Speaker 1 (00:27):
Nephew's subject, I caught her in the act and she lied.
Here's Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty two year old
married woman, and if you come around me cheating and lying,
I'm telling it. I expect my girlfriends to do the
same thing. And there's no need for us to hang out.
Or there's no need for us to hang out. My
husband's best friend is on the verge of divorce, and
he's confided in my husband and I about how his
(00:50):
wife is for the streets, and she comes in late
and ignores his phone calls. She and I are not
the best of friends because she's sneaky. I went out
to run a few airs on Saturday, I saw the
best friend's wife's car parked in the Walmart lot and
I rode past the driver's side and it looked like
a man was in the driver's seat. I knew it
(01:10):
was her personalized tag, so I called her. Her head
popped up from the passenger side of the car and
she looked at her phone. I couldn't tell who was
in the driver's seat of her car that her husband
just bought for her. She didn't answer the phone, so
I walked over to the car to see if she
was okay.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
She asked why was.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I walking up on her like that, and I asked
her who the guy was. He kept on adjusting his
pants and he didn't look at me. She said she
was about to run in and shop, but her cousin
had to charge his phone first. I told her it
was good to see her, and I rushed back to
my car so I could call my husband and spill
this tea. My husband swore he wouldn't say anything to
(01:51):
his best friend until I did some more research, but
he did, and not even two hours later, the wife
called me, yelling and cursing me. I told her I
saw what I saw, point blank, period. What does she
expect me to do? And why is she upset with me?
Please help? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
For ill?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
For ill? You cannot be serious. What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Why is she upset with you? Where shall I begin?
She's upset with you for calling her. She's upset with
you for walking up on her in the car. She's
upset for you with you for telling your husband. Okay,
that's why she's upset with you, And because you told
your husband, and your husband told his best friend, which
is her husband. She's upset with you because you're a busybody,
(02:38):
because you're messy, and because you need to stay out
of people's business.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's why she's upset with you. What about that?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Don't you get who appointed you the one to tell
if people are cheating and lying, like you said in
the first line of your letter, and if you come
around me cheating and lying, I'm telling it, Okay, okay,
who appointed you that job? It might be or it
is wrong morally. We know that what they're doing, but
it's not your business to judge what they're doing. Leave
(03:05):
these people alone and worry about your own house. Lady Tommy,
I am.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So sick of people that cannot mind their own business.
It gets on my nerve you have. Now what amazes
me about the beginning of this letter is he's getting ready.
They're going through a divorce, right right, so we already
through with each other. It's a wrap, it's over. So
it doesn't matter what this lady is doing or not doing.
But why are you you feeling like you need to
(03:33):
be rolling up? And you cannot roll up on people
in no Walmart parking lot while they neck. And you
can't do that. You don't roll up on people in
Walmart parking lot while they listen. If you don't see
no blue vest, get back, get back. Okay, if you
don't see no masks, no blue vest, you get your
behind back. If you see a if you look a
through a car, you don't see no heads, and then
(03:54):
heads pop up. Hey, that's guess what they doing their thing.
You got to keep it moving. But now you know
what you messy? You want to go tendative to your husband.
Now your husband gonna go tell it to his best friend.
Now his best friend gonna come back and tell the
wife that's soon to be his ex wife that, oh,

Speaker 2 (06:52):
You're listening Morning show.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right, guys, we're gonna recap this letter. The subject
is I caught her in the act and she lied.
The letter is from a thirty two year old married woman,
and she says, right off the bat, right off the bat,
if you come around me cheating and lying, I'm telling it.
And she expects her girlfriends to do the same, or
there's no need for them to hang out, okay, what anyway,
(07:19):
she says, her husband's best friend is on the verge
of getting a divorce.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So yeah, so they're in the verge of getting a divorce.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
He confided in her husband that his wife is for
the street, so they may as well, you know, get
a divorce. The woman who wrote the letter says that
she's not friends with this woman because she's sneaky, so
she doesn't trust her. So she left one day to
run some errands, and in the Walmart parking lot, she
saw her best friend's husband's wife. She saw her car
(07:50):
in the lot, and I guess the windows were all
steamier at whatever. She called her. She tried to get
in touch with her. The woman didn't answer. She walked
up to the car and what do you want?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What you want?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So she knew it was a woman's car because she
saw the personal LIFs tag. A man's head popped up,
and uh, he never looked at her because he was
continually adjusting his pants.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And the woman asked her, why are you walking up
on me like that? Yes, Tommy, but.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You know what, I've been in a position where I
have seen a good friend of mine. I've been in
a position where a friend of mine I saw his
lady with somebody else, you know what I mean. And
I actually spoke to her. I had some words for
and and I was done with it. I didn't go
tell him nothing. I just had some words on it
(08:43):
and say, hey, you got to you got to get
yourself together what you're doing. I just checked her. I
checked out a very polite way. And then you know,
and I said, hey, don't I don't want to see
this again. I never told him anything ever, never ever,
And when I see them to this day me and
have never disgusted again. I ain't never seen her out
doing nothing crazy again.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But you said what you said at that moment.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
What I said, not only because I saw her and
she saw me, and I'm like, yo, yoh, hey, let
me let you for a minute.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
But I would never go back to my boy and
say something. I would never do that now.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Even even if, like in this situation they're getting ready
to get a divorce.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
That's just not what you do. It's not your business,
mind your own house.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is not true. You're walking all up on the car.
But I just want to know who who? Who named
her the watchdog? These people cheating and lying.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Cattle tales named their own self. They elect themselves.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It was no votes in Yeah, she said she she
couldn't wait to get home so she could spill this
tea to her husband, and her husband promised her that
he wouldn't tell. So he's cheating and lying because he
lied to you by saying he wouldn't tell, and he tells.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Did you check him?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Both the same person?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
She married herself? Know who she married. They both tell
that's why they get along.

with another woman. I mean I saw it with my
own eyes, and I mean they left no room for interpretation.
They were in it. Okay, I didn't tell my girl.
I didn't tell my girlfriend. I couldn't do that because
(11:59):
you know what, she would end up being mad at me.
They get back together, she'd be mad at me for telling.

You know, I always say this, and I say this
when it comes to that kind of situation. It depends
on the relationship with the with the girl, it's all
that's my If it was Torri, who's my best friend,
