steady complaining about the reason you are, you know, if
I hadn't met this man, if I hadn't have been
involved with this woman, And if I hadn't have had
this baby, if I had never went down there, if
I hadn't have got arrested, if I hadn't this, if

(03:06):
I hadn't it at, if I had a just finished school,
if I had to Hey, hey, hey, hey, stop stop
all that stuff that you're complaining about, everything that you
keep allowing to resonate with you as a reason to
justify and explain you not being successful. Can I share
something with you about all of that? Guess what it is?

(03:30):
You done got past all of it. You didn't have

I got three other kids. Guess what. You still here
and the babies here. You got over all the injustices

(03:51):
that were done to you. You got something happened to
you when you was a kid. You're an adult now.
Somebody did something to you when you was a little boy.
Guess what, man, Now, some things happen to you that
you haven't found closure on. The person that you're looking
for closure from has moved on. Can I tell you

(04:11):
that everything that has happened to you, do you know
you've gotten pasted it? So why are you steady complaining
about what has happened to you that has caused you
to be in this position? But do you understand that
it's prohibiting you from moving forward? Stop complaining today, catch fire,
Let your pass be your past. I've told this to

(04:32):
you one hundred times on this radio, but I'm gonna
say it again. Bishop Jakes told me something man that
helped me so greatly. You can't drive your car if
you gonna keep looking in the rear view mirror. That's
why the windshield is huge. The windshield is huge. The
rearview mirror is this tiny thing that sits up there.

(04:55):
Now all is far. It's so you can see stuff
that's coming up on you. All the rearview mirror for
is so you can assure yourself. Oh, listen to this.
The realview mirror is imp there to assure you that
you've cleared something.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
See.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's what the rearview mirrors for. So when you pass
the can you want to switch lanes, you can glance
up there and it says, okay, you're clear. Now you
passed it. You can switch lanes. That's all the rearview
mirrors for. It ain't for you to stare at and
dictate your life with what you're tripping for. Man, catch
fire today today, Man, quit complaining about everything that did

(05:35):
happened to you. Life is ten percent. What happens to
you is ninety percent. What you do about what happens
to you? What are you going to do about it?
So what I got all this? Look, man, your story
ain't no deeper than nobody else's. I can tell you
I was homeless for three years. It's people been homeless
for thirty years. How long I'm gonna ride that out?

Speaker 9 (05:58):
Man?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know I can't do nothing right now. I fell
on hard times and I lost my place to stay.
Where you staying now? See, the majority of people are
staying somewhere right now. I was out there. I didn't
have nowhere to go. I'm in a shelter. Now. You
was under the bridge a week aldgo you int shelter?

Speaker 10 (06:18):
Now?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Why you still crying about the bridge? You in a
shelter now?

Speaker 9 (06:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know how you find your purpose? You get in
touch with who created you. Because when God made you,
he had a purpose. In mind. Now we've ignored it
and we haven't tapped into it. But we all had
a purpose. You don't, and it's sometimes it takes people
be longing to discover the purpose. Colonel Sanders was frying

(06:48):
chicken with a recipe that he was telling people was
the best chicken in the world. Ain't nobody believe him
till he turned seventy. Why you think the dude that's
on the Kentucky Fried Chicken signs is old. That dude
ain't twenty up there he oh, he oh, But you

(07:08):
know what, he had been frying that chicken for forty
some years. They just found out about it when he
was seventy. But he didn't give up his purpose in life.
This dude was just frying chicken. See, people keep looking
for their gifts in all kinds of places when it's
right there in you. You ain't got to go to

(07:29):
school to find your gift. You're born with the gift
that God got for you. You'll go to school to
tack it on to something else. But your gift was
already given to you.

Speaker 11 (07:40):
You were born with that.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
You don't have to go to college to know your gift.
Your college allows you to enhance it and to find
something to attach it to, and hopefully you get a
degree that attaches your gift to a vehicle where it
can work. The problem with college is we go to
college and we attach it to what we like or
what we might be passionate about. Ignore a gift we have.

(08:01):
You know how many people and graduated from college ain't
doing nothing they went to college for. Come on, man,
you know why because you discover in life your gift.
You discover what you was born to do. I wasn't
bought you know what I mean? You know what my
major was in college? It was advertising. I can't be
at no death, drawing, no picture for nobody. But now
guess what I can wake up every day and guess

(08:22):
what I can tell you? I advertise. I've been advertising
my career. Come see me live. Come see me live
at Madison Square guard Come see me live at Phillips Winga.
Come see me live at Jokers Comedy Club. Come see
me live at Percys, Come see me live at Elisis Taviitt,
Come see me live. I've been advertising the whole time,

(08:43):
but I had a different purpose in mind because I
went and I talked to God and This is how
you do it. You go talk to God and say, hey, God, look, okay,
this is the deal. I've been struggling here. I'm over forty.
I still haven't found my purpose in life. Okay, but
so I can quit wasting any more time. Would you
help direct me and guide me to my purpose? I

(09:06):
know you created me to do something. I just haven't
found what it is. And the reason I haven't found
what it is because I've been doing things my way.
I ain't been checking what you confirm with you on anything.
I ain't locked in. I tried to settle it up
with you. I've been just doing my thing. Well, my
thing has gotten me as far as it can get me.
How about you take over and do your thing now?

