Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you, nephew. Subject. I plan to move no matter what.
Dear Stephen Shirley. My husband and I live about thirty
minutes away from the city on his family's land, and
we're renovating the home he grew up in. I used
to love being away from the madness of the city,
but now my country bumpkin in laws have moved in
on us. It's their land, so we can't say anything
(00:48):
about them living right across from us. When my husband's
grandmother died, everyone started fighting over who would get her house. Unfortunately,
she had a will and it stated that the house
belongs to my father in law. So they left a
house they built in twenty eighteen to live on the
family's land. As much as I hate living in the city,
(01:09):
I asked my husband if we can go live in
his parents' vacant home. He refuses to trade our peace
for being stuck in traffic again, even after the big
blowout that me and his mom had last night. Now
he's looking at me with the twist mouth because of
how I talked to his mom. I plan to move
out no matter what, because his mother and I are
(01:30):
like oil and water, and I must have peace in
my home. When I first married, I used to have
panic attacks when his mother is around because she is
so hateful. My husband cannot control her, and I don't
expect him to because she's his mom. I hate that
he's in the middle, and I really regret hurting his
feelings last night. Since I'm the problem, I plan to
(01:52):
eliminate myself. We don't have any children, so I can
make a clean break and move on with my life.
If my husband truly loves me, he will follow me.
If he chooses to stay in the raggedy house close
to his mama, then I'm prepared to deal with that heartbreak.
I have chosen peace this year, so his mom has
to go or I will go. Do you think I'll
(02:14):
regret my decision if my marriage ends over this? Well,
first of all, you wrote Steve and I, but you
seem to already have planned out what you're gonna do.
I mean your words, I will eliminate myself, and the
other one you said, I'm prepared to deal with the heartbreak.
Not to mention, you said either his mom goes or
(02:36):
I go. I mean you said that, among a lot
of other things. It really sounds like your mind is
made up. The title of your letters, I plan to
move no matter what. So here's what you have to understand.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Though.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
First of all, you cannot disrespect his mom. You can't
do that, and it sounds like you said some things
to her that you can't take back. But most importantly,
you're not married to his mom. You're married to him,
and he's the problem as far as I can see it,
because he won't stand up to her. He obviously lets
(03:09):
her disrespect you and talk to you crazy and does nothing.
And I'm assuming that's why you went off on her.
And yes, he is in the middle of it all,
and he doesn't have to be, though he can tell
his mom respectfully to stay out of his marriage. He
can definitely do that. It sounds like if he has
to choose at this moment, he's gonna pick mom. You
(03:29):
don't say what caused the big blow up between you
and his mom, but it sounds like it was really,
really bad. Will you regret leaving? You ask you might
miss him? If you go, I think you will. But
if you stay, you can't take back what you said
to his mom. You know they'll never forget that, and
he still don't. He won't stand up for you to
(03:51):
his mom. So what kind of marriage would it really be?
And would you really have? Steve?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, we got a problem here, But I can assure
you you have come to the right place, and I'll
tell you why because of one line in this whole
letter that allows me to jump in here as an expert. Now,
(04:18):
the subject is I plan to move, no matter what. Well,
you've made up your mind about this letter. You have
said I plan to move no matter what I'm assuming
that means no matter what Shirley says, or no matter
what Steve says, you are moving.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No matter what.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well, after that, all I can do is tell the
people that's listening to the show, what's really really wrong here?
And that's the angle I have to take now here.
Your husband and I live about thirty minutes away from
the city on his family's land, and we're renovating the
home that he grew up in. That's the old ass house,
(05:06):
and you decided to renovate. I used to love being
away from the madness of the city. And here goes
the line that allows me to jump in here. But
my country bumpkin in laws. Now this is where I
come in at because on the Internet, I am being
(05:26):
labeled as a country bumpkin. So therefore I'm qualified, according
to the last podcast, to be able to speak on
this most eloquently because I have been labeled the country bumpkin.
I am from a place called Wells, West Virginia, which
as country as you can get, is a coal mining town,
(05:49):
and all of that right there. I grew up with
no running water, no flushing toilet, no indoor plumbing. I
went to the bathroom across the road in an outhouse.
I've done that all the way up till I was six,
so I do understand never flush the toilet till I
was six years old. So I will be handling this
(06:10):
letter as the expert that I am because according to
the Internet, I am officially a country bumpkin. Now I
must say I'm proud of that. But like I said before,
if you're gonna call me a country bumpkin.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Please precede it with these words.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The Blessed and highly Favored Country Bumpkin will come back
to deliver what's really going on at the People's house.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All right, we'll have part two of the Blessed and
highly Favored Country Bumpkins response to today's Strawberry letter. Amen
to that something is I plan to move no matter what.
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Morning show.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter,
the subject I plan to move no matter what.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Well, this lady in this letter has made up her
mind so to write me and Shirley's waste of time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
But I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I am here to help you because I'm the resident
expert on this letter. Because of one line in the letter.
You and your husband moved out of the city to
your family's land and the family's landing there renovating a
home that he grew up in. I used to love
being away from the madness of the city. But now
my country bumpkin in laws have moved in on us
(07:28):
is Dayland and we can't say nothing about them living
right across from us.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Nah, that's where I come in at.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Because the people that have moved in are country bumpkin
in laws. I have been called on the internet lately
country bumpkin. I have admitted that's what I am. From
place called Wells, West Virginia. We had no running water.
I never flushed the toilet till I can't clean no
how So that's okay. I am a country bumpker. But
if you don't call me a country bumpkin, my only request,
(07:55):
as you preface it with these words right here, less
and highly favored country bumping. Now people say what they
want to say, but the country bunking has turned himself
into it, and through God's grace and mercy and highly
favored and all like that. An amazing, amazing career, amazing life.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So here'll go now here, Who I'm gonna help you out?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Nowing your husband's grandmama died and they start fighting over
who's gonna get the house. And fortunately she had a
will and she gave it to her husband. Well, so
then they don't all decide that they gonna live in
the house. And they built the house in twenty eighteen,
so now they live on in land that you and
your husband was enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He refuses, and then you.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Don't want to live there no more because you don't
get along with his mama, So you would rather go
back in the city. And I asked her husband if
we can go live in his parents vacant home. He
refuses to trade our peace for being stuck in traffic again,
even after the big blowout in him and his mama
had last night. Because you're saying something crazy to his mama.
Looking at you, twist my mouth because of how I
talk to his mama. Well, you shouldn't have talked to
(09:03):
his mama crazy, but you couldn't help it because she
cunt you and you said something crazy. I plan to
move out no matter what, because his mother and I
are like oil and.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Water, and I must have peace in my home. So
now here's the problem. People are shitting.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
He chooses to stay in the raggedy house close to
his mama. You're saying, then, I'm prepared to deal with
that heartbreak. I have chosen peace this year, So his
mom has to go or I will. Do you think
I'll regret my decision and my marriage ends over this? Yes,
you will, because you're leaving your man because you can't
get along with his fam. But let me tell you
(09:38):
why she really leaves it, y'all because of the country
bumpkins that the move did. So now let me help
you understand what the real frustration is from this city lady.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
See when the country ass bumpkins moved.
Speaker 3 (09:51):

the differences in their two houses.

a dog? Right now?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
What country punkins do? They ass got some chickens. See

yourself a fish tank.
