Comedian Frank Caliendo stops by and delivers various impersonations providing an update on the LeBron James decision.
Transcript
00:00Frank Caliendo, by the way, I mentioned it.
00:03He's coming to the Palm Beach Improv, October 9th and 10th,
00:06which, by the way, is in Wellington, the Palm Beach Improv.
00:09So that's a Friday and Saturday night.
00:11He's got three shows.
00:13You must see Frank Caliendo live before you die.
00:20Is that a fair sales tactic, or should I be a little less dramatic?
00:26No, I think you should ramp it up a little bit.
00:27But where did you come?
00:29You came and see me in Naples?
00:32Naples.
00:32So you made that trek, right?
00:35Now, I will tell you, for a lot of people who listen to us in Miami,
00:39the drive to Wellington is as far as my drive from Boca to Naples.
00:44How far would that be for you from Kendall, Solana?
00:48Wellington is probably about 70 minutes, 75 minutes.
00:52Yeah, but it's worth the trip.
00:55And again, before you die, you owe it to yourself to see Frank Caliendo live.
01:01But anyway.
01:01And if you leave on a Friday from the Miami area,
01:05there's a chance that you might get there before you die in traffic.
01:11Or you may die in traffic.
01:13You could.
01:13I didn't want to bring that up.
01:14I didn't want to be a part of that.
01:15On the 9th and 10th, Palm Beach Improv, three shows.
01:21You can get tickets right now at palmbeachimprov.com,
01:25or you can go to frankonstage.com.
01:29But no joke, because it's July, and I know what happens.
01:33People go, oh, it's July.
01:34I'll get my tickets later.
01:35I know from experience, trying to see Frank in concert, he's going to sell out.
01:42And you're going to be thanking yourself if you got your tickets in July,
01:45rather than waiting for October.
01:48How about that for a hard sell?
01:49It's pretty good.
01:50Death and doomsday prepping.
01:54Yeah.
01:54And death and a life of regret.
01:58I think they're okay in even August or September.
02:02But you're going to hear a lot from me before then,
02:05just because I want to sell out in advance.
02:08So this will be the most I've talked to you on the air multiple times,
02:12probably once or twice a month before I come.
02:15And then you won't hear from me again.
02:16I'll do the show.
02:17Until he's back.
02:18You won't hear from me at least 11 months.
02:22Maybe once after I do the show, just be like,
02:24see, I always do the show, even if I haven't done,
02:27even if I don't have something to sell.
02:29And then I disappear just once and pretend like I'm coming back multiple times.
02:33Get your tickets.
02:35Frankonstage.com.
02:35I think I mentioned this yesterday, but I think that's a,
02:38I think it's a bye week for the Hurricanes, October 9th and 10th.
02:42So you're not even, it's not even like the Saturday shows.
02:44You got to worry about, oh, am I going to be,
02:46when are they going to schedule the Hurricanes game?
02:48Is it going to be afternoon?
02:49Is it going to be night?
02:49Like there's no Canes game that weekend.
02:51So you get your tickets and you have the greatest Saturday of your life.
02:54I am the Canes game.
02:58So here's the thing.
03:00There's been absolutely no news about LeBron this week.
03:04We don't have any real.
03:06Well, there was a little news.
03:08It just wasn't, it wasn't from him.
03:10Right.
03:11Or it was, it was news, but it wasn't news.
03:14Right.
03:15It was fake news.
03:17Fake news.
03:18Because we got, you got, you got an intern.
03:20We got interns that are putting up all sorts of information.
03:23And it's the fake news.
03:24You can never believe some of the things that the people put up on the YouTube.
03:29But July, what did they say?
03:30July 27th.
03:31Is that what they said?
03:32July 27th.
03:33They said, it's going to be, there's, we're going to put up some type of information.
03:36And I said, you're not going to take a penny about it, but whatever it is.
03:40Trump's just, my Trump is, and you know, for me, it's not political.
03:43It's just making fun of everybody, but for, you could take it politically if that makes
03:47you happy.
03:47But Trump, like, he's not even saying full words anymore.
03:50He's on his way to Biden.
03:52He's, he's getting there.
03:53Cause he's old enough.
03:54Trump is 80.
