Come come on, you think that? Uh huh, I sure will.
Good morning everybody, y'all.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Listening to the voice, come on, dig me now, One
and only Steve Harvey Man oh Man got a radio show.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
God so big to me, man, I just have to
tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather
obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's
absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He owned one, he'd
be clowning, he'd be just showing out.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Man.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
I'm just over here, just on the receiving end. You know,
if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your
mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we
as people delay what we want or delay the process

(02:58):
to begin what we want on our hopes, our dreams,
our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why
don't we all decide together that just individually. Look you listening,
you got something that you've been dreaming about. You got
an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got

(03:19):
goals you haven't accomplished yet. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them.
Everybody's got something that's on the table that they haven't
yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your
mission today? Stop the procrastination. Now, the procrastination is only
hurting you yourself. If you got a goal of aspiration

(03:43):
to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can
get back to that because God knows where you're left off.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
You may have to accomplish a few more things since
you stopped for a long period of time, but God
know where you left off. You can get back on track. Look, man,
this dream of being on TV since I was a kid,
and it got off track. Now it got off track.
I just kept it as one of the dreams, and
in some real dog moments when it looked like it

(04:13):
wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was
just the hope that one day it could.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the
belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives
you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, Sometimes it just
keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson say it,
just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's just the hope.
I was hanging on a hope, and I'm talking about

(04:41):
when it.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Got real ugly and funky out there for me, when
it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and
all of the facts was in and everything pointed in
the direction you not gonna make it. You done really
messed up this time. Then I sat there and I
just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what
I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of

(05:05):
vision or something, when you fall off track and you.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Want to go get back in line, God holds your place.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
See.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
He held on to that for me.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
He knew I was off tracking, out of line, but
he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want to
be on TV. Now, when you get it together and
you quit tripping and you come and your turn to me,
I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line.
Then we're gonna finish the journey that took me a
lot longer. To get here than I wanted to. But
then it was necessary because I needed all of them
mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when

(05:36):
I got on the radio one day, which I did
not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all.
That's why I say it every day. See, because of
this radio show that I didn't see coming. Now I
have stories to tell. I got experiences to share, and
I can tell you about me better I can tell
you about anybody. And I done been through enough whereas relatable,

(05:59):
where enough people can go mad that happened to me.
Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See,
I get it now. See at the time, no, I
didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,
I was really in total disagreement with God on a
lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But
in essence I was really pulling it off on myself.
But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through

(06:21):
all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,
all my misfires, all the times I knowingly.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Stepped out there and did wrong.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
He forgave me, he said, because man if you ever
come to me, I have a plan for you that
is going to be far and above. It will supersede
everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I
just got sick of me, good and sick of me,
and I turned it over to God. And then God

(06:53):
started working and here I am today. Now, he threw
with me. Yet, Nope, I have jet Nope. But guess
what the journey is cool?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
You know.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
It's like I was talking to this young brother the
other day about comedy and he's a really good stand up.
You know, this young dude is really good. He said, Man,
what is this I feel every night before I go
on stage. I don't know what it is. I just
want it off me, I said, sir, listen to me,
you young dude. This thing that climbs on my back

(07:27):
every night before I go on stage. I don't know
what it is. It's got something to do with pressure,
It's got something to do with anticipation. It's got a
whole lot to do with the fear of falling.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
He said.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
What you mean by that, I say, every night I
walk out on stage, it's like I'm about to go
and step off of cliff. I say, it's a sickening feeling.
He said, Man, but you do so well. I said,
that's because the parachute opens. I say, but I want
you to understand something. When I first walk out there,
it's just stepping off the cliff. Now these yokes provide

(08:00):
a parachute which slows my descent when I jump off
the cliff, and I turned it into a glide. And
then I take the audience this way and I swung
them back over to that way. We might swing out
to the Colorado Rockies. We may go down to Miami
with this joke. We may take it on out to
LA and I just swing back and forth till I

(08:21):
land softly. The crowd cheers. The night is over with,
I said, but it's been too many nights though. When
I walked off that cliff and I pulled the cord
and the parachute didn't open, I said, Now I'm just
free falling out there for thirty minutes. Ain't no jokes working.
Ain't the parachute didn't open. I said, So see, that's
what it's like for me. And then you know what

