Speaker 1 (00:24):
Thank you nephew. Subject if she knew what I knew.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married for twenty eight years.
My husband and I had our kids right after college,
so we are just getting to the point where we
can enjoy life again as a couple. The first thing
he wanted to do was try a threesome, and I
was down to try anything with him. I was surprised

(00:46):
by how much I liked it. That threesome led us
to try and group intimacy parties or swinging, and it's
a lot more exciting than threesomes. Now we are hooked
on swinging. In March, we stayed at a resort that
that has a swinger's weekend. We had so much fun
that we already registered for the twenty twenty sixth event.
I told my best friend about it and she registered too.

(01:09):
Since she has had not any luck with dating since
her divorce, I'm always trying to get her out of
the house or I invited her to a house party
with my husband and I. It was a real party,
not a swingers party, but I saw a guy that
I recently had sex with. I introduced him to my
bestie and they ended up hanging out all night and
exchange numbers.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Since then, they have been dating.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
She said that he has not tried to have sex
with her, and I can't believe it. He told her
that he's a lawyer and a youth pastor, he's never
been married, and he's a son. What he has not
told her is that he met me at a swingers
party and we've had sex twice. So I have not

(01:53):
mentioned it to her either. She thinks that she's met
mister Wright and has no clue that he's Hue and
he really is a good lover and he loves swinging.
My husband said, as her bestie, I should warn her
about this man. How do I tell my bestie that
I had sex with her perfect new man. Well, you know,

(02:14):
you just have to tell her. This is one of
those exceptions where you have to tell this woman because
he's telling her that he's a lawyer, a pastor and
all of this, and that's what you'd.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Think he is.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
You have no idea that he's a swinger. You, as
her best friend, can't let her go out like that.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
She needs to know.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
She needs to be the one to decide whether or
not she wants to be with this lawyer and pastor
and swinger. Okay, especially especially the fact that you know,
you guys have been together. You got to give her
that option. Usually I would stay out of it. It's
not your business, but I think this time you owe
it to your friend. You owe it to your friend.

(02:54):
And you know what's throwing me off about all this
is that all these rules and morals, all of a sudden,
you ating it now because you guys are swingers. And
does it matter who you've been with? Isn't that the
whole point of swinging, the whole culture?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Isn't that the point? So tell her? Let her know
what she's getting into. You know, she likes this guy.
He's being you know, he's not representing himself like he should.
And I think she needs to know, and I think
you need to be the one to tell her, Tommy.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Who he's swinging this moment?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
All right? And we got us an undercouple swinging packing
past and then what we got an undercoverles swinging packing past.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Wow, it's a lot, Did I say it right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right? And past is holding things in. He don't
want you to let He don't want the lady to
know who he is until he ready to lower the boom.
Because we got what we got.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
An undercover swinging packing pastor.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Uh, I think it's time right now that we let
Pastor say what Pastor I want to say. I think
Pastor coming from where I'm from, and and and and
and and and and looking at who I want to
swang with, because I'm looking at your girlfriend, who looks

(04:26):
beautiful to me. But I can't let her know what
kind of man I am, what kind of package I got,
because I.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Am the undercover swinging packing pastor. Good Man, that's who
I am. You don't want to see my package until
it's too late. And yes, we did have our relations
you and I, but if that's all over, now because
I like your friends. I want your friend, so right now,

(04:59):
right now, I'm gonna let your lady know, let your
friend know that it is time for me to reveal
that swinging packing past that you ready to see, because
she told you I was what packing.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I would love for the doors of the swinging house
to open. That might be a swing of to day,
that may be a swinger coming with several friends, because
as the lady stated that we got we we started
out swinging, but we like it when it's more people.

(05:43):
A lot of naked going on in this relationship. Now
you gotta understand this. And now this swinging has gotten
so good, we didn't already reserved ourself a naked spot
in twenty twenty six so that we can go and
be naked there. And guess what past gonna be there
when y'all get there in twenty twenty six. He's a lawyer,

(06:06):
he's a pastor, and he's packing. He got a lot
going on. He got to like, I mean, I hate
to see it. He reminds me of myself, just a
certain to a certain and just for a smidget, you know,
when he got to the pastor. You know, I'm not
a pastor, but just god, when we got when we

(06:26):
got to the packing part, I kind of do it.
You're gonna do that together at the same time. All right,
hang on, y'all go all at the same time.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Keep it right there, Keep it right there. Nephew.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
We'll have part two of our response to today's Strawberry
letter coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour.
Today's Strawberry Letter subject if she knew what I knew.
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Do you think astronauts fight over elbow room?

