Good morning everybody.

You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Real glad about it too.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I hope that God.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Always keeps me in the frame of mind to try
to be sharing and try to be motivational and ubly
even when it's not felt or wanted by some people.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I have people around me.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Who seem to not benefit at all or anything, and
I can sit with them and talk to them or
take meetings with them to try to encourage them, and
for whatever reason, you know, they want to just keep
going the way they're going. When you run into people
like that, you have to pray for them. You have
to just hope that one day that they release the
chains on their mind and open up your mind to

(02:56):
a new way of thinking. A couple of things I
wanted to go over with that want you all today
in terms of motivation, I want you to be aware
of statements or old sayings that have been created that
you hear over the course of time, and you may
be applying them to your life. And I want you

(03:18):
to be careful of some of them because some of
these old sayings, man, are not designed for people who
are dreamers, are not designed for people who have any
aspirations of being extraordinary. These are not designs or sayings
that people who want to be extremely successful at anything

(03:42):
or have high aspirations to put these sayings into your life.
Let me give you an example. Statistics say that's it.
That's the one. I want you to be careful about.
Statistics say, be very careful of stats. When a person says,

(04:05):
you know, statistics say one out of every what see,
listen to me. These are things that sound like they're good,
sound solid advice, but they're setting you up for failure.
And you can't adhere yourself to a lot of these
sayings that's been passed down from generations. And it's not scripture.

(04:28):
It ain't in a scripture nowhere that statistics say. It's
just some people, and a lot of people who have
lost have come up with these sayings to justify why
they keep losing or why they lost. When I was
earth got started in the business, there were more stand

(04:49):
ups around now than it is today because the comedy
boom in eighty four eighty five was it was gaining
a lot of momentums, comedy club, comedy nights everywhere. The
statistic that a guy told me I told him I
wanted to be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show.

(05:13):
The guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians
ever make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, now, when
he told us that, some of the comedians in the
room went, well.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Wow, man, that's rough. Because a guy had also said
that there was.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
Approximately six thousand comedians in the country at that time.
I don't know if it was true. I'm just telling
you a guy was out there spewing numbers. I have
no idea how many it was, but he said one
in every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show.
And he let the air out of everybody in the
room but me. So every night before I went on stage,

(05:58):
I used to do this right here, Bute that bad.
That was the tonight theme song. I was young opening
act nowhere near Hollywood, didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one night.

Speaker 7 (06:17):
But that was my thing because I was bent and
determined that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why
don't I just be the one?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Be careful when.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
People say statistics, say because they are set up to
fulfailure if you're gonna adhere to them. See that won
in so many it wanted. So many people win the lottery.
But if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna
be the one to hit. Not when the dude hits
you go while he was lucky, but he played. Here's
another one. Maybe it's not meant to be. Let's go

(06:48):
one step further. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will.
Don't you dare blame God for something you may have
not done yourself because you didn't get the proper education,
because you didn't do the things you were supposed to do,
because you didn't stay to the task, because you quit,

(07:09):
turned around and went the other way.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Now, maybe it's not it wasn't the lord's will.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but
they ain't all the time, got nothing to do with you.
Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way
of what can happen in your life.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Who came
up with this? Who came up with it?

Speaker 7 (07:40):
If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing,
how are you gonna be great at that one thing?
If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had
not played basketball sun up to sundown. Magic Johnson didn't
go to Michigan to get an education. Larry Berry ain't

(08:02):
go to Indiana to get an education. These cats was balling.
Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education.
They went to play ball. They went to do one thing.
Tiger Woods didn't go to Stamford to get an education.
He went to play golf. Soon as he got good enough,
he gone. These is guys that put all they eggs

(08:25):
in one basket. See what's cool with putting all your
eggs in one basket is you now can maximize your
effort and laser beam what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Your problem is all you.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Gotta do is make sure what is your basket made
out of If your basket is made out of faith, hope,
hard work, and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'm dumping all mine in it.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
Because ever since I was a young dude, I've been
telling jokes one thing, one thing only. Even when it
got ugly and I was living in a car, I
never quit telling them jokes.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Man.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay
me one day, and I'll be dog gone if it didn't.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I ain't take no time off.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
Go work at the Walmart, get me a job, go
back to Ford and big for my job back.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hey, man, put all your eggs in a basket.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief,
hard work.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Your basket woven by God. What you tripping for?

