the Hood, the Bad, and the Bougee. 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.
(00:43):
I mean bad as in good, Steve, real good. We
met 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 asked me to get to
the bar, and I followed her so I could buy
her a drink. Hell I bought her a whole bottle.
(01:07):
We sat at the bar and talked a minute, and
she gave me a business card so I could come
by 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 I
(01:30):
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
bodysuit and some air Jordan's. She was loud and cursed
a lot as she did my nails. She referred to
me as her in word when other ladies commented on
(01:51):
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
prefers 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 is off
(02:12):
the chain, and I have a lot of fun with her,
even though I have to keep my pistol on me
when I'm in her neighborhood. Am I crazy to be
falling for this woman? Nope, not at all. I mean,
why would you even say that. 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
(02:34):
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 she is and
that's okay. You need to decide and think about what
your future is gonna look like with her, and you
got to ask yourself some questions. Can you take her
(02:54):
to meet your family? Can you go to your work
Christmas party when they start having Christmas parties again? And
can you take her to church with you? Will you
be embarrassed to take her around your friends? And most importantly,
can your stomach take much more of the soul food
and the wings. Okay, if the answer to all of
these questions is just then I say go get your girl.
(03:14):
You know. But because she's already calling you her N 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 attract attract. This sounds like
one of those cases to me, But it sounds okay
right now, Steve, Well, my man, the subject is the Hood,
(03:37):
the Bad and the Bushia. But just you wrote this
letter about this girl, this letter also tells me a
lot about you. You got some concerns about the girl. Understanding,
I got some concerns about you. So this is gonna
(04:01):
be a teaching and learning moment for all of us.
So when the letter first came out, The Hood, the Bad,
and the Budhie, I thought it was about our morning
show being quite honest with you, because the Hood on
the show, it's him her name caller for real. The
(04:21):
Bad on the show's Janthon bro I'm on, I'm on
Kire spits Thomas Miles and myself, and the Budgie on
the show is a person who just answered this letter
as a bullshie person, the whole responsors budgie. He's already
(04:45):
calling you the Nwood and it didn't even sound like
and you called her her your girl. So you know
see how bullshie that was, because she the budgie on
this show. Buddy, wasn't about this show. It's about this
damn letter and brother right now, I really don't see
(05:06):
the problem you got with the girl. I'm gonna show
you the problem that's within yourself. You saw this girl,
bad dress up, bad figure, bad riding, you say, Steve,
I mean in a good way. I knew exactly what
you went home. I've been there. We met in the lounge.
She stood out from a group of girlfriend poise, graceful.
(05:27):
Watched her sip wine while her friends all loudly chatting
and take a shot. She walked past me to get
to the bar. I followed this thing to buy her drink. Hell.
I bought the whole body. We said at the bar,
talked to men, and she gave me a business car.
Shot could come out in her nail salon, get a manicure.
I walked her to the car. She kissed you on
(05:49):
the cheap boy, your ass was in Heather ain't nothing
wrong because she dress up nice, she cleaned 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.
(06:10):
And when you 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're gonna get
with them, you gotta get with them. So now you're
(06:31):
the bad part of town. You can't be bullish. Ye
over Hill when you' at the lounge. We worked now,
and when I come back, I'll show you what happened.
All right, We'll be back with part two of Steve's
response to today's Strawberry letter, The Hood, the Bad, and
the Bushee, at twenty three minutes after the hour right
after this. You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, Let's

You know everything that's stuck down in them shootings just
right and tight. So she went it, but she got
her 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
(08:19):
put on her best and went out and dressing. She
got you right where she wanted. She was loud and
she cussed a lot of She did my nails because
it was in the worst part of town. You said.
She referred to me as her n word when other

you think? Just it? You see who he is? You
see who he went on? It? This mine? Yeah, 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 prefers to eat soul food and
wings most of the time. So I had to adjust
to that and take antasters at night. Let's talk right
(08:59):
here here the problem we got what man don't like

You black and you can't eat soul food because you
need a task? It's what That's really what this letter about.
(10:07):
It ain't about her being too hood. It's about yo

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
(10:28):
