Speaker 1 (00:28):
Subject the Hood, the Bad, and the Bougie. Dear Stephen Shirley,
I met a very beautiful woman that is hood and bougie.
She's a bad dresser, she has a bad figure, she's
got a bad ride, and she's got a mean walk.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I mean bad as in good, Steve, real good.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
We met at a lounge and she stood out from
her group of girlfriends. She was poised and graceful, and
I watched her sib wine while her friends were all
loudly chanting and taking shots. She walked past me to
get to the bar, and I followed her. Though I
could buy her a drink, hell, I bought her a
whole bottle We sat at the bar and talked the minute,
(01:09):
and she gave me a business card so I could
come buy her nail salon and get a manicure. I
walked her to her car and she kissed me on
the cheek. I was in heaven, and as soon as
the nail salon opened, I called to make an appointment.
I knew the salon wasn't in the best part of town,
but I still wanted to see my girl again. When
(01:29):
I walked in, the receptionist looked at me like I
was lost. She rolled her eyes and she pointed to
my girl. My girl looked totally different from the night before.
Her hair was in corn rows and she had on
a body suit and some air Jordan's. She was loud
and cursed a lot as she did my nails. She
referred to me as her inWORD when other ladies commented
(01:51):
on me being in the salon. She was so hood
in the hood, and it was amazing to see this
side of her. We've been hanging out a lot, and
she first to eat soul food and wings most of
the time, so I had to adjust to that and
take an assets at Nahis. At this point, I will
do whatever this girl wants to do because the sex
(02:11):
is off the chain, and I have a lot of
fun with her, even though I have to keep my
pistol on meat when I'm in her neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Am I crazy to be falling for this woman? Nope?
Not at all. I mean, why would you even say that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
One thing for sure is that the heart wants what
the heart wants. It doesn't matter if this girl is hood,
if she's rocking corn rows, calling you her in word,
and cursing a lot while she's doing your nails, you
really like her and you want to be with her.
It's all in the letter. I mean, just know that
this is who she is and what she does, and
don't try to change her. All right, this is who
(02:45):
she is and that's okay. You need to decide and
think about what your future is going to look like
with her, and you got to ask yourself some questions.
Can you take her to meet your family? Can you
go to your work Christmas party when they start having
Christmas parties again? Can you take to church with you?
Will you be embarrassed to take her around your friends?
And most importantly, can your stomach take much more of
(03:06):
the soul food and the wings. Okay, if the answer
to all of these questions is yesin I say go
get your girl.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But because she's already calling you her in word, and
you called her your girl in the letter, so I
think you know you guys are a match. There is
a saying that opposites the tract a track. This sounds
like one of those cases to me, But it sounds
okay right now, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, my man, the subject is the Hood, the Bad,
and the bullshy. But if she wrote this letter about
this girl, this letter also tells me a lot about you.
You got some concerns about the girl, understandable, I got
(03:55):
some concerns about you. So there's gonna be a teaching
and learning moment for all of us. So when the
letter first came out, The Hood, the Bad, and the Bougie,
I thought it was about our morning show. I'll be
quite honest with you, because the Hood on the show,
it's here, her name caller for real, the bad on
(04:21):
the show it's Janathy Brown. Come on, come on cure space,
Thomas Miles. I'm sex and myself, and the bourgie on
the show is the person who just answered this letter
as a bogie person. The whole response is bgie. He's
(04:44):
already calling you the N word and what it didn't
even sound like. And you called her her your girl.
So you know see how buogy that was because she
the bougie on this show. Buddy, wasn't about this show.
It's about this damn letter and brother. Right now, I
(05:04):
really don't see the problem you got with the girl.
I'm gonna show you the problem that's within yourself. You
saw this girl, bad dresser, bad figure, bad ride, and
you say, Steve, I mean in a good way. I
knew exactly what you went home. I've been there. We
met in a lounge. She stood out from a group
of girlfriend poise graceful. Watched her sip wine while her
(05:28):
friends all loudly chatting and taking shots. She walked past
me to get to the bar. I followed this thing
to buy her drink. Hell I bought the whole bottle.
We say at the bar, talked a minute. She gave
me a business card shop I could come out in
her nail salon get a manicure. I walked her to
the car. She kissed you on the cheek. Boy, Yo,
(05:49):
ass was in heaven. Ain't nothing wrong because she dressed
up nice, she clean up nice. She know how to
act in public. She got two sides. You saw the
good side, but you took your ass to the nail
appointment the next morning. You couldn't wait, And when you
(06:11):
walked through the door, you met somebody else. You said.
