Can we talk about how Red Bull suddenly stopped overlooking the fitness crowd? It was more than a decade ago when Bang Energy popularized performance energy drinks, which was instrumental in broadening the appeal of energy drinks. And even if they won't ever admit it publicly, large energy drinks incumbents like Red Bull and Monster Energy both incumbents have become increasingly worried about brands incubated within the sports nutrition niche of the supplement industry, aka the “often imitated, never duplicated” influential epicenter of the CPG industry. But while it wasn't forced into a defensive product strategy like how Monster Beverage created Reign Total Body Fuel…Red Bull has more recently started focusing sports sponsorships and marketing activations on fitness enthusiasts. In fact, Red Bull exhibited at this year's Arnold Sports Festival, has gotten involved with fitness racing leagues like HYROX, and created branded fitness competitions like Red Bull Gym Clash. Finally, Red Bull just signed a multi-year global partnership with the functional group workout community F45 Training…integrating product sampling, branded coolers, and leveraging content creators.

This week on Cowboy Shit, we sit down with Shawn Wiese, a cowboy whose story runs deeper than the rodeo arena. Growing up in a farming and ranching family in Southeast Texas, Shawn carried his roots into a 15-year bull riding career, with 12 years spent in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. But his legacy didn't stop there. Shawn became a trailblazer in the business side of Western sports, founding XD Sports, where he pioneered corporate partnerships that brought household names like Monster Energy, Yeti, and Levi's into bull riding. He later launched Vexil Brand, a Western lifestyle clothing company that embodies grit, authenticity, and the cowboy way of life. Alongside his ventures, he raises registered Brahman cattle through Vexil Cattle Co., continuing his deep connection to ranching heritage. Tune in as Shawn shares stories from the rodeo road, lessons from building two successful brands, and his vision for keeping the Western lifestyle alive for generations to come.
Under-16s in England will be banned from buying energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster Energy – thus fulfilling one of Labour's election promises.Shops, cafes, restaurants and websites will be prohibited from selling energy drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16.Is it time to consider doing the same here?Donal O'Shea is a Consultant Endocrinologist and the HSE's National Clinical Lead for Obesity. He joins Kieran to discuss.
De Britse regering wil energiedrankjes zoals Monster Energy en Red Bull verbieden voor jongeren onder de 16 jaar. Zou dat ook in Nederland een goed idee zijn? Kinder- en jeugdarts Brita de Jong vindt van wel. Retaildeskundige Hans van Tellingen ziet er niets in: "pure betutteling." En Ronald Schaefer, plaatsvervangend rector in Nijkerk, vertelt hoe groot de rol van energiedrankjes is op school – en of een verbod daar verschil zou maken.

In 2015, the most lucrative beverage industry deal ended up happening between Monster Beverage and The Coca-Cola Company. But what doesn't get talked about enough is how that long-term strategic partnership caused another beverage giant to experience the categorical version of the movie “50 First Dates.” And that's because before Coca-Cola became the exclusive global distribution partner of Monster Energy, Anheuser-Busch was the preferred domestic distributor…in the early phase of its “beyond beer” strategic transformation. But while AB InBev could've then aggressively pursued the acquisition of Bang Energy or more recently CELSIUS, GHOST, or Alani Nu…which had all been essentially built off the back of the beer giant's distributor network, it made the head scratching decision to buy HiBall Energy in 2017. And while AB InBev discontinued the all-natural energy drinks in 2023…it sold the defunct brand IP to Tilray a handful of months later. But now with more focus being placed on HiBall, the business is growing substantially on Amazon and returning to Whole Foods Market…a retailer where brand loyalty was strong. So, it begs the question…is there some kind of categorical curse on AB InBev that I haven't heard of yet?

You're about to meet a poker player who might have the strangest pre-game routine I've ever heard of. Global Kenny (@globalkennypoker on Instagram) has some absolutely wild theories about nutrition, energy, and cognitive performance that honestly sound crazy until you see his results. This guy went from complete unknown to playing some of the biggest pots on the West Coast, and his approach to preparation is... let's just say it involves some unconventional choices that most poker pros would never consider. I was skeptical going into this conversation, but his logic actually started making sense by the end.What really caught my attention wasn't just Kenny's rapid rise through the stakes, but how he's navigating the modern poker landscape where everyone's trying to be both a player and a content creator. He's got some strong opinions about the "nit epidemic" in poker and has actually built a movement around it, but more importantly, he's figured out something that most poker influencers haven't: how to actually keep improving at poker while building a brand. We get into some fascinating territory about game selection, the West Coast scene, and why he thinks the path to higher stakes is more accessible than people realize. Plus, he drops some insights about international poker that might surprise you.CHAPTERS00:00:00 - Introduction and Global Kenny's poker background00:03:20 - The anti-knit campaign and converting poker players00:07:00 - Fasting and caffeine preparation routines00:12:00 - Meditation vs morning routine philosophy00:18:00 - Sleep tracking and optimization strategies00:22:00 - Daily poker schedule and session structure00:27:00 - Moving up stakes and bankroll building journey00:32:00 - Building a social media brand in poker00:38:00 - Biggest pots won and lost; the 50k hands00:43:00 - Biggest bluffs and table presence discussion00:47:00 - Future tournament and streaming plans00:52:00 - Education background and investment interests00:56:00 - Content creation challenges and balancing poker01:00:25 - Closing thoughts and social media shoutoutsPINNED COMMENTWhat's your Monster Energy drink of choice?

