Is it all an act?, Under the top, Don't touch me!, Down goes Fritzy

Down Goes Fritzy

It may be the day of love, but there was no love for Fritzy in the man cave today. The other Danettes took over valentine related sports words, his mock headlines were atrocious, he couldn’t even get his poll question suggestions all the way out of his mouth before getting shot down. If Fritzy wasn’t sexually frustrated by the end of the day by the events of the last three days……….…watch out Mrs. Fritz! 

Don’t Touch Me! 

If you resemble this, you have a
pretty good shot at getting a hug

Dan and the Danettes seem to have attributes similar to fish: Scaly and slimy, big eyes with opened mouths and sadly, cold to the touch. Hug, forget it unless you’re a drop dead gorgeous woman. Hand shake, no thank you unless you’re a celebrity and insist, knucks are preferred, sort of. High fives, rarely if you’re in the front row only, or a celebrity they don’t want to offend. But if they’ve tipped a few, you’re chances will increase. So here’s some advice: Unless you are a top specimen of the female form, and you would like some type of physical contact with Dan or a Danette, either catch them after they have consumed a quantity of adult beverages or ply them with such beverages and after a suitable amount of time and consumption, then attempt contact. Do not attempt unless the above apply.

Is it all an act?

As the show was coming back from its second break, you could hear Seton say the words: "a character I play." That got some thoughts rolling. Are Dan and the Danettes all characters that are being played out five days a week on the radio/TV? Dan Patrick isn’t Dan’s real name. Are Paul Pabst, Patrick O’Conner, Todd Fritz and Andrew Perloff their real names? Are they really the way they seem? Could you really drink as much/often as Seton and hold a technical position on morning radio/TV? Could you really be as needy and insecure as Fritzy and still be able to book guests as well as he does? Does McLovin really watch that little sports and that much TV and movies that target a female audience? Could Paulie really love soccer that much? Does Dan really think that the group he has assembled can operate at perfection? Are they real or are they parts each person plays? Just wonderin’.

Under the Top 

Are you a beer drinker? If not a beer drinker, do you know someone who is? Have you/they tried Audible Ale? If not, why not? Pop the top and look underneath. Recognize anything? Maybe it’s your name, someone else’s name or a catch phrase you’ve heard before. If you have someone who is popping your top for you, ask him, or her, what they’ve got underneath.



　

#SickLovin, Yummy Bowl of Skittles, Mothership Miss and More

#SickLovin

Do you see McLovin's two little girls
under there anywhere?

If you’re a fan of The Dan Patrick Show, then you admire the turn of a word. Yes, McLovin, true to his word, decided not to come in today although he was able to do what he does on the show at home – sit in a chair and watch Dan. The email he sent to Dan the night before explaining his absence today even included the word cough in parenthesis. Really?!? He did call in to gain sympathy. None given. He was actually doing the show a favor by staying home today. A little return to the way things used to be before he joined the show was a breath of freshness. He vowed to Dan that he’ll be in tomorrow.  Do you think McLovin is as dramatic at home 
as he is on the show?  Heaven help his wife if he is.

New Stuff in the Man Cave

Thank you Red Hook - The tap for Dan and the Danettes new ale is sick!

Sick as in rad, not sick as in McLovin.

Sweet !

Bam! Nice combo piece – South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney’s gloves and chin strap worn at the time of "the hit" in the Outback Bowl. No word from Michigan if Vincent Smith will be sending in the same items for a matched set.

Socks are the thing – Marcus Lattimore sent in a grouping: socks, a headband and his gear bag from his last healthy game at South Carolina.

The collection of random memorabilia continues to entertain us all.

Yummy Bowl of Skittles

I like the green ones

Back in the eighties, Dan visited the clubhouse of a National League team. On a table, out in the open, in a side room to the main lockerroom was a fish bowl of what appeared to be something candy like, like Skittles, M&Ms or Jolly Ranchers where you could just reach in and grab a handful. When Dan asked "What's this?", he learned that it was actually a bowl of "greenies" a.k.a. amphetamines available for open consumption. Alright, he got it.  They're not legal, but it wasn't something that was going to change your physical appearance.  They were considered more of a temporary alertness helper.  Is that any worse than what you may find in a clubhouse today – Red Bull, Monster, 5 Hour Energy or any of the other "pick me ups" anyone can buy anywhere? Just asking.

           Chris in Syracuse

Hope things work out for you soon!

You’ve asked before, and here’s the latest: Paulie was in contact with Chris. He’s got stuff going on at home but he’s doing ok. He’s listening, but can’t take part in the show. Dan, the Danettes and everyone concerned will be happy to have him back when he’s able. Miss you Chris! 



