I have an almost 16 year old daughter and I bought a box of condoms and put it in the closet. Told her to take one when she needed one but I hope she'll let me know when she does. She's going to have sex wether I get them or not so I get them and don't ask. I did teach her how to use them too.
FRANKIE the sodium intake on nust one serving size of sunflower seeds which ISNT AN ENTIRE BAG is actually insane. Thats like the tictac guy who gained weight because of tictacs that yall thought was insane.
Yikes. I had a sleepover with a bf when I was freshly 3 days after I turned 16. And doors were always closed 😂
Uh ? It’s called ups? lol mail it home dog
Frankie is hands down the best when he's being serious 👏👏👏
You should have a P.O. Box so people could send stuff after the tours! (Joey will still probably throw it/ give it away…😂)
I have a masters in math. It’s useless 🤣
I love this episode. 🩷
It’s cute to see the perspectives of ant and joe who don’t have kids compared to Frank who does and how he can help them from his experiences so far raising them. ❤️
I gave the photographer in DC an Holo Articuno card for Frank last year and pretty sure he never got it 😅
joe is so girl dad coded
I’m 25 years old and i called my dad to come pick me and my sister in law up last year when we had one too many. Much rather call my father at 3am and make him mad than drive drunk.
I’m an RA right now and every time Frank talks about being an RA/RD it makes me so happy like aw twin
Boys, PLEASE open a PO Box!
bloody LOVED this episode! green dad flags boys!
How far is the drive is it to the studio for Frank? Love to know how many bags of sunflower seeds/hr.
Museum of Ice Cream in Miami has a giant sprinkle pool
i gave joe a shirt on tour. it had a pic of frank and it says laborious under it. what are the odds it was left behind🤨😂
as a developing hoarder, I feel you Frankie 😭
I have a great idea and like this comment if you agree. New Santiago Studios podcast: Frankie and Becca doing a millennial parenting podcast. I like having a peer give me advice and not some older person and I love their dynamic and I KNOW I’m not the only one who wants this….
Hearing the parenting talk is WILDLY different as a Latina. Every single question was completely off limits for Latin kids
Ugh wait until you have teenagers😭😭😭
I loved this episode so much please talk about parent stuff more lol
20 is actually when my parents started letting my boyfriend stay over, they never let my sister or I have anyone over before but he was long distance and surprise they let me stay with him 😂
I can't wait for june 28th!!!!!!!!!!! No one ever comes to this dumbass state!!
Love love loved this episode
I can’t with this thumbnail 😂
Me, a person named Jackie, being caught off guard the first 40 seconds of the vid
me listening to them both say 20 and my parents were ok with me and my boyfriend having a sleepover at 17😭😭😭
Can someone please help me reach Frankie or Joe? I gave them the hats in Chicago and would love to give them the context behind the gifts. Frankie talking about it makes me so emotional because I love these dudes. Getting them something so "insignificant" and them wearing it, bringing it up, and caring about their fans makes them unique and special.
I think the 16 year old asking for condoms doesn’t mean she’s going to go out and have sex. She mite just have been thinking about it. I was on birth control for 2 years before having sex but I wanted to be prepared just incase. That’s an amazing relationship.
I MADE THE ERAs TOUR TEES 🥺 I knew they got them because Becca wears it but I was petty they didn’t mention it 😂
That thumbnail will haunt my dreams
6 minutes into the video & I find out they never got my gift ??? That’s CRAAAZZYYYYY cause I literally sent a joint email with the Houston venue and Greg & Joey & the venue confirmed they got it 😭😭😭. Yall it was a collage of silly pics of Joey & Frankie on a canvas & it said welcome to Houston .😩 I’m actually mad I was lied to .
I’m so uncomfortable with this thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂
Unfortunately the path to your kids calling you at midnight when they have no where to sleep is to be okay with the fact that they lied, or that they are doing things that make you uncomfortable, so they feel safe telling you. Creating limits around things they will definitely do because you're uncomfortable with the fact that they will is only gonna cause distance between you when they need you most
I wish you guys would let me talk to you about airport and all your traveling questions! The insight alone lmao 🤣 I work at jfk as a general manager and the things you discuss about planes/tsa etc it kills me everytime !
Ant is an amazing addition. I should’ve said that earlier.
I need you guys to watch The Wild Robot and discuss your thoughts.
i have a confession and i need everyone to not judge me but i eat my sunflower seeds and peanuts with the shells on like don’t spit them out i consume them whole. just needed to get that off my chest and thought now was the perfect opportunity
I cannot be there for you on the peanuts but I do also consume sunflower seeds whole :)
As a 6th grade para, Joe is 100% right. Cloud seeding is adding CCN or cloud condensation nuclei to the sky (things like dust, pollen, particles that water can attach to) to make clouds and thus rain more likely 😮
this has been my favorite episode so far.
