hey guys I'm Frank so there is no one behind the camera right now because the guy that's behind the camera is sitting next to me so you've heard me mentioned Sam I've mentioned him in a whole bunch of my videos um he is the The Mastermind behind the camera he does all the editing um he is the the other half of the Fridays with Frank franchise so our our 50/50 franchise is 50 this half 50 that half and uh this is him you're way you're way more popular than me though it's just because I'm I'm in the front yeah that's that's sort of the the name of the game around here that's it so guys this is Sam hey guys I'm Sam SS I am the uh the uh the creator of Fridays with Frank um the series was kind of my idea after doing a couple random rideal alongs with Frank and uh I have shot all 100 some episodes in count I don't even know how many episodes we're on every week I go to YouTube and see what episode I'm on cuz I I don't know how many it is but it's it's a lot and still counting that's it and so so while we're here um Sam said hey look I'm I'm the creator of this so I um I was I was V and told to ride along with the guy uh to make a a more or less a public Outcast of information for texting and driving that's how this whole thing started um but how did it start on your end like how did this how did this hit your desk so I think if you've been tuning along to our sort of origin story stories of Fridays with Frank uh my side of the story um that you've already kind of heard was basically so we're doing a texting driving video the way we do that is we reach out to the traffic Sergeant say hey traffic Sergeant can we ride along with one of your guys and do a texting and driving video so your boss at the time volen told you said hey Pio is going to be in the car with you and we didn't know each other and so we hung out we did that video um that was the one with with minivan karon I don't know why be so me and who's now a fan who's now a fan somehow and uh that happened and it was hilarious and we put it on the internet got a bunch of views and never planned on doing another episode of anything with Frank again we decide we want to do school bus stop arm violations so again reach out to the traffic sergeant again I didn't ask for Frank but Frank's boss volen told him hey you're on with Pio again to make a video about school bus stop arm violations so right again that school bus there that had the red sign out that said stop that's an instruction for you to stop so that children can cross the road and again it was it wasn't as cool as the minivan Karen video but it was still pretty good like good stuff really funny stop with some lady who didn't have a driver's license and um pretty pretty cool video turned out but while we were doing that we were doing other random traffic stops that had nothing to do with anything and as we were doing these random traffic stops I was like this guy's this guy's this guy's kind of funny not to the left like the wheels in my head start turning and I say I think maybe maybe we should try to do a series with this wasn't thinking weekly I was thinking let's try it a few times um I think when we first did Fridays with Frank we did I think we did three weeks in a row just cuz we wanted to have a series to do three weeks in a row but we didn't plan on doing every week for six weeks or whatever the heck we're at at this point uh that was not the plan um but yeah the wheels in my head started turning and we we sent it and I think I think that the traffic Sergeant sent it to me because I was the newest guy on the unit so was like rookie Duty and like all right new guy uh pio's with you and I I think that's how that happened is I just I ended up just being the I was The Rook uh into the unit at the time so I think that's how that's how I got so which is kind of fortuitous because it's led to that well it's LED I I have a I have a tumbler now in a coffee mug a mug yeah we have that going on yeah so I mean it's we we've gone from random traffic stops for texting and driving to uh my own Tumblr and and a hat with my name on it so well I think if it wouldn't have been you I think the runner up if I could if I could have my choice it would be schmidlin schmidlin is Schmidlin's freaking hilarious on camera he does not like me but I've already told him that he's under ARR I know I wonder why you're such a kind hearted Soul if you haven't seen his videos he's made multiple cameos and Fridays with Frank he was he was Frank's replacement in the April Fool's video that people don't know is in April Fool's video years later years later what's up Frank you're going to need these so how like how do you know how do you know what to do with cameras and video and lights and stuff like um I spent uh I have a journalism degree from the Walter cronite school at Arizona State um and I did a bunch of freelance jobs in Phoenix for a while I ended up going down and I worked in local news for 12 years so um I'm a local news reporter uh by trade like I was the guy in front of the camera um I actually uh left that position um I actually left that position without a plan in life like my contract was up and uh they offered me like a little pay raise and I was like nah I don't really feel like doing this anymore so I left that position and basically as I was leaving I was reached out to somebody who was leaving the Sheriff's Office and just sort of got recruited by friends of friends or whatever and uh this person recruited me and uh went and met the sheriff I I didn't know who the heck Mark Lamb was at the time so i' go online and watch some videos and stuff and learn who he is and um I go interview with with Mark and and a couple of his Chiefs and I didn't know who any of them were and they're like yeah so you want to work here I'm like yeah