    David Tao returns to the show to take us inside the world of theater production and spirits (not the BOO!) kind. Following up his role as the successful CEO of Barbend.com, David has taken on two new roles he’s passionate about: producing theater in New York, and writing about spirits – primarily whiskey and bourbon. He discusses the role of a producer and gives us an inside view of the process of selecting and developing a show for the stage. He also gives tips on how to find out spirits you enjoy, and how to develop a discerning palate (and have fun while doing it).

    You can find David on Instagram @davidthomastao https://www.instagram.com/davidthomastao and on X @d-tao https://x.com/d_tao. Give him a follow. He's got great content every day.

  • Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser | 50% Facts Review

    Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser | 50% Facts Review
    2025/08/27
    From 2009 to 2020, The Biggest Loser was a phenomenon. A huge cultural moment.

    What it wasn’t, however, was a show about healthy lifestyles and healthy weight loss.

    Netflix’s Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser examines what it was like for some contestants on the show and some members of the production. The push to keep the show in the spotlight wreaked havoc on lives, relationships, and, in some cases, health. Does the documentary series exploit the contestants in a similar way to the show did?

    Josh Hajjar, who has personal experience with significant weight loss, joins in as guest cohost. You can find Josh on Instagram @amazingjrab https://www.instagram.com/amazingjrab/.

    Journey to bodybuilding | Guest: Riley Corbett

He shares the story of his journey to the stage in this episode.

  • USAPL calls out the IPF on drug testing | Guest co-host: Josh Hajar

    USAPL calls out the IPF on drug testing | Guest co-host: Josh Hajar
    2025/07/23
    The former International Powerlifting Federation affiliate representing the United States, the USAPL, took to instagram recently to criticize the integrity of its drug testing program through WADA. The post using quotes from Olympic athletes casting doubt on some actions made by the testing agency. This is significant because a disagreement over the frequency of testing through WADA caused the USAPL to lose its affiliation with the international federation (it wanted to test more frequently, among other issues).

    Bottom line, what would make the “juice” with the squeeze (and the risk) anyway?

    The keys to fitness for executives | Guest: Justin Wright
    2025/07/17
    Justin Wright is a sales executive who found himself in a position that’s all too common for executives: overweight and out of shape. Work stress, the demands of travel and entertaining, inconsistent diet, family responsibilities, etc., had taken control. He felt that he had to take it back. So, he lost 60 pounds, got jacked, and along the way, he leveraged his background in science into a system that worked for him—and would work for other executives. Justin shares some insights into the most valuable lessons he has learned.
