Speaker 1: Thank you nephew. Subject he was sleep on the back seat.

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. I got a call that my husband

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: was sleep in his car behind the bar that he

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: goes to on Friday nights after work. I pulled up

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: on him there and he was asleep in the back

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: seat with the windows cracked. His pants were unbuttoned and

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: his shoes were off. I tapped on the window and

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: he did not budge, so I hit the button to

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: unlock the car. Then he jumped up and screamed. I

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: told him to get out of the car, but he

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: refused to. He said that he did not know how

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: he got there. I should lead because it was not

22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: safe for me to be there. I told him I

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: wasn't going anywhere until he got out of the car.

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: He sat up and put his shoes on, but still

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't get out. I closed the car door and went

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: and sat in my car. He started texting somebody, and

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: out of the corner of my eye, I saw a

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: white lady approaching his car and then suddenly turn around.

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: At that same time, yeah, uh huh. At that same time,

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: my girlfriend called me and said she was parked in

31
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the back and had her eyes on me in case

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I needed her help. I was so clueless, so she

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: explained that she thinks my husband was about to get

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: it on with the white woman in his back seat.

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: I hung up, and I went inside and found the

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: white woman. She said she was going to have security

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: escort me out because I was dead wrong about her

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: wanting to be with my husband. When I got back

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: outside to my car, my husband was gone. He was

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: home in the bed when I got there. He said

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: he left to avoid conflict. He told me that he

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: was very disappointed that I pull that's done, and he

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: was only trying to sleep off the liquor before he

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: drove home. Does my friend's story sound right to you

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: or does my husband's story sound right to you. This

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: all sounds crazy to me. From your husband in the

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: back seat and him telling you to go home because

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: it's not safe for you to him, then leaving you

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: there and going home to, in his words, avoid conflict.

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: I thought it wasn't safe for him to leave you there.

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Everyone in this letter is suspect except you, your husband.

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: This mysterious white woman who threatened to call security on you.

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: By the way, why was she walking to your husband's

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: car and turned around when she saw you? Your friend

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: called from out of the background somewhere and startled you.

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: And why was she there spying on your husband?

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Anyway?

58
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: What is going on here? I wouldn't trust any of

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: their stories, but your husband is the only one who

60
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: owes you an explanation because you're married to him, and

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: you know you won't get the truth out of him.

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, because if he was just there trying to

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: sleep off the liquor, why didn't he let you in

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: his car? And why was the white woman coming his

65
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: way until she saw you. No one can make any

66
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: of this make sense. And I can't believe he just

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: left you there. I mean, what kind of husband does this, Steve.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: Make me proud though, won't even like there won't even

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: that's so concerned about this entire letter. I've never seen

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: so much stuff go wrong that I can't write. I don't.

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: I just want to say to anybody out there that's

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: hanging on to me for hope with this letter right here,

73
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: let it go, let it cold, give up all hope.

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: O this right help him. I can't help you. This

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: is so wrong on so many damn levels. I got

76
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: a call that my husband would sleep in his car

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: behind the bar that he goes to on Friday nights

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: after work. Now, let's step this letter right here. She

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: got a call from who now that must be her friend,

80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Her friend who called that. That's kind of crazy right there.

81
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: I pulled up on him and he would sleep in

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: the back seat with the windows cracked. His pants were

83
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: unbuttoned and his shoes were off. You mean his pants

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: was unbuttoned at the top and they was unzipped, or

85
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: he had on fly button front pants. That ain't what

86
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: you wear when you're finish do something in the back seat.

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: You don't wear button fly pants. I can just tell

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: you that right now. It's too hard. You can't even

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: have to go to the bathroom real fast, because a

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: lot of times the button holes ain't been worked a lot,

91
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: and it's hard to get him off, and you can

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: peel on yourself.

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm just thank you that you want to throw out now.

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: He was sleeping in the back seat with the windows crack,

95
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: his pants was unbuttoned, and his shoes were off. I

96
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: tapped on the window. He didn't budge, so I hit

97
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: the button to unlock the car. Then he jumped up

98
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: and screamed. I told him get out the car, but

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: he refused to Wait. Wait a minute, dog, what you

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: tapped on the window. Yes, that's what I wanted. What scream?

101
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: It's several scripts? Uh that one? That one don't work? Oh,

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: that one. So he had to let out a blood

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: curdler JiTT you know, Freddy Krueger type chainsaw massacre. He

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: jumped up and screamed. I told him to get out

105
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: the car, but he refused to. He said he didn't

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: know how he got there. Now it's starting to shape

107
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: pretty good from the right hip. I like that angle

108
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: right here. I don't know how I got here. But

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: he didn't finish the lie. See after that was the

110
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: only time he had out. I don't know how I

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: got here. I'm drunk. He should have stayed right there,

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: but he did too much non drunk stuff. I came

113
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: in to help this man, and when we come back,

114
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna dig the whole deeper for him. I try,

115
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: but there's a white woman involved, so I really can't

116
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: be able. I can't help your stuff, white lady, This

117
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: white lady that missed it up for you, Pip, I can't.

