Welcome on in, this is the daily life of Frank podcast. My name is Frank and this is episode 151. Welcome on in the daily life of Frank. I'm in my pajamas.
I'm comfortable recording this podcast on one of the biggest. If not the biggest, it is the biggest. Knights of the year for wrestling. It's Ressomeya.
So welcome on in. All right. So those that might be new listeners, I want to welcome you. And I want to give you a synopsis of the podcast.
A synopsis. It's nice to be with you from time to time because I tend to forget that. Sometimes people are just jumping on now. And it's good to tell you what the podcast is about.
Because this is me. I'm a good guy, right? I'm a giver. I would hate for you to listen 40 minutes in.
I'd be like, well, fuck. I wasted 40 minutes of my time. Then I'll never get back. And so yeah, if you want to know what the podcast about, here it is.
My name's Frank. I'm an average guy. Just an average guy. I have a wife and two kids.
I've been married. My wife's going to kill me because I can't put the numbers together. 14 years. I have kids.
I have a daughter. Love that little girl to death. She is autistic. She's seven years old.
I have a son. He is four years old. I live in a town home. Not live.
I rent a town home. In the suburbs. I'm from Chicago. I'm from the southwest side, West Lawn Park.
It would be exact. I grew up my whole life until about junior high. And then my parents decided to go to the suburb of Tinley Park. So yeah, I'm just an average guy, an average guy.
And this whole purpose of this podcast is hopefully if you're listening to the podcast, you will find something relatable. Whether it's about kids, whether it's about, I don't know, fighting with your wife or fighting with your husband. Or maybe it's average normal things. I value myself on this podcast.
I'm not a celebrity. I'm not going to have celebrity interviews. Some of those podcasts are great. The armchair, one with the ex-hepper.
That's an awesome podcast. But I can't have Oprah in. I can't afford Oprah and I can't have her in. I'm not even sure if he had Oprah yet.
I'm not sure. But hopefully you'll listen to this and hopefully you'll end it and you'll say, I'm not the only one going through that. Or I'm not the only one doing this. Or oh my God, that happened to me the other day.
So the whole podcast is relatable. It's for you guys. Hopefully we will relate. We can become virtual friends.
I'm an introvert. So I don't know if I'll be able to become an extrovert kind of friend. Like I'm not sure I'm going to meet you up for dinner or something. But we definitely remain virtual friends.
See, there's not a normal thing. I'm an introvert. I'm an introvert. Welcome though to the new listeners.
Thank you for the ones who have been supporting the podcast. Yeah, this is great. This is great. Welcome on in.
Episode 150, one, my son, my son, my son wanted a pet. He has wanted a pet. But like I said, we rent the town home and the renter contract states we can't have pets. Just can't have them.
The intro contract states, no pets, no pets allowed. So basically the only kind of pet you can have is like, you know, of course, the normal thing or the most common thing, a dog, get a cat, get something like that. No, no, that's not it. We're not going to be able to get a dog or cat because we'll break our renter's insurance and then I'll be living on the street.
And then the virtual friendship I thought we were going to have. I'm going to need to be quickly expedited into a personal friendship so I have to move on with you. I'm glad we may be. I'm glad you may be listening.
I may have to move into your house. So my son, he's been collecting worms as pets and if anybody knows anything about me, I hate worms. I hate them to the core. I just don't like them.
I don't like worms. They are slimy. They slimy each other on the ground. I just don't fucking like it.
Another thing you'll notice, I tend to cost a lot. So probably not the best idea if you're new to the podcast to listen to me while you're dropping your kids off a daycare or school because if they're especially young, they're going to learn a lot of language. And I don't want that. I don't want that.
So yeah, the whole thing is he's been collecting worms. I don't like worms. He puts them in a jar. Scared me with them, but he calls him as pets.
So my wife and I said, okay, before he becomes a murderer, you know, that's creepy thing. Collecting worms as pets. I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding.
That creepy is cute. He's four. He loves collecting worms as pets. So we're like, you know what?
Let's buy him some fish. We can have fish. I'm not sure if that's part of the contract, but they're not going to kick us out if we have fish. I hope not.
I hope not. I'll call my previous virtual friend. So all of a sudden, we buy this fish. You know, the fish ain't going to be a pitcher in my head.
Or we've normally had a little bowl, a couple goldfish or beta fish, swims around in there. And it's just perfect. They swim around. They have a good time.
