The end is in sight for Dan Patrick.

On Wednesday’s “Dan Patrick Show,” the crew discussed throwing money for a pool of Powerball tickets.

At this time, Patrick said they will continue to work – as long as he wants to continue doing the show.

That’s when producer Marvin Prince raised his hand and asked Patrick when he was going to work.

“Four more years,” Patrick said.

Patrick’s show aired on Fox Sports Radio and Peacock.

Prince said he didn’t believe the host, who predicted he would kick the can down the road again when the four-year period ends.

“No,” said Patrick.

“Four more years, in December, how long will I do this. In January of 2028, I will be on ‘The Golden Bachelor.’ That’s it. That’s all I do. That’s when the microphone goes off for the last time.

“I will take my hair and give it to Fritzy [producer Todd Fritz].”

Patrick jokes that he will be a fishing guide in Montana or Costa Rica when he retires.

Patrick is 66 years old and will be 70 at the time of his planned retirement.

Later, a caller lamented the announcement and said listeners needed eight more years.

“No, no, no,” said Patrick.

“This is a young man’s game. I’m the oldest guy to do it. I’m having fun doing it but at the end of 2027 that’s it. You have my word, so plan accordingly. You have four and a half years to prepare for that moment. “

He has hosted his eponymous show since 1999, when it was on ESPN Radio, taking control of the program himself when he left the network in 2007.
