Welcome. Click that. What a beautiful day. It is recording this podcast in the early morning as the family sleeps and the laundry goes on in the background.
Yes, this is Dadder Day. Old age watch, 2022 continues. I've been getting some bad leg shakes as of late, like my legs cannot sit still. At night when I lay down, I'm on some medication, a lot of medication, so I'm thinking that is what it is, but we cannot count it out, that it's possibly, I'm getting old, and this is another thing that is occurring with my body.
As I told you guys last week about the old age watch and how I feel, you know, last week with all the things that are going on, I continue to feel it this week with leg shakes. So, yeah, it's just crazy. I didn't sleep, I really had a stuff for like two hours when I, because it was just so bad, I couldn't sleep. I was like, I've had something called Acathasia before, and Acathasia is something, some side effects of medication that you'll get up and get a jolt in your body, pretty much, and then walk for like an hour.
And I had that for a very, very long time, until I had like changed some medication, but I had that for a very, very long time, and I'm not saying that I was like nervous, that this was coming back, but I'll tell you, it was in the back of my mind, because there was a lot of sleepless nights when I had very high anxiety and Acathasia, I was going through a rough patch in 2017, and yeah, so there was a lot of stuff going on, and I was like, oh, am I going backwards? I know, I wasn't thinking that, but it was just like, oh, yeah, old age watch, 2022 continues, like shakes galore. Yeah, like shakes. I swear to God, I don't know what else can we next, we'll find out what next week is.
What will be on the old age watch 2022 next week? Why have there so many fucking bugs? There's flies, there's bees, there's bugs in general, and I noticed this last year, I think last year there was like an over amount of flies, and I think there's a reasoning behind that. I'm not sure exactly the reasoning, and I think there are cicadas, maybe outside my window here as I hear, nasty cicadas is early in the morning.
So there's been a plethora of bugs everywhere, and flies especially, I'm getting this to think that maybe, when I discovered this, I think it was two years ago, I discovered all the flies, and it was something with a pandemic, and not being out, it was a whole thing. I thought maybe we have a serial killer in my neighborhood, I mean, there's so many flies, there's so many flies, and he or she, whoever it is, could be still killing bodies, right? Stop killing, I'm joking, I'm joking. There's no serial killer that I know of in my neighborhood.
Let's be specific. I hate to, I hate to, all of a sudden, I have like, this being investigated. He said he had too many flies, let's investigate it. And they always go to the guy first who mentions it, so you know?
So yeah, but yeah, just the bugs are crazy, the flies, man. I tell you, I swear to God, I'm like, wait a minute, serial killer, no. But they're all over, there's bees, tons of bees, tons of bugs. It's like a damn insect world outside, can't even sit outside, mosquitoes, mosquitoes, they come in the morning, never heard that, I usually, I figured, maybe it comes as stupid, but I figured that they come at night, you know?
But no, in the morning they're out there, they bite your legs up and bite your arms up and bite everything, and they're like more bold, I think one landed on my nose. Like you're not gonna get any blood out of there, they'll have my nose, get off my nose. But yeah, they're just bad, mosquitoes are bad, and then I don't know what's going on, but when I was a kid growing up, we used to have a problem with a thousand leggers, like every so often my mom would scream when she would see these thousand leggers, and yeah, it's a scream at the top of her lungs, and I think she screamed, oh, she brave, I don't remember. Maybe I was one to scream, I think maybe I was one to scream, because now we had one the other day in the kitchen, I almost jumped 32 feet in the air, I thought this thousand legger crawling across, and I think those are, that's called centipedes, I have no idea what they are called.
Could we look it up now? Because now I'm gonna be interested to see what that was. Hold on a minute, let me see here, let me work out some magic here. You guys stay there and just stay busy for this podcast.
It's a centipede. Ah, I'm gonna tell you what just happened in a minute. Oh, that scared me. Holy fudge.
Oh, ah, I'm talking about these fucking bugs, I'm fucking telling you guys, this is what happened this morning. I'm here prepping the podcast, and one of these centipedes, or it was a spider, whatever it was, it was fucking like the Usain Bolt of bugs. It skirted across my desk. I jumped, almost woke the entire house up with my screen.
