and only Steve.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Harley 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. I mean, what happens to all of

(02:30):
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 it's going to pan out. Because I

(02:51):
want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul,
has those thoughts about something at 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

(03:11):
things don't 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

(03:32):
part of 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

(03:54):
belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes,
set back 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
o man or man discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal

(04:18):
with because it seems at times when you are discouraged
that 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

(04:39):
was a test, that's all it is. But the majority
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

(05:01):
that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And
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

(05:23):
you lay down and give up, it's God's will that
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 served, That's not the God
I've read about. That's not the God I believe in.

(05:43):
I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something
that he didn't bring me this far.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
To leave me. I just don't believe that, not for
a second.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
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,
come on, So when discouragement comes, try to look at

(06:17):
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
know how long the test period is. Your job is
to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith

(06:38):
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
be over in two weeks, it could be over in
a month.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
You don't know.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
But all you got to do is wake up and
keep the faith and fight the discouraging feel And how
do you do that?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Steve? Now here we go.

Speaker 7 (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.
What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I
think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task,

(07:23):
I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be like,
if I were to complete the task, what would it
be like?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Man?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
What would the outcome be for me if I hung
loan in there? If I didn't give.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
Up, If I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit.
I imagine if I don't give up, what would it
be like? Man, Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true.
But if I don't quit and give up, that might
just be the case. I start talking to myself like that,

(08:00):
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 that connects
in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm
gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the

(08:20):
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, And
then I go, where can this lead to? If I
stay with it, man, and the outcome comes true? What

(08:42):
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 4 (08:53):
Man?

Speaker 7 (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 2 (09:18):
Man.

Speaker 7 (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 2 (09:50):
What could really be out there for me?

Speaker 8 (09:52):
Man?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
If I just pass this test, you gotta talk yourself
into hanging in there.

Speaker 9 (22:21):
That's all coming up at the top of the hour.
But right now it is time to ask the CLO.
Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey in the building. This
is from Sonya. Ready, CLO absolutely, This is from Sonya
and Raleigh. Sonia writes, when I talk on the phone,
my husband is all up in my conversation and when

(22:42):
I whisper, he gets offended. He had the nerve to
ask me if I was talking about him yesterday, and
I said, yes, yes I was. Why is he so
concerned about what I'm talking about?

Speaker 7 (22:55):
Well, if you're talking about him, he gonna be concerned. Listen,
just say the first time you've talked about he's overheard
some other stuff. He heard some stuff and when yeah,
is he.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Just knows he or is he just concerned what she's
talking about?

Speaker 7 (23:11):
It now here hustling because he'll find out some stuff.
He's overheard some stuff he didn't know about his son.
He made me so sick, she said, he.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
And all e com said, oh really, it's going down
like that. So yeah, yeah, it's all all right, there's
nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Okay, moving on to friends, You.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Got a cellphone? Walk off?

Speaker 9 (23:38):
Okay, yeah, well she said she whispers and stuff. But anyway,
moving on to friends in Jersey City. Friend says, I'm
married and my wife and I have two kids. I
also have a grown daughter from a previous relationship, and
she needs a place to live. My wife doesn't want
her at the house, and it is putting me in

(23:58):
an awkward position.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
What do I tell my daughter?

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Wow, why don't you just help her get a place
to live? Yeah, why don't you get back?

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Okay, that's your only solution now if you can't afford
to do that, when you had to go to your wife,
your wife don't want her here because that's another relationship
and she has to be reminded of what you did
in the past, even even if you did it before
you met her, even if this was a relationship before
you even knew your wife. She just don't want it

(24:31):
up in the house. She may not be comfortable with
the girl. That depends on how old the girl is.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, you know, he didn't say, He just said she
was grown. I have a grown well she grown.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
You know, they might not have a good relationship, and
then you can't expect me. You can't put your wife
out like that. Now, I understand you. I've been in
one of them situations similar to that too, where the
grown kid wanted something.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
And my wife didn't. Yeah, the white blowed.

