The Daily Life of Frank

Hoping you had an amazing 4th of July weekend, I’ll recap mine, including why I might need to officially launch a Lonely Dads Club. My son revealed he doesn’t know what Italian sausage is, which feels like a personal failure as an Italian father. The cats have gotten even more territorial, so apparently I may need to become a cat whisperer. And Alexa might be mad at me… or I’m just spiraling into...

It’s Fourth of July week and instead of getting ready to celebrate America’s birthday, I am experiencing some fat guy fireworks of my own. I’ll cover how food almost took me out this week and how I almost took out our orange cat with a piece of fruit. Speaking of cats, Riley is like Nikki from the movie “Obsession,” late night grooming, and much more! Check out the podcast and all the fun at  www....

The last few weeks have been pure chaos, the kind that somehow keeps me feeling young, even though my list of aches and pains is starting to tell a different story. This week, I’m talking about the movie theater system going down, an unexpected run‑in with a black crow, and the ongoing saga of my back and leg acting like they’re 30 years older than the rest of me.  All that, plus a little more of...

Still soaking up some of the Summer sun, so this week I'm taking you back to a Flashback Episode where I talk about how it was like growing up as a kid in the 90's during the Summer in Chicago. Here's the original preview:  This week, I take a stroll down memory lane—Chicago summers as a kid, where living near Madigan felt like political trip to the amusement park (minus the funnel cakes & bri...

My best bro in the world is turning the big 10 years old! While I’m off playing video games and watching YouTube videos with him I am airing a Flashback Episode that talks about how a couple years ago he started taking over the man of the house role Here’s the original preview that was used: The time has come for the changing of the guard. In fact, it may have come a lot sooner than Frank expected...

We got a new cat and total chaos has ensued between all of them. I’ll share all the hissing, growling, and late nite shenanigans. Plus, I had an epic Dad night, bought a bucket hat, and took a stress test. I’ll share all the details. All this and more, on this week’s The Daily Life of Frank! Check out the podcast and all the fun at  www.thedailylifeoffrank.com -------------------------------------...

Where has everyone’s manners gone? This week, I ponder that after an incident in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru. I will share my thoughts after seeing the Obsession movie and The Crash documentary. All I can say is wow, just wow! Plus, I have a stress test coming up, I’ll tell you how you know Summer is here, and with my anniversary coming up I share the story on how I met my wife. All this and more...

It was a Muffin Top Mother’s Day and I was cranky. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old and I can’t hear anything. The cats are doing parkour at 3am, and I am trying not to die watching the Kevin Hart Roast. The only thing that is making everything better is a McDonalds Diet Coke.  All this and more, on this week’s The Daily Life of Frank! Check out the podcast and all the fun at  www.thedailylifeof...

As I celebrate both my mom and my wife this week for Mother's Day and being the glue that keeps us all together, I am flashing back to Episode 176 where I became Mr. Mom (still wondering how Moms do it all). Will be back next week for Episode 330! Here’s the original preview that was used: Frank has transferred into Mr. Mom. Find out how he handled school drop-off, and almost getting into a car ac...

This week the weather was giving me full Final Destination vibes while my wife confidently diagnosed every one of my ailments and refused to hand over the bread because we had potatoes sitting right there. My son finished his Vermont state float, and Moose has apparently decided the human bathroom is his next thing he wants to try. Check out the podcast and all the fun at  www.thedailylifeoffrank....

This week on the show, my son stood up for himself — and yes, he may have used a curse word, but honestly I couldn’t be prouder. The family hit Chili’s on Saturday, and those bacon ranch nachos reminded me why that place is still undefeated. I’ve also become a full‑time backseat driver to my wife, acting like I’m teaching Drivers Ed from the passenger seat. Meanwhile, the coach–reporter scandal so...

This week, I’m recapping our Wrestlemania party — the snacks, the fun, and of course the cats, who behaved like they were auditioning for their own heel turn. Plus, Tom Skilling was at my son’s school and he acted like it’s no big deal. I’ll also break down his surprisingly advanced art of asking for a school sick day. And — drumroll — I finally won the big baseball bet. Yes, miracles do happen. C...

