​Zach and... Conor ?? That's right, no Lexi this episode. Instead Zach, Conor, and their guest, Ella Dawson, talk all about the toys of their childhoods. From huge Lego sets to weird squish toys, to things that weren't even toys at all, get ready for a nostalgic spiral into Toyland.

The MEL article, ​WHY ARE LEGOS SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE?

And to set the scene, here is us (but tiny):

Check out Conor's friend @fizzyallie on Instagram! She does personalized drawings and other exciting things!

Also, Zach's highlight: once again, check out Gleecap :)

Zach and Lexi— the ultimate deliberators of morality— scour r/AmItheAsshole for conflict and strife, deciding once and for all who is or is not The Asshole. 

The Mantra:

Zach and Lexi take us back to the temporarily divided rooms of attending conferences. Poorly styled dress clothes? Oh yeah. Boxed lunches? Of course. Fleeting, teenage love? Wouldn't be a real conference without it.

Rad or Sad Bucks are official! You can find all the nitty gritty for them by clicking on this button which insists on calling itself the "Bucks Button:"

  • Here is a Wikipedia article Zach used to understand what the hell was going on here

This week our shoutout is going to Spoon By H. They're a family-owned cafe in LA that's been hit by a lot of chargeback scams (you can read about the story here). After a GoFundMe was started to save them, they raised upwards of $70,000, but it wasn't enough to keep them in their current location. On March 4th Spoon by H founder, Yoonjin Hwang, posted an update on the GoFundMe:

"This weekend we said our final goodbyes to the Beverly Boulevard location where we’ve shared amazing memories. While the money raised was not enough to keep Spoon by H open, Yoonjin’s hope and ultimate goal is to take the funds raised to give Spoon by H a new beginning. This will take some time, as they are still in the phase of closing down and will be taking their next steps day by day."

You can still support them by following them on Instagram, and/or signing up for their newsletter to find out what their next plans are.

Zach and Lexi bring on a friend to try something a little different... It's a battle of the wits and the letters as the Rad or Sad crew see if they've retained anything from the spelling tests of days past.
