uh,
and it was it was good. It was a good experience.
It was good, like, you know, the kids got to
purchase some things that they normally wouldn't have purchased. You know,
it's not the same old US stuff. They probably ate
a lot healthier because a lot of that stuff probably
doesn't have any of that crap in it, which is good.
(08:56):
So yeah, it was really fun and it was a
good time. It was a good good time. But yeah,
Exotic snack guy, I don't know where I got Exotic
snacks daddy. I don't know did I get that from?
It's Exotic snacks daddy. Oh my god, that sounds like
a fucking only fans handle. Like Exotic Snacks Daddy. That's
(09:18):
like an only fans handle right there. God, Exotic snack guys.
They were really good. They were really nice. We went
to Orden Mall. So thank you guys for being very
very cool to my kiddos and even answering some questions
online beforehand. And yeah, they were really nice in there.
And yeah, the food, the food, I don't know because
(09:40):
I didn't try it. I tried. My son forced me
to try one. Thing, and then I had diarrhea for
four hours after No, I'm only kidding. I tried like
a roasted chicken dorito and I can't have any more
of that. But it was okay. It was okay, not bad.
It's like ramen. You know, the packet of ramen you have,
That's what it tasted like. So yeah, it was. It
(10:00):
was a good time, and you know, we were gonna leave,
and then we saw a cross from the distance was
a clow machine place like a clow machine, and those
things are not popping up too. So the exotic snacks
and the claw machine are two things that are very
popular on TikTok. They're widely popular all over. So we
decided to go in there. We lost. We lost right away.
(10:23):
I lost everything. But it was fun. It was definitely
a fun experience, a fun different Saturday hanging out of
the mall. I haven't hung out of the mall since
I was like fourteen, so to go there and my kids,
of course, they're like, hey, can we see everything else?
And at that point I was like, nam because you
know what, I have a couple of shoppers in my family,
(10:43):
including dad right here, a lot of shopping, so like
you know, I would have probably bursted through the carb
wall with like pretzels like double fist and Anti Annie's
Pretzels right right around like hey with me, boom boom
boom boom boom boom, like I'm doing a pretzel workout.
(11:05):
We would have been in hot topic, we would have
been on some VR thing. It would have been crazy.
So I said next time. I said next time, which
do not have to be after the holidays, because holidays
are coming up and I am not leaving my house
to go to the mall during the holidays. That's how
old I am. I love myself some sugar free candy.
I think I've talked about this before. I have a
question for all you sugar free candy makers out there,
(11:27):
Why the fuck is it so high in fiber? All right,
why is it so high in fiber? I had a
package of candy. It was delicious. I ate the whole bag,
and then I noticed it was thirty five grams of fiber.
No sugar, really, but thirty five grams of fiber. And yeah,
and I know it lowers the carbs and the net
(11:48):
carbs and all that kind of stuff. I get it,
I know it, I know it but I'll tell you
right now, I've been blowing for three weeks. I ate
that bag of candy three weeks ago, and I'm fucking
bloated still, okay, you know, bloated, just bloated. It's uh.
I feel like just I don't know, I just feel horrible.
I can't move things ache. I've developed a bigger stomach,
(12:15):
developed a bigger stomach, and I was concerned. I was concerned,
you know, developing the bigger stomach, obviously, but also to
the fact that I had a pair of headphones, like
you know those ear headphones you just put in your ear,
you know, whatever you're supposed to work out. I guess
which I don't. And the headphone, little headphone piece came
(12:36):
out of my ear and hit my stomach and went
flying across the room like it just like that, and
it's like, oh fuck, that's gone. That's an outer space
that has officially took off to outer space. Fell out
of my ear, hit my stomach trampoline and went right
to the moon, right to outer spice, outer space. It
went my boom, Holy god. I had a call in
(12:59):
the search and rescue team. I had my kids, the cats,
moose had a little head lamp on walking around like
seeing what he could see. My god, my god, and
everybody knows me that I need music to get me
through a lot of things. So yeah, my wife found it,
though eventually she did. She find We called it that,
(13:19):
We called off the search and rescue, like, no, we're dead,
we're good, it's over. Moose took off his headlamp. But
I'll tell you that thing went fucking flying, flying, flying
to the moon. It went, Oh my god, it was
just god awful. I don't even know. It was just
(13:42):
and it was on top of like just eating a
bag of candy that's sugar free and a lot of fibers.
