1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you here.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: It is the strawberry lest subject my first major dating

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: mistake with brothers, dear uncle Steve and Aunt Shirley. I

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: am a young female that graduated from high school two

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, and uh, I am in a sticky situation.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: You see. After graduation, I met a guy on an

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: online app and we texted back and forth and decided

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: to spend some time together. We ended up going on

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: dates and messing around a lot. He is a really

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: great person, but he was not the one for me,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: so we ended our fling. We stayed in touch for

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: a while through text messages, but that was about it.

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: Last November, I met a new guy and he and

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: I are in a committed relationship. So things were great

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: until we went to a New Year's Eve party and

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the guy from my past was at the party. As

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: if it were not awkward enough seeing him, I found

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: out that this guy and my boyfriend our brothers allowed

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: my boyfriend to introduce us, and neither one of us

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: gave away our big secret. I may be overthinking this,

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: but I do not want this guy to drive a

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: wedge in my relationship by telling his brother about all

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: of the wild stuff we used to do. It's been

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: very awkward whenever all three of us are around each other.

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: I think I should come clean and mentioned to my

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: new guy that I used to mess with his brother.

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Do you think that he knows already and likes me

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: so much that he's not saying anything. I don't want

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: my past to ruin our future. I really value your advice,

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: so please help me. Well, so far, he hasn't told

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: his brother, right, So what makes you think he's gonna

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: tell him at all? I mean, I do think you're

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: overthinking this a bit. If you're if you're truly in

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: a committed relationship, like you say, it might not matter

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: to him. He hasn't mentioned it to you. You haven't

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: said that in the letter that he's mentioned it at all.

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: So I think you're a young lady. I think you

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: need to know and you'll learn in life that stuff

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: is going to happen steph have in life that you

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: have absolutely no control over. And I think that's just

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: what happened here. You met his brother first. Uh, you

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: guys were both very young. You've matured now, you've moved

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: on as people do. You said in your letter he

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: was not the one for you, so you guys ended it.

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: So to you, I just say, stop feeling guilty, stop

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: feeling some kind of way when you're with your new man.

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: All of that. I mean, life goes on. Let this go,

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: live your life. Stop worrying about the past. If it

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: comes up, you can say that was a long time ago.

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: It's over. Well you know, it's just over. Sorry I

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: didn't say anything, but it's over. It didn't mean anything

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: to me. We're together now, Steve. Well, that came from

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: your aunt Shirley. Yes, that's real, nice, hopeful, optimistic response.

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Lets you feel better about yourself and all that now.

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Because you are a young female, I want to try

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: to do the same thing for you, but you're enough

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: sticky situation. This guy that you ended up going on

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the date messing around with a lot, really great person,

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: but he was not the one for me. So we

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: ended it. But you stayed in touch for a while

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: through text message. Well you know, we all know what

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: was on the text message, what what they was doing.

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: What you know they were sexty, they were on show

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,680

Speaker 1: and neither one of us gave away our big secret.

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: I'll be overthinking. I might be overthinking this, but I

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: do not want this this guy to drive awage in

73
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:09,240

Speaker 1: he ain't do nothing wrong. You said it was. He

76

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,359

80
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,600

82
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: It's been awkward whenever three of us around each other.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I think I should come clean and mentioned to my

84
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: new guy that I used to mess with his brother.

85
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Do you think that he knows already and likes me

86
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: so much that he's not saying anything? Uhh, you can

87
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: take that out your mind. That ain't how men work.

88
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Do you think he knows already and it likes me

89
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: so much that he not saying anything? What Hey, Oh no,

90
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: your boyfriend don't know nothing about this. I don't want

00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: my past ruin my future. I really value you advice,

92
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: so please help me. Here's two things you got going

93
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: for you. Number one, your boyfriend's brother may not want

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: to hurt his brother by by saying something if he

95
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: thinks his brother is happy, so maybe he won't say nothing.

96
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: On the other hand, he may not want to hurt

97
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: his brother by not telling him, because if it come out,

98
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be looking up beside his brother's head. The

99
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: best thing for you to do is shut your damn mouth. Now,

100
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: this is taking a page from the men's playbook. Why

101
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: would you bring up an issue that ain't an issue?

102
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Why would you tell the truth when saying nothing at

103
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: all sounds much better? I'm gonna repeat that. Why would

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: you tell the truth when saying nothing at all sounds

105
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: so much better? Shut your damn mouse. Don't say nothing

106
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: to your Boyfrid. Act like you ain't never seen that

107
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: other dude, and then if it come out, just say

108
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know until I saw him at the New

109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: Year's Eve party and I was too embarrassed. I felt horrible.

110
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: That's all you can do, and then throw yourself at

111
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: the mercy of the court. When we come back, Jay

112
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: and I will do reenact me. Please let J play

113

00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: be the brother. Trying to find out if what I'm

115
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: thinking is happening it really happened. Let this girl I

Speaker 1: her Boyfrid introduced him as his new woman and his brother.

125
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: They both kept a secret, a secret they didn't say

126
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: nothing to each other. Boom. Maybe the brother don't want

127
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: to hurt his brother and ain't gonna ever hurt him

128
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: by telling you. Maybe it could be y'all secret, but

129
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: we don't know. Then again, he may have to tell

130
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: his brother, because, man, I can't let you go on

131
