the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew. Subject a masterpiece without
peace or a piece? Okay, Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm writing
in for my twenty nine year old brother and hope
you can help him out. He calls his girlfriend a masterpiece,
and I have to agree that she's almost perfect and

(00:46):
the prettiest girl he's ever dated. He fell in love
for superficial reasons and has not taken the time to
get to know her. His girlfriend works as a model
and an Instagram influencer, and she makes great money. She's
got a natural body and curly red hair with big
pretty eyes. She is a stunning woman. But she's turned

(01:07):
my brother into a different man. He's been sleeping on
my couch for a week because she put him out
of his own house. He's a techie, so he makes
great money and that's what attracted her. He's given her
money for skin and teeth enhancement, so he helped create
that masterpiece here. Recently, she stopped having sex with him

(01:29):
and told him her body is a temple for her husband,
and since he won't marry her, then he can't touch her.
I agreed with her on that, So I'm in the
middle of something that I have no business being in.
My brother said, there is no peace living with this woman.
Her life is taking photos, going out to clubs and
restaurants and traveling to make money. He's in love with

(01:51):
the idea of her, and quite honestly, I think she's
cheating on him. I want him to get a backbone
and put her out of his house if she's that bad.
Being the gentleman that he is, he said he can't
just uproot her like that. He remains faithful to his masterpiece,
but he can't even get a piece. One day he

(02:11):
wants to break up with her, and another day he
wants to buy a ring and ask her to marry him.
I feel bad for him, but I want him off
my couch. This woman has to hold on This woman
has a hold on him. So how can I make him,
help him make the right decision. Well, you can't, you can't.
This really has nothing to do with you. But he's

(02:34):
your brother. You care what happens to him, and he's
on your couch, so you are involved by default. But
he's really not being a man in this situation. I mean,
clearly you said in the letter he's in love with her,
your brother sprong on his so called masterpiece girlfriend. I mean,
who is this fine that they can make you leave
your own house, your own house that you pay the

(02:56):
mortgage for. Okay, So in this case, not until he's
had enough and canny stand up to her or catches
her cheating like you think she is, will he be
able to break up with her. I mean, it's just
as simple as that, because he's got it real bad.
I mean, you said she's beautiful, she's got curbs, big
pretty eyes, curly hair, all of that. You know, as

(03:20):
his sibling, you could shake things up and try putting
him out of your house, which would force him to
go back home. But please know that he'll be mad
at you for a while, and when he should be
mad at his girl the masterpiece, but again he sprung,
so I just wouldn't count on that. You know, Try
giving him a deadline when he has to be out
of the house and see what happens. I mean, he's

(03:41):
a grown man. He's not your responsibility. I think you
should let him figure this out in his own house. Steve,
this boy twenty nine years old. Twenty nine that ain't
old enough, y'all, that ain't old enough to do all
the things that I'm about to tell him he needed

(04:02):
to do, because he twenty nine and he can't believe
what has happened to him. This boy is so messed
up because he calls his girlfriend a masterpiece. God, I

(04:23):
don't think if y'all know what that is. And but
then this other woman says, and I damn it, got
agree because she almost perfect, prettiest girl he's ever dated.
She damn this said, prettiest girl she's ever seen. Damn
this said that he fell in love for superficial reasons
and has not taken the time to get to know her. Now,

(04:44):
that is all true. What he fell in love with
was I will share with you later on that love
with the concept. Oh my god, look at her. Oh ah,
and she won't me. Oh, this is too much. His

(05:08):
girlfriend works as a model Instagram influence. She makes great money,
she's got a natural body, curly red hair, big pretty eye.
Who ain't in who? Who ain't signed enough for this?
Twenty nine? All of us on this radio show is

(05:28):
older than that. All the fellas this description right here,
twenty nine we signed enough for that were single in
like fleeing. She's a stunning woman, but she's turned my
brother into a different man. He's been sleeping on my
couch for a week because she put him out of
his own house. He's a techie, so he makes great

(05:49):
money and that's what attracted her. Okay, so everybody's attracted
for superficial reasons. He's given her money for skin and
teeth enhancement, so he helped create the masterpiece. Now, she
says recently she stopped having sex with him and told
him her body is a templing for her husband, and

(06:09):
since he won't marry her, then she can't. He can't
touch her. And I agree with her on that and
the whose side you on? Now? You're on your brother's
side of the girl's side. So I'm in the middle
of something that I have no business being there. Why
you're in the middle of because your brother is telling
you this stuff. And you know why I'm telling you that,
because he got time to tell the story, because he
on your couch. We'll get into that when we come back.

(06:32):
I have an answer for you, all right. Not gonna
do what we will have Part two of Steve's response
to today's Strawberry letter. The subject is a masterpiece without
peace or a piece. Steve's responds, Part two coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour, right after this.

