Speaker 2 (01:54):
Hello, I'm welcome and this is the Daily Life of Frank.
My name is Frank. This episode three hundred and three. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
don't faulse not here yet so you'll hear me bitch
about that. Here in a second. But we have a
jam pack program for you today. We do. We do
(02:19):
episode three hundred and three. I can't believe both for
three hundred episodes. So last week I shared that I
purchased a game emulator on TikTok, and I am happy
to say that that has been a very good purchase,
(02:45):
maybe possibly one of the best purchases that I've made
in a very long time. It was five dollars. It
was five dollars, five dollars, as all were. It was
five dollars, five dollars as not much came by a
foot long sandwich for five dollars anymore, it's about for
five dollars. And it's a little glitchy here and there,
(03:07):
and there's things, but for five dollars, really, for five dollars,
where it'll just keep me busy, keep me out of trouble,
you know, keep me aligned. It's good for my mental clarity.
So five dollars, you know, Now, if I would have
bought like a five hundred dollars system, I wanted to
(03:29):
be pristine. For five dollars, I was okay getting to
play old school video games, playing a lot of the
old school games when I was a kid, thinking about
those moments, growing up, eating bagel bites, playing video games
with my brothers, playing some of the old WWF wrestling
games with my son. My son not happy because I'm
(03:53):
dominating finally in a video game. So you no, I
think you got a process. But then I fall forward
and it's like the that button. But no, for five dollars,
it's not bad at all. It was not a bad
purchase at all. And I can't complain. I cannot complain.
It's fun, you know, And I don't need to play
for it all day. If I don't need to play
(04:14):
for like eight hours, I play for an hour here,
half hour there. Yeah, so it all works out, all
works out. It was really a good thing. Now I'm
scared because now I'm like, oh, for five dollars, that
turned out really good. What else could I get for
five dollars? It's a little wacky. Open the floodgates there,
open up the bank account, tell you opening up everything now,
(04:41):
Oh man, I tell you, so, no falls not here yet.
It's warm, it's hot, it's sticky, it's humid, it's summer,
and I refuse, I continuously refuse to wear shorts. So
I'm wearing jeans, and it feels like a sauna going on. Swampy.
Not to be too tmi, even though that was pretty
(05:02):
TMI swampy, just horrible. But I'm not doing it. I'm
not going backwards. It's fall weather. I've opened by the
way i'm acting, you know, in the way i'm dressing
that I'm gonna make the fall emulate. Oh, there we go.
That's the word of the day, and I use that
right there. I don't know, yeah, but it's just a
(05:25):
little little hot, a little hot. But I you know,
we're gonna get through it. We're gonna get through it.
My lower half is just gonna have to realize, Hey,
this is only temporary. Okay, okay, the fall weather is
coming soon. I can promise you that that fall weather
is coming soon. You know. Oh man, oh man, But
(05:49):
it's so warm outside. My daughter had a lemonade stand, Yeah,
in October. Who would have thought. First off, thank you
to all my neighbors. Very great, very generous, you know,
money buying lemonade. My daughter had some bracelets made her
and her friend had some stickers. It was a good
lemonade stand. I've been, you know, on the fence about
(06:11):
lemonade stance. I think that we had a inflation of
them over the summer. They seemed to be at every quarter.
And I apologize if you hear talking to stuff outside,
and the reason is it's hot, so I have to
have the window open, and if I have the fan
on then it sounds murky on the mic. So, hey,
this is the real life. You know, We're not in
(06:32):
some fancy studio. We just got out. We gotta do it.
But yeah, so lemonade stand was thriving, thriving, you know,
after the four hours or five hours she was out there,
it's like, Okay, I don't want to work every again.
I'm like, oh really really now, you guys know how
hard it is to work, what it is to bring
(06:52):
in that money. You guys know now, oh man. But yeah,
so we're good. You know, had a lemonade stand. You know.
Poor kiddo though, even though we have not changed seasons yet,
she's coming down with some nasty, some nastiness. I don't
know if it's a cold, I don't know if it's
just sinus. It just it doesn't sound right, it doesn't
sound right. And when that happens with the kids, I
(07:14):
become like mister, like, put a half mad suit on me,
lock me in isolation. I don't want to get sick
because when I get sick, you know, I I stubbed
my toe. It's like I broke all my all my
toes on each foot. So I'm a little over dramatic.
And I'm going to share a story coming out about
Nemo who was a little over dramatic, and I'll share
(07:36):
that soon. But yeah, so I don't want to get sick.
I just don't like it. It screws then with my sugars.
And last time I was really sick, I ended up
in the hospital. So I just don't want any of it.
I don't want any of it. But I'm going to
get sick, and I'm going to tell you why. So
my daughter was drinking water and my son must have,
oh not must have, but he did. He told one
(07:56):
of these great jokes, you know, one of those jokes
where you laugh out loud and my daughter and I
kid you not, I was right next door. She laughed
and her water went splashing out her mouth like that,
right all over my glasses, and I had my mouth open.
