Speaker 3: doing this.

19
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: Wait which when people come up to you, what do

20
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: they ask.

21
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: For the most?

22
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Like?

23
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: Like? Which?

00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Which impression?

25
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: Well? Yeah, yes, younger people are all asking for Gruden

26
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: now no Spider two way ban and everybody's looking for

27
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: a little John drud especially with Gruden out here. I'm

28
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: pretty good friends with him. I'm opening up some boxes

29
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 4: with him, you know, done that kind of thing. So

30
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 4: he's out here, just want in the streets of San Francisco,

31
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: and he like he ran in a ran into my

32
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: buddy rich gannon man. This guy played for me. I

33
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: love this guy. He's just hitting him on the shoulder,

34
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: bruising them up, and he's getting making them do snap

35
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: counts in the streets of San Francisco. Uh. Pretty crazy stuff.

36
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: But that's just John Bruden being Johner. That would be

37
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: John Matt explaining John Drewen.

38
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: That's just John Gruden being John Bruden right there, and

39
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: that's that's what makes him who he is.

40
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: He's the Brett Bar of coaches right there.

41
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: What's the most niche the most niche uh you know,

42
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: impression you get.

43
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: Asked to do?

44
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: Uh, well it probably the ones people don't ask me

45
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: to do. Those would be the most niche. I would

46
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: just like a Philly Crystoll. I didn't even know I

47
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: could do it. That's ridiculous that someone would even ask

48
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 4: for that. Or a Paul jim Otti.

49
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I believe that's.

50
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: One of the craziest things I've ever heard it. But

51
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: there are a niche you know, audiences that find that

52
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: to be. You know, here's the thing. I'm not a

53
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: political comic. I don't do actual politics, but I always

54
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 4: start my Joe very Broad. I do the Donald Trump,

55
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: like a lot of people do. But I did quiet Trump.

56
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: The people did the very loud, over the top Trump,

57
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 4: and I do library Trump, which is where we have

58
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 4: tremendous books, and in those books we have fantastic words,

59
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: and then we really wors with great meaning. And then

60
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: I mix it up with Joe Biden. Folks, com on

61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: your mac. He's like a drunk auctioneer, said jumper R D. Poll.

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 3: The Roman Empire, the Romans defeated by Mario and Luigi

63
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: go forward to come on.

64
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: And then if our good friend Adam Scheffer saw what

65
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: was going on, he'd probably have a thought or too.

66
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: Corey my sources. At this particular time, it appears that

67
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: Caliendo is doing my voice again. The thing about Adam

68
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: is he does not love, he doesn't dislike the impression.

69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: He just hears the essenes because it's these things are

70
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: magic tricks, right, You kind of have to manipulate your

71
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: mouth in your throat and stuff to make it work.

72
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: And he hears the essays, and I think it just

73
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: makes throws him off, like, yeah, I have to cheat

74
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 4: it a little bit to get there?

75
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Is he The only way is there ever been someone

76
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: upset at your impression of them.

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: Jim Rowl never liked me. That's not good. Incredible, phenomenal

78
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: l arugula, But most people like, you know, even mel Kiper,

79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: who thought people thought would dislike it. Mel Kiper Jr.

80
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: Talk about fooled about the situation. At the end of

81
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: the day, Ohni Piper family sits around watching fright Telly

82
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: Endo video.

83
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: So when you come out to Denver, because you obviously

84
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: performed out here, Uh, what what is the crowd like?

85
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: What was your experience when you're talking about framing your

86
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: act for different regions of the country, do you do

87
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: you do that sort of thing a little bit.

88
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: Denver feels a lot like the Midwest Colorad. I grew

89
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: up in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin, which is a thirteen miles west

90
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: of Milwaukee, and it's fairly similar. I mean, it's kind

91
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: of a they're nice people, fun, a little more outdoorsy,

92
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: I would say in Colorado, but I don't know, it

93
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: feels the same as the Midwest. It's like right in

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: my you know, right in my sweet spot. So in

95
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: New York I would speed it up a little bit.

96
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: In the West Coast, you got to be a little

97
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: more too cool. For school. Slow down in the South,

98
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: just imagine you're in the humidity. But Colorado is just

99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: it's very natural for me and I have a lot

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: of fun with it.

101
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: Hey, Frank, last thought for me when you think back

102
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: in your career has been so terrific. How did you

103
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: first get into this.

104
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 4: I went to school for broadcast journalism at the University

105
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. I graduated. I was like, well, what

106
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: am I going to do? I don't really like to

107
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: be an interviewer. I'd rather be an interviewee. I just

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: went and started doing stand up. I was like, I'll

109
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: take a chance. My dad was a minor league baseball

110
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: player in the White Sox organization. He was younger, he

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: took chances. He's like, do what you want to do.

112
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: My parents were always behind it, so that's pretty cool.

113
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 4: And you know, my dad was like when we were

114
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: in school, he's like, just get sees that's good enough.

115
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: I was like a B B plus kind of student,

116
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: so he's like, can do it. Fantastic and do what

117
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: you know. They kind of they were never against what

118
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: I was doing, so I didn't have any pressure to

119
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: not do what I wanted. I had no idea what

120
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: I wanted to do. I probably want to get into

121
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: sports commentary type of thing and do it be a

122
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: sports anchor. I thought that was my ceiling. But I

123
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: went and did this and it worked out, and who

124
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: knew that the voices would pay off and I had

125
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: the niche of sports, which nobody was really doing at

126
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: the time. Now there's lots of people doing it, but

127
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: at the time I was kind of an original. I

128
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: was the only one around.

129
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so last one here for you, and I guess

130
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I would leave it up to you. But maybe it

131
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: would be easier if I just said, if John matt

132
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: and John Gruden were in the booth breaking down this

133
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl matchup, how would they view who's going to

134
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: come out on top?

135
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: So, John, you want to take it first? No, I

136
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: think you should take it first. That I think I

137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: think age before beauty.

138
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: Here.

139
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure which one of us is, but I

140
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: think you look.

141
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: At a guy like in Drake Bay they said he's

142
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: probably not going to be ready, and then you look

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: at the New England Patriots or.

144
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: A year ago they weren't very good. And then Mike.

145
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: Brable comes in and book the changes it all around.

146
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: And then you know, then you look on the other side.

147
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: I'll take it from here. A damn darnold man a

148
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: redemption arc. This is one of the most incredible things

149
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my entire life. The big difference

150
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: between these two teams both tremendous defenses. You agree, John,

151
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: I totally agree with that. I agree with that, like

152
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: I'd agree with Pat Summer on Thanks John, no problems.

153
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 4: I think that you look at they both have grake defenses.

154
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 4: But would you agree with me on this, John, would

155
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: you agree that the Seattle Seahawks are a bit more

156
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: swarming and overpowering. I definitely would, And that's what I

157
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: think is the difference. But I do think that Mike

158
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: Rabel is good for free point three points, Yeah, three points.

159
