Episode 0149 - Puttin’ on Spirits

Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Kathryn Frady. They recorded the episode at PostModern Spirits in the Old City while they were between two meetings for Marble City Opera. 

Stanton Webster, co-owner of PostModern Spirits, is helping Kathryn and Frank prepare for the Pop-Up Opera Party, which is Marble City Opera’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.marblecityopera.com/tickets 

Frank and Becca James hosted the livestream of the Karns Christmas Parade. You can watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/8Rmwgy7nF-c?si=hKAMDpHEhwP4xOOF 

Frank and Heather Waliga announced the Rocky Hill Christmas Parade. Before the parade, they walked among the participants and posed for a photo with a horse. 

Kathryn directed a production of Hansel and Gretel and sang the role of the Mother for Wichita Grand Opera. The children in the chorus called her Aunt Kathryn. 

Kathryn and her brother drove from Houston to Dallas in his Tesla. She said the car drives itself better than her brother drives it.

Kathryn heard a crashing sound during the night and wondered if there was a ghost in her house. She grabbed the closest items to use as weapons when she went downstairs to investigate. 

Frank wonders if there could have been an earthquake but Kathryn checked and found there was not one. Frank’s friend Bean and his podcast partner Allie were talking about people who were afraid of missing a big earthquake. Frank was out of town and missed the biggest earthquakes that occurred during the time he lived in Burbank. 

At WAVA, Frank arranged for a staff member to fly to the New Madrid fault when an earthquake had been predicted. At KROQ, he arranged for a staff member to fly to Buffalo to yell through a bullhorn at the Bills’ quarterback. 

Frank will perform six character voices in the Nativity Pageant of Knoxville on December 14, 15, and 16, 2024 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum. Admission is free but parking costs $5. Frank saw the actors who play the Centurion and Herod at the Rocky Hill Christmas Parade. 

Frank is thinking about making a guest appearance at the last Einstein Simplified comedy improv show of the year on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
