Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, we want to say thank you again. She's powerful,
She's one of the smartest people I've ever met in
my life. Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams, thank you so
much for joining us today. We have to get out
and vote, Steve. I mean, it's just imperative. We have
to get out and vote early voting. It's starting Scott too.
I mean, look, the alternative is not good. Yeah. Look,

(00:25):
we've said he and we've dealt with this. I just
don't understand, Leon know what I'm I'm confused. I'm confused
for women. First of all, ro versus Wade should have
been a female decision, purely to me. Yeah, I don't
even see why. Why why me and vote? They don't

(00:48):
know anything about what that is, birth, how it feels
to be pregnant, none of that. Yeah, they don't. They
don't know about the decision that could be made. Men
should have been out of it for this party to
take a stand, for everybody in this country to make
a decision for you, with your body, your life, and

(01:11):
your productive sales, that you have to do this because
sex was committed. So now it just it it alarms
me that because you're just in a party, you're supposed
to agree with that when clearly I know you don't. Yeah,

(01:32):
I just don't understand how a woman does not want
the choice vote for your reproductive rights, to just get
out in boom period. It's just it's just the way
women should be. And I don't even like to say
this word what we should allow women to do? What
the hell? But I like, as a man, you're standing

(01:54):
up for women and our rights, you know, and all
of that. More should do the same, um, you know. Again,
Thank you to Stacy Abrams. Please get out and vote
in November. We're gonna switch gears here now, Steve, it
is time for today's Strawberry Letter. If you need advice
on relationships, on dating, work, parenting, sex, and more, please

Thank you nephew. Subject his cousin is spreading it around.
Dear Stephen Shirley, My husband and I have been together

(02:37):
since we were seventeen and we've been married for three years.
We are both twenty seven years old, but we feel
older than that because we did a lot of traveling
and having fun together before we settled down. I just
had our first child, and i've been home nursing the baby.
My husband's thirty six year old cousin insisted on coming
to help us out with the baby because she's raised

(02:59):
five of her own children. She started having babies in
high school, and her kids are older now, so she's
free to do as she pleases. We gladly accepted her
to her help, and she has been with us for
three weeks. She is excellent with the baby and she
helps me tidy up around the house. But after that
she gets out in the streets. She goes out late

(03:21):
at night because that's when the clubs are jumping. According
to her, I'm not sure what clubs are open on weeknights,
but she has been hanging out from Wednesday to Sunday.
I've seen numerous hotel keys in a kitchen garbage can,
and I wonder why she's not trying to be a
little more discreet. I brought it up to my husband
the other night, and he was full of talk about

(03:43):
his cousin. He said he was too ashamed to admit
it to me, but his cousin is now and has
always been promiscuous, and he thought twice about having her
come to our home. He told me that she slept
with two of his friends since she's been with us,
it's only been three weeks, and both of his friends
are married. I refrain from judging her, but I don't

(04:05):
want her in our social circle breaking up happy homes.
How do I talk to a woman that's older than
I am about changing her ways and maybe getting therapy.
Something's got to be wrong here. Wow, that was a lot.
So this is what we have, all right? We have
a garden tool that breaks up families. Basically is what

(04:29):
your letter saying. She's breaking them up, sleeping with married men,
doing all that. But on the other hand, she takes
great care of your kids. Who thought this was a
great idea for her to come? Wait a minute, you
said in your letter, we gladly accepted her help. She's
excellent with the baby. You also said she helped you

(04:49):
tidy tidy up around the house. You needed the help,
and we're glad to accept it. Was glad to accept
it from her. What you didn't know was about her
extracurricular activities when she goes hits those streets at night
and hits the clubs. But your husband knew and didn't
tell you. He said he was too ashamed. And now
people are starting to talk and her sexual shenanigans have

(05:10):
hit pretty close to home with his two friends she
slept with. And you're feeling guilty now by association and
want to say anything but say something to her. But
what can you say to her? I mean, she's been
doing this since high school. Yeah, it's a mess. But
unless you have someone on deck right now to help
you with the baby, and it doesn't seem like your

(05:31):
cousin is disrespecting your house, I say, continue your policy
of not judging her, but you've got to start looking
for someone else to help with the baby right away
because she does need to go. If this is the case, Steve, well,
let's see his cousin is spreading it around. Now we
know what the letter means, right, and what she's spreading

(05:52):
around ain't peanut butter, No it is, but she's spreading
it like it is peanut butter. And the life and
the circle of friends, y'all gout is a slice of bread,
and it's all over the damn bread. That's how I
like my peanut butter, though I don't like none of
the bread showing when I make my stand because I

(06:12):
want every bite to have peanut butter on it. So
she's making sure that everybody get a bite got peanut
butter on it. Peynut, by the hell, get y'all peanuts here,
peanuts for everybody. She spread and he nut butter around
we come back. It's very simply how I'm gonna do this.