sure let's let's let's give it a shot and that was in 2019 so we're we're still here and we're we're still having fun I've literally over the course of 12 Years working in in news and then doing other things in college and whatnot I've literally pointed a camera at thousands of people in shot interviews like literally thousands I was thinking about it like as a local news reporter you're probably shooting like at least three interviews a day times 5 days a week times 52 weeks a year like it's thousands and thousands of people I've pointed a camera at and and you know people are generally not fans of that but as I'm as I'm shooting video with Frank I'm like this guy's like this works like I could I could see it because I've done it thousands of times so that's you know Frank never signed up for this this wasn't him trying to do this but I could tell right away after with with my experience I mean my last job like I was actually one of the investigative reporters I was writing all my own scripts and I was actually doing you know some interviews with people who didn't want to talk to me because I was doing investigative stuff um but I definitely uh I I I could tell when somebody works in front of the camera there are people who speak for living um there are you know teachers and pastors and people who literally speak for a living to people in sometimes big crowds of people and they're terrible on camera um but when I was talking to Frank like it's just natural like there's Charisma there and then just the interaction on traffic stops was just kind of funny I mean you know having you know that that silly little stop of of that guy in one of the First episodes making that left turn and getting us stuck at the red light you know just completely unprovoked he walks up to the car he like hey that feel kind of weird sitting at that light like that yeah cuz you're not supposed to do that yeah that feel kind of weird sitting there in that left turn lane for two cycles of light yeah it's cuz you're not supposed to do that you're supposed to pull right parallel to the rightmost curb so your driver's license please that was just Frank being frank that's before I even know knew Frank was capable of talking to people like that and I was like we need a series I really love working I I love going to work um I've been described as a workaholic and I love you are I I am like Frank's off days he's always talking about like the off duty jobs he's picking up like he works non-stop meanwhile I'm like um you should learn how to golf or something sounds terrible sounds like that you'd have to pay for that and it's that doesn't the opposite of working yeah you're you're losing money instead of making money why would you want to do that it sounds terrible well I mean you must have some Hobbies though right I I hunt and actually I'm leaving uh in 4 days I'm going to San Diego on a fishing trip um I got a but of mine that's a um DJ in California he invited me on a fishing trip so um so that I will take time off for I will take time off to hunt and I'll take time off to fish I am looking to hunt every once in a while he's not working yeah but I'm hunting or fishing and if not I'm working okay what you've created here possibly in opposition to popular belief um you are the creator of FR of Frank like guess is 100% your brainchild it's funny that you're trying to give me all the credit for Fri Friday with Frank but really I think if one person really deserves credit for Fridays with Frank it's there people like burglarizing around right now it's time for you to take responsibility for what you doing shout out to Min van Karen thank you mini van B here for for starting all of this it's kind of her fault and now but she's apparently come around like she's messaged and she's she's now a fan of the show so it's okay I mean she's she is just the first of hundreds more people to be put on the internet since then so you're over here you're like Sam where where did you come from a lot of people want to know Frank where did you come from like what I think everybody knows you're from New York and whatnot but but what's what's sort of your origin story what made you want to do this and how the heck do you end up here so I actually started um and and I I learned this from my mom this isn't my personal belief but as a lot of you know my as a commercial fisherman um so in the commercial fishing World um people steal commercial Fisherman's gear um crab traps or or con traps or Blowfish pots or whatever it may be they steal that that gear either to use for themselves to resell um as a like a quarrel between fishermen um whatever it is so when I was young my mom it it this has been an issue for as long as there have been commercial fishermen um and I'm sure I I speak my opic just from the South Shore of Long Island but I'm sure that anyone with a family in commercial fishing anywhere on the coast probably knows that it's probably true in their area also um so my mom told me that when I was very young that um she wanted she told me or I told her that I wanted to be a police officer to catch the people that were stealing my dad's gear um so that's what that's what Mom told me that I said um and then i' I've never wanted an office job like I never wanted I never wanted to sit in a cubicle in an office inside um so I in high school you know you take those aptitude tests and those all those aptitude tests said I should be like a game a game Ranger or park ranger or game warden um so I've always like I've always been a hunter I've always been a fisherman so I thought that being a being a game warden would be really cool like you can be a cop um and in New York the game wardens enforced uh a lot of the commercial fishing laws within New York state so we dealt