             Sponsor Unplugged

The jersey's in a moving box somewhere

LaDainian Tomlinson from the NFL Network has something that Dan wants, but the NFL Network had something they wanted in return from Dan. The problem is, that wasn’t put on the pre-interview notes that were given to Dan. Dan didn’t really get what he wanted, LT’s Vikings jersey that was previously promised and not delivered, but he did get a very good interview. The NFL Network didn’t get what they wanted, at first, the plug for the Melissa Stark interview with Mike Shanahan, Redskins head coach, that will be airing on Sunday. The interview is over, guest says goodbye, move on and that’s it. Not quite. Fritzy was contacted by the network unhappy that the promised plug in exchange for getting LT was not done. Fritzy relayed the message to Dan during the break and rightfully so, Dan expressed his displeasure with Fritzy for not following through and getting that information into the notes. Dan does not take lightly to being made a fool when it comes to professional obligations with established relationships. So they return from break and Dan back pedals but it comes off looking more like a commercial than a casual plug built into the interview. Thanks Fritzy.

How could Fritzy forget Melissa!

Uh, It wasn’t in the Mail

It's not easy being Nick Taylor

When you’re having a party, do you talk about it with the people you invited in front of the people you didn’t?  Dan made that social blunder today in talking about the upcoming staff Christmas party that Dan and his wife throw each year since leaving the Mothership.  One of the cameramen, Nick, @Nick Tay Tay, told Casey he was upset he wasn’t invited.  Casey in turn sent an email, and then Paulie told Dan.  So Dan hand delivered an invitation to Nick in front of someone else Dan didn’t invite, Cosmo, the bald cameraman.  Awkward.  Wonder if Wild Bill got one?  Don’t feel so bad guys.  One year Seton didn’t get an invitation either.  Lots to look forward to – Fritzy, sadly no chunky oatmeal Christmas sweater this year, leaving early, Seton getting there late, Paulie getting there early for a good start on the premo food, and McLovin shadowing Dan all night to see if Dan is talking about him.  Good times. 

Three years in a row and out.  Goodbye chunky oatmeal Christmas sweater!

Keep Your Hands to Yourself 
Everyone knows how cherished the Notre Dame locker and contents are to Dan and Seton. But not everyone respects the locker. When questions were being asked by Dan as to who was playing with the memorabilia, McLovin suddenly said he had to use the bathroom and rushed by everyone and out the hallway doors. He didn’t rush off to the bathroom though. Instead he rushed through the green room and into the back room to hide and watch on the monitors what was being said and done after he left. Weak sauce.

Peek a boo, I see you!  Whatcha doin'?

Pleasure and Guilt

Spicoli?

One of Dan’s pleasures is watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Is it because of Phoebe Cates? Maybe. Or is it because of pop culture icon Spicoli, played by Sean Penn, and all the awesomeness his character embodies? Maybe. Ok, it’s both. When you feel you need to quickly change the channel to an infomercial so your daughters don’t know what you’re watching, that’s a guilty pleasure.

Or Linda?