(08:43):
I found out. If you done walked off the cliff
in life and you ain't got no guard in your life.
It's like not having a parachute. You step off the
cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all
now that fog gets you closer to the grave, right,
We all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.
But the cool thing about a relationship with God is

(09:05):
when you step off the cliff and you got God
here a parachute.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
You still going.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Down, but it's a nice ride, and God just helps
your descent appear more like a rise and the more
like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God
in your life and you just walking off that cliff
every day, free falling. Ain't got no cord, you steady pulling,
you hollering the whole way because you to mess around

(09:32):
with yourself, and ain't let God come into your life
and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have
a parachute since I got to jump every day than
to not have one. God has been like a parachute
for me. Ask me where that came from. I can't
tell you. But like I always say, most good things

(09:52):
that happen in my life that I can't explain is
usually him.

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

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, I guess you can't be surprised about
what I'm about to say, but you do know that
God did it again.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
You do know that.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Don't you stop being surprised that I bring this up
so often, because that's really how amazing it is, because
only God can create a new day, and so realizing
that you ought to thank Him for it and the
fact that He allowed you to be here in it present. Man,
what a great honor. Man, I'm so grateful today. Thank

(10:34):
you God for everything you've done for me, for the
measure of health that I have, for my strength being
in my right mind. Thank you, Heavenly Father for using
and putting my names in rooms before I get there.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Thank You for your grace and mercy everything. Man, this
is a big day. Let's go, y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
You dropped two hundred and ten thousand dollars worth of tickets? Easy? Yeah,
ten thousand out of mode than that in Vegas? That
ain't nothing. And they raked that in a hole.

Speaker 5 (12:06):

Speaker 4 (12:07):
They rate that whole tea and in that hole. Yeah,
at least let me watch some numbers pop up.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Wow, let me take my little five dollars and go
sit down.

Speaker 8 (12:21):
Now.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
The most I have bought at one time was two hundred.
I bought two hundred tickets and the man didn't want
to sell them to me. Had a little confutation coming
through Florida. Why would you want to take that opportunity
from other people and brodd you out of tickets?

I ain't taking no opportunity for nobody.

came out said, you don't know who this is there?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Now, this just ain't right.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
A man coming here and spend up two hundred dollars
worth of tickets, she said, But mister, whatever he can,
he can buy him tickets as he won't. I don't
just I don't think it's right. Well, it's why I
was on that side of the counter and I move
its two hundred dollars. So now can you please hand
me them two hundred tickets? Because this low budget thinking

(13:11):
you doing is the reason why we have an argument
right now? Why is two hundred too much?

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Listen, we have an incident that has taken place at
the job you actually.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
What floor are you on? Vin? I'm all for twelve
floor twelve? All right? So do you use the copy
machine that often on that floor?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Not all the time, but I do use it every
once in a while.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Okay, every once in a while. So here's what's going on.

Speaker 8 (15:35):
There's gonna be some actions being taken place here pretty soon,
some legal actions, and we're just clearing everybody. You know,
this is just a proper procedure that we're having to
go through. So let me just kind of enlighten you
on what's taking place. Someone on the twelfth floor has
copied their butt on a piece of paper in the

(15:55):
copy machine. So someone I actually sat up on the
xerox machine and copied or butt. Why someone would do that,
I have no earthly idea. But what's happening now is
everyone on your floor is gonna have to come in
and show their butt. So we're scheduling this now. I'm
thinking Friday at eleven a m.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Would that be so.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Y'all y'all talking, y'all talking about y'all want me to
come up there and show show my, show my, because somebody,
I'm a grown man. Okay, I'm a grown man.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
I ain't do that.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, you know what. I believe you.

Speaker 8 (16:34):
I believe you wholeheartedly, Von, But just to clear your name,
we have to, I hate to say it, clear your
butt as well. So we want to make sure we're
gonna find out whose butt.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
This is on a piece of paper, that did this.
We're gonna find out.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
You're gonna find you're gonna find out who's You're gonna
find out whose cheeks those are, and you're gonna find
out real quickly in our mind. All right, I'm not
doing that, man, I'm not gonna come in.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
You said Friday.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
You're doing this on Friday, Friday at eleven, not coming
my day off.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm pull my pants down. But some strangers looking really
look at my look at my cheeks, talking about somebody copy,
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
I don't want to.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
I don't want this to take a turn, Von, because
right now this is if you're not if you're saying
you're not coming in, then other actions will be taking
place if you don't come in and follow the precedure
that everybody's saying.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Everybody else that I'm calling they have to come in.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
How many how many people work on that floor?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
There's at least eighty plus people on that floor.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
You're talking about trying to have eighty plus people come
in drive a way work so some strangers and we
don't even know can look at our look at our cheeks,
and I'm not gonna do that. I don't know who
did it, but I know they ain't me.

