Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody you're listening
to the voice, come on, dig me now, one and
only Steve Harvey, Man oh Man, got a radio show,
got a good one for you today. And it just
happened to me. You know, I was going through something

(00:22):
that I've been going through for a long long time
and just weary of it all. And I've been talking
to God about it, and I mean for years. Though.
What happened was I had to go through some more
of it yesterday again a situation. But you know what,
after it was over, you know, I kind of laid
in it for a little while. You know how you've

(00:43):
been going through something for so long and then even
if it's over or appears to be over, you still
kind of lay in it a little bit, and you know,
you have a while. Man, I can't believe I've been
dealing with this this long, even though even though it's over.
I don't know how you do it, but this was
for me. Have you ever counted, Steve Harvey, how many

(01:04):
times you made it? And so that's what I started
doing yesterday, and that's what I did this morning. When
I woke up. I was actually taking an inventory account
of how many times I made it? How many times, man,
I didn't have the rent and somehow I came up
with it. How many times I didn't have my house
payment and somehow I came up with it. How many

(01:28):
times I was out of money, did not have enough,
didn't see no way, but somehow I came up with it.
How many times I got sick, thought, well, man, this
one right here. I don't know what I'm gonna do,
but somehow I got my health back. How many situations
I have found myself in? That was I thought at

(01:50):
the time, detrimental and diabolical and man so sinister at times.
Somehow I made it. I look at all the accidents
I've been in, but he kept me. I made it.
I think about even the simplest times of like stepping
off a curve and almost got hit, but I made it.

(02:11):
I was just tripping the other day. I was thinking
about the times that I've been hit by a car
and it could have been worse, but it wasn't, And
I made it through that too. I was thinking about, man,
when they count you out, do you know how many
times I've been counted out? He's done, he ain't gonna
be nothing, he ain't nobody see what I told y'all,

(02:33):
look at over that they counsel this. He offered that
he out of here. He ain't gonna make it. He
didne got fired. Man. You know how many times I've
been counted out? You know how many times they done
wrote me off? How many times have you been written off? Man?
But here you still stand? Yeah, you have a tripped
on it. Take an inventory, y'all of how many times?

(02:54):
Count the times you've made it? What about the times man,
when nobody was there to encourage you? But you they're
still here though you have tripped on that? Ain't nobody
called you and told you good day? No nobody called
you and told you recently thank you. No one's called
you and told you how much you meant to them,
how much you've done for them? Or man, and you
can make it. Never give up. Keep your head up, man,

(03:15):
keep grinding. But you still here even when nobody. Have
you counted the times man that you made it? Anyway?
Have you counted the times that you felt like quitting,
you felt like giving up, you kept going? How about
the time this is a good one right here? How
about the times man, when everybody's standing around saying ain't

(03:36):
no way, ain't no way. Man. I can't tell how
many times I've heard this, ain't no way, and then
somehow there is a way. You know why, because he
make a way. You understand. You know how many times
I've heard this one? Right here, Steve, listen to me, man,
nobody ever before has done that. You can't do that.

(03:57):
How many times you done hurt? No you or you
know anybody that done that. You can't do that. No
one has ever done that. I made it anyway? You know,
they don't normally or we don't normally allow this, but
in this case for you, we gonna make an exception.

(04:21):
How many times have you heard that, Oh, I think
I'm onto something? How many times have you heard in
your lifetime? We don't normally or they don't normally allow this,
but we gonna make this exception in your case. How
many times you done heard that? Have you ever counted

(04:42):
the times that you made it? Everybody out except me?
How can that be? You know you're the only one
that got through this. Congratulations? Wow, man, I don't hardly
see this too many times, But do you realize that
normally this is what happened to people but man, y'all,

(05:04):
I don't know how your name came up, but here
you are. Wow, it never happens like that. You ever
counted those times I was doing it yesterday? I was
doing it this morning. I was just taking an inventory,
everybody of how many times I've made it. So what
I learned yesterday was when God gets you through something,

