The Jungle Jim's Podcast WJJI Studio

This week, we sit down with Aleah from Shroomacon! Shroomacon is a cool new product we carry at Jungle Jim's - simply put, bacon made out of mushrooms. It's crazy and delicious! If you haven't yet, jump on Hulu and check out their episode on Shark Tank! We're happy and proud to have them in the Jungle; you'll love our discussion around the inception of the product as well as their time on Shark Tank!

This week, we're joined by the LEGEND Billy Southerland - Billy is launching a new custom golf cart company right down the road from us at Jungle in Fairfield. Billy is hugely responsible for me getting to make the Jungle Jim's Podcast, and I absolutely love when he comes by the studio. Also make sure to look into his other business, Iron Road! Billy is the best. Then, returning favorites Michael and Amanda join us from our wine department to host a sampling and talk about some sweet upcoming events in our wine department. Don't forget to come try some wines with us every Wednesday for Back that Glass Up. More events are located on JungleJims.com - come hang out!

This week, we kick off with some app-exclusive deals in the Jungle Jim's app. It's now available on iOS and Android! Don't forget about our Eclipse Event on April 8th. Then we meet store manager Frank's daughter Yolanda and her husband Lamar to talk about their band Live Your Dream, as well as talk about her upcoming performances for the Cincinnati Reds! Maybe she'll even sing for us! Then, Zachariah from Urban Artifact comes over to talk about Urban's new beer, Capy Snacks, a delicious fruit punch sour, as well as their upcoming Faerie Ball/Fruit Prom, hosted by me! What a great week!

We're bringing in a ton of new Hispanic treats to our international department and our new friend Enrique is here to tell you all about the stuff he's bringing in! Then, Dr. Tara from the Well Off Podcast joins us - she came in from NJ and I had to grill her about the store and what she's doing over at iHeartMedia - check her show out at https://www.WellOffPodcast.com . Don't forget to download the Jungle Jim's app, available on iOS and Android!

Bright Light City indeed - Mark joins the Toy Department gang at ToyFest US 2024 in Las Vegas! We get to see new toys from Mindscape, Fat Brain Toys, Hitster, and so much more! We even take a little detour over to our fellow market, Omega Mart by Meow Wolf! What an awesome show - can't wait to go to a food show!!!

We're helping Matt from Liquid Death launch all their new flavors, Grave Fruit, Cherry Obituary, and Squeezed to Death. Cherry and Squeezed are my personal flavorites, but you gotta try them all! Let me know your favorites! We're also talking about the Bodybakery Co, who are making protein-forward healthy treats - they're in our natural foods freezers near so many other great foods. All that and more on the Jungle Jim's Podcast!
