Speaker 1 (00:00):
And as promised, our good buddy Frank Caliendo calling in.
And this is awesome because not too often do we
book a guest and they're like, hey, I've got a
com rex so it'll sound good, so it's not just
a phone. But Frank does that because he's fancy that way.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's going on? Man, What I like to do is
lie to people until him I'm there right now. But
you gave away the secret. Sorry, no, no, I actually,
uh am glad you did it. It proves how cool
I am.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I'm read.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I'm just I'm just sitting in my office that I'm
redoing right now and people, I'm sorry, I'm slightly distracted
while I'm talking to you, but people keep sending me
texts that John gruden Athilia wood Man then reinstated into
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Man, it's pretty good stuff right there.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Man, did you like when that whole thing happened with him,
with the emails and all that kind of stuff? Like,
for example, one of the first questions I wanted to
ask you, you had to have been happy about how
the election turned out, because that's good for you. Are
you happy when you hear things like that about grooon
because it's one of your voices you can do.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Uh yeah, I mean I know John really well.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So, I mean I I was Textingle and a lot
of that stuff was going on, and just seeing all
the different stuff that was happening, and then to see
him making his comeback, which is great because he's everywhere
and he's you know, he's just a guy that I
don't even know. I don't I don't even know how
to say it. But he's a good guy, an old
(01:27):
school guy in a lot of ways and doesn't always.
I mean, a lot of us say things wrong. But
when you're a coach, it's different than when you're a comedian.
When you're a comedian, like it's a joke, it's a joke,
when you're when you're a coach, it's like everything. Everybody
takes everything you say seriously and some things are in
context and saying maybe you just make a mistake and
you're just an idiot at times. And that happens to
(01:47):
all of us too in different respects, maybe not the same,
but but it does happen. So in terms of like
the election and with I stayed away from the Gruden
stuff for a while just because I knew him and
it was weird and too close to you know, to
do something with that. But people were texting me and
asking me to be on the radio like in Vegas
(02:09):
and stuff. Hey, come and read the emails. I'm not
gonna do no, no, no, no, no, it's it's that's
all weird stuff right there. But I'll tell you while
something was going on, it was interesting because I was
in Italy two years ago. My family and I had
never been over there, and I'm Italian, so we had
to visit the homeland. So where we go to Italy
and I take a picture of me in front of
(02:30):
the coliseum and I put it up on Instagram. And
I tend not to do enough social media, so I
start I was trying to do it in Italy to
you know, show people this. I guess I'm a world
traveler or something.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
So I put it on.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I think I did Rome in Rome, in Rome, in
Rome in Rome, and my phone is in Rome. That's
Rome Cube. Great job, you know. Uh, So I did that.
I put up the picture of me in front of
the Colosseum, and I got a text from the guy
who Jeff Leonardo, who is Gruden's the right hand man,
And he's like, did you know John is in Rome
(03:05):
right now? I'm like, no, I don't have grudar. How
would I know that he's in room? So he's like,
he's there.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Text him?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So I text John and uh, He's.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Like, you I go for dinner. Let's get some dinner, man.
So we go.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I meet him for dinner, my family, his family. He
goes to the wrong restaurant first, even though he set
it up. And I'm like, I'm like.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
If you're not five minutes early, you're late. Man, what
are you doing here? You know?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But there's nothing funnier than John Gruden sitting at a
restaurant in Rome going, hey, you neat the rest of
that spaghetti? Man's that looks pretty good right there? Is
that maynara, Don't worry, I'll pay for this man. Listen
to a little lady in the tramp.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
That sounds like something he would say too. He's so goofy.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, he's just he's he's a he is he is.
I know some people might not find him funny, so
some people find him to be, you know, over the top,
but he is. He does say a lot of things
almost out of the side of his mouth.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You're like, gee, is that a joke? Are you just insane?
It's there's a.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Lot of that, so so yeah, So it's good to
see he's back. And I know that bothered him and
why wouldn't it that he was out of the the
Tampa Bay Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
But now he's back. So a ring of honor whatever
it's called.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, for those who had not heard the bottom of
the Bucks statement sent out an hour ago, upon further reflection,
we've decided to reinstate him John Gruden into the Buccaneer's
Ring of Honor, and Frank the stories you're telling. Obviously
you're friendly with him, you know him, you're friends with him.
