Where are my old-school R&B lovers? I got something for y’all! My 70s & 80s Old School R&B Mix is up NOW on my Frank Ski YouTube channel. I’m taking you from Prince to Michael Jackson, Kool & the Gang to Cheryl Lynn. The kind of mix that makes you say, “Hold up, what y’all know about THIS?” Play it in the house, turn it up in the car, or put your headphones on at work. Got a bar, club, or lounge? Put it in rotation and let the whole room catch a groove. ▶️ Go to Frank Ski on YouTube, hit play, and subscribe. This is the first of many mixes to come. Add it to your playlist and send it to somebody who knows every word! #FrankSki #OldSchoolRnB #70sRnB #80sRnB #RnBMix

“Frankly Speaking” 🎙️ “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” T.I. said hold up… what happens if I ain’t happy? He says “Happy Me, Happy We” If there’s no happy me, how can there be a happy we? He’s asking where his own happiness fits when everybody’s leaning on him. Then Ray Daniels said Some men spend their whole lives trying to make women happy, only to look up one day and realize nobody was doing the same for them. I feel like “Happiness starts Within” What do you think? I’m Frank Ski, and I’m just Frankly Speaking. @tip @raydaniels @royalabsurdities #FranklySpeaking #FrankSki #HappyWifeHappyLife #HappyWeHappyMe

What happens to male celebrities when they start making crazy money? You won’t believe the conversation that came after this, WOW! From my Frankly Speaking Podcast sit-down with Funky Dineva, he gets into unchecked power and why some people are always chasing that next high. Listen to what he says, then tell me in the comments. Does power change people, or does it show you who they really are?

Frankly Speaking 🎙️ If you own a spot, work the floor, tend bar or DJ, tap in. What are you seeing from the inside? Am I wrong or am I right? JUST MY PREDICTION, 1st Quarter 2027, 1 in 4 of the restaurants, bars and clubs you know could be closed! I’m in this business. I see the smaller staffs, the thinner inventory and the crowds that don’t come like they used to. Meanwhile, rent, lights and insurance keep going up. For some spots, December might be their last shot. And here’s what really has me talking. I’m seeing some of those same spaces reopen as Asian and Mexican restaurants. What are those operators doing differently to make the numbers work? I’m Frank Ski, and I’m just Frankly Speaking. #FranklySpeaking #FrankSki #RestaurantIndustry #Nightlife

Frankly Speaking 🎙️ DEMOCRATS, YOU WON THE ELECTION! NOW GET YOUR DAMN PRIORITIES STRAIGHT! Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, America didn’t vote for more political theater. We voted for CHANGE! People are struggling to pay for groceries, gas, and healthcare. Families are worried about what’s coming in January. Communities are demanding protection, and Americans want their government to start putting THEM FIRST! Do Democrats need NEW LEADERSHIP, or do Schumer and Jeffries deserve another chance? What’s more important RIGHT NOW: Going after Trump or fixing the problems affecting everyday Americans? I’m Frank Ski, and I’m just FRANKLY SPEAKING! 🎙️ #FranklySpeaking #FrankSki #DemocraticLeadership #ChuckSchumer #HakeemJeffries #Politics #Accountability #AmericaFirst

“YAY, WE DID IT, EMMIE! WE DID IT!” ❤️ Those six little words made last night even more special for me as a father. My daughter Emerson is only 7 years old, but she’s been one of Keisha Lance Bottoms’ biggest little fans throughout this election! Last month, Keisha came to our home for my Frankly Speaking podcast, and Emerson was so disappointed she didn’t get to meet her. Two weeks later, we hosted a fundraiser for Keisha, and just before bedtime, Emerson came downstairs in her pajamas and finally got her chance! Ever since, every time we passed a Keisha Lance Bottoms yard sign, Emerson would yell, “YAY! KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS!” 😂❤️ Last night, while hosting and DJing Keisha’s election night celebration, I asked her to send Emerson a message after her historic victory. “YAY, WE DID IT, EMMIE! WE DID IT!” PASSION BEGINS WITH PARTICIPATION. Our children may be too young to understand politics, but they’re never too young to learn that their voices matter and that anything is possible. My little girl now has a personal message from the woman who made history as Georgia’s first female governor and America’s first Black female governor. I don’t know what Emerson will grow up to become, but I know this moment planted a seed that could last a lifetime. Parents, never underestimate what our children are watching, learning, and dreaming about. Sometimes the seeds we plant today won’t bloom for another 20 years. Congratulations, Keisha Lance Bottoms! And thank you for making my little girl feel like she was part of history. #KeishaLanceBottoms #FrankSki #EmersonRose #RepresentationMatters

Frankly Speaking 🎙️ Today is Election Day, Have you voted? Are you going to vote? I’m tired of hearing the excuses. “My vote doesn’t count.” “Voting doesn’t change anything.” “Why bother?” Does your money stretch as far as it used to? Does your dinner table look the same? Are you traveling, going out, and enjoying life the way you used to? And while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, President Trump is building a White House ballroom to entertain his rich friends This election isn’t just about ONE MAN. it’s about the people, allowing him to have the power and giving him the money to do the things he’s doing that’s been so destructive to our country I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Send this post out to everybody you know! I’m Frank Ski, and I’m just FRANKLY SPEAKING! 🎙️ #FranklySpeaking #FrankSki #ElectionDay2026 #YourVoiceMatters #LetsTalk

Frankly Speaking 🎙️ ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PREPARED? WHAT DO THEY KNOW THAT WE DON’T?! Countries around the world are urging their citizens to prepare for emergencies and stock up on essential supplies. Meanwhile, reports about the Pentagon’s “Operation Fortress” and military bases preparing for extended disruptions 90 DAYS WITHOUT POWER OR WATER? And with growing tensions involving Iran and concerns about possible cyberattacks on America’s infrastructure, should we be taking these warnings more seriously? I’ve already had the conversation with MY family. We’re getting prepared! WHAT DO YOU THINK IS REALLY GOING ON? 🎙️ I’m Frank Ski, and I’m just FRANKLY SPEAKING! #FranklySpeaking #FrankSki #AreYouPrepared #EmergencyPreparedness #90Days #NationalSecurity #LetsTalk
