Pardon My Take dropped its Monday episode with a stacked guest list — Mike Breen prepping for the NBA Finals and Keith Yandle breaking down the Stanley Cup Final — but the real heat came from the takes the hosts cooked up in between. Big Cat and PFT spent a chunk of the show absolutely torching Chet Holmgren for vanishing in the Western Conference Finals, and Zac volunteered himself for a public skills challenge against a backup-turned-starter NFL quarterback. Standard PMT operation.
PFT's episode plug laid out the menu — Yandle, Breen, Spurs advancing, and a reminder that Chet is, in fact, tall.
The Chet bit is the one that's going to travel. He's a 7-footer who reportedly went full ghost in the biggest series of his career, and the boys did not let him off easy. The framing was simple — Wemby took his soul, and someone needs to remind Chet that being the tallest guy on the floor is supposed to count for something. This is the kind of take that lives or dies on delivery, and PMT brought it sponsored by Twisted Tea, which is somehow the perfect tonal match for ethering a young big man.
The hosts deliver the Chet verdict straight to camera — no game tape needed, just the take.
Then there's Zac, who decided the only logical response to a wild NFL offseason was to publicly stake his football reputation against Tyler Shough. For the uninitiated, Shough is the Saints' new project quarterback — a guy who spent half a decade bouncing through college football before New Orleans bet on him. Zac, holding an actual NFL football in a Planet Fitness-sponsored bit, declared his new life goal is to throw a better ball than him. It's peak self-deprecating PMT — set the bar at the floor, then announce you're going to limbo under it.
Zac unveils the life goal with the football in hand.
Wrap it all together and you get a vintage Monday pod: real guests, real Finals prep with Breen, an actual hockey breakdown from a 3x All-Star, and two segments that exist purely to rip on people who can't fight back. Chet's got a long offseason to think about it. Zac's got a Planet Fitness membership and a dream.
