Speaker 6: are filling in.
Speaker 4: For Dan Patrick.
Speaker 6: So uh, pretty cool to uh to make this full circle,
Speaker 6: if you will. And Drew Brees, I became friends with him.
Speaker 6: He's one of the nicest guys. Have you guys talked
Speaker 6: to him before? Yeah, he is one of the He
Speaker 6: did a when I first met him. I did one
Speaker 6: of those things where I like, could you, uh, could
Speaker 6: you make a video for my flag football team?
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, one are the kids' names?
Speaker 6: I know, my my flag football team I'm playing No
Speaker 6: uh so the kids, Uh, they got a kick out
Speaker 6: of that. But Drew Drew Drew invited me to dinner
Speaker 6: at the Super Bowl. Not the Super Boys playing it,
Speaker 6: but he invited me to the Super Bowl in New
Speaker 6: Orleans because he was part of you know, the hosting
Speaker 6: group or whatever.
Speaker 4: And I was super tired.
Speaker 6: I had to pass because I had to get home
Speaker 6: and coach of my son's basketball team.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know, he's you know, ten years old or something
Speaker 6: like that, and as the coach of the guy, I
Speaker 6: was so tired coaching. It was like little giants there.
Speaker 6: Guys were just beating up on our kids. I eventually
Speaker 6: got kicked out of the game. I honestly got kicked
Speaker 6: out of the game.
Speaker 4: As the coach.
Speaker 3: You it was horrific.
Speaker 6: I mean because I was I was just I was
Speaker 6: watching these kids beat up on our kids, and I
Speaker 6: yelled at the ref I did. It was totally I
Speaker 6: shouldn't have done it. And I actually went and apologized
Speaker 6: to the parents on the other side afterward, and they're
Speaker 6: there and the kids, I just I just put my
Speaker 6: two legs and I went, I you know what, kids,
Speaker 6: you should never act like.
Speaker 4: This is a totally wrong thing to do. I'm sorry. Parents.
Speaker 4: And after the game, they're.
Speaker 6: Like, okay, mister Hollywood, and they're just coming after me,
Speaker 6: and I was like, man, I'll tell you what, man,
Speaker 6: you're a jackass, then come on, man.
Speaker 8: Callendo goes for the gold by putting his tail between
Speaker 8: his legs, shrinking down like Fred Flintstone in the big
Speaker 8: chair next to the table. He's a tiny little guy
Speaker 8: at that point, and you're coming after him.
Speaker 4: At his worst time ever.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you were that guy guy even here
Speaker 2: here at the Little League League.
Speaker 3: But do you hear that mighty on here in the
Speaker 3: you know I'm here. Do you hear that? Frank, You're
Speaker 3: here and our headphones is.
Speaker 2: Like today today today, I consider myself SOLF.
Speaker 3: So so it's totally that's Gruden doing.
Speaker 6: You want Gruden doing, Lou Garrick, that's what you want.
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you, did you not see the sign?
Speaker 3: He says?
Speaker 2: He says, parents, parents, beware, the kids are watching, watching,
Speaker 2: and they're all over the Little League fields out here
Speaker 2: here like the parents get advocates.
Speaker 3: Oh you were that guy that got.
Speaker 2: Tossed that because you know, people want to social media
Speaker 2: to talk about Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I didn't know what I was just and I wanted
Speaker 6: to go. I passed a dinner with Drew Brees for this,
Speaker 6: and I just I just obviously didn't.
Speaker 3: Maybe I did say, and I don't know when you're
Speaker 3: stupid league and he's stupid kids.
Speaker 2: Frank, I got to because you're such an entertaining guy.
Speaker 2: But just talking to you is such a fun experience experience.
Speaker 2: Is there pressure to impressions of what you do when
Speaker 2: you meet new people.
Speaker 6: People Like when I meet somebody like at the airport,
Speaker 6: if you're like a dinner party or something, because just talking.
Speaker 2: For me, for me, But I feel like, but you
Speaker 2: might feel like that I should probably break.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a little bit.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it feels like people are just waiting for it sometimes.
Speaker 6: And but the last time I was on with Danny
Speaker 6: got on me about it because I went to dinner
Speaker 6: with those guys. They're talking about how I just break
Speaker 6: into impressions all the time, Like.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe I was trying to impress you you are dance.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's maybe because I could do it in the
Speaker 6: story I'm going to add it to so, yes, maybe
Speaker 6: that's the situation. Yeah, I don't do it so much
Speaker 6: around the house and with my friends, there's nothing like that.
Speaker 6: But when somebody does meet me and they bring it up,
Speaker 6: there is a little bit maybe give.
Speaker 4: Them a boom, like a mad thing like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, which is which is the worst place?
Speaker 4: Airport t s A. Don't do that.
Speaker 6: There, uh boom cuff me uh so uh so, Yeah,
Speaker 6: there's a there's a little bit of that. But I
Speaker 6: if you know me, I'm not I'm pretty much not
Speaker 6: breaking into characters all the time.
Speaker 2: When he says and he brings me Frank, I always
Speaker 2: think of the Flaming commercial, like how the fire would
Speaker 2: just burst into his foot, would just burst into flames.
