Tears of Sorrow Tears of Joy, Not a Dog but a Puppy, Shaping Youth

Tears of Sorrow, Tears of Joy

Odorous brings it again with
Wheel of Punishment

Sitting here with the dogs watching the birds fight it out on TV wondering if the Fritz household has recovered from yesterday. Wondering if after another group of birds, the Ravens, made the field goal that brought the second overtime, and the game to a close Saturday that there were many tears at the Fritz house. Tears of sorrow – the Broncos were done, the winning streak was over. Tears of joy – there would be no wheel of punishment for Fritzy on Monday and there would be no Odorous from Gwar screaming in his earphones, "Wheel of Punishment!"

McLovin's choice for
Wheel of Punishment intro

It was rad that Gwar had halted recording their next release to record that segment open for the show. McLovin wasn’t satisfied though, no surprise. He was looking for a different or second version of the intro. Something by Kenny Loggins perhaps. He’s watched The Devil Wears Prada too many times. 

DP delivers in Chuck and Larry

Back to the game of the dueling birds. It’s not holding the attention the way the games did yesterday. Flipping back and forth between the game and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry – "I’m sorry, I don’t speak gay-ineese." This line from DP cracks me up every time. Not because it’s from DP, but the delivery is made by a character in a police uniform (think Village People) wearing a 70’s porn mustache. Sadler’s parallel writing on this film was at it’s best.

Tough guy in 90's Zubaz

There were also leaps of joy at the Perloff house that made sense only to the one male in the home. McLovin will not need to wear Fritzy’s unwashed, commando worn Zubaz Broncos pants. His brave prediction paid off. McLovin did make a future request that Dan passed on to Fritzy: If Fritzy is wearing the Zubaz pants, he needs to wear some form of underwear. The pants are form fitting in the wrong part of Fritzy’s form. Who wants to see that, really. 









Not a Dog, but a Puppy

Where's his collar and leash?

Dan may not have a dog at work, but he does have a puppy. An insecure puppy that follows him about if Dan gets out of sight. The puppy can be scruffy and smelly at times and has shaggy hair. He has problems seeing sometimes and isn’t very coordinated, knocking things over. He’s made messes in the studio and his manners are sometimes lacking. Dan feeds him and takes him to special places but the puppy doesn’t always do as he’s told. Still, Dan loves having him as entertainment and occasional company so the puppy isn’t going anywhere no matter what he does or doesn’t do. 

(Don’t confuse this with intentional shadowing 
to push Dan’s buttons a la Seton.)


                Shaping Youth

Shaping 8 year old
 boys everywhere 

Have you ever wondered what events have helped make some of the Danettes the way they are? We learned that movies played a role for both Paulie and Fritzy. For Paulie at age 11, it was Midnight Express – a father and son bonding experience. Also Hooper watched back to back with his dad. For Fritzy at age 8, it was Private Lessons instead of Apple Dumpling Gang thanks to a wayward adult. 

So Sad, No Dad - Get Well Soon Dan!

So Sad, No Dad

It’s feeling like its going to be an ultra short week for viewers of The Dan Patrick Show.  Dan was out sick today.  For those familiar with the show, they know that Dan must have really been sick to not have come in.  Mid to long time audience members remember the day when Dan came to work sick and would lay down during commercial breaks.  That’s the dedication Dan has in making this the Super Bowl every day.

So what may happen the rest of the week?  I hate to think it but…if Dan isn’t better tomorrow, that’ll be a bust. Then there’s the Thanksgiving turkey - encore presentation. Then Friday will be black for more than just retail stores, as Dan and the boys are out there with the other crazies getting the best deals on holiday gift giving and stimulating the economy.  Sadly, by my math, that would mean only one Dan day this week if Dan isn’t back tomorrow.

It’s ok that radio airtime was filled by a sports radio show anchor, Seth Evans???  Sorry Seth, I don’t know you. I’m sure you’re a good person/analyst but you just couldn’t keep my attention.  I need more than just a normal sports show.  The TV encore presentation was the colorful pants edition, but it’s just not the same as the real thing. Ain’t nothin’ like the real thing baby, ain’t nothin’ like the real thing.  At least when there is a planned Dan absence they are able to have the guest host in the man cave. The Danette interaction brings the show closer to atmosphere and content when Dan is there.

Sending well wishes Dan’s way –

Wonder what the Danette’s did today while Dan was out sick?  Here’s a quick look in.
