  • I love the Dan Patrick show, the best. He’s definitely the best interviewer. The show has no gimmicks like the other guys, straightforward, factual, easy to listen to. Just recently started watching it on Peacock, which is definitely a plus. looking forward to the next four years!
  • Listen to DP every morning. Best sports show by far. No yelling or talking over someone. Just good guests and insights.
  • @ricksta760oside
    Starting listening in 2008. Only radio show I listen /watch.
  • There'll never be another sports guy as cool, fun & relatable as DP. He doesn't put on "a show", he just hangs out with some friends & talks sports & entertainment... while interviewing the biggest stars in the world. Listening is like hanging with your friends at your local pub & talking sports. Everyone wishes they could have a job like the DP Show where you love going to work, Dan & the Danette's have it made... "who's got it better than us" nobody!
  • @JDL0427
    He’s the best. I’m sure he has a strong ego that drives him, but you never see it. A guy you would love to play golf or have a beer with.
  • @brucefranken4615
    Maybe the best interviewer I've ever listened to, right up there with Howard Stern.
  • @Iceman_Cool
    Dan is the man, he changed the game when he left ESPN, everybody ripped his format, including pat mcafee. He is still one of the best, and few remaining, actual sports reporters.
  • @mattbywater7347
    Hey , Great job on giving Dan the respect he deserves. ESPN is 100% regretful for letting him go. That was the best for Dan ESPN has dropped in popularity ever since. He is by far the best in the business!!
  • @MrAitraining
    I remember Dan back to his CNN days. The new media opportunities are great when the big establishment media doesn't take advantage of great talents with a following. Dan is just 1 example and I think it's great. Freedom
  • @mattjones4576
    Hell ya awesome video! DP is the man. I found the show late, when they were briefly on youtube, but have been a listener ever since. It was really cool to learn more about his past!
  • @spoonsz
    Great video! DP is a legend and will have to go down as the ultimate pioneer in sports podcasting
  • @greenbeagle13
    Enjoyed the video, new subscriber. There were segments in this video though where the background music was too loud. That being said, still loved it.
  • @jorgechavez8774
    Dan makes you feel like your sitting inside his studio on the couch just shootingvthe breeze. Colin is always intense and takes himself to serious. I prefer dan everyday od the week twice on sunday
  • @mikey-domagala
    Great video! Just subbed! Just adjust some audio in some spaces & you’re gold! Huge fan of DP & am a religious listener btw! 👏
  • @AlBundyPolkHigh.
    Dan has always been my favorite. I even liked Keith back in the old sports center days before I found out he was a left-wing nut😂