It wasn't in the best part of town. You gotta
act like your environment. If you gonna get with him,
you gotta get with him. So now you're the bad
(06:31):
part of town. You can't be boys y over here.
We ain't at the lounge. We work now, and when
I come back, I'll show you what happened.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All right, We'll be back with part two of Steve's
response to today's Strawberry letter, The Hood, the Bad, and
the Bushey at twenty three minutes after the hour. Right
after this, you're listening Morning show. All right, Come on, Steve,
let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject, the Hood, the Bad,
and the Oh.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
This man met this very beautiful woman, he says, hood
and bougie. I understand right off the top. She's a
bad dresser, bad figure, bad body, bad walk. You followed
her to the bar, end of the bar, you bought
her drank y'all talked, walked her to the car. She
gave you a business car, kissed you on the cheek.
You was in heaven, boys. She was fining, sophisticated. While
(07:22):
the girls was loud and chating. She was sipping wine,
meaning she know how to be where she is. She
know how to act a part, played the role. She
had you hook line and sinker. It worked, didn't it?
Then you showed up the next day of the men
nail salon? Did she own to get your nails done?
Everybody know who she was because she told her you
was coming. Now you came to the shop. They rolling
(07:43):
their eyes. She right there. She looked totally different. Her
hair was in corn roll. She had on her body
suit and some Air Jordan's. That nice house fit you
got corn rolls you buy you wear. Bodysuit was a
Mad George's. Because you know what's sitting down in them
mad Jordan's. You know that the ankles is lowered down
(08:04):
into these air Jordan's and you got a battery suit
on with it. You know everything that's stuck down in
them shoes is right and tight.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So she went it.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But she got a hand corn roll probably had a
wig on last night or weave or something like that,
because you didn't pay no attention to the corn roll.
So she didn't put on her best and went out
and dressed, and she got you right where she wanted.
She was loud, and she cussed a lot, and she
did my nails because it was in the worst part
of town. You said. She referred to me as her
end word when other ladies commented on me being in
(08:34):
the salon? What in in fau? Oh? This is my
in right here? Who you think is it? Who? You see?
Who he is? You see who he went on?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
This mine?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
She was so hood in the hood, and it was
amazing to see this side of her. We been hanging
out a lot, and she prefers to eat soul food
and wings most of the time, so I had to
adjust to that and take antassis at night. Let's stop
right here here. The problem got what mane don't like
sold food and chicken wayns?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
What kind of mad is you?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Hell? Yeah? Now you ain't here mad at her because
she got con rolls of body shuiting, some jawings on
and she want to eat sold food and chicken. Way,
you gotta take antacin where the punk ass come from?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Every night?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Shoe little ass don't want to eat no sold food
and no chicken wayn. Now you gotta take a hand.
Who has to take antasis for chicken waves? What kind
of man is this? You softened and medicated cotton. You
in here trying to date somebody that's real and you
can't even eat a chicken wing without vomity. Choe punk ass,
come from hell? You been watching sports and ain't been
(09:44):
able to eat no damn chicken wings. You probably ain't
even got no black friends comeing here talking about something.
Y'all got some antaskins for what? Because I fin to
eat these wings? What you can tell us to? Man?
You black and you can't eat soul food because you
need a task? It's what That's really what this letter about.
(10:06):
It ain't about her being too hood. It's about your
ass being soft as medicated cotting. So now at this
point I would do whatever this girl wants to do
because the sex is off the chain, and I got
a lot of fun with her. And even though I
had to keep my pistol on me when I'm in
(10:27):
her neighborhood. Am I crazy for falling for this woman
you know already failed you whipped dog that little tight
bodysuit with them conrods jammed down in them. George, working
with it got you sprung you in love? Why would
(10:47):
you leave her now, Shirley with that budge answer talking
about you know, will you be able to take her
to your mama and teach cherishing around your friends? Yeah?
Because she know how to dress up. She fooled you
the night before. She know how to be whatever. She's
a chameleon. She knows how to put on and be
what she gotta be. But you ain't got no problem
(11:08):
with her. Whatever she is in that bedroom, obviously, that
ain't no problem. You ain't got no problem hanging out
and y'all having fun. Seems like a real sweet person
to me, that knows how to play the game, but
show punk as Yeah, she polish up good everything.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
What about the part about him having to keep his
pistol on him when he's in her neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You ain't only one. You ain't to only one got
