Speaker 1 (00:28):
Nephew's subject he is too loud for my apartment. Dear
Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty two year old single woman
and I'm messing around with a married man that is
forty seven years old. He has an older wife that
is married to him only for social status.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
He said.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They sleep in separate rooms and she hasn't had sex
with him in a few years.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I can see why she doesn't want to have sex
with him.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Don't get me wrong, he's great in bed and knows
how to please, but he's so darn loud. Even this
pre game is loud and sloppy, and it cannot be
done when anyone else is in the house.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I bet.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Since he and his wife have teenagers, she stopped having
sex with him so their children wouldn't have to hear
him moaning and groaning. It was shocking when he did
it the first few times, and I thought there was
there is no way I could be that good to him,
that it could be that good to him. He's so
dramatic with it, and if I do the slightest movement,
it sends him into a frenzy. I live in a
(01:28):
small apartment community. In my bedrooms face the courtyard. I
have gotten two anonymous noise complaints from management, and I
know it's not from a neighbor because I live at
the end of the hallway on the top floor. I'm
scared that people in the courtyard are neighbors below me
or across the hall can hear him. I have tried
turning up music and turning the TV on, but he
(01:51):
doesn't like noise when he's quote unquote concentrating, as he
calls it.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Going on a weekend trip with him was just as bad.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We had an early morning session and the housekeepers were
snickering as we left the room. I'm afraid to tell
him to tone it down because he really gets into
what he's doing. I just wipe his sweat and whisper
softly to him, hoping he'll take the hint. He's a
great guy, but he's too loud for my apartment. Is
(02:21):
all of that noise necessary? Or should I ask him
to tone it down?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
What are you doing? I mean, do you want.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
To bring attention to the fact that you're sleeping with
someone's husband?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Is that what this is? I mean?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know he's loud. You know he makes a lot
of noise when you guys are together. It's just a
matter of time before someone and the wrong someone. Here's
you guys, because other than him and all that hollering,
there's no other noise, no music, and no TV. You said, right,
so people can hear you? So you're not too scared
(02:58):
that you're doing the do with him him someone else's husband,
But you're afraid to tell him to keep quiet during sex,
or tone it down or just shut it down?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What it?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I mean? This is so crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
What you don't want is for his wife to hear
you if she's ever around. So your choices are to
stop seeing him or tell him to.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Stop being so loud.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And by the way, most married men tell their side
pieces exactly what your married men told you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
She hasn't had sex with him in a few years.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They live in separate rooms, or they sleep in separate wombs. Rooms, okay,
and wombs, they do all of that, okay, So please
don't believe his lies. And the other thing is, why
don't you just leave this woman's husband alone and then
you won't have to worry about the noise.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Steve, let's just get to this letter. I don't have
no time to play this morning. Sometimes I get tired
of trying to rationalize stuff and teach people. Listen here,
what's finna happen. He's finna get your ass put out? Now.
You done had two damn complaints from management office. He
(04:07):
finna get y'all put out because he loud. His pregame
is loud and slopping, but he just too damn loud.
You can't make the slightest movement because that throw him
into a frenzy. You think there's no way I can
be that good. Yes, you can now that right there
(04:28):
is where we need to stop. You can be that good. Yes,
any slightest movement, Yes, frenzy complete at utto frenzy.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That can happen. You ain't you every woman in here
that heard this right here?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Wait wait wait hold on too loud.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, no, that ain't allowed. But the way that's that's
what you don't want, you don't mind and this here
wait wait wait wait wait wait, hold up, hold on,
stop me, that's normal. HOLI man, look at him right now.
That that's true.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
That girl you go, whoa, you're gonna have God brought
the god Joe?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You better? What the hell out of oh? Lor oh?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Watch out now wait a minute, stop, hold up, see
that right there, you finnah get put out. You're not
fin to be living in your house no more. I'm sorry,
you can stop. You finna get put out. You ain't
finna live in this building no more. And I just
think that, uh, you know, it's this relationship right here now.
(05:53):
Surely did the moral thing to tell you leave this
woman's husband alone. I could go that, toue. But people
do stuff you already in it you haking trips. And
you are correct. They are not sleeping together now that
Shirley's right. That's the we're not sleeping together, were not
having sex. We in separate rooms. She's older than me.