It's very likely that you've noticed “high protein claims” penetrating more diverse food and beverage categories. But what about an adjacent product strategy that's sneaking caffeine into anything and everything that's quick, easy, and accessible? So, beyond the ubiquitous availability of coffee, energy drinks, caffeinated carbonated soft drinks, and tea…you can now purchase items such as caffeinated nutritional bars, jellybeans with caffeine, coffee paste, caffeinated chocolate, caffeinated gum, mouth pouches with caffeine, coffee-flavored ice cream with caffeine, caffeinated mouth spray, and even coffee-flavored cereals with caffeine. But while there are several underlying drivers fueling the caffeinated grocery trend…examining each of them is likely unnecessary when you realize that caffeine is by far the most widely used psychoactive drug, with slightly more than 90% of U.S. adults consuming it regularly. Though, like pretty much anything seen across today's CPG industry…everything is a remix of the past. So, while startup CPG founders and Big CPG innovation teams might believe they can disrupt (or complement) the various traditional caffeinated beverage formats…this is hardly the origin point for the caffeinated grocery trend. But please don't misconstrue these statements…I'm a strong believer that if you want to create something with lasting impact within today's CPG space, it needs to be some combination of “new” yet “familiar.” Do something too closely related to the market leader and consumers won't take notice…but do something too novel and they're confused. So, as I stated earlier…successful CPG products oftentimes don't arrive out of nowhere; they're remixes that recycle and reimagine existing (or past) strategic elements. But while there will seemingly always be a new batch of innovative thinkers launching unconventional caffeine products…long-term successful adoption will only occur when novelty evolves into a perceived necessity. Yet, sometimes to create buzz, evoke curiosity, and/or resonate emotionally with consumers…novelty can offer a fresh way to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Obviously, there's an increasingly popular design theory (called chaos packaging) that takes familiar products and reimagines their containers in unconventional ways. And I want to fully acknowledge how valuable chaos packaging can be when done right…but expanding a bit, I believe that “form must follow function” when rethinking category norms strategically. Moreover, it's artistically beautiful when a format is chosen that doesn't quite meet the normal expectations but can bring in a different consumer through its ability to serve a specific need. But have you ever read something and thought, “how did society get to this insane moment?” Well…that's exactly what happened last week when I saw that Monster Energy acquired an ice cream brand. I guess energy drink brands had become jealous of their “caffeinated big brother” coffee being a beloved ice cream flavor and shifted their focus to disrupting the frozen grocery section. And before you try roasting me in the comments…I'm fully aware that the limited partnership Hilrod Holdings, not Monster Beverage Corporation, acquired Thrifty Ice Cream. But the “Hilrod” in Hilrod Holdings is formed by combining the first three letters of the first names of Monster Energy co-founders Hilton Schlosberg and Rodney Sacks. So, when (or if) can we ever expect to see a monster energy ice cream in grocery stores?
Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Kelly Osbourne: “Papa Don't Preach” Epic Records, 2002 Pitchfork Rating: 3.7In a move that can only be described as “aggressively Y2K,” Kelly Osbourne—daughter of Ozzy, wearer of neon hair, and survivor of MTV's The Osbournes—emerged from the reality-TV fog of war to drop her cover of Madonna's “Papa Don't Preach.” A bold choice, given that Madonna's version is iconic, controversial, and, crucially, good. Kelly's version? It exists.Let's be clear: this is not so much a cover as it is a hostage situation. The song has been taken, tied to a chair in a Hot Topic changing room, and forced to watch early-2000s nu-metal music videos on loop. Guitars are over-distorted. The vocals sound like they were recorded on a Motorola Razr during a family argument. The production is less “punk rebellion” and more “GarageBand preset titled ‘Mall Goth.'”Osbourne's voice, while not the worst thing to ever emerge from a celebrity lineage (looking at you, The Return of Bruno), delivers the lyrics with all the emotional depth of a mildly annoyed barista. When she pleads, “I'm keeping my baby,” it sounds less like defiance and more like someone refusing to return a damaged Forever 21 item without a receipt.That said, there's a perverse charm to it. Like a can of expired Monster Energy found under a car seat, it's a little gross, vaguely threatening, and very much a product of its time. There's even something punk in the audacity of it all—less “fight the system” and more “I dared my label to let me do this and they blinked.”Ultimately, Kelly Osbourne's “Papa Don't Preach” is the kind of cover that reminds you of how great the original was, mainly because halfway through, you'll probably stop and listen to Madonna's instead. And maybe that's the point. Or maybe it's just a vibe. A crunchy, chaotic, eyeliner-smeared vibe.Best Track: The 1986 original RIYL: Watching VH1 at 2 am, burning your ex's hoodie, riding in the backseat of a PT Cruiser.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

