10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: My husband has her spare key. Dear Stephen Shirley. I've

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: been married to a caring and loving man for almost

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: fourteen years. We have a great life with good friends,

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: and we travel a lot. He has two children that

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: live with their mother, and I have two dogs. When

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: we travel, my good friend keeps my dogs. She's a

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: divorced single mother, so we often include her in our

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: outings because I told her she isn't going to meet

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: any good men sitting in the house. My husband treats

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: her like a stepchild and teases her about being the

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: third wheel. We also have close friends that live down

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: the street from us, and my husband is close to

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: the husband. But the wife gets on my nerves because

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: she loves to stir up mess. My husband wants me

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: to stop hanging with her, and now I know why.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: It's because she brought something to my attention that I

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: would have overlooked. The other day, my friend dropped her

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: house keys in a storm drain by mistake. She called

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: my husband for her spare keys, and my husband was

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: down the street at our friend's house. The wife called

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: me and asked why my husband has keys to my

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: girlfriend's house. I didn't know that we had keys to

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: her house, but it wasn't a big deal because we're

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: both worried about her living alone. I assumed she gave

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: us a set of keys after her divorce, and I forgot.

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not totally crazy, though, so I asked my husband

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: if the keys have always been hanging in the laundry

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: room with our other spare keys. He says yes, but

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: he did not come home first to get any keys.

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Before he went to unlock the door. He must have

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: had the keys on him. Why didn't she call me

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: to bring her the spare keys. Should I question my

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: husband and my girlfriend? Or is this a coincidence? Please

43
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: help me understand well, we're gonna try, that's for sure.

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. I think this sounds kind of crazy.

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: I just do. Why does he have her keys? Why

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: does he because surely he's not stupid enough to cheat

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: right down the right down the street on the same block.

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: He can't be that stupid. What happened with the whole

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, she's a step child thing and all of that.

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: And why is she calling your husband? Why is she

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: doing that? Period? There are rules to this, and she

52
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: should have called you. You're absolutely right, she should have

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: called you for that. But I guess they didn't want

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: you to know that he had the keys in the

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: first place. And that's why this is so suspect to me,

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: because she didn't do the right thing. She should have

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: called you. And I don't know why he's carrying these

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: keys around with him. Why does he have to have

59
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: keys to her house? That is the question. Why did

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: he lie to you and say yes, the keys were

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: hanging in the laundry room with the other spare keys.

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: The obvious answer is so he can get in her

63
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: house at any time, right, So it sounds like he

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: could have been over there before because the keys have

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: been on the hook at your house, like he said,

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: you said, you guys had several spare keys on that

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: hook in the laundry room. So this is what I

68
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: suggest you find out what's going on with those other

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: spare keys while you're at it. Something is going on

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: with these keys, and you know, you know what you feel,

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: you know your instincts. Steve, Oh the way, I'm gonna

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: handle this right here because also see uh bro bro

73
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: bro men, men, men, men, men. First of all, I

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: don't understand the lot. I don't understand the friendships they got.

75
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: Now you're married to a loving man for fourteen years.

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Y'all got a great life with good friends, and you

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: travel a lot. He got two children that live with

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: their MoMA, and I got two dogs. Ain't none of

79
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: this has got nothing damn thing to do with this letter.

80
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: When we travel, my good friend keeps my dogs. She's

81
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: a divorced single mother, so we often include her in

82
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: our audience. That means she has some kids. Y'all kids

83
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: live with the ex wife or the husband. So I

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: guess y'all taking out because you feel sorry for him.

85
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: I guess because I told her she isn't going to

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: meet any good men sitting in the house. My husband

87
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: treats her like a stepchild, teases her about being the

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: third wheel. We also have close friends that live down

89
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: the street from us. My husband is close to the husband,

90
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: but the wife gets on my nerves because she loves

91
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: to stare up mess. Now. It's a lot of walking

92
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: down the street going on here at this house. To me,

93
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: I ain't I ain't been in this world in a

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: long time. And I apologize if I sound bushie, but

95
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: I ain't had no friends house I walk down to

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: down the street in the long ass time. I don't

97
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: live in that type of neighborhood, but it can happen.

98
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. And you should

99
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: have some cool relationship with some people in your neighborhood,

100
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: so I don't really have a problem with that. It's

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520

Speaker 1: the damn dogs. My husband is close to the husband.