(09:28):
Can you direct me in my path? I'm an open book.
Treat me like a piece of clay. I'm telling you, man,
if you go to God, he'll give it to you.
But see you have not because you ask not. How
many times have you asked God for it?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
This ain't no.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Magic trick, y'all. This is the deal. You got to
catch fire today. Catch fire today, I am. I'm excited
about today. I've got a lot to do.

Speaker 1 (09:56):

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Apples and oranges, peaches
and pants, cherries and donuts. Hey, man, you know I
don't know what I said donuts, So let me just
tell you this quick story. I asked somebody for some donuts.
I said, Man, I really am looking for a good
gluten free donut. Well, first of all, there's no such

(10:23):
thing as a good gluten free donut. But they bought
me one that was decent. It was a red velvet donut.
And then they got another one from the same place
and it was a small glazed donut and it had
their multicolored sprinkles on it. I hate their multicolored sprinkles. Oh,

(10:47):
I can't dad that whoa look like? Nah, I look
like some little children's donut. And I just wanted to
say how hurt I was because I wanting a gluten
free donut. And then I want to say shout out
to my driver, Cliff, who I asked for a good
gluten free donut and he bought a white powdered sugar

(11:10):
donut for me, and it was outstanding. It was outstanding.
I got through eating nothing, I said, man, where did
you find that gluten free donut? He said that ain't
gluten free. Welcome to the Steve Arven Marner Show. Huli

homeowners Association. Wanted to reach out and give you a
call today.

Speaker 9 (15:14):
Oh, well, how you doing pretty good.

Speaker 15 (15:17):
Listen, got a few things I kind of wanted to
discuss with you here that seemed to be, uh, a
problem that's taking place in the neighborhood there. It's been
brought to our attention down here at headquarters that you
have a few things on your property that are are
not functioning that really shouldn't be on the property. You
have two cars supposedly in your driveway that are not

(15:40):
being used, been sitting there for quite some time.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
But yeah, well one of them I'm currently working on.
I'm almost I should haven't repaired. I'm just waiting on
get waiting get a little extra money to get it
take care. The other car is just functioned and I
just don't drive. But I have more than one car.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (15:55):
Now, you you also have a a a camper that
seems to be he has been there for at least
eight months now, that's that's sitting there.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Is that correct as well?

Speaker 9 (16:06):
Yeah, yeah, I'm working on getting some storage for that,
but it ain't really been there eight months, just maybe
around about six seven.

Speaker 15 (16:15):
And uh, you know, I'm looking at our past records
and stuff. It seems like there was a complaint before
about the you know, keeping the yard uh pretty cut
and all of that kind of stuff. And I'm just
looking at past complaints that I have here. Now the
biggest one that I have that that's concerning your property, sir,
is uh, supposedly in your backyard.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Now there's a you have an old boat that's in
your backyard.

Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't see that both bothering nobody.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, well, I mean it's it's it's kind of a
sore eye for the people.

Speaker 10 (16:48):
I think.

Speaker 15 (16:49):
I think you guys backyards actually bump up against each other,
and you guys have a chain link fence between the
two of you all, and I think the boat is
must be just a sore eye for the fan that's.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Behind you all.

Speaker 9 (17:01):
Well, you know, I don't see myself getting rid of
that boat, so I gotta cover all that. Everybody else
got a boat, I don't see. What's the problem is.

Well, okay, here's here's what's actually happening, mister Wilson. What's
gonna take place is this. Now we're gonna give you

is dating a married man. She thinks no one knows,
but I see the man's wife and she rolls her
eyes at me all the time. My mama is out
of control and it's embarrassing. Do I let her do
her or do I tell her she's doing way too much?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Now? If the mama is rolling the eyes at you,
where is it that you are all in contact with
all of them? This very much sounds like a church story.
Oh oh, you're thinking, I don't know know where that

Going to trust and Roswell, Trusta writes, my son took
a girl to her prom at her school. He has
a girlfriend at his school and didn't tell her before
he went to the prom with the other girl. His
girlfriend's dad came to talk to me about how I'm
raising my son. I'm doing the best I can, Steve.
How do I stop my son? How do I stop

(24:21):
my son's doggish behavior while he's still young?

