(00:21):
Buckle up and hold on tight. You got a point
you here. It is Strawberry Letter. Thank you nephew. Subject
I really love our mail man. Dear Stephen Shirley, My
husband of fourteen years must be losing his mind because
he cheated on me once and I took him back,
so he's got to be crazy to do it again
at this stage of our lives. We got our marriage
(00:42):
back on track after his affair, and I haven't I
hadn't suspected anything else was going on until November. He
started going to bed early and getting up before I
got up, so we couldn't have sex. My intuition told
me to keep an eye on him, and my intuition.
Intuition never fails. My husband is cheating again and the
(01:03):
woman lives in Maryland. They met in the airport when
he went to see his dad in October. My husband
has gone to see his dad at least six times
since then because his dad has been in and out
of the hospital. I bet you want to know how
I found all of this out. Well, it was our
mailman that indirectly exposed him. See what happened was my
(01:26):
husband used to have a po box and he closed it,
but he forgot to forward his mail, so it was
piling up at the post office. Our sweet mailman put
all of his mail in a box and he brought
it to our house. He said he figured my man,
my husband would want all of his mail. I went out,
(01:46):
I sat out on our front porch in my robe
and slowly opened each envelope. The Maryland woman had sent
a Christmas card to my husband saying she couldn't wait
for him to jingle her bells. She sent enough of
card with a picture of her and a dog on it.
There was a credit card statement with charges made only
in Maryland, and there was a cell phone bill, so
(02:07):
I guess he has another phone. He swears he's not
seeing her anymore. Should I believe him? Or should I
go to Maryland with him?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Next?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Time. Can he be trusted? I love the mailman for
doing this, but my husband wants him fired. Okay, here's
a question. If your husband's not guilty of anything, if
he stopped all of this, why does he want the
mailman fired. I mean, the mailman's job is to deliver mail, right,
(02:37):
and he did that, and now your husband wants him
out out of his job. You know that doesn't make sense.
It's not right no matter how you look at it.
You talked about trusting your intuition in the letter and
how it has never failed you. Well, why are you
doubting yourself now? Plus you've been through his cheating before,
so you already know the signs. Do not doubt yourself. No,
(03:00):
you shouldn't believe him. He's blaming the mail man for
bringing you the mail again. That's a mailman's job. You
know what it is?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You said.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
He swears he's not seeing her anymore anymore. That right there,
to me says it all. He's broken the trust again
in your relationship, and if you keep taking him back,
you'll probably keep cheating because you're gonna just take him
back anyway. You even have credit card and cell phone
bill receipts. You have all the proof you need, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'm trying to figure out what the letter is about.
I'm trying to figure out what it is for. What
advice does she want from us? What does she need
to hear from us? I don't understand what the writing
of the letter is even about. Right, everything that you
need to know, you have the information. I don't even understand. Okay,
(03:53):
let's try. You've been married fourteen years ago. Your husband
cheated on you once you took back, so now you
say headne got crazy, so he doing it again.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
After you got your marriage on track after his affair.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I hadn't suspected anything else was going on until November
that he started going to bed early and getting up
before I got up, so we couldn't have sex. Okay,
all right, What then, my intuition told me to keep
(04:32):
an eye on him, and my intuition.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Never fails me. Okay, cool.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
If your intuition told you to keep on him, and
your intuition never fails you, why are we typing this
damn letter. I'm just not understanding because I don't even
have your intuition and I'm already with you. Okay, here
we go. My husband is cheating again, and the lives
(05:00):
in Maryland. Now, listen to this right here, They met
in the airport when he went to see his dad
in October. And how the hell do you know that
this intuition you got is this psychic? Because how do
you even know that? I don't even know how you
would know that information. The only way you would know
(05:22):
this information is your husband would have had to have
told you that unless somewhere in these letters you discovered
this information. They met in the airport when he was
going to see his dad. My husband is going to
(05:44):
see his dad at least six times since then because
his dad has been in and out of the hospital.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
That he ain't went that sixth time.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Though, because his dad has been in and out the hospital.
You know, normal, if somebody sit, get out the hospital,
you gonna cool. You ain't got to go see him.
He'd have been six times.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What he live twenty they live.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Now. If he live in the DMV, going over to
Maryland ain't nothing. But if he live in Georgia, that's
a trip. Now at this point in the letter, almost
stop because we're gonna come back.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Normally, this juncture right here when you say the mail
man brought it to the house, and then the title
of the letter is I really love our mail man.
I'm thinking, as most male men, that he'd been dropping
off packages.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah, you'll find out when we come back.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
All right, thank you, Steve. We'll have part two of
your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.
Today's strawberry letter, subject, I really love our mail man.