Speaker 9 (25:02):
I just want to say that, all right, all right, friends.
Moving on to Evelyn in Savannah. Evelyn says, my boyfriend
and I are celebrating twenty years of dating and his
family is not celebrating with us because they're all so
called Christians that think we should be married. Why are

(25:24):
they being judgmental and trying to ruin our special celebration
twenty years of dating?

Speaker 2 (25:30):
We're so special about it?

Speaker 1 (25:31):

and had sex in the bathroom of a club with
a random guy. I ran into him the other day
and he was happy to see me, but I barely
remembered him. He asked me to go out. Does he
want a date or just sex? Well, come on, carve

Look and be quiet.

Speaker 9 (30:25):
Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have
some entertainment news for you right after this.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
You're listening Hardy Morning show.

Speaker 9 (30:37):
Well, guys, for the first time in history, in the
history of reality shows, we saw a mother, Jackie Christie,
swing on her daughter on camera. This was on last
week's episode of Basketball Wives. I don't know if you
guys saw this.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
There's been a.

Speaker 9 (30:53):
Very shaky relationship between Jackie Christy and her children. Jackie
is a wife of legendary NBA player Doug Christie. Jackie
and Doug's daughter, Chantelle is on the show now and
Chantelle's main storyline is trying to make amends with her
Mom Jackie. The relationship between Jackie and Chantell went from
heated to explosive and turned into a physical altercation in

(31:17):
a hotel room in Hawaii. We could see Chantelle push
Jackie off of her, and then Jackie lunged at her
daughter with closed fists and it looks like she punched Chantell.
Security came in then and pulled the ladies apart. Afterwards,
Jackie called her husband to tell him what happened. And
of course we'll have to tune in to Basketball Wives.

(31:37):
Their season finale is tonight to see how it ends.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I saw mom. Yeah, Chantell had a broken nail. Yeah,
more than daughter.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, they've had a really I know, a whole.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Lot of black men left taste out there teas mouth.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
I'm on camera, off camera in front of people.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
Out in the grocery store at leash kard wish there
was one wait what happened? But at least Carroll hit me,
y'all did y'all wouldn't y'all.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Be come to my rescue?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
There was no outrage, That wasn't nothing. Who was in
the grocery store? But you need to get out of
the show.

Speaker 13 (32:16):
The check out line number three should have did something.
She didn't even take that hit, that's all she did.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Quit the scanning and jump of her.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Help me, help you see me?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, that was a lot.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
It was.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
It was a lot to see them going at it
like that all. You know, for that amount of time,
you need to get off reality TV if you and
your child are on camera.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Low.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yeah, that was too much for the family. It really
is too much. And Jackie has been on the show
for a long time and her daughter just came on
this season.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
I just have a problem with people disrespecting their brothers.
I just have a problem with that.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I mean, you know, mad Yeah, a mother. Look, mothers
aren't perfect people. I get that.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
I get that, but there's a certain amount of grace
that they should be given. Yeah, because they gave you life.
They gave you life, and a lot of these kids
don't even really realize it's sacrifices that their mothers have
made for them to even be in a position to
be they that they in.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
They forget all of that, and that's part of it, Steve.

Speaker 9 (33:29):
With these two ladies, the daughter is complaining that the
mother hasn't been there for her, you know, since childhood
and all that so she's bitter about that. She's hurt
because of that, and it's playing out on camera now.
She came on the show and it just exploded. You know,
we didn't even know all of this.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
It's gonna take a lot to fiction. It's gonna take
a lot to Steve.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
They swinging on your mam and your mama swinging on you.

Speaker 9 (33:59):
It's bad enough with they fight amongst themselves, the women,
and now you've got families going at it.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Well anyway, Yeah, I.

Speaker 13 (34:06):
Just feel like there's way too much thought.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I think we are.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
That's thought tonight.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
When she hit me, y'all didn't do nothing.

Speaker 8 (34:16):

and I was looking at Snickers the next moment.