Speaker 7 (09:28):
You're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief?
Where is your trust? At one point in time, you
got to bleed that God could do what he said
gonna do because he'dn't done it for others, He'll most
certainly do it for you. Be careful of these sayings
that's out here, that's aligned by losers and people to
justify why they are not succeeding. Don't apply this stuff

(09:51):
to your life, and it ain't got nothing to do
with you.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
You're gonna mess yourself up. All right.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Okay, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, let me have your attention. God has
done it again. The arrival of a new day, the
fact that we are here present in it. What an
amazing gift. It is, what an honor. Make the best
of today. Okay, but start your day with gratitude. Tell
God thank you for everything he's done for you and

(10:25):
everything he's working on on your behalf. And remember, man,
as long as you got God, you're gonna be all right.

I'm about to tell you something now, okay, now make
it for some say it's a.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
Tale, but it's nothing but the truth that started from
this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Stop right there. We was on boat too small.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
I learned about boats from an old man one time.
He said, I done been on a boat too small before,
but I ain't never been.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
On one that's too big.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
We started from a tropical port on a tiny ship.
Had just like living in a tiny house. You can
brag about it all you want, but you don't good
a wear. You wanted to regular size house. You ain't
had the money. Now you're trying to justify why are
you sitting there next to the tarlet frying fish.

Speaker 8 (20:07):
The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper braving shore.
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Stop right there.

Speaker 7 (20:19):
We we count people on the boat, the skipper, the captain,
three other people. Yeah, that five right there, But it
was more than that because they left out some people.
Because the house was two people, Ginger was one man,

(20:41):
was another one. You had skipper and Gilligan, and you
had the professor. That's seven people. They ain't even told
the story. They said at the beginning, I'm gonna tell.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You a tale.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
Sound like a lot of me. The wall started getting rough.
The tiny ship was pus.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
Stop right there, key word tiny ship, rough weather toss
everybody in trouble. We gonna put a pin in it.
Allo that hole in the boat. Everybody went down and
ended up on the island somewhere. Had some years of
TV on a whole show about an island save five
white people right there. Not only wasn't no black people
own there because the black people said, we ain't getting

(21:19):
on the little tiny shoe.

ask the Colo. This is from Jeralen in Saint Louis Colo.
She writes, my daughter had a skating party and there

(22:34):
was a group of young ladies in their twenties also
having a skate party at the rink. My husband sent
them around of drinks and he went to talk to them.

Speaker 1 (22:43):

grown up and somebody skated by, looking right though, I'll tell.

Speaker 1 (23:16):

Okay, all right?

Speaker 9 (23:37):
But we go on to Felicity in Tampa. Felicity writes,
my coworker asked me to drop him off at his
wife's office after work. I took him and her messy
coworker said. We sat in the parking lot talking. He
was trying to call his wife and let her know
he was there. Do I owe his wife a detailed explanation?

Speaker 7 (23:58):
Well, obviously the part she's leaving out in the letter
is it created a major problem. Yeah, Now she's trying
to figure out. Do I owe her an explanation? It
might help him out if you said, listen here that.

(24:18):
But I don't understand this. Dude, though, you set yourself
up for this stupidity. Ain't no male coworker could have
dropped you off. You had a You got in another
woman's car and rode to your wife's job.

dudes to drop him off. You got this woman dropping
you off your wife's job, sitting in the parking lot,
and and other people saw it. You can't be that
stupid man.

Speaker 1 (25:05):

He threw shade at me by saying I looked like

any way, and he got offended.

I was intimate with a guy from my past. We
hooked back up and it just happened. He told my
friend that the sex was cool, but he'd never be
with me because I snore. I think there's a lot
more to it. Does snoring really turn men off like that?

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah? Yeah, he just told you did.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
She didn't want to believe. But you don't know how
bad you snoring that? You really don't. You need to
wake up and you in here till what it's like?

Wow five, This time goes by so fast.

You and Charlemagne did a roundtable discussion, and I'm sure

This year, you've been training on social media.

Speaker 9 (31:16):
The commenters gave you a lot of respect as the
og of man's fashion.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Do you enjoy you? You like that?

Speaker 7 (31:22):
How do you?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
How are we feeling that?

Speaker 7 (31:25):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
There was.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
What's happening?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
He brought up some curtains made super fly, the mom.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
I'm your daddy on somewe me, I'm your friend.

Speaker 9 (31:50):
Your team, you were get in love the major love
man you.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
It was.

Speaker 7 (31:58):
First of all, the speech was great with Charlemagne because
I read respect for him. Yeah, you know, he brought
up a story that I had forgotten when he first
came to by Wretch years ago before I had this
my other Wretch.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
He was going to release his.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
First book and he said the title of the book
was like f you something something.

Speaker 10 (32:22):
F you.

Speaker 7 (32:24):
Okay, yeah, he told me this. We was riding on
the Polaris and I looked off and then I said,
what's your name book? And he said it again. I said, no, man,
We're not no man, we're nothing to do. We're not
doing that. And he told the story how I talked
to him out the name of the book, and then
the book made the New York Times Bestselling this because

(32:44):
I just had to talk to I know, I know you, Mad,
I know you, and I know you.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Want to say this, but listen to me.

Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah but yeah but you know yeah yeah yeah, yeah
yeah yeah. So we had a good, good conversation.

Speaker 13 (33:02):
Jules guys dropping knowledge at the investment.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, from from two perspectives, you know, like
he's younger than me, so but he still knew that
who we were in radio. But people can't do what
we used to do because too many eyeballs.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
You know, I took it.

Speaker 7 (33:21):
I took my perspective and just said, hey, listen, man,
because of the revolution of technology and social media.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I was famous before phone camera, so I was all
of that.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
But now, man, you can't make a mistake. And I
just asked the culture. I said, I can't control the
culture because I'm too old. I said, in a in
a in a, I'm a year and a half away
from being seventy. And then I stopped and said, look,
I know, I know you can.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I know you can't. I know what you're thinking.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
Him creator what Yeah, anyway, And I asked them to
start taking better care of each other because as a culture,
we are the only ones who destroy each other the
way we do online. Nobody else goes after each other
like we do. And if they can get that part
of the culture together, we could be so much greater

(34:20):
because we have the power to make each other great,
but we use that power to take each other down.
I've never seen anything like what we do to one
another on social media, and I ask them to just
be mindful of it.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
And they are these this is the culture that can
change that.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I can't change.

Speaker 7 (34:40):
Anybody gonna listen to me. I ain't gonna post enough,
but they will listen to you. All who are the
current culture drivers. I'm on the other end of the culture.
I get a lot of respect when I go places.
That's Steve, that's the OG, that's O g Man. He
he dropped, he been in the game.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
You the blueprint.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
I got all of that, thank you very much. But
who can currently change your culture now to young people today?
And you all have got to start. And I tried
to tell them, I said, listen, podcasts are dangerous. I said, y'all,
everybody don't need a podcast because what's happening now is
because you don't have the constraints that we have on
regular radio of F and C. You all get on

(35:24):
these podcasts and think, because you're on the podcast, it's
a new form of freedom. But that podcast affects your brand. Yes,
you are still a part of your brand. Whether you're
on somebody's podcast or you got a podcast, it will
affect your regular life. Saying Charlemagne tried to give me

(35:45):
say some crazy mess yesterday. You go with that podcast
mass but.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
You say crazy stuff but you anyway, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, my problem is surely and call it. I can't. Oh,
I be willing to say plenty of stuff.

Speaker 13 (36:05):
No, no, not that, but that goes to what you're
saying about your brand and people rooting for you, and
people are actually wanting you to win.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I think when you tease about Shirley and I saying,
you know you can't say that.

Speaker 13 (36:19):
You can't do that because we don't want to see
you your brand canceled or destroyed.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Over right.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
We're not those people that work for you to say, yeah,
say that, Yeah, you do what you want. No, no, no, no,
we know it's a cancel culture.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
They know that. No, I an't hear you too much.
Yeah that these two bird dogs right here, they play
bird dogs. You know that that dog you go out
and spot them birds hunting.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I don't like it. I kind of just sit there.

Speaker 7 (36:52):
And point, and all of a sudden the bird flying,
then you shoot it. They go out there and see
all that trouble and go no no, not because we'll
discuss something like on a commercial break and I say, well,
I come back, I'm gonna say this, and there go.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
No no no, all right, all right, all right.

Speaker 9 (37:13):
Coming up at twenty minutes after the hour, ICE had
seen an increase in job applicants over the past two weeks.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement that is ICE. ICE has received
over one hundred thousand applications to join its ranks in

their recruitment campaign. The Defend the Homeland campaign has relaxed
the age limits and now accepts applicants as young as

(38:22):

set them run up on the wrong person. They ain't
going back today, not today.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
It's going to happen, not today.

Speaker 7 (39:05):
But you know, this is all a part of Project
twenty twenty five. This is also part of the whole
Make America Great Again. I don't know why we don't
understand what Make America Great Again actually represented it. It
was to take this country back to a time where
it was more comfortable for a certain type of people
to live here. They had gotten extremely uncomfortable with the

(39:28):
way they were having to live, slowly becoming a minority,
things of that nature, feeling it as though too much
was going on that they had no control over. The
Make America Great Again campaign is designed to get America
back to a point where they were in more of control.
So look Let's get rid of black history in schools.

