Frank’s friend Tala Shatara is filling in for Kathryn Frady. Tala is the host of “Living East Tennessee” on WATE-TV and the author of the book Finding Plan B. Frank will be on “Living East Tennessee” on Friday.
Frank is mentioned in chapter 8 of the new Missy Barrett book, The Case of the Thoughtful Thief by Elyse Bruce. He will read the chapter aloud on Thursday, April 28 at 3pm in the King Family Library, 408 High Street, Sevierville, TN.
Frank was in the FBI Citizens Academy with Tala’s father. He once asked if he could bring Tala for a tour of Frank’s radio studio. Tala wonders if her parents were too pushy. Frank points out that broadcasters love it when young people are interested in their careers.
Frank has three of his fig cuttings on display in the background. One is Brown Turkey, one is Celeste, but he doesn’t know the third variety. Frank got mad at a squirrel that was digging in one of the fig pots. Some critter took a bite out of a fig leaf.
Frank and his wife Jere watched some Biblical shows for Easter. Someone posted a link to every time Anne Baxter says “Moses” in The Ten Commandments. They were watching Jesus of Nazareth on The Roku Channel and saw a commercial for a bikini trimming tool.
Tala hits the “skip ads” button on YouTube videos. Frank looked into buying a YouTube ad. He would only be charged when a viewer watches more than half of the ad.
Tala notices digital ads for products she’s been thinking about. Frank wonders if both the human and the AI are picking up on the same clues to think about a product.
Tala says Instagram speaks her love language. She watches pranks on TikTok but hasn’t made a TikTok video. Frank got caught up watching reels of products being manufactured, such as wire hangers, which reminded him of the movie Mommie Dearest.
Frank ate his “emergency Peeps” that had a use-by date in 2017. They were a little stale but otherwise edible. He had been saving them to toast over a fire.
