Speaker 2 (00:14):
We could be reading your letter live on the.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Air, just like we're going to read this one right here,
right now, and you never know, it could be yours.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You never know. Buckle up and hold on type beguide
it for you. Here it is draw every letter.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you. Nephew's subject, what about the rumors about her?
Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm the oldest of three brothers, and
I love being the big sister. I have two sisters
in law that I love and a total of five
nieces and nephews.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's my twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Year old brother that's giving us all grief because he's
chosen a woman that's been around the block more than
a few times, and her children's father is known for
shooting people that cross him. My brother just got home
from being stationed overseas and he moved in with an
old friend from high school. He started driving for a
limousine service just past the time, and that's where he

(01:02):
met the woman. He's dating. He told us that a
wealthy man hired him to pick up this lady, and
the man paid for the limo to sit outside his
home until the lady was ready to leave. My brother
said he was sitting in the limo waiting and right
after midnight, the door opened and the woman was pushed
out onto the porch. The man threw the woman's shoes
out in the front yard. The brother said he ran

(01:23):
and got the lady's shoes and helped her to the car.
She told my brother that the man used her for sex,
and she thought he was really interested in being with her. Now,
if someone had told me that story the first time
I met him, I would not try to date that person.
But my brother decided to be Captain save a chick,
and now he is dating the woman and taking care

(01:44):
of her children. She is thirty seven and trifling af
and she still runs a street behind my brother's back.
Both of my other brothers have tried to talk Senson
to him, and we all cringe when he brings this
woman to family outings, and we're so afraid going to
try to marry her because he wants a family so badly.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Why did he fall so hard for her.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
How do we get him to see there are better
choices for him? Well, you know the saying opposites attract, right, Well,
that's what's happened here. And you're so right about him
wanting to save her or something. I mean, she's a mess.
Her life looks like it's a mess. She's got this
ex who wants to shoot people. But she makes him,

(02:27):
your brother, your twenty eight year old brother, feel needed,
And you know how men love to feel needed. I
know you care about your little brother, but this is
one of those life lessons that he's going to have
to learn for himself. Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do.
You and your brothers have talked to him. I'm sure
you've pleaded with him to leave her alone. That probably
just made him run to her even more and want

(02:49):
to be even closer with her, because the heart is
just so deeply invested like that you can't see it
while you're in You heard the other saying love is blind.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's another thing that's happening here. You're gonna have to
wait this one out.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You can start inviting some of your beautiful single friends
your girlfriend's around. Maybe they'll flirt with him. A little
bit and he'll realize there's something better out there. But
right now he's caught up. We've all seen this movie
before where a good person gets with a bad person
and they end up getting their heartbroken or worse. You know,
you guys just got to make sure you're there for

(03:22):
him when that happens. And it looks like dealing with
her it's gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Steve, Well, there are other ways to handle this other
than what Shirley said. You can do it Shirley's way.
I guess that's true more you know, non more conventional,
traditional way of handling it and letting it all play out.

(03:47):
And you know this is a lesson he's got to learn. Well,
damn it, we need to learn this lesson today. We
ain't got no more time. This has gone too far.
You're the only three brothers you love, being a big system.
You got two sister laws that you love, a total
of five nieces and nephews.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
But it's a.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Twenty eight year old that's given us grief because he
has chosen a woman that has been around the block
more than a few times.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
In other words, she just doing laps that she go
oh oh, here, she come again. Whoo, that's she go.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Good riddings. Oh she back again. She on the backstretch,
she got she back again? Man, what is yeah, that's
what you're doing. This is the part that would stop me.
Her children's father is known for shooting at people that
crossed him.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Now right there, this letter needs to go no further.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
At twenty eight, when I was thirty eight, when I
was forty eight, when I was fifty eight, when I
turned sixty eight, Hell, when I was eight, when I
was eighteen, At no point did I like people who
shot at people. It's just it's never been. I've just
never been an interest of mine. I don't care how

(05:12):
fine you are. Wash your boyfriend start shooting. All the
beauty traits I saw in you, they disappeared right away.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Matter of fact, your ugly ass needs.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
To move on.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
So right now, I don't even know why we're reading
this letter anymore. But my brother just got home from
being stationed overseas. He moved in with an old friend
from high school. This is another ridiculous line. He started
driving for a limousine service just to pass the time.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
No, he didn't. Don't nobody do that.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
You don't take no damn job, No job, just to
pass the time. You can pass the time sitting on
the porch. You can pass the time sitting in the backyard.
You can pass the time going down to the park
every day. He took a job because he needed to work. Now,
you gonna be the big sister. Stop acting like the mama.

(06:09):
Make an excuse for these boys. He took a limousine
job just to pass the time, and that's where he
met the woman he's dating. He told us that a
wealthy man hired him to pick up this lady, and
the man paid for the limo to sit outside his
home until the lady was ready to leave. What that
sounded like to you, Dad? Don't sound like prostitution to you?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Hang on, Steve, got on, hang on, don't sound like that.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
We'll have part two of your response coming up in
twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject
what about the rumors about her?

