Pushkin

I'm Maria Konekova

I'm Maria Konekova and I'm Nate Silver and our new podcast Risky Business is a show about making better decisions

We're both journalists who we light as poker players and that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show.

We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions.

Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.

And of course we'll be talking about the election too.

Listen to risky business wherever you get your podcasts.

Desiree Black decided to do something drastic.

That was the day that I had, I mean, finally worked up the courage to try and like break it off, call it quits, but definitely was not brave enough to do that

in person.

She wrote my Teresa text. It went something along the lines of,

I love you, I care about you, but I don't think that I can do this anymore.

My Teresa had been seeing Tessa on and off during her relationship with Desiree,

and now she was head over heels for this new woman, Hannah Parks.

Desiree was over it.

I think that it really weighed on me that I had to share.

So I text that and her response was definitely unexpected.
