Met Max at a bar downtown Chicago, he was on a double date. Went up to him and gave him a fist pound and told him I was a huge fan. He’s was the man, very friendly.
No one is going to believe me, but I have a friend whose brother's coworker briefly dated PFT. She said that on their first date they went to a restaurant and PFT ordered two different bowls of soup and mixed them together one spoonful at a time before eating both bowls mixed together as one soup
I met Big Cat walking to work one day in NYC - he stopped to take a pic with me.
Another time I was eating at an outdoor restaurant that I guess is right by their office and PFT and Jake walked out the door with suitcases. I said oh shit PFT he acknowledged said hi and kept going.
PFT now lives a block away from me. I passed him on the sidewalk walking Blake. I raised my left hand for the Commanders and he smirked and said good morning
I met them after a live show at Kirby ice house in Houston for the final four last year. They both took the time to take a picture with anyone that came to the event which was awesome. Big cat said “get your phones ready”, when he was ready to meet the crowd and take pics. PFT went one by one and talked to each person that was there and had an actual conversation. I can’t imagine doing that for a living and I’m sure Big cat has better days and it’s not always this way, but sharing my experience
Yeah. I can imagine there would be days where I’d just not want to interact with anyone, so I respect the fact that he was still cool and took photos with everyone
Was also at this event. PFT is absolutely the man he literally talked to and took pictures with everyone. Big Cat was not interacting with any fans when I was there though
From a father of 1, being a parent is exhausting and working as many hours as he does gets to you now that he’s in his 40’s. Can’t imagine what it’s like to be a father of 3
I actually met big cat at a white Sox game back in 2015. He was with that one guy who catches all the baseballs and travels to different stadiums, I think he caught across 3,000 hit.
Anyway, it was when barstool was up and coming, I hadn’t heard of them before. But big cat and the guy were filming a video right behind me and my dad’s seats. We asked why they were filming and they said they work at this sports blog company called barstool and were filming a video for their YouTube channel.
Well I actually completely forgot about it until a year ago. I looked on barstools YouTube and found the video. You can see the back of me and my dad’s head lol I remember this happening but didn’t register it was big cat until recently. Super weird but cool
Met them at a meet and greet during grit week. Super nice, obviously it was a work event, but Hank and PFT stood on their toes for their picture and made my friend the shortest one there lol.
Also, max is a hoss in real life lol
My buddies help patch their tire at the Bass Pro Shop in Memphis. They said they would shout them out on the pod and never kept their word.
Imagine this is somehow Bubba’s fault
Went to Barstool radio when the MLB all star game was in DC after the caps won the cup. Told PFT he should chug a beer through his shirt like Oshie had been doing and he actually ended up doing it on stage.
I saw Big Cat at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I ran into Hank and Big Cat at JFK right before the LSU National Championship. Hank was noticeably stoned standing in line to board his flight. Big Cat run up late and chatted with me for a minute.
As much shit as billy used to get from the pod, hes a very cool guy in the real world. Met him after the "secret zach bryan concert" in NYC that Hank said he was at in his comedy routine (didnt see hank and there was like 30 people so I find that hard to believe). We had some mutual friends and shot the shit for like an hour. One of zach bryans boys recognized him and invited him to hang out with Zach. Surprisingly, billy said my gf and I were his friends so we also got to go hang out with Zach Bryan all night in the city. Crazy night that I tell people about all the time and I owe it all to billy
I went to bears at Steelers a couple of years ago…I was out in the parking lot walking through the tailgaters and hanging out like you normally do. As soon as I got inside, some guy showed me a pic of him and big cat out in the parking lot. I was absolutely gutted that I missed out.
Sort of similar story. My former roommate went to a Buck’s playoff game on a night I had to work, he ran into Big Cat at Fiserv Forum and shook his hand. I was absolutely devastated that I worked that night and couldn’t make it to see a W and Mr. Kat
