Yep I do NOT watch TV other than news and documentaries, rarely stuff outside of that. Malcolm in the Middle rates right up there with That 70s Show and THE show when I was in my teens, Miami Vice. Frankie sounds well balanced and like he is a decent person. Good for him.
this is the nicest comment ive seen here 🫶 i relate heavily. always so happy to see frankie. he has a band (he’s a drummer), they tour sometimes so maybe check it out!
i met him a couple of times. I worked in stores he'd come into often. And he is very nice and polite and outgoing. I've even gotten jobs at different places and he comes in there to buy something and he is very nice in the same way not knowing im the same employee from the other store he goes too. So I think he is definently doing fine and healthy.
It’s crazy seeing this dude at 35, he was basically a second family to me growing up, everyday same time After school there he was with his family every time
Same, I wanted a family of brothers so bad lol. Got one little brother and i remember thinking to myself “you gotta be cool like Francis and not a Reese” but now i know he was also a burnout lmaoo
Frankie's description of old memories being hard to distinguish reality from dreams is, I think one of the most self aware things that a person can say. There are so many problems caused by people acting as if their memories were perfect imprints of reality
To add onto David's comment, when you remember some shit that happened you're really only referring to the last time you tried to remember it, and your brain doesn't actually recount the actual event. Idk if this works for traumatic experiences, but seems plausible to me. (I'm not an expert, honestly I'm just some dumbass repeating shit smart people told me once, like doctors and eggheads of the like).
Some people just have better memories than you lol. I know mine aint perfect but I remember many details most people dont . Many clear memories from 2-3 years old and up
@@RR-fb3xd I'm happy to assume that my memory is terrible and work with that assumption... Do you have proof that your clear memories are accurate? To test yourself, we write down a description of something that you remember then find an external record to check how close you were
@@davidpretorius2984 i know its accurate cause i ask adults specific questions and because I’ve visited places i hadn’t visited since then and still know where everything is. But im aware most people cant even remember things from recent days
such a great show, i felt like it was a lot more realistic of what growing up middle class is actually like versus the usual shallow happily ever after crap you usually get. not to mention it was completely hilarious!
They are covering up his late stage dimensia. Dude the guy cant sit still and is slurring. Half his face is broken. All starting from the strokes I know it sucks, but sometimes people go too young.
Always told myself if I ever got famous (God forbid...), I'd do it the same way as Rick Moranis or Frankie. Make your name, get your bag, and get tf out. Don't overstay your welcome and let fame completely wring you out.
I wonder how many drugs he's taken. You have normal memory loss over the years. But not being able to tell what was real or a dream. Sounds like brain damage. Which drugs would do that.
Frankie was a part of one of the best, yet tragically underrated, sitcoms of our generation. I'm happy to see that he's a genuine happy and healthy family man now. Thanks Steve-O for giving him the platform to speak his peace.
All love to you friend, but Malcom in the Middle is not "underrated." From Wikipedia: The show received widespread critical acclaim from critics and proved a popular draw for the network. It has been placed on several lists of the greatest TV and sitcom series of all time.[1][2] It won a Peabody Award, seven Emmy Awards, one Grammy Award and seven Golden Globe nominations.
@Chad Guess hey man, I'll agree that Steve-O might not be totally relevant with the current generation, but for someone like me who grew up with him, I'm happy to see Steve-O is living his best life.
@@williamfaber1506 okay I will give you that. I didn't intend my statement to come off as objective. I meant that in a subjective way. Not many people I know personally loved the show like I did or remember it that well.
They don’t print retractions on the first page typically, ya know. People just care about the initial cool crazy thing not the details of it, even if the initial impressions were completely wrong.
Awww man Frankie Muniz, brings back a lot of fun TV childhood memories from Agent Cody Banks 1 & 2, Malcolm in the Middle, Big Fat Liar, My Dog Skip (cried at that movie), and had a fun cameo in the Harley Quinn series. BUT, If you want to see a serious role that was also tragic check out Frankie in Criminal Minds… one of my favorite episodes and he did it so well!
He most definitely interrupts all the time, it's like my only pet peeve of his podcast. BUT I still think it's great and agree he gets people to open up better than some other interviewers/hosts.