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Well, you know, see, First of all, let's clear a
couple of things. Okay, he took another girl to the
prom from another school, and he didn't tell his girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Right right, Why will he tell her? That's what you
got out of that.

Speaker 15 (24:48):
Okay, it makes no sense at all, but we understand
that part. Now, you got caught the.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Man's girls his the boy, his girlfriend's daddy came over
to the house to tell his mama, how you raising
your son? This isn't how she's raising his son, her son.
You can raise your children with the best intentions, the
best advice, the best everything, and they will sometimes do

(25:19):
something that is so outside of what you talked to
that it's unbelievable to you.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, yep.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Now I'm assuming you don't have a husband, which is
because he came over and talked to you. He was
wrong for that, Yes he was. The man was wrong
for that. Yeah, coming up to you like you could
like you could have stopped it. Now, she must have
known he was getting dressed that evening to take another

(25:54):
girl to the prom. So here's the things I've come
up with. Okay, the mama who got visited by the
daddy don't like the girl that he's dating at the school.
You think, I don't think she cares for the daughter,

Apparently, Mary J confided in Jimmy Jam that she did
not have a great first impression of Janet Jackson at
a meet and greet. Well, Jimmy Jam told Mary Jay

Speaker 13 (38:01):
Well this Pats Tuesday, President Trump posted on truth Social quote,
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought
back again.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
End quote from the President. Jesus.

Speaker 13 (38:11):
Yeah, that's wow, And that's pretty much everyone in the
world's response.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
That was their reaction to that.

Speaker 13 (38:20):
President Trump threatened Iran so they can open the strait
of hermas her moves. Iran has agreed to a two
weeks cease fire, and according to the La Times, Pakistan
Prime Minister, whose country is serving as a mediator in
the ceasefire, talks between Iran and the US our scheduled
to resume tomorrow, that's on Friday. According to to US News,

(38:42):
international leaders have called for restraint, fearing widespread violence could
further disrupt global relations, energy, infrastructure, and trade.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
So there you go. Wow, we have a president seriously
man that is unhinged, He is out of control, who
practices he who practices indecency at an alarming level and rate,
who is non stop with the verbiage, that does not

(39:15):
lead to peace, and he's creating a world disturbance. We
are now a laughing stock. And all the Republicans can
go along with the positioning of he's doing what forty
seven other presidents didn't do before him, and it's time
that we trapple this regime before they get a nuclear

(39:35):
warhead and all like this here, hey man, none of
that was the reason why we started this war, and
nobody sat down and thought this thing out. And now
we have a huge problem because they controlled the straits
of Hermos And here's another thing. We don't have plenty
of oil over here. We do need that oil from

(39:57):
over there, because if we didn't need the oil over there,
why would we be concerned about whether the strait was
open or closed. We can't get take it.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
But to say to host a whole civilization you're talking
about you're talking about time.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
He gave a time eight o'clock, eight pm.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
You're talking about a nuclear weapon here.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I was pretty embarrassed by that and heartbroken.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
And the Iraq Iranian people are not our problem. They've
been fighting against this regime for years. It's the regime
that's in control of the Iranian National Army it's that
I a tot of thinking that they want to get
rid of. You're gonna blow them all the way back

(40:51):
to the Stone Age where they belong. We're gonna obliterate
a whole nation of people. That's ninety Are you crazy?

Speaker 1 (40:58):
That was horror.

Speaker 13 (41:01):
I know it made you you stop and go, what
what are we doing? What's happening?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
All right?

Speaker 13 (41:09):
Coming up?

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Wow?

Speaker 13 (41:11):
At thirty four minutes after the hour, We're gonna check
your voicemail Steve at eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve
eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. Right after this, you're
listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. Steve, it's time now to
check your voicemail. Eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. You

(41:31):
can call us, leave a message. You just might hear
your call on the air.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Here we go, Steve. This is from DJ DJ's from Dallas.
He called about South Carolina coach Don Staley and Yukon
coach Gino Arima. That incident it is.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Hey see, I'm just coming on. Well, I'm DJ from Dallas.

Speaker 7 (41:53):
Case, I'm just coming on what Junie.

Speaker 10 (41:55):
Was talking about Dino of Yukon and.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
Donald staviss South Carolina. He acted toward her after the
win to number one, team came together a black woman
and a Caucasian man. Well, I think since this administration
been in here, well, I feel like since this administration
been in here, it's been a problem with.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Black people having success.

Speaker 7 (42:16):
Just look at his stick and the military and how
he's getting rid of all the black generals and don't
want no blacks to go up for higher ranks. They
got a problem with successful black women right now and
black period.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
And that's all I got to state.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Man. Hopefully y'all will play.

