This week on Frank & Hem, Mike steps into the One-Minute Rant spotlight before the guys take a trip through some of the most bizarre crime stories Wisconsin has ever produced.

From beer cave sit-ins and slow-speed police chases involving heavy machinery to the legendary theft of thousands of pounds of cheese, the boys uncover the kind of criminal masterminds that could only exist in America's Dairyland.

Later, Frank and Hem discuss the jobs they'd be absolutely terrible at, proving there are some careers that simply aren't in the cards.

Plus, Mike delivers an important update regarding this year's Hodag Festival.

It's another episode full of questionable decision-making, Wisconsin weirdness, and the kind of conversations that make you wonder how any of us are still employed.

A quick-hit Frank & Hem mini episode, the guys tackle one of life's most important topics: gas stations. From their favorite stops and go-to hot food bar picks to the red flags that make them immediately turn around and leave, nothing is off limits. Grab a snack, top off the tank, and join the debate on what separates a great gas station from a hard pass. ⛽🌭🥤

This week on Frank & Hem, Frank unleashes a One-Minute Rant on the growing epidemic of smart appliances. Why does a refrigerator need Wi-Fi? Why does a washing machine need an app? And when did a toaster become smarter than its owner?

The guys then turn their attention to the College World Series, discussing who they're pulling for in Omaha and why. Next, they each rank their Top 5 Modes of Summer Transportation, from boats and bikes to golf carts and everything in between.

Frank also provides a quick update on preparations for this year's EAA festivities, including the excitement, chaos, and work that comes with getting ready for one of Wisconsin's biggest summer events.

Smart appliances, college baseball, summer transportation, and EAA prep—just another week in the garage with Frank & Hem.

Later, Frank and Hem take a trip down memory lane and discuss things that used to be absolutely awesome... but somehow kind of suck now. From changing traditions to modern conveniences that aren't so convenient, nothing is safe.

This week on Frank & Hem, the guys fire up a full blown Memorial Day episode packed with nostalgia, arguments, and pure American energy.

Frank then delivers this week's One Minute Rant aimed directly at streaming services and the absolute disaster live sports viewing has become. Four apps, nine passwords, buffering screens, blackout restrictions… what happened to just flipping channels like civilized people?

The guys also riff on the greatest patriotic songs of all time and finish the episode with a list of real and fictional people who truly embody America.

Grab a brat, crack a beer, and celebrate Memorial Day weekend with Frank & Hem.

This week on Frank and Hem, Hem kicks things off with a passionate defense of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as the superior sitcom over The Office — and Frank may need a bird law defense attorney.

The guys also shout out listeners, answer fan questions, and dive headfirst into some absolutely necessary societal debates:

• Is leaving weights on gym machines a selfish act or no?
• What's the proper etiquette for corporate bathroom "situations"?
• Which movie quotes have permanently become part of our daily vocabulary?
• George Michael and Wham! were there signs.......?

Mike then somehow lands the plane by ending the episode on a positive, reflective note… like a zenned-up mob boss who just finished a self-help audiobook.

Another chaotic, ridiculous, and strangely relatable episode from your favorite Midwest dads.

This week on Frank & Hem, the guys kick off a brand new weekly segment: Frank & Hem – One Minute Rant. Frank opens the show with a completely reasonable and definitely-not-threatening letter to a school bus bully… let's just say the kid should probably keep his head on a swivel.

The guys also dive into the little things that make men secretly judge other men, break down the absolute WORST sounds you can hear in your house, and somehow turn smoke detector chirps, mystery crashes, and "Dad… I threw up" into comedy gold.

To close things out, Hem shares his latest bizarre infatuation, and honestly… we're a little concerned.

Midwest sarcasm, dad energy, questionable opinions, and weekly nonsense — just the way you like it.

This week on Frank & Hem, we go deep into the internet trenches as we break down our favorite YouTube rabbit holes—the kind that start with one innocent video and somehow end three hours later with you watching grainy footage about abandoned malls or ranking backup quarterbacks from 2007.

We also unveil our personal Mount Rushmore of Dad Moves—the universal behaviors that every dad eventually develops whether they want to or not.

Then it's time for another blind ranking challenge as Hem takes on fast food chains, and let's just say… his #1 choice may divide the audience.

We wrap things up by discussing the minor conspiracies we're slowly starting to believe. Nothing too crazy… but enough to make you raise an eyebrow and say, "Okay… hear me out."

As always, strong opinions, questionable logic, and absolutely zero research. Welcome back to Frank & Hem.

This week on Frank & Hem, we lean all the way into the confidence… whether it's deserved or not.

We kick things off with our favorite "I still got it" moments—the small, meaningless wins that make us feel elite (even if nobody else is impressed). From there, we break down the ideal Midwest first date, where the expectations are low, the vibes are strong, and somehow County Fairs may be the power move.

Frank then takes on a blind ranking of Sitcom Dads, which goes exactly how you'd expect—questionable decisions, strong opinions, and immediate regret.

This week on Frank and Hem, we dive into the moment life changed—from things just happening… to needing a full warmup.

We talk about how to measure athleticism in real life at our age, the everyday things we now have to prepare for (that used to be effortless), and the risk vs. reward decisions that have completely flipped over time.

We also debate a listener question: are promposals actually cool, or just wildly over the top?

If you've ever pulled something doing something normal, this episode will hit home.
