    Book II, Chapter XII: Thankful
    Nov 22 2024
    Welcome back to Another Week in the Books! It’s the season of gratitude, and Spike Lou and Rich are feeling extra thankful as they reflect on the people and moments that have made 2024 special. In this episode, the duo takes a moment to appreciate the support they've received from their listeners and share what they’re most grateful for this year. But that’s not all! Spike Lou’s birthday is just around the corner (November 26th!), and the guys chat about how he plans to celebrate. Plus, they dive into a recent incident involving TI and a doorman in Austin, Texas — sparking a conversation on why context is key in understanding people’s actions while acknowledging that sometimes you can just have a lame moment. There’s also plenty of talk about the power of reflection, the importance of gratitude, and what it means to be thankful for the community that’s helped build this platform. We hope you take time to enjoy the holiday with your loved ones, and be sure to wish @iamspikelou a Happy Birthday on the 26th! Let’s be great this week.

    Welcome back to Another Week in the Books!

We know that not everyone will agree with our perspectives, but it’s crucial to spark a dialogue about what’s right, where we’ve gone wrong, and how to engage in these discussions without turning them into arguments. We’d love to hear your thoughts—feel free to comment, send us a DM, or email us. Thanks for your ongoing support.