Since Franky had to suffer through pilates I think Joe should reciprocate by having to sit through the Pokédex and rate the Pokémon
Frankie keeps talking about "Texas Roadhouse" with the peanut thing.... its not Texas Roadhouse.... its Cody's Roadhouse 🙃 someone please tell him lol
it’s also texas road house
Behavioral Specialist here! I completely understand where you’re both coming from in terms of wanting to help your kids navigate the world and prevent them from experiencing harm in any way, because thats essentially what your examples sort of boil down to. Obviously, you wanna protect your kids from earth shattering traumatic harm when applicable however, I teach the parents I work with a lot that in order for behavior to change or for kids to learn, sometimes unfortunately, they do need to be natural consequences such as a broken arm, a failed test, etc. For situations like those, the best you can do is thoroughly explain what the potential consequences of a certain behavior would be, (whether it be a good consequence or bad consequence). But always remember, the fact that you are having these thoughts and really thinking about best parenting practices and wanting to do right by your children, means you already are incredible parents. Parents are just people too, and so just like your kids are bound to make mistakes you are also bound to make mistakes as well. I also loved being able to see this side of both of you!
there was no hahas and hehehes the second half of the episode for the first time ever
Joe and Frankkkkk!!!!! I made the handmade crocheted hotdogs at the RCMH show on October 2nd!!! I gave it to security who was a real hard ass (jk it was Ant and Danny).....I hope those got to you and I hope you know how much love and thanks went into those for you two!!!
Oh I hope they got them that would be really sad for something handmade like that to be lost forever
Frankie’s “CRUNCHIESSS” sounded like Patrick from SpongeBob🤣
I don't have children, I don't plan on ever having them, but I treat my nieces as my own babies. Seeing them grow up and imagining their futures is TERRIFYING. Knowing the trouble that my sisters and I have gotten into, I don't even want to know what the future will bring. I can't imagine them being my actual children.
I’m not having kids but my niece calls me Mommy #2. I PRAY that she doesn’t take after her mother (my sister) and is more like me!
sprinkles....in da peep hole....no!
I can’t wait to see you guys at miami!
My parents never talked to me about sex. One day I came home and my mom had a paper bag full of condoms on my dresser and she told me to be careful because boys talk. So basically she told me not to be a slut lmao little did she know, I was bisexual and had a gf at the time🤣
Omg I gave bracelets in Philly! I’m so glad to hear you guys got (hopefully) some of them!
Frank as a kid in the thumbnail is so cursed🤣
12:39 joey: “thats nuts.” No no, joey. SEEDS. Theyre seeds.
“I knew” JOE
OH JOE LOOKS GOOOOOD THIS WEEK
I'm an outlier. I did not at all vibe with this episode.
you guys should bring becca and the kids on the podcast as special guest!!!
Maybe it’s just where I’m from but my mom used mayonnaise in my hair for lice. Smelt awful and didn’t work 😁
We have to make sure Frank knows all the kids should have the same rules. Everything he's worried about happening to his daughters, some other parent is worrying Miles will do to their daughters. Treating them different will lead to resentment between them.
I completely agree with you on this logic, however, isn't Miles his stepson? Because if so, he has to be careful on how he parents him especially if Miles' bio father is in the picture. As a former stepparent, that is hard. So to an extent, and heavily depending on the situation, he kind of has to parent him differently than his daughters. But again I completely agree with you
The lack of excitement from Joe any time he talks about Missouri 😂 I’ll still be there in KC!!!
Me, a preschool teacher, trying to unwind after a rough week by watching TBY and nearly the whole episode is about kids. 😂😂😂 Lol loved it just the same though. 🩷 Please continue peppering in more serious and wholesome episodes like this. 💕
Did anyone else notice the sound difference between Joe and Frankie’s Mics? Frank is naturally loud and Joe is soft spoken. I had to keep turning frank down and turning Joe up to understand the dialogue. Ant - can we get a Mic check before they start taping? 🙉
Btw. Loved this content today!!
I loved this episode so much!
Whatttt is this thumbnail 😂😂
I really like the addition of ant in these episodes, it’s nice having another opinion or perspective on some things
as a child therapist, i LOVE hearing the boys talk about parenting this in depth!!
In like 4/5th grade, I had guy friends ride their bikes to my house and my dad brought home pamphlets about sex STDs pregnancy lmfaooo
need to get frankie a lowell spinners hat for the show in nov.... thinking.....
10/10 episode, no notes
This episode made me cry bc I love how healthy and open their conversation was about this.
