Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, Steve, the time has come, so let's just get
to it. We're going to address what's been trending.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, here's the deal. We decided to just address it
since it's out there. You know, it's one thing when
we're dealing with gossip, rumor and hearsay, that's one thing.
You know, I've dealt with this for years. But when
it's not gossip and it comes from you know, a
(00:33):
reliable source, you I mean, then it turns into something different.
And so, you know, we all of this trending stuff
and all this here, and so after some deliberation, we
got together. Now here's the deal about this Strawberry letter.
I have no idea what Sheirley is going to say.
(00:55):
I told Shirley that it was up to her how
she wanted to address it. You know, I did go
along with this as an idea. I'm not I'm not
saying I didn't do that, because we talked about it
as a radio family and decided this may be the
best way, you know, because it's not it's no longer rumor.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's no, it's not gossip or anything.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know, this is this is something that's really touching
us all right now, and so yeah, this is not
this is a strawberry letter. And like you know, I was,
you know, being sarcastic when I did the Tea's last week.
The Strawberry letter is. I didn't know the subject was.
I didn't know I was gonna be my own letter,
(01:40):
you know, which is true Now Oftentimes I joke about
it because some of these letters sound like I was
in it, but this one is. And so today, uh,
the way I want it, I'm gonna do it, Charlier,
I'm gonna just let you talk.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I think it to me.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I think it's up to you to be a honest
or revealing as you choose to be. You know, we
can talk about as much of it as you like.
But I think it's an opportunity for you to say
what you want to say and share your feelings on it,
and then we'll have an exchange about it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Steve, I'm going to just start by saying that my
estranged husband is in jail. He's been in jail for
over a year since about the right after the fourth
of July of twenty twenty two, and recently, some phone
calls from last year between he and I were leaked,
(02:42):
and on those calls you hear me saying you were
winded going up the stairs at your home, and Marjorie
looks at us as the help and right here and now,
I want to apologize to you and Marjorie for what
I said. As much as I wish I could, I
(03:03):
can't take it back.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I can't. I said it, and you know I want
to apologize. It was definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Not me trying to add to what you and Marjorie
already have going on in your lives right now.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
But the fact that these tapes were released, it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Does seem like everyone is coming to you, a coming
for you, I should say, at this time, including me.
But in reality, the tapes have nothing to do with
what you and Marjorie have going on. It was just
me running my mouth in a private conversation or what
I thought was a private conversation. And again I apologize.
(03:41):
I feel terrible. I make no excuses. You know, I
said what I said, and there's no denying it, there's
no taking it back. Back then, when the phone calls happened,
I was trying to stand by my man, be supportive wife.
You know, I've been married to this man for eight years.
(04:03):
I had no idea that all this was going on
with him. I had no idea. And the charges that
he's facing are horrific. There are really bad, and I
for sure did not want your name mentioned in any
kind of way associated with my mess. So I had
to call you. I had to tell you. It was
(04:23):
a horror call. Horror call for me to make, but
I called you, and I want to clear something up, Steve.
You did not introduce me to him. I met him
through a friend I should say an ex friend now anyway,
So so back to what I was saying, I had
to tell you he was in jail, it was gonna
(04:44):
come out. I didn't want you to hear it from
anyone else. I wanted you to hear it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
From me, because I knew.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Once the police and everyone you know got involved, and
they were already involved, and they found out who his
wife was and who she worked with and all of that,
you know, and that's you, Steve Harvey. It would become,
you know, a real big story because it's you, your name.
And like I told you, Steve, when I called you,
(05:11):
I didn't want to call you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I mean, I was embarrassed. I was hurt, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I felt so stupid, and you know, I felt betrayed, humiliated.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You know, it was just terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean, I kept saying to myself, how is this
my life? You know, police and jail and all of this.
It was just something that I didn't you know, I'd
never experienced anything like this. The police came, they took
my car. I was at the salon getting my hair done.
They rolled up, took my car. I had to have
(05:47):
my stylist take me home. I had to move in
with friends. I lost my house, I lost everything. Oh
and I have to tell you this too, Like on
the day July fourth, we were having dinner with friends
and we were going to watch the fireworks after that,
(06:09):
And so the fireworks didn't happen that night because it
was like a terrible, terrible storm. So the fireworks got canceled.
And when I look back, I see now that that
was kind of a metaphor for what was about to
happen in my life. The thunderstorms were coming, they were coming.
The next day was the last time I saw him.
(06:31):
He was arrested the very very next day. You know,
I didn't even know he was arrested. I couldn't get
in touch with him later that day. Well, I'll tell
you the rest later, how I got the phone call
from jail and all of that. But we'll be back
at twenty three minutes after the hour with this live
Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You're listening Morning show.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Hey, we're backed everybody in our Strawberry Letter this morning.
As you can see, is very very real letter. I'm
not going to interrupt it at this point. Surely was
going over some of the key points about how she
discovered the actions of her husband, the date that she
discovered it. She's apologized for the things that was said
(07:16):
about myself and Marjorie in the letter. I'm not responding
right now. I'm allowing her to tell her story. I
think it's important that a person tells their side of
it because, like I said earlier, this is not this
is no longer hearsay. This is not gossip or rumor.
This is real life. So surely you can continue, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I was telling you how I found out that
he was in jail. I got a call from the jail,
and you know, I didn't answer it because I'm like,
who would be calling me from jail? I looked at
my phone, like jail where'd this call? You know, it
just didn't compute, so I just ignored it. But he
got word to me through one of his friends. They
(08:01):
texted me that he was at Fulton County Jail. So
the next time he called, I picked up and that
was him that I called earlier from jail, and you know,
he told me what happened. I thought he would be
getting out in a couple of days, because that's what
he told me.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But of course, you know, here we are a year later.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Those days turned into weeks, the weeks turned into months,
and like I said, I don't this, this is just
on and on every day. It's just something and my
life has just been a nightmare ever since, and it's
still going on.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Steve.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I mean, I had no idea that those tapes would
be released to the world.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You know, I knew that they were being recorded, but
I didn't know that they were going to go out
to the world. I mean, I was just trying to
make conversation with him, trying to, you know, just get
him to think about something other than where he was.