So yeah, yeah, so I am going to get sick,
(08:20):
which is great. No, no, no clapping on that. Yeah.
So it's one of those things where you know, yeah
she laughed, she spit her water out and went in
my glasses, in my mouth, and so whatever she has
is going to now probably uh, you know, affect being
(08:41):
And I know my wife she's not feeling great either.
So you know, with my wife not feeling great, I
you know, I'm like, oh, she she'd even you know,
laugh for water into her mouth. So I don't know.
Oh my god, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. When
(09:02):
I was growing up as a kid, we used to
have family campounds and a lot of time that happened
when we were sick, you know, just to make you
feel good, right, And what we did is not all
the time. There was some time we just had a
family campout. So growing up, my dad with my mom
gonuld bring down the beds from the bedroom. We would
lay in the living room and have a big camp
out as a family. It was so much fun, so
(09:23):
much fun. And that is exactly what's happening. You know. Now.
I have taken the the family camp out theme, right,
the family camp out theme, and we use it. We
use it. So what we do is we bring my
daughter's bed into the bedroom and we have a family
(09:45):
camp out. You know. We sleep in the bed, the
kids have, you know, their beds in the room. The
cats are usually in the room. So it's one big,
happy family. It's one big, happy family, and it's a
lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. It's like
a camp out. We know, we're not roasting marshmallows. We're
just you know, maybe the TV's on, maybe it's not
what we're going to bed. Everybody's in the same room
and it makes me have the best sleep of her
(10:05):
because it's the family and the love and everything like that.
So and I always say camp out and it makes
it seem like a roast and marshmallows telling ghost stories,
and that's not true. We're just all in the same
room after a fun day, you know. And it's a
tradition that I had a growing up that we have
carried over and it's been great and I absolutely, I
(10:27):
absolutely love it. And you know, speaking of tradition, and
my great grandma Gigi was a humongous Cups fan. She
loved two major things. She loved everything, but she loved
three major things. She loved to cook and her food
was Mayzine. Her gravy was so good. And also she
(10:50):
like Wayne Newton and she also liked the Chicago Cubs.
Every time we would go to my grandma, great grandma's place,
you live with my grandma and grandpa, you go to
her little apartment downstairs that she had, and the Cubs
were always on the TV. So I grew up on
the South Side at Chicago, and I have been a
(11:11):
beloved White Sox fan for many years. And last year
I was like, you know what, fuck it, fuck it all.
Because the reason why I said that was I seen
how Jerry Ryinsdorff was running the baseball team and I
kind of did not like it. I didn't like it.
I didn't like the feeling he was giving off. I
just did not like it. I did not like it.
(11:33):
So I was like, you know what, I'm gonna start
watching some more of the Cubs. And now I like
the White Sox and I like the Cubs. And I know,
in some folks that's very sacrilegious what I've done. Sarah
Jindra of you know WGN, she does it. She says,
you know, she watches both. I believe she says that,
you know why, can't both teams wins. That's a shirt
she got one year. So yeah, I like both teams.
(11:56):
I do, I really do. And I know probably some
of my family wanted to sell me, but that's okay.
And I know there are some that are watching the
Cubs in the playoffs and they're rooting against them because
they're a white Sox fan, And that's okay too. You
can do whatever you want. You want to like both teams,
you want to like one team, you want to root
(12:17):
against the other team. You can do whatever you want.
This is America, baby, do whatever you want. So I
posted a quick video on TikTok about the Cubs and
who I felt was gonna get home run my big
gut pick at the daylight Frank and TikTok, and I
got a lot of Cubs, of a lot of Brewers
fans in my inbox, like seventeen comments from Brewers fans
(12:40):
telling me how much the Cubs stink, which they didn't
have a very good first playoff game. So I'm open.
When this thing drops, it is much much much better.
But yeah, and you know, I've already been on the bandwagon.
I know it seems like I jumped on the bandwagon,
but I think I would jump down the bandwagon last
year and I'm over. I'm making the I'm on the bandwagon.
(13:02):
Like I'm like, you know, I'm just do do do
do do shake in my head all right, Uh but no,
I'm so yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited for the cops.
I'm hoping that you know, uh when, like I said,
when this drops, it'll be uh, you know, very good
and they'll be headed into it. Uh probably what would
that be? Game three or four? So I'm hoping. I'm
(13:27):
hoping it gets better. But speaking are really good and
I'm not ashamed to a minute. I love all types
of music that Taylor Swift down and fuck is good. Jesus,
that girl can write a lyric, she can write a chorus.
Those songs are catchy on her. They are very very,
(13:47):
very very catchy. But fuck they made me blush too.