Speaker 8 (17:48):
Well, somebody somebody's xeroxs there butt on the twelfth floor,
and we're gonna get to okay, but we're gonna get
to the bottom of who did it and what you're
what you're not gonna do? Von Is tell me you're
not coming in. What you're not gonna do? Do you
like your job here with this company?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Okay, what you're not gonna do exactly like you're gonna
fire me because I'm not gonna show y'all my sweet
goodies just because you just because you're from HR You
got me fooled. If you actually expect me to think
that everybody that work from this floor is over here like,
oh yeah, sure, I'm going some strangers look at mine,
look at my crack.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
You must be playing, no, sir, not with me.

Speaker 8 (18:28):
Okay, let me let me let me ask you this.
Do you have a coworker named Andre Andre? Yes, Andre
says he knows you. Now, I'm just gonna put it
out here. Andre is stating that it could have possibly
been you.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Really, Andre got the nerve to say it could have
been me? Andre? Why didn't he trying to single me out?
Like I even use that damn copier not around there
playing games.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
I'm a grown man.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
He must be out of his mind thinking he gonna
say I did it.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
All I know is he stated that you were a possibility.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
That's what. That's what he stated.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
He said I was a possibility.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
That that's dumb.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
He ain't have absolutely the reason to think. I don't
even use that copier, man, I use that thing like
once every two to three weeks, everybody on that floor.

Speaker 8 (19:18):
Okay, so out of once every two three weeks, is
there a possibility maybe you propped your butt up there
and copied it.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Not at all, y'all ain't even told me when this happened.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
I probably wasn't even working when the booty chicks them.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
You can you must be out your mind. You can
waste everybody else the time trying to bring everyone in
to get a free strip show.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
But you're not gonna do that to me.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
This has to be unethical and illegal on so many levels.
You're trying to come in and say everybody on the
entire floor has to come show that. Geez man, you
want to be kidding me?

Speaker 5 (19:52):
What's your name?

Speaker 3 (19:54):

mid fifties, so it seems a bit childish. Do I
have to carve out time for a trip to New Mexico?

This is from Rob and Burbank. Rob, you know the.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Answer to that question. Dog, You and your dad ain't speaking.
Why you need to fix that because one day you
could lose this man. Secondly, every man wants his woman
to meet his mama. You know, Rob, if you ain't
been took her down there, you know what's happening a dog?
Come on, man, and how is she pressing you to

(25:29):
meet your family? She ain't pressing you to get married,
but she probably of the of the understanding that if
you don't introduce me to your mama, that means you're
not interested. Why don't you just come clean with how
you really feel. You're three years in, you're fifty.

Speaker 1 (25:42):

So what do I owe the pleasure of this call?

Speaker 9 (47:31):
I wanted to give you some information that the that
the church has come up with and we wanted to
let you know what was going on before next Sunday.
You got. I didn't interrupt you, Dinna, No, no.

Speaker 11 (47:41):
I actually I may sound a little a little off
a little bit. I'm trying to get getting ready for
my little babes, my little darlings, and I'm trying to
your voice sounds so familiar to me. It just sounds
so familiar. Trying to place place that voice.

Speaker 9 (47:54):
Okay, Well, you've seen me at the church quite a

You're aware that for the last the last six Sundays
you've been actually coming into service late. Have you realized that, Yes,
I know.

Speaker 11 (48:13):
I'm sorry about that, but you know, yes I have,
I have my reasons.

Speaker 9 (48:17):
So okay, okay, Well here's what's going on. The officials
at the church have gotten together and this is what
they've decided on, is that anybody who is late starting
next Sunday, there would be a fifteen dollar charge for
that for coming in and disrupting services. Fastest tired of
service being disrupted by people walking in late that that

(48:39):
could not come at a worse time.

Speaker 11 (48:41):
I don't have fifteen dollars to give.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
I don't have it.

