Speaker 1: thought it was on and popping. Thank you, nephew. Dear

28
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I'm married and in my mid forties, and

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: my husband turns forty in a month. He decided he

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: was going to have a guy's weekend in Mexico, and

31
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: then he would come back and we would celebrate together

32
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: with the small group of our friends. He got his

33
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: little plans together, and I was watching all of the

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: emails going back and forth. I'm not a snooper. He's

35
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: just not the sharpest tool in the box. He left

36
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: his laptop open, emails on the screen, no code on

37
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: his computer, so forth and so on. So if I

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: happened to see a few of his emails, it's his fault.

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: He was communicating with a female who was invited to

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: join him on the trip. He asked her to bring

41
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: a female with her, and she told him she was

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: bringing two of her friends so that his two friends

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: would be well entertained. He let her plan the trip

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: and they were going horseback riding, zip lining, and having

45
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: dinner on a charted boat ride. She emailed him pictures

46
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: of the girls she was planning to bring, and he

47
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: approved the girls. He started giving her money for airline

48
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: tickets for her and her friends. That's when I knew

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: it was time to put an end to this. I

50
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: emailed this woman from his account, and then I locked

51
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: him out of his account. She agreed to give me

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: a call and we talked for thirty minutes. She says

53
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: she was very sorry because she didn't know he was married.

54
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I figured she was lying, and I figured she already

55
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: bought her ticket for Mexico. So I hid my husband's passport.

56
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: He couldn't get into his email and he couldn't find

57
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: his passport, so he had to talk to me yesterday.

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: He actually had the nerve to curse me out for

59
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: emailing the woman and for messing up his birthday trip

60
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: and for making him lose a lot of money. Am

61
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I crazy or has he lost his mind? What do

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: I do now. First of all, we gotta say yes, yes, yes, yes,

63
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: yes go girl. Love you, I love you, and all

64
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: the women in the world love you for that. Yes,

65
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: oh you did your thing. Thank you, thank you, thank you,

66
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: and yes. He has definitely lost his mind to answer

67
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: your question. And he's really not mad at you. I

68
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: know you say he cursed you out and all that.

69
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: He's mad at himself for being so stupid, and he's

70
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: misdirecting that anger towards you. He tried to, you know,

71
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: get tricky with this, but but everything he did was raggedy,

72
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: leaving the laptop open, all of that, not having a

73
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: code for the computer. Everything he did was dumb, and

74
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: he got what he deserved. You found out through a

75
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: major wrench in his plans, hit his passport. He spent

76
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: all that money. Now he can't go on and go

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: on vacation with his side chick. He's so busted and

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: there's just nowhere to run. He can't hide anywhere. He

79
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: couldn't even think of a good old Steve Harvey light

80
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: to tell mmmmmm. And that's why he's trying to f

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: a bit on you. He has no right to be

82
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: mad at you, and don't let him do that to you.

83
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: You did nothing, okay nothing. We are very proud of you.

84
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: You are our leader right now. Okay, the truth basically

85
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: fell into your lap. And what were you supposed to do?

86
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: You were supposed to do just what you did, and

87
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: any other woman would have done the exact same thing.

88
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: So let him be mad. He's gonna just have to

89
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: get over it. Happy birthday whatever. I don't care if

90
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: it is his birthday. He's wrong for this one. He

91
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: brought it on himself. Steve, damn dog, damn, damn, damn, damn.

92
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: Come on, Florida, R. Don't well. He was gonna have

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: a guy's weekend in Mexico, then he gonna come back,

94
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: y'all celebrate together with a small group of friends, got

95
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: his little plans together. And I was just watching all

96
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: the emails going back and forth. He said, I'm not Snooper.

97
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Yes you are. It's okay. He's just not the sharpest

98
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: tool in the box. He left his laptop open, emails

99
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: on the screen, no code on his computer, so forth

100
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: and so old. So if I happen to see a

101
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: few of his emails, is his fault. You damn right

102
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: about that? You damn right about that lady you were snooping,

125
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: of friends. I didn't want to be there, so I

126
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't go to the party. Okay, you'll make it up

127
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,560

00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: that him. Yeah, anyway, got his plans together, and the

129
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: lady said, I was watching all emails going back and forth.

130
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a snooper, but he's just not the sharpest

131
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: box in the two tooling the box. He left his

132
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: laptop open, emails on the screen, no code on his

133
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: computer so far and so so if I happened to

134
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: see a few in meals, his his fault. You damn right,

135
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: it's his fault. Stupid can leave. He did this your

136
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: big fortieth birthday. You was going too big on this one.

137
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: You're so big, you dumb. So now he was communicating

138
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: with a female who was invited to join him on

139
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: the trip. He asked her to bring a female with her,

140
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: and she told him she was bringing two of her

141
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: friends so that his two friends could be well in

142
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: the team. He led up playing the trip and they

143
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: will go a horseback ride and zip line and having

144
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: dinner on a charted both ride. Broad Dog bawling on

145
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: the party bawling. He emailed him pictures of the girl

146
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: she was playing in the brain. He approved the girl,

147
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: check and check dog. He started giving her money for

148
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: airline tickets for her and her friends. Or are you

149
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: going to do this? Fart? Whoa but dog, your laptop

150
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: is open with no cold and the emails on the screen.

151
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: This woman then played it perfect. She got all her

152
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: information when he started giving her money. That's what I

153
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: knew was time to put into this. I emailed this

154
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: woman from his account. Then I locked him out of

155
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: his account. He agreed to give me a call. We

156
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: talked for thirty minutes. She said she was very sorry

157
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: because she didn't know he was married. I figured she

158
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: was lying, and figured she'd already bought her ticket from Mexico.

159
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Maybe she wasn't lying. That's don't matter right now. No

160
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: it or not, that don't change what he did. I

161
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: figured she'd already bought her tickets from Mexico. So I

162
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: heard my husband's passport. God, I love her. He couldn't

163
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: get into his emails and he couldn't find his passport,

164
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: so he had to talk to me. Here's what Shirley,

165
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Colin Neil was giving you kudos. They were applauding you

166
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: back before. I must admit this was the ultimated gangster movie. Yes, yes,

167
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: so he had to talk to me. Yeah, that's all

168
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: you get. Say. Now, I'm gonna tell you the first

169
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: thing you said, Faith, have you seen my passport? She said,

170
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Well that ain't all okay, So we're gonna do a reenact. Man.

171
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Shirley's gonna ask me about the trip, and I'm gonna

172
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: tell you how he should have lied. Oh good, okay,

173
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: because yesterday he actually had the nerve to cuss me

174
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: out for emailing the woman messing up his birthday trip

175
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the nerve, But the reason he cussed out was because

176
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: of the best defense is offense for making me lose

177
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money and my crazy or has he

178
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: lost his man? Yes, he has lost his mind. What

179
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: do I do now? I really don't know what you're

180
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: asking me for. What to do? Now? Hell? You ain't

181
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: you done enough? She done it? So I don't know

182
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: what else you could do. And now you did mess

183
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: up his birthday. But that's exactly what you were supposed

184
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, so now let's have a reenact. Man, Shirley,