He's among many people who you have an impression for
that you've done the impression for them and with them.
(04:36):
The late great Bill Walton also in that group, and
there are others. Do you have that just touch of
nervousness before an impression sitting next to the person you're
impersonating begins and then it does seem like it usually
goes well.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, yeah, I mean like when I was with Walton,
he didn't even know he was just he was in
his own world, remembering, reflecting, enjoying it. That's the thing
about Walton is that his partner, Dave Pass, who lives
in Arizona and I'm very good friends with I live
in Tempe.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He lives in Chandler with bordering.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Communities, so he he had the best line of the
night's talking about how Bill actually focused more on the
game than I did, and he'd never seen Bill focus
more on the game than anybody else, so it was
it was fun to do that with Bill. He I've
known Bill for years. He would bring people to shows.
The first time I ever did a show, a show
in front of him, was in San Diego, California, for
(05:31):
a charity and they're like, Bill's in the crowd. We
don't know if you want to do the Bill impression
Bill Walton, and I was like, you know, it's not mean,
I do this stuff. It's just silly. And they're like, okay,
but his back is hurting, and it's like, let's just
see and I started.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I remember being at Berkeley blotching a beer, not connecting
on my face, luggage middle Colorers. I could field down
and people are like tense in the crowd, but you
see in the back Walton stands up hilarous.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Encore. I wasn't even done yet. He's like, what did
they say on court? Just get going, make it happen.
This is what it's all about here.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, they were always playing for the ultimate prize, an
NBA championship, the.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Conference of champions. Here we go, throw it down man exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Frank Caliendo joining us here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
He is going to be at the Houston Improv coming
up next well, actually I say next month. It's basically
next month, but it's April. We're at the very tail
end of February here. Saturday, April fifth, he's got two shows,
and then Sunday, April sixth, he'll have one show at
the Houston Improv. You can go to improvtx dot com
(06:37):
slash Houston to get tickets to that. All of those shows,
whicheveryone works best for you. Wex and I are planning
to come see you, okay, and I have I absolutely
have to ask you because you know, you have met
a lot of these people and you have done impressions.
And then I asked you about the election. Everybody, I
feel like has a Donald Trump impression. But this guy
(06:58):
is like, it's so far. This sounds stupid even say,
but I really do believe it. It's so far beyond
a presidency at this point, is it not. It's like
a pop culture phenomenon, whether you hate the guy or
love the guy, or you're somewhere in between, which I
don't think there is any in between.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, I'm probably the one part.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I try to stay on all politicians any side. I
just try and look at it as far as comedy
and try not to put my own I always I
always balanced on either side, and I will make fun
of the people and hit him a little bit with
just certain things, but then I hit the other side too.
That's the way I've always done it. But Trump has changed.
I mean Trump used to be that he would he
(07:36):
did a lot of yelling. I did a sketch with
him back at the on the NFL on Fox, believe
it or not, and it was I've just shided to
run for president, and he's standing right next to me.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I decided to run for president, and I've just shided
to not run for president. I've decided to not run
for president.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I don't even know if they're running anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So we did that back and forth and then he's like,
after we did the sketch, he's like, do you have
a second?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I'm like hey. He goes come with me, and it
was like Willy Wonka, come with me. You will see.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So he takes me down to this kiosk in Trump
Tower that's where we're doing the sketch and uh.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
He's like uh. He's like, you want to tie? Here's
the tie.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He gives me, decides he's like, do you wear cup links?
I'm like not yet, because I'm hoping he's gonna give
me some. And then he grabs this watch and he
takes the price tag off and he's like are you married?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
And like yeah, it goes more important question do you
like your wife?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
And I was like what.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Kind of question is that?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But he sends me out into New York City with
a watch that I think is worth thousands of dollars.
Turns out it was costume jewelry, but it was It
was a great story to have and do that. But
the that's you know, my Trump is just as much
as he exaggerates, My Trump is exaggerating beyond that, Like.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
We're going to make America great again. Then we're gonna
make the galaxy great again, and not just the Milky Way.