You know, I was telling him about my day this
particular day, and that was the day we were talking about,
(09:00):
you know, on the phone when I said those things
about you and the things that you heard and the
world heard and cut you.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Today.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I haven't spoken to him in quite some time. Divorce
proceedings are underway, and Steve, at this point, all I
could say is what I have is my faith. If
it wasn't for God, I probably would have, you know,
lost my mind or something in this instance. You know,
people don't see what happens when these mics go off.
(09:33):
You know, who wants their personal stuff, their private conversations
to go out to public.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No one.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
No one wants that. I mean, what could I say
to you after this, you know happened. I was devastated,
I mean absolutely devastated. I mean I thought of everything.
You know, I could lose my job, you know, how
could I face you everything? You know, what I'm going
through is what I'm going through, you know, and I've
been going through it for over a year, having spoken
(10:01):
about it.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Then on top of all that, these tapes come out,
and you know I'm talking about you and Marjorie, and
you guys are going through your own private hell right now.
You know, you didn't need me to contribute to anything,
you know, And I thought back you know, because I
knew I had to say something. Speak on You created
(10:23):
this created this term years ago in Los Angeles called
reality radio, and I'm going to tell you right now
this is about as real.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
As it gets, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And the reason I'm here before you now, I wanted
to say it live on the radio is because your
name is in it. You know, We've been friends for
a long time, Steve, and these jail calls were made public,
and I wanted to give you and Marjorie a public
apology and to ask for your forgiveness publicly. I just
(10:56):
wanted to have a real moment with you. And you know,
I have to tell you I've been coming to work
every day because you know, it's my only safe haven
right now. It gave me a place where I could
still be myself and forget my troubles for a little while,
you know, and just you know, do my jobs.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You know, I want to thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I want to thank you, of course Steve, Tommy Junior,
and of course my girl Carla, you know, for the
space and the grace that you guys have shown me.
You know, this is a very difficult time in my life.
Is if you can imagine you know. I just I
love you guys. We're family, and I thank you, and
I just want to thank everyone. I'm just trying to live.
(11:40):
I'm sorry for what you and your wife are going
through right now in your life. And I hate your
names were dragged into my drama because you certainly don't
deserve it.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's it. Well, Shirley, let me say this.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
First of all, what's happening to me and Marjorie. I'm
going to address that, but let me say this, though
the devil is busy. The devil is busy, and the
devil don't come for those he got, He sends those
(12:15):
that he has. So now with all that's going on
around us right now, what I do understand though, see
this jail house conversation you had was last year in
October twenty twenty two. But the devil know how to
pile on at the right time. So this take that
was made in October twenty twenty two gets released right
(12:40):
right on the heels of all it is to just
pile on some more. And I guess you say you
know it was recorded because you know when you everybody
get that phone call who ain't had that phone call
for county, we please know what your set a phone call.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
This phone call is being recorded. We come back, will
dress some more of it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
This Strawberry Letter looked like it's about to be the
nine o'clock hour, So we'll be back with more of
the Steve Hard Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
You're listening Morning show?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, y'all, we're back, and the Strawberry Letter has
been extended because I think there's a lot that need
to be said. Just to give you a brief recap,
we open up the floor for Shirley to tell her
story whatever she wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
We didn't rehearse this, we didn't plan this.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Shirley came out and apologized for the things that was
said about myself and my wife. But I also realized,
and I know the timing of all this is important
because this conversation she had with her estranged husband was
in October of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The tapes got released right now.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So and then when you can throw my name on anything,
because you look at all these stories my name headlines
and stuff, and so surely when it came out, she
called right away, apologized and everything. Nah, and and so
I understand that, and Suley didn't want her mess to
become our mess.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let me say this to you, Shirley.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
We have known about this right after it happened, but
we can't get in nobody's marriage and just go girl,
what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
What you what you're thinking?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What you They didn't want to say nothing because we
didn't want to talk about it, and we wanted to
create for you a space where you could come to
work and have some moments, because I know what it's
like and you did to get beaten and eaten alive,
and so it became for us. Let's just be there
(14:42):
for her, and when you want to tell us, you
would tell us when you're ready. Now, good thing you
had Monica, Mississippi Monica, who has been with you this
whole ride.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You did confide in her, so Monica.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Would keep us posted, but until you wanted to invite us,
and we were just left over here as a support system.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but
can I just say this. I look at you guys
as my family. You know, we all are family. You
know a lot of times there was a time when
we saw each other more than we saw our actual families,
and you know, it was just so hard for me
to I'm a private person, you know, but we all
(15:28):
have our stuff. We talk afterwards, we're friends, we're all that.
It was just hard for me to bring this particular
thing up. I was just so embarrassed, you know, and humiliated,
and I just felt like a fool. I felt so stupid,
and you know, I couldn't. It's not that I didn't
(15:48):
want to talk about it. I just couldn't find the words.
And that's the honest, to God's truth. I just couldn't
come to you, guys. You know, if you had come
to me, I would have opened up. But you know,
I understand, but I just I couldn't. It was too much.
It was just too much for me at that time.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You know, surely we get it. Hang on, this Strawberry
letter has been extended. This is important, y'all. We'll be
back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right
after this.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We're back on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We've been
addressing it all. I don't want to spend too much
time on the recap because we got so many things
to go over. But if you've been listening, you've been listening.
If you have it, then you just got to get
bought up to speed. We're on our heart app. You
can play it all day long. You can get this
whole interview. Surely open up with the apology to me
(16:44):
and my wife, and I wanted to make you all
aware of the timing of it. You know, my wife
and me, we've been getting beat up for the past
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But when.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
When something like this happens, you know, we our model
has always been to never address bloggers, and we don't.
