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 been making cat parodies for TikTok.Check out the podcast and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

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 and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

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 son is a natural at Madden, claims he ‘watches tennis' while actually playing VR tennis. Also: I had another old‑man moment getting excited about a shoe repair shop, threw out my back again, and my eczema flare‑up is back.Check out the podcast and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

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 parking spot as I panicked as I thought everyone was watching and noticed I am quickly morphing into a paranoid old man.Check out the podcast and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

Where's Bruce the Shark when you need him, as the cats decide it's the perfect time to “play” with the fish. I'm recapping Christmas — the food, the family fun, the gifts — and confronting the shocking truth that I may have a full‑blown Christmas‑tree obsession. I dive into Stranger Things Vol. 2, survive what was basically the undiagnosed flu, and scroll through my Spotify Unwrapped that proves I am a 33-year old Mom with toddlers.Check out the podcast and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

This week's episode of The Daily Life of Frank the cats have gone full mischief mode, turning the Christmas tree into their personal battleground whenever we're not home, while Moose has developed an obsession with candy canes that's getting out of hand. Nemo is finally settling in comfortably, though Moose decided to steal my earbud just to keep things interesting. Amid the madness, I remind myself that cuddles and hugs don't last forever, so it's important to enjoy them while they're here. On top of that, the birds and bees talk is looming, my daughter ended up in detention, and the Christmas shopping update is still a mix of stress and wrapping paper. And to cap it all off, John Cena's last match is happening, and yes—I will cry.Check out the podcast and all the fun at www.thedailylifeoffrank.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's connect!

A new era of The Daily Life of Frank returns next week but until then we are flashing back to Episode 1 where it all began. Below is the same preview I used back then. All the way back from June 28th, 2017 it's the very episode of The Daily Life of Frank!It's the very first episode of The Daily Life of Frank Podcast. This week, Frank introduces his family and their endearing qualities. He also shares his fat guy complaints, how no one should eat a calzone on their own, and talks about the various events that took place in Chicago over the weekend. He also shares why you should never get out of changing a diaper. All this and more on the very first episode of The Daily Life of Frank Podcast.

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 his wife, my kids Leo and Lil, Moose the cat, Nemo the cat, and Duncan the fish each in their own hilariously revealing interview. From family roasts to feline philosophy, VR wisdom to aquatic life, this episode is a chaotic love letter to the life behind the mic. Buckle up it's heartfelt, it's weird, and it's 100% me.

This week on The Daily Life of Frank, it all starts with bad lightning and wind and ends in a technician showdown 48 years in the making. The house flickers like a haunted house, the AC breaker taps out, and suddenly we're living in a poltergeist sequel with a side of electrical roulette. Anxiety spikes. Power dips. Oh, and the kids are back in school. All this and more, this week on the podcast!

There's a real possibility I'm shrinking my feet are dangling in more places than usual, and I'm starting to question gravity's loyalty. Meanwhile, my son has officially become the Big Hairy Animal Whisperer (yes, it's as wild as it sounds). Whoever invented the five-day grind of school and work clearly had zero chill and should not be celebrated. Oh, and I saw the new movie Weapons... all I can say is: holy crap. Buckle up this episode's got laughs, rants, and a little cinematic shock therapy.

This week, the feistiness is dialed up and for good reason. From childhood celebrities saying their final goodbyes and realizing I'm getting old to a doctor's office front staff that might need a permanent improvement plan, it's been one of those weeks. I also dive into my latest AI obsession and how it may have accidentally landed me on a list. Buckle up this episode's got sass, nostalgia, and a touch of digital paranoia.

The Daily Life of Frank returns next week but until then we are flashing back to Episode 189 where I talk about the first time I met his wife, a Valentine's Day fiasco, and more!

The dawgs (who are cats), have mastered retail treasure hunting or started hoarding gummies like they're prepping for a Cheech and Chong reunion. Nemo and I kick off every day with our breakfast summit. I also unpack why two tall beers are now a tactical error, how breathing feels like a gym workout thanks to the air quality, and a Home Run Derby finish that smelled like a setup. Oh—and yes, I cover the Coldplay concert, where Andy Bryon, the former CEO from Astronomer, was spotted breaking HR rules with his Chief People Officer.

After nearly two decades of being married, nothing makes me jealous anymore except maybe the walk to the garden. Meanwhile, the bedroom renovation tornado led by my wife and daughter is turning their shared space into a live-action construction site. Loud bangs? Frequent. Peace and quiet? Extinct.In this episode, I unpack how aging affects your political filter, relive my dramatic tumble outside an Office Depot, and dive into a topic nobody asked for but everyone will now Google: cat nipples. Yep, it's one of those episodes. All this and more this week on the podcast!

Summer is flying by and before the seasonal sadness sets in, we're slamming the pedal to the floor and soaking up every spark. This episode's a firecracker—packed with Fourth of July festivities, family cookouts, rogue neighborhood fireworks (which I love), and one magical show that mesmerized the kids and maybe the adults too.

This week on the pod: I break down the sugary truth about overindulging in candy (spoiler: cancel all of your plans for the day), question whether my cats are secretly training for parkour, and how we all ugly-cried through the emotional rollercoaster that the final season of Squid Game was. Plus, a cautionary tale about something my son saw on my Instagram that he definitely wasn't supposed to, and a recap of my dad-and-me suite experience at the White Sox game — big thanks to Caesars Sportsbook. Great memories were made… right after I did about three embarrassing things.

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 & bribery charges). I dive into my son's very serious investigation into who's hotter, recap his unexpected transformation into a school bus superhero, and yes, the cats have officially started acting like actual dogs… metaphorically (for now).Big shoutout to the Sportsbook for the clutch tickets—proving once again, the way to my heart is through premium seating. All that and whatever else falls out of my brain mid-recording.

This week, I recap Father's Day and  my son's birthday bash, featuring a poolside moment that delivered love and heartbreak unravel in record time. I may have even glimpsed the human forms of Moose and Nemo (spoiler: they were both beefy and Italian). Speaking of Nemo, he's finally settling in—aside from the strategically placed "gifts" he's leaving around the house.I also recount my non-activity-related injury at Dave & Buster's, the reinjury at the grocery store and how one poorly prepped coffee nearly sent me to the great beyond—or at least urgent care.All that, plus the usual dose of unsolicited life lessons and questionable decisions wrapped in dad-grade storytelling.

This episode, we break down the real scoreboard of life—from gaming battles with my son (where I'm definitely losing) to the ongoing mystery of when I finally get a summer break. Spoiler: never. Plus, we're celebrating the Birthday Boy and his upcoming bash!But wait—let's talk about "Big Dawg, Tiny Dawg" (who, fun fact, are actually cats) and how the animal kingdom keeps throwing me into existential crises. Speaking of crises, "Was I Pranked Again at Wendy's?" dives into my latest fast-food fiasco, featuring a rogue Frosty that may or may not have taken up skiing.On top of that, Illinois is hitting us with new gambling fees, which raises an important question: do the sportsbooks and the state really need more of my money? Plus, here's a question I never thought I would ask myself, is my bathroom haunted?All this and plenty more, because life's stories never stop!

This week, we welcome a brand-new addition to the family—Nemo, our two-month-old adopted kitten!