I’m glad to see a child actor embrace the way people see him, and not be bitter and cold to the fans who still see him that way. So many of the actors who had roles in TV shows, try so hard to push the that part away, and berate fans for admiring them for the part they played in their younger years. Good on ya Frankie. Your a real one,
Right? As an entertainer, to get mad at people for appreciating something you did that greatly impacted their childhood... just seems so conceited, and douchey.
Got to meet Frankie in like 2012 when my band opened for his band's tour in Douglasville,Ga. When he talked about himself being rather 'shy' and 'not hollywood' he wasnt kidding. Very chill guy who obviously doesn't want hella attention and just talks to you like you'd meet any other band guy you're playing a show with.
Independent media is killing it this year, though. Mainstream news had me thinking the same thing they said, before I just saw this. Steve-O has a cool little show here.
@@swagmcgee920 Aw Man! Really? I haven't watched Steve-O's videos in a while but I remember the last comment I left him.

It so good to see Frankie Muniz here like this, he is so himself and vibrant! When I read that article I was heartbroken, glad to see he's living happily!
I’m glad all of you are still in touch with who you really are. What a down to earth group of people. I absolutely loved this and glad Frankie is doing good and healthy!!
I understand what he means when he says hes done so much shit he cant remember everything im the same, ive done so much I cant remember every single moment only the really really important ones
Same I thought I was going crazy cause it's getting harder to remember my past like I used to. Unless I really focus but even then it seems to have more of a dream like effect
@@daviddelacruz7496 your missing my point on empathy and people using weed as a scapegoat comes from bad faith, but your also providing another critique. All we know about Frankie is during his childhood. Because of that we hold some bias expectations of him to share those memories with us.
Used to love watching Malcolm in the Middle as a kid but it’s 10x better watching it now as an adult. It’s a masterpiece. The cast are phenomenal and the writers are geniuses!
there is so much stuff I loved in the early 2000s and watching it now, most of it did age badly. But my appreciation for Malcom in the Middle legit grew watching it again recently
I remember reading about him having tia and because I have the same type of migraines I was like I wonder if that's what he has. I'm am glad that's what it actually was.
I'm so glad he's actually ok, Malcolm in the middle was a huge part of my childhood and life, and as human being it was bittersweet to rewatch the show sometimes because of what I heard.
WOW,.. Frankie concentrated so heavily on filming his own parts that he never ended up watching the rest of the show. He has NO IDEA that Malcolm In The Middle is the best show ever made. It was my favourite when it was screened, and it was my favourite 20 years later when i watched it with my kids (who insist on re-watching over and over!) Watch it when your kid gets older Frankie,... you'll be blown away by how well written/performed it is.
Imagine you're really good at sex, would you want to watch yourself having sex? It's the same way with movies, the actors who are fans of their own films can be pretty creepy.
God, hearing and seeing the excitement of him just being able to talk and have a normal conversation is really heartwarming. I'm sure it was an awesome experience on all accounts!
People having the entirely wrong story and thinking thinking that hes dying of seizures seems like the most Malcolm in the middle Thing that could happen to him
Yea the memory stuff he’s describing sounds kinda normal tbh. If you were working at a deli 20 years ago would you remember many of the individual sandwiches you made? That’s all those episodes were to him, the only difference is that all of it was filmed. It’s be weird if he did remember some random scene he did 20 years ago
Malcolm is such an unappreciated sitcom. Going back as an adult and rewatching it was so good. The writing was phenomenal, the acting was amazing and it just felt real. I remember wanting to be like Frankie as a child. Agent Cody Banks, Big Fat Liar and Malcolm, it’s nice to see a child actor be successful as an adult for once.
they hit the sweet spot as a family that's a little crazy, but not too crazy. ridiculous and real. i feel like everyone's family is a little nutty, which is why it was so relatable.
I met Frankie when he was drumming in Kingsfoil maybe 8 or 9 years ago down in Douglasville, Georgia at the 7 venue and he was one of the most humble celebrities I've met. The band I was in at the time ended up sublining them. Cool to see him doing well, always thought those rumors were kind of bogus given how cognitive and well spoken he was when I met him.
