So writ us right us. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you. Here it is. It is
a Strawberry letter, Thank you, not for you. Subject. My
cousin owns the car wash.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a twenty nine year old hopeless
romantic and I got married too quickly to a man
that I barely knew. Now all of my family is
in my business, and I'm so disappointed in myself. I
met a man that's from another city, and after we
dated for a few months, he came to visit.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Me and never left.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
He quickly got a great job and he got settled in.
He has a friend in town, so he's usually hanging
out with him or he's at work. I never suspected
he was cheating on me until three days ago when
I found out that he's had sex in his car.
My cousin owns a car wash and he specializes in
(01:16):
wheels and detailing leather seats. My husband's escalade is his
pride and joy.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So he gets washed often.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I did not know he was going all the way
across town to get his car washed until I got
a call from my cousin's wife. She said, my husband
has brought his truck to the car wash a few times,
and he's always got interesting stains and pieces of weave
all over the truck. My cousin figured out that it's
my husband after he saw a business card in the truck. See,
(01:47):
my cousin wasn't invited to my wedding because he is
on the ghetto side of my family, so he didn't
know my husband.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I just hate that.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Before my cousin's wife called me, she called my mom
and told her that my husband has been having sex
in his truck and getting it cleaned. Afterwards, I asked
my husband about the rumor, and he threatened to fight
my cousin and out him as a liar and a
bad businessman. I assured him that my cousin is not
(02:15):
the one to be played with like that. If my
husband is not cheating. Why would he be so upset.
I don't see my cousin hating on my husband for
no reason since my family knows, can my marriage survive this? Well,
you really don't have much of a marriage to survive anything.
(02:36):
You know, you guys don't even spend a lot of
time together. You said he's over at his friend's house
or he's over at work. It sounds like your man
is cheating and everyone knows it. Your family is messy,
and you are right. Your cousin's wife didn't have to
blest the business to your mom. But you said yourself
that you barely know this man. I mean, you barely
(02:56):
knew him when you married him. He's probably doing what
he did when he was single in that other town,
but you didn't know him then, so you don't have
anything to compare his behavior to. And when you asked
him about it, he didn't deny it. He didn't say
absolutely not, no, he didn't blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
He didn't even try to lie.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
He just didn't deny it and said he was going
to give your cousin a beat down. It looks like
your husband is cheating, not if he's cheating like you
wrote in a letter. Steve, that's what you need to
wrap your mind around. Your marriage is in trouble, and
I don't see how you're going to get past this one.
Let's see what kind of lies we can come up
(03:36):
with for this one, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Well, I don't think it's really got to be no lies,
because if obuous analyze this letter properly, I mean, let's
go through this circumstee times has this circumstance. M see,
we deal with circumstance. Okay, watch how we do this.
(04:00):
This woman says that I'm a twenty nine year old
hopeless romantic. I got married too quickly to a man
that I barely knew. Now, I don't know if this
is the definition of a hopeless romantic. This is not
what this is. I think this is called crazy. This
may just be crazy. He might not have nothing to
do with you being a hopeless romantic at all, because
(04:22):
you married a man you didn't hardly know what what
what they got to do with it. And I'm so
disappointed in myself. Now, all your family's in your business.
You say, you say you met this man from another city.
Y'all dated a few months came to visit me and
never left. That didn't sound stric That didn't seem strange
(04:42):
to you. How can a man come from another city
visit you and never go back.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Where he worked, where he lived, where his house? What's
what's his least payment? What? What's it?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He ain't got no lease, no way? What how you
just go visit and then don't go back. That's not
being a hopeless romantic. Something's wrong with this. He quickly
got a great job, okay, settled in, He got a
friend in town. He usually hanging out with him, or
(05:23):
he's at work. Then the lady said, I never suspected
he was cheating on me until three days ago.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now here's what this whole letter is about.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
My cousin owns a car wash. And then I don't
know why she threw this in here. He specializes in
wheels and detail and leather seats.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So I got a car washed. Everybody got a car.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Wash, wiping seats and doing wheels. Everybody with a car wash. Anyway.
