EPISODE 91 - Sean Quirk, Head Coach of PLL’s Cannons LC
BEERS
The traveling doesn’t stop! Will reviews a beer from the cruise a few weeks ago, and he goes for another Hefeweizen. Floridian by Funky Budha is the choice this week. A smooth and refreshing wheat beer is filled with citrus notes and flavors. This week, Jake is in The Gateway to the West: St. Louis, Missouri. While the beer isn’t as good as it is in New England, there were some bright spots in the craft scene in the STL area. Shortleaf Brewing Company (formerly Petrichor) was on the list of spots, and a 11.1% Imperial Samoa Stout took the cake for best beer on draft at the small micropub in the Winghaven neighborhood of O’Fallon.
BUSINESS
Air New Zealand will have bragging rights to the longest commercial flight in the world later this year when they launch a 17-hour haul from Auckland to New York City. To keep travelers from going stir-crazy they’ve come out with a model that would allow their passengers to rent bunk beds during their flights. The catch? Not only does it come at an additional cost to your regular seat, but you get kicked out after only 4 hours! How will this play with long-haul travelers? In the social media world, Snapchat Plus is hitting the market this summer. For $4 per month, you can get access to features like seeing who re-watched your story and pinning your top friends as a BFF. Is this a flop or a good idea?
BALLS, presented by Manscaped (33:14)
Sean Quirk led the Boston Cannons to the final Major League Lacrosse Championship in 2020, and earned the franchise a bid to the Premier Lacrosse League the next year. But, like many in the sport of lacrosse, his journey began far before he dreamed of calling the shots on the sidelines for the greatest players in the world. Coach Quirk joins the show to discuss his decorated career as an All-American goalie, his D3-record coaching stint at Endicott, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. We also discuss coaching Paul Rabil & Lyle Thompson, how far the PLL can go, and lacrosse’s potential to crack America’s major sports. We finish with Rapid Fire - the Yankees, Kyrie Irving, and the Colorado Avalanche lifting Lord Stanley are all on the hot stove.
