Matt and Hank are back together this week for Episode 71. We'll start by giving our take on the Super Bowl and where both teams are going forward for next year. 

Then at 21:30 it's on to the Carnival Vista where Matt visits with brewmaster Ronald Zeiber talking about the first brewery at sea. Great stuff there. 

After that we'll talk some about the Olympics which start this week. Plus a couple ideas for your Valentine's Day cocktails from Smirnoff. Then it's on to our Jump Ball segment where we discuss the Cavs, Patriots, and Olympics.
