Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
My name is Frank and this is the Daily Life
of Frank. Episode three hundred and eight. Three hundred and
eight episodes. This is the Daily Life of Frank, the
podcast about my daily life as being a dad, a husband,
(00:49):
and an average jackass. So hopefully you listen to this
podcast and you walk away saying, either a my life
isn't this bad? Or this is very relatable, or maybe
even both. That's the hope. That's the hope in this
little podcast that I do. I'm gonna tell you something.
(01:15):
My son's gonna be a lawyer. I could just feel it.
I could feel like he's gonna be a lawyer. I
just feel he's gonna be a lawyer. He's gonna be
some kind of negotiator. I've thought for the longest time
he was gonna be some kind of tech with some
kind of lawyer, some kind of you know, just just
something in that kind of field. But he is a
damn negotiator. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Maybe it'll be a swat negotiator. Who knows. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I don't know. I'll tell you why. So it was Monday,
he was laying in bed. He said, I don't want
to go to school. He was putting up a little
bit of a stink. He didn't want to go to school.
He didn't want to go to school. I'm not going
to school. I'm not going. So, you know, it's Monday,
and everybody is, you know, everyone's tired. The whole world
(01:58):
is tired. But just walking away from you know, spring
Ford or fall Back, where the fuck it is fall Back,
I don't know what it is anymore, the daylight saving shit,
and then everybody's tired. But he he, he made a negotiation.
He threw out a ball all the way out there
and left field. He goes, hey, catch this one, bitch,
(02:22):
and uh yeah, and we we jumped on. We jumped on.
We caught that ball. He said, hey, if you bring
me McDonald's to school for lunch, i'll go. So yep,
he got his wish. He's got his McDonald's wish for lunch.
And we said yes, and he hopped out of bed.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And but let me be.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Clear, this was more of a negotiation with my wife
because me, I am you know, as most dads are.
We're we're just like we say yes, so we could
just get by. You know, He's like, hey, I'm gonna
jump off the roof today. It's see if this homemade
jumpsuit works. My wife will be like, no, what the fuck?
You know, no, you're gonna hurt yourself. And I'm like,
(03:07):
I go ahead, do it's fine, figure it out. So
shad he he he might have, you know, he might
have negotiated with my wife, but he may have set
his bar low because he could attend to me. You'd
be like, I wan should bring me a fuck at
steak and Lobster for lunch. He'd be like, all right, sure,
I'll do it. Are you gonna go to school and
not say anything else this morning?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
All right? Perfect?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But I think that's all dads, right, we are all
you know, just you know, well anyway, I don't know.
Maybe it's not all dads, but I know it's me.
It's Monday morning. It's the the you.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Know, the new time change. I'm tired the beers.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You put me on an emotional rollercoaster last week, which
I'll talk about here in a minute, and I was
flatlined because of it. Just kidding, but yeah. So it's
like one of those things where you know, he could
have said anything. I would be like, all right, but
I'll tell you though. He does this in all aspects
of life. It's not just food and negotiating and those
(04:06):
types of things. He does all the time. He is
never wrong. He is nine and he is never wrong.
And he will plead his case till the cows come home.
It's always well but well but well but well but
well but well but well but huh. So he's a
little bit of a talker backer, a little talker back.
(04:27):
He likes to talk back. But that's okay, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Maybe it's not okay. Maybe it's that maybe I'm just tired.
I'm tired right now and I'm taking this podcast on
a Saturday. I'm opening the curtain behind the scenes, and
I'm just tired. It's cloudy, it's rainy, it's gonna become
snowy here in a minute, and I am just tie erd.
(04:55):
So I don't know. He could have asked for the
world that I don't know. Maybe that's that's the thing.
Is like, when he starts pleading his case, I'm like, fuck.