Funny how Frankie, the actual parent of the 2 was the kid in the thumbnail lol
GOOD ANSWER FRANKIE!!! I AM 20 AND MY MOM RECENTLY ALLOWED MY RAD BF OF 7 MONTHS TO SLEEP IN MY ROOM - on the floor of course
Loved this episode
I would 100% get rid of the trampoline. I meant to say something about this. It’s really really dangerous to have a trampoline. I’m not trying to scare frank I’m act trying to help him. This episode was a W tho I loved it.
orrrr let him parent how he wants ?
i wasn't expecting a wholesome episode but i loved it so much lol
the thumbnail 😂😭
my mom also told me if i got pregnant she wouldn’t help me at all n that scared the shit outta me enough
men n women r truly so different cuz i facetimed my friend while buying a new vibrator yesterday n gave her a review
Wholesome. Love it.
The parenting worries don't stop when your kid is an adult. I've got a 31yr old son and a 26yr old daughter. I worry about them probably more than I should. So a little advice... Call your mom and let her know you ain't in a ditch dyin somewhere 😉😄
I agree with Frank this was a good episode. Watching Joe and Frank be dads at the same time is gonna be BANANA PANTS man 😂 I’m so excited
I could listen to the parenting stuff for hours
I love that you guys are coming to St louis but went to go buy tickets and they were SOLD OUT!! :(((( Will have to catch you next time you are in stl!
i am one of those who took a bath in ketchup. not by a skunk, a hotel’s pool had chlorine and turned my hair green when i was a kid. parents got bottles of ketchup and lathered it on my head, it worked lol
Me and my wife lost our week old daughter (Kaydence) a few years back. And honestly it has changed me and my wife’s parenting habits entirely….She passed away from RSV. So every little cough, fever, stubbed toe, etc. Is amplified by a million. It’s our curse to carry but don’t ever be ashamed of loving your kids. Becuase you never know when it might be your last chance… two days after she passed I seen “idiots of the Internet” on FB. Been here with Joey ever since. Wierd connection. But he brought me some joy in a dark place…. Much love everyone! Thanks for reading. Sorry for the long one
watching this while doing a ten hour drive
1) Still waiting for Joe to get in a shark cage for 30k patrons 2) As my body developed, I remember male family members making comments and I never felt safe around them because of that. I felt like I always had to hide myself around them and try not to be noticed. 3) I had a boyfriend whose step-father would make fun of him for not being sexually active. My boyfriend’s sense of worth was directly tied to being sexually active, which was directly perpetuated by his male role model, and then directed at me in the form of pressure to have sex with him. How you talk about sex with your sons and your male friends MATTERS, so thank you for having these conversations now.
This was such a good episode
Ant needs his own camera
ngl I felt like the script was too long last episode, and with dissecting it this episode... it's a lot
This episode has made me THAT much happier I chose not to have kids.
Dude! I only have one- turns 13 this year. Let me tell you, the worry never stops. Is he making good friends? Are they treating him well? Is he treating others with respect? Are his teachers being mean? Is he being rude? Will his friends try to get him to “hit the pen” (I’ve scared him into thinking that it can cause serious side effects because of his ADHD meds) when he starts going to parties, will he trust me enough to call me instead of drink and drive or get in a car with a drunk driver? What if he’s responsible, everyone is sober, but a drunk driver hits him? Will he come home each night or will a cop knock on my door? What if I think he’s safe if his bed, but he snuck out? And if he goes to college, he might not even come home to me where I know he’s safe? I love my son, obviously or I wouldn’t be concerned, but if you don’t have any and don’t plan on having any- your life will be on a completely other level of peace and calm. On one hand- a love that compares to no other and it consumes you fully in the best of ways. On the other- you just worry about yourself, and get to live for you.
If yall don't add ATL Gawgia what it do fo ya to your tour im gonna blow a gasket. We showed yall so much love ❤️🖤 woof woof woof
Agreed! Had so much fun last year at ATL show ❤️
If you got a dream catcher they were probably First Nations, I’m glad you respected it and kept it 🫶🏾
My friend group is entirely too comfortable with each other. It’s mostly jokes but there’s almost nothing we won’t talk about sexually. 😂🤷🏻♀️
Congrats, you have officially made the most disturbing thumbnail yet
The thumbnail kills me everytime omg
Watching this eating a hotdog
Sometimes the podcast is just Frankie interrupting everyone 87% of the time
And you know what, I love it
Frank said mayonnaise correctly twice.
Funny (now) at the time if I could have balled up into myself and disappeared I would have. When my boyfriend now husband and I got together I was 14 turning 15 and when we first had sex (sorry TMI) one of my friends thought it would be hilarious to type up a letter and mail it to my boyfriends Mom and tell her I was pregnant and trapping her son. Ok mind you none of that was true. So when I tell you my first time had a traumatic effect it ended with Myself and my boyfriend having a sex talk with his dad at the dinning room table. A person I only met twice before. I contemplated if I liked my boyfriend enough to stay or end it right then and there. Flash forward 22 years together and married for 15 with 5 kids but let’s just say my kids will never have that experience.