03:56Right.
03:56Isn't he around 80?
03:57Biden's Biden was about the same age, but Biden was 80 going on 120.
04:03Trump is 80 going on about 95 at this point.
04:07But it's, you can see, you can see he's not quite as, as sharp as he was.
04:11I mean, I'm not as sharp as I was five years ago.
04:13I'm 52.
04:14It happens to all of us, but Trump will say, you're not going to be, because it's going
04:17to be something that we're going to be.
04:19That's going to be.
04:20And we're not, it's not going to be a guy, but it's going to be.
04:22Yeah.
04:23I got a goal.
04:23Did you say I got a goal?
04:24I said, I got a goal.
04:26There's so much gabagool where I was watching the Sopranos and I said, this is how you got
04:29to run the country.
04:30Like a gabagool.
04:34You don't even, I don't even think he knows.
04:35I haven't had a running gabagool joke on this show.
04:38Oh really?
04:39Five years.
04:40It's one of my favorite punchlines using gabagool for anything.
04:43No, you've pretty much done everything.
04:46Most of your punchlines make no sense either.
04:48So this is fitting in directly.
04:50I'm very rarely using full words.
04:53Yabba dabba doo.
04:54He said that Fred Flintstone said, gabagool, yabba dabba doo, gabagool.
04:57I said, yabba dabba doo, gabagool.
04:59He said, yeah.
05:00Badu.
05:00Gabba gabagool.
05:02Gabba gabba.
05:02Yo gabba gabba.
05:03You ever do yo gabba gabba gabagool?
05:05Yo gabba gabba gabagool.
05:06That's true.
05:08It's too much.
05:09Yabba dabba doo.
05:10Yo gabba gabagool.
05:12Try and say that 150 times.
05:13Joe Biden could say that.
05:17If Trump was in charge of the Miami Heat and the intern put up that faulty link for the 27th,
05:23would he have fired him?
05:24You're fired.
05:25You're fired.
05:25You're gone.
05:26You're gone.
05:26But we're not going to do it in public.
05:27We're going to say you did a great job and we're going to send you off into the sunset.
05:30But you're never coming back.
05:32You're going to go work for the Grizzlies.
05:34That's what you're going to do.
05:35You're going to work for the Grizzlies and put out as much information as you can because the Grizzlies, nobody
05:40cares.
05:40They got the Boozer kid.
05:42They got the Boozer kid.
05:43He's a fantastic.
05:45He's a rookie, but he's like a 32-year-old vet.
05:49He's a tremendous vet.
05:50But he's 19.
05:52He's 19.
05:55So spot on.
05:57All right.
05:58So give us what is going to happen.
06:00Can Al Pacino tell us the latest with LeBron James?
06:04Hawk, according to my sources, I got nothing.
06:09We've been looking around.
06:11There's nothing to say, but I'm trying to get some clicks.
06:14So I decided to call in.
06:19Al Pacino is worried about clicks.
06:21I love clicks.
06:24I never wanted to be in a click unless it was an acting click.
06:28And now I'm, or is that clique?
06:31But, oh, by the way, Gleek, favorite superhero, the monkey from the Super Friends.
06:37Zan, Jaina, and Gleek.
06:40Wonder twin powers activate.
06:42Shape of a gorilla.
06:45Form of donkey spit.
06:48Wow.
06:48Now, but right now, I got nothing about LeBron James, but we're going to keep you posted
06:57as information comes in.
07:00I thought I had seen every Wonder Twins episode of Super Friends, and I never saw the person
07:06take the form of donkey spit.
07:09I might have made that up.
07:12You don't even want to hear my analysis of Donkey Kong.
07:20I've heard that.
07:22That's a way back.
07:23Solana's probably too young to remember, but one of the Super Friends, the Wonder Twins,
07:28one of them had to take the form of some sort of water.
07:30It was generally a mist, maybe a vapor, perhaps an ice cube.
07:37Rarely, if ever, donkey spit.
07:39Well, it could be.
07:40It could have been.
07:40You don't know.
07:41You don't know.
07:42You don't know.
07:43Maybe they saved that for the PG-13 version.
07:46Maybe that's what it is.
07:49Any LeBron info from Adam Schefter?
