Speaker 2 (00:20):
She could be yours. Buckle up and hold on time.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
We got it for you here it is Strawberry. Let
us thank you. Nephew. Subject she's holding a grudge from
thirty years ago. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm fifty five years
old and I'm divorced. I have two grown daughters, and
I gave guys a hard time when they tried to
date my daughters because I never wanted anyone to disrespect them.
(00:43):
I didn't want them to ever be treated like I
treated a woman back when I was in my twenties.
When I was twenty four, I dated an older woman
that was a manager at a movie theater. She was
six years older than me and she had her own place.
She let me keep her car, and she gave me
money to hang out with my friends. I did not
want my friends to know I was sleeping with her,
(01:05):
because they called her snaggletooth and other nasty names. She
had two teeth missing and she had bad skin, but
her body was incredible and I loved having sex with her.
I liked her a lot, but I was embarrassed to
tell my friends. So one day I was at her
job hugging her after she gave me some money, and
(01:28):
two of my friends saw it. I acted like she
was trying to get me to hug her. I told
him there was no way I was messing with her,
and I laughed in her face. She put my stuff
out of her apartment and we never spoke again. A
couple of years later, I heard she moved away for years.
I regretted what I did to her, and after thirty years,
(01:51):
I ran into her over the holidays and she was
still not happy to see me. I asked her if
we could sit down and talk face to face. She
said no, but she gave me her phone number. She
has changed so much. She's beautiful, her teeth were perfect
and her skin was glowing. She is not aged. I
(02:12):
want to sincerely apologize and get reacquainted with her, but
she won't answer my texts or calls. I want to
make things right. How do I get through to her? Well,
you don't, because guess what it is called revenge, It's
called get back, it's called clapback. It is over for you.
(02:33):
You will not get her back. She just wanted to
get you at that moment. It's her turn.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
She's not carrying a grudge, that's not it. She just
hasn't forgotten how you made her feel that day when
you clowned her in front of your two friends. You
told your friends there was no way you were messing
with her, and then you laughed in her face. You
were doing her and taking money from her, but her face,
(03:01):
that's her ful, that's embarrassing, that's humiliating. No one wants
to feel that. So this is what you got from
her in return, no response to your text or calls.
Why should you want to ever see you again? And
this is how she's paying you back. She probably dreamed
of this day, or maybe she didn't dream of it,
but the fact that she did get the chance all
these years later to get you back.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
She did.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And you said she got her two front teeth fixed.
And she's beautiful now too. We all know the best
revenge is looking good, and according to you, she looks good.
You gotta let it go. You gotta let it go
and move on. Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh, it's a good one right here.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh. I like this letter on so many levels. And
I tell you why. I know where he coming from,
and second of all, I know where she coming from.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yes, Lord, let's go. Hey. At first I thought it
was a lady.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Writing a letter, but that quickly went away, he did,
Stephen sherl I'm fifty five years old on divorce. I
have two grown daughters. I gave you guys a hard
time when they tried to date my daughters, as you should,
because I never wanted anyone to respect disrespect them. I
didn't want them to be treated like I treated a
woman back when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
See, that's why fathers are important, because they know the
route that other men take and they can forwarn their
daughters about it because men know how they all were
at one point in time. Even if you've never been
abusive towards women, you do know some of.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The little sly trickery moves that you use to acquire.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Them, because you have to have some of that in
the beginning else you're not gonna get nobody. It's called game.
Every man develops it to a certain degree, some away
more than others, but everybody has to have some form
of it. Back when I was there was twenty is
(05:04):
I was twenty four. I dated an older woman. She
was a manager at a movie theater. She was six
years older than me. She had her own place. Well, you,
twenty four, dog, I've been in my own place since
I left college. I ain't had no choice. But okay,
so I guess that was impressive to you. She had
her own place, she let me keep her car, and
(05:28):
she gave me money to hang out with my friends.
I've never had that. I want to take my hat
off to your kudos. I ain't never had a sponsor before.
I've never had a woman give me money to do
a damn thing.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
When I was homeless, I met a girl and I
asked her. She saw my gas tank on empty, and
she offered to buy me gas. By the way I
was raised, I was raised not to accept things from women.
But I needed that gas in that car, so she
put that gas in the car. Hallelujah for that woman
right there. I would have done anything for her, she'd
have gassed it up twice. But anyway, that's a whole
(06:05):
nother story. And she gave me money to hang out
with my friends. I did not want my friends to
know I was sleeping with her because they called her snacker,
tooth and other nasty names.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
She had two teeth missing, bad skin, but.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Her body was incredible and I loved having sex with it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You have gee, I just I can't get past teeth well.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And part two of your response coming up on this.
