00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Buckle up, Starberry letter, subject my freaky friend and his

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: wacky wife. Here Stephen Shirley. I'm still best friends with

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: my high school sweetheart. He's happily married now, and his

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: wife and I are good friends too. Here's my problem.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: For the past couple of weeks, he's been making a

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: lot of inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to me.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: I always politely tell him that he needs to say

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: those things to his wife. I don't need any issues

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: in my life, so I told his wife that he

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: was making me uncomfortable. This half said, well, you know

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: you're his first love, so you should take those comments

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: as compliments. You heard me, uh, he told she told

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: his wife that her husband was making her feel uncomfortable.

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: The friend did so, The friends said she called the

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: wife a half, and she said. This half said, well,

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: you know you're his first love, so you should take

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: those comments as compliments. That's what what her best friend's

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: wife said. She said, Um, I had to do a

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: lot of praying after talking to this woman. Since then,

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: it's gotten worse. He just came out and told me

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: that he and his wife don't have sex anymore. I

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: stopped the conversation and told him that he needs to

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: call one of his male friends because I could not

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: help him. We didn't talk for a few days after that.

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: And yes, yes, you hear it. Yes, we didn't talk

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of days after that, and I started

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: to feel guilty like I had let my friend down

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: when he really needed a true friend to talk to.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: So I called him and apologized and told him that

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: he was welcome to come to my house so we

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: could talk. This fool had the nerve to ask me

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: if I could be naked when he got there, because

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: because that would be the best way for me to

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: help him with his problems. I smoothly cussed him out

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: and told him that our friendship is over. His wife

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: has called me several times begging me to mend our friendship.

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: She said that her husband was only joking with me.

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: This is all too weird for me. I do miss

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: my friend, but I don't understand what's happening over there

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: with him and his wife. Maybe our friendship has run

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: its course. What do you think? Uh? This is some crazy,

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: freaky and yes wacky too, A whole lot of stuff

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: going on at your neighbors. Okay, he's crazy, his wife

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: is crazy and Um, you're crazy too if you think

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: you can still be friends with them. Okay. Uh, your

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: relationship with him, as you know it is over. Uh.

47
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: He just wants to do you right now and and

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: that's unacceptable of course. So stop feeling guilty about not

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: talking to him and feeling like you owe him something.

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: You know, if you go a few days without talking

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: to him, feeling guilty because you don't think you're being

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: a good friend to him, you don't have You don't

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: owe him anything. Okay, you really don't. You have been

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: a good friend to him since high school. He decided

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: to change and mess things up. I really don't understand

56
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: why his wife isn't more angry and upset about everything.

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: She's way too cool for me. So I understand why

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: you say she's wacky and this is weird. Um, I

59
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: think this friendship has run his courts. I agree with you.

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: It is time to move on. You should not have

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: to be in the middle of this craziness. You really

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: shouldn't as a friend, Steve, Um, I have a lot

63
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: of questions in this level. Okay, I'm just gonna be honest.

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: I got no real way to go with this itself.

00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to me. I've always

Speaker 1: so you should take those comments as compliments. Mhmm. Thus

91
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the subject of the letter my freaky friend and his

92
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: wacky wife. I had to do a lot of prayer

93
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: enough to talking to this woman. Since then, it's gotten worse.

94
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Now here's where the letter takes it to. He just

95
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: came out and told me that he and his wife

96
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: don't have sex anymore. I stopped the conversation that told

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: him that he needs to call one of his male

98
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: friends because I couldn't help him. I don't know if

99
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm reading this wrong, but if he calls you that

100
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: him and his wife don't have sex anymore, you stopped

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: to come say she told her he need to call

102
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: one of his male friends because I could not help him.

103
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Why would he call his male friends to tell them

104
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: him and his wife ain't having sex no more? What

105
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: did you saying about the man? Is just something this

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: letter we don't know, because if you're insinuating that he

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: should call this one of his male friends, to get,

108
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, some type of satisfaction. Then I must go

109
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: back to the line where you said he just came

110
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: out and told me that he and his wife. We

111
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: should there have been a comma down, Steve. If you

112
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: said he just came out, should that be a comma

113
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: right there? No? No, no, okay, because I got scared

114
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: in the letter of time, I got quiet when you

115
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: read it, it's made difference. You need to call one

116
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: of your male friends because I can't help. What the

117
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: hell I'm gonna call Harold Fault? Hold that thought. Come on,