You know, it's like you can feel your blood pressure boiling,
but you're like, whatever, dude, just what I fine? You win,
you win, dude, You win. Congratulations, you win. We got
(05:15):
our talker backer, a negotiator. My daughter, she is ready
for Christmas. She was ready as soon as Halloween ended
at midnight.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
She was ready.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't want a lot for Christmas, Dude, do do
do do do do? She was ready. She was ready
to play Mariah Carey and just go. She was ready
to go. He's ready to go right now, ready to
go right now when it's too early for Christmas. That's
the question I always like to ask. I always feel
like if I decorate her or put up Christmas you know,
(05:49):
decorations outside, or play music or watch movies like I
feel like, then Thanksgiving gets the chef, right Thanksgiving? He's like, eh,
that's second afterthought, and I'd like to celebrate thanksgaming. Obviously
I'm fat, so it's one of my favorite holidays. Obviously,
got to stay away from the pies this year. But
definitely we'll make a room for more turkey. That's carb free, right,
(06:10):
Uh yeah, well no mashed potatoes. Then there's either well
what the fuck I'm gonna be in a lot. We
might we might have to get a big turkey this year,
big ass turkey, big ass turkey. No, but you know,
I understand, and she's excited, and she's just like the
light FM of our house. They play Christmas music, you know,
in the beginning of November. She's ready to do that too.
(06:31):
She's ready to, you know, go out there and put
out our Santa Claus inflatable and rock and roll. But
I did compromise. Maybe I'm the compromiser too. Have I'm
thinking about it because I said November fifteenth, which is
next week, it would be her this weekend or whatnot.
We're gonna watch Home Alone. We always kick off our
Christmas season home alone. I thought the fifteenth is fine, right,
(06:52):
the fifteenth is fine enough. You know, there's a lot
of Christmas movies, so you got to pick your weekends
for your movies. And she's busy, you know, she's in
the play, my son, he's in the choir. They're busy.
They're busy, So let's just start this party early. Let's
start this party early. They were even trying to tell
me they're Christmas gifts and that mayby too early now.
Maybe not because it is already November, but me, I uh,
(07:14):
that's my wife handles all that fun stuff. Because once again,
we wouldn't have a home or a car or anything,
because I would spend all the money because if they
came to me and they're like, well I really want this,
I really want this, I'm like how much it costs?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But it's a thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Like all right, whatever, sure, sure, just put it out
of my debit or whatever the fuck you want to do.
I don't know, but yeah, So we're gearing up. We're gearing
up a little.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Bit of a relief, though a little bit of a relief.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
My fantasy football team we started out five and oh,
and I say week because I feel like all the
players that have contributed, so five and ol gets a
little bit class. And then I went on a little
bit of a losing streak, and I got nervous. I
got nervous. I was like, oh my god, am I
the fantasy football That one team in the NFL that
like does really good And they start out like four
(08:04):
or five, six and oh, and then all of a
sudden they go into a a little bit of a
rut and they lose, and they lose, and they lose
and they lose. Uh, and then they're like before they know,
they're like five and eleven. And I got a little
nervous because this year, this year, this year, we have
a little bit of a punishment, a little bit of
a punishment in the league. And the punishment is we're
(08:25):
going to go, uh to this wrestling organization and you're
going to have to take one of those chess laps
that you see on you know, your wwe Uh. So
I do not want my mood swinging around. I do
not want my move No. Granted it's there's no part
of the clause where you have to take your shirt off. Okay,
(08:47):
all right, okay, we got to be a little bit
more reasonable, you know. But first off, my wife is
the only lady in the league, you know if she loses,
So yeah, you get, you get, you get one of
those chess trusts what they call. I can't think of
it right now, and like I said, I was tired,
so I can't think of what it is. But it's
like one of those chest slaps. You're like woop. So
that's the punishment. That year, we're pretty brutal, don't have
(09:09):
many punishment. Well, we had William Hung from American Idol
sing a song to you if you lost last year,
which that was funny. But this year we said, hell,
let's let's let's make it an actual punishment. So you know,
I have my moves flopping out. I can't have a
delicate chest. I have a I have a delicate chest.
(09:30):
A delicate chest.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I can't, you know, very delicate, very ticklish. I can't
have that happen. I can't have that happen. Speaking of chest.
Oh my god. Now I'm recording this a day before
the Bears played the Giants because I figure, if the
Bears have another game like they had last Sunday, I
might just be dead. I have a better chance eating
(09:53):
a whole fucking cake than watching a game like that. Again,
Holy shit, everybody, Okay, everybody checking in with their cardiologist.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Y'all check in with them. What a fucking game.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They played the Bengals in a back and forth and
then the Bears propelled at the end. But it looked
very familiar of seasons past. So the Chicago Bears were
gonna blow it again on a Hail Mary or whatever
the hell, and not a hail Marry.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's what really scared me. The Hall Mary at the end.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But Joe Flacco doesn't have an arm, so he was
hurt so it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Boom. But yeah, I was nervous, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They came back and back and forth in my heart
and oh my god, I was screaming. I had no
voice for like a week. It was totally insane, totally insane.
