14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: is he doing in that badroom all day? Dear Stephen Shirley,

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty seven year old man and my best

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: friend is causing issues at my job. I recently got

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: him a job with me after he was fired from

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: his last job because of COVID nineteen. It was going

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: really good until my coworkers began asking me it's something

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: wrong with him because he disappears a lot during his

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: work shift. I kept an eye out for him and

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: noticed that two times during a shift I couldn't find

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: him for about thirty minutes. We work in a very

24
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: big retail department store, so it's easy not to see

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: someone for a while, but I thought it was weird.

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Then one day, a guy we worked with came up

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: to me and said, while he was in the bathroom,

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: he heard moaning and groaning coming from the stall next

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: to him. He said he could not tell if the

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: person was straining to use it or if someone was

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: in there having sex. He said, a few minutes later,

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: my friend walked out of the bathroom and he was

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: sweating through his ace mask and his shirt. Long story,

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: shut up, Tommy. Long story short. My best friend has

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: been using time at work to take care of himself

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: in quotes in the men's room, and I saw it

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: for myself one day when I followed him into the

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: men's room, I sat in the stall next to him,

39
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: and his headphones were up real high, and I heard

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: the porn sounds and other sounds that let me know

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: what he was doing. He dates a lot of different women,

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure why he's doing this at work.

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Our co workers are joking about him and taking bets

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: on how long he will disappear each shift. I don't

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: want him to get fired if management finds out, and

46
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that this will all fall on me. How

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: do I talk to him about this? Man to man, Well,

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: you just got to go to him and talk to him.

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: You gotta tell him, and you gotta tell him today.

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone knows what he's doing. You said they're

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: taking bets and all of that on how long he's

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: going to be out. Well, you gotta let your co

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: workers know that you told him and that whatever he

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: does has nothing to do with you. He must be

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: a sex addict or something, because it sounds like he

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: can't control himself. I mean, you're doing this at work.

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: I do not like the fact that he does it

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: at work, and at the job you helped him get.

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: You could be in jeopardy of losing your job because

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: your friends can't keep his hands off of himself. You know,

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: because hey, you hired him. You hired him, you had

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: us hire him. What's going on anyway? You could be

63
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: in jeopardy. They could look at you. It's crazy. I mean,

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: this has happened. He's not bothering anyone else at the job,

65
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: just himself. He's even loud with it, so they figured

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: out what he's been doing. I mean, so again I say,

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: please tell him a SAP as soon as possible so

68
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: you can get this off you. You don't want them

69
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: looking at you crazy. You don't want them following you

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: in the bathroom checking out what you're doing any of that,

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, because right now you're guilty by association and

72
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to lose your job. You just don't

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: want to do it. So now you know it wasn't

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: just COVID nineteen why he lost the other job. I'm

75
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: sure it was something else based on this letter, Steve Well,

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: I think I should start by saying I really don't

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: care about this letter, and I have no desire to

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: help you all him in any way. To start with,

79
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Let's just I'm just being honest. I mean, really, this

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: is not I mean, you know, I don't even see

81
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: why you wrote us or really, doll it ain't none

82
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: our business. It's not that die of a situation to me.

83
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. Now, how much time do

84
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: I have, Shirley about how many minutes I got? I

85
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, about a couple. I got about two minutes.

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: So let me just briefly go through this, and then

87
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: when I come back, I have a surprise for you.

88
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna decide I'm gonna do this letter different way.

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: You got a best friend that you helped him get

90
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: this job because he got fired from his last job

91
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: cause of COVID. Just say that centis to yourself. I

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: got fired from my last job cause of COVID. What

93
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: how that help? Are you saying to me that you

94
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: had COVID and the job fired you because you brought

95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: COVID to the job because that's illegal to do. So

96
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: what you're telling me is that he didn't lie to

97
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: you about why he lost the job. Exactly, you get

98
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: laid off doing COVID, you get furloughed doing COVID, your

99
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: company clothes is doing COVID, but you don't get fired

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: doing COVID. They can't fire you because it's a global pandemic. Okay,

101
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: so we all know, like Shirley got around to say,

102
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: he got fired for the same reason, he gonna get

103
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: fired from this damn job he got because he can't

104
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: keep his hands off his damn self. He's so damn sexy,

105
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: he irresistible self. So when I come back, this is

106
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna be me and Tommy gonna do a reenactment. Tommy

107
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: trying to talk to me, okay about this problem all

108
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: vice verses or Tommy gonna be the man with the

109
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: problem and I'm gonna be asking him some questions. All right,

110
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up in

111
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: twenty three. After the other friend, what is he doing

112
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: in the bathroom all day? As the subject right after this?

113
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap. You

114
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: have a special reenactment you're going to do. So first

115
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: of all, let me just tell you what the letters

116
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: about y'all doing in that bathroom? All? What's he doing

117
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: at bath this Steven show, I got twenty ten year

118
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: old man, my best friend, causing issues down in my job.

119
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: I recently got him a job with me after he

120
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: was fired from his last job because of COVID nineteen.

121
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: It was going really good until my coworkers began asking

122
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: me if something is wrong with him because he disappears

123
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot doing his work shift. I kept out for

124
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: him and noticed that two times doing the shift, I

125
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: couldn't find him for thirty minutes. Now, we worked in

126
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: a very big retail department store, so it's easy to

127
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: not see someone for a while, but I thought it

128
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: was weird. Then one day a guy we worked we

129
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: came up to me and said while he was in

130
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the bathroom that he heard some moaning and groaning coming

131
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: from the stall next to him. He said he could

132
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: not tell if the person, why did my phone do that?

133
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Here would go? He said that he could not tell

134
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: if the person was straining to use it or if

135
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: someone was in that have his sex. Well, then he said,

136
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: in a few minutes later, my friend walked out to

137
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: bathroom and he was sweating through his face mask and

138
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: his shirt. Or a long story short, my best friend

139
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: has been used in time at work to take care

140
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: of himself in the mere's room, and I saw it

141
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: for myself one day when I followed him into the

142
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: mill's room. I sat in the stall next to him,

143
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and his headphones was up real high and I heard

144
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: the porn sounds and other sounds that let me know

145
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: what he was doing. That he date a lot of

146
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: different women, so I'm not sure why he's doing this

147
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: at work. Our co workers are joking about him, taking

148
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: bets on how long he'll disappeared each shield. I don't

149
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: want him to get fired if management finds out. I'm

150
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: afraid this will all fall on me. How do I

151
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: talk to him about this? Man to man? Well, like

152
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: I said, dog, don't, I can't help you. Man to man,

153
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do this, and I really

154
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: don't care about this letter. So what I've decided to
