Speaker 1 (00:26):
Letter subject my boss wants to whip me again. A
disclaimer if you have young children anywhere around you, you
do not want them to hear this letter, okay, Dear
Stephen Shirley. It says I'm a thirty one year old
single black man and about two months ago I was
not ready to settle down yet, so I was mingling
(00:47):
and dating. After countless failures with meeting women, I finally
came across a much older woman who was on the
same page that I was on. She only wanted sex
and that's it. She invited me to her house one evening,
and from the moment I got there, it started getting heated.
We were kissing and grinding on her sofa, and as
(01:08):
it was about to go down, she left me on
the sofa and went upstairs to her room, and she
told me to give her ten minutes. So I undressed
and went upstairs, and it was pitch black. She told
me where to go, and I followed her voice into
a room where all I heard was jingling keys and
(01:28):
metal clinging, and something that sounded like a towel was
hitting a mattress. The noises stopped suddenly, and she said,
I got something for you, baby, and the lights came on.
There were four adult toys of different shapes and sizes,
and she was wearing a dog collar with a lot
of gold chains hanging from it. I looked over in
(01:51):
the corner and there was a huge dog cage on
a platform. She took off her launcherie and I stood
there in disbelief. I asked where the dog was, because
I don't like dogs. She pulled out a belt and
told me to get in the cage while she whipped
(02:12):
me several times on my beer behind. I turned and
ran so fast that I almost fell down the stairs
in the dark. I ended up leaving my hat and
my shirt, but I left with my dignity. Did you
now What I failed to do, what I failed to mention,
is that she's my direct supervisor and she's very unhappy
(02:36):
with how I left. She's giving me major attitude because
she wants a do over. I really need my job,
So how do I fix this without getting whipped? What?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What? It's going a lot?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
With?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Your boss?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Conveniently left out the fact that this woman was your boss.
You conveniently left that out until the very last part
of the letter, And that's because you probably knew we
were going to tell you. This was a very stupid
move on your part. But I do have to tell
you this. I'm glad you got out. I'm glad you
survived it, even though you almost fell down the stairs
(03:21):
in the pitch black. You said you guys talked about
this beforehand, and you guys were on the same page.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't think you're on the same page at all.
You got to get out of there. Either you're going
to have to transfer to a different department, or you're
going to have to get another job somewhere else. You
should be interviewing and doing all that you can do
to make that happen right now, And no matter how
bad her attitude is she is your boss, and you
(03:50):
said she's giving you major attitude. Whatever you do, there
are no do overs. Do not go back to that
lady's house. Okay, next time she might tell you get
in the cage, lock you up with those jingling keys
you heard in the dark. Her kind of freakiness is
a little different, and you can really get hurt with
all the whipping and stuff, and this is just too crazy.
(04:12):
Stay away from her, do your job until you leave,
and then when you get out of there, don't look back.
But please get out and get out now.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Steve, this is one of those letters where I'm gonna
use as a teaching moment.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
A lot of young brothers listening to this show.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Uncle Steve's gonna walk you through some things that you
need to know when faced with anything similar to this.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Let's go now. He starts off by telling us who
he is.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He's a thirty one year old single black man, and
he said, very confusingly, about two months ago, I was
not ready to settle down yet.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Where that came from, because this whole letter has nothing
about you wanting a commitment of any kind. So you're
just telling us a story you're thirty one years old
and you single ready to mingle.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's what you should have said. So I was mingling
and Dayton, that's all you had to say.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Dog, after countless failures with meeting women's no, they weren't.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
They weren't countless failures.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're not looking for a commitment, so anytime the relations fail,
it's what you weren't committed to. Anyway, after countless failures, well,
you didn't want no successes. It was just dating and mingling,
So let's just stay honest, brothers. I finally came across
(05:44):
so much older woman who was on the same page
that I was on. She only wanted sex and that's it.
She invited me to her house one't evening, and from
the moment I got there, it started getting heated. We's kissing,
it grinding on the sofa. He was about to go down.
She left me on the sofa. Here's the key. She
(06:06):
left me on the sofa and went upstairs to her room,
and she told me to give her ten minutes. But Na,
you're asked. Didn't listen, your stupid ass. Right after that
said so, I undressed and went upstairs and it was
(06:28):
pitch black boy you got naked too early.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
All right, hold that thought right there, right there.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
We've all got it. We've all know Tommy, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Two of your response coming up Steve at twenty three
minutes after the hour today Strawberry letter, subject my boss
wants to whip me.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You're listening morning show. Come on, Steve. Let's recap this letter.
The subject is please there is a disclaimer with this
letter if you have small children. My boss wants to whip.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Me thirty one year old young man.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It's very confused about what he wants and what he's
expecting out of the results from what he's actually doing.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
He's dating and mingling around. He's serious, he don't want
to settle down.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So now he's saying, after he's been meeting women, dating
and all failure after failure, because you don't want nothing.
And it just proves that you don't want nothing, because
you said right after this, after countless failures in meeting women,
I finally came across as much older woman who was
on the same page that I was.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
One. She only wanted sex and that's it. See, boy,
you've been wanting to.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Get in relationships to women that only want sex and
that's it. And then when it don't work out, you
consider that a failure. Everybody don't want to sign up
for this foolishness. Ah, but you to find this old ass.
Lady ain't got no problem with it, ye, So you
meet her, y'all on the same page. Invite you to
(08:08):
a house. Soon as you got there, you grinding on
the couch. It's hot, heated it then got good boy.
She left you on the sofa, went upstairs to her
room and told you to give her ten minutes. Your
jumping ass can't wait ten minutes?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Why cause you young?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
After she said give her two minutes, your reaction was
so I undressed and went upstairs, and it was pitch black,
What is your ass up there for? She said, ten minutes?
You up down two damn early and your naked and
took your clothes off two damn fasts, and then went
(08:52):
upstairs and left your clothes downstairs.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
How stupid is your ass?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Don't ever your clothes somewhere you can't reach them.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's the lesson. Ruh, there's so many lessons in this letter.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Then I'm dressing with them, says it was pitch Black's
cause you're too damn early, she said ten minutes. She
ain't set up yet, no light on. She told me
where to go, and I followed her voice into a
room right here. Never be naked in the dark following voices.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Stupid?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
What it is that I'm following a voice into a
room where all I heard was jingling keys and metal
clinging and something that sounded like a towel hidding the mattress.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
What and you kept walking towards the jingling and the
towel hitting the mattress.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And you ass that kid and case c Do you
understand how stupid you are? The noises stopped suddenly, and
she said, I got something for you, baby, and then
the lights came on. There was four adult toys of
different shapes and sizes, and she was wearing a dog
(10:20):
collar with a lot of gold chains hanging from it.
I looked over in the corner and that was a
huge dog cage on the platform. See, I would have
missed all this?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
