the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephews. Subject My best friends
are my ex's. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty three
year old married woman and I've been with my husband
for eight years, married for five. My husband just found
out that my male best friend is my ex boyfriend.
I also have a female best friend that I used

(00:43):
to have threesomes with. We are all close and they
loved my husband and he loved them. I was on
FaceTime with my best friend the other night and he
mentioned a tattoo on my lower back and said he
remembered when I got it. My husband looked at me
so crazy and then told my best friend he was
out of blind. My best friend laughed and told my
husband to chill out and loosen up, or he would

(01:05):
screw his wife again. I almost fainted. What what you
want me to go back over that line? You ain't
got to go back over here exactly, see exactly exactly.
My best friend tried to say it was a joke,
but my husband cursed him out and said he'd better

(01:26):
not see him anytime soon. My best friend said he
was on his way over. Less than an hour later,
my best friend showed up at our apartment ready to fight.
My husband went outside and made me stay inside. My
crazy ex was yelling so loud I heard him tell
my husband that he slept with me for years and
we had threesomes with my female best friend. He bragged

(01:48):
about our sexual past. My ex boyfriend slashed best friend
and I had vowed to keep our past in the past,
and we haven't had sex in over fifteen years. They
were so loud that neighbors came out and threatened to
call the police. My ex left and my husband told
me I could go with him, but of course I
stayed and tried to talk some sense into my husband

(02:10):
my best My husband said I'm a sneaky, lying woman,
and he gave me an ultimatum either my friends or
my marriage. I don't think that's fair. Why is it
such a big deal that I'm still friends with two
people i've had sex with? Please help? Are you kidding
me right now? It's a big deal because this happened, okay,
because your stupid ex boyfriend did this, and your husband

(02:33):
should have whipped his behind. Seriously, he came over there
asking for it anyway. That com he made to your
husband about screwing you and all of that was so
completely out of line and disrespectful. He obviously has a
problem with you, your marriage, and especially your husband. He's jealous,
he's a hater. He's trying to sabotage everything. He knew

(02:57):
exactly what he was doing with all that loud yelling
outside and around the neighbors and stuff. But you're the
problem because you don't see what your husband is talking about.
You don't see that it is such a big deal,
and you don't think it's fair that you can't see
your friends again. Come on, you need to cancel him,
You need to cancel her. Stick with your husband. Those

(03:17):
aren't your friends. He broke the code, he broke the trust.
All of that, You guys, agreed not to tell, and
your husband doesn't care if it was fifteen years ago,
a fifteen minutes ago. All right, this dude was out
of line. He probably suspected something your husband all along. Anyway,
some things, you know, these secrets people should take to
their grave and you should be glad his sorry butt

(03:39):
is out of your life. All right, Steve, Thank you,
thank welcome, Thank you, Shirley. Beautiful letter to come back to.
Ladies and gentlemen. Call everybody you know, and watch what
I do with this letter right here. I've been waiting
on something like this. Oh God, I'm mister t be
LETTI here would go. Now I'm gonna read this letter,
and I'm gonna show you this ship ignorance or this

(04:01):
whole damn letter. My best friends are my ex this Steve,
I'm thirty three year old woman and I've been with
my husband eight years, married for five. My husband just
found out that my male best friend is my ex boyfriend.
Right there, I'd have told y'all you can't be friends
with somebody you attracted to. I'd have told y'all that,

(04:25):
now here come a letter. I also have a female
best friend that I used to have threesomes with. It's
a lot of information in this hill letter right here.
And I'm telling you right now, you got an ex boyfriend,
Your ex boyfriend is your best friend, and your best
girlfriend you used to have threesome with. That's already too

(04:47):
many damn people in this letter already. We ain't even
got out the first paragraph. I'm thinking about eight people
in here, all already, this room crowded. Now we are
all closed. And they loved my husband and he loved them.
That's a problem right there. How are you still close
and you married with all these people as supposed to

(05:10):
be your exes. It don't ever work out. I was
on FaceTime with my best friend, and here's another problem.
I want you to stop calling him your best friend
because this Finnic turned ugly. I was on the phone
FaceTime with my best friend the other night and he
mentioned the tattoo on my lower back and he said
he remembered when I got it. Wait a minute, right there,

(05:35):
all of us on this show that's married, can you
be on a FaceTime with a person of the opposite
sex talking about a damn tattoo that's on your lower
back or talking just on FaceTime? I wish I Hethel
would FaceTime, and I'm sitting up in here with Marge.
What dog this already? Okay? He mentioned the tattoo, and

(05:59):
he remember when I got it. My husband looked at
me so crazy and then told my best friend he
was out of line. Quit calling this man your best friend.
See this's the problem with this whole letter. Your best
friends ain't your friends. Then she said, my best friend
laughed and told my husband to chill out and loosen

(06:20):
up or he would screw his wife again. We need
to stop this damn letter right here. Before I started cussing,
We've been to go to commercial break because all I
want to do right now it's cuss And on the
commercial break, I'm gonna get all the cussing out and
then i'll be back. All right, loosen up, and I'm

(06:40):
gonna screw your wife again. Mother? WHOA? All right? Look,
we'll have part two of Steve's response if we still
have jobs when we come back at twenty three minutes
after the hour. Right after this, you're listening Steve Morning Show.
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject might best friends are my exes? That's all

(07:03):
I got to say about it right here. Okay, so
I've been cussing the whole break right, so now let
me get back into this eating it ass that it's
thirty to you old woman who's her best friend is
her ex boyfriend and her best female friend is a
woman that choosed to have threesomes with a lot of people.
In this letter, we've discovered that she was facetiming with
her best friend who was another man. The other night.

