  • E78 Raeed Hosny | Joe Wagner
    Sep 9 2025

    This week we sit down with a guest whose life reads like a movie script—but every bit of it is real. Raeed Hosny went from being a beloved child star in Egypt, portraying cultural icons on screen, to holding top-secret clearance and serving on some of the most high-stakes intelligence missions of the modern era.

    Raeed takes us on a wild journey—from growing up on film sets in the 60s and 70s to interrogating terrorists, locating weapons caches, and working with the CIA, DIA, and Air Force Intelligence in Iraq and the Middle East. Along the way, he shares raw stories of resilience, trust, and the razor’s edge reality of counterintelligence work—including time under the command of Col. Mark Milley before he became Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

    At the same time, Raeed’s warmth, humor, and perspective shine through. We get into aliens (of course), food, film, and a few rapid-fire questions that reveal just how multifaceted his story really is. We even throw in who he thinks should play him in the movie of his life.

    This is one of our most cinematic and unforgettable conversations yet—spanning pop culture, geopolitics, and a touch of espionage. Buckle up.

  • E77 Jim Louderback pt2 | Joe Wagner
    Sep 2 2025

    What do Pokémon cards, AI assistants, and the future of the creator economy have in common? This episode.

    We’re joined by Jim Louderback, one of the true pioneers of digital media. From his TechTV days to scaling Revision3 into a digital powerhouse and taking VidCon global, Jim has spent his career at the forefront of where media and technology collide. Now he takes us inside his must-read newsletter Inside the Creator Economy, pulling back the curtain on social media algorithms, the platforms shaping our world, and why creators haven’t just “arrived”—they’re running the show. On top of that, he breaks down the next wave of innovation, including Amazon’s new AI device The Bee (think personal assistant on steroids) and where all this tech is headed.

    And because it’s Go With Your Palate, we don’t just stick to tech—we wander into Pokémon tangents, wine wax-dipping, and even bring our social media manager Sabina into the mix.

    Fast, fun, and full of insight—this one’s a ride through the past, present, and future of media with one of the sharpest voices in the game.

  • E76 Bryan Battle & Ode Osbourne UFC! PT3 | Joe Wagner
    Aug 18 2025

    This one’s not for the faint. We sat down with Ode “The Jamaican Sensation” Osbourne and Bryan “The Butcher” Battle—two rising stars in the UFC—fresh off their visit to Napa, where they left a lasting impression on the town (and probably a few unsuspecting wine bars). Known for their explosive styles inside the cage and raw honesty outside it, these guys came ready to talk wins, losses, hustle, and what it really takes to climb the ranks of the fight world.

    From Ode’s journey from Kingston to the Octagon to Bryan’s transformation from 300+ pounds to The Ultimate Fighter champion, this episode is a no-holds-barred look at resilience, mindset, and the chaos that comes with chasing greatness. They also let us in on their next big move—a cigar brand in the works—because these two aren’t just fighters, they’re full-on entrepreneurs.

    And while we didn’t get to witness their legendary night out in downtown Napa firsthand, the stories alone made it clear—we wish we had. Add in some wine wax-dipping, a barrel racing showdown between Ode, Bryan, Joe Wagner, and Fat Mario (winner TBD 👀), and you’ve got the makings of a Go With Your Palate classic.

    Grab a glass, buckle up, and get ready for an episode full of grit, heart, and some of the wildest storytelling we’ve ever aired. This one hits different.

  • E75 Miryha Fantegrossi pt 2 | Joe Wagner
    Jul 23 2025

    This week on Go With Your Palate, we explore flavor, function, and everything in between—including a category that demands serious respect: bras. Let’s be honest—we didn’t know much about them before this episode. But thankfully, the brilliant and hilarious Miryha Fantegrossi, SVP of Merchandising & Design at Wacoal America, came ready to school us… in the best way possible.

    With over 25 years in the industry and thousands of fittings under her belt, Miryha walks us through what it really takes to create the perfect bra—yes, all 52 components of it. From fabric and fit to global sourcing and the development of Wacoal’s groundbreaking mybraFit™ digital sizing tool, she shares how innovation, empathy, and data come together to serve women of all shapes, sizes, and lifestyles.

    We dig into the journey from sketch to shelf, how real customer feedback fuels design breakthroughs, and why bras are basically NASA-level engineering meets fashion. And of course, we keep it fun: there’s talk of “breast roots,” potential wine-bra collabs, and design inspiration that doesn’t always come from Fashion Week. We also bust a few bra myths, get into pop culture moments, and reflect on what it’s like for two guys to finally learn what real support means.

    Whether you're team wired or wire-free—or just want to hear two dudes try to wrap their heads around bra science—this episode is equal parts eye-opening, laugh-inducing, and deeply inspiring. Miryha’s entrepreneurial journey and leadership in an often misunderstood category is something every innovator can learn from.