(39:53):
Let's stop stop teaching that blacks made a contribution to
this country. Let's stop that so we can stop having
to feel what we did. We want to forget what
was done. That will never be reparations. We can stop
asking for that. They're not gonna give us money. They

(40:13):
won't even let you have your own history. How they
gonna give you some money. The Make America Great Again
campaign is designed to make a certain group of people
the Magabase feel comfortable, but it is extended beyond the magabase.
It is extended into the Republican Party in terms of

(40:34):
senators and congressmen. They are so in fear of Donald
Trump that they be into his will on everything. Everything
he wants to pass. They will pass.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Everything, and there no one is standing up to him,
no one. It is a party.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
I'm talking about the representatives, not the people who call
themselves Republicans. I'm talking about the representatives are cowards. I'm
okay with you being a Republican. That doesn't bother me.
It's the representatives that you have that don't even represent
what you stand for anymore.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yep, all right, all right?

Speaker 9 (41:12):
Uh coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour,
we will switch gears.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Sister Odell will be in the building right after this.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
You never know, it could be yours. Yeah, could be.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for
you here. It is Strawberry letter.

Speaker 9 (55:32):
Subject they want equal treatment. They're Stephen Shirley. I'm in
my late forties and my sister in law is my
best friend. My brother is cheating on her and she
found out from their six year old son. I was
keeping their son, and we went to visit my mother,
his grandmother. Well, my stupid brother had his girlfriend over
there having a fish fry in the backyard. My mother

(55:54):
was in the house mad as heck, but my dad
was outside with them because the woman has a really
nice boy.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
My nephew didn't see the woman.

Speaker 9 (56:02):
But my mother was so upset that she unleashed a
rant and the boy heard it from the other room.
He could not wait to tell his mom, and she
called me and lit into me about it. I told
her that I was clueless, and she didn't believe me.
My brother blames me for bringing his son over to
our parents home. My brother ended up moving in with

(56:23):
my parents temporarily and continued to date this side chick
even though he was trying to work things out with
his wife. I am stuck in the middle because he
has me counseling the side chick, begging her to be
patient while he figures out how to leave his wife.
He's not leaving his wife, and I want to tell
his side chick that, but that would be even messier.

(56:44):
The side chicks want the side chick wants equal treatment
as his wife.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
His wife wants it all.

Speaker 9 (56:50):
If he wants to go back home, she wants a
new ring and a recommitment ceremony with a big, fancy honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
The side chick said, if she's going to stay.

Speaker 9 (56:59):
With him, wants a commitment ring and a big vacation
to a romantic island to prove he's all hers. I
told him he's in way too deep and he needs
to get his affairs in order. I've been living with
this guilt for almost a year. My therapist said I
should come clean and be honest with both women. Should
I do this to my brother?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Okay? No, no, don't do this to your brother, okay,
but you.

Speaker 9 (57:25):
Got to look at what it's doing to you, and
way more importantly, you can't do this to yourself.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
You just can't.

Speaker 9 (57:32):
You got to get out of the middle of this.
This is a mess, and this has nothing to do
with you. You're not cheating on anyone. You innocently took
your nephew to see his grandparents, and now you're getting
it from all sides. Your brother's mad at you, your
bestie's mad at you, and the side chick even has
something to say, and she shouldn't have anything to say about.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Any of this.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
It's amazing to me, though, that a six year old, a.

Speaker 9 (57:56):
Six year old little boy and wait to tell his
mom about the side chick. I mean, he must be
really advanced, because when we were kids, you know, we
constantly heard the phrase stay out of grown folks us.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
But his mom probably put him up to it. I
don't know.

Speaker 9 (58:14):
Listen, you've got to start blaming yourself in all of
this and stop letting your brother punk you, and his
side chick and his wife, your bestie, they're all using you.
You got to stand up for yourself, tell them all
to kiss your behind.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
You could have.

Speaker 9 (58:29):
You had a choice, kiss your behind, tell them to
work it out, and tell them to leave it, leave
you out of it.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
You can tell one, You could tell them one of
those or all of those.

Speaker 9 (58:38):
All it is is misplaced anger on the wife's part
and trying to place blame on the brother's part, and
trying to get something out of it on the side
chicks part. I mean, your brother's manage you, yet he's
the one cheating. Your best friend is managed you, although
it's her husband that's a fault here. I mean, I
think you should get you some business immediately, because clearly

(58:59):
you have none because you're in this. You gotta stop
feeling guilty and thinking you cause this and get on
with your life. I mean, you've been going through this
for a whole year now, feeling guilty. You're the one
that needs to get away. They need to all pay
for your trip, not them. They don't need to go anywhere.
And as far as your therapist goes, fire him. Whichever'

(59:20):
the one that gave you this bad advice about coming clean.

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Steve excellent response. I think what you said is spot on.
I agree one thousand percent with everything you said. I
can't really add nothing to this except a very unique
perspective because there are.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Some lives being told any and that's where I come in.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
I love it. Now.