Mothership Miss

The good, the bad, it's ugly

To no surprise, ESPN got it wrong again.  They issued an apology to Katherine Webb for what Brent Musburger said during the BCS Championship game when she didn’t expect or want one.  Yet when Steven A. Smith uses a racial slur on air there’s no apology.  Continue on with your inconsistent consistency.

　

　

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.






 

Paid to Drink Beer, Shae’s Nightmare/Paulie’s Dream, Sugar in AZ

Next Wheel of Punishment
It was determined today that Fritzy will have his own Wheel of Punishment. It will have a Bronco theme. If the Broncos do not fall out after the first round of the play offs, as he said they would at the start of the season, he spins a wheel made just for him. Ideas for the wheel are open to the audience. Can’t wait. GO BRONCOS!

Can Peyton lead the Broncos to a second
round play off game and Fritzy to a spin of the wheel?

Fritzy Friday Frown
Fritzy was beginning to sulk because he felt that the boss was trying to bring Friday Fritzy down. A female listener, Jamie in MT, called in that didn’t feel Fritzy stood up for the Broncos the way he should have with McLovin saying that the Broncos wouldn’t make it to the play offs and that Fritzy didn’t think the punishment for McLovin should have been Broncos related because of what McLovin had said. Also she was upset that for two years now, Fritzy hasn’t said anything about the ladies Bronco fan night. He was falsely accused of not having his mic on during the look in. Mock headlines on the Bronco victory Thursday night bombed. Reference to his brother helping him again came up. On top of that, Dan knew the cougar of the week again because Fritzy keeps leaving the information on the fax machine. So who did Fritzy pick as COTW? Elizabeth Berkley

Cougar of the week

Shae’s Nightmare, Paulie’s Dream
What is Shae in Irving’s nightmare? His girlfriends father who is from England will be spending time with them from Christmas to New Year. What’s on the agenda? Soccer, egg nog and what most would consider bad Christmas sweaters.

Ooooo, I  bet Paulie would like this one!

Paid Money to Drink Beer
Possibly one or two more taste testings will occur, but for the most part, The Dan Patrick Show inspired beer is ready. Finishing touches to follow. Who would have thought five years ago that the Danettes would get paid to drink beer. Was that an emotional lump in Seton’s throat today? Bet he can swallow that down with a beer or two or three or four.

Arcade Fire Tribute
Sugar in AZ, tattoo artist, viewer someone who has ink of DP and McLovin on his thigh, is a little banged up and got the Arcade Fire tribute today. For whatever has you down, thoughts to you.

The best McLovin has ever looked is on Sugar's leg

Happy Holidays from Dan, Paulie, Seton, Fritzy and McLovin!

More important than the damn Emmy, I like it stuffed in the can, Bonus videos

More Important Than the Damn Emmy 
Dan must have caught the green eyed monster bug and gotten it from McLovin on Monday. You could hear it in Dan’s voice before, during and after the interview and into the next segment after break regarding Jack Taylor, shooting guard, for Grinnell College. For that kid to do something that Dan was never given the opportunity to do – a green light, to shoot as often as he got the ball, to get national recognition, to receive no assists, to score 110 more points than he had scored before in any college game, it was all too much for Dan to handle. His true frustration was with the coaches – let the other Grinnell kids play and for Faith Baptist – execute some defense! Danny Jaw Face was out and all over the place. Seton even told Dan he was better than that. For a forever frustrated baller, the numbers and recognition this kid received were more important than "the damn Emmy" Dan had on his desk. The audio replay of the game call from the college student announcer was just. plain. funny. I wonder who that student was aspiring to be. Being a low funded program, getting a souvenir for the man cave is going to be slim. Looks like Dan is going to have to settle for autographed, game worn socks. Woof!

This person in white brought out the
green monster in Dan 

I Like It Stuffed in the can? 
How do you like your cranberry sauce? Gelled or traditional? Dan likes his in the can – ba da boom. An audience member offered a more Fritzy-esk poll question: Stuffing – wife, mother, mother-on-law? Two of those three are just sick.

Yummy or Yucky?

Dan Patrick Show bonus videos:
Thanksgiving Coffee Break with McLovin and Seton Pays Up on His Bet. Both are guaranteed to at least make you smile.

www.danpatrick.com

It’s a Beer and Wings Kind of DayGet the wings on the plate, sauce on the side and a cold one ready in a frosty mug. Here come Dan and the boys!

Paulie - annoyed with the disruption
Dan - focused on what's on TV
Fritzy - food focused
Seton - the photographer (Thank You!)