07:52According to my sources, at this particular time, it appears there's very little coming
07:58through.
07:58We will stay here, ready for action, with my 37 and a half phones.
08:04How can I have a half a phone?
08:06Even I don't know.
08:09But I'm slowing down in my cadence so you can tell that I'm trying to think of the next set
08:18of words.
08:22So great.
08:24And if you see him on our YouTube stream, this is what you'll get at the live show.
08:29But you see, he takes on the facial characteristics of these characters.
08:34How about Liam Neeson?
08:37Any LeBron info from Liam Neeson's?
08:41Well, I don't know who you are.
08:43I don't know what you want.
08:45If you're looking for LeBron information, I can tell you that I don't have any.
08:49What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills that let me continue to talk
08:56when there's nothing to say.
09:01And if you don't ask another question right now, I will find you.
09:04I will hunt you down.
09:08And I will manipulate you.
09:12Because I'm a part-time chiropractor.
09:16And I will give you a manipulation.
09:18Pretty much certain it was going to be, I will kill you.
09:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:23Because if I killed you, you wouldn't make it to the Frank Caliendo show.
09:27Got you.
09:28How about Mel Kiper?
09:31I'll talk about tremendous situation.
09:33You know, that's the thing about LeBron James.
09:35This is the first time he's ever had us talking about him when there's nothing going on.
09:41LeBron James, always to the forefront with information, doesn't like people talking about him
09:46and saying things on the internet, wants all the information out there, and doesn't like
09:51to be talked about.
09:52That's just LeBron James.
09:53This is the first time we've had a situation where LeBron hasn't made a decision and everybody's
10:01hanging in the balance.
10:02You know, that's even the commissioner of the NBA saying, what's going on with LeBron James?
10:08Well, take your time, LeBron.
10:09Everybody needs to just take a step back.
10:12We don't want to know what the schedule is.
10:14That'll keep Polly Market going for a while and a couple of fronts.
10:19At the end of the day, LeBron will make his decision when he wants to make a decision,
10:23sitting down with Jim Gray at the Boys and Girls Club across the street from the New York Knicks.
10:30At the risk of getting too political, I'd like to ask some of the former presidents if
10:35they know anything about what's going on with LeBron James.
10:38Maybe George Bush would have some ideas.
10:41Well, I've heard rumorifications about the whereabouts, the future whereabouts of said LeBron James.
10:56But the most important thing is what is Bronny going to do?
11:02Is he going to continue his NBA career?
11:04Of course he is.
11:05Is he still with FaZe Clan?
11:07I mean, this guy, is he streaming video games?
11:10Because I didn't even know what Brown is doing, man.
11:12I'm a huge FaZe Clan guy.
11:15I love FaZe, man.
11:21How about Joe Biden?
11:22Might Joe Biden have any info on this?
11:25Folks, I know exactly who he is.
11:27Folks, he's right here in my backyard.
11:29He's going to be playing.
11:30LeBron James is going to be playing in my backyard.
11:32Why doesn't a young man grow up and screw up a pencil fan?
11:33We didn't have LeBron James.
11:35We didn't have players.
11:39Folks, come on.
11:40I'm not joking around.
11:41I'm not joking around.
11:43It's the real deal.
11:44Come on.
11:45What are we doing here?
11:49What's FaZe?
11:51Folks, folks, that FaZe was a stunt.
11:53Come on.
11:55That's where you're going to be.
11:59You're going to be in your backyard.
12:00Super-girl fragile.
12:01You've been on the side of his own story choices.
12:04He's in your backyard?
12:06Yeah, it's right there.
12:07Take a look over my right and left shoulder.
12:10There he is.
12:12LeBron.
12:14LeBron.
12:19How about, well, we talked with Trump about the heat situation.
12:23Does he know anything about the LeBron situation?
12:25Of course, I know everything.
12:26I know everything.
12:27I'm the president of the United States of America to the republic for which it stands
12:30when they should under God and the visible liberty and justice for all.
12:32But I'm not supposed to say.
12:35There's certain things you can't say.
12:36I can't tell you the nuclear codes are 792-444-YX3-2B.
12:40I can't tell you that.