(05:25):
when he pulled you out on the other side, no
matter how difficult or how long it took. When He
gets you out on the other side, why don't you
get up, dust yourself off, and start trying what you
laying that for? Man wallowing in it, going over it,
recycling it in your mind. So many people can't move

(05:46):
forward because we keep recycling stuff in our mind when
clearly it's time to move on. It's time to let go.
It's time to go and see what God has for you.
Stop looking at what you lost.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
What you lost was probably not yours to have in
the first oh.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
In the first place. Do you know the things I've lost?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Now?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not talking about losing a loved one, a mother
or father, nothing like that. I'm talking about innate objects,
a situation. Do you know the things I've lost? Man?
I look back on it. I wasn't supposed to have
them in the first place, or they was doing me
no good. I wasn't wasn't mine to lose, but I
claimed I lost it. Come on, man, take an inventory, everybody.
Start looking at the things man, that God has brought

(06:42):
you through. Start looking at how many times He allowed
you to make it, and get glad about waking up
in the morning. Man, Get glad about your life. Start
feeling something positive about your situation. You cannot expect God
to continue to bless you if you're not grateful for
the things that you have. Why would God sitting down
here looking at you, upset, angry, laying in the wall

(07:07):
of what you are not grateful for? You just can't
find the scene and find no gratitude in your heart
about nothing, but you steady asking God for something. So
now you think God is crazy. You think he gonna
give you some more stuff to not be grateful for.
Are you kidding me? Why would he do that. He's
too full of too much mercy to send you through that.

(07:28):
Over and over and over. The more I give my child,
the more ungrateful they are, the less gratitude they show.
But I'm gonna keep dumping it on them so they
can keep feeling ungrateful and then show like a gratitude.
God's not gonna do that to you. Come on, man,
have you ever counted how many times you made it?

(07:49):
I can't count how many times God done got me
through something. But when He gets you through it, you
ain't get up and get on about your business. Don't
lay that in it. It's over, it's done, you made it.
Let's go, let's go.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, bodybuilders, people that ain't built, nobodies,
bodies that want to get built, bodies that used to
be built. Anybody, somebody, everybody. That's what I'm talking to.

(08:33):
Whoever you are. If you can hear me, you're blessed
and how they favored that's a fact. Know that. Let's
start right there. Just why don't you just go with
that right there?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
All that what you ain't got, what you wish you had,
what you ain't got to accomplish yet, got all that?
What about what you do have this current moment right
now that a lot of people weren't able to partake here,
but you work. That's a Blessing, Steve Harvey, Morton Show,
Shirty Strawberry, College for Real, Mississippi, Monica Junior and the

(09:03):
Legend of Nephew Tommy Jr.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
What's What's what's on your mind today?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Man?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I gotta ask you a question.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
You know your success and everything that you are today,
when you made the decision did you make this? How
did you know you made the right decision for your life?
How did you know that you was gonna get in
the com How did you know that?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well? I'm not really sure that it was knowing more
so than it was a belief. It was a hope.
What is it saying that faith is the.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Substance hope for and the evidence of things not seen.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Faith is the substance of things hope for see. At first,
faith starts off as a hope. It starts off at
the hope, it develops into faith and and it becomes
the evidence of things not seen. Faith is evidence of

(10:06):
stuff you can't see it, and just all of a sudden,
it just starts happening and it becomes evidence but you
ain't see it. So I don't really know that I
started off knowing as I was more just hoping because
I had tried so many things prior to this. I
sold insurance. I sold Amway products, I sold Shackley products.

(10:31):
I sold the Bohemian Dick Gregory diet. I sold Al
Williams insurance. I sold barbeque. I had a carpet cleaning company,
a carpet installation company, a carpet sales company. But it
wasn't because I wasn't trying. But I knew on October eighth,

(10:58):
nineteen eighty five, when I won that fifty dollars, kind
of like a light bulb went off.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I knew this was it for me. Well, well, let
me put it to you this way. This was all
I could think of at that point. I had tried
everything else, So having won the fifty dollars was like
a big moment for me.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
It was just like a light bulb went off. It
turned out to be the correct decision. Matter of fact,
after I jumped, I had some serious concerns about this jump.
I had to because my parachute didn't open at all.
By the grace of God, August of Wind got up
under that parachute and lifted me, and then after that

(11:38):
man the rest of its history. Forty years later, here I.

