13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: teaching moment for kids. All right. Dear Stephen Shirley. My

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: girl and I have been together for three years and

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I instantly knew she was the one when I met her.

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: She cooks, watches sports with me, and she supports my

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: dream to be an entertainer. Our relationship was just perfect

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: until about eight months ago when I was on an

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: adult website browsing through amate your home videos and I

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: noticed one video with a background that looked just like

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: my bedroom. After I zoomed in, I saw that it

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: was my bedroom and it was a video of my

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: girlfriend and I getting it on. I immediately confronted her,

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: and she told me that she too wants to be

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: an entertainer dot dot an adult film star. She told

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: me that she has posted over twenty videos of our

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: best work in the bedroom. Now, I'm not a shy person,

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: but she should have at least told me first this

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: is crazy, right should I should I have covered so

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: I could have covered my face. She begged me to

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: keep participating in the videos with her, so now it's

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: something that we do often. She makes good money from

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: uploading the videos to the site, so this has become

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: a lucrative part time job for her. But I can't

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: help but think that this could come back to bite

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: me in the butt one day and keep me from

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: becoming a successful entertain Last week, I told her that

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm out of the home video business with her. Okay.

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: I told her that I want to settle down with

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: her and have a normal lifestyle. Well, she is furious

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: with me and said that she's been supporting my dream

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: for two years, but I won't support hers. So Stephen Shirley.

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: Should I support my dream and make this thing work?

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Or should I leave this madness and move on? Please help? No,

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: absolutely not. You cannot support this. This is madness. You

46
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: need to move on from this. I mean, you know

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: this isn't right. Come on, why would you want to

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: do this? And and yes, people are going to find out.

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean you're in the entertainment business, so there's some

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: leniency there, but you can never take these videos back there.

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: They're going to live on the internet forever. This is

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: your heart isn't into this. You don't want to do this,

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: this is why is this her dream? Anyway? You've been

54
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: with her for three years and it is a betrayal

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: because she didn't tell you. You have to agree to

56
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: this if you're going to have your butt out on

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the video on the internet. Come on now, this is

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: craziness right here. Uh yeah, she's wrong on every level,

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: especially because she didn't tell you. If your dream is

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: to be an entertainer, an entertainer, h this is not

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: the way to break into the business. I guarantee you

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: that some people have yes, and they've gone on to

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: do bigger and better things or whatever. But I don't

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: think you need to be a part of that. No,

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: she's wrong on every level for doing this. Should you

66
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: should you support her? I don't think you should and

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: make this thing work? No? No, should you leave this

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: madness and move on? For sure? Leave the madness. And

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: if she's mad at you for not supporting it, you're

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to leave her too, Steve bro I don't

71
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: see what the letter is full in this whole letter, man,

72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960

Speaker 1: this girl, y'all been together for three years. You instantly

00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: He looked up. Eight months ago, he on a pinto Psyche,

123
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: just going through the home video, and he noticed that

124
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: that was a bad room that looked familiar. He zoomed in,

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: and the reason looked familiar. Because it was his bad room.

126
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: But it was him and his girl in the video.

127
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh hell no, it's crazy, landing in fronted her right away. Baby, baby,

128
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: it's a video menu. I know it is. You ain't

00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: the only one. I want to be a star. I

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: over twenty videos of us doing your best work, and

133
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: it has turned out to be lucrative. We're making money now,

134
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: he said, Well, hold on, hold on, I ain't shot nothing.

135
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: But she should at least told me so I could

136
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: have covered my face. See, this can't get out about me.

137
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: But the problem, though, dog, is it is gonna get

138
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,960

139
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: She begged me to keep participating in the videos with her.

00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: So now something we do often. You just in't here,

141
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,240

00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: to the site, so this become a lucative part time

143
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: job for But I can't help but think that this

144
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,480

00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: and keep me from becoming a successful entertainer. Last week
