Frank & Friends Show 0075

Frank Murphy’s friend Jody Collins is today’s co-host. He is the graphic designer who created the Frank & Friends Show logo. Jody’s design company is Feral Giant and can be found online at https://feralgiant.com/ 

When designing the F&FS logo, picked up on a Vegas in the Smokies theme. Jody enjoys seeing the logo on a beach towel. Frank paid for an extra file of the logo with enough pixels to use on the merchandise. 

Frank will soon appear as a guest on Jody’s Ramblin’ Man podcast. Jody asked if Frank was okay with an open-ended conversation. When they recorded it, Frank stayed for five hours until Jody ushered him out. 

Frank asks if Jody is often asked to do his work for free. Similarly, Frank is asked to emcee events for free. Jody has been on thirty non-profit boards. Frank wonders if he can get Jody to replace him on the Marble City Opera board but Kathryn Frady claims to want Frank on the board for life. Board members are expected to make a monetary donation to the charity. 

Jody likes to smoke cigars with his guy friends. He says it’s forced relaxation with conversation. Frank rarely relaxes and has very few guy friends. 

Frank used to think that cleaning the pool was relaxing like a zen garden. Recent rain storms made cleaning the pool more difficult. Frank’s wife Jere doesn’t want him using the 16½ foot aluminum pole to clean the pool during thunderstorms. 

Jody loves sweets. His friends know of his love for Oreos. Frank is known for his love of Marshmallow Peeps. They both receive lots of memes and other links about their favorite treats from their friends. 

Jody has tried many novelty flavors of Oreos. Frank asks what Jody thinks of pumpkin spice Oreos. Frank would rather have a pumpkin-pie flavored treat instead of a pumpkin-spice flavored treat. 

Jody thinks Pop Rocks Oreos are a bad idea. There was a false rumor about Mikey from the Life cereal commercials dying from eating Pop Rocks. Frank and his classmates knew the rumor was false because the actor who played Mikey went to the same grammar school and they saw him everyday. 

Frank wonders how Jody feels about Oreo-flavored things like ice cream and how he feels about deep-fried Oreos. Jody likes deep-fried Oreos but didn’t like deep-fried banana pudding. 

In 2011, Frank recorded a YouTube video about deep-fried banana pudding at the Tennessee Valley Fair which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/Kw1xI6f52cI 

Jody asks if Frank remembers the Oreo Big Stuf. It’s not the same as the Oreo cakester which is more like a cream-filled snack cake. 

Jody learned about Carvel Ice Cream from listening to a Kevin Smith podcast. Frank’s father used to tell him about the original Carvel store on the site where Tom Carvel’s ice cream truck broke down. Frank once saw Tom Carvel in person at an ice-cream eating contest in Tuckahoe, New York. 

Frank thinks that the molds for Carvel’s Fudgie the Whale and Cookie-Puss would be used for different designs by rotating the mold before decorating. Frank likes salted-caramel Blue Bell ice cream. 

Jody made Oreo lasagna. The recipe is online. It consists of layers of crushed cookies and cream cheese. Frank tells Jody about the Elvis “hot dog” that is really a banana with peanut butter, marshmallow sauce, and chocolate syrup. 

Frank asks if Jody has heard the famous Casey Kasem outtakes. Jody tells Frank about a recording of Paul Anka losing his temper and shouting, “The guys get shirts!” Frank sent the Casey Kasem blooper to a comedian friend whose dog had died.