I'm surprised my wife didn't come running down to think there was a serial killer in the house. That just happened, and now I'm reading this bug story, and I'm telling you guys about the centipede, that's in my house, and I'm guessing that was probably a centipede, and I don't know where it went, and I know, I know, when there's bugs in the house, or a mouse, or something, they call a dad to help him. Dad doesn't like him, so, gotta put it by brain, bad face. That thing, whatever, it skirted, that, and then I'm telling the story, and then this bug just now flew across my face, and I just almost had a heart attack on the air.
Whoa, oh, God, I don't know what this thousand leggers right now, I just don't know. I don't know, the centipede is somewhere, oh my God. I'm going to have a heart attack here. Whoof, I don't like bugs in general, I don't like anything that crawls like that, or slithers.
Dogs are cool with me, cats are cool with me, but anything, oh yeah, I have something touch my foot, nope, that was just my own other foot. Okay, let's, oh God, oh, I may have to stop. Okay, all right, so I guess. And I'm not gonna edit this out, because this is pure podcast gold.
Cause this is genuine folks, this is a genuine fair I'm having right now. You can see my fair here on the podcast, you can feel it through your headphones and speakers. My son had his picture day, sharp, sharp as can be. War like a shark Hawaiian shirt, he's a cute kid.
My daughter's cute, I have cute kids, I have cute kids. And look great, you look great. My picture day when I was around his age wasn't great at all, it was actually the worst possible day of my life. Okay, that's a little dramatic, a little dramatic, but I had a real jerk of a photographer, photographer.
I remember growing up and I was, I don't know, great, maybe I'll say first or second. And this photographer, I was in line, waiting for my photo and I was next. And he said, along the lines, something like, all right, chubs, time to get on that stoop. What the fuck?
Now you tell that to me now. Like, you know, if you, if you're like, hey, hey, chubby, get out of the way, I'll be like, what the fuck is your problem? When you're like first or second grade? I was like, what?
I must have like blocked this, the after effects out of my brain, because I don't remember any event. So I'm thinking and I'm guessing that I blocked it way out of my brain cell. But I could only imagine my mom, who was very protective of her boys and my dad, and I could only imagine. I mean, we are Italian, so I don't know what happened to him, but all I'm gonna say is we are Italian.
No, I'm just kidding. But I don't know, I don't remember what the aftermath was, but I remember I was a kid, I was like, what the fuck? Maybe I need to go back to therapy, I get this result. Maybe I'll sit down with the photographer.
He's like 97 years old right now. I didn't mean to call you that. It was a different time. There was a comment we used to call kids, they showed them that they were loved.
I don't know, imagining that would be like, God. Oh my God. Not there right now, if he wasn't 97 and I saw him on the street, I still punch him in the space today. Yeah, but I was like, holy moly.
It's a primeitizing moment in my life. But like I said, I can't remember what happened after. I know my mom had some words. I could only imagine that.
And yeah, I walked my son to school, his school's right down the block. And I walked into school and he loved it. He loved when dad walks into school. And he took the long way, which he walks all the way around the house.
And that was okay, but it was like 90 degrees outside, his backpack, which he has to have his school laptop in there and then he have books in there and everything else. His laptop weighed 300 pounds. So of course, I don't want him carrying it all the way to school. He's a tiny boy yet.
He's growing. He's getting his muscles. So I don't have him carry it. So I carried it, well actually, this is how it went down.
My wife's like, he carries back back. I was like, no, he can carry it. And then I put it on and I'm like, oh my God, this is heavy. So I walked to school, had his large backpack in hand.
I was sweating at this point. We got to school and yep, like I said this a couple weeks back. I don't want these kids to grow up, but I want them to grow up. And I'm gonna miss the kids being little, but in line, his friends were calling him.
They were yelling like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. They were chairing him on and I was like, oh my God. Dad moment, I'm gonna start to cry. And he ran, but he had a big backpack on it this time.
So he fell. That's he fell. It's all over. What a tumbled me over and I'm fat.
I'm chubs, either or. Yeah, so he tumbled over and he fell. And he was wiping the grass off his legs and he looked a little concerned. And his friends still cheered him on.
And by that moment, I wanted to go over and be like, are you okay? Are you okay? You got a boo boo? We kiss it.
And I did it. I held myself. I held myself, you know? I held my composure, my composure.
