Speaker 2 (00:20):
It could be ladies and Gentlemen's time for the Strawberry
Letter with my good friend Shirley Strawberry.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you, my good friend Junior. Subject. Clear the room
before we start. Clear the room before we start. Dear Stephen, Shirley,
I'm in love with a man that's dramatic and very
high strong. He overreacts in everything he does. Whenever he's driving,
he swerves all over the place to avoid potholes potholes
(00:46):
and he swings out to make right turns. It gets
on my last nerve, but it's also entertaining. You ought
to hear him gossiping when he talks to his mama.
When I hear him say oh nah, I know they
will be added. For while the funniest part of our
marriage is how he acts in the bedroom, I have
to clear the room before we start. He will knock
(01:08):
over anything on the night stands. He throws pillows and
anything else he can put his hands on. He acts
like I am the best woman he's ever been with
in his entire forty two years of life. Our children
used to ask us about the noise when they were younger,
and it got to the point where we had to
turn the TV up in our room so we didn't
(01:28):
disturb them. Last weekend, we have the house all to
ourselves and we had a lot of good sex. But
this man tried to put a pillow over my face
and he bashed me in the head with the TV remote.
Everything started so quick, and I didn't realize the remote
was in the bed. My teenager came home and saw
the bandaid above my eye and asked if Daddy had
(01:51):
hit me. Well, technically he did hit me, but not
one purpose. My best friend thinks my husband is abusing
me at times, and I'm making excuse uses for him.
But the choking and biting your minor and the marks
don't last long. What if my best friend is right though,
is his behavior too excessive?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I mean this is kind of wild and kind
of crazy. I'm sure you look more like you've been
in a rough fight than getting busy with your husband.
You're not supposed to come out of an intimate session
with your husband and have visible scars on your face,
so I would say this is definitely excessive on his part.
(02:29):
I don't think he's trying to kill you or anything
like that. I just think that's the way he is.
He's wild, loud, crazy, like you say, knocking things over
and hitting you in the head and stuff. You only
seem to question it or complain about it, though when
someone else mentions it, you know, I say to that,
at least they are concerned about you and not just
(02:49):
trying to get to be nosy or anything. So yes,
I believe it's best to clear the room definitely before you,
guys go on this roller coaster ride you call sex,
because he might break something else next time, and he
might injure, injure you for real next time. I mean,
at least you know you all are having sex and
(03:10):
it's fun. I guess a lot of good sex.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
You say, but.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh, you gotta be careful in there. It's like a
war zone.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Steve, She's married to the man that's dramatic. I was
struggling with the beginning of the letter. He overreacking everything
he does. He swerves all over the place when he
driving to avoid potholes. So they live up north, and
he swings out to make right turns. I have a
(03:39):
prediction he gonna tell y'all, cob all this swerving and
swinging out far right, making right tur He gonna tell
your cob y'all gonna y'all, y'all ain't gonna be able
to get no insurance in a minute, she said, get
on her last nerve. But it's also entertaining. Well, see, lady,
I don't know you. I'm starting to learn something about
(04:00):
you throughout this letter. You kind of up for the
little wild ride. How the hell is swerving and swinging
far right? How that's how that's entertaining? Okay, but that's you.
That's why you married him. Well. Uh, then he gossip
on his phone with his mama. I don't know. I
know they're gonna be at it for a while. The
funniest thing in our marriage is how he acts in
(04:22):
the bedroom. I have to clear the room before we start. Well,
that's nothing new. I like a clear room when I'm
in there too. I don't. I don't know who in
there wants some other people in there, but I got
to clear Excuse me, please, Yeah, I just want I
gonna need to clear the room. Excuse me, Step up,
(04:44):
I got dog out of here everything. Yeah, y'all gotta
get your dog out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:53):

be doing nothing that's clawing it in my ass. You
can't be doing that. Ain't had no pet in here worrying.
We can't all be in here. Well, we can't all

We gotta get anybody that can be an eye witness.

