Speaker 1 (00:26):
Nephew's subject a masterpiece without piece or a piece. Okay,
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm writing in for my twenty nine
year old brother and hopes you can help him out.
He calls his girlfriend a masterpiece, and I have to
agree that she's almost perfect and the prettiest girl he's
(00:46):
ever dated. He fell in love for superficial reasons and
has not taken the time to get to know her.
His girlfriend works as a model and an Instagram influencer,
and she makes great money. She's got a natural body
and curly red hair with big pretty eyes. She is
a stunning woman. But she's turned my brother into a
(01:07):
different man. He's been sleeping on my couch for a
week because she put him out of his own house.
He's a techie, so he makes great money and that's
what attracted her. He's given her money for skin and
teeth enhancement, so he helped create that masterpiece here. Recently,
she stopped having sex with him and told him her
(01:28):
body is a temple for her husband, and since he
won't marry her, then he can't touch her. I agreed
with her on that, So I'm in the middle of
something that I have no business being in. My brother said,
there is no peace living with this woman. Her life
is taking photos, going out to clubs and restaurants and
traveling to make money. He's in love with the idea
(01:50):
of her, and quite honestly, I.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Think she's cheating on him.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I want him to get a backbone and put her
out of his house if she's that bad. Being the
gym that he is, he said he can't just uproot
her like that. He remains faithful to his masterpiece, but
he can't even get a piece.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
One day he.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Wants to break up with her, and another day he
wants to buy a ring and ask her to marry him.
I feel bad for him, but I want him off
my couch. This woman has to hold on This woman
has a hold on him. So how can I make him,
help him make the right decision. Well, you can't, you can't.
This really has nothing to do with you. But he's
(02:33):
your brother. You care what happens to him, and he's
on your couch, so you are involved by default. But
he's really not being a man in this situation. I mean,
clearly you said in a letter he's in love with her,
Your brother sprung on his so called masterpiece girlfriend. I mean,
who is this fine that they can make you leave
your own house, your own house that you pay the
(02:55):
mortgage for. H Okay, So in this case, not until
he's had enough, and can he stand up to her
or catches her cheating like you think she is, will
he be able to break up with her? I mean,
it's just as simple as that, because he's got it
real bad. I mean, you said she's beautiful, she's got curves,
big pretty eyes, curly hair, all of that. You know,
(03:19):
as his sibling, you could shake things up and try
putting him out of your house, which would force him
to go back home. But please know that he'll be
mad at you for a while, and when he should
be mad at his girl, the masterpiece, but again.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
He sprung, so I just wouldn't count on that.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You know, Try giving him a deadline of when he
has to be out of the house and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I mean, he's a grown man. He's not your responsibility.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think you should let him figure this out in
his own house.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Steve his boy twenty nine years old. Twenty nine, that
ain't old enough, y'all. That ain't old enough to do
all the things that I'm about to tell him he
needed to do, because he twenty nine and he can't
believe what has happened to him. This boy is so
(04:11):
messed up because he cause his girlfriend a masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (04:19):

a different man. He's been sleeping on my couch for
a week because she put him out of his own house.
He's a techie, so he makes great money and that's
what attracted her. Okay, so everybody's attracted for superficial reasons.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter,
the subject a masterpiece without peeth or a piece.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Hmm, Well, this woman is writing for her twenty nine
year old brother that's falling in love with this masterpiece.
Supermodel influence on Instagram, pretty hell, pretty eyes, red current,
natural body, the prettiest girl he's ever dated. He didn't
have some flowers though, but this one right here top
(07:57):
the cake. She likes him because he's a tech and
he make great money, and that's what attracted her. So
both of them are attracted for superficial reasons. He's giving
her money for skin chief enhancement, so he's helped create
this masterpiece. Now, she didn't stop having sex with him
because she said her body's a temple for her husband
and since he won't marry her, he can't touch her.