Speaker 2 (06:33):

(07:24):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is she's holding a grudge from thirty years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
All right, fifty five year old divorce man got two daughters.
He's always been protective of him because he didn't want
women to be treated like he treated a woman. Because
one time he was twenty four, he dated this older
woman who was thirty, who was a manager. Met they
worked at a movie theater together, and she was thirty,
and she used to give it money to hang out
with a friend, let him use a com The problem
with it was he was ashamed of him cause his friends.
(07:55):
He didn't want his friends to know he was sleeping
with him because they call her snacker tooth and other
asked the name. She had two teeth missing, she had
bad skin, but her body was incredible and I loved
having sex with her. This where we started drawing the
line in this letter. Well, I can't relate to this
because I'm not gonna be able to get to this
incredible body you got, because if you ain't got no
(08:16):
teeth I don't really give a damn what your skin
look like. You're gonna have dove soft skin, you have
baby ass bottom skin if you want to. But you're
gonna need them teeth though, because it's just I'm not
gonna be able to talk to you and you ain't
got no damn teeth. I don't give the damn if
your face is smooth as a baby ass.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
If you ain't got no damn teeth and you're in a.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Duck, it's hard for me talk to my grandkids when
they teeth is missing. I'll be I'll be shutting my
eyes when I talk to them sometimes, so you know,
good hell well, I'm not gonna be able to talk
no grown ass woman. Two teeth missing, I don't give
it damn. Where they missing that either they can be
the corner teeth missing, it be the one in the
middle of one on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I don't give a damn if I can see this face.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah you now, you can have your wisdom teeth missing,
and I'll still kick it with you. But you can't
have none of them visible, like when you smile. I
can't see through there, I can't see tongue, y'all. All
that see, I just I ain't gonna be do it anyway.
I liked her a lot, but I was embarrassed to
(09:22):
tell my friend. So one day I was at her job,
hugging her after she gave me some money.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Two of my friends saw it. I act like she
was trying to hug me. Get off of me. What
you're doing, that's what he did. He act like she
was what you hugging me for.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I told them there was no way I was messing
with her, and I laughed in her face.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
She put my stuff out her apartment and we never
spoke again. Well, bro, as she should.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, you laughing in.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Her face, But you sleeping with her, telling your friends,
trying to act like she was hugging you. You was
hugging out because she was taking care of your little
broke ass. Now all of a sudden, she ain't nothing.
But once again, I don't even know how it got
to that, because she ain't got no teeth. I'm not.
You ain't gonna have to You're not gonna be loan
me no money because I can't talk to you now
out of here.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
You're gonna loan me money and I can't ask for it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
See that's I'm back on the teeth missing with that
bad ass skin. I'll give damn the skin. I don't
care knowing about no bad ass skin. They got foundation,
they can fix all that right there. It's when you
ain't got no damn teeth in your head. And so
she put my stuff out of her apartment. We never
spoke again. A couple of years later, I heard she
moved away for years. I regretted what I did. After
(10:37):
thirty years, I ran into her over the holidays, and
she was still not happy to see me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Bruh.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now, Shirley said she wasn't holding a grudge, she was
just remembering.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Oh no, it's grudge, though, you believe that full blown.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I can't stand you. Bump you miss me, kiss my
all that sugar honey iced tea. If you don't miss me,
find something else to do. I hope you die. A
whole lot going through her head. I asked her if
we could sit and talk face to face now right here, now,
(11:16):
listen to me this part of the letter. I don't
have all the information yet, but when you said, I
asked if we could sit and talk face to face.
Now I'm back thirty years ago. You didn't have no
teeth then, which is why we never could have dated.
Because I can't sit with you face to face and
you ain't got no teeth in your head. But you
asked her to sit down and talk face to face.
(11:38):
She said no, but she gave me her phone number.
She has changed so much. Oh my god, she's beautiful.
Her teeth were perfect and her skin was glowing.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
She has not aged.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I want to sully apologize and get reacquainted with her.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
She won't answer my text or cause I.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Want to make things right? How do I get through
to her? You ain't you out? Dog you out?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Because she remember the hurt you put on her. She out?
She fine? Now, ah, she fine. She'd have got your
teeth put up in her head. She didn't got that fixed. Huh?
Why she give him the number though, to tell him? No, Oh, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
