Speaker 1: junior subject. Just tell me the truth, Just tell me

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: the truth. Dear Stephen, Shirley. I've been dating a forty

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: two year old man for a while and his sister

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: is one of my old acquaintances from college. I don't

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: use the word friend to describe her because she's done

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: a lot of shady stuff lately. She introduced me to

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: her brother, and he initiated our relationship. At first, he

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: was dating someone else and his sister mate Sure I

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: knew it. She said she loves his ex girlfriend but

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: didn't want her dating her brother. I advised her to

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: stay out of her brother's affairs. I had to reiterate

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: this to her after her brother and I started dating.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: She used to call me with all kinds of rumors

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: and bs about his ex girlfriend and then would be

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: all up in her face on pictures and videos. I

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: started calling her a little liar, and her brother agreed

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: with me. A few nights ago, I ran into a

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: little liar at a hookah lounge and she was with

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: my man's ex girlfriend. I spoke and picked up my food.

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Then I went over to my boyfriend's house. While we

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: were eating, a picture of his sister and his ex

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: popped up on his phone, and his sister tected we

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: miss you. So I called his sister the next day

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: and I asked why she's taunting my boyfriends with pick

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: pictures of his ex. She said that my man would

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: not My man not only responded with heart emojis, he

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: came to have a drink with them. After I left

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: his house, she sent me a picture of the three

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: of them. I called him and went off and he

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: said it's all a lie, and it didn't go down

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: like that. He told me he was going to watch

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: a preseason game at a sports bar, not to hang

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: out with his ex girlfriend. I wish she told me first,

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: because his sister is such a liar. She claimed. She

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: deleted the texas that my man sent her before he

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: came to meet them at the lounge. What's going on here?

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: Can somebody just tell me the truth? Just tell me

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: the truth. Well, they both sound suspect to me. I'm

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: just gonna tell you. You said his sister is a

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: known liar, so much so that you gave her the

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: name little Liar. Now, the story about your boyfriend's chance

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: meeting with his sister and her ex at the bar,

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: that sounds ridiculous to me. It sounds crazy. Yes, his

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: sister is really messy. She even hangs out with his ex,

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: which is definitely not a good look. But I believe

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: her on this one. I believe the sister. You have

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: proof with the pictures she sent you. It was of her,

55
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: her brother, and the ex. That's why I don't believe

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the brother because what he told you sounds like a lie.

57
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: It sounds like a lie. He was just going to

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: watch a football game at a sports bar. Did he

59
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: even mention to you, you know, mention that to you? Uh,

60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: while you guys were eating at his house or afterwards?

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: You said no, Uh, this all happened after his messy

62
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: butt sister sent him the picture of her and the

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: X at the hookah loungs Right, So what does your

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: gut tell you? Why did you write this letter? What

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: is your gut telling you? Your instincts? So this is

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: all I have to say to you. Please do not

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: focus so much on your dislike for his sister that

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: it clouds your judgment and you don't hold your man

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: accountable for his lies. That's all I gotta say. Steve, Wow,

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of holes in this letter, this story,

71
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: in everything. I think the woman who wrote this letter

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: should slap this woman. Yeah, I'm dating a forty two

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: year old man and his sister one of my older

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: acquaints from college. I don't use the word friend to

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: describe her because she's done a lot of shady stuff lately. Okay,

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: let's go read it. She introduced me to a brother

77
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: and she he initiated our relationship. First, he was dating

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: someone else, and his sister made sure I knew it.

79
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: She said she loves his a girlfriend, but I didn't,

80
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: but didn't want her dating her brother. Okay, I advised

81
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: her to stay out the brother's affairs. I had to

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: reiterate this to her after her brother and I started dating.

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: Now we already but okay, ain't nothing wrong, but you

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: know you anyway, you didn't fail for the guide. Now

85
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: y'all dating and she's still in it. Now you just

86
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: told her she used to stay out of her brother's

87
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: affairs with her ex. What makes you think she gonna

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: stay out of her brother's fans with his current Which

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: is why O you you? She used to call me

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: with all kinds of rumors and be asked Abouty's ex

91
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: girlfriend and then would be all up in her face

92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: home pictures and videos. I started calling her a little liar,

93
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: and she is, but she's a big liar, and her

94
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: brother agreed with me. A few nights ago, I ran

95
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: into a little liar at a hookah lounge and she

96
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: was with my man's ex girlfriend. I spoke, picked up

97
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: my food, went over to my boyfriend's house. Y'all was eating.

