Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, Thank you, nephew. Subject I thought he wasn't
coming back. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for nine years,
but I have known my husband most of my life.
We're in our early thirties and we don't have any
children yet. My husband and I go out regularly with
our friends during football and basketball season, we rarely spend
time together. Last weekend, he and his boys had planned
(00:49):
a trip to tailgate and kick it at the Magic
City Classic. They rented an RV and hit the road
early Friday. I had planned a bachelorette weekend for my
sorority system with all of the bells and whistles, oh
and mail strippers. The plans fell through to have it
at another girl's house, so I decided to have it
at my place. We haven't closed our garage and my
(01:12):
husband uses it as his man cave, so there's plenty
of room in there. It was Saturday at six pm,
and the strippers got to my house before the ladies did.
They were hanging out with me in the kitchen until
the party started. My husband called to say that he
wasn't feeling good, but he was going to try to
tough it out. At that point, I should have told
(01:33):
him what I had going on at home in case
he came back early. He was only an hour away,
so I was taking a big risk. Well, four hours later,
my husband called and said he was getting dropped off
at home and asked why there were so many cars
at the house. I lied and said that I ended
up agreeing to host the party at the last minute.
(01:55):
I panicked because he was home. He came right on
in as a bride to be was getting a very
raunchy lap dance by a stripper. My husband hasn't talked
to me in days. He's mad because I had naked
men in his man cave and I lied about the party.
He said, I purposely hid everything from him, and that's
a big problem. Is he blowing this thing way out
(02:18):
of proportion. No, I don't think he's blowing anything out
of proportion, and neither.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Does he Listen.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
He walked into his home and he sees naked men
in his man cave. What I mean, he meant what
he said, He meant what he said, He meant it.
You know how men feel about other men and their
home and their wife is there, you know, and the men,
the men aren't there. You know how they feel. This
was shady, and you have the nerve to have the
(02:46):
party with male strippers in his private sanctuary, his man cave,
male strippers. You disrespected his space. You should have listened
to yourself and told him about the party when you
talk to him on the phone. You already he knew
you were taking a big risk when he told you
he didn't feel well and might come home. Why didn't
you cancel the strippers right then and there and move
(03:09):
the shower someplace else. You had about four hours. You
didn't know that at the time, but you had time.
You should have gotten those people out of your house immediately.
What if he gave a party at the house with
his boys, and one of them was getting a very
raunchy lap dance, as you call it. When you came home.
You wouldn't like that. You would hate that. So you
can't do this. It was too much to happen in
(03:30):
your own home. It was just too much, too disrespectful.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Steve, I thought he wasn't coming back. Well he did.
That's the whole letter right here. I thought he wasn't
coming back. Well, your thought wrong, and he did. And lady,
(03:55):
I can't help you at all. Sureley couldn't help you,
and she a woman, But do I understand where this
man coming from?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh? Hell, what you've heard? The saying?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You know, when the cats away, the mice will play,
you know. But then you've also heard what's done in
the dark will come to the light. I have so
many sayings that apply to this letter. So now that
we know you wrong, let's read the letter knowing you wrong.
(04:38):
I've been married nine years, but I've known my husband
most of my life. We're in our early thirties and
we don't have any children yet, and y'all ain't gonna
have nothing.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Wait a minute, see, let's read this letter already knowing
that again, let's read this letter as we know it.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
My husband and I we're in our early thirties and
we don't have any children yet, and you ain't gonna
have none because y'all ain't finna be no damn family. Yeah,
my husband and I go out regularly with our friends.
Well that's gonna end too, because you can stop saying
(05:22):
my husband and I y'all just gonna be going out
with y'all friends.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
As single people. That's what this is right here.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Doing football and basketball season, we rarely spend time together. Well,
that's gonna extend over into hockey season, Christmas season, holiday season,
Easter season, fourth of July season, summer season. That's where
that's phoenix stend too, because we already know what's coming
in this letter. Last weekend, hearing his boys had planned
(05:52):
a trip to tailgate and kick it at the Magic City.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, they can plan to kick it at.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The Super Bowl, the NBA All Star Game, they can
get ready to do it at the NBA Championship Title Game,

together because he's gonna be free.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Cause your ass messed that up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Uh, they rented R and V and hit the road
early Friday. I had planned you, they ain't gotta rind
them RV's. He can just ride with some girls. Now
he ain't got to riding them all off.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's over.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I had planned a bachelor weekend for my sorority system
with all the bells and whistles, oh and the male's trippers,
and the players fell through to have it at another
girl's house, so I decided to have it in my place.
