Tom Waddle: Chicago Bears & Ditka w/ Marcelo Balboa's World Cup Picks | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 47

Getting cut four times by the same team would send most guys to Wall Street. Tom Waddle had the finance degree ready, but stayed anyway. The Chicago Bears legend and longtime ESPN 1000 host joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy to talk going undrafted out of the greatest draft class in NFL history, the speech Mike Ditka gave him on every cut day, and the 1991 Vikings game that turned a practice-squad guy into a Chicago household name. He also gets honest about the All-Madden playoff game against Dallas he mostly doesn't remember, and what 19 years on the radio with Silvy has taught him. Plus, Marcelo Balboa checks in with the World Cup down to its Final Four — and a look into America’s odd beef with soccer (even though American Football’s scoring is just as “boring”) WIN $1,000 — VISIT  TIEGE.COM/10YEARS TO ENTER  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Marcelo Balboa Instagram: @marcelobalboa17 🎤 Guest: Tom Waddle Instagram: @tomieboy87 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

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.  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Marcelo Balboa Instagram: @marcelobalboa17 🎤 Guest: Oz Pearlman Instagram: @ozthementalist 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

Marcelo Balboa, Aaron Marino & Antonio Centeno: World Cup, Shark Tank & Loafers | TPMS Ep. 45

This week Pat and Dwayne Kennedy ring in the 4th of July, remember Stacey King, and Marcelo Balboa checks in from the World Cup to explain how Paraguay wrecked everyone's bracket. Then two of the internet's original men's-style influencers, Aaron Marino (Alpha M.) and Antonio Centeno (Real Men Real Style), join back to back to talk nose hair, Sears jackets, and how a Marine Corps uniform was essentially the kickstarter to an entire business empire.  Aaron traces his brand back to a childhood on a miniature Sicilian donkey farm outside Philadelphia, and the Porsche dealership moment that convinced him his midlife crisis had officially arrived. There's also a very specific colonoscopy story that earns him the title of "ass man," and a shared goal with Antonio to be the best-looking guy at his own funeral. It's equal parts vanity, mortality, and miniature donkeys.

Joabe Barbosa & Marcelo Balboa: Running Every Street in Chicago & World Cup Fever | TPMS Ep. 44

Pat's back from Hawaii — Pearl Harbor, potential pineapple smuggling, and a flat tire the day before departure — while Dwayne was in Norfolk, Nebraska for the Johnny Carson Comedy Festival. Marcelo Balboa checks in from the World Cup: USA clinched first place, Turkey's coach is getting fired, Cape Verde's goalkeeper went from 25K to 13 million Instagram followers overnight, and FIFA's hydration breaks are getting booed in stadiums— turns out it wasn't quite hot enough at Norway vs. Senegal in the rain. Then, a man from Brazil & London ran every street, block, and dead-end in Chicago, 5,000 miles over 680 days, because doctors told him to start jogging. Joabe Barbosa, Guinness World Record holder several times over, joins Pat and Dwayne to break down what he actually found out there. He’s ran half marathons in slides, rain boots, cleats, and a ten-foot inflatable bee costume, the social media lies about Chicago's streets, and why Uptown is his least favorite neighborhood. Also: Why and how Joabe tried to finish last in the Chicago Half Marathon.  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Joabe Barbosa Instagram: @heyjoabe 🎤 Guest: Marcelo Balboa Instagram: @marcelobalboa17 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

Abbey Murphy: South Side Gold, Jason Kelce Beer Chugs & PWHL Draft | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 43

First up, Marcelo Balboa checks in from the World Cup with a quick field report — US looking sharp, Spain humbled by Cape Verde, and FIFA apparently Americanizing soccer one hydration break at a time. Then Pat and Dwayne sit down with South Side legend Abbey Murphy: Evergreen Park native, two-time Olympian, University of Minnesota all-time goals leader, recently drafted 2nd overall to Seattle Torrent, and the only person with a street named after her who found out by looking up mid-walk. Abbey walks through going from rollerblading with the neighbor kid to winning gold in Italy at 22, including the Covid Olympics in Beijing where the afterparty was 150 athletes crammed into one room. She also comes clean about cheating during that Jason Kelce beer chug (Megan Keller was involved), the silver medal that got dragged across the concrete by her dog, and what it's like to trash talk in multiple languages.  Oh, and the PWHL expansion happened — and Chicago still doesn't have a team. Someone fix that. 🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest - World Cup Correspondent: Marcelo Balboa Instagram: @marcelobalboa17 🎤 Guest: Abbey Murphy Instagram: @abbeyy18murphyy 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?
