On June 15, 2026, Big Cat and Max Dolente made a surprise appearance on the Barstool Sports podcast House. The unannounced drop-in highlighted the host's sprawling network of industry connections, which stretch far beyond standard sports commentary into the broader comedy landscape.
On 2 Bears, 1 Cave, co-host Bert Kreischer discussed his close bond with the creator, telling Tom Segura that he expects Big Cat to be there for his final send-off: "I know. I ex- expect Big Cat at my funeral."
As Big Cat continues to bridge the gap between sports talk and stand-up comedy, his status as a beloved media fixture remains secure. Whether making surprise cameos or securing a spot on hypothetical funeral guest lists, his influence across the podcasting ecosystem is only growing.