I didn't kiss no boo boos or anything like that. So, but yeah, they're growing up so quick. They're growing up so quick. And he's in this, I don't know what's a phase, but man, he is really showing his love for me.
For his dad, he really is. And I am soaking up every ounce of it. Every ounce of it. He is really showing his love for his dad.
He wants to watch wrestling. I like my AW, my WWE. He wants to watch football with me. One time he came home and he's like, hey, let's record the football game so we can watch it in the morning.
I'm like, oh my God. Really? We're going to analyze the game together? I just want my life.
He wears no shirt to bed sometimes. I want wear a shirt to bed. All right, night. I know some of you are eating during listening to this podcast.
I apologize. Please don't throw up. So yeah, he won't do that. And it's just that thing.
He wants to cuddle a lot more. He wants to snuggle. He wants to watch TV with dad. It's a whole thing.
And I'm soaking it up every instance of it. Because they're going to grow up one day and they're probably not going to want to do anything with mom and dad. They're not going to want to do anything with us. We're going to be uncool to hang out with.
And that's understandable. It's understandable. Understandable. Understandable.
So yeah, it is what it is. But hopefully this love continues on. And I'm sure it will. I'm sure it will.
But I mean, you're not going to get like, I think your kids will always love you. But there's going to be a point where they're not going to want to hang around you. They're going to just want to be out there with their friends and stuff. And they're going to still love you and everything.
But I just, you know, they're not. I don't see my 17-year-old son snuggle with me on a couch. I really don't. He's like, you know, friends.
Like I was saying friends. My daughter, she has friends now. Has a couple of girls. I'm into the house, my house.
Like I was sitting down and having a snack. And all these girls give me my house. They're also talking and making themselves comfortable. Sitting on my couch.
I'm talking about sleepovers. And I'm like, sleepovers. Oh my god, you're too young. My daughter's eight.
So you know, she's going to get into that point where sleepovers are going to happen. And I just, wow, everybody's growing up so quick, so quick. I just can't believe it. It's just friends and sleepovers.
And, you know, yeah, friends at school. And I know, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to have an honest dad moment here.
Sometimes it does bring a tear to my eye. Sometimes I bring a tear to my eye here. It does. Not as much as my fantasy football thing just yet.
Yeah, so I drafted my fantasy football team yesterday. And what happened was last night, Friday night, we usually do a piece of some kind of movie. Friday night, there was a movie that my daughter and wife wanted to see on their own. So my wife asked if, you know, would you want to sit with Leo and watch something?
And I'm like, yes, yes. A, because it's cool. And B, because you know, all this dad love, he's been showing. Yes.
He had a wrestling DVD picked out. It was really fun. So we were watching it. And then he had this YouTube channel that he follows.
And we were watching that. And these two kids are really, really funny. And we were watching them. And I was draft.
So when I do my draft, I got to be like gone. Like, focus. I got like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I go through and everything.
And I wasn't as focused because I was trying to watch the show and trying to use my phone. And yeah, my fantasy football draft sucked. Sucked. And I made it a cash league this year.
It even worked. Like, my draft grader was a C plus. Not great. Not horrible, but it was horrible for me.
I don't like what I did. But you know, I don't know. My wife who was watching the movie must have been a little early, because my wife got a fucking A minus in her draft grade. That's a mess up the fishy going on.
We're going to start this movie. We're going to stop it at 7.30. When the draft's having an A15 will look at D.Y.Y. I see how it is.
Maybe she's not as easily distracted as me. That could be it. That could be it, too. She could be it.
It's not as easily distracted. Well, I'm going to keep you informed on not only HWatch 2022, but Bug Watch 2022 here. All right. It's time for the dance show of the week.
And this one is coming from Jeff Hoover of WGN Morning News. I follow Jeff on Twitter. He's absolutely funny with some of these jokes. And I thought this one would be hysterical.
I know my son and daughter will both love this one. All right. Ready? When is the best time to use the toilet?
When is the best time to use the toilet? But it's too dirty. You have a great week, everybody. Enjoy your Labor Day.
Enjoy your Saturday. Enjoy it all. And I will see you back here next week for more of a daily flight of Frank website. Again, the day like Frank dot com.
Bye, everybody.
