Bourbon with Brad

Baby Jane, Big Headlines & the Christmas Tree Capital: Kevin Musser Joins the Table

Bourbon with Brad

Show Notes

Brad uncorks this week’s biggest AI stories with a pour of Baby Jane bourbon and a lineup that swings from global tech drama to hometown legacy. He breaks down Meta’s massive $17.2B settlement with 29 states over allegedly addictive platform design for kids, the wild tale of a Chinese farmer who lost 25 acres of sesame crops after trusting an AI chatbot’s herbicide advice, and Nvidia’s warning that server costs are jumping 15% — a signal of what’s coming next in the AI arms race.

Then the conversation shifts from silicon to soil as Brad and the guys welcome an Indiana County icon: Kevin Musser of Musser Nurseries. Kevin shares how the nursery began, how it helped crown Indiana County the Christmas Tree Capital of the World, how the business evolved into new crops, and what technologies (if any) Musser Nurseries uses today.

In segments four and five, Lou “Loubricity” Scerbo and Eric “Epic” Kowalski join Brad to test Kevin’s optimum Loubricity level and revisit his days as a professional motocross rider — a story you don’t want to miss.

Pour your favorite bourbon, settle in, and enjoy a blend of sharp AI insight, local history, and great company.
