Frank & Friends Show 0020

Frank saw someone on the news who talks like a ventriloquist. Kathryn saw a male contestant on The Bachelorette who also talks through clenched teeth.

Kathryn’s husband gave a Christmas gift to their dog Sasha. It was a used library book titled The Dog Who Sang at the Opera  by Jim West and Marshall Izen. The book tells the true story of a dog named Pasha who howled during Renee Fleming’s aria in Manon at the Metropolitan Opera.

Kathryn photoshopped her dog into a photo of her performance of Suor Angelica. Sasha walked toward Kathryn when she was rehearsing the death scene at home. Frank says dogs would eat their deceased masters.

Kathryn uses Opera Practice Perfect, a recorded piano track for singers to rehearse at home. Frank’s wife Jere uses a similar track for choral singing. Frank has a recording of instrumental tracks for improv shows.

Kathryn bought a backpack to carry Sasha when the dog gets too tired on their walks. Frank found a key tag in the driveway and wondered if it belonged to Kathryn.

Frank likes whole grain mustard, which Kathryn compares to Dippin’ Dots. Frank thinks Dippin’ Dots are too cold. He says he has the “mustard of the future” because it appears to have an expiration date of May 2122.

Frank saw a Facebook post from a realtor who had been contacted by someone looking to move to Tennessee from California. The potential homebuyer has a long list of requirements for the property they want to buy.

Frank tries to give Kathryn some promotional drinking glasses from Canada Dry. He thinks his father sent away for them in the 1970s. Kathryn says she tends to accidentally break props that opera directors tell her to throw during a show.
