Let's hear it. 133 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick up the headliner and I'm going to 134 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: drive this person. I'm gonna make sure they get there 135 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: and get their own time, and then immediately as the 136 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: show ends, be ready to drive drive him back.

I do favors for people all the time, 147 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: So that is not why he was surprised. I think 148 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: he was surprised because it turns out this is gonna 149 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: be a good chunk of your Saturday.

Charles Barkley, 174 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's performed for Charles Barkley doing his impression. 175 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, hilarious guy. He's the headliner of in a 176 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: Norfolk for the Great American Comedy Festival, and they need 177 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: Jo to pick a bop. So I'm like, all right, 178 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: that sounds cool. I'm a fan of Frank's. He seems 179 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: like he's a nice guy. I was like, I would enjoy, 180 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, spending some time with Frank and just kind 181 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: of seeing what's up there, and I get to check 182 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: out the show, right, so I figure why not. So 183 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: that's how it goes down. But one of the things, 184 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: one of the things I had to have, what I 185 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: was told I had to have in the vehicle was 186 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, some beverages. I had to have diet doctor, 187 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: pepper and water. So that's great, I can have that. 188 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: I got a cooler ready, boom, the boss has everything 189 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: he needs. If he's parched ahead of the show or 190 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: even after the show. I don't mess around. Okay, you 191 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: need a favor for me, I'm gonna have a cooler. 192 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna have ice. Drinks are gonna be cold. In fact, 193 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: I chilled him the night before, so even before they 194 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: went and the cooler with the ice, they were cold. 195 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it's not my first rodeo, guys. Okay. 196 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: So and then I had to be at the hotel 197 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: by four thirty to make sure he's on the road 198 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: because we had to get the Norfolk. We had to 199 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: get there. It's a two hour drive. The show starts 200 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: at seven, so that means I'm there right before the 201 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: show starts. Not ideal, but that is this, that's what 202 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: that's what we had set up for us. Okay, this 203 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: is this is what I'm working with. So, I mean 204 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: contact with his road manager a few times. It was funny. 205 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: He I don't know if he just thought I couldn't 206 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: handle the gig or what, but he called me like 207 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: two o'clock. He's like, you're on the road, and I'm like, no, no, 208 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: not on the road. I'd live at Omaha. This is 209 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: like a fifty minute job. I mean, yeah, I'm gonna 210 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a little bit. You know, there's traffic 211 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: where the cultural series is in town, right, so, and 212 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: I have to go right through that mess, uh, in 213 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: order to get him. But the four thirty time frame 214 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: actually was out perfect because there's not gonna be any 215 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: games starting or ending during that time, so perfect, Like 216 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to zip right through and uh 217 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: get the boss. So I'm like, I got this. He 218 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: kind of quizzed me a little bit. I answered him 219 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: with flying colors. Therefore, he didn't need to check up 220 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: on me anymore. He knew that I could tell that. 221 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: He knew that I was on the job. So then 222 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: I roll up at four fifteen. You know, I want 223 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: to be early. I wanted to be proms and you 224 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: know what, how embarrassing would be if I showed up late. 225 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: So even if it is just a favor, So I 226 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: roll up, let him know him there, text Frank, Hey, 227 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm here. He says, all right, I'll be down down 228 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: a bit.

I'm not familiar with the seats. 236 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: I hit a lever that I think is going to 237 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: shift it back. Instead, the entire back side of the 238 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: chair rockets at my face. Boom, knocks my glasses off 239 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: and knocks me back. I had like a I actually, 240 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm shocked.

But uh, two hour drive 295 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: in Norfolk. Actually it was a pretty smooth drive until 296 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: we got about twenty minutes out of Norfolk. That's when 297 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: the clouds rolled in. It started to get really dark 298 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: and that the organizer of the festival calls me and 299 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: he goes, hey, just see, you know, we are in 300 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: a tornado warning in Norfolk right now.

It should roll 303 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: through before you get here, but just just be careful. 304 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: And just so you know, since we do have the 305 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: tornado warning, we're delaying the show about the thirty minutes. 306 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, that makes sense. That's safety first, right, 307 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: So I hang out. Frank's like what I'm like, Well, 308 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: I tell him about the weather. You can tell he 309 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: hasn't been involved in many tornado situations and a long 310 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: time if he has, so you know, we're He's got 311 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: his art hand up on the the old ship handle 312 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: on the top of the tour legs bounce it.

Then the downpour hits. It's 316 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: it was a little dicey. Therefore, I get another phone 317 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: call from the organizer and he goes, hey, just you know, 318 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: it's really bad. You are gonna you are gonna dry 319 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: through this. Just be careful.

