Speaker 2 (01:13):
Turn you gotta turn?

Speaker 7 (01:27):
Well I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I got to turn about turn you probably got to turn.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Mount the turn out a wad of the morning up.
Look me, come me.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
Come out.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
You think that, huh? I sure will?

Speaker 9 (02:03):
Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice? Come on,
dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Here we go today. I think I have
something for a lot of people today, at least I
hope I do. And this is about on your journey,
And this is about something that happens to us all.

(02:27):
I mean, what happens to all of us from time
to time when we get discouraged, What happens to all
of us when we feel like quitting, What happens to
all of us when we have that turnback moment. What
happens to all of us when it don't seem like

(02:48):
it's going to pan out? Because I want you to
understand something that everyone, every single living soul, has those
thoughts about something some point in their life. I mean,
you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about things not
happening as fast as I like them. All things don't

(03:12):
pan out the way I would like for them to
have panned out. I mean, it's so many ways to
get discouraged. But what my encouragement to you is when
discouragement comes is understand this. It is a part of

(03:32):
the growth process. It is a test. It is a
test of your faith. How bad you want it, do
you really believe? That's all faith is is simply and
I've said this how many times. Faith is the belief

(03:55):
in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes,
set comes, it is a test of your faith. At
least it's been that way for me. Now other people
can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I
can only give it to you the way it has
come to me and throughout my life and man or
man or man discouragement sometimes it's tough to.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Deal with.

Speaker 9 (04:20):
Because it seems at times when you were discouraged that
it is so absolute that this means the end, and
if you allow it to set in, it can be
just that the end of you when merely merely, it
was a test, that's all it is. But the majority

(04:43):
of people that I know who are not successful or
who have told me the story of how they gave up,
it was because at a moment of discouragement that they
allowed it to set in and it became so engulfing
that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And

(05:05):
then they started justifying it with hit the one that
I hate to hear. Well, if it's God's will, excuse me.
If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's
will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that
you lay down and give up, it's God's will that

(05:27):
you allow yourself to amount to, not to not reach
your potential. That's God's will. That's not the God I know.
That's not the God I serve. That's not the God
I've read about. That's not the God I believe in.
I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something

(05:47):
that he didn't bring me this far to leave me.
I just don't believe that, not for a second. Now
have I convinced myself for some things, Yep? Have I
allowed the devil to come into the picture and paint
a different one from it. Yep, yep, I've done all
of that, But you can't blame that on God. Now,

(06:10):
come on, So when discouragement comes, try to look at
it if you can, as a test of your faith,
and you merely have to pass the test. It could
be for a day, a half a day, a few hours,
a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody

(06:31):
know how long the test period is. Your job is
to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith
and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive.
That's your job. If you do that, that's how you
pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could

(06:51):
be over in two weeks, it could be over in
a month.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You don't know. But all you got to do is
wake up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging.
And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go.

Speaker 9 (07:03):
This is the part I know about for show because
how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in
order to get to where God wanted me to be.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I
think of the outcome.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
When I get discouraged about a task, I think about
the outcome Man, what would it be like if I
were to complete the task?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
What would it be like? Man? What would the outcome
be for me if I hung loan in there? If
I didn't give up.

Speaker 9 (07:36):
If I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit, I
imagine if I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Give up, what would it be like?

Speaker 8 (07:47):
Man?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true.

Speaker 9 (07:52):
But if I don't quit and give up, that might
just be the case. I start talking to myself like that,
I think of what the upside is. What's the upside
to stay in with it? You see, all this is
the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to
look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over
and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch

(08:14):
that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man,
I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of
the outcome and the outcome is appealing to you, if
you imagine what it would be like if you don't
give up or you don't quit, if you think only
of what the upside is to stay in with it,

(08:34):
and then I go, where can this lead to? If
I stay with it, man, and the outcome comes true?
What else could that lead me to? Because I mean,
there's always more to it. So where else could this
lead me to? What are the possibilities?

Speaker 7 (08:53):
Man?