One of the best games in the NFL history, I'll say.
And it was on today. It was on the TV,
like of the replay and I'm like, thank god, I
could watch it now and you know, not have a
heart attack.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But it still gave me a little PTSD. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I like, oh, what's that? But yeah, that was so crazy,
so crazy, you know. I think at one point I
might have just died. I might have died in a
flatlined and I came back. I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe I maybe I, you know, did die. And then
my wife was like, dinner's ready, and I'm like, oh,
I'm back up. Maybe that's what happened, but holy crap,
(11:19):
holy crap. And I almost did die this week. I
almost did die this week. Now I'm the only kid.
And that's a dramatic because the last couple of days
I've said, holy shit, I have very high sugars and
I'm like, why do I have high sugars. I'm like,
this is fucking crazy. I don't know where it's coming from.
I don't know where it's coming from. And then I
(11:39):
figure it out. We bought zero sugar Tropical seven up.
All right, we bought zero sugar Tropical seven up from
you know, I'm not even gonna say it. I'm not
because you know what, what if this company wants to
be a sponsor one time, all right, we can't have
him be a sponsor if I'm talking about almost dying,
even though it's over dramatic. So anyway, brought this Tropical
(12:04):
seven up zero sugar, and I was pounding those babies.
Those are good, they're delicious, and a pound of them.
And then one time I sat in the chair and
I was pounding it a little bit and I said,
holy shit, this is not zero sugar. This is actual
sugar in this bitch. So yeah, I know some people are.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Like, well, you needn't notice, you needn't notice. No, not really.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
When the cans are usual, they're kind of the same.
They're kind of the same cans and the same look.
And I figured it was zero sugar, but it was not.
But after that it's fine. You took a glimpse ride
and insulin and all that kind of fun stuff, and
we got that back down. They got back down. We
can't put in fifty seven grams of sugar in this body.
This body don't take sugar anymore. It's like an antique car,
(12:48):
all right, we can't put you know, you can't put
We'll say, it's like a sports car. You can't put
the shitty feel in. You got to put the premium
in this baby, and the premium.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Is zero sugar.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That did not make sense, But I don't care. I
don't care enough. I'm not gonna go back and edit
it even though I don't. I know it doesn't make
any sense. Holy shit, Rome Doonzay's dad be seeing this.
His dad here on ex posting away saying his son
(13:20):
should be traded so he could get the ball more
to him.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
And I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The hell, Oh my god, oh my god, I don't know.
You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna step back. I'm
gonna say two things. Number one, it's nice to see
a dad that loves his son so much and he
(13:45):
wants him to succeed. But with that said, also Roman
Dunzay did a lot, a lot on that game, a
lot of blocking, a lot of just really you know,
stuff that maybe not doesn't get noticed, but coggle Bear's
X handle. They made sure they noticed and let everybody
else notice because kind of a you know, not a
(14:08):
direct but an indirect kind of back to Roma Dunza's dad,
they posted a like a video clage of the game
of Rome blocking and stuff in The video was titled selfless.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Adam Rank one of the greatest NFL you know, reporters, podcasters.
He posed the question to the extent of, you know,
how do we feel about that? And I chimed in,
and I don't know how to feel. I said, when
I was playing baseball, my dad coached me. I bad
at thirteenth and played the right field. So I have
no room to talk on this one. I can't give
(14:49):
it advice. I wasn't a starter. Well I was, but
I wasn't really I beat at thirteenth. You know, you
ever have that in the little league when you played,
when you first started out, you know, everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Bad and everybody bad. Everybody played okay, everybody bad, and
everybody played. You played right field. Maybe you weren't the
greatest fielder.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You know that at that age, nobody was like, you know,
fucking Moises Salu pulling the ball out there. I said,
Moyes Lu because I just watched the Expos documentary, which
was really really good, and don't get me on all
about that, because I could host the whole podcast about
that documentary. But yeah, you know, but he did, I
will say, to his credit, wanted to give me the
(15:28):
opportunity to play third base. He's like, you know what,
I'm gonna have you play third. So we're on the bench,
our team is batting. He looks at me and he goes, hey,
you're a third next inning. And I said, what the
fuck are you talking about? What does that mean? What
do you mean third? Like you mean right field?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
He goes, no, you're playing third next thing. I said, no,
I'm not playing third. I refuse to I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
He's like, no, You're playing third next city. And then
all of a sudden, as God intervened, which was you know,
prayers do get answered. Prayers do get answered. Because I said, God,
anything anything right now that I don't have to go
out there and play third base tonight. Please, please, and
then lightning thunder and the game was called and I
(16:12):
never had that opportunity again. So uh, thank you lord,
thank you lord. Oh that would have been a fucking nightmare.
