Speaker 1 (00:25):
Letter, subject, Thank you nephew. How does she know your nickname?
Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for five years and
i had a baby in December, so I'm eager to
get these few extra pounds off. Pilates has always been
my thing, but my pilates instructor moved to another city.
My husband loves his class at the gym, so I
(00:46):
asked if it's worth me giving it a try. He said,
his class is full and there's a waiting list because
his instructor is the best. I'm a member at his
gym too, so I went by one day and enrolled
in any classes I could take. I ended up in
a pilates class with a nice older lady. But after
one session, I realized I'm too advanced for her class,
(01:08):
and she agreed. She suggested I sign up for the
other pilates class, so I did. It was just my
luck that there was not a waiting list like my
husband said there was. I called my husband to tell
him how happy I was to be in his class.
He didn't seem happy at all, and he said that
I can't be distracting him while he's in the class.
(01:30):
I'm not gonna lie. I did not like his reaction,
but I was still happy. I went to class the
next day, but my husband wasn't there. I enjoyed it,
and the instructor is a cute, petite Latina with curly
red hair. I ran into my husband as I was
leaving the gym, and I didn't realize that my pilates
(01:50):
instructor was behind me. I told my husband that I
love the class, and then the instructor popped out of
nowhere and asked if quote Bugs had recommended the class
to me. Bugs is my husband's nickname. I responded, yes,
he did. She thanked me for coming and said see
you later. To Bugs, all he can say is that
(02:12):
a lot of people call him bugs, so it's no
big deal. He said, see you later is a universal greeting,
and it didn't mean later that day. I don't buy
any of that. Is she giving my husband bugs more
than Pilate's lessons?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Well, you know what, I'll say this. You never know
because you have no evidence, you have no receipts. It
could be yes they did something or no. There's just
some sort of attraction between them. He was right, see
you later is universal, But why say it just to him?
You know that was kind of suspect. We all know
women see and feel things that men don't, and you're
(02:50):
sensing some sort of energy between them, because what is
clear is that she was very familiar with your husband, Bugs,
and your man was not happy about you joining the class.
Why why wasn't he happy about you joining the class?
She had no clue you were his wifey, and he
certainly didn't say anything or introduce you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Guys, all you're.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Trying to do is get back in shape, and he's
not being supportive at all. What's he mad about? What's
going on? Why? You know, what is the problem here?
If you weren't in shape? I'm sure he had, he
would have something negative to say about that. So I
say to you this, whatever you do, stay in the
class so you can keep your eyes on them, and
(03:33):
remember you are doing this for you, trying to get
back in shape. Meanwhile, Bugs and the little pilate's instructor
need to cool it whatever they got going on. If anything,
Bugs better stop disrespecting you before you get back. Fine.
And he winds up on the couch.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Okay, Steve on the couch.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, he's acting all funny because she's in this class.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know, Sureley, I'm just gonna give your answer.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Nah, your answers is always jaded, and it is rediculous
that the level you was stooped to to break up relationships,
you have done more to in relate.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
He ain't did nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Now I'm gonna break this letter down and I'm gonna
show you where he wrong, and I'll show you where
she wrong. You've been married for five years, you had
a baby in December, so you're eager to get the
few extra pounds off. That's okay, that's understood. You know
what happens when you have a baby. Congratulations. By the way,
pilates has always been my thing, but my pilates instructor
(04:52):
moved to another city. My husband loves his class at
his gym. Now I'm assuming this is pilates. Yeah, so
I asked, it is it worth me giving a try?
He said, this is what he said, his class, fool,
and it's a waiting list because his instructor is the best.
(05:13):
I'm a member at his gym too, So I went
by and enrolled in any class I could take.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Now is the problem with that?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Your husband should have given you his spot in the class,
because what did you do? You gave him a child.
You need the pilates class more than him. You've been
through more than him. You just had this baby in December.
The decent thing your husband would have said, well, hey, baby,
you take my spot at the class. Gonna get yourself together.
