5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: good morning, Good good morning, Stephen Shirley. I always hear

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: you talk about the women who are stupid with these dumb,

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: dumb a decisions that they make over these men. But

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: I need to talk about these dumb men who make

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: these dumb decisions when it comes to women. I have

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: a friend that's been married for eight years and separated

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: on and off for six of those years. Right now,

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: he's at the separation stage. He has a child by her,

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: and she has one of her own. His wife can

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: call him at any time in all caps, and he

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: goes running, whether it's for a child or for a

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: step whether it's for his child or for his step child.

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: She questions where he is, and he tells her. She

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: questions what time he has to work, and don't let

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: it be the night shift. He has to call her

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: from work to prove to her that he's there, not

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: to mention that every other week that he gets paid,

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: he's over there until nightfall and then asked to leave,

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: of course after stopping at the story to bring whatever.

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: But it's always something needed, not saying that he's wrong

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: for taking care of the children. They are. They have

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: not had relations in seven months. He don't stay over

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: and she don't come over his apartment, but she has

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: a key and he don't have one to her house,

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: but she when she calls, Oh, he'd better answer or

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: that's an argument right there. Please help me tell my

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: friend that the only reason why she's like this because

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: he's her security blanket and he'd better believe that she's

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: getting hers from somewhere else. About my friend, he's the sweetest,

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: to be honest, Steve. He has a lot of your qualities,

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: from opening car doors, taking off girls coat before his own,

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: to carrying all the bags from the store, picking up

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: things from the store, just to say that I'm thinking

Speaker 1: I know how you are, and no, I don't want

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: him because I'm happily married for eighteen years. We are

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: just friends, okay, dear, please help um. You know you

Speaker 1: eighteen years. But but there's something going on, because why why,

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: why are you all up in these people's business like this?

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be some point where you say, okay, enough,

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: especially when he gets to telling you, uh, you know

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: that they haven't had relations for seven months. Um, that

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: is just way too much information. Uh, you know too much.

50
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: You're you're in it too much. He's telling you too much.

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: There's got to be a point where you put a

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: stop to him or ask him what's his ulterior motive? Okay,

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: he's not with her, you don't want to get with him,

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,520