I met steve o at 8:33:23 pm on october 3rd 2009 at the venetian hotel (3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109) and he was pretty cool I guess kind of scary ngl
Part 2 please! Bring him back!! I would love to hear more! He’s so interesting. I’ve rewatched Malcolm in the middle ATLEAST 5x . Can never get bored of it
almost every episode Literally didn't really like the end one when the mom Lois, freaked out and told Malcolm he was gonna be president. lol Like I never looked at Malcolm that way lol
Wow, it's rare when you get to feel really good about being really wrong. I loved the show and am so happy that he's got a reasonably normal, stable life.
You weren’t all that wrong. He’s lying here. I remember once that he admitted on tv that his wife has to keep a diary scrapbook for him showcasing their vacations and she has to explain the stories because he doesn’t even remember going to them. His long term memory is far worse than he’s playing off here
@@TheKing-qn9uc No, he's not. He explains that at 8:44. It's just the same situation as anyone keeping a journal. You remember things better when you record them in a journal and then go back and read it.
Growing up in the early 2000s and watching Malcom in the middle with my family before bed was the icing on the cake. Even if Frankie doesn't remember very much, we will never forget.
I kind of feel the world has Gaslighted him into thinking his memory is worse than he thinks it is since how he describes it here, his memory isn’t any worse than your average person
Yeah, I can't tell you most things in my life unless something randomly jogs my memory. I think thats the normal. Who needs to recall June 5th 1997, 4pm on demand?
Well, it does sound like he remembers much less than the average person. But that might simply make sense, considering he was pretty young at the time and his mind couldn't afford to remember most of it. It needed to focus on being a kid. Now, in my case, I remember almost nothing of my entire life, not even things from just a year ago. So that might be something bad that could turn into a degenerative disease, or maybe it already is. It's possible that Frankie has something like that too, if he can't remember a lot of what happens in his adult life.
Best pilot I’ve ever watched in my life. Makes me so sad how much time has gone by. I was a latchkey kid without cable watching this on the WB. Miss those days so much.
It’s like remembering the third grade for a normal person. We all know we went to third grade, but we don’t remember every little detail of being in third grade.
So good to hear Frankie's doing good and got a solid life together! Too many child stars end up going off the deep end its really sad to see these kids that you grew up with and idolizing turning into something they regret.
As a kid not having cable TV Malcolm in the middle was quality entertainment. I have many memories watching this show with my siblings. I would be transported into the shows world because the family was very relatable for regular people. We even had some of the same items in the shows house.
We all know people like on the show or have people in our own families like on the show. That's why it was such a big hit it nailed the average family relatable aspect perfect. We don't need supermodel women and action hero type men on a show to want to watch it. Just like with Rosanne when the characters are relatable it often is more successful show over star power and good looks. Malcom in the middle cast were mostly no name actors before the show.
Malcolm in the Middle was an absolute favorite show of my adolescence. A total GOAT sitcom which still hold up to this day. Thanks for having Frankie on the show, such a fantastic guest!
We need more of these people getting the attention they deserve. Tired of endless addiction talk, as if the only option in life is to become an addict.
Its good publicity, no media outlet is going to get more clicks about an actor doing great in life than about an actor going into a downward spiral, it's more entertaining 🤷
One of the local TV stations where I live has been playing Malcolm in the middle reruns for most of the year so my kids have been watching it and falling in love with it as well. It's great being able to share this with my kids, thank you Frankie for all your hard work!
Great thing about Frankie doing Malcolm is that he brought a lot of himself in the character. So 20 years later we get to see our boy every time we see Frankie.
I wouldn't laugh so hard at his memory but it's good that he is working on it. He seems like such a good guy... You made part of my childhood and I'm 32. Thanks man.
How have I JUST found this?! So glad you interviewed Frankie! I feel like he fell off the face of the planet after years of seeing him everywhere on screen. Great podcast!
So happy Malcolm in the middle is on disney+, and it's really good to see Frankie still doing well in life. He seems happy and in times like these, it's just great to see.
