In this special, slightly shorter episode, Frank begins by giving a very brief take on Christopher Columbus. Then he makes one observation about history's view of Columbus that no one ever asks. The meat of the show however focuses on Frank's 47th birthday and what he has learned about life over the years. He also shares a few past birthday experiences. A pretty simple show I if must say so. www.f...

Frank chimes in on the recent news topic of chronic disease in the US and two things everyone must know that are not really explicitly mentioned. Then he talks about how chronic disease relates to dentistry and some "controversial" materials in that profession before discussing the main difficulties and effectiveness with today's healthcare system in most fields. He finishes with some lighthearted...

On this week's show Frank discusses the notion of comedy and comedic entertainment changing over time. Problem is, though, his sense of humor has not changed. Probably never will. He then closes the show with some random and not-so-random thoughts about current events in his life as he continues to focus on his new, more creative career. www.frankwebertx.com www.frankwebertx.substack.com Get full...

Here is Frank's much-anticipated 2024 voting guidance, where he tells you how to vote (vs. whom to vote for).

This week Frank shares his thoughts on freedom of speech (and how it's not the freedom to be heard), the double standard on political speech and behavior depending on which side you are on, and a little on communication problems in the age of the internet and social media.

Frank talks about reading the book North Dallas Forty and how it, like many books, is better than the movie. He points out its message of how professional football viewed as a job and a business can be problematic and its resulting effect on the product (the game) and its fans. Many of its athletes may or may not have the same love and passion for the game as when they were younger, which can also...

Frank opens with the story of a disappearing item from Wal-Mart. He then discusses the phenomenon of the mid-life crisis and the related problem of accomplishing your "life's work", then feeling like there is nothing left to do.

This week Frank remembers his one summer as a lifeguard in 2001 and then discusses the movie Lifeguard from 1976 starring Sam Elliott in his breakout role.

He spends the rest of the show reminiscing on his life in 1984-1985 and how things were so different, carefree, and happier after watching an old football game on YouTube. www...

This week Frank gives some general thoughts about his interest in yet intense dislike of politics (limited to the governmental kind), one big thought regarding denominational Christianity, and then talks about the finish of the men's US Open golf tournament being poetic. He was a little under the weather for this, so please forgive him. NOTE: Meant to say David Duke (1991 LA governor candidate), n...
