I felt like I'm not supposed to be a. He's not supposed to be a certain distance with it. Like Willie. Are you out of your 20s now? Oh, I'm 32, big guy. I'm all the way out. Swear I look so young. Gosh. What I know. All that hair. I'm gonna Lie about it. I think, I think I want to be like, yeah, I'm 26. Like how ladies do get away with it.

And Frank, Willie G. And Al Jackson are on the road. I told you this a while ago. When I have people open for me, part of the deal is you get to drive me around and get ordered around and stuff. No, but you do drive around a bunch. But today, the whole plan, I think the plan the whole time was Willie was going to pick me up and bring me to the station. I think for two weeks I thought that's what it was. And then yesterday I texted him, you're grabbing me for the show tomorrow. Oh, no, I've got to be there earlier at a better part of the show than you're on. So I was like, yeah, I was like, wait, what? What? You're not coming to get me? So. But I had a backup plan because it's Willie. But no, it's fine. I did what I always go. I go, frank, do you know who my dad is? And then I just took care of everything. Oh, yeah, yeah, I did say, are you taking me to Bob and Dad tomorrow? That's right. I like that very much. Bob and Pop is better than right there. Frank, give me more coffee.

Tom Griswold
Chicken, but I mean, these people have. I want to know more about their lives. She has a pet chicken and apparently really cares about it. If the guy goes, I got to take that.
Pat Godwin
Right? Exactly.
Tom Griswold
Maybe it was like a custody battle. Maybe people love their chick. They love love their animals. Must look like a dog.
Pat Godwin
That chicken, by the way, was returned unharmed to her owner. And the guy was found in the woods still clutching the chicken. He's been arrested.
Tom Griswold
Wow. It's got to be tough being a guy found in the woods, you know? You think you found a good enough? Things haven't gone great. Yeah, you're getting. You're getting tased holding a chicken. You're an unincorporated whatever. It was Portland County. Yeah, it just sounds like an interesting bunch of folks. And here's Jon Gruden as a chicken. George Bush as a. It was very good, I'm sure. What's good? I tell you what, man. Now wait a second. I was trying to do voices randomly for Tom. How about this one? How about William Shatner is a Chicken, but. Took me a second, but I got to the colonel Kirk. Oh, thank you very much, Captain Spock. Shulu. You can't do Sulu, can you? No, you can't. Now, Pat, you have a chicken song for us. It's for you.

Well, I broke down her back door. Gonna make some fricassee. Oh, my girlfriend loves that frickin chicken. Had a crew me for a loop. Cops are trying to find me. So I just flew the coop. I kidnapped her pet chicken and now I'm on the lamb they caught in the kitchen with a frying pan. Yeah. All right. Chicken for Tommy G. A tribute to the great little feet. Can I, can I be honest for a second? Yes, sir. I didn't think that song was going to be great at the end. And at the end I was like, this is tremendous. Thank you very much. Like at the beginning I was like, I don't know if I'm buying it. I just bought 100%. I was buying it in the beginning either. Yeah, come in. No, I knew, I knew I was going. When you frickesy something, what does it mean? I have no idea. You hear it all the time. But I don't know how to fricassee. I don't know.
Pat Godwin
Let me look it up.
Tom Griswold
I think it's lemon lime and some capers. Oh, is that right? Lemon lime? Are you just a great liar?
Pat Godwin
It says do. Made with pieces of meat that have been browned in butter and served in a soft. In a sauce later with cooking stock.
Tom Griswold
So I had no idea. Okay. You're right though. It's one of those things you. It's. I think it's because it's such a funny word. It is funny. Yeah. No idea.
Pat Godwin
Frequency looks good now I'm hungry.
