If you are wondering if you are an a-hole for doing something, all you have to do is go to our talkback and send us a, am I the a-hole mojo if I blah, blah, blah, whatever the thing is. You guys want to hear this week's talkback? This one is from Chris He wants to know if he's an a-hole

My a-hole I was sort of seeing this girl And she told me to come to Florida And visit her And she sent me a bunch of like nudie pictures And implied we were going to have sex But then we got down there So we didn't and I kind of paid for everything So I vet mode her For $200 For stuff that she That I paid for

hey watch out don't say that word am i the a-hole uh uh chris hello hello chris what's happening mojo what's up hey so chris you're asking if you're an a-hole for venmo requesting asking her to pay you money back because you didn't get sex from her yeah yeah that makes it sound way worse than it is well i mean it kind of is what it is but okay so but here's the thing though uh was there an innocent i feel like i'm doing the the judge judy or something here right now did you guys talk about having sex or did you just take the pictures that she was taking as an assinuation you guys said we're gonna have sex when we get down there oh yeah yeah that was the whole plan and she said she said yeah we're gonna have sex oh you've had sex before yeah we like

sort of dated ish i don't know she like lives in florida um she's from michigan so why what happened that you guys didn't this time at all i don't know she she's kind of she does this sometimes she'll be like all lovey-dovey and like hardcore like in love and then um like when we to each other and then it'll like I don't know if it's the distance but then like she'll just kind of fade off and just be kind of cold

I got down there, and she was kind of cold and distant.

Do you think that she grows a conscience that she doesn't want to, like, just be hooking up with some dude from out of town?

I don't think I'm just some dude.

Yeah.

But, yeah, I don't know.

So it's interesting. So the Venmo request was for a couple hundred dollars?

Yeah, well, I was down there and pretty much paid for everything we did. And then, you know, I was kind of expecting a little something. But then we're going to be going on a cruise in January. And I was trying to see if she wanted to fly. She was in Fort Myers. Fly to Fort Myers and not Miami where the cruise goes out of because she's going to be driving from Fort Myers to Miami. I was trying to see. I was like, hey, you want me to fly to Fort Myers and then we can drive together? And then she's like, well, you're going to have to help me pay for gas and parking, which, you know, I understand. little but i'm like i think i was pretty generous when i was down there um you know paying for

everything are you paying for the cruise no no okay okay you guys are each and we'll watch what we say because obviously we're on the air but um a quick uh interesting thing here we can go around the room and see what you guys think on this one i don't uh i don't get the whole nominal fee of okay, well, I didn't get any sex from her, so I'm just going to charge her $200. But it sounds to me like you were willing to not make her because the sex was the payment?

No, it wasn't the payment. It's like, I mean, would you go down to Florida for someone you're not dating or having sex with and pay for everything?

I married her.

I'm very confused here because it sounds like did you go to visit her or did you go to have sex with her because it seems like

we'll have to go visit her but I thought it would be more physical but

I think you're a confused a**hole

wait you can't swear either oh sorry

hold on wait a second if you are friends with someone and you go and visit them I have a friend in Florida I'm friends with her I'm not paying for all her food. Right. You're also not trying to sleep with her. If you're not being romantic anymore, and I'm not saying sex, if you're not pursuing a relationship, which I feel like he's inferring that he would like to have that, why would she make him pay for everything? That doesn't seem fair.

But Chris, did you stay with her, Chris?

Yeah.

So you're not paying for a hotel room? isn't that kind of like when i stay with my girlfriends in chicago i will pay for the meals that we do going out because you gave me a free place to stay that's a fair point

if you invited somebody out to your place yeah i i agree with megan on this one uh and i agree with kp on this one but i uh i think that you got to be really careful when it comes to sex because i think people are going to turn on you right away and go oh what is she a prostitute But I don't like the idea that she's asking you to pay for parking. And I feel like she's using you. She's the angel. She's not being clear.

That's what it feels like.

I don't know why you still want to go on a cruise with her. Because he still wants to smash. But that might not happen.

We have mutual friends. There's four of us that are going on this cruise. Okay. Yeah. And then the cruise is already kind of booked before I flew down the cruise. This was like three weeks ago.

What did she do when you sent her the Venmo request for the couple hundred dollars? So she hasn't said anything at all?

Yeah, because she's not a prostitute. Well, no, it's not being a prostitute. Like, it's not because I wasn't going to let it slide, but then she's going to try to, you know, like, make a big deal about me having to pay for stuff. i'm like it's kind of you know it's not solely about like the sex but it's like um you know like i was kind of hoping that we'd be sort of romantic or something but i'm not gonna go down there and

pay for everything like we're not dating she's got a boyfriend right now or somebody in her life

that's what i'm thinking too yeah so that's all i'm like okay like i wasn't let it slide but i'm

not gonna pay for everything let's ask the listeners do we think that chris is an a-hole for sending her a Venmo request. That's what we're going to find out. That sounds good. All right, hang on. Amanda, hi, Mojo in the morning. What's up? Hello. Hi, Amanda. What are your thoughts?

So from the get-go, I was like, I do not even need to hear any more. I think he's the a-hole. I just kind of like what Megan said, unless she is like in the...

adult business i don't know if i can say the exact word on here but like unless she was specifically saying i am going to pay for this by baking cookies with you like consent can be pulled at any time so i think he's the a-hole okay all right amanda thank you sean what's up

you know he's not an a-hole he's delusional she's using him he just doesn't want to admit it

Yeah. I was going to say, he's not an a-hole. This is Am I the Sucker.

