Speaker 1 (00:29):
Subject He's fired and I'm under new management. Dear Stephen Shirley,
I'm a forty one year old white lady and I
work in corporate America with a very good job. I
go to work dressed like a million bucks every day
because I had helped buying my designer pieces. I always
started the top one I date, and I've never dated
a man that is beneath me. A man isn't even
(00:52):
beneath me when we are having sex. I'm always on
top and everything I do. I have a son and
he likes the best of everything. I work hard to
keep him in a lifestyle that I didn't have growing up.
At work, I'm an executive and I report to the
president of the company. I had a private affair with
(01:12):
the last president of my company, and he slipped up
and his wife found out about me. She didn't let
him know anything. She went straight to the board members
of our company and he was let go.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I felt terrible about it.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And he wanted to continue the affair, but it would
have put my job in jeopardy, so I moved on
and prayed that the gossip wouldn't leak. Nine months later,
we have a new interim president and he's black. I
love a man in power, and he's not all that handsome,
but he can dress and he carries himself as though
he runs the world. I guess that he hasn't heard
(01:47):
the gossip because he has already asked me to go
to lunch with him to give him an overview of
the day to day operations. Could it be that I'm
at the executive level and he wants to hear from
a man manager, or is it because he's interested in me.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
The best part is.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That he is single and he is the interim president,
so legally we can do anything we want. He said,
he's picked the perfect place for us to go where
we can talk without distractions and he can get to
know me. Does this sound like he's coming on to me?
Or is this a professional lunch?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Really, you already know, you already know what the deal is.
He asked you to go out, and he's picked the
place where you won't be distracted and he can get
to know you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
That is not lunch. That's a date. Okay, that is
a date.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And surely you know that. You see that you are new.
You're not new at this dating thing. You're not certainly
not new at dating your bosses. I mean, isn't that
how it starts? You know, when they ask you to
go out like that, That's how it starts.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So my question to you is what is your goal?
Do you want to get married eventually? Do you want
to be in a relationship? Do you just want to
do all the presidents in the company? I mean, what
is your goal? You're doing all that you're doing for
a reason. You wear designer clothes every day, you have
a stylist to pick out your designer pieces.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You've never dated beneath you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You're always on top, you say, even in the bedroom,
you sound very confident, very self assured, which is a
good thing of course, no self esteem problems here. But
my question still remains, what is your goal? What do
you want? Have you just written Steve and I to
brag or is there a means to the end. I
really don't think you would just be putting this much
(03:39):
effort into anything if you weren't purpose driven. You just
want You just will not come right out and say
that that's what you want. You want us to think
that you got it all together or you're on top,
as you say, but with no endgame in mind, that
doesn't make sense. You want to snag one of these
company presidents so you can continue your lifestyle and level up.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's why, for sure, you are definitely.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Going to go out to lunch with this new guy
in hopes that he could be the one that you
finally get. Otherwise, why would you even mention that he's
single and it's legal. You guys could do whatever you want. Listen,
I say, enjoy your date with him, but when you
write us, please be honest about your intentions. You are
trying to get a president, That's what it is. Say
what it is, Steve, While we trying that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Okay, because I ain't even moved today. Yeah, you don't
feel like play it alone? Right? You know?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
No, listen, let me stop. This has nothing to do
with race, so let me clear that up. So while
I'm giving my answer, this answer would apply to anybody.
You made it, Rachel, because you wanted to let us
(04:54):
know you're a forty one year old white lady, and
you want to to let us know the color of
the new interim president.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
We wouldn't have known no different.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
You could have just said this is how I am,
this is what I do, but you made it racial.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I'm just the guy for it. He's all right, right,
let's go.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Sixty five years old, I'd have seen this movie before,
so let's go.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You wanna make it racial, and you want to make
it what it is. Now Here he is.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
This letter is about a white gold digger, so now
here we go.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I'm a forty one year old white lady.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I don't know why you thought I'm necessary to tell
us that, but fine. I work in corporate America with
a very good job. I go to work dressed like
a million bucks every day because I had help buying
my designer pieces. I always start at the top when
I date. I've never dated a man that is beneath me.
(06:08):
A man isn't even beneath me when we have in sex.