Tom Griswold
I'm getting hungry now. Thank you very much. Frank Caliendo is here with us. Frank, everything going great at home? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wonderful. Mother in law's still there. It's great. Oh, good, good. Yeah, really good. So I'm still on the road. Hey, I tell you, no respect at all. You know. What a crowd. You guys are great. Does your mother in law enjoy the. The Frank Caliendo voices? I don't, I. I don't know. Does she ask for like can you do John Barrymore? So does he have the same frame of reference as you? Yes. Yes. In other words, yes. Do dick have. Sweetheart, you're doing a hell of a cavet. We need a little more Spiro Agnew in the house. That Jack Parr killed me. No, I don't, I don't know. I don't think nobody around the house really wants me to do voices. I don't think there's any of that at all. Your kids do any voices? Both kids do a Jon Gruden. I remember they. Juliet does the funniest one because just to see at the time she was like a 13 year old little girl. I tell you what, man, that's pretty good. We're just all doing the Gruden family. It's tremendous. Everybody opening up boxes inside a box at the. It doesn't get any better than that little spider 2y. Banana cream pie for breakfast. I'll tell you what, we fricasseed it, man. Fricassee some. Anybody know what fricassee is? I wonder what that kind of stuff is. I'd like to. I remember our Woody Woodpecker. Remember Woody Woodpecker? Oh, sure. They used to have pressure cook, gator and sassafras tea. Sassafras. I was thinking it was frequency. Turns out I had two words, confusing sassafras and fricassee. You could put them together, man. In Mississippi. That's a lot of syllables and not only making a lot of sense right now. You're right, Mr. Groove. Yeah. Don't email. Don't email anything. John, you did a great job. I heard that time where you got to the end of the sentence, you couldn't think of that last word. We were rooting for you to get it. Like, I take my time. That's pretty good. I'm careful. Rob Schneider's like, you can do it. I do. I do. Rob Schneider, man. John Gurdon doing a Rob Schneider. Wow. I did. I. That's inception, man. Leonardo DiCaprio, when you got John Gruden. All right. OK, back to you guys. John Gruden, currently unemployed. It's always a pleasure to see you, Frank. Veteran standup comedian, a man who's done many bits of television. Have you ever been in a movie? Yeah, I did. I'm trying to think if I've done more than one movie. I've been cut from a couple movies. I did a movie. What was that called? The Comebacks. Is that what I was in? Oh, sure. The football deal. I was an announcer. David Keckner movie. Right, right. And it was like. Like an Air Police Squad Naked Gun kind of movie with football. And I was the announcer. And the big game starts up. I was only there for, like, I don't know, two hours. But they used me for the commercials and stuff like that. It was Al Michaels and John Madden calling the game. Unbelievable, what we're seeing here. Yeah. You know, you look at. You see what's happening on the. And then they cut. It's me just doing all the voices of the announcers for the game. So that's a good gag. It was a great gag. Yeah. Yeah. And it worked. It worked really well for the commercials. Nobody, apparently. It was decent for the commercials, but not great to draw people into the theaters. Am I correct in saying. Isn't there a new. Is it Police Squad? They're bringing back Naked Gun. Yeah, With Naked Gun. Liam Neeson. Yes. Don't Call me Shirley. That'll be great. Hopefully. Yes. Yeah. He's a great choice. He is so serious. And I've been, I've been thinking about that because it's an element of him just taking those. What'd you call it? Such obvious things. But the, the. Have you ever seen a grown man naked? Do you like movies without gladiators? Yeah. Like those lines. He's funny in Ted. The movie Ted. Yeah. Well, the first time I saw it was Life's Too Short. Oh, yeah. Where he does the bit with the little person from Willow. Yeah. Warwick Davis. Real good. And he's got to do. I'd like to do some comedy improvisation. Stand up. Here's a list of things and he's like, oh, you've brought a list. I'm good at making lists. Yeah, he's funny. There's a terrific book about the making of the movie Airplane. Okay. And about how they had to tell these guys, no, we want you to be serious. They didn't want them to be. You know, we're handling the comedy here. You guys be really serious. So they've got Lloyd Bridges being totally serious the whole. So I'm looking forward to it. That's a great element of comedy when you play things over the top so seriously that you don't know the comedy's going on when such silliness is. I think those. The people that wrote that and correct me if I'm wrong, somebody can Google it, but I think they were from Wisconsin. I think some of the people from that group and one of the guys who bounced out of there created comedy sports. I think it was Dick chud now. So there was like a whole. Because they did Kentucky Fried movies. I thought that was great. Yeah, they did the theater first. Kentucky Fried Theater. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. And they made Kentucky Fried Movie. Right. And it was all about that. Just the ridiculous. Top secret was I think was done by somebody different, but very similar. Oh, it is the Zucker Brothers. Oh, is that Zucker's. Oh, yeah, Zuckerberg. Val Kilmer's debut. Yeah. Oh, man, there's such great stuff. We're hanging out with Frank Caliendo. Christie Lee is at the news desk. Have we missed anything?