We don't give it no room or steem know nothing,
because we know who we are and we know whose
we are, and so we don't.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We don't address bloggers.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
When this came out, it's a little bit different because
it's not gossip.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Rumor or or malicious lie.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It came from the inside circle, because we are inside circle.
We are family. And so when it came out, you know,
Marjorie is on baby watch right now. We got another
grandchild coming and the babies do any minute, So Marjorie's
over there on babywatch.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
He just doing grandmama duties.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And Marjorie don't really get into all this right here,
and so I didn't really. You know, look, I'm so
used to getting beat up, but I didn't know how
Marjorie was feeling about everything that's out there, because these
(18:03):
these bottom feeders are just beating my wife up. And
even though we've made a conscious effort and we said
we're not gonna dress it, I'm I'm tired of it.
And so when this came out, this is how the
devil works.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm gonna pile it on.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm gonna go get somebody that worked for me, because
one more time, God don't come. The Devil don't come
for those he got. He sends the ones he has.
So now I'm gonna get me a government employee that
needs some money, that work in food and County. I'm
(18:41):
gonna get a hold of him. I'm gonna release these tapes.
I'm gonna get him to need a little bit of money.
I'm gonna give it to this female blogger and she
gonna get a little bit of money.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
And now I'm aa soak them.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But the timing of it was ugly because of everything
else that's going on right now, and and and it
made it look like.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Shirley was piling on and that wasn't her intent. But
it happened.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Like I say, I understand what I'm The part I'm
coming with now is because it then got it's been
so ugly for my wife. Man, And see, this is
what I've never done before. It's been so ugly for
my wife. And I've stood there trying not to say nothing.
But I'm not a blog. We me Shirley Carler, Tommy
(19:31):
Mississippi Junior. We ain't a blog. We're a real media platform.
And I don't know if you all know what it's
like to wake up every morning that we get up.
And our job and mission is to brighten your date.
And it don't matter how dark our date is. We
got the job to be the morning show, and we
(19:51):
got to put on the show. And Tommy come in
here with Junior, come in here off of crisis with
sickle sell Tommy come in in here with bad news.
Timmy get hit with cancer, surely going through her life
right here. Carla got a whole family over here. Everybody
got crosses to bath. But we got to come in
(20:11):
here anyway, and we got to be the morning show
in spite of what's happening in our life when it
ain't funny or fun or inspirational or motivational or informative
at all. We just in here trying to make it
so I get it. So what I'm about to do
now is clear up a few things and and and
(20:34):
you know the comment that came out, it was untimely,
you know, but that's why we don't have people in
our house. That's why we don't. That's that's that's why
a whole lot of stuff we don't do. But when
I come back, we'll be back and my fat we'z
and ass are straightened all this out.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I said, I was sorry, but I'm just going to.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
My fat we'z and ass going to the steps back.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'm not saying where you were?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You sorry? All you want? Hell, that's what I heard.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You're listening shows.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We're back and this morning we've been dealing with everything.
So I hope you've been up because I'm not going
to recap because it takes too much time. My wife
and I talked about this, and I prayed about this,
and Marjorie told me, Steve, drop it, let it go.
(21:33):
But I see my wife's face and I see the
pain she been in, and she ain't just been in
this pain for two weeks.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
She been in this pain for seventeen years with me.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And so now what I want to do right now,
I want to tell you something about my wife because
we're sitting up in here and we're dealing with stuff,
and that y'all just printing lies and rumors and the
deviciousness of it is what I'm fit to talk about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Normally we don't care about your blogs and all this here,
but I'm really tired of y'all, man.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
And you know the sad thing behind all of this.
The majority of these.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Blogs they black people, the very people that we try
to uphold and uplift the most. What all of our
foundation is about about saving and changing the lives of
young black people. And then it's the black bloggers that's
the nastiest when it comes to all of us. And
(22:38):
that's that's the part I want to I want to
get at. And then I'm gonna let it go because
after today ain't no more. After today, there will be
no more. So when we come back, we'll be more.
To Steve Harvey Morning Show, I'm so sick of this
strawberry letter.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Well you're listening show, all right?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
We're back. There's a deal. I'm gonna do a list
of facts.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
My wife asked me not to do it because she said, Steve,
all them hater's gonna do is flip anything you say
in reverse.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well you're doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And y'all there just lying about my girl and you
tearing away at her character.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And I don't like what you're doing to her.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't like the timing of this jail house release
because it just seemed like it added more and it
came from the inside. I'm tired, but she got to
be tired. The woman I married is a good woman.
She the best thing ever happened to me. She's God feared,
she's loyal, she's faithful, and she's a kind and loving person.
I don't care what nobody said. And y'all quit talking
(23:38):
about she was in my other marriage and ruined it.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
She was nowhere around that my marriage. I got divorced
in two thousand and five. My marriage was over when
The Kings of Comedy was out. Y'all ain't know that,
though digit it was over then it took us this
long to get to the divorce. That's when the official
paperwork came out. But in two thousand and five, let
me hip you to something. I had nothing.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I lost the.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Radio show we were on in LA on March twenty third,
and I lost the only TV show I had May tenth.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Steve Harvey had no money.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Got with Marjorie again on New Year's Eve, met her,
talked to her. She was with her kids in Hawaii.
We got together in two thousand and six. We had nothing.
She didn't marry into no lad lap of riches. I
had nothing when I asked her to marry me at
the end of two thousand and six, and then she
(24:31):
said she wanted to get married in two thousand and seven.
I sold her too soon. I got to get some
stuff together. She said what I said, Baber, I ain't
really got nothing. I'm trying to build. She said, I'm
gonna get in there and bill with you. We got
married in two thousand and seven. Do you know what
I was doing in two thousand and seven nothing. We
had four stations. In two thousand and five four we
built this. All of us built this. We had four stations.