It's an arrangement. We miss staying for the kids. She's
(06:16):
staying for the social reason. We've been married so long,
you know, we waiting on the kids to move out,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Blah blah, Oh, this is okay.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
When we come back, I'll just go over a couple
of things that I think might help you, Junior or toime.
You might want to join in some that might help
shut down the noise. I don't know that's so loud,
and that gonna be Sevic. Let's we'll have it all right.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at
twenty three minutes after the hours. Today's Strawberry letter. Subject
he is too loud for my apartment. We'll get back
into it right after this.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You're listening hard morning show.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter.
The subject is he is too loud for my apartment.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Thirty two year old woman is dating a forty seven
year old married man and he is just too damn loud.
She done got a couple of complaints from the office.
She's at the end of the hallway down there and
she don't know who it is, but she thinks people
in the courtyard and hearm because he is just extremely loud.
(07:24):
He is good in bead but and he wants to concentrate.
She's tried turning on TVs and music, but nothing helps.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Na.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's just a ride going on in the house.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Because once you cut the TV up and he's still loud,
hen'll never know what's on TV. Sometimes there's gunfire, sometimes
it's a car chase. And now and him in now
hollering and moaning and groaning. It's just too much going on.
It's a ride happening in your house. They're gonna mess
around and call the police because it just sounded like
you into like something's going on. So now you have
(07:56):
tried whispering to him, hoping that he will take the hint.
Babystoph stop, but he go your problem. Any slightest movement
you make throws him into a frenzy. Now that is true.
That is true. You know it is true that Lord
(08:20):
is true. So now he too loud? Now what can
we do to calm him down? I haven't thought of
a lot of stuff. I'm gonna ask Junior Tommy if
they can have something they can join in too. Now
you would think naturally about a pillow. You would think,
(08:40):
have him lay his face in the pillow. That's not
going to work because you already wipe and sweat.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
What you can't do is have him not breathing. You're
gonna kill his old lass pillot want up?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
No, Now, you could bring the only thing I could
see doing this. You could bring a switchblade or a
butcher knife to bed. What and why he is on you?
You put that knife up against his throat and you say,
(09:21):
now get me put out and see what happened.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's all I could think.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Could we possibly duct tape his mouth and just let
him breathe through his No, that's a good idea, you
see what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Duct tape to.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
The bed for you some thought in that junior, any idea?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Yeah, I was thinking, since she already in trouble, and
it has already been reported that she did it's too
loud down there in her room, go ahead and hide
a gap band.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
All nine members.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Put the whole full band in the room.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's what you need. He ain't no more gap band left,
but hey, hey, hey put all of them in there.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Just get a band in there.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Just somebody play it like it's a live concert.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
There.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Yeah, but see you can't do that because they already
know his complaints. I was thinking one monkey.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, that ain't gonna shut him down. But then if
you have, it won't be him.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, okay, I got that going on. You got that,
and then they won't be in your personal business.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It'll just be the monkey business.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Listen, what if both of them put those sleep avenue
of mask on?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Where that work? Can they both put their mask on?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
There's a lot happening.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Hell yeah, hell yeah, get that damn sleep avenue mask.
Gotta shut it down. That's a great idea. Now here's
another one. Uh, get your.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Get you a bag of cotton.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
That way he can still use his mouth and open
his shut it and pack it with cotton. God a
muffle that sound. And that way you can still breathe
through that cotton. It's gonna work good till that cotton
get wet. Now, now, once that I that cotton get wet,
you fin to kill yourself because you're gonna choke to death.
(11:36):
Yeah yeah, well that sloppy anyway, it's too Julian.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Do you know anybody with a new born set of quintuplets,
just five babies, just screaming in there that that wouldn't
be him, it'd be the baby.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah, that kind of killed the mood though, because you
got to pay attention to the baby.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I can't put the right work of with my right
amount of working here with these damn babies.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Maybe maybe they need to, like maybe start having sex
at the library, see and learn how to be quiet.
That might work. To learn how to be quiet, you
have to. You can do it at the library. I
have done it the library. You do that library, you're
doing so you're gonna be quiet.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
All have sex at gunpoint. That quiet, but a gun
point though.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
You be very quiet, but you're scared. That's how I know.
But you're quiet, but.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Not gonna be as good. But it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Qua surely has an ultimate solution. You need to lead
it married do.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Go on about your business.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
That's the price you pay it so you don't understand
you being punished. You don't see that, all right.
