- čas přidán 7. 09. 2021
- 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.
Agreed, great dude.
Facts
Good homage to Eric. His brother really knows him well. RIPIP

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
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
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
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
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
I really enjoy Kevin doing more serious stuff like this, he is really good at it. And also PFT absolute legend
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
This was a really incredible piece of content. Loved every second of it, so genuine.
One of KFC's best interviews. PFT is one of the main reasons I got into Barstool.
Great interview! Glad you touched on his relationship with Dave. PFTs the man!
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.
Fantastic interview. Really appreciate the depth and not just asking softball questions. Will definitely keep up with this segment
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
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
PFT’s book had more plot in his ten-second synopsis than the NYT Bestsellers list, I’ll buy a hard copy for $50

@@KFCRadio Carl or Eddy
@@KFCRadio Dan
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.
Great stuff KFC, you’re a phenomenal interviewer and host!
Need a Big Cat interview, as well as Feits, and the Chicago guys.
Awesome interview! The sunglasses on all the throwback photos is hilarious
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.
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
This was a very good interview. KFC is becoming a quality interviewer.
Thank you for this. It was amazing
Thanks Jamie! Who do you want to see next on Behind The Blog?
@@KFCRadio I was going to say Rone, but I'm watching that one now! I would say Nick and KB
This series is your best work. Should expand this.
Need Rear Admiral on Behind the Blog, since he’s technically (one of) the longest tenured blogger at Barstool.
These are so good...really hope we get Dan & Dave ones in the future
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
Billy vs. Big T on the Macrodosing pod is hilarious. Fantastic banter.
Ooo
@@henryhall1192 HALL!!!!
Loved it Kevin. Hoping you continue with these with all of Barstool. Coley and Kayce would be my next in line
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.
This was great
This was so good.
I love this. Sitting here relating to everything being said. Super real.
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
This was Elite!
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 CZcams
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
Please do Feits!!!!!! This is my favorite series on Barstool, you do great 1x1 interviews, I always learn so much!
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
If you could get KB to let his guard down he would be a great interview
Great stuff
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
Need a Wonton Don episode
My favorite Barstool employee. Loved this episode!
this was a very good interview
KFC you have been killing it on content!! Keep it up bro!!
This is the best KFC content. Any of the frank and frankettes would be interesting
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!
Great interview Kevin! I would love to see Big Cat, Carl, Eddie, Riggs
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.
Best behind the blog so far. Was awesome learning so much more about Commenter.
Thanks for tunin in Kyle! Who do you want to see next on Behind the Blog?
@@KFCRadio We need to hear from Handsome Hank !
@@KFCRadio hank!!!
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.
This was very good
Without a doubt the best interveiw I've seen from barstool, please re-release the book
Thanks for the kind words Cole! Who do you want to see on Behind the Blog next?
@@KFCRadio feel like Riggs or Big Cat could be pretty good ones to do
Great episode
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
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.
Nick and KB would be an interesting BTB
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.
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
Love you PFT
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.
Browns fan here, love the video

PFT is just the best…. Awesome interview!
Thanks for watchin! Who do you want to see next on Behind The Blog?
@@KFCRadio Clem, Frank the Tank, Wonton Don, or Mintzy
@@KFCRadio Thee Wonton Don! PFT has been the one I’ve been waiting for, this series good shit -KFC keep it up
I would love to listen to a Behind the Blog with Bayou Ben. I feel like that interview could last six hours, though.
PFT is the reason I watch Barstool stuff. Good man
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!
PFT is who got me into barstool. Legend!!
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
"You know who eles is addicted to the blitz, the H-man." - PFT commentator
Nothing makes me laugh harder when I’m listening to PMT than PFT’s and Big Cat’s laughs when they both crack up haha so good
What’s better than two grown men laughing..?
@@johnklee3843 Two men PFT and KFC blowing each other
My Favorite barstool employee this was awesome Pft
this was fire.
Thanks for watchin Benjamin! Who do you want to see on Behind the Blog next?
@@KFCRadio big cat. his life is only what he shows
Growing up in the same area as PFT its dope to see our local celeb finally get his full story out
Yeah especially I’m a Jmu freshman so now I know not to go to Rockingham memorial hospital hahah
@@quinnjones354 PFT shows up against NDSU and gives the pregame speech lol
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
Great interview! Would love to see a Feitz or Vibbs BTB in the future.
Love the suggestions! Thanks for watchin Nick!
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.
Need that book!
Oh absolutely need that hard copy
Great fucking interview!!! Hopefully you'll have a Big Cat interview in the future🙏🏼
PFT - you the MAN!
Thanks for watching Brian! Who do you want to see next on Behind the Blog?
@@KFCRadio hank!!!
PFT Rocking out that Napoli old school jersey....Respect
PFT is simply the best.
When KFC talked about "for love of the game" I really felt that, once you find a position that you love it all changes.
Would love to see KB or Nick on. Maybe together
we definitely need a print of that book. signed copies.
This was awesome. Big cat would be a great guest too
We love pft
The absolute best
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)
Was not ready for that sick ass intro
Love u pft
Solid dude!
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 would love an audio book version.
