Show Notes
Recorded: February 3rd, 2024 The Pardon My Take squad, Big Cat and PFT Commenter join Will Compton and Taylor Lewan for an all-time crossover.

Big Cat cautions everyone to watch out for Sherm and then explains his regret for not buying a Chevy for Jack. The conversation then turns to Nebraska and Dylan Raiola's weight. The tension ramps up as Big Cat and PFT clash over their loyalties to Washington and Chicago, setting the stage for a heated discussion on whether PFT is nervous about Jaden Daniels going the route of RG3. The group reminisces about being featured on Hard Knocks and breaks down how Bussin's new deal changes things moving forward. Will and Taylor are then challenged by the PMT Boys to name 10 NBA players. PFT then rewinds to the early days of PMT, discussing how it all started before their podcast's ultimate rise to chart topping success.