You can have them all at your house. Now you
have all of them at your house.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Now, hang on, Steve, we'll have part two of your
response coming up at twenty three minutes after today's Strawberry letter.
Subject I thought he wasn't coming back. We'll get into
it right after this. You're listening hard morning show. All right,
Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject
is I thought he wasn't coming back.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I thought he wasn't coming back, but he did.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah. This is a letter about a woman that's been
married nine years most of her life. The husband in
at the thirties. They don't have kids yet, and and
and they very rarely spend time together doing basketball and
football season because of so many activities with their friends.
They obviously went to college together. She is a sorority girl,
and they go to the Magic City, Classic Kicking with
(07:23):
his boys. She decided to throw up a bachelorrett party
with her girls, but then some counsel, so she threw
it at the house. Her husband went to the Magic
City wasn't feeling well, which is our way, and then
he came back home and found it was necking me
in and his man cave, stripping because she had it
over his house. And now he ain't talked to this
(07:44):
woman in days, and he's she talking about He mad
cause I had necking me in his man cave and
I lied about the party, and and she he said
he purposely hid everything from him. And that's a big problem.
Is he blowing this out of proportion? Now he ain't
blowing it out of proportion. You're wrong, You're dead wrong
for having this bachelor party in this man's man cave
(08:05):
without his permission. Then he came home and saw a
nicked male's trip of giving your girl the bachelorette an
inappropriate lap dance, you got naked.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Men and his man cave. So no, he wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So now now that we know that let's read this
letter quickly with that information. I've been married nine years,
but I've know my husband most of my life. We're
in our early thirties and we don't have any children yet,
and you will not be having any children with him.
My husband to go out regularly with our friends. Quit
saying my husband and I, because your ass is about
to be single. During football and basketball season, we rarely
(08:41):
spend time together. Well, you ain't gonna be spending no
damn time together.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
They rented RV and hit the road Friday.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I planned a bachelade weekend for our sorority system with
all the bells and whistles and mail strippers. Players fell through.
We had to have another girl's house, so I decided
it was have it at my place. We have an
enclosed garage and my husband uses.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It as his man cave.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
The one place in that house that belongs to the
man's called the man cave. Thank all of you ladies
out there who provide your husband with small areas in
the home that's all his so he can call it
here is. The rest of the house is y'alls, So
I applaud all the women who do that. All right,
It was saday six pm. Strippers got to my house
(09:39):
fold the ladies did. They were hanging out with me
in the kitchen until the party started. Okay, hold on,
you got mail strippers hanging out with you in the
kitchen before the party started, and I bet you enjoyed that.
We'll have fun because they can hang out all over
the house. In a minute, my husband called us say
(10:00):
he wasn't feeling good, but he was gonna try to
tough it out. At that point, I should have told
him what I had going on at home. Yes, you
should have in case he came back early. Yes, your
subject is. I thought he wasn't coming back, but damn it,
he did.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Four hours later my husband called and said he was
getting dropped off at home and asked why there was
so many cars at the house. I lied and said
that I ended up agreeing to host the party at
the last minute. Now it wasn't the last minute you
found out it wasn't at the other girl's house. You
put it at your house. Too many cars out there
(10:38):
for last minute. Everybody came to your house. I panicked
because he was home.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He came right on in. Why would he knock at
his house?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
He came right on in duff as the bride to
be was getting a very raunchy lamp danced by a stripper.
My husband ain't talked to me in days. He's mad
because I had naked men in his man cave and
I lied.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
About the party.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
He said, I purposely hid everything from him, and that's
a big problem. Is he blowing this out of proportion?
Hell no, he't blowing it out of proportion. Are you crazy?
Let's just suppose you came home and pulled up in
your tea room and saw some half naked women giving
dudes lap dances. How would you feel in y'all's home.
(11:31):
You are a married woman. How you got naked men
in your home? You violated this man in every kind
of way you could, and you didn't tell him, and
you lied about it. So now you lied, which now
makes you deceitful. Yes, you are decipherul I never said
I wasn't deceitful. Ah, but now when you cold busted. Yeah,
(12:01):
Bishop Branno, I repeated this sermon. I saw you have
got to be careful of people who played the victim
for circumstances that they created themselves. Now you sitting up
in here, is he blowing this way out of proportion?
What this man come home by surprise and it's neck
(12:26):

you didn't tell him in his house. Girl, there's nothing