with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation or DEC um which is who I ended up doing my internship with when I was in college um but DEC were game wardens that would check fishermen they check Hunters um they would do anything that had environmental law um and then also commercial fishing so it was they kind of did everything it was an amazing agency um so I went I did my undergrad I went to Maine went to Unity College real small environmental school um and I I went to be game Wen um did my undergrad there did my internship with New York DEC um got out and I realized that they have the best job and they have the worst money so um they they just don't make any they don't make any money for the for the amazing job that they have um so being a deputy sheriff was kind of a good middle ground of still being outside still being in rural areas and talking to Hunters and fishermen and stuff like that um and being in law enforcement so I kind of was able to find that middle ground of being a deputy sheriff and um then I really took a liking to motor vehicle law and it's just kind of grown from there as I'm sitting here I'm looking at the camera screen and I could see behind me and there's an Emmy sitting on the desk behind me just like a normal house there's an Emy here um so this Emmy belongs it actually has your name on it Sam Salo on there so that one's yours that's so this is the uh the 2022 2023 Rocky Mountain Regional Emmy Awards Public Service Announcement single spot Samuel Saul's way to panal County Sheriff's Office stopped camping in the left lane I stopped you because you were driving in the left lane I've actually been nominated for four Emmys now um this was the first one we won but um got nominated for a PSA campaign a couple years ago breathe it in start breathing normal year before this one I got nominated for um uh another PSA campaign my name is Misty and this is where my 17-year-old daughter Kay died and crime content based on some of the ridealong videos I do we ended up taking this guy into custody plan worked out perfectly so I don't just ride with Frank all the time like pretty much everything you see on the Sheriff's Office YouTube and Facebook channels it's all me like the left lane camping videos like I put those together um so we don't actually people think like we live together people think oh there's Frank Sam must be there like no no we we ride together like one day a week if that sometimes half a day a week every once in a blue moon our schedules align and we'll do two days a week um which is another reason why uh you don't get 8 Minute fulllength YouTube extravaganzas every week it's not happening um people think that that you want longer traffic stops you want me to leave you don't want me to leave in more there are a lot of traffic stops after the initial contact so Frank pull somebody over I get out I shoot it and if the person's like really polite and compliant and like they're violation is you know just whatever it's a speeding ticket um Frank goes back to the car they're polite whatever it's boring I don't even record him giving that person the ticket cuz I'm we've missed some stuff there though every once in a blue moon once in a blo moom we we missed it because after FR goes and gives a ticket I'm like okay that would have been kind of funny to record um but it's really really rare cuz you can pretty much tell in the first 5 10 seconds of an interaction like this is good traffic stop this one's going to be good because it's all based on like it's almost like the show's not even really about Frank it's about the people he deals with like people are just their minds are blown by what exists in the universe um because what exists in the universe is especially for me because I I'm not a cop Frank's been doing this for 20 years I'm a I used to be a TV news reporter and now I'm a civilian who rides around at a cop car and for a living for kind of for a living like I I call myself a professional larper um it's accurate uh if you're not familiar that's a liveaction role player it's sort of a derogatory term for people who like get all tacked out and they're like just civilians who think they're cops or military or whatever but I actually get paid to sort of do that um you wear a vest I I do I do I I do I wear a vest like I have a ballistic vest that I wear at work um I've been in some situations that I'm like yeah I'm glad I have a vest on right now go out the car put your hands up uh I mean there's that one stop on I 10 where you had the rifle pointed at at that guy you know it's it's a stolen vehicle and you've got a rifle pointed at somebody and I'm like I a camera I have a camera and I'm glad I have a vest on right now and I'm like there's an engine block between me and that person I feel good about that cuz I know that the engine block is the only part of a car that stops bullets I I I have that much training uh in how weapons work at least um but yeah i' I've seen some been around I've been like a bunch of pursuit uits with our interdiction guys um I was in a Pursuit with one of our Patrol guys uh randomly on patrol in Santan Valley one day where somebody ran from a traffic stop and it was the the car was full of guns and fenel um so i' I've yeah yeah go figure um so yeah I've I've been around for I've been around for for a lot of stuff but no I'm not actually a cop so I am surprised by what these guys deal with still y yeah it's it's crazy that even in this this video series um like we've we've shown just little clips of it and people like I can't believe how patient you are like this doesn't test your patience at all compared to dealing with you know DVS where you're back at the same house for the you know the fifth time in a month or you know crazy child abuse cases where you're looking