It's A Frank-ly Hairy Podcast

Welcome to the forest!

Your host Frank Weber discusses relatively obscure topics that are truly worth talking about, even if nobody else will. Through humor and educating on what these are topics are really all about, he intends to use nuance, history, and critical thinking to broaden and deepen the understanding of each issue. While a solo podcast for now, Frank intends to add conversations with others later to this weekly, bite-sized podcast with new episodes every Wednesday morning. frankwebertx.substack.com

    Episode 100: Let's Celebrate Together

    Frank celebrates the 100th edition officially of It's a Frank-ly Hairy Podcast today. Outside of being grateful for this and your listening presence, along with further mention of where he would like the show go in the future, he talks about his new home and some of the many move-in quirks he is now dealing with. There have been several pleasant surprises not evident on showing. On the other hand he wonders why there are so many keys and two different garage door openers. It will take him a while to find (and learn) everything there is to know about the new place, which will include the new podcast studio. He also questions the home inspector profession for being "overkill" just like many other things in our society. Near the end of the show, he reiterates his message that using the Golden Rule, or just being kind as well as making people laugh is quick and cheap. The world would be so much of a better place if we could just do this, and see others as much like ourselves. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 99: Enough with Your Ads!

    Episode 98: What Do They Really Mean?

    Today, after some initial commentary on the news and more on moving, Frank shares a number of stories about strange interactions he's had with people throughout his life. He always wonders if there is another message behind such events, rather than just personal problems from either side. He then wraps up his show with a brief tribute to the late Robert Duvall. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 97: Searching and Thinking

    With another shorter show this week, Frank tells you why humanity wants and needs to pursue more abstract, non-testable values like truth, beauty, and justice that lead to different ways of thinking and conducting our lives. There's nothing wrong with the research realm, but it can't discover everything we need to know in life. By the way, he does give a brief obligatory mention of the Super Bowl as it just happened, but no extended commentary. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 96: You Say You Want Us to Do This?

    This week Frank tells several stories for you, his audience. One is that he's moving soon and this has awakened nostalgia for an old movie classic. Another involves governments and their various social engineering experiments only to have the government somehow not accommodate citizens in completing those initiatives. After a brief discussion on how government officials weirdly view their budgets instead of efficiency and saving taxpayer money, he talks fondly of Canyon and how it's changed laced with a tinge of lament. Rest assured, humor still abounds. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 95: Short Sweetness

    In on one of the shortest episodes in a while, Frank talks about whatever he can think of, ranging from the recent winter malady to "other" road hazards to player issues now in college basketball to another "forgotten" classic comedy movie. Take a listen. You'll be out early! www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 94: Important Topics Du Jour

    You'll want to tune in this week for Frank's deep and varied comments such as those on timeless themes in "classic" movies, Indiana winning the CFP, the NFL Playoffs' first two rounds no longer being named correctly, and the madness in Minnesota of late. The last topic, while not discussed politically, gives pause on MLK Day for peaceful protests and a real form of love. Then, and maybe most importantly, Frank discusses how love in all its various forms can be found nearly everywhere every day in small packages. It's not always overt or romantic, but instead depends on our frame of mind, and our thoughts or willingness to look for it. He also talks about humanity as one, big family that is really the same with varied similarity and from a common origin. This should bring us more together and help us experience life the way it was meant to be. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Get full access to Life's Comedic Odyssey at frankwebertx.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 93: Life Connections through Pop Culture and a Local Commentary

    On this week's episode, Frank breaks down both the human life/condition and societal lessons from a most unlikely source--a classic B movie loosely connected to his unpublished novel. You can indeed learn some things from pop culture and other art, especially comedy, with an open mind. To conclude the show, he gives his heartfelt take on the closure and potential move of a true Canyon, TX gem--The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. www.frankwebertx.substack.com www.frankwebertx.com @frankwebertx Thanks for reading Life's Comedic Odyssey!
