Happy New Year! Rob and Chris are back at it and feeling better than ever. We hear about Rob's Italian feast that he made on Christmas day where Chris makes him an honorary Ginzo. We hear the backstory on why the Wasabi Fenway Bowl was canceled and the ripple effects it has on the people involved. We discuss the AMAZING story of Michael Gartner, the former owner of the Iowa Cubs, and how he presented his former employees with massive checks as a thank you for their efforts over the years. This sends Chris on a rant to encourage people to be more of a Michael Gartner in their career if they ever have the opportunity to. We explore the world of a social media manager at a sports organization and how their world may not always be so glamorous from the inside. There has also been a massive exodus recently of people in these positions and we dive into our theory of why and how that needs to change.

The Boys are Back in Town
Front Office Features
08/30/22 • 64 min
After a long hiatus Rob and Chris get back at it and pick up like we never left. We recap all that has happened over the past 2 months; spoiler alert, it's a lot. Rob had the golf trip of a lifetime as he hit up Pinehurst for a few days and played 7 rounds, including a few barefoot. Also, we learn Rob actually found a show he enjoys as he's hooked on the F1 Netflix show. Chris went to Jersey and Vegas which likely means his fist pumping was in full swing. He also landed Covid for the second time which relegated him back to the porch. We discuss LIV Golf and what it means for the future of the PGA plus dive into what is the best month of the year. We dissect Rob's first partnership deal with the Celtics and how it all came to fruition. Angry Rob didn't make an appearance this time around as his informational interviews have been on fire lately. We promise (sort of) not to go another 8 weeks again!