My daughter is 8 and I get nervous letting her go to her friends house down the street to play. Because what if the dad isn’t a good person and does something. That’s where my mind goes. Ugh. Being a parent is both terrifying😩 and amazing🫶🏼
As a parent of a 5 year old boy it’s so hard to navigate because obviously the fear of boyfriends/girlfriends staying the night is sex/pregnancy/drinking but at the same time this can all happen not in the home but at the same time you don’t want to let your kids do whatever they want SO HARD
I loved how serious this episode got about shaping our children into good men and strong women.... anddddd now i wanna call my parents and tell them how much i love them lol
the thumbnail is terrifying
I was the youngest child and there is a significant age gap between me and my older siblings. I honestly think by the time I came around and started doing wild stuff, my parents had given up. 😂
As a parent and the oldest sibling, there is so much care stress haha
This was so good - my mum and I have been talking about being a parent, I look back and we can both agree now that sometimes she was right, but others farrrr too strict… but try telling a single, Indian catholic, mum of 3 not to be so strict with her oldest (only) daughter lol, I get where she was coming from now I’m grown!
I really hope this podcast is still going when Joe becomes a dad, I would love to hear his philosophical side come out when giving his thoughts about parenthood
I would've loved to have a father like Frankie he seems so safe
That’s like 800 calories for a whole bag of seeds 😅
Them doing an impractical jokers skit would be PHENOMENAL
Great episode!!! I love the silliness but equally love the great conversations among 2 friends. Very Whiskey Talks- but sober realizations. Also am curious what Joe would do if any of Frank's kids or his own nieces/nephews came to him with the stipulation of "don't tell my parents".
What a fantastic episode! Love when the boys have these philosophical conversations. Keep it up!
Come to buffalo!
My youngest sister is at this age (18) where she hangs with stupid people in empty parking lots and always feels like she needs to fit in somewhere. But wont listen to anyones advice. She ended up getting pulled out of her vehicle last Saturday and punched in the face repeatedly by a girl. Claims it was for no reason. Says she went to the parking lot by herself. But ill text her and let her know I’m there for her and she leaves me on read. Its like…. What more can ya do for them. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Super frustrating
I’m so sorry, that’s so crappy. It’s so hard to want to help and protect your siblings, but they just insist on going their own way no matter what.
I screamed when I saw the cover art
Can’t wait for the KC show!!!
anyone who went to one of the previous shows can you let me know how long they usually run?
Loved this episode. Different side to the boys
I think we need a tour of frankies piss and seed filled car....
I heard if you rub breast milk on your eczema it clears/reduces the inflammation. Its properties mimc similar to hydrocortisone cream apparently 🤷♀️😂
As a mom of a 13 year old sleepovers are wild lol. I let my son have a max of 5 because honestly it’s all I can handle and I regret instantly because they are loud messy and don’t wanna settle down lol. My 13 year old still enjoys going to his friends house to sleepover and having his friends over. I personally would rather be the house where his friends come on over cause at least Ik where my son is and what they are doing lol
I agree! I’m not a mom (yet) but I’d much rather have my kid in the house rather than someone else’s—unless they’re related or we know the parents extremely well. today’s world sleepovers are a thing in the past! Ugh sleepovers were the best honestly
As much of a comedy podcast as this is, I REALLY enjoyed you guys getting serious and having this parenting discussion. Frank showing some vulnerability with how he’s raising his girls warmed my heart. Love you guys keep it up and throw us a serious episode like this every now and again, it’s nice.
i don't think a lot of texas roadhouses have peanuts on the floor anymore due to allergies but i could be wrong
I know the ones in MS don’t have them on the floor anymore. There’s a little metal shell bucket at your table for them now.
The parenting conversation is probably one of my favorite conversations the guys have ever had, especially being a new mom 🩷
shoot the movie.
1) texas roadhouse peanuts comes in bags now. 2) bathing in tomato soup is suppose to help the skunk somehow becajee you’re not suppose to get wet. idk about that one. 3) washing your hair with mayonnaise is for lice.
You guys need a PO box and do an episode per month opening Fan Mail
the texas roadhouse near me stopped giving peanuts bc they started getting mice lmao. anyway who going to chicago show
Yessssss I’m so excited lol
Haven’t even started the episode but the thumbnail has me crying lmao
these thumbnails get scarier every time
I know I love it 😂
I love Friday baby!
step 1 : don’t have kids if you won’t support them possibly being lgbt
Love the 4am drops while I’m at work. I needed something to listen to
Yay!!!!
When Becca found the twin towers book while packing >>>>>
Everyone wish me luck on my pharmacology exam this morning 😭
Good luck!! ♥️
Mad early!
Happy Friday!!
