Fritzy Foot Fouls, Movie Talk, Fans v Fritzy and More

　

Movie Talk

Blonde?

Whose movie taste do you trust?  If the Danettes gave you their opinion on a movie, would you watch it? The movie In Bruges, a dark comedy with Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes was brought in for Dan to watch.  Paulie considers it fantastic, one of the top ten films of all time. The more he watches it the better it gets.  Seton said it was a really good movie.  McLovin said it wasn’t bad.  Keep in mind that any time The Devil Wears Prada is on, McLovin watches it.  Fritzy, well Dan didn’t dare go to Fritzy for his opinion.  Fritzy’s critique would only be on the actress, Clemence Poesy, who Jesse Palmer thinks is incredibly hot.  Hotter than Homeland’s Morena Baccarin?

Or Brunette?

That’s My Boy Nominated

For a Razzie that is. If there’s a red carpet, Dan and the boys will be there. How about gift bags? Appetizers? A Miss Razzie? Who’s their competition? So much anticipation. The entire cast was recognized, not favorably, but still recognized. Trophies for everyone? We’ll have to see if they win.

      Career Advice

Guidance Counselor Burgundy

One of the memorable final moments of Dan being with ESPN was when Will Ferrell called in, in the character of Ron Burgundy, from Anchorman, to give Dan career advice upon his leaving the network. Ferrell stayed in character for a good 8-9 minutes on air with Dan.









Wheel of Punishment Violation?

McLovin man enough to sport
thiese sides?

McLovin returned today without his mustache. Now the question becomes, did he violate the wheel of punishment? Plus, what happened to all of those things that McLovin said the mustache did for him? He was empowered, there was a new vibe he was getting from women, and he felt like a new man. He claims it was giving him respiratory problems, that it was becoming a hideous growth by curling in and it was getting uglier. McLovin says he’ll do something special for sweeps, like grow out George Foster sideburns, to make up for the loss. Don’t hold your breath everyone because we know how good he is at follow through. Doesn’t he realize that the ugly mustache would have been better for the show? eDP owns your likeness when you become part of the show. McLovin’s hair, anywhere on his head, his walk, his lack of athletic display, Dan owns all of that. Sure, there’s a limit to the value, but DP still owns it. McLovin is sometimes exhausting entertainment, but he’s still entertainment. R.I.P. @McLovinsstache (original). In its place during The Box Score Show, Casey Geraghty gave McLovin a Sharpie stache that looked better than the original, from a distance. He lost a few epithelial cells during the break, but the Sharpie stache is gone now too.

Possible NYC Guest Monday

Where am I going to be Monday?

Charlie Sheen contacted Dan. Charlie is going to be in NYC next week and would like to stop by the NYC man cave. Now this is Charlie, and he’s not what you would characterize as fully dependable or fully organized in planned thought so this may not occur. If it does, it would be another fine DP Show moment.






            Speaking of NYC

The boys are readying themselves
for New Orleans

Have you seen the promo piece shot in the NYC man cave for the upcoming road trip to New Orleans for the Super Bowl? Pompous McLovin, Paulie with no joy, Seton’s facial expressions and whoever’s scream that was, topped by Fritzy’s exhibitionous display. Laugh not only at content but the guys wearing make up too. Funny stuff. Great job Directv people on another original promo.





Locker Room Vacant

Under renovation

We learned the reason that the website locker room is down. That portion of the audience participation is being updated. It coincides with improvements associated with the addition of NBC Sports Network. Dan appreciates the audience and what that brings to the show just as much as the audience appreciates that this is something that differentiates DP from other sports shows. The locker room will be back. It needs to come back. It provides an enormous percent of McLovin’s content on the show.

