Eric Sollenberger: The Man Behind PFT Commenter - Behind The Blog
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- PFT joins KFC to talk about everything from the early days at Kissing Suzy Kolber, to interviews with Deadspin, to his thoughts on Dave Portnoy. 2AM time slots on college radio. The time SB Nation lowballed him. The time Deadspin interviewed him. Does he have beef with Darren Rovell? Does he secretly hate Barstool? The meteoric rise of PMT. His relationship with Big Cat and Hank. The evolution of his character and launching Macrodosing. The Barstool Van Talk incident. Did ESPN try to hire him? Will he ever drop the shades? The man and the legend, PFT Commenter, on Behind the Blog.

PFT is the man. Never met the guy but I feel like he’s been a friend of mine ever since I started listening to PMT
This might be weird but PFT is on my shortlist of celebrities I’d like to meet in person
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.
Facts
Good homage to Eric. His brother really knows him well. RIPIP

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
It literally happened like 30 minutes ago that’s wild
That day has arrived 😤
Nice paralleling - u should write those marvel movies
PFT has brought me so much joy and helped me through some hard times, makes me feel so comfortable hearing him talk
I feel like him and big kat been my friend for the last 4 years
Who is that shirtless guy with the mustache is on the Pardon My Take banner?
Right always wanted to know. Can’t be pft
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!
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
@@follar00 bro same
Same
Kevin- not pretending to be mad at everything - is great. PFT also great.
This is Kevin at his peak right here
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
This was great. Pft seems like he would be comfortable at a meth den or the mat gala. I find these very enjoyable
A Meth Gala
It’s met*
Drug guy
I really enjoy Kevin doing more serious stuff like this, he is really good at it. And also PFT absolute legend
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
PFT’s book had more plot in his ten-second synopsis than the NYT Bestsellers list, I’ll buy a hard copy for $50
😂 Thanks for watchin Luke! Who do you want to see on Behind the Blog next?
@@KFCRadio Carl or Eddy
@@KFCRadio Dan
If you could get KB to let his guard down he would be a great interview
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
"You know who eles is addicted to the blitz, the H-man." - PFT commentator
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
Donnie’s already gone
May be tough to swing with them not being in office but I would love to see this show with Carl or Eddie.
Love that idea. Chicago isnt a long flight.
WhiteSox Dave too- what’s that guy like not in character?
@@danieljacobson9097 He’s never in character
Carl for sure would be incredible
@@10owenj Yes absolutely. It seems like he had a very interesting path to barstool with college baseball, Labor jobs, the cube life, etc
Nick and KB would be an interesting BTB
Need Rear Admiral on Behind the Blog, since he’s technically (one of) the longest tenured blogger at Barstool.
Need a Wonton Don episode
Damn that is wild he is getting paid $80k an episode for PMT
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
One of KFC's best interviews. PFT is one of the main reasons I got into Barstool.
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.
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.
The website commenters are all old boston stoolies. RUclips is today’s stoolies😊
@@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.
He is an over talker and horrible interviewer
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.
Billy vs. Big T on the Macrodosing pod is hilarious. Fantastic banter.
Ooo
@@henryhall1192 HALL!!!!
This was a very good interview. KFC is becoming a quality interviewer.
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)
This was such a great interview. I would love to see Nick and KB next.
Seconding the Nick and KB. Love those guys a ton - they're hilarious, but I've never seen them be serious
I would love to listen to a Behind the Blog with Bayou Ben. I feel like that interview could last six hours, though.
Love this content. Would love to see Big Cat or Nic on here and see the real side of them with Kev asking all the good questions
I'm pretty sure that he is called Fat Cat now.
@@guimaraesrosa100 Assault.
Great interview! Glad you touched on his relationship with Dave. PFTs the man!
Great stuff KFC, you’re a phenomenal interviewer and host!
Need a Big Cat interview, as well as Feits, and the Chicago guys.
Please do Feits!!!!!! This is my favorite series on Barstool, you do great 1x1 interviews, I always learn so much!
When he takes the glasses off it will be like when Rey Mysterio took off his mask… still the same great talent. Different outfit.
Phenomenal interview. So interesting. Thanks Kevin
*posted 2 minutes in*
@@Ian-yj9yx he released the podcast this morning. Only the video is premiering now. Great try though!
@@mattsean6164 he’s 14 probably lol, doesn’t even understand podcasts as a concept just “first” comments on RUclips
Hank would be great! I know we all know his story well. But he is a man of the people and have done so much for Barstool.
I don't like the narrative that working a cube job will leave you miserable the rest of your life. Some people like structure and the promise that tomorrow is "guaranteed".
KFC also said that parents that are dressed in suits and ready for work at 7am are assholes. You don’t need to worry about his opinions man. Nothing wrong with it.
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.
KFC thinking the toddler in 2016 "has got to be 18 by now" was hilarious.
PFT is one of a kind. Don't personally know the guy, but he seems like a stand up guy and is so witty and funny. Absolute star.
Definitely savant esque
Absolute king. Who do you want to see next on Behind the Blog?
@@KFCRadio 100% Red Ed
Bring back the old heads, like Maurice or that LA Nick maybe...I'm sure there's plenty of guys that aren't familiar
@@KFCRadio Eddie
Fran was great on token ceo and has an interesting story that I’d love to hear more about. Trent would be a fantastic listen as well.
Great interview, but I wish Kevin interrupted his guest more
Would love to see KB or Nick on. Maybe together
Love how pft is himself on PMT and he’s so funny and being himself it’s just awesome
Thanks for watchin Cameron! Who do you want to see on Behind the Blog next?
@@KFCRadio Carrabis or Kayce
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.
🧐
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
Everyone needs an Eric Sollenberger in their life. Gone too soon. Thank you KFC and the brother of Eric for telling his story.
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
This was a really incredible piece of content. Loved every second of it, so genuine.
lets fucking go
It's kinda random but I think it's funny you can see everyone in the room in the reflection on PFTs sunglasses
When KFC talked about "for love of the game" I really felt that, once you find a position that you love it all changes.
Talk less kfc
All I wanna know is who that guy is in the thumbnail and what his significance is with PMT
Nick Turani should be the next BTB
Love that suggestion!
Would love to see a behind the blog on billy football (his blogs have actually been really good as someone starting out) or ben mintz
Was this written by Ben Mintz or Billy Football? We know you guys are neighbours. You’re not slick
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
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
KFC is a terrible interviewer. Inserts himself into everything. Nobody cares about you KFC. You're the interviewer.
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
Could’ve been a really great interview if there weren’t so many interruptions and kfc talking about himself. Other than that, good interview.
I’ve never clicked on something faster
Thanks for watching! Who do you want to see next on Behind the Blog?
@@KFCRadio I’m sure the number 1 for most is the Wonton Don. Or PFT’s counterpart Big Cat.
I would love to see a Carl BTB. Feel like he's got some stories to tell
Love that idea!
Always wanted to know more about PFT, besides Big Cat and Prez he is the best personality Barstool has. Very quick and definitely one of a kind
Thanks for watching Dude. Who do you want to see next on Behind the Blog?
@@KFCRadio I would love to see Dave on giving some props to all the PMT guys. Being a little bit of a dick RYDER (sup Bosco)
Would love to see Biz. 4th line NHLer to media/alchohol mogul
Love that suggestion
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.
Isn’t Phil Hendrie the sports radio guy from new girl? Kinda interesting he inspired PMT
This is the best KFC content. Any of the frank and frankettes would be interesting
Barstool is still a thing? I thought this company was sold and dead. Cool love these guys!
I remember being bummed when they switched from skype to the studio. I thought they were selling out lol. And the day Eric died I was truly upset that the allure was gone. verbal meme “it’s still real to me” crying wrestling fan
Coley next would be dope
RIP Larry the 6th
Ripip
Whoa what fuckin 27 year old makes 150 grand a year?
release the book and definitely release boner dogs. shouldn't even be a question
Must have KB on
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!
Behind the blog on Henry Lockwood next?

