Ask The CLO - 05.21.25

Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey has advice for...

• Avery in Longview – I’m having second thoughts about taking my girlfriend to my family reunion. She was raised to speak her mind and that her opinion matters. My parents, aunts and uncles don’t play that. How do I uninvite her and tell her it’s for her own good?

 

• Nia in Southfield – My husband has developed a stench lately. He showers before bedtime and by early morning when we’re having sex, the sweaty smell is back. It’s strong, and he acts like he can’t smell it. Should I withhold sex until he stops stinking up the place?

 

• Cheyenne in Santa Monica – I was sitting in the parking lot at the mall and I watched a couple get in the backseat of a car and have sex. I Facetimed my husband while I watched them have sex. He said that we should try it. We’re both 53. Are we too old to do it?

 

• Jess in The Bronx – My boyfriend had a bag of gummies by his bed. I ate 2 and didn’t know they were edibles. My boyfriend was not concerned that I mistakenly took drugs, he was only mad that I ate them without asking him. Is this a sign that he’s not for me?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is from Avery and Longview. Avery writes, I'm having
second thoughts about taking my girlfriend to my family reunion.
She was raised to speak her mind and that her
opinion matters. My parents, aunts and uncles don't play that.
How do I uninvite her and tell her it's for
her own good?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
No, no, no, See, sometimes you got to take people.
Sometimes you just got to take people. Sometimes it's better
to show them than to tell them that how you
was raised to speak your own mind and your opinion
matters and all that beautiful. But listen, in the words
of my father in law, just because you can do

(00:40):
something don't mean you should do something. And you got
to learn that lesson. And I think now it's a
good time for her to learn that. Take her to
your family reunion, because all black people got a way
of making you feel real stink right.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Quick arguing with them with his family at three and
you're just arguing, please take her and write us back.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, all right. Coming up next, it is Nia in Southfield,
and Nea writes, my husband has developed a stench lately.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
He showers before.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Bedtime and by early morning when we're having sex, the
sweaty smell is back. Is strong, and he acts like
he can't smell it should I would hold sex until
he stops stinking up the place.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Wow, well you gotta find out what the cause is.
You and your wife's a wives know he has developed
a stitch. Now that's different from stink.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Also, it's the three smell.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's the three essays. You have a smell, you have
a stink, and you have a skitch. He is he
he is. Skin is like a third degree burn. You
know you can put your hand over soa water hot,
then you put over there.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh you burn me?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh now, third degree burn? Ain't no o? Third degree burn?
And you gotta go somewhere emergency third degree burned. You
gotta go. You gotta go somewhere. You got to go
find out what has caused a stitch.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
But he's showering.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
That's not it, huh he but we lay down. It's
something he eating. Now, ah, it's got something he eats.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
What what could cause a stench?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, I in my life, I know several foods that
can cause a stitch.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Okay, what chittlings.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's the number one predator stitch called.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
What five?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
You can do that because they got him already clean.
You can freeze or so it's people out there still
doing that. Here's another food that can cause a stitch,
and people are very unaware thatess spam.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Spam can cause a stitch.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
If you eat enough of it late at night wrong time,
you can wake up in the morning and smell like
you ate something that died.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Those are the two that come to mind right away,
all right.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Another that causes a stitch if you are Muslim. If
you're Muslim and you want somewhere and accidentally ate some pork,
they not gonna do well on that.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
I'm just gonna tell you that right now. They're not
gonna do well on that.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I avoid that at all costs, you know, And because
I have so many Muslim friends now, it's actually made
me rethink the whole thing with pork. So I've erased
that from my diet, except for barbecue, because barbecue, once
you put ribs on an open flame over charcoal, it
removes all pork properties.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I'm moving on to Cheyenne in Santa Monica. Cheyenne writes,
I was sitting in the parking lot at the mall,
and I watched a couple get in the backseat of
a car and have sex. I FaceTime my husband while
I watched them have sex, he said that we should
try it. We're both fifty three.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Are we too old to do it?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
No?

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Get old back there. But now let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
You probably didn't feel, You didn't probably didn't film getting
back out that back seat. Now you should have completed
the process. And then you need to take into consideration
how old out. Now y'all can go back there, you
can get in the back say you could do it,
But I'm telling you right now, somebody, I'm just gonna
tell you, somebody gonna get hurt.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
I can't Tykid's gonna be an injury, a cramp, some
sort of injury.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
All right, So you are you're saying they are too
old to do it, Then now.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
You ain't too old to do it. You just gotta
understand it's gonna come with a cost.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Listen, y'all.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Look, you can do anything at any age, but there's
a cost factor that has to be factored in. You
cannot assume that you could just do anything you want
to do because you used to do it. Yeah, me
and my wife was in the backyard last year shooting baskets.
It had rained, so the net shrunk a little bit,

(05:31):
so she shot the ball and it went through the net,
but it didn't come down. She said, Steve, get the
ball the first attempt, because I hadn't done that in
a long time. I didn't even get to the net.
And then she said, oh you can't get it down,
we'll get one of the work somebody anything my egos involved.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Oh of course.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
So I go back gathering myself, went over there and
jumped and hit the ball, knocked it out the net.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
She said, wow, you can still get up there now.
When I came down, you see that old black man
on old man, I told him down that was me.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
When I came down, that was me. And I was
in the house after one basket and I paid. They've
been back out there since.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
He don't even go out there. I went, don't get
my golf clubs, go do what I could do.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
A great story, Steve, all right, Moving on toes in
the Bronx is the last one. Steve Jess writes, my
boyfriend had a bag of gummies by his bed. I
ate two and didn't know they were edibles. My boyfriend
was not concerned that I mistakenly took drugs. He was

(06:46):
only mad that I ate them without asking him? Is
this a sign that he's not for me? Is this
a sign?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
But see, had you asked him first, he would have
had the ability to.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Tell you, hey, there, ma ain't just gummies.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Now, So now he's right for being mad at you,
because this could have gone sideways. I think you're taking
it wrong in that he mad at me for not asking.
But I think you gotta look how men think. Damn baby,
why don't you ask me first? It could have saved
you the problem had you asked him so quick, thinking

(07:21):
that is he not right for me? Because he left
the gummy? Why are you eating stuff you don't know
where it comes from?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
That?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Ain't no snack food at night? Gummies?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
You let me ask you? Ques you ever had a
gummy at night before you went to bed?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Now? Hello, you're listening Harvey Morning Show.
