00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: Here is the Strawbaby letter, subject, my feet looked better

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: than hers. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty year

17
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: old man and I've been dating a new girl for

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: about three months. Intimacy came after we had known each

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: other for at least a month. I would sleep over

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: at her house or she'd stay at mine. One evening

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: in late March. We were watching the news and heard

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: about the mandatory stay at home order. We decided that

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: she would stay at my house for a while until

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: things got back to normal. She brought comfrey, clothes and

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: a few of her personal items to my house. We

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: got lots of food and snacks and settled in. The

27
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: longer she stayed with me, the more comfortable she got.

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: That's when I realized that I had never seen her

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: without socks on. I finally saw her feet, and oh

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: my god, her feet and toes are wrecked. Her toenails

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: are thick and long, and she's got crusty corns and

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: most of her her toes. Her toenail polishes chipped off,

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: and her heels are cracked and ashy. It looks like

34
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: she used to play a lot of football, or maybe

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: she walked barefoot in most of her life. I've been

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: keeping the air conditioner on continuously because I know she

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: hates for her feet to be cold, and she has

38
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: to wear fluffy socks to keep her feet warm and covered.

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: These toes might be a deal breaker for me. I

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: begged my sister to talk to her, and my sister

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: said that she will invite her to get a pedicure

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: soon so she can see how to take care of

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: her feet. But in the meantime, I'm stuck with this

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: great woman that has feet like a vulture. I'm finding

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: it hard to be intimate with her. Can you offer

46
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: any suggestions. I don't want to hurt her feelings, please help. Wow.

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Well typical man. I mean, men are visual. It's a

48
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: lot about what they see and how you look, and

49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: how you take care of yourself and things like that.

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: That's just how you know men are built. They're visual,

51
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: they just are. And if you saw the movie Boomerang

52
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: with Eddie Murphy back in the day, you know that

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: no matter how fine you are from head to ankle,

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: tho's feet have to look good. Layla Bashan was beautiful

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: in the movie, she really was. But when Eddie pulled

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: back the covers and saw her, yes, Graham, yeah, remember

57
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: how his face cranched. His face was all twisted up

58
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: after that. You know, I think both men and women

59
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: of course should take care of their feet. And I mean,

60
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're just so many options these days. I mean,

61
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: so many nail salons, so many things to do. I know,

62
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: we're in quarantine right now, and the nail salons are closed.

63
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I know that. But if you can't go, you still

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: have to take care of yourself. You still have to

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: find a way to do it. Okay, every woman knows

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: how to polish their nails right, clip your toe nails,

67
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: things like that, you know, make your your feet soft

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: and everything. You know, put some motion on and put

69
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: some socks on them, things like that. You know, we

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: have to make ourselves look as nice as we can

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: during this time. I mean, I don't think there's really

72
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: an excuse right now just because you can't get to

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: the nail salon. It's called good grooming, it's called good hygiene.

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate you for not wanting to hurt

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: her feelings, but I think you should be the one

76
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: to tell her nicely yourself. I don't think you should

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: leave this up to your sister, because it looks like

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: you guys are going to be together for a while.

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: You says she's a great woman. You says she's a

80
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: great woman. Just you know, she just needs to take

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: better care of her feet. At least you gotta tell her.

82
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 1: You gotta tell her this. When this is all over.

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, you guys are gonna have a spa there

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: or something. Go to the nail salon and get your

85
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: feet done. Get a manny patty. That's the least you

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: could do for this woman. You say, that's you know,

87
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: a great woman, Steve, that ain't what to see? Is

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: that is not what to see the description in this

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: it's not many petty curable. I've been dating this new

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: girl three months. One even slept at the house. She

91
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: sleep at yours. We was watching the news, heard about

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: to stay at home. We decided she would stay at

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: my house for a while. Two things got back normal.

94
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: She bought some comfy clothes, few personal items. Y'all loaded

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: up on food and snacks. Long as she stayed, the

96
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: more comfortable she got. That's when I realized I had

97
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: never seen her without sucks. See this letter is building up.

98
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: That's how I know we have a problem here. Most

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: men just get right to it. This is a build up.

100
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: You don't know what's going on. Then I realized I

101
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: ain't never seen it without socks. I finally saw her

102
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: feet and old, my god, her feet and toes are wrecked.

103
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: Her toenails are thick. See she got that from her daddy.

104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: When you have to nails you get that from an

105
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: old black man. She got old black man told, and

106
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: they've told that they thick and long. That means the

107
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: nail clip don't open up wide enough to cut them.

108
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: They have to be filed down. She got crusty corns

109
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: on most of her toes because if she tried to

110
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: file her feet, then toe nails cuts her own hands.

111
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, man, her nail polishes chip. We got problems

112

00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: her damn foot out the door, slam on bricks. Heels

Speaker 1: That's soccer, boy, And she walked bare footing most of

137

Speaker 1: her life. I've been keeping the air condition her own

138
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: constantly because I know she hated for her feet to

139

Speaker 1: be cold, and she gotta wear fluffy socks to keep

140

00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: kept his studio at fifty eight degrees. When I used

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: to do to show all the camera mell have on

149
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: she could know how to take care of feet. But

150
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I'm stuck with this great woman keyword

151
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: great woman. She got feet like a vulge. We got

152
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,920

153
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: Everybody ain't pretty, but that's what I won't. So I