I'm always on top in everything I do. Okay, white lady,
you better, you better explain.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
This white letter.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I can't call you by your name that you didn't
give us, that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You described yourself as a white lady.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Hang on, black man, hang on.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
More about the white lady when we come back.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Okay, because I'm not in the mood today.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I told you I ain't finn to play with this.
Uh uh, So I'm gonna call it like it either.
This is a letter is about a white gold digger,
and the reason I'm starting off the letter with this
is a white gold digger because this is how the
woman started her letter. Dear Steve and shir she talking
both of them. I am a forty one year old
(07:57):
white lady. This ain't even necessary, but that's what you
want to make it about. I'm the guy for white lady.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Say. I work in corporate America with a very good job.
I go to work.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Dress like a million bucks every day because I had
help buying my designer piece.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well we already know what that is.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I also start at the top when I date, and
I've never dated a man beneath me.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
A man isn't beneath me even when we have in sex.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I'm always on top in everything I do. Okay, white lady,
I have a son, and he likes the best of
everything too. He ain't do I work hard to keep
him in a lifestyle that I didn't have growing up.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And she ain't talking about just working hard at her job.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
She working hard to date from the top and stay
on top at work. I'm an executive and I report
the president of the company. I had a private affair
with the last president of my company. He slipped up
and his white found out about me. She didn't let
him know anything. She went straight to the board members
of our company and he was let go. Now, this,
(09:13):
I can assure you, was enough. This a white lady moved.
The president you were sleeping with was white because the
black lady ain't keeping nothing to her and going to
the board. Oh no, this is feeling to be a
(09:36):
corporate whopen on display.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Black women take it to the house, the.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Parking lot, the church, face book, Facebook, Livester Graham, her brother,
her cousins, everybody involved. So I know they were white.
I fell terrible about it, and he wanted to continue.
(10:03):
But continue, Why would I continue? You ain't on top?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
No one right, he don't.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Date beneath him. But it would have put my job
in jeopardy. How I would have put your job in jeopardy?
He gone, Now, you didn't get put in jeopardy when
he got fired, So that's a lie. It wouldn't have
put your job in jeopardy.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I'm a proven to.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Nine months later, we had a new interim president and
he's black. Okay, Yeah, tell us that I love a
man in power. Yes, you do, because you are gold dude.
And he's not all that handsome, but he can dressing
him carries himself as though he runs the world a
lot ofly, paying all that good. Look at my decision.
I get it, But you're what you said. But he
(10:47):
can dress and he carries himself and run the world. Yes,
I do. So, now you got this black dude. I
guess that he hasn't heard the gossip because he has
already asked me to go to lunch with him to
give him an overruler of the day to day operation.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Could it be here what she tried to play?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Could it be that I'm at the executive level and
he wants to hear from a manager or is it
because he's interested in this.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
She tried to trick us.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
No, lady, it's you the one's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
See you the one is interesting. And now let me
show you something.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
The best part is he's single and he's the interim president,
so legally we can do what we want.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Waite where that comes from.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Because just a minute ago, the reason you would not
date the white man after he got fired was because
you said it would put your it would have put
my job in jeopardy.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
How he don't even work that no more. He don't
even work that no more.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
But now you the first figured out that the black dude,
since he's single and he that enteral president, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So legally we can do what we want.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
That is nowhere in a corporate America that you can
do what you want.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That ain't nowhere.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
You can do what you want. You want to get
some rules, go get a job in corporate America. He said,
he's picked the perfect place for us to go where
we can talk without distraction and he can get to
know me. That this sound like he's coming on to
me or just a professional lunch. Help if you don't
shut up with this bull craft? You a professional gold?
(12:32):
Didn't you know how to dig for gold? You done
already decided the fact that he ain't handsome, don't matter.
He dresses well and he cashself like he run the world,
and he'd got the power, and all you look for
is power. You don't dy beneath you? Girl, You just
said all this, you know good in the hell well
(12:53):
what this is? And my question is which one of
them designed to dresses? You gonna waft to this unch,
cause don't gonna hell whatever clevlance you've got. And I'm
pretty show you the bost some extra. With all these
extra dudes you've been dated, you're gonna have them shoved
up under your boat.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
This whole intention you will go to the ladies. Stop playing, right, dude.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I wish I knew you so I could give your
heads up and tell you what's something like?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