As our inside look into the 2025 X Games continues, we sit for a special conversation with Skateboard icon Nyjah Huston, who we first had the chance to meet a few years back on The Pivot, and although we get to sit with him again now, it feels as it's a completely new person, as his talent is still top tier, but Nyjah's energy and life perspective is on an entirely different level. As the background noise of Salt Lake City's mega ramp echoes around them, this episode gives a front-row seat to Nyjah's inner workings—his mental framework, his resilience, and how he envisions the next chapter of his legendary career. Nyjah brought a unique blend of technical insight, raw emotion, and phenomenal perspective sharing with Ryan, Channing and Fred about how life and his sport continues to evolve as he has changed as well. A few of the things we chat about: Controlling the uncontrollableNyjah opened up about the razor-thin margin between victory and failure on the street course. He shared how he trains his mindset to treat each run as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—because in competitions like this, "you get one shot." High-stakes mental focusIn his signature calm tone, he walked listeners through his mental prep before high-stress runs. Emphasizing visualization and emotional detachment, he explained how he stays in the moment: “I don't think past tricks. I just skate.” Trick evolution in real timeNyjah detailed how he and his team approach trick selection during events—balancing hype-worthy high-risk lines against guaranteed clean runs. He spoke on adapting instinctively to course flow and weather variables. Injury, recovery & longevityHaving faced setbacks recently , he revealed new rehab routines, strength protocols, and mental wellness check-ins—enhanced by his ongoing work with spiritual mentor Chervin Jafarieh. Chasing gold, redefining legacyReflecting on his fierce Olympic & X Games pedigree, Nyjah admitted he's at a crossroads—driven still by competitive hunger but also exploring the freer, street-skater version of himself. He hopes to build a legacy that balances medals with creativity and personal expression. Beyond pro skatingThe conversation also veered into life off the board—his newer ventures in fashion, music, and philanthropy. Always disciplined, he credits a humble, growth-minded support team for keeping him grounded beyond the ramp. Tap in now for this special conversation live from the X Games! It's filled with a lot of gems around personal growth, focus, commitment and competition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Behind every pixel, mechanic, and character design lies a hidden battlefield where intellectual property law shapes the games we play. From energy drinks to tattoos, the unlikely legal showdowns that define modern gaming are stranger than fiction.Play IP Sidequest Showdown. An escape-room-style game inspired by this episode. Drop a comment if you cracked the code. Monster Energy's aggressive pursuit of any game title containing the word "monster" forced Ubisoft to abandon "Gods and Monsters" despite zero connection to beverages. When NBA 2K rendered LeBron James's tattoos with perfect detail, the copyright holders demanded millions—only to have the courts rule that realistic depictions qualify as fair use. And who knew that the shattered glass texture in Resident Evil was actually a photographer's copyrighted work, leading to one of the largest copyright claims ever filed by a single artist against a game studio?The patent wars are equally fascinating. Nintendo secured a $30 million settlement from fellow Japanese developer Colopl over touch controls—yes, the way your finger moves across a screen can be proprietary. Sega claimed ownership of gacha mechanics where duplicate characters fuse to unlock abilities. And Palworld's "Pokémon with guns" approach triggered Nintendo's legal team to pursue patent infringement rather than the expected copyright route.Even legends aren't immune. Diego Maradona discovered his likeness in Pro Evolution Soccer without permission, leading to a lawsuit that transformed into a sponsorship deal. Meanwhile, Call of Duty successfully defended using Humvees in-game without a license, establishing crucial First Amendment protections for realistic depictions in interactive entertainment.These cases reveal the invisible forces shaping what makes it to our screens. Next time you're playing your favorite game, remember that behind every design decision might be a legal battle that determined not just how the game looks, but how it fundamentally works. The gaming industry's most consequential battles happen in courtrooms, not on our screens.Ready to explore more?