It would have been like Chuck Knoblock in his later
days throwing the ball into the crowd, a fucking probably
hit somebody's mom in the fucking forehead with my toss.
It would have been bad. It would have been bad.
(16:32):
I think we were winning big though. I think it
was a big like we had a lead. So that's
when you start, you know, you know, I'm surprised he
didn't want me to pitch or something.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You know, we had that big of a lead. But
I'll tell you, God, God, God God, I hit mut
to my mic I was very animated with my hands there.
You can't see it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Thinking about doing video, but like I'm worried that I'm
gonna like the shit I'm gonna do for the video
is like my hands are very animated, Like just hit
my microphone and it went off.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And it's like, what what did I do?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm gonna tell you something as of right now is
recording ESPN and YouTube TV need to get their shit together.
This is going on two weeks. Now, it's two weeks.
I'm gonna pull up my dad card here. You're both grounded.
You both go to your rooms until you figure it out.
You're both grounded. You're both grounded. ESPN YouTube can't watch anything,
(17:29):
can't watch well, I could watch stuff, but I don't
really watch college football. But the point is I want
to watch college football. I want to watch Monday night football.
I want to watch hockey on ESPN. But these two
are in a war, a turf war, back and forth.
It's like fucking West Side Story.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
We ah the YouTube.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We are the YouTube, clicking their fucking thumbs and snapping away.
All right, come on, guys, get it together, get it together.
Then ESPN's like, hey, well, you could, you know, buy
our app for three I'm not paying another fucking single
cent on a streaming service.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The fuck I'm not. You know how much money streaming
services cost. Everything's a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I can't even watch the White Sox or the Cubs
or any of those teams because they're on a streaming service.
Everybody's on a streaming service. I'm not doing it. I'm
not paying extra money. I'm not paying a thirty dollars
a month. I'm not going to. I'm not going to.
I'm not gonna pay thirty dollars a month. I know
the WWE's on there, and I love the ww pay
per views, but I'm not paying another thirty dollars a
(18:29):
month with ESPN.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So please get it together with YouTube TV. I'm not
I'm about to cancel YouTube I.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Was so aggravated, and I'm still aggravated like most people
that I'm thinking of how I can get rid of
every streaming service I have, And they're like, no, calm down,
calm down, all right, how are.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You gonna watch your expost documentaries? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So I calm down, But I'm like, shit, the only
thing I watch really on TV is sports and that's it.
And I don't watch really anything during the week, but
I'm either on Netflix or I'm on a documentary or
it's our TV show, which is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
On YouTube TV. I know.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now now I'm thinking about we do watch TV, don't we,
son of a bitch? Why is Abbott elementary so good?
Damn it? Damn it? No.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But like.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know, and they go back and forth. YouTube TV
is like, well, you know, it's ESPN's fault. And ESPN's like, no,
it's YouTube TV's fault. It's like, it's pot of your
fucking faults. Get your shit together. I'm not fucking paying
thirty dollars a month for ESPN plus and I'm about
not to pay one hundred dollars a month for YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's a that's a little bit of a that's.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
A minimal threat there, because the Bears and they know
they still have you know, they're on Fox or now.
I they if YouTube TV started canceling Fox and CBS,
fuck that noise, I'd be done. I'd be done. Well, everyone,
I hope you have a great week. I hope that
YouTube TV and ESPN and the time of this release
(19:59):
they're back to together and they're friends and they're on
that channel. I don't know, it may not happen, who knows,
but have a great week now. I'm gonna put a
little bit of fair into you because next week, you know,
next week's pod is this is gonna air. Of course,
if we're looking on the calendar, you know the ninth
is Sunday tenth, eleventh, twelve, and then then the following
(20:21):
week is going to be the nineteenth, and we are
going to be like a week or what is it?
When is Thanksgiving? They're gonna be like a week out.
Good gravy, ooh gravy is that is great?
