Speaker 1 (00:25):
Nephew's subject, Why is my husband so darn nice?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Here?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Stephen Shirley, My husband has become less of a pain
in the butt over the past year. He's going to
church with me and he's cooking again. I'm not sure
what came over him, but it was great until I
realized he's even nicer to people outside of our home.
We were getting groceries a while ago and he actually
carried a lady's groceries to the counter because her hands

(00:52):
were full. I would not have been side eyeing him
if he went and got her a basket, but he
actually left me to go so help her to get
to the register. That was one of the many strikes
he's had lately. He overtipped our cute young server and
winked at her. He looked at me, she looked at
me in disgust when he winked. I asked him why

(01:13):
he gave her a fifty dollars bill, and he said
she might need the extra money. He has volunteered himself
to do things around the neighborhood, and he actually does
the stuff. I asked him if the Lord himself spoke
to him, and he said that he's just blessed and
he finally found his purpose. I just hope his purpose

(01:34):
is not with another woman, because he's been visiting a
lot of single moms in our neighborhood to do odd jobs.
I say that because he's nicer to be around, and
he's still not a big fan of having sex. He
still rations out the intimacy. I'm not stupid, So I
started following him around On the weekend. He spent time

(01:55):
in his office and there were a few cars in
the parking lots. I drove by a few times, and
each time there was one car that was there the
whole time. His car was there, and it was gone
when his car left.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
My old school.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Daddy said to beware if that's the case, because another
woman has put that spring back into my husband's step.
Is that true? Why is he so darn nice? Now, Well,
listen to your daddy, your old school daddy. That's the
best advice I can give you straight out. You know,
first off, he said, beware. In other words, believe what

(02:32):
you see and feel. I mean, yes, it's nice to
be nice and to help people, and all that kindness
from others is a lot of what the world is
missing today, society is missing right now. And here, your
husband is going out of his way to be kind,
winking at waitresses, giving them large tips, helping single women

(02:52):
in the neighborhood do odd jobs for it. He's doing
odd jobs for them and leaving your side at the
grocery store to care area woman's groceries to the counter. Boy,
that's nice, really really nice. I mean that in and
of itself doesn't make him a cheater or anything like that.
But his behavior does raise a red flag. If your wife,

(03:13):
if you're a woman and all that, it's suspect. I mean,
we gotta admit that. So you need to decide.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I mean, keep.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Following him so you can if you need some real
hard evidence to decide of his so called purpose. It's
truly him being nice to these women or having relations
with them and cheating on you, you know, because as
a wife, him doing all these things for other women
is not gonna sit. Well, it doesn't. That's the first
thing you'll think of, is cheating Steve.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, well, well, surely dlle what she usually do. So
let me go and try and keep this little family together.
Home record came through with that cannonball to shot everybody
the hell after that response, good luck family, y'all when
y'all gonna get this paperwork started, but is obviously put

(04:01):
it into motion. So why is my husband so darn nice?
I could truly say, after listening to this letter, I
really don't know. I kept looking for some telltale signs
in here, and I just don't know. Now Shirley said,
keep following me. Whoo, that's busy man. If I got
to follow you, I don't need to be with you.

(04:24):
If I got to follow you, I ain't no man.
So why is my husband so darn nice?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
He's become less of a pain in the butt. Okay,
that's a odd way to start the letter. He's going
to church with me and he's cooking again. Okay, all
this is with you. I'm not sure what came over him,
but it was great until you realize he's even nicer
to people outside your home.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Y'all.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Was in the grocery store getting groceries. He saw a
woman trying to get to the counter. She had her
hands full. He helped her take all that stuff up
to the register. I don't see nothing wrong with that. Now,
you say you don't mind him helping him, But then
you decided the best way he could have helped her
was to go get her basket. He shouldn't have carried

(05:17):
that stuff up to the counter in his hand. Boy,
that's a little petty on your part. Now, you telling
him maybe he didn't think to go get to Maybe
she looked like she needed to help now, so he
just carried up to the register.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I don't really see nothing wrong with that one.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
But he don't stop that old Now, this is why
I'm questioning the guy, because he's just a little bit stupid.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
He overtipped this way it get done. He overtipped the
cute young server and winked at her. She looked at
me in disgust when he winked. I asked him why
he gave her a fifty dollar bill, and he said
she might need the extra money. God, now that is
the beginning of a benefit package.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh, I know how they start.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
You've got the Bronze package, the Gold package, and the
Platinum package.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
This fifty dollars bill.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Is how you enter into the negotiations for the bronze package.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
But the young girl looked disgusted. Why is his old
ass giving me fifty dollars in front of you?

