Hey, y'all, Sam here. Today we are sharing a very nice conversation I just had with my good friend, Rima Kres, over at Marketplace.

Her show was called This Is Uncomfortable. It's all about life and how money messes with it.

And let me tell you, friends, we shared a lot of messy stories in this conversation, from scammers to secret investments to polyamorous hierarchies.

It's great.

Enjoy.

My first bit of advice is not quite a told you so, but this was bound to get messy.

I'm Riem Reem-Greis, and welcome to This Is Uncomfortable, a show about life and how money messes with it.

This week, we're answering your questions about money and dating.

And don't worry, we're not going to do the whole who pays on the first date kind of questions.

We're going to go to some more uncomfortable and outlandish places from questions about dating a scammer to secret investments.

And by the way, if you have a sticky money situation you need advice on, you can always call

us at 347 ringTIU, or you can email us at Uncomfortable at Marketplace.org.

All right, joining me to answer your questions is one of my favorite podcasters, Sam Sanders, host of the Sam Sanders show.

Hello, Sam.

Hi, my friend. People might not know, but we go way back.

We do. Like, more than a decade at this point, right?

Yeah, we had the same fellowship many, many years ago.

Yeah, I think you did it several years before I did. And then we overlapped a little in the office at NPR. Yeah, I kind of helped show you the ropes a little bit. I know. I remember you as this like larger than life presence in the office and just like one of the go-to people for advice, honestly, which is probably why you came to mind when doing this episode because you've got the hot takes.

So many.

You have so many.

And about relationships.

Heck yeah.
