Speaker 1: Subject he doesn't wear anything under his clothes. Dear Stephen Shirley,
Speaker 1: My boyfriend and I have been together for three months
Speaker 1: and he lives about an hour from where I live.
Speaker 1: It's not a long distance relationship. We just live in
Speaker 1: a really big city. If we hang out on his
Speaker 1: side of town, I stay at my sister's house because
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to stay overnight at his house. And
Speaker 1: here's why dot dot dot. When I visit him, there's
Speaker 1: a certain smell in his place. I could not tell
Speaker 1: exactly where what it was, but it's like an old house.
Speaker 2: Smell or dirty clothes smell.
Speaker 1: He had the same smell whenever I saw him, so
Speaker 1: I got him some cologne.
Speaker 2: He loves it and wears it all the time. Now.
Speaker 1: We have only been intimate once, but it was at
Speaker 1: my house and I made him take a shower before
Speaker 1: we did anything.
Speaker 2: I could still smell him though.
Speaker 1: Yesterday he called and asked if he could wash a
Speaker 1: load of clothes because his.
Speaker 2: Washing machine was acting up. I told him it was fine.
Speaker 1: He came over and before he put his load of
Speaker 1: dark clothes in the washer, he took off all the
Speaker 1: clothes he wore to my house and put them in
Speaker 1: the washing machine. He didn't have on draws, a T shirt, socks,
Speaker 1: or anything under his clothes. I asked him where his
Speaker 1: undergarments were and he said he didn't wear any of that.
Speaker 1: He put on a pair of basketball shorts that he
Speaker 1: had on Saturday when I saw him. His washer is broken,
Speaker 1: so I know they were not clean. It was a
Speaker 1: total shocker, but it explains his stench. He's recycling dirty
Speaker 1: clothes and not using underwear as.
Speaker 2: A buffer to his clothes.
Speaker 1: I told him he has nasty habits, and he got
Speaker 1: upset and left. I haven't heard from him, so I
Speaker 1: put his wet clothes in a Kroger bag and sanitized
Speaker 1: my washing machine.
Speaker 2: Should I be nice? And let him pick up his clothes.
Speaker 1: Or should I be nice and open minded and try
Speaker 1: to work through this?
Speaker 2: Work through what?
Speaker 3: Work through? Work?
Speaker 1: Yeah, work through what. He's nasty and stinky. We're not
Speaker 1: working through anything. That's not what you want. No one
Speaker 1: wants a partner who isn't clean. And you were right there.
Speaker 1: You were really right. His habits are nasty. He's a
Speaker 1: grown man. He should really really know.
Speaker 2: Better than this.
Speaker 1: I although I hope you didn't crush him too badly
Speaker 1: when you told him personal hygiene is a deal breaker.
Speaker 1: It's anywhere, a deal breaker, anywhere you go. It's across
Speaker 1: the board. You can't go down to your jobs thinking,
Speaker 1: you can't go to church funky, to the doctor nowhere
Speaker 1: with other people nowhere. He probably can no longer smell
Speaker 1: the funk. I think that's the issue with him. He
Speaker 1: can't smell it because he's always like this, and he's become.
Speaker 2: Immune to it, so it doesn't even bother him.
Speaker 1: He may not even believe you, but it is all
Speaker 1: over him, his house and everywhere he goes. That's why
Speaker 1: he can't smell it, because it's everywhere. He's not only
Speaker 1: he not only got mad when you told him about himself.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was embarrassed too, so I don't think
Speaker 1: you have to worry about seeing him anymore. He did
Speaker 1: you a favor and he moved on, okay, with a stinky,
Speaker 1: smelly self.
Speaker 2: Tommy, what in the funk is going on? Scared me?
Speaker 4: What in the funk is going on? First and foremost,
Speaker 4: you need a new washing machine? What in the fulk
Speaker 4: is going on?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: The question is question is about his things, him coming
Speaker 4: to get his thing, right, Okay, I don't even know
Speaker 4: why we're trying to decide if we want to make
Speaker 4: this work or not. I think what we need to
Speaker 4: be doing. What we need to do is let him
Speaker 4: come get his things. But when he come get his things,
Speaker 4: we need to be djayling the whole time. When he
Speaker 4: walk in. You understand that we djaying shirty. So we're
Speaker 4: gonna start off as soon as he walk in. We're
Speaker 4: gonna start off like this right here, get it, keep
Speaker 4: it funking for him. You gotta keep it funking for him,
Speaker 4: You understand. With a funking cold Madanea, you got to
Speaker 4: keep it funking for as soon as he walk in,
Speaker 4: all right, keep it poking for him. Now listen when
Speaker 4: he get in the house, when he passed through. All
Speaker 4: I want you to do is mix and mix and
Speaker 4: mix and mix it and come back and hit.
Speaker 3: Him with this right here.
Speaker 2: Huh what.
Speaker 4: Put that uptown funk on it?
Speaker 2: Funky up in here, Tommy.
Speaker 3: Keep it funking for him the whole time.

Speaker 1: All right, here we go, we're gonna recap today's strawberry letter.
Speaker 2: This is a funky one right here.
Speaker 1: He doesn't wear anything under his clothes is the subject.
Speaker 1: A woman wrote it, and her boyfriend and she have
Speaker 1: been together for three months. He lives about an hour
Speaker 1: from where she lives. She doesn't really go over his house.
Speaker 1: She doesn't like the way his house smells. He smells.
Speaker 1: She brought him some cologne. Then one day's washing machine broke.
Speaker 1: He wanted to come over to her house put his
Speaker 1: clothes in her washing machine to wash them. She noticed
Speaker 1: that he didn't wear any underwear, and she said, that's
Speaker 1: a buffer. You know, underwear is a buffer between your
Speaker 1: naked body and your clothes. So that's the buffer. She
Speaker 1: thought that would keep the funk out of his clothes.
Speaker 1: She's trying to figure out why are his clothes so funky? Wise,
Speaker 1: his house so funky white, he's so funky. Well, she
Speaker 1: thinks she figured it out because he doesn't wear any
Speaker 1: underwear or anything, and he doesn't recycle. He's just recycling
Speaker 1: dirty clothes, wearing dirty clothes. And so she told him
Speaker 1: about himself. She said he has nasty habits. He didn't
Speaker 1: like it, he left. She's doing no, this is nasty right. Uh,
Speaker 1: So she wants to know should she be nice let
Speaker 1: him pick up his clothes, or should she uh be
Speaker 1: nice and open minded and try to work through this?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Tommy and I both said no, Junior, you say.
Speaker 8: What I've heard funky so many time. I think I shall,
Speaker 8: I think I smell it. This is seet me tell
Speaker 8: you something. You know, you don't really want to believe
Speaker 8: that somebody's funking, so you try to put it off
Speaker 8: on somebody else when you walk in the house, because
Speaker 8: you you know, you walk to that house and.
Speaker 3: You fried up.
Speaker 8: You said, you know, you got some small chicken refrigerator