Speaker 2: Speaking of your friendships, Frank, I saw that Carrot Top
Speaker 2: posted you yesterday, So I want to know about some
Speaker 2: of the camaraderie in your life when it comes to comics, Uh,
Speaker 2: your Mad TV affiliation back in the day, Like, do
Speaker 2: you guys root for each other? Is there some sort
Speaker 2: of fraternity camaraderie going on with those dudes that you
Speaker 2: came up with? Do you automatically support them? The Airy
Speaker 2: Spears is of the world, the Will Sasso's even the
Speaker 2: Bobby Lee even though he wasn't a cast member, but
Speaker 2: you see his clips all the time.
Speaker 3: He was on Mad TV a lot, Like do you

Speaker 3: the thing is, it's it's someone's it's not Frank. I'll
Speaker 3: give you that.
Speaker 2: It's uh. Every time something happens. You know what our
Speaker 2: video guys fol likes to say. And this is for
Speaker 2: anyone at their job. Operator error, operator error. Right, Well
Speaker 2: that's ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 3: But whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as uh Danny g jokingly said, better with Frank
Speaker 2: than with Drew Brees.
Speaker 3: I just kidding, Frank. We love you, man.
Speaker 2: We say that respectfully for sure, and appreciate your time.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 3: Is he there?
Speaker 5: I have him on the phone now the way we
Speaker 5: used to do it in radio.
Speaker 3: All right, Hi, Frank, I didn't hear what was?
Speaker 4: How did you make fun of me? What was? What
Speaker 4: did you say?
Speaker 3: Better you than Drew Brees?
Speaker 4: Yeah? All right, so you killed my my intro line.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna do, Like I was the
Speaker 4: Chester yes or one hundred percent agree with you?
Speaker 6: I mean get out, no, no, no, no, no, I'm on.
Speaker 4: I'm on with it.
Speaker 2: But when you were talking about hanging out with your
Speaker 2: breeze dough, I do love that mutual respect that you
Speaker 2: guys get and I love how they embrace you. And
Speaker 2: that's sort of what I was getting at before. You know,
Speaker 2: it's the third time I'm asking this question, and it's
Speaker 2: not even that great.
Speaker 3: Of a question.
Speaker 2: I would say, you thought from the freaking question, Well,
Speaker 2: you know what, Speaking of quarterbacks, we were talking about
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield and how he was offered two years one
Speaker 2: hundred million. We were saying, how do you not take
Speaker 2: the money and run? You know, what are your thoughts
Speaker 2: when you hear stories like that? And I don't know,
Speaker 2: if you're watching betting on yourself, which I'm sure you've
Speaker 2: done a million times in your career.
Speaker 4: No, I usually just acquiesce and go for the money
Speaker 4: that they initially offered me. Right, pretty much, that's pretty much. No.
Speaker 4: I hold out. I've held out on some things before.
Speaker 4: Usually people have to talk me into it a little bit.
Speaker 4: But uh, I don't know, I'm usually pretty pretty happy
Speaker 4: with I shouldn't say that I have held out for
Speaker 4: some differently, not that much. When you're talking about fifty
Speaker 4: to one hundred million. I mean, I can't even comprehend that.
Speaker 4: I don't think the average person could comprehend tens, if
Speaker 4: not one hundred, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 4: So if you do, if you do, I can't. I can't.
Speaker 4: I don't think I would. I always looked at it
Speaker 4: when I was a kid watching Brett Favre make all
Speaker 4: that money in Green Bay. I grew up in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, well, why don't, why can't you, Why
Speaker 4: don't you take less money and get some better receivers
Speaker 4: or get the defense. But that's just not the way.
Speaker 4: When you have all those agents around you and people
Speaker 4: talking to you about that type of stuff, your mindset's
Speaker 4: a little different. You do watch your value. You don't
Speaker 4: want to be treated crappy. And the owners are making
Speaker 4: a ton of money. I think that's the way they're
Speaker 4: looking at it. The league's making a ton of money,
Speaker 4: the owners are making a ton of money, and why
Speaker 4: shouldn't I make as much as possible? And maybe they
Speaker 4: don't trust the owner to put the money where the
Speaker 4: like that quarterback thinks they would put it. I'm sure
Speaker 4: that happened to Baker Mayfield where he's been. He's like, well,
Speaker 4: you told me I was gonna you know, if I
Speaker 4: took less money, you would do this and that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: That's the type of thing you just you can't trust that.
Speaker 4: It's business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Frank and your business.
Speaker 2: You're surrounded by celebrities all the time, and guys in
Speaker 2: sports in the NFL they love you. But do you
Speaker 2: still get a kick out of it when they recognize
Speaker 2: you for what you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah. The coolest thing when I first started
Speaker 4: was was I was at a groundling show in Los
Speaker 4: Angeles there the Improv troupe, and Will Ferrell walked in
Speaker 4: and said, Hey, are you Frank? And I was like that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was only in comedy for maybe five
Speaker 4: years at that point, and he's like the Madden. The Madden.