Speaker 7 (59:50):
This woman that wrote the letters is writing because she's
stuck in the middle. Obviously, I'm in my late parties
and my sister in law is my best friend.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Okay, there you go.

Speaker 7 (01:00:03):
My brother's cheating on her, and she found out from
their six year old son.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
So the aunt was keeping her nephew.

Speaker 7 (01:00:11):
Which is a six year old went by to visit
her mother with her nephew, which is the mother's grandson.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Your dumb brother.

Speaker 7 (01:00:25):
Had his girlfriend over his mom and daddy house, having
a fish fry in the backyard. My mother was in
the house mad as heck, as most women would be,
but my dad was outside with him because the woman had.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
A really nice body. I don't know if that's the beast.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
I think the daddy was out there because for her,
the daddy was just being the daddy. See the problem
in this letter is now you say your nephew didn't
see the woman, but your mother was upset and was written,
and the boy overheard in the other room and he
couldn't wait to go tell his mom and She called
me and lit into you about it, and I told

(01:01:13):
her you was clueless, and she didn't believe me.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Well, why would you take the boy, the nephew over to.

Speaker 7 (01:01:21):
Your mother's house if you knew your brother was over
there with another woman. That's no way you would have
done that. Because you're a nice aunt. You wouldn't have
done that to the boy. But your dumb brother over there.
You know what the problem with your brother is, He
got too much support for his BS.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
That's what's wrong. And when we come back, I'll explain it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
All right.

Speaker 9 (01:01:44):
We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at
twenty three minutes after the hour.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 9 (01:01:50):
Subject of today's Strawberry letter. They want equal treatment. We'll

Speaker 9 (01:02:35):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter
and finish up with your response the subjects they want
equal treatment.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Yeah, you know, this is kind of crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:02:46):
This woman got a brother that's cheating, and she was
keeping the brother's son who is her nephews. Her best
friend is her brother's wife, which is her sister in law.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Go over to the house.

Speaker 7 (01:03:01):
Her brother got a chick over there having a fish
fry in the mamma and daddy backyard.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
That's ignorant to begin with.

Speaker 7 (01:03:07):
Now, the mama in the house mad as heck, But
you say your daddy was outside with him because the
woman got a really nice body. My nephew didn't see
the woman, but your mama was so upset she unleashed
the ranch.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
The little boy heard it. He couldn't wait to go
back home and tell his mama.

Speaker 7 (01:03:24):
Your girlfriend, who is your best friend, the sister in
law to your brother's or brother's wife who was your
sister in law, and your best friend lit into you
because she thought you was in on her. You told
her you was clueless, and she didn't believe me. I
said before, why would you take the boy over to
the house and expose your nephew to some god? But

(01:03:46):
you had no idea. He was over here and you
didn't take the boy in the backyard. You he just
overheard the grandmother talking. So now what didn't happen? Because
it is your brother that ended up moving in with
your parents because he done got put out and he's
continued to date the side chick with the banging body,

(01:04:11):
even though he trying to work things out with his wife.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Now you say you're.

Speaker 7 (01:04:15):
Stuck in the middle because he got you counseling the
side chick, begging her to be patient while he figured out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
How to leave his wife. Then you say he ain't
leaving his wife, And I want to tell the side
chick that, but that would be even messier.

Speaker 7 (01:04:31):
Your brother is the one that's a fault in this
whole thing, first of all, cheating on his wife. Second
of all, he took the side chick to his parents' house,
having a fish fry in the backyard, the daddy out
there supporting the son. And now he got you counseling
the side chick. The best way to do people who

(01:04:52):
bring BS to you is let them lay in.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
They b s get out of the support system business.
You ain't.

Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
Don't ever help nobody do wrong unless you're a man.
Unless you're a man, and this is your boy, it
is our obligation to help you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
Whatever man, different rules.

Speaker 7 (01:05:19):
If because I got news for you, Okay, now here
what okay? Hold on now, let me help you understand this.
If your girl gets in trouble, you gonna help her
because that's your cooling. Now, y'all don't ever talk about
that side of this. But y'all comes to each other's
rescue because.

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
I've heard it. What does that have to do with
the letter nothing?

Speaker 7 (01:05:43):
It's just don't get mad at me when I tell
you that the only way you're supposed to get involved
in this is if y'all was boys. You should stay
out of this because your best friend is your sister
in law. Right, so you definitely shouldn't be counseling the
side check because your brother got everybody involved in his BS.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Now, the side chick wants equal treatment as your wife.
Now listen to this.