Speaker 11 (48:47):
Oh look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we're late. I
am we are doing our best. I have three kids.
I have three young kids, two seven and and they
are a handful, and we do the best that we
can to get the church on time. And to tell you,

(49:08):
when we get there, it's doing praise and worship. I mean,
Pats ain't even preaching.

Speaker 9 (49:12):
Yet, so I know it's not pass is not up yet,
but he's he's stating that people coming in. It just
seems very disruptive to the service that's going on. So nevertheless,
like I said, this is a warning call, you know,
to let you know that if you are late on
next Sunday, then they will be charging you fifteen dollars
are late charge. And actually you won't be able to

We are on the bus man public transportation.

Speaker 9 (49:56):

civilitize whatever thing that you're going through.

Speaker 11 (50:01):
But why are you called if you understand? Why are

I'm going through?

Speaker 9 (50:05):

what you were going Why are you raising your voice
at me? Why are you raising? Did you just raise
your voice at me?

How dare you call me about this? About a feat?
And I'm there at church, I got my key. Instare
trying to raise them up? Is the way they should go,
just like the Bible say. And you know why I
gotta do this and why I'm late? Why we got

Speaker 9 (50:43):
Okay, listen, here's the deal, all I can do is
tell you this. I hope you can make it. Maybe
you can catch an earlier bus, you know what I mean,
and get that a little earlier. But but I'm just
stating the facts that as of next Sunday, if you
come in late, it's fifteen dollars late fee, and that's
what you'll pay to get in the service.

Speaker 11 (51:01):
You know what, Well, maybe next Sunday I just won't
be there. How about that? You know I'm already working
six days a week. The only day I have office Sunday,
I've been baking, breaking my back. Do you know I
work two jobs. I work two jobs, and they always
trying to take money out of my check, always trying
to pull me here and there, and I'm always tired.
I get two hours of sleep, and then now the

(51:22):
church wants to dump another fifteen dollars charging me for
being at church when that's what I'm supposed to do.

Speaker 9 (51:28):
But you're coming in late, though, Tracy.

Speaker 11 (51:31):

I might be delayed, but I ain't denied, and I'm
getting there the best way that I know how. For Oh,

And here it is strawberry letter.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
All right, Telly, thank you. Subject what's my role in
my marriage? What's my role in my marriage? Dear Stephen Shirley.
I'm married to a man that doesn't do his own laundry,
rake his own plate into the sink, or do any
chores in our home. He said. He makes the money
and provides a decent living for our children, and I'm
supposed to have sex with him and do my duty

(56:54):
as the wife and mother. He is only thirty two,
so he's getting this from his daddy, who's been divorced twice.
He told me that if he can't be a king
in his household, he will have to go where he's celebrated.
I have told him several times to go ahead and
see if the grass is greener on the other side,
but he won't do it. I refuse to be treated

(57:16):
like a handmaid at home. The only time he treats
me like an equal is when it counts. He brags
to his friends that I'm so smart, and I'm a
great wife, and I'm raising our daughters to be polite
and kind. Then as soon as we're alone, he's telling
me to go get ready for bed and wait for
him before I fall asleep. Because he is in the
mood for intimacy. He never does the appetizer part first anymore.

(57:40):
He skips right to the entree and then takes the shower.
If I try to take a shower with him like
we used to, he will say that he won't be
in there long. I would love to know where I
stand with my husband and if this is what our
marriage will be like forever. I want to talk to
his dad to see why he's advising him to treat
me like I'm his servant. And I want to ask

(58:02):
his mother if this is how her marriage was. My
husband said, I have no right to speak to his
parents if he is not present. Am I part of
this marriage or am I a smart maid and nanny
that he enjoys having sex with? What is my role
with him? Well, right now, your role is that of

(58:24):
a wife who is being controlled and defined by her husband.
I don't like the fact that you are letting him
tell you who you are in this marriage. Marriage is
supposed to be a loving, committed partnership between two people.
Marriage is not a dictatorship like what your husband has
going on in your marriage. You can control your own narrative,

(58:46):
meaning you decide your own role with him. He doesn't
decide that.

Speaker 5 (58:50):
You say.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
He treats you well outside of the house, but inside
he's cold and mean. You've told him many times to
go ahead and see if the grad greener on the
other side. Go ahead, but he won't do it. And
why do you think that is? Because he knows better.
He knows that it isn't. So don't just allow him
to continue to treat you this way. Talk to you crazy?

