Yeah don't listen to this interview and think that it's what they usually do


Complete opposite

Usually they'll bring on guests I hate and then I end liking them (see Joe Buck).

This one made me hate Nick even more. I love it.

Again, I don't know enough about Nick Wright to give too much of an opinion on what Big Cat was going at him for. I just know he loves LeBron.

Big Cat just came off as such a triggered child at moments. I don't where you're getting he doesn't hate LeBron. He's on record saying he hates him multiple times, but he always acknowledges how good of a player he is.

It was a refreshing thing after listening to the BS podcast for years and simmons would rip guys for years talking mad shite to these athletes/celebrities, etc

Then he would give that person an interview and just gag on their cock for 20 minutes and ignore all the dumb shite he has said the past couple years

But I think you're missing the point. Big Cat got super serious on this. He really doesn't hate Lebron...the jokes about Lebron are just for fun.


I completely got the point. Big Cat was just flat out lying saying he doesn't hate LeBron. You can hate a player but still acknowledge how good he is.

It had nothing to do with his love for Lebron or either of their feelings toward Lebron. Big Cat was calling him out for his fake arguments that FS1and ESPN create themselves for content.

He does a lot of work for barstool outside of PMT, the rundown you get more of his actual opinions, and he'll pile on when Lebron does some dumb as shite (like zerodark30, "never been on a super team, etc etc) but when you just talk about as a basketball player, he doesn't hate him. He's not like Portnoy

Why are you so focused on one sentence of a 20 minute interview that had basically nothing to do with Lebron? They almost exclusively talked about the warriors

The interview was pretty good. Big Cat was definitely fired up though, got a little mad about PFT calling him triggered.

His overall premise was spot on, but in sticking with MSB terms, he melted pretty hard and made himself look a bit silly IMO.

I'm not just focused on that portion of the interview. It was just a part where I thought Big Cat looked bad. He doesn't get that heated if he's having that conversation with Skip Bayless because Skip's "character" also hates on LeBron.

Oh wow, so they went serious with this one? Anxious to get home. I'll always listen while playing a couple games of 2k/Madden on the PS4

Skip is on both sides of every argument, including Lebron. His character changes depending on what the common thought is. He is the god of contrarianism.

I didn't care for how the interview ended with them being all buddy, buddy.

The explanation of how pregnancy tests work made me laugh so hard.

Best thing about PMT is they realize when a bit gets stale and they pivot. Guys on chicks is hilarious and whenever it's not they'll find something hilarious to replace it with

That's where Big Cat is sooooo much better than Portnoy. Portnoy acts like such a child all the time if you don't agree with him. It's gotten to the point where I don't know if it's a schitck or who he's actually morphed himself into.

I'm a big PMT fan, but Big Cat should go after his own boss if the LeBron/MJ thing bothers him so much.

That is one of my biggest issues with Barstool. Most of the people at Barstool act like they are still in high school. I love Pardon My Take and find rest of Barstool to be very mediocre.

I hope big Cat got a piece of ownership in barstool because he's a huge part of their success and continued growth. Without him they would struggle. KFC radio was their top podcast when he was on there, then he went on to make his own podcast with PFT which brought them to new heights, and the rundown is much more watchable when he's in it.

He's one of the few people at barstool who would have no problem finding work in the sports talk industry if they shutdown tomorrow. He's been doing more and more radio appearances here lately, think he's thinking about making that move if Portnoy sells completely out or barstool becomes something he doesn't want to be a part of anymore