at you know stuff that happens and you're just frustrated that you can't take as much action you know as you on you like that's that stuff gets you know really tries your patience but traffic stops are that's the easiest thing I deal with well the the funny thing is people are like how do you deal with that well the secret is we think it's hilarious like we laugh so much so like when you think that oh man Frank should be really annoyed by this no it's hilarious it's hilarious and I think it's hilarious and yes the camera shakes sometimes like like the uh the one of them we did recently um the uh what was it sometimes you got to man up and swallow that just came out of my mouth I just I so he did that so in that episode he said that and if you watch the video you notice immediately sometimes you just got a man up and swallow it we switch the dash cam view of of that interaction that's cuz I'm laughing so freaking hard that I that had to be cut out so that's why two cameras going cuz I can edit between the two we had a guy on MCG that I arrested for Dy after that whole reckless driving thing who got out I probably identified as a different gender and called you a weirdo weiro and you also laughed at that one you actually laughed out loud at that one it was yeah that was that was great that was that's another one where people like oh how do you handle this you handle you're internally he's trying not to laugh and he's come back to was like dude I was trying so hard not to look back at you cuz I know you're laughing at this right now like yeah I am like like I think it's funny too like if you notice everything about this show like like we we put it out and I made it like intentionally kind of silly like it has Silly music on it it's like Fridays with Frank and like red white and blue comic Sands font like it doesn't look like nothing serious like it's not serious um every once in a while it's been serious and you know we we we put it out there but that's that's been sort of the the Mantra since day one that like you know let just do traffic stops and have fun with it like having minivan Ken with sad violin music and then it just and then happy music with the sheriff uh first uh violation is $75 to $150 he's giving warnings people are happy yin and yang that's the story the story of your life but I I really do I have as much fun off camera as I do on camera with these um and it's I I just I thoroughly I enjoy the ability to to go and contact people and talk to them and have fun conversations on the side of the road and like now that I'm recognized more and more I have even better more positive conversations and take which are really boring by the way like I put the positive contacts on they don't perform well like the analytics they just don't perform well people want to see you arresting somebody for going 121 mph so right now you're under arrest is awesome or they just want to see somebody being wildly crazy with their logic of in what pregnant condition you can and cannot drive wait you're pregnant you're not supposed to be driving that's what I was told you're not supposed to be driving if you're pregnant like that's what people want to see they don't want to see be like oh Frank I love frank like no like you don't want to see that all day it's it's not it's not going to do well they happen I mean it's they happen with Sam or without Sam and and it's when other people come and and ride along with me whether they're um you know other members of the law enforcement Community um you know other reporters or or other people that pretty much that the sheriff designates that come and ride with me um but they can't believe how many people sto me at a Circle K or at a qt or you know at at lunch at Chick-Fil-A and you know interrupt my lunch to to take a picture with me or you know just stop and say oh my God I saw your car outside I can't believe it's you you know all these all these different things but like those are all each one of those builds this like bridge for law enforcement and we all get to go over it together so it's pretty cool he can't he can't he can't pump gas without without somebody wanting to take a picture with him it's it's ridiculous and it's and I completely understand the Ridiculousness of it he's a traffic cop like no no one likes traffic cops nobody likes traffic cops no nobody want get like you're a traffic cop you're not like out there solving sex crimes like you're giving people speeding tickets and somehow you're a protagonist of an Internet Series so we understand the absurdity of this and everybody at the Sheriff's Office thinks it's absurd and we roll with it it's funny and a lot of it comes from the the staff the command staff at the sheriff's office that is okay with putting out what we do and accepting all the good and accepting all the bad I mean there there are trolls there are trolls that that absolutely hate me people just hate me but for every message that I get that says that I'm a terrible human being I get 50 or 100 messages from all over the place that are like hey I I love how you handle people I love how you talk to people you know I'm I'm a cop I use the stuff that you say on my traffic stops it works great hey I'm in you know British Columbia hey I'm a I'm a cop in Yugoslavia I you know I'm a cop in the UK um we love your stuff you know so those terrible people that are trolls on the internet that probably go home and smack their wife and kick their dog like those terrible human beings um their opinion doesn't matter to me because I I don't I don't value them as a person so I don't value their opinion it's it's kind of a stoic philosophy that I that I live by um now if Mark Lamb told me that hey I was doing something wrong or my mom said hey you probably shouldn't do that I think