Gamblers love company, prison uniform anyone?

Coming to you from the NYC long weekend studio -

Prison Uniform Anyone?
Are you one to fall for the latest marketing ploy? The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping so with the jersey the players wore during the SNF game. Certainly neither McLovin, nor I would wear this prison uniform replica so why would you? Wear it to the wrong state or city you may be getting more than you asked for in return for your investment.

Without the name, do you think chain gang
or football member

Peter Makes New Friends
What will get you lots of unwanted attention? Tweet your personal phone number. We’ve heard or seen this done before either accidentally by the owner or intentionally by someone holding a grudge or pranking someone. Most recently, Peter King did this to himself. 350+ calls and 270+ texts later he has changed his number and upset PR people across a nation.

Peter is lonely no more

Someone Made Dad Mad
Another way to tick Dan off – don’t watch him on TV when he uses your material from the show during major network time. This is what happened Sunday. Dan dropped the "Little Buckaroo" tag on the Buccaneer highlights expecting he would get a thank you from Fritzy. Nothing. No text, no email, no phone call, not even an acknowledgement when he came in this morning. What did Dan get from Fritzy? A text about Faith Hill and Byron Leftwich’s legs. What was Fritzy doing when Dan bestowed this honor? Listening to the Broncos game. No surprise, but Todd should have watched or listened to the taped broadcast before he got to work in the morning. You never know when dad will throw a life test your way. Don’t look for this opportunity to come along again anytime soon Fritzy. Dad was sulky and mad most of the show.  Good job bro.

Text-worthy legs

I Want You Back
Could we see another new hairstyle from McLovin? Don’t be surprised if you do. Dan was complimenting Seton again today on how well the bet cut looked on him, comparing him to Brad Pitt from one of his movies. The green eyed jealousy monster came out of McLovin once again. What will McLovin do to get Dan’s attention back?

If you turn out the lights, are
these McLovin's eyes?

Coffee Table Idea
Quickie interview with new Cup Champ, Brad Keselowski, as they were going up against the hard break. Brad did manage a total of three hours sleep after taking a little too much advantage of his sponsor’s product, Miller Lite beer. He had that raspy alcohol voice that made him sound as if he had been a long time smoker. His only thought during the race was, don’t screw up. Gotta wonder if that went out the window after a few gigantic glasses of beer. Did you see any of his post race interviews? Maybe the end of that motivational speech Ray Lewis left on his phone said …and party like a rock star after you take the championship. Dan wondered how much of what Brad does is to be an entertainer. All Brad knew was that when he is an entertainer, it tends to get him in trouble or cost him money like it did last week, 25K. Maybe he got into trouble last night, maybe today, he doesn’t know yet but he’ll be able to afford it a little more now after he gets his cut of the 5.6+ million dollar check coming his way from winning the championship. What is a red flag like for a driver in comparison to the average person? Like sitting in the parking lot at the grocery store and you’d rather be checking out what’s going on elsewhere than go inside. Roger Penske, the car owner, will be keeping the winning car for his museum, so nothing coming to the man cave there. Dan was interested that they recycle the cars that will no longer be used and then crush them. Maybe a nice car cube table for the green room would be useful.

Just a the remote and a few
magazines and you're good

Gamblers Love Company
Always entertaining, Shae in Irving with his love/hate relationship with his Cowboys and his weekend gambling stories. Comical how he tried to get Dan to come back to the fold. Shout out to the sneaky good audience member who got a sign calling out Shae in Irving on ESPN College Game Day.

More unrest in the man cave, stab your sword, women of Buffalo

From the pre-show run down meeting:
If Dan fell asleep, how would he want it to be handled? We didn’t learn the answer to that question. There must be times that this may have occurred. Maybe during one of the lengthy against the grain segments that had no visual aids? Let’s take a trip down memory lane to one of McLovin’s more entertaining ATG segments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDW21Gadjmg

The video open was an ode to those having quality time with Fergie’s bust, most prominently Fritzy. Hopefully Fergie didn’t see that open. If she did, hope it didn’t creep her out too much.

I just don't think Dan can pull off a C cup

As the world becomes even more PC:UCLA has a problem with the USC tradition of the drum major Tommy Trojan planting the sword mid-field before the pre-game show. Should the sword be planted at the game, the USC band will not be allowed to play at half time. Really? It shows a lack of respect? Don’t you need a bit of a lack of respect to feel a competitive edge and go out there and beat the other team? Over all of the years and all of the games that this tradition has occurred you choose to defeat your opponent this way? Is this the only way you can get it done? Let’s just all hold hands and play ring around the rosy. Just don’t take away what truly matters to Dan and the Danettes – the USC song girl outfits.

