We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Nephew, Thank you. Subject. I'm in love with a beautiful liar.
J Stephen Shirley. My girlfriend is a liar and I
keep catching her telling lies about the smallest stuff. When
we met, she lied to me about where she lived,
like I wasn't going to ever see where she really lives.
She explained that she was embarrassed because she lives with

(00:46):
she still lives with her parents. I got past that
lie and I made sure she's comfortable at my house.
But the lies continue, and I had to pump the brakes.
Even though I told everybody she was going to be
my wife. She had weave for the first eight months
and I had no idea it wasn't her hair I'm
a barber, so I'm not sure why she tried to

(01:08):
hide it from me. I know not to touch a
woman's head, so so I know not to touch a
woman's head, so I didn't know. She also has had
a breast lift and was bragging about them like she
was just blessed to still have perky boobs at her age.
She had to tell me after I discovered a scar
I overlook a lot. After eight months of dating, she

(01:31):
told me that she has terrible credit and she has
filed for bankruptcy. I'm cool with all of that, but
I've been open and honest with her. She knows that
I have financial issues from time to time as a
business owner, and she always says she has my back
and she's got a lot of money saved, even though
I don't need her money. I don't understand why she

(01:52):
lied like she's got it. Her sister came over for
dinner Sunday and she said, my girl is a fake
it till she makes it till you make it a queen.
I need to fully understand who I'm dating. So I
sat her down to talk to her. She said, there
are no more secrets. Then today she called and said
that we need to talk. We are not going to

(02:12):
make it if she keeps on lying to me. This
is really bothering me. How do I work things out
with this beautiful liar? Okay, first of all, you guys
have only been together for eight months. Nobody's going to
just tell you everything, spill their guts in the first
eight months. I mean, your letter is clear. It sounds
like you don't like liars and you would love it

(02:33):
if this woman would just come clean and be honest
with you. But you're putting up with it, right, You
said you got past the little things. The question is
why you know if you're so set on you don't
like liars. I think the answer here is pretty pretty simple.
You put up with her lies because she's beautiful, plain
and simple. Or Steve and the guys on the show

(02:53):
say she fine, dogs, she fine, and you, sir, just
can't get past the fineness. Lies and all you findess
cover up a multitude of sins according to this philosophy,
to that philosophy. But you say you want the truth.
It sounds like she is giving you truth. She's just
given it to you on a need to know basis.
Like I said, you guys, have been together, not not

(03:16):
that that long. So what if she didn't tell you
she wears a weave? Does she have to tell you that?
I mean, so what if she didn't tell you she
had a breastlift in the past.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't understand why she has.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
To tell you that is she supposed to tell you
everything that happened to her in her entire life, the
credit and bankruptcy bankruptcy stuff. She did tell you she
was She was open and honest about that, I mean,
all of her personal stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
She doesn't owe you that.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
But you got to know that a woman needs to
feel safe and secure before she just starts, like I said,
spilling her guts and opening up to a man like that.
Does she feel and are you a safe place for her?
Will you not use it against her? At some point?
She's got to, you know, be sure about these things.
And even then she might still take some of the

(04:07):
things to her grave.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
So that's what you're dealing with, Steve.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Thank you, Shirley. I don't know where you got this
crazy response from. You just gave.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
You siding with this woman because she's a liar. She's
a liar. You who always ask me, why do me
and lie. You who asked me why I lie and
then fully set up here on this show and supported
a liar.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
She is lying.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Shut it.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I know, yeah, you're the expert.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Why would you sit up here and act like this
woman ain't lying because you're trying to justify She don't
owe you this and she don't.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Owe you that.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Souse.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
She didn't tell him she wore a weave. She's a liar.
Come on, did he ask her?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's so many times do woman lie? Let me just go.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
My girlfriend is a liar, and I keep catching her
telling lies about the smallest stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
When we met, she lied about where she lived.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
She explained to you after you busted her that she
was embarrassed and she still live with her parents, so
she lied and said she had her own place. I
got past that. It made sure she was comfortable at
his house. But the liares continue and I had to
pump the brakes. Even though I told everybody she was
gonna be my wife. He thought he had a good thing.

(05:34):
She's had weave for eight months that I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It wasn't her hair.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
I'm a barber, so I'm not sure why she tried
to hide it from you. Well, most women try to
hide the fact that it's a weave, because that's the
idea is you want to make it look like it's
your hair. Everybody tried to hide it. If you weren't
gonna hide the weave, you wouldn't worry about where them
tracks was. You would actually do your hair in your

(06:00):
cubicle if you wasn't trying to hide it.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Everybody hides the fact that his hot hair.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Or weave or extension or a wig.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Then you said, I know not to touch a woman's head,
so I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, cool, that ain't no problem.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
She also had a breast lift and was bragging about
them like she was blessed to still have perky boobs
at her age. Then you discovered the scar she lied
about that. Just be grateful that she got to breast job.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Okay, with the big deal, some gratitude here.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, we'll have heart two of your response coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters
subject is I'm in love with a beautiful liar.

