I was thinking this the other day. The day that PMT goes away, it'll be like losing two friends. He and Big Cat have molded the way that me and my friends crack jokes and think about sports. Sappy but really true.
I'll legitimately be happy for PFT the day he feels like he can take the glasses off. I think it will almost be like the feeling of leaving the cubicle job for him.
He used to get soooooo mad when someone said his name on air like Smitty did when he just said "Eric". Now that everyone knows his real identify and have seen his wedding pictures when he was new born fawn, dont see the reason for the glasses anymore. Must be annoying to wear all the time too.
@@meghanm6282 wedding pictures?! Edit: holy shit how much better are girls then guys at stalking?! I just wanted to know his name & see his eyes in 2016/17 lol
Get Big Cat on. Would love to see him address the rumors that he in fact went to high school in Massachusetts and how he became the Chicago sports fan.
This is so much better from the Frankie interview. Just for the sheer fact that Kevin dialled it back and allowed PFT to tell his story. These are really good, love the candid vibe. Would be cool for KFC to be interviewed one day
This is one of my favorite pieces of barstool content I think I’ve watched. Watching you guys have a genuine conversation minus your shticks is awesome
First time I ever heard of him he was in bomani saying he’s harder than everyone in the nba or something like that because he lead his Rec league in fouls given
It is crazy to hear PFT talk about the night before Van Talk... I remember sitting in my living room in college literally watching Gordon Heyward snapping his ankle and reading Dave's tweets.
It is really cool to hear about PFT's long, winding path through his career. I always wanted to know more about his background, so this interview was perfect to showcase that. Great stuff.
Wonton Donnie before he leaves for Italy would be an excellent interview..... And honestly after hearing so much about Nick your producer, I think I want to meet him. Maybe some of the new characters from the Dozen, your teammates, and of course KB and Nick
PFT is the definition of a pioneer. Taking such massive risks to pursue what he loves and becoming wildly successful is inspiring. He’s brought me so many laughs over the years, I hope he continues being him and making content forever.
I was always curious to know more about the man behind the sunglasses. As a former software sales rep who is now stuck in a cube while married with a mortgage, I can genuinely say I am envious of you all. Good stuff KFC
harrisonburg, va is my hometown! i used to party at JMU over holidays or whenever my schools breaks would match up. i recall a Stool Scenes episode or maybe history of barstool and they show PFT with friends in one of the Hunter's Ridge townhouses. that was the development in which my group of friends partied the most. another great episode, in a great series.
PFT is what lead me to follow barstool. follwed him from SBnation and the steamroom. miss the MMBM very much. the dudes writing brought a lot of joy to my days.
PFT = Physical Fitness Test (USMC acronym for annual PT test: 3 mile run, pull ups, crunches) PFT = some funny guy with long hair, that does adverts with BigCat (Pro Football T., Barstool blogger)
I love PFT he is one of a kind and very unique and that’s what’s great about barstool they have real people that aren’t wearing suites every time they are on screen screen and really say what they want and don’t hold back.
So fascinating to learn Phil Hendrie was a key radio influence on PFT early on! Hendrie's split personalities of Lloyd Bonafide and Martha Bingum and Pastor Rennick, etc., were absolute, GONZO, radio gold!
Kevin, having a real down to earth conversation sets the level of depth to you both so well. It's such a great way to reflect as someone in a more "non 9 to 5" gig. Keep making greatness!
Would definitely like to see Nick and KB be real with you and not joking around and give you more than what we usually see. I mean those two are the funniest at Barstool but it’d be cool to see a good conversation between the 3 of you
Funniest twitter personality, most dedicated person to their craft and researching for interviews in hilarious ways, and there’s a reason so many people anticipated this to hear the story of pft from internet troll to the most iconic person on the internet
It’s crazy how I’ve gotten to the point where I only listen to PFT and Big Cat on PMT while driving, I’ve listened to so much less music since getting into PMT
what a listen. love btb. thanks kfc. love getting to know content people behind their content, so weird not really knowing someone you sped so much time being entertained by.
Anyone ever notice the difference in comments between the site comment section and here? What kind of losers lurk in the sites comments? I know it's been like that forever but when you jump on RUclips, you really get an idea of how Stoolies are feeling about content via comments.
@@carterklein1428 I'm aware, from MA been following barstool since 2012. I just don't get it on their end. It used to be a little more troll based comments on the site. Now they seem butthurt.
No one is talking about the fact that there is a Montana Mike’s commercial in existence that shows young PFT sans sunglasses. How has this not been found yet or discussed?
I know a ton of people who love their jobs and would never want their entire life blasted all over the internet. KFC of all people should understand this.

