Hadn't realised he died, sad.
I used to love watching these three...

Rest in peace, Frank. My heart goes out to your family, and friends and fans gonna miss u

[MirzaVP]

Frank was the life of the show u can't have a good show without a good villian.

[Budicles]

Why drag this back up? The poor guy just passed. They made up. Let it be. RIP, Frank. I still miss you on AP. Show hasn't been the same since he left.

[KingLife]

When frank left, that’s when I stopped watching. Frank was best part of the show

[s.b.]

I watched every episode every week, there was many times where it seemed like Frank just wasn't happy, I'm talking about way before his departure.

Mike got frank kicked so his brother could join the show full time.

[crissaconway]

Rest in peace frank Fritz 🪴🌿🏍️📽️🎞️🦋🐞🦋🍂💐🍃🌼

[CBass-mndy]

I liked Frank the most.... really loved his sense of humor... RIP, sir....

[mccatt]

He could’ve been drinking because of back pain?😮

[BraysFirefly]

Didn't know he was an alcoholic, the show wasnt the same without him, and the way the show was shot was definitely towards mike, all the picks dani sent them on she was like "mike you're gonna love this one" R.I.P Frank

[gstylempdesign]

Daniel can be hard to watch on a pick, Jersey is can be very knowledgeable and Mikes bro is ok. I thought Frank had a bit of a salesman style of negotiating that rubbed some people the wrong way but, he knew toys, his petroleum related items ( oil cans, ephemera, signage ) really well. RIP

[LukeM]

Chances are this was made before Franks untimely passing. Though I wouldn't doubt they're capitalizing on the passing.

Edit: they made a video three years ago, so this video is capitalizing on Frank's death. Just adding a little more to double the video's length.

[ChadH]

Mike and Frank were the show. When Frank left, i stopped watching. It's a shame they grew apart, they spent so many miles together.
