This episode starts with Beau remembering the time his eighth grade math teacher pulled him out of line, reviewed the substitute teacher’s bad report, and told him, “You’re not passive, you’re not aggressive, you’re not passive-aggressive… I don’t know what you are, but I don’t like you.”

Naturally, this becomes a Teacher Appreciation episode.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about Miss Bell, Period 3, middle school trauma, his mom’s 30+ years in education, why teachers are playing the long game, and how investing in students often works more like compounding interest than instant gratification.

Somewhere between educator appreciation, family reunion memories, a Florida Aquarium trip, Big Lu’s first round of golf, a sandhill crane getting absolutely involved in the shot shape, Brett taking a golf ball to the rear, Bonnie Jean’s, Wombos, and the theological importance of long-term investment, this episode lands on a simple reminder: teachers matter, investment takes time, and you may not see the fruit immediately.

Also, Miss Bell, if you’re listening, Beau is ready to mend the relationship.

This episode starts with Beau hiding near a pool, tracking a location, receiving a dramatic “Abort” text, and then climbing into a tree to photograph his brother Jackson’s engagement to Julia.

Naturally, it ends with hedonic adaptation.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about Jekyll Island engagement espionage, Wake Up Coffee, the Sea Turtle Convention, failed Brunswick thrift-store economics, family reunions, generational faith, biscuits and chocolate gravy, clay shooting, Oprah actually being named Orpah, Ruth stepping into the unknown, and why the things we think will finally satisfy us usually become normal faster than we expect.

The new car becomes just the car. The new job becomes just the job. The raise becomes just money. The championship becomes the next championship.

Ecclesiastes reminds us to enjoy the pleasures of life, but not to worship them. Because pleasure is a gift, but it makes a terrible god.

Also, Brett was gone, so Beau sang. Please process that however you need to.

This episode starts with Beau and Edwar kayaking at youth camp, immediately turning left into the trees, cutting off Kristen, cramping up, recovering with pickle juice, and somehow turning the whole thing into a lesson on unity in mission.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about Westside Youth Camp 2026, the theme “War in the Heavens,” spiritual warfare, fighting battles through prayer, unity in mission, the Navarre Beach audio disaster, a 1900s camcorder travel vlog, Stetson eating caviar, the dunes catching fire again, Jackson becoming a first responder, and why your life is not defined by the season you are preparing for.

Somewhere between kayaking chaos, technical camp work, spiritual warfare, beach-trip repentance, Hot Dog by Mickey Mouse, trap-remix Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Monopoly until 3 a.m., this episode lands on a simple reminder: don’t miss what God is doing today.

The past does not own you. The future does not define you. Ask the Lord how to be obedient today.

We recorded this episode live from Navarre Beach, Florida, which means the waves are loud, the wind is fighting for co-host privileges, and Rodrigo’s absence is painfully obvious.

Somewhere between childhood beach storms, spiny lobsters, sunrise filming, fried shrimp, lobster bisque, a Boudreaux’s Butt Paste sponsorship, Tanglewood golf, miserable fast golfers, cinnamon rolls, and an actual rainbow showing up in real time, we talked about God’s promises, struggling faith, and why darkness behind you does not stop the light from coming through.

Also, if the audio sounds like two men losing a podcast battle to the Gulf of Mexico, that’s called immersive storytelling.

New Quite Frankly episode out now.

This episode starts with 11-year-old Beau hitting a golf ball over a retention pond, across a street, and dangerously close to a lot full of boats and RVs.

Which, naturally, becomes a conversation about mercy.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about Vacation Bible School, the innocence of children, childlike faith, Jesus as God’s perfect Son, what actually pleases God, being clothed in Christ, submission to authority, wisdom, humility, pruning, and why followers of Jesus do not have to live like they are constantly trying to earn God’s approval.

Somewhere between backyard golf crimes, La Fiesta, Calvinism and Arminianism with a child, rainy golf at Turkey Creek, Brett’s deeply emotional letter to the listener, Rodrigo’s questionable beach promo ideas, and the coming Navarre sunrise episode, this one lands on a simple reminder: get back to the basics, remain a child of the Lord, and keep asking God for wisdom.

Also, if you owned an RV in June of 2011 and noticed a golf-ball-sized dent, Beau knows nothing.

