10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Thank you nephew. He let the two girls sleep over.

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: That is a subject. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm thirty eight

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: years old and my husband is forty two. We've been

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: married for six years and his business has taken off

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: in the past three years. He used to be a

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: club promoter and now he owns a lounge with three

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: other guys. I was scared to date a man that's

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: always in the streets, but he's proven that he's just

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: out to get the bag and bring it home so

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: he can spoil me. I trusted him until this past weekend.

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: It was his birthday weekend, so his partners threw him

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: an all white party. I went on home around one

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: point thirty am. He came in around three am and

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: crashed in all of his clothes. I woke up around

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: nine am to the sound of running water. I woke

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: my husband up and he said it was his two

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: homegirls upstairs getting ready to head out to a graduation.

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: I was like, what homegirls and what graduation? He told

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: me to trust him on this one. Instead of getting mad,

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: He told me to go with him to meet the girls.

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: We went up to our guest bedroom and I was

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: surprised to see two gorgeous women wrapped in two of

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: my best towels. They greeted me with big smiles. They

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: were just as sweet as they were cute. They thanked

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: us for letting them get a few hours of sleep

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: and said they would be leaving town after the graduation.

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't be. My

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: husband told me that one of the girls is the

38
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: daughter of a guy he went to school with, and

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: they planned to stay with a friend, but she ghosted them.

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I find this story hard to believe. I don't think

41
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: my husband is even aware of how dangerous it was

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: to have strangers in our home, or were they even strangers?

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Why didn't he call me to ask me first, because

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Okay, he

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: knows that had he called you first, you would have

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: said absolutely not, And who could blame you? What would

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: that even sound like? Look like, hey baby, I'm coming

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: home and I'm bringing guests, two beautiful young women to

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: spend the night. What No, No, Like you, I do

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: find this story very hard to believe. But it's so crazy,

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: it is so out there, so preposterous that he could

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: be telling the truth in this instance. Steve said, all

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: you need is reasonable doubt with a good lie, because

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: what husband would be stupid enough to bring two random

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: chicks to his house to spend the night knowing his

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: wife is there? Is he that drunk? I mean on

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: his birthday night? This is a very dangerous situation. What

58
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: wife is going to say yes to any of this?

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: The question is if one of these girls was the

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: daughter of someone you went to school with, why couldn't

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: she stay with her dad? Where was he? Or why

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: couldn't they stay with one of his other friends, one

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: of your husband's other friends, or one of his three

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: business partners. Your husband asked you to trust him on this,

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: but you need a whole lot of more information. There

66
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: are huge holes in this story. A lot of things

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: are left out. You said you were hesitant to marry

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: your husband in the first place because he was in

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: the streets. But so far he hasn't done anything to

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: make you not trust him until now. But all you

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: need is one time, right you left the party at

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: one thirty am. You need to find out exactly what

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: happened after that and until three am when your husband

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: finally made it home.

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: Steve lott Eimers, you don't care. No, I really care, fellas.

76
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: You know.

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: I try to help y'all, I really do.

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: I go above and beyond to try to come up

79
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: with something to help y'all. Y'all making it hard, though, Oh,

80
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: y'all making it hard. What the hell is going on?

81
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: I mean, dog, I'm trying to.

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Damn dog.

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: I can't do none of this. I can't do none

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: of this. I can't say this to my wife. I

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: can't do none of this. Matter of fact, nobody I

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: know can do this. Okay, here's a problem. You used

87
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: to be a club owner promoter. Now you got another

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: biz that's going on, and I guess he used to

89
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: just be a club promoter.

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Now he owns a lounge with three other guys.

91
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh lord, mercy.

92
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: Club own. It just got trouble written all over it.

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: It just ain't no way round it. And so now

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: here we go. You got these partners. You had a

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: birthday party, They throw all white party for you.

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: You go to the all white party for his birthday.

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: You leave and go home. Round one point thirty.

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: He show up at the house at three m crashed

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: it all his clothes.

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: All right, so far this story ain't going that bad.

101
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: So far not bad. You woke up around nine a m.

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: Nine in the morning to the sound of running water.

103
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: Where's your husband at? At this point? Does it say

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: in the letter Shirley? Where is he at?

105
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: He came home.

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: Crashed in all his clothes, woke up at nine? Where

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: was he? A?

108
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: Well, he was downstairs because the two homegirls were upstairs

109
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: getting ready.

110

Speaker 3: So he must still be in his clothes. Okay, that's

111

Speaker 3: good news. I woke my husband up and he said,

112

Speaker 3: was it? It was his two home girls upstairs getting

113

Speaker 3: ready to head out the graduation.

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: Home girls and friend's.

115
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: Daughter ain't shouldn't be in the same sense. Hang on,

116
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: that's the problem. I can't fix this for you.