I wasn't feeling my best and I was already crabby,
and I had no patience as was so when I
bounced off my stomach, I was like, fuck it, it's gone.
It's gone. I gotta buy a new pair of headphones.
Like I didn't want to look. I was like, I
gotta buy a new pair of headphone. This thing is gone.
It is officially gone. There's no more headphones ever, what
(14:06):
my headphones? I was like, just yeah, throwing a tantrum
because I really don't have any patiences anymore. I don't
know what is. I don't know what happened. I don't
know if I transitioned to fully to an older gentleman,
you know, you know, I don't know if that. If
that's the case, maybe I just like transitioned over. I'm mean,
I'm an old guy. I don't know. And I'll complain
(14:29):
about the weather. You know, I've complained about food, intake,
no patience. I've been doing this thing like a fucking
I'm like, I'm the oscars. Like if somebody talks to
me and I know the conversation is like slow moving,
I'm like, come on, come on, come on, I do
my I can't think, like, come on, let's go wrap
it up. Like I'm the fucking oscar. It's like, just
plays me. He's like do I don't know. I don't know.
(14:52):
Maybe it's it's a it's part of ADHD, right, you know,
because my brain is is primarily focused, primarily focused, or
primarily like in a zone or primarily somewhere you know,
like uh and a lot of times when a conversation,
kudos my wife that she hadn't just killed me, and
(15:13):
you know, ask the cats to help with the body
Moose puts his head lamp back on. He's like, we
gotta go into a dark place.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And he was like, we have to go to a
dark place, or Daddy, we have to hide its fat body.
It's gonna take a lot of digging, a lot of
digging and deep digging.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Uh so yeah, so especially kid, because I I've done
that before and you know, uh yeah, it's not good. Men.
Don't do that to your wives. Please don't wrap them
up like a fucking oscar, Like you know, if she
should win a tons of wards for just putting up
with me, but I should.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Be like doo doo doo do do do do? I
would have liked do do do do? Hey, here are
the kids going do do do? Maybe they need to
make that free.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But with ADHD I would buy it, probably because of impulse,
but I would buy it, you know, like you had
a button when somebody comes home and like, hey, I
want to tell you about the story. I was out
shopping and there was like do do do do do
do do do do do do? And I want to
say one thing about the guy at the grocery. Do
(16:22):
play him right off? My son, my son sweet and sly,
that's the best way to describe them. The best adjectives
to describe my son sweet and sly. My son got
his homework done the other day using a calculator. He
had two tablets near him. One was the school tablet,
the other was a calculator. But at this point, we
(16:45):
all know his parents. We get to a point during
the week where we're like, fuck it, I don't care
what you do at this point anymore. And we were
at that point. It was like Thursday night headed into Friday.
If he wanted to fucking ask an Ai to do
his homework, I wouldn't care at that point, sly dog.
If he can't multiply that is, don't tell him. Totally fine,
(17:06):
I don't even multip I failed math when I was
in college. I failed it, okay, And that wasn't my fancy.
It was like basic algebra. So when the kids are like,
we don't even remember to use this, and then it
may have multiplied a few times in my life, but
I'm not like sitting there like I'm not an accountant, right,
I'm not multiplying things. So, yeah, he used it, and
(17:27):
he got one wrong. I think he got one wrong
on purpose to kind of show that he wasn't using
a calculator, he said, he claimed, he claimed he did
the question wrong, or but I think he did it
a purpose because he's kind of sly. He's a sly dude.
So yeah, yeah, so he's using that. He has taught
his class mates how to unlock the tablet when the
(17:49):
teacher puts the lock on. So teachers in the schools
now they have you know, kids have his tablets and
teachers have a button. They hit it and it locks
them out because sometimes kids are like, who it's a tablet,
like that right, and and yeah it's it's distracting. So
you hit the button and it's done. But my son
has figured away how to maneuver through that. He hasn't
(18:11):
charged anybody with with it, So I'm guessing he's probably
in beta mood, beta mood, beta mode for his hacking capabilities,
which is good. He's testing it out and then he'll
see when he gets next year what if he should
charge or not. God, oh god, he's growing up quick.
