Thank you, nephew.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Subject. I am surprised by what I found in his car.
I'm surprised by what I found in his car. Dear
Stephen Shirley. I've been married for seven years and I
found out a lot about my husband recently. He had
a fender bender and his airbags popped out and fractured
his nose. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance,

(00:47):
and I had to get his belongings out of the
car at the towyard. He told me that he'd handle
it himself, but he was hospitalized a few days. I
went to the towyard before they took his car to
the Auto body show. In his glovebox, he had a
garage remote and a key in a tiny ziplock bag.
In the trunk, he had two jogging suits and a

(01:09):
bag from Macy's with an unopened pack of underwear and
a bottle of cologne.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
All of these things, all of these things struck me.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
As an odd because I had just picked up those
jogging suits from the cleaners, and I wonder how they
got in his trunk. Annie went to buy his own underwear,
which he's never done before. But what I really needed
to know was whose garage remote? That was When I
asked him about everything, he was still in the hospital

(01:40):
and said he was on pain killers, so his mind
was foggy. My sister called me and said that my
husband called her husband, and her husband took the phone
in the other room and was talking low. She helped
me with my conspiracy theory, and we think her husband
might be helping my husband with a cover up. We
think he's seeing another lady and it's her garage remote,

(02:02):
and he keeps some of his clothes at her house.
We might be out there too far, but what else
could be going on. It's been six weeks and he
still says he has no idea what was in his
car before the wreck. Why is he acting clueless? Well,
isn't it obvious? I mean, because he doesn't want to

(02:23):
tell you the truth. He did not want you to
look in his car in the first place, because he
knew what was in there and what you would find.
And you found it all. You found the job, in
the track suits, you found it all, the garage key,
the garage opener, underwear, cologne.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
He can still try to use the I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Know because I was out of it because I was
on pain killer's excuse. But he's back at home now.
What has it been six weeks you said, so that
excuse no longer works. You will never get the truth
out of him, You know that right. You've got a
lot of evidence and he has no explanation, and his
brother in law can't help him with the cover up either.

(03:04):
Your theory about him seeing someone else and the key
in the garage remote and all that being another woman's
it's not too far out there like you think it is.
You know you're not wrong. The question is, I mean,
what do you do with this information? Where do you
guys go from here? That's the question?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
See wow, wow, well Sureley, I see you at it again.
Uh huh let me step in here and put some
reason to this whole letter, because I see reason. Okay,
I'm surprised by what I found in his car. I've

(03:44):
been married for seven years. I found a lot about
my husband recently. See this is how I know the
woman is delusional. Let me help you with this. He
had a fender bender. Listen to me, This is how
she writes her letter. He had a fender bender and
his air bags popped out and fractured his nose. He
was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and I got

(04:06):
as belonged as out the car. He was hospitalized a
few days.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Y'all. See here we go.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Now, since somebody trying to get a story to fit
her narrative, all of us in here have been in
a fender bender. When you been in a fender bender
that had you in the hospital for a few days, He.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Was in a car wreck. He wasn't a fender bender.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh see that right there, it already lets me see
that type of person she is.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Come on and flip it flippant.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I didn't flip it. I read it.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
He was in a fender bender. Being it shouldn't have
took all that. But the man broke his nose on
the air bag. That's how fast he was going. He
was in a car wreck and he was in the
hospital for three days. Oh, that's not a fender bender. Yeah, nah,
let's get into the letter. I had to go get

(05:09):
as long as out of the car at the tow yard.
You know why, because they finished total of the car.
You see this, m said they finished total of the car.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
This was not a fender bender. He told me he'd
handle it himself, but he was hospitalized a few days.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
I went to the tow yard before they took his
car to the autobody shop. That's gonna get total when
he gets to the autobody shop.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
That's how bad of a recuse is.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
In his glovebox, he had a garage remote, a key,
and a tiny zip lock bag. In the trunk, he
had two jogged suits and a bag from Macy's with
an unopened pack of underwear and a bottle of cologne.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
All these things struck me at odd.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Because he had just picked up those jogging suits from
the cleaners, and I wonder how they got in the trunk.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know where y'all live.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
What is that if you put them jaga suits in
the car. You know somebody bust that window break in,
so you put your Jaga suits in the trunk. What
can't nobody see what? He brought them new underwear because
he knew his mama always told him we clean underwear
in case you have to go to the hospital and

(06:25):
show enough. He slammed in that trunk and knocked the
sugar honey ice to you out of him. And if
it won for them, new drawls in that vackseat? Lord,
where will we bet?