Fans v Fritzy

Baseball HOF Mock headlines edition. It seems that this will be a regular segment as there was intro music made for the piece. The jabs were flying back and forth between Paulie, representing the fans and Fritzy. Then Fritzy learning from the past took a walk off on his line - Juice for Jesus. Then the fans came back one more time with Back Back Bacne. Fritzy couldn’t resist and wanted a bonus round, a one off winner take all with Sven in CA being the final fan headline even though Paulie still had two in the bag. Fritzy went first because he asked for the bonus round and went with his Dire Straits take off. Instead of going with either of the headlines Paulie was holding, they went to Sven who WHIFFED. Overall the fans had better headlines but the win went to Fritzy. Was the decision thrown because Dan knew he would loose Fritzy for the rest of the show if he had lost? Hmmm. In the end, it’s better to play with others than to play with yourself.

Special Deliveries to the Man Cave

One of Dan’s basketball idols is Pete Maravich. He showed an action figure that came with a hand written letter from Pete Maravich to the fan that originally had the figurine and letter. That fan had now sent it on to Dan. This was a special piece for Dan that is on his side of the studio.

Another special item on Dan’s side is a firefighter helmet from Edwardsville, IL. Love and admiration to first responders! @rushdude

He doesn't need a designer,
he needs a barber.

The head of Sony, Steve Mosko, asked Dan who the set decorator was for the show. Dan told him that this was a former dance studio that the DIY Man Cave show did the bones renovation and the rest was all Dan. Is there an Emmy for TV show set design?





Social News

From Ralph Lauren to Derek Jeter

From the social news department of the show: Derek Jeter is dating Ralph Lauren model, Hannah Davis. Step up, step down or lateral move for Jeter? Dan and the boys approve, do you?




Fritzy Foot Fouls

Ride, then drive....away

Fritzy’s foot found it’s way to his mouth again. In making analogies of college coaches talking to other teams while they were under contract with someone else Fritzy had to chime in. Dan had been talking about the relationship between the school and coach as a marriage. Fritzy added that he saw nothing wrong with test driving a car (mistress), because it doesn’t mean you’re going to sell old one you have now (wife). Should make for interesting conversation when he gets home.

How does that taste.
Chew good, swallow hard.

Fritzy also claims that he had not talked to anyone about other job opportunities. Talks, not offers. The I Team believes they have something here and the wheel of punishment is on the line. Stay tuned for updates to come. Go I Team Go!

#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.

　

　

Tales from South Beach, Hanging Off Emmy and More

Tales from South Beach

Look! I played ball too!

Dan saw Jesse Palmer of Bachelor and Florida football fame. Women would just approach him and ask to take a picture with him because they loved him on the Bachelor not knowing or caring that he was once hot in the college ranks as well. Pop culture.

Oh! Greg! There you are!

Dan didn’t realize it at first, but he ran across Greg McElroy from the Jets. He told McElroy if he had turned around and laid on his back, as if he had been sacked, Dan would have recognized him sooner. Greg didn’t think it was that funny. Come on man, loosen up!

Situation Not. Good.

Needing to be shady and not another type of shady at the same time, Dan was faced with a beach decision. As Dan was returning from his walk on the beach, he ran across a group of topless women and a couple of guys sun bathing. Dan could not look, only glance, as he didn’t have his sunglasses. One of the guys was putting lotion on his girlfriend’s back and recognized Dan. He invited Dan to finish applying the lotion. Dan declined the offer as well as the offer to have a beer with them. Nothing good would have come of either of those exchanges. Surely TMZ, Radar Online or Dead Spin would have caught either participation. In the words of Brady Hoke from Michigan, "Not. Good."

Who's Brent spotting now?

What does everyone agree was missing from Brent Musburger’s creepy, old guy description of AJ McCarren’s girlfriend, who was sitting in the stands watching the game? One of Fritzy’s hug moans – "Hmmm."









Silent Voices from the Past  

Facebook finds the interior crack

It’s been 30 years and Dan still talks about the one that got away, Jenny Bashee. So who sends him a Facebook friend request during the first segment of the show. You guessed it. What’s her motivation for opening old wounds? Who knows? She put our man Dan in a tailspin during the break - crossing his arms in defense, looking down at the floor, pacing, and seeking Danette advice. Fortunately, Dan’s a pro, he was able to make a valiant come back and move on once he was back behind the mic. Woman, unless your hair was on fire, you were tied to a chair and Dan was the only one on earth, you don’t 
contact Dan with this type of stuff while 
he’s on the air!


