The Son of a Boy Dad universe and the Pardon My Take universe just collided, and the result is episode 411 — 'Pardon My Boy Dad' — with Dan 'Big Cat' Katz parked in the guest chair. If you've followed either pod for more than 10 minutes, you know this crossover was inevitable. Big Cat hopping on SOABD to hawk the PMT book is the kind of inside-Barstool synergy the diehards eat up.
The pitch is simple — Big Cat is on the book tour grind, and SOABD is one of the friendlier rooms in the building to do it in. The clip the SOABD account pushed out is pure promo: Big Cat in the studio chair, mic in front of him, talking up the Pardon My Take book like a man who has done 40 of these stops already and still has 40 to go.

What makes 411 actually fun is that Big Cat doesn't just stick to the book bit. He gets going on the rest of the Barstool ecosystem too — including a riff on co-host Sas that lands exactly the way longtime PMT listeners want it to. The quote making the rounds: 'There's something about when Sas gets going and I can see it in his face I'm like oh he's gonna do it, he's gonna say this shit… I love that about him.'

Add it up and 'Pardon My Boy Dad' is doing what crossover episodes are supposed to do — move book copies, give the host pod a marquee guest, and hand the fanbase a few quotables to clip up for the week. New SOABD with Big Cat is live, the PMT book is the headline plug, and Barstool Twitter has its content for the day.
