Transmitting from a metaphysical realm where time and space are transcended, human senses are distorted, and temperatures are subzero, the gang conduct tarot readings and discuss witchcraft, the universe, and other mind-boggling topics that can’t be fully comprehended on the terrestrial level. Edy, Mr. Cheeks and Stav impart wisdom to callers including a woman in her self-conscious about her lack of dating experience, and a man who really mishandled a hookup with his coworker.

BidMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. I'm calling on Justin Sprange, who was addicted to a few different things for a while. I'm not sure all the drugs, but definitely alcohol. Either way, cleaned up his life, moved to Costa Rica to teach people how to speak English. He'd been doing good and everything, but he'd only been down there two months and he met someone and he married them. And apparently this was a very bad idea because he didn't know her very well and she is a abusive alcoholic and a chronic cocaine addict. And every time he tries to help her to get off these things,

she makes him get back on this. Oh, wow. Well, basically, she's kicked him out of the house and told him that he's not allowed to live there anymore and that he doesn't have any money. He's lost everything. And so he's living on the street. That's what he's saying and He recently created an account to help to buy him a plane ticket

and his plane ticket would be back home here in Georgia and It's a thousand dollars for the ticket It's $1,000 for the ticket. Doesn't seem like too much. Because he wants to leave right away. My issue is, I don't know if I can trust him at all. Because one, this sounds very, very sketchy. He needs money. I can get it for him right now.

This is the first time I would be able to in a very long time. I just recently inherited the money, and he knows about it. And I'm wondering if he will use that? This is fucking incredible. This guy, actually let's finish it. I just mean it's so awesome to be like, oh my wife is making me do cocaine. Like my addict friend who's like went to go teach English. Okay, immediately gets married. His wife is really abusive and forces him to do drugs and then kicks him out. Why exactly?

I don't like, it's just like why are you listening to this guy? But let's finish and now and this all happens when he knows you have money. All of a sudden he needs it really bad. Keep going, Aldis. Sorry, it's just so funny and i think the best case scenario in this situation because i don't think if i bought him a ticket i would get it back no matter what of course not but best case scenario would be he shows back up gets his life together and just never pays me back which is terrible sucks but

his life together and just never pays me back, which is terrible. Sucks, but, or the worst case scenario is he ends up taking the money and just using it with his wife to keep continuing what they're doing. Right. I don't know. I want to be a good person here, Stav. I really do. And I also know I need to set boundaries.

I'm in therapy for this kind of thing. Like, give me some advice, baby. Please. Jesus Christ, this sucks. Eldest chime in. Anything. Goddamn, Eldest. Bye. You didn't want to move this one to the front of the line? Wait, wait, wait, wait. I also need a thousand dollars. Do you think this guy can help me out?

When did he send this in? I think we should call him. Yeah, let's give him a call. Okay, well, by the time this comes out, it'll be quite... Just be like, look man, we're covering this on a... You should text him and be like, look, we're covering this on a future episode. Do not give this guy money. Yeah, I mean...

Because this is insane. No. Definitely just either... most likely just not going to get the ticket. Right. And just stay there and be like, oh, I have $1,000 baby, like I can give you drugs. Yeah, the round number of $1,000 that he needs. Also, Eldis, look up flight to Costa Rica to Atlanta. I guarantee it's like $400. It can't be a thousand. I did it one summer for like four or $500.

That's like during summer. Round trip during summer So this is probably a two hundred fifty dollar ticket Yeah I want to know how their friends Like how does a guy who sounds like this get wrapped up with that guy Well I don't want to say my knee jerk reaction If he's in love with him You know what I mean? Like a very kind gay guy.

Why would you say that? Gay sounding guy's in love with some straight train wreck. It's a classic kind of like trashy friendship. Oh yeah, this guy who's the Costa Rican guy. The guy in Costa Rica. Yeah, he probably got himself a nice wife. You know, he does sound hot. I just imagined him as an attractive person.

I don't know why. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna go teach English in a fucking surf town known for just a bunch of young, like, beach bums going there and fucking off. Yeah, that's where, when you have a cocaine problem, you wanna go to a vacation town in South America. That's where you clean off of cocaine. Whenever I'm trying to get off cocaine, I go right to South America. That's where you clean off of cocaine. Yeah, yeah. Whenever I'm trying to get off cocaine, I go right to South America. So, I mean, that's my one. That's a possible guess. Maybe this guy's not even gay. He's just

Southern. And he could just be a really nice guy. He's clearly somebody with guilt. He already feels guilty for not giving him the thousand dollars like buddy. You're out of your mind This is yet good thing you're in you're in therapy and working on this Wait are you fucking texting him right now? Yeah I'm definitely gonna forget if I don't do it this I do it right now right now Yeah, but this is so important that I think we need to do it but yeah, I mean this is just like We know this this guy clearly has some kind of he this our caller comes from some kind of horrible

Like background where there's some kind of shitty parent that constantly asks you stuff and guilt you and he's attracted Because it's not even a family member There's no there's no other bond beyond friend just two people being friends that he feels This kind of like oh I should it's like this guy is an adult. He can get himself a plane He also fought this guy. What did he do? They save you from a burning? Yeah, that's what I'm saying Look if he saved your life Fuck this guy. What did he do? Did he save you from a burning building? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If he saved your life, maybe give him a thousand dollars and never speak to him again. But if he didn't, if he did anything short of saving your life, don't give him the money.

It's also going to easy out. No, I'm sorry. Oh, he knows about the inherited money. I mean, that's the thing, dude. This is fucking, yeah, you know the answer. And you're not helping your friend by giving him the money That's actually you're enabling him. That's a great point, too Because he's also just lying to you and he's gonna buy cocaine and yeah He's trying to get enough cocaine to be able to fuck his wife for three more weeks before she sends him away It's it's also just not even if he did come back and clean himself up, which is not gonna happen, right? It's also just not even if he did come back and clean himself up which is not gonna happen right? It's still messy like it's so weird not your fault not your problem and by the way I don't believe a single thing this guy said

Does he is any of this true? Did he go to speak to teach English? Probably not is even married Probably not like is this really this this woman forced him to do drugs. That's what happened. And he's on the street now, and he needs a thousand dollar plane ticket because he wants to go right away. Offer to buy him the plane ticket directly. See how his behavior changes. There you go.

That's when you're like, actually, like someone on the street, I'll get you some food. How about a sandwich and an apple? Fuck you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, this is crazy. You're a sweet guy. Don't do this. Do not give this guy any money.

And he's even like, I couldn't in the past, but now I can. I know, stop. He said that. It's like, dude, no. He's really sweet. He's a sweet guy. you're a good guy. I want to be my friend and I want to take advantage of him. Yeah.
