Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are our last break of
the day. We had a caller earlier who had something
to say to you. Let's play that. Let me here,
shall we see?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hard dis missed his explicity for you.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I just heard part of your broadcast about you opening
the website.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Seeing don't say that. You know you're like a role model,
but you speak any bodies use were like them? Ain't
And earlier in the broadcast you were talking.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
About murals, scruples, values, and reference to two sisters screwing
the same guy.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Where are your morals and values for being an.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Impactful, positive role model for younger kids? You encouraged mentally
talented or underserved black kids to use broken English.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You should be ashamed of yourself. Do better, man.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I got this.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Call and it's funny to me. How people are you
gotta do? Better? Man? First of all, I was talk
by my father. If you are going to say something,
then be a man about it. Number one rule of
manhood my father taught me was do what you say
you gonna do. These are my closing remarks today, So

(01:14):
in honor of the call, First of all, brother, I
accept your critique, but it would admit more to me
had you said your name, because see what amazes me
about people is when you come for famous people, you
use it because you finally get to say something to
the famous person. But you wanna do yours in anonymity.

(01:37):
You wanna live yours in obscurity. You wanna stay behind
the scenes, you wanna throw the rock from behind the bushes.
Say your name. Now you're telling me that I, as
a person, are to be shamed of myself and do
better because I'm supposed to be a role model for people,

(01:58):
but I use words like them and ain't. And then
you're talking about these two women that was sleeping with
the same man. Where are your mails and your scruples?
You got to be more impactful for young people? Do
I really well? I've had a minoring camp for fifteen years.

(02:18):
We more mooment more than that. What am I talking about?
I've had my minoring camp seventeen over twenty some years.
I have impacted thousands of young boys and young girls' lives.
I put my money where my mouth is. I spend

(02:39):
more money on my minoring camp than I do on
just about anything. People don't know that because I get
very little corporate support I get very few donations. I
want to think of people like Lows and Coca Cola
that has helped me over the years. Choice Hotels has
helped me over the years. You know, people like that

(03:02):
Lexus who has supported my menory in camp through the
golf tournament. Stuff like that. A lot of people have,
but it's not to the tune where it completes the deal.
I gotta put a lot of money up for that.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I understand what you're saying, brother, but I'm not here
to impact how you talk. I'm how to impact. I'm
here to impact how you live. I don't care how
you talk. Talking is not a measure of success to me.
To be well spoken. I guess that's a cool thing.
I ain't saying you shouldn't be well spoken, but I'm

(03:35):
telling you right now, and you can see by my
work on television, radio or wherever you listen to me
at it ain't a criteria for success. But if you
want to make it that, that's fine. If I was
an English teacher, I guess I wouldn't be able to
do it. If I was a professor, if I was
standing up in front of people speaking in a classroom setting,
I guess I wouldn't be able to make it. I

(03:56):
speak well enough to get the point across. But at
the same time, doog you do know I'm a comedian.
That ever crossed your mind? And I'll say that again,
that ever crossed your mind? D A T that that
ever crossed your mind? And to be honest with you, brouh,

(04:19):
I don't really care. I don't try that hard to
speak proper. It ain't really that important to me. The
importance to me is the message. And when it's time
for me to deliver the message, I'll stand on that. Oh,
I'll stand on that, Nat. And that is a bug

(04:39):
and it's not even spelled that way. It really starts
with the K. But I'll stand on that because NAT,
right there, that is a little pesky ass insanct, just
like your phone call.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Was what caller?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
A NAT? What starts with the letter G not K? No, no, no, gnat.
That's what I was talking about. You don't pronounce the
G G N A T. Who knew that? Why would

(05:13):
I pronounce a letter that you is silent? See right there,
that's the logic I've been living on the whole time. Caller,
that's the logic I've been living on Why would I
care to spell a word that got a letter in it?
That's silent? Phone ain't really supposed to be with no

(05:35):
p p H. It's supposed to be with the el
Really doog. You don't let white folk fool you all
these years. You've been listening to them tell you all
the wrong information. That's why you are where you are
and why I am where how I'm is. That's why

(06:00):
broke the rules. I don't decided I wasn't fitting to
be normal, fitting there normal. I was gonna be different.
They don't pay nobody to be normal. You are paid
to be different. Steve Harvey Morning Show, Stannon, Oh bidness
