Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is from EJ on Steve HARVEFM. EJ says,
I've never been I was never the cool kid. But
now that I've done well for myself financially, I've become
pretty popular. I don't mind treating my friends now and then,
but it's starting to feel like I'm only invited because
I pick up the check. I still want to be generous,
just not taken for granted. How do you know if

(00:23):
people like you for you or just for the perks
you bring?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, if they didn't like you before, why do they
like you all of a sudden? That's an easy one,
you know, if they didn't like you before, now all
of a sudden they like you. You do the man,
what's the change? You got money now.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
He said, that's all.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It ain't hard to figure out. You really got to
figure it out yourself. Yeah, Now what you need is
a new set of friends. That's all. Everybody come with
you can't go with you, and you keep going down
there picking up the checking all that. You don't have
to do that, but you're doing that because it makes

(01:05):
you feel good to a degree too. But now they
taken advantage of it, and that's where you gotta be careful, okay,
all right? So yeah, that is because you got money.
Now you do the math.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay, all right, great advice. We have time for another one.
This is from Devon Dewan on Steve HARVFM. Dewan says,
what should have been a great road trip over the
weekend with my girlfriend and her son has turned out
to be just that a trip. I can't seem to
get on the right side of things. I rented a
room in a car and took three of us to

(01:40):
an airbnb about six hours away. I thought it was cool,
but unbeknownst to me, there was some animosity because I
wouldn't let her son drive the car. It wasn't personal.
I was the only one signed on to the rental car,
and he's still under twenty five, so he wouldn't have
been allowed to drive it. I'm sure he's more than capable,

(02:01):
but I didn't want the liability in case something did
happen while he was behind the wheel. My girlfriend now
thinks that I have quote something against her son, and
neither of them are talking to me. Is there anything
other than time I can get I can do to
get past this.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now, all you gotta do is tell him what you
just told us? Yeah, now what stupid person don't understand that?
And that's really real? About that under twenty five with
the middle car? Really real, that's really real. And if
a person don't understand.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
That, he's twenty something on a trip with his mom
and what would take him? Yeah, you can't go Toppy?
What is he going with them for that? I don't
get that at all? Yeah, and he wants to drive

(02:58):
the car. He sounds like a brat. Yeah, and they
don't understand that liability and all that stuff. Yeah, nobody
paying for this car like that? Right? What would you
have done? Steve?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But I'm not you ain't drive?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well? What is this guy is roiling? Bad? He's feelings.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You ain't driving, you ain't about to a car, you
ain't about, You ain't rid the car, you ain't got
an AIRB and B sending the car. You're twenty years old?
Why we can Why are we taking him anyway?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's what my question, that's my question. Why his feelings? Yeah,
he's trying. This guy is trying to do something nice
for his girl and her son. And then you know
she's saying, now he had something against her son. So
I mean they're in an airbnb, you know, and now

(03:53):
they're mad at him, they're mad at the guy who
rented the car and everything.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Ain't neither one of them talking to him. That's but lady,
listen to me. You're doing this because you're coming there
in defense of your son. You don't see the joy
in a man being a provider. You don't see the
upside of the man being a protector and just doing
handling at all himself. You don't see that because no,

(04:20):
you want to cozy up to this little punk oi
you got. Yeah, that's your car.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Shout you shut doll. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
Morning Show.
