Grudgingly, Adam and Zach discuss the recent controversy surrounding Bud Light's association with Dylan Mulvaney and the mealy-mouthed statement the company released in response. After explaining the backstory, they explore why it is that brands can no longer appeal to unity and an apolitical commonality, particularly if they're also interested in marketing to marginalized communities.
