Pardon My Take

Pardon My Take is the loudest, most unapologetically funny sports podcast in America, and it backs that claim with stunning scale. The Barstool Sports flagship averages 6.2 million weekly downloads, and its YouTube channel adds another 14 million monthly views — numbers that would make most morning radio shows envious. Its secret is a blend of athlete interviews, meme-driven segments, and a self-aware irreverence that keeps a dedicated audience of 18–34-year-old males returning daily. While traditional sports talk fights for the same guests, Pardon My Take turns them into recurring characters, giving it a cultural foothold that transcends game recaps. With over 1,500 episodes released since 2016, it has built a library of moments that fans quote like scripture, proving it is less a podcast than a weekly appointment with your smartest, drunkest sports friend.