Speaker 7 (01:06:11):
His wife won't it all If he wants to go
back home, she want a new ring and a recommitment
ceremony and a big fancy honeymoon. That ain't just to
show re commitment. She just really wants some stuff. She
didn't want some stuff really, because you're gonna take a

(01:06:32):
man back and do that. Knows this is some themes.
You're considering taking him back because you want him back,
but you want some themes with it. Recommitment, big o' ring,
fancy honeymoon. Yeah, but now here the problem is the
side chick said. If she gonna stay with him, she

(01:06:53):
want a commitment ring, a big vacation to a romantic
hollary to prove that he's all hers. I told him
he in way too deep and to get his a
fans in order. Let me explain to you what's wrong here.
Your brother is telling both women the same thing. That's

(01:07:16):
what's wrong, yep. Because if he was telling them the truth,
both of them would might not be demanding the same thing.
But he's telling both of them, I want to be
with you. Give me a minute to work this out.
Getting the divorce's difficult. Give me a minute. I'm working
this out. I gotta get this chick out my life.

(01:07:38):
She tripping this with or nothing This wasn't even about her, right, Baby,
I want you because here what Bruh can't do. He
don't have the money for an apartment. That's why he'd
have had to move back in with his mom and daddy.
Ain't no way in the hell. He got two rings
and he can go on two vacations.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
A honeymoon and a romantic getaway.

Speaker 7 (01:08:02):
So as soon as y'all quit supporting this BS, it's
gonna all come to a head.

Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:08:08):
You say you've been living with this guilt almost a year.
That's because he got too much help. Your therapist says,
I should come clean and be honest with both women.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Your therapist is a woman.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Because the man would never say that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Ain't no way.

Speaker 7 (01:08:25):
The only way a man would say that if he
wanted to sleep with you. Your therapist is a woman. Yeah,
and this ain't the time for that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Yeah, all right?

Me and my cousin Chris Jingen played dominoes. He won
six games. I want folk so that that's what happened
with boys. Yeah you care this sports girl?

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (01:10:03):
Lie Jordan was outside with some friends. They played horse
and I brought I lowered the gold down because you
know they eighth grade. I lowered to go down, so
they were dunking. One little boys got his hand cut
on the rim when he was dunking.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Jordan won.

Speaker 8 (01:10:18):
Okay, that was out there playing the horse. Any sports
you want to throw anything I got playing sports for
you went.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:10:22):
I was fishing the other day and uh, I lost
two good ones, two good ones and the worst sports.
I couldn't believe it. Man, I saw it too, that
bad boy had rolled. I said, boy, this is a
nice one right here. Had to wait on it, you know,
and lost that at the bank. Then I caught three
in a row, and then I lost another one because

(01:10:45):
when I set the hook, I snatched. And Shirley is
snoring me because that's you, because you don't want to
know what something like that call it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Don't do that what.

Speaker 8 (01:10:59):
Sports?

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
This is sports? We don't.

Speaker 7 (01:11:02):
We don't care if y'all know what we're talking about.
Y'all don't know. Y'all don't know football basketball nowhere, so
we surely don't.

Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
In this past weekend preseason, I.

Speaker 8 (01:11:15):
Tell you, I'm gonna tell you that right now. I
played golf. Listen, if you're playing golf, use an orange
or a lime green ball so you can find your ball.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
If you're not a good player. These are things that
you need.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
To I think the Bengals beat the Commanders. I think
they did, and then the Browns beat the Eagles in preseason,
which means absolutely nothing. Dan and Gabriel, who got his start,
was playing pretty well. Then he threw a pick six
last week?

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
What were y'all doing? Sports?

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Sports?

Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
I went fishing again yesterday and Nord it was hot
as hell, so you do.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
It's fish.

Speaker 7 (01:12:01):
But I got a new google aw straw hat that
has a big wide band on it, and I thought
it was pretty flashy till I went over on the
other side of the ranch and saw these workings and
all of them had the same head on.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
So you got mad.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Yeah, now I might looking like a worker. I thought.

Speaker 8 (01:12:20):
They got a new black hockey playoff. I forgot his
name though, but that's something y'all should know about it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
You're hurry back here. Junior Boo coming up at the
top of the hour. Thank you guys. As an adult,
when should you move out of your parents' house? That
is the question.

Speaker 9 (01:12:42):
When you're in Jay and Roanoke. We'll get into it
right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
All right, Steve, So this is from Jay in Roanoke.
Jay says, I'm almost thirty and I lived with my parents.
My dad has a problem with me moving out, and

(01:13:02):
he also has a problem with my boyfriend staying with me.
When he comes to town. My boyfriend has to get
a hotel room. So it's a waste of money because
we have two extra guest rooms. My boyfriend said, my
dad is controlling and he wants me to get my
own place. I'm comfortable with my living arrangements, but my
boyfriend is getting tired of it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
What do you suggest I do well.