(05:44):
I know how hard that must be, but I would
love you. You should have my spotted. That's what he
should have did. So you went by to enroll in
any class that you could take. You ended up in
the polates class with a nice old lady. But after
one session I realized I'm too advanced for her class,
and she agreed.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Now this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So this woman who just had this baby is obviously
in shape because she's an advanced pilates That means her
leg go all the way back up there by her
ear that type thing right there, that ass out you've
been finding out about yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's something in PILATEI.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It was just my luck that that wash she suggested
I sign up for the other pilates class. Now the
other one. Guess what you did it? And when I know,
I'm going to tell you that your husband was in
that damn class. Ah.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at
twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject
how does she know your nickname? We'll get back into
it right after this. You're listening hard Morning show. All right,
come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is,
how does she know? Oh your nickname?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Hm?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Well, this lady Mary five years just had a baby
and she wanted to go get the extra pounds off.
She wanted to go take a polates class, but her
polate's instructor had moved.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Out of town.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
So she has a gym membership at the same gym
her husband had, and so she asked him about his
polates class. He said, his class full and it's a
waiting list because his instructor is the best. I said,
what he should have done was say, hey, baby, you're
trying to get in shape, let me give you my space.
(07:31):
Gone down there, get yourself together, because you thene gave
me a baby, You done gave us a family. You
did what I can't ever do, So let me do
something for you. That would have been the gentleman thing
to do. But no, he told her the class was full.
So she went down there to the gym to sign
up for any class, and they ended up taking the
Politi class with a nice old lady. After the first session,
(07:52):
she discovered she was too advanced for the class, and
the lady agreed.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
She suggested she sign up for the other class. And
guess what. It wasn't no waiting for it. But guess what,
it's the POLATEI class your husband was in.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And it was just my luck that that was not
a waiting list like my husband said.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It was God.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Though I called my husband tell him how happy I
was to be in his class.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
He didn't seem happy at all. Dun dun dunt du
dun dun dunt du.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
He said, I can't be distracting him while he's in class. Boy, boy,
I'm not gonna lie. I ain't like his reaction, but
I was still happy. So I went to the class
the next day, but my husband wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Oh, oh, how convenient. I don't know what kind of
relationship y'all got.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Y'all don't ever know where each other at, and my
husband wasn't there. I enjoyed it, and the destructor is
a cute petite lati excuse me, The instructor is a cute,
petite Latina with curly red hat. I ran into my
husband as I was leaving the gym, and I ain't
(09:11):
even realized my plate's instructor was behind me. I told
my husband I loved the class, and the instructor popped
out of nowhere and asked if Bugs had recommended the
class to me, Bugs is my husband's nickname. I responded, yes,
he did. She thanked me for coming and said see
you later. She says see you later. To Bugs, all
(09:33):
he can say is that's lots of people call him Bugs,
so it's no big deal. He says, see you later
is a universal greedy and it didn't mean later that day.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Good answer, bugs, you proud of him?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah? Hug dog go on it. That's fast thinking. I
didn't buy any of that. Is she giving my husband
bugs more than pilates?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Listens? Your question should be, is bugs taking mold than pilates?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Is bugs doing his pilates without the machine?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
How far back do the bugs leg go?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It bugs acting as a reformer himself for the little
petit red curlly head leaftina. These are the questions you
should ask, But that ain't the one you asked. So
therefore I'm a side with bugs. See you later means
just see you later at the class. Now did it
sound like something else?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yes? It did you know it?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
But just cause she knew that nickname, bugs don't make
him guilty. Now if his nickname was no Tip, now
we got problems. How would she know your nickname no Tip?
See if your nickname is no till ye black people
give nicknames cause of a discovery, how would she know
(11:07):
to call you no Tip?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Dimple? But dimple? But is another nickname that you would
have to.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Have? You know something had had hair happened? You know
you know your nickname d t. You know what I'm
saying dt. That's that's something right here. You know fat

dead giveaway. Bugs is short for june bug. All of
us know a june bug. It's a very common name
(12:02):
in the right.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Steve, Yes, why didn't he Why didn't he introduce his
wife to the instructor when she came out? Why didn't he?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Just because my wife? The instructor was behind the wife.
He didn't see her. She petite, the white big just
had the baby.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But she came out. He did hear her, and she
did talk to the wife.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, she popped up from behind the wife. I know
she ran to her husband on the way out to gym.
The instructor was behind her. The lady didn't know the
instructor was behind her and said, I enjoyed the class
mm hm.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And she said, oh, did Bugs tell you about it?
Did he recommend it?