Speaker 2 (34:21):

Speaker 1 (34:23):
It was so fast, y'all.

Speaker 13 (34:26):
So I cannot understand.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I can't anyth get it to me.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
All Right, we're gonna move on.

her job seriously. Tyler did an interview with Kirk Franklin

his aunt would always call asking him for money, so
he offered her a job and she took it, but
she didn't take the job seriously, Tyler said, quote, she

(34:56):
wouldn't come to work. So I'm like, okay, well you
got to go. You want me to hand you the money,
but you don't want to work for it. See that
doesn't work for me. So Steve, you agree with that?
How Tyler hands on situation with his aunt Tommy get
along with family?

give it to them with no forethought to what it
took for him to have the money.

ain't lying. That means your excuse me, that means you
ain't signing right.

Speaker 11 (50:02):
Really, so the pastor couldn't come to me, but he
but you figured you would just call me and tell
me that your auntie says that I'm doing incorrectly. That
doesn't make sense to me. How does she tell you
that did she sign it to you?

Speaker 10 (50:15):
She signed language to her daughter. Listen, you ain't got
to worry about who she's signing too. What you need
to worry about is getting your getting your stuff together
all right, and learning how to do this the correct
way so that my Aintie can get You know, Miainti
needs to be getting the word like everybody else getting
the word, but she not getting it because you the
word is getting lost in your hands.

All I'm hearing is your voice is getting very loud
and you need to match my tone. Young man. Okay,

my tone? Because you're getting very loud and I can't
hear through all of that. All right, Okay, okay, I
this situation you called my phone? Correct. You have the

(51:00):
problem that you're discusting with me, but you're getting more
angry than anything else. How am I going to resolve
this problem? I am trying to be a course.

Speaker 10 (51:07):
The where you resolved this problem is carryos back to
science school so you can learn what you need to
so my Anie can get the word. Mine Ainty can't
get the gospel because you messing it up.

Speaker 11 (51:17):
God anointed me to do style language at that church,
and I've been doing it for a long time and
I will continue to do so. So don't call my
phone telling me that I'm not doing something right?

Speaker 3 (51:28):

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Muggle up and hold on tight. We got it for
you here. It is a Strawberry letter.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Thank you, nephews. Subject my ungrateful young employee. Dear Stephen Shirley.

Speaker 9 (57:27):
I'm a relatively successful entrepreneur and I have had a
lot of help along the way. I believe in returning
the favor and helping other minorities advance any way I can.
To that end, About a year ago, I hired a
twenty six year old black female that graduated at the
top of her class. I set her up with an
excellent starting salary and her own office. I noticed she

(57:48):
was not much of a team player and worked better alone,
and that was fine with me because she was very
smart and didn't need a lot of directions at times.

Speaker 1 (57:57):
I noticed that.

Speaker 9 (58:00):
She lacks the emotional intelligence that is required in business,
and it was hard for her to keep her game
face on when she got flustered. Despite that, she's one
of my best employees, so I added her to a
global teams meeting that we have had weekly. I've impressed
with how much she's advanced in one year, and so
is the team. On the video call, one of our

(58:22):
biggest investors acknowledged her as the newest member and congratulated
her for being the youngest person to ever join the team. Surprisingly,
she replied, I appreciate that, but I've been doing way
more than I was hired to do, and I'd like
to discuss an increase in salary and a promotion. The
call got quiet, and everyone looked uneasy. She's been with

(58:45):
me for one year and she was awarded the highest
entry level salary of anyone. I broke the silence by
telling her that we'd have to discuss that later. I
was appalled at her attitude and I would love to
get her viewpoints on this? Do I allow of you
points I would love to get. I'm sorry, I would
love to get your viewpoints on this. Do I allow
her to grow with my company or turn my focus

(59:06):
to one of my male interns that always has a
great attitude and is willing to learn. Please advise, this
is not personal, right, this is business. You said yourself.
She's smart, she graduated at the top of her class,
she's one of your best people at the job.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
How is she ungrateful?