(59:13):
How dare he? You have to teach him how to
treat you. And you don't need to talk to his
parents about what's going on in your house either. Talk
to him that's your husband. Tell him how you feel
or better yet, show him. Don't wait for him to
come to bed only to just satisfy himself. You go
to bed and go to sleep if that's what you

(59:33):
want to do, because your body and mind only respond
to a caring, loving husband. Let him know that that's
what you got to tell him. No one said he
couldn't be the king of the castle. He's just got
to remember that you are the queen of the castle
and he needs to treat you as such. Period.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Steve Well, the problem with this guy realizing that his
wife says the queen of the castle is he doesn't
have a good definition of what queen is. He doesn't
understand that the queen is the most powerful position on
the chessboard, always has been, always will be. Now the
game is over once you capture the king, but if
you lose your queen, and the game is very difficult

(01:00:14):
to win, especially if somebody else got one. Now you're
I'm married to a man. What's my role in my marriage, lady,
that's for you to define. This is your definition of
what your role in the marriage is. What role are
you willing to play?

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
You're married to this man that don't do his own line,
you rake his own plate, int to the sink, or
do any chores.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
In our home?

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
He said, he makes the money, provides a decent living
for our children, and I'm supposed to have sex with
him and do my duty as a wife and mother.
He's only thirty two, so he's getting this from his daddy,
who's been divorced twice. He told me that if he
can't be a king in his household, he'll have to
go where he's celebrated. Look, man, early threats and what

(01:01:03):
you're gonna do and all this hell man bye. I
told him several times to go ahead and see if
the grass is green on the other side.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
But he won't do it. No, let me explain something
to you. It ain't that he won't do it. He
done tried it properly. But what the deal is is
he not.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Gonna find nobody that's gonna take in with this nineteen
fifty two marriage agreement nineteen fifty two.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
This ain't my three sons or leave it to beaver.
This is the same. What this is the Saint Black
and White TV.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
No more think on you. You don't get You don't
get to talk to women like this man. You you
don't get to tell a woman that go in there
and get ready for bread till I come in there.
What where are you if you're getting this from your
stupid daddy that's been divorced twice. Don't you know that's
where you're headed. I refuse to be treated like a

(01:01:58):
handmaid at home. Then you say, the only time he
treats you is equal is when it counts.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
That's so.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
That's a double canandra what you call it? That's a
oxy moron. I don't know what they call it. This
don't make no sense.

Speaker 9 (01:02:17):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
The only time he treats me like an equal is
when it counts. What getting treated right counts all the time.
But you think it's kind when he brad to his
friends that I'm smart and a great wife and kind
of politen. Then when he's alone, he's telling me to
go get ready for bed and wait for him before
I fall asleep because he in the move for intimacy. Man, girl,

(01:02:43):
I'm tired.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Hang on, Steve, hang on. We'll have part two of
your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the
hour Today's Strawberry letter subject what is my role in
my marriage? We'll get back into it right after this.
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
Get into the Hyundai Getaway sales event and get away
with the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
So right, it almost feels wrong. Right now, get.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):

SUV's like the Hondai Santa Fe, or go all electric
with America's most awarded EV lineup like the Ionic five
or Ionic six.

Speaker 8 (01:03:26):
with a great deal only during the Hondai Getaway Sale event.
Visit Hyundai USA dot com for details.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
All right, come on, Steve, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter.
The subject is what is my role in my marriage
a wife?

Speaker 9 (01:03:42):
One?

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
That's the question and that we can't answer that one.
You're supposed to determine that you've married this guy that
don't do no household chores at all. Told you that
that's the way it works because he make all the money,
He take care of his wife and kids, and all
you need to do is your wifey dudies, the wifely duties.
And you're supposed to have sex with him when he
wants to. And he'll tell you, you know, go in

(01:04:04):
there and get ready for bed and before I fall asleep,
and I'm coming there because I want to be intimate.

Speaker 5 (01:04:10):
What do you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
Then here's a line that stood out for me in
the whole letter. The only time he treats me like
an equal is when it counts, lady, it counts all
the time. But you think when he gets in front
of his friends and he brags on you, talk about
how smart you are and how good of a wife,
and how you're waising your daughters and all that. And

(01:04:34):
then after that, as soon as we're alone, he telling
me to go get ready for bed and wait for
him before I fall asleep, because he in the mood
for intimacy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Who married to this? Where do you find? Huh?

