1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: It's a time. Buckle up, hold on tight. This is

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: a good one. Strawberry letter. Oh boy, just the title

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: home wrecker from Hell. Hi Stephen Shirley, I really need

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: your help. I'm a married mother of three. My husband

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: and I have been together for almost twenty years. Everything

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: is fine except the fact that my husband recently had

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: an affair. He confessed and totally regrets what he has done. However,

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the low life home wrecker won't leave him alone. She

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: is stalking him in every possible way she can. She

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: also claims that she is pregnant, but from what I've heard,

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: it could be between three men. This disgrace of a

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: woman is wretched and skanky. She has two children and

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: a low paying job and struggles with her bills. Therefore,

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: she is chasing my husband for his money. I'm trying

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: to be mature and level headed, but things are going

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: to get out of hand if she doesn't back off.

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: What shall I do? Well, you know what I say.

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: You've done a lot already just by mere virtue of

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: the fact that you took your husband back after an affair.

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Uh that's big. Okay, You've done a whole lot right there.

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: Now you want things to go back the way they were, Uh,

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: back to norm and uh, you know, she might be

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 1: all those things you say, she is a low life,

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: she might be skanky, wretched and all that. But the

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that your husband was with her, okay,

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: the skanky woman. So everything is not fine in your marriage.

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: And I think your husband really needs to step up

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: here since he confessed. And uh, make sure that you

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: and your husband, you and your home, I mean, are protected.

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, if this woman is talking. You know, my

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: suggestion is a restraining order. Restraining order on this woman. Steve,

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: what was that? You're all right? Her husband and I

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: have been together for almost twenty years. Everything is fine.

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Accept the fact that my husband recently had an affail.

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I think she meant to say everything was fine until us.

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: We recently had an affair. He confessed and totally regrets

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: what he has done. That's very possible. A lot of

38
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: times when men mess up that the thought of losing

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: what really matters does make them have deep remorse and

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: deep regret. That camp that's very true statement in a

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: lot of cases. However, here we go the low life

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: home record won't leave him alone. She's talking him. She

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: also claims that she's pregnant is weird line, but from

44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: what I've heard, it could be between three men. Okay,

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: now you know the circle she running? M how do

46
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you know the circle she run in? There? Wowing? See?

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Now you know if this is a stranger across town

48
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: or do y'all all live in the same complex. Uh?

49
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: This disgrace of a woman is wretched and skanky. I

50
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: tried looking up skanky. H Uh on the computer, Monica

51
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: from Mississippi. Try to pull up skanky and see what

52
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: you come up with, and then give me the definition

53
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: of wretched so we can find out just how stink

54
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: she is. Because I'm not familiar with skanky. I'm only

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: familiar with stinky. Say, I know what stinky is another level, right,

56
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: and I just need to know what level we're talking about.

57
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: She got two children, in a low paying job and

58
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: struggles with her bills. Therefore she's chasing my husband for

59
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: his money. Oh that's what you think it is. Well,

60
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I have some other things in my head that maybe

61
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: what was going on, and when we come back, I'm

62
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what those are. I'm trying to be

63
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: mature and level headed about things, but they're gonna get

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: out of hand if she don't back off? What shall

65
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I do? Well? When I come back, I'm going to

00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: if she doesn't back off? What shall I do? It

68
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: sounds like a definitive statement to me that things gonna

69
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: get out of hand if she don't back off? What

70
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,120

00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: she said, this disgrace of a woman is wretched and skanky.

78
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: I have pulled the definition of skank off the computer

79
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: thanks to Monica from Mississippi. She uses it all the

80
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: time in describing her friends. Uh. And she'd be joking

81
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: with him, but she jokes with him. But that's what

82
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: she called it, you skanky little health and then they laugh.

83
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: According to Webster or the Dictionary own line, skanky, isn't it?

84
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: And and an adjective's descriptive. Yeah, skankier and skankiest. You
