1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: All right, buckle up, hold on tight. We got it

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: for you here at ease subject. He took it out

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: at the dinner table. Dear Stephen Shirley, my friend hooked

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: me up with a great guy. And before I met him,

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: we had great conversation and he seemed to be a

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: cool guy. He sent me a picture of himself and

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: I sent him a picture too. He had a beautiful smile,

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: and I commented that he had perfect teeth. He told

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: me that he had false teeth. I asked him why

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: he chose false teeth over implant, and he said that

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: implants were too expensive. It was no biggie, so we

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: continued to get to know each other. After two weeks,

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: we went out on our first date to a very

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: nice restaurant for dinner. I was so glad to finally

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: meet him. We ordered our food and started eating, and

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the conversation was so good that I didn't realize he

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: had taken his entire top row of teeth out. He

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: saw how I was looking at him, and he said, see,

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: you can't even tell when I take my teeth out,

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: I look the same. Wait, there's more. I was at

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: a loss for words. His teeth were in a container

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: beside his plate, and he was just eating and talking

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: like all of this was okay. I had lost my appetite.

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: I know being single can be lonely, but there is

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: no way I can be seen with this bald mouth man,

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I do not have a problem at all

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: with false teeth, but you can't just take them out

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: on the first date and not let me know first

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: after the date. After the date, I called a friend

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: that set us up and told her that his teeth

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: were a deal breaker. Oh and his lack of table manners.

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: She said that I was being bushie and I have

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: to be more open minded and willing to work with

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: some men to turn them into the ideal man. I

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: beg to differ, but maybe I'm being too insensitive. Maybe

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm being insensitive. What do you think? Hey, listen, miss Bugie,

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you all day. Okay. Manners are important, hygiene

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: is important, and taking your teeth teeth out at the

39
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: dinner table, it's very unhygienic. It's unacceptable, okay. I mean,

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: it's one thing to have denters, but leave them in

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: your mouth. How about that? Take them out at home

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: at night and put them in the container and then

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: put that container on the nightstand like normal people do

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: who have dentures and false teeth. I don't agree with

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: your friend about you being bugie. It's okay to like

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: what you like and not like the fact that he

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: had dentures and took him out at the dinner table.

48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, and said, I'm an container next to a

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: plate at a very nice restaurant. You're single here, not desperate, okay,

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: and you don't have to settle no matter what your

51
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: friend says. All right, Steve, that's it for me. Well,

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: very good answer, Shirley. I agree with everything you said,

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: but let me go at it from this hill, right

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: hill went out on a date with this man. You've

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: been talking in y'all center pitch, and you told the man, boy,

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: you got you got some your teeth. Look, you got

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a beautiful smile, and you got perfect teeth. Then he

58
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: right off the dribble, told you he had false teeth.

59
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: I asked him why he chose false teeth over implants.

60
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: He said the implants was too expensive. All right, let's

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: stop this letter right here. Let's go back over because

62
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: I need some things that y'all need to see what

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I saw. He sent you a pitch of himself. You

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: said he had a beautiful smile. I commented that he

65
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: had perfect teeth. For no damn reason at all, he

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: told me he had false teeth. How old is this man? Hill?

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Where he cooled with this hill? Maybe you got some

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: perfect teeth. These ain't my teeth. These ain't mind these

Speaker 1: couple here. This ain't no too forty year olds at dinner.

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: So I asked him why he chose false teeth over implants.

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: He said the implants was too expressive. We're talking about

Speaker 1: a glass looking at me. I'm trying to figure out

155
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: is this a magic trick? Because half your mouth in

156
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: a glass looking at me? Goodness, I don't know if

157
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: you'd never been over somebody's house and they had their

158
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: denches in the glass, but it looked like the teeth

159
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: is looking at you because they are, because the teeth

160
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: don't want to be in the glass. They want to

161
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: be in the mouth because that's why they be long.

162
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Not know being single can be lonely. Yes it is, baby,

163
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,480
