I 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: live next door to the Magic Woman. Dear Stephen Shirley. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm a thirty six year old single woman and my 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: new next door neighbor has me concerned. She's a pretty 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: girl in her late twenties, and she was nice enough 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: when I met her. Here's my problem. Her bedroom window 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: faces my bedroom window, so I have to keep my 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: blinds closed for privacy. She always keeps her window cracked, 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 1: and night after night, usually during the week, I can 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: hear very loud moans and whimpers coming from next door. 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: I hear furniture moving around and creaking, and it keeps 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: me from resting at night. I thought I could get 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: used to it, but then the noises started lasting four hours. 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: I might fall asleep by eleven pm to the noises, 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: to the noises, and wake up for work at five 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: thirty am, and the noises are still going on. Last Tuesday, 18 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: I was getting ready for bed and my doorbell rang. 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: I peeped out and said, yes, who is it. The 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: man on the other side of my door asked me 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: if I was the magic Woman. I told him no 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: and told him to try next door. Then I went 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: to my window and watched him check his phone and 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: then walk over to my neighbor's house. Was in thirty minutes, 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: the noises started and went on for at least two hours. 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: After that, I started watching her every other night, and 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: she had all kinds of men coming and going. Some 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: were louder than others. I want to tell the neighborhood 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: Association about her, but my sister told me, I'm jealous 30 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: and I'm hating on the Magic Woman because I can't 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: pay a man to come to mind. I can't pay 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: a man to come to my house. There is no 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: way I'm jealous. I just do not want this wild 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: prostitution ring this close to me. Steve, I know you're 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: going to have jokes, but I really need to know. 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: But see if I know you're gonna have jokes, but 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: I really need to know if I should report the 38 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Magic Woman or not. Please advise, all right, this is 39 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: quite alarming, especially since this young lady, this nice enough 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: young lady as you call her, live so close to 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: you and you can hear everything that's going down. You 42 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: need your rest. You don't want to hear all of 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: this all night long. You know, I would say something 44 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: to the neighborhood association. I would not necessarily that there's 45 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: a prostitution ring going on, but say something about the noises. 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Maybe she can close her window and you won't have 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: to hear that. Okay, your sister is a hater herself. 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: It sounds like, I mean, she just came out and 49 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: told you that you're jealous of her and you're hating 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: on the magic woman because you can't pay a man 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: to come to your house. Wow, where'd that come from? 52 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, you know, you can't necessarily prove it's 53 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a prostitution ring going on over there, although from every 54 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: indication it seems like that what is going on. But 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: maybe she could just close her window so you won't 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: have to hear it. That's what I would report that there. 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: It's too loud over there. My neighbor reported me because 58 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: some of my branches from my yard were in her yard. 59 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: So I got a letter from the neighborhood, from the 60 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: homeowners association. I was mad about it, but I did 61 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: she'd had some of the branches in her yard. I 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: did have my gardeners. I give you something, call down 63 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: that fall right. Are we called? Are we telling? She 64 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: told m me. Though, all right, Steve, Yeah, let's start 65 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the letter. Steve, I know you're 66 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna have jokes.

But 132 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: now you're gonna send him off. Now he over the 133 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: front that you're moving around you made. There's no way 134 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm jealous. I just do not want this wild prostitution 135 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: ring this close to me. Now, y'all tell them if 136 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: I could say this or not. You don't know that 137 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: she's a prostitute, Oh, I said that. You don't know 138 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: that prostitution and hoeing is different. Well, I mean that 139 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: is a true statement. Though one making money, one is 140 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: for money, one is just for fun. You know, I 141 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: don't even know if it's for fun sporting. So I 142 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: don't know which one we're dealing with him. Now, you 143 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: you guess assuming that you're hoping it's prostitution that's going 144 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: on next though, it's got to be because there's so 145 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: many men coming in and out. Yeah. I don't think 146 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: you're just doing that for fun. I think we got 147 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: to be getting some type of financial liberties for this. 148 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: That ain't the smartest way to make money, but it 149 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: is the oldest profession, yea, in the world. But have 150 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: you thought about a couple of things Before you report 151 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: her up to the neighborhood watch Association and she got 152 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: all this extra income coming in, have you ever thought 153 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: of managing her? She that way? The next time they 154 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: knock on your dough and they say it is you 155 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: the magic woman? You said no, but I can point 156 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: you to her. Here is the payment, and then you 157 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: take yours off the top and give her the rest. 158 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Oh, if she's making that much money 159 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: and you stay right next dough, have you thought about 160 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: because you liked her when you first met her, you 161 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: said that at the top, have you thought about it 162 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: taking in a roommate. You can hear something going on 163 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: in your house, that's right, Then you can get control 164 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: of this income and turn it into a business. I mean, 165 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm just asking you. D She says, Steve, I know 166 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: you have jokes. I cannot let her down.