Speaker 7 (42:32):
This here because our people need to hear this right
here under this administration, all right.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
That's a true statement. It's a very very true statement.
I mean, if you don't understand that this administration is
not for the people by now, something's wrong with you.
And here's the cold part. This administration ain't for white
people either. I have noom for you. This administration is
for the rich, yeah, and the wealthy. And if you're

(42:58):
not rich or wealthy, they don't care about you.

Speaker 15 (43:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
They masking it by making it about an immigration problem
and these blacks and killing civil rights and killing affirmative
action and killing all this here DEI and all that here.
But they kill a bunch of stuff for themselves too,
but that's not their problem. But I agree with you
one hundred percent. This administration has allowed the bigotry and

(43:24):
the racism to rear his ugly head at an alarming
rate now without a check and balance system to it,
because now they feel as though they have they guy
in the White House, and they do. And if we
don't get out and vote for the midterms, man and
make some changes what it needs to be, it will
go unchecked. And I'm gonna tell you right now, we're
gonna have a hard time surviving three more years of this.

(43:44):
I got news for you. If this is what he's
done in one year, you let this man dig his
heels in for three more years, he's gonna be He's
gonna be such a multi billionare when he leaves office.
Everybody he puts in position is there to do his bidding.
The FBI belongs to him, The Department of Justice belongs

(44:05):
to him, The Attorney General belongs to him, the head
of the military belongs to him. Everybody the education people
belongs to him. The House belongs to him. The Senate
belongs to him, and he's using it to do his bidding,
and because they are cowards, they will stand up and
say nothing. They gonna let this man send they nephews

(44:27):
and nieces off to war. True, they are afraid of
him because he can cost them their position, their power,
and their money. And nothing is more important to them
than those three things. Right there. Yeah, next question, Shirley.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Here we go.

Speaker 13 (44:46):
All right, Steve, you recently mentioned that you're watching the
House of David on Prime.

King Saul.

Speaker 6 (55:40):
Do you ever notice your floora still look dirty even
after you mop. Power mop gives you a deeper clean
you can see and feel, unlike stream mops so for
power Mop absorbs more dirt and locks it away even
and hard to reach places like behind the toilet. The
new micro Scrubbers delivered thousands of IY deep cleaning actions

(56:01):
for results that look, smell, and feel clean. No more
dirty floors. Try the Swift for power Mop. Love it
or your money back.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
We could be reading your.

Speaker 13 (56:30):
Letter live on the air, just like we're going to
read this one right here, right now, and you never
know it could be yours.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
You never know. Buckle up and hold on tight. We
got it for you here. It is a Strawberry letter,
all right.

Speaker 13 (56:44):
Nephew, thank you. Subject my little control freak. Dear Stephen Shirley.
I'm a forty nine year old married man and my
wife is forty five. She's ex military and runs a
tight ship around here. I let her discipline the children
and I get to be the fun and she's cool
with it sometimes, but our teenagers are tired of her

(57:06):
notes and they're all over the house with detailed instructions.
I have to step in and tell her to ease
up a bit, and then I get yelled at. We
have a meal plan for every week, and the kids
still have a set bedtime every night. My wife controls
my life too. We have sex when she wants to
have sex, and we do it the way she wants
to do it. I get ordered around and moved around,

(57:28):
pushed and shoved into positions that make my back hurt,
and she almost pulled my arm out of the socket.
But I never say a word because I don't want
to ruin the moment. It's outside the home where we
have problems. My parents think my children and I need
to do an intervention with my wife. I found out
that my teenage daughter goes to her house to freely

(57:50):
date and she has.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Boys visit her over there.

Speaker 13 (57:54):
I trust my parents' supervision, but it hurts me that
I can't share the experience with my daughter. I don't
think it would go well if I shared this with
my wife, and I honestly don't think she will change
her behavior. I don't want my children to be afraid
of their mom or have bad memories of their childhood.
And I'm torn between a great structured life that my

(58:15):
wife provides and the freedom my teenagers need. Will it
backfire if I try to get my wife to change.
Should I leave it alone for now?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (58:24):
You kind of live a scary life over there. Huh?

Speaker 13 (58:28):
Why have you let your wife terrorize you guys like this?
I get the kids situation. They are teenagers and she
thinks that and a parent should be a disciplinarian with
your children. But you're supposed to be her partner, the
man of the house, and you're not another teenager. Sometimes
you like it, sometimes you don't. But your wife is

(58:49):
no longer in the military. It sounds like she should
even either. Sometimes even give the kids a break. I'll say,
I think that you've given her too much leeway and
she's taking advantage of that. I think she is out
of control and she does need to be reeled in.
But do you think you are the man for the job.
I mean, that's what you have to decide. You have

(59:10):
to be head of household and make some hard decisions here.
So figure out your plan, get some new structure in
your house. Your parents are kind of onto something when
they say an interventions from you and the kids should happen, but.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Just you, not the kids. You and your wife need
to have us sit down and talk about this. You
got a man up. You can't be afraid of your wife.
That's not healthy.