Truly a guy’s guy. PFT on the first episode of Pardon My Take was the reason I got onto Barstool. The damn man.
Yeah the only reason I found barstool was because I followed PFT from SB Nation

Get Big Cat on. Would love to see him address the rumors that he in fact went to high school in Massachusetts and how he became the Chicago sports fan.
He has stated on the record before he is from Massachusetts, and his Dad was a Chicago sports fan that made him become one
KFC radio episode called Dan Katz from like 3 years ago or so. Look it up
This was so great! I know it sounds sad but PFT and big cat, give me so much happiness and help me get through the tough times
Not sad! I agree. Pardon my take is a great way for me to escape reality for a few moments
Pmt 3 times a week unless I'm in jail or dead baby! 4 life!
Kevin- not pretending to be mad at everything - is great. PFT also great.
This is Kevin at his peak right here
@@akyloren10050I agree 3 years later
I really enjoy Kevin doing more serious stuff like this, he is really good at it. And also PFT absolute legend
One of KFC's best interviews. PFT is one of the main reasons I got into Barstool.

PFT went on Bomani and said Kirk Cousins interceptions were proof he throws a catchable ball. Greatest take ever…
First time I ever heard of him he was in bomani saying he’s harder than everyone in the nba or something like that because he lead his Rec league in fouls given
damn do you have a link? his old bomani segments are so funny but hard to find
It is crazy to hear PFT talk about the night before Van Talk... I remember sitting in my living room in college literally watching Gordon Heyward snapping his ankle and reading Dave's tweets.
If you could get KB to let his guard down he would be a great interview
This was great. Pft seems like he would be comfortable at a meth den or the mat gala. I find these very enjoyable

Everyone needs an Eric Sollenberger in their life. Gone too soon. Thank you KFC and the brother of Eric for telling his story.
Need Rear Admiral on Behind the Blog, since he’s technically (one of) the longest tenured blogger at Barstool.
Great interview! Glad you touched on his relationship with Dave. PFTs the man!

PFT is the reason I watch Barstool stuff. Good man
When KFC talked about "for love of the game" I really felt that, once you find a position that you love it all changes.
This was a really incredible piece of content. Loved every second of it, so genuine.
Kevin, having a real down to earth conversation sets the level of depth to you both so well. It's such a great way to reflect as someone in a more "non 9 to 5" gig. Keep making greatness!

I'm pretty sure that he is called Fat Cat now.
@@guimaraesrosa100 Assault.
Who is that shirtless guy with the mustache is on the Pardon My Take banner?
Right always wanted to know. Can’t be pft
Can’t lie never been a big kfc guy but he’s great as an interviewer
He has the potential to be good but he interrupts too much and talks about himself incessantly.
@@kevinz9536 he was better in this one I thought
@@kevinz9536 came to say exactly this
He is so full of his own shit
Tries to make every answer relevant to something about himself. It's not empathy, it's ego.
Fantastic interview. Really appreciate the depth and not just asking softball questions. Will definitely keep up with this segment
Damn that is wild he is getting paid $80k an episode for PMT
I love this. Sitting here relating to everything being said. Super real.
I loved this. I’m a big fan and really have never seen the two talk before😂 also I’m calling PFT Eric from now on
PFT is who got me into barstool. Legend!!
Would definitely like to see Nick and KB be real with you and not joking around and give you more than what we usually see. I mean those two are the funniest at Barstool but it’d be cool to see a good conversation between the 3 of you
Would love to see KB or Nick on. Maybe together
When he takes the glasses off it will be like when Rey Mysterio took off his mask… still the same great talent. Different outfit.
KFC thinking the toddler in 2016 "has got to be 18 by now" was hilarious.
Great interview KFC, love PFT and getting to see this side of him. Coley next?
Coley would be a good one, just because he’s pretty much an open book with a crazy life
It’s funny KFC doesn’t interrupt PFT at all in this interview, almost like he respects him
It is not respect. It is pure physical love.
