We’re bringing “Bachelor with a Bro” to the BBB Pod!  You know Jesse Palmer (13:40) from his days as a backup quarterback in the NFL, and his studio analysis for College Football on ESPN.  Now, he ventures off into hosting one of the most popular reality shows in the world! Jesse joins us to discuss what’s on tap for Season 26 of The Bachelor, as former pro football player Clayton Echard searches for love. Jesse teases some of the major storylines to look out for in this week’s episode, and leaves a trail of breadcrumbs for what Clayton might be looking for in a partner.  Jesse also tells us how his career in sports broadcasting has prepared him for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
BEERS: Our Bachelor with a Bro pioneer, Zach Mastrianni, joins the show this week to have some beer.  Zach reviews RI’s own Shaidzon Brewing Company with Buffalo Czech, a Pilsner that has him reminiscing on the glory days of studying abroad in Prague. Will takes a bite of Cookie Hour, a new pour from RI favorite Long Live Beerworks.  Jake is still reviewing beers from his December trip to Florida, as he plugs Riptide Brewing Company’s take of a fruit ale called “Gango Muava.”
BUSINESS: If you haven’t been up-to-date on the outburst from Vishal Garg, the CEO of Better.com, type his name into your favorite social media app and see what you find.  You pissed yet?  Well, just a few weeks after he decided to “step away for a while,” he’s back at the helm of his company. How long does he survive?  We play “Like It or Leave It” for what we thought was everyone’s favorite new fit-tech product in Peloton, who has suffered from a brutal couple of months with dwindling sales and crushed demand.  We also break down the proposed Microsoft-Activision merger that would instantly become history’s biggest tech deal.
BALLS: It’s Upset City in the NFL! Could this be the best NFL Divisional Round in the history of the sport? The Cincinnati Bengals will play the rollin’ Kansas City Chiefs next week, while the Rams get their redemption game against the 49ers at home. Meanwhile, Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers are on the outside looking in; what does the future hold for the two vets?
