The crowd was rowdy like always. Jerry Springer adjusted his tie before he headed out to the stage. He readied his cue cards as his make up artist did one last touch before he headed out.
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" The crowd roared as usual.
Jerry Springer entered the room as the crowd went wild. He shook hands with a few folks. The noisy crowd slowly but surely calmed down. Jerry stepped upstage facing the crowd.
"This is a show about nudes. Since National Nude day is coming up, we thought this would be a good time to talk about nudity. Today's topic is my significant other likes to be naked all the time and I'm tired of it."
"Woohoo!" The crowed cheered.
"Now, our first guest is Anthony. He's been married to Leah for three years, but lately they've been fighting a lot because he loves to be naked at all times no matter what. Anthony is this true?"
Anthony sat in his chair with only a robe on smiling wickedly. "That's right Jerry. I love being naked. Nothing feels better than to wake up naked and stay naked all day. My wife knew this about me when she met me. I don't know why she's getting so upset about it lately."
"Do you think that maybe she doesn't like her friends seeing you naked?" Jerry asked.
Anthony scoffed. "That might be it. I know her friends check me out and well, Jerry, I can't help it if they want to look."
"Boo! Boo!" The crowd roared.
"Well, Anthony, your wife, Leah, his here. Let's see what Leah has to say. Leah, come on out!"
The crowd whistled and cheered as they saw the pretty blonde girl come out. She took a seat next to her husband rolling her eyes at him.
"Hi Leah," Jerry said politely.
"Hey, Jerry."
"So tell us, why does Anthony being naked all the time bother you so much?"
Leah sighed. "Well Jerry, can you blame me? It is not normal! I mean that's why there is such a thing called "clothes!"
"But he likes to be this way."
"I know he does, but he walks around naked not only in the house, but the backyard, in the front lawn and just about anywhere he can get away with."
"Anthony, you hear your wife complain about this knowing she doesn't like it, could you change for her?" Jerry asked.
"No, I'm sorry."
"Ohhhh!" The crowed yelled.
Leah had a sad look in her eyes. "Not even for me? Anthony, I love you but you have to try to put some clothes on. At least for me!"
"Ok Anthony what are you going to tell your wife today?" Jerry asked.
Anthony turned to Leah and stood up. He undid his robe letting it fall to the ground. Leah's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Her husband was standing completely naked on national TV! The crowd went wild, standing up clapping, cheering, booing all at once.
"Shhhhh!! Ok folks, let's listen to what Anthony has to say." Jerry said taming the audience.
"Leah, I love you, babe, but this is the way I am and the way I'll always be. If you can't accept that, then I have to choice but to ask for a divorce."
The crowd booed.
Leah felt tears coming out of her eyes. "You can't be serious! I'm not asking for much Anthony. Just that you put on some clothes every now and then. Please!"
Anthony remained standing, and turned around showing off his naked youthful body. "Why should I be ashamed of my body? We were all born naked right? The naked body is a beautiful thing."
"So you're not willing to compromise with your wife and wear clothes every now and then?" Jerry asked almost in shock.
"That's right Jerry. She has to love me for me. I love her the way she is, I mean I never beg her to get naked with me."
"That's not true!" Leah yelled out standing up.
Anthony narrowed his eyes. "Leah, I have never asked you to be naked with me around the house."
"You do it all the time! You are such a liar!" Leah slapped Anthony. The crowd went wild!
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" The audience yelled.
The security guards ran to them separating them to keep Leah from slapping Anthony again. It took a few minutes until they finally calmed down. Leah took her seat and Anthony sat down as well.
"Ok you guys have to stay calm if you want to talk about this like adults," Jerry said calmly.
Leah felt her heart racing. Never in her life had she hit anyone. But Anthony was making her so mad! Why couldn't he just understand her point of view?
"We'll be right back," Jerry announced as the show went to commercials.
During the commercial break, Leah tried to avoid looking at her husband. She felt her face turning beet red. How could Anthony just take off his clothes in front of thousands of people? There had to be a limit!
A few seconds later, a short brown haired girl came on stage also wearing a robe, just as Anthony had earlier. Jerry sat her down talking to her before the cameras began rolling again. The music came back on and the crowd was cued to cheer again.
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" They all cheered loudly.
"Welcome back," Jerry began, "Today we are talking with people in relationships that love to be naked but their partner is not so thrilled about that. Meet Jessica. Now she's been with Mike for over a year, and lately, they've been fighting over how she loves to be naked."
The dark haired girl smiled sweetly.
"Hi Jessica," Jerry began.
"Hi Jerry!" She replied in a cheery voice.
"So is this true? You actually like being naked anywhere you can get away with?"
"That's right. Just like the young man here said, being naked is beautiful. Nobody should be ashamed to be naked. We were born this way and we should stay this way. I don't know where we went wrong that it is considered taboo to be naked."
"Have you always been this way?"
"I guess you could say that Jerry. I hate clothes. I hate having to pick out what clothes to wear each day! This way I don't worry about what I have to wear and I am happy showing off my naked body."
"Yes I understand, but I also know this bother's your boyfriend doesn't it?"
"Yes it does and I wish it wouldn't."
"Well Mike is here today. Let's see what he has to say. Mike come on out!" Jerry announced.
A tall dirty blonde haired guy stepped out nodding his head as the crowd cheered him on. He sat next to his girlfriend holding her hand.
"Awww," the entire audience said in unison.
"Hi Mike."
"Hey Jerry."
"So tell us, why do you hate your girlfriend to be naked all the time?"
"Well Jerry, I don't mind that she's naked with me, but lately, she's been trying to get nude in public!"
"Yeah! Woooo!" The crowd went wild.
"In public? What has she done?"
"Well we were at a concert once and she started dancing and getting into the music, by the time I realized what was going on , she's topless. Then she started to take her bottom off and some jerk tried to hit on her. I had to fight off that asshole, Jerry. I was so upset with her that night."