104
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: The wife get on your nerve because my husband wants

105
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: me to stop hanging with her now. And I know

106
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: why because she bought something to my men that I

107
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: would have overlooked. The other day, my friend dropped her

00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: friend down the street that's divorce and they include her

125
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: in their outings because you told her she ain't gonna

126
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: be no good men sitting in the house. Okay, your

127
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: husband treats her like a stepchild, teaches her about being

128
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: a third wheel. Now she down the street. Right, But

129
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: they also got some close friends that live down the

130
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: street from us, and your husband is close to the

131
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: husband and the wife getting on my nerves because she

132
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: stayed up mess. My husband now wants me to stop

133
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: hanging with her, and now I know why. Well, I

134
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: thought you didn't like her. Though I thought you didn't

135
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: like it. She gets on your nerves because she stays

136
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: up mess. Then you say right after that, my husband

137
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: wants me to stop hanging with her, And now I

138
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: know why because when she bought something to my and

139
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: I would have overlooked it. Here's the whole situation. The

140
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: other day, my friend dropped her house keys in a

141
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: storm drained by mistake. Okay, y'all, I don't know what's

142
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: the chances of that happening. She must have been walking

143
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: up the street again, going to see one of her

144
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: friends all this day, walking up the street and dropped

145
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: the keys in the storm drain by mistake. She called

146
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: my husband for her spare keys, and my husband was

147
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: down the street at our friend's house. The wife called

148
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: me that this is the messy wife and asked me

149
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: why my husband has keys to my girlfriend's house. I

150
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: didn't know that we had keys at house, but it

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal because we were both worried about

152
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: her living alone. Well, your husband is really concerned about

153
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: her being alone. I assumed she gave us a set

154
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the keys after her divorce, and I forgot. See, women

155
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: don't forget nothing, So you can stop that. You know

156
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: good and well that she gave y'all a set of

157
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: keys after her divorce and I forgot. No, you didn't,

158
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: that's how you know, So watch this. I'm not totally crazy, though,

159
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: so I asked my husband if the keys have always

160
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: been hanging in the laundry room without other spare keys,

161
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: she knew where the woman's house key was, y'all, don't

162
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: don't believe it's grown. Woman doesn't forgot that another woman

163
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: gave him some keys in their house. Women don't forget

164
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: a damn thing. He said, yes, but he did not

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: come home first to get any keys. Before he went

166
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: to unlock the door, he must have had the keys

167
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: on him. Why didn't she call me to bring her

168
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 1: to spare key? Should I question my husband and my girlfriend?

169
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Or is this a coincidence? Please help me understand, lady.

170
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're confused you're stupid. I don't

171
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: really know what's going on. We don't have enough information

172
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: here because you don't have anything that says he's seeing

173
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: this woman. You claim to have forgot God forgotten about

174
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: her giving y'all the key, but you do know it

175
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: whether this woman gave y'all a key or not. And

176
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: then you ask him if the keys have always been

177
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: hanging in the laundry room with other spare keys. He

178
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: said yes, he not lying. He could have an extra key,

179
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: He could have had a key made. She could have

180
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: gave him another one. I don't know what happened. I

181
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: don't know what your husband doing down the street. But

182
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: y'all need to move off this damn street scene. It's

183
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: just too much going yo yo. Block is hot. You

184
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: got it going down right here, y'all you live at

185
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: a block party. That's the problem right here. It's too

186
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: many people know, too many people, doing too many things

187
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: with too many other people. I can't help you. Look,

188
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: nothing says your husband is seeing this woman that I

189
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: can think of. Now, if you want to question your

190
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: husband and your girlfriend, you might can find out because

191
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: the woman right there, she just said he went to

192
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: the house. You don't know if your husband came back

193
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: to the house and got him from the laundry room

194
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: or what. You don't know that you could have missed

195
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: that he could have had the keys on him doing

196
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: some mouse. You don't know that. I don't know that.

197
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: But damn the little messy woman that you said you

198
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: didn't like? What what about her? What? This healther? Always

199
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: starting some with her miserable, unhappy ass See, hurt people,

200
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: hurt people, That's what I know for a fact. So

201
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: I ain't really tripping on that. You know, people can

202
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: go do like they want to. I don't really, I don't.

203
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: But I can't say that your husband is really seeing

204
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: this woman because you have no evidence of that at all.

205
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: They ain't keep keying together nothing. He teased her about

206
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: being a third wheel, and that's all it is. You

207
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: don't say they'd be making eye contact. They at googly

208
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: and none of that. Why does she call him and

209
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: not the wife because the husband he quicker, he bettered

210
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: his handy, you know, No, No, she should have called

00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: the wife. As you sip your coffee, well, you know,

00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,959