Speaker 1 (20:35):

eight episodes. This is the Daily Life of Frank, the
podcast about my daily life as being a dad, a husband,
(00:49):
and an average jackass. So hopefully you listen to this
podcast and you walk away saying, either a my life
isn't this bad? Or this is very relatable, or maybe
even both. That's the hope. That's the hope in this
little podcast that I do. I'm gonna tell you something.
(01:15):
My son's gonna be a lawyer. I could just feel it.
I could feel like he's gonna be a lawyer. I
just feel he's gonna be a lawyer. He's gonna be
some kind of negotiator. I've thought for the longest time
he was gonna be some kind of tech with some
kind of lawyer, some kind of you know, just just
something in that kind of field. But he is a
damn negotiator. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Maybe it'll be a swat negotiator. Who knows. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I don't know. I'll tell you why. So it was Monday,
he was laying in bed. He said, I don't want
to go to school. He was putting up a little
bit of a stink. He didn't want to go to school.
He didn't want to go to school. I'm not going
to school. I'm not going. So, you know, it's Monday,
and everybody is, you know, everyone's tired. The whole world
(01:58):
is tired. But just walking away from you know, spring
Ford or fall Back, where the fuck it is fall Back,
I don't know what it is anymore, the daylight saving shit,
and then everybody's tired. But he he, he made a negotiation.
He threw out a ball all the way out there
and left field. He goes, hey, catch this one, bitch,
(02:22):
and uh yeah, and we we jumped on. We jumped on.
We caught that ball. He said, hey, if you bring
me McDonald's to school for lunch, i'll go. So yep,
he got his wish. He's got his McDonald's wish for lunch.
And we said yes, and he hopped out of bed.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And but let me be.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Clear, this was more of a negotiation with my wife
because me, I am you know, as most dads are.
We're we're just like we say yes, so we could
just get by. You know, He's like, hey, I'm gonna
jump off the roof today. It's see if this homemade
jumpsuit works. My wife will be like, no, what the fuck?
You know, no, you're gonna hurt yourself. And I'm like,
(03:07):
I go ahead, do it's fine, figure it out. So
shad he he he might have, you know, he might
have negotiated with my wife, but he may have set
his bar low because he could attend to me. You'd
be like, I wan should bring me a fuck at
steak and Lobster for lunch. He'd be like, all right, sure,
I'll do it. Are you gonna go to school and
not say anything else this morning?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
All right? Perfect?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But I think that's all dads, right, we are all
you know, just you know, well anyway, I don't know.
Maybe it's not all dads, but I know it's me.
It's Monday morning. It's the the you.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Know, the new time change. I'm tired the beers.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You put me on an emotional rollercoaster last week, which
I'll talk about here in a minute, and I was
flatlined because of it. Just kidding, but yeah. So it's
like one of those things where you know, he could
have said anything. I would be like, all right, but
I'll tell you though. He does this in all aspects
of life. It's not just food and negotiating and those
(04:06):
types of things. He does all the time. He is
never wrong. He is nine and he is never wrong.
And he will plead his case till the cows come home.
It's always well but well but well but well but
well but well but well but huh. So he's a
little bit of a talker backer, a little talker back.
(04:27):
He likes to talk back. But that's okay, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Maybe it's not okay. Maybe it's that maybe I'm just tired.
I'm tired right now and I'm taking this podcast on
a Saturday. I'm opening the curtain behind the scenes, and
I'm just tired. It's cloudy, it's rainy, it's gonna become
snowy here in a minute, and I am just tie erd.
(04:55):
So I don't know. He could have asked for the
world that I don't know. Maybe that's that's the thing.
Is like, when he starts pleading his case, I'm like, fuck.
You know, it's like you can feel your blood pressure boiling,
but you're like, whatever, dude, just what I fine? You win,
you win, dude, You win. Congratulations, you win. We got
(05:15):
our talker backer, a negotiator. My daughter, she is ready
for Christmas. She was ready as soon as Halloween ended
at midnight.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
She was ready.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't want a lot for Christmas, Dude, do do
do do do do? She was ready. She was ready
to play Mariah Carey and just go. She was ready
to go. He's ready to go right now, ready to
go right now when it's too early for Christmas. That's
the question I always like to ask. I always feel
like if I decorate her or put up Christmas you know,
(05:49):
decorations outside, or play music or watch movies like I
feel like, then Thanksgiving gets the chef, right Thanksgiving? He's like, eh,
that's second afterthought, and I'd like to celebrate thanksgaming. Obviously
I'm fat, so it's one of my favorite holidays. Obviously,
got to stay away from the pies this year. But
definitely we'll make a room for more turkey. That's carb free, right,
(06:10):
Uh yeah, well no mashed potatoes. Then there's either well
what the fuck I'm gonna be in a lot. We
might we might have to get a big turkey this year,
big ass turkey, big ass turkey. No, but you know,
I understand, and she's excited, and she's just like the
light FM of our house. They play Christmas music, you know,
in the beginning of November. She's ready to do that too.
