Owen Hanson details life in prison and his journey from a Narco to a different kind of ice cream man
Throwbacks with Matt Leinart & Jerry FerraraAbout this episode
On part two of our conversation with Owen Hanson he discusses his time in prison candidly, including learning the law of the land the hard way. Owen also details how his business savvy and penchant for entrepreneurship led to many hustles in prison, everything from making pizzas to the product that became his business outside of prison: ice cream. Owen reveals how he stumbled upon a recipe for making ice cream with protein in mop buckets in prison, and that eventually became his life’s work once he was released from prison and started his brand California Ice Protein. Also, after the debacle that was the Cowboys and Packers Sunday Night Football tie, the guys wonder what rule changes they would make around sports if they had the power to do so. Finally, Annie Agar joins the show to answer who is the worst team in the NFL today and stump the guys with some Twisted Trivia. New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.
