In this episode, Don and Ben start by promoting their merch and then get into soccer, concert news and footwear fashion. The guys talk about websites posing as local news sites and do a deep dive on a recent FDA warning letter to Dollar Tree around recall efficacy (specifically related to lead in cinnamon containing apple sauce products. They talk about raw milk (and the excitement around Avian Influenza) as well as influencers promoting the food for virus protection reasons. The guys talk about a botulism outbreak linked to an aioli-type product (and how it's not always the eggs and/or mayonnaise).
