"The DP Show", as it's commonly called, showcases guests as varied from professional surfers to National Football League (NFL) megastars, league commissioners to Hollywood comedians. The overwhelming majority of guests, however, are involved with sports, whether current or former athletes, coaches, commissioners or agents. Less often, guests who are not affiliated with sports will come on the show, although it is common for Patrick to ask at least one sports related question. Guests typically appear when the sport they are involved with is in-season, but may also come on before the release of a movie or music album or when the guest's name is mentioned in much recent news, such as an off-season trade or violation of the law. Few guests appear year-round and some may only appear once a year. Patrick has consistently stated he welcomes anyone to come on the show who feels Patrick has misrepresented or misquoted them.
The show has attracted high-profile guests to his show after heated or controversial events. Patrick takes pride in that he does not allow guests to come on the show if it is agreed off-air he can only ask certain questions on-air. Patrick has stated doing this would only cheat his audience. There have been guests who have cancelled appearances due to Patrick's desire for candor. If he disagrees with a guests comments or actions, he does not shy away from letting the guest and audience know he has a different opinion. The show seeks to attract guests who are in the news at the moment. Non-sports celebrities often appear on the show, including musicians, actors, politicians and comedians. One of the more popular such guests, known only as biggiecurls, is a frequent contributor to the DP Show.