(24:55):
We turned this into something. But that woman got down
there at fox Hole with me and turned this in
This in two thousand and seven, we got married. In
two thousand and eight, we found out that somebody had
stolen seven years of my tax returns.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I ain't gonna mention no name.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And we owed the government twenty two million dollars a
week in debt. But then guess what. She stayed with
me in that. Then guess what. In two thousand and nine,
I got family FEUs. In two thousand and nine, the
book came out. In twenty twelve, the talk.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Show came out.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I'm telling you, this woman got in the hole and
built this with me. She didn't steal nothing. And I'm
tired of y'all talking about my girl, because my girl
is one of the best women I've ever met. And
why you black ass people out there got these blogs
like you just gonna destroy somebody. I don't really know
what that's about, But don't worry about it because it
ain't working. Because all we are now we are a tighter,
(25:50):
two handed circle. Thank you for doing that, and you're
not gonna split us up, and we're not going nowhere.
And she is none of what you said she is,
and she the best check our notes. Now I'm defending her,
and you can feel how you want to feel about that.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
That's the God in me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But now just let me give you one piece of
Steve Hawt I see your ass.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning
Show right after this.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
All right, we're back. This is the end of the show.
It's been a it's been a morning.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I'm proud of you, sure, I really am.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
It takes a lot of strength and a lot of
courage to do what you did, to be transparent like this. Sly,
you tell your story. Don't let other people tell your
story in our journey in life. We all make mistakes, Surely,
we all make mistakes, and yeah we have to you
have to keep asking God to guide your steps.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Can I say this? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Man, were family and we got family members. There's not
a moment that I ain't got on Steve nerves. And
he said, and in a private conversation with somebody else,
you know what Tommy got on my damn nerd today.
It's not like we haven't said things that we just say.
You know what the junior got on my damn nerds.
I'm sick of Junior. I've said that to somebody. You
(27:18):
know what I'm saying this.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Morning before I came to work, A time to getting
on your nerves. You said it before you open the mic.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
All the damn pictures, he said in Lord, call.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Us right, Tommy's right.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Nobody wants their private thoughts, man, nobody. Do you know
what would happen if any of us had our private
thoughts in private conversation, and Lord, we wouldn't have no
damn we wouldn't have a morning show y'all, wouldn't be
a y'all show, wouldn't have a job out there. I
(27:54):
just think that everybody, we don't live in the world
that's forgiving anymore. We don't live in a kind world anymore.
We live in a falling world. But we do have
a lot of huge fans on this show, and we
do understand that there's a lot of people who love us.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The problem that I've said at a hundred times is
hate is louder than love.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
But love is stronger, and we all gonna have to
learn that lesson. And as much as I want to
get out there and change things, and as much as
I wish people would stand up and back me more.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
That ain't the world we live in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
We live in a social media climate and everybody's idea
is to tas somebody down to get clicks. And we're
just not gonna sit here and let you click this
sister's life away. And I'm not gonna sit here no
longer and let you destroy my wife's image and character.
It's hard and we need each other to support each other,
(28:56):
to show love.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Now. Look, man, do I expect this to change anything?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Probably not, But you know what, at least it feel
good to say your peace. Sometimes. Man, you just want
to be able to say your side. That's to tell
your damn story, your truth. Now, are they gonna twist it?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Are they gonna try to flip it and use it
against you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
But I got news for you, Isaiah fifty four seventeen
is real. It's the word of God. And I don't
care what you do. What God got for me, what
God got for you, what God got for Shirley, ain't
nothing you can do about it. What God got for Caring,
what God got for Junior, for timeing for Monica is
(29:48):
nothing you can do about it. No weapon formed to
givest me show prosper. You know what's really crazy, man?
Do you know really how YouTube and all this stuff works.
Do you know how many tens of thousands of cliques
you have to get to make three to five cent?
Do you know how many millions of views you got
to have to make thousands of dollars? But hear what
(30:08):
happened when y'all jump on that danger tam down trail
and you post your video.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
What y'all do to each other? Y'all cannibalize each other.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So if y'all would just leave that one video, everybody
would have to go there to see it, and that
person could profit. But no, y'all take it like y'all
did your music and you spread it on your site.
Now a person can go anywhere and get it. Now,
guess what now, ain't nobody getting a million views? So
don't nobody profit? No weapon formed to just me show possible.
(30:44):
And I just wish man, that we as a people
would get out the hate business, cause the hate business
don't pay. I don't know if y'all been watching real close,
but if you look at anybody out there that's been
in a hate business, that don't look real good right now.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know if you notice that.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Listen, y'all, there's a motivational speaker named George White, and
this dude he released something that has kept me and
I play. I play it to myself every day. I'm
gonna play this. This is George White, a motivational speaker.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
God chose you, so you're gonna have to fight more.
You're gonna have to do more. You're gonna have to
overcome more, but you gonna receive more. You're gonna receive more.
You who your blood I have been waiting for. And
God chose you because he know he can trust you.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
He knows he can trust you. He know you will
keep faith when things go bad.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
He knows you that you want to retaliate when people
do he evil gets you.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
He knows that you want to be conformed to this world.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
But you'll be praying form by the renew of your mind,
by the renew to your mind, because you jo.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That's the God I serve, that's the God we serve. Shirley,
You're our girl, you our family. All this forgiving. We
come into work. Tommy almost think really important.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Shirley.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yes, at least you don't have to cook no more.
You know that you know what I'm everything she said,
you know what I'm I mean, you ain't.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Look at the bright side, there's a a lot to
pots and pay us up.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Shut well.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I just want to say, you know, thank you guys
for letting me finally get that out holding it in
for quite some time. Thank you, guys. That's all I
can say. And Steve to you, thank you of course
for not firing me.
