Laugh Golden Boy Laugh, TLI and More

Dan Does It All

Just another day at
The Dan Patrick Show

Today was what Fritzy usually calls a hodge podge show. We had Peter King talking football and Chi McBride doing celebrity imitations that made Seton laugh so hard he started coughing. There was Cris Collingsworth on about his son playing for the national title Monday for Notre Dame. Swimsuit model, Chrissy Teigen sort of interning by saying "Word" several times during ATG and cutting down McLovin’s stache. Throw in an unexpected guest that Two-a-Days initially wouldn’t let on the air, Steve Spurrier, the Phil Jackson wedding announcement and a review of Rex Ryan’s tattoo. Less I forget choosing between bellies, bruises and staches, an award announcement and well, it’s been quite a day. Let’s see, what were some of the things we were missing? Death and birth notices, a cooking segment, the latest fashion, a music act, reality drama, pets, decorating tips and children. Those were just missing today. Tune in any other day and you will get those things plus more too.

Feel free to accessorize the
DP DND sign

Dan is ready for a bit of quality time. A premo cigar from Chi McBride, a calendar and bottle of whiskey from Chrissy Teigen. Dim the lights and put out the do not disturb sign.











Laugh Golden Boy, Laugh

The golden locks of DP

McBride can tell a story, and Dan and the Danettes ate them up. In return Chi loves it when Dan laughs. Too bad Dan wasn’t laughing at the title of the show Chi is on - Golden Boy. Bad memories of this college basket ball coach saying things like "Run the steps golden boy" returned and the nickname wasn’t said in Dan’s favor, but because the coach disliked him and let him know every practice and every game.  Who's laughing now coach?





 TLI (Too Little Information)

Don't be holdin', share!

Dan and the Danettes finally return from vacation, have as McLovin said, "the greatest boys night out ever" liking it to The Hang Over and Animal House. What do we get, one story about Fritzy’s daughter stalking Dan, McLovin not coming to the party and hearing that McLovin’s stache has it’s own vibe for females. Usually after Christmas break or a boys big night out we are treated to a plethera of stories that make us either laugh, shake our heads or both. What the stories do is help connect, as in attach, us to the show and all involved. Is the group becoming a bunch of fuddy duddies or have they stepped things up so much that mum has to be the word to save reputations. Come on man! There has to be something more.    

Quote of the Day (Maybe Longer)

All those days on the road pay off again

No matter who you are or what you do, or don’t do, the following rings true. From Peter King while appearing on today’s Dan Patrick Show: "This time of year, crap happens." What time of year does crap not happen, cuz I’d like to fast forward to that.

Congratulations Dan and Peter! The I Team broke news before Dan did, that Dan has broke his Susan Lucci-esk 12 year drought and has been named the NSSA 2012 Sportscaster of the Year. Also taking honors is Peter King who was named the NSSA 2012 Sportswriter of the Year. Dan, of course, thanked the Danettes for their contributions as he felt without them he would not have received the award. Think Bill Murray was wrong when he said Dan needed to get better help? Murray became annoyed at Seton when he wouldn’t let him on the air with just an intro over the phone of: "It’s Bill, I want to talk to Dan." You may be big Mr. Murray but you’re not the only Bill who can dial a phone. Seton wasn’t going to let another Steve Bartman/Captain Janks/Howard Stern situation happen again like it did at ESPN. A road trip will be coming in June to North Carolina for Dan and the guys for the awards ceremony and celebration.

Bill, take your own advice!

 

"DP Shut the Hell Up", How much is that doggie in the window

It’s always a bad hair day for McLovin
Today was McLovin’s hair reveal.  It wasn’t that big of a reveal and then the baseball cap went back on with McLovin not only complaining about the quality of his hair paint but the shortness of his hair as well.  Why cut and paint your hair and then not want to show it for six weeks?  Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the process?  This has happened twice now in four months.  McLovin's wife is tired of him talking about his hair and thinks he’s become self-centered.  McLovin, listen to your wife, she’s right.

It could be worse McLovin,
your hair could look like this

How much fun do you have at someone else’s expense on national TV?
A portion of Cris Collinsworth appearance was spent defending and clarifying what he said during Sunday night’s game.  Was Collinsworth out of line with his comments during the Jet’s minuteman display of the Keystone Kops?  If you execute that badly three plays in a row in less than one minute of play, what do you expect?  Stop being so sensitive and pull up your big boy pants.  Cris is being paid by NBC for his opinions, not to hold the hands of a floundering team and say that’s ok, everything will be alright, hand them a lollipop and send them on their merry way.

Now I'll go left, wait you go left, then I'll go back
and you go back then right, right?

Even a Marconi winner can have a bad set
For about six seconds during the halftime show Sunday, Dan didn’t realize he was on air.  His earpiece that sends him communication from the production booth stopped working and he didn’t realize it. Bob Costas had thrown the telecast to Dan and he just sat there enjoying what was happening around him.  Tony was looking panicked at Dan and a production person was waving their hand at the camera before Dan was able to figure out what was going on. Whoopsie!

Wow the lights look pretty at night

“DP, shut the hell up.”  
DP challenged Shaq to a free throw contest during Shaq's interview.  At stake: one of the cars Shaq sells to one of the Ram trucks Dan promotes.  How’s your show Shaq?  The answer to that question is that Shaq wouldn’t commit to the bet.  Time to buy a dog.

Don't be fooled,  all show - no go

How much is that doggie in the window?
How worried was McLovin about Jim Parson’s appearance?  Worried enough that he was begging and pleading during his box appearance for Parsons to please pick another Danette to be replaced when he visits other than him. He’s had problems with the poll question, his wife is down on him, just nothing is going right.  He asked Parsons to throw him a bone Must be he's thinking of getting a dog because he too, needs to buy a dog.

See my pretty white teeth?

Side note:
If you are considering pet ownership – Don’t shop adopt.  There are millions of wonderful homeless pets waiting for forever homes in shelters and rescues across the country just waiting for a loving, committed home.  A good resource for available pets for adoption through rescues and shelters is Petfinder.com where not only dogs and cats in your area are listed, but other species as well.

Finally the time had come
Jim Parsons calls in during the final hour and after he compliments the back row they both take a big sigh of relief that neither of them are in danger if Parsons comes to the man cave.  Who does Jim think he could substitute for?  Two-a-Days! Two invites were given to Parsons: If you’re ever in NY on a Monday he can come to the NYC man cave.  They other is if his Texans make it to the Super Bowl he can come on set while the boys are there covering the week's activities.  What was he most excited about?  “OMG Swag!” that is coming his way. Such a lovable nerd.

Watch out Two-a-Days! Parsons is coming!

What we learned today
That the voting for the 2012 MVD (Most Valuable Danette) may have already closed and this year’s winner has already been decided.  Let the squirming in the Herman Miller mesh swivel chairs begin.

Whose butt sits in the
2012 MVD chair?