Speaker 9 (08:54):
What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have
in store for me? If I just hang in there,
if I pass this test of faith? If I just
pass this test, now, it ain't gonna be the only one.
But you gotta get past this one. No, then you
gonna hear the smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one.

(09:14):
It's gonna be another one. Life ain't nothing but a
series of tests.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Man.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
Man, when you're thinking about giving up, when you're discouraged,
think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like
if you don't quit, if you don't give up, what's
the upside to staying with it? Where can this all
lead to? What can this get you to? If you
do this and you get to where you think you

(09:40):
want to be? Oh my god, what's after that? What
are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on to
your faith?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
What could really be out there for me?

Speaker 10 (09:52):
Man?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
If I just passed this test, you gotta talk yourself
into hanging in there.

Speaker 11 (09:57):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (10:04):
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to give thanks

Why?

Speaker 9 (24:10):
Because dog, you are a sugar daddy? Why you don't

to be a benefit package. This is an exchange you're having.
Listen to me, Dog, listen to me. You are participating
in the oldest profession known on record. It's a form

(24:54):
of it, and you are participating in it. And you
can call it what you want to call it. First
of all, she ain't your wife. You think she gonna
give you what you want without you giving her what
she want?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Work? How does that work.

It's an affair.

Speaker 11 (25:13):
She's much younger, So there you go.

This affair has a label to it. You are a
sugar daddy. I don't know how old you are, bro,
but you're older than her.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, listen to me.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
If Tommy myself were out there, wiley, guess what we'd
have to be sugar daddies.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
That would be. I would be such a low budget
sugar daddy. See and now Tommy he you know tight,
So that's it all right.

Speaker 10 (25:55):
Moving on to Teresa in Seattle, Risa writes, I overheard
my stepdad and my boyfriend talking about women. My stepdad
said he hates he's married because a lot of women
want to sleep with him. Really, he told my boyfriend
not to ever get married. Can I tell my mom

(26:16):
that her husband is unhappy? And he gave my boyfriend
bad advice about marriage.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Wow, Well they.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Own your boy they own them, they want them.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
They come and they didn't want me. Now I'm hot.
They're all on you.

Speaker 11 (26:34):
Yeah, which I wasn't married.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
It's probably not true.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let him just go go out on the nails. You
knew how they wanted me.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
Well, I got him draped over there like a bad
set of curtains, man, don't get married.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think it's a conversation. You really just need to
leave alone.

Speaker 10 (27:08):
She overheard it, Yes, she overheard it, and she's considering
telling her mom what she heard or what she overheard
her dad say.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
It's her stepdad. Yeah, I don't think you need to
say that in that jokeing why would ladies get information?
They just can't hold it and use it today? Knowledge?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Why they got to say something immediately? Well here's why.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Why do men probably doesn't care when the dog?

Speaker 11 (27:36):
Why are men always saying stupid stuff?

Speaker 5 (27:39):
You know?

Speaker 9 (27:40):
Shirley answered the question, don't deflect with another question. Tommy
asked you why y'all can hold water while.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Y'all say something stupid? Because we stupid? We're not denying it.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
All right?

Speaker 10 (28:01):
Last one, Steve, This is from Misha or Yeah, Misha
and Philly. Misha writes, I had a work trip, so
I cooked all day on Sunday to leave meals for
my husband and two kids. When I got back home
three days later, my food was untouched. They said they
ate fast.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Food every day.

Speaker 11 (28:20):
I was so hurt. How could they all take me
for granted?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Wow? Now they didn't take you for granted. Oh no,
what she cooked this is a lesson.

Speaker 11 (28:32):
Then what's the lesson?

Speaker 9 (28:35):
They don't really care for you'll cook it. You were
going to say that, saying about gratitude and nothing.

Speaker 10 (28:45):
She cooked all day Sunday so she could leave meals
for her family.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
And what did you cook home for three days?

Speaker 11 (28:56):
She didn't say, and.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
And and the key and the daddy probably like, man,
it's much quicker to just stop and grab some fast
food than to heat.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
His food up.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yep, they're getting the number one.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah. Oh and let me tell you something else. They
opened that pot up, they saw what you made.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
That daddy.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And he didn't want it either. Yeah, anybody want that?