Speaker 2 (32:32):

Every contest no purchase necessary, voidware prohibited. Participants must be

For complete contest rules, visit Steve HARVEYFM dot com. You're
listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Well, Steve, the time has come, so let's just get
to it. We're going to address what's been trending.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, here's the deal. We decided to just address it
since it's out there. You know, it's one thing when
we're dealing with gossip, rumor and hearsay, that's one thing.
You know, I've dealt with this for years. But when
it's not gossip and it comes from you know, a
(00:33):
reliable source, you I mean, then it turns into something different.
And so, you know, we all of this trending stuff
and all this here, and so after some deliberation, we
got together. Now here's the deal about this Strawberry letter.
I have no idea what Sheirley is going to say.
(00:55):
I told Shirley that it was up to her how
she wanted to address it. You know, I did go
along with this as an idea. I'm not I'm not
saying I didn't do that, because we talked about it
as a radio family and decided this may be the
best way, you know, because it's not it's no longer rumor.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's no, it's not gossip or anything.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know, this is this is something that's really touching
us all right now, and so yeah, this is not
this is a strawberry letter. And like you know, I was,
you know, being sarcastic when I did the Tea's last week.
The Strawberry letter is. I didn't know the subject was.
I didn't know I was gonna be my own letter,
(01:40):
you know, which is true Now Oftentimes I joke about
it because some of these letters sound like I was
in it, but this one is. And so today, uh,
the way I want it, I'm gonna do it, Charlier,
I'm gonna just let you talk.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I think it to me.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I think it's up to you to be a honest
or revealing as you choose to be. You know, we
can talk about as much of it as you like.
But I think it's an opportunity for you to say
what you want to say and share your feelings on it,
and then we'll have an exchange about it.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Steve, I'm going to just start by saying that my
estranged husband is in jail. He's been in jail for
over a year since about the right after the fourth
of July of twenty twenty two, and recently, some phone
calls from last year between he and I were leaked,
(02:42):
and on those calls you hear me saying you were
winded going up the stairs at your home, and Marjorie
looks at us as the help and right here and now,
I want to apologize to you and Marjorie for what
I said. As much as I wish I could, I
(03:03):
can't take it back.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I can't. I said it, and you know I want
to apologize. It was definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Not me trying to add to what you and Marjorie
already have going on in your lives right now.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
But the fact that these tapes were released, it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Does seem like everyone is coming to you, a coming
for you, I should say, at this time, including me.
But in reality, the tapes have nothing to do with
what you and Marjorie have going on. It was just
me running my mouth in a private conversation or what
I thought was a private conversation. And again I apologize.
(03:41):
I feel terrible. I make no excuses. You know, I
said what I said, and there's no denying it, there's
no taking it back. Back then, when the phone calls happened,
I was trying to stand by my man, be supportive wife.
You know, I've been married to this man for eight years.
(04:03):
I had no idea that all this was going on
with him. I had no idea. And the charges that
he's facing are horrific. There are really bad, and I
for sure did not want your name mentioned in any
kind of way associated with my mess. So I had
to call you. I had to tell you. It was
(04:23):
a horror call. Horror call for me to make, but
I called you, and I want to clear something up, Steve.
You did not introduce me to him. I met him
through a friend I should say an ex friend now anyway,
So so back to what I was saying, I had
to tell you he was in jail, it was gonna
(04:44):
come out. I didn't want you to hear it from
anyone else. I wanted you to hear it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
From me, because I knew.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Once the police and everyone you know got involved, and
they were already involved, and they found out who his
wife was and who she worked with and all of that,
you know, and that's you, Steve Harvey. It would become,
you know, a real big story because it's you, your name.
And like I told you, Steve, when I called you,
(05:11):
I didn't want to call you.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I mean, I was embarrassed. I was hurt, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I felt so stupid, and you know, I felt betrayed, humiliated.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You know, it was just terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean, I kept saying to myself, how is this
my life? You know, police and jail and all of this.
It was just something that I didn't you know, I'd
never experienced anything like this. The police came, they took
my car. I was at the salon getting my hair done.
They rolled up, took my car. I had to have
(05:47):
my stylist take me home. I had to move in
with friends. I lost my house, I lost everything. Oh
and I have to tell you this too, Like on
the day July fourth, we were having dinner with friends
and we were going to watch the fireworks after that,
(06:09):
And so the fireworks didn't happen that night because it
was like a terrible, terrible storm. So the fireworks got canceled.
And when I look back, I see now that that
was kind of a metaphor for what was about to
happen in my life. The thunderstorms were coming, they were coming.
The next day was the last time I saw him.
(06:31):
He was arrested the very very next day. You know,
I didn't even know he was arrested. I couldn't get
in touch with him later that day. Well, I'll tell
you the rest later, how I got the phone call
from jail and all of that. But we'll be back
at twenty three minutes after the hour with this live
Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You're listening Morning show.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Hey, we're backed everybody in our Strawberry Letter this morning.
As you can see, is very very real letter. I'm
not going to interrupt it at this point. Surely was
going over some of the key points about how she
discovered the actions of her husband, the date that she
discovered it. She's apologized for the things that was said
(07:16):
about myself and Marjorie in the letter. I'm not responding
right now. I'm allowing her to tell her story. I
think it's important that a person tells their side of
it because, like I said earlier, this is not this
is no longer hearsay. This is not gossip or rumor.
This is real life. So surely you can continue, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I was telling you how I found out that
he was in jail. I got a call from the jail,
and you know, I didn't answer it because I'm like,
who would be calling me from jail? I looked at
my phone, like jail where'd this call? You know, it
just didn't compute, so I just ignored it. But he
got word to me through one of his friends. They
(08:01):
texted me that he was at Fulton County Jail. So
the next time he called, I picked up and that
was him that I called earlier from jail, and you know,
he told me what happened. I thought he would be
getting out in a couple of days, because that's what
he told me.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But of course, you know, here we are a year later.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Those days turned into weeks, the weeks turned into months,
and like I said, I don't this, this is just
on and on every day. It's just something and my
life has just been a nightmare ever since, and it's
still going on.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Steve.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
I mean, I had no idea that those tapes would
be released to the world.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You know, I knew that they were being recorded, but
I didn't know that they were going to go out
to the world. I mean, I was just trying to
make conversation with him, trying to, you know, just get
him to think about something other than where he was.