118
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have part two of your response coming up,

119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Steve at twenty three minutes after today's subject of this

120
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Strawberry letter was he was sleep on the back seat.

121
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening

122
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Morning show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's

123
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: strawberry letter. The subject he was sleep on.

124
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: The lady got a call that her husband was behind

125
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: the bar he go to on Fridays at the work.

126
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: So you drove down that he would sleep on the

127
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: back seat. The windows was cracked, his pants was unbuttoned,

128
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: and his shoes was off. I tapped on the window.

129
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: He didn't budge, so she reached in and hit the

130
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: button and unlocked the car. Then he jumped up and screamed.

131
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: I told him get out the car, but he refused to. Okay,

132
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: so now he trying to hold a position. I'm not

133
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: getting out this car because obviously something if he'd just

134
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: stood up, would have been telling. So he had to

135
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: stay seated in this car. He said that he didn't

136
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: know how he got there. Now that this where it

137
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: was starting to take shape. I had hope for him,

138
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: but it died immediately. He said, I don't know how

139
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: I got back there. Then he said, so I should

140
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 2: lead because it's not safe for me to be there. Oh, oh, dog,

141
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: that's where your ass blew it at. You had to lie.

142
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: I don't know how I got back here, but you

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: should leave because it's not safe for you to be here.

144
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: That's the damn near dumbest thing you could have said,

145
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: because you know she ain't fit to leave. What he

146
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: should have said was I don't know how I got

147
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: back here? Who are you? Yeah? And Lisia, get away

148
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: from my door? How damn you? And then that would

149
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: have fit with the scream. See, but he didn't carry

150
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: that out. See here that this brother's lies. It's they're

151
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: not connected. So I wasn't going nowhere until he got

152
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: out the car. He set up, put his shoes on,

153
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: but he still wouldn't get out of the car. I

154
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: closed the car door and went and set in my car.

155
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Why you closed his car and went and sat in

156
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: your car. He started texting somebody, and at the corner

157
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: of my eye I saw a white lady approaching his

158
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: car and then suddenly turned around. Now, surely you said

159
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: he turned around when she saw her, but that's not true.

160
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: She turned around after she got the text, don't come

161
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: out here. My wife is in the car. The white

162
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: lady saw that as she was approaching the car and

163
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: turned around. Now you can hold strong that you don't

164
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: know this white lady. But this damn show coincidental. Though.

165
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: At that same time, my girlfriend called me and said

166
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: she was parked in the back and had her eyes

167
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: on me in case I needed her help. Now, your

168
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: damn girlfriend is parked in the back because she the

169
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: one called you and told you your husband was sleep

170
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Because she at the same bar. She tricky too. The

171
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 2: bar is called tricky time anyway, and everybody down there

172
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: is tricky. Everybody. Your your friend is tricky. He tricky,

173
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: the white girl tricky. It's trick stuff going on at

174
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: this bar, all right, I was so clueless. So she

175
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: explained that she thinks my husband was about was about

176
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: to get it on with the white woman in his

177
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: back seat. Let's just say she said he was gonna

178
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: get it on with the white woman. She said, so then,

179
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: now check this out. I was so clueed, so she explained,

180
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: she think back seat. I hung up. I went inside

181
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: this too much. This is you the guy in your car. Now,

182
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: you done went inside the bar, found a white woman.

183
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: Now you already know this didn't happen. She said she

184
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: was gonna have security escort me out because I was

185
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: dead wrong about her wanting to be with my husband.

186
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: You know, white people call the police. You know, white

187
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: women always called the police. Now and the police would

188
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: have took her side because you didn't even see her

189
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: talking to your.

190
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: Husband checked the phone.

191
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: After that, she said, you was dead wrong. When I

192
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: got back outside to my car, my husband was gone,

193
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: WHOA so much for you shouldn't be here. It's too

194
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: dangerous for you. Now listen to this. He was at

195
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: home in bed when I got there. That's just too

196
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: damn fast. Dog. Ain't nobody believing you done went home

197
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: fell asleep that fast after you just got home. She

198
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: got a hardcore, he said. He left to avoid conflict.

199
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: He told me he was very disappointed that I pulled

200
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: that stunt, and he was only trying to sleep keep

201
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: off the liquor before he drove home. Does my friend's

202
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: story sound right to you? Or does my husband's story

203
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: sound right to you? Let me ask you some lady,

204
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: do anything in this story sound right? He wouldn't get

205
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: out the car. His shoes was off. Now, I know

206
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: a lot of drunk ass people, you do, I ain't

207
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: never seen none of them have to take their shoes

208
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: off to sober up. That is not a requirement. So

209
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: right now, this lie is falling apart. White lady walk

210
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: into the car, got the text turned around. I can't

211
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: say she was going to get in the car, but

212
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: his pants was already unbuttoning and his shoes was off.

213
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: I think she was coming back from round two if

214
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: you ask me if the white woman was heading for

215
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: the car. But the whole problem with this letter is

216
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 2: it's a white lady in it. You can't get out

217
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,880