Speaker 11 (29:27):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (29:27):
So she's saying they took her for granted. What's your
response to that.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
One, Well, they didn't take you for granted.

Speaker 9 (29:35):
You know, kids don't really know the work that goes
into cooking, so they didn't take you for granted.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Your husband was actually grateful and and but here's the problem.

Speaker 9 (29:46):
You you got to go on the trip you had,
you had some free time, you got away from the
family and kids, enjoy yourself.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Come back, you know.

Netflix says that they have the necessary rights to all
footage used in the Sean Combs The Reckoning docu series.
According to USA Today, Netflix said they had offered an
interview to Ditty, which he declined. Diddy's team has since
argued that the biased Netflix production used quotes stolen footage

(31:01):
that was never authorized for release. They said, we also
learned in part one of the docuseries, we did we
learned this. Bad Boy Records co founder Kirk Burrows claims
did he slapped his own mother and called her B
word when she asked him about the fatal stampede at

For us, but you guess okay, so yes, I do.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
Let me tell you guys this, so you know, pop
singer Sabrina Carpenter is very upset with the Trump administration.
The White House posted a video showing Ice agents arresting
people and they were using Sabrina Carpenter's song, and the
White House caption reads, have you tried this one? Referencing
to one of the lyrics of her songs. So, Sabrina Carpenter,

(36:23):
she clapped back. She posted a statement saying this video
is evil and disgusting. Don't do not ever involve me
or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. The White
House responded to Sabrina Carpenter, we won't apologize for deporting
dangerous criminal, illegal, murderous rapists, pedophiles from our country. Anyone

(36:45):
who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid or
is slow.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
You to use her music.

Speaker 9 (36:54):
Yeah, for all of the people that you're deporting that
are not any of the above listed things, you said it, yes,
because the majority of people that they're deporting do not
fit into the category that they claim to be clearing
the country out of thanks checking records or nothing.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
They're just picking people up.

Speaker 10 (37:13):
Man. All right, coming number twenty minutes after, we're gonna
talk about the quarter zip trend.

Speaker 11 (37:19):

Verizon's got the perfect solve for both. They have incredible
gift bundles. You get the latest phone with a new
line on my plan and a brand new smartwatch and tablet,

during job interviews. Young black men all over the country
are embracing this trend. Quarter zips are knit like collar
design with a quarter zip length. This style is often
associated with the preppy and business casual wear layered over
a button down shirt with slacks and loafers. Young black
men are now opting for quarter zips instead of Nike

(38:54):
tech jackets. Furthermore, they are pairing this look with Macha
green tea, promoting a healthy beverage choice over sugary drink.

Speaker 11 (39:02):

Speaker 1 (41:05):

Speaker 11 (41:07):
Coming up at thirty four minutes after.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Hey, stick us off that hat.

Speaker 11 (41:12):
Hey, kids are mad.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
Kids are mad because of this allowance inflation. We'll talk
about that right after this. You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
All right, guys, so let's talk about parenting in today's
you know, let's have a discussion about this. Inflation is
making everything harder to afford these days. We know that,

(41:37):
and even young kids. Our young kids have noticed, which
is why they're asking for a raise. Have you noticed
that kids are asking for raises in their allowance now?
Kids say rising costs of sneakers, clothes, video games, fast food, coffee, drink,
snacks at school events are.

Speaker 11 (41:54):
All on the rise.

Speaker 10 (41:56):
So new poll by Talker Research finds at three out
four parents give their kids an allowance, usually starting at
around the age of ten. Mostly give cash, but some
parents use apps or prepaid debit cards. Two thirds of
parents say they give an allowance to teach kids about
money and financial responsibility. Others say it's a reward for

(42:17):
things like doing chores or getting good grades. Great, So
here's a question. Did you get an allowance when you
were a kid? First of all, did you guys get
an allowance?

Speaker 8 (42:28):
How could.

