Oz Pearlman: Reading Joe Burrow's Mind & Balboa on Team USA's Brutal Exit | Ep. 46

Ever wonder what it takes to convince Joe Burrow to let a stranger mess with his head on national television? This week Pat sits down with mentalist Oz Pearlman, the guy with 8.9 million Instagram followers and a knack for melting NFL players' brains on camera. 

Oz breaks down how he talked his way past a hard "no" to get Joe Burrow into one of his most viral clips ever, walks through the harrowing minute he spent diving under a table at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and previews his unprecedented live Netflix special taping at the Brooklyn Paramount. 

Before the interview, Marcelo Balboa returns with his World Cup report, dissecting the USMNT's ugly 4-1 exit and America's pay-to-play youth soccer model. Balboa unpacks the red card controversy that had everyone talking about a phone call from Trump to FIFA, explains why VAR has officially gone too far, and shares feel-good stories like Cape Verde's hero's welcome home. He wraps it up with his final eight picks and some speculation on whether this is the last World Cup for legends like Messi and Ronaldo.

Safe to say, you may be leaving this episode with your mind blown.