(06:52):
You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's
strawberry letter. The subject a master without piece or a pief. Well,
this woman is writing for her twenty nine year old
brother that's fallen in love with this masterpiece. Supermodel, influencer,

(07:12):
Instagram pretty hair, pretty eyes, read, her natural body, the
prettiest girl he's ever dated. He didn't have some flowers, though,
but this them right here top to Kate. She likes
him because he's a tech and he made great money
and that's where attracted her. So both of them are
attracted for superficial reasons. He's giving her money for skin

(07:35):
and teeth enhancement, so he's helped create this masterpiece. Now,
she didn't stop having sex with him because she said
her body's a temple for her husband, and since he
won't marry her, he can't touch her. The lady who
wrote the letter say, I agree with her on that.
So I'm in the middle of something I have no
business being in. Well, you're really not in the middle
of it. You allowed yourself to be drugging to the
middle of it, but really not your business. This your

(07:57):
brother business. Now, I'm gonna get to what the brother
should do and you should do. But your brother not
gonna do what I'm about to do it because you
gotta be a little bit older to do what I'm
about to tell you to do. And he twenty nine
and he's sprung. He's not gonna be able to do it.
She's too fine for him, she weighed too fine. My
brother said, there's no peace living with this woman. Her
life is taking photos, going out to clubs, restaurants, and

(08:21):
traveling to make money. He's in love with the idea
of her, and quite honestly, see right there, she said,
he's in love with the idea of her. It's the
concept I got her. Everybody won't hurt, but I got hut.
But what you have dog is nothing because you don't

(08:42):
even like your life with her, because it's taking photos,
going to clubs and restaurants, traveling to make money. I
want him to get a backbone and put her out
of his house if she's that bad. Being the gentleman
he is, he says he can't just uproot her like that.
Now here's a problem you're saying that. And then I

(09:04):
read departed the letter about he's been sleeping on my
couch for a week because she put him out of
his own house. Now that's interesting to me because it's
more to this story than you let known too. She
put him out of the house. If y'all not sleeping together,
he could just sleep on his own couch. I'm assuming

(09:27):
that their house has a couch. That's one of the
primary articles of furniture that you buy from the first
moving Everybody want to couch. I don't hear nobody talking
out apartment without a couch. The first thing you need
is a bed. Right after that bed, you need a
damn couch. You got to have somewhere to sit other

(09:48):
than that bed. That couch normally is in front of
a TV. This just in every house I've ever been here.
If it's TV up on the wall, I can promise
you're couch in front. If it ain't something wrong, ain't
nobody just putting no TV on the wall. Ain't got
no couch? Now? Why am I saying that he got
a couch at his house? Why he didn't just go

(10:09):
sleep on the couch while they work through this? Her
body's a temple thing. Why did he get put out
of his own house? That was her seeing how much
power she had over him, and he gave it to him.
Now here at your house. He remains faithful to his masterpiece,
but he can't even get a piece. Then you say,

(10:31):
one day wants to break up with it, the other
day wants to buy a ring and ask her to
marry him. I feel bad for him, but I want
him off my couch. Well, put him off your couch.
If you put him off the couch, what are you
gonna do? You say, made good money, go back and
live on your own couch? See him and her got
to work this album. The woman has a hole on him.

(10:52):
So how can I help him make the right decision?
All right? Here's what you can say to yo brother,
or you can record my voice and play this back
to your brother. First of all, I would tell your
brother that he sprung and he's in love with the
concept of this supermodel Instagram influencer fine chick with the
red curly him. That's got him all messed up. He's

(11:15):
had a taste of the forbidden fruit and now she
just snatched away from it. He wants the fruit back.
That's power she handling her bids and she controlled it. Now.
I would ask him, do you really want more of
this life? Because if you marry this girl, this is
the life you're gonna get because she's not going to
stop being who she is because she's making money and

(11:39):
she's not gonna stop for you. She's not gonna stop
now and she's not gonna stop then. So you have
to ask your brother, who one day wants to break
up with it, another day wants to buy a ring?
Is this the life you really want? Do you want
more of it? Because I have news for you, sir.
Nothing changes after marriage. You have to understand this. Nothing

(12:00):
change is after marriage. Everything that's wrong before the marriage
will be magnified after the marriage. So all these problems
you have and right now, this don't touch me. Did
you go live over your sister house? This you get
out this. I like club and I like photos, I
like traveling, I like money. All that's going to stay

(12:22):
to stay, gonna stay the same. So your young brother,
here's what you have to do. You're gonna have to
muster the strift to play offense, because right now you're
on defense. First of all, I'm not leaving my house.
I'm sleeping on this couch. I'm not gonna touch you,
even though I want you, dearly, I'm not gonna touch you.

(12:43):
But I'm twenty nine and i'm single. Now I'm gonna
touch somebody, all right, thank you. He's not gonna do
none of that, all right. Leave us your comments on
