  Hi Savi, hi Eldis, and of course, honored guests. Um, so, fuck, where do I begin? Um, so my fiance and I broke up about two months ago, but we still live together because I'm the one that's paying all the bills and I don't have anywhere else to go.

• 0:20Speaker 01

  So why is she there?

• 0:21Speaker 00

  And I presently can't save up the money to move out because she hasn't found a steady day job that pays the bills and it's been a shit show.

• 0:35Speaker 01

  No, you're letting her stay in your fucking house for free. That's not, it's like, you don't ask her to get a job after you've broken up. This is fucking, you're getting, taking advantage of this woman, but anyway, keep going, Eldis.

• 0:47Speaker 00

  Is, um, one of the fights we had had was about her doing cocaine because it was a problem and she-

• 0:58Stavros Halkias?

  She doesn't have money?

• 0:59Speaker 00

  I'm sorry, accusing me of stealing money from her.

• 1:01Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:02Speaker 00

  And I wasn't. I'm autistic as fuck, it's very hard for me to lie and stealing is one of the things that like makes me nauseous just thinking about.

• 1:17Speaker 01

  First of all, get better at stealing, like, rationalize that shit, like, that's a you problem, dog. It's, oh, I'm autistic, I can't steal, no, that, you're weak, that's why you can't steal, don't give the autistic community a bad name like that.

• 1:31Stavros Halkias?

  Man robbed a casino, alright?

• 1:32Speaker 01

  Makes, yes, make stealing your special interest.

• 1:35Stavros Halkias?

  Hyper fixate.

• 1:35Speaker 01

  Make theft, make cat burglary your special, start getting into different turtlenecks. That was Rain Man, Rain Man was autistic, all he did was steal. Yep, yep, yep.

• 1:45Speaker 00

  So, today at work, I found a pack of it in the center console of the car.

• 1:56Speaker 00

  And we had already had an agreement that she was gonna stop and that it wasn't gonna be around me or in the house or in the car anymore because I had gotten pulled over with some that she had forgotten about a couple of months ago when I didn't have a valid driver's license. I got pulled over with a suspended license while there were drugs that I didn't know about in the fucking car. So, um, my question is, how do I, how do I handle this? Uh, like, do I just confront her about it and go off about this? Or do I just like let it slide and secretly make my way out? I. Let what slide? Yeah.

• 2:40Speaker 00

  You're freeloadin' off and doing cocaine against your wishes?

• 2:44Speaker 01

  No, he's wondering if he should confront her about the cocaine.

• 2:47Speaker 00

  Keep it twisted.

• 2:48Speaker 01

  Like, he wants to know, this very nice gentleman, if he should work on his relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Living in his house and freeloadin' off of him. That's a hard no, my man. The hardest no of all time. Yeah, I really wanna work on my communication with someone. We're, we probably hate each other and she's a drug addict, but.

• 3:09Speaker 03

  He has made me unknowingly commit felonies, but, you know, we need to talk about it.

• 3:13Stavros Halkias?

  And clearly, we're not getting the, the reason they broke up. You know what I mean? Like, she's, you know, like, I guess it's drugs and she's probably just been a dumb bitch to him in many other ways. But yeah, dude, you're, you're completely fucked here. She's, she's taking advantage of the entire situation. You said that you, you pay all the bills so you live together? That doesn't make any fucking sense. Stop paying the bills. Yeah, fucking kick her out or leave or whatever.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  It might come to a point where she's so irrational, difficult to deal with. Like, you might just need to get another place, as shitty as that sounds like. It, cause it's so fucking difficult to get a tenant out or roommate out from like, from a bad situation. And if she's like. Putting cocaine in your car, the top priority is just separation.

• 3:59Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, you gotta get out of here, dude. This is fucking crazy.

• 4:02Speaker 01

  It is so funny when someone's like broken up for a long time and they get into like the nitty gritty of such things and like completely lose sight of the fact that they are broken up allegedly. And it's like, you're still dealing with like relationship shit on like a very, you know, granular level and you are just fucked and getting steamrolled heavy.

• 4:21Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, you guess clearly this bitch has your number. She gets to do whatever the fuck she wants. I mean, the fact that, yeah, you're, again, you live together, but you pay all the bills, doesn't make any sense. I could see it if it was a month, whatever, but it's been like three months, he said, right?

• 4:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, and like.

• 4:39Stavros Halkias?

  Two months, oh, two months.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  Also, advice, get a driver's license so you can get away from this woman.

• 4:44Stavros Halkias?

  Right, right, right. Yeah, you know, go to DMV, doesn't that sound, I don't know.

• 4:49Speaker 03

  Then he said it was suspended. He was driving with a suspended license.

• 4:53Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, well, fix it up, man. Either way, the fuck, why do you have a suspended license? But yeah, don't talk about, yeah, you don't have to, you're, the conversations are not, hey, when are you gonna get off cocaine and get a job so you can start paying half the rent? The conversation is, we're broken up, you have to leave, I don't give a fuck what you do with your time, just stop fucking my life up.

• 5:15Speaker 01

  Don't try to fix her.

• 5:16Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, that's crazy, dude. You gotta get the fuck out of there. Poor guy.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Confronted a bad roommate before and it's difficult where they're like, you know, you gotta build up to it, but you know, save, figure out what you're gonna say. Say what you gotta say, confront her, and then get away from her when you're, like, don't drag on the conversation anymore.

• 5:34Stavros Halkias?

  You need a plan to get out. Give her a date and, and be prepared to maybe leave, like JP said.

• 5:40Speaker 01

  No, not even joking, you have to care about yourself. Every part of that, like, request for advice was, hey, you know, my ex who's a drug addict, I care about her more than I care about myself. Like, you have to, like, have some agency about it. Uh, she's stealing all my money and framing me for felonies, like, you know, I don't know, do I talk to her? Like, what do I say? No, you save your money, you get a place, and you just live that good life, brother. Leave her in the rearview.

• 6:08Stavros Halkias?

  Get the fuck out of there, bro.