Growing up in the same area as PFT its dope to see our local celeb finally get his full story out

@@KFCRadio Man it’s gonna be tough to top PFT, but Big Cat or KFC himself would obviously be huge.
Who is Pat? Gay Pat? Some other Pat?
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.
@23:27 “Cause I got neck and shoulders and injuries” 😂😂😂
Damn, I never knew KFC had a neck and shoulders, did you guys?
Eddie or Coley would be awesome
i cant for the life of me remember who told me to listen to PMT but I hope they are living a good life now. I think it was someone drunk at a bar. I gave it a try and it was the Johnny manziel episode. I literally had no clue how their process worked. I just threw it on and had no idea who was who. It was just guys talking. I thought that it like literally started with Johhny and I was guessing as to who Johhny's voice was. I thought it was PFT. I said to myself, how the fuck is Johnny Manziel this funny and witty, there is no way. I kept listening and i convinced myself it was johnny because i heard his voice before and it was similar. obviously they introduced him and i was like oh wow i am an idiot. From that moment on i was like, these guys are it. I've never experienced such cleverness/wit/humor that aligned with mine. I felt like I found a home and the rest is history.
Awesome Kevin. Let’s do Jersey Jerry
PFT is on everyones Mount Rushmore for ‘Internet Dads’… followed by Bill Burr and Big Cat.
These are great by kfc
Yo kfc, it’s an interview. You are interviewing the guest. Stop talking bout yourself.
PFT Rocking out that Napoli old school jersey....Respect
Hopefully I’ll never end up at Rockingham Memorial Hospital as jmu student
