Pardon My Take (abbreviated "PMT") is a comedic sports podcast released three times per week by Barstool Sports. It is hosted by Dan "Big Cat" Katz and PFT Commenter. The podcast debuted on February 29, 2016. It first appeared on the US iTunes charts on March 2, 2016, in the number one position.

Over the years, Pardon My Take featured many different interns. They include Jake "Mr. Positions" Marsh, Billy Football (the intern) and less notably Jilly Football. Billy Football is no longer on the show and did not move to Chicago with the rest of the crew. Jake also left the show in 2024 to pursue a career in sports broadcasting. Along with them, Max (producer) and a character by the name of Memes also occasionally chime in on the show.

The podcast's audience generally ranges between 750 thousand and 1.5 million listeners per episode.[1] In 2016, Apple named Pardon My Take one of the best podcasts of 2016,[2] and in 2017, The Big Lead ranked Katz and PFT Commenter as the number one sports media talents under 40.[3] In 2018, Pardon My Take was the 14th most downloaded podcast of the year on iTunes.

Pardon My Take listeners are affectionally referred to as "AWLs" or award-winning listeners (nine years running).
