What do you get when Education Secretary Linda McMahon confuses artificial intelligence with A.1. Steak Sauce? A teachable moment—brought to you by Kraft Heinz, accidental comedy, and a serious conversation about how AI is reshaping consumer marketing.

In this episode, we dig into the viral blunder that had tech Twitter sizzling, A.1.’s surprisingly smart brand play, and how companies like Starbucks, Netflix, and Unilever are actually using AI to connect with real consumers (no bots, no bull). From CPG to streaming, from Deep Brew to deepfakes, we ask: is anyone steering the AI ship? Or are we all just marinating in buzzwords?

Featuring:

– Linda McMahon (and her saucy take on AI)

– Kraft Heinz and the A.1. brand’s A+ trolling

– Starbucks’ Deep Brew personalization engine

– Netflix’s $1B AI recommendation machine

– Why Gen Z is asking ChatGPT for shopping advice

– What consumers actually want (spoiler: it’s not robot-written shampoo ads)

Because when leaders don’t know what AI is—and brands do—we’ve officially entered the upside-down.