Speaker 4: He's doing that, you know, that's pretty cool. And the
Speaker 4: Madden is the thing that people always no. When I
Speaker 4: met Chris Evans, I did. I did a thing where
Speaker 4: I brought my daughter to an ACE comic con. Maybe
Speaker 4: I've told you this before, but I brought her to
Speaker 4: an ACE Comic con in Seattle and Josh Broland had
Speaker 4: used me in the movie W for the George W. Bushification,
Speaker 4: so he he's like, that was me. So I I
Speaker 4: the agent calls it, you go you can go meet
Speaker 4: Josh Brolin right now. Only problem is he's with Chris Evans.
Speaker 4: I'm like, we'll deal with it. Then we go in.
Speaker 4: I'm talking to Chris to Josh Broland for a little bit,
Speaker 4: and Chris Evans because I went, wait a second, who
Speaker 4: are you? And I go Frank Kelly and who goes,
Speaker 4: Oh my god, do some mad do mad doing this?
Speaker 4: And it was so my daughter at thirteen years old
Speaker 4: thinks of the coolest guy in the world. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean that stuff is I don't even know if
Speaker 4: it's just for me at this point, but when my
Speaker 4: kids see something that that that gives me a little
Speaker 4: bit of a cool feeling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's wild.
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, the fact that you bring people
Speaker 2: so much joy through through impressions. But alone, Frank, you're
Speaker 2: just a great guy without the impressions. But there is
Speaker 2: such a layer like if anything ever goes weird, Frank
Speaker 2: can always just do impression you impressions to get out
Speaker 2: of like a weird, uncomfortable moment.
Speaker 10: Morgan Freeman and that's when he realized he didn't have
Speaker 10: enough money to pay for that dinner. Frank's slowly but
Speaker 10: Charlotte all to five hundred yards. Look at their slop.
Speaker 10: I can't even imagine.
Speaker 4: Oh maybe I just don't want to just to wash
Speaker 4: those dishes? Is that a real thing? Can you wash
Speaker 4: dishes at a restaurant?
Speaker 2: I know we were led to believe that and when
Speaker 2: we were kids. If that's what they do, right, I
Speaker 2: saw Pee Wee Herman do it in his Big Adventure.
Speaker 2: That's that's uh my only reference to it. Yes, it
Speaker 2: never happened.
Speaker 4: I've never seen anything reflects reality. It's Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 2: Yeah you never? Did you have run ins with him
Speaker 2: on your come up at all?
Speaker 4: Or No?
Speaker 3: The Great Paul rub.
Speaker 4: Total wrong verbiage for that one.
Speaker 3: No, you never you know encounter, No, you never at
Speaker 3: the playhouse.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: The big one, because I've become really good friends with him,
Speaker 4: is John Gruden. I mean Gruden is the one I've
Speaker 4: done stuff with. You got I told Rich this off
Speaker 4: the area. You got me doing cameos. He's like you
Speaker 4: ever do cameo? Man? Like you know that thing where
Speaker 4: you wish people happy birthday? Let's tell you what, there's
Speaker 4: no better satisfaction than wishing somebody. And this guy he
Speaker 4: has the greatest cameos in the world. I'm doing a
Speaker 4: commercial for him on cameo do it for me. But
Speaker 4: I'm at I'm at the FFCA, and he's got he's
Speaker 4: always watching film, he's always got old video on there.
Speaker 4: He's like, I gotta do this one. First guy's birthday,
Speaker 4: give me a second on at the birthday. Rich, It's
Speaker 4: great that you're fifty years old. You're breaking into the
Speaker 4: fifty year Mike Mark like, well, there Peyton to run
Speaker 4: through the line, and then he plays Peyton behind her,
Speaker 4: like that's the greatest thing I've ever seen in my
Speaker 4: entire life.
Speaker 2: So I just think he said the Madden the Madden before.
Speaker 2: I feel like generationally you could see how old someone is,
Speaker 2: whether they want you to do the Madden or the
Speaker 2: Grindin in a way, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 4: I went from a guy who pigeonholed himself as an
Speaker 4: a comedian who did an impersonation of a guy named John,
Speaker 4: to a comedian who doesn't imperson an impression of a
Speaker 4: guy named John. It went from j O h N
Speaker 4: to j O N. I guess I had some George
Speaker 4: w and some Donald Trump in the middle Trankly and
Speaker 4: Joe Biden for I mean that those are all tertiary
Speaker 4: two that Gruden and Madden, and you know, I milked
Speaker 4: it pretty well. So one of those things where it's
Speaker 4: it's the it's the duality of it. It's like, hey,
Speaker 4: everywhere I go, people you know on the air want
Speaker 4: me to do it, and I'm like, maybe I'll get
Speaker 4: away from it, and they're like, well you did, all right?
Speaker 4: Yeah why not? I mean, if you take yourself too
Speaker 4: seriously in your a comedian, you are moral. Yeah I was.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you doing impressions is just I mean,
Speaker 2: you're the best at it.
Speaker 4: So I don't know about that, but I'm decent enough
Speaker 4: that I pulled it off.
Speaker 2: Who else do you think it is good in the game?