(06:31):
She's ready to, you know, go out there and put
out our Santa Claus inflatable and rock and roll. But
I did compromise. Maybe I'm the compromiser too. Have I'm
thinking about it because I said November fifteenth, which is
next week, it would be her this weekend or whatnot.
We're gonna watch Home Alone. We always kick off our
Christmas season home alone. I thought the fifteenth is fine, right,
(06:52):
the fifteenth is fine enough. You know, there's a lot
of Christmas movies, so you got to pick your weekends
for your movies. And she's busy, you know, she's in
the play, my son, he's in the choir. They're busy.
They're busy, So let's just start this party early. Let's
start this party early. They were even trying to tell
me they're Christmas gifts and that mayby too early now.
Maybe not because it is already November, but me, I uh,
(07:14):
that's my wife handles all that fun stuff. Because once again,
we wouldn't have a home or a car or anything,
because I would spend all the money because if they
came to me and they're like, well I really want this,
I really want this, I'm like how much it costs?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But it's a thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Like all right, whatever, sure, sure, just put it out
of my debit or whatever the fuck you want to do.
I don't know, but yeah, So we're gearing up. We're gearing
up a little.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Bit of a relief, though a little bit of a relief.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
My fantasy football team we started out five and oh,
and I say week because I feel like all the
players that have contributed, so five and ol gets a
little bit class. And then I went on a little
bit of a losing streak, and I got nervous. I
got nervous. I was like, oh my god, am I
the fantasy football That one team in the NFL that
like does really good And they start out like four
(08:04):
or five, six and oh, and then all of a
sudden they go into a a little bit of a
rut and they lose, and they lose, and they lose
and they lose. Uh, and then they're like before they know,
they're like five and eleven. And I got a little
nervous because this year, this year, this year, we have
a little bit of a punishment, a little bit of
a punishment in the league. And the punishment is we're
(08:25):
going to go, uh to this wrestling organization and you're
going to have to take one of those chess laps
that you see on you know, your wwe Uh. So
I do not want my mood swinging around. I do
not want my move No. Granted it's there's no part
of the clause where you have to take your shirt off. Okay,
(08:47):
all right, okay, we got to be a little bit
more reasonable, you know. But first off, my wife is
the only lady in the league, you know if she loses,
So yeah, you get, you get, you get one of
those chess trusts what they call. I can't think of
it right now, and like I said, I was tired,
so I can't think of what it is. But it's
like one of those chest slaps. You're like woop. So
that's the punishment. That year, we're pretty brutal, don't have
(09:09):
many punishment. Well, we had William Hung from American Idol
sing a song to you if you lost last year,
which that was funny. But this year we said, hell,
let's let's let's make it an actual punishment. So you know,
I have my moves flopping out. I can't have a
delicate chest. I have a I have a delicate chest.
(09:30):
A delicate chest.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I can't, you know, very delicate, very ticklish. I can't
have that happen. I can't have that happen. Speaking of chest.
Oh my god. Now I'm recording this a day before
the Bears played the Giants because I figure, if the
Bears have another game like they had last Sunday, I
might just be dead. I have a better chance eating
(09:53):
a whole fucking cake than watching a game like that. Again,
Holy shit, everybody, Okay, everybody checking in with their cardiologist.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Y'all check in with them. What a fucking game.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They played the Bengals in a back and forth and
then the Bears propelled at the end. But it looked
very familiar of seasons past. So the Chicago Bears were
gonna blow it again on a Hail Mary or whatever
the hell, and not a hail Marry.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's what really scared me. The Hall Mary at the end.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But Joe Flacco doesn't have an arm, so he was
hurt so it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Boom. But yeah, I was nervous, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They came back and back and forth in my heart
and oh my god, I was screaming. I had no
voice for like a week. It was totally insane, totally insane.
