Rare and sweet.

I'm pretty sure he's locked in morty's dirt basement with the raccoons...I wouldn't hold my breath that he will get out any time soon.

Seriously, good job, and don't listen to Grits about the mustache...I think it's really the glasses she doesn't like.

Damn that Watchmaker for taking a stand on Sam P.

Jman, do you or I really believe he gives a damn for our suggestions. Nah, he was being humble.

The thoughts on Bold Start and Bwana Bull interested me as I caught BB's last race.

Enjoyed the show. One question - you referred to Latent Heat as "moto"?, never heard that expression. What was meant that. Thanks.

watching it right now

btw: a+ on content.

the set looks very nice.

watching you rattle notes with watchmaker is my only complaint. getting a desk on the set where the audience can't see you shifting papers or a decent p.a. to put them up on a teleprompter would make you look like espn.

great job for a first show.

[blackthroatedwind]

Thanks. Someone on another site said similar things about the notes and as I don't really need them perhaps we can just put them on the table for most of the next show.

I thought the interplay and such fit the relaxed atmosphere.

It really didn't even look like a first show.




Did you see the right show?

the interplay was relaxed and it didn't look like a first show at all.

other than watchmaker jinxing my sam p pick and the shuffling papers it was perfect.

i'm watching tv. i want the wizard, not the man behind the curtain.

The other fellow was very good....but should do something about his hair.

Morte' did you not say a few days ago, that you were to be a guest on Mr.Serling's show. I think you did, I may have to look for it, and certainly, you could have been b.s.ing once again.

So, are you Mr.Serling's good friend, Mr.Mike Watchmaker bda/ Mortimerdextorfoxworthey for all of us here at DT?

Not that I think you would dare state such.

i enjoyed the discussion (regarding the wood and nobiz) about blinkers..interesting that secretariat was mentioned, as i do recall some 'old timey' horsemen actually criticized big red because he wore blinkers! they said that showed he wasn't quite that good, since he wore them....um, yeah, whatever. i agree with watchmakers assessment on tagg being conservative about moving to them.

'phantom bounces'--i LOVE it. i've taken some heat now and then for saying i don't believe in it, glad i'm not alone.

i enjoyed the show, thought it was very good--definitely one that i'd watch again.

saw above that someone said lose the goatee--i disagree.

What I really enjoyed of this show (and the shows I've caught on Steve's program) is your familiarity with your guests...it gives the viewer a natural feel of a true conversation not something rehearsed. Also, this show was very productive as you and Watchmaker are approaching the day differently in your selections.

The only thing I'd change is to make the segment 45 minutes because that is the amount of time I spend on the elliptical trainer.

[blackthroatedwind]

Thanks everyone....really.

I really loved doing the show with Watch. I had almost forgotten how much fun we had when we did " Talking Horses " together ( ten plus years ago ). Watch takes a lot of heat, and he enjoys a lot of it, but he is tremendous in settings like this. It was a pleasure working with him.

if a handicapper has given himself a name "the wizard", i'd give this the same consideration i do a used car dealer that uses "honest" in his buisness name.

i'll go further. any buisness that feels the need to cite a personal attribute in their name should be treated as if the opposite was true. "honest john's auto repair" rates under "pirate bob's appliance service" in my book. pirate bob isn't trying to fool me.

beware of any one whose excuse starts, "i was on my way to church when this happened.".