That's it. My wife comes up to me. I'm working and she comes in my office and she says, what if we bought a 20 gallon fish tank? Now, of course, in my head, I'm thinking 20 gallons, like a salt water, a big ass fish tank.
Like I'm going to have a fucking shark swimming around in there with some shit. But actually it was fresh water, no shark, just some fish. But I'm okay with the idea. My wife said, what if I decided to strip on the weekends?
I'd be like, sure, go for it. You make it some money, right? That's good. It's a benefit to all of us.
When I come to purchasing things, I'm easy going. She came to me like, I want to buy myself a Lamborghini. I'm like, oh, fuck it. Who cares?
I don't know where to get the money. Fuck it. Buy it. Okay.
Buy it. Don't care. So we bought this fish tank. We have my wife busted her ass on it, meaning like she bought it at night when the kids were sleeping.
She set it up. She put water in it and all this kind of stuff. So we got this fish. We got some fish.
They're crawling around. Something crazy happened. So we had about, let's say, seven fish, four of them became fish sticks. Dead.
So you think it would be traumatizing for kids, you know. We got all the fish tankers here and then, oh, fuck. They're fisher dead. No, they were okay with that.
But we got some new fish, and you know, I've lost those test ones. Those test runs. It's horrible. I mean, I don't know if it was up with the water or whatever.
It was like a fish. That's it. I think one tried to jump out of the tank, it was craziness. It was chaos.
I was like, the fucking. Purge a fishing. I don't know. So yeah, now we have the fish.
They're in there. We have some we have a one that has like a Mickey Mouse thing on its tail It's really awesome. So I'm really excited. It's peaceful to like if I sit by you and I feel like a sense of like like peace so Excited I got some fish and maybe this will take away the distraction of my son and his YouTube videos My son loves YouTube.
That's a stain. He loves it loves YouTube watch a lot of YouTube. I don't like YouTube I'm gonna tell you why I don't like YouTube even though I watch adult versions of YouTube because I think the kids who are on The YouTubes that my kids watch are pretentious and I think they're bad influences the reason being I feel that they're bad influences and they're pretentious and all those things Here's my reasoning behind it. These kids have done nothing in life.
I watched one YouTuber that my son watched say So it gets me mad, you know, I'm like god my kids are not gonna learn any value from this They're gonna like think that you know they get free video games and free toys and they get to review them And then they you know they live in a big house for nothing. No, no my son one of the biggest misconceptions My son has is he thinks that we're supposed to be playing with him all day like he watches his YouTube and the mom and desert We're playing rubber time And my son thinks that happens all day. I'm like, nope. This is the fucking real world.
Whenever the real world is no cameras I gotta go have more kid hours possibly ten your mom She's gonna be no sooner up overnight and we are still going to say with me everybody live paycheck by paycheck That's life. We don't got time to play with it. So bad influences bad influences They don't got time to sit around play games and all that kind of stuff. We don't have it You're gonna learn how to cook like this thing is obviously you're four And I'm not expecting you to like cook or do laundry at that age or seven.
No, I'm not expecting that But I think that these kids and these videos are our teenagers are literally like 12 11 10, you know They have no values no values at all no values at all No values No values. I don't like it's be like that. I don't like it's not they have any values. They need some values They need some of that stuff in their life But then again, they had shooting reels.
What does that mean? Yes, folks. You're looking at me I have hit three videos already on Instagram reels. You want to follow me?
You want to like my reels Instagram go there at the daily life of Frank and you can see my Instagram reels You can feel them you can't see them you can't taste them that technology's not here yet But you can like them. You can love them. You want some more of them. It's my reels So I'm very excited with that very excited with that I just like that fun with them like I do some of them that are really easy like and Tease some of them so definitely take it and look at it and enjoy it a lot of it is relatable You know family stuff the one of that thing is where they play the even esa Carlton song you talk about motivational quotes and aspirational quotes I do that things I've actually said to my kids and it's pretty funny So I'm excited, you know Reels is filming the reels Hello, can I say just filming them up?
Film them up Well 2020 has snuck in to 2021. I don't know if you guys heard this story Trying to get through all the pandemic news and everything we're still trying to get through all the pandemic news a year later But 2020 has snuck in to 2021 And what do I mean by that? Kim Kardashian was named a billionaire What the fuck? Yes, folks Kim Kardashian was named a billionaire.