Speaker 11 (42:30):
You didn't get an allowance?

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Steve?

Speaker 9 (42:32):
No, okay, Well do you they to me about money
from the get go was we ain't got none, and
neither do you?

Speaker 8 (42:46):
But at you now? Are we?

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Everybody? We ain't got none and neither to you? Now?

Speaker 9 (42:57):
Going out there, get yourself a paper, oute, find yourself
some work and get yourself some money.

Speaker 10 (43:03):
Well yeah, so do you give your kids allowances? Do
you do your kids have allowance?

Speaker 7 (43:12):
My kids do, and your grandkids and it be on
Apple pay. From what I understand this is my my
wife does this, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
Yeah, But I think my philosophy is, you know, I
don't think you should pay kids for good grades.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I don't know. I think that's your job as a student.
Never got no money in.

Speaker 7 (43:35):
For good grades.

Speaker 11 (43:36):
I give my grandkids.

Speaker 10 (43:37):
I do give them because they're Yeah, when they get
on a roll in straight a's I do.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I treat them so you reward that. I tell you
what happened. That's your job.

Speaker 9 (43:47):
But I tell them that, I tell you what happened
to me. My grades were so bad one year I
got a C I got my report car. My daddy
bought me a bike.

Speaker 11 (44:06):
That's good things average. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
But he rewarded him on the best. That was the
best he.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Could at this boy right here.

Okay, yeah, yeah, but when they were younger, When they
were younger.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Did you get they got allowances? They did? But what
they get it for nothing, just for being because your
daddy done made it.

Speaker 11 (56:51):
All right, nephew, thank you. Subject.

Speaker 10 (56:53):
I love the man that catfished me. Dear Stephen Shirley.
I'm divorced and my children are grown. I hadn't dated
in years, but I figured I wouldn't have trouble meeting
someone because I'm still in my prime, and I don't
look like I'm fifty six. I decided to try online dating,
and I was honest on my dating profile. I used

(57:14):
a current picture of myself and I added that I
am a grandma, so there would be no confusion about
my age. I quickly met a guy and he said
he wasn't big on texting, so he insisted that we
talk all the time. We have a lot in common,
and we're both interested in a long term relationship, not
necessarily marriage. After two months of talking, I wanted to

(57:37):
meet him, but he was honest about his financial issues.
The financial issues he was having, and he said I'd
have to wait a while for him to come meet me.
I felt myself falling in love with him, so I
decided that our age we shouldn't have At our age,
we shouldn't have to wait for love. I purchased him

(57:58):
a plane ticket to come meet me. That was when
he opened up and admitted that he was falling in
love with me too. I went to pick him up
from the airport and I described my car to him.
After a few minutes, I noticed a very tall, slightly chubby,
and very light skinned guy with a George Jefferson haircut,

(58:19):
waving towards my car.

Speaker 11 (58:21):
It was my him in all of his pictures.

Speaker 10 (58:25):
He was buff and he had a fad style haircut,
and he was chocolate like I like my men. I
told him that he catfished me, and he got defensive
and said he could go back home. I allowed him
to stay because I honestly think that he's my person
and he's in love with me too. We've had a
few small hiccups since that day at the airport, but

(58:46):
it's great to finally have a romantic partner. We're talking
about moving in together soon. Am I crazy for staying
with this guy after he catfished me?

Speaker 7 (58:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (58:59):
Yeah, yeah, And I definitely wouldn't rush into moving in
together right away because there could be something else he's
catfishing you about.

Speaker 11 (59:08):
You don't know this man. I mean, you said you.

Speaker 10 (59:11):
Guys are in love with each other, you love him,
and he's fallen in love with you. He finally admitted
this is after two months of talking on the phone.
I'll say it again. You don't know this guy, and
you have you thought about how this is going to work.
He lives out of town. You need to see where
he lives. You need to see how he lives. You

(59:31):
need to meet his family, his close friends, his boys.
You need to know something more about this man. Don't
be so desperate that you start thinking about permanent things
with this man just because you're of a certain age.
You're fifty six, I mean, that would be a big mistake,
and it can cause you to settle for any guy
because you're fifty six and afraid of aging and being alone.