                Top Elephant

Twitter brings the mock headlines
Bama's elephant brought the crush

There was no way there were not going to be great mock headlines generated by the BCS Championship game. But who would provide the best? Random tweets Paulie took last night? Sven in Ca? Fritzy? The best headlines came from the random tweets that Paulie took last night. Watch out! New kids in town!




Hanging Off Emmy  

Kevin's mug

New item in the man cave today now hanging from the Emmy on the turnstile as part of Dan’s desk – an autographed coffee mug Brian Baumgartner sent that looks like him.  It came off of his desk that was on the set of The Office.  

Yep, still smelly

Earlier on, Dan received Jack Taylor’s record breaking, game worn socks.

Only Paulie and Seton (sort of) know

Paulie’s working on another item for the man cave but can’t talk about it right now.  There has been a lot of jumping through hoops and going through many channels of approval.  We’re about 90% there, Paulie reports.  Dan doesn’t know what it is or who it’s coming from and tried to get a hint by asking what sport it’s coming from.  Being the great producer, Paulie wouldn’t budge.  Seton was told, but of course, doesn’t remember.

                No Emmy Here 

McLovin got his acting inspiration from
"Erica Kane" circa 1980's

Although there was lots of drama, McLovin will not be getting an Emmy for his performance in and out of the box. Maybe he’ll be able to get an additional Awful Announcing award for hamming it. "Poor me", coughing, changing his voice, collapsing on the floor as he reached for the door knob, crawling out of the box to towards the bar, grabbing the leg of a bar stool and toppling it on top of him. Susan Lucci would be proud. Even McLovin admitted he took it too far.

Who’s in Nick’s Head? 

Nick's on his way to Hotel California

Nick Saban, Head Coach from Alabama, has plans. Plans to finish recruiting loose ends and then head to the lake and play air guitar. Off his iPad he’ll be playing along with the 70’s and 80’s guitar heroes of Clapton, Who, Stones, Zeppelin and Hootie and the Blowfish. Yes, Hootie, rock icon. Even Darius Rucker would back off of that description. For what it’s worth, he’s also partials to the Eagles… band.


　

　

　

　

Who You Got?, Wanted !, The Ride In, No Dan Today

No Dan Today

Dan is soaking up the sun by day and football by night in Miami at the BCS title game. In studio today for Dan was Chris Mannix for Sports Illustrated and SI.com. Continue to reach for the stars Chris. Dan is expected back Tuesday. One day, some day, Chris you will be the one they call first because they want to call you first.  By the way, you are a better writer, better on mic, know how to wear your clothes and are more athletic than McLovin even though you’re a little on the undeveloped side torso-wise. Word – weights. Just sayin'.

           The Ride In

The bleery look?
Side effect of the car ride.

Mannix car-pooled with McLovin on the way in today. He characterized the ride as pathetic. First, McLovin isn’t a driver, he’s a rider, a train rider. Mannix is lucky he wasn’t killed on the way in. Second, it’s not a guy’s car, it’s a family car with two child seats in the back. Third, the car is a breeding ground for illness. The kids have been sick, McLovin is sick. Short of sticking his head out the car window, trying not to touch anything and then sterilizing once out, Mannix took his chances by getting in. Fourth, even when McLovin is in control he’s still not on time. Even though McLovin picked up Chris late, some how he made up time during the drive so they could barely get there in time. Mannix was right, you can’t use the kids as an excuse. That was your decision and you have to deal with it, not everyone else. McLovin’s life = birth control for others.  Chris will be taking his chances on the train for the ride home. 

       Who You Got?

It’s seems if you’re Irish, Catholic or from Indiana you’re picking Notre Dame.  If you’re rooting for Alabama it seems you’re anyone else.  At least that’s how it is where I’m from.  

It’s not all that different in the man cave today either.  Friendly little wager: Loser wears suit coat, shirt and tie the next time they work together.  Since none of them like to dress that way, it’s a matter of comfort.  Mannix took Bama, Paulie and Seton took Notre Dame.   