She was named a billionaire 2020 has snuck in to 2021 and Kim Kardashian has become a fucking billionaire. I don't care what Kim Kardashian It's another bad influence for kids. It teaches you you don't have to have any work ethic or any Value and you can be a billionaire. That's bad You don't have any value, but you can become a billionaire like me Kim Kardashian Yeah, Kim Kardashian has become a billionaire.
I was through my Twitter against the wall and I read that my whole phone Almost took my phone and tossed it couldn't believe it. Yeah, she's become a billionaire So I don't know what that with that with the value behind that is or what but you know Every alley show you expose. I don't like the YouTube stuff. You expose your family take photos here's Christmas Here's me there's party.
Oh, he's sick. He has a cold. Let's take a video of it for telling minutes And you expose and you do all that and all of a sudden all of a sudden You're a billionaire. Oh boy boy.
I'm a billionaire. Hmm must be nice must be nice to be a billionaire I'm gonna tell you something that gets on my nerves besides Kim Kardashian before besides Kim Kardashian I'm gonna say something here my neighbors get on my nerves It's gonna say it. I'm gonna throw it out there. I'm gonna throw it out there that my neighbors get on my nerves Nobody in my complex We got a great family that left of us.
We got a great neighbor to the right of us So nobody in my like unit but outside the unit is where it it goes awry outside the unit gets a little crazy It gets a little off Let me tell you why there is a mother and daughter who live together across from where we live and In that town home very nice people by the way very nice people the mother and daughter Constantly have fights like constantly have fights like fighting all the time And it seemingly is between the hours 11 p.m. And 3 a.m. Like in between there There's always a fight there's like it's like UFC not UFC like I like being the shit out of each other but screaming screaming I like to have my windows open in the summer who doesn't or even in the spring where it's warm out It's 60 out right now. I'm wearing a hoodie.
Why I'm cold now. I'm getting hot. I'm taking my clothes off here on this podcast Hopefully the good thing is you know what cameras is not a video podcast like that and hopefully you can get a visual then They scream that's a fight fight fight fight ring the bell ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding all the time But they scream and I can hear it like it's loud. It's loud.
It's loud. It's loud and for those that don't know I Had sleeping problems for a long time. Like I was like a year of just sleeping problems Couldn't sleep didn't sleep had insomnia. It was just bad So that's how I value sleep like I value all types of sleep like I value It's either sleeping or being dead.
So I don't know why I value the death part, but I love to sleep So when I hear that I jolt out of a sleep and my heart goes anxiety through the roof anxiety through the roof like chest hurts sweating pain and Samia through the roof through the roof so Because it's all the insomnia comes in because of the anxiety and I can't sleep and because the other night I take medicine at night And it's a medicine that comes me at night and it's a prescription and it's not like a sleeping medication It's just it's called your spore. No, nobody's taking that nice ticket at night and then have to go to bed but they fought one time so bad that they May my anxiety so bad that I was like insomnia. I was like up for like I don't think I slept at night. So I Tried I like go to bed and fight.
They're on the air. It but sometimes they can fight all the fucking one I'm so tired. I'm like fuck it. Right go for it.
Yeah, it's great. Go. Whatever you want. Don't care But a lot of times they're fighting.
It's like damn Here's another thing another thing about a neighbor. We had a new neighbor move in a few town homes down This guy likes to photograph everything and I don't mind people who photograph everything but I am Always paranoid always paranoid. So I'm not sure why he's photographing this and he's photographing that and he's photographing here And he's like pointing the camera to houses and pictures like I know you're not taking pictures of the house Maybe it's like what are you doing? What are you snapping?
What is your photo? Let me know please let me know what you're doing I don't know what you're doing. Stop taking photos. I don't know what you're doing.
I Don't know, maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe I'm just being crazy. It's probably both But I don't know I'm a little skeptical of the guy taking photographs because I'm gonna tell you a reason why maybe this is This is what has built my paranoia What is built my paranoia is my grandparents live in the city and they had two neighbors They had two neighbors that live together a wife and a husband and they would take pictures of Thunderstorms and they weren't very like they didn't talk to anybody And I remember like the block we had a black party one year my grandparents We went over and about the thunderstorm. They were taking photos and everything and every time photos photos photos They ended up I believe it was a murder suicide.
So you know what? I know what's going on in my neighborhood I got to know what's going on in my neck of the woods You know a little skeptical a little what's going on? What's going on? You know God you never know what's he's on the P.
