10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Subject she got him fighting for her. Dear Stephen Shirley,

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: my co worker and I have a strong bond. I

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: am what you would call his work wife. My work

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: husband and my real husband talk often, and since my

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: work husband is dating a scandalous woman, my husband has

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: been counseling him a lot. When my husband and I

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: met the girlfriend, she looked at us like we were

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: garbage and didn't deserve to be in her presence. She

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: was overdressed for dinner, and when the waiter offered us wine,

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: she said that she only drinks champagne. But the way

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: she broke all those verbs wasn't classy at all. My

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: work husband can't see it, though he's pea whipped and

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: he is talking about marrying this low budget, scandalous woman.

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: Whenever they are out. He's had to check several guys

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: for being overly friendly with her. It made me skeptical,

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: and I was right. She is the problem. She's a

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: big flirt and likes to make eye contact with men.

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: It's like she's insatiable and needs all of the attention

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: from every man in the room, even my husband. My

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: husband peeped it too and said that she always does

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: too much around him. This past Saturday was a telltale

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: sign that she's trouble, but my work husband is taking

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: her side once again. She works as a leasing manager

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: at a high rise building and my work husband popped

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: up at her job. There was a man in the

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: office yelling at her. When she saw my work husband,

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: she tried to get the other man to leave, but

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: he kept done cursing her out. My work husband stepped

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: right in and almost got into a fight with the man,

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: but the secure guards separated them. She never told them

40
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: who this guy is or why he was so angry.

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: She is very dangerous. Should we keep trying to help

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: him or should we stay out of this?

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Now?

44
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: I know you know the answer to this. You gotta

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: stay out of this. This is not your business. How

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: is this your business? Leave this one alone. You said

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: it best. He's just whipped right now. He's just whipped.

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: He's got to work through that on his own. When

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: he's ready to fight physically fight for someone like this.

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: His feelings run deep for her. If this girl is

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: trash like you say, he wouldn't be able to see

52
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: it anyway if you told him so. Don't risk your

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: friendship over her. Okay, the truth will come out about

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: her eventually, and when it does, that's when you, guys,

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: stand by your so called work husband, because he will

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: need a shoulder on which to vent. Then. As for you,

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: I just say, you know, mind your business, stay out

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: of this stuff. Let's you know that's them. You got

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: a husband of your own to deal with. And I

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: even would tone down the work husband thing in front

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: of your own husband. They might be friends now and

62
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: he might be cool with it now, but I just say,

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: leave that stuff at work and leave you and your husband.

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Leave that other couple alone, and stay out of their business.

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna do you any good, Steve.

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 3: I don't want to respond to this with them. I

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: think it's ridiculous. I think it's a waste of time.

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: Did an adequate job. Surely it's nothing we could do.

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: I don't even care. I just don't. I'm not even

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: gonna waste my time on this letter. I'm not gonna

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: break it down or none of that.

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm not.

73
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: First of all, this work wife, work husband thing. What

Speaker 3: this man whole life. I got to worry about.

89
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: One question, though, Steve, what about the fact that he

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: wanted to fight for her. He was gonna jump on

91
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: this guy that was cursing her out her husband.

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: Okay, look, I can understand a man being honorable.

93
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,599

00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: But the woman who wrote in wants to know should

158
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: she stay out of it because she and her real

159
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: husband see things in this woman. They think she's dangerous

160
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: and all of that. So she wants to know should

161
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: they keep trying to help her work husband or should

162
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: they stay out of it. That's the issue that's repons

163
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: to that.

164
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,280

197
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: make eye contact with men. Now, surely don't flirt, but

198
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: she do make eye contract, even by accident because them

199
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,679

202
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,080

Speaker 3: so thank you.

234
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: Brother.

235
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna stop because It's a promise I made

236
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: to you a long time ago when I was homeless

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: and struggling, and I told God, if you let me

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: make it, and when I get there, I was gonna

239
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: tell everybody about it. And so that's a promise I

240
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 3: have to keep. I have to open and everything. If

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: you watch Family Few closely on the daily basis, you'll

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: see in that I always sprinkle in something about the

243
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: God what He's done for me. Always this radio show,

244
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: no exception. Every night before I started my stand up

245
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: I say before I get started, I like to say

246
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: that God is everything.

247
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: Without God, I wouldn't be nothing, and then I would

248
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: start my show.

249
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: I've always been that way because I've always asked God

250
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: to let me make uh now and especially Detroit special

251
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: city to me. It was my favorite city to perform in.

252
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: Of all my cities, it's always been Detroit. Now, let

253
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: me say this about you wishing I was a preacher. Oh,

254
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: that probably ain't a real good idea of Brother pat

255
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: because you know I'm serving the Lord. I'm an army.

256
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm a soldier in the army for christ Ah. But

257
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: I got a different role. Preachers are in the ministry.

258
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: You got the nurses, guill you got the usher boy,

259
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 3: you got choir members, you got you know, people that

260
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 3: work in the chick in all types of ways. Those

261
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 3: are all roles in the army. Some people drive the

262
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: church van transport, some people on the nurses Guild.

263
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200
