Speaker 4 (01:49):
Look, come.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think, uh huh, I sure will. Good
morning everybody. You all listening to.

Speaker 8 (02:06):
The voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only
Steve Harvey got a radio show.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
Man oh Man.

Speaker 8 (02:13):
Oh Man symbolizes just one thing to me. Man, It's
just a constant remind of exactly how good God has
been to me over the years. And I'm thank him
for it too, because I realize every day that I
wake up that I would be nothing without him. That
everything I am, that's any good in me, I owe
to him.

Speaker 7 (02:32):
Now.

Speaker 8 (02:33):
Have I made some mistakes along the way, yep, bunches,
bunches and bunches. And will I continue to make mistakes
along the way yep? Not as many, hopefully as I
have in the past, because a lot of stuff I
know better now.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
But you're still going to make mistakes. Now.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
You know, hopefully I've limited the amount of intentional erarors
in my life. I've wiped quite a few of those out.
But from time to time, because we're human, we're going
to make a mistake every now and then. The trick,
what it is, y'all, is not to let the devil
deceive you into thinking that once you make that mistake

(03:16):
that that's it. You can't do it, and you falling
off the wagon, you can't reboard it. That's the biggest
trick that he uses. He makes you think that if
you keep stumbling, that you can't run the race. It
kind of reminds me of a marathon runner. From time

(03:37):
to time, I watch them on TV, and you'll see
some people who finish the race, you know, in a
nice pace. You see people finish the race sprinting towards
the finished line. But every now and then you'll watch
a marathon and you'll see a runner and the runner

(03:58):
is in really, really bad shape.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
The key is they finish the race.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
See, you don't get disqualified in the marathon because you stumble,
You don't.

Speaker 7 (04:14):
They don't.

Speaker 8 (04:14):
They don't take your opportunity to finish the race because
you keep falling, that's not the key. The key is finishing.
And a lot of times what the devil does is
he makes you think that because you keep stumbling, because
you're swaying from side to side, that you know you

(04:35):
out the race. Well, that's not the case. And see
and then this thing called life, let me help you
understand something. Everybody falls, Nobody sprints to the tape in
this one. Nobody just runs free and clear. That has
some people running faster than you and all like this,
And some people gonna get to the end before you
let them go ahead. And when the end come, the

(04:57):
end come. I ain't in the rust. You get to
the end. But in this race, though, when you're stumbling
and you're falling, it's a part of it. No one
gets through this race without stumbling and falling, swaying from
side to side. So don't let the enemy deceie you
in the thinking that it's over. I try to be

(05:18):
encouraging to people because I don't want people to get
stuck on this thing, you know. And my walk is
very different from a lot of people's walks. And then
I know a lot of people who walking in faith
the way I'm walking in faith. But my thing in
the morning is just to remind those that is not
a perfect walk man, that it's not something that's set

(05:39):
up where you're going to be skipping through life scott
free without any pitfalls. You know, I keep saying it
over and over and over again because, like I said,
when I was in DC, my boy Hondo said this
to me and it just kind of stuck with me
that the road to construct, the road to success is
always under construction. You have to figure and count on

(06:03):
the setbacks and the pitfalls. But it's those people that
that that that are that fight through will be the
victors in the end. You cannot give up, man, Stop
going somewhere and sitting down every time something goes down.
It's going to go down. It's a part of it.
It's going to happen. It's going to occur that are

(06:25):
going to be setbacks. If you go and sit down
every time there's a setback, that's.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Not how this works. It is designed that way.

Speaker 8 (06:35):
If success were easy, everybody would be successful. But success
is just reserved for those who are willing to fight through,
who refuse to settle for mediocrity, who wants something more Now,
don't get me wrong. Success is defined by each individual.

(06:56):
So what I may consider to be successful, you may
not consider that. You know what Bill Gates considered successful.
I might not consider what Michael Jordan considered successful. I
might not consider what you consider successful. Your boss might
not consider. You have to define what that is for yourself.
It may not be monetary at all. You know, your

(07:19):
level of success could be tied up in community service.
It could be tied up in family. It could be
tied up in the church. Your level of success could
be tied up into boys clubs. It could be any
number of things. Whatever your level of success is, you
have to determine what that is you and the best
way to determine that is to get in touch with

(07:42):
your maker, who created you, to find out what your
mission and your purpose is so he can put you
on track. I just had this conversation with my son
and we were talking about getting on the path that
God has.

