Pardon My Take calls Eva Hudson the best volleyball player they’ve ever seen

Drew Franklinby: Drew Franklin12/19/25DrewFranklinKSR

Fresh off the announcement of a new deal with Netflix reportedly worth eight figures, the popular Pardon My Take podcast opened its new Friday episode with talk of Kentucky Volleyball‘s semifinal win.

Big Cat, the show’s host, is a passionate Wisconsin fan and alum, and he was crushed to see the Badgers eliminated by Kentucky last night. However, he had nothing but praise for Kentucky star Eva Hudson in his congratulations to the Wildcats on the Final Four win.

“The Badgers’ loss was heartbreaking. I love this team. I ride and die with Wisconsin Volleyball,” a defeated Big Cat admitted around the 11:30 mark of the new episode. “But you got to tip your cap when you’re bested. Eva Hudson bested us. She was insane.“

Another contributor to the show, Max, chimed in to say, “She might be the best volleyball player I’ve ever seen before in my life,” adding, “A&M-Kentucky will be on one of the TVs during the late slate of NFL Sunday. That’s a fact.”

Pardon My Take is the No. 1 sports podcast in America, averaging more than a million listens per episode. That’s some nice publicity for Hudson and the Wildcats ahead of the NCAA championship.
