725 - Bang! Bus feat. Dave Infante (4/20/23)
Added 2023-04-21 02:53:07 +0000 UTCIn a slight programming swerve on this 4/20, we’re joined by independent journalist Dave Infante to discuss the wide world of Beverages. First, we look into a figure who combines boomer business brain, ideologically void conservatism, hyperconsumerism, MMA, stem-cell abuse and a self-destructive inability to stop posting, all into one guy…it’s Bang! Energy CEO Jack Owoc. Then we look into the broader beverage industry, including energy drinks, brain beverages, how Boomers wine consumption keeps the industry alive, the rise of legal weed, and of course the whole “Bud Lite is trans now” thing, plus the hilariously bungled attempt by a right wing influencer to make a Based Beer.

2023-04-25 19:58:35 +0000 UTCGreat episode, loved the singular focus on an industry that I don't think people think about very much, especially how it ties into how weird America is (what doesn't tbh)

2023-04-23 19:54:39 +0000 UTCThis post is a fraud on the American public. This post was made against my will and is a violation of my first amendment rights. I did not create this post and was forced to post it against my will. —Jack Owoc
