Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hello and welcome. My name is Frank and this is
the Daily Life of Frank, a podcast that I talk
about and share with all of you my life, the ups,
the downs, the in betweens, and hopefully by the time
this podcast is over, you can say, man, I relate
to it, or you can say, you know what, my
life isn't that bad either, or it's a win win.
(01:14):
Welcome on in. It is three oh seven the episode,
and I am extremely tired. I'm recording this the day
after Halloween. And no, I'm not hungover. I'm not hungover
because if I ate that much candy, I would be dead.
Maybe a little dramatic, but and it's not alcohol. I
(01:37):
don't drink a lot. I only drink usually if there's
a sporting event on or if it's a nice hot
summer days, that's about it. If I'm out at a restaurant,
that's it. The reason why I feel like i'm hungover
is I am super tired because we had a very
uh well now, a comical night, but it was so chaotic.
(02:01):
It was so chaotic, and I don't know if anybody's
ever experienced this, so I'm guessing. I'm guessing you have,
because it seems to be a common occurrence for a
lot of people. Leg cramps. Right, So I got a
Charlie horse last night. I got a Charlie horse last night,
and I got it at two am. And I usually
get these Charlie horses around around, you know, when I'm sleeping.
(02:23):
That's when they they pop up. So of course it
shoots in my calf and I jump up. I jump
up because I'm in pain, and I'm trying to walk
it out. I'm like, oh, my son thought something was wrong,
and he pops out. He's like, oh my god, oh
my god, my god, man, everything okay, everything okay. So
(02:44):
I scared my son half to death in this process.
In this process, I scared him half to death, and
he probably thought this is another fucking Halloween prank. He'd
been scaring us all day. At two am, you win
and I've ever. First, I'm like no, So then my
wife like it's h Charlie horse. So he went back
to bed. But then the chaos and the chaoticness. You
(03:07):
know that those are two the same things, aren't they?
Is that even a word chaoticness? I don't know whatever.
I don't know. I don't chaoticness, I don't whatever. I
made it up. If it isn't, I can't think. I'm tired.
(03:27):
And then yeah, I just got got crazier. I guess
that we'll just say that it got crazier as the
night went on, because so I popped up, I sat
in my chair. I was acting like a football player
who's playing in ninety five degree weather. He cramps up
because he didn't drink enough gator age and now he
has to sit out and play. And I'm I'm there,
I'm in the chair. And then my wife gets up
(03:49):
to use the bathroom, and then there was this like screech,
like my wife, My poor wife accidentally stepped on moose.
I accidentally stepped on moose. Poor moose, poor wife. I
felt bad for everybody. And he ran out and he
(04:09):
ran off but he's fine, He's okay. He came back
and cuddled with everybody, so he was good. But that happens.
I have the Charlie horse. It was like a fucking
snl skit. It was. It was craziness, craziness. It was
like an snl skit. Oh my god, I laugh at
it now. But you know, I woke up at two
(04:30):
am with a Charlie rts. I didn't go back to
bed at four am. I'm tired. There's not gonna be
enough coffee in this world to get me through right now.
What could you imagine if somebody fast forward to that
part and they're like, is he yawning on his own podcast?
(04:53):
Oh my gosh, my gosh, what a week? What a week?
What a week? I got into my first Twitter or
swore or whatever you want to call it. I don't know.
I usually stay out of people's mean comments on social media.
I just stay out of it. I'm like, why the
fuck am I gonna get into it? But sometimes sometimes
(05:13):
I'm like, I want to say something I don't and
this time I did. I did say something to somebody,
and this is the reasoning. So barstool beef. He passed
away unexpectedly last week and Barstool Beef was one of
the most that I saw, you know, just you could
(05:34):
just feel it through his YouTube videos and his other
social videos and all the content he was creating an
acredble nice person and a cripple human being very respectful.
One of his videos he has that he was out
there every time he met somebody would take off his hat,
like just just a down earth great person and just
(05:56):
reading all his all the tweets from his workers and
and it just it just it warmed my heart. It
just it just it just warmed my heart. And he
was thirty one years old, and it was just a sad,
sad situation. I watched one of the podcasts from Barstool
and they were just talking about, you know, his family,
(06:18):
and it just really like it. It was close to home.
It was close to home. And somebody on Fucking X
had a comment about to the regards of you know,
because Beef was a larger guy, and just had a
comment about being overweight and how that attributed to his
(06:41):
passing and you know, we need to do better because
nobody should be fat in twenty twenty five and and
all this stuff, and I wasn't going to get into it,
and I decided to get into it. And the reason
why I decided to get into it is because I
had that health scare back in April, right the DKA,
and I've turned my life around for the most part.
(07:04):
We got the sugars and control the weight we got
to work on. It's it's all like all that meat,
meat and cheeses. But I am I'm trying try it.
And that's the key thing. When you're overweight and stuff.
Most of the time you're trying. You're trying, You're trying,
and it's not easy. It's not easy, Okay. So I
(07:28):
didn't really appreciate his comment. First, it's an assumption. And second,
because this is where the assumption is. You know, if
I died today, people immediately assumed it was something associated
with my weight, my blood pressure, my cholesterol, something like that.
