The show's segments included celebrity interviews, news, pop culture, and music. The duo was referred to as the "gay Lewis and Clark of the airwaves"[4] by Modern Tonic, and their on-air rapport had been labeled a "mas macho" version of Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell from American Idol by Entertainment Weekly.[5]
The Six Pack was both recorded and broadcast live at Sirius XM Radio in New York City.
After wrapping up a year on Sirius XM Radio, Dave Rubin went on to host his own talk show, The Rubin Report, on The Young Turks Network in Los Angeles, California.[6]