He's growing up. He uses axe now before a choir.
(18:34):
Apparently he does use it every day, you know, before school.
But you know, he's the boy in the choir and
all the girls in his class are in there. He's
he's an axe. But churry, churry. But I will say
he is also very sweet. Like I said, he's very sweet,
very sweet because he's a student ambassador. He became a
student ambassador. Now maybe he has another side of it,
(18:57):
like how I can, you know, be charge kids for
hall passes or whatnot. I don't know. I don't know
if that's coming forthcoming to make come. But that's fine.
It's it's smart business, smart business, I think. But yeah,
he's a student ambassador, which I'm very proud of him,
very proud of him. You know, it's just he's he
If you saw him play VR, you would say, wow,
(19:20):
he's a he's a very confident kid. But outside of
that realm, he's still he's still working on building that confident, right,
the confidence. So when he is going to choir, all
jokes as like when he's going to choir, when he's
becoming a student ambassador, he's coming out of his shell.
And it makes me excited as a dad because he's
following that rule I have is run into the fire.
(19:41):
And you know, we're always going to be afraid of
things to do. But the only way to get through
those fears is to do them and and I love
seeing that. And he's a mini me, short tempered, had
some anger issues, but besides that, he likes to have fun.
Like you know, I built up that emporium and I
have everything out there and and the light and everything,
and he does kind of the same thing, right. He
(20:02):
we have a garage where we have some cool things.
We have like a hockey table out there, there's some
Xbox and this is fun. So he turned into an
arcade and he invitabated to come to the arcade. No,
it was family. He wasn't charging anybody. But yeah, so
just to see that, you know, it makes you feel
makes you feel good as a dad, it really does.
And if it was he was totally different and he
wasn't like me at all, I still be very proud
(20:24):
of him. Dad lines are open, that's right, advice, tips,
dad jokes, whatever you have. You could call this number
and leave me a voicemail and I might just play
it on the podcast. The number is three one two
nine four five eight seven four two. It's three one
two nine four five eight seven four two. Those are
(20:46):
the dadlines. They are open call and I might play
it on this podcast. I might just play it on
this podcast. All right, it's time for a dad joke.
It's fall and it's Halloween time, even though the weather
is not cooperating. So I'm gonna leave you with a
(21:09):
Halloween dad joke. Why didn't the mom let the little
witch go tricker treating with her friends? Why didn't the
mom let the little witch go tricker treating with her friends?
Because she was expelled from school? I hit the wrong
side effects. Let me try that again. She was expelled
(21:33):
from school. No, do we have any laugh tracks? She
was expelled from school. You guys, have a great weekend,

weather anymore. Okay. Ever since the football season started, even
even before that, I've been eating. I've been I've been
(05:38):
getting you know, ready, getting ready to you know, it's
like a fucking bear. I'm getting ready to hybridate. No,
I'm getting ready. You know. I'm getting some good foods.
A lot of it is carb free, which is good.
I'm keeping my sugars intact and just you know, stack
it up on the protein. No, I'm not doing one
of those meat diets or anything, but you know, having
some good foods. So things are a little tight lately, tightly,
(06:00):
and I've been eating a lot of fiber too, so
I'm a little bloated. I'll explain that too coming up.
But yeah, it's some a little tight on some you know,
the shorts are tight, and I'm not going to go
buy new shorts because summer should be over falls should
be here. All I want to do is wear a
fucking hoodie. That's all I want to do. It's throwing
me off. For instance, my wife said on Saturday, we
want to go with the pumpkin patch. Is that fuck? No,
(06:20):
We're not going to the pumpkin pats. It's ninety two
degrees out. I Am not hauling a fucking pumpkin from
the pumpkin pats because I can't trust my kids to say, oh,
you know, the kids are like, oh, we'll do it,
and then you go there and they're like, I'm not
carrying that fucker, and you're like, well I'm not either,
And we have a long way we parked all the
way down. I don't know why. Uh no, we did
because it's busy. It's busy, it's beautiful weather. Normal people
(06:40):
are out in this beautiful weather. I'm the one bitching
a moaning and nothing that happened because I was just
playing that out of my head. That's how long it tooks.
It's like forty two minutes. That's scenario to play out
of my brain. Just not to go. We didn't go.