The way Frankie talks about just living in the moment and having the “bad memory” is exactly how i feel, i just dont know how to deal with it or think about it 😂
my girlfriend and i literally finished watching every season just last night, was awesome to re watch from being a kid. Frankie damn near looks the exact same but grown!
I'm excited to see Frankie again and that he is living a really good an happy life, here in Latinoamerica is an icon and so much people like me growing up watching Malcolm in the middle. 👌❤️ Thanks for the interview.
Wow...I just finished re-watching every season with my brother after all these years. The nostalgia is bitter sweet. I so wish Malcom in the middle would make a come back, one of the best comedy shows of all time without a doubt
I re-watched the show on Hulu again during last year lockdown and it was definitely a walking down the teenage nostalgic days. But I think it's better the leave the show it is. Im just worry that the comeback series will be another fail attempt on comeback. Beverly Hills 90210 tried and failed
This is hilarious, I read about him a couple weeks ago while I was having a malcom in the middle marathon. I felt depressed after reading but after seeing this I feel relieved and happy for him 😂
Finding out how Frankie has been doing is something I've needed for a long time. Most people thought he went crazy with the memory loss rumour. I just wanna know what made him wanna be a Nascar Driver._.
Now I will not advocate for speeding down a highway at 130 mph do not do that. But one day go to a track event. Get in a car and go 145 150 mph for the first time in your life in a safeish inviroment and then tell me that was not the best drug you ever had in your life. Shit even going 60 in a funny car on a dirt track is one of the absolute best times ever!!!
It’s crazy how time works for us. When you start a new thing, like a school year or a job, every day seems very long and you remember what you’ve done. As time goes by doing the same thing the days almost seem to blend together to where your 2nd year seems like it went by as fast as your 1st month. I can totally understand how doing the same show for a decade you could forget a lot of specifics. It’s like we measure time by accomplishments sometimes, the more you believe you’re doing the more you remember and the time feels well spent.
Yooo, I have ocular migraines too. The memory loss/fog is REAL. Forgot who my 6 month old was for 5 minutes, then remembered, and it scared the shit out of me. Had to stop my previous career cause I was forgetting too much/having migraines with sudden blindness. Glad you're doing well, fam
This honestly just confirmed that Steve O will have a big Joe Rogan sized future in this, if he sticks to his current formula of the right guests, in this case that haven’t been heard from in a while, while also giving them room to make it their show. Blessings our friends on this podcast. To many more. - JAW$

It's aged relatively well, highly watchable in 2021.
10/10 show
Malcom and Bernie Mac were both amazing. And no laugh tracks either.
It was amazing
The fact that Frankie Muniz looks like Jesse Pinkman makes the alternative breaking bad ending even better.

Dude , this guy is my whole childhood , seeing him all grown up makes me happy, feels like running into an old friend…
And doing so well, especially for a child star.
me too it actually freaked me out for a second because i felt like i was seeing a childhood friend for the first time in years hahah
this is the nicest comment ive seen here 🫶 i relate heavily. always so happy to see frankie. he has a band (he’s a drummer), they tour sometimes so maybe check it out!
Your whole childhood? 😂 Calm down bro
😂😂
This is great because I was one of those people who thought he was in a horrible state of health. I'm glad to learn he's actually okay.
I've been following him on Twitter for years with some morbid curiosity of what a person with complete memory loss tweets about..
Well shit.
i met him a couple of times. I worked in stores he'd come into often. And he is very nice and polite and outgoing. I've even gotten jobs at different places and he comes in there to buy something and he is very nice in the same way not knowing im the same employee from the other store he goes too.

Seriously all of his podcasts are so comfortable
We seriously love you Frankie! I’m so proud to still be able to look up to you and how much of a genuine person you are! Thank you
Frankie could easily have played the part of Jessie Pinkman and it would have worked.

Would have given me too many malcom in the middle flashbacks 😅

Same I thought I was going crazy cause it's getting harder to remember my past like I used to. Unless I really focus but even then it seems to have more of a dream like effect
Yeag we all be on tv n I also smoke weed
@@daviddelacruz7496 your missing my point on empathy and people using weed as a scapegoat comes from bad faith, but your also providing another critique. All we know about Frankie is during his childhood. Because of that we hold some bias expectations of him to share those memories with us.