(59:54):
It's okay to want to be with someone. That's fine,
but it's got.

Speaker 11 (59:58):
To be the right person for you.

Speaker 10 (01:00:00):
This man has already confessed to you about not being
financially straight, and at least he told you the truth
about that. But he didn't apologize for catfishing you. Instead,
he got mad and threatened to leave. These are red flags.
These are red flags just staring you in your face.
Please don't ignore them, or you'll you're sure to be sorry.

Speaker 9 (01:00:19):
Steve, all right, the subject is I love the man
that catfished me. Okay, we'll get to the catfish thing
in a minute, but first, what.

Speaker 8 (01:00:30):
Is wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Have you lost your mind?

Speaker 7 (01:00:36):
Do you not?

Speaker 9 (01:00:36):
Have you lost the power of reasoning and thinking? The
catfish thing? He don't look like his big chaw chocolate
buff pitcher. We'll get to that in a minute. Let's
get to the part where he didn't catfish. Let's go
to the non cat fished matter at hand. You're still

(01:01:00):
in your prime, your fifty six, and you don't look
like you tried some online dating. You used the current
picture yourself. You was honest with your age. You even
told people the grandmother that your grandmother, so wouldn't be
no confusion. You met this guy online. He wasn't big
on Texans, so insisted that we talk all the time. Girl,

(01:01:22):
you got to talk and and found out y'all got
a lot of income. All two months went by, talk talk,
talk talk, talk, y'all just only for just running your
mind two months online. You wanted the meeting. Now let's
get into the non catfish party. He was honest about

(01:01:43):
his financial issues he was having and said I'd have
to wait a while for him to come meet me. Alrighty,
you already fifty six. You dain't a man that ain't
got no money. I know it don't because listen to this.

(01:02:09):
So I decided at our age, listen to me. Since
you're making decisions at your age, I'm trying to figure
out how you came to this conclusion. I decided at
our age that we shouldn't have to wait for love. Okay, cool,
But what does that have to do with the next statement.

(01:02:29):
I purchased him a plane ticket for him to come
meet me. Lady, If this ain't off to a bad start,
I don't know what is. You're dating and falling for
a man that can't even come see you, and you're
a long distance relationship.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
I purchased him. That is when he opened up and
admitted that he was falling in love with me too.
I'll be done. God, you bought him an airplane. Take
it hang he love.

today's strawberry letter. The subject is I love the man
that catfished me.

Speaker 9 (01:03:58):
Fifty seven year old when kids are grown. Fifty six
year old woman, kids grown out the house, ain't dated
in a while, decided to start dating, went online, met
a guy. The name of the subject of the letter
is though I love the man that catfishman. So you
all know what that means. That means that the person

(01:04:19):
that you meet online was not the person you met online.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
He was completely somebody else.

Speaker 9 (01:04:25):
But before we get into the catfishing, let's talk about
the real facts that's not catfish. Y'all got to talk
and talk for two months. You got a lot in common.
We both interested in the long term relationship, not necessarily married.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Then after a couple months of talking, you wanted to
meet him. But he was honest.

Speaker 9 (01:04:45):
Here we go, this is the part where there ain't
catfishing come in at He was honest about his financial
issues and said I'd have to wait a while for
him to come meet me.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
I decided, here we go, this where stupid kick is.

Speaker 9 (01:05:02):
I decided, at our age, we shouldn't have to wait
to fall in love. I purchased him a plane ticket
for him to come meet me. If ever, there was
a relationship off to a bad start, here it is.

(01:05:23):
That was when he opened up and admitted he was
falling in love.

Speaker 7 (01:05:27):
With me too.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
I couldn't believe it. I can't you done. Brought him
a ticket, so I went to pick him up at
the airport.

Speaker 9 (01:05:38):
Now this is the perfect time to tell you that
he's falling in love with you too, because you're on
the way to the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
I went to pick him up, and I described my
car to him.