Speaker 6 (11:40):

was having drinks with three of her male coworker friends.
Her boyfriend came in with a male friend of his,
saw her and just walked out. She said, you could

jealous by walking out. Yeah, because he know what's up.

He got here on vacations with an ex boyfriend. You're hurting.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Moving on from trying to move on.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Before boarding commercial flights, you are advised, you know, not
to bring lithium batteries onto the plane and your carry
on bags.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
And here is why, guys.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Last week, on a flight headed to Seoul, South Korea,
a lithium battery in the overhead compartment burst into flames
mid air about forty five minutes into the flight. Smoking
flames began pouring from the lithium battery packed in a
passenger's carry on bag, and witnesses say they heard a
loud pop before the flames erupted, filling the cabin with

(31:34):
thick smoke. Flight attendants raced down the aisle with fire extinguishers,
urging passengers to stay seated. The plane made an emergency
landing in Shanghai. Fortunately, very fortunately.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
No one was hurt in this incident. So no lithium batteries.
It's the moral of that story. And you carry it
all right.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Finally, tell you one thing. Everybody else there was trying
to put that fire out though.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Oh yeah, that's scary. That's scary very much. So yeah,
come here in the air.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
And finally, the next time you consider whether or not
to attend someone's funeral and think they won't know if
I'm there or not, well you need to think again.
A seventy four year old man in India recently faked
his death and staged a mock funeral.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yes, he just.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Wanted to see who would attend his funeral. I mean,
people were stunned to learn that the man had died.
Little did they know he staged the entire thing with
a fake death certificate and a fake funeral announcement. The
man's friends and family were shocked at his fake funeral
when he suddenly sat up in his coffin. What that's

(32:52):
how you know it was about.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's how you get killed though, So you can't do
stuff like that. You can't do That's how you know
it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
That's how you know that. That's right.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
They began would have been the end of report. They
began what.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
They became outraged. Once they outraged, outrage, they became out.

Speaker 13 (33:16):
Up.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, no, no, we out ain't no outrage outside.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Yeah, we have left the building for sure, discussing. Yeah,
they realized it was all fake.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
The man explained to them that he just wanted to
see how much respect and affection he would get. Meanwhile,
authorities are deciding whether or not any laws were broken.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
You can't say, well, I'll tell you one thing. I
hope you enjoyed that one, because that second one ain't. Nobody.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Nobody's gonna come empty house. That's crazy. They sat up
and did what though, smile, high sting, thank you all

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Go Shirley. A little extra.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
That was like coming in hot.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Okay, right right, thanks Carla.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
Subject, get somewhere and sit down, okay, Stephen Shirley. I'm
a sixty year old single mother. My son is thirty
two and he has been a single father since his
first wife passed away four years ago. My granddaughter is
fourteen years old and she's with me during the week
and she goes back to her dad's house on the weekend.

(55:14):
My son has started back dating and he wants to
be married again. He says he doesn't function well as
a single man. I have nothing to do with his
love life, but I have everything to do with how
his daughter is raised, and I don't think he should
be introducing her to all kinds of women while she's
still in the grieving process. This new girl he's dating

(55:36):
is very simplistic and materialistic. She's got her own money,
so she's not asking for anything from my son. But
it's the way she carries herself that is on my nerves.
She and I don't see eye to eye on a
lot of things. She has a sixteen year old daughter
that she leaves alone overnight to go play house with
our son. Her daughter has a brand new car and

(55:59):
she lets her run with her friends all over town.
The only time my granddaughter has quality time with her
with her dad is on the weekends, and this new
woman is always around and in the way. My granddaughter
sees through her and gets irritated when this woman plays
rap music and knows all the lyrics.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
She feels like the.

