Recorded: February 9th 2024 | In this week’s episode, Will hits the intro solo as Taylor is out of town for the next month. Will get’s into his time in Chicago for the March Madness, our spring tour and the newest NFL rule regarding the hip drop tackle. Will gets so heated about the new rule, he brings on Delanie Walker and calls in Kyle Long to talk about it all. Following the intro, we had Brian Baumgartner, who played Kevin in the TV show “The Office”, join us while we were out in Vegas. In the interview Kevin talks about his love for golf and the people he’s met throughout playing. The guys then get into the show and how he deals with fans. He talks about how everyone feels like they have a personal relationship with him because of watching the show and his character.

Recorded: February 9th 2024 | In this weeks episode, the boys start off the pod on a bad note. El Pres calls Will and has some choice words for the boys as they missed a mandatory meeting Monday morning. The boys talk about the fallout of that situation along with some of the latest NFL headlines. Following the intro, we are joined by new Dallas Cowboys linebacker, Eric Kendricks. When this interview was first recorded during Super Bowl week, Eric was still a member of the Chargers so we had to have him Zoom back in to talk about his new team. He gets into how he felt about being released and the switch up to end up on the Cowboys. In the actual interview, the guys get into how Pro Bowl voting works, UCLA moving to the Big 10, his transition from college to the NFL plus so much more. Eric is another one of the boys and the podcast ends with a little bit of a competition. Tap in and enjoy.

Recorded: February 8th 2024 | In this weeks episode, Will hits the intro solo dolo and recaps the Super Bowl from this weekend. He recaps the biggest moments from the game like Travis Kelce bumping Andy Reid, Mecole Hardman's game winning touchdown, Mahomes doing Mahomes things, plus other key plays from the game. Will also raises the question, is the reason Mahomes is so good because of Andy Reid? Let us know your thoughts. Following the intro we have our first interview from our time in Vegas. This weeks guests are our two favorite bears, from the 2 Bears 1 Cave podcast, Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura. The boys start off the pod with the energy high as Bert and Tom brought Will and Taylor a little treat. It takes them a while to get to the treat because they go on to talk about the blackjack tournament that Bert and Tom put on. The guys recap the whole tournament and get into how much fun it is to be on the table with the fellas. Everyone ended up winning as well which helped the vibes even more. The guys then get into some real conversations as Taylor brings up how good Bert looks. Bert talks about how when he was at Beer Olympics, he felt and looked terrible. His feet were swollen, his fingers were swollen, he couldn't get his ring off his finger, he just didn't like the way he felt. Bert decided to make a change and went sober for 3-4 months and lost 40-50 lbs in doing so, he looks great now. Then Tom brings up how it is okay to be happy in the profession that you're and it's okay to show it off. Tom defends Bert because of how much hate Bert gets for taking pics on a private plane or in front of the massive crowd he just performed for. It's how Bert lives his life and if that bothers you, that's okay as well. The boys and bears get into some real conversations while at the same time having some great laughs. This is an overall feel good pod that we know you'll enjoy.

Recorded: February 5th 2024 | In this week's episode we sit down with the one and only Dan "Big Cat" Katz. The boys are out in Vegas for the Big Game and decide to chop it up with Big Cat for an episode. The guys start off the show talking about the Big Game and who they are rooting for. Big Cat gets into how there is one NFL that just somehow owns him and ruins his bets whenever he bets against this guy. Then Will turns into Billy Basketball as he has become a fan of Nebraska Basketball even though he has no idea how the basketball landscape works. Will and Taylor then turn the focus to more of the nitty gritty about the inner workings of Barstool. Big Cat tells the story of how he started at Barstool and how he originally found Barstool Sports in the first place. The guys then get into how Pardon My Take started and how it was actually terrible when it first started. It is interesting to hear how a top 3 sports podcast in the world has gone through so many different types of growing pains. The guys finish up by talking about the move to Chicago and the rivalry that is going on between them and New York. Big Cat talks about how he doesn't necessarily like the stigma of their being a rivalry because he doesn't see it that way. The difference is in the type of content that is being put out by both offices. This episode is a great look behind the curtains of Big Cat as a person and his rise to stardom in the Barstool Sports/Sports Media world. Enjoy Fellas.

They get into how Ed would take Christian out of class on game days to go get an IV during the middle of the school day along with all of the other things he made Christian do to get ready for his games. Ed tells some hilarious stories about why he did what he would do as well as some funny stories that resulted from doing these things. The boys end the pod talking about this years Super Bowl and how proud Ed is of Christian and try to get some predictions of the game.