Speaker 7 (01:05:49):
After a few minutes, I noticed a very tall, slightly chubby,
very light skinned guy with a George Jefferson haircut.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Wow, now here come doctor Field walking towards your car.

Speaker 9 (01:06:08):
Yeah, you thought Morri's Chestnut was coming, and he'll come
doctor Field.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Waving towards my car. It was my him.

Speaker 9 (01:06:27):
And all of his pictures. He was buff, he had
a fade hairstyle. He was chocolate like the men I like.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
I told him. He catfished me. He got defensive and said, well,
I can go back home. There you got a lot
of nerd.

Speaker 7 (01:06:44):
Doog, you little chubby going ball, fat, light skinned, broke,
and then you got the nerd and say I'll just
go back home like you ain't wrong.

Speaker 9 (01:06:59):
Our I allowed him to stay because, honestly, I think
that he's my person.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Lady, Why.

Speaker 9 (01:07:09):
What has he done to make you think he's your person?
Except tell you he was in love with you after
you bought him a ticket to see you. We had
a few small hiccups since that day at the airport.
You mean, some more lies came out, But it's great
to finally have a romantic partner. Romantic were talking about

(01:07:34):
moving in together soon, moving in where, lady, he already
ain't got no airplane ticket money, moving where. He gonna
move in with you or you move in with him.
I promise you you can't go there because he got
I stayed at my mama house, rode all over here.

(01:07:56):
Am I crazy for staying with this guy? After he
catfished me? That ain't even the catfish. That's one thing.
Because he don threaten to go back home. Your problem
is you had to buy him a ticket to come
see you, he explained, in this financial situation, so he
didn't even have the money to bring hisself there, which

(01:08:18):
means he don't have the money to bring you there.
So now, man that don't have the money to take
hisself somewhere, he probably don't have nowhere.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
To take you.

Speaker 9 (01:08:31):
What do you think this man lives in Kee? Then
probably sent you a picture of a big house too.
He ain't tall, dark, buffed, and he doesn't have a fade.
Nobody fades they have from the top nobody.

Speaker 10 (01:08:46):
That's not how we fail.

Speaker 9 (01:08:51):
The fade starts from the temple area of the hen.
We don't run a raise across the top of our
head from the top down.

Speaker 11 (01:09:04):
That visual is crazy.

Speaker 9 (01:09:06):
Lady, what are you doing? Lady, listen to me. Run
run Stop having a relationship with doctor Field. Stop he chubby,

(01:09:28):
he don't work out, and doctor Field ain't chubby though,
But just to George have George Jefferson hairstyle, light skin,
that's the doctor philder. This ain't who you got, and
doctor Field got money, and doctor Field would have sent
his plane to pick you up. You didn't get Doctor Field, though,

(01:09:48):
did you You got George Jefferson's dollar?

A man on social media needs some advice.

Speaker 10 (01:13:55):
He says, she broke up with me, but once the
concert tickets will talk about it.

Speaker 11 (01:13:59):

Speaker 11 (01:14:05):

Speaker 8 (01:14:12):
All right.

Speaker 10 (01:14:12):
This is from Jay and Steve Harvey FM. Jay says,
a couple of months ago, I bought tickets for my
girlfriend and me to a concert that is happening next year.
A concert that's happening next year. The show is several
months away. But yesterday my now ex girlfriend told me
she'd been seeing someone else and broke things off with me.
At the end of the breakup conversation, she asked when

(01:14:35):
I would be able to forward her the tickets.

Speaker 11 (01:14:37):
Since they were for us, I see no reason that
they should now be hers.

Speaker 10 (01:14:42):
Is there any reason at all that I should feel
obligated to pass them along to her so she can
go with this other dude or even sell them herself.
My friends say, let her have them and be through
with her. By the way, the concert is Tony Braxton. Ooh,
new edition and Boys to men.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
I wish I would buy some tickets for me and
my girl. We break up.

