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!



　

　

Moose Johnston tears at a family, a jersey's tail, KISS fantasy

That cute little kitty, Tiger Seton, was in the video open this morning getting his fur on.  Such a fun, cuddly kitty.

Kitties need coffee too!

More fashion this morning on The Dan Patrick Show.  Seton put on the latest addition to the man cave during the pre--show run down.  The two-time game worn, 5XL, Dallas Mavrick jersey of 6’5” Eddie Curry.  Needless to say it was a pretty blue dress over jeans with the sleeves of his blue sweater sticking out of the arm holes.  The boy had game for a minute nailing his first basket of the day.  The jersey plays a big role for the entire show.

Seton spinning in the jersey

Roll the tape! Danny’s going jaw face! Do you accuse the most recent Marconi winner of pronouncing a well-known former NFL player and Fox analyst’s name wrong?  Fritzy did.  Fritzy claimed Dan had said Moose Johnson not Moose Johnston. Seton, becoming uncomfortable in the increasingly tense conversation during the look in, tried to insert a little levity, “It’s not like he called him Bear Johnston instead of Moose Johnston.”

You wouldn't call him bear but would you call him horny?

Danny’s jaw face continued after the Pat Forde interview with a jab at Fritzy and then as Fritzy was going into the box. “Good for you, good for you Fritzy.”  Sure Dan may have known Moose since he was at Syracuse but I thought he said Johnson myself.  The Cheap Seats thought so too. It wasn’t like Fritzy interrupted the interview by going on hot mic either on air or in Dan’s ear.  He sent an email.  Maybe an IM would have been better?  Should he have gone through Paulie like McLovin did with a comment about the interview?  With bruised ego and anger still brewing, Dan put his Marconi on the floor behind the bar to poke at Fritzy’s sensitivity.  The Danettes are siding with Dan out of fear of Danny Jaw Face, no support for Fritzy.  Dan and Fritzy have known each other for over 10 years so Dan knows what he’s doing to Fritzy’s mental state.  Dad/Dan is not happy.

DP turning the cold shoulder to Fritzy's argument

A Bet is Born: 
If Fritzy is right, Dan apologizes.  If Dan is right, Fritzy wears the Eddie Curry jersey sans pants the rest of the show.  Paulie was the only one to stand up for Fritzy.  I think Seton and McLovin just wanted to see the punishment, which does make for better TV.  Paulie must not be feeling well today.  As the top producer he is, he knows that good TV and radio always rule.  Fritzy will put on the jersey and the pre-wear puns start flying.  Keep in mind Fritzy goes commando.  After stalling, saying he was embarrassed, Fritzy finally came out, walking and standing hunched over as to not have the jersey cling to any bits or pieces.  The lone white socks were a nice touch.  Better not work on COTW or check out other pics on the web today!

I've got my stuff in my hand and it's pulling up my jersey

As I suspected, there would be issues with Fritzy sitting next to McLovin in his state of undress, and McLovin expressed those as he was going into the box and inside the box. Did McLovin see or touch something he shouldn’t have?  McLovin isn’t getting enough attention today.  Next thing you know, we come back from break and Fritzy’s back in his street clothes fingering away at his keyboard.  Now Dan is supposed to wear the jersey during the last half-hour of the show as part of his apology for berating Fritzy when Fritzy was actually correct.  Dan did say Johnson during the interview, once.   Dan does remember that Fritzy had absolutely nothing on underneath that jersey and it did touch all body parts right?  Well, Dan cut the last half-hour down to last segment.  “I can’t wear it during the Jerry West interview.  Dan works on backing out more thanks to Seton’s help.  He agreed with Dan even though he knew Fritzy was right and he messed up the audio enhancements during Paulie’s “Know Your Back Up QB” segment.  Now Seton is supposed to wear the jersey without pants for the last segment, after Jerry West.  We need to be a classy show while Dan’s idol is being interviewed.

'"I can't see my feet!"

West interview over, Dan pays up his debt. Here comes Dan, in the jersey with white t-shirt, white socks, black tennys and obviously wearing underwear. Sorry ladies.  He’s out there hitting jumpers, no misses.  Could it be the new found freedom under the jersey that Fritzy spoke of sparking his game?  McLovin did get busted looking at DP’s backside.  Sometimes I scratch my head about that boy.

A few jersey jumpers

Boy does this jersey make its rounds: Curry, Seton, Fritzy, Dan and back to Seton again.  If this jersey were a girl, she’d be called slutty.  In condom terms, Seton first time was as if the whole box was being worn, Fritzy couldn’t get the package open and went bare back, Dan - just one condom will do, Seton’s second time was like wearing a maxum when a regular would do. Watching Seton slip off his pants on camera so discretely struck me funny. It was a little feminine.

Did Eddie Curry know his jersey would be assaulted today?

Dan has a problem with McLovin eating.  Ok, it’s not so much that he doesn’t like McLovin to eat.  It’s when McLovin skips out and gets an egg and cheese sandwich without asking if anyone else wanted something as well.   If McLovin had brought it in with him first thing in the morning, would that had been ok?  Paulie brings in and eats his Chobani pineapple yogurt, Seton brings in sandwiches, all without sharing or incident.  So reasoning would say if McLovin had brought in his breakfast sandwich from the get, he’d be ok.  If there was craft services, would this be a mute point or do we go back to picking on how loud McLovin eats?  No hair, no make up, now no more breakfast. 

If McLovin ate this, would it be too noisy?

I just caught the “Make Up” commercial during the Box Score break. Priceless. Must see TV. Funniest one to date!

The first step in Seton's KISS fantasy

Just another great day in the man cave for the highlight reels.  It’s not your typical sports show, it’s an adult family. 

So, what did you learn today?  I learned The Dan Patrick Show and The Box Score haven’t lost their touch as I laughed throughout 3 ½ hours of original programming. In your face Mothership!