Speaker 1 (06:36):

Let's recap today's Strawberry letter. I'm surprised by what I

(07:42):
found in his car?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Is the subject?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
This lady Merryton is man.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Uh. She says she found out a lot about him
because he was involved in and this woman kind of
blows stuff up so it fits her narrative. She said
he was involved in a fendebendum. And we've all been
in findependens, but this fender bender made the ad bag
break his nose. He was taken to the hospital in
an ambulance because the car wasn't drivable. So he got

(08:09):
told off and he in the hospital for three days.
Ain't no fender bender put you in the hospital for
three days. That was a car wreck, Nah, let's go
into it.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
So they took it to the toe yard. They done
told him that he got to come.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Get his personal stuff out here because his car is
so damaged, they might totally, but they got insurance company
make him take it into the auto shop so they
can get it officially declared as total.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
He told you he gets stuff out of the car itself.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
You went out there anyway, and found a zip lock
in the bag in the glove box with a remote.
In the trunk, he had two Jagga suits in a
bag for Macy's, with an unopened pack of underwear and
a bottle cologne. All of this struck me an odd
because he has just picked up those Jaga suits from
the cleaners, and I wonder how they got in the trunk.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, let me explain this whole thing to you.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
He put them jogging suits in the trunk, so when
you stop your car, the robbers k' look in the
window and see your jogging suits and break in your car.
So he tried to do that. Why does he have
the underwear because he had been having a dream. He
had been having a dream of premonition. He was having
dreams and a premonition that he was going to be
in a coccident, and he remembered those words from his

(09:25):
mother years ago. Make sure you wear clean underwear. Case
you got to go to the hospital and lo and behold,
the premonition came true.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Bam. He was in a car wreck.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
That ad bag broke his nose and knocked the sugar
honey ice tea out of him. And if he had
got in a chance before they picked him up in
the ambulance, he could have slid them clean drawers on.
But now he doned that at the hospital with all
that sugar honey ice tea in his drawl.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
When he saw this coming in that dream.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
And he could have got that pack of underwear out
that car and put him on fork he went to
the hospital.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
You better do like your mama said.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Wow, and then squirt that come on, yeah, and then
here we go. All this struck me is odd because
I just picked up those jogging suits for the cleaner,
and I wonder how they got in the drug He
went to buy his own underwell, which he's never done.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
But I really needed to know was whose garage? Remote
was that?

Speaker 4 (10:23):
And when I asked him about everything, he was still
in the hospital and he said he was on painkillers,
so his mind was foggy. Yeah, in three days on
them painkillers. Uh, huh, and his mind was foggy. Yeah,
so what he foggy? He can't think, he can't think.

(10:45):
So now let me teach you down this road. My
sister called me and said my husband called her husband
and he took the phone in the other room and
was talking low because poor men talk about, ain't y'all
being says, you know, he got to know these scores
and he know you don't keep up with basketball.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh talking about the basketball game.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh yeah, he gotta get these scores, man. Wow.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
And he won't interrupt you using that to use in
the talking to your sister, and his phone rang and
he went on another room. She helped me with my
conspiracy theory. Bam, bam, you just admitted it in your letter.
You have nothing but a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
What is a conspiracy theory?

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Something that you make up in your mind and try
to push it off as factual. But you really don't
have enough, So she said, her sister helped her with
her conspiracy theory. This wasn't a fact finding mission. There
wasn't an admission of guilt. All you did was have

(11:54):
somebody go along with what you was thinking. And we
think her husband might be helping my husband with the
cover up, cover up of what?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh, what do you have a cover up of?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
We think he's seeing another lady and it's her garage
remote and he keeps some clothes at her house. The
clothes was in the trunk. Wasn't no clothes at her house?
The clothes was.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
In the trunk? Why y'all not seeing this?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Did?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
She admitted another one.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I should have been a lawyer because I could create
reasonable dial Now are you ready for this number?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
We might be out there too far? You true? We is?

Speaker 3 (12:45):
How is this her?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
For?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
What else could be going on? How about nothing?

Speaker 4 (12:52):
How about this conspiracy theory that you and your sister
have cooked up, has gone out there too far? And
then you said that you might be out there too far?
Then you asked me again what could be going on?
And I say nothing? And now you say it's been
six weeks. And he says he still has no idea

(13:14):
What was in his car before the wreck? He don't.
But oh, when the payn killed as well, I just
remembered I had my buddy in the car, Willie, call
Willie and give Willie got remote back and telling he
left it in the car.