Speaker 6 (56:19):
Woman is trying too hard. She's visited at my house
with my son and runs around waiting on my son
hand and foot, and I had to tell her to
get somewhere and sit down. I have never seen a
woman try so hard, and her intentions may be good,
but she has to.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
Fall back a bit.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
I think my son is falling for her representative and
not the real woman. How can I get him to
pump the breaks? Okay, grandmother, your intentions might be right,
but you need to fall back a little bit. I mean,
I agree your son doesn't need to introduce her daughter
or his daughter, I should say to a lot of

(56:56):
random women, because grief is a process and it takes time.
And although it has been four years, grief is different
for everyone. And your granddaughter his daughter is only fourteen,
so that means her mother passed when she was just
ten years old. So let her have a moment. Okay,
she's obviously still working through some things in her young life. Now,

(57:20):
your son wants to remarry, you said, but he's got
to make sure his daughter is good, and he has
to make sure this woman is a good fit for
their family. His daughter needs him, Yes she has you, grandmother,
thank god, But daddy has to learn how to divide
his time and make his time count and make quality
time between his new girlfriend and his daughter, who again

(57:43):
is only fourteen. Is this new woman even trying to
connect with the daughter?

Speaker 4 (57:48):
Is she doing that?

Speaker 6 (57:49):
Is she ready to take on the role of stepmom
mom or is she just concentrating on being with the dad.
It doesn't sound like she is according to your letter.
It sounds like according to you, she's only interested in
your son and not his daughter. But again, all you
can do is talk.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
To your son.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
You can try to reason with him and make suggestions
on how he should handle this very delicate situation. You
can't go in too hard against this woman because your
son does like her and he's considering marriage. He wants
to remarry, and it sounds like it might she might
be the one. So he needs your non emotional voice
of reason right now. That might make a difference in

(58:31):
the woman he chooses to be with, and if it's her,
you know, just be reasonable, talk to him, don't be
all emotional talking about the woman and all that, because again,
he likes her.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Steve, Well, get somewhere and sit down.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
This is a letter about a mother that doesn't like
the choice of women her son is making.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
That's all this letter is about. Now it's masked with
a lot of other stuff, and I will point this
out to you as we go along. First of all,
I'm a sixty year old single mother. But I didn't
know that was a turn. I thought that when your

(59:14):
son is thirty two and you sick, I think you
can stop saying that at one point. It's like when
the baby is thirty eight months old. Come on, now,
we need some years. We got we got to quit
doing months now, you know, we got to stop doing
you know, you know I'm eleven weeks pregnant. That's good.

(59:37):
At one point you got to be seven months, you know,
we just it's just a conversion. So I'm confused with that.
I'm a sixty year old single mother referring to yourself
as a single mother, meaning that you have to raise
a child on your own. That's what being a single
parent on mother representation to me. It's just my O.

(01:00:01):
She may be single and a mother, that's cool, but
don't use that because the boy thirty two.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
I didn't know you even be stuck on that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Hey, like you gotta take us to soccer practice.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
You got to come up with field trip money and
you're just struggling with it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
So what should she have said?

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
Just a sixty year old single woman.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
My son is thirty two, that's all. Don't try to
draw us in with the I'm a sixty year old
single mother to draw like, oh wow, how long she
been doing? That's all right, here we go. She said that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
We'll have part two.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
You can see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
A minute, we'll have part two of team's response.

Speaker 6 (01:00:43):
Because he's just stuck on the first line on the
strawberry letter.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Can't get off of it. It's gonna take just come
tell tale the rest of the left.

Speaker 6 (01:00:52):
All right, we'll have part two of your response coming
up Steve at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's
title is one that's hoose to my heart of this
strawberry letter. Get somewhere and sit down. We'll get back
into it with Steve's response right after this.

