I started a new sugar-control med and—surprise!—I got every side effect, even the rare 1% ones. Brewers fans came for me on TikTok like I insulted their cheese curds. And speaking of mouthy behavior… Nemo’s been chirping nonstop, which might explain why Moose went full Wile E. Coyote trying to finish him off. It’s chaos, it’s relatable, it’s my life.

I said, I hope real life, real Frank, welcome on
in on new medication. Yes, I'm on new medication. New

(01:55):
medication is what I'm on. I was trying to be cool.
I was trying to have that fade out, but it's
just took too long, too fucking log. It was really
fucking log. I was like, okay, fade out, fade out,
fade out, fade out, fade out, fade out, and no,
uh yeah, so uh this is episode three oh five.
It is a week away from Halloween Special number eight,

(02:20):
the Pudge Purge. I'm excited for that coming up. And
I said I was on new medication. I am so uh,
ladies and gentlemen, I'm off of like, uh insulin three
times a day.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I know, isn't that great? Six months?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Uh you know, after getting out of the hospital, I'm
off of insulin. I do take the long you know,
long lasting insulin at night. But I'm on new medication.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And it was.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Very similar, really weird, very similar, uh like very similar
side effects like ozempic.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
If you've ever been on ozempics, you.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Know the nausea, the heartburn, and the anxiety, which is
weird because like anxiety is like I don't even know
if if this medication, if it's true. But ozempic was
like point zero percent anxiety you can get and I
get it. I get all the weird side effects, all
the side effects that are like one percent nobody gets.

(03:22):
Like they do a study out of one hundred people
and one person got it. That's me who gets it.
So a little bit of a rough patch just for
a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I take it daily and it was just some heartburn, some.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Not bloatedness for some for some whatever reason, it was unbloating,
but you know, heartburn, little nausea, anxiousness was escalated. But
I feel a lot better now. But I always get
that one percent, always one percent. I mean, it could
be weird. It could be like You'll grow here on
your toe, your your right toe, and I'd be like,
oh my god, I got here on my toe.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Look at that. Ally, shit, it really happened.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
You know. You'll take this medification and you'll you'll become
the wicked witch of the West, you know, for for
a day. And also I'm like, I got you my
pretty like you know, shit like that, Like I get
all the weird shit.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
You know, I didn't cover this last week. I didn't
cover this last week, and I have to cover right now.
Why were Milwaukee Brewers fans so mean to me on TikTok?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I could be petty, I could cut the fucking vibes
off right now, the good vibes, and you know, let
them know they just got swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dodgers,
that's why the Dodgers up. No, sorry, huh uh. And
you know a Tani hit one out of the stadium.
I could talk about that. We're not gonna talk about that,
all right, Okay. I think they got a total of

(04:48):
honey runs in that series. The Brewers was a three
runs three runs only. Oh yeah, I'm not gonna talk
about it. I'm gonna keep the vibes going, the good vibes.
I love the city of Milwaukee, I do. It was
a public market that's really awesome. The uh you know
where the Bucks play, that's really cool. So they were
coming at me, you know with the co it's posted
one thing it said go Cubs go when they were

(05:10):
playing the Cubs, and I just got some backlash, like
they lost and they It was just I almost needed
to like call my therapist up and be like, okay,
we got to start our sessions again.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
She's like what.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'm like, Yeah, the fucking Brewer fans ah man, But
I don't know. It's much love. I love Milwaukee. I
love Milwaukee. But they were vicious. They were vicious. They
were vicious of course, and my awesome satireself. I responded

(05:41):
to every comment that I got. Yes, I did every comment,
every comment. You know. I don't talk much, you know,
and I don't cover this much. But sometimes when I do,
you know, like to kind of really discuss it. My daughter,

(06:05):
as we all know, is on the spectrum. Okay, she
has autism. I know for a fact I could.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't win a lot of gambling, but I would
definitely win this one, you know, my JB. Pritzker hair
with my gambling. Okay, I know for a fact that
if I was tested, they would say, you have ADHD,
you have autism of everything, and so I'm undiagnosed. So
I'm sorry, honey, I probably passed it on to you.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
With my geens. The one thing that my daughter looked
forward to in school was the.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Play and she got a part in the play last
year and she was looking forward to it. This year
it was else in Wonderland, and she didn't get apart. Now,
I'm gonna preface this really quick. I don't want my
kids to get any kind of hands outs.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
I have worked my entire life very hard to get
everything in my life right. You know, I have worked
up the ladder of so many shitty jobs to get
a really good job. I you know, found an awesome,
awesome lady that I'm Medalie, still in love with, even

(07:12):
though we're nearing twenty years of marriage.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
You know, there was days where we want to kill
each other.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Still days we want to kill each other. So don't
give them handouts. And I'm not saying that she should have,
you know, got a handout her apart. But there's a
lot to this story. And I know I was going
to say, I said, oh, I'm talking to a deeper
discussion about it. But all I want to address at

(07:42):
this moment, at this moment, because this is being a
continuous interaction, continuous thing is her school has failed her again.
And like I said, you know, jokingly with the RS earlier,
the pettiness of like, Oh, I'm not going to be petty.

