How you doing? I’m Frank, a husband to Kate, dad to two kiddos, Lil and Leo, and petdad to two cats, Moose and Nemo, who like to give me passive-aggressive stares from the windowsill.The Daily Life of Frank is my weekly podcast where I share the chaos, comedy, and occasional existential crisis that comes with being a parent, a husband, and an average guy just trying to keep the house from spontaneously combusting. I cover it all in a way that is unfiltered, unapologetically real, and held together by the kind of love that makes the madness meaningful. Be...

Episode 325: Glitter in the Litter Box
Last Wednesday at 11:00 AM

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 Frank!

Flashback to Episode 1: Pilot
03/25/2026

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 Gilmore and more!

Episode 324: Proper Reactions
03/18/2026

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 go mad and lose money simultaneously. It’s tradition.

Episode 323: Purr Pressured
03/11/2026

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’ news alerts? I don’t need any more emotional damage as I am trying still to recover from the Bears miss...


Episode 322: Family, Food, and Feline Drama
03/04/2026

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 feline-WWE energy.

And yes, I absolutely talk about Punch, the monkey who is absolutley the coolest and cutest.

02/25/2026

Episode 321: Super Saturday
02/18/2026

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.

Episode 320: Mischevious Moose
02/11/2026

Moose the cat is being mischievous and wondering if this is his version of the terrible twos?

Episode 319: Super Bloat XXXXXL
02/04/2026

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.

Episode 318: He's a Superstar
01/28/2026

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...


Episode 317: Not Defying Gravity
01/21/2026

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.

Episode 316: Not So Silent Snap Count
01/14/2026

Chicago Bears snag another win, my son pulls an all‑nighter, my knee pulls something it shouldn’t, and the cats are cuddled up with my wife like they’re the ones who earned the victory.

Episode 314: Christmas Unwrapped
12/31/2025

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.

Christmas is finally here, and I’m diving into everything: the holiday movies I loved as a kid, why Christmas Eve has become my favorite holiday, how the Bears beating the Packers nearly stopped my heart, trying to survive being sick, and of course—the show’s annual tale of a boy and his Uncle returns for another year.

Episode 312: The Wet Food Bandits
12/17/2025

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 end...


Episode 311: Incongito Christmas Cats
12/10/2025

This week on The Daily Life of Frank, I’m trying to figure out who signed me up for a loan underwriting program while battling the cold and snow that just won’t quit. Meanwhile, my cats have officially claimed the Christmas tree as their secret fortress, turning it into their personal holiday hideout. My wife and I finally finished Stranger Things, and wow just wow. My son attempted to eat an Italian sub and somehow committed a food crime in the process, and I can only imagine my great‑grandma spinning in her grave watching this circus unfold.

Episode 306: Halloween Special VIII - The Pudge Purge
10/29/2025

Welcome to The Daily Life of Frank: Halloween Special 8, The Pudge Purge, where candy dreams go to die and comedy rises from the crypt. In this episode, I dive into stories of Halloween past and present from childhood scares to adult scares. I confess my true identity as a scaredy catdad (yes, I get scared easily, and scream), debut a vampire stand-up segment that’s so savage it might get banned from daylight, and share Moose and Nemo’s costume chaos featuring regret, and the existential grief of being undead and candy-deprived.

It’s a haunted grab bag of com...


Episode 305: Mouthy
10/22/2025

I started a new sugar-control med and—surprise!—I got every side effect, even the rare 1% ones. Brewers fans came for me on TikTok like I insulted their cheese curds. And speaking of mouthy behavior… Nemo’s been chirping nonstop, which might explain why Moose went full Wile E. Coyote trying to finish him off. It’s chaos, it’s relatable, it’s my life.

Episode 304: The Life of a Showdad
10/15/2025

This week, I take you inside our corn maze misadventure where sweat, soreness, and a questionable Achilles tendon were just the beginning. I’m limping through life but still living it up as a proud showdad. We’re talking about my daughter's choir concert all with an unnecessary screaming mom, and I’ll talk about why I’m already hyped for my son’s turn. It’s family, fall, and full-on Frank.

Episode 303: Already on the Bandwagon
10/08/2025

Fall’s still ghosting us, my jeans have become a personal sauna, and that TikTok buy? It might’ve opened the floodgates. My daughter’s lemonade stand crushed it, but with the weather stuck in limbo, the sick bug’s still lurking. I break down the family campout, Nemo’s Oscar-worthy dramatics over a cat video, and yes, Go Cubs Go, or whatever you want to do.

Episode 302: No Fall, No Patience, Plenty of Fiber
10/01/2025

This week, I acted on my impulses and bought something on TikTok. The fall weather is MIA, and I’m emotionally committed to hoodies while physically stuck in shorts. The family hit the mall over the weekend for exotic snacks and claw machines. I also am left wondering why sugar free candy has so much fiber?!?

Plus, my  headphones bounced off my stomach, I’ve got zero patience,  and yes I’m doing the wrap-up thing again. My son became a student ambassador, calculator rebel, tablet hacker and now wears Axe for choir.

It’s a full-blown dad saga: heartfelt advice, unexpected choir auditions from a son who still hates ads. The cats are trying to become TikTok-famous NFL pickers, Nemo the cat is throwing shade, and Mom’s getting all the feline love. Stress is sky-high, sugar’s spiking, and helicopters are buzzing overhead chasing down backyard bandits.I

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.

07/23/2025

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.

Episode 295: A Walk to the Garden
07/16/2025

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!
