Right Reasons Podcast: Survivor, Big Tips Texas, and Eat, Drink, Love
We’re three episodes into Survior, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it. This week’s episode featured a high-concept pillow fight between family members. It was great theater! Much to my surprise, though, Jacoby did not agree, so we spent the beginning of the podcast arguing about it. We also covered Survivor topics including the power of […]

The Right Reasons Podcast: The Challenge; Eat, Drink, Love; and More
After a few weeks of partying with the Amish and going deep into cable’s offerings, we went back to our roots. The Challenge’s Wes delivered the kind of soliloquy that can’t be ignored, and thus we spent 25 minutes discussing this week’s episode. Keep this video about Wes’s start-up incubator open. After that, we dived […]
