Speaker 1 (00:12):
We could be reading your letter live on the air,
just like we're going to read this one right here,
right now, and you never know, it could be yours.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on time.
We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry letter.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you, nephew. Subject to my sweetheart, ain't sweet? Dear
Stephen Shirley, My fiance is six years older than me.
I have been with her for a total of six years.
I proposed to her four years ago and we set
a date. She and her best friend fell out right
after she was chosen as a maid of honor, so
my fiance lost all of her excitement for the wedding.
(00:47):
I started to see a pattern of how she falls
out with people for the silliest things. These past years
have been eye opening for me and I realize that
she is a shallow and self absorbed per. This past Christmas,
she gave me a list of designer clothes and shoes
that she wanted with stock numbers so I wouldn't mess
(01:08):
up and get the wrong thing. She gave me the
list in November so I would have time to purchase everything.
I'm always strapped for money. I pay all of the
household expenses, and my cash goes to her for braids, weaves,
and expensive gifts for her family members. I was only
able to get three gifts from her list because I'm
(01:29):
not cool with running up a credit card with clothes
that she will only wear once. She looked disappointed while
she was opening the gifts, and she had the nerve
to ask if I will get the rest of the
gifts for Valentine's Day. Meanwhile, I opened my gifts from
TJ Max and Marshalls that she bought with the tags
still on them, so I know exactly what she spent.
(01:51):
She stopped having sex with me, and she won't go
to church with me anymore. She talks to her friends
so crazy, and I'm so grateful she doesn't try that
with me. She's going to know I'm fed up when
she doesn't get the gifts she wants or the flowers
she's already picked out for Valentine's I might get her
some flowers from the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But that's it. Do I keep.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Pretending that I still love this chick? Or is it
time to bounce? It's way past time to bounce. Why
are you still there? Is the question.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
You're unhappy, You're miserable. You don't have to be.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
This woman is draining your bank account and the love
is gone. You should go too, because you can get
someone who appreciates and love what you do, especially if
you're paying all the household bills and all that. In
other words, you can get a real woman here, not
some insecure little girl who finds her value in labels
and designer clothes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Look at what you do.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You pay all the household bills, you take care of her,
her braids, her nails, all that, and you propose to her.
She's too materialistic, too selfish. You're paying for her to
buy gifts for her family. She's not even had having
sex with you even anymore. I mean, come on, stop
the madness in this relationship. You gotta let this one go.
(03:07):
I just hate it when good people get taken advantage
of like this, and that's what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Nothing here, There is nothing here.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Their entire letter, from top to bottom is filled with
nothing that this man gets. He gets no return on
his investment, no ROI, nothing, nothing. Look, man, you wrote
the right show for this one. I'm gonna tell you
(03:38):
right now you ain't even got to.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Get a divorce. All you got to do is walk off.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I strongly suggest you do that before you'll find yourself
in a divorce situation.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Walk off. Think about this. What would you lose by
lou using her?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Now think about what she would lose if she lost you.
The reason she don't talk to you crazy, like you
said in this letter, is cause you buying everything she crazy,
But she ain't that crazy. She's six years older than you.
You've been with her six years. You proposed to her,
(04:23):
but then she had a fallen out with the y'all
set a date. Then she had a maid of honor
she had a fall out with, so she lost her
excitement for the wedding.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That don't make no damn sen.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That makes no damn sense at all, because this is
almost like a how dare her on the most important
day of my life? How dare she fall out with me?
Who was giving her an opportunity of a lifetime. I
tell you what we ain't even gonna have no opportunity. Now,
(04:56):
who do that? I don't know a woman that's gonna
cancel her wedding because she all out with a brides made.
I don't know nobody. Get that dress in another size
and let's go. Then she said you start to see,
and you said you see a pattern how she falls
out with people for the silliest things.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Then here's the key line for this letter for me.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
These past years have been eye opening for me, and
I realize she's a shallow and self absorbing person.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
When something becomes eye opening, then see what you see,
acknowledge what you see with your eyes open, and act accordingly.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's part of the problem I'm going through right now.
On a personal.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Note, I got my eyes open and I see something. Now,
Steve Harvey, all you got to do is see what
you see, it is what it is, and make the adjustments.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Thank you laugh for this strawberry letter today.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Amen, Amen, Amen, And.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
I realized that she is shallow and of self absorbed
pet person.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now real quickly.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
This Christmas, she gave me a list to design and
clothes and shoes she wanted stock numbers so I wouldn't
mess it up. She gave me to listen in November
so I would have time to purchase everything. I'm always
strapped for money. I pay her bills, her hair, her wives,
and I give her money for gifts for her family.
She opened up to give some Christmas she disappointed, wanting
to know if she can get the rest of it
(06:35):
on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Let me tell you what you finish get on Valentine.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Hang it right there.