The latest sports victim to political correctness

Drum Major Ed Carden of the USC Marching Band plants the sword in the UCLA logo before the 2008 rivalry game at the Rose Bowl. (Jeff Golden / Getty Images / December 6, 2008)

If UCLA thinks planting the USC sword is disrespectful, I can only imagine what they would think if UCLA pulled off what the 2004 Yale students did at a game versus Harvard at Harvard. Take a look.

In a rare on air appearance, Two-a-Days gave us a SOTD. Shortly after Seton was called to the box at the top of the hour. Dan asked him before going into the box what was wrong. Typical kid to parent response – "Nothin’." "Why the sad face? Is it because you didn’t have a good first hour?" Sulky Seton went into the box to become Mr. Positivity and turn his frown upside down. It wasn’t because TAD did a stat of the day. Actually for his first time, he did better than Paulie who’s on mic regularly and has done SOTD a few times. The only bumming Seton is doing about SOTD comes from suggestions from the audience that he had tried, being a man of the people, that just didn’t work out and he took the heat. He says he has a good s-o-u-r-c-e (Jay Glazer?) for stat information and will be returning back to that game plan.

SOTD complications make
little Seton tired and grumpy

Seton’s going into the box at the top of the hour created another problem during the next break. Dan caught Seton coming out of his bathroom. You do not use Dan’s bathroom unless he gives you permission first. The staff bathroom was busy during the break and Seton really had to go the break before but couldn’t because of his box appearance. Seton’s solution, use Dan’s bathroom. Dan’s solution, next time pee outside. McLovin wondered if Seton thought he had the liberty because Dan and Seton had a private lunch yesterday. "Two men don’t go out to lunch together." Uh, yeah McLovin they do all the time. The lunches are just titled differently – "business lunch" or  "watch the game".

Maybe Dan needs a new sign for this door

More unrest in the man cave?So Seton had a private lunch with Dan Wednesday and is having another one today. From Dan’s Boss’ Thoughts segment: The Danettes are able to speak off the record about other Danettes to Dan. He does encourage them to address the issue directly with each other because DP does not want to be a go between and he doesn’t want there to be gossip. Well the gossip amongst the three remaining Danettes had already started. Are they talking about one of us? What are they talking about? Will this count against the rest of us being able to go out for beer and wings on Friday? So what do you eat at a private lunch? A shared basket of a dozen wings, two cheeseburgers and eight beers. We’ll see tomorrow if today’s private lunch plays a role in tomorrow’s show.

Can beer and wings solve the Danette issues?

Fritzy is loosening his grip on mock headlines when it comes to Sven in CA. Today Sven went 2 for 3 with Fritzy actually clapping at the last one. Fritzy has been too busy today pulling pictures of Samantha Steele from ESPN’s Game Day since he learned that she’s Christian Ponder’s, Viking QB, girl friend. The IT guy was in not long ago and there was only one computer that had issues. It’s never a good sign when you get the blue screen with white writing. The IT guy can thank Fritzy for being able to drive his nice, shiny Mercedes.

If your girl looked like Samantha,
would you mind answering questions about her?

It’s not Reggie Bush but McLovin who has some beef with the women in Buffalo. This was proven by audio that Two –a-Days had pulled out of the archives for an I Team report. I don’t know. I think for someone, who looks and acts like McLovin, he’s being far too picky.

The new Coffee Break with McLovin featuring Wild Bill, the cameraman, was sweet. As you would expect, Wild Bill steals the spotlight.

A little coffee banter with the wild one

Beauty secrets of the Danettes and a new sex drug

Just when you got over how hard it was to listen to the sports related Halloween names were, Fritzy brings out sports related presidential names. A mind-numbing list of sports names that have the last name of a president. Thankfully this list only comes out once a year and not annually. I don’t blame the other Danettes for hiding their heads, putting on the headphones to drown him out, or as Dan did, leave the room and just close your eyes until the massacre is over. Hope y’all got out and cast your vote.  Then don't do what I did, watched MM followed by Hannah Storm.

Poll question of the day:
Would you rather be the President or Vice President? VP does seem like a pretty sweet gig. Almost all the same perks without the responsibility. Kind of like the four Danettes don’t you agree?

