Published: April 2, 2019, 5:59 p.m.

Hey there Everyone! Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. We learn a valuable lesson when I cover S2E10: Rick the Greek which aired on January 7, 1984. In this episode Rick writes a computer program to predict football scores, making bets along with his friends. But when he ends up indebted to a bookie, he steals a rare coin from his father's collection. Just knowing that Derek knew when to talk away from a bad bet and Ricky didn't listen. Rick won five bets over a five week period and got cocky. That's when you stop, Rick! Nip this addiction in the bud. He stole, his dad's three legged buffalo nickel. Isn't theft the first sign of a serious problem of gambling after losing and owing a lot of money? He's lucky it was only $100 and the bookie didn't charge interest for every day he's late with the money. First Rule of Gambling: Don’t Do It! Second Rule: Never Bet More Than You Can Afford Third Rule: Get help!

In this episode When Ricky's mother comes to visit, he manipulates her into buying a dirt bike for him after Edward decides against it. Ricky's resentment over Kate's advice on the topic also confuses the matter of her relationship with Edward.