@@edgaribarria quit calling him Frankie it’s malcolm I think my memory is great
Used to love watching Malcolm in the Middle as a kid but it’s 10x better watching it now as an adult. It’s a masterpiece. The cast are phenomenal and the writers are geniuses!
Agent Cody Banks
@@ottercookiesottercookies394 why
Top 1 for me
Just rewatched all 7 seasons as an adult and a parent.
Watching it this time round has been so relatable🤣🤣
there is so much stuff I loved in the early 2000s and watching it now, most of it did age badly. But my appreciation for Malcom in the Middle legit grew watching it again recently
Bro looking like Jesse Pinkman a little bit lol 😭😭😭😭
Now that I think about it, him playing Jesse would've been FIRE!!
Him and Bryan Cranston 🤔🤔🤔
Go in the house!
Primm!! Your the black allstar bro. You messd up pootytang for me tho, i cant not see him as an abused child now.
Bro I was just thinking that lmfao
Thats what im sayn, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Draco Malfoy
Ah man he seems like such a nice, well rounded, down-to-earth guy. I'm happy for him, love the positive energy.
I'm glad he's living his best life. We love you, Frankie
I remember reading about him having tia and because I have the same type of migraines I was like I wonder if that's what he has. I'm am glad that's what it actually was.
Sounds a bit condescending I mean "living his best life" then you watch the video.
He doesn’t remember the past
@@LovelyGemini246 same here I get migraines that change my mood (not just from pain but actual mood changes) and cause visual artifacts.
I'm so glad he's actually ok, Malcolm in the middle was a huge part of my childhood and life, and as human being it was bittersweet to rewatch the show sometimes because of what I heard.
What did you hear?
@@roba.6419 I think they ment his memory loss, unless I missed which I don't want to know
This is so cool to hear I felt so horrible when I heard about him losing his memory.
Wait... heard about what now?!?
@@SilentKnightTime rumors where that he lost his memories.
Keep Rockn' in it
Not of it ! 👍🏻
Don't worry, he doesn't remember he has memory loss.
WOW,.. Frankie concentrated so heavily on filming his own parts that he never ended up watching the rest of the show.
He has NO IDEA that Malcolm In The Middle is the best show ever made.
It was my favourite when it was screened, and it was my favourite 20 years later when i watched it with my kids (who insist on re-watching over and over!)
Watch it when your kid gets older Frankie,... you'll be blown away by how well written/performed it is.
Rollerskating scene with Funky Town playing is 🔥 the full show is immense
He days in the clip that he watched it with his wife years ago on a streaming service.
Imagine you're really good at sex, would you want to watch yourself having sex? It's the same way with movies, the actors who are fans of their own films can be pretty creepy.
God, hearing and seeing the excitement of him just being able to talk and have a normal conversation is really heartwarming. I'm sure it was an awesome experience on all accounts!
Yeah I love the show and how stevo structures it
He's made an astounding recovery 🤕
@@corncobjohnsonrealhe had bad headaches…? Did I miss something?
Born 86. Grew up on his show. Glad to see he's doing good and made it to adulthood. We've all seen what show business does to younger kids.
Awesome to see that he seems like a pretty cool guy and the childhood fame doesn’t seem to have wrecked his life.
I love how they are all so open to relate to each other. Watching celebrities talk with each other like this is oddly humbling.
People having the entirely wrong story and thinking thinking that hes dying of seizures seems like the most Malcolm in the middle Thing that could happen to him
yeah now that you say that, it does.
It definitely does lol
Just makes sense 🤣
Kind of reminds me of the tonsil episode, where he is trying to explain that he doesn't need surgery, but the medical staff won't listen.
Yea the memory stuff he’s describing sounds kinda normal tbh. If you were working at a deli 20 years ago would you remember many of the individual sandwiches you made?