Speaker 9 (01:15:07):
She asks for the tickets and tell you she seeing
somebody else or see somebody else. Need to afford you
the lifestyle that you want. That's right, No, girl, get
them dog. Look, dude, let me tell you something. I
have a bad chick with me at that concert.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
So fast, so fast, look at me now, all right?

Speaker 9 (01:15:36):
If you give her them tickets, you you, you go
right to the top of the stupidness.

Speaker 10 (01:15:44):
Yeah, but what about his friends? They're pressuring him. I'll
just give her the tickets and be through with her.

Speaker 8 (01:15:50):
No way.

Speaker 9 (01:15:55):
You must be in a group of like nerd type
dudes or something like that. I ain't got a and
nowhere will go. Man, just give it the tickets that'll
go with the other band. And she confessed, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Know no people like that.

Speaker 9 (01:16:10):
Okay, all right, so that's a big fat all My
friends now hate her too, as it's.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Yeah, I got a friend who uh now we own
in that city.

Speaker 10 (01:16:27):
I pass No, I can't tell it. Yeah, all right,
Uh we're gonna move on. Then we have time for
another one. This is from d On Steve Harvey fm
D says, I have four kids in three different schools,
and their combined extracurricular schedules are so chaotic that I'm
constantly racing from one place to another, always feeling like

(01:16:48):
I'm letting someone down. Between band concerts, football practices, science
club meetings, after school tutoring, and my own work schedule,
there's no way to physically be at everything, but every
missed event makes me feel like I'm failing as a parent.
I've tried color coding calendars and coordinating carpools, but there's

(01:17:08):
still earnt enough hours in a day to be the
kind of present involved mom I want to be. Lately,
I've been lying in bed wondering if my kids will
look back and remember me as the mom who wasn't
there even though I'm doing everything I can. How do
parents figure out what's enough when it feels impossible to
keep up?

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Wow Oo, I'm not gonna help you. I'm just gonna
be honest with you. This is where dad is necessary. Yeah,
I didn't go to nothing, so I didn't, oh because
you were working.

Speaker 6 (01:17:42):
Take that guilt away, because yeah, the best, the best
you can. Maybe she can get a girlfriend group and
that's that's kind of like what we do. We have
a girlfriend group, so we kind of support each other.
You look in the stands, that kid look in the stands.
If one mom can't be there, then the girlfriend is there.
It's like an auntie group and we.

Speaker 10 (01:18:02):
Represent and but there's no such thing as no mom
guilt because you're you're gonna have it out of white yourself.
But you're gonna have it if you're a mom. You
just really, I mean, that's the truth, you know, because
you want to be there, but you just can't.

Speaker 11 (01:18:21):
But you want to be there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
Yeah, you can't do everything. YEA, one in the band
got to stop being in the band.

Speaker 11 (01:18:29):
We gotta pull something out, how you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Yeah, we're going to grade these activities on the three three.
You know, I'm not coming.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
You ain't that good playing the.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Club. I'm not coming down there.

Speaker 11 (01:18:47):
That you're doing the best you can.

Thank you for listening to us, writing with us, rolling
with us every single morning. Junior, before we get out
of here, I know you have a question for Steve.

Speaker 8 (01:25:37):
You know unc people? Uh, you say you have no
faith in people? None.

Speaker 9 (01:25:42):
I told y'all, Junior, So you want to bring it on?
I told y'all, I told you I got them, gave
him a level of intelligence. That's what he was hoping for.
Junior got lewards and but they look really nice though.
Junior got a nice pair of glasses on. They look

(01:26:05):
exactly like the pair of Carl and Monica got on.

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
Let me see the side of him, Jr. Let me
see what do you turn to the side?

Speaker 9 (01:26:14):
Yeah, hey man, let me see it. Let me see
it without the hat so I could see it. Yeah,
asking a lot. Take the hat off.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
He they different? You just you just went into an
insect commercial.

Speaker 7 (01:26:32):
If this ain't John Save, he don't look like he
could be on the raid commercial right now.

Speaker 11 (01:26:40):
But at least he can see now.

Speaker 8 (01:26:42):
Least he can I can see now, Yes, it's good,
so so so, Junior, what's the question again?

