1984 Ounces = 3 Hours of Drinking, Children Should Be Seen Not Heard & More

Welcome Back Everyone!

Hope everyone had the holiday experience they wanted. 
If not, there’s always next year.
One of the best things is Dan and the boys are back!





Back to Work for R&R 

From left to right:  Dan, Crooked, Blinkie, 70's and Hunchy

Dan and the boys are back and the vacation stories are just beginning to come out. We’ll start with the physical condition of the Danettes. Paulie came back with a cut, swollen lower right eye. Origin undisclosed. Seton returned with a bruised, gnarly hip. Wearing wool socks on a wood floor when you’ve been in your cups is not a good combination. Fritzy had his hernia surgery and is wearing a corset. He chose to share his post surgery pics with Dan, bruises, incision and all. McLovin’s personal appearance was changed with mid-growth of a stache. The stache now has it’s own twitter account: @mclovinstache Only @CaseyGeraghty , host of The Box Score @TheBoxScoreShowShow, has complimented the facial addition. Is this an attempt to recreate his look from That’s My Boy?

Weird Way of Showing Thanks

Required reading for the next party

Your boss is throwing his annual Christmas party. The parties have been known for great food and interesting events. One, you think you would show up unless you were contagious and didn’t want to get others sick. Two, that any family members you brought would keep a lid on their feelings for your boss while in his presence. Neither of the above rules was followed.





Oh Where, Oh Where Was McLovin? 

Workin' on that 70's cop with coffee cup look

Not at the party. He sent Dan a lengthy text that in a nutshell said, he hated his life, and why did he decide to have two kids even though he loves his family. Maybe the stache was starting to come in and he didn’t want anyone to know was the real excuse?



Children Should Be Seen, Not Heard 

De Niro with flash cards for 7 year old girls

All of the Danettes have children. Not all of the Danettes tell their children what goes on at work. There is one that obviously does. The scene: You’re hosting your annual Christmas party and things are going about as expected. Then the unexpected happens. You have a run in with one of the kids that your staff member brought to the party. Awkward. The child says, "I’m watching you." Using De Niro’s mannerisms and expressions from Meet the Parents. "You’re mean to my dad. You say mean things to him." Then each time you speak to the kid’s dad, the kid is right there watching and listening. Giving you the big stare down. This seven year old started out the night this way and wouldn’t stand down, even after dad told the child they should apologize. Who would let their kids hear about what was said and done at work that would make the child feel this way? Who would seem fake in their reaction of surprise when their child did this to their boss? The Danette: Fritzy The Child: His daughter. It took Dan off his game for a bit but he recovered. Will this change the way Dan treats Fritzy? Heck no! Dan does admire how she stood up to him and had her dad’s back though.

Dan Reviews This Is 40

Scene from the movie or a peek at a night of
 McLovin's role play?

Some things are better left alone or short. This is one of those things. If you’re going to make a comedy that’s more than 90 minutes, it better have characters you can root for and feel good about and it needs to be down right funny. Not just funny ha ha bits once in a great while, but hold your attention all the way through the movie funny. Sadly, Dan reports that This Is 40 doesn’t fill the criteria to be a good comedic movie. Dan likes the actors but just didn’t like the movie. Maybe he should have just stuck to the reorganization of the Milford man cave instead.


1984 Ounces = 3 Hours of Drinking

Consume it all on your own
you'll be calling your own audible

That should say quality drinking. Dan had a keg of the soon to be released beer from Red Hook representing The Dan Patrick Show at the Christmas party. The official name: Audible Ale. It should be available in a couple of weeks with its promo debut around Super Bowl time. For now, it passed the Christmas party test at Dan's with rave reviews during its short time of three hours before the keg was dry.
