When you catch up with friends

Video Summary
After a long time, Daniel meets up with his old friend, Frank.

Wanting to know all about what's happened since they last seen each other, Daniel asks Frank how his children are, to which he responds "They're actually dead" and abruptly changes the conversation topic by saying "My golf game has been improving though. How've you been?"

Daniel responds that he has been good but is taken aback by Frank's comments and queries this.

Unbeknownst to Frank, Daniel was taken aback by his deceased children comment but Frank proceeds to tell Daniel about his time playing golf and what he has done to help "get him out of the bogey zone".

Frank then asks how Daniel's son, Stefan, is doing and Daniel replies that he's good but quickly tries to change the subject back to Frank's children.

Frank, again, thinks Daniel wants to know more about him playing golf and gives Daniel more tips.

Daniel realises he should not try and talk to Frank about his children so he then asks him about his wife, Patricia. Frank tells Daniel that she has been doing really well and Daniel is relieved that Frank is finally telling him some good news. This quickly turns sour as Frank informs him that she lost an eye in a fishing accident in the summer 1 year prior to catching up with Daniel. Frank also mentions that everybody now calls her "Patchy Patty" and she has started doing Pilates which has resulted in her being in the best shape in her life, much to the delight of Frank.

It can be assumed that Patricia did not originally like her name of "Patchy Patty" but had grown to like it.

Frank asks how Daniel is getting on at work and Daniel tells him he's in the "same office job" (which he is a boss at) and Daniel asks if Frank still works at the animal shelter, Puppies In Paradise. Recalling the name of Frank's work, Daniel is suddenly excited and happy to hear all about this thinking this will surely bring a lot of joy to Frank (which he desperately needs). Frank casually tells Daniel that "It burned down last night." to which Daniel responds by putting his head into his hand out of empathy and frustration for his friend. Frank provides more detail saying "We tried to save as many as we could but the kennels have this new auto-lock feature which makes it really difficult to pry them open."

Daniel is dumbfounded by how casually and nonchalantly Frank is acting while telling Daniel all this. Daniel asks "How are you still holding it together?"

Frank reveals that the key to his ability to cope with all this constant heartache is a drink called Dr. Bleppa which is keeping him from ending it all.