(08:18):
The lady had wrote the letter, say I agree with
her on that. So I'm in the middle of something
I have no bus as being in. Well you're really
not in the middle of it. You allowed yourself to
be drugging into the middle of it, but really not
your business.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
This is your brother business.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Now I'm gonna get to what the brothers should do
and you should do, but your brother not gonna do
what I'm about to do it, because you got to
be a little bit older to do what I'm about
to tell you to do. And he twenty nine, and
he sprung, he not gonna be able.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
To do it.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
She too fine for him, She's way too fine. My
brother said, there's no peace living with this woman. Her
life is taking photos, going out to clubs, restaurants, and
traveling to make money. He's in love with the idea
of her. And quite honestly, see right there, she said,
he's in love with.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
The idea of her. It's the concept. I got her.
Everybody want her, but I got her.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But what you have, dog is nothing because you don't
even like your life with her, because it's taking photos,
going to clubs and restaurants, traveling to make money. I
want him to get a backbone and put her out
of his house if she's that bad. Being the gentleman
he is, he says he can't just uproot her like that.
(09:33):
Now here's a problem you're saying that. And did I
read the part in the letter about he's been sleeping
on my couch for a week because she put him
out of his own house. Now that's interesting to me
because it's more to this story than you let known too.
She put him out the house. If y'all not sleeping together,
(09:56):
he could just sleep on his own couch.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I'm assuming that their house has a couch.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's one of the primary articles of furniture that you
buy with the first vent.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Everybody want a couch.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I don't hear nobody talking about apartment without a couch.
First thing you need is a bed. Right after that bed,
you need a couch. You got to have somewhere to
sit other than that bed. That couch normally is in
front of a TV. This just in every house I've
ever been here. If it's TV up on the wall,
(10:30):
I can promise you a couch in.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Front of it.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
If it ain't something wrong, ain't nobody just putting no
TV on the wall. Ain't got no couch?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Now?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Why am I saying that he got a couch at
his house? Why he didn't just go sleep on the
couch while they worked through this. Her body is a
temple thing. Why did he get put out.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Of his own house?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
That was her seeing how much power she had over him,
and he gave it to her.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now he at your house.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
He remains faithful to his masterpiece, but he can't even
get a piece. Then you say, one day wants to
break up with it, the other day he wants to
buy ring and ask him to marry him. I feel
bad for him, but I want him off my couch. Well,
put him off your couch. If you put him off
the couch, what are you gonna do? You say, you
make good money, go back and live on your own couch.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
See him and her gotta work this out.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
The woman has a hole on him, So how can
I help him make the right decision? All right, here's
what you could say to your brother, or you can
record my voice and play this back to your brother.
First of all, I would tell your brother that he
sprung and he's in love with the concept of this
supermodel Instagram influenza, fine chick with the red curly hair.
(11:45):
That's got him all messed up. He's tatter taste of
the forbidden fruit, and now she just snatched it away
from him. He wants the fruit back. That's power. She
handling her beds, and she controlled them. Now I would
ask him, do you you really want more of this life?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Because if you marry this girl, this is the life
you gonna get.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Because she's not gonna stop being who she is cause
she making money and she not gonna stop for you.
She not gonna stop now and she not gonna stop then.
So you have to ask your brother, who one day
wants to break up with it, another day wants to
buy a ring? Is this the life you really want?
Do you want more of it? Because I have news
for you, sir. Nothing changes after marriage. You have to
(12:29):
understand this. Nothing changes after marriage. Everything that's wrong before
the marriage will be magnified after the marriage. So all
these problems you have in right now this don't touch me.
Is you gonna live over your sister house? This you
get out this? I like club and I like photos,
(12:51):
I like traveling, I like money. All that's gonna stay
the state gonna stay the same, Your young.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Brother, here's what you have to do.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
You're gonna have to muster the stript to play offense,
because right now you on defense. First of all, I'm
not leaving my house. I'm sleeping on this couch. I'm
not gonna touch you, even though I want you, dally,
I'm not gonna touch you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But I'm twenty nine and I'm single.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I'm gonna touch somebody, all right, Steve, thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
He's not gonna do none of that because.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He's doing love. He's run, all right.