We're gonna make snick Ears were great again. We're gonna
make all the Candy Bears great again. And then we're
gonna make the universe great again. And not just the universe,
We're gonna make the Marvel Universe, the DC Universe.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
They're gonna be better. They're gonna be better.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
We feel like the broadcasters because there's so much sports
on your plate because of this, you know, the inside
the NBA crew. You could do Barkley, you could do Shack,
you can do both. We we talk about Tony Romo
quite a bit here on the show because he loves
saying Jim over and over and over again throughout.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It's like he's roughing up a car.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh Jim, Jim, Jem Jem Jim Jim, Jim Jim Jim.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Here we go Jim Tonay, Yeah, the uh And that's
my only thing. Nance once asked me why I only
said Tony. I'm like, well, I don't do a great
Jim nantz, so I just when he gets excited, he
goes to the sideline, So I just do that with
Tonay and they do that on the broadcast.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Now if you they did.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It in the in the was it the divisional? I can't,
but they uh, they started going, here we go, Jim
Toney like after because there's Mike Caliendo, who's not related
to me, is on the Chiefs, And when they would
bring him up, Nance actually said Mike Kellyando blocking like
he's Frank Kellyando.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
So those are always good. Oh Jim, here we go.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, yeah, wex wex is. How do I say this delicately?
He's not a big as Tony fan because.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Well it's funny because Roma was.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was no stra damis and then suddenly he was
knows nothing about football. Yes, like he went from predicting
every play to not.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh Jim, what's gonna happen here? That's your job, Tony.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know it's there was always that, and now he's
kind of settled into the middle again. I like Romo,
and I'll tell you why. I was finding what I
like about people. But the thing he has that kid
like you know, kid in a candy store. Oh Jim,
look at that, Yes, sweethearts are gonna last all day.
And then look at that's fruit stripes gum. It's not
gonna last more than three seconds, but here we go
jump everlasting gop stop or Willie Wonka, come with me.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
We're back.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
We're back with We took the walk of Ada, We
took the trump of Ada, and it swirled in a
circle just like my.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's Frank Calliando.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
He's at the Houston Improv coming up Saturday, April fifth,
two shows that night and one on Sunday, April sixth.

against it. But before I let you go, we got
to hear a little bit of Frank Callendo. You've do
Frank Callendo. Morgan Freeman, I should say, you did the
liner for us from way back, And it's like, I
(11:24):
don't like Morgan Freeman doesn't exactly. It's not like there's
this this huge long list of movies that are projects
that he's got on the horizon, and yet it's probably
my favorite one that you do well.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
And in fact of the matter, is I climbed through
five hundred yards of the fifth Slop. I can't even imagine.
Oh maybe I just don't want to.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's always fun to just list things with it. I
think we did what do we do? Cereal one time?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Frosted flanks. They're great, snap, crackle and pop. That's Krispy Cheerio.
There's a honey of it. Oh, there's Honting Nut, cherryos,
apple Jacks, count chocolate, Frankenberry Booberry for about seven people
on Earth. Yeah, smurfberry crunch is fun to eat. My goodness,

sugar in there, it's just called smacks. Still got the
same frog.

on your plate because of this, you know, the inside
the NBA crew. You could do Barkley, you could do Shack,
you can do both. We we talk about Tony Romo
quite a bit here on the show because he loves
saying Jim over and over and over again throughout.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Oh Jim, Jim, Jem Jem Jim Jim, Jim Jim Jim.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Here we go Jim Tonay, Yeah, the uh And that's
my only thing. Nance once asked me why I only
said Tony. I'm like, well, I don't do a great
Jim nantz, so I just when he gets excited, he
goes to the sideline, So I just do that with
Tonay and they do that on the broadcast.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
It in the in the was it the divisional? I can't,
but they uh, they started going, here we go, Jim
Toney like after because there's Mike Caliendo, who's not related
to me, is on the Chiefs, And when they would
bring him up, Nance actually said Mike Kellyando blocking like
he's Frank Kellyando.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was no stra damis and then suddenly he was
knows nothing about football. Yes, like he went from predicting
every play to not.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Oh Jim, what's gonna happen here? That's your job, Tony.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know it's there was always that, and now he's
kind of settled into the middle again. I like Romo,
and I'll tell you why. I was finding what I
like about people. But the thing he has that kid
like you know, kid in a candy store. Oh Jim,
look at that, Yes, sweethearts are gonna last all day.