But how is she using him if she's offering her space for him to come on vacation and she is, like, paying for stuff?

Her space is there already. She's using his money. And she's going to keep pretending, like, oh, yeah, we're going to do this and that when you get here, and it's never going to happen. You're not going to have sex on the cruise either, homeboy. It's not happening. She's playing.

That's why I asked if he was paying for it.

Exactly.

Jay, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning. Am I the a-hole? Do you think that Chris is an a-hole?

Yeah, Mojo. So he's just getting played. But at the end of the day, what he needs to do, to answer the question, I think he's not on one end because he wants to recoup his money, but on the other end, he's an a-hole for saying that he's going to get something. Like, you can't. It's not guaranteed. I get it. I've lost over $10,000 doing this. Wait, you lost it how? Wait, wait, wait. Well, you know, you start going on vacations, you go on trips, and it adds up. I mean, in one year, I spent like $10,000 taking a check out, thinking that, you know, I kept getting lit on, and we'd bake cookies here and there. And then eventually, one day, it's just like, ah, I'm good. I'm done.

Okay.

So let's move on, man.

I wonder if there are more listeners that have had this happen to them where they got into a relationship with someone thinking it was a relationship, but in turn, it was not a relationship. It was them looking for somebody just to buy things for them. I think this guy, I think that the sex is sex, but I think the guy also is kind of looking like, hey, we're in a relationship. We're going to probably have sex with each other. And then you realize, I don't think this girl even wants a relationship with him. I think this girl's just doing what Megan said and just letting him stay at her place. Like, she's an Airbnb more so than a relationship. Jen, what's up?

Yes, so I have a question. Would he still have sent the Venmo request? If she would have had sex with him, would he still send the Venmo request?

No, I don't think so. I don't think so. And I mean, I could be wrong. Chris actually got disconnected from us. Maybe he'll call us back. But yeah, no, but I don't think that he would have. I think if she had sex, if she gave him something that when they went down there, it sounded to me like he probably would not have cared about how much money he spent. Yeah. What is what would that make her a prostitute?

i i would think that i don't know i'm leaning towards that he's he's the a-hole here she

really doesn't owe him anything no now like megan said she gave him she gave him a place to stay

right and um i'm losing my train of thought here if he don't worry i've been like this

for the last three and a half hours.

If they wanted to split it half and half, and no matter what they did, if he would have sent to Venmo, then no, I don't think he's the a-hole for that. But if it's only because she didn't have sex with him, then yes, I wouldn't pay you either.

This whole, she gave him a place to stay. He went down there to see her. It's not like he was going down there for a conference and needed a place to stay.

And was going to get a hotel. Yeah, like he went down there for her. Let's be fair. We're also only getting one side of the story. So we're only getting his, like, what if he went down there and she had the intentions of hooking up with him, but something happened or he was being weird or made things uncomfortable or kind of alluded to the fact that he's paying for everything, so she should give it up and made everything worse. Like, I want to know if something else happened in that situation. Maybe.

Erica. Erica doesn't like her. What's up, Erica?

I didn't say that. Wow, dang.

I'm trying to rush it. We've got a break to get to. Go ahead.

Fair enough. I agree, Megan. We're not getting the full side of the story. But I also, to Kevin's point, he didn't go down there for any other reason but to hang out with her. She kind of lured him under false pretenses. Obviously, she's not contractually obligated to give it up. But if you're sending someone news and talking about having sex with them, it's reasonable that that would be his expectation. And so he gets down there and she treats him.

him like a friend that he's approaching the relationship on the back end like a friend

and sending a venmo request i'm sorry but luring somebody into staying with you for a couple of free meals does not seem like a fair exchange that's a lot more effort for me to clean my place and pick you up from the airport and give you a place to stay and entertain you for days and yet that seems like it's more on me than it is on you for buying a few meals but he invited him

and i don't think it's like he's trying to get retribution i'm just getting i just get the sense that he's like well if we're not going to be in a situationship at the very least then like why am i continuing to pay for things and let's just be friends you know can i say this if that's the vibe you're giving me then i'm just going to treat you like a friend in which case it's 50 50 i do think

this is something smart to do i don't think people do it if you are the person inviting that guy to come down or you are that guy i think you should have a conversation beforehand and say and a lot of people don't because they think oh i will i don't know organically get them to have sex with i i think you should say hey by the way i just want you to know you're coming to stay with me i ain't giving up the cookie you know what i mean and and i think if you're the guy you should say hey i'm assuming if we're going to go down there we're where what are our sleeping arrangements are we going to stay in the same room what you know stuff like that i mean i think it was fair

of him to assume because she was sending him news and and like suggestive messages so i don't think She was, like, completely out of, like, you know, he wasn't in outer space, you know? He was taking what she was saying literally, and he's entitled to change her mind. That's fine, you know? But, you know, he's entitled to feel some type of way about it, too.

Wait, okay, I got to grab one last call, and then I have to break. Charlie, Charlie, you've got to tell the story fast, okay? What happened, Charlie?

uh well realistically uh i was uh in the same same situation as uh this this man here um uh it pretty much went down as uh she played as we were you know trying to do a relationship and everything like that and then um uh you know i was buying her stuff uh we got tell everybody

Tell me what you were buying her.

I bought her a Gucci purse, a Gucci necklace, bought her a premium.
