Episode 139: Fantasy Football Talk with Mike Randle, Chief Content Officer of FTN Network

Beers, Business, and Balls

BEERS: This week, it's two renowned breweries with locations that couldn't be farther apart from each other - Boston, MA and San Francisco, CA.  Will heads to Long Live Roxbury, one of Rhode Island's best breweries' latest project to expand further into the New England area. Will defies all odds and orders a sour, Hola Fantasma, and immediately declares it "the best sour he's ever had."  A bold take, but a valid one, as early reviews are fantastic.  Jake reviews a beer from his recent trip out west from Barebottle Brewing Company, a popular Bay Area selection.  In addition to their steep flight pours, their brews held up their end of the bargain.  Club Haus is on tap today - a light 4.3% "golf lager" was the perfect selection before a long flight home.


BUSINESS: The days of catching an Uber or Lyft when you arrive in a new (and mostly obscure) city may be gone.  Minneapolis is in the midst of a heated war with the two rideshare companies, as the city plans to introduce legislation that would mandate a certain rate per mile for rideshare drivers.  Uber and Lyft obviously have vested interests to push back on this, as they want to keep their rising costs under control.  What's to make of this feud?  Will Uber and Lyft actually make good on their threats to leave the city, or will they cave?  Will this spark the return of yellow cabs?


BALLS: Mike Randle has made statistics a part of his life: from 25 years teaching math in the public education system, to suggesting the best "start 'em, sit 'em" picks for fantasy football players.  Now, as a retired superintendent, he's full-steam-ahead into the content game, serving as the Chief Content Officer for FTN, one of the fastest-growing fantasy sites in the nation.  Mike sits down with us to get you ready for your 2023 Fantasy Football Draft.  Where should you take a running back as the position continues to live in crisis?  How good really are the Chiefs receivers?  Is Mac Jones going to have a rebound year?  Which of Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Josh Allen will have a down year?