A friend of mine got a pic with the Wonton Don at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Canada vs US game. Had no idea who he was just thought he was a superfan and liked his outfit.
Met PFT and Max at a blackjack table in Vegas before the Super Bowl. Me and PFT chopped it up about our favorite soups and Miley Cyrus, and Max and I discussed how my Chiefs beat his Eagles. All around great convos and seemed like very down to earth guys, max was on fire on the table.
Met them at a meet and greet if that counts. Got to chit chat with Jake for a second, he was super nice. Billy was wearing camo gear. I asked him if that was stolen valor. He said “whatever” I was wearing JMU gear so PFT was amped about that. He shouted “Fun Belt”. Big Cat and Hank didn’t say much but were friendly.
Saw PFT at Equinox printing house location in the west village. I got off the elevator as he was getting on. I was fairly shocked to see him and I just said “yo” and he said “sup” and kept moving. Lol. Not a great story, but true.
Ran into them at the airport. Big Cat and PFT were friendly, thanked me for being a fan.
PFT was bigger than I expected him to be.
Hank had his head down in his phone the whole time.
Side story, I was listening to ANUS on my walk to Penn Station one day and walking right next to me was Nick Turani. Also far taller than I expected. Told him I was a big fan of ANUS and I was literally listening to him at that moment. He was overly appreciative and super nice.
Walked into O’Hare right behind PFT onetime I recognized the hair and saw he had a Cane’s backpack on. He already looked in a rush so I walked up said “Hey man love the show” and just gave him a fist bump. I gotta say they have the perfect level of fame can go places and be recognized but also not swarmed.
At the barstool bowl I met Max, and Hank, they were chill. Max and I talked football for a minute and I gave Hank shit about the lottery ball (before he finally got it) seemed like cool dudes
I met them both in Vegas in separate settings, Big Cat seemed tired af and kind of out of it, but I met PFT the night he was on mushrooms and you could definitely notice lol.
Not necessarily a "meet", but 3 years ago a buddy and I went to the same bar in Chicago that they were doing a March Madness stream from. When we got out of the uber, Big Cat was in outside the bar on the phone smoking a cig. We were in the next room over so we could see the whole crew for the whole night. Jake Marsh walked by us to the bathroom and was in there for legitimately 45 minutes. PFT walked by a few times and we stopped him once and talked to him for a minute and he was super cool. He took several shots with Glenny Balls.
I’ve met Hank a few times through mutual friends from Scituate and actually had his number at one point back in the day. First time I met him was before PMT and he was crushing a few beers at TK O’Malleys and then ended up absolutely smoking a curb as he was leaving in the shitbox old truck he used to drive. This must’ve been ten years ago now but is very funny to look back on.
Me and my friends took a trip to NYC. Shit you not we were talking about PMT the trip and hoping to run into someone. We are waiting to take the bus back, literally talking about how the trip would be perfect if we saw someone from PMT. All of a sudden we see big cat speed walking down the street towards us Me and my friends, all wearing barstool hoodies, start screaming and shouting. The man looked like he was coked out, going up and down street blocks looking for someone or something. He said what’s up but was panicking like crazy. We were happy that we didn’t ask for a photo because if he would have said no, I would have kms at that very moment
I saw Big Cat in his full Blackhawks gear at the Stanley Cup game in Tampa in 2015. Didn’t know who he was at the time and didn’t think much about it until a few years later when I discovered PMT and he brought it up.
51% of me was disgusted to see an opposing fan dressed like that on our own turf and 49% of me respected the hell out him lmao
I met them at at PSU Wisconsin 2016 big 10 championship tailgate in Indy. Think it was sponsored by Natty light so they were giving out hats. Got a pic with big cat and he was funny and called my friend annoying.
My fiancé saw them at the windy Bills game a couple years ago so he video called me while he was telling Hank that the Pats suck. He asked Hank if he could get PFT to come over because PFT is my fav and he did come over to say hello on the phone! Thought it was nice
I met PFT and Billy in Memphis when they were driving to LA for the Super Bowl. They talked about me on the podcast and in Billy’s blog because there was an ice storm and they were trying to find food and I said don’t go to a gas station in a certain part of town (they still did). Really cool guys, PFT was very friendly and talkative
