A craft beer movie? How awesome is that?! We’re joined by Dave Ricci, director of The Craft: Rhode Island, a movie detailing the hardworking entrepreneurs and brewers in the Ocean State. We talk about his upbringing in Lil’ Rhody, his path from a social studies teacher to moonlighting as a film director, and realistic paths that working professionals can undergo to start their own brewery.
BEERS: “ICE COLD BEER HERE!” Two selections you can normally find at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park (if they ever have fans again). We’ll give you a hint: Blue Point and Lord Hobo are the brewers.
BUSINESS: Oracle wins the TikTok sweepstakes? Not so fast. We discuss the proposed partnership between the most viral app on the market and a titan of cloud computing, and its implications on American commerce & social media. We also talk DraftKings, which you should have your eyes on as a partnership with ESPN and the exploding popularity of sports betting may send DraftKings into all-time highs.
BALLS: SPORTS! Football is back! We break down some findings from Week 1; diving into Cam Newton’s debut with the Pats, a confusing loss for the Giants, and some other big storylines in the NFL this year. We talk NBA playoffs, the Stanley Cup, and the Yankees’ little win streak after creating misery for all who watched them this past week.
