Episode 0138 - Dads & Grads

Frank & Friends Show

Friday, May 3, 2024 - 46 minutes

Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Mitch Moore, who is a freelance writer. Frank met someone named Duran who posts reaction videos on YouTube. Mitch suggests that Duran record his reaction to the Frank & Friends Show. 

Frank is wearing a shirt that he hasn’t worn in a couple of years. A news anchor once told Frank that he doesn’t tuck in his shirt behind the desk so that he can pull on the shirttails before going on-air. A member of a military honor guard suggested that Frank try using shirt garters. 

Mitch has an issue with graduation ceremonies for kindergarten or preschool. At the preschool graduation for Frank’s grandkids, the students go down the slide in the playground when their name is called. 

Frank points out that “Dads & Grads” sales make sense in the North where graduations often coincide with Father’s Day weekend. In the South we should have “Moms & Grads” but that doesn’t rhyme. 

This episode is sponsored by BoneZones.com (don’t forget the S). Buy books and other merchandise autographed by Body Farm founder Dr. Bill Bass at https://bonezones.com/ including Body Farm t-shirts. Contact BoneZones to hire Frank to give a presentation about Dr. Bass and the Body Farm. 

Frank noticed that his Apple products often try to autocorrect plural words into possessive words like when he types the title of Marble City Opera’s upcoming production The Doctor and the Devils. Find tickets and information at https://www.marblecityopera.com/tickets 

Frank’s pool is so green that Mitch thinks he’s still celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. When Frank went to the pool supply store to buy algaecide, the clerk asked for his phone number. Instead of his real number, Frank said, “867-5309.” 

Mitch recently rewatched the movie Twister and wonders about the villain played by Cary Elwes. Mitch thinks the writers gave him a comeuppance more severe than he deserved. 

Frank was embarrassed at the Apple Store when his debit card was declined, even though he had put enough money in the account. The bank texted Frank to make sure the purchase was legitimate but the card was still declined.
