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.

Why no Don Beverage sound drops? I expected better.

Great 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)

Saw that my local Casey’s is stocking Long Drink, I figured what the hell, you gotta go sometime. Might post thoughts.

Great ep.
In fairness to energy drink grandpa, creatine does have neurological benefits.

This 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

I first heard of Jack on the Jeff Gerstmann Show, the #1 energy drink review and video game podcast
The guest is just Michelangelo, the radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

If I see someone exit a bathroom with a beverage, I'm going to assume that person is drinking piss.

I once drank a Bang at 1 AM after not drinking caffeine for 3 years. That was horrifying.

Bud Light's problem is that it isn't gay enough for Chapo's audience

Great job boys, this was the best episode in years. I’ll listen tomorrow.
