Moments From the 1/30-31 Shows:

Rain, Rain, Go Away

In what has to be one of the best weather related Super Bowl week moments since the Dallas freeze, New Orleans was raining buckets and had high winds Wednesday. There was a caller who said they had it the day before so it’s headed their way. Surprise! It was already there. New feature in the man cave for a little while was a bit of a waterfall. Don’t think that was part of the plan in the set design. The guest who had the most issues with the rain was The Playmaker, Michael Irvin, of NFL Network. The umbrella guy, Dan, didn’t seem to understand that rain was directional and the direction it was coming down was on Irvin. Then there was residual rain splatter in the man cave, so James Lofton, who had just left the set, brought an umbrella to Irvin. The umbrella must have been left somewhere or blocked something else other than rain at one time because after the umbrella had been put up, Irvin had a white dust on his suit. He’s the last person who should have white dust on his suit, he said. He was ready to back himself up: "Get out the cups!" as he was more than happy to provide an on the spot sample if need be. This weather might not be as bad as what everyone will experience during Super Bowl in 2014 in New York. James Lofton, of Westwood One, says it might be hard to report on the game from the tunnel where he plans to stay warm.

Going to the Dogs 
Moose Johnston, NFL on Fox, had been using the P5 training app from Purina Pro Plan with his 11 year old daughter to train their dog, Gunner.  He was surprised at how much his dog had learned in agility exercises in only a month.  Wonder if any of that will transfer over when Moose and Dan host the Directv Beach Bowl this Saturday on the Audience Network, channel 239 and 101 at 1 pm EST live, with replays at 5 and 9 EST.

Showin’ Some Moves

Fritzy, McLovin and Seton move over!  Steppin’, stoppin’ Paulie is in the house!  Once he turned himself loose there was no stopping him.  There were exhibitions Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday and again on Thursday.  Is Dancing with the Stars in his future?  Need to work on the star rating first.  Hey Adam!  Got any awesome bit parts in that movie you’re shooting?

Foodie Frenzy

During The Box Score Show Paulie was all a flutter with Travel Channel’s Man v. Food, Man v. Food Nation and Best Sandwich in America, Adam Richman, on the court grilling gourmet corn on the cob. For some lucky fans that came by the set, the corn hulls in the teeth were all a glisten. Adam knows food and where to find it at it’s best for the every man. Certainly Paulie was tapping that mental resource before it left.

What Wonderful Conversation 

Cooper (pronounced coo like in cookie)
Manning, the funny Manning

Has someone you have no interest in having a conversation ever trapped you in a corner? This is what happened to poor Steve Mariucci, from NFL Network, Wednesday evening. Who was the perpetrator? The socially awkward McLovin. Better McLovin than Fritzy though. Pretty sure Steve would prefer a conversation about Xs and Os than what played on the pay per view channel in the hotel the night before. As the lady in red on the streets of New Orleans told Cooper Manning in the show open, if a man doesn’t have if up here, pointing to her head, he doesn’t have in down there. Staying on the subject of awkward. At dinner, Seton was somehow shuttled to a table of people he didn’t know, and no one seemed to care who he was, what he did or where he did it. Bite of food, slug of beer, bite of food, slug of beer….

"McLovin get out of my face!"

Reunited and It Feels So Good 

Honestly, wouldn't have
known it was Greenie without
the caption this morning.

It was guest appearances, cameos and stories from the mothership the last two days. Guest appearance: Chris "Boomer" Berman who got his nickname by being criticized for how loud he got when he was commenting on sports achievements. Cameo: Mike "Greenie" Greenberg during the "Manning on the Street" opening. Fly on the wall moment: After Berman’s appearance during a look in, Fritzy and Chris seemed to be having an intense conversation. Why did the music have to be playing? We don’t have that during the NY or CT look ins!



　

　

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.
