Ryan Lochte: Between a Lochte and a Hard Place
from Criminality
Have you caught the Olympic fever yet? Melissa presents a medal-worthy story in keeping with the global games, and it’s full of wins, losses, and...lies! Travel back in time with us to 2016 when US Olympic swimmer, Ryan Lochte, was desperately trying to emerge from Michael Phelp’s shadow. He was close to getting gold in Rio De Janeiro but ended up being remembered for a lot more than his near victory. Ryan sets out to redeem himself the best way he knows how… reality TV appearances, of course! Grab your country’s flag and get ready to cheer “JEAH” for this story that truly has it all: games, guns, and grills!What are we watching? Rebekah gives a very lukewarm review of Netflix’s three-part series, SOPHIE: Murder in West Cork. It’s really beautiful, though, so there’s that. Melissa doesn’t need to convince Rebekah to give her latest HBO Max ( will they just sponsor us already?) show a try; The Other Two, a comedy centered around siblings who are dealing with the youngest of the three becoming YouTube famous. Lots of good actors and cameos!Rebekah provides the following clues for the next episode: UK, Wife Swap, and fraud! Any guesses?Follow us on social media!