                  Wanted!

Ha !  
He's not going to be your coach  !

Our man Tony Dungy, FNIA, has been contacted by third parties from different NFL teams about head coaching jobs. Sorry, not interested. Maybe had he been contacted by the owners or GMs of the teams he may have felt otherwise? Respect.

Laugh Golden Boy Laugh, TLI and More

Dan Does It All

Just another day at
The Dan Patrick Show

Today was what Fritzy usually calls a hodge podge show. We had Peter King talking football and Chi McBride doing celebrity imitations that made Seton laugh so hard he started coughing. There was Cris Collingsworth on about his son playing for the national title Monday for Notre Dame. Swimsuit model, Chrissy Teigen sort of interning by saying "Word" several times during ATG and cutting down McLovin’s stache. Throw in an unexpected guest that Two-a-Days initially wouldn’t let on the air, Steve Spurrier, the Phil Jackson wedding announcement and a review of Rex Ryan’s tattoo. Less I forget choosing between bellies, bruises and staches, an award announcement and well, it’s been quite a day. Let’s see, what were some of the things we were missing? Death and birth notices, a cooking segment, the latest fashion, a music act, reality drama, pets, decorating tips and children. Those were just missing today. Tune in any other day and you will get those things plus more too.

     Guests Bearing Gifts 

Feel free to accessorize the
DP DND sign

Dan is ready for a bit of quality time. A premo cigar from Chi McBride, a calendar and bottle of whiskey from Chrissy Teigen. Dim the lights and put out the do not disturb sign.











Laugh Golden Boy, Laugh

The golden locks of DP

McBride can tell a story, and Dan and the Danettes ate them up. In return Chi loves it when Dan laughs. Too bad Dan wasn’t laughing at the title of the show Chi is on - Golden Boy. Bad memories of this college basket ball coach saying things like "Run the steps golden boy" returned and the nickname wasn’t said in Dan’s favor, but because the coach disliked him and let him know every practice and every game.  Who's laughing now coach?





 TLI (Too Little Information)

Don't be holdin', share!

Dan and the Danettes finally return from vacation, have as McLovin said, "the greatest boys night out ever" liking it to The Hang Over and Animal House. What do we get, one story about Fritzy’s daughter stalking Dan, McLovin not coming to the party and hearing that McLovin’s stache has it’s own vibe for females. Usually after Christmas break or a boys big night out we are treated to a plethera of stories that make us either laugh, shake our heads or both. What the stories do is help connect, as in attach, us to the show and all involved. Is the group becoming a bunch of fuddy duddies or have they stepped things up so much that mum has to be the word to save reputations. Come on man! There has to be something more.    

Quote of the Day (Maybe Longer)

All those days on the road pay off again

No matter who you are or what you do, or don’t do, the following rings true. From Peter King while appearing on today’s Dan Patrick Show: "This time of year, crap happens." What time of year does crap not happen, cuz I’d like to fast forward to that.

Congratulations Dan and Peter! The I Team broke news before Dan did, that Dan has broke his Susan Lucci-esk 12 year drought and has been named the NSSA 2012 Sportscaster of the Year. Also taking honors is Peter King who was named the NSSA 2012 Sportswriter of the Year. Dan, of course, thanked the Danettes for their contributions as he felt without them he would not have received the award. Think Bill Murray was wrong when he said Dan needed to get better help? Murray became annoyed at Seton when he wouldn’t let him on the air with just an intro over the phone of: "It’s Bill, I want to talk to Dan." You may be big Mr. Murray but you’re not the only Bill who can dial a phone. Seton wasn’t going to let another Steve Bartman/Captain Janks/Howard Stern situation happen again like it did at ESPN. A road trip will be coming in June to North Carolina for Dan and the guys for the awards ceremony and celebration.

Bill, take your own advice!

