1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you. Here.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: It is the Strawberry LETTA thank you nephew subject. Twenty

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: years later, he still wants MGP. Well, Dear Steve and Shirley.

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm a forty six year old single lady, and I

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: am ready for the next chapter in my life. In

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, I dated a man off and on

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: for a while, but finally ended things with him when

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: I found out he got another woman pregnant. I moved

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: on with my life and moved to another state. Well.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, he and I reconnected on social media.

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Since we lived far apart, we texted and called each

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: other daily. He told me he was coming to town

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: and wanted to see me. I told him to come

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: by the house since we were old friends and hadn't

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: seen each other in many years. He came over and

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: we had a great time catching up in person. He

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: later told me that he was not just visiting. He

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: had moved back to town and he wanted to see

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: me more. I had no idea that he'd be interested

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: in me now because I've been paralyzed since two thousand

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: and four, but that didn't matter to him. He asked

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: me quiet, Steve. He asked me if I could still

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: do it, would you just let me finish? Please? He

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: asked me if I could still do it? Yeah, yeah,

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: And your name is mentioned at the bottom as well.

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: He asked me if I could yeah you yes, yes,

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: he asked her if if I could still do it

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: like I used to do it. I teased him and asked,

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you know what it is? I teased him and asked,

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't you like to know? So? About a month ago,

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I showed him that I could still put it on him.

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: You see, back in the day he called me Miss

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: good P or MGP for short, and he said, I

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: still hold that title to this day. I have feelings

35
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: for him, but everything is moving so fast. We are

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: moving in together soon, and I want to be sure

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing things the right way. We dated over twenty

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: years ago, and I already gave him a sample of MGP.

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: So should I put the put the ninety day rule

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: on him when we move in together. I don't want

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: to get married. I do want to get married, so

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do things right. What do you think, Steve,

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: she put your letter in it? Okay, okay, okay, So

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: you have permission, go ahead? All right? All right? Come on, Now,

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: you dated this guy back in nineteen ninety nine. You

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: off and on. It wasn't even a regular real relationship. Really,

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: it was off and on, and then you finally ended

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: things when you found out he got another woman pregnant.

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: All right, Then this same guy twenty years later comes

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: into your life and you're ready to move in with him.

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: Why are you going to move in with this man?

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, why you gotta explain? Nothing in this letter

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: says you need to do that. Okay, he lied to

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: you about so many things, and you know he actually

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: lives in your town. Now, first he said he was

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: just visiting. Is this really the case? Or was he

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: hoping to move in with you all the time. I

58
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm going to ask you don't get

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: played by this man. He's probably telling you anything to

60
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: get in your house. Remember, now it's been twenty years

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: since you've seen him. Now you close your letter by

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: saying you're trying to do things right. Well, this isn't right.

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Nothing about this is right because you've already slept with him,

64
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: and you want to impose the ninety day rule on him.

65
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: That is so backwards and letting him move in with

66
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: you after twenty years of not seeing him and the

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: reason you broke up him with him in the first

68
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: time was with the other woman that you didn't know

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: about because of her. That's backwards too. Do not do it.

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're gonna regret it and you won't be

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: able to get him out of your house once you

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: get him in there, Steve, Please, well all, okay, I

73
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: don't know how you can skipped around all this other information,

74
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know what part you read, but

75
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm going right to where I'm stuck. Forty six year

Speaker 1: and on, but found out he got another woman pregnant.

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: When you moved on with your life, he moved to

80
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: another state. Well twenty eighteen, y'all reconnected on social media.

81
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Since we live far apart, we text and called each

82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: other daily. He told me he was coming to town.

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: He won't just see me. I told him, come on

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: by the house, or what else are you gonna do?

Speaker 1: came over and we had a great time catching up

91
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: in person. He later told me he wasn't just visited,

92
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: he had moved back to town. All that convenient. Uh

93

Speaker 1: So please don't nobody but she wrote me and put

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: in the letter. Now you didn't have to put that

108
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: in the letter, but you felt it was important. Yeah,

109
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,440

00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: now Sherley didn't dance round this hill, but she'd been paralyzed.

111
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: You didn't. I just know you. You didn't mention it.

113
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: didn't matter to him. He asked me if I could

114
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,360

Speaker 1: into it when we come back. All right, just hang on,

120

Speaker 1: we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up. We've

121
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080

Speaker 1: He asked me if I could still do it like

130
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: I used to do it. I teased him in ass,

131

146
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: know what she was doing back then, but obviously it

147
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: wasn't what I was thinking. See, I was thinking to

148
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: get to Tyler MGP that that has to be some

149

00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: edge of the bed, your knees, a lot of bouncing.

Speaker 1: if you were to consider someone that, where are anybody? Yeah?

154
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: But now I don't. I can't go too far because

155
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody that has a situation to think

156
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm making fun of him cause or not. But the

157
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: lady did right me with the p palized thing since

158
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: two thousand folk. But she thinks, Steve, so I don't

159
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: know how to heal what you're are doing in that now.

160
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on either. He had never

161
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: had no MGP before. It was the best MGP he

162
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: ever had. Maybe then we require you to do much, Steve,

163
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: she said in the letter, I showed him that I

164
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: could still put it on him. Now she said that, Yeah,

165
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: she said that, Sherley. But now that makes me question,

166
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: h what was you putting on him the MGP? Do

167
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: you think? Okay? Now, the only thing I can think

168
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: is is that inside the MGP, what it's like a

169
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: it's like once you buy a mission to an amusement, Paul.

170
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: Once you go into park, that's where the rides is that. See,

171
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. That's why you could so it

172
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: could be the most grand park. It could be set ahead.

173
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: He's sorry, sorry for interrupting you, but he need him,

174
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: he said, I still hold that title to this day.

175
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying. There must be something going on

176
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: inside the MG. Yeah. See see see maybe maybe MG

177
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: stands for Madison Garden, you know, man man, maybe the

178
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: MG is short for MGM. Where a lot of activity

179
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: going in that building. See, I'm assuming that there's a

180
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on once you get inside. The

181
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: show ain't outside. Maybe it ain't got to be nothing

182
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: going on. Maybe there, you know, a lot of I

183
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it's hands, I don't know, if it

184
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: feels I don't know what it is. It's some in there.

185
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: If he needs some help, Steve, let me help you.

186
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: You go ahead, Jake. What she wanted him to do, Lord,

187
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: what she would like for him to do is roll

188
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: up on her. Because she is not a not a

189
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: push around person. She is not handicapped in this department.

190
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, Steve roll up on me.

191