Speaker 13 (01:01:07):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (01:01:15):
Hey everyone, quick health question. Even though you're still thriving,
still loving, still connecting, did you know your immune system
weakens with age. That's where vaccines come in. They help
train and strengthen your immune response to fight off certain
respiratory illnesses like flu, new Macaco, pneumonia, RSV, and COVID
nineteen this fall, ask your doctor which vaccines you need

(01:01:37):
and visit vaxsist dot com that's vaexsist dot com to
schedule one or more of vaccines sponsored by Pfizer. Come on,
Steve Let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject get somewhere
and sit down.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Well, this sixty year old single mother. That didn't have
to mention that to us, because when you single mother,
I'm thinking of your raising children on your own. Her
boy is thirty two, so that's a term I disagree with.
My son is thirty two and he's been a single
father since his first wife passed away four years ago.

(01:02:13):
Very important. My granddaughter's fourteen, and she's with me during
the week and she goes back to her dad's house
on the weekend. My son has started back dating and
he wants to be married again. He says he doesn't
function well as a single man. I have nothing to
do with his love life. This is not true, because
you do. I have nothing to do with his love life.

(01:02:34):
But the rest of his letter is all about his
love life. But I have everything to do with how
his daughter is raised, and I don't think he should
be introducing her to all kinds of women while she's
still in the grieving process. Now, I understand that statement
that this woman is making, and I understand that the

(01:02:54):
little girl is still dealing with it even after four years,
because it's something you almost never get over. I understand that.
But this man has been grieving for four years too,
but he's ready to move forward. He should be allowed
to date. Now, you made a statement that I don't
think he should be introducing her to all kinds of

(01:03:16):
women while she's still in the grieving process. But that
ain't what this letter is about. You immediately go This
new girl he's dating is very simplistic and materialistic. Excuse me,
make up your mind, mama. She's either simplistic or materialistic.
Simplistic means very simple things are essentials, doesn't care about

(01:03:43):
extra Materialistic is the direct opposite. So I'm not really
sure you even know what you're talking about. She's got
her own money, okay, so she's not asking for anything
from my son. So what you're saying is this woman
brings plenty to the table outside of being what could
be a very good woman, But it's the way she

(01:04:06):
carries herself that gets on my nerves. You just said
in the letter that you don't you don't want to
get into your son's love life is none of your business.
Just raising the daughter is. But now I don't like
the way the way she carries herself gets on my nerves.
She and I don't see eye to eye on a
lot of things. She has a sixteen year old daughter

(01:04:29):
that she leaves alone overnight to go play house with
my son. Sixteen year olds can stay home by theyself.
Sixteen year olds can stay home. Technology now makes it
where a sixteen year old can stay home by theyself.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
I did it when we didn't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Tell Yeah, I had to stay home and big and
I tell you what, here was the rule. When I
get back this house better be just like I left it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
That's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Her daughter has a brand new car and she lets
her run wild with her friends all over time. Does
she really or does the girl just have a brand
new car and can drive to visit her.

Speaker 10 (01:05:10):
Girl?

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Ain't no reputation or nothing. You letting her run? That's
not what it is. The Only time my granddaughter has
quality time with her dad is on the weekends, and
this new woman is always around and in the way.
Excuse me, but this man's every weekend can't be for
his daughter. I'm sorry, that's not y'all can say that

(01:05:31):
if you want to, but don't nobody do that. The
girl is fourteen. She probably has friends, has a life
on her own FaceTime, probably got a phone. All this here,
I got news for you. Once they reach that teenage years,
they don't really want to be sitting around yo.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
At that month, they really don't.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
They visit.

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Yes, they have their own friends they have.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
The new woman is always around and in the way.
My granddaughter sees through her and gets irritated when this
woman plays rap music and knows all the lyrics. Well,
you can't know the lyrics unless you know the lyrics.
You know, they're in their thirties, that's all. She grew
up on hip hop.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Yeah, she feels like the woman is trying too hard.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Yeah, it's called effort. She's visited at my house with
my sons and runs around waiting on my son head
and foot, and I had to tell her to go
somewhere and sit down. Okay, So now the woman caters
to your son. You don't like that. She got her
own money. You don't like that. Okay, she's simplistic, you

(01:06:38):
don't like that. And she materialistic, you don't like that.
And now she come over to your house running around
waiting on your son, and you don't like that. I
have never seen a woman try so hard, and her
intentions may be good. I think her intentions are just fine.
And if you don't want her to try hard, what
you want her to do. But she had to fall

(01:07:00):
back a bit. And I think my son is falling
for her representative and not the real woman. Well, time
will tell you because the representative k stay fail. How
can I get him to pump the break? Well, let's
start with you need the pump to break. Yeah, your
son wants to be married. Let him figure it out.

