Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you nephew. Subject he was sleep on the back seat.
Dear Stephen Shirley. I got a call that my husband
was sleep in his car behind the bar that he
goes to on Friday nights after work. I pulled up
on him there and he was asleep in the back
seat with the windows cracked. His pants were unbuttoned and
his shoes were off. I tapped on the window and
(00:47):
he did not budge, so I hit the button to
unlock the car. Then he jumped up and screamed. I
told him to get out of the car, but he
refused to. He said that he did not know how
he got there. I should lead because it was not
safe for me to be there. I told him I
wasn't going anywhere until he got out of the car.
(01:07):
He sat up and put his shoes on, but still
wouldn't get out. I closed the car door and went
and sat in my car. He started texting somebody, and
out of the corner of my eye, I saw a
white lady approaching his car and then suddenly turn around.
At that same time, yeah, uh huh. At that same time,
my girlfriend called me and said she was parked in
(01:28):
the back and had her eyes on me in case
I needed her help. I was so clueless, so she
explained that she thinks my husband was about to get
it on with the white woman in his back seat.
I hung up, and I went inside and found the
white woman. She said she was going to have security
escort me out because I was dead wrong about her
wanting to be with my husband. When I got back
(01:50):
outside to my car, my husband was gone. He was
home in the bed when I got there. He said
he left to avoid conflict. He told me that he
was very disappointed that I pull that's done, and he
was only trying to sleep off the liquor before he
drove home. Does my friend's story sound right to you
or does my husband's story sound right to you. This
(02:12):
all sounds crazy to me. From your husband in the
back seat and him telling you to go home because
it's not safe for you to him, then leaving you
there and going home to, in his words, avoid conflict.
I thought it wasn't safe for him to leave you there.
Everyone in this letter is suspect except you, your husband.
This mysterious white woman who threatened to call security on you.
(02:34):
By the way, why was she walking to your husband's
car and turned around when she saw you? Your friend
called from out of the background somewhere and startled you.
And why was she there spying on your husband?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
What is going on here? I wouldn't trust any of
their stories, but your husband is the only one who
owes you an explanation because you're married to him, and
you know you won't get the truth out of him.
I mean, because if he was just there trying to
sleep off the liquor, why didn't he let you in
his car? And why was the white woman coming his
way until she saw you. No one can make any
(03:09):
of this make sense. And I can't believe he just
left you there. I mean, what kind of husband does this, Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Make me proud though, won't even like there won't even
that's so concerned about this entire letter. I've never seen
so much stuff go wrong that I can't write. I don't.
(03:35):
I just want to say to anybody out there that's
hanging on to me for hope with this letter right here,
let it go, let it cold, give up all hope.
O this right help him. I can't help you. This
is so wrong on so many damn levels. I got
a call that my husband would sleep in his car
(03:59):
behind the bar that he goes to on Friday nights
after work. Now, let's step this letter right here. She
got a call from who now that must be her friend,
Her friend who called that. That's kind of crazy right there.
I pulled up on him and he would sleep in
the back seat with the windows cracked. His pants were
(04:22):
unbuttoned and his shoes were off. You mean his pants
was unbuttoned at the top and they was unzipped, or
he had on fly button front pants. That ain't what
you wear when you're finish do something in the back seat.
You don't wear button fly pants. I can just tell
(04:43):
you that right now. It's too hard. You can't even
have to go to the bathroom real fast, because a
lot of times the button holes ain't been worked a lot,
and it's hard to get him off, and you can
peel on yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I'm just thank you that you want to throw out now.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He was sleeping in the back seat with the windows crack,
his pants was unbuttoned, and his shoes were off. I
tapped on the window. He didn't budge, so I hit
the button to unlock the car. Then he jumped up
and screamed. I told him get out the car, but
he refused to Wait. Wait a minute, dog, what you
(05:21):
tapped on the window. Yes, that's what I wanted. What scream?
It's several scripts? Uh that one? That one don't work? Oh,
that one. So he had to let out a blood
(05:42):
curdler JiTT you know, Freddy Krueger type chainsaw massacre. He
jumped up and screamed. I told him to get out
the car, but he refused to. He said he didn't
know how he got there. Now it's starting to shape
pretty good from the right hip. I like that angle
(06:04):
right here. I don't know how I got here. But
he didn't finish the lie. See after that was the
only time he had out. I don't know how I
got here. I'm drunk. He should have stayed right there,
but he did too much non drunk stuff. I came
in to help this man, and when we come back,
(06:24):
I'm just gonna dig the whole deeper for him. I try,
but there's a white woman involved, so I really can't
be able. I can't help your stuff, white lady, This
white lady that missed it up for you, Pip, I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All right, we'll have part two of your response coming up,
Steve at twenty three minutes after today's subject of this
Strawberry letter was he was sleep on the back seat.