Speaker 5 (01:26:48):
You know.

Speaker 12 (01:26:51):
When you when you put your faith in people, they'll
let you down and you feel some type of way
because you wouldn't do that, you wouldn't do it.

Speaker 8 (01:27:01):
And well it feels some type of way.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
About it too. You fuild it, you do well.

Speaker 9 (01:27:06):
You know what I think, all of us, all of
us on this radio show, who I've known for a
number of years, is like family to me. You know,
when you sit on the radio as much as we
do with each other, through every commercial break, every song,
all of it, every down to every technical difficulty, we

(01:27:27):
have spent an enormous amount of time talking. I mean,
we know each other's kids, grandkids, We know where each
other everybody go to school, We know graduations, we know
big events. We know Tasha was in Macy's Day parade.
We know about each other. We know how long Tasha

(01:27:47):
been in cheer. We watched Tommy's kids grow up, go
to college. We watch that, y'all have watched my life.
We know each other and you're not gonna find another you,
and you can quit looking for you. That has been

(01:28:10):
so disappointing to me in my life till I finally
had to learn Steve stopped looking for another you that
are no more. And if you keep looking for another you,
you're gonna be disappointed.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
Over and over and over.

Speaker 9 (01:28:24):
How you would do a person's gonna be very hard
to find people that would do you the same way.
It's hard, man, now, and especially in family, you could
just throw that out the window because you don't get
to pick them now. I have some friends who I
have picked over the years that I choose to associate
myself with, who are more like I am, who call

(01:28:48):
and check on me, what ain't nothing wrong?

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Hey, man?

Speaker 9 (01:28:51):
I got three dudes that if I picked the phone
up right now and I said, hey man, I got
a problem with this cat down here, man, But I
can't do nothing because you know my situation. I'm on
the plane, man, and they'll get on the plane. I
know three people right now I can call and say
I can tell them anything, and they coming without question.

(01:29:15):
But they've been tested and true over a number of years.
I have a friend that I've been friends with for
sixty four years. He has proven nothing to be nothing
except my friend. I'm down, he coming, he down, I'm coming.
Everybody else Man, I don't really count on people to
be like me. And a lot of times, especially if

(01:29:37):
you're the chosen one, if you're the one in your
family that made the breakthrough, which all of you are
on this show, Mississippi Monica included, all of you are
on this show. Do you know how many times you're
gonna be disappointed? You know how many ways you're gonna
get pulled in? I need this, I want that cause
they know and they think you got it and you

(01:29:57):
do have it, but you don't have it for them,
and you have to distance yourself from family. Sometimes it's
people that's my family. I'm ride or die. No, no,
because you will end up not riding but dying often
because with family often times up comes a very very low,

(01:30:20):
low level of appreciation. They just don't because they remember
you winning. You know, Mary, you got all that money.
I remember when you ain't had nothing. I used to, man,
I used to have to let you drive my car.

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
You remember that time? Hey, man, do you know do
you know? Man? A guy Let me get this story
straight because it just threw me off.

Speaker 10 (01:30:42):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:30:43):
Oh, a guy that I knew before I got into comedy.
We started a business together. It was a carpet cleaning company,
and he bought a Clark machine at a pawn shop
with the big brush on it. It was a carpet shampoo.

(01:31:03):
That carpet shampoo at the pawn shop was two hundred
and thirty five dollars. He bought it and we started
cleaning carpets like that. Do you know I have not
talked to this guy in years. He called me and
now he wants to open up a club in Florida
and asked me for the money to open the club

(01:31:25):
in Florida. Because if you remember when you had nothing,
I gave you the money to start your carpet cleaning company.
Two hundred and thirty five dollars is what we opened
the business with. You know how much he won't four
hundred thousand, and he equated it to the two hundred and.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Thirty five dollars.

Speaker 8 (01:31:47):
Boy, what.

Speaker 9 (01:31:51):
Y'all have a good day today. Stop expecting people to
be like you because they ate talk to God today.

Speaker 1 (01:31:56):
He loved to hear from your peace.