That’s all those episodes were to him, the only difference is that all of it was filmed. It’s be weird if he did remember some random scene he did 20 years ago
Malcolm is such an unappreciated sitcom. Going back as an adult and rewatching it was so good. The writing was phenomenal, the acting was amazing and it just felt real. I remember wanting to be like Frankie as a child. Agent Cody Banks, Big Fat Liar and Malcolm, it’s nice to see a child actor be successful as an adult for once.
Watching it again now as an adult I realise how amazing and loving hal and Lois relationship is too
they hit the sweet spot as a family that's a little crazy, but not too crazy. ridiculous and real. i feel like everyone's family is a little nutty, which is why it was so relatable.
Bruh I forgot about agent Cody banks and big fat liar but they were sooo good lmao memories
I don't think it was underrated, it was very popular
Underrated? It ain't Underrated, It's hard to find that forsure.
I met Frankie when he was drumming in Kingsfoil maybe 8 or 9 years ago down in Douglasville, Georgia at the 7 venue and he was one of the most humble celebrities I've met. The band I was in at the time ended up sublining them. Cool to see him doing well, always thought those rumors were kind of bogus given how cognitive and well spoken he was when I met him.
shout-out Douglasville
I met steve o at 8:33:23 pm on october 3rd 2009 at the venetian hotel (3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109) and he was pretty cool I guess kind of scary ngl
@@98Bafana Hell yeah bro, grew up across the tracks in downtown. Not the greatest area but made me who I am for sure lmao.
@@burglar7523 you don't know the second you met someone lol chill weirdo
Kingsfoil? That's a weed...
Part 2 please! Bring him back!! I would love to hear more! He’s so interesting. I’ve rewatched Malcolm in the middle ATLEAST 5x . Can never get bored of it
I'm happy to see him doing well. There's a time things were not going so well for him and now he is alright, a husband and a dad. I'm just like WOW.
Now hes hal lol
I'm glad he's doing well. I used to watch his show and it was always a riot. His little brother on the show would always crack me up.
Good old dewey

@@K_Rich7 forgot that was even their last name
Frankie made a iconic character playing Malcom i enjoyed every episode and the whole cast deserves a bow. Very entertaining show, well done.
almost every episode
Literally didn't really like the end one when the mom Lois, freaked out and told Malcolm he was gonna be president. lol
Like I never looked at Malcolm that way lol
So happy for Frankie! He has turned out to be an amazing person. Things can go so different in life and Hollywood. So happy he took the road he did.
Wow, it's rare when you get to feel really good about being really wrong. I loved the show and am so happy that he's got a reasonably normal, stable life.
You weren’t all that wrong. He’s lying here. I remember once that he admitted on tv that his wife has to keep a diary scrapbook for him showcasing their vacations and she has to explain the stories because he doesn’t even remember going to them. His long term memory is far worse than he’s playing off here
@@TheKing-qn9uc No, he's not. He explains that at 8:44. It's just the same situation as anyone keeping a journal. You remember things better when you record them in a journal and then go back and read it.
Frankie talks as if he has never been spoken to in his life, and he just wants to tell you about everything he’s ever thought of.
He talks like he's had 9 concussions and several mini strokes and has not taken his ADHD meds because he doesn't trust his doctors.
Literally sounds like me ngl
@@Treron_Sinclair based
I swear I was thinking that… can see alot of anxiety in him
Well steve o is genuine and he knows they actually want to know and not fill air time. This interview is fantastic!
Growing up in the early 2000s and watching Malcom in the middle with my family before bed was the icing on the cake. Even if Frankie doesn't remember very much, we will never forget.
Wow, this guy is so kind. I'm so glad to see this interview!!
He’s such a great dude man, glad I grew up in the generation that got to watch him.
Dude man guy
I kind of feel the world has Gaslighted him into thinking his memory is worse than he thinks it is since how he describes it here, his memory isn’t any worse than your average person
Agreed. I think it’s a narrative people want to believe.
Yeah, I can't tell you most things in my life unless something randomly jogs my memory. I think thats the normal. Who needs to recall June 5th 1997, 4pm on demand?
Well, it does sound like he remembers much less than the average person. But that might simply make sense, considering he was pretty young at the time and his mind couldn't afford to remember most of it. It needed to focus on being a kid.
