BAWLS Is Back Online

I’ve been following the story of BAWLS ever since I discovered that the parent company had filed bankruptcy and the board members ousted the CEO along with a few other people. According to BevNet which is a great site that covers all aspects of the beverage industry, Bawls is back online and is resuming operations.

The brand had been in limbo since founders Hoby Buppert and Christina Staalstrom were forced out by investors late last year. In January, the company slashed staffing levels and effectively ceased operations as investors sought a buyer for the brand.

My hope is that the Speedway just down the street from me will once again, carry the unique blue bottles with the 16oz cans of an energy drink that is in a class of its own.

Phil Hendrie Backstage Pass Worth Every Penny

Someone at work turned me on to a guy named Phil Hendrie. I had no idea who this guy was, never heard of him until my co worker told me about him. Phil Hendrie is a radio personality that has a number of years of experience under his belt. He operates the world famous, Phil Hendrie show that is carried across different AM radio affiliates across the U.S. His broadcasts both audio and video are also streamed lived on his website pending you have a backstage pass. After purchasing my backstage pass for 6 months, I decided to go back in the archives and listen to some of the shows my co-worker told me about. He wasn’t lying. They are downright hilarious and as Phil mentions during every show, people just don’t get it and they won’t get it with just one episode. I’m not going to go into detail in how the show is performed but Phil is a multiple personality genius. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard entertainment this good. It’s affordable entertainment as well. Here is a few clips thanks to YouTube featuring Phil doing his Art Bell personality.

I highly encourage you to check out his affiliates page to see if he’s on the air near you.