Speaker 2 (06:48):
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
hard Morning show?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is what about the rumors about her?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, what about the rumors about her? Your twenty eight
year old brother that was in the military and came
home and was living with a friend. And you said,
you know that you a little upset about the woman
he done chose because she been around the block a
few times.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Your brother just got.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Home and moved in with an old friend, and he
started driving for a limousine service just to pass the time.
That's the first lie you told in the letter, because
ain't nobody working for no limousine service just to pass
the time. He passed the time by going down to
the park, go to the beach, go to the playground
with terrail and play basketball. It's a lot of things

(07:37):
you could do to pass the time, but what you
don't do is pass the damn time by taking the job.
He need money, and that's where he met the woman
he's dating. He told us that a wealthy man, a
wealthy man hired him to pick up this lady, and
the man paid for the limo to sit outside his.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Home until the lady was ready to leave.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
My brother said he was sitting in the limo waiting
and right after midnight, the door opening, the woman was
pushed onto the porch. The man threw the woman's shoes
out in the front yard. Okay, now listen to me.
Don't I know you're twenty eight, you ain't that old.
But we just don't sound like prostitution to you. A
wealthy man sends a limo to pick up a woman

(08:21):
as you wait outside to hey done, right after midnight.
He pushed her out on the porch and throw these
shoes in front of the front yard.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
This is not what wealthy people do.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Now, this man ain't wealthy because, first of all, most
wealthy people don't have a porch. I'm just gonna be
honest with you. Most of them don't. He just ain't
a word. That's a word that dissipates after a certain
income level. I just want to Porch ain't a word
that people you.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Know they have.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
You know, they have a or poor a kusheti in
front of the house. They have a foyer in the house.
You know, ain't have things like that. Porch kind of
goes away, wants you in a certain category. And then
throwing shoes out on the front yard. That's some other
stuff rich people don't do. They have people that escort

(09:16):
you out. You never see the rich man. You never
see the shoes coming out the porch. Somebody will hand
you your stuff, try to cheat you with expect to
avoid the lawsuit. That ain't what happened here. She got
throwed out the man through the woman's shoes in the
front yard. My brother said he ran and got the
lady's shoes and helped her to the car when he
pushed her.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
It's hard to walk.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Across that gravel with no shoes on. So your brother
had to get her because some gravel in the yard.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Somewhere. She told my brother that the man used her
for sex, and she thought he was really.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Interested in being with her. One man hold up, so brouh.
You still don't see prostitution here. You don't see that
she told you. She told you that the man used
her for sex. She went over there with the idea
to have sex. She thought he was really interested in her.
When he paid and asked her to leave, she said, no,

(10:13):
I want to watch TV and chill. He said, well,
you ain't in the chill over here, cause you ain't
the chilling tight now. That's when he pushed out on
the porch and the shoes got thrown. You don't see
prostitution on him.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I'm just trying to help her.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, anyway, Now, if somebody had told me the story
the first time I met him, I would try not
to date that person. Well, who will we dating? Because
she date everybody? She's a date her. She's in the
dating bissins. So what they call it the date but
it's a paid for service. But my brother decided to

(10:48):
be Captain Savor Chick. We know what she really want
to say, But anyway, we'll go with Captain Savor Chick
because it's morning radio and now he's dating a woman
and taking care of her children. She's thirty seven and
trifling al and she steals running the street behind my
brother's back. Yes, yes she does, because she's a street runner.

(11:09):
That's what people who run the streets do. She a
street runner, just prostitution. Both of my older brothers have
tried to talk since into him. We all cringe when
he brings her to the family outing because we're so
afraid he gonna try to marry him. Because she don't
even know what to wear. She ain't got no family
out and outfit. She over here with the prostitution dress

(11:30):
on at the barbecue, all the uncles is doing. I
like Loui Shrika don't hear baby, yes, you know, and
then your uncles say real crude stuff that she don't understand. Uh,
shake that monkey, you know, stuff like that that don't
really mean nothing except to old people. Oh Lord Mercer,

(11:52):
I like to crab in that barrel. You know. Old
people have stuff that children don't make. No damn sin
and think you gonna marry because he want a family
so badly. Why did he fall so hard for her?
And how do we get him to see that they're
better choices for him? It's real simple. You and the
older brothers got to get down and share the facts

(12:12):
with him. The woman you dating is behind your back,
still running the streets. The woman you dating you found
out was dropping her off for sexual acts and found
out that that's all he wanted was a sexual app
He then threw her out. She trifling, and she behind
your back with other people. He needs a fact that
right now. Don't let this play yourself out. He need

(12:36):
a facts check. You is dating a garden tool boo.
