What makes a brand worth betting on? Ken Sadowsky, affectionately known as "The Beverage Whisperer," returns to Taste Radio with a sharp look at where the biggest opportunities — and potential pitfalls — are emerging across the beverage category. A senior advisor at Verlinvest, board director at Vita Coco and Icelandic Glacial, and early-stage investor in several emerging beverage brands, Ken explains why coconut water still has plenty of runway, what founders can learn from playing the long game, and why he believes colostrum could represent the next big functional beverage opportunity. Ken also shares his perspective on the rise of caffeine-free energy, hydration, matcha, protein and functional beverages. He also offers candid takes on celebrity-backed brands, flavor versus function, packaging, category positioning and the question he asks when evaluating any new beverage. Show notes: 0:20: Ken Sadowsky, Sr. Advisor, Verlinvest – Ken kicks things off by praising his beloved Red Sox before sharing his perspective on why coconut water has quietly become one of beverage's fastest-growing categories. He explains how strategic decisions by major beverage companies can temporarily shape retailer perceptions of an entire category, and why occasion- and benefit-based shopping may increasingly blur traditional category lines, particularly in smaller-format stores. Ken also discusses several emerging brands in his investment portfolio, including Rite, a caffeine-free energy drink powered by ketones and paraxanthine, and Leisure Hydration, which he sees as a function-first product with a more relaxed approach to hydration. He and Ray also evaluate products from Stillers, Yass, Gimber, Fizzin Protein and Grind. At the heart of Ken's philosophy is a simple question: Why will a consumer buy the product again? While functional benefits can drive trial, he argues that taste remains critical to repeat purchase in most categories. For founders, he emphasizes the importance of spending time in stores, studying the competitive set and allowing consumers to determine where a product belongs rather than relying too heavily on conventional category definitions. Ken also weighs in on celebrity-backed brands, arguing that celebrity involvement can drive discovery but is far more powerful when the celebrity genuinely invests in and believes in the business. He reflects on the extraordinary velocity of beverages compared with other CPG categories and explains why he often asks if a brand has the potential to sell a billion cans. Brands in this episode: Vita Coco, Harmless Harvest, Zico, Gatorade, Red Bull, Monster Energy, Celsius, Rite Energy, Parch, Subourbon Life, Ponyboy Slings, MOTH Cocktails, Spikedade, Super Lyte, Yass, Orange Toucan, Leisure Hydration, Spindrift, Coca-Cola, Neau Water, Eatyx, Oshee, Stiller's, Gimber, Vitaminwater, Pirate's Booty, AriZona Beverages, Ancient Nutrition, Fair Life, Fizzen Protein, Protein Pop, Grind, Onyx Coffee, Donpon Energy Â
Yahoo! Sports NFL Frank Schwab Sports Roulette Final thoughts
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Tuesday's show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a quick recap of Essler's round at TPC Sawgrass, where he parred the famous island green 17th hole, before turning to a Monday betting recap in which the Brewers moneyline fell short again but an over in the Astros game cashed thanks to a three run 10th inning. From there the hosts work through a full Tuesday MLB card. At 3:26 they break down Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins, questioning whether Skenes at minus 112 is a gift or a trap given his rough road numbers, and landing on Miami in the first five innings with the under. At 7:14 the focus shifts to Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians against Drew Anderson and the Detroit Tigers, with rain in the forecast and both hosts wary of laying a price behind Anderson in what could turn into a bullpen day for Detroit. At 11:25 the hosts return to a familiar theme, fading Bryan Woo's brutal road splits as the Seattle Mariners visit Ryan Weathers and the New York Yankees, backing New York in the first five innings. At 14:53 they weigh Dylan Cease's heavy recent workload, including a one hit shutout of Boston, as the Red Sox visit Toronto, with Essler leaning the over and Manji preferring Toronto in the first five given his lack of trust in the Blue Jays offense. At 19:05 the Mets visit the Braves, with Nolan McLean and Martin Perez both trending toward an over, backed by New York's recent history of hammering Perez. At 22:49 the card closes with the Brewers visiting the Padres, where sharp money has pushed the line toward San Diego despite the majority of tickets sitting on Kyle Harrison, leading both hosts to the Padres and the under. The hosts also run through a batch of additional games, including a look at Hunter Brown starting in San Francisco and a Los Angeles Dodgers team total play against Kansas City's Michael Wacha, tying into the ripple effects of the Tarik Skubal trade. At 29:30 the show shifts into its recurring NFL win total series with a full breakdown of the San Francisco 49ers, who sit near nine and a half wins for the coming season. Manji lays out the offseason additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the return of Deebo Samuel, and last year's plus 66 point differential in a loaded NFC West, while Essler zeroes in on a difficult closing schedule that includes the league's first regular season game in Australia against a Los Angeles Rams team now featuring Myles Garrett after his blockbuster trade away from Cleveland. The two hosts land on opposite sides of the total, with Essler leaning under and Manji taking the over and projecting a ten win season if the roster stays healthy. The episode wraps with best bets from both hosts, Essler backing the Yankees moneyline against Seattle and Manji riding the Dodgers team total over against Kansas