Speaker 7 (07:58):
Set up for you.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
So many times we find ourselves fighting through life because
of so much uncertainty, because we have no idea where
we're headed. It's like one of my sayings that I
have at my mentoring camp for boys, is is that
a boy without a male role model is like an

(08:21):
explorer without a map. See if you don't have a
map laid out in front of you of where you're
going when you wake up every day. That pretty much
explains the feeling of confusion, the laxadaisical attitude, the lack

(08:43):
of purpose, the not understanding your mission because you don't
have not gotten in touch with your creator to find
out exactly what your path in life is. What are
you supposed to be doing? The moment you can identify
that is the moment that you get started waking up

(09:03):
with purpose, with the sense of direction. When you kill
the sense of I don't know what's next or what
to do. Now, there's going to be some confusing moments
no matter what happened, it's going to be some uncertainty,
but at least you'll know where you're going. So if
you tied awaking up feeling loss, abandon confuse, don't know
what to do, don't know what you're supposed to be doing,

(09:28):
refer back to your makeup. Because when he created you,
he had a plan for you. When he created you,
he had a path for you. Now we've made some
decisions to get off of both of those. The mission
and the path. But God can get you right back
on track. Do that today, ask him what you're supposed

(09:50):
to be doing, and listen. God has all the answers
if you form the relationship.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, you're listening to the Steed Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (10:04):
All right, everybody, this is the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
I haven't really decided how I was gonna start the

Moving on to Felicity in Topeka, Felicity writes, I have
been seeing a man that is twelve years my junior,
and he's handsome and muscular up top, but lacking down below.
He tries to overcompensate for his shortcomings and is too
much for me to handle. I have a schedule to
keep up with and kids to look after, so I

(24:43):
can't be lying around for hours with him. Is it
cool to tell him to hurry up? Or will he
be offended? Please advise.

Speaker 8 (24:52):
It's not going to fend him if you tell him
to hurry up. What will offend him is you tell
him why he needs to hurry I know why you
putting in all this extra time? Yeah, you know, you know.
Once again, you know what I'm saying. Being on the

(25:15):
other side of this one right here, I can tell.

Speaker 7 (25:17):
You you know what. In my life, I've been too much,
but I ain't never been not enough. I've been.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
Lord, I've been O lawd, but I ain't never been Okay.
I think I think you're gonna have to tell him
to hurry up. You got things to do.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But in a nice way.

Speaker 8 (25:46):
Is he a really great guy? Does he treats you
really well? They treat the kids great? How is he
as a man? You can work through some of these things.
You know some things you can do to speed up
the process.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Moving on to Carolyn and making Georgia, Carolyn says, as
luck would have it, I'm broke again at the wrong
time of the year. I was talking to my coworker
about my issues and he said he could help me
out if I showed him two things. The two things
are right under my chin and he wants to see them.
I've never been propositioned like this, but he said he'd

(26:22):
give me two hundred dollars and that would help me
get my little girl that bite she wants. It is
so terrible. If I show him what if he wants
to pay to see more?

Speaker 7 (26:31):
What you what you what you think is going to
be leading to this?

Speaker 13 (26:36):
Is?

Speaker 8 (26:36):
This is to see what you're willing to do? Now,
if you do this for two hundred dollars, he already
know he got five hundred.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
I mean you.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
Mark hey, though, I mean you go in there and
tell your little girl we ain't getting no bike this year.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
You know many years. I heard that bike. Oh you working?

Speaker 8 (27:00):
I heard stuff like that bike? What's wrong with the
bike you got out there? You're talking about the one
you gave me from the construction site. That bike, Daddy,
that's never been new, like a new bike. Well, I
want a new car. You don't see, No, you don't
see what one sitting out there, dad.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's a lot, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
So every time I asked him for something, he every
time I told my daddy I wanted something, he told
me something he wanted.

Speaker 7 (27:31):
You know, I want a new bike. I want a
new car.

Speaker 8 (27:33):
Yeah, I want to go home. Well, hell, I want
to go home too, But now I got to go
to work. So you can eat what they got to
do with what I said.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
So, Carolyn, I hope you're getting something from this, Okay.

Speaker 8 (27:47):
I mean if you show him to him for two
hundred dollars, the next office fing to be five hundred.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
What you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, and they work together, so that's really not cool.
It's a yeah, really.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
All the way, but two hundred dollars that ain't.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Not ye, yes, one hundred dollars each? Goodness, sureley?

Speaker 7 (28:12):
Oh you didne divided it up?