Speaker 13 (59:33):
Talk to each other about how you want to move
forward as a family, not with a drill sergeant.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Find a better way to communicate, Steve.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Yeah, you ain't gonna make it. Dump. This little control
freak you talking about is out of pocket, and you've
allowed it, and I think has gotten to the point
where it does require an intervention, as your parents said,
but she might not care because you've conceded too much.

(01:00:02):
I don't know how long it's been going on, but
obviously since y'all got married. You forty nine, she forty five.
She ex military. She runs a tight ship around here.
I let her discipline the kids. I get to be
the fun parent, but then your teenagers is tied the
notes all over the house with detailed instructions. I got

(01:00:23):
to step in and tell her to ease up a bit,
and then I get yelled at, hey, dog, I'm not
Every time I talk to my wife to say something,
she started hollering at me. I'm nothing to do that, man,
And you're not finna holler at me, not in my house.
You not, not when you want to. Sorry, I'm not
accepting that from anybody. And this ain't about disrespecting her,

(01:00:47):
but it's a lot about her disrespecting you. We got
a meal plan for every week, and the kids still
got to set a bedtime every night. Then you say
your wife control your life too. You have sex when
she want to have sex, and we do it the
way she want to do it. I get all around
and moved around, pushed and shoved in the position that

(01:01:08):
hurt my back, and she almost pulled my arm out
the other socket. But I never say a word because
I don't want to ruin the moment. Well, I tell
you what we're doing. I can fix this for you
right here. Oh oh, we snatching the jerking now, okay,
see our participate with you just how you? Oh oh,
we throw in our backs. Okay, are you gonna move

(01:01:29):
my hips over there? You get your hips over here?
See put your leg over there. You know I can
fix that little moment you have it. So if she
do something rough to you, didn't I go rough back? Oh?
We rough, or we rough rough, stretch, stretch, snatch, snatch, pull, pull,

(01:01:52):
hit it, hit it back our back out. You know
what we do it in here turn it into that.
But you ain't gonna do that because you don't want
to ruin the moment. Now, brother, starting to sound to
me a bit wimpy. It's just starting to sound a
bit whimpy to me. And I don't know if you

(01:02:12):
can control her because she pretty much sees the same
thing I see in this letter. Okay, so then after
y'all have sex and you can hurt you a little back.
She almost pulled your arm out the socker. That's a snatch,
that's over. That's what that is, right, they pull your

(01:02:33):
arm out the socket. Okay, my parents think my children
and I need to do an intervention. You do you
do with my wife? And then here the crazy part.
I found out my teenage daughter go to their house
to freely date and she has boys visit her there.
I trust my parents' supervision, but it hurts me that
I can't share the experience with my daughter.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
What.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
No, that's not a statement that her father makes.

Speaker 13 (01:02:56):
All right, Steve, hang on, we'll have your response coming
up at twenty eight, three minutes after the hour, part
two of it. This today's Strawberry letter, subject my little
control Freak. We'll get back into it right after this.

Speaker 6 (01:03:16):
Do you ever notice your floors still look dirty even
after you mop? Power mop gives you a deeper clean
you can see and feel. Unlike stream mops, Swift for
new micro scrubbers deliver thousands of tiny, deep cleaning actions

(01:03:36):
or your money back?

Speaker 15 (01:03:44):
All right?

Speaker 13 (01:03:45):
Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject
is my little control freak.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
He's forty nine, she's forty five. She's an ex military.
She run a tight ship around there, controls everything. Are
the kids have write up bedtime, to have a meal,
plans every day of the week. They can't. She's a disciplinarian,
so so he gets to be the fun parent. She
don't have a problem with that, but she controls everything,

(01:04:12):
and now she control the way they have sex, when
they have sex, how they have sex, and he be hurt.
She be hurting me. She be hurting me, and she
hurt my back and then she pulled my arm out
to socket. She snatched at me. Yeah, I was over here.
I ain't even want to but I ain't wanna say
nothing because I ain't gonna ruin the moment. I don't

(01:04:34):
like her sex, no one, I'm not gonna be able
to help you. Man, did this letter right here and
so all of this, And then now you find out
that your teenage daughter goes over your parents' house that
has boys come over there and meet her over there,
and you trust your parents' supervision. You just hate that

(01:04:56):
you're not allowed to enjoy the experience with your daughter.
What you know, I ain't never heard of father say
that when the boys come over to visit my daughters.
I just want to be that help enjoy the experience.
I ain't never heard of father say that about no
boy coming over to the house and meet their daughter. Hey, man,
what's wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Are

(01:05:19):
you so busy being a fun parent that you think
everything about parenting is fun because it ain't. Your daughter
needs some discipline, if you lie in your daughter to
sneak around over her mama's house, I got news for you.
She's taking on the attitude that she has to sneak around.
And now I guess what she gonna sneak around to
do something else too.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
But you have a little grandbaby in a minute that
you be able to play with it, having an experience
and all that. I'm telling you, man, everything need to
check in balance system, including your wife. But you gonna
seem like you're the one that's gonna do it now.
Your mom and daddy and told you to have an intervention,
which is a little crazy after you married too, But
you're gonna sit up here. You ain't gonna do that.
Just ignorant, no run around telling everybody what to do.

