What got Dan to where he needed to go after the storm? His handsome Dodge Ram Truck. High water? No problem. Tree limbs in the street? "Dodged" them. Downed power lines? Drove right on by. Big winds? Never felt them in his solid, heavy duty Ram and never heard them in the insulated cab. Space to pack up your stuff and go? The cargo box of this baby gives you length, width and depth plus the box side wells give you tons of room. Wait in line for gas? No way! Dan always felt safe in getting from point A to point B in his Ram and his truck showed it. The 2013 Ram gets 25 mpg highway.

From Wednesday: Fritzy had his beloved Halloween sports related names. Basically, this is the same list he’s had since 2002. He always says something along the line of, "I thought we could have some fun with this" to get them on the show. These are sports names that can loosely fit into the theme of Halloween. Because this is the same ol’ same ol’ Paulie didn’t even put it on the morning run down after Fritzy’s pitch. Not satisfied with Paulie’s decision, Fritzy proceeded to send it to Dan in an email. Dan still wasn’t going to go there and Fritzy knew it, so when Dan created an accidental opening, Fritzy was right there to jump in and start rattling them off managing to give the whole list. My new favorite line from Dan: "Did I stutter? Did your ears flap?"
McLovin’s Halloween outfit worn to the studio yesterday wasn’t much different than his everyday Ellen outfit that he wears other than he substituted a vest for the V neck sweater. Worked his Ellen dances moves again. Lovin it! Now had he added a short, straight, blonde wig, now we’re talking! Looks like McLovin didn’t shower this morning – baseball cap day.
Additional Halloween tid bit: There’s a long standing rivalry between Seton and his wife at home. Seton is a Yankee apologist and his wife is a Red Sox rocker. Seton took his son trick-or-treating not understanding the costume his wife put Kieran in. Seton thought it might be from Where the Wild Things are and introduced his son as a green monster. He was close. His son was "The Green Monster" the nickname for Fenway Park’s 37’ high left field wall. Smoked!

Dan often wonders why they don’t give the SI swimsuit models suits that fit. Is there a shortage of material? Seton questioned if it was due to the economy. Sure, yep, that’s it, the economy. That morphed into how would you feel if your wife were in the SI calendar? Everyone would be thrilled and thought it would be an honor, yet Dan held back knowing how guys like them had the thoughts they do about the models. The older Dan’s daughters have become, the more we hear him say things along that line. Good dad Dan. But hold the bus, Dan loves the John Belushi peeping Tom scene from Animal House. By the way, did you know that the SI swimsuit models love McLovin? Not for his good looks or intellect. Because they think of him as one of the girls. Won’t that suck the testosterone out of your system.

Fritzy's current obession with Hayden Panettierre is really getting creepy. Dude, drop it already Creepy with a capital C. Here’s a previous Celebrity Beach Bowl snip it: JLo was once escorted by Fritzy during the CBB but didn’t get a chance to do his awkward 3 second "Hmmm" hug because her burley body guards were surrounding him.

Seton and Fritzy were playing with Seton’s current favorite toy, the zippy yellow football. Seton was in the wrong area of the studio doing Hall of Fame catches and the ball got away from him knocking over Paulie’s picture of his late father on a motorcycle holding Paulie when he was little and the Father’s Day mug that Paulie got from his two girls. Fortunately there was no harm to that foul. Seton’s guilt of what could have been went with him to his the box appearance.
Little Seton isn’t so little any more - How do you gain weight while you’re in the hospital –
Paulie offers up his sister to give Dan shrinkage
No, that last part just didn’t come out right. What do all of these things have in common? New DP gear is in just in time for the holidays and it’s photo shoot day before wing sauce hits the front of their shirts. Fritzy, after being in the hospital for almost two weeks, not only had food snuck into the hospital but also felt he had to make up for lost ground once he got out. What does this mean? Another shirt size up. Latest nickname for Seton, Mr. Tubby, since he no longer can wear medium swag without it snuggly fitting over the stomach. He also struggled mightily trying to get off a smedium pull over. It was like watching Houdini escape dangling upside down out of a straight jacket. He did strike his best male model pose for us today. Work it babe! Paulie’s sister loves how Dan looks in green. The polo shirts that came in were all in XL, too large for Dan. So what did Paulie do? Offered up his sister to do some shrinkage, laundry shrinkage that is. Side note: The Passion Bucket earned another dollar today during the swag look in thanks to…….. you guessed it, McLovin. Mic not on, you loose a buck. I wonder how much he has contributed since Dan instituted the Passion Bucket program. DP merchandise is available at: www.danpatrickgear.com The brand, brand new stuff isn't on the website yet.

Did you know: Dan was featured prominantly in Brad Paisley’s video, I’m Gonna Miss Her (the fishin’ song), that won the CMA Video of the Year award. Unfortunately, Brad didn’t prepare an acceptance speech because he didn’t think he would win and left Dan out of the laundry list of people he thanked. Side note: Brad’s wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley is now eligible for Cougar of the Week and as Fritzy says, she’s hangin’ in there nicely.
Big meeting today at Buffalo Wild Wings after the show in preparation of the network addition of NBCSN was announced early in the show. Maybe they want to have Seton bring back his favorite lines – dude, sick dude and balls dude or Fritzy’s porno pictograph. Plenty of time for Fritzy’s neuroses to be at it’s fullest by the time they get to B-Dubs as he was talking about it already during his box appearance. Growing pains can be painful. Time to air it out and come to Jesus!
More reasons to watch:Dan got a shipment of That’s My Boy videos at the man cave for future audience give aways. How to win TBA.
A Box Score to Remember: During the Phone Booth segment Fritzy went to Fritzyland recalling a past dalliance he had. Now we know why he is so adamant about doing the Cougar of the Week segment. He was once a boy toy to his own Cougar, Simone, who it sounds like made Fritzy the sexual being he is today. Thanks a lot Simone. Paulie ran away, McLovin hid his eyes and Seton could not stop laughing as Fritzy shared his story. Keep it coming Fritzy!