My husband's escalate is his bride and joyce, so he
gets it washed often.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Here's another precarious line.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I did not know he was going all the way
across town to get his car washed. What what difference
do that make where he get his car washed?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
What?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Maybe it's because it's a great car wash. Remember your
cousin specially line has in wheels.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And love.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He went over there for a specialty. And all of
this was going good until you got a call from
your cousin's wife and we come back. I will tell
you what's wrong with this whole letter, all right, Steve?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, hang on for part two of Steve's response,
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's
Strawberry letter, subject my cousin owns.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The car wash. We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening to Steve hard Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
All right, See, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter,
the subject my cousin owns the car wash.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Before I do this letter, I've noticed a trend in
Surely and I's responses to these letters. If a man
is accused of cheating, if a man has circumstantial evidence
about cheating, then my partner in crime, who we are
supposed to give our own opinions and separate, looks at
(07:29):
this ninety eight percent of the time gonna ride his
to the police station and lock his up for cheat. Absolutely,
and in this letter there was no difference.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
But I have several problems with this letter, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So after she calls herself a romantic, hopeless romantic, meets
this guy, she barely news. Guy leaves town one time,
comes to visit her and never goes back. That's odd.
He gets a job quickly settles in. She's embarrassed by
this because now she met a man she hardly knew.
The family all up in the business and so everything
is going right, and she had no suspicions of him
(08:06):
cheating until three days ago when he took his card
to a car wash that specializes in wheels and leather seats.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, we got that right. Now, she gets a.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Call from her cousin's wife. Now this is where the
letter takes a turn. She said that my husband bought
his truck to the car wash a few times, and
he's always got interesting stains and pieces of weave all
over the truck. This is what your cousin's wife said.
You've never seen the weave in the truck, and you've
(08:39):
never seen any stains.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, that's just a fact.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So we're going based on what your cousin's wife told you.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now, listen to this.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
My cousin figured out that it's my husband's after he
saw a business card in the truck. Now, and then
here we go. See, my cousin wasn't invited to my
wed because he's on the ghetto side of my family,
so he didn't know my husband.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
This is very important information.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
She didn't invite that side of the family because they ghetto. Okay,
then she says, I just hate that before my cousin's
wife called me, she called.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
My mom and told her.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That my husband has been having sex in his truck
and getting it cleaned afterwards.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, how she know that, y'all? I mean, really, the
stains and the weeds, the stains and the weed that
the wife ain't never seen.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
You just said they ghett on you and invite them
to the wedding. Now, I'm gonna show you something else
in here that gets a little crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So that's pay that because they didn't come from to
the wedding, they didn't get no.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I asked my husband about the rumor, and he threatened
to fight my cousin and out him as a liar.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And a bad businessman, as he should.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I assured him that my cousin is not the one
to be played with like that. Now this is good
information because you just said you did invite your husband
to the wedding because he ghetto.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Cousin to the wedding because he ghetto Okay, And.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So now this is a fair warner.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
If you go over there and fight the dude that
on the car washing, go get your whoop.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That's that's what this is about. Get your who But.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Now she's saying, if he didn't cheat, why is he
doing this? But I assured him that my cousin is
not the one to be played with. Why would he
be so upset. I don't see my husband hating. I
don't see my cousin hating on my husband for no reason.
Since my family knows can my marriage survive this? Now,
(10:51):
I think you know that your family on that side
is messy. And this woman has spect elated, and there
has some stains and weave in the truck that you've
never seen, and now you ain't invite us to the wedding,
So you must thank you all that in the bag
(11:12):
of chips.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So now let me show you that you ain't all that.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And I'm gonna tell your mama he was having sex
in the truck.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
How you know that what stains?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
But see, just because she didn't see it, does that
mean that it didn't happen?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But so then you're going to end your marriage based
on that she has has what stains?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Surely the stains that the cousin saw in the back seat.
What Yeah, she didn't specify.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
She didn't specify because yeah, but see though, let me
ask you something. So does the cousin's wife work at
the car wash?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Well it sounds like she does.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, so if she ain't washing cars, how she knows
what's be cause no doubt if he owned the cars
car washed, that his wife is out there washing cars.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I doubt that.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
This reeks of hate for not being invited to the web.
I don't see y'all ruining your Well. Look, you married
the man too soon. The man might be cheating, But
you gonna end it on this speculation. You should have
ended it on something that you knew and not on hearsay.
And if you take it, if you took this to court,
you would lose. I just want to tell you that,
(12:44):
because you have no evidence, you ain't seen no pictures
of it. You ain't went through his phone, You ain't
got no text messages. You getting a DNA report off
of forensic science. Hell for that, ain't even a forensic scientist.
And I don't think the man might not be cheating
in all.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Sorry shit, and he might be. Sorry Steve.
