Episode 75 (January 30, 2022): Jesse Cole, Owner of The Savannah Bananas

BEERS:  All snow storms are just an opportunity to try some craft beers deep in the fridge. With almost 2 feet of snow coming down in Rhode Island and Will’s birthday this weekend, we jumped right to the task. Will reviews Winter Warmer from our friends at Moniker - it’s a different take on one of the most popular cold-weather beer styles in the region with a hint of hot peppers. Jake gives his review on Rhode Island powerhouse Grey Sail’s take on an eggnog beer - “Kegnog” - and has mixed reviews.

BUSINESS: Fifteen years ago, Jesse Cole (18:23) went to play baseball at a small school in South Carolina. Now, he’s the brains behind one of America’s fastest-growing baseball brands.  The Savannah Bananas are rewriting the rules on what it means to be a sports team; they sing their walk-up songs, they take batting practice on stilts, and they dance the night away…all during the game.  Jesse Cole, who has owned the Bananas for 6 years now, joins us this week to discuss how he turned a failing minor league team into the greatest show in baseball.

BALLS: We’ve finally got a Super Bowl matchup.  In a crazy weekend of football, the Bengals took advantage of their opportunity and picked off the Chiefs in overtime - RIP Jackson Mahomes!  Meanwhile, the 49ers couldn’t add onto their streak of beating the LA Rams, and are going home empty-handed, while the Rams will become the second team ever (and second straight, too!!) to play a Super Bowl on their home field. We give our gut reactions to the Rams-Bengals matchup.
