In this episode of We Feed Them, Sean and Steven investigate the high-stakes world of corporate manipulation and kitchen survival. We’re breaking down the "Big Soda" conspiracy and a Super Bowl wing crisis that nearly took down the line. Plus, we launch a brand-new segment, Great Food People of History, starting with the chaotic and often misunderstood life of the man behind the white suit: Colonel Sanders.

In this "Case File":

• The Walmart, Pepsi Price Gouging Scheme: We pull back the curtain on the alleged "back door deals" between corporate giants to keep grocery prices high while squashing the competition. Is it business, or is it a crime against the consumer?

• The 40 Wing Uh OH: Sean recounts a high-pressure Super Bowl Sunday where an online ordering glitch left the kitchen 40 wings short. Hear the "Bear"-style story of the literal sprint to a rival restaurant to save a customer's party.

• The Legend of the Colonel: Long before he was a mascot, Harland Sanders was a tough-as-nails entrepreneur who once got into a literal shootout over small business competition. We explore the real history of the KFC founder.

• New Partnerships: We’re officially fueled by Dubby Energy! Check the show notes for our exclusive discount code to get "turned the f*** up" like Sean.