And that would have still have been set even if
I walked out of my house and got hit by
a truck, which I probably would have done the truck,
(07:49):
but anyway, if I got hit by a truck and
died that way, it would have immediately assume that, oh, well,
I'm a you know, I'm a big guy. So that's
why I died. And I did not appreciate that, did
not appreciate it all. Uh So I snapped back because he
had he was bald, and I just simply stated, which
maybe not have been good vibes, but I simply stated,
(08:11):
you know, there are ways to fix baldness in twenty
twenty five as well. And somebody did not like me
saying that. So they had a comment underneath, and they,
you know, said to me something about it was a
off off pudding. I can go for some pudding, jesus.
(08:35):
I know it was an off remark about being fat
or something whatever. So he took a look at my
profile picture and he said something. So I said, okay,
fuck you, fuck you. You want to say something, then
I'll simply about you. So I went to his profile
page and I saw that it was a fisher. He's
a fisherman, and I said, oh, Jeremy, hopefully the fishing
is treating you well. And that was the end of that.
(08:56):
We haven't we haven't fought back and forth. I really
don't know how anybody could be that rude. I think
we get into this world where there's a lot of
Twitter warriors, a lot of X Warriors, a lot of
Facebook warriors, a lot of keyboard warriors who just like
this Buell spill dispute that the words I don't know,
I'm making up words today, spill the you know, whatever
(09:16):
they want out of their mouth and don't even care,
and then they go on and go. But you know,
if this was in the real world, if you say
shit like that, you're gonna get punch in the fucking face. Okay,
you're gonna get punched in the face if you say
stupid shit on the internet, Like if the internet was
the real world, you're saying that as somebody else, i'm's
gonna punch in the face. And that's just this, And really,
could you blame that person if you're being ignorant? So anyway,
(09:40):
it's over. But you know, I guess at these moments,
I mean, I you know, I reflected back and I
said to myself, Hey, you know, be the better person
next time, Be the the guy that you know keeps
those good vibes flowing. And you know, I give myself
a talking to as a dad. But here's here's a
talk to to everybody. Keep your mouth closed, simple as that.
(10:06):
If somebody passes. Do not assume why they passed. Do
not talk about you know anything, give your respects and
move on. Because if it comes out of your fucking mouth,
and this is how it was tweeted, if it comes
out of your mouth well with all no, with all no,
you know, all due respect, don't don't do never no,
(10:31):
never say with all due respect you no no zip.
Because really, if you tell somebody with all due respect,
the next thing that comes out of your mouth is
probably more than likely close to ninety nine point nine
percent could be fucking stupid. With all due respect, do
not say that. No, no, no. I just tired of people,
(10:55):
really really like there is so much rude, rude people
in this world that like, I don't know, it's over.
It was quick, quick lived, but I got my first,
my first Twitter war. What can I say now? I
don't clap for that. Halloween is over. I dressed up
(11:15):
this year. My kids dressed up. My daughter was the
Nylon Nion Nion not Nion cat, Nion cat. My daughter
was a Nian cat. My son again was a scary clown.
I was dressed as a devil. I don't go all out.
I just put on devil ears. I had a devil
(11:37):
tail and a bow tie kind of like that like
promotional photo in Problem Child, and that was it. That
was it, and we had a good time. It was great.
Kids got loads of candy. So as much as in
this world there is assholes out there, my wife made
a great point, she said, on Halloween, all the people
(11:58):
that you think this world is missing, all the kind hearted,
the nice, the loving people all come out on Halloween.
And it's true because my kids got tons of can't
fucking shitload of candy, shit load of can't, like a
fucking shitload of candy. Like weigh the bags like pounds,
(12:21):
and like you go to the house and like these
these great people weren't even passing out one candy bar.
They're like here, take seven of them. They're like seven
of them. Incredible. So to the neighborhood, you guys, once
again have done an incredible job, and you guys put
the biggest miles on my kids' faces and just so kind.
(12:47):
My son had a little bit of a stomach ache
after he had some candy, and I think I said joking,
joking earlier. I was like, h somebody probably poisoned you.
And that kind of scared him too, So I get
myself a lot of scares and the last night. So
if he's not talking to me today at all, and
I understand it. No, he's like, maybe I was poison
I'm gonna so like this morning he got him be
(13:08):
like I'm gonna investigate. I'm gonna investigate, see which candy
made me, you know, was poisoned? Like, you're not poisoned.
It wasn't poisoned, all right. The cats sniffed the bag out,
they would have found any you know, razor blades or poison.
All right, we trust them. There are are dog sniffing cats,
are bomb sniffing cats, all right. But no, no, no
tax you know this year, no Dad tax can't have
(13:29):
Dad taxes. Nope, can't. I can't maybe a piece, but
I can't have like, you know, the Dad tax Like, hey,
I did, I don't like Twizzlers. Here's a whole pack
of them. I can't do that. I can't do that,
you know at DKA earlier on this year, I can't
be going to Dad taxes. And Halloween was okay because
Halloween hasted, you know, with with the candy and stuff
and there's a lot of sugar free candy and a
lot of zero sugar and all that kind of stuff.
