Funny Channing Frye interview with Rainbreak, a Portland film collective

Sketch Pad with your host Ty, with special guest Channing Frye.


My friends and I have been life long Trail Blazer fans. In recent years a buddy of mine actually became friends with Channing Frye while he was here in Portland. Channing is a class act, he agreed to do an interview with us to help support our film collective (www.rainbreak.com) and launch a new idea of ours.

What you are about to see is hopefully the first of many comical interviews with professional athletes.

Star-divide


The concept of Sketch Pad is simple, the host Ty (myself) and a famous athlete as his guest. Ty loves two things; sports and drawing. Each of his interviews ends with the guest walking away with a one of a kind sports caricature of themselves and a felling of humility.

We are hoping to startup an online series, something along the lines of Between Two Ferns.

We appreciate your views. We will have some current Blazers on soon.

Go Blazers

Thanks Ty

Wut....

Nicolas Batum is the future of the Blazers

You still feeling

good about your signature?

“Nicolas Batum is the future of the Blazers”

He never said, what kind of future it was.

"The game was delayed for over 15 minutes with 5:07 left in the second quarter after France's Nicolas Batum, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, dunked and twisted the rim. Volunteers and officials scrambled to put a new rim on the basket and reattach a net."

When I was younger I met, and did a caricature of Anthony Munoz

(Munoz is the NFL’s greatest Left Tackle ever. = 6’6" 280)
He was humorous, and funny just like Channing. actually came and found me to introduce himself, instead of me being the fawning admirer. Other thing that cracked me up is when he shook my hand, it was like your joke handshake. But opposite. His hand totally engulfed mine and made it look like he was throttling a GIJoe figure.

Props on your humor, and caricature, and music and everything but the chops and a mustache.
That is a weak facial hair assortment.

ha, nice.

friendly word of advice:

you guys need to supplement light-wise for the lessened f-stop on the zoom in. i’m talking specifically about the mcu cam on ty (you?). i’m assuming you’re shooting on a 7d because of the aps-c lens crop, amirite? that’s why those shots look darker. less open lens, less light received by the sensor, etc.

this is good stuff however— keep up the good work.

I'd put Tony Boselli over Munoz

but it’s close

Awesome.

Definitely laughing in my office right now.

Caught that last night from another link. I was pleasantly surprised at the comedy chops displayed by you guys. Most "funny’ web videos with athletes don’t make me smile, this one succeeded

You should get Boom Tho next

For the love of god can New Orleans please start loosing, Portland needs a good draft pick...

The Yao Ming thing was my favorite

I laughed on that one. The timing was perfect.

by jamon51 on Dec 5, 2010 5:28 PM PST up reply actions  

No words

Hey Channing, I saw that interview you did on sketch pads

What happened?

The little keyboard was a nice touch. They should throw together some funny impromptu songs like on “Who’s line is it anyway?”

Good execution.

Kudos, keep going, don’t give up.

When did you first learn

that you couldn’t grow a beard?

so... wow...

I think Channing summed it up perfectly himself.

Channing must have a GREAT sense of humor.

That was very fun to watch. I’d LOVE to see you get Greg on there. He seems like he’d be pretty quick witted.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

by OCBlazerFan1 on Dec 3, 2010 2:39 PM PST reply actions  

You may be on to something there.

Guys, that was hilarious, and I don’t overuse that word. Get GO in there because laughter is the best medicine, if he doesn’t kill you. :)

Not bad but

too many predictable Ali G and Demetri Martin moments, and Demetri is not funny.

by Soul_Fur on Dec 4, 2010 12:41 AM PST reply actions  

Oh!

and a Dax Shepard moment with the height joke.

by Soul_Fur on Dec 4, 2010 12:42 AM PST reply actions  

LOL very, very funny and creative. excellent video.

by Ben Golliver on Dec 5, 2010 10:53 AM PST reply actions  

Best part IMO

the credits. lol

I enjoyed it as a whole, but reading the credits brought the biggest smile to my face. :)