Now, in my case, I remember almost nothing of my entire life, not even things from just a year ago. So that might be something bad that could turn into a degenerative disease, or maybe it already is. It's possible that Frankie has something like that too, if he can't remember a lot of what happens in his adult life.
Doing it for attention. Weird guy
@@automatedcomment yeah, he's totally been begging for attention... By not being in the public eye for years at a time
Best pilot I’ve ever watched in my life. Makes me so sad how much time has gone by. I was a latchkey kid without cable watching this on the WB. Miss those days so much.
Frankie was a really good guest he has a fun energy, good episode
It’s like remembering the third grade for a normal person. We all know we went to third grade, but we don’t remember every little detail of being in third grade.
“normal person”… bruh.
@@admshorts1760 Frankie is not a normal person. Dude has lived an extraordinary life.
@@HOTD108_ that's the point?
So good to hear Frankie's doing good and got a solid life together! Too many child stars end up going off the deep end its really sad to see these kids that you grew up with and idolizing turning into something they regret.
As a kid not having cable TV Malcolm in the middle was quality entertainment. I have many memories watching this show with my siblings. I would be transported into the shows world because the family was very relatable for regular people. We even had some of the same items in the shows house.
Lois is just like my mom
We all know people like on the show or have people in our own families like on the show. That's why it was such a big hit it nailed the average family relatable aspect perfect. We don't need supermodel women and action hero type men on a show to want to watch it. Just like with Rosanne when the characters are relatable it often is more successful show over star power and good looks. Malcom in the middle cast were mostly no name actors before the show.
Facts!
The fruite lamp shade over the kitchen table
its amazing how good an interview can be when you talk to and treat people like humans. loving this content.
Malcolm in the Middle was an absolute favorite show of my adolescence. A total GOAT sitcom which still hold up to this day. Thanks for having Frankie on the show, such a fantastic guest!
Frankie is a (rare) good example of a non-drinking non-drugging workaholic... and Steve-o and friends really brought it out well! Props!
We need more of these people getting the attention they deserve. Tired of endless addiction talk, as if the only option in life is to become an addict.
Its good publicity, no media outlet is going to get more clicks about an actor doing great in life than about an actor going into a downward spiral, it's more entertaining 🤷
Oh please he doesn't even remember a long time period of his life, who knows what he's been doing.
One of the local TV stations where I live has been playing Malcolm in the middle reruns for most of the year so my kids have been watching it and falling in love with it as well. It's great being able to share this with my kids, thank you Frankie for all your hard work!
Great thing about Frankie doing Malcolm is that he brought a lot of himself in the character. So 20 years later we get to see our boy every time we see Frankie.
The world needed this! Thank you Steve-O and Frankie!
Glad to see frankie is doing really well, i remember when he was in a local band in my hometown as the drummer for kingsfoil.
I wouldn't laugh so hard at his memory but it's good that he is working on it. He seems like such a good guy... You made part of my childhood and I'm 32. Thanks man.
How have I JUST found this?! So glad you interviewed Frankie! I feel like he fell off the face of the planet after years of seeing him everywhere on screen. Great podcast!
Glad to see Frankie's doing well. Malcolm in the middle is one of my all time favorite shows. So great.
So happy Malcolm in the middle is on disney+, and it's really good to see Frankie still doing well in life. He seems happy and in times like these, it's just great to see.
On Hulu too
Thanks dude
it’s on disney + wtf
The way Frankie talks about just living in the moment and having the “bad memory” is exactly how i feel, i just dont know how to deal with it or think about it 😂
100% can relate I can walk in a room and forget what I was doing
@@MrSideQuest95 especially after a few hot ones.
He feels so humbled and lost. Glad he has a family and a new start.
Frankie guided many of us through childhood. I’m glad he’s doing well
It’s So good to be able to hear people speak for themselves. Much love to you Steve-O. So good to see you doing well.
my girlfriend and i literally finished watching every season just last night, was awesome to re watch from being a kid. Frankie damn near looks the exact same but grown!
I'm excited to see Frankie again and that he is living a really good an happy life, here in Latinoamerica is an icon and so much people like me growing up watching Malcolm in the middle. 👌❤️ Thanks for the interview.
