Dan Soder, Knicks Whomp The Sixers, The Hungover Episode, Hot Seat/Cool Throne + FAQ’s

The hungover edition of Pardon My Take captures the hosts—Big Cat, PFT Commenter, Max, Hank, and producer Zach—recovering from Max's Vegas bachelor party amid a cross-country road trip to LA for a live show. Recorded in a hotel room on May 8, the episode mixes bleary-eyed banter about lost glasses (Zach's reconnaissance at a strip club yielded nothing), epic yawns, and a five-hour drive featuring three hours of failed Immaculate Grid attempts, with Dan Soder as the highlight guest. Sports talk dominates, blending NBA playoff recaps, football offseason chatter, and segments like Hot Seat/Cool Throne.

Road Trip Hangover and Philly Woes

The group details the physical toll: Zach slept through a blaring alarm, Max hid under covers for playoff viewing, and everyone admits to feeling "still drunk" or dead asleep during the Vegas-to-LA haul. Big Cat lost his glasses at the cabaret (strip club), sparking exhaustive searches and jokes about hidden spots. Philly sports take center stage with a rough Monday: Flyers lose in OT despite chances, Sixers suffer a 39-point "scheduled loss" to the Knicks (Jalen Brunson unstoppable, starters rested early). Hosts debate if it's demoralizing (yes, Knicks won prior games by 25+), but note series context—game one, rest advantage. Max, post-Celtics upset high, sighs it's "loser town" now; Hank roots for seven-game chaos to tire the winner.