 

Award Winning Performance? It's the Pain It's the Drugs It's... + More

Know Your Show

If you’re going to call in to the show, know what sports seasons are active, know the audience and know that this show doesn’t "break down" teams, players, games, fans or announcers. Learn a new language to get that response or result from DP and for Pete’s sake, be current. JT in CA, I know it was early in the morning on your side of the land but you had to have had an inkling that your call was going to be served didn’t you? Twins talk. Really? Where were you in May, June, July, August, yada, yada, yada? Come back again in the spring!

If it's spring, shouldn't the snow be gone in MN?

More Like U-Haul 

Boxy, slow U-Haul

Could it be that Dan has more speed than a former running back? Apparently so. Dan versus Jerome "The Bus" Bettis in a 50 yard dash. Dan with a 10 yard advantage finished with more than a 10 yard lead. Witnesses to the event were Rodney Harrison and Tony Dungy when they were all together doing NBC FNIA. Tony called it and Tony doesn’t lie.








Award Winning Performance? 

Ahh Dude, I'm headin' this way

McLovin may have set himself up for another Awful Announcing award this year for an ATG segment. Mini helmets move over for the wheel. Wheel of coaches that is. Physically, the wheel looked impressive and had great sound effects, but it also tripped McLovin up. His hodge podge wedge of coaching assistants - he only knew three of the five coaches. Another wedge – "This guy from the Niners!" also an assistant coach. He had Chip Kelly, from Oregon, going to two different teams. On another wedge - "This guy from Tampa Bay!" There was also one prospect he didn’t put on the wheel at all until the end of the segment when he just taped a full sheet on the bottom of the wheel. Dan hid his face in his hands in laughter until he had to wipe away the tears. Seton’s infectious laugh and all the craziness actually spread over to Paulie, who for just a little while had joy during the show. Fritzy seemed not to be able to follow along well. Must have been the meds. In the end, as it seems with all the ATG segments, Dan came away knowing less than before the segment started. Dan had asked before the show if McLovin wanted to run through the piece before air but McLovin decided to stay undercover and do it on his own. Aren’t we all glad he did?

It’s the Pain, It’s the Drugs, It’s… 

Hey Fritzy!  I made this
in 96 seconds!

Fritzy might have well blamed his mock headlines on the fact it was Thursday for as bad as they were today. 96 minutes of work for 90 seconds of silence from the peanut gallery. Dan’s words: "Like a chef taking 90 minutes to make toast." Today Fritzy made toast. He thought it was because he didn’t go pervy and needed to return to the inappropriate side. No, just go to the funny side.







Set Your DVRs ! 

Presumably this is not what Chrissy
will not be wearing Friday in studio

In the NYC studio, guests tomorrow will be: Peter King of NBC Sports, Actor Chi McBride and swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen. Who won’t be there? Our pervy little buddy. Fritzy’s timing continues to be on par.










                                                                                     Hot Water with the Mrs.

McLovin is following me again!

 This could really only be one of two Danettes. Today it was McLovin. He and his wife were looking on line for something for the kids. They ran across a headline about what professional athlete is Erin Andrews, of Fox Sports, dating. Of course McLovin had to click on it and didn’t take the smooth way of explaining his curiosity by saying something like: I’m just curious, she’s been on the show, she worked with Dan, or that Chrissy Teigan, who was in the shot with John Legend and the hockey player McLovin didn’t know who is seeing Erin, is coming on the show on Friday. Instead he told his wife she was super famous and his wife wanted to know if he had a crush on her, which he never admitted he did. On air he did say he was a little disappointed that Erin decided to date a pro-athlete and not a nerdy geek. Let’s face it, the US Weekly part of Dan’s personality would have clicked on the link too.

Not So Famous 

Conditional ticket giver

Dan had tickets to the Knicks/Spurs Thursday game. Good seats, not floor seats, but good seats. He was going to give them to Paulie and Seton until Paulie learned that the seats were good for Dan and a guest only otherwise there were no seats. We’ll have to see tomorrow if anyone actually went to the game and if there were any stories to accompany. Dan did joke if the game was going to be on ESPN he could hold up a sign saying Sports Center next or whatever happened to Dan Patrick? All too funny. Who would Dan choose if any of the Danettes were able to go? Wingman McLovin to help coax the famous female fans in their direction.

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.