Speaker 15 (28:14):
Yes, cool, he's horrible, all right, Misty and Rustin Louisiana says,
I'm forty years old and I purchased my first home
for my son and I my son is fifteen years
old and refuses to do the yard work for me.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
He told me that I need to get my boyfriend
to do it, since he's always over there. I lit
into him when he spoke to me that way, and
I called my father to come and talk to him.
My father sided with him. I expected my son to
have pride in his home. So am I wrong to
demand that he do the yard work at this house?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Well, I understand what you're saying. You're exactly right and
feeling what you're feeling. But your fifteen year old son going,
so what just lazy dude doing it? Is coming up
over here sleeping with my mama. See, at fifteen, he
got some feelings about that that you haven't addressed. The
fifteen year old boy is jealous that you're in this
relationship with this man, and he trying to figure out

(29:12):
what's to value him because he don't see him doing
nothing except sleeping with his mama. That's the problem you have,
and them feelings ain't FITNA leave that boy, no time soon.
So the conversation you should have really is with this
man of yours as to what kind of example he's
setting for your son, Because all boys want to be

(29:34):
some type of man. It's gonna be a good man
or a bad man. And right now, that's the example
of manhood that's been put in front of him, and
he don't see much of a man.

Speaker 7 (29:43):
Coming out of him. I was on that talk.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
If you went to the bad if you went to
the boyfriend and said I wish you'd talk to my son,
maybe y'all could do it together or something, it would
mean a lot to him and then you could finally
see what you're dealing with, which doesn't sound like much
or nothing.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
All right, good morning.

It's character you have to mold, and you got to
go through to have stripp You got to go through
things to be o character because what you're asking God for,
he already knows what you need in order to sustain

Speaker 8 (41:08):
Good morning, this is your man Steve Harvey. Have a
happy and a safe holiday from the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. It is time now
to check Steve's voicemail. Eight seven seven twenty nine. Steve,
call him, leave a message. You might just hear your
call on the air, ready.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
Steve, Yeah, all right, here to go.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
This is from d Ray from Dallas.

Speaker 13 (41:34):
Hey, Steve, this mee raise from Dallas. I was calling
because I got him. I got a situation. I need
good older man advice.

Speaker 16 (41:43):
I got a fourteen year old son. Of course he's.

Speaker 13 (41:46):
All into girls and sticks, and of course.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
He already got him some.

Speaker 16 (41:51):
But even though I've already ran everything to him, I
gave it to him, rowling everything even before he had sick.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
It's still not resonating to him.

Speaker 16 (41:59):
And we are young men before. But of course the
divide in the house is need.

Speaker 13 (42:04):
Him and his mama.

Speaker 16 (42:06):
But I get what I'm owns me and as we say,
man is kind of it's a tricky one. But I
also started to think to myself as the advice I
keep getting some other men that have teenagers or acclaimed
it's like the world is transversing into man. It's just
reality and you just got to make it happen. And
I thought we were supposed to be raising these boys

(42:27):
to be better than what we do, because everybody keeps
telling me what.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Was you doing when you know you know how it is,
And I'm like, but.

Speaker 16 (42:34):
If that's what we're supposed to stick with, and it's
becoming a big problem in the house.

Speaker 13 (42:39):
To where you know, mommy and Daddy more Mama really
want to kick him.

Speaker 16 (42:43):
At the house to you know, and all that those
types of stuff, And I'm just confused on it and
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
So I need your help.

Speaker 16 (42:51):
Oh, help your boy out.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
M m I got you. Man.

Speaker 8 (42:57):
If you're a father currently and you have sons, this
is the dilemma. This is the dilemma because you know
what the proving marker is for all boys, and that
is girls. And if you're a heterosexual man, you want
your son quite naturally to gravitate that way towards him girls.

(43:19):
But here is the dilemma. Even though you know it's
going to happen, you don't have to push him in
that direction for it to happen so early, and you
don't have to condone it and reward it, because that's
a dangerous thing to do, especially at fourteen, because this

(43:40):
boy don't even have the capability of understanding the ramifications
of it all and even what it means at fourteen,
he's just doing some reactionary stuff because.

Speaker 7 (43:49):
Of all of us.

Speaker 8 (43:50):
If you remember your first time with the girl, just
think back when the actual moment happened that the whole
thing was supposed to It was rather confusing.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
You didn't really know what was going on.

Speaker 8 (44:02):
Godo, your body was trembling all of a sudden, your
hair stood up on your head, and you were just
as confused, and you didn't know what was going on.
So what I decided to do was to raise my