I was like, you know, it's kind of warm. I
want were hoodie. I don't want to walk in the
heat into the corn field and the snake's like summer. Like,
I don't know how a snake talks. I have no idea. Well, yeah,
(07:06):
so we didn't go, but we went somewhere else. And
that's the thing. We went somewhere else because I'd like
to do at least one thing on the weekends with
the kids, the family, a couple of things, you know,
and that's not including in some of the video games
and playing with my son or some of those conversations
we have with my daughter, my girly girl. We decided
to go to the mall. Yeah, we did a retro.
We're like, let's go to the fucking mall, because a
(07:27):
mall has a lot of cool things. There, a lot
of cool things. So we went to this place that
has exotic snacks, the snacks that you can buy from
around the world and you can't find it in the US. Now,
my kids they love that stuff. Me, it is atrociouss
to my stomach. I don't know what it is. I'll
(07:48):
be out of commission for a week if I have
one chip of any chip. I'm like, so if I travel,
oh my god, maybe I should travel. Probably will be
lots skinnier, a lot skinnier. My wife clearly pointed out too,
because well really, because if you, if you, if you
went somewhere, you probably find a food you like and
you would eat it. I'm like, thanks, honey, thank you
for the positiveness that I needed today. Appreciate it. So
(08:13):
we went to the mall and we got some exotic snacks.
I think it's exotic snacks, Daddy, exotic Dad's. I don't
what is this place called. Now I have to look
it up. Now I got to look it up because
I'm gonna screw it up. And I want to give
these guys some you know, uh, promotion here because they
(08:35):
were very nice in the store in the mall. Uh,
and it was it was good. It was a good experience.
It was good, like, you know, the kids got to
purchase some things that they normally wouldn't have purchased. You know,
it's not the same old US stuff. They probably ate
a lot healthier because a lot of that stuff probably
doesn't have any of that crap in it, which is good.
(08:56):
So yeah, it was really fun and it was a
good time. It was a good good time. But yeah,
Exotic snack guy, I don't know where I got Exotic
snacks daddy. I don't know did I get that from?
It's Exotic snacks daddy. Oh my god, that sounds like
a fucking only fans handle. Like Exotic Snacks Daddy. That's
(09:18):
like an only fans handle right there. God, Exotic snack guys.
They were really good. They were really nice. We went
to Orden Mall. So thank you guys for being very
very cool to my kiddos and even answering some questions
online beforehand. And yeah, they were really nice in there.
And yeah, the food, the food, I don't know because
(09:40):
I didn't try it. I tried. My son forced me
to try one. Thing, and then I had diarrhea for
four hours after No, I'm only kidding. I tried like
a roasted chicken dorito and I can't have any more
of that. But it was okay. It was okay, not bad.
It's like ramen. You know, the packet of ramen you have,
That's what it tasted like. So yeah, it was. It
(10:00):
was a good time, and you know, we were gonna leave,
and then we saw a cross from the distance was
a clow machine place like a clow machine, and those
things are not popping up too. So the exotic snacks
and the claw machine are two things that are very
popular on TikTok. They're widely popular all over. So we
decided to go in there. We lost. We lost right away.
(10:23):
I lost everything. But it was fun. It was definitely
a fun experience, a fun different Saturday hanging out of
the mall. I haven't hung out of the mall since
I was like fourteen, so to go there and my kids,
of course, they're like, hey, can we see everything else?
And at that point I was like, nam because you
know what, I have a couple of shoppers in my family,
(10:43):
including dad right here, a lot of shopping, so like
you know, I would have probably bursted through the carb
wall with like pretzels like double fist and Anti Annie's
Pretzels right right around like hey with me, boom boom
boom boom boom boom, like I'm doing a pretzel workout.
(11:05):
We would have been in hot topic, we would have
been on some VR thing. It would have been crazy.
So I said next time. I said next time, which
do not have to be after the holidays, because holidays
are coming up and I am not leaving my house
to go to the mall during the holidays. That's how
old I am. I love myself some sugar free candy.
I think I've talked about this before. I have a
question for all you sugar free candy makers out there,
(11:27):
Why the fuck is it so high in fiber? All right,
why is it so high in fiber? I had a
package of candy. It was delicious. I ate the whole bag,
and then I noticed it was thirty five grams of fiber.