City, plus a lighthearted exchange about fantasy football plans for the year. Cash That Ticket airs daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, delivering sharp, matchup by matchup betting analysis across baseball, football, and beyond for listeners chasing an edge on every card. New episodes continue tomorrow with a breakdown of the Kansas City Chiefs win total heading into the AFC West race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Monaco is a teammate of Tim Kurkjian at ESPN and also calls Boston Red Sox games. What a team to be a part of in 2026! We start with a lot of Todd Frazier love (and impressions) because we all just love this guy so, so much. The Little League World Series will be starting up soon, and both Mike and Tim have called games there together. That means amazing memories in Williamsport, PA. The first game these two broadcasters called together, they weren’t even in the same room! We hear all about how that went. Where did Mike get his broadcasting start? Well, you might be surprised to hear that broadcasting wasn’t actually his dream when he entered Notre Dame, but that clearly changed very quickly. He called games in the Cape League, so naturally, Jeff did some deep diving to find a question from someone in Mike’s past. Mike grew up a Red Sox fan, and we hear about the players he loved growing up, including Mo Vaughn, Nomar Garciaparra and Jason Varitek. They say, “Don’t meet your heroes,” but we disagree — and so would Mike Monaco. We also had to ask him about the red-hot Red Sox, who have completely turned things around. Mike has a message for Red Sox fans, too: He believes they are the best fans in the world. Mike is a friend of the show and a member of the family, and we are so glad to have him with us — and with YOU! Thank you so much for listening or watching, and as always, thanks for being a part of our family!

Sports with Rod 8-11-2026 …The Red Sox scored a run in a way nobody knew was possible …Not sure “how the Bills can fix it” …Skeletor Tuesday
Yes, there was an All-Star game in Major League Baseball in 1917. In fact, before the All-Star Game became a regular fixture on the baseball calendar in 1933, it wasn't unusual to see some sort of All-Star game, or an exhibition game featuring stars from around baseball. But this game, in 1917, was different. It was staged to honor a baseball giant, Tim Murnane, who not only played the game, but was a manager, an umpire, an executive and a baseball journalist. After he left the diamond behind, Murnane created his own newsletter, "The Boston Referee." It became a must-read for baseball fans and it wasn't too long before the "Boston Globe," scooped up Murnane and he became a sports editor for the legendary newspaper. Years later, Murnane died suddenly at a theatre. Everyone around the sport (and elsewhere) was saddened and wanted to help his family. The Red Sox and many from the baseball world arranged a game to help raise money for Murnane's family. Murnane meant so much to so many that they played the game during the season. Stars left their teams to play in the middle of a pennant race. Tris Speaker, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb, and several others made their way to Fenway Park to take part. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, Scott D. Reich, author of the new book, "One Day in September," joins the show for a look back at a very special edition of a baseball All-Star game.

The Yankees' offense has become impossible to trust, and a potential Wild Card matchup with the Red Sox suddenly looks dangerous. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber admit Boston would be the pick right now, while warning that a playoff loss after last year's World Series run could force major organizational consequences. The frustration extends to Jazz Chisholm, whose struggles have opened the door for Jose Caballero to steal playing time. They debate Aaron Boone's willingness to bench struggling veterans, the Yankees' obsession with platoon matchups, Spencer Jones earning a longer runway, and whether elite starting pitching can overcome a lineup that simply cannot score enough runs.
The Yankees finally have the dominant starting pitching they've been missing, but their lifeless offense threatens to waste it. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Shaun sees reasons for optimism after the Yankees took two of three from Atlanta, especially with George Lombard Jr. injecting energy, defense and confidence into the lineup. Tiki remains far more concerned about a team that has played .500 baseball without Aaron Judge and still struggles to score. The debate turns to whether Lombard should already be hitting leadoff, how much patience Aaron Boone should have with Jazz Chisholm and Trent Grisham, and whether the Yankees can survive a potential Wild Card showdown with the surging Red Sox. Even with Judge and Cody Bellinger potentially returning, the Yankees may need their pitching to carry them in October.
George Lombard Jr. has given the Yankees something their lifeless offense desperately needed: energy, confidence and a potential new table setter. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Shaun argues the rookie should immediately move to the top of the lineup while Tiki warns that the Yankees remain a .500 team without Aaron Judge. They debate whether dominant outings from Gerrit Cole, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler can carry a lineup that still cannot consistently score, plus the possibility of a brutal Wild Card matchup with the Red Sox and whether Jazz Chisholm has played himself out of guaranteed everyday at-bats. The Giants also get a major NFC East opening after Laremy Tunsil's injury weakens Washington's offensive line. Tiki believes the Giants now have an edge over the Commanders, while Shaun says those division games have become must-wins for a team trying to stay relevant deep into the season.