I'm going to write him a ticket for this all right I would take a a Stark look at things um in a much more different manner than some troll that probably lives in his mom's basement um and you know and just wants to say mean things because he can through the internet and would never say that to my face so so every once a all people like oh man it must be so cool you get to be a famous cop by being in this internet series like is it really that cool like I mean there's there's some downsides to it yeah yeah there's some there's there's a lot of downsides I mean I'm I'm a victim listed by the FBI and a ton of cases of people with whether the threats are significant or not but that have sent those threats to the Sheriff's office or to me personally um and that have come from out of town and I forward those to the FBI and and they investigate them as as appropriate um but there's you know that my privacy has gone to almost nothing and nobody's complaining no no it's and I I get that a lot I get well you know it's what do you think about it you know and and how does it feel look it's it is you know I didn't ask for this like Sam said this this is just something that kind of happened and I've been along for the ride and now it's grown into this and now that it's this I uh I just kind of embrace it I embrace the good and I embrace the bad and um but it's it's definitely it's it's a balance it's it's it's it's a different life I have now than I had four years ago so just to clarify uh people ask me like what does Frank think of all this Fame and deep down inside I like I think he I think he likes it um but uh but he doesn't mind people walking up to him at Circle K and and taking photos uh there's there's nothing wrong with that he'll be on a traffic stop and so his red and blue lights are facing traffic behind and somebody pulls up behind him so there's just like a regular car there and less visibility for somebody to come over schmuck him on the road like don't park behind him on a traffic stop don't pull up beside him and grab something on your passenger seat that you want to show him like like it's still a dangerous world out there people generally like us but there's also the possibility that it's someone that doesn't so I mean if if it's one of those things you see me out there I'm on traffic stop um I'm pretty I'm pretty cognizant of seeing people around me um you know if you go down the road a little bit and pull over or you if we're in a parking lot if you kind of park down a little ways and kind of get out of your car and stand there like I'll come over you I'll finish up what I'm doing finish my traffic stop release the Violator close out my stop so that dispatch knows that I'm done with it and then yeah I'll absolutely I nine times out of 10 if there's not something else going on um I'm going to come over and and talk to you and and kind of see what you're doing yeah when if you're if you're in a tactic tactically safe position away from us and you stop and you get out of the car you're looking at it's like like he gets the hint like we literally will finish up what's going on man cuz obviously we can see you're to take a picture which happens all day every day by the way taking a picture the find Frank Facebook group for the record no we don't run that nope not at all like do totally organically happened and when it start when it first happened we thought it was the funniest thing in the world um since it's taken off and it has 30 some thousand followers since it's taken off uh we've actually reached out we've met the admins the admins are not trying to be public but we we know who the admins are and they're super cool super supportive no that's not us it was not our idea that just happened which is that's just citizens it's just citizens um we talked to to one of the admin and they just said hey we we just wanted something positive out there they have started a um they've started a movement I mean there are people all the time that take pictures with me and they're like I got to post this on fine Frank you know or I can't tell you how many times a day I hear I found Frank like it is it is in the panal county culture um to to find me um while I'm at work and it's all because of that group and and a just a group of pro law enforcement admins that wanted to do something nice it's kind of cool really a lot of this motivation for for doing the Fridays with Frank it did stem from a bigger philosophy where Sheriff lamb said said to me you know get in a cop car and make videos you know make us look good make the profession look good and during that process happened to find somebody who was kind of funny um but but it really I mean Sheriff lamb is really smart he's ahead of his time he has me on his payroll um and he's had a civilian Video Creator on his payroll for before me I'm the I believe the second person in my position uh the guy before me was also really good uh it's actually a buddy of mine Danny borrow he also won an Emmy for a PSA with the sheriff's office so so hiring talented video creators is something that's been something Sheriff Lamb's done for a while now and more and more more and more law enforcement agencies are doing it law enforcement agencies are hiring civilian TV news people generally to do social media for them and sometimes those stories create heat or enhance you know troll activity um and the and the The Command Staff the the upper level they're okay with that they're okay with taking that flak from people they're like hey you know tell the story of law enforcement and sometimes stuff that we do isn't pretty I mean it doesn't mean that it's wrong it's just it's it's just not pretty but we we still as an agency tell that story and I think they give you the ability to be as creative as you want