This Father’s Day episode starts with Beau getting absolutely smoked in a tennis lesson at the US Open facility, wearing khaki shorts and a leather belt, which is, of course, the natural beginning to a conversation about dads. In this episode of Quite Frankly, Beau and Brett talk about Father’s Day, the difference between a dad who is there and a dad who is actively engaged, the memories their fathers gave them, the importance of discipline, presence, spiritual leadership, and making a great name for your Heavenly Father instead of just your family name. Somewhere between New York City, Billie Jean King witnessing tennis murder, Hawaiian Run Club, summer league basketball, golf at Greenfield, a dream house on a golf course, bathroom magazines, involved father statistics, weather man accountability, and ChatGPT-generated dad jokes, this episode lands on a simple truth: dads matter, presence matters, and what gets rooted in a child matters.

This episode started with a golf course pro shop nap, a nematode crisis, Meadowbrook nostalgia, and a turtle getting absolutely launched by a golf cart.Naturally, it turned into a conversation about optimization culture, community, pleasure, the Southern Baptist Convention, Robert’s Rules of Order, cooperative missions, the need for a one-minute dance party during business sessions, non-licensed financial advice, and the spiritual dangers of eating five sleeves of Ritz crackers before riding a roller coaster.In this episode of Quite Frankly, Beau and Brett talk about whether self-improvement culture is making people worse friends, why community matters more than perfectly optimized recovery scores, what it means to live for something bigger than yourself, and why the church needs both conviction and joy.Also discussed: Meadowbrook glory days, Myrtle Beach golf retreats, Secret SBC motions, the Martin Amendment, Shane & Shane photography, international missionaries, Elon Musk stock market fears, and the full armor of the Lord, baby.Listen on Spotify:⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/48Dq262W476WbTWzIKaCma⁠More Quite Frankly:⁠https://fleaubo.com/quite-frankly-podcast

This episode started with Ridgecrest scars, a 36-inch box jump gone wrong, chocolate chips on a charcuterie board, and a failed Disney World surprise… and somehow ended with The Mirror Test.

Which feels right.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks about childhood memories at Ridgecrest, a 36-inch box jump gone very wrong, Memorial Day, Secret Hitler, the life-changing power of chocolate chips on a charcuterie board, biblical joy, hypocrisy in the church, sacrificial love, and why beluga whales might be more self-aware than pandas.

Somewhere between Disney World, Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwiches, Scottie Scheffler heartbreak, croissant criticism, cleaner wrasse fish, and Brett’s emotional absence, this episode turns into a conversation about self-reflection, serving others, letting your personality be fueled by the Holy Spirit, and becoming more like Jesus without spiraling into self-hatred.

Also, let the record show: cheddar + cracker + chocolate chip is the Triple C.

This episode started in a doctor’s waiting room with beef tongue, chimichangas, snakes, and a woman named Patience.

Which, frankly, feels spiritually suspicious.

In this solo episode of Quite Frankly, Beau talks through a sprained ankle, an unexpected waiting room conversation, the Lord ordering our steps, the difference between earthly hope and living hope, why McDonald’s cannot carry your soul, whether pandas are real, and why your gifts were never meant to be kept to yourself.

Somewhere between the orthopedic institute, summer league basketball, Brett’s birthday, and a dangerous jalapeño popper incident, this one turns into a conversation about patience, friendship, serving others, saying yes, and trusting God even when your plans get interrupted.

Brett is back. It's Mother's Day. And we have things to say.After a brief sabbatical, the two-man pod is fully operational again — and we're diving straight into a Y2K birthday party where someone may have been confused for a fugitive, fishbowl charades featuring some of history's most charades-unfriendly events, Gary Brecka's full-nude grounding routine (we're calling it a dirt angel), a New Yorker named Doctor J and his complicated feelings about cheesesteaks, Corey's hit and run on I-75, and the theological difference between a helper and a servant.One of our hosts heard a sermon on Mother's Day about how helpers serve when it feels good — but servants serve sacrificially, regardless of conditions. Mothers do this. Jesus did this. And it changes the way you think about why you serve and who you're serving for.Whether you're a young adult figuring out what it means to give your life to something, or you're an empty nester on the pickleball court wondering what's next — this one's for you.New episode of Quite Frankly out now.Listen to the Quite Frankly Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/48Dq262W476WbTWzIKaCmaMore from Quite Frankly: https://fleaubo.com/quite-frankly-podcast🎧 About Quite FranklyQuite Frankly is a long-form podcast about faith, culture, honesty, and the inner life.
