Owning It, Enjoyment !

Enjoyment! 

Pa-role model story
Playmaker was golden

There was a rare sighting today. So rare and shown for such a short time, still pictures could not capture it. When you see this occurrence it almost, almost, makes you want to say "Awww I feel so happy for him. Who is he? Paulie, one of the meanest Danettes. It was during the Michael Irvin interview. Paulie was seen laughing, smiling, clapping and putting his feet up on the desk. How did that feel Paulie? You should do it more often. Oh no, that’s right, you’re mean.

More enjoyment – Finally Dan’s clubs arrived minutes before the end of the show. Two-a-Days didn’t even get a chance to pull them out of the plastic wrap before the show ended. Hopefully this improves Dan’s mood for tomorrow. What else could be contributing to his attitude? He needs to give blood before he leaves for New Orleans for his surgery the Friday after he returns home from the trip. That and someone helped themselves to Dan’s Girl Scout Thin Mints leaving a half eaten sleeve out of the box. Pretty sure they don’t come that way. There were no confessors to the crime. 

Looking for sticky chocolate fingers

Life changing enjoyment. Yes, we learned that life changing enjoyment occurred with Dan’s daughters after they attended the One Direction concert. Dan experienced the enjoyment of having his hearing return after losing it from all the loud, screaming girls.

Changing lives one song at a time.

Someone will experience gambling enjoyment from bets placed on anything and everything Super Bowl. Super Bowl betting is a ten billion dollar business. Who will come out ahead and who will come out behind? Shae? Barkley?

Did you hear DP's heart
flutter during the interview?

The enjoyment of flirting happened today during Katie Couric’s interview today. It’s not often that you hear Dan ask more than once how he looks to do a phone interview. Yes, there was drama that occurred too from one of the two drama kings, Fritzy. Had Fritzy just toned it down a bit he wouldn’t be facing the Wheel of Punishment. Seton on his first vote around had voted for no WOP for Fritzy because he had Fritzy’s daughter’s voice in his head from when she asked Dan at the Christmas party why he was mean to her daddy. Second vote around Seton got over that and voted for the wheel. The stress of his guarantee and consequences to follow had put Fritzy’s bowels in an uproar. Yes, that’s the phrase he used. This wheel could put Fritzy in a depression for days. 

That should cover Friday
and Monday

There can be enjoyment in security. The security, if you’re a man, knowing that there are four rolls of toilet paper on the back of the toilet if you need to use that many in the course of a day. Really guys?!? There was a vanity under the sink. Couldn’t you have stored those rolls there or is that full of toilet paper too?

One day my name will be
known in every home in
the world !

There can be enjoyment in knowing who you are, but does everyone know who you are? Apparently not one of the callers today. There has been a slight name change. Meet your host of the show, Don Patrick. No, I didn’t spell that wrong. The caller actually called Dan, Don. Guess Dan hasn’t become a household name yet. 

Got out while the getting
was good

There can be enjoyment having co-workers you like and knowing that you don’t have to work with Nicki Minaj. Also, in not being Keith Urban who’s stuck in the middle of Nicki and Mariah Carey on American Idol. Why do ratings continue to slip on the show? One of the reasons Dan feels is that the show misses and needs Simon Cowell. Oh, the good old days. 





Owning It

Inspiration gone awry 

Fritzy had to take ownership of a mock headline that got past Paulie’s editing and Paulie had to take ownership of missing it. Fritzy should have known better and he probably did but put it out there anyway and Dan nearly shut down mock headlines. There may be more than one editing channel the headlines go through after today or a list of words that can’t be used. The headline was a take on the play, The Vagina Monologues. Fritzy’s version for the Manti Te’o/Katie Couric interview was The Vagina Dialogues. Although the censors will probably be ok with it, Dan definitely wasn’t.

Could these be in Paulie's
t shirt collection?
Go Bears circa old

You need to own your look. If it’s being an old man or imitating Ellen Degeneres’ look, so be it. Wearing clothes like you’re an eighty-year-old grampa in a thirty something body, own it. Don’t throw your boss under the bus saying the flannel shirt that he, Fritzy and Seton were wearing was so two thousand eleven. Paulie’s look is t shirts. I have a vision of dozens of totes holding t shirts that Paulie starts with one tote and works his way through the last and doesn’t repeat wearing a t shirt for a year. Everyone has free stuff. Either free stuff they decided to keep for "someday" use or free stuff they have plans to, or have sold, like CDs. People in or from radio culture learn to be that way and it’s a hard habit to break. Face it, the original three plus Dan feel most comfortable wearing clothes they would wear to a rock concert, walk the dog or be on radio. This is a TV show, about a radio show, on TV.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself, McTe'o ?, Can't Let Go & More

Keep Your Hands to Yourself

Big brother is watching

Just as Elway’s framed jersey has taken abuse, so has Fergie’s bust. It’s one thing to think about doing something, like Seton did, it’s another thing to do it like Fritzy and McLovin. Yes, poor Fergie’s bust has been felt up by McLovin at least once, and most likely numerous times by Fritzy. Dan says the bust is something to be viewed and admired, Fritzy feels it’s something that you should touch. Dan tried to clean off the fingerprints with the sleeve of his pull over but had to leave the fingerprints where Fergie had written her dedication for fear that he would wipe off the ink. Are all the cameras turned off after the show is done? Maybe having a motion sensor security camera or two would be a good addition to the man cave for after hours or the wee hours of the morning.

