This month we Party with Matthew Riley who has guided for the Bakersfield Condors in all 21 years of the team’s existence. We talk about Girl Rock promotion, Teddy Bear Toss, delivering 6 Packs of Beer to Fans, Fortnite Night and how the team is pivoting during the Corona Virus lockdown.  Matthew provides some insight into his Presidential Library and a personal story about beloved player Colby Cave who died last month at the age of 25.

Surprise! Chad dropped by with some @TemblorBrewing to our friends at Grapevine MSP.

Then President of 3 Point Productions Pat Walker joins to look at the 2020 Water Cooler bracket.  Pat reviews five of the best moments from April and settles in on the winner to advance in our giant bracket for 2020.

Enjoy the show.

• Last Month on the Podcast: In April we Party with social media thought-leader Tariq Ahmad at this critical time in sports. As the Corona Virus Pandemic has separated teams and fans one of the few connections left is via social media.  Tariq shares how teams can shift their focus effectively to these virtual connections, what success looks like and how the landscape may change from here. Then we are joined by entertainment act Cameron Hughes. Cam is well know for spreading cheer and leading with enthusiasm and we need him now more than ever. Cameron looks at the value of our online connections and how doing what we normally do offline can be used during the lockdown online. Cameron wraps with the 2020 Water Cooler Bracket with his pick for the best Water Cooler Moment in March. A unique winner for a very different time in sports.