(01:06:00):
You and your daughter over there. It hurts me that
I can't share experience with my daughter. I don't think
it would go well if if I shared this with
my wife. Hell Now, if you tell your wife your
daughter over there sneaking around, hell no, because she know
what the boys is up to and you should too.
And honestly, I don't think she'll change her behaviors. I

(01:06:22):
don't want my children to be afraid of they mom
nna have bad memories of their childhood. I'm torn between
a great, structured life that my wife provides and the
freedom my teenager's need. Boy, you're so busy trying to
be your teenager's friend. You're gonna mess around, man, have
some more people to be friends with. You're gonna be
a friendly granddaddy in a minute. Gary Man, Shirley said,

(01:06:43):
you need to man up. But man, if Shirley got
to tell you the man, if you got a problem, though,
you got real problem with it. Backfire. If I try
to get my wife to change, I tell you what.
If you don't get her to change, it's already backfiring.
You don't like the sex you have it. Your kids
don't like their mama. Your parents think she needed intervention.

(01:07:04):
What's wrong with y'all just letting this woman do what
she want to do? Them? You bring it up. She
yelled at me, and you don't yell at me in
my own house. That's not what you're gonna do. I
ain't let nobody do that to me. You don't get
to yell at me in my own house. You gonna
get to do that? Should I leave it alone for
now for now, bru, How much worse do it need

(01:07:26):
to get? What if you go? Should I leave it
alone for now? When you're gonna bring it up after
the baby get here? When you're gonna be bringing up
after you got your whole back snatched out having sex?
You ain't driving that ship either.

Speaker 9 (01:07:43):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
What you doing? You ain't doing nothing at your house?
You just over there are willing participant. You're not participating
in the parenting. You're not participating in sex. You ain't
making no choices. You ain't got nothing to do with
the schedule it. Hey, dog, you scared of her, That's
what it sounded like to me. You are scared of her. Yep,

(01:08:08):
she gonna come in there with some do divorce papers
one night because she done found a man somewhere. You
gonna sign him.

Speaker 20 (01:08:14):
I don't get I don't wanna sign the paper, but
she made me sign. We got I gotta go give
me somewhere else and live my kids. She got cussying
kids again?

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Oh, yeah, it's just weakness. He's just a scary individual.
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:08:36):
Counseling therapy might help in this situation. I think it
always helps, no matter what the issue is. But he'll
probably be too scared to go there as well.

Speaker 9 (01:08:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
It's just I have suggestions for anybody that want it
from me. I don't think I'm married to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
You or not.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
Yeah, I mean they should go together.

Speaker 13 (01:08:58):
Yeah, because there's she's she's still doing it military drill
sergeant style, and that's not cool either. They need some
sort of balance in this marriage. He needs to participate
in the marriage, first of all.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
It's just wow, she hurting his back and stuff they have.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
He said.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
She almost pulled my arm on my socket. Yeah, y'all,
y'all outside any garage?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
What is happening? Try it now? Try it now, Lay
under that car.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Till I won't you come out. She almost snashed my
arm out my socket.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
I was, yeah, why would you let her do that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Listen post you're going.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Hiding from houn to the bed and then she gonna
pull my arm almost out the socket.

I got a great idea, man, Instead of putting the
full figure on the front of it, why don't you
reduce it way down and make it the same size
as that Polo emblem, So make you look really big
and pal all right, make it real small and then

(01:13:43):
you won't look so small when you put that on
the whole T shirt?

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Who baby is comes at the top of the hour.

Speaker 13 (01:13:49):
A man of social media need some advice, he says,
one birthday, two sisters. We'll talk about it right after this.
You're listening to the Steele Harvey Morning Show. All right,
so this is from Jay on Steve Harvey FM. Jay says,
my wife is turning thirty soon, and I really want

(01:14:11):
to do something extra special for her, but she's an
identical twin. I get along great with my wife's twin sister,
but I don't want to have to plan and pay
for a surprise for her too. I feel like my
wife deserves something that's just for her for once, but
I don't know if that's possible. Am I going to
have to just forget a big surprise so I can

(01:14:33):
ask her how she wants to handle the celebration with
her sister. Would I be stepping into some sensitive territory
if I planned something that broke their tradition?