Speaker 2: Do you have that are Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 3: Who would you say?
Speaker 4: I know there would be a people. I mean people
Speaker 4: that you know, Jay Farrow. I've got some friends like
Speaker 4: Joe got Debt and some people that are like dead
Speaker 4: on mimics. My friend John Holmberg, who's a radio guy.
Speaker 4: It's one of the best I've ever heard. He's like me,
Speaker 4: if I were a little bit more, quite a bit
Speaker 4: more evil, but uh, it's it's uh, Sasso's fantastic. Aery
Speaker 4: Spears really great. I mean people have usually you have
Speaker 4: like five to ten that are your your calling card.
Speaker 2: Like you said, Sasso, I picture Sasso doing Macho Man.
Speaker 2: I picture him doing Tony Soprano. So I'll put you
Speaker 2: on the spot. You worked with both of those dudes
Speaker 2: on Man TV. Who does a better Tony Soprano, Aery
Speaker 2: Spears or Will Sassoh?
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know, I honestly, I mean they're both
Speaker 4: pretty freaking great. Ye, I would say Sasso because in
Speaker 4: the makeup, Will Sasso is a forget about. It's one
Speaker 4: of those kinds of things thinking about right now if
Speaker 4: somebody's talking about Tony Soprande. He said, first, I've got
Speaker 4: a door, come on.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: And yeah, they both are so great, but you, obviously
Speaker 2: you're You're the guy that everyone thinks so with impressions.
Speaker 2: Cavino saw a picture of you with carrat Top.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw Karra Top back in the day. Apparently you
Speaker 2: guys are pals. I saw him, and I was so
Speaker 2: I went in thinking like, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 2: gonna like this.
Speaker 3: He was fantastic. Oh, he's great.
Speaker 4: Most unbelievable is he.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's sort of underrated because I think
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, what is he gonna do?
Speaker 3: He pulled me. He's great.
Speaker 4: Jeff Die I think said this on Rogan. I think
Speaker 4: he's a he's better than all of us, and he's
Speaker 4: one hundred percent correct. I mean, carrat Tops show is
Speaker 4: basically a living set of memes. He is social media
Speaker 4: on stage, the music cues, all that stuff is just unbelievad.
Speaker 4: I mean, I would like I would love to see
Speaker 4: whoever's working the lights and the sound cues during that's
Speaker 4: its own show. But he's very, very funny. People don't
Speaker 4: realize it's not just him doing honey props. He doesn't
Speaker 4: really even do much of that. It's great props with
Speaker 4: thought behind him. There's an actual joke and uh we
Speaker 4: went in my wife and I went to Vegas and
Speaker 4: uh then he did a little thing with me and
Speaker 4: the audience. So it was fun. But he's a great,
Speaker 4: great guy. Again, I keep tying Grudenen, but this is true.
Speaker 4: Gruden goes to see him all the time.
Speaker 2: That's f Yeah, carat Top wrote, Uh, he's with the
Speaker 2: one and only Frank Calyando. Uh, literally one of the
Speaker 2: funniest people I know. So he was giving you props
Speaker 2: on social media.
Speaker 3: By the way, is that karat tops thing?
Speaker 2: When I first started dating my wife, Frank, we happen
Speaker 2: to go see carrattup. We're in Vegas and he gave
Speaker 2: us a little shout out on the ois and and
Speaker 2: and made me feel really cool. You know, he's very don't.
Speaker 4: Feel that cool. I love that whenever there's somebody there. Everybody,
Speaker 4: most people in Vegas unless they're a huge, huge, huge headliner.
Speaker 4: That's that's the thing people do in When I had
Speaker 4: my Vegas show, the thing is you get people to
Speaker 4: come in and then you pop it out there and
Speaker 4: that's kind of like a little advertising type of thing.
Speaker 4: But it's cool to get of course, cool to get
Speaker 4: to get called out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Frank Caliendo on the Cavino and Rich Show in
Speaker 2: for DP. It's always a pleasure. Thanks again for your time, Frank.
Speaker 2: We appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: John Madden, obviously you you talked about him. Have you
Speaker 2: accepted Nick Cage as the role, because I feel like
Speaker 2: last time we talked, he rolled your eyes a little
Speaker 2: bit about it.
Speaker 3: Have you accepted it yet.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I people all, it's more that
Speaker 4: people keep talking to me about it. I'm like me
Speaker 4: or Nick Cage. I'm picking Nick Cage for my life story,
Speaker 4: all right. If I could have Nick Cage, I'm Frank Caliendo,
Speaker 4: and I'm the guy who does a.
Speaker 11: John impression John Madden, John Gruden, doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Use it where you will, Dude.
Speaker 2: It is kind of tough though, because you still see
Speaker 2: that the Nick. His face is so famous. We've actually
Speaker 2: interviewed Nick Cage right and from our perspective, imagine him
Speaker 2: sitting like right across the table from us. I think
Speaker 2: the whole time I got all these questions lined up,
Speaker 2: but I'm looking at his famous face, and it's thrown
Speaker 2: me off. Like there's Nick Cave right there in a
Speaker 2: white T shirt and his face is so famous. I
Speaker 2: think that you know, you still see it, even though
Speaker 2: he gained all that weight and the prosthetics and everything else,
Speaker 2: you still see his face in John Madden.
