Ep. 36 - Zero Interest Loans
Adam explains how his drug of choice was Venmo. Kristina, also known as "Deenz," joins the pod as someone negatively affected by an addict. Unfortunately, that addict was Adam. Having only known "Ad," as the fun and funny co-worker and friend who always made her laugh, she was excited to visit him and re-connect in Vegas in 2017. Little did she know, that for the next few years she would be lied to, manipulated, and made an enabler for Adam's chaotic obsession with gambling.