98
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Picture of his sister and his ex popped up on

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: my phone. His sister texts, we miss you. I called

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: his sister next day and asked why she's telling my boyfriend.

101
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: She said that my man not only responded with heart emojis,

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: he came to have a drink with them after I

103
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: left his house. Then she sent me a picture of

104
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the three of them. God, but I called him and

105
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: went off and he said, it's all a lie, and

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: it didn't go down like that. Now my man is

107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: jumping through a loophole that was presented by the letter

108
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: writer he called. She called her his little sister, a

109
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: little liar. He agreed. So now when she calls you

110
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: and shows you the picture him, he jumps back into

111
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: the loophole that you created. That's a lie. That ain't

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: how that went down. That was a beautiful moment for him.

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Now when we come back, I'll show you how you

114
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: hold on. Hold on, Steve. We'll have bert two of

Speaker 1: brother of one of her old college mates that she

132
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be calling a friend. And she said that because

133
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: she's done a lot of shady stuff. She introduced her

134
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: college free and introduced her to her brother. Her brother

135
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: was dating somebody else at the time. Her sister claimed

136
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: the brothers her college roommate claimed that she didn't like him,

137
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: she didn't want him dating him. Blah blah blah blah blah.

138
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: Y'all started dating. So they started dating. And now the

139
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: little sister is telling her rumors and stuff about the X.

140
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: And then one day you go to the hookah lounge

141
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: and you see her and your brother's ex at the

00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: down like that. That was a beautiful moment for him

156
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: to jump into the loophole that was created by your

157
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: girlfriend who said your sister's a little liar. He agreed.

158
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Now he didn't jumped into it. Beautiful moment. Let's take

159
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: a moment to enjoy a mommy, man, John, take a moment.

160
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: And he said it was a lie and it didn't

161
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: go down like that. Now here's a lie. He told

162
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: me he was going to watch a preseason game at

163
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: a sports bar, not to hang out with his girlfrid. Right.

164
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I wish he told me be first, because his sister

165
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: is such a liar. No, no, no, Shirley, he is

166
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: the second loophole. Okay, she asked, his sister showed me

167
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: the text that he sent the heart emojis, and all

168
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: is here. She claims she deleted the text that my

169
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: man said, why why you got to delete your brother's text?

170
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Why do you have to delete your brother's text? Because

171
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: he was probably saying something like, oh the extra is fine, girl,

172
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: you know all of that. So she deleted that. Oh no, no, no, okay,

173
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: So the sister wanted her to see the pictures, but

174
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: don't don't want her to see them texts. Are you

175
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: kidding me? She didn't delete the picture. She didn't delete

176
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: the picture. I think the sister is lying. What's going

177
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: on here? Because somebody just tell me the truth. Well,

178
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: let's go over there for a second. Okay, what's going

179
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: on here? Come on your relationship within the man that

180
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: has a really messy sister that you've known this for

181
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: quite some time. Right now, Shirley says that your man

182
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: is lying that he did go down there to meet them,

183
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: because he got the picture to prove it. That is

184
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: a picture, and he would. He's not saying he wasn't there.

185
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. He is saying it didn't go down like that.

186
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: I was just going to sports whatever to watch a

187
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: preseason game. Mm hmmm. What he should have said was, okay,

188
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,359
Speaker 1: come on, come on, Me and my friends were scheduled

189
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: to meet there, and we all met at the preseason game,

190
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: and I'll be damned she was there. But now you

191
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: don't bring your boys into it, because don't nobody get

192
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: out of their house and go to no sports ball

193
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: by theirself to watch preseason football game. So you're giving

194
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: him a better lie, a better way. Yeah. Better wasn't

195
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: good enough. No, No, that's what it sounds like. Wasn't

196
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: thorough what his explanation wasn't there? See he didn't include

197
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: enough facts. See here's a problem with y'all women. Let

198
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: me just take what about the pick? Yeah, all that's true,

199
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: he said, But she's a lie. It didn't go down

200
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: like that. I just went down there to watch a

201
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: preseason football game. That's stupid, dog. You should have said

202
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: when you left. Me and my boys decided to go

203
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: watch a game with to the sports ball and my

204
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,679

205
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: got you. Yeah, then you then you got some pace

206
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: because don't nobody go to a preseason football game and

207
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: a sports bar by their self unless they're going to

208
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: meet someone. The guys, uh huh was just down there. See.

209
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,480
