Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the unexpected controversy that has erupted around Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. After sending Mulvaney a personalized can of beer to celebrate her gender transition, the brand found itself at the center of a heated debate. Right-wing figures, including Kid Rock and Travis Tritt, have called for a boycott of the beer, while others have criticized the backlash as misguided and divisive.