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Probably because advanced tech doesn't always mean more space. Until now,
introduce it the Hondai Ionic nine, a three row electric
suv with over three hundred miles of range, ultra fast
charging capability, and lots of space.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
The all new Hondai Ionic nine face in an EV

Speaker 1 (07:31):
All Right, guys, it's time to recap today's Strawberry letter.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
The subject is.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
If she knew what I knew this, woman wrote in
she's been married for twenty eight years. Twenty eight years.
She and her husband our have their kids right after college,
so the kids are grown now, they have their empty nesters,
and they're getting to the point, she says, that they
want to enjoy life again as a couple. So what's

(07:56):
the first thing they decided they wanted to do. Well,
have a threesome. Of course, doesn't everybody want to know
they wanted to try a threesome, all right, So she
said she was down to try anything with her husband,
and she was also very surprised at how much she
liked it. So the threesome rolled into swingers. Now now

(08:18):
they're full blown swingers and all of this, and they're
hooked on it. They went to a resort swinging resort recently,
and now they've already signed up for one next year
for that event that hasn't even happened yet, that's how
much they're into it. So she also signed her best
friend up for it. And her best friend, she said,
has had you know, she hasn't had luck with dating

(08:41):
since she's been divorced. So she invited her friend to
a regular party regular Smeggler not a swingers party or
anything like that. But when they went, she happened to
have seen one of the guys that she had sex
with twice. And funny as it would happen, the guy
liked her friend and they kind to hit it off.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
So her question, the woman who wrote the.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Letter, is should she tell her friend that, A she's
had sex with this guy twice and B he is
a swinger even though he told you he was a
pastor and a lawyer and a father, he's a swinger
for real. Yeah, yeah, he got a lot going on.
Her friend thinks he's mister Wright and he he loves swinging.

(09:23):
So she heard dilemma is should she tell her friend that?
And that's where we are. I think she, of course
should tell him. And because her friend has a right
to know, she can make her own decisions.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Uh, Tommy said, would you call him Tommy? He's the
swinging packing past Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
She also said that he's packing and he's very good
in bed. So Junior, what you got, well, I got?

Speaker 2 (09:48):

Speaker 7 (10:50):
How's this normal? What do you want us to say?
Y'all signed up for a whole other year. Yeah, yeah,
now you don't think I do know?

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I have went to dinner with my with a couple
that was swinging.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
I did, but when I looked down, I don't know
who wants to swing with them?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Why?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Did two one of the.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Most attracted people. I see why they're together. I know
why they're together. Fun attract to find unattractive.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I say, so, only ugly people swing is.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm not saying that the two I saw them, but
put you and your back to the dinner. How did
this happen? I gotta know, how did this happened? You
ended up at dinner with swingers?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, and my wife tells you you're not. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
We go to the Mixican restaurant, she says, Now she
knows how I am.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
She says, Hey, when we get in here, yeah, I
just want to let you know before we start sitting
down for these people.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Two of my friends is swinging.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
You just still pump that one, but she did.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
I'm going in here, I'm looking at everybody at to
tell you, I'm trying to figure out who the.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Two when I found it two? When I saw them
swinging on?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
What swinging on?

Speaker 2 (12:00):

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Swinging baseball bats, swinging, And I'm gonna tell you something.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Shut up?

Speaker 5 (12:06):
That does it? No?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
No?

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Then, no, I don't know who's swinging with them.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
There's no way because if they try us, I turned
this whole table, ask about me and see what happens.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
We had a misgan restaurant and be so much sauce
on you. There's no way. So I know, I know,
I said, this is not something I could do. I
can't see this so.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Well you don't know. I mean, twenty eight years later
you may have a difference of opinion like this too
much testing.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I don't think. I think we're missing a big picture.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
What is the picture? What's there?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I think the big picture is where is this in
twenty two and six and what they do it?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
We could go on you know.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
What I'm saying, where's this resort at? So I'm going
to stay there?

Speaker 1 (12:50):
How is that the first thing on your mind that
you want to do? Though, after after twenty eight years
of marriage, the first thing you want to try it?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
They've been wanting to do that. He been wanting to
do that first thing.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
They got the kids out of house, they're empty nesters,
and of the first thing you want. You don't want
to travel, you don't want to do any you just
want to threesome.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I'm not looking across the room at my wife. That's
not happened.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, what anyway? All right?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
So I guess we're all in agree and that she
should tell her best friend, though, because that is her question.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
I can't tell you if you should or not.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
List y'all gonna find out eventually, somebody goes knowing just
a second.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
