Fridayman was bragging to Yogi one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them"
Tired of his boasting, Yogi called his bluff, "OK, Fridayman, how about Jack Nicholson?" "No drama's Yogi, Jack and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Fridayman and Yogi fly out to Hollywood and knock on Jack Nicholson's door and Jack shouts, "Fridayman! What's happenin?!? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!"
Although impressed, Yogi is still skeptical. After they leave Nicholson's house, he tells Fridayman that he thinks him knowing Nicholson was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Fridayman says.
"Valentino Rossi," Yogi quickly retorts.
"Yup," Fridayman says, "Old buddies, let's fly out to this weekend's GP in Australia." And off they go.
At the track, Rossi spots Fridayman in the pit lane and motions him and Yogi over saying, "Fridayman, what a surprise, I was just on my way to test some suspension settings, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."
Well, Yogi is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.
After they leave Philip Island he expresses his doubts to Fridayman, who again implores him to name anyone else.
"The pope," Yogi replies.
"Sure!" says Fridayman. "I grew up in Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Fridayman and Yogi are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Fridayman says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough,half an hour later Fridayman emerges with the Pope on the balcony but by the time Fridayman returns, he finds that Yogi has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to Yogi' side, Fridayman asks him, "What happened?"
Yogi looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who the f*#k's that on the balcony with Fridayman?"
