on the air, just like we're going to read this
one right here, right now, and you never sure it
could be yours?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes, Steve, Before you do the Strawberry letter, can we
sang Cisco's Thong song.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
For here? It is Strawberry Letter. That's all he got.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Thank you, nephew. Subject who's been filling up her tank?
Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married for a little over
a year and my wife came home with a full
tank of gas in her car had been washed. I
noticed that I haven't had to put gas in her
car for a while, so I decided to watch how
she was moving. It's been a full month and she
(00:54):
hasn't asked me to get her any gas. She drives
fifteen miles to work and back daily, so I knew
something was up. Like a big dummy, I drove to
her job to see what was going on. Before I went,
I checked her gas level that morning and she was
right at a fourth of a tank when she usually
tells me she needs gas. I sat in the parking
(01:16):
lot and around four thirty pm, her car comes rolling
in with a man driving it. He parked it in
a reserved parking spot and a car picked him up.
I called my wife and said that I noticed that
her gas was low that morning and asked if she
needed me to come to her job and gas up
her car. She said she didn't want me to drive
all the way out there because she could make it home.
(01:38):
I waited until she got off work, and she came
out and got in her car, and she drove straight home.
I got home a few minutes after her, and I
told her I was going to put gas in her car.
She lied and said she stopped on the way home
and filled her car up. I commented on her car
being clean inside and out, and she said she took
(01:59):
it to be cleaned three days ago by her job.
And she said that she couldn't remember the name of
the car wash. I knew some companies provide a gym
membership for their employees. So does her job provide free
gas and car washes or is another man taking care
of her needs? Is it cool to tell her that
I drove to her job and I know she's been lying.
(02:22):
Is it cool? This is your wife? What are you
talking about? You ask a lot of questions at the
end of this letter. It's great to ask questions, of course,
but you should be asking your wife these same questions
that you just asked Steve and on, and you should
ask her way before this. Why didn't you ask the
guy who was driving your wife's car. Why didn't you
(02:43):
stop him and talk to him? I can't believe you
just stood by and watched another man come pull up
in your wife's car. What I don't get it. So
to your question about is it cool to tell her
that you drove to her job and you know she's
been lying? It doesn't matter if it's cool or not.
Ask her, tell her whatever you need to do to
(03:03):
get at the truth. She's gonna have to come clean
at some point when you tell her you saw this
guide driving her car. You saw him right. I don't
know any husband on earth who would be okay with this,
not one, but anyway. To me, the bottom line is,
no matter what she said, she's lied to you on
several occasions. Do you honestly think it's gonna make a
(03:23):
difference this time. Your marriage is in trouble, sir. This
is an urgent problem, and it's too soon to be
having these kinds of problems anyway. You guys are still
in the honeymoon stage. You should be. You haven't been
married but over a year. Talk to her about it today,
or you're going to be filing for divorce tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Steve, I don't I don't understand this letter. Who's been
filling up her tent? The guy?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Whoever the guy is?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know you've been married a little over a year.
My wife came home with a full take gas in
copy washing. Ain't had to put no car in her
gas for a while. So you decided to watch to
see how she was moving. And been a month and
she ain't asked you to get no drive. Job is
fifteen miles away one way, So then you said, like
(04:17):
a big gummy.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I drove jobs.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
See what was going on. But before you went, you
checked her gas level. She had a quart of a tank.
You sat in the parking lot and at around four
thirty her car comes rolling in with a man driving it.
He parked it in her reserve parking spot and a
(04:41):
car picked him up. Then you called your wife and said,
I noticed that your gas was low running this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She needed me to come to a job gas up
her car.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
She said, she ain't want me to drive all that
way out there, but she could make it home.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
She didn't lie.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
She ain't want you to drive all the way out there,
and she and she can make it home. But your
question is who's been filling up her tank when you're
was sitting there at four thirty and saw her car
pull up and then this man got out and then
got in another car. What prompted you to write this
(05:20):
letter to us? Who's been filling up her tank?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Him? Him?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
The dude that got out the car at four thirty
that you watch pull into your wife's reserve spot. So
that means your wife works in some type of Corporate
America position and somebody, now this.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Man that drove the car. It could be it could
be a fueling service.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It could be a car wash detail business and they
put gas in your car.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
She could be paying for it. Eh, Okay, okay, But
who's been filling up her tank? To me is an ignic.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Question because you saw the man get out of your
wife's car at four point thirty and somebody picked him
up and drove off. Then you called into your wife
and said, I noticed your gas was low this morning.
