725 - Bang! Bus feat. Dave Infante (4/20/23) (Patreon)

In 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.
