Speaker 3: Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1: Thank you, ne f you subject missing from the party,
Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley. My boyfriend and I went to a
Speaker 1: house party and all of our same friends were there
Speaker 1: and some new people that I met for the first time.
Speaker 1: James brought three females with him and he called them
Speaker 1: his cousins. I made sure to get to know them,
Speaker 1: and I found out they are not really related to James.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend made sure he got to know them too,
Speaker 1: and I couldn't believe that he was almost flirting with
Speaker 1: one of them in my face. I wasn't overly concerned
Speaker 1: because he pointed to me and told them I'm his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Around midnight, I was smoking hookah with my girls and
Speaker 1: realized that I hadn't seen my boyfriend in a while,
Speaker 1: so I sent him a text. He didn't answer. I
Speaker 1: went inside and I didn't see him. The house was
Speaker 1: packed and it was hard to move around. I went
Speaker 1: to both bathrooms and he wasn't there. I even looked
Speaker 1: in the garage and he wasn't out there. I texted
Speaker 1: him a few more times and he didn't answer. A
Speaker 1: light bulb went off in my head and I started
Speaker 1: looking for the girls that came with James.
Speaker 4: I didn't see them anywhere.
Speaker 1: Then my boyfriend ran up to me and asked if
Speaker 1: everything was okay because I had texted him back to back.
Speaker 1: He told me that I needed to focus on enjoying
Speaker 1: myself instead of worrying about where he was. He said
Speaker 1: he was in the front yard with James smoking weed,
Speaker 1: and yes, Jamee's female quote unquote cousins were there too,
Speaker 1: of wanting one of the girls, and he said, I
Speaker 1: sound crazy. If I'm crazy, then why didn't he come
Speaker 1: out and say I got it all wrong? He refuses
Speaker 1: to talk about that night, so he looks guilty. If
Speaker 1: it's nothing, then why can't he discuss it. If it's nothing,
Speaker 1: then why can't he discuss it? Because you already know
Speaker 1: you don't just leave your girl at the party and
Speaker 1: go about your business without telling her. He could have
Speaker 1: told you where they were, answered your phone, or how
Speaker 1: about just coming to check on you. You both at
Speaker 1: the same party. If he leaves you alone, come and
Speaker 1: at least check on her. That was bad, really bad
Speaker 1: boyfriend behavior. And then he told you that you sounded crazy.
Speaker 1: You don't sound crazy, You sound perfectly fine. Don't let
Speaker 1: him do that to you. He's the one who's got
Speaker 1: a whole lot of explaining to do, but now he
Speaker 1: won't talk to you about it. That's not helping his
Speaker 1: situation at all. I mean, what is the harmon telling
Speaker 1: you where he was if he wasn't doing something crazy? Okay?
Speaker 1: Why the silent treatment? You guys have to talk at
Speaker 1: some point, and you need to decide if he or
Speaker 1: this relationship, this is a really thing, is worth taking
Speaker 1: this type of treatment for him, for him going off
Speaker 1: leaving you. And here's my last question. Who is James?
Speaker 4: Okay? Who is James? Tommy, find that out? Who is Jane?
Speaker 3: I want to party with Jane. That's all I want
Speaker 3: to do. I want to hang out with Jane. James
Speaker 3: got it going on? They got who could, They got
Speaker 3: some weed, they got some drinks. They party and his
Speaker 3: party is packed. That's my thing is can I kick
Speaker 3: it with me some James? Because James, how Jane got
Speaker 3: play cousins? Ain't nothing like a play cousin. Jane got
Speaker 3: play cousin. He hanging out and you feel a little.
Speaker 4: Left out.
Speaker 2: You feel left out?
Speaker 3: Well you know what, but you they left you out
Speaker 3: because you really you kind of like a little party pooper.
Speaker 3: You really are right. You're running all over the house
Speaker 3: looking for James, looking for when I James? You running
Speaker 3: all over out looking for your boyfriend. And he in
Speaker 3: the front He in the front yard with James and
Speaker 3: the girl and everybody hanging out and everybody having a
Speaker 3: good time.

Speaker 3: You you counting bathrooms? They got two bathrooms that you're
Speaker 3: doing stuff like that. You should have been kicking it
Speaker 3: and having a good time. Now you won't let your
Speaker 3: man kick it and hang out with James like he

Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject
Speaker 1: is missing from the Party. A young woman wrote in.
Speaker 1: She said her boyfriend, she and her boyfriend went to
Speaker 1: a house party and all of their same friends were there.
Speaker 1: They met some new people too for the first time,
Speaker 1: and out of nowhere, she just brings up the name James.
Speaker 1: James brought three females with him and he called them
Speaker 1: his cousin. She made sure to get to know them,
Speaker 1: and she found out they were not really related to James.
Speaker 1: She said her boyfriend made sure he got to know
Speaker 1: the three so called cousins too, and he told them.
Speaker 1: He told the three cousins that she was his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: But then he kind of you know, went off with
Speaker 1: James and left her to himself and left her to herself,
Speaker 1: and she went all over the house looking for James.
Speaker 1: She texted James, she texted her boyfriend. No boyfriend, no nothing,
Speaker 1: no play cousins, nothing. She went to the two bathrooms
Speaker 1: to look for him. She couldn't find them. Finally, her
Speaker 1: boyfriend comes running to her, what's the wrong.
Speaker 4: Are you okay? Are you okay? And she just said,
Speaker 4: I haven't.
Speaker 1: Seen you, And she said, I've been out there kicking
Speaker 1: it with James. Evidently James is the man around here
Speaker 1: these parts. So they've been out there smoking weed and yeah,
Speaker 1: with James's cousins. So she wants to know what is
Speaker 1: going on and if nothing's going on, because her boyfriend
Speaker 1: refuses to talk to her about what he and James
Speaker 1: and the cousins were doing. So why can't he discuss
Speaker 1: it if nothing was going on? So we're going to
Speaker 1: talk to a real play cousin. Uh yeah, right now,
Speaker 1: and that is Junior. Junior, what you got?
Speaker 5: Uh?