(01:07:23):
Every weekend, k B for the kids, her sixteen year
old can stay home alone. And you're wrong because you
don't even really know this woman. And that's why YO
is a sixty year old single mother. That's exactly why
this is a sixty year old single mother.

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
Post your comments have Steve on Today's Strawberry Letter at
Steve BARBFM on Instagram and Facebook and check out the
Strawberry Letter podcast on demand. Coming up next, it is
Junior and Sports Talk. Right after this. Hey, this is
Mary Ja.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
What's up? Yarns is?

Speaker 4 (01:08:01):
Let us see what I've thought.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
It's your boy's a big snoop dog and you're listening
to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
It is you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
This is Shirley's Strawberry and I'm partnering with the lead.
Let me tell you it couldn't have come at a
better time. I'm ove some furniture around last weekend in
my new place. It turns out that was a really
bad idea because all that bending and lifting and pretending
I'm still twenty five didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Agree with my knees though.

Speaker 6 (01:08:29):
I grabbed a lead because when my body pain shows up,
I need something that lasts. With just one pill. A
lead lasts up to twelve hours. Don't let those aches
and pains hold you back from doing what's important to you.
Use as directed.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
It is time now for Junior and Sports Talk. What
you got Junior, Well, Shirley, guess who's back.

Speaker 5 (01:08:48):
Michael Jordan is back with the NBA on NBC.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
I don't know if y'all saw it last week.

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
With tomorrow he's gonna have another installment. Well, Michael George
is talking basketball. He said you wanted to give back
to basketball. Here's a question, and don't do you really
want Michael Jordan talking about you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
Because he the greatest basketball player ever? Is't that? Can
he really? Is he really gonna be impressed with the
NBA today?

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Good question?

Speaker 10 (01:09:13):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Good question? Because you know load management is big in
the NBA now.

Speaker 5 (01:09:18):
You know, everybody's playing all eighty two games like he
had to play all eighty two games.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
You know, Mike didn't take no time off. But it's
a different game now, it's a different athlete, it's a
different mindset. And I just think that hearing from the
old school cats lends perspective to what's going on now.
And a lot of times these young guys don't want
to hear from the old heads. It's people that think

(01:09:44):
that that Charles Barkley wasn't nothing when what my god, man,
it's it's young cats now that don't get it. Barkley
don't get it. It's it's it's players who have said
they would have abused Larry Bird they don't know the

(01:10:05):
abuse that they would have suffered going up against this man.
So you know, it's it's sort of weird. It's almost
like this little comedy thing between Eddie and Kevin. You know,
you gotta you gotta respect the legends in the game.
I mean absolutely, you just got to give him that
respect because I don't care what we do. We ain't

(01:10:29):
finna do what Eddie did.

Speaker 4 (01:10:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
God, that's one talent brother right there. And you know
I love both of them. I just think it got
got that spoken out of turn. If you don't know
what I'm talking about. It was, you know, Kevin had
made a Eddie had made a comment that comedy is
different now Kevin Hart is but is good. But all

(01:11:01):
that screaming ain't comedy on stage, you know, it's cardio.
And Kevin snapped back with, hey man, you from the
eighties U on VHS taps, relaxed, Grandpa, it's different now, blah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Blah blah blah blah, you know, tapes and all this hit.
And I just thanking god it because I love both
of them, kat and and Kevin has an incredible work ethic.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
But let me tell you something though, Eddie Murphy off
limits when it comes to this comedy thing. If you
really understand who this dude.

Speaker 11 (01:11:34):
Was and is.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
Yeah, he picked with somebody else.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:11:43):
Coming up at the top of the hour, steved wife
wants her husband to stop watching porn all over the house.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
We'll get into that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
You gotta pick a spot, though. You can't just be
in the living room.