Speaker 3: So I'm actually really curious.
Speaker 4: Why do you keep asking me about tarent top. I
Speaker 4: don't understand this line of questioning exactly. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: he's so famous. I mean, people when you're that famous.
Speaker 4: It's I don't know how much of a regular life
Speaker 4: you can have. So I listen, I was I think
Speaker 4: I told you guys this. They called me to have
Speaker 4: a zoom call with Nicholas Cage about that movie, and
Speaker 4: I was like no, They're like why not. I was like,
Speaker 4: because I want to hang out with Nicholas. I want
Speaker 4: to go if I'm gonna, you know, give him the
Speaker 4: Madden recipe, if I'm going to talk.
Speaker 9: About where you put the voice in your mouth and
Speaker 9: sound like you're like you're eating a pull lemon right
Speaker 9: there and you're not getting rid of lemons or starting
Speaker 9: the pull lemon, just like real sashel.
Speaker 4: So if I'm going to give that up, I want
Speaker 4: to hang out with him for a day. I want
Speaker 4: to walk around and you know, see exotic animals. Here's
Speaker 4: my monitor lizard, Frank, what would John Madden say? You know,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go through that. I want to have the
Speaker 4: Leslie Stall walka talk. That's what I want to be
Speaker 4: a part of. So but they then they just went on,
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna sound kind of like Nicholas Cage. Boom.
Speaker 4: That guy looks like he just got hit by a
Speaker 4: freight train.
Speaker 2: Yo, Frank Guy, I gotta ask you one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: You did one of the last times we talked. We're
Speaker 2: having some fun with Romo, who got in some trouble lately.
Speaker 11: Oh Jimmy, Oh oh yeah, Jimmy Jims. We're gonna be
Speaker 11: working at the Jimmy John's, just so I can say,
Speaker 11: jim we got jim Oh No.
Speaker 4: I feel I love I really like Romo. So I
Speaker 4: don't know, and it's he grew up from me, not that,
Speaker 4: but he's that all happened in Burlington, Wisconsin, and I
Speaker 4: grew up in Waukeshaw. That's like, you know, just a
Speaker 4: little bit down the road. So, uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I feel bad kind of ripping into people. I don't
Speaker 4: know what's happening with him, right, does he is? He's
Speaker 4: just like I don't know.
Speaker 2: They're they're rearranging CBS's uh like partnerships in the booth.
Speaker 3: So, I don't know. I like Romo in the booths myself.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, because you were very quick to
Speaker 2: do a great Romo. Are there some guys that maybe
Speaker 2: they just don't have anything distinct about their voice? Like
Speaker 2: I haven't heard anyone do like a Tom Brady. Are
Speaker 2: there some people where it's like, yay, he really does
Speaker 2: nothing interesting.
Speaker 3: With his voice.
Speaker 2: He's just gotta regularly. He's a regular guy, is it.
Speaker 2: Are there people like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's lots, and you don't see me or anybody
Speaker 4: else doing impressions for them.
Speaker 2: Say if you if you assume if there's someone very
Speaker 2: popular that none of you guys in that top tier
Speaker 2: have taken on or picked up this, they're just sort
Speaker 2: of not giving you much.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, actors have movie roles, so you can
Speaker 4: reverse engineer it from that a little bit when you have.
Speaker 4: But people told me I could you could have doing
Speaker 4: Adam Schefter, and I was like the career by sure
Speaker 4: at this particular time, I believe I have a way
Speaker 4: in or the people you think don't have. I remember
Speaker 4: when George W. Bush was first like the president, I
Speaker 4: was at mad TV. They're like, there's nothing to do
Speaker 4: with this guy, and like, I think there is. We'll
Speaker 4: figure something out, man. So it comes. There's stuff that
Speaker 4: comes along, and you just have to wait for the
Speaker 4: right moment, and something has to be a defining moment
Speaker 4: for the person. And then I think there could be
Speaker 4: so Tom Brady he does have a relaxed, kind of
Speaker 4: almost vocal fry type of voice at times, so there's
Speaker 4: probably something to do that. But what is he what?
Speaker 3: What exactly?
Speaker 4: What's the what's the thing that you're making fun of him?
Speaker 4: Being a great looking guy that's got tons of money?
Speaker 4: That only so much there is to do with that,
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not really pulling that off.
Speaker 2: Well, so I was getting what would you uh, what
Speaker 2: would uh what would maybe John Gruden think though about
Speaker 2: Tom Brady holding.
Speaker 3: His nose when he jumps in the ocean. Did you
Speaker 3: see that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I saw that. Man. You know that's a different
Speaker 4: kind of tuck rule right there. Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: Take a look. Come on, man, you're here to get
Speaker 4: some water. You take a chance. You're talking about guys
Speaker 4: out there on the field not playing during the preseason.
Speaker 4: What are you doing? You put not a pair of
Speaker 4: goggles one of those bald cat types of things and
Speaker 4: a snorkel? Is that what you're doing in the pool?
