Speaker 1: Nephew coming up all right here, we go the Strawberry letter.

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Subject is we need Daddy to act his age. We

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: need Daddy to act his age. Let's see what this

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: one is all about, all right, Dear Stephen Shirley. I

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with my daddy. He's not

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: sick or anything, but in these times of COVID nineteen,

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: cancer and heart disease, I worry about his health all

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: the time. My daddy is eighty seven years old, and

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: he loves to keep a house full of his friends

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: and enjoy life every day. His house is like the

30
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: senior Center for men, and they talk about women constantly,

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: played cards, listen to music, watch movies, and entertain elderly women.

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: My dad isn't worried about COVID nineteen because he feels

33
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: he's fine. He feels like he's fine as long as

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: he's in his home. I went by one day and

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I talked with the old men about social distancing, but

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: they didn't pay me any mine. My nephew runs errands

37
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: for my dad and he makes sure he has food

38
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: in the house. He called me last week and said

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: my dad was complaining of chess pains and he was weak.

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: I told him i'd meet them at the hospital. I

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: was so scared and feared the worst. When I got

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: to the hospital, they had run all kinds of tests

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: and ruled out any heart problems, and his COVID test

44
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: was negative. The doctor asked my dad if he had

45
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: done anything unusual the night before, and my dad said

46
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: that his much younger girlfriend spent the night with him

47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: and they had sex in the bathtub. He said he

48
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: took a male enhancement pill before he got in the tub.

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: The doctor said that the pill elevated my dad's heart great,

50
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and he didn't mix well, and it didn't mix well

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: with his other medications. He suggested that my dad limited

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: his company to once a week and keep sex nice

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: and simple. On our way home, my dad kept saying,

54
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: we can't run his life, and the doctor and the

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: doctor don't know nothing. My mom died fifteen years ago,

56
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the best I can with him. But

57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: he's acting like a teenager. How can we get my

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: dad to act his age? Well, I mean, quite frankly,

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you can't. You cannot, You can't. Your dad is a

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: grown man. You said it in your letter, a grown

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: man of eighty seven. So far he's healthy. What can

62
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: you tell him. At this point, he's not going to listen.

63
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: He didn't even listen to the doctor. Your dad is

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: living his life his way, and he's loving it. He's

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: got a young girlfriend, he's got friends. All of that.

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: His friends aren't even listening to you, guys. All you

67
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: can do is do what you're doing, you know, to

68
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: stay ready for whatever. You have to stay ready for whatever,

69
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: like you were. You know, I'll meet you guys at

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the hospital. It's unfortunate that your dad is not listening

71
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to the doctor. I hope that at least he took

72
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: his advice about the male enhanssment enhancement drugs and not

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: mix it with medications, but he's probably not going to

74
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: listen to that as well. You know, I'm sorry that

75
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: your dad and all of these people are putting themselves

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: at risk. So far, so good, but you never know.

77
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, his COVID test came up negative. So you

78
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: know what can you tell him? You just have to

79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: love your dad for who he is. Love him from afar,

80
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: be there, like I said, when he needs you, stay

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: ready all of that, because at this point you can't

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: tell him anything. He's eighty seven, Steve, I need my

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: damn daddy to act his age. They ain't a damn

84
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: saying wrong with your daddy. I'm standing up in my

85
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: chair clapping for your damn daddy eighty seven years old,

86
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: and this is the letter you wrote. Thank you Jesus

87
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: eighty seven. Now, how old is your father? Let me

88
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: help you understand something, young lady. If you are considered old,

89
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: and when you flip the numbers of your age and

90
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: it's still old ass number, your ass is old. See

91
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: and it's six. See if you're sixty six and you flipping,

92
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: you're still old. If you're seventy six and you're flipping

93
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: and it's sixty seven, you're still old. Your daddy is

94
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: eighty seven. If you flip that number, his ass is

95
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: seventy eight. That's the key to note that your ass

96
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: really is old. Now to let you know that you

97
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: really young is if you flip your number and all

98
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden is old. Your ao ass is young.

99
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: See thirteen, and you flip it in this thirty one.

100
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: If the number makes you older, you're younger. That's the

101
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: trick to this thing. Man, Let your man live his life.

102
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, can I tell you something about

103
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: this letter before we come back. This letter is actually

104
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: the letter that I'm playing it on writing in my

105
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: future when you get that. Hey, hell all right, hold

106
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: hold that thoughts. We'll have part two. We'll have part

00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: two Exte's response coming up at twenty three minutes after

108
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: the hour. We need Daddy to act his age. We'll

00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: get back into it right after this. You're listening Stry

Speaker 1: is so elevated with joy right now. This letter is

Speaker 1: a letter that I want to be writing when I'm

Speaker 1: eighty seven years old. This woman is upset with her daddy.

116
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: He ain't sick or nothing, but in these COVID times