(13:50):
And I was fine. I had some zero sugar hershees,
and I was totally okay. It was totally okay. I
was totally okay, and I was thinking the other holidays
coming up, you know, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving's fine. I may, you know,
dabble into a very sliver piece of pecan pie because
it's my favorite. You know, I won't be probably having
(14:10):
my normal, you know, fifth round of pecan pie for
the seven o'clock football game this year. But that's okay.
It's okay. We can look at sugar free versions and stuff.
What's gonna fuck me up is Christmas because I am
a fucking lover of cookies, like like sugar cookies with
(14:31):
frosting and cute you know, Christmas like decorations on them.
I am a fucking like if I people would think
I'm Santa Claus, they think, are you Santa Claus? That's
how much cookies I eat during Christmas. So I don't
know what's gonna happen. I don't know what's going to happen.
It'll be interesting. I may be back in the hospital.
(14:53):
I'm just kidding. No, I'll be able to control myself.
But I'm like, fuck Christmas, like didn't care about you know,
Halloween too much. Got through the candy stuff. Uh, you know,
we get to Thanksgiving, I'm you know, I'll just sliver
here and there, but most part it's gonna be just
a lot of meat, you know. And then again, wait
a minute, I gotta stay away from potatoes really and stuff.
(15:14):
Fuck fuck, it'll be okay. My cats no Halloween costumes.
They don't like Halloween costumes. Oh, I don't know. We
haven't tried an emil yet. But Moose last year we
tried to put a Halloween costume on. I've never seen
Moose make that face before. It was a face like
I'm gonna bite your fucking brain out if you put
(15:35):
this costume on me. It was like it was like
everything I think even hissed. The moose never hisses. So
we're like, you're not gonna do it this year. So
I said, I have an idea. I'm gonna buy some
you know these like Halloween cat toys or like like
you know, fake squeaky weapon toys, well like blood on.
I'm like, it was you know, Halloween ish, and they
(15:56):
had some catnip at them, and I bought them, and
oh boy, did those cats love that those toys. They
love those toys with the cat dip especially in them.
They love them. Oh my god. They were rolling around
biding them, you know, just having a good time. And
then they were all in their catnip mode. I think
at one time we were all on the cat nip
(16:17):
wink wink. They were rolling on the floor. I was
fucking rolling on the floor. I was doing blurpies for
some reason. I have no idea what I was doing. Blurpies.
That's not even a word either. Fuck today, that's burpies, right.
I don't even fucking know I've done at this podcast.
All right, thanks scrubbing enough kidding brain really, but yeah,
(16:42):
it was. It was. It was a fun time for
all of us as we were all looking at each
other with their eyes wide up and like, hey, hey, hey.
Nemo asked, hey, we have anything to eat. I'm like, yeah,
we do. Let's make ourselves a sandwich. Everybody in the kitchen,
tell ya, tell ya. But speaking of my son, and
and you know, besides, it's given him all the scars
in the world. He did an awesome job last week
(17:05):
he had his first choir concert, and I'm so proud
of him. I am extremely proud of him because my
son is a gamer guy. He's a technology guy, you know,
and we're okay with that, and you know, he he
does want to dabble a little bit in the sports,
but you know, he's found his calling with choir and
(17:25):
potentially the play and I am so excited for him.
I am very excited for him. And because then I thought, too, well,
maybe I'll join it, and then a couple, you know, weeks,
they'll be like, I am I going to do this anymore?
What am I doing? But no, He's stuck through. He
did his choir concert. He was so excited and so happy,
(17:46):
and the feeling, the feeling was the same. I was
so excited for him, so happy. I was just just
just so proud of him, so proud of him. A
superstar up there on stage with people looking at he
was not easy at all. So I was so oh happy,
so proud of them, so proud of them. And you know,
he's going to be a superstar and my daughter is
going to be a superstar. They're both can be superstars.
(18:07):
Hopefully they can be very successful and you know, help
pay daddy and me like by my house and those
kind of things. You know, it'd be great. But you know,
he's on uh, he's on you. You know, he does
some YouTube stuff and he does some other videos and
he does all those kind of things. And he was
excited because there's another kid on there that he that
he talks to h and he's his producer. He's his producer,
(18:28):
and his producer's pretty good. I've seen some of the stuff.
I've heard some of the music. I'm like, geez, Louise,
maybe I need to get a producer for this podcast.
But he was really cute. He said to us, He's like,
you know, the reason why I do it, the reason
why I have like, you know, these videos and have
a producer is because, you know what, I want to
make money for the family too. And I'm like, we cry.
(18:50):
They can't even chocolate. Yeah, so very very.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Just.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's it's when you see those moments, it's com outing
your kids and their kindness shows through those things. You're like,
even at your moments where you're having the worst moment
as a parent, you're like, I'm not that bad because
of those moments where they're my kids are always willing
to help other people willing to you know, just just
(19:19):
not willing but being very respectful and just everything and
even like that I want to make money for the family,
like helpful, Like it really really touches my heart. Alexa Plus.

cool thing. And this is not an ad But if
Amazon wants to pay me, I'm more than happy to