No sugar, really, but thirty five grams of fiber. And yeah,
and I know it lowers the carbs and the net
(11:48):
carbs and all that kind of stuff. I get it,
I know it, I know it but I'll tell you
right now, I've been blowing for three weeks. I ate
that bag of candy three weeks ago, and I'm fucking
bloated still, okay, you know, bloated, just bloated. It's uh.
I feel like just I don't know, I just feel horrible.
I can't move things ache. I've developed a bigger stomach,
(12:15):
developed a bigger stomach, and I was concerned. I was concerned,
you know, developing the bigger stomach, obviously, but also to
the fact that I had a pair of headphones, like
you know those ear headphones you just put in your ear,
you know, whatever you're supposed to work out. I guess
which I don't. And the headphone, little headphone piece came
(12:36):
out of my ear and hit my stomach and went
flying across the room like it just like that, and
it's like, oh fuck, that's gone. That's an outer space
that has officially took off to outer space. Fell out
of my ear, hit my stomach trampoline and went right
to the moon, right to outer spice, outer space. It
went my boom, Holy god. I had a call in
(12:59):
the search and rescue team. I had my kids, the cats,
moose had a little head lamp on walking around like
seeing what he could see. My god, my god, and
everybody knows me that I need music to get me
through a lot of things. So yeah, my wife found it,
though eventually she did. She find We called it that,
(13:19):
We called off the search and rescue, like, no, we're dead,
we're good, it's over. Moose took off his headlamp. But
I'll tell you that thing went fucking flying, flying, flying
to the moon. It went, Oh my god, it was
just god awful. I don't even know. It was just
(13:42):
and it was on top of like just eating a
bag of candy that's sugar free and a lot of fibers.
I wasn't feeling my best and I was already crabby,
and I had no patience as was so when I
bounced off my stomach, I was like, fuck it, it's gone.
It's gone. I gotta buy a new pair of headphones.
Like I didn't want to look. I was like, I
gotta buy a new pair of headphone. This thing is gone.
It is officially gone. There's no more headphones ever, what
(14:06):
my headphones? I was like, just yeah, throwing a tantrum
because I really don't have any patiences anymore. I don't
know what is. I don't know what happened. I don't
know if I transitioned to fully to an older gentleman,
you know, you know, I don't know if that. If
that's the case, maybe I just like transitioned over. I'm mean,
I'm an old guy. I don't know. And I'll complain
(14:29):
about the weather. You know, I've complained about food, intake,
no patience. I've been doing this thing like a fucking
I'm like, I'm the oscars. Like if somebody talks to
me and I know the conversation is like slow moving,
I'm like, come on, come on, come on, I do
my I can't think, like, come on, let's go wrap
it up. Like I'm the fucking oscar. It's like, just
plays me. He's like do I don't know. I don't know.
(14:52):
Maybe it's it's a it's part of ADHD, right, you know,
because my brain is is primarily focused, primarily focused, or
primarily like in a zone or primarily somewhere you know,
like uh and a lot of times when a conversation,
kudos my wife that she hadn't just killed me, and
(15:13):
you know, ask the cats to help with the body
Moose puts his head lamp back on. He's like, we
gotta go into a dark place.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And he was like, we have to go to a
dark place, or Daddy, we have to hide its fat body.
It's gonna take a lot of digging, a lot of
digging and deep digging.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Uh so yeah, so especially kid, because I I've done
that before and you know, uh yeah, it's not good. Men.
Don't do that to your wives. Please don't wrap them
up like a fucking oscar, Like you know, if she
should win a tons of wards for just putting up
with me, but I should.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Be like doo doo doo do do do do? I
would have liked do do do do? Hey, here are
the kids going do do do? Maybe they need to
make that free.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
But with ADHD I would buy it, probably because of impulse,
but I would buy it, you know, like you had
a button when somebody comes home and like, hey, I
want to tell you about the story. I was out
shopping and there was like do do do do do
do do do do do do? And I want to
say one thing about the guy at the grocery. Do
(16:22):
play him right off? My son, my son sweet and sly,
that's the best way to describe them. The best adjectives
to describe my son sweet and sly. My son got
his homework done the other day using a calculator. He
had two tablets near him. One was the school tablet,
the other was a calculator. But at this point, we
(16:45):
all know his parents. We get to a point during
the week where we're like, fuck it, I don't care
what you do at this point anymore. And we were
at that point. It was like Thursday night headed into Friday.