Speaker 9 (01:04:48):
How you?

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
What did you say? Get in there?

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
Get in there and get ready for bed till I
come in there?

Speaker 9 (01:04:54):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
He never does the advertiser part first anymore. He skips
right to the entree and then takes a shot. If
I try to take a shot with him like we
used to, he'll say he won't be in that long.
And I would love to know where I staying with
my husband. You don't stand no where with him. He
done told you you don't stand You get in there
and lay in that bed, wait till I come in. Now,

(01:05:20):
I don't do no charge. You do all this clean
and mopping, wiping, take caady, kids, I'm the king of
this castle. I want to know where I stand with
my husband. If this is what our marriage would be
like forever. Yeah, unless you change it, you're getting what
you're gonna get. And if you keep doing what you

(01:05:42):
been doing, you gonna keep getting what you've been getting.
The change is up to you. I want to talk
to his dad to see why he's advising me to
treat me like this. I'm his servant, and I want
to ask his mom if this is how and her
marriage was.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
What are you talking to them for? What you keep
looking for? Insight?

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
See your problem, young lady, is you keep looking for
your justification in other people. You won't talk to his daddy,
you won't talk to his mama. Then you say he
only treats me right when he counts. You keep waiting
on validation for somebody else. My husband said, I have
no right to speak to his parents if he is

(01:06:25):
not present. Wow, what kind of relationship y'all got? Am
I a part of this marriage? Or am I a
smart maid and a nanny that he enjoys having sex with.
You're a part of his marriage. Once you insert yourself
into the marriage, you do know that it takes two
people to be married. I don't know what y'all's viles was,

(01:06:48):
but I most women don't listen to him no way. Now,
I'm not talking about in terms of lawty is nothing
like that, but that that they even took them words
out honor and obeyed. They don't even say that no more,
I don't think because if you can get one to obey,
that have to be a miracle. Please please tell me
how that works. Donna and obeyed, I be I at

(01:07:08):
never and these two that's on this show married down
obeyed nothing. I can just tell you that it's just
not in their card. So I don't even really anyway.
They ain't got nothing to do with it. What is
my role with him? Well, you're the lady that does
all the housework. You're the lady that goes in there

(01:07:29):
and lay down till he get ready to have sex
and shut up all this talking.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
You don't come in here, don't show with me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
I don't want to. I don't want that. Don't be
a hero of nohing to stop. That's your role, that's
what you've described to us. Now, Am I a smart
maid and a nanny that he enjoys having sex with
I think you just described your role because so far
in the letter that's what you are. You're a smart maid,
a nanny, and he enjoys having sex with you. What

(01:08:03):
are you getting out of this? What's in it for you?
I mean, you didn't say he was a great dad.
He told you he's a great provider.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
I know I am.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
I want that credit all the time. But that ain't
all you get to be though, when you're a husband
and a father, you got to be something else. And
so yeah, lady, what's your role in this marriage? Only
you can determine that. But I tell you what you
all are young. If you don't change this, this is

(01:08:36):
this is what's gonna happen in your marriage from now on.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
And you're gonna be miserable.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Because I don't really see what you're getting out of it.
And here's left to his other point, I almost forgot this.
Y y'all ain't had none of these discussions.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Before y'all got married. Helen, you didn't. You didn't know
that this is what he expected you to do. You
didn't know he never told you when I get married,
I make this money. I ain't doing no cleaning.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
I told her to Marrow.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
I said, hey, when we get married, don't ask me
to clean.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
I told her that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
She still asked me to clean. You've lift up through.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Now I gotta go in there and wipe the count
off every night. It's my plate.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
I don't know, Damn the dish washer for what are
these people in here?

Speaker 5 (01:09:26):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
What has we got these people walking around here for?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Oh one?

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
I don't understand right, all right, please stop telling me
what I need to do, but clearly these people are
in here.

Speaker 8 (01:10:31):
Shallowed and got cut from Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There's talks
about Dollar possibly going to play Canadian football, and there's
also a rumor that the door might be going to
Canadian football.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
You're going to know where? Okay, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
All right, clean, clean, and just traded Kenny Pickett to
the Los Angeles Raiders for a fifth round pick.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
In next year's draft.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Cleveland's draft board next year is outstanding. Okay, so now
they have three quarterbacks, well technically, but go ahead, No,
how they got full Trump?