This week on the show, I’m finally catching up with April. I’ll tell you how April Fools Day always make me into an easy target, why the Easter Bunny freaks me out, and how my baseball bets are busting. I’m also revisiting the time I wanted to play Jesus in the school play, explaining why little girls are evil. Plus, Moose has officially reached the ‘I own this house’ stage of cat confidence. All...

Hoping everyone had an enjoyable Easter! This week, I am taking a break (yes, I did that two weeks ago) to celebrate with family but wanted to play a very special episode from last year. One year ago, which is hard to even type, I was admitted to the hospital. Here’s my life changing story. It’s emotional, so get your Kleenex ready. I’ll see everyone next week with a brand new episode! Here's the...

I’m back after watching my brackets implode in real time and celebrating my daughter’s birthday — which reminded me, in a very emotional way, that these kids are growing up way too fast. The last couple of weeks have been peak chaos: my wife found glitter in the litter box, discovered that Lent is… not actually 40 days? That one broke my brain. All this and much more this week on The Daily Life of...

What's up! I've been watching my brackets bust in real-time and celebrating my daughter's birthday. This week, I am flashing it all the way back to Episode 1. From time to time, I like to go all the way back to the very first episode to listen to where it all began! Sit back and enjoy, and next week I return with glitter in the litter box, my body blocking out a projector, my son may be Happy Gilm...

An influencer said his job is hard, and listen… I have questions. Because over here, my kids are overreacting to everything — and I mean everything. My son had a nosebleed that turned the garage into a full‑blown crime scene. I almost called CSI, but Moose got there first. I’ll also reveal my secret talent, the one thing I can actually brag about. And with March Madness starting, I’m preparing to...

Those darn cats are back at it and I’m starting to think Moose is being purr pressured by Nemo. Meanwhile, both kids are down with the flu, we had a zero‑toilet‑paper emergency first thing in the morning, my son is cracking jokes about what day of the week it is, and my daughter is out here almost giving me a heart attack while I’m driving. And can we please stop with the fake ‘Punch the Monkey’ n...

What a week — full of family, food, and me officially entering my old‑school era. I’ll recap my birthday, including the watch that is bringing back a much simpler time. A waitress convinced us to try caramel‑covered cheese curds, and against all logic, they were absolutely incredible. And back at home, the cats are acting up and the jealousy levels are at an all‑time high which is giving full feli...

I am taking my birthday week off, and will have a new episode next week! Until then, enjoy a very special Flashback Episode as I go back to the Fall of last year as the podcast celebrated 300 episodes.  Here's the preview: To celebrate 300 episodes of The Daily Life of Frank, we’re throwing the mic wide open to the people (and creatures) who know me best. In this special edition, I sit down with h...

We’re heading into warmer weather this week, and my body has absolutely no idea what season we’re in. Hoodie? Shorts? Both? I recap the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, and NBA Saturday Night. Plus, I got my test results back, and let’s just say… it could’ve been worse. Looks like I officially survived the holidays, even if my body filed a small complaint. And because my brain is a carnival, I’ve also...

Moose the cat is being mischievous and wondering if this is his version of the terrible twos? I finally got my big game menu in order and I’ll share all the deets (see I am not old, I use cool words). Plus, I help with my son’s homework and then decide I can never go back to school, my daughter rocks her musical and much more! Check out the podcast and all the fun at  www.thedailylifeoffrank.com -...

The Big Game is almost here, and I’m praying this bloating clears out in time so I can properly demolish Sunday’s menu. Meanwhile, I’ve stumbled onto a new TV show that has me convinced I’m basically part of the team. At home, my wife has decided Nemo needs a rebrand, I’ve finally joined Wordle, and been trying to figure out if a gyros sandwich can give you a charley horse. Check out the podcast a...

The deep freeze of 2026 came in like a wrecking ball and did I hear my tree pop? Da Bears lost and I’m heartbroken — not soul‑crushed, just emotionally limping into 2026. Caleb Williams is a damn superstar, but Packers fans keep invading my TikTok like it’s their personal victory parade. Between Stranger Things ending and the Bears season being over, this year has been so emotional. Meanwhile, my...

I told my wife the Earth might lose gravity this August and proved it by falling down… which she says makes me look dumb, but here we are. My knee still hurts which I am beginning to think is arthritis, there was a squall warning, and I discovered I am fascinated with the corncob buildings in Chicago. I played early‑morning video games with my son and felt young again, then immediately lost my par...