If he wanted to fucking ask an Ai to do
his homework, I wouldn't care at that point, sly dog.
If he can't multiply that is, don't tell him. Totally fine,
(17:06):
I don't even multip I failed math when I was
in college. I failed it, okay, And that wasn't my fancy.
It was like basic algebra. So when the kids are like,
we don't even remember to use this, and then it
may have multiplied a few times in my life, but
I'm not like sitting there like I'm not an accountant, right,
I'm not multiplying things. So, yeah, he used it, and
(17:27):
he got one wrong. I think he got one wrong
on purpose to kind of show that he wasn't using
a calculator, he said, he claimed, he claimed he did
the question wrong, or but I think he did it
a purpose because he's kind of sly. He's a sly dude.
So yeah, yeah, so he's using that. He has taught
his class mates how to unlock the tablet when the
(17:49):
teacher puts the lock on. So teachers in the schools
now they have you know, kids have his tablets and
teachers have a button. They hit it and it locks
them out because sometimes kids are like, who it's a tablet,
like that right, and and yeah it's it's distracting. So
you hit the button and it's done. But my son
has figured away how to maneuver through that. He hasn't
(18:11):
charged anybody with with it, So I'm guessing he's probably
in beta mood, beta mood, beta mode for his hacking capabilities,
which is good. He's testing it out and then he'll
see when he gets next year what if he should
charge or not. God, oh god, he's growing up quick.
He's growing up. He uses axe now before a choir.
(18:34):
Apparently he does use it every day, you know, before school.
But you know, he's the boy in the choir and
all the girls in his class are in there. He's
he's an axe. But churry, churry. But I will say
he is also very sweet. Like I said, he's very sweet,
very sweet because he's a student ambassador. He became a
student ambassador. Now maybe he has another side of it,
(18:57):
like how I can, you know, be charge kids for
hall passes or whatnot. I don't know. I don't know
if that's coming forthcoming to make come. But that's fine.
It's it's smart business, smart business, I think. But yeah,
he's a student ambassador, which I'm very proud of him,
very proud of him. You know, it's just he's he
If you saw him play VR, you would say, wow,
(19:20):
he's a he's a very confident kid. But outside of
that realm, he's still he's still working on building that confident, right,
the confidence. So when he is going to choir, all
jokes as like when he's going to choir, when he's
becoming a student ambassador, he's coming out of his shell.
And it makes me excited as a dad because he's
following that rule I have is run into the fire.
(19:41):
And you know, we're always going to be afraid of
things to do. But the only way to get through
those fears is to do them and and I love
seeing that. And he's a mini me, short tempered, had
some anger issues, but besides that, he likes to have fun.
Like you know, I built up that emporium and I
have everything out there and and the light and everything,
and he does kind of the same thing, right. He
(20:02):
we have a garage where we have some cool things.
We have like a hockey table out there, there's some
Xbox and this is fun. So he turned into an
arcade and he invitabated to come to the arcade. No,
it was family. He wasn't charging anybody. But yeah, so
just to see that, you know, it makes you feel
makes you feel good as a dad, it really does.
And if it was he was totally different and he
wasn't like me at all, I still be very proud
(20:24):
of him. Dad lines are open, that's right, advice, tips,
dad jokes, whatever you have. You could call this number
and leave me a voicemail and I might just play
it on the podcast. The number is three one two
nine four five eight seven four two. It's three one
two nine four five eight seven four two. Those are
(20:46):
the dadlines. They are open call and I might play
it on this podcast. I might just play it on
this podcast. All right, it's time for a dad joke.
It's fall and it's Halloween time, even though the weather
is not cooperating. So I'm gonna leave you with a
(21:09):
Halloween dad joke. Why didn't the mom let the little
witch go tricker treating with her friends? Why didn't the
mom let the little witch go tricker treating with her friends?
Because she was expelled from school? I hit the wrong
side effects. Let me try that again. She was expelled
(21:33):
from school. No, do we have any laugh tracks? She
was expelled from school. You guys, have a great weekend,
have a great week, have a great rest of your Wednesday.
