Just a Guy being a Dude - Meet Frankie Zayas, the guy behind the voice

Hey guys, first time blogger here. Just wanted to re-introduce myself to those who don't really know me, and for first time listeners to the pod. Here goes nothing.
My name is Francesco Zayas, named after my grandfather on my mom’s side. But you can call me Frankie, Frank, Brother Frank, Fimbo, honestly whatever. I am sure the internet has called me way worse.
I was born in The Bronx, New York. Lived there for 14 years before moving to East Stroudsburg and becoming a PA boy. I have very fond memories of The Bronx, playing hockey with current Yankee Andrew Velasquez (NBD) bike riding to Yankee Stadium in the summer to watch games, The Bronx Zoo, Orchard Beach, Little Italy (fuhgeddaboudit) The list could go on and on.
By no means were we well off, but we weren't poor either. My dad worked his ass off, and still does S/O superman, to make sure me and my siblings lived great lives. There was one thing he had a lot of though, his love for sports.
From a young age I can remember trying to play everything, if it was something I could compete in, I was all about it. So naturally, watching pro sports came to me early on as well. Not only did my dad give me a great childhood, but he raised me right. Giants over Jets, Yankees over Mets (that one is pretty obvious) Nobody roots for the Islanders unless you're from LI and I was long gone by the time the Nets got to Brooklyn.
Just like everything in life, not all things are created equal. This is my own personal ranking on sports I like to watch/best the most.
1.NFL
2a. MLB 2b. Golf 2c.College Football
3a. NBA 3b. College Basketball
4. NHL
I am definitely not trying to take away from any sport because I truly do love them all and follow them pretty closely all year round. But just like sports themselves, someone has to come in first, and for me (and the majority of America for that matter) NFL IS KING.
Besides sports(watching/playing/betting on them), I don’t really have any other hobbies. I work in sales for a Fortune 250 company that is not only nationwide but has a global presence. Like many young people my age that work in the corporate world, sports are my one true escape, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
That’s where Lunch Beers comes in. I don’t take life too seriously, for me and my mental well-being I think that’s what's best. I like to joke a lot, and be extremely sarcastic at times. The internet has done a lot of good, but to follow-up with not taking life too seriously, I use my social medias to joke around and have as much fun as possible. So, with that being said, I thought to myself, there has to be something more to life than clocking into a 9-5 and just rinse and repeating my life. Especially in sales, where you can have the best month of your life, but as soon as the next month hits, everything resets to zero and you start your processes all over again. Talk about a monotonous lifestyle.
So that is my goal, a mission statement if you will. To provide entertainment and excitement to the millions of people in the same position as me. To be honest though, as long as I can make one person happy, one person to crack and smile and laugh, then I will be an extremely happy man.
So I will continue writing these blogs along with the podcast (and hopefully so much more to come) I hope you enjoy them, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for even reading this and giving me a chance.
PS - I did not proof read this nor change any of my grammatical errors, don’t be that guy, nobody likes a grammar fairy.
PSS- Both my twitter and IG handles are @fimbozosh lets ride the wave that is the internet together, I promise it will be a good time.
