BEERS: Will reviews a visit to a pop-up of a solid New England player in Widowmaker Brewing Company.  Their IPA’s can be found on the taps of most Boston-area beer bars and in the cans at most local liquor stores, so Will breaks down his experience getting Widowmaker’s flagship Blue Comet straight from the source.  Jake’s trip to Texas a few weeks back meant loads of craft beer, and “The Temptress” by Lakewood Brewing Company lived up to expectations. Although a 9.1% milk stout doesn’t sound ideal in the Texas heat, Temptress poured smooth and refreshing, and even sat well before a night out on the town.

BUSINESS: If you’re on OnlyFans, chances are you’re there for the suggestive content...for now, anyway. The subscription-based app has decided to ban all “sexually explicit content” on their platforms. This will certainly be a crushing blow to content creators; OnlyFans paid out $5 billion to more than 1.5 million users in its 5 years of existence.  Will their 150 million + users take their preferences elsewhere?  We also discuss Amazon’s double-down effort to get into brick-and-mortar models, and Elon Musk’s scary humanoid AI robot that is “naturally friendly.” GTFOH with that.

BALLS: She’s crushing her baseball coverage on NBC Sports Bay Area, she’s the host of the “All A’s” podcast, and she’s on our shortlist of recurring guests!  Jess Kleinschmidt re-joins the show to catch up on what’s been a crazy baseball season so far. Of course, we take a deep-dive on Jess’ Bay Area teams, and how the Giants & A’s are climbing the ranks in their respective divisions. We discuss the rise of the Yankees, the Cubs selling off basically their entire roster, and how each frontrunner can fare up in the playoffs.
