And as you heard, one name that he did not need to whistle for was was Shyne Barrow. That's because - as you saw in our headline - the former Faber opponent has become a proponent.
We asked Faber about Shyne's switch and what it means for "Daddy Dean":
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Speak about Shyne for us, he last time was avowedly against you, spoke out publicly against you as well and now we've seen a facebook post from him saying he supports you. First of all is the support genuine and second, is it indicative of the fact that perhaps his father has shifted support?"
Hon. Patrick Faber, UDP Leadership candidate
"Well you know answering the last part first that the prime minister has at least on the last few occasions said that he would not interfere in the conventions. The prime minister, I am pretty sure, has his personal vote on Sunday and like in the last convention, as he indicated to you, he does have a preference and that he would be moving to work for that preference but not in a public kind of way. But in terms of Shyne, I will tell you that I am really 
genuinely proud of my brother. He, as you've said, was a very, very outspoken opponent of my candidacy the last time around and it took a little bit of healing after the convention, to be honest, it did not happen overnight but I reached out to him and we agreed that this kind of back and forth thing, if you will, is not healthy for the party."