Speaker 4: Come on, man, be a man, do something.
Speaker 2: Hey, you wouldn't do that, right, Frank Callendo. You wouldn't
Speaker 2: hold your nose jumping into the ocean or a pool
Speaker 2: or he was in Alaska. Didn't have anything to do
Speaker 2: with like the temperatures.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: When we had that conversation, I read all our feedback
Speaker 2: and it had like something on his ears every every
Speaker 2: so often, one tim it would be like, what's wrong
Speaker 2: with holding your nose when you jump in the pool?
Speaker 3: I got to be it's like, yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, Rich offended one of our guys here, Dan Byer,
Speaker 2: because we were saying that only lam Os do that,
Speaker 2: and yeah, a lot of people take offense to that.
Speaker 2: Are you a hold your nose when you go in
Speaker 2: the water guy?
Speaker 4: No, I'd rather risky and fact instead of yes, having
Speaker 4: somebody make fun of me. Yeah, I don't think I do,
Speaker 4: but I know there are probably times where I have
Speaker 4: because I have gotten water in my ear water and
Speaker 4: you know, it just feels like it goes in your
Speaker 4: brain but not not consistent.
Speaker 3: And it goes back to what you said.
Speaker 2: When you see stuff like that, you got to take
Speaker 2: your opportunities to make fun of Tom Brady because there's
Speaker 2: not a whole lot, right.
Speaker 4: So yeah, well there was a roast about it.
Speaker 3: Oh that was y yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that is
Speaker 3: true and I.
Speaker 4: Guess we have used up all the material.
Speaker 2: When you find those nuances and you have an original,
Speaker 2: that's the jackpot for guys in your line of work.
Speaker 2: I would imagine, right if you're the first to pick
Speaker 2: up on that, because then a lot of times you
Speaker 2: see people doing impressions of other people's impressions.
Speaker 4: And nobody knows who's the originator. It used to be
Speaker 4: if somebody broke out an impression, you'd have to find
Speaker 4: a different take on the person. Now everybody just steals area.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I've felt like there's one. I don't
Speaker 4: know it'll be good enough because I have to rev
Speaker 4: up to get into it. But it's Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 4: That's the one I've been doing. It's kind of the
Speaker 4: Landman Billy Bob, but it's it's this thing where there's
Speaker 4: a there's a moment where you can figure out where
Speaker 4: he's coming from, which gives you his point of view,
Speaker 4: and it's basically he'll say something like a French word
Speaker 4: and then follow it up with a rip. They'll be
Speaker 4: like that sounds pretty good. Guys, well, arive of dirty
Speaker 4: jeck ass. Like those types of moments like you hear
Speaker 4: those and you hear this elegant word or reva dirty
Speaker 4: and then jack ass so those and he's like, my kill,
Speaker 4: it's like a sound like Hank Hill. I don't understand that.
Speaker 4: So he's it's kind of in there without going full
Speaker 4: cartoon Hank Hill. But it's what's that moment? And then
Speaker 4: how do you bring it out and make it more
Speaker 4: of a character and the impression. So that's the difficult thing.
Speaker 4: You might have to be able to do the sound alike,
Speaker 4: but what's the way to make it? Try and be funny.
Speaker 4: And the sports guys are always for me easier because
Speaker 4: the analysts, what do they do? They break down things
Speaker 4: in the sports world. So what do you do with
Speaker 4: the analyst and the you just break down things in
Speaker 4: the real world. And that's basically comedy for everybody's long,
Speaker 4: they know who the person is.
Speaker 2: Hey, Frank, you're the best in the game when it
Speaker 2: comes to this stuff. Your comedy's great. But as a result,
Speaker 2: you've gotten a lot of sports perks along the way
Speaker 2: because you know you're you're so well received in that world.
Speaker 2: What are some of your greatest sport perk moments? I
Speaker 2: guess did you ever take batting practice or anything. Because
Speaker 2: you're a good athlete from what we hear. So what's
Speaker 2: the coolest you done?
Speaker 4: I was decent. My dad was a minor league baseball
Speaker 4: player in the White Sox organization years and years and
Speaker 4: years ago. I grew up playing baseball nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 4: fourteen and under AAU national champion. By the way, I
Speaker 4: was an All American on that team eighteen and another
Speaker 4: team from Wisconsin had Craig Counsel on it. Whatever happened
Speaker 4: to him.
Speaker 3: That's really cool. That's really really cool. Man.
Speaker 4: I've done things to take kids too. I've done batting practice,
Speaker 4: I've hit some I've hit some batting practice. It's more
Speaker 4: of having my kids meet people like my son got
Speaker 4: to meet J. J. Watt, Drew Breeze, those types of people.
Speaker 4: That's that's the cool are the coolest moments for me.
Speaker 4: So those are the perks I use the most, and
Speaker 4: I do. The NBA lets me do lots of stuff,
Speaker 4: go to the Summer League and the NBA Cup and
Speaker 4: all those types of things. So oh f one. My
Speaker 4: daughter is a huge F one fan, a Jeanne Leclair fan,
Speaker 4: and I've been over there in like basically in the
Speaker 4: pits and stuff at F one with her and that's
Speaker 4: that's that's real.