Speaker 6 (01:11:56):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. This is
from Angie and Laurel. Angie says, my husband loves watching
explicit movies and I've warned him about where he watches them.
Our ten year old son was apparently sneaking around and
saw snippets of one of his dad's movies, and he

(01:12:17):
went to school and told his friends about it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
This is embarrassing to me as.

Speaker 6 (01:12:22):
A mom, but my husband said, it's part of our
sons growing up.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
Is it really? Is that how we should let our
son learn about sex?

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Not at ten? Not at ten? You out of bounce, partner,
and you know this, and you see you can't. Here's
a deal.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
There's levels, mental levels to life where you are capable
at certain stages in life of handling certain information. When
you expose a person too early to information that he
can't possibly know, the total ramification, constant squences of in actions.
You're doing a disservice to him because now he got

(01:13:05):
some stuff going on in his head. Don't even really
need to be there now because of the Internet. You know,
we can't protect our children like we used to. They
gonna see all this stuff. But if you're not sitting
down having real conversations with your kids, you can get
ready for them to make some decisions that you ain't
gonna be privy to and you're not gonna agree with it.

(01:13:27):
But that's ignorant.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
Though to say that about your ten year old son,
that's completely ignorant.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
All right, moving on, Steve, we have time for another one.
This is from.

Speaker 6 (01:13:36):
Julian in Saint Louis. Julian says, I'm dating a woman
with a foul mouth. She uses profanity all the time
and calls her friends bees. She called my best friend's
wife the bee word, and his wife corrected her and
said she doesn't talk to her friends like that. Now
my girlfriend has beef with this woman over nothing. How

(01:13:57):
do I get my girlfriend to see how offensive she is?

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
You need a new girlfriend, though, for real, dog, this
this is your girlfriend. She created beef everywhere, she got
a foul mouth. How are you going to introduce her
to your mama? Shouldn't take.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
You?

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
Say it over there? Now? I know she doing some
things to you that you know I know, and they're
talking to you crazy. I know all that's crazy. Now
that's good in the bedroom. But we just we're on
our way to church right now.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
What are you doing, lady?

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Can you back this down before we get to the
dough to the lord's house.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
That's funny?

Speaker 6 (01:14:53):
Yeah, alright, so he did. He didn't ask should he
should he dump her or break up with her? He said,
how do I get my girlfriend to see how offensive
she is?

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
I mean, why would I want to date an offensive girlfriend? Right? Yeah? Yeah, bruh,
you can't make a better choice.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
Yeah you can't.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
You can't find a woman that has manners? I think
you can. Yeah, I'm not.

Well, guys, in case you were on the fence about
going on a cruise, this is your sign to go
for it now. According to Triple A, close to twenty
two million Americans will go on a cruise next year.
That's twenty twenty six. This is a five percent increase
in the last year, and industry experts say the interest
in sailing is fueled by new ships with over the

(01:17:14):
top amenities and a growing appetite for all inclusive floating vacations.
The majority of passengers are fifty five and older and
have mostly chosen to do a Caribbean cruise. You go
on an all inclusive cruise on one of the nights
new cruise ships with five star amenities.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
See if you love being on a ship.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Well, week last time we did one, we went to
Disney and I stayed in the VIP cabins and it
was lovely, and they had five star restaurant on there
that you could only eat at once a week. I
changed that because every night, Hell, I'm heave you sit
up here, eat at the five star restaurant one time.

