Episode Synopsis

BEERS: Other Half strikes yet again with one of the highest-rated beers in our network, Green City. A 7% IPA, it’s one of those beers that just looks like a glass of cold orange juice. Jake reviews his experience when he tried Green City at a popular restaurant in Washington DC. We debate if IPA’s are becoming the “laughing stock” of social media, or if it’s just another fad. Fall is in full swing yet again, and Will ventures back to The Malted Barley to get a taste of Left Hand’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro. Is there a better fall beer selection than Providence’s best beer bar?
BUSINESS: After a few months of mayhem and uncertainty, it finally does look like Elon Musk is going to be forced to go through on his $44 billion take-private deal of Twitter. The catch? Other billionaires are going in on it with him. We break down Elon’s suspect texts with other Silicon Valley elites and realize that they communicate just like normal people. A few weeks ago, we discussed Kim Kardashian’s newest endeavor into the venture capital world, and now she’s already getting in trouble…she’s been ordered to pay a fine over $1 million to the SEC after some shady dealings in crypto.
BALLS: Aaron Judge has made history, finishing the season with a record-breaking 62 home runs, the most for any player in the American League. Is that enough to keep the Yankees’ momentum going after a bye week into the playoffs? We pick a few teams that might have a sleeper chance at making a run deep into October, and wonder if the Mets or Cardinals can pull it off against the mighty Dodgers. We are bringing back “Contenders & Pretenders” this fall, and discuss who’s for real and who’s just here for the ride.
SPOOKY SZN PREVIEW (42:31) : It’s October, which means you’ll be seeing a lot more spooky content on social media…mostly thanks to Connor from @Con_Spiracy on TikTok, Facebook, and other networks. Connor, now a 3-time guest, joins us to kick off October the only way we know how - with Morbid Facts. We first discuss the Salem Witch Trials, and yes, it runs much deeper than what Hocus Pocus 2 tells us. Could “witches” just have been poisoned from a fungus in rye bread, afraid of getting attacked, or pressured by societal norms? All is on the table. We discuss the odds that vampires and sleeper cells are living among us in America. To close, we review the story of “The Man Who Killed Halloween.” This story ended up with the guilty party sitting on Death Row…and it’s well deserved.