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
Morning show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's
strawberry letter. The subject he was sleep on.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The lady got a call that her husband was behind
the bar he go to on Fridays at the work.
So you drove down that he would sleep on the
back seat. The windows was cracked, his pants was unbuttoned,
and his shoes was off. I tapped on the window.
He didn't budge, so she reached in and hit the
button and unlocked the car. Then he jumped up and screamed.
(07:23):
I told him get out the car, but he refused to. Okay,
so now he trying to hold a position. I'm not
getting out this car because obviously something if he'd just
stood up, would have been telling. So he had to
stay seated in this car. He said that he didn't
know how he got there. Now that this where it
(07:44):
was starting to take shape. I had hope for him,
but it died immediately. He said, I don't know how
I got back there. Then he said, so I should
lead because it's not safe for me to be there. Oh, oh, dog,
that's where your ass blew it at. You had to lie.
(08:05):
I don't know how I got back here, but you
should leave because it's not safe for you to be here.
That's the damn near dumbest thing you could have said,
because you know she ain't fit to leave. What he
should have said was I don't know how I got
back here? Who are you? Yeah? And Lisia, get away
(08:32):
from my door? How damn you? And then that would
have fit with the scream. See, but he didn't carry
that out. See here that this brother's lies. It's they're
not connected. So I wasn't going nowhere until he got
out the car. He set up, put his shoes on,
but he still wouldn't get out of the car. I
(08:52):
closed the car door and went and set in my car.
Why you closed his car and went and sat in
your car. He started texting somebody, and at the corner
of my eye I saw a white lady approaching his
car and then suddenly turned around. Now, surely you said
(09:14):
he turned around when she saw her, but that's not true.
She turned around after she got the text, don't come
out here. My wife is in the car. The white
lady saw that as she was approaching the car and
turned around. Now you can hold strong that you don't
know this white lady. But this damn show coincidental. Though.
(09:38):
At that same time, my girlfriend called me and said
she was parked in the back and had her eyes
on me in case I needed her help. Now, your
damn girlfriend is parked in the back because she the
one called you and told you your husband was sleep
Because she at the same bar. She tricky too. The
bar is called tricky time anyway, and everybody down there
(10:04):
is tricky. Everybody. Your your friend is tricky. He tricky,
the white girl tricky. It's trick stuff going on at
this bar, all right, I was so clueless. So she
explained that she thinks my husband was about was about
to get it on with the white woman in his
(10:24):
back seat. Let's just say she said he was gonna
get it on with the white woman. She said, so then,
now check this out. I was so clueed, so she explained,
she think back seat. I hung up. I went inside
this too much. This is you the guy in your car. Now,
(10:47):
you done went inside the bar, found a white woman.
Now you already know this didn't happen. She said she
was gonna have security escort me out because I was
dead wrong about her wanting to be with my husband.
You know, white people call the police. You know, white
women always called the police. Now and the police would
(11:14):
have took her side because you didn't even see her
talking to your.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Husband checked the phone.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
After that, she said, you was dead wrong. When I
got back outside to my car, my husband was gone,
WHOA so much for you shouldn't be here. It's too
dangerous for you. Now listen to this. He was at
home in bed when I got there. That's just too
damn fast. Dog. Ain't nobody believing you done went home
(11:45):
fell asleep that fast after you just got home. She
got a hardcore, he said. He left to avoid conflict.
He told me he was very disappointed that I pulled
that stunt, and he was only trying to sleep keep
off the liquor before he drove home. Does my friend's
story sound right to you? Or does my husband's story
(12:08):
sound right to you? Let me ask you some lady,
do anything in this story sound right? He wouldn't get
out the car. His shoes was off. Now, I know
a lot of drunk ass people, you do, I ain't
never seen none of them have to take their shoes
off to sober up. That is not a requirement. So
(12:34):
right now, this lie is falling apart. White lady walk
into the car, got the text turned around. I can't
say she was going to get in the car, but
his pants was already unbuttoning and his shoes was off.
I think she was coming back from round two if
you ask me if the white woman was heading for
the car. But the whole problem with this letter is
(12:55):
it's a white lady in it. You can't get out
of this though post.
