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.

This week on Frank & Hem, we're doing what we do best—being confidently right about things that absolutely don't matter (but also… kind of do). We kick things off by proudly declaring ourselves vigilantes for elderly alcohol—protecting the sacred right of grandmas everywhere to enjoy their drink without interference. You're welcome, America. Then we turn our attention to a true culinary controversy: Hot Honey. Is it innovative? Is it trendy? Or is it just ruining perfectly good food one drizzle at a time? We've got thoughts… and they are not kind. From there, we dig into the small hills we'd die on—those oddly specific opinions you'll defend like your life depends on it. Petty? Maybe. Correct? Absolutely. And finally, we take a nostalgic trip back to childhood, breaking down the things we thought meant a family was LOADED… that, in hindsight, were just aggressively middle class. If you enjoy strong opinions, questionable logic, and the kind of conversations that sound like they should've stayed in the garage—but didn't—this episode is for you. Press play. Pick a side. And prepare to disagree with us. Be part of the Frank and Hem Show! Shoot us an email and we'll bring it up on the show [email protected] 

Episode 3 of Frank & Hem might be our most confident—and questionable—yet. We debut a new segment, "Fix It in 60 Seconds," where we solve everything from NFL overtime and the College Football Playoff to family vacations and why being late somehow becomes everyone else's problem. We also get brutally honest with "things we hate but are too Midwest to admit" (turns out we've all been lying to each other for years), and wrap it up by debating which women's Olympic sport we think we could win gold in… for reasons that don't hold up under even light scrutiny. It's fast, opinionated, and exactly the kind of logic you probably shouldn't trust—but will anyway.

Episode 2 of Frank & Hem brings the same confidence with even less credibility as we dive into obscure Midwest towns that probably shouldn't exist, the ridiculous world of sports jargon we've all blindly accepted, and a full translation of coach speak—what they say versus what they actually mean. We also take a swing at fixing Major League Baseball with ideas that range from "not bad" to "this is why we're not in charge." It's part sports, part Midwest nonsense, and mostly two guys being way too sure of opinions that absolutely don't matter.

Frank and Hem kick off their first episode exactly how you'd expect—confidently questioning things they probably Googled once. The guys dive into their debut segment "We Might Be Wrong, But…" with strong (and possibly terrible) opinions, then pitch some wildly inappropriate—and surprisingly compelling—ideas for Lambeau Field naming rights. Finally, they build out a 16-team bracket of everyday annoyances, where nothing is safe and everything gets judged. It's part sports, part life, part "how did we get here?"—and a perfect introduction to the kind of unfiltered, relatable chaos this show is built on.