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Well are you adding? Uh uhha?

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
Oh no, he ain't even in the company, man, he
ain't even in the conversation.

Speaker 8 (01:11:27):
Thank you, congratulations. I think he just got married. But yeah, so,
so what do you think do you think shot? This
is a good move for Shallow going to Canadian malls.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
I don't think that's necessary yet.

Speaker 8 (01:11:42):
Okay, he can get cornerback man. He played pretty good
throughout the preseason. He did pretty decent.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
Is he a cornerback or safety? I thought he was corner.
Maybe it's safety. I thought he was corner like a dad.
Well not like his dad. You know what I'm trying
to say. He can play something.

Speaker 8 (01:12:00):
I don't understand. Man, This this preseason, of course, is
for everybody. You know, you got you got rookies coming in.
You're either gonna make the team or not make the team.
But at least you see, you get to see your
main quarterback come do a couple series, march the field.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
That's that's normal.

Speaker 8 (01:12:17):
What I don't understand, Dallas, Cowboy Dak Prescott has not
taken a snap yet, and I don't get that. And
you finna come play Philadelphia for your first game? Uh,
the big defense opening game Thursday night would be will
be the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):

sense to me. Well you know this, Dallas, though, this Dallas, what.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
Makes sense in I mean? And this ain't me hating.
I'm just asking a question. The fans are confused. This
man ain't sign Parsons yet. Parsons. It's confused. Everybody want
to know what's happening. That's how Jay jorganes NEI running
the organization. Man, there is where That's why. Man, I

(01:13:05):

the teams. No, the dog I ain't got no problem
with the fans. Well, I loved a cheerleaders. Let me
just put that out there. They have the most americous team.

Speaker 8 (01:13:22):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
All right, thank you, nephew. Coming up at the top
of the hour, a lady needs some advice Steve on
how to handle her baby daddy and his wife. Okay,
we'll get into that God right after this. You're listening
to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, this
is from Precious in Memphis. Prescia says, I had a

(01:13:47):
baby in March, and my child's dad has been to
see the baby once. He called and asked if he
could come and get our child to introduce the baby
to his wife. I told him if my I pause
there because I know you needed a moment. I told him,
if my baby goes to meet his wife, then I
should go meet her too. He said that his wife

(01:14:08):
doesn't want to meet me. Should I keep my baby
away until I meet his wife? That is her question.
That's precious.

Speaker 4 (01:14:15):
He's your baby. He'dn't been to see her once. I
don't think he's in a position for demands. If you say, look,
you can come get the baby, but I want to
meet your wife. You got to know who got your kids.
Now his wife don't want to meet her, then you
can't meet the baby. What what the hell?

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
This woman had the baby?

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
She got DIBs. The mother got DIBs. Sorry, yeah, wow,
yeah she had Yeah, brother, you'd have been to see
her one time. Now you want to pick the baby
up and take so your wife can meet her. Oh well,
I want to meet your wife. She don't want to
meet you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Okay, Well cool, she don't want to meet me. Shea's
fit to meet my baby, right baby? Okay? All right,
So she should keep the baby until she meets the wife. Absolutely,
this is a simple request. Yeah, it was stupid asked it.
He's stupid. A baby mama for your wife. All right,

(01:15:24):
we have time for another one, Steve. This is from
Cynthia in Studio City. Cynthia says, I pay my teenage
son to help me out by picking up his little
brother from school this year and keeping him until I
get home from work. I found out that he's been
smoking weed out back and leaving my son inside unattended.
I told him that if he can't be as sharp,

(01:15:46):
that he can't be as sharp as he needs to
be when he's under the influence of drugs. He says,
he's better when he smokes. He's nineteen years old and
weed is legal here.

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
So what do I do?

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Do I stop paying him if he's going to be high? Well,
I mean you're paying him to watch is your son? Okay?
I mean he's not smoking in front of the How
old is the boy?

Speaker 9 (01:16:13):

he thinks he can. He the reason he watched him
better when he high is called he ain't watching it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):

watch him better from out back. See how that sounds crazy? Yeah?
And she's concerned about the younger brother, the little brother

off the shame. Always tell me what's your show this weekend?

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):

Speaker 7 (01:25:30):

Yeah, I'm working up there. I'm putting into work.