Fritzy Double Loser 

From the past crazy town days

Part One: During his call, Mark in MI, gave a Manti Te’o mock headline. Fritzy tried to top it with his own that he had prepared. Let’s say they just weren’t that good. For that, Fritzy lost the opportunity to do COTW and McLovin had to go in the box to fill in. DP is rarely likes women with short hair and this cougar did not make the exception to his rule. The cougar chosen was Anne Heche. Remember that hot mess of craziness?

Yes he wore this
Yes he said that

While in the box, McLovin revealed that he was wearing a LiveStrong t-shirt under his zippered jacket and said: "Lance is back, it’s just a matter of time." Don’t know about that. Coming out of the box, McLovin revealed the shirt to the Danettes as well. Not sure if they were sincere or not but they wondered if McLovin had been working out, told him that he looked pretty ripped in that shirt, asked if he was wearing a medium… something isn’t quite right here. Maybe a future set up?

He who enjoys & thanks himself
is a man who insults his wife

Part Two: Fans v Fritzy – It was ugly. Todd had not only his brother behind him but now his wife as well. Sexual references always work on the show and there were a few that met that mark. In Lance Armstrong fashion, Fritzy even tried to cheat, but was caught using a headline that was already done by the fans. A scoring penalty ensued but it didn’t matter. Even without the penalty, the fans had it in the bag: fans 10, Fritzy 5. Fritzy’s said his wife better have her A game on tonight as he’s going to need to be consoled. If she was listening to the show and heard the way he said that, ain’t no way. Chinese and Cinemax for Fritzy.



McTe’o ?

McLovin's Mysterious Mindy

Our own McLovin boosted his love life stats sometime during the18 – 22 years of age range with what he now claims was his own imaginary girlfriend. Name: Mindy Location: Ontario. Dan did see a picture of a woman McLovin said was Mindy from Ontario, but was she who he said she was? Supposedly she was the love of his life before his wife but she couldn’t cross the border and didn’t have a green card??? What else has McLovin told us that isn’t true? Did he go to Dartmouth? Does he know Brooklyn Decker and Andy Rodick? Does he live in a one-bedroom apartment with a wife and two daughters? Does he own hats that aren’t promotional? Just more of the McLovin mystery.








An F is an A, a D is a B

Typical Danette Report Card

Did you ever alter a grade on a report card before it made it to your parents? You’re not alone if you did. Paulie did, but got caught because a follow up report card that was sent in the mail. McLovin and DP both changed grades. Thanks to DP's older and more troublesome brothers, Mike and Bill, he didn’t get in trouble. Fritzy’s worse school sin was plagiarizing a limerick in the 4^th grade that was published in the school newsletter, which he later had to come clean. Which is worse, a grade change or a 4^th grader copying a limerick for a contest?










       

       Can’t Let Go

Could it be that Rich is
mad because Dan has
hair?

Rich Eisen is a good dad and a sensitive guy. His son, five year old Zander, came on at the end of the interview to say hi to Uncle Dan and give a shout out to his friends, Cara and Penelope. According to Rich, these are real friends, not imaginary, cat-fished friends. Rich was fine with letting go of his son so he could go to school but Rich can not let go of something that happened with the show. One day, way back in 2009, Rich was bumped from coming on the air for Dan Bickley from the Arizona Republic. Cut the cord to this event Rich, cut the cord.




Going Against His Own Grain   

Yep, that's DP's logo
on the label

When the morning started, McLovin was still standing by his picks of September 5^th: Ravens and Niners for the Super Bowl. Today during his Against the Grain segment everything changed. He’s now picking the Patriots, Seton’s favorite team, and the Falcons, or as McLovin pronounces it Valcons. He called an Audible, an Audible Ale-teration.











No Dan Alert

Yeah, he's ok to play

Dan is having surgery on his shoulder the Friday after the Super Bowl. Don’t worry though, although he will not be able to be in studio, he’s still been cleared to play for the Red Skins. 














Arcade Fire Tribute

The tribute went out to long time audience member, Tilly in Bloomington. If you follow Tilly on Twitter, @BigLiciousT you know that yesterday he lost his 7 ½ year old yellow lab, Harley, to cancer. 

Tilly's Harley

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....  Author unknown...
