Ep. 63 - Radio Games

​Zach and Lexi pull some games out of the vault and decide whether these radio classics are rad or sad. Also in this episode Zach is drunk.

Lexi's small business highlight:

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.