That song about Travis Kelcey, the song called Wood, left
me walking away blushed face, rosy red cheeks and wondering
how exactly big is that She's describing it as a
redwood And there's means going on. You know, I'm here
(14:12):
on the daily life of Frank. I'm here to ask
the the trivial questions, the important questions. Travis, Well, we
sporting and if you're at Humbles, I'm not curious about
the fuck fuck off you are? You are too. You
know it's catchy, all right, the song's catchy. Now we're
(14:32):
all wondering the follow up. We did a follow up song.
You know. There he was with six foot five. That's
only not the thing he has in height. He's also
blah blah blah. The guys say a song see oh yeah.
But yeah, So if you're if your kids are listening
(14:53):
to you may want to get the the the not,
the unedited, the not edit, they edited. I try to say,
the edited version. She still got me all like all
over the place. She wanted to get that edited version,
the edited version. You're gonna have to get it out.
You're gonna have to get it because there's some nasty
I think there's only like twelve songs on the album.
(15:14):
There's only four, only four with twelve songs on the
album that has on you know, clean lyrics. But yeah,
I tell you, m M a little dramatic. We had
a little drama, a little drama in the house. So
my wife was sitting next to Nemo. Nemo's opening up
a lot more. He's opening a lot more. He likes
(15:35):
to gip pat, He'll sit next to you. He's opening up.
He's being a little more outgoing. So my wife thought, okay,
I'm gonna show him a video, you know, because Nemo
likes TV. My wife showed him a cat, a cat
video looking out on the the window, and she showed
that video to my my buddy, Nemo, and Nemo had
the most dramatic sad look on his face that I've
(16:01):
And I was like, what, he's so sad And that
wasn't laughing, but I'm like, what, it's another cat? You
have booths And I don't understand it. I don't know,
I don't know. He looked so sad. He was so sad.
It's like we're not we're not getting in that cat. Okay,
(16:22):
we can't get any more cats. If we have to
get more cats, I might have to get a second job.
He's so sad, so sad, hopped off the couch and
walked away. Tell you, and it's probably gonna be mad
at me. So I signed up to volunteer at the
at a local animals shelter. And the one thing that
(16:44):
I signed up to do is called cat vocalization, where
you have a you know, like a constant contact with
a cat that's new because you want them to get
accustomed to you know, people get the costumes into humans.
You want to get them customed to things. So I
know I'm gonna walk home from that shelter, not walk them. Jesus,
(17:06):
I walk them from that shelter. Jesus, I'd be a
lot less fat than I am now. But what it
is is he's gonna smell the other cats, so he's
probably gonna get a little jealous. He may he may not,
He may not want to talk to me ever again,
he may be like, now I'm not talking to you, Dad,
I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking you. Oh, Nemo, nemo, nemo.
(17:31):
I tell you. So, if you want to call the
dad lines, I'm here to help, all right. I'm here
to give you advice. I'm here to have listeners help.
I'm here. If you have a dad joke, I want
to hear it. Anything Dad related, Call the dadlines all right.
At three one two nine, four, five eight seven four
two The three one two nine, four five eight seven
four two. Call the dad lines. Okay, call him. I
(17:54):
want to hear from you. I want to hear from you.
I'll play your voicemail maybe on the air. Well, well
some good time. Halloween is around the corner, just a
little bit under twenty five days away from Halloween, and
I thought I would share a story before we before
we go here, in regards to Halloween, because you know,
(18:18):
I love Halloween. I love fall if it ever decides
to show its fucking face. And Halloween is one of
those times where you could just you know, you could
dress up, you could watch a scary movie, and you
could do this all year if you want. Remember it's America, baby,
do what you want to do. But Halloween is one
(18:38):
of those, you know, times where I really enjoyed. I
think a lot is because my daughter really enjoys the month.
And I remember my first time at house, and that's
probably a different story for a different time with my
great you know, with my grandma now my great grandma,
my grandma. But I do remember this time when I
was working at a radio station, and at the radio
(19:01):
station there was a haunted house. So it was a
customed to obviously go into that place of business. So
it was a car dealership. They may show you a car.
It was an ice cream place. She may try their
latest ice cream creation. In the Haunted House, you would
go in the Haunted house. And I did and that
was my first, no, my second haunted house that I
ever went into. And I went in with a coworker
(19:22):
and we went in and I screamed so much. And
this is not a joke. I screamed so much. They
had a break character and they had to tell me,
you know, it's not real, man. They literally broke character
and tapped me on the shoulder like this, like, hey,
it's not real. No shit, it's not real, all right.
(19:44):
I frightened easily. Oh man, I tell you, I tell you,
I tell you. Well, anyway, I hope you have a
great rest of your week. Look at the Bears are on.
Hopefully the cup will be doing good. Uh, the weather
is gonna get fall like which I'm excited. It's gonna
(20:05):
be fun. It's gonna be fun. Here we go, have
a great rest of your week, everybody, and I will
