Morning Brew for August 5, 2015

It’s been an interesting couple days, so let’s get you caught up with the Morning Brew.

Before we get started, though, let’s give a shoutout to one of our good friends and sponsors, GodfatherLocks.com. They’ve got 12 out of 14 winning nights in one of the most HISTORIC MLB RUNS in recent memory. They were 4-1 and +25 units last night.

PODCAST

Sean and John talked about hitchBOT, the Eagles, and a lot more on yesterday’s episode of the Philly Influencer Live podcast. And Sean nailed the hitchBOT story in which two pranksters who “found” video evidence of the robot being attacked were actually the perpetrators of the attack.

They were also joined by our newest Eagles reporter, Bleeding Green Nation’s Patrick Wall. Wall’s PhillyInfluencer.com debut was a good one, and you’ll be hearing and reading a lot more of him as we get closer and closer to the season.

Listen to the podcast below.

 

Also be sure to check out Nick’s wrestling podcast, beginning tomorrow night, as he cohosts The Straight Shooters on Wildfire Radio with Philly.com’s Vaughn Johnson.

 

THE BUZZ TREND

And last but certainly not least, we recorded our first ever episode of The Buzz Trend with Sean Brace and Andrew Martin last night. We spoke with the Houston Texans’ Digital Media Director, Eric SanInocencio (@EricSan), about exactly what HBO’s Hard Knocks brings to an NFL training camp.

We’ll be filming a new episode each week, so this is just a taste of what you can expect.