Speaker 4 (06:29):
He's stupid. He's so damn stupid. I don't think I'm
being fixed this, but we will come back.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
I try.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Hang on, We'll have heartwo of Steam's response coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour Today's Strawberry letter
subject why is my husband so darn nice?

Speaker 3 (06:49):
We'll get back into it right after this.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
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 2 (07:09):
Biker creeping up beside you.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Fortunately, every Honday offers advanced safety features that can alert
you to potential dangers around you.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
That's right, because Hondai is always working to ensure 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 (07:31):
All right, come on, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter,
the subject why is my husband so darn nice?

Speaker 4 (07:39):
I really don't know, I'm lady. I can tell you
right now, I don't know what's going on. Some stupid
messes going on. Now. You helped the lady at the
grocery store, carried her groceries up to the counter, all
the way.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
To the register, and left you.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
You said you wouldn't have looked at him side eye.
If he went and got the woman in a basket.
She was obviously struggling with the stuff right then and now,
and going to get a basket, she probably would have
the step.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
So I didn't see nothing wrong with him taking it
up to the count. You did.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
But here what it got stupid, y'all. At a restaurant,
little fine little waitress come over. He give her a
fifty dollar bill and then wink at her. Okay, now,
you stupid. You turned around and ask him, why did
you give him a fifty dollar bill? He said she
might need the extra money. Well, that's a pretty broad

(08:27):
who don't need no extra money. That's beginning of the packages.
That's how you start offering him on the package. But
she don't want the old man because she looked at him. Well, look,
you got three packages. You got a bronze package, you
got a gold package, you got a platinum package. It's
when you're dating a woman and you see it a woman.
What she qualifies for was the package. The opening is

(08:47):
the fifty dollar bill, to see if you needed any
extra money, she would say, if the wife wasn't there,
thank you so much. You don't know how much this
has helped me. I really need that. Oh this molid
that comes from. And so when you go back in
the restaurant again, next thing, you know, you know, take

(09:08):
a hundred.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know, then.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
She might be really appreciative of that hundred, and then
you that's the bronze package. I'll give you some financial
assistance every now and then. Now I'm gonna come over
and make sure that you're all right. Check on to
make sure you locks and stuff. It's on your dose.
So anyway, well that's done that. Yeah, he got busted
because he did in front of it. Now he's volunteered

(09:33):
himself to do things all around the neighborhood and he
actually do the stuff. The lady asked him. Has the
Lord himself spoke to him? And he said, he's just
blessed and found his purpose. So now he's telling you
his purpose is to help people. So now he going
around the neighborhood and helping out all of the single women.

(09:57):
You better help somebody, boy, And he's been visiting a
lot of single moms to do. Odd job. What you
mean odd job? If you're over there visiting a single woman,
anything you do gonna be odd. What's you changing her
light bulb for?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
That's odd?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
What is you helping set the temperature on her refrigerator for?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's odd?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
What did you in there washing out her bath to
her fall? She needed help? Yo? Here washing her car?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's odd.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
So now he's still rationing our intimacy too. And I'm
not stupid. So I started following him around for the weekends.
And now Sureley said, you should keep following you. And
then he spent some time at his office. There was
a few cars in the parking lot. I drove out
a few times, and each time there was one car
that was there the whole time.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
His car was there, and it was gone when his
car left. Damn, how many times did you circle? You
got a lot of time. My old school daddy said
to be waffed.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
That's the case because another woman has put that spring
back into my husband's step. Is that true? Why is
he so darn nice man? Well, I could go with
the Lord has changed, and the Lord has spoke to
him and he has found his purpose. I would like

(11:30):
to go with that one. The problem, the problem I'm
having it what is the purpose? See if the Lord
just showed you your purpose, show it?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
What is the purpose that ain't no damn purpose?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
To help them to be nice?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
To be.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
You're there, lady.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'm gonna teach you one thing about men. We don't
do anything for nothing. Whenever we do something, it has
to have an end and the end goal, because other
than that, it don't make no sense.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Men are not that way and we're not that clever.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
You're not nice by nature. You're saying will help you
for one you want something if you're going to be
nice to.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Us that I'm over here washing your car, washing your because.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
You want that big payoff at the end. Who I
watch sometime?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah it ain't because I like shiny.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Cars, right, baby, should give me a kiss.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
All the single women in the neighborhood. He over that
doing job.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
And he tell you our trash every every Wednesday morning
when the trash man come. He up early, going down
there taking out Keisha's trash for me.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Because he knows what.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Because I know this for a fact about men, everything
we do.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Has a purpose.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay, well he said he has a purpose.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
He said, what is the purpose to help help lady?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
H Wow, that was the lady at the grocery store. Way, well,
thank you, so she can give him a thank you maybe.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh yeah, that's what we're talking about now, uh huh,
thank me.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
All right, boast your comments.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