One of the best games in the NFL history, I'll say.
And it was on today. It was on the TV,
like of the replay and I'm like, thank god, I
could watch it now and you know, not have a
heart attack.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But it still gave me a little PTSD. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I like, oh, what's that? But yeah, that was so crazy,
so crazy, you know. I think at one point I
might have just died. I might have died in a
flatlined and I came back. I don't know. I don't know.
Maybe I maybe I, you know, did die. And then
my wife was like, dinner's ready, and I'm like, oh,
I'm back up. Maybe that's what happened, but holy crap,
(11:19):
holy crap. And I almost did die this week. I
almost did die this week. Now I'm the only kid.
And that's a dramatic because the last couple of days
I've said, holy shit, I have very high sugars and
I'm like, why do I have high sugars. I'm like,
this is fucking crazy. I don't know where it's coming from.
I don't know where it's coming from. And then I
(11:39):
figure it out. We bought zero sugar Tropical seven up.
All right, we bought zero sugar Tropical seven up from
you know, I'm not even gonna say it. I'm not
because you know what, what if this company wants to
be a sponsor one time, all right, we can't have
him be a sponsor if I'm talking about almost dying,
even though it's over dramatic. So anyway, brought this Tropical
(12:04):
seven up zero sugar, and I was pounding those babies.
Those are good, they're delicious, and a pound of them.
And then one time I sat in the chair and
I was pounding it a little bit and I said,
holy shit, this is not zero sugar. This is actual
sugar in this bitch. So yeah, I know some people are.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Like, well, you needn't notice, you needn't notice. No, not really.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
When the cans are usual, they're kind of the same.
They're kind of the same cans and the same look.
And I figured it was zero sugar, but it was not.
But after that it's fine. You took a glimpse ride
and insulin and all that kind of fun stuff, and
we got that back down. They got back down. We
can't put in fifty seven grams of sugar in this body.
This body don't take sugar anymore. It's like an antique car,
(12:48):
all right, we can't put you know, you can't put
We'll say, it's like a sports car. You can't put
the shitty feel in. You got to put the premium
in this baby, and the premium.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Is zero sugar.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That did not make sense, But I don't care. I
don't care enough. I'm not gonna go back and edit
it even though I don't. I know it doesn't make
any sense. Holy shit, Rome Doonzay's dad be seeing this.
His dad here on ex posting away saying his son
(13:20):
should be traded so he could get the ball more
to him.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
And I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The hell, Oh my god, oh my god, I don't know.
You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna step back. I'm
gonna say two things. Number one, it's nice to see
a dad that loves his son so much and he
(13:45):
wants him to succeed. But with that said, also Roman
Dunzay did a lot, a lot on that game, a
lot of blocking, a lot of just really you know,
stuff that maybe not doesn't get noticed, but coggle Bear's
X handle. They made sure they noticed and let everybody
else notice because kind of a you know, not a
(14:08):
direct but an indirect kind of back to Roma Dunza's dad,
they posted a like a video clage of the game
of Rome blocking and stuff in The video was titled selfless.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Adam Rank one of the greatest NFL you know, reporters, podcasters.
He posed the question to the extent of, you know,
how do we feel about that? And I chimed in,
and I don't know how to feel. I said, when
I was playing baseball, my dad coached me. I bad
at thirteenth and played the right field. So I have
no room to talk on this one. I can't give
(14:49):
it advice. I wasn't a starter. Well I was, but
I wasn't really I beat at thirteenth. You know, you
ever have that in the little league when you played,
when you first started out, you know, everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Bad and everybody bad. Everybody played okay, everybody bad, and
everybody played. You played right field. Maybe you weren't the
greatest fielder.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You know that at that age, nobody was like, you know,
fucking Moises Salu pulling the ball out there. I said,
Moyes Lu because I just watched the Expos documentary, which
was really really good, and don't get me on all
about that, because I could host the whole podcast about
that documentary. But yeah, you know, but he did, I
will say, to his credit, wanted to give me the
(15:28):
opportunity to play third base. He's like, you know what,
I'm gonna have you play third. So we're on the bench,
our team is batting. He looks at me and he goes, hey,
you're a third next inning. And I said, what the
fuck are you talking about? What does that mean? What
do you mean third? Like you mean right field?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
He goes, no, you're playing third next thing. I said, no,
I'm not playing third. I refuse to I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
He's like, no, You're playing third next city. And then
all of a sudden, as God intervened, which was you know,
prayers do get answered. Prayers do get answered. Because I said, God,
anything anything right now that I don't have to go
out there and play third base tonight. Please, please, and
then lightning thunder and the game was called and I
(16:12):
never had that opportunity again. So uh, thank you lord,
thank you lord. Oh that would have been a fucking nightmare.
