Who are the Dans behind the microphones?
Please give a thunderous welcome that properly expresses how eternally grateful we are for these legends' bountiful contributions to sport and society. Here is Dan Patrick. And Dan Levitar.
Oh, come on, man. Come on. Come on.
Thank you, Dan! Thank you, Dan!
Thank you, Dan! Can you hear us okay? Is his mic okay? Is his mic okay? I say this sincerely, what a magical thing. And you say, so I would also ask you, what is it? Do you know? Do you know what is it? Do you know what we're doing here? The reason I want to explain what a magical thing it is, do you know what we're doing? Like really, do you know what we're doing? How many times are you going to ask me if I know what we're doing? No, I don't know what we're doing. And neither do I. And this is what I would say to you. It's a fairly amazing thing. I know how much gratitude he has for you. I know how much gratitude I have for you. You're here because you trust us. You don't know what this is. You paid money. You made a pilgrimage because you spend hours with us every day. And now you're giving us yet another hour because you trust us.
What is the bond between Dan Patrick and his audience?
And this is one of the few people in the industry who is simpatico with me on what his audience is. And he has a value and appreciation for what that trust is because he's climbed to the top of the business. This business, the Shoutfest, that is the ocean of debate with fairness and decency. You trust him to be credible. Everybody hates the media. They don't hate him. You're bringing the vibe down here, Dan. Come on, let's go. Let's have some fun here. I want to talk to them about radio, though, and I want to talk to them about what your community means to you, because I don't think they understand. They may feel it, but you're a repressed Irish Catholic. You don't necessarily, you might not tell them how you feel, but I know how much he values you. I see it in the care he exhibits and the product he insists on giving you.
Oh, was there a question? Sorry. That's by way of introduction, I really admire him. The second half of his career is more impressive than the first half, and the first half he changed sports television. So tell me though what your relationship is with your radio audience, because it's more intimate than anything else, and you do a radio show before anything else. TV star, but radio is what, like, that's where the connection is with you guys who are here to see him. Yeah, that was always the important thing that I did SportsCenter, but I didn't know you. Radio, I know you. Whether you email, you call, you tweet, even just interactions when I go out to sporting events, that's the friendship that you have. Like, you feel like you're partners every morning. You're watching, I'm there with you. You allow me into your home.
Into your car, that's as intimate as it can get. I mean, I can't blame some of the ladies if you hear this voice in the morning in your car. Yeah. It's smooth. It's good.
It's good.
It's threatening. It's threatening. It is. It's dulcet. I love the relationship there. I got into radio because I loved that ability to be able to talk to somebody, tell somebody, let you... I could say somebody's name or a sport or it could be a game. You have it in your mind. You create. And I love that. I love that we create together together. I give you words, you put them in your head. We visualize together. And we've been doing this a long time. But it's because you mean something to me as people, not just a listener, somebody out there in the wilderness there. And I think that my crew, the Danettes, we've really made it a point of making this personal. Every single day, I tell Dan, every single day is the Super Bowl. It's gotta be. I don't care what's going on, even when it's not the Super Bowl.