You know, I was telling him about my day this
particular day, and that was the day we were talking about,
(09:00):
you know, on the phone when I said those things
about you and the things that you heard and the
world heard and cut you.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Today.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I haven't spoken to him in quite some time. Divorce
proceedings are underway, and Steve, at this point, all I
could say is what I have is my faith. If
it wasn't for God, I probably would have, you know,
lost my mind or something in this instance. You know,
people don't see what happens when these mics go off.
(09:33):
You know, who wants their personal stuff, their private conversations
to go out to public.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
No one.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
No one wants that. I mean, what could I say
to you after this, you know happened. I was devastated,
I mean absolutely devastated. I mean I thought of everything.
You know, I could lose my job, you know, how
could I face you everything? You know, what I'm going
through is what I'm going through, you know, and I've
been going through it for over a year, having spoken
(10:01):
about it.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Then on top of all that, these tapes come out,
and you know I'm talking about you and Marjorie, and
you guys are going through your own private hell right now.
You know, you didn't need me to contribute to anything,
you know, And I thought back you know, because I
knew I had to say something. Speak on You created
(10:23):
this created this term years ago in Los Angeles called
reality radio, and I'm going to tell you right now
this is about as real.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
As it gets, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And the reason I'm here before you now, I wanted
to say it live on the radio is because your
name is in it. You know, We've been friends for
a long time, Steve, and these jail calls were made public,
and I wanted to give you and Marjorie a public
apology and to ask for your forgiveness publicly. I just
(10:56):
wanted to have a real moment with you. And you know,
I have to tell you I've been coming to work
every day because you know, it's my only safe haven
right now. It gave me a place where I could
still be myself and forget my troubles for a little while,
you know, and just you know, do my jobs.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You know, I want to thank you guys.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I want to thank you, of course Steve, Tommy Junior,
and of course my girl Carla, you know, for the
space and the grace that you guys have shown me.
You know, this is a very difficult time in my life.
Is if you can imagine you know. I just I
love you guys. We're family, and I thank you, and
I just want to thank everyone. I'm just trying to live.
(11:40):
I'm sorry for what you and your wife are going
through right now in your life. And I hate your
names were dragged into my drama because you certainly don't
deserve it.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's it. Well, Shirley, let me say this.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
First of all, what's happening to me and Marjorie. I'm
going to address that, but let me say this, though
the devil is busy. The devil is busy, and the
devil don't come for those he got, He sends those
(12:15):
that he has. So now with all that's going on
around us right now, what I do understand though, see
this jail house conversation you had was last year in
October twenty twenty two. But the devil know how to
pile on at the right time. So this take that
was made in October twenty twenty two gets released right
(12:40):
right on the heels of all it is to just
pile on some more. And I guess you say you
know it was recorded because you know when you everybody
get that phone call who ain't had that phone call
for county, we please know what your set a phone call.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
This phone call is being recorded. We come back, will
dress some more of it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
This Strawberry Letter looked like it's about to be the
nine o'clock hour, So we'll be back with more of
the Steve Hard Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
You're listening Morning show?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, y'all, we're back, and the Strawberry Letter has
been extended because I think there's a lot that need
to be said. Just to give you a brief recap,
we open up the floor for Shirley to tell her
story whatever she wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
We didn't rehearse this, we didn't plan this.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Shirley came out and apologized for the things that was
said about myself and my wife. But I also realized,
and I know the timing of all this is important
because this conversation she had with her estranged husband was
in October of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The tapes got released right now.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So and then when you can throw my name on anything,
because you look at all these stories my name headlines
and stuff, and so surely when it came out, she
called right away, apologized and everything. Nah, and and so
I understand that, and Suley didn't want her mess to
become our mess.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Let me say this to you, Shirley.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
We have known about this right after it happened, but
we can't get in nobody's marriage and just go girl,
what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
What you what you're thinking?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What you They didn't want to say nothing because we
didn't want to talk about it, and we wanted to
create for you a space where you could come to
work and have some moments, because I know what it's
like and you did to get beaten and eaten alive,
and so it became for us. Let's just be there
(14:42):
for her, and when you want to tell us, you
would tell us when you're ready. Now, good thing you
had Monica, Mississippi Monica, who has been with you this
whole ride.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You did confide in her, so Monica.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Would keep us posted, but until you wanted to invite us,
and we were just left over here as a support system.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but
can I just say this. I look at you guys
as my family. You know, we all are family. You
know a lot of times there was a time when
we saw each other more than we saw our actual families,
and you know, it was just so hard for me
to I'm a private person, you know, but we all
(15:28):
have our stuff. We talk afterwards, we're friends, we're all that.
It was just hard for me to bring this particular
thing up. I was just so embarrassed, you know, and humiliated,
and I just felt like a fool. I felt so stupid,
and you know, I couldn't. It's not that I didn't
(15:48):
want to talk about it. I just couldn't find the words.
And that's the honest, to God's truth. I just couldn't
come to you, guys. You know, if you had come
to me, I would have opened up. But you know,
I understand, but I just I couldn't. It was too much.
It was just too much for me at that time.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You know, surely we get it. Hang on, this Strawberry
letter has been extended. This is important, y'all. We'll be
back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right
after this.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We're back on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We've been
addressing it all. I don't want to spend too much
time on the recap because we got so many things
to go over. But if you've been listening, you've been listening.
If you have it, then you just got to get
bought up to speed. We're on our heart app. You
can play it all day long. You can get this
whole interview. Surely open up with the apology to me
(16:44):
and my wife, and I wanted to make you all
aware of the timing of it. You know, my wife
and me, we've been getting beat up for the past
two weeks.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But when.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
When something like this happens, you know, we our model
has always been to never address bloggers, and we don't.
