Speaker 1: Thank you nephew. Subject how did that get in his shoe?

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, My husband and I have been together

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: for twenty four years and married for fifteen years. We

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: dated and broke up a lot in the past because

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: he's a cheater. He had sex with six women that

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I know of, and I'm sure there are plenty that

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about in the past fifteen years. He

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: said he's been faithful and he stopped all of the

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: messing around a year before we got married. My husband

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: has embarrassed me to no end, and my family still

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: has a problem with accepting him. I thought things were

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: going good and I kind of let my guard down,

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: but my family was right and I never should have

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: married him. I could be wrong, but all the evidence

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: points to him cheating again. He is a handyman and

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: a painter on the side, and I schedule his side

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: jobs for him. He has been helping an electrician put

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: lights on a lady's deck around the corner. He came

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: home last Friday with his clothes in a grocery bag

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: because he was too dusty to get back in his

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: car in those clothes. He came home in his gym

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: clothes and a pair of slides. I saw his work

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: boots out on the front porch and I went to

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: get them, because it's ghetto to have big, dirty boots

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: in front of our house. I heard something rattling in

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: one of the boots and I shook them and a

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: bald up condom wrapper fell out of the left boot.

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: The wrapper the wrapper was still sticky, so that tells

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: me that he'd used the condom within the last two hours.

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm heartbroken because he failed me once again. He said

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm wrong and he did not cheat. He keeps begging

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: to talk to me, but why so he can tell

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: me more lies? Is it time for me to go

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: or should I hear what he has to say, well,

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: besides catching him in the act, I mean literally catching

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: him in the act. I don't know how much more

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: proof you need. You found the Siki condom in his boots.

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Why would someone huh, not anyone else's boots but his

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: your husband. And this is of course where Steve would say,

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: that's why you got to lie and all of that.

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: But your husband can't lie his way out of this one.

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: What is he going to say to you? You have

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: evidence he was cheating before you married him. You know

53
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: that you knew it then. So now that you have

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: something else tangible with this condom, do you think he'll

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: ever stop cheating? That's the question. Wif he, do you

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: think he's ever going to stop? And what are you

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: going to do about it? That's really all I have

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: to say.

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Steve go.

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: A condom wrapper?

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that was still Yeah, come on, gross?

63
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: What help I try to help men, you know, because

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: you know, but he too old for this. You know,

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: if y'all been together twenty four years, married fifteen, I'm

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: assuming you got to be forty at least. I'm just

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: assuming that we dated and you say you broke up

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: a lot because he's a Cheatah, he had sex with

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: six women that I know of. I just don't know

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: how you accepted six times. You know, I'm I'm good

71
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: at helping me and get out of stuff. But you

72
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: you willing to accept you, lady, the problem in this

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: letter is you just accept too much. You accepted the

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: six women that you knew of, but you are sure

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: that there are plenty that I don't know about. Okay,

76
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: kind dog, lady. In the past fifteen years, he said

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: he'd been faithful and he stopped messing around. Okay, my

78
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: family still got a problem with accepting him. But I

79
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: thought things were going good and I kind of let

80
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: my guard down. All right, were going along, but my

81
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: family was right, then, she said. Right after I let

82
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: my guard down, she said, but my family was right.

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: I never should have married him. I could be wrong.

84
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, hold up, lady, I'm confused with the

85
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: wording of your letter. I thought things were going good.

86
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: I kind of let my guard down, but my family

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: was right, and I never should have married him. Period.

88
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: Next sentence, I could be wrong, but all the evidence

89
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: points to him cheating. Again, Well, what evidence you got, lady. Now,

90
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: he's a handy man and a painter on the side,

91
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: I schedule his side and near my mind went blank,

92
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: because if you're dealing with a man that cheats a

93
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: lot six times, you'dnbusted him. You pretty sure as more.

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: You didn't get away, and you said.

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: I scheduled his side jobs, Well else seemed to me

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: like you scheduled inside chicks.

97
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Also, ooh ooh, because guess what you did? He been

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: helping the electrician put lights on the lady's deck around

99
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: the corner. Came home last Friday, closed in a grocery bag.

100
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: What now, I don't done some things in my day,

101
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: but I ain't never came home my damn closed in

102
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: a grocery bag because he was too dusty to get

103
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: back in his car. Okay, that's a good answer. Came

104
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: home in his gym, closed, and the pass slides.

105
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Okay, what you gotta say about those slides, Well, you.

106
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Pretty much got to explained where you changed. You closed

107
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: that because you was just around the corner at this

108
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: lady's house. I saw his work, boots on the court,

109
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: and then all hell broke loose. Yeah, Steve, we found

110
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: any damn boots.

111
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Well, get to your response coming up at twenty three

112
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: minutes after today's strawberry letter, subject how did he get

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: that in his shoe? We'll get back into it right

114
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: after this. You're listening Morning Show, All right, Come on, Steve,

115
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is how did

116
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: he get that in his shoe?

117
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: Quickly? She's been dating a man that she knows as

118
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: a cheatah for years before they got married. Six women

119
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: at least she'd have forgave him for she say she's

120
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: countless others she didn't. They've been married now for fifteen

121
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: years together twenty four. Family always had a problem accepting him,

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: but she let her guard down. But she wished she hadn't,

123
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: because she say her family was right. But then she

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: said I never should have married him. But then right

125
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: after that, she say, but I could be wrong, But

126
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: all the evidences pointing to him cheating again. He is

127
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: a handyman on the side. She scheduled all his side jobs.

128
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: But she scheduled a side job around the corner on

129
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: the side. It just so happens that the gig on

130
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: the side was over a lady's house. He was helping

131
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: out in an electrician wit on the side. You came

132
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: home or with no clothes on. They was in a

133
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: grocery bag. He said he didn't want to get in

134
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: his car because it was dusty. Good answer, But you

135
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: came home where you left your work boots out on

136
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: the poach because you didn't want to come in the house.

137
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: Here is where all the hell broke loose. I reached

138
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: and to have the dirty boots in front of our house.

139
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: I heard something rattling in the boots. I shook them

140
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: and a balled up condom wrapper fell out of the

141
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: left boot. The rapper was sticky, So that tells me

142
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: he had used the condom within the last two hours. Right,

143
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 2: here's where we have to get out of. What a

144
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: lie could you tell that this condom that's in your

145
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: boot you don't know how got there? How what lie

146
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: can you tell that that is not your condo?

147
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: What?

148
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: These are the lies he must conjure up? So wait

149
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: what I want to hear here?

150
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: It is the.

151
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Lie he should have come up with. It's gonna be

152
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: a doozy. Them ain't my boots, those other electricians boots

153
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:40,359
Speaker 2: we got the same boot. He done accidentally took my boot.

154
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm going over here right now and get my boot

155
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: back and I'm going with you now you ain't because

156
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: I had a boots tomorrow. That's the only thing. And