Wow...I just finished re-watching every season with my brother after all these years. The nostalgia is bitter sweet. I so wish Malcom in the middle would make a come back, one of the best comedy shows of all time without a doubt
I re-watched the show on Hulu again during last year lockdown and it was definitely a walking down the teenage nostalgic days. But I think it's better the leave the show it is. Im just worry that the comeback series will be another fail attempt on comeback. Beverly Hills 90210 tried and failed
Met him a couple years ago. Nice fella, very down to earth. Wishing him the best in life!
Did you invite him round for a bath and offer to scrub his back?
Best show growing up ever. Had the craziest nostalgia when I was able to re watch the early episodes years later.
I rewatched it and it was still as good it's just Hal is now the protagonist 😂😂😂
Its so good to hear he's in a good place! Seems a good chill person.
So glad that this was clarified. When I heard he lost his memory I felt bad for him but am glad it's not true.
Same I was so sad for years
This has been going around for so long, it's actually crazy how long it took for him to clear things up
For years I've thought Frankie was dying, lol. So glad to see he's all well!
This makes me so happy! I was one of those people that needed this clarification
This is hilarious, I read about him a couple weeks ago while I was having a malcom in the middle marathon. I felt depressed after reading but after seeing this I feel relieved and happy for him 😂
Where are you watching MITM?? I cant find full eps anywhere!
Finding out how Frankie has been doing is something I've needed for a long time.
Most people thought he went crazy with the memory loss rumour. I just wanna know what made him wanna be a Nascar Driver._.
Rusty
his love for cars. that’s literally it.
Now I will not advocate for speeding down a highway at 130 mph do not do that. But one day go to a track event. Get in a car and go 145 150 mph for the first time in your life in a safeish inviroment and then tell me that was not the best drug you ever had in your life. Shit even going 60 in a funny car on a dirt track is one of the absolute best times ever!!!
Getting poor and stupid probably had something to do with it
Who doesn't want to be a Nascar driver?
This guy was on all of our TVs back in the day. Very humbling listening to him speak. Much respect bud 👊
heinsbergs son
Well, hes got no reason to be pedantic, I mean, he's freaking "Frankie Muniz"...
He gave us his childhood. I mean the amount of times I watched big fat liar is sad 😂
@@randomdude189 he gave us fuck all. I hate him, both his dumbass character as well as his real life persona.
@@totenkopf30 You probably also hate yourself to be talking like this so makes sense.
Steve-O busts out the quiet greats on his show... love these interviews
I've literally have never seen Frankie do an interview. Atta boy Steve-o.
His wife journaling their relationship is just the sweetest thing
It’s crazy how time works for us. When you start a new thing, like a school year or a job, every day seems very long and you remember what you’ve done. As time goes by doing the same thing the days almost seem to blend together to where your 2nd year seems like it went by as fast as your 1st month. I can totally understand how doing the same show for a decade you could forget a lot of specifics. It’s like we measure time by accomplishments sometimes, the more you believe you’re doing the more you remember and the time feels well spent.
Yooo, I have ocular migraines too. The memory loss/fog is REAL. Forgot who my 6 month old was for 5 minutes, then remembered, and it scared the shit out of me. Had to stop my previous career cause I was forgetting too much/having migraines with sudden blindness. Glad you're doing well, fam
This is a great channel that I didn't know existed two days ago. Kudos to you guys for these interviews.
This honestly just confirmed that Steve O will have a big Joe Rogan sized future in this, if he sticks to his current formula of the right guests, in this case that haven’t been heard from in a while, while also giving them room to make it their show. Blessings our friends on this podcast. To many more. - JAW$
with that voice?
Yeah he's going to get that 100$ million Spotify deal 🤡🤡
Word
Rogan don't need no co hosts
@@TheBolt1992 howard stern made hundreds of millions with his corny ass voice. It's more important to have a distinct recognizable voice then to have the generic radio guy voice every other host has.
I'm so glad that this is cleared up. He is a great guy and I am glad he is healthy and is well.
"I've had a lot of concussions" he says to Steve-O, the King of Concussions
What a happy dude. Glad to see he's doing well.