(06:32):
I'm gonna show you why. I'm gonna just show you why,
and I don't want to say what because I don't
want to give away. When I come back, it'll all
be clear. All right. We'll have part two of Steve's
response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.
Today's strawberry letters. Subject is his cousin is spreading it around.
We'll be back right after this. You're listening show, all right,

(06:57):
Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. This subject
is his cousin is spreading it around. Now, I'm gonna
walk you through this letter, and there's a lot of
at the beginning is all irrelevant information. Stephen Sherley, my
husband I've been together since we were seventeen. We've been
married three years. Were both twenty seven years old, but
we feel older because that what We did a lot

(07:18):
of traveling, having fun together before we settled down. All
that's irrelevant information. We had our first child and I've
been home nursing the baby. Now we're get into it.
My husband's thirty six year old cousin insisted on coming
to help us out with the baby because she has
raised five of her own thirty six with five. Now,

(07:44):
let's get into how she got the five, why she
got the five, and why she's such a good babysit.
She started having babies in high school. Huh yeah, so
she thirty six, you twenty seven. She just nine years
older than you. But she started having babies in high school.

(08:08):
The kids are older now, so she's free to do
as she pleases when the king. All five of them
can't be that old. All five of them can't be eighteen.
You had some of these five kids after high school,
so this is going to do what the hell you
want to do, unless you've trained the other kids to
be babysitters too. I don't know, but we're working on it.

(08:30):
We gratefully accepted her help and she's been with us
for three weeks. She is excellent with the baby. Well,
let's talk about that. If you got five, we got
five now. She ought to be good at babies by now.

(08:52):
Fifth one puts you in the expert category and she
helps me tidy up around the house. But after that
she get out in the streets. This is why she
insisted on coming to stay with y'all because y'all stay
in an area that she liked to run in. She
liked y'all's area of the streets. That's why she go

(09:16):
out late at night, because that's when the clubs are jumping.
That's a true statement according to her. I'm not sure
what clubs are open on weeknights. Girl. There's a lot
of places open on weeknights, a whole lot of places.
But she's been hanging out from Wednesday to Sunday. That's
when they're open Thursday night and late at night Wednesday

(09:40):
Happy Hour, and then once you get once you leave
Happy Hour, then you go and experience the happy that
the hour presented. See the hour provides the happiness, and
then you're going, you don't want to blow these drinks
on nothing, so you take your little drunk and ass
on our And I've seen numerous hotel keys in the garbage,

(10:03):
in the kitchen garbage. That's where she put them, because
at the happy hour you got to go and use
these drunks. I wonder why she's not trying to be
a little more discreet. They in the trash, They in
the trash. Hard to be with the discreet with somebody

(10:25):
looking through the trash. That's you because you throw it
in my kitchen trash and let's it's on the top,
laying straight out of me, and I'm not gonna see it.
All right, here we go. I brought it up to
my husband another night, and he was full of talk
about his cousin. He said it was too ashamed to
admit it to me, But his cousin is now and

(10:46):
has always been promiscuous. We got five kids, now, I've
seen numerous hotel keys in the kitchen garbage. Came she
got five kids, gonna be some hotels in the trad
You know what what you need to find in the trash,
It's some some condom rappers. It's what you need to

(11:08):
find in the tred but we're not finding that in
the trash. We finding hotel keys. Need to find some
damn rappers in the damn trash. It's what you need
to find. But we're not my cousins and promiscuous. And
he thought twice about having her come to the house.
He told me that she's slept with two of his friends.

(11:30):
Once again, that's how you get five kids, sleep with
two more friends. You know what she's been since she's
been with us, and it's only been three weeks, and
so you can sleep with two people in three weeks.
That's how you get five kids, two people in three weeks.
That ain't nothing. It ain't a man. Don't here reading

(11:52):
that going what now? You women can tell me what?
She just slept with two people in three weeks. That's
shocking to y'all. That ain't shocking to no man. This
letter I refrained from judge and her the whole letter
Judge and her, she got five kids. This letter was
written in judgment. I don't want her in our social circle,

(12:12):
breaking up happy home. Ain't nobody fitting to tell this?
But you how do I talk to a woman that's
older than me. She only nine years older than you.
How do I talk to her about changing her ways
and maybe getting therapy? Therapy? Look, Steve's gotta be wrong, Hill.
My bodyguard had a book that didn't the name of

(12:35):
