Dan Le Batard Parodies Colin Cowherd’s Hype Video

Wednesday was undeniably a good day for Colin Cowherd and his podcast network, The Volume. That’s why the FOX Sports Radio host took to Twitter to post a video celebrating his newest talent acquisition, Liv Moods, and tout big expectations for the network’s future.

The video is goofy and over the top, with Cowherd’s performative laugh as he half-heartedly puffs on a cigar, but the content of this particular video isn’t what matters. Colin Cowherd wants listeners and potential listeners to pay attention to what is on the horizon for The Volume.

One potential listener that was paying attention was Dan Le Batard. The former ESPN personality is now in the digital content space himself with Meadowlark Media. That company is also growing and adding talent.

Le Batard took the opportunity to hype his own network by poking fun at his former colleague.

Are there really major announcements coming from Meadowlark or could Le Batard simply not resist the opportunity to throw a little shade? Remember, this is the same guy that used to have celebrities pick games in the NFL each week in an effort to prove Colin Cowherd’s NFL picks were not special in any way.

If both digital companies are continuing their growth, that can only be good news for content creators. With iHeartMedia and DraftKings behind The Volume and Meadowlark Media respectively, there is no shortage of cash to go around. That means growth can never be ruled out.

One possibility, albeit unlikely, is that there is a very real reason that the two videos look similar. Could it be possible that some sort of merger or collaboration between The Volume and Meadowlark is looming? Dan Le Batard has said before that he and Colin Cowherd have a good relationship. It would certainly be a high profile move that could also be a nice middle finger to their former employer.