We don't give it no room or steem know nothing,
because we know who we are and we know whose
we are, and so we don't.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
We don't address bloggers.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
When this came out, it's a little bit different because
it's not gossip.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Rumor or or malicious lie.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It came from the inside circle, because we are inside circle.
We are family. And so when it came out, you know,
Marjorie is on baby watch right now. We got another
grandchild coming and the babies do any minute, So Marjorie's
over there on babywatch.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
He just doing grandmama duties.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And Marjorie don't really get into all this right here,
and so I didn't really. You know, look, I'm so
used to getting beat up, but I didn't know how
Marjorie was feeling about everything that's out there, because these
(18:03):
these bottom feeders are just beating my wife up. And
even though we've made a conscious effort and we said
we're not gonna dress it, I'm I'm tired of it.
And so when this came out, this is how the
devil works.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm gonna pile it on.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm gonna go get somebody that worked for me, because
one more time, God don't come. The Devil don't come
for those he got. He sends the ones he has.
So now I'm gonna get me a government employee that
needs some money, that work in food and County. I'm
(18:41):
gonna get a hold of him. I'm gonna release these tapes.
I'm gonna get him to need a little bit of money.
I'm gonna give it to this female blogger and she
gonna get a little bit of money.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
And now I'm aa soak them.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But the timing of it was ugly because of everything
else that's going on right now, and and and it
made it look like.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Shirley was piling on and that wasn't her intent. But
it happened.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Like I say, I understand what I'm The part I'm
coming with now is because it then got it's been
so ugly for my wife. Man, And see, this is
what I've never done before. It's been so ugly for
my wife. And I've stood there trying not to say nothing.
But I'm not a blog. We me Shirley Carler, Tommy
(19:31):
Mississippi Junior. We ain't a blog. We're a real media platform.
And I don't know if you all know what it's
like to wake up every morning that we get up.
And our job and mission is to brighten your date.
And it don't matter how dark our date is. We
got the job to be the morning show, and we
(19:51):
got to put on the show. And Tommy come in
here with Junior, come in here off of crisis with
sickle sell Tommy come in in here with bad news.
Timmy get hit with cancer, surely going through her life
right here. Carla got a whole family over here. Everybody
got crosses to bath. But we got to come in
(20:11):
here anyway, and we got to be the morning show
in spite of what's happening in our life when it
ain't funny or fun or inspirational or motivational or informative
at all. We just in here trying to make it
so I get it. So what I'm about to do
now is clear up a few things and and and
(20:34):
you know the comment that came out, it was untimely,
you know, but that's why we don't have people in
our house. That's why we don't. That's that's that's why
a whole lot of stuff we don't do. But when
I come back, we'll be back and my fat we'z
and ass are straightened all this out.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I said, I was sorry, but I'm just going to.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
My fat we'z and ass going to the steps back.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'm not saying where you were?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You sorry? All you want? Hell, that's what I heard.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You're listening shows.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
All right, y'all.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We're back and this morning we've been dealing with everything.
So I hope you've been up because I'm not going
to recap because it takes too much time. My wife
and I talked about this, and I prayed about this,
and Marjorie told me, Steve, drop it, let it go.
(21:33):
But I see my wife's face and I see the
pain she been in, and she ain't just been in
this pain for two weeks.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
She been in this pain for seventeen years with me.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And so now what I want to do right now,
I want to tell you something about my wife because
we're sitting up in here and we're dealing with stuff,
and that y'all just printing lies and rumors and the
deviciousness of it is what I'm fit to talk about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Normally we don't care about your blogs and all this here,
but I'm really tired of y'all, man.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
And you know the sad thing behind all of this.
The majority of these.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Blogs they black people, the very people that we try
to uphold and uplift the most. What all of our
foundation is about about saving and changing the lives of
young black people. And then it's the black bloggers that's
the nastiest when it comes to all of us. And
(22:38):
that's that's the part I want to I want to
get at. And then I'm gonna let it go because
after today ain't no more. After today, there will be
no more. So when we come back, we'll be more.
To Steve Harvey Morning Show, I'm so sick of this
strawberry letter.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Well you're listening show, all right?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
We're back. There's a deal. I'm gonna do a list
of facts.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
My wife asked me not to do it because she said, Steve,
all them hater's gonna do is flip anything you say
in reverse.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Well you're doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And y'all there just lying about my girl and you
tearing away at her character.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And I don't like what you're doing to her.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't like the timing of this jail house release
because it just seemed like it added more and it
came from the inside. I'm tired, but she got to
be tired. The woman I married is a good woman.
She the best thing ever happened to me. She's God feared,
she's loyal, she's faithful, and she's a kind and loving person.
I don't care what nobody said. And y'all quit talking
(23:38):
about she was in my other marriage and ruined it.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
She didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
She was nowhere around that my marriage. I got divorced
in two thousand and five. My marriage was over when
The Kings of Comedy was out. Y'all ain't know that,
though digit it was over then it took us this
long to get to the divorce. That's when the official
paperwork came out. But in two thousand and five, let
me hip you to something. I had nothing.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I lost the.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Radio show we were on in LA on March twenty third,
and I lost the only TV show I had May tenth.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Steve Harvey had no money.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Got with Marjorie again on New Year's Eve, met her,
talked to her. She was with her kids in Hawaii.
We got together in two thousand and six. We had nothing.
She didn't marry into no lad lap of riches. I
had nothing when I asked her to marry me at
the end of two thousand and six, and then she
(24:31):
said she wanted to get married in two thousand and seven.
I sold her too soon. I got to get some
stuff together. She said what I said, Baber, I ain't
really got nothing. I'm trying to build. She said, I'm
gonna get in there and bill with you. We got
married in two thousand and seven. Do you know what
I was doing in two thousand and seven nothing. We
had four stations. In two thousand and five four we
built this. All of us built this. We had four stations.