Speaker 7 (01:13:26):
First of all, your father and his house makes the
rules period. He's uncomfortable with you moving out now you're thirty,
that you have an overprotected dad. Thirty, you should have
been gone unless you're in a certain culture where a
woman stays at the father's house until she marries. If

(01:13:47):
you're in a certain culture, then that's you're gonna have
to do that. Secondly, don't nobody give it what your
boyfriend thinks that your father is controlling because he can
see his way out the dough Because before your boyfriend
showed up, your father was holding it down.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
For you and your family the entire time.

Speaker 7 (01:14:08):
So your boyfriend is ignorant for trying to say that
your father is controlling because he doesn't have a daughter yet,
so he can't possibly know what your father feels. So
now if he has to come and get a hotel,
if that's an expense he can't afford, then he can't
come visit. And your father has a rule that nobody

(01:14:31):
can come and sleep in his house unless you're married
to my daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
And I'm pretty sure that's the rule.

Speaker 7 (01:14:39):
So now, yeah, I'm not mad at that. Yeah, so
you can get off the dad and you should have
been gone technically.

Speaker 9 (01:14:50):
Because she's thirty, but you know, a lot of thirty
for a lot of living with their parents. Now that's
too much of it.

Speaker 8 (01:14:58):
But I think man gives a little bit more leeway
to his daughter than his absolutely for you mean.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
As far as staying at home at home, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
A little bit more.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Lee.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
My youngest son is twenty eight. He can't he's not
coming to my house.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
So when did you have to leave it?

Speaker 10 (01:15:15):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Eighteen? When you turned eighteen?

Speaker 7 (01:15:17):
I left, seventeen, left I went to college when I
was seventeen. He told me work it out because that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
That's what you had to do.

Speaker 8 (01:15:26):
I think you realized after you come home a summer
after being in college. Have you come home a summer
and spend it with at your parents' house and your
daddy back in your in your face, saying you ain't
gonna be coming up in here, no middle, that's straight
right now. Once you once you hear that enough, you're like, okay,
I gotta get my host.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
And you're about that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Last weekend, I stayed out all night. I ain't even
making home.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Well this weekend, that's not going to happen in this house.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Not at this house.

Speaker 8 (01:15:59):
This is no no.

Speaker 7 (01:16:02):
When I flocked out of college, I had to stay
at home for six months when I flunked out of college.
But I got a job immediately for a motor company.
As soon as I had saved four checks, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Out, Oh okay, all right, comfortable in the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
No no no, he just said, the time you just
start lifting for something.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
That makes you uncomfortable. Yeah, your digs are number so you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
As soon as I got.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
My first check, I had to give my mom and
daddy one hundred and twenty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
All right, A lot of words do that.

Speaker 8 (01:16:39):
And don't touch that last piece of chicken on the
stove that belonged to your dad.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
I don't. But he had deals at our house because
it was his house, his work.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Wow, it's it is different now though.

Speaker 7 (01:16:58):
Walk in the house and he said, fan just he
had a one of them fans that turn you just
have it on him in the heat of the summer,
you know that the fan that oscillates, you know, go
round the room, deeppress stop, it's just everybody else sitting
over to him and my mama coan the rest of us,

(01:17:19):
everybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Without with our mouth open, panting like a doll.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Coming up.

Speaker 9 (01:17:29):
At twenty minutes after the hour, we'll have more of
the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Right after this.

Speaker 9 (01:17:36):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. So guys,
this might inspire you to take a few more golfing lessons.
A couple of weeks ago, champion golfer Scottie Scheffler won
the BMW Golf Tournament and he won a whopping at
three point six million dollars. Now his caddy, Yeah, that's

(01:17:58):
a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
His cat.

Speaker 9 (01:18:00):
He took home three hundred and sixty thousand dollars and
a new Rolex is part of his prize package. I'd
say that's pretty good for a day's work. So does
that excite you to maybe take a golf in a
day's shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
That's about photos, not a day. It's more than that.

Speaker 7 (01:18:16):
The caddies get there on Sunday before the tournament to
walk the course, we guide it, map it out. They
got to map it because everything got to go in
that little book. They can't use range finder, so he
got to mark all stuff. Then he got to walk
all the greens and know the modulations and everything. All
that stuff is in a book. And caddies get ten
percent of the purse when you win.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Yeah, so that's why he got three hundred and sixty
thousand dollars.

Speaker 7 (01:18:41):
And yeah, he come in a couple of days early
to get a practice round on the golf course. But
and then for all of that, he's weigh a lot
of money.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:18:52):
Does it make you want to be a better golfer?
Take more lessons and step up your golfing game?

