Friday, February 1, 2013 at 10:03AM Purtan Podcast #72: "Nabor-hood Gossip & More!"
Speaking of music…we talk about Barbra Streisand’s decision to perform on this year’s Oscars for the first time in 36 years. (Her assistant…I mean husband… James Brolin talked her into it), plus “Here Comes The Bride” - or in this case “The Grooms” - with Jim Nabors not-so-shocking announcement that he is gay and has married his partner of 38 years. Well Gooooolllllyyyy!
Also on the relationship front…we touch on Ashley Judd’s impending divorce from race car driver Dino Franchitti (apparently she got tired of driving around in circles) and the man who pretended to be Notre Dame football star Manti Te’o’s fake-deceased-girlfriend who has now admitted that not only was she a he, but she/he fell hopelessly and romantically in love with Manti.
I also reveal who I’m pulling for in Sunday’s “Harbaugh Brother’s Super Bowl of Sibling Rivalry”…and why I have a special affinity for six specific NFL teams.
We also talk about Chicken Wing Sauce, what quitting smoking by age 44 can mean to your lifespan, and I’ll tell you about a guy who stole a pick-up truck to try and stop his ex-girlfriend’s wedding to another guy. (If it sounds like a movie…it probably will be and we’ll tell you which actresses we think should play the female lead!)
So kiss January goodbye and forge into February with Podcast #72. Like the movie “Ground Hog Day”, you can listen to it over and over and over…
Have a great weekend and Go _______’s! (You have to listen to fill in the blank!)

Dick,
I miss "Purtan's People" and all the great voices! When I heard Jim Ochs Casey & White Fang, many memories of your WCZY & WKQI 95.5 days! It would be great if you did a Tribute Podcast and have the Purtans People back for interviews and fun! I know a few are not with us anymore but to hear all the voices around the table with you and Jackie would be incredible!
Thanks for the Podcast!
Luv It!

Dear Dick,
In your discussion of Stan Musial's batting stance, you mentioned that as he opened it up his left foot moved toward the pitcher's mound. Stan was a left-handed batter, so it would have to be his RIGHT foot moving toward the pitcher's mound. That is unless he was gifted with athletic powers far beyond those of mortal men.
As for sports trivia questions, allow me to break out from the cellar a moldie oldie:
One year in modern sports history the Most Valuable Players (MPV's) of the American Baseball league, the National Baseball League, the American Footbal League, and the National Football League all wore the same number. What was the number, what was the year, and who were the players?
Your pal,
Dave R.
Shocking! Just shocking. First we find out that you and your lovely wife went to coney islands TWICE on Christmas. Now, we discover that you are pounding down chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. What happened to celery sticks dipped in hummus????