You need me to come your job and gas up
your car. She said, she won't you drive all that
way because she could make it home. I waited till
(06:26):
she got off work and came out. Now you still
in the parking lot. Waited till she came out, got
her car. She drove straight home.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Hang on, Steve, hang on right there. Yeah, we'll have

Speaker 3 (07:11):
What if it's all of that and more? What is
it then?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
The all new Hyndai Palisade Hybrid so much more than
just another suv. Viehundai USA dot com or call five
six two three one four four six zero three for
more details.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject, who's been filling up her tank?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Bruh, I don't I don't know how to talk to
you because I don't know how old you are. You
got to be young, young, you got to be young
because for you to write this letter, the subject is
who's been filling up her tank? You've been married a
little over a year. Your wife always has you fill
up her car. And then you notice that she never
(07:53):
hadn't been asking you for a month to fill up
the car. And she always has gas in the car,
and the car is always clean. And you know her
job is fifteen miles away both ways, so you.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Knew something was up.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And me and you say, like a big dummy, I
drove down to her job see what was going on.
And before you went, you checked her gas level. This
morning she was at a quarter.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Of a tank.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's when she normally tells you she need gas. So
I sat in the parking lot in around four thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
He car comes rolling in with a man driving. He
parked in.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Her reserve parking spot. A car picked him up. I
called my wife and said that I noticed that her
gas was low that morning.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
She wanted me to come to the job and get
a car.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
She said, she want you to drive all that way
out there, but she could make it home. Your question
is who's been filling up her tank? That man, that
man that pulled into your wife's reserve parking spot, that
got out of her car and another man picked up.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That's that's who was driving. That's who been filling up
her tank.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But why how did you manage to go home and
type this letter to us?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Because you asking the question that you already got to
answer to.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So when she told you she ain't want you to
drive all the way out there because she could make
it home, she wasn't lying she could make it home.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I waited.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now now you still in the parking lot, see me.
There's a whole nother story. First of all, hey man,
what you're doing driving my wife car?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Fight breakout, probably in the parking lot. Some people look
the police is there. There's some yellow tape in the
parking lot. They bringing your wife down for questioning. All
listening supposed to have happened. But somehow you sat there
in the parking lot and waited till she got home,
(09:54):
and she got him out, got in her car and
drove straight home. I got home a few minutes after her.
I told her I was gonna put gas in her car.
Why are you still playing this game? Though I told
her I was gonna put gas in her car, she
lied and said she stopped on the way home to
fill her car up.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I commented on her.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Car being clean inside and out, and she said she
took it to be clean three days ago by her job.
And she told me she couldn't remember the name of
the car washing, but I bet she know the dude
name that we're driving the car. I know some companies
provided gym membership for their employees, so does her job
(10:36):
provide free gas and car Washington? Okay, look, man, listen,
I don't know how to talk to you, because I
really I don't know you, and I ain't trying to
start nothing, but you asking a lot of like stupid
(10:57):
questions to me. See, your wife got the answer to
all these questions, but you done rode into steven Sherley.
The first question is who's putting gas in her in
her who's filling up her car? The man that brought
it back to the parking spot. Does her company provide
(11:23):
her free gas and car washers?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What company you other than fed X and ups give
you free gas? But they're gonna put gas in their truck. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I know companies that give you a gas allotment, that
give you a fuel reimbursement. I know that, but I
don't know nothing else. Or is another man taking care
of her knees? Well, right now you already know somebody
(12:01):
taking care of them cars. Needs you need to find
out if he's filling up the other tank too, if
he checking the dipstick, if he's checking her oil, if
he up in there changing her transmission here and L
(12:27):
putting in an extra one, she'll wash her for you.
If he and L working on her timing? Yeah, if
he got that carburetor over, somebody in there revving up
that engine, that's what you need to find. Is it
(12:51):
cool to tell her that I drove to her job
and I know she been lying?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Is it cool? Boy?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Let me take some and that man pulled up in
that parking lot. This a whole nother letter. I don't
even understand how you set down and waited on her
to come out, to get in her and follow her home,
I got all I need.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Who the hell was in that car?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Now, Shirley said, you should have asked him. I probably
would have said, oh yo, my man, how you driving
my wife's car? But I would have been prepared at
that moment that this fit to get fizzle.
