Mario Pergolini tore into Beni Mármol and Pato Perrotta after their arrest in Miami: “The peanuts bouncing in their brains”

This Sunday, the news broke about the arrest of YouTubers Beni Mármol and Pato Perrotta in Miami. The two Argentine influencers were detained while attempting to enter the match between Colombia and Portugal for the 2026 World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium.

According to the report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, they managed to pass three security checks with credentials from a previous event. All while recording the maneuver for their social media. The plan backfired, and they ended up being charged with interfering in a sporting event, a crime that U.S. authorities take very seriously.

A judge set a bail of $2,500 for each of them. Therefore, they spent some time at the Turner Guilford Knight correctional center until their situation was resolved. In the end, they met the conditions and regained their freedom, but the episode had already made headlines around the world.

Pergolini's Unfiltered Reaction

On his show Otro Día Perdido, Mario Pergolini showed no mercy. After commenting on a political news story, he adapted an ironic remark from Vice President Victoria Villarruel and applied it directly to the YouTubers in a segment called “Fábrica de boludos.”

“Arrested in Miami for falsifying tickets and credentials for World Cup matches, guys…,” Mario stated. And he added: “Trying to get past U.S. security with a fake ticket just doesn’t work. It’s a sign of the madness bouncing around in their brains.”

The host's words generated laughter and reactions on social media. Beni Mármol and Pato Perrotta, known for their football coverage, challenges, and live streams, had traveled to the United States specifically to create content during the World Cup.

The Failed Attempt That Went Viral

The video they uploaded showing how they passed through the security checks ended up being the main evidence against them. The idea of sneaking into one of the most important stadiums of the tournament with old credentials ended in a media scandal.

In Argentina, the case generated all kinds of comments. Some defended the YouTubers, saying it was a prank that got out of hand. Others, however, agreed with Pergolini that showing such recklessness in front of U.S. security was not the smartest move.

The truth is that the episode highlighted the risks of wanting to create content at any cost. Trying to evade security at an event of the magnitude of the World Cup not only ended with an arrest but also with significant public exposure.