Speaker 9 (59:27):
Can you not afford to give her a raise? I
know you said you were relatively successful. I mean, but
can you not afford to give her one? If she's
deserving and a promotion that she asked for?

Speaker 13 (59:37):
Is that it?

Speaker 9 (59:38):
If it is, I think you should say that because
I say, let her be great and don't get mad
because she believes she deserves a raise.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
I mean, she is who she is.

Speaker 9 (59:49):
Her timing might be a bit off because you're judging
how long she's been at the company and what you've
done for her already, meaning you gave her a big
entry level starting to salary. But it sounds to me
like she understands her value and her worth to this company,
and she wants to be compensated for it. I'm not
sure why you're so upset that she wants a raise.

(01:00:11):
I think you said she's a valuable employee. You said
that throughout the letter. She's young and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Hungry, she wants to get paid.

Speaker 9 (01:00:18):
You can talk to her and tell her this shouldn't
have been discussed at that time if you like. But
I like her confidence, I like her boldness, I like
her fearlessness. Every company I think needs people like this.
I think you should celebrate her, Like you said, get
her viewpoint, get well, you said, get our viewpoints on this.
But see where her head is too on this situation.

(01:00:39):
Why she picked that moment to say it? You know,
but I don't think there's a law against asking for
a raise. And the alarming thing in the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Letters that you said, should you turn your focus.

Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
On your mail interns that always have a great attitude
and are willing to learn.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
What does that have to do with anything?

Speaker 9 (01:00:59):
Are you upset that she a female and she asked
for a raise? I mean, really, what are you really
saying here, Steve? I think she deserves everything she should get.

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
Steve, My question is simple. My ungrateful young employee. Is
this a woman writing the letter or a man?

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I assumed it was a man's but it might be
a woman.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
See I thought it was a man too.

Speaker 7 (01:01:21):
So now let me give you a peek inside the
mind of a man, because if this is a man,
which I thought it was too, something else is going
on here. See I read between the lines. Your successful
entrepreneur had a lot of help. Long a way you
return to favor and all this helping minorities any way

(01:01:41):
you can. About a year ago, you hired a twenty
six year old black female that graduated at the top
of a class. You set up with an excellent starting salary,
her own office. I noticed she was not much of
a team player. Okay, that's usually not good. She worked
better alone, and that was fine with me because she's

(01:02:02):
very smart and didn't need a lot of direction.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Okay, so you let that go at times. And here's
the key to this whole letter.

Speaker 7 (01:02:11):
I noticed that she lacks the emotional intelligence that is
required in business, and it's hard for her to keep
her game face on when she's flustered. Okay, she's young,
but you gave her her own office. You gave her
this grace salary. She twenty six, So what was it?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Dog?

Speaker 7 (01:02:32):
So now you know I'm just watching you now. Despite
all of that, she's one of the best employees. So
you added to her to a global team meeting we
had weekly. She's advanced. You impressed by the advance on
one video called one of our biggest investors, acknowledged her
newest member, congratulated her for being the youngest person ever
joined the team, and then she replied, I appreciate that,

(01:02:56):
but I've been doing way more than I was hired
to do it. I'd like to discuss an increase in
salary and promotion and the problem.

Speaker 9 (01:03:03):
Call hang on Part two of your responses coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's subject my
ungrateful young employee. We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Hey, it's your girl,

(01:03:23):
Shirley Strawberry. You know, mornings just aren't complete without a
McDonald's breakfast. Have you heard about the new spicy sausage
McMuffin with egg It's got a creamy red pepper heat. Hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
I've got to try that.

Speaker 9 (01:03:37):
I'm thinking it would hit just right with my morning coffee,
and there's nothing like that rush of making it to
McDonald's in time for breakfast. Swing by and make your
morning at McDonald's Morning Bada Da Da da at participating
restaurants for a limited time only. All right, Come on, Steve,
let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject my ungrateful young employee.

Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
So last a woman who wrote the letter that we
just learned this on the commercial break from people who
pull the Strawberry letter. So it's a woman, which don't
change much. You hide this black female. You've been a
successful entpreneur. You try to give back the minority to
help her move along. You hide his sister, twenty six
year old black female graduate top of her class, You
set up with an excellent starting salary in her own office.

(01:04:19):
Know that she wasn't much of a team player. She
worked better alone and was fine because she's very smart
and don't need a lot of direction.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
That's what you said. But to me, here is again
the whole meat behind this letter.

Speaker 7 (01:04:35):
At times I noticed that she lacks the emotional intelligence
that is required in business, and it's hard for her
to keep her game face on when she gets flushed.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
A typical sign of a young person.

Speaker 7 (01:04:50):
She's young, she young, she don't know the game face,
she lacks the emotional business intelligence. Okay, I got it now.
Despite that, she's one of your best employees. Okay, so
obviously you need some more employees. So I added her
to a global team meeting that we had weekly. You

(01:05:11):
were just impressed with how much she's advanced in one year,
and so is the team. Everybody's impressed with her. But
on the video call, one of your biggest investors acknowledged
her as the newest member and congratulated her for being
the youngest person ever joined the team.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
And this was her response.

Speaker 7 (01:05:28):
You say, surprisingly, I appreciate that, but I've been doing
way more than I was hired to do, and I
like to discuss an increase in salary and the promotion.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Carl got quiet. Everybody looked uneasy.

Speaker 7 (01:05:42):
You know why because this person that lacks the emotional
intelligence that is required in business, and it's hard for
her to keep her game faced on when she flustered.
She flustered and frustrated after year working and now she
let it blurt out on the global team call. That's

(01:06:07):
how you thought it was the best way to get
a raise. Are you kidding me? You put everybody on
the phone call uneasy. She has been with me for
one year and she was awarded at the highest entry level.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Salary of anyone.

Speaker 7 (01:06:25):
And then you broke the silence by telling her that
we'd have to discuss that later. And you know why
you had to tell her because then you say I
was appalled at her attitude. Well why you surprised? You
said that she lacks the emotional intelligence that is required
in business, and it's hard for her to teep her

(01:06:47):
game face on when she gets flustered. She got flustered,
she cracked. She figured, now I'm asked for a raise
right after these compliments on.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
The global team. That's stupid.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
See this lack of emotional intelligence and business is how
you make business. Because what I've learned in business is
not always the smartest people. It's the best people to
work with. She don't work well with others. She works
best by herself. You know, I can't have this crazy

(01:07:22):
person talking in big meetings for me because they don't
work well with others. And then she blew it. Now
she says, I would love to get your viewpoint on this.
Do I allow her to grow with my company, or
turn my focus to one of my male interns that's
always has a great attitude and willing to learn. I
don't think it's a matter of turning your attention to anybody.

(01:07:43):
I think your determination has to be is this person
worth continuing on with? First of all, I would point
out to her the absurdness and the ridiculousness of you
popping off at a global meeting asking for a raise.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
You're selfish?

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Hey, Steve, I want to ask you a question. When
is a good time to ask for a race?

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
It is when you're not on the global team. Come.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
It doesn't seem like there's ever a good time. That's
my point.

Speaker 7 (01:08:14):
It's any times a good time to ask for a raise.
If you ask for an appointment to see your boss,
you have every right to go and ask for a race.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
I ain't knocking.

Speaker 7 (01:08:22):
I ain't knocking her wanting to raise. I'm knocking the
way she went about doing it. You do that in
corporate America. Shut a meeting for your selfish? Are you stupidole?
But no, wait a minute, are you stupid?

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
And now.

Speaker 7 (01:08:41):
You done threw out this here in front of everybody else? Like,
ain't nobody else.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
At the comedy working hard.