Speaker 2: Do you feel the pressure like doing BP from Warning
Speaker 2: Track Power?
Speaker 3: Like, what's that like for you? Because you're a fan
Speaker 3: like we are.
Speaker 4: I'm fifty two. I would love to. I mean, I
Speaker 4: was the kid who was when I was young. I
Speaker 4: was in high school. Looking at USA today in that
Speaker 4: little rectangle with all the batting averages, that's how we
Speaker 4: got all the you know, Andres Galaraga was always flirting
Speaker 4: with four hundred ye that type of deal, so I
Speaker 4: uh yeah, I mean there's a there's a nervousness. I
Speaker 4: remember we did it here with it the Diamondbacks, and
Speaker 4: Tory Lavulo was like, what do you got? You know,
Speaker 4: kind of like a Wilford Brimley looking at Roy Hobbs,
Speaker 4: and I just wasn't Roy Hobbs. I had the trombone case,
Speaker 4: but there wasn't a bad in it, so I went
Speaker 4: after I hit all right. I had a quick swing,
Speaker 4: But you don't realize how hard it is to hit
Speaker 4: a ball with a wooden bat if you haven't done
Speaker 4: it for twenty years.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's it's and the pressure involved in the moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Rich swears he's gonna jack right out.
Speaker 4: I'm a pressure gang man. No, I yeah, there is
Speaker 4: that moment. You don't what I what I did was
Speaker 4: I when I got into the box, I bunted a
Speaker 4: couple of times and I laid a couple down. You
Speaker 4: kind of know what you're doing. I'm like I used
Speaker 4: to small.
Speaker 2: What he went ap Otaco just to show he could
Speaker 2: frank You know you brought up your kids interestingly enough?
Speaker 2: Is it funny how I feel the same way perks
Speaker 2: Now it's like you try to. I feel like I
Speaker 2: try to impress my kids more than I've tried to
Speaker 2: impress women when I was single. Is there like a
Speaker 2: weird sense of like you you get joy out of
Speaker 2: like what can I show my kids?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Like I said, when when a fame, like a
Speaker 4: super famous person knows me and it helps my kid
Speaker 4: meet the person that that's pretty I would take that
Speaker 4: over almost anything. I mean I did. Another one I
Speaker 4: pulled off was in Vegas and this guy's actually a big,
Speaker 4: big sports fan. Michael Bubla, My wife, my daughter, we
Speaker 4: went to go see Michael Boublay and bou Bla is
Speaker 4: doing an Elvis impression. He's like, I'm no, Frank, Callianda
Speaker 4: and my wife during the show, cause do you think
Speaker 4: you think he does that every time? I'm like, I
Speaker 4: don't know. And then he dedicated a song to Juliet
Speaker 4: Calliander my daughter.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and then she's like, what did you do that?
Speaker 4: Kind of like it was almost it was it was
Speaker 4: almost Avengers. What did you do?
Speaker 3: That's awesome? Man, Frank.
Speaker 2: You know, I got I gotta I gotta give Frank
Speaker 2: some props because not that he's Cara topic, No, not
Speaker 2: those times.
Speaker 3: Cat.
Speaker 2: I gotta give you props, Frank, because I think because
Speaker 2: you do so many great impressions, people don't realize what
Speaker 2: makes Frank awesome.
Speaker 3: And it's what he does with the impression. It's like
Speaker 3: the content is hilarious.
Speaker 2: Like if you if you did an impression, but you
Speaker 2: did the impression not saying anything that funny, it's just
Speaker 2: an impression. I I just love your ability to like
Speaker 2: write great material for your impressions and you know, also
Speaker 2: just roll with the improv on it.
Speaker 3: That's like that's the skill right there. No, yeah, I
Speaker 3: put a little bit of me.
Speaker 12: I put a little bit of me, and those impressions
Speaker 12: and I think that's they'll come back to the same
Speaker 12: reference points all the time. So, uh, there is that,
Speaker 12: but it's the same thing. The thing that you guys
Speaker 12: like about me is the thing that might drive somebody
Speaker 12: else crazy. And as far as impressions that aren't that funny,
Speaker 12: I probably have a ton of those two that are
Speaker 12: just like single and triple word impressions.
Speaker 3: So well were we appreciate you, Frank.
Speaker 2: Sorry sorry for the technical issues earlier, but you know, man, I.
Speaker 12: Mean this is I can't believe you kept me out.
Speaker 4: What did you lose?

Speaker 2: on social media.
Speaker 5: Homes and who's that guy, big Poppy?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I feel like, Danny g is
Speaker 2: talking about me. Guess what, You're absolutely right. I'm a
Speaker 2: fan of guys like Frank Calliedo. Absolutely he's the best.
Speaker 3: In the game. So to him, Frank on stage, I
Speaker 3: didn't get it.