Speaker 8 (01:25:46):
How come I hang out with us? Man, We're gonna
have a good time bought well off Friday night.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
That should be a lot of fun. All right, Steve,
here we are time for closing remarks. I did want
to ask you this. You know, sometimes you talk to
us about relationships and things like that. I always love
when you talk about the four bank accounts, four bank accounts.
People ask me, what did Steve say about the four
bank accounts? Can you explain that? Please?

Speaker 8 (01:26:14):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:26:14):
You know, that's crazy because I just had this conversation
with this couple who were having an argument about money.
Oh why And they said, well, let's ask mister Harvey
and see what you think. And so I just had
this conversation and it was taught to me actually by
a friend of mine who's deceased now, the great Roger E. Salter,

(01:26:40):
who owned San Mar Financial up in Chicago. That man
right there taught me so much about finances. Roger Salters
man Frat Brother sixty eight, MISSI man. He was a great, great,
great friend. He taught me something. He said, Steve, every

(01:27:03):
couple should have four bank accounts. He said, you could
save yourself a lot of trouble. Because he was advising
me years ago. This was in the nineteen nineties, and
he was giving me some advice. Now I was struggling.
He said, here's why you're struggling, because even though you're married, man,
you need to have individuality. I said no, He said,

(01:27:23):
nobody wants to ask somebody for something all the time.
Say you got to create freedom within your marriage, he say,
and within your partnership. So every couple should have four
bank accounts.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
He said, you.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
Should have number one. If both of you are working,
you should have a joint account where you both put
your incomes into this account and you sought out the
bills that have to be paid.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
These are the.

Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
Must do things, the rent, the mortgage, the light, the gas,
the groceries, the card notes, the insurances are cation for
all of this has to go in in it. And then,
no matter who you are, you have to make a
concerted effort, the two of you to save something. He said,

(01:28:13):
I don't care if it's twenty dollars a week, two
hundred a week, five percent of your money a week,
whatever your two of you decide, you've got to save
something from every check. Don't ever spend the whole check.
Put it in a joint account that requires both of
your signatures to move the money so now you've taken

(01:28:37):
care of your household, you've taken care of your necessities,
and now you have a little nest egg that you're building.
But it requires two people to move, so one person
can't go and take the money out without the other
person's knowledge. He said, Now a bank account three and
four that you need is she needs her own personal
account and you need your own person. There's no account

(01:29:01):
because what that does is you all decide out of
the joint account where you all put your money. Who
gets what as there monthly or buy monthly. If you
get paid once a month, it goes in once a month.
If you get paid twice a month, it goes in
twice a month. If you get paid weekly, it goes
in weekly. However you want to decide it. But who
gets what?

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
He said?

Speaker 4 (01:29:22):
Now, let me give you a piece of advice. Son,
He said, you.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
Should always give your wife more than you get.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
He said, I explain something to you, he said, because
you're not gonna be able to give this woman, especially
if you have a true partner, because she will take
care of stuff with her money that you don't even
think about. She gonna do stuff for the kids, she
gonna do stuff for the grandkids. She gonna do stuff
for the house out of her money. But now she

(01:29:54):
needs more to maintain herself than you do. You gotta
go get a haircut. She gotta get a hair done.
She gotta buy makeup. She gotta do manicures, pedicures. She
gotta do spa treatments to keep it up. She gotta
buy skincare products. All you got is some lotion at
the house, he says, So give your wife more than

(01:30:14):
you get now in her account. She does not have
to ask your permission for anything. If she want to
spend it on barettes, she get to buy bags or barettes.
She want to spend it on skin care products, You
can't say nothing. You, on the other hand, sir, you
get your own money. She can't say nothing. If you
buying cigars, tequila, if you buying golf clubs, whatever you buy,

(01:30:45):
she can't say anything. You want to loan your partner
one hundred dollars, that's on you. She want to give
her family members one hundred dollars, that's on her. And
it keeps a level of independence while you're made married
in freedom and allows the one person not to be
beholden to the other person. It'll cut down on a

(01:31:06):
lot of financial arguments. It'll ensure that you all have
taken care of your basics, and it will ensure that
you all are building for the future with some type
of saving. Four bank accounts per couple is a must have.
Greatest advice I've ever had. Those are my closing remarks today,
and listen to everybody. Please don't forget talk to God today.

(01:31:26):
He would absolutely love to hear from you.