It would have been like Chuck Knoblock in his later
days throwing the ball into the crowd, a fucking probably
hit somebody's mom in the fucking forehead with my toss.
It would have been bad. It would have been bad.
(16:32):
I think we were winning big though. I think it
was a big like we had a lead. So that's
when you start, you know, you know, I'm surprised he
didn't want me to pitch or something.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You know, we had that big of a lead. But
I'll tell you, God, God, God God, I hit mut
to my mic I was very animated with my hands there.
You can't see it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Thinking about doing video, but like I'm worried that I'm
gonna like the shit I'm gonna do for the video
is like my hands are very animated, Like just hit
my microphone and it went off.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And it's like, what what did I do?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm gonna tell you something as of right now is
recording ESPN and YouTube TV need to get their shit together.
This is going on two weeks. Now, it's two weeks.
I'm gonna pull up my dad card here. You're both grounded.
You both go to your rooms until you figure it out.
You're both grounded. You're both grounded. ESPN YouTube can't watch anything,
(17:29):
can't watch well, I could watch stuff, but I don't
really watch college football. But the point is I want
to watch college football. I want to watch Monday night football.
I want to watch hockey on ESPN. But these two
are in a war, a turf war, back and forth.
It's like fucking West Side Story.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
We ah the YouTube.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We are the YouTube, clicking their fucking thumbs and snapping away.
All right, come on, guys, get it together, get it together.
Then ESPN's like, hey, well, you could, you know, buy
our app for three I'm not paying another fucking single
cent on a streaming service.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The fuck I'm not. You know how much money streaming
services cost. Everything's a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I can't even watch the White Sox or the Cubs
or any of those teams because they're on a streaming service.
Everybody's on a streaming service. I'm not doing it. I'm
not paying extra money. I'm not paying a thirty dollars
a month. I'm not going to. I'm not going to.
I'm not gonna pay thirty dollars a month. I know
the WWE's on there, and I love the ww pay
per views, but I'm not paying another thirty dollars a
(18:29):
month with ESPN.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So please get it together with YouTube TV. I'm not
I'm about to cancel YouTube I.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Was so aggravated, and I'm still aggravated like most people
that I'm thinking of how I can get rid of
every streaming service I have, And they're like, no, calm down,
calm down, all right, how are.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You gonna watch your expost documentaries? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
So I calm down, But I'm like, shit, the only
thing I watch really on TV is sports and that's it.
And I don't watch really anything during the week, but
I'm either on Netflix or I'm on a documentary or
it's our TV show, which is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
On YouTube TV. I know.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now now I'm thinking about we do watch TV, don't we,
son of a bitch? Why is Abbott elementary so good?
Damn it? Damn it? No.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But like.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know, and they go back and forth. YouTube TV
is like, well, you know, it's ESPN's fault. And ESPN's like, no,
it's YouTube TV's fault. It's like, it's pot of your
fucking faults. Get your shit together. I'm not fucking paying
thirty dollars a month for ESPN plus and I'm about
not to pay one hundred dollars a month for YouTube TV.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's a that's a little bit of a that's.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
A minimal threat there, because the Bears and they know
they still have you know, they're on Fox or now.
I they if YouTube TV started canceling Fox and CBS,
fuck that noise, I'd be done. I'd be done. Well, everyone,
I hope you have a great week. I hope that
YouTube TV and ESPN and the time of this release
(19:59):
they're back to together and they're friends and they're on
that channel. I don't know, it may not happen, who knows,
but have a great week now. I'm gonna put a
little bit of fair into you because next week, you know,
next week's pod is this is gonna air. Of course,
if we're looking on the calendar, you know the ninth
is Sunday tenth, eleventh, twelve, and then then the following
(20:21):
week is going to be the nineteenth, and we are
going to be like a week or what is it?
When is Thanksgiving? They're gonna be like a week out.
Good gravy, ooh gravy is that is great?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
We have carbs. I don't know. We'll figure it out,
all right. Have a great, great rest of your.
