Frank & Sense

HELL-o everyone and welcome to the second episode of our theme month for October: Far Right Fright Nights!

This week, we bring you the rise, the fall, the rise again, and the fall...again...of Richard Milhaus Nixon. We get to hear some of the Nixon tapes, some early campaign ads, and we even play a round of Nixon Karaoke. Join us, if you dare, for the life and times of one of America's original content creators/podcasters.

Hell-o everyone and welcome to the very first episode of our theme month for October: Far Right Fright Nights! Each week, Mitch "The Wolfman" Lerner and I will be presenting a spinetingling, fright-tastic ghoul of the far right. We begin this series with one of the biggest creeps of all: Richard Milhous Nixon.

Before we recount the horror story that is the Nixon presidency, we present recordings documenting Frank and Mitch's recent trip to one of the most haunted places on the planet: The Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

Join us, if you dare, for a discussion of how this place chooses to remember one of our most infamous presidents!

They're back! The gang is all here! Ross, Mitch, and Frank discuss the Trump/Harris debate. Ross was on site in Philly with the Washington Post. Recorded at 1am EST after the debate, the boys unpack the first (and maybe only?) debate between our 2024 presidential candidates. We talk about the important issues - such as what the coffee situation was like at the debate. We also talk about transgender operations on illegal aliens in jail, eating cats and dogs, and having a concept of a plan. All of that, plus some very bad Taylor Swift song references!

The boys are back in town, and we're talking about the coconut in the room: The 2024 Democratic National Convention! Ross is fresh back from Chicago, and Mitch and Frank ask him the important hard hitting questions about what it was like to be there. For example, what was the coffee situation like? We also ask Ross a number of questions submitted by our amazing listeners, discuss the pick of Tim Walz as Vice President, speculate about the best (and worst) speeches of the convention, and much more. All of that, plus Lil Jon, on this episode of "Frank & Sense!"

This week, Frank is joined by his multi-talented friend Lee Gerstenhaber to discuss her many adventures to Burning Man. From the surreal art installations to the gift economy, Lee shares stories of wild moments, climbing sculptures, and the essential items to get you through a week in the desert. Turn on, tune in, drop out, and get ready for laughs, listener questions, thoughts from Ben Shapiro, and, of course, a conversation about how pooping in the desert works.

It's like looking into a mirror, only...not. This week, Frank is joined by his dear friend Ali Grusell to discuss the film "Face/Off." And boy, there is a LOT of movie to discuss. Frank and Ali discuss the facial gymnastics of Nic Cage, why he is so inspiring to Ali, and, of course, the importance of time cards. We also attempt to answer some of life's biggest questions. For example, if I were to let you suck my tongue, would you be grateful? It's a pulse-pounding, action-packed, thrill ride of an episode that will have you touching your face. Strap on your magnetic boots, sit back, and enjoy this episode for the next hundred years!

"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"--Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

In the last four weeks, we have undergone a series of unprecedented events. We witnessed an all time disaster at a presidential debate, an attempted assassination of former president, and an incumbent president bow out of the race for re-election.

This week, Frank is joined by two of his best friends, Ross Godwin of the Washington Post and Mitch Lerner, to discuss all this and more. Ross was at the presidential debate and at the Republican National Convention last week, and we get his perspective on being in the room with a front row seat to history. We also ask important, hard hitting questions. For example, how was the food at the RNC? Was JD Vance intimate with a couch?

All of that, plus some listener questions, on this episode of "Frank & Sense!"

Ahhh, the French Champagne! Frank is joined this week by two of his best friends, former roommates, and the greatest band in Washington DC: The French Champagne (Aaron Bliden and Nick Wilby). The boys talk about Medieval Times, Baltimore accents, DC music history, and play a few games. We also hear a few stories from when Aaron was a boy and sang the National Anthem at an Orioles game, as well as his encounter with disco duo Peaches & Herb. It's our most menacing, weird, and striving episode yet. Slip on in, pop a bottle of bubbly, and feel that quaalude swing!