(24:55):
We turned this into something. But that woman got down
there at fox Hole with me and turned this in
This in two thousand and seven, we got married. In
two thousand and eight, we found out that somebody had
stolen seven years of my tax returns.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I ain't gonna mention no name.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And we owed the government twenty two million dollars a
week in debt. But then guess what. She stayed with
me in that. Then guess what. In two thousand and nine,
I got family FEUs. In two thousand and nine, the
book came out. In twenty twelve, the talk.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Show came out.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I'm telling you, this woman got in the hole and
built this with me. She didn't steal nothing. And I'm
tired of y'all talking about my girl, because my girl
is one of the best women I've ever met. And
why you black ass people out there got these blogs
like you just gonna destroy somebody. I don't really know
what that's about, But don't worry about it because it
ain't working. Because all we are now we are a tighter,
(25:50):
two handed circle. Thank you for doing that, and you're
not gonna split us up, and we're not going nowhere.
And she is none of what you said she is,
and she the best check our notes. Now I'm defending her,
and you can feel how you want to feel about that.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
That's the God in me.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But now just let me give you one piece of
Steve Hawt I see your ass.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning
Show right after this.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
All right, we're back. This is the end of the show.
It's been a it's been a morning.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I'm proud of you, sure, I really am.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
It takes a lot of strength and a lot of
courage to do what you did, to be transparent like this. Sly,
you tell your story. Don't let other people tell your
story in our journey in life. We all make mistakes, Surely,
we all make mistakes, and yeah we have to you
have to keep asking God to guide your steps.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Can I say this? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Man, were family and we got family members. There's not
a moment that I ain't got on Steve nerves. And
he said, and in a private conversation with somebody else,
you know what Tommy got on my damn nerd today.
It's not like we haven't said things that we just say.
You know what the junior got on my damn nerds.
I'm sick of Junior. I've said that to somebody. You
(27:18):
know what I'm saying this.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Morning before I came to work, A time to getting
on your nerves. You said it before you open the mic.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
All the damn pictures, he said in Lord, call.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Us right, Tommy's right.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Nobody wants their private thoughts, man, nobody. Do you know
what would happen if any of us had our private
thoughts in private conversation, and Lord, we wouldn't have no
damn we wouldn't have a morning show y'all, wouldn't be
a y'all show, wouldn't have a job out there. I
(27:54):
just think that everybody, we don't live in the world
that's forgiving anymore. We don't live in a kind world anymore.
We live in a falling world. But we do have
a lot of huge fans on this show, and we
do understand that there's a lot of people who love us.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The problem that I've said at a hundred times is
hate is louder than love.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
But love is stronger, and we all gonna have to
learn that lesson. And as much as I want to
get out there and change things, and as much as
I wish people would stand up and back me more.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
That ain't the world we live in.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
We live in a social media climate and everybody's idea
is to tas somebody down to get clicks. And we're
just not gonna sit here and let you click this
sister's life away. And I'm not gonna sit here no
longer and let you destroy my wife's image and character.
It's hard and we need each other to support each other,
(28:56):
to show love.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Now. Look, man, do I expect this to change anything?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Probably not, But you know what, at least it feel
good to say your peace. Sometimes. Man, you just want
to be able to say your side. That's to tell
your damn story, your truth. Now, are they gonna twist it?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Are they gonna try to flip it and use it
against you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
But I got news for you, Isaiah fifty four seventeen
is real. It's the word of God. And I don't
care what you do. What God got for me, what
God got for you, what God got for Shirley, ain't
nothing you can do about it. What God got for Caring,
what God got for Junior, for timeing for Monica is
(29:48):
nothing you can do about it. No weapon formed to
givest me show prosper. You know what's really crazy, man?
Do you know really how YouTube and all this stuff works.
Do you know how many tens of thousands of cliques
you have to get to make three to five cent?
Do you know how many millions of views you got
to have to make thousands of dollars? But hear what
(30:08):
happened when y'all jump on that danger tam down trail
and you post your video.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
What y'all do to each other? Y'all cannibalize each other.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So if y'all would just leave that one video, everybody
would have to go there to see it, and that
person could profit. But no, y'all take it like y'all
did your music and you spread it on your site.
Now a person can go anywhere and get it. Now,
guess what now, ain't nobody getting a million views? So
don't nobody profit? No weapon formed to just me show possible.
(30:44):
And I just wish man, that we as a people
would get out the hate business, cause the hate business
don't pay. I don't know if y'all been watching real close,
but if you look at anybody out there that's been
in a hate business, that don't look real good right now.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
I don't know if you notice that.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Listen, y'all, there's a motivational speaker named George White, and
this dude he released something that has kept me and
I play. I play it to myself every day. I'm
gonna play this. This is George White, a motivational speaker.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
God chose you, so you're gonna have to fight more.
You're gonna have to do more. You're gonna have to
overcome more, but you gonna receive more. You're gonna receive more.
You who your blood I have been waiting for. And
God chose you because he know he can trust you.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
He knows he can trust you. He know you will
keep faith when things go bad.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
He knows you that you want to retaliate when people
do he evil gets you.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
He knows that you want to be conformed to this world.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
But you'll be praying form by the renew of your mind,
by the renew to your mind, because you jo.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
That's the God I serve, that's the God we serve. Shirley,
You're our girl, you our family. All this forgiving. We
come into work. Tommy almost think really important.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Shirley.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yes, at least you don't have to cook no more.
You know that you know what I'm everything she said,
you know what I'm I mean, you ain't.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Look at the bright side, there's a a lot to
pots and pay us up.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Shut well.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I just want to say, you know, thank you guys
for letting me finally get that out holding it in
for quite some time. Thank you, guys. That's all I
can say. And Steve to you, thank you of course
