TLDR: Saints QB Tyler Shough confirmed the locker room felt the shockwaves after PMT producer Hank Lockwood's infamous fart derailed head coach Kellen Moore's interview, and PFT Commenter is still rewatching the tape months later.

PFT Commenter, months later, still replaying the moment and marveling at the comedic timing on the follow-up question
Back in May, Pardon My Take rolled the Grit Week Tour through the Saints' facility in New Orleans, sitting down with Kellen Moore, Justin Reid, Travis Etienne Jr. and getting practice-field time with Tyler Shough. The Moore interview is the one that stuck, though not for anything he said. Mid-question, producer Hank Lockwood let one rip on a hot mic, Moore kept his composure and answered anyway, and Big Cat and PFT Commenter never really recovered.
Rewatching this. Hanks comedic timing on “do you feel the momentum”is so good
That PFT is still going back to the tape says everything about how this became a PMT institution rather than a one-off blooper. The show has called it a Hall of Fame moment before, and it's the kind of bit that outlives the news cycle it was born in — the kind of thing that gets brought up on air every few weeks whether it's relevant or not.
Now it's got a locker room angle. Shough, who the Saints have since committed to as their 2026 starting quarterback after a 5-4 finish to his rookie year, was asked about the fart heard 'round the building and didn't dodge it.
“We felt the shockwaves throughout the locker room… It just shows the character of Hank though for sure” -Tyler Shough
"It just shows the character of Hank though for sure" is the kind of line that only works because everyone involved is in on the bit. Shough wasn't in the room for the original interview, but a producer's fart making it all the way to the starting quarterback's press availability months later is exactly how these things snowball at Barstool — the audience never lets a good one die, and neither does the show.
For a franchise that spent last season figuring out its quarterback situation, having the guy now anchoring the position play along with a fart joke is a low-stakes but telling sign of how comfortable Shough is in the building — and how thoroughly PMT's Grit Week stop has become part of the Saints' locker room lore, gas and all.