(07:25):
He mentioned the tattoo on my lower back and said
he remember when I got it. My husband looked at
me so crazy and then told my best friend he
was out of line. Quit calling him your best friend.
He just mentioned the tattoo on your lower back and
he remember when you got it. He didn't posted, no

(07:46):
nothing about this. Okay, here we go. My best friend laughed, laughed,
he laughed, and told my husband to chill out and
loosen up, or he would screw his wife again. See
I'm confused, he laughed. He talking to me. See, most

(08:14):
men listening to this letter cannot imagine a man laughing
telling him to chill out, or we almost screw your
wife again. What you laughed, oh doc? Oh? You didn't
got comfortable. Then the lady said, I almost fainted. My
best friend tried to say it was a joke. Oudn't
told your asked lady quick calling him your best friend.

(08:37):
This isn't the problem already, you keep referring to this
man as your damn best friend. And he tried to
say it was a joke. But my husband cuts him
out and said he'd better not see him anytime soon.
My best friend, here she go again, this health for
right here. She ain't learning why she keep calling this
fool hub. My best friend said he was on his

(09:00):
way over. There ain't a man living gonna tell me
to shut up and chill out, or you're gonna screw
my wife again. And then I promise you ass whipping,
and then you saying you on your way over. You're
not gonna believe what's gonna happen when you get him.
You're not even gonna believe this, the level of ass whipping,

(09:22):
the intensity of it. You brother, let me explain something
to you. You're not only driving over him for this
ass whipping. You are about to be in a near
death situation very close. Okay, He on his way over
less than an hour later, my male best friend showed
up at our apartment ready to fight. Wait a minute,

(09:45):
excuse me? Ready to fight for? What? What does he
have to fight for? See, lady, you're leaving something out
in this letter because if your ex boyfriend husband tells him,
I bet not see you soon, he says, I'm coming
over there, and thirty minutes later he drive over to

(10:07):
you and your husband's house ready to fight. My question
becomes ready to fight for what? Ain't nobody fighting over?
No fifteen year old booty call? This is something currently happening?
Or drive over here and whoop you over something that
happened fifteen years ago? Are you crazy? Well? Anyway, when

(10:31):
he got over there, this letter is the rest of
this letter. If I was in this letter is totally different.
I don't even why we're still writing. All the rest
of this is just a police report, So I don't
even know what how you still typing? He got up
in here and he drove over my house. My husband
went outside and made me stay inside. My crazy X
was yelling so loud. I heard him tell my husband

(10:51):
he slept with me for years and we had threesomes
with my female best friend. He bragged about our sexual pass.
Wait a minute, how he had time to say all this?
Yeah saying, Denison, what's what you mean? I heard him
yelling at he said, no, when you drove over hill,
that ass whipping, I promised you it commisses soon as

(11:15):
you get out to car. A matter of fact, that
ass women starting before you get out the car. Dog,
I'm busting you, wonder. I don't even understand this hill man,
this lady right here, and then for years and we
had threesomes with my female best friend. He bragged about
our sexual pass. My ex boyfriend and I vowed again again.

(11:36):
Here you go, you keep calling this man you're expoy friend,
You stupid, You so damned stupid. That's why you ain't
had no husband, because you keep putting value on this
dude right here. My ex best friend and I vowed
to keep our pass in the past, and we haven't
had sex and over fifteen years. I'm finding that hard

(11:58):
to believe, because ain't nobody drove over your house over
some sex that's fifteen years old. No, not, no black dude.
I don't know, no white dude do that. I don't
know no dude do that. They were so loud that
our neighbors came out and threatened to call the police.

(12:18):
Loud most asked. Women's I've been involved in have been
very quiet. You know, it's occasional grunting and stuff. But
all this loud talking. They're out there arguing. I don't
even know what. They're out there arguing about my ex.
Now here we go. My ex left left? How alive

(12:38):

(13:24):
Part three of today's Strawberry Letter. The subject is my
best friends are my ex's? I show hope y'all been
with me on this letter. Right here, this thirty three
year old woman got this ex boyfriend that's her best friend,
and her husband didn't know it. And today was talking
on the phone on the FaceTime which should have never happened.
And then he mentioned the tattoo on her back and
he remember when he got it. The husband said, hey man,

(13:45):

chill out, loosing up, I'm gonna screw your wife again.
The lady almost famed, and then she said, my best
friend tried to say it was a joke on husband.
Custom mount said he bet, and I've seen no time soon.
Then the best friend said he was on his way over.
Less than a half hour later, the male best friend
showed up at our apartment ready to fight, because she

and I slept. That's but that's all you all this
to how long and all that old? And we had
a three soon with your girlfriends, and I saw the tattoo.

I ain't none of that coming out, because see it's
just this too much argon right now. And then my
ex best friend and I vowed to keep our pass
in the past, and we haven't had sex and over

husband that threatened to do something to you about his wife. Well,

my house, bro, this is your last time. Now they

gunning He left in the corner back of the corner's car.
Hockey league cannot be meaning that he got back in

his car and my husband told me I could go
with him. Of course I stayed and tried to talk
some since into my husband. I can't you believe that
I'm finnh cry. But of course I stayed talk since
my husband. My husband said I'm a sneaky lyon woman,
and he gave me an ultimate ultimatum, either my friends

don't understand how your X was able to leave in
the same damn car he came in. You're gonna leave
in a vehicle, but it won't be in a car
