That’s just how it is.“The show is tilted towards him 1000 per cent. I can’t even bend that far down to show you how much. “That’s fine. It’s like you’ve got Aerosmith and there’s Steven Tyler and he’s the front man. I found my spot, I’m second and he’s number one on the show. That’s no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem.”Frank still owns his Illinois store, Frank Fritz Finds, and resides in his native Iowa.