We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Hey, look, you can't let the urge to sing your
favorite songs while you're driving distract you from that truck
drifting toward your lane or that lane splitting.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Biker creeping up.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Besides, fortunately, every Honday offers advanced safety features that can
alert you to potential dangers around you.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's right, because Hondai is always working to ensure it
the road doesn't get you. Hondai vehicles have won over
one hundred and twenty IIHS Top Safety awards from two
thousand and six to twenty twenty four as of December
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is I really love our mailman.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Well, this letter is a deceptive letter, but she's got
a husband that's cheating on her.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
They've been married fourteen times.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
She took him back, but now she said he crazy
because he doing it again.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
And this time.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
She hadn't suspected anything until November, and he started waking
up early before she got out to bed, so they
wouldn't have sex in the morning. Okay, I don't know
what that's about. And then she says, my tuition never fails.
My intuition never failed. And she thinks he cheating again
because she say, and the woman lives in Maryland and
they met in the airport when he went to see
(08:07):
his daddy in October. Now how you know this information?
I don't know, But later on you tell us. I
guess you all want to know how I found all
this out, and you damn skippy, we do, because that
ain't no information. I would see him walking in the
house going, hey, baby, you know I met this fine
she can the airport going to see daddy. You know
daddy has sitting out, and I went, I was in
(08:27):
the airport sitting there waiting on. Man, you should have
seen this thing. When she walked up said Lord, look
at this gift for God. I'm pretty sure he didn't
say that. So anyway, Uh, well, it was our mail
man that indirectly exposed him. Seeing my husband used to
have a peel box and then he closed it, but
(08:48):
he forgot to forward his mail, so it was piling
up at the post office. Our sweet male man put
all his mail in the box and brought it to
our house. I be damn again. I can't believe little
mister helpful and brought this mail.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
To my damn house.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, he said, I figured the husband want all of
his mail. Now here's the good part about this. At
least the mail was sitting at the post office and
your husband never got the mail. You see, So your
husband may have the perfect out right here. He may
have the perfect out because, first of all, who still
(09:28):
write letters?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
When is that? How old are these people.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Who's still sending Christmas car You know all this can
be done on the computer.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Now, physical Christmas cards they do.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Old people, young people press a button and you open
it up and it's Mary Christmas with explosions and all
this help. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Yeah, he got a pill box.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And she still ma mail and letters? Do you know
how old these people got to go? Because the lady said,
we got our marriage back on track after the affair,
and I had to suspected anything else going on, she said,
must be losing myr somewhere in here.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
She said, he's.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Talking on because at the stage of our lives, at
this stage of our lives, it's got to be a
late stage, because who the hell is mailing letters?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Who?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Who?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I'm the oldest person on this show. And guess what,
I ain't wrote a letter, and I don't know damn when.
So anyway, anyway, the Maryland woman has sent a Christmas
card to my husband saying she couldn't wait for him
to jingle her beils. She sent another card with a
picture of her and her dog on it. That was
a credit card statement with charges made only in Maryland.
(10:48):
And that was a cell phone bill, so I guess
he got another phone. He swears he's not seeing her anymore.
Should I believe him? Or should I go to Maryland
with him next time? Can he be trusted? I love
the mail man for doing this, but my husband want
some fire. Well, let me straighten you out on a
couple of things right here. First of all, if the
husband has not seen these letters, it could be because.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
He don't care. He doesn't care, He don't.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Care, and maybe she was sending the letters in hopes
of getting him took care because I can't wait for
you to jingle my bells. Here's a picture of me
and the dog. But he'd have left that mail sitting
down there at the mailbox.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
He is more than unconcerned about these letters.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Because they've been piling up for a while, which I
think is his perfect out to justify the statement he's
not seeing her anymore because he left them letters down there,
and all you got is them letters.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Now that credit card bill and that phone bill? Where
you need to do? You need to find this?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
You say your guess is a cell phone because you
saw a bill where sat where sack? And if he
ain't been down there, and while he ain't got that bill,
he ain't paid it. That cell phone ain't on no more.
You can't not pay your cell phone bill. They cut
that thing off. So I think, based on this letter
right here, then he's clear. At least he has an
(12:25):
alibi to go with, and which is all I can say.
He ain't been done, he don't care about it, He
don't check the mail, he ain't paid his cell phone bill,
he ain't seen this woman here, I no communication with
this woman. Where is the fact? Where do you see
them communicating?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That him in the lady. Well, how about when he
went down there fixed signs to visit his dad? You yourself, he.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Was seeing her in, He was seeing her in, but
he said, I'm not seeing her anymore. He said that,
And and letting that mail sit down there, and not
paying that cell phone bill.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
There's a good sign that he not. But he has
seen her.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Six times at least make his dad once.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Well he saw his dad here every time, because that
would be then alibi. Did you see your son? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
He just left him right all right.