Today the Danettes took a stab at guessing the "bombshell" question. If correct DP wouldn’t say who. One person did get it right. DP the master of mind games, as Seton said. As an example Dan played with Seton’s confidence walking into the box. Seton’s statement of Dan bringing the best of the best with him when he left the Mothership Dan knocked down. Yes Fritzy is the best of the best at what he does, Dan didn’t know Seton’s name, Paulie was doing Tony Stewart’s show on the Sirius NASCAR station and McLovin just showed up and wouldn’t leave. Confidence balloon popped. So the question not so rocking was who has updated their looks in the last two years in hair and make up for television. In August McLovin consulted his wife and stylist and touched up his hair. The stylist claimed it wouldn’t be noticed. Everyone noticed. When DP did it at the Mothership everyone noticed and it was a horrible experience for him. Paulie stood his ground and said he never did although his hair has looked lighter. Could that have been from the summer sun? Paulie’s wife stated he has never dyed his hair in their home. Paulie’s barber confirms that he has only cut the hair and what he did after leaving he did not know. Seton continues to think Paulie is lying. What about make up – other than Danette make up day and tiger face day. Fritzy considered "a little rouge and eye liner" but didn’t go through with it. That could be a bit drag queen if Fritzy applied it on that round face. The I Team, headed by Paulie, is investigating the I Team. Hairgate. 
 

On a side note:
Rick in MA questioned if maybe some artificial tanning was involved in making Paulie’s hair look darker. I can see it now. Paulie’s in the spray tan booth with swimmer goggles and the disposable shorts getting the spray applied channeling his inner Channing Tatum.

Is Paulie aspiring to look like one of these guys?

Seton’s official day for his Tiger bet pay off is Friday. Whitey Herzog hair cut, tiger make up and costume. What happened to singing Eye of the Tiger?

Whitey Herzog and his hair

Chris Berman got hammered on Twitter last night after his interview with the presidential candidates. What would DP do? Keep it light, keep it about sports. Don’t ask what everyone else is asking. Ask what the every man would want to know. Do you remember when DP was at ESPN and did the phone interview with Clinton and accidentally hung up on him? I wonder if the Clinton autographed picture of Clinton on the phone with Dan is hanging in the mancave?

 

No tequila face and jazz hands during the presidential
interviews Monday night

Just your everyday football family: How long does it take to hit the ground when your kid sends you airborne? According to Howie Long from NFL on Fox, when his St. Louis Rams defensive end son Chris sent him flying it seemed like an eternity.

 

Nothing like a father and son bonding

Bob Costas today spoke of his interview with Jerry Jones and other sports related stuff but more interestingly the art of the interview. Something that he does very well. I decided it’s not what he says or how it says it. It’s how his voice is like butter. Then Dan stepped in and did a topper of an interview question for Jay Cutler. DP wins once again. Costas admits defeat. This was only to be topped by Costas winning a Sports Emmy for his interview with Jerry Sandusky.

 

Costas with one of his 232 Emmys

What does DP dream about? SI swimsuit models? Jennifer Anniston? The chick from Entourage he’s so crazy about that I can’t pronounce her name? Nope. It’s par 3, 7 at Pebble Beach and not pervy dreams like Fritzy. Here’s another thing. Fritzy doesn’t drink, yet his conversations at lunch and the way he talks are as if he does. He gets a little loose after knockin’ back a few wings and the lips start to flappin’. Wings, the new drug. This can only be second to Fritzy’s Chinese food, Mountain Dew and Cinemax combo.

Chicken wings, the new sex drug

Sven in CA once again outdid Fritzy phoning in three killer mock headlines.

Wild Bill, one of the Directv cameramen, who’s a hoot to watch, is solid as a rock. No matter how many times Dan tossed a ball at his junk he didn’t flinch. Maybe he really is solid as a rock, down there.

DTV's Wild Bill's doppleganger, Hickok

Beer sampling after the show again today. This is the third rendition. Time to narrow down the final taste. This is the beer that will debut at the Super Bowl. The official name of the beer isn’t on the bottle yet and won’t be revealed until much later. Honey I’m working late again today!

To go with the beer today was the smell of the bread baking downstairs at Subway wafting up into Dan’s side of the studio.

Did you know: Dan’s mom once called the show concerned because her son had missed three shots in a row shooting hoops during a look in.

The man doesn't miss in his own house

Bonus feature:

Saw a new coffee break with McLovin today featuring Nick from the back. In the feature McLovin introduced Nick as the person responsible for the condition of the coffee maker and supplies. Well of course nothing was to McLovin’s liking so as punishment he poured what looked like cold coffee with cream over Nick’s head saying "Do better, no sorries." Now Nick may be shorter than McLovin but the dude is tight. I can only speculate that Dan gave him a bonus so he wouldn’t punch McLovin.

Giving feels good – keep it up! Thoughts and prayers still coming -
