10

Speaker 1: before we can read its subjects. He's not subject. They

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: went to the place without me, Dear Stephen Shirley. My

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: husband claims he was trying to do something sweet and thoughtful,

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's backfired. It's backfired on him. He decided we

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: would go to an island for our tenth anniversary, and

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: he invited four couples to join us, but they didn't

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: give me any details about the trip because my husband

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: wanted to surprise me. Last weekend, my husband and my

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: husband informed me that he planned a trip to go

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: visit the hotel, check out boat rentals, and plan some

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: activities for our big weekend trip. He said it would

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: be a quick trip and he was taking his buddy

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: with him to help him plan everything. He left on

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Friday and texted me when he landed. It was a

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: long flight, so he said he was going straight to

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: his room and get in the bed. I didn't hear

26
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: from him until four pm the next day. I tried

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: to FaceTime him and he declined it. But then he

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: called me back on a regular call a few minutes later,

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: and it was loud wherever he was. Then one of

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: my girlfriends texted me a picture of a lady whose

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: name was Amber, on a boat in Cancoon. I don't

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: like Amber because she has been friends with my husband

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: for fifteen years and she acts like she knows him

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: a lot better than I do. I could not help

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: but think Amber was wherever my husband was. I called

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: him back to back. He didn't answer, so I sent

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: him at least ten text messages. He finally responded, yes,

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: Amber is helping me plan your weekend getaway, and yes

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: she is here with me. He got home later that

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: night and tried to plead his case. But I've ignored

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: him for over a week. He must think I'm stupid.

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: How could this place ever be special to me now

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: that he's taken Amber there, I told him to cancel

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: the whole trip. He said, I'm overreacting. Why couldn't he

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: Why couldn't he say that he was going with Amber? Well,

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: he did tell you that he was going with a buddy,

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: and Amber is a buddy, but you know, not the

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: kind of buddy. Of course, you know that he was

49
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: that you thought he was talking about. And Amber is

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: wrong and he is wrong. Absolutely, they're both wrong for

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: doing this. He didn't mention it because he knew you

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: would be mad and probably explode on him, and you

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: would be right, absolutely right. Your husband, though, who your

54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: husband is thoughtful, I'll give him that, but he's not

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: very smart. He's not smart at all. It was great

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: that he wanted to do something wonderful for your tenth anniversary,

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: but to plan it with this Amber chick, who he

58
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: knows you can't stand that is beyond stupid on his part.

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: How is someone you don't like gonna care enough to

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: plan a sexy, beautiful, awesome, memorable celebration for you? And

61
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Amber is stupid too for going over there in the

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: first place. And why wasn't he answering her phone while

63
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: he was all over there with Amber. This had disaster

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: written all over at the moment your husband included her.

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: And I don't blame you for canceling the trip or

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: being upset or anything. You're not overreacting. You're acting as

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: any wife would when their husband asks a woman you

68
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: don't like to help plan something special for you. Get

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: out of here with this. Uh, Steve, this is ridiculous,

70
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: you know this letter, man, It's just this is when

71
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: men do stuff so stupid that I can't help you. Dog,

72
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: I can't help you at all. Bro. I can't even

73
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: joke this one out now. I could tell you him

74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: about it. Stuff make you think, but it's it's not believable. Now,

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: let's just start at the bottom of this letter. The

76
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: subject is they went to see the place with Album.

77
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Her last line in this letter says, he says, I'm overreacting.

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Why couldn't he say he was going with Amber? Because

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: it is See we know why because of this he

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: he can't come out and tell you this thing, this

81
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: trip is went amble because all it is the letter,

82
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the reaction He want this, so he didn't mention amble.

83
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: Now does that make it right? This dude is so

84
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: dumb on so many damn levels. You know, Bros. I

85
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: try to work with y'all sometimes get y'all benefit of

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: the doubt, and I will when I can. But bro,

87
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: when you do something so blatantly stupid, man, I can't

88
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: help you. Man what you want me to do? I

89
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: got women that listen to this show. They didn't actually

90
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: care about Uncle Steve's advice. Now, most of y'all know

91
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: when I'm joking. Y'all know what I'm saying. Well, he

92
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: did this cause of that, and you know, you know,

93
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm just because sometimes it's so obviously stupid, but this

94
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: is beyond obviously stupid, because this had an element of

95
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: cunning involved. And this is the part where I don't

96
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: and I don't like it because it was a special occasion.

97
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: This is where dudes get in the most. He decided

98
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: that y'all will go on to island for y'all's tenth anniversary. Okay, great,

99
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: he invited folk keep people to join us. Now that's

100
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: called you know, he got split the costs of this

101
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: island and all this hill maybe or maybe you know,

102
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: they just wanted some company. And now all that's cool too,

103
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: But they couldn't give you any details about the trip

104
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: because my husband wanted to surprise me. All right, so

105
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: we come back. I'm gonna show you how he tried

106
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: to surprise you. All right, we'll have part two of

107
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: Steve's response. Can't wait for this coming up in twenty

108
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject they

109
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: went to see the place without me. We'll get back

110
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right,

111
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject

112
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: is they want to see the place without me. I'm

113
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna apologize to women out there that's listening to this

114
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: because I just can't even play around. I don't even

115
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: know where we're going with this right here. The question

116
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: she posed at the end of the letter was why

117
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: couldn't he say he was going with Amber? And because

118
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: of this, this is why he didn't tell you about Amber,

119
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: because of the reaction you have him right now in

120
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: this letter. And the part I don't like bro is

121
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: he used a special occasion to pull it off. This

122
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: is where the dog come in at and this is

123
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: what I don't like. So he decided we go to

124
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: an Island for our tenth anniversary. He invited Folk couples

125
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: to join us, but they couldn't give us any details

126
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: about the trip because my husband wanted to surprise me. Okay,

127
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: that sounds cool. But last week and my husband informed

128
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: me that he planned the trip to go visit the hotel,

129
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: check out boat rentals, and playing some activities for our

130
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: big weekend. He said, to be a quick trip, and

131
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: he was taking his buddy with him to help him

132
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: playing everything right here. Why would you say you taking

133
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: your buddy with you to help you playing everything just

134
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: right there? Dog? He shouldn't have said it, but he

135
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't have did it, because this is for your tenth anniversary. Man.

136
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: You don't take special moments and include trickery. Yeah, that's

137
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: why the doggish part come in that man, And that's

138
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: what I'm a little ticked off with you about. He said,

139
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: to be a quick trip, he's taking his buddy with

140
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: him to help him playing everything. He left on Friday,

141
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: text me when he landed. Okay, it was a long flight,

142
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: so he said he was going straight to his room

143
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: and get into bed. He did. I didn't hear from

144
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: him until Folk him the next day. I tried to

145
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: FaceTime him and he declined it. See why decline it?

146
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Just let listen to me, though. Decline it means you

147
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: saw it and hit the red button. Just let it ring.

148
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: It's gold. Stop. Why are you declining it? You never

149
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: saw it? Stupid, You can't sent of the manad. He

150
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: calls me back on a regular call a few minutes later,

151
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: and it was loud wherever he was. He was at

152
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: the club. And one of my girlfriends take me a

153
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: picture of a lady named Amber on a boat in

154
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,280
