While the Super Bowl is over, we have more football content for you! Jake Wallack, or “JWall” as his fans affectionately know him, won the Madden Club Championship on February 9th - he joins the show to relive his big victory.

We also discuss JWall’s love for the Detroit Lions, and Calvin Johnson’s recent Hall of Fame induction.
BEERS: Brewery Ommegang: “where heaven met earth,” according to its website, isn’t really a far stretch. Will reviews Neon Rainbows from the Cooperstown brewer, and his rating is probably worth you heading to Untappd.com to find out if you’re one of the 47 states that Ommegang distributes to. Jake takes a trip down the Pawtuxet River to Apponaug Brewing Company in Warwick, RI. To the naked eye, it’s a “come for the food, stay for the vibes, and drink some beer in the meantime” vibe...but is Apponaug actually a hidden gem in Rhode Island? Jake reviews “Lakerunner,” a West Coast pale ale that might have him coming back sooner than he thought.

We break down Bumble’s attractive case to buy, and Whitney Wolfe Herd’s long journey to bringing her company public.
