Ep 111 - Banana Wars

About this episode

Felipe Esparza and Butch Escobar blend wild childhood stories with a deep dive into the shady history of the banana industry. From getting bullied (and becoming the bully) to hustling fruit on the streets, they connect personal struggles to the rise of banana empires, corruption, and power plays that shaped entire countries—all with hilarious, unfiltered commentary.
