Frank Somerville Unfiltered - Part 1

Remember We We Had To Wait?

Remember when you couldn’t just Google the answer? When you had to wait for your favorite TV show, develop film to see your pictures, or call someone’s house and hope they were home? In this episode of Unfiltered & Slightly Annoyed, I take a trip back to a time when life moved a little slower. From dial-up internet and paper maps to cassette tapes, video stores, and actually being patient, we look at how much the world has changed—and whether all that convenience has really made life better. It’s a nostalgic, lighthearted conversation about growing up before everything became instant, and why maybe waiting wasn’t always such a bad thing. ⸻ I think it fits the nostalgic style you’ve been going for with the podcast while inviting listeners to think back to their own memories.

Tickets, Fees, and Ruined Experiences

Remember when getting tickets actually meant something? You’d camp out, stand in line, maybe even make a day out of it. Now you sit on your couch, hit refresh 47 times… and still lose to a bot. And if you do get tickets? Congratulations—your $75 seat is now $163 after “processing,” “service,” and “we felt like it” fees. Today we’re talking about ticket prices, hidden fees, and how convenience completely sucked the life out of the experience. This is Unfiltered and Slightly Annoyed.

Yes, Becoming a Millionaire Is Still Possible

A lot of people believe becoming a millionaire is out of reach these days, but a study by Ramsey Solutions looked at more than 10,000 millionaires and found a very different story. In this episode of Unfiltered & Slightly Annoyed, I break down some of the biggest findings from the study—how most millionaires actually built their wealth, the role of retirement accounts, income levels, habits, and why becoming a millionaire may be more ordinary and achievable than most people think. If you’ve ever wondered whether the American Dream is still alive, this episode is for you.

Nobody Owes You Attention

In a world where everyone is posting, sharing, reacting, and demanding to be seen, it’s easy to believe attention is something we deserve. But the truth is — nobody owes us a listen, a follow, a reply, or a platform. In this episode of Just Say It, we talk about the difference between seeking validation and earning respect. From social media outrage to everyday conversations, this episode breaks down why authenticity, value, and honesty matter more than chasing attention from strangers. Sometimes the hardest truth to accept is also the most freeing: you stop performing when you realize nobody owes you applause.

Just Say it

How many conversations have you avoided because the timing didn’t feel right… or because you were afraid of what might happen after you spoke up? In this episode of Unfiltered, Jason dives into the uncomfortable truth about honesty, communication, and the things we leave unsaid. Whether it’s telling someone how you really feel, standing up for yourself, apologizing, setting boundaries, or finally chasing something you’ve been overthinking — sometimes the hardest part is simply saying it out loud. This episode explores why people stay silent, how fear controls conversations, and what can change when you stop rehearsing life in your head and start speaking honestly. Real talk, relatable stories, and a reminder that clarity is almost always better than regret. Because sometimes the words you’re avoiding are the exact words you need to say.
