Ep. 64: Wasted Our Time! - Roots Picnic and Clocks

Subscribe!:    / @loversandthings  

Greg and Lex couldn't believe their ears when they heard about Red Lobster losing $11 million due to their endless shrimp promotion. Reminiscing about their own shrimp-filled adventures, they certainly had a laugh at the chain's expense. But it’s not all fun and games; they ponder some alternative promotions that might save Red Lobster from financial ruin and spill the beans on those Chili's rumors.

Reality TV takes center stage next as Lex breaks down the ethical conundrums of shows like TLC's "Doubling Down with the Derricos." It's a wholesome portrayal with a side of discomfort as the lens zooms in on the Derrico family's eldest daughter's love life. Greg and Lex chat about how all this exposure impacts the kids and why parental involvement is crucial in guiding young lives positively.

Finally, join us on our wild adventure at the Roots Picnic, filled with festival food mishaps, Cam'ron no show, and impromptu relationship advice sessions. From culinary disasters to a chaotic trip through Philadelphia that ends with a heartwarming dinner at Little Nonna's, our tales are packed with humor and spontaneity. Wrapping up, we emphasize the joy of shared experiences and the importance of punctuality.
