In the recent “Pardon My Take” episode, Big Cat shared with NFL star TJ Watt a funny story about podcaster, Jerry Jersey, trying to direct message TJ’s wife, Dani.
Jerry admitted to being persistent in sending direct messages (DMs) to Dani over an extended period.
“I was a little Relentless in the DMS you know with you and Danny over all these year,” confessed Jersey.
TJ, surprised, asked if it was about his wife, and Big Cat revealed that Jerry had been reaching out to wish TJ a happy birthday and even asked if he would play Madden with him.
“Jerry has DM’d your wife multiple times regarding asking to wish you a happy birthday and asking if you would play Madden with him,” said Big Cat directing at Watt.
Confused, TJ questioned the end goal, and Jerry explained that he hoped Dani would see the message and convey the birthday wishes to TJ.
Big Cat then asked Jerry to read one of the messages he sent.
To which, Jerry shared a message from 2020, expressing his admiration for TJ as a diehard Steelers fan and wishing for his birthday message to reach the NFL star.
“So this is in 2020 would you able would you be able to pass along a message to TJ for me my birthday’s coming up and it’s far it’s hard for me to get in contact with my favorite player ever I’m just a regular guy but a diehard Steelers fan I love for my birthday wish to come true,” Jerry’s message read.
The situation turned humorous, and everyone had a good laugh.
