9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: he still wants MGP. Well, Dear Steve and Shirley. I'm

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: a forty six year old single lady and I am

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: ready for the next chapter in my life. In nineteen

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: ninety nine, I dated a man off and on for

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: a while, but finally ended things with him when I

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: found out he got another woman pregnant. I moved on

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: with my life and moved to another state. Well. In

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, he and I reconnected on social media. Since

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: we live far apart, we texted and called each other daily.

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: He told me he was coming to town and wanted

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: to see me. I told him to come by the

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: house since we were old friends and hadn't seen each

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: other in many years. He came over and we had

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: a great time catching up in person. He later told

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: me that he was not just visiting. He had moved

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: back to town and he wanted to see me more.

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: I had no idea that he'd be interested in me

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: now because I've been paralyzed since two thousand and four,

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: but that didn't matter to him. He asked me be quiet, Steve.

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: He asked me, if I could still do it, would

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: you would just let me finish? Please? He asked me

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: if I could still do it? Yeah, and your name

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: is mentioned at the bottom as well. He asked me

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: if I could yeah you yes, yes, He asked her

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: if I could still do it like I used to

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: do it. I teased him and asked, you know what

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: it is? I teased him and asked, wouldn't you like

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: to know? So? About a month ago, I showed him

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: that I could still put it on him. You see,

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: back in the day he called me Miss good P

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: or MGP for short, and he said I still hold

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: that title to this day. I have feelings for him,

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: but everything is moving so fast. We are moving in

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: together soon, and I want to be sure I'm doing

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: things the right way. We dated over twenty years ago,

44
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: and I already gave him a sample of MGP. So

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: should I put the put the ninety day rule on

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: him when we move in together. I don't want to

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: get married. I do want to get married, so I'm

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: trying to do things right. What do you think, Steve?

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: She put your letter in. Okay, so you have permission?

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Come on, Now, you dated this

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: guy back in nineteen ninety nine. You off and on.

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a regular real relation ship. Really, it

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: was off and on, and then you finally ended things

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: when you found out he got another woman pregnant. All right,

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Then this same guy twenty years later comes into your

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: life and you're ready to move in with him. Why

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: are you going to move in with this man? I mean,

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: why you gotta explain this. Nothing in this letter says

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: you need to do that. Okay. He lied to you

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: about so many things, and you know he actually lives

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: in your town. Now, first he said he was just visiting.

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Is this really the case? Or was he hoping to

63
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: move in with you all the time. I just you know,

64
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you don't get played by this man.

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: He's probably telling you anything to get in your house.

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: Remember now, it's been twenty years since you've seen him.

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Now you close your letter by saying you're trying to

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: do things right. Nothing about this is right because you've

69
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: already slept with him, and you want to impose the

70
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: ninety A rule on him. That is so backwards. Steve, Please,

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: we're all okay. I don't know how you can stitch

72
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: around all this other information. I don't know what part

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you read, but I'm going right to where I'm stuck.

74
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: Forty six year old single lady, uh ready to move

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: on day to the man, off and on in nineteen

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: ninety nine, but off and on, but found out he

77
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: got another woman pregnant. When you moved on with your

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: life team moved to another state. Well, twenty eighteen, y'all

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: text and called each other daily. He told me he

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: was coming to town and wanted to see me. I

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: told him, come on by the house, or what else

83
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,159

00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: but don't go crazy. Okay, I'm trying to come shoot.

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I tell you when to come. What else?

87
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: We all friends and they ain't seen each other many years.

88
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: He came over and we had a great time catching

89
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: up in person. He later told me he wasn't just visited.

90
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: He had moved back to town. Oh that convenient. Uh

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: got over there and found out you staying by yourself.

00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: Now he moved back. He ain't visited. He to move back, Yeah,

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: and he wanted to see you more. Now, the lady said,

94
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: I had no idea he'd be interested in me now

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: because I've been paralyzed since two thousand and four, so

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: fourteen years you've been paralyzed. Before I go in it further,

97
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: is that something I need to know about paralyzation before

98
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: I assume that means paralyzed came move that all I'm asking? Surely? Well,

99
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean it depends on you know what kind of

100
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: that could be, A like a portion of it? Yeah, yeah,

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And it's nothing wrong. This is not a

102
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360

103
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: So don't nobody. But she wrote me and put in

104
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the ladder. Now, you didn't have to put that in

105
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: the ladder, but you felt it was important. So now

106
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Shirley didn't dance round this hill, but she pared you didn't.

107
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,120

Speaker 1: he still wants MGP. Yeah, he still want mg P.

121
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Let's just go get to this letter right quick. What

122
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: did happened is y'all got back together social media. He

123
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: says he still wanted you, and that suppliesed you that

124
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: he'd be interested in you because you've been paralyzed since

125
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, But that didn't matter to him.

126
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: He asked me if I could still do it like

127
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: I used to do. I teased him and ask, wouldn't

128
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you like to know? So about a month ago I

129
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: showed him that I could still put it on him.

130
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: You see, back in the day he called me miss

131
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: good P or MGP. Mg is where we need? It's

132
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: either miss good P or most grand p you know

133
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: less like like if you in a mate, if you're

134
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: in a ELX club, you might beat them the master

135
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: grand poopa, or maybe you had the MVP. You could

136
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: have had the most valuable Okay, we get it. Or

137
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: your name is Margaret Gail. I don't know what it is,

138
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: but you paralyzed now. So his question was can you

139
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: still do it like you used to do it now?

140
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what she was doing back folded before,

141
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: just prior to two thousand and four. I don't know

142
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: what you was doing back then, but obviously it wasn't

143
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: what I was thinking. See, I was thinking, to get

144
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: to Tyler MGP, that there has to be some monkey flipping,

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: got the chandelio swinging, some do knob diving, some foot

146
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: of the bed back, some assaults, some edge of the bed,

147
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: your knees, a lot of bouncing. It's just a lot

148
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: of stuff go in there. When if you were to

149
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: consider someone that, where are anybody? Yeah, but I don't.

150
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: I can't go too far because I don't want anybody

151
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: that has a situation to think I'm making fun of

152
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: him because or not. But the lady did right me

153
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: with the pali paralyzed thing since two thousand folk. But

154
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: she thinks, Steve, so I don't know how to heal

155
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: what y'all doing in that now. I don't know what's

156
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: going on either he had never had no MGP before,

157
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: or it was the best MGP he ever had. Maybe

158
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: didn't require you to do much, Steve, she said in

159
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: the letter, I showed him that I could still put

160
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: it on him now she said that, Yeah, she said that, Shelly.

161
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: But now that makes me question, what was you putting

162
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: on him? The MP? You think? Okay? Now, the only

163
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: thing I can think is is that inside the MGP,

164
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: what it's like a It's like once you buy mission

165
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: to an amusement park. Once you go into park, that's

166
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: where the rides is at. See, That's what I'm thinking.

167
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: That's why you could So it could be the most

168
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: grand park, it could be go ahead, ship, He's sorry,

169
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: sorry for interrupting you, but I need him, he said.

170
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: I still hold that title to this day. That's why

171
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, there must be something going on inside the MG.

172
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah see see see Maybe maybe MG stands for Madison Guard.

173
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, maybe the MG is short for MGM. Where

174
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of activity going in that building? Show? Yeah,

175
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm assuming there's a lot of stuff going on once

176
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: you get inside. The show ain't outside. Maybe it ain't

177
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: got to be nothing going on. Maybe there, you know,

178
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't know. If his hands, I don't know,

179
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: if it feels, I don't know what it is something.

180
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,880