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
No, I'm not going to wear a quarter.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
You're fitter, you can try all you want. You're not
finna win a professional golf tournament. You're shooting under par.
If I get a birdie, birdie, celebrate.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
All right, Well, congratulations to Scottie Scheffler and his caddy.

and it's been a great day. This has been a
fun day crazy. Thank you guys for listening. We appreciate
your business for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:24:17):
Steve Hey, here's my closing remarks today. I want to
remind everybody of something that's really important.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
You have got to take a chance. Period.

Speaker 7 (01:24:33):
You have got to take risk. You have got to
put it on the line. You have got to step
out on faith. You cannot stand there and play it
safe your entire life. You cannot win playing safe. You

(01:25:00):
have got to step up to the plate and run
the risk of striking out. You've got to line up
on your mark and run the risk of getting beat
you have got to take a chance. Life has value
when it has chances in it. I know some people
who have played it safe their entire life. I went

(01:25:23):
to school with them. I know some people right now, man,
who stayed on the job that they did not enjoy,
to retire from it and now to be seeking part
time work because they can't make it on one third
of what they were already struggling on, because that's their
retirement pension. All because and he told me, hey man,

(01:25:48):
I just took the safe route. I wanted to be safe.
Oh man, I cannot tell you, man, the value in
taking a chance. Now, here's why most people don't take chances.
It is the fear of failure that freezes people to
take chances. Well, here's a problem with that. Fear is

(01:26:10):
the number one cause of failure because if you don't
attempt it, it cannot happen. And in the failed attempt,
in the never attempting, you have conceded yourself to defeat.
You gotta take chances, man, It's okay. And don't worry
about what the haters saying. Then they sayers they always

(01:26:31):
got something to say. Anyway, Well, you started that business.
How I see that didn't work out for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you did. You started a business, it didn't work out,
it failed. But now guess what you know something? You
know something that they don't know. You know two things.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
You learned a valuable lesson of how to make a
business more successful because you failed at one. And secondly,
you know what it feels like to valiantly try. The
average person don't even know that.

Speaker 10 (01:27:02):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:27:03):
I paraphrase this saying for a long time now, but
it's and I paraphrase it this way because it helps me.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
When I say it this way, the.

Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred with dust, blood, sweat and tears,
not to those cold, intimid souls in the stands who
know neither victory nor defeat. And it's kind of what
I heard Denzel online the other day talking about people.
It's too much talking nowadays. People just talking. People got opinions,

(01:27:33):
Those who do do, those who can't don't. It's just
people just talking. Man, but have never made an attempt.
I would rather have attempted to be great than to
set there and settle for mediocrity. I promise you I will.
I will take the attempt to be great every single time.

(01:27:55):
Because here's the deal. If you aim for the moon
and you miss, you can still be amongst the stars.
But if you never shoot the shot, guess what that
bullet remains in your gun? You've hit nothing. How many
people do you know who are miserable right now in

(01:28:15):
their life, who have a go to a job that
they don't care for. And I'm not saying you have
to start a business to be successful, That's not what
I'm saying. But you should be doing what you were
born to do. You should make an attempt at living
in your gift before you leave this world.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
You have got to try. Listen.

Speaker 7 (01:28:35):
I know that all you can do for tomorrow is plan, hope,
and aspire, but you know what the goal is to
see tomorrow. So when tomorrow gets here, what have you
done to aspire to accomplish to make your tomorrow better?
Give us this day, this is the Lord's prayer. Now

(01:28:58):
give us this day our daily bread.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
Do you know what that means?

Speaker 7 (01:29:02):
You're asking God to help you aller your steps and
do the things necessary today to make your day go well.
But understand something, everything you do today will have an effect.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
On your tomorrow. If you do nothing today, what do
you think tomorrow has for you?

Speaker 7 (01:29:22):
You know, it's so many ways people take these sayings
and they use it to their advantage to justify some mediocracy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
The Bible says faith without works is dead. You know
what that means.

Speaker 7 (01:29:35):
That means you can have all the faith in the world.
I believe God can do this. I believe one day
I'll have this. I expire to become that. But if
you don't put no work behind it today, yo, tomorrow
ain't gonna have what you've been hoping for. You can
put all the faith in it you want to. If
you ain't gonna apply no work, man what you want,

(01:29:56):
but imply work. You gotta take a chance. You gotta
take ri You have got to take risks.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Y'all. Life is valuable with risk.

Speaker 7 (01:30:05):
There's learning, there's an experience gained in risk, but then
there's also the possibility that you will win and that
is worth the risk. All right, those are my closing
remarks today. Hope you got something from it. I hope
I touched somebody. If I didn't tune in tomorrow, God
Willie might have something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
For you then.

Speaker 7 (01:30:25):
But here's the big thing. Please talk to God today.
He would absolutely love to hear from me. And it
don't matter how long it's been. Start your relationship with God.
Have a conversation with He's avaluable.
