## Resource

My HoneyDew this week is comedian Frank Caliendo! Check out FrankOnStage.com to see where you can catch Frank live near you. Frank joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of his upbringing in Illinois and Wisconsin, with Dad playing minor leagues for the White Sox association, teaching Franks AAU teams, and even umping the local neighborhood wiffleball games. Frank reflects on his father’s influence, his lifelong relationship with baseball, the hard truth of walking away from it, and the pivot that brought him to comedy. 🎟️See me live.