Shut repeat? You hear me say? Ah like I like that, Daddy,
(05:46):
Shut up. I have to clear the room too, not
with you today. He knock over everything on the knight stand,
throw the pillows. I done done that. Before that, ain't
nothing I done. Kicked the lamp off a nice stand.
This ain't nothing new sowing pillars and I ain't never
had to do that. I had to clear some pillars
out the way because it was interfereing with what I
(06:08):
was doing. Anyway, Act like I'm the best woman he's
ever been with in his type. Probably are what you're
crying about that for? Then the kids used to ask
about the noise in the bedroom because they was in
there trying to figure it out because they sound they
sex it all. Mama, some what animals is in there?

I can't have no part in the room. Probably want
to crack up, Probably probably gonna want some of this
in a minute.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You got to beat.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And he acts like I'm the best woman he's ever
been within his entire for the u two years of life.
You probably are. Our children used to ask about the
noise when they were younger because they ain't know what
was going on. Y'all in there watching wat y'all in
The National Geographic says to ask a question, you all
right in there, Mama?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Why is Grant? Is granddaddy in there? Have your granddaddy
in here?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
White?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Keep asking you who your daddy? And Papa in there, Mama,
No Papa are in there with White?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Keep asking you who your daddy is. Last weekend. We
had the house all to ourselves. We had a lot
of good sex. But this man tried to put a
pillow over my face and then he bashed me in
the head with the TV remote. What what too far? Did?
(08:47):
She said? Everything started so quick. I didn't realize the
remote was in the bed. It wasn't. He reached over
on the night stand, picked it up and bad busted
you in your damn head. No, my teenager came home
and saw the band aid that boil my eye and
ask if Daddy had hit me. Well, technically he did,
(09:08):
but not on purpose. My best friend thinks my husband
just abusing me at times, and I'm making excuses for him.
But he's choking and hitting a minor and the marks
don't last long. See, this is the same woman to
talk about he dried crazy swerving to miss potholes and
make wide right terms. It gets on her nerve, but
(09:30):
it's actually entertaining. Then she turned around and said, all
the choking and hitting, that's minor, and the marks don't
last that long. No, you see all these excuses she keep.
What if my best fear is right though it's his
behavior too excessive? Lady, can I tell you something. Let
(09:52):
me get my mic straighten up. He excuse me, your
man beating your ass. Yeah, I don't know what to
tell you. Your man is beating your ass. Look, I don't
(10:12):
have I Look I'm sixty seven, I'm grown and had
a full life, still got a full life. I done
threw some pillows in the floor. I done knock some
stuff off the night dun. I ain't never reached over
and busted a woman in the head with the remote control.
That is a beating. All this choking and stuff I
(10:33):
was young one time. Since it tells me I want
you to choke me, I got them left because what
I'm not finna do it? Go to jail. I'm not choking. Well,
I'm getting here. I don't even really like you no more,
because I don't know where you got this choking from.
But they showed wasn't me, And I'm not finn to
do it because I don't know how to choke light. Yeah,
(10:56):
she said, she said, didn't just stop when I started
kicking real hard, because I don't know what hard kicking
he is. Because maybe you ain't kicking hard enough for me. Nothing.
Next thing you know, your ass is out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Anyway, the thing, anytime you get busted in the head
with the remote, it's time for you to rethink this.
But you really don't because you say the choking and
bruises this minor. You're looking at this stuff like it
ain't nothing to it, lady, So I don't know what
you want us to tell you? Now? You know, do
you think his behaviors excessive? The only thing I can think,
you know, hearing that throw throwing stuff. Throw something back.
(11:33):
That's all I got for you. Throw something back. Just
put you some rocks in the drawer next to the
knight staying. Just put you some rocks in the drawer.
And when he next time you reach over and grab
that remote, you just reach over. Why are you looking
at him and still doing your work with him? You
reach over, reach over and open that drawer and get
you a big ass rock and just come across the
(11:54):
side of his head. He bust him upside his heat.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I'll stop it.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Throw So that's all I got for you. Just this
letter is kind of crazy because this woman is going
along with this, the driving, swerving in this potholes and
and uh and making wide right turns and get on
your nerve but it's kind of entertaining. Then she turns
around and said, but the choking and hitting a minor
and the marks don't last long. What's saying that?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What she's saying, it's crazy, lady, What you're saying it's crazy.
You're in an abusive relationship. You're being beaten. That's all
this is, and all it biting. We can nibble, but
we gotta stop this biting. We gotta stop this biting out.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Now you bite into a steak, you can bite into
me like you bite into ice cream. That's all the
biting I want.
