    Robert was a very different guest. He never answered the questions. It was hard to believe story, he seem like his ego was still running rampant. Fantastic podcast

  • Great conversations

    Discussions about gambling addictions and tendencies of people on the wrong path. I have some addictive behaviors involving social online gaming, but recognize before they become a life issue. I’ve never been in debt or had to borrow money. I still feel this show has had a beneficial effect on me. Every gambler or family member should listen. I am through 50 episodes and catching up quickly. Much respect on your return. Good work Spank!
