Frank & Friends Show 0046

Frank’s friend Sarah Roberto is filling in for Kathryn Frady. Sarah says that everyone knows Jody Collins, the artist who designed the Frank & Friends Show logo. Frank finally met Jody in person on April 8 at the Friends of Literary fundraiser. 

Sarah notices Frank’s freeze-dried tortoise Mo. Frank recaps the sad story of Mo’s demise and trip to the taxidermist. Frank had to get accustomed to Mo’s fake eyeballs. Sarah thinks Mo should have a TikTok account. 

Frank needs to find a First Communion gift for his grandson Artie Rocket. Sarah can’t remember her First Communion gifts. Frank thinks all of the suggested gifts in the catalog look like the brick-a-brack that an old person would have. 

Frank wants to give Artie a book about beheaded martyrs, which Sarah thinks is a terrible idea. Artie once had a school assignment to cut out a scarecrow and color it. Artie cut off its head and glued the head to the scarecrow’s hand to make it look more like the Headless Horseman. 

Sarah was afraid of the animatronic Chuck E. Cheese characters when she was a kid. Frank’s friend Amanda Marr took her son to Kentucky to see a restored display of the Showbiz Pizza animatronic characters. 

Sarah asks what Frank’s grandchildren call him. He says “grandpa” which Sarah thinks is old-fashioned. She says kids need to call their grandparents by a name they can pronounce. Frank says his grandsons have excellent diction because they like to command Alexa to play their favorite songs. 

Last summer, Frank made a Spotify playlist for Artie. Sarah loved making mix CDs of downloaded songs. She would also record songs off the radio. Frank used to record TV themes by holding a microphone to the TV speaker. Sarah wants to get back the mix CD she made for her first husband. 

Frank was invited to a men’s poker night at the home of a well-to-do doctor. Frank doesn’t know how to play poker and the host offered to provide an instruction flashcard. Frank enjoyed the party and the conversation with the other men but was relieved to lose all his chips. 

Frank used to know a few card tricks from the magic kit he had as a child. Sarah is okay with magicians but is afraid of clowns. Frank enjoyed watching clowns at the circus. 

Sarah says some people are afraid of costumed mascots. Frank’s grandsons went to a kid’s birthday party where some costumed characters were hired to appear. Charlie Rocket said he hated the “big head” people. Charlie avoided them until it was time for the birthday girl to blow out the candles.