oh it's it's very rare that so every everything I post is is sent up the food chain and everything I send up it's very rare that something comes back where I'm told like ah you need to cut that part out very rarely so when you have someone on there that doesn't know anything about anything and they're telling me that I'm violating a law or I'm violating a policy um which they know nothing about they literally speak from a Pulpit of ignorance on that um I think it's a Pulpit of misn knowledge is a little bit of both yes yeah I feel like that's a pretty gross generalization spoken from a Pulpit of misn knowledge that one yeah little little bit of misn knowledge also yeah um they they don't um they don't understand that our my boss's bosses bosses boss has looked at this video from beginning to end said yes this is good to put out and represent the agency and and put it out I think that a lot of people just think that you're there like hit a hit record and then get back to the office and you're like on the internet okay there's got to be more than that little little little little bit more than that um so I mean like I'm actually really OCD about every frame of video um like every shot is color corrected uh every shot like I mess with the audio you know put the subtitles on like I design all the graphics like that Fridays with Frank and Frank walking across the screen and the badge revealing like like I built all that stuff from scratch and then every shot is I enhance the color in it um and just do a ton of stuff afterwards that by the time an episode of Fridays with Frank hits the internet I've seen it 50 times and I'm really sick of his voice like it's like his voice just lives in my head for hours and hours and hours um and so there's just there's just a lot of a lot of really nitpicky details and and maybe that is why there is a portion of the internet that thinks this is all a conspiracy this is all stage yeah yeah there's there is there is a portion of the internet that thinks that I am I'm an actor um and that I'm not a cop uh that I don't work for the agency and that all of this is fabricated because um because of the stuff that we put out and the stuff that I say and how I say it and and uh you you can't even make you can't even make this stuff up you can't make up the stuff that and that that we that we end up shooting it's it would take the most wild writing to to to even make it up so I I'm I'm flattered that some people think that it's Hollywood you know I think that that speaks something about about my my level of work I I guess well the other side of things is you also do that as your side job yeah right like you have a whole side business of building websites and doing video and yeah like after yeah after work I do that too like I have my my company is called Sky Island creative um so Sky Island creative.com that's that's my my side business and you know I've got a a plumbing contractor I'm working with I've done videos for uh fast food chain up in Phoenix just finished doing a recruiting video for a financial tech company um Friday frank.com doing I I I I built Fridays with frank.com um so yeah I do all this stuff on the side what's cool is the sheriff is overtly supports his employees building businesses um one of our deputies has a garage door company um another one of our deputies owns a restaurant in coolage like we and the sheriff encourages it because he doesn't want to hamstring anybody from wanting to work there um he and he's an Entre he is an entrepreneur at heart he was a small business owner before he um before he got into law enforcement um it it is in his nature uh and so the idea of of having a Fridays with Frank t-shirt and a Fridays with Frank um challeng coin and hat and Patch all of that was he kind of planted that seed um of that of this business um that that I started of this of of this Venture so he is um he is incredibly supportive I think it's it's yet another thing that separates him from other bosses is he is okay with um his employees branching out and and trying to be better and be bigger and make a name for themselves outside of the law enforcement profession because eventually we're all going to retire on the topic of Fridays with frank.com um the what we put on there between the YouTube Tik Tok Facebook Instagram merchandise is right here that's it that's we it's the two of us it's an experiment that was was pretty stressful like is this is this going to work this is this is all right so it's an experiment that we're that we're working on um but it is a it's a small operation like like some people have have place in order and they get like a like a handwritten postcard that says it's from Frank that's because it is from Frank it's me it's it is from me um so we've seen Mom on my uh on on one of the episodes and mom actually helps me pack those packages is that that learning curve learning curve yeah like like that so if you've ordered a shirt um there is a incredibly high probability that my mom folded that shirt and put it into the bag uh that you got it in um so all of those are packed at my house uh so we pack them I keep all the merchandise there and every day or every other day I pull the orders we sit in a room and we talk about our days and um that's our time together while we sit there and and hang out together we pack packages and I print the labels out and then I hand deliver everything to the post office and then it gets shipped off to you guys so yeah it's it's a small art like even even answering emails people are like hey uh you know question about an order and then Frank responds like is this really Frank he it's me yeah it's really Frank yeah a lot of people said like man Friday's the Frank needs an me2 we're working on it um I used to believe in not jinxing it
