9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: took it out at the dinner table. Dear Stephen Shirley,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: my friend hooked me up with a great guy. And

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: before I met him, we had great conversation and he

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: seemed to be a cool guy. He sent me a

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: picture of himself and I sent him a picture too.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: He had a beautiful smile, and I commented that he

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: had perfect teeth. He told me that he had false teeth.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: I asked him why he chose false teeth over implant,

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: and he said that implants were too expensive. It was

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: no big so we continue to get to know each other.

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: After two weeks, we went out on our first date

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: to a very nice restaurant for dinner. I was so

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: glad to finally meet him. We ordered our food and

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: started eating, and the conversation was so good that I

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: didn't realize he had taken his entire top row of

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: teeth out. He saw how I was looking at him,

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: and he said, see, you can't even tell when I

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: take my teeth out. I looked the same. Wait, there's more.

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: I was at a loss for words. His teeth were

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: in a container beside his plate, and he was just

29
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: eating and talking like all of this was okay. I

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: had lost my appetite. I know being single can be lonely,

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: but there is no way I can be seen with

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: this bald mouth man. Stephen Shirley. I do not have

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: a problem at all with false teeth, but you can't

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: just take them out on the first date and not

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: let me know first after the date. After the date,

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I call the friend that set us up and told

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: her that his teeth were a deal breaker, oh and

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: his lack of table manners. She said that I was

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: being bugie and I have to be more open minded

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: and willing to work with some men to turn them

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: into the ideal man. I beg to differ, but maybe

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm being too insensitive. Maybe I'm being insensitive. What do

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: you think. Hey, listen, miss Bugie. I'm with you all day. Okay.

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Manners are important, hygiene is important, and taking your teeth

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: teeth out at the dinner table, it's very unhygienic. It's unacceptable, okay.

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing to have dentures, but leave

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: them in your mouth. How about that? Take them out

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: at home at night and put them in the container,

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: and then put that container on the nightstand like normal

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: people do who have dentures and false teeth. I don't

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: agree with your friend about you being bushie. It's okay

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: to like what you like and not like the fact

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: that he had dentures and took him out at the

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: dinner table that's ridiculous, and sat him in a container

55
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: next to a plate at a very nice restaurant. You're

56
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: single here, not desperate, okay, and you don't have to

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: settle no matter what your friend says. All right, Steve,

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: that's it for me. Well, very good answer, Shirley. I

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: agree with everything you said, but let me go at

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: it from this hill, right hill, went out on a

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: date with this man. You've been talking in y'all center

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: pitch and you told a man boy you got you

63
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: got some your teeth. Look, you got a beautiful smile,

64
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and you got perfect teeth. Then he right off the dribble,

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: told you he had false teeth. I asked him why

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: he chose false teeth over implants. He said the implants

67
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: was too expensive. All right, let's stop this letter right here.

68
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Let's go back over because I need some things that

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: y'all need to see what I saw. Okay, he sent

70
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: you a pitch of himself. You said he had a

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: beautiful smile. I commented that he had perfect teeth. For

72
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: no damn reason at all, he told me he had

73
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: false teeth. How old is this man hill? Where he

74
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: cooled with this hill? Maybe you got some perfect teeth.

75
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: These ain't my teeth. These ain't mine. The false teeth

76
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: so already, No, we're talking about an older couple here.

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: This ain't no too forty year olds at dinner. So

78
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I asked him why he chose false teeth over implants.

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: He said the implants was too expressive. We're talking about

80
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: a cheap ass man here. Now, there's a lot of

81
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: things you could save money on. Your damned teeth ain't

82
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: one of them. Spend some money on your damn mouth, now,

83
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: if you want to go to Walmart and get you them,

84
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: ain't tops where when you put it on, the armhole

85
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: be down to your belt. That's cool. I've often wondered

86
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: where doing people get them tops from them? Is Walmart

87
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: tank tops. So I don't care how big your ass is.

88
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: You can put this tank top on. It's gonna thick. Yeah,

89
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that ain't the Nike tank top. That's the Walmart tank top.

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: That armhole, I don't care how what size you are.

91
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: This tank top fill. That's where you save money at.

92
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: You want to go to the grocery store and you

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: don't want to buy del mighty green beans. I got

Speaker 1: you buy j neic green beans. They still green beans.

00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: green beans. I got that. You don't save money on

97
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: your damned teeth. So y'all got to know each other.

98
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,160

00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: what I want everybody to do is, at one point today,

156
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: take your top limp and cover your front teeth with it. Now,

157
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: put something up your mouth and keep chewing, but keep

158
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: your top lift covering them teeth. Choke your ass to death.

159
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: You find to be swallowing food so whole this man's

160
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: digestive track is shot because he ain't chewing up nothing.

161
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: He's just swallowing food. Now I take I look to say,

162
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: I was at a loss for words. His teeth was

163
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: in a container beside his plate, and he was just

164
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: eating and talking like everything was okay. I can't talk

165
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: to you, and half your damn mouth is in a

166
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: glass looking at me, because I'm trying to figure out

167
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: is this a magic trick? Because h half your mouth

168
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: in a glass looking at me? Goodness, I don't know

169
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: if you'd never been over somebody's house and they had

170
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: their benches in the glass, but it looked like the

171
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: teeth is looking at you because they are, because the

172
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: teeth don't want to be in the glass. They want

173
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: to be in the mouth, because that's why they be long.

174