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Wait a minute, did they have the same birthday?

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Yeah, they're twins.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
They're twins.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
You have a set of twins.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Yeah, No, it's just one birthday. I don't know what y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Yeah, and one is his wife. He's only married to
one of the twins.

Speaker 14 (01:14:58):
Yeah, he doesn't want to keep himself librations for both
of them. He just do one for the white.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Well, bro, how that's how that's gonna work.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
He feels pressure though, to to celebrate both.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Brother They've they've been warm mates, they had every birthday together.
His responsibility though.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Because she's his wife.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
Well, look who's talking? All right?

Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
You have a law and he's married to one of
your daughters as a twin. Is that an issue?

Speaker 9 (01:15:32):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
What? What?

Speaker 6 (01:15:33):
What?

Speaker 9 (01:15:33):
What?

Speaker 15 (01:15:35):
In law?

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
Who's married to your daughter.

Speaker 14 (01:15:38):
And she is a twins?

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
That hard to understand.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
He he gotta consider that they've never had a birthday
without each other.

Speaker 15 (01:15:51):
Okay, is he supposed to buy Is he supposed to
buy his sister in law a gift and throw her
something too?

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
That don't make sense, Ah, had to buy two gifts?

Speaker 13 (01:16:02):
Your father, not your husband. You're married to one of
the twins.

Speaker 15 (01:16:08):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
You know what, y'all, I ain't got no twins.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
But you you're not married to one of the understandings
I'm not understanding. But Steve, seriously, I'm.

Speaker 13 (01:16:22):
The only expert here, I'm the only You're not married
to one of them? So okay, So you're saying he
has to do what he does for one his wife,
he has to do.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
For the other one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
He has to throw one birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
Okay, you don't think the.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Other one gonna come?

Speaker 13 (01:16:45):
What?

Speaker 6 (01:16:45):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
What is y'all? What does y'all not understanding?

Speaker 15 (01:16:48):
Okay, well you're you're not understanding responsibility. That's what I'm
not understanding. That's not his father.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
It's a whole lot making sense.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
So by he should. He doesn't have to buy them
both his wife and her sister, her twins, the same
gift or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
Right, Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
Okay, So but do you throw the birthday?

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
If you throw the birthday party, she guess who birthday?

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
Okay, she can't come. What you have twins?

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
Okay, I'm just telling you this boy been in trouble
the whole time. I feel sorry for him.

Speaker 13 (01:17:32):
Oh but back to Carlo's question though, what but yeah,
I mean, I know you got mad about it, but seriously,
back to Carlo's question about your twins. One of your
twins is married. So when they celebrate, Brandy and Carly
celebrate together with Carly's husband all the time is.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Car husband might take her to dinner somewhere by theyself,
you know, But something like that party. You thought party
said everybody coming, Oh you can't come? Is y'all listening?

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Everybody got it opinion?

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
But he shouldn't have to and now I can hear
about the radio listen. He shouldn't have to be responsible
for that other one he didn't marry her, or you're
gonna that's at your house?

Speaker 13 (01:18:23):
How this work?

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Understand the bond of.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
Twins, okay, the womb mates like that bond.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Has been since the beginning of time. That bond is real, man, okay.
And if you don't incorporate that in your thinking when
you married one of them, you stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning
right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (01:18:54):
So for some of us, retirement feels like it's a
lifetime away. Northwestern Victuals twenty twenty six Planning in Progress
study has just come out revealing that American's magic number
is one point forty six million dollars. That's what they
need to retire comfortably, and a few have hit that goal.

(01:19:15):
Even worse half say that it's likely they'll outlive their savings.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
So here's a question.

Speaker 13 (01:19:20):
You guys have a magic number to retire comfortably, and
how close are you to that goal?

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Well, here's a better question, Charlie, could you retire one
point for six million?

Speaker 13 (01:19:30):
I'm about a million dollars off right now, but I
don't comfortably comfortably a million?

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Could you retire with one point four?

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
I don't know. I mean I would make the best
of it if that's what I had. Yes, if that's
what I add.

Speaker 14 (01:19:44):
Yes, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):

we have another voicemail call for you from Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
Check it out.

Speaker 21 (01:25:20):
Hello, mister Harvey and the Steve Harvey Morning Crew. I'm
calling from Kentucky and I just wanted to say to you,
mister Harvey, that you.

Speaker 10 (01:25:30):
Are an inspiration.

Speaker 21 (01:25:33):
Keep coming with your messages, keep doing what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
You're providing us.

Speaker 21 (01:25:38):
With life changing help. Have you thought about writing an
inspiration book?

Speaker 9 (01:25:42):
Think about that.

