We got it for you here. It is Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Let up, all right, nephew, you hold on tight too.
We're gonna hear from you in just a few The
subject is my boyfriend looks like his uncle. My boyfriend
looks like his uncle, all right, Dear Stephen Shirley. I
just moved to Nashville in January, and I found a
nice apartment and a new boyfriend. My older coworker introduced
(00:46):
me to her son, who had just gotten divorced. He
started showing me around town, and after a few weeks
of casually going out with him, we decided to have sex.
He needed it as much as I did, but when
he tried to come back for second I told him
that he had to be my boyfriend first. We've been
dating for three months, and I met some of his friends,
(01:06):
his father, and his uncle. He and his uncle could
be twins. They have the same hazel eyes and dimples
in both cheeks.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
They walk and talk alike too.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I told my boyfriend that he looks more like his
uncle than his dad, and he laughed and said he's
heard that his whole life.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
He told me that he.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And his dad don't really get along, but he's very
close to his uncle. As time went on, I told
him that I stopped hanging around his mom at work
because she was asking questions about our relationship. He said
that his mom needs to worry about her own crazy
love life. I did not know what it meant by
what he meant by that at the time, but I
think I figured it out the other day. I ran
(01:49):
into his mom as I came back from lunch. She
was getting out of my boyfriend's uncle's car, who happens
to be her brother in law. I went to say hello,
without realizing that they were trying to avoid me. She
asked me not to tell my boyfriend that she went
to lunch with his uncle. Since then, she's been avoiding
me at work, and my imagination is running wild. What
(02:12):
if she has been having sex with the uncle for
years and he is my boyfriend's real daddy. What's going on?
Should I tell my boyfriend what I saw? No, because,
like he said earlier, he's been told that his whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Please stay out of this.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You just moved here. This is not your business like this.
Your boyfriend is not stupid. He's been hearing this his
whole life, that he looks like his uncle. You look
just like your daddy. No, you look just like your uncle. Okay,
that's what he's been hearing his whole life. He might
already know the truth already. He said he and his
uncle are very close, and he doesn't get along with
his dad. Then when you told him his mom was
(02:52):
trying to get all up in your business, he said
she should worry about her own crazy love life.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So it looks like what you suspect is real.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
But it's only new to you because you're the new
person that just moved to Nashville and the new person
who just start dating him. Uh, that's their family drama,
not yours. So you've cracked the case. But again, I say,
stay out of it. Okay, now you know, Now, what
if you tell him, then what all right?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They already know Tommy, what you got?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh lord god, ah, it's a hot mess. But here's

Speaker 1 (07:55):
This letter is from a woman who just moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Move this January.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
She found a nice apartment, she said, a brand new
boyfriend who had just got divorced one of.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Her co workers.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Older coworkers, she said, introduced her to her son, and
so they've been kicking it. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
They had sex one night and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Then he wanted to come back for seconds, but she said, no,
not until you're my boyfriend. So now he's her boyfriend.
They've been dating for three months. He introduced him, He
introduced her to his family, his friends, and he come
to find out, looks just like his uncle. They both
have hazel eyes, they both have dimples. They walk and
talk alike too, and they get along really well. Meanwhile,
(08:38):
the man who's supposed to be the boyfriend's dad, they
don't get along. The boyfriend and his supposed dad, they
do not get along. But he and his uncle, who
looks like his twin, they get along. So the woman
who just moved to Nashville thinks that maybe the uncle
is his daddy instead of the man he thinks it's
(08:58):
his daddy, and she to open up this whole can
of worms and tell him and let the family know
she knows and all of this. And we're just saying, no,
this is not your business. You just moved here. You
just got to Nashville. Concentrate on something else, and leave
these people's business alone. That's basically where we are. Junior,

We got it for you here. It is Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Let up, all right, nephew, you hold on tight too.
We're gonna hear from you in just a few The
subject is my boyfriend looks like his uncle. My boyfriend
looks like his uncle, all right, Dear Stephen Shirley. I
just moved to Nashville in January, and I found a
nice apartment and a new boyfriend. My older coworker introduced
(00:46):
me to her son, who had just gotten divorced. He
started showing me around town, and after a few weeks
of casually going out with him, we decided to have sex.
He needed it as much as I did, but when
he tried to come back for second I told him
that he had to be my boyfriend first. We've been
dating for three months, and I met some of his friends,
(01:06):
his father, and his uncle. He and his uncle could
be twins. They have the same hazel eyes and dimples
in both cheeks.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
They walk and talk alike too.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I told my boyfriend that he looks more like his
uncle than his dad, and he laughed and said he's
heard that his whole life.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
He told me that he.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And his dad don't really get along, but he's very
close to his uncle. As time went on, I told
him that I stopped hanging around his mom at work
because she was asking questions about our relationship. He said
that his mom needs to worry about her own crazy
love life. I did not know what it meant by
what he meant by that at the time, but I
think I figured it out the other day. I ran
(01:49):
into his mom as I came back from lunch. She
was getting out of my boyfriend's uncle's car, who happens
to be her brother in law. I went to say hello,
without realizing that they were trying to avoid me. She
asked me not to tell my boyfriend that she went
to lunch with his uncle. Since then, she's been avoiding
me at work, and my imagination is running wild. What
(02:12):
if she has been having sex with the uncle for
years and he is my boyfriend's real daddy. What's going on?
Should I tell my boyfriend what I saw? No, because,
like he said earlier, he's been told that his whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Please stay out of this.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You just moved here. This is not your business like this.
Your boyfriend is not stupid. He's been hearing this his
whole life, that he looks like his uncle. You look
just like your daddy. No, you look just like your uncle. Okay,
that's what he's been hearing his whole life. He might
already know the truth already. He said he and his
uncle are very close, and he doesn't get along with
his dad. Then when you told him his mom was

Speaker 1 (07:30):
All right, it is time to recap today's Strawberry letter,
the subject my boyfriend looks like his husband. Before we
get to it, I just want to shout out the
uncle Daddy and my family.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
My cousin Marlon, shout out tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I got an uncle Daddy.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
We got an uncle daddy, and he does a phenomenal
job with his nieces and nephews.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Phenomenal job.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
So that's out the family.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
This letter is from a woman who just moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Move this January.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
She found a nice apartment, she said, a brand new
boyfriend who had just got divorced one of.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Her co workers.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Older coworkers, she said, introduced her to her son, and
so they've been kicking it. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
They had sex one night and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Then he wanted to come back for seconds, but she said, no,
not until you're my boyfriend. So now he's her boyfriend.
They've been dating for three months. He introduced him, He
introduced her to his family, his friends, and he come
to find out, looks just like his uncle. They both
have hazel eyes, they both have dimples. They walk and
talk alike too, and they get along really well. Meanwhile,
(08:38):
the man who's supposed to be the boyfriend's dad, they
don't get along. The boyfriend and his supposed dad, they
do not get along. But he and his uncle, who
looks like his twin, they get along. So the woman
who just moved to Nashville thinks that maybe the uncle
is his daddy instead of the man he thinks it's
(08:58):
his daddy, and she to open up this whole can
of worms and tell him and let the family know
she knows and all of this. And we're just saying, no,
this is not your business. You just moved here. You
just got to Nashville. Concentrate on something else, and leave
these people's business alone. That's basically where we are. Junior,

Why do you care as much?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
For ye since the thirties.
Speaker 4 (09:51):

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Let me just give you a personal situation. We just

the man that raised up that's her daddy. The other