Pat Godwin
The newest trend in wedding planning is to hire so called wedding content creators who capture your big day for social media.
Tom Griswold
I mean, this makes sense, doesn't it? Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I'm surprised it took this long. Web Society, a wedding planning hub features the following pitch. Wedding content creators are revolutionizing how couples document their big day. Working Alongside traditional photographers and videographers, these professionals focus on capturing real time social media ready content. Think candid moments behind the scenes snippets and trendy reels all tailored to tell your wedding story in an authentic and shareable way.
Tom Griswold
Also think another 10 grand.
Pat Godwin
An added bonus, wedding content creators have a very quick turnaround time, often within 24 hours of your wedding.
Tom Griswold
Okay. They get the honeymoon on your only fans page. Yeah. This is gonna work. You can make some money back. Yeah. Boy, weddings are ridiculous. Why? I mean, you really are spending an insane amount of money. That's just so stupid.
Pat Godwin
It's for the women.
Tom Griswold
Women don't like a nice down payment on a house.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, not as much as a wedding, apparently.
Tom Griswold
Why is that? What's the. What's the deal with that?
Pat Godwin
I was not that girl. Even though I've had four. I was not that girl.
Tom Griswold
You're not that girl. Sounds like you might be. Your last one was. Your last one was pretty low key, right?
Pat Godwin
Very low key.
Tom Griswold
Nobody was there.
Pat Godwin
Nobody. Just the family.
Tom Griswold
Well, you know, people learn.
Pat Godwin
I think they'd learn after three.
Tom Griswold
You go, hey, was it reflected in the gifts?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, we didn't get any. We didn't need wedding gifts.
Tom Griswold
Your friends go. By now, she's probably got a toaster. If not three. If not three of them. Okay.
Pat Godwin
No. Don't you think it's. I mean, very few men. Really? Did you have any input?
Tom Griswold
No, no, it's. I mean, don't you always like having that excuse? You can't when you get an invitation to a wedding going, oh, gee, I can't go. I've got a game I gotta watch. Best part of being stand up comedian is you work on weekends.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You can always get out of the wedding. Unless you're Willy who's bailing on Ms. Later in the tour. But I got a bachelor party. I'm gonna shave my mustache. It's a bachelor party. But I offered to.
Pat Godwin
You're too good a friend. All your friends are getting married. So you're in everyone's wedding.
Tom Griswold
Everyone's getting marri money anymore. It's the worst. I'm buying so many rice cookers, it's crazy.
Pat Godwin
Is that your go to gift?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's usually the cheapest thing on there. 40, 50 rice cooker. Are they always destination weddings? No, I mean, they've been destination for me because I don't live in the same town as these folks. But yeah, I got to go to Louisville. I got to go to, you know, Carmel. Yeah, I got to go Around. Yeah. There's nothing worse than a destination wedding, I think.
Pat Godwin
You got to spend a lot of money, go there.
Tom Griswold
It's usually reflected in the gift. Gift, I think. Well, the old thing is you don't. If you have to go, you. If it's destination for you, you don't have to give a gift. Yeah. Yeah, but I still like to give gifts. That's. That's the plane on the guilt there. I think that. I think they still want the gift. Well, yeah, I think it's still nice. I think a lot of times the guy would understand and the lady might not, because my wife would not. There's no gift. That'd be a big talk. And what's the rule? 10 years to give a gift. Right. You have 10 years. Really? I think it's 1 1. Sorry. Sorry, Christy. I thought.
Pat Godwin
I guess that's a good thing. If you want to see if it takes.
Tom Griswold
Have you been married two years? How long have you been married?
Pat Godwin
Maybe two years in May.
Tom Griswold
All right. I'm a year late on your gift.
Pat Godwin
That's okay.
Tom Griswold