Not only is it, you know, one of 323 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: those downpours that you get when you're going through severe weather, 324 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: but it's a flash flood for sure. I mean the 325 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: water water is so freaking high. Uh so we had 326 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: to kind of I mean, obviously we went to slow 327 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: through that, but we also had to kind of do 328 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: one of those things where you kind of drive around 329 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: the water a little bit because it's in pretty deep. 330 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: But we do end up making it to theater. I 331 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: get him dropped off and then I go and I 332 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: had a nice little peanut butter and jelly sandwich to 333 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: eat the meat stick and nice. I had a little 334 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: treat with me, a little little dinner that was nice. 335 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,239 Speaker 1: Actually made that for me. That was great. Shout out. 336 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: I actually thank you. It was so good. I just 337 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: kind of sat down there. I was like, oh, I 338 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: should go fuel up for gas before the show. So 339 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: when did that? You know, I'm just I'm going through. 340 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: This is the day to days. We're on the road. Okay, 341 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: when you're on the road, things like this happened, you 342 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: kind of got to talk through. So we get there. 343 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: I go in in a theater. You know, I have 344 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: there's a ticket for me so I can watch the show. 345 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: I go in. I'm in the front row. I had 346 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: no idea. I had no idea. He set me up 347 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: in the front row right to stage right. It was incredible, 348 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: and there was there was four features that took the 349 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: stage from a couple from Chicago, ones from l A. 350 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean there was there was just a great show. 351 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: And then Frank comes up and Frank just kills he immediately. 352 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: We're in Norfolk, Nebraska, right, and you can imagine what 353 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: the if you if you were going to do any 354 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: type of politics humor, you can probably guess which way 355 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: they sway. Okay, I don't care which way you go, 356 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: all right in this topic. I'm not going to that 357 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: that's not today's episode, but you could obviously tell which way, 358 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, this audience primarily goes. So he comes up 359 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: and he starts making fun immediately of Donald Trump, and 360 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: that's one of his great impressions, and he's good stuff, 361 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: and you can just feel the tent, the tension. He 362 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: stops and he says, hey, I'm gonna make fun of everybody, 363 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: and then he you know, pulls out a Joe Biden 364 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: joke and then everyone loves it and everything's great again. 365 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: But oh man, you could feel the tension a little 366 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: bit as he busted out the first impression of President Trump. 367 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: But so then he goes through his act and it's 368 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: just it's hilarious. He's non stop bouncing from impression impression, 369 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: and then he's got you know, a little tidbits and 370 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: stories that he's thrown in uh here and there, and 371 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: then in the in the middle of the act, you 372 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: know he's doing I'm not gonna give away his bits, 373 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: but he ends up coming down walking off the stage 374 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: as he's lost. I think you can guess which president 375 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: he's impersonating there, And then he comes up to the 376 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: front row and then he ends up sitting right next 377 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: to me, which a little side note, a picture of 378 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: that ended up on the front page of the Norfolk newspaper. 379 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: So I did I end up in the acts anyways? Yeah, yeah, 380 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: it sounds like I did. But he's there. It's it 381 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: was a great time, awesome set, uh Frank Kellendo. If 382 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: you ever get a chance to see him, I mean, 383 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: it's just laughter from beginning to end. And i'd imagine, 384 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, this guy, I mean, this 385 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: guy's got it down. He's doing this set and he's 386 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: doing you know, a variation of this set from city 387 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: to city to city to city for the last however 388 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: many years and for the next however many years. And 389 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: it's and it works right, it's it's just always gotta 390 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: work because you could just adapt the the the headline 391 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: or whatever to the impression and it just it works. 392 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: And now it was awesome and it was funny because 393 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: we're driving there, he's just so I don't know, he's 394 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: just so even keel, very mellow, very just real quiet. 395 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: And then you know, as soon as the lights come on, 396 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: he is just eyes wide open, just ready to go. 397 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: You can you know stories people upset about like Robin Williams. 398 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: He's just very quiet and very you know, that's my 399 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: impression of Robin in and then when he got on stage, 400 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's a mile a minute, running a run 401 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: a whild like crazy man. That was kind of like 402 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: Frank a little bit, which was pretty cool to see. 403 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: But great show. I knew exactly, you know, and I 404 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: wasn't even told what time I need to get it, 405 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: get my ass up out of the seat and go, 406 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: but I just had this feeling when that would be 407 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: the right time. So, uh, there was a point in 408 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: the show, I don't know, maybe forty hour, minutes hour, 409 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: probably an hour into it, he calls out everybody who 410 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: performed ahead of him. I'm like, you know what this 411 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: is probably close to the end of the show, I'm 412 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: gonna ahead and get up, so I quietly exit, go out, 413 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: walk around the theater, get in the van, pull it 414 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: out back. Sure enough, minute later he comes stroll it out. 415 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, know what, credit to credit to Jail for 416 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: just kind of having the intuition to know win it 417 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: was time to go, so that the talent didn't have 418 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: to wait. So yeah, just saying credit to me. Really, 419 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: Then we jetted out of there. I mean, the the 420 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: rains and all the storm and all that was done. 421 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: We didn't have any issues with that. The root home 422 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: was in a complete flash flood warning that we didn't 423 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: see any of that anymore to kind of washed away. 424 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: So that was cool, dry back, pretty quiet. You know, 425 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: we're we're just you know, just a couple of guys 426 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: listening to tunes, you know, chatting about sports, chat about 427 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: our kids or whatever. And he was dealing with the 428 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: big ass spider like the size of his hand back home, 429 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: so the family was trying to kill that. That was 430 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: that was interesting, and honestly, I wouldn't want him. I 431 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't want a big ass spider run around my house either. 432 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: I think I've told the story on the show before 433 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: about my my deal with the spiders, and yeah, I 434 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: would certainly be calling someone over to kill the spider 435 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: as well. But as we're pulling into his hotel, he's like, 436 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: you know what we made It didn't think we were 437 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: going to get there. And I like to think it 438 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: was because of the weather. It did get dicey. It 439 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with my driving, because I was 440 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: a hell of a driver. And you know the point 441 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: of the matter is when you need someone, when you 442 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: need a favor, when you need someone to take care 443 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: of top talent for your city, for your town, you 444 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: know who to call. We called Jo