12:42If I said that, that would not be presidential.
12:45So I said, we're not going to tell you where LeBron's going, even though he said,
12:48he said, he pretends not to like me.
12:49But LeBron, he knows I'm the guy who can help him.
12:54I can help him get where he wants to be.
12:55And he wants to win a championship.
12:57And I said, LeBron, that's what it's all about, winning championships.
12:59It's not about the money.
13:00I'll make the money.
13:01And he's making a tremendous amount of money, quite frankly.
13:03But it's not about the money.
13:05It's not about the money.
13:10What about Bill Clinton?
13:13Who cares, man?
13:15Let's just see some chicks.
13:23Oh, man.
13:25Did you see Caitlin Clark on the cover at NBA 2K?
13:31She's a hottie.
13:32So, so good looking.
13:36Ay, ay, ay.
13:37Oh, my God.
13:38John Madden, might he know anything about LeBron's situation?
13:41You know, I do know.
13:42Because I'm up here looking down upon everything because I'm omniscient at this point.
13:48And, you know, I see what he's going to do.
13:51And I see one or two.
13:55You're either going to be real happy or you're not going to be happy.
13:57And between those two things, that's probably how Miami's going to feel.
14:04I certainly understood any of your insight there, Coach.
14:08Yeah.
14:09That's because I'm not a play-by-play guy.
14:11I'm a color guy and I'm, I'm giving you, you know, that's what I'm doing.
14:14I'm giving you an analysis from beyond and up here in heaven.
14:18We, we, I mean, we, we, I mean, it's different up here.
14:21We don't see, we don't see things the way you see them.
14:24We see them as already have been done because I mean, a lot of people think
14:29that time is linear and it's not linear.
14:31I mean, it's not linear.
14:32I mean, if you, if you think of quantum physics, I mean, you ever hear
14:35quantum physics, the thing about quantum physics, they say that something you
14:39don't even see hasn't even existed yet.
14:41I mean, we're, we're just all in this simulation.
14:44And if the computing power is only so big, you don't see it unless it's in front
14:49of you, but it did happen, but it was just numbers until you saw it.
14:54Unbelievable.
14:54We have time for one more.
14:56What do we want to do?
14:57Sandler, De Niro?
14:59No, no, I got nothing and I have nothing either.
15:01None of us have anything.
15:02So why are we doing it?
15:03I don't know.
15:04Well, I just like to be a part of things.
15:06I mean, I, yeah, I might, and I like to have people here, man.
15:09I'll tell you what, man, I, I'm going to be doing some play by play for the
15:13Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the preseason.
15:15I'll tell you what, maybe LeBron James will have figured out where he's playing
15:20by the time I'm doing play by play with my buddy, man.
15:24I'll tell you what, man, it's going to be tremendous.
15:26LeBron James, if he comes to Florida, I'm going to put the L back in Florida.
15:32Not just Florida.
15:33I'm going to be Florida.
15:37A quick Jim Rome take on LeBron where he's going to end up.
15:40What is up with LeBron?
15:43Dude never lets you know where he's going to play, signs year-to-year contracts,
15:47and now he hasn't even signed one at all.
15:51Dude said, Lakers, bye-bye.
15:53I'm not coming back.
15:56It's like they didn't care.
15:58So now LeBron James finding a way to make it about him.
16:03Ridiculous, incredible arugula.
16:11I never heard Jim Rome punctuate a thought with arugula before.
16:16Speaking of lettuce, let us wrap up this segment.
16:25Yeah, that's well done.
16:27That's the next one.
16:28Frank Caliendo, go to frankonstage.com or palmbeachimprov.com.
16:35October 9th and 10th, Frank is doing three shows,
16:39and I guarantee you it will be the night of your life.
16:43How about that for a hard sell?
16:45I've been the president of the United States of America,
16:47and he's going to have everything to be good.
16:52So we can put out exclusively that LeBron is spotted in Joe Biden's backyard?
16:58Mr. President?
17:01Folks, true or false?
17:05C.
17:06Final answer.
17:13Frankonstage.com is the website.
17:15We love you, Frank.
17:16We're going to talk to you plenty before October 9th and 10th.
17:19Rackney, I am out!
17:20Out!