Speaker 2: Just ask him about UFOs. I was hoping for a
Speaker 2: little uh Jeff Jeff Goldblow. Actually I wanted to hear
Speaker 2: his thoughts on the UAPs they saw on Mars the
Speaker 2: Jellyfish UFOs. When we found out we were having Frank
Speaker 2: on the show. When we reached out, I just happen
Speaker 2: to Google, like what's Frank's best known impressions. It's a
Speaker 2: list where you keep having to press more, more and more. YO,
Speaker 2: long ass list. So the very talented Frank Kelly and
Speaker 2: and we do have Drew Brees coming up NFL Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer, So very very cool show.
Speaker 3: I got random question for you before we get to
Speaker 3: all that w n B. A. Yeah, what about it?
Speaker 2: All all the drama and all the off courtnig.
Speaker 3: Riding on drama?
Speaker 4: Bro?
Speaker 2: But but is that a good thing or not? And
Speaker 2: I wonder because in life, a lot.
Speaker 3: Of times, if it leads, it leads.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I know you, I know you love that that phrase,
Speaker 2: and I'm not I'm not saying it's something you made up,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 3: Did the whole If it bleeds, it leads.
Speaker 2: I think that there are many things in the pop
Speaker 2: culture world, and maybe not so much the sports world,
Speaker 2: that do thrive on drama. Drama, drama, because we joke
Speaker 2: sometimes that there are storylines that we you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of men will say I don't like drama, and
Speaker 2: women will be like, what do you mean you don't
Speaker 2: like drama? You just don't like drama in our form
Speaker 2: sports And there's a lot of guy stuff that has drama,
Speaker 2: trade deadlines and like, oh you see friendly again, Like
Speaker 2: a show like ours is very barber shop and it's
Speaker 2: the story behind the scene if you're telling me, If
Speaker 2: you tell me when you see Kevin Durant, you know,
Speaker 2: taking shots at Klay Thompson on Twitter. We we as
Speaker 2: men and women get by and everyone loves at least
Speaker 2: a little ounce of drama. And I feel like the WNBA,
Speaker 2: it all started with Kitlyn Clark and Angel Reese and
Speaker 2: went to the trans women in sports, It went to
Speaker 2: the I think it's pretty Sophie Cunningham and then.
Speaker 3: Race gets involved.
Speaker 2: Do you think the w NBA can last long term
Speaker 2: with the biggest poll being the drama side of it,
Speaker 2: Because I'll be honest, were the coaches love to say,
Speaker 2: like these.
Speaker 3: Women are putting a good product on the court. It's
Speaker 3: being overlooked.
Speaker 2: But I feel like maybe, but I don't even know
Speaker 2: if people would care if not for the drama. Because
Speaker 2: you say w NBA, you're thinking the trans conversation, You're
Speaker 2: thinking Sophie Cunningham, You're thinking Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2: So could a league continue to just grow with drama
Speaker 2: being at the forefront. I think they're loving it. I
Speaker 2: think that it's almost more w I think it's intentional
Speaker 2: at this point, and it's the narrative that everybody goes with.
Speaker 2: I'll prove it right now. Yeah, what do you got
Speaker 2: the dream versus the fever? Are people talking about the
Speaker 2: win and overtime? Maybe Sam is that's about it a
Speaker 2: fever dream?
Speaker 3: No, but that's proof, right are you?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Yo, man, did you see that big win fever and overtime?
Speaker 2: Not one of your buddy said that. But there is
Speaker 2: a crazy story about how security made them fans made
Speaker 2: fans cover up their shirts. They went to the JumboTron
Speaker 2: and it was pro trans T shirts and like anti
Speaker 2: trans T shirts and security they're saying, drop the ball
Speaker 2: because they made them cover up the shirts, and it
Speaker 2: becomes a bigger story than the actual game.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. It happens all the time. It's
Speaker 3: not coincidence.
Speaker 2: The fact that no one, no one is you know,
Speaker 2: talking about the liberty aces.
Speaker 3: Those are teams right, yeah.
Speaker 2: No, The fact that no one's liberty, liberties, liberty, the liberty, liberty, liberties,
Speaker 2: the liberty.
Speaker 5: Can I throw a stat out for you guys, the
Speaker 5: numbers say people are paying attention. The wa NBA is
Speaker 5: having record attendance and viewership entering the final weeks of
Speaker 5: this season, reportedly up fifteen percent over last year.
Speaker 2: And that's fantastic for them, it's fantastic for women's sports.
Speaker 2: But if the driving force is drama again, that guess what.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things in life they get by
Speaker 2: based on drama, right, reality show genre?
Speaker 3: Again, I said, there's a lot of drama and sports already.
Speaker 2: But do you think the WNBA should continue to lean
Speaker 2: into this or should they be like, no, listen, we're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna try to steer clear of this and
Speaker 2: seen it up.
Speaker 3: They feed each other.
Speaker 2: I think that drama brings people in, Like if you
Speaker 2: hear something crazy going on or beef in the WNBA,
Speaker 2: that might make you want it to in. I think
Speaker 2: that's why ratings are up. And then I got to ask,
Speaker 2: I think that's being part of it. Before we welcome
Speaker 2: Drew Brees in a little while, I do want to
Speaker 2: know if you think there's some type of resolution anytime