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

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show. I've heard us talk about
the benefits of Globe Life Insurance. Globe Life has been
protecting families for generations. Globe Life is easy to buy,
with rates starting as low as three dollars and forty
nine cents a month. There is no medical exam, just

(07:13):
a simple application called Globe Life Today at one eight
hundred two five one fifty four hundred, or visit Globelife
radio dot com again, that's one eight hundred two five
one fifty four hundred or Globelife radio dot com. All right,
come on, Steve, Let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject
is I'm in love with a beautiful liar.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Well, she lied about where she lived at first because
she was embarassed.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Did she stayed with her her?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Now, the part about it, she didn't tell you she
had a weave. You said you were barber, you not
know not to touch people's heads, so you didn't discover it.
And it lasted eight months. So she did a good
job of concealing, which is the idea of a weave
is to concealing to make it look like it's real.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now, she was talking about her.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Breast being perky, and you thought she should have told
you that she had a breast lift. But you discovered it, boy,
because you found a little scar. Quit looking under there.
Stay on the top and in the front where you belong.
You're picking stuff off, looking all up under the bottom
of lead. That's what a scar had leave along all right. Now,

(08:26):
that wasn't a problem. Then after emunc a Dayton she
told you she had terrible credit. She filed for bank rushing.
You said, I'm.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Cool with that.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Now you're cool with the weed, You're cool with the
perky breast, and now you're cool with the bank rubts.
She knows that I'm financially lit you some timetime because
I'm a business owner. She says, she got a lot
of money saved, even though I don't need her money.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't understand why she lied like she got it.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Her sister came over for dinner and suddenly and said,
my girl is a faking tea making queen. I need
to fully understand who I'm dating. So I set her
down to talk to it. She said, ain't no more secrets.
Then today she called and said we need to talk.
My name is not really when it's Calvin. I don't

(09:24):
know what is going on. I don't know what she
want to talk to you about today. But it's gonna
be shocking. We are not going to make it if
she keeps lying to me. This has really bothered me.
How do I work things out with this beautiful life? Well,
I'll follow you. I would get out now because the

(09:44):
lies are gonna keep coming. A lying woman is a problem.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
A lying man.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Is a problem unless the man lies.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
With a purpose. You have gotten to start attaching these
lies to the purpose. What was the purpose? Sure?

Speaker 3 (10:15):
What was her purpose for lying to him?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
She don't want to know, didn't want to know. That's
not that's not a purpose. Lying with the purpose you
have to have a deeper cause.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
No, no, if you're lying.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I just told Shirley, you can't tell me what the
rules is. You're not allied.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I'm telling you what the rules are of so kate
to lie. If you lie with the purpose, that's why
you lie. Shirley, you can't tell me. You claim not
to lie?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
What you do?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well, everybody I busted.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
You in lies year, I busted you.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Everybody lives. Everybody faked it till they make it. What
are you talking about? Everybody does that? These lives aren't major.
She got a weave, She had a breath lift, and.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm not I didn't think she lied about the weave.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
I think she concealed the fact that she was wearing
a weave, as it's the purpose of.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Having a weed to conceal it. So that's okay, that's
not really a lie.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
But he was mad about that.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, he said, why didn't she tell her? But he'll bob,
he ain't know. This lot is confusing. So the only
thing she didne lied about really is her finances. She
lied about her boobs. She she was lucky to have
perky boobs at that age. She probably is now she
ain't have. She ain't tell you how she got them perky.

(11:44):
But you are all up under that lifting stuff up,
just staying in front and on top like you pos.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's the best thing that I got from your.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
You looking all under that for Leavelaan.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's the best right there.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
But I really I was gonna say, you need to
break up with her, But really, dog, y'all just need
to get it all out. Even when you get it
out there, it's gonna be some more lines. So that's
just it.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
And if she feels safe, I mean they've been dating
eight months.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Nothing ain't no safe because it just keeps like. Let
me show you how to lie with the purpose. Ask
me a question.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Okay, is that your real mustache? Is that the real color?
No gray?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Oh, of course it's the real color. It's really black.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
But I mean, you know, if you don't put any
color in it or anything.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
No.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
See, listen to what I said. It is the real color.
It's real black. It's because that's the color that's on
the jest for me. Don't get jet black because then
you look like you use to do them commercial on
the informercial.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Them dudes that be wearing that jet black hat, get
real black. Huh, that's done. I just told you. See,
I lied with a purpose.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Next question, so, how tall are you?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Are you very tall?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Well, I know you're very tall, but.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Are you like I'm taller?

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Didn't average me? Okay, so see we have two average
men on the show.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Very average.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
