1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Buckle Upberry letter, subject my freaky friend and his wacky wife.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Here's Stephen Shirley. I'm still best friends with my high

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: school sweetheart. He's happily married now, and his wife and

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: I are good friends too. Here's my problem. For the

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, He's been making a lot of

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to me. I always

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: politely tell him that he needs to say those things

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: to his wife. I don't need any issues in my life,

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: so I told his wife that he was making me uncomfortable.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: This heffa said, well, you know you're his first love,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: so you should take those comments as compliments. You heard me,

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: he told She told his wife that her husband was

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: making her feel uncomfortable. The friend did so, The friend

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: said she called the wife a heffa. She said this

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: heffa said, well, you know you're his first love, so

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: you should take those comments as compliments. That's with what

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: her best friend's wife said. She said, I had to

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: do a lot of praying after talking to this woman.

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Since then, it's gotten worse. He just came out and

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: told me that he and his wife don't have sex anymore.

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I stopped the conversation and told him that he needs

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: to call one of his male friends because I could

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: not help him. We didn't talk for a few days

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: after that. And yes, yes, you hear it, Yes, we

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: didn't talk for a couple of days after that, and

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: I started to feel guilty like I had let my

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: friend down when he really needed a true friend to

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: talk to. So I called him and apologized and told

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: him that he was welcome to come to my house

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: so we could talk. This fool had the nerve to

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: ask me if I could be naked when he got there,

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: because because that would be the best way for me

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: to help him with his problems. I smoothly cussed him

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: out and told him that our friendship is over. His

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: wife has called me several times times, begging me to

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: mend our friendship. She said that her husband was only

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: joking with me. This is all too weird for me.

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: I do miss my friend, but I don't understand what's

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: happening over there with him and his wife. Maybe our

40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: friendship has run its course. What do you think? This

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: is some crazy, freaky and yes wacky too, A whole

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on at your neighbors. So okay,

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: he's crazy. His wife is crazy and you're crazy too

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: if you think you can still be friends with them. Okay,

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: your relationship with him, as you know it is over.

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: He just wants to do you right now, and that's unacceptable,

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: of course. So stop feeling guilty about not talking to

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: him and feeling like you owe him something. You know,

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: if you go a few days without talking to him,

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: feeling guilty because you don't think you're being a good

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: friend to him, you don't owe him anything. Okay, you

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: really don't. You have been a good friend to him

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: since high school. He decided to change and mess things up.

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I really don't understand why his wife isn't more angry

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: and upset about everything. She's way too cool for me.

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: So I understand why you say she's wacky and this

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: is weird. I think this friendship has run his course.

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It is time to move on.

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: You should not have to be in the middle of

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: this craziness. You really shouldn't as a friend, Steve, I

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions in this level. Okay, I'm

62
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest. I got no real way to

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,200

Speaker 1: lot of inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to me.

76
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,960

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: those things to his wife. I don't need any issues

78
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: in my life. So I told his wife, what yeah,

Speaker 1: you know you his first love, so you should take

89
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: those comments as compliments. Thus the subject of the letter

90
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: my freaky friend and his wacky wife. I had to

91
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: do a lot of prayer enough to talking to this woman.

92
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Since then, it's gotten worse. Now here's word the letter

93
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: takes it to he He just came out and told

94
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: me that he and his wife don't have sex anymore.

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: I stopped the conversation and told him that he needs

96
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: to call one of his male friends because I couldn't

97
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: help him. I don't know if I'm reading this wrong,

98
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: but if he calls you that him and his wife

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: don't have sex anymore? Right top the conversation, told her

100
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: he needed to call one of his male friends because

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I could not help him. Why would he call his

102
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: male friends to tell them him and his wife ain't

103
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: having sex no more? What is you saying about the man?

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: Is this something this letter? We don't know, because if

105
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: you're insinuating that he should call this one of his

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: male friends to get you know, some type of satisfaction.

107
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Then I must go back to the line where you

108
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: said he just came out and told me that he

109
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and his wife, Now we should that have been a

110
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: comma there? No, Steve, if you said he just came out,

111
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: should that be a comma right there? No? No, no, okay,

112
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: because I got scared in the letter of Tommy, I

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: got quiet when you read it. It's made difference. Yeah,

114
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: you need to call one of your male friends because

115
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: I can't have one her. Hell, I'm gonna call Harelful. Alright,
