Walking in here this morning at the Moscone Convention Center, I ran smack dab into our next guest.

And I will say, I'm not kissing ass, he is one of the funniest people in the entire country.

Frank Caliendo is with us, who for decades would join us on the WAAF show.

Yeah.

Which just means that we're old.

I feel it every day.

But it's great to see you.

I'm glad you had a minute or two to join us here today.

And certainly, I guess, what do you most people ask you about?

It's got to be John Madden.

I think, Matt, I think Gruden's taking over Madden now.

It was, you know, you get Calienvo, he walks around the convention center, and they're like, hey, can you be filler for us? That's what I am here, is the world's greatest filler. People are waiting for current players to come through or Hall of Famers or somebody who was on the ballot to talk about, you know, how did you not get in that type of thing? So until those people come in, they're like, Caliano, come here, you can save 10 minutes of nothingness that we're going to try and do. They're like, Duke Grude. Yeah, I'll tell you what, man. I got a lot of that, man. We're ready here. This is W-E-E-E-I.

I'll tell you what, it's a lot of vowels right in a row, man.

E-E-E-E-I. I must do a farmer. E-I-E-I-O. Is that something different, man? You can make anything work with John Gruent. Even the dumbest joke I just did.

You guys are trying to pretend that wasn't terrible right there, man.

I'm curious, Coach Madden, what you think of Nicos Cage playing you in the new Madden movie? I'm going to do this as Frank. I'll tell you what, because they came to me and asked me, so they wanted me to audition for that movie for the part of Howard Cosell. First of all. Oh, really? Yeah. So I was like, I'm not going to actually.

It'd be weird.

Not a lot of call currently for the CoSell impersonation.

And I haven't worked on it. And I'm not, if I'm in, let's say I get the part, which I probably wouldn't have. But let's say I get that part. people are all going to be looking going oh he does a way better madden than he does

Howard Goselle this is awful so that's the first thing that hit me so I said no I don't even

want to audition for that it seems ridiculous and I going, oh, he does a way better Madden than he does Howard Costell. This is awful. So that's the first thing that hit me.

So I said, no, I don't even want to audition for that. It seems ridiculous. And I knew Cage was going to play Madden because that that had been talked about for a while. It was actually originally Will Ferrell, I believe. Hugh Jackman was talked about. A lot of different A. Really? A. Really? Yeah. But is Nicholas Is Cage going to attempt to sound like John Matt?