Speaker 1 (06:39):

Speaker 1 (07:23):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter,
the subject my sweetheart ain't sweet?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, if your sweetheart ain't sweet?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Wo whoa, whoa?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
What I mean? What is we do it? You're not
even married, bruh. Listen to me.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Like I said earlier, you wrote the right person because
you can get away from this without a due force.
You could just walk off. You could just walk off.
She has no value to your life. You've discovered that
she's a self absorbent, narcissist person.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It's all about her.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You constantly strapped for cash because you pay all the bills,
you pay for her braids, her extensions, you pay for
all her whis and her family's expensive gifts. Then for Christmas,
she gave you a list of clothes that she wanted,
has stock numbers on it, so you wouldn't mess up
and get the wrong thing. She gave you list in November,
so you had time to purchase everything. Then you said
(08:23):
you always strapped for money because you pay all the
household expenses and you were only able to get three
gifts from her list, because I'm not cool. Three gifts
is a nice Christmas man.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
If somebody opened up three boxes.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
That's pretty good though, and stuff she wanted, probably some
shoes and all this here or whatever. And then you said,
I'm not cool with running up a credit card with
clothes that she only gonna wear one Who is this?
Somebody asked me on stage one time, Steve, I heard
(09:01):
you only wear your shoes one time.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You can quit under hearing that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Well, hell, you think I'm buy this damn high ass
suit and wear it one time? Now what I do
do is mix them up. Well, you're gonna see it
with a different shirt and tie. You're gonna see jacket
with some pants. You're gonna see the pants with another jacket.
You're gonna see all kinds stuff. Oh, it looks like
I'm loaded, but we ain't wearing it just once. And
then she looked disappointed while she was opening her gifts,
(09:30):
and then it had the nerve to ask her, I'm
gonna get the rest of gifts for Valentine's Day. Valentine Day, Baby,
I can't even tell you how we ain't gonna be
together on Valentine's Day. As soon as we have sex tonight,
whatever little sex you're gonna give me for these little
three gifts. So you're find to get three packaged sex.
But then guess what you open up your gifts from TJ,
Max and Marshall and the tag still on, so you
(09:52):
know exactly what she spent. Naw Here with the crazy part,
I'm thinking, after I buy you these three boxes, I'm
gonna get some three box six. And she stopped having
sex with me and won't go to church with me
no more. And here we do it. So now we're
(10:16):
not married, we're not having sex no more, and you're
not going to church.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Okay, I got.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
You ain't coming to church. I got that you don't
like the choir, you don't care for the pastor.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I got that.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Let's get back on this. We ain't having sex no more?
Did I just buy the three boxes for Christmas? I
got to get some three box six at least that
what you're not finna do insteady over no packages, untied
(10:52):
rivers and tann open paper and we ain't untied.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Blouses and tann oh cold. That ain't finna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
We buy gifts for you to open so we can
open it up something later on. As a matter of fact,
as you open, keep hold open it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Hey the chick say man, hey, man, and y'all know this.
Don't get stupid.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Now, let's get on down here. She talked to her
friend so crazy, and I'm so grateful. She don't try
that with me. She don't try with you because you
the water foster, you pouring out the blessing. Now she's
going to know I'm fed up when she doesn't get
the gifts she wants or the flowers she already she
(11:38):
already picked out her flowers of Valentine's Day. I might
get her some flowers from the grocery store. That'd be
real slipedog. Get your little skinny ass bunched tooth, you know,
two three flowers in it. But that's it. Do I
keep pretending that I still love this chick? Or is
it time to bounce? That's the end of the letter
right there, because if you got to pretend that you
(12:01):
still love this chick, it been time to bounce. I'm
talking about bounce like Kyrie Irvin do a basketball when
he coming up the flow and do the crossover coast
to coast. That's how hard we find to bounce. I'm
fin to bounce you like a super ball I had
that I threw so hard up against the tree it
bounced on the car to ground and broke Miss pains.
(12:23):
Wasn't uh oh, I'm fin to bounce on you like
a sheet of fabric sawer. That's how hard we find
to bounce. I find to bounce on you like I
saw when I was young, and I saw that the
first time I saw a woman body bounce. My brother
brought this girl over to the house named Penny. I
was eleven years old. Penny came walking in the house
(12:44):
and her whole butt was shaking.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I love Penny. When he broke up with Penny.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I cried, you were hurt.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I cried ever. I was toe up.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I was in my bed my brother and my brother
came home. I asked my brother, like that little boy
as the president, what the eff is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
My brother?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Slap taste own my mom. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time
to bounce. Bounce like a booty, bounce, bounce like a basketball,
bounce like a Sheeta fabric software. But it's time for
you to go. She hate the ward and you could
do this without a divorce. Bye, fly like an eagle.
