1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Buche Lapman. Hold on tight, we got it for you. Here.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: It is the Strawberry letter, subject my husband and I

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: want our girlfriend back. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old married woman, and I found out

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: that my husband was sleeping with my girlfriend when Shirley

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: read my girlfriend Strawberry letter on the radio. Oops. I've

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: been married to a man for seven years and I

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend on the side for most of our marriage.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: My husband and I had some financial issues, so my

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: female friend, who was actually my lover, moved in with

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: us to help out with the bills. My husband had

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: no idea we were lovers, and I hope you can

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: remember that letter. Oh yes, we remember the letter quite well. Anyway,

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: the arrangement was perfect for me because my girl and

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: I would have fun together while my husband was gone

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: and my husband had no idea what was going on.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: Then my girl and my husband up having sex all

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the time, and they did a great job at hiding

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: it from me. We were all busted when you read

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: my girl's Strawberry letter. At the time, I had no

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: idea that my girl was even interested in having sex

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: with men, and certainly not my husband. Not my husband.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: And the biggest shocker was as she was pregnant. I

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: was furious because they had played me. I forced my

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: girl to move out of our house and I didn't

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: talk to my husband for nearly a month. Now I

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: realized that breaking up with my girl was a big mistake.

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: I miss our friendship and intimacy. I talked to my

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: husband about letting my girl move back in and he

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: is all for it if she and I can work

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: out our differences. But my girl is still angry with

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: me and she said that she doesn't want to move

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: back in to a messy situation. I just want to

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: put our family back together, especially since she's pregnant. Am

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: I asking for too much? How can I fix this? Please? Help?

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Can you believe this letter? Right? Jesus? We're a kid? Well, First,

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for listening to the Steve

Speaker 1: and aren't you and you know a bit of a

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: pickle with all this mess going on? This is what happens.

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, when you set out to play someone, you

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: usually are the one that gets played, And in this case,

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: it was your husband who ended up turning the tables

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: on you. But did he have to get the girl

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: pregnant too? That is my question? Did he have to

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: do that? Couldn't they use protection? I mean, how disrespectful

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: all of this? First of all, you bringing her in,

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: you doing her behind your husband's back, then her and

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: your husband doing each other behind your back, and then

50
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: getting pregnant on top of that. A mess, A mess,

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: a mess. But in any event, it looks like the

Speaker 1: husband don't know that her girlfriend is actually her lover.

103
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,160

00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: She said she had no idea her girl was even

109
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: interested in having sex with men, and certainly not my husband.

110
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: The biggest shocker was she pregnant because she confused she

00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: having sex so many times with y'all too, She don't know.

Speaker 1: Just do I need protection? If this on all official?

113
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Is this the real thing? What's happening? Nigger? Yeah? So

114
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,720

00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: wasn't you playing him? Yes? How what you mad at?

116
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: I forced my girl to move out of our house,

117
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: and I didn't talk to my husband for nearly a month. Now,

118
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I realized that breaking up with Tricky was a big mistake.

119
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I miss our friendship and intimacy. So I talked to

120
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: my husband about letting my girl move back in. Excuse me,

121
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: excuse me, excuse me, that's a miss print. I talked

122
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: to my husband about letting our girl moved back in,

123
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and he was all, far you damn writing woe? He said,

124
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: if she and I can work out our differences. But

125
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: my girl is angry with me, and she says, she

126
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: don't want to move back into a messy situation. What

127
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: what when did you think this way messy? Let me

128
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: let me tell you when it got messy. When she

129
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: asked you to move in and you was her girlfriend

130
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: slash lover, that was messy. But now you don't She

131
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: don't want to move back into this messy situation. I

132
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: just want to put our family back together. What what

133
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: when you say dysfunctional family, you had a whole new level,

134
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: like Leary say, like Shuley say. She feels sorry for

135
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: the baby because the baby's mama is pregnant by her

136
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: brother in law so to speak, which is would make

137
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: him the baby and uncle and the baby daddy. This

138
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: is crazy. The woman that's had tricky having the baby

139
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: is the mama, But then you is supposed to be

140
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: her friend like her sister. So you the baby's aunt,

141
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: but you really the baby's stepmother because you're married to

142
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: the daddy out the baby is. So when this baby

143
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: go to school, his first day is gonna be so confusing.

144
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: What is your mother's name? I'm not sure. Excuse me,

145
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who is your father? Or I know

146
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: who my father is, so he's your father. Well, he's

147
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: my father and my uncle. What why is he your

148
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: uncle because my mama's sister is married to him. Well,

149
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: then that's your uncle. How is he your father? Well

150
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: he became my father because his wife went to work

151
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: too much. What yeah, and that's how it happened. And

152
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: he just gonna are sliding on the sliding board. Yeah,

153
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: you didn't work through it no more. It's confusing him crazy.

154