Speaker 21 (01:25:43):
Thank you, mister Harvey.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
Are you welcome Darland. Appreciate the kind words. I don't
know if I'll ever write another book though. It's just
I don't enjoy the book writing process. That's what I
don't like. And then by the time they about my
language and make it, I be reading the book. I
ain't saying it like that, you know, because you know
they can't exactly print how I talk. So that was

(01:26:10):
another call earlier today. Can we play that call back?
It was a call that the gentleman called in and
it was talking about the Yeah, here's another call we
got earlier today.

Speaker 10 (01:26:25):
Yeah, I just heard you.

Speaker 17 (01:26:28):
Talk about that. You was reading off this app about
King Saul and David and Goliah, And I'm just curious,
after reading all of that, how are you still a Christian?
It's a question because if you recognize what you read,
then where did Christianity come in come all of that?

Speaker 10 (01:26:51):
This curious for.

Speaker 17 (01:26:52):
Your response because if you read all that, you should
know where you are by now, if you got that
far into.

Speaker 10 (01:26:59):
The So if you can't just give me a response
on the radio, Well.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
First of all, I never said I was reading an app.
You got that confused with something. I was watching this
new series called House of David. It's actually what I'm doing.
And I don't understand what you're really asking me. I'm
assuming that you're saying that after I've read what I read,

(01:27:29):
how could I possibly be a Christian? So I don't
know what that angle is coming from listen man. Because
of my fame, I get judged in a lot of ways.
I've grown to be the type of person who I
no longer care what people think of me, especially when

(01:27:50):
it comes to my faith. Do you know, man, that
there's a minister that comes on the internet and he
made an accusation that Steve Harvey is trying to come
bind to religion called Chris Slam, that he's trying to
combine Christianity and Islam. I don't know where they be
getting this stuff from, but this is an actual preacher

(01:28:11):
who has a church, who stood up in his pool
pit and said that about me. You know, it's amazing
to me the amount of things that people can get
away with and be sitting in that pool pit. I
don't know what you're asking me, but let me just
make this perfectly clear. I am who I am because

(01:28:32):
God is who he is. I was raised in this
faith of Christianity. I was taught it by my mama.
I'm not finna change that because you wrote in and
I'm not finna be questioned about it either, or you
called in, I'm not finna be questioned about it either.
My faith is my faith. It's always amazing to people

(01:28:53):
they hear a little bit of summon. Then you know,
I wonder how you can still be a Christian. I
don't see how I can't be. I really don't see
how I can be. I have living proof. I am
living proof that my faith works. I am living proof
because I have given God control of my life so

(01:29:14):
many different times. Or I've taken it back a bunch
of times too now, But I've given it up so
many times. I've called on his name and he rescued me.
I don't know. I don't know how else to explain
it to you, But I'm not getting to get off
my faith. How can I be a Christian? How could
I not? How can I not? When I've seen all
the evidence I need to see, When I have called

(01:29:36):
his name and He's answered me, when I've cried and
he heard it. When I didn't have an answer, he
provided it. When I was seeking comfort, he gave it
to me. I have a type of peace in me now, man,
that it's hard to explain.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
Right now, I'm in a moment of uncertainty with what
my next move is gonna be and where I'm gonna
end up, and where I'm gonna land, And do you
know that I'm perfectly cool with that, because I already
know that He comes to give me life and give
me life more abundantly. I know that he has a
life plans for me of prosperity. I do not believe

(01:30:13):
he brought me this far to leave me. I'm just here, man,
I'm just I'm enjoying the fruits of my faith. It
is amazing to me, man, how people always want to
question somebody else's faith. You don't leave your name, you
don't leave what religion you belong to. You just how

(01:30:34):
could I still be a Christian? Okay? If I'm be
a Christian? What you want me be? Okay? Now, let
me tell you something else. Some of the best friends
I have in this world are Muslims. Some of the
finest people I've ever met in my life are some Muslims.
Some of the finest people I've ever met in my
life are Christians. Some of the best people I've ever

(01:30:56):
met in my life are Americans. Some of the best
people of my in my life have never set foot
in America. I don't look, man, I'm just not that
way anymore. I've decided to accept people who they are.
You don't know how God gonna do this thing at
the end, and if you got any sense at all, yeah, all,

(01:31:18):
y'all better be hoping he grading on the curve because
if there's none perfect, no note one, but He's prepared
a place called Heaven, then who going it ain't nobody perfect?
So like right now, i got a seventy out of
one hundred, I'm just hoping that's a low aid. Y'all
better be on that same hope. I'm on, y'all have

(01:31:38):
a great grade. Y'all have a great day today. Talk
to God today. I'd absolutely love him. And any time, yes,
you want to right in by my faith, go ahead.
I got something for you too. Enjoy yourself today. Okay,
I am who I am because God is who he
is for all.