Speaker 7 (01:08:47):
So now you got people looking at you sideways, but
she don't care because she don't work well with others.
Look pull up to the side and say, listen, there
all know Raises. At this point you were given the
highest entry levels and you've only been here for a year.
This is where the company is right now. And I
understand something now, you have to you have to put

(01:09:09):
your time in. Sometimes young people want it all right now. Now,
this woman that built this company, she ain't got no idea,
no idea how long it took to bill. And I'm
gonna tell you from first hand experience what I can't
stand doing. And I've been working in building my company.
You come in because you see me making this. You
want this too? Well, that ain't how to work.

Speaker 13 (01:09:31):
Homie gets paid what they're working.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
No, I don't think that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):

Speaker 9 (01:13:58):
Coming up at the top of the hour, a mom
is upset because her ex's girlfriend is around her kids.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to
the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:14:12):
All right, So this is from Alika in Toronto. And
Melika says, I'm getting the kids ready for school and
ironing out the schedule with my ex husband, who I
normally have a great co parenting relationship with. He's got
a new girlfriend and he told me that she will
be able to pick the kids up this year because
his work schedule changed. That doesn't work for me, And

(01:14:34):
he said, I'm jealous. I don't want a stranger transporting
my children. Am I wrong for how I feel?

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
No, you ain't wrong. You'll know this woman.

Speaker 7 (01:14:44):
He introduced her to you. You don't let people pick
up your kids? What's wrong with him?

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
Man?

Speaker 7 (01:14:51):
You owe this woman. This woman had these children. She
makes that decision, not you, Pardner. Trust me when I
tell you no, she ain't wrong for that. Her kids
them her babies. She manufactured all of them in her body.
She ain't picking up nobody. Drive down there, see what have.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
Pull?

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
You called?

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
And but he immediately went to she's jealous.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
She ain't jealous.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Dog, She's a mother that's right protective of her.

Speaker 7 (01:15:25):
You're you're stupid. You'd never introduced this woman. You didn't
discuss this with your wife. You called your wife and
told her she gonna be picking the kids up from now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
No, she not no, what.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
Not my babies?

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):

on the list? Dog?

Speaker 9 (01:15:47):
Who is she?

Speaker 7 (01:15:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:15:49):
All right, we do have time for another one. This
is from Shiva and Knoxville. She says, I have a
problem with my husband walking around the house with his
hand in his underwear. My son is picking up the
bad habit, and it's just so nasty to me. My
husband does it, and then he touches the remote, and
he touches other stuff without washing that hand that's always

(01:16:12):
in his underwear. He said, it's a habit that he
can't stop.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
Is this habit we all do it?

Speaker 13 (01:16:20):
I was just about to say I didn't see nothing
wrong with it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
We're laying on the couch watching TV.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
We do it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
I don't do that. What, Yes, Steve Junior. I don't
y'all y'all do this. You don't take no baths, y'all.
I'm different. You take your hole yourself. That's another line.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):

it too.

Speaker 9 (01:26:00):
But I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
I can't do it now, can't do it now, not
at this big age.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
Can't do it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
All right, you guys have some questions. See if you're
ready to close this out?

Speaker 10 (01:26:11):
I stay ready, Okay, I got questions, I got I
got some friends that's going through it. So give me
your opinion on two relatives who have just completely fallen out.
And you know, us as other us as relatives looking
at it, watching it unfold, and we see what the

(01:26:33):
problem is.

Speaker 7 (01:26:34):
But you know, you don't want to pick aside. You
don't want to make it look like even though you
know what's right or what's wrong?

Speaker 9 (01:26:39):
What?

Speaker 10 (01:26:39):
What?

Speaker 9 (01:26:40):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
How do you approach it?

Speaker 7 (01:26:41):
Do you leave it alone because it has nothing to
do with you, or do you try to at least
fix two family members that if this don't get fixed,
it's not gonna ever get fixed.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
They gonna You know, I.

Speaker 7 (01:26:51):
Often had to mediate several family disputes, and it's a
cool thing to do. I would get involved because you
know something you usually what happens with these family disputes
is the both of the parties want to be heard
anybody listening, and you've got to get everybody to hear
what the other person is saying.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
And that's and that's what you have to do.