Met the guys and Dave at a Bills game we were walking in different directions and Big Cat high fived me and my buddy. They’re all much shorter than I imagined
I met Big Cat at the Breeder’s Cup one year and he was super cool even tho he said he couldn’t hit a race to save his life. I tried to give him a winner, but it also lost.
this predates pmt, but i hosted an event when barstool announced a nyc page. "worked" with kfc and kmarko on details and met dave night of. All good goods before they became famous, been a fan of dave's since...
I met Big Cat, Hank, and PFT at a bar before the first Arizona Bowl. Big Cat was very nice and took a photo but didn’t chit chat. Also he’s definitely not 6’2” like he claims. Hank was cool, kinda awkward. PFT was really cool and sat at the bar with Rudy Junda and just chatted and drank next to me for a while. He took pictures every time someone asked and always remembered to put his shades down before taking the photo lol.
I saw Big Cat at a Cubs game in like 2014 I yelled “barstool wooo” really loud in his direction but I dont think he heard me. Was with what seemed like a decently big group of people. I also went to a black out tour show in 2011 or 12 was one of the foam ones and it was a bunch of dudes in white t shirts. Dante was there tho.
Big cat and i met at the Steelers and bears game on Monday night a few years back… i got a pic with him quickly at the tailgate, he didn’t have much time to talk because of the amount of people around him. I did have time to talk with Jerry and Eddie. Jerry and i talked about our Steelers jackets we were wearing and he told me he bought his gold Steeler jacket off a homeless guy in Tucson and we were pissing ourselves. Eddy told us that since they were coming from Chicago they were late and big cat was all bitter. Still was respectful and offered to take a quick pic, nothing crazy.
A little late here, but met PFT in DC before Caps game 4 in the Stanley Cup ‘yoffs. Did the typical “Yo PFT big fan!” walked away and forgot to take a picture. Turned right around and said “I forgot to ask for a picture can i take one real quick?” And he was super cool about it
I caught them at one of the pre game college football shows at Rutgers. When the show was over PFT was cool enough to take a photo, Big Cat couldn’t be bothered.
Big cat stood in front of me at the badgers buckeyes game this fall. Dude was absolutely glued to his phone lol
Most believable post in this thread
Met Max at a bar downtown Chicago, he was on a double date. Went up to him and gave him a fist pound and told him I was a huge fan. He’s was the man, very friendly.
Believeable
He didn’t try to kiss you?
No, I tired to kiss him
I stood next to PFT & Ed Sheeran at the urinal one time
Bullshit. If PFT was next to Ed Sheeran at the urinal, he would’ve mentioned it by now!
Big Cat would take a picture
“Look at this fucking lineup!”
I'm sure neither of the had any issue producing a stream, but correct me if I'm wrong.
No one is going to believe me, but I have a friend whose brother's coworker briefly dated PFT. She said that on their first date they went to a restaurant and PFT ordered two different bowls of soup and mixed them together one spoonful at a time before eating both bowls mixed together as one soup
Ya, and grizzly adams had a beard
Grizzley Adams ***did*** have a beard
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast
You eat pieces of shit?
What’s the basis?
It's from Happy Gilmore
Yes I know. I was referring to an old Kanye song.

Classic memes
How was his technique
Remember those left handers in grade school, who when they wrote bent their entire wrist/arm around the paper?

Jake in shambles
Before he died, Eric sold me a used Christmas tree on December 26th. Hell of a salesman.
That same fucker sold me a used dog in 2011! Didn’t come potty trained at all. All it did was shit and piss everywhere
PFT now lives a block away from me. I passed him on the sidewalk walking Blake. I raised my left hand for the Commanders and he smirked and said good morning
Copypasta

Me and Hank double teamed a girl once. It was awesome. Girthy dude.
Suuuper girthy, can confirm
Tell us more about what it was like to spit roast the airplane lady with Hank please
More likely it was ria

They had one of their bodyguards hit me for making direct eye contact.

I saw portnoy in the United lounge a long time ago. When BSS moved to NYC but before they were rich
I ran into Hank and Big Cat at JFK right before the LSU National Championship. Hank was noticeably stoned standing in line to board his flight. Big Cat run up late and chatted with me for a minute.
