The Dan Patrick Show: Your Mother!
Caught the very end of the show live today and heard DP’s mother on the air. With the addition of sidekicks Paulie (where’s he been; I don’t think I’ve heard him all week) and Seton I assumed DP moved the show into a studio, but I guess he must still be doing it from home if Mom can just drop by to say hi.
It sounded a bit awkward (yeah, wouldn’t you like it if your folks visited you at work?) but as a big DP fan it was kind of neat to hear his Mom. Especially after all the stories he’s told about the family. He tried to get her to chat about the time she whacked DP’s brother Bill in the head with a frying pan; she didn’t open up about that, although she did seem to revel in the memory of getting “nice green switches” from a tree which she would use on the misbehaving children. Yikes: corporal punishment! DP’s right: If his mother did that sort of thing these days then she would go to prison.
Not getting to hear Keith Olbermann yesterday was disappointing, but hearing DP’s Mom was nice.
Maybe Lou will be on next.
I think they do it from his house. Though once when DP did the show from the road they mentioned that Paulie and Seton didn’t come along so they must have some sort of call in set up. Remember how KO would just call in from his home too sometimes and you couldn’t really tell the difference? I should add that I am not positive that Paulie is in the same place most days anyway, just Seton. I could be wrong though.
I liked the way that Paulie and Seton where laughing in the background while Dan’s mother was on. I thought she sounded like she probably has a dry sense of humor much like Dan, though without his alternating goofy side.