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
So I would get involved to try to get through
because there's three sides to every story. Is your side,
it is day side, and it's the truth. You can
only get to the truth by hearing both sides. But
when people argument, have you ever argued with somebody where
their whole intent.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Is to be right?

Speaker 7 (01:27:35):
That that's a frugal That's that's a frugal argument, man,
That's that's an argument when you're not gonna win, when
a person's whole goal is to be white. I have
this young kid that I mentor, and he messes up
quite often, right, and I try to straighten him out,
And the whole time I'm straightening him out, he telling
me the why he did it. Okay, man, I got

(01:27:57):
why you did it. And then in the why he
did it, it's always why he felt like he should
have did it that way. Okay, cool, I got that too.
But do you understand the consequences of your actions? What
you did has caused this to happen. Yeah, but I
was right when I said this. You know what, man,

(01:28:17):
My father in law said something that I've always remembered.
He said, just because you can do something, don't mean
you should. And do you know how many people may
do stuff because they had the right to do it,
but they shouldn't have did it. We live in a
country that's supposed to be freedom of speech. You're free
to say what you want to say, but should you?
Though all the time the answer is no. Well, I

(01:28:40):
got the right to say what I want to say.
You do, but that don't mean you should. You have
to practice some form of discretion. So when I see
two people arguing and I'm listening to him, I saw
some people arguing on the family feud said one day
we were all sitting around and these two people were
having this argument, and I was sitting there listening, you know,

(01:29:01):
and I said, hey, y'all, can I say something here?
I said, I don't think you all are hearing each other.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
What you said was this?

Speaker 7 (01:29:09):
Now, when they said that, what did you hear? And
the person said something completely different from what they said?
I said, now tell me what you said. And then
the lady said what she said. And then I asked
the other guy, I said, now, what did you hear
her say?

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
This is what she said to me. I said, that's
not what she said.

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
So you got to get people to listen to what
the other person is saying and try to develop some
type of understanding, because if you don't, it'll just go
the wrong way. So to answer your question, if it's family,
I would try to mediate it because sometimes you need
an outside set of eyes and ears to be able

(01:29:46):
to see and hear what each other is saying and
present the case that way.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
But now here's the problem.

Speaker 14 (01:29:52):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
We all know somebody who I don't care what you say,
they gonna stay right over there.

Speaker 7 (01:30:00):
I know some people like that. I don't care what
you say to them, they gonna stay over there. I
don't know if it's because they just stubborn. I don't
know if because they just hell bent on being right.
And I think it's a combination of both things. I
have a family member right now that creates a narrative

(01:30:23):
to justify everything they do. And they sit there with
their partner and they both unify in this narrative to
justify their actions, and everybody else can clearly see it's wrong,
but they done justified it. Well, you can't win like that.
And then Bishop Browner, I tell you, man, that man

(01:30:45):
says something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
He said, be careful of people who are victims in
circumstances that they created. And boy, that's a tough one
right there. And so I know a lot of those
people who are victims. All in circumstance. I had a
God tell me. He said, you ced me out your life.

(01:31:08):
I said, hold up, young brother, do you not remember
telling me that you would never talk to me ever
again without the presence of an attorney. Do you remember
saying that to me. Now you don't turn around and
say I ced you out my life. You told me
you wouldn't talk to me without the presence of an attorney.
So you created this situation.

Speaker 7 (01:31:28):
Now you're the victim, man, miss me, So mediate if
you can but recognize who you're talking too quickly, and
if you're talking to a person that ain't gonna train sway,
they stubborn or they gonna justify all they means, then
you're wasting your time.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Let it be Pray for him and move on. Those
are my closing remarks today.

Speaker 7 (01:31:49):
If you didn't like those closing remarks, we would be
here willingly God's will tomorrow and you might like those.
Have a nice day, y'all talk to God today, he
would absolutely.