(08:06):
I'm not going to call out names. I'm not going
to you know, talk about how, uh, the same school
district broke her spirit so much when she was in
kindergarten that every photo as a kindergartener, by the way,
looked like she was about to cry. And she stopped
going to school for like four years, and that teacher

(08:27):
is still teaching today.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I'm not gonna, you know, go into details any more
details on that. Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
My daughter has worked her fucking ass off to get
where she's at. She has tooken her autism diagnosis, and
she has approached it. She has approached it with such
such uh motivation that it motivates me every day. And
that is why I wear every bracelet that she makes

(08:55):
me when I am at home or when I am out,
I wear it because the reason why I wear it
because I know through all the struggles and everything that
she goes through on a daily basis as an eleven
year old, I know nothing in this world can conquer me.

(09:18):
But they broke her spare it again. They broke her
spait again. They just didn't break it, they crushed it.
And there's absolutely no fucking reason why she didn't get apart,
no reason, no reason, but they.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Broke her spirit. They crushed it. And that right there
breaks my heart. It breaks my heart.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
And I was telling her, you know this morning, uh, hey,
Michael Jordan did not make his basketball team to first
go at it, and he's a goddamn legend. Until my
son chime and he's like, we're Lebron James, Like, get
the fuck out of the ostri grounded, don't just leave
the house. But that was a devastating blow to the

(10:20):
point where it is, I don't know what next week's
gonna bring.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't know if she wants to go back to school.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
And you know, there's some unfairness and some of some
of those things too that have that have happened.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And and and just just a lot.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
And this has been a weekly, uh weekly thing where
the adults are not fucking adults, and uh, my daughter
is a bigger adult than these people. So I'm very
very mad and frustrated and sad and and everything else.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
And uh, you know, I last night, when I.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Was prepping for this podcast, I was like, I am
gonna go scortched earth on these assholes like I'm.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go We're
gonna go crazy, And.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I'm like no, no, no, But I will give this
advice from a dad to that teacher, to the uh
you know, the uh, the the workers at the school,
to the educators so called educators. I'm gonna give you,

(11:25):
dad advice. Learn from what you did and be a
lot fucking better. And the sad thing is, I know
you won't. I know you won't. We gave you the
opportunity when she was in kindergarten and a new school.
There's no opportunity. And you know what, I know how

(11:48):
hard it is for teachers, all right, I know how
hard it is, Okay, but there are a lot of
amazing teachers out there. My mom, she helps out with
the park district. My sister in law helps out with
special needs kids. My cousin in law's wife, she's an
awesome teacher. So there are plenty of awesome teachers out there.

(12:10):
My sister in law, she's an awesome teacher. So be better,
think and be better. But know this, you crushed your spirit.
You broke a special needs a girl's heart because she

(12:31):
loved the play. She was counting it down. Actually, you know,
for some of her rewards at school, it was part
of the play, was encompassed in that. But don't worry.
We'll clean up the mess again. We'll clean up the
mess again that you caused. And when my daughter is

(12:54):
up on stage winning a Tony, you will not get
to thank you. And I'm gonna leave it at this.
Good luck to the kiddos in the play. It's gonna
be fun.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, Alice in Wonderland, have fun. You are all gonna
do great.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
But we are getting to a point where it's getting
very tiresome that my eleven year old daughter who has
autism is a bigger adult than the people who have
quote unquote went to school to be a teacher. Have

(13:40):
a lot more to say, but I'm not going to.
I am going to move on and talk about my cats.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Here we go. Can't talk. The cats are picking their
NFL picks. Yep, Moose, Nemo.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Nemo has a better record, I believe, which is crazy.
And you're like, what the fuck are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
GAT picks?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, go to go to right my TikTok page at
the Daily Life of Frank and Moose. And Nemo pick
the NFL picks. They usually pick them money my football game,
the Bears game. Sometimes at a Sunday night game, they
pick and they pick them. They have two cups and
they you know, they'll go over and they'll go He
would be you know, granted, I probably am going to

(14:26):
have to get a second job, but no, I won't.
I'll have all the money from not giving it to
the school, probab the catnip that has been bought that
they are there's salary.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Contract negotiations are fucking crazy. They're crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
But Nemo, man, I love my guy Nemo, Okay, I do,
but he is fucking mouthy.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
He has mouthy.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I try to pet him. I say, how's your morning.
I have food and I'm just eating like I'm trying
to break it up and cool it down for him.
You know, he wants to share. I'll share with him
and go mouthy.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Holy God, in the morning at five o'clock, that's what
he does.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
The fuck. I don't know why he yells at me.
I give him food. He hasn't messed up by like me.
I think we both have droopy eyes. That's something we
have in common. But I understand why Moose try to
kill him. The other day, Moose try to Wiley coyone
is ass, you know, with the avalanche. He was like,

(15:31):
fucking bugs bunny. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
It was horrible. It was horrible.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
We had a glass cup, one of my best cups
I ever got was from David Busters and I kid
you not, and it was on the dresser and had
water in it. And Moose has been into this thing
lately where he knocks over cups. I don't know what
it is and why he does it, but he knocks
over cups. He like knocking over cups. And he started
knocking over this cup. But then he was like he
looked and he's like, oh, as Nemo was laying right

(15:58):
down on the floor, you know, looking at his big
brother Moose, Moose knocked the cup off. It did not
hit Nemo because Nemo ran like fucking bugs bunny and vanished.
But the cup fell. It didn't break, but water all over.
And this is like at four thirty five in the morning.

a cat and a dog and they got in trouble
by a mom and the cat was yelling and I said,
oh my god, this is hysterical. It's a cat yelling
at her at her mom. This is funny but public.

(16:43):
And it was from Sora. Okay, I think Jake Paul.

the other day. Besides, he's the one who got me
onto this sore. I know my algorithms on Sora because