(01:17:58):
Give other people a chance. Man, dang what this is?
And so I went and I enjoyed it. But see,
I've only done it at that level with VIP suites
and stuff like that, so I don't know what it
is for to get the regular inside cabin. But this way,

(01:18:18):
you know you're not gonna be in your room anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:18:20):

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
They've been writing with us, Steve for a long time years,
a long time, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Kind of leads me to my closing remarks too, because
it has been a long time, and anybody who has
been a fan of mine for any length of time,
I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
But you've seen the change.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
I can't tell you how many times people say, Steve,
I've seen the change in you over the years, because
it has been a change, and most of it was intentional.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
And one of the things I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
Probably most proud of is that I do not have
a fear of reinventing myself.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
I'm always looking for way to do something different. You know,
I'm gonna have to take a little credit here because
when it comes to comedians on radio, I started that
trend back in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
On one seven five WGCI. I was a comedian on
the radio. I remember this guy, David Kenton, who ran
the Tom Joyner Morning Show, and I used to sit
in for Doug Banks in the afternoons.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
On radio just to promote my comedy shows.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Well, I was doing such a good job they asked
me to sit in for Doug Banks often, and I
just go up to Chicago.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
So finally Tom Joyner left WGC. I had to do
something else. Tom Johner was considered the fly job. Tom
Joyner was the greatest DJ on planet Earth. Him and
Donnie Simpson were the two greatest DJs on planet and
Frederick Frankie Crockett up in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
These dudes was the legends. And then there was a
boy on V one O three Ken, Uh what's Ken's name?

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
Old dude with the dusties, O Herb kN Herb kent
Herb kN Yeah, yeah, oh man. Them boys right there
schooled me. But anyway, uh, they offered me morning Drive
in Chicago, and I went up there and it writ

(01:25:41):
really really well. David Cantor said, he's just a comedian.
We will mop the floor with him. Well, I created
this thing called the Top ten and the flow mopping
began and it wasn't me that was getting mopped. I

(01:26:02):
had a mop and I was up there doing some
things in Chicago. One thing led to another, something happened,
and then I went to Los Angeles and I got
on radio full time, and that launched comedians on radio
after me. They went and got Sinbad. They went and

(01:26:26):
got George pez Lopez, they went and got our Tyro Shelter.
They wentn't got my boy, George Wilburn out of Chicago.
They went and got George Wallace, They got everybody because
they thought, well, since comedians work on radio, would just

(01:26:48):
plug a comedian in. But they didn't know that. I
understood one thing about radio that nobody else understood. That
radio was theater of the mind. And I changed the
way it was done. And I just have to take
a little bit of credit for that. But I thank
God for that, because he gave me the fearlessness to

(01:27:09):
not be afraid to reinvent yourself. When I did radio
in Los Angeles, my boy Big Boy, who he and
ore super cool now Big Boy stated there's no way
he'll come to LA and beat me. The Steve Harvey
Morning Show on one hundred point three to Beat with
Shirley Strawberry became the number one radio show in Los Angeles.

(01:27:32):
Me and Big Boy became really cool friends after that.
Big Boys one of the great radio giants in the
business today. So when I mentioned radio giants, you gotta
say big Boy. Big Boy out there in the La Boy,
he's a monster, still still doing the thing now, one
of the great radio guys. But then in two thousand

(01:27:55):
and five, somebody told me that they will get riddle
me out of radio and I'll never rise again, and
I will personally see to it. And I know who
it was, but I ain't got to say no names.
But that didn't work either, because you are not the
architect and author of my life. That power I have

(01:28:18):
only given to God Almighty. And if God say I'm
a rise, there's nothing you could do about it. So
now here I am, twenty years later, syndicated.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
The badest adult contemporary radio show on planet Earth. So
much for you gonna get rid of me, So much
for you ain't gonna rise no more. So much for
being the first black host of Miss Universe. So much
for being one of the.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
Top black game show hosts that has lasted over seventeen years.
So much for being the second Blue black Mail with
a full time talk show. What's the dude that was
on first, Montel Montelli, Montell Williams. I came out the

(01:29:13):
second black. It's just been so many things that I've done,
but because it was the lack of fear of reinventing myself,
and I thank God for making me feels. I thank
God for giving me longevity, because if it wasn't for

(01:29:34):
God's grace and mercy all this credit that I'm taking
for myself, it wouldn't even exist. So let me stop
give credit where credit is due. I appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (01:29:45):
Lord.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
Hey, y'all talk to God today. He'd absolutely love here.
