1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Buckle up, hold hold tight heat. It's strawberry little. You're

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: doing great, man. If I could get his salary. Though,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: I could get his salary, here we go. Why don't

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: we just split it up. I like that. I like that.

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Jake alright, subject, I can't believe I did that to him. Oh,

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: dear Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty year old woman

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: and I've been divorced for four years. I'm finally ready

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: to start dating, so I agreed to let my sister

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: set me up on a blind date with her husband's friend.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: I had never been on a blind date before, and

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: I was a little nervous. When I got to the

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: restaurant and met my date, I was pleasantly surprised. This

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: man is so perfect and we have a lot in common.

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: We ate and talked and laughed for hours. After we ate,

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: he asked if I'd like to walk down by the

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: lake behind in the restaurant so we could talk some more.

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Of course I did. We were having such a great

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: time getting to know each other that we decided to

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: sit down. He sat down on the bench first and

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: patted his sigh for me to sit on his lap.

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: We were sitting there and joking, and I could not

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: stop laughing. You want a man that can make you laugh, right, Shirley.

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard, Shirley, She says, I laughed so

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: hard You're ready that I passed gas. Yes, yes, while

25
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: I was sitting on his lap. And it was so loud.

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: It was so loud. Okay, it was so loud. I

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: immediately jumped up and apologized. But I was so nervous,

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: nervous that I did it again. And oh, I will

29
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: never forget the look on his face. He stood up

30
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: and asked me if I was okay, and if I

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: needed to go to the bathroom or if I should

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: just go on home. I thanked him for a great evening,

33
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: and I excused myself. I have never been more embarrassed

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: in my life. Later that night, he sent me a

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: text that said, L M A O are you okay?

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I did not know what to text back to him.

37
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: It's been three days now and I still don't know

38
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: how to answer. This could have been the start of

39
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: something great, but I'm afraid it's over already. What do

40
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: you think? Should I text him back and see what's up?

41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: All right? Oh? M G oh M G O MG.

42
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how much I feel for you.

43
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: I know this was the most embarrassing thing ever, because

44
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: if it were me, it would be the most embarrassing

45
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: thing ever. This is embarrassing, yes it is, But guess

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: what else? This is life and stuff happened. Okay, you guys,

47
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: that happens. That stuff happens. I meant exactly that, JA

48
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: don't take it anywhere else. But stuff doesn't happen. I mean,

49
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: you guys ate too, were excited. I don't know what

50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: to tell you. Maybe you did need to go to

51
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I think I think this is a really really,

52
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: really good and very very mature man because guess what,

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: he asked you all the things that he should ask you.

54
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Do you need to go to the bathroom? Are you okay?

55
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: He even texted you afterwards to see if you were okay,

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and he said, l M A O okay. I don't

57
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: know this man right here. Because of his maturity, I

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: think he's a keeper. I think most definitely you should

59
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: call him back, tell him be real, tell him be

60
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a you. You did it, okay to me, I did it.

61
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If this is the end, I understand, But

62
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: if it's not, I'd like another chance. I promise, get

63
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: this checked out and hopefully it won't happen. Come on, man,

64
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: you have to say, first of all, first that comes

65
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: to my man, where did y'all eat? Somebody was going

66
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: to say that we need to know why was this

67
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: a soul food restaurant? Because no, I'm not the soul

68
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: food people, get gas. I didn't. I just wanted to.

69
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: And if you want to talk about a sobering moment,

70
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: right up to the laughing and choking, right when he

71
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: heard the sound everybody lives seeing it, that was nothing

72
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: to be heard. I cannot believe that this was happening.

73
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: And you're right, Shirley, he is a good guy. He

74
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: did text and asked her if she was all right.

75
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: He did ask that's cool. But when he talked to

76
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: his boys though, when he had that phone call Nerveniles,

77
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna believe what just happened to me. I'm

78
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: telling you that I've never had a woman to sit

79
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: on my lap. And first of all, women don't even

80
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: like to pass games in front of me. I would,

81
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: I would hold it so hard. I would excuse myself.

82
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: But she it happened on accident to her it just

83
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: slipped out that laughing, that laughing to him. We laugh

84
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: hard on this show, we really do, and nobody has ever.

85
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, we left way too much. We left

86
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: really hard on show. But but to hear that sound,

87
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: but she said it was loud. But here's some things

88
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: that I want to, you know, go over this letter

89
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: again and kind of down right. We were sitting there

90
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: talking and laughing. I couldn't stop laughing, surely, yeah, it

91
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: was addressing you. And she said I laughed so hard

92
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: that I passed gas. Now that's just one time, she said.

93
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: She she laughed continuously and she passed gas again while

94
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: sitting on his lap. Now, this is what we need

95
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: to talk about when we come back, because the heat

96
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:33,159

00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: So what was the line that really stuck out at you?

Speaker 1: gas and I and then I were laughing so hard.

00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: thinks it's over. She doesn't think they have a future.

149
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: She's afraid, she's asking. She texted him back and see

00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: she's scared. She doesn't know what to do. I said,

155
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: he sounds like a good man, because so many men

156
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: would have walked away. They would have. But yeah, he

157
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: texted her back the same night, asked her was she okay?

158
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: When it happened? He asked her, was she okay? Did

159
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: she need to go to the bad? I think this

160
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: is a mature man. I think he's a keeper. I

161
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: think if they can get past this, they may have

162
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: a future together. Let me just say this for the record,

163
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: just fulfillers, that we don't when you fart in front

164
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: of me, your sex appeal go away down. That you're

165
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: not I get that. But there's a thing called a

166
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: mature man who understands the body and bodily functions. Here's

167
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: the question that nobody has really had. What is that?

168
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: What was the joke that he told that that got up?

169
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: We need to hear this joke and we need to

170
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: band this joke. This joke should never be told me.

171
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Let let me hear the joke and if I'm go,

172
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: then I understand this. This is a joke. You know

173
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: how people get bands. We need to find out what

174
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: this joke is and we need to ban it. It

175
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: should never be told again. And as Junior said, what

176
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: did they eat? Because any joke that will make you

177
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,520

00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: joint staking I'm telling I go to the Apollo Theater

Speaker 1: stand up there and say, have y'all heard this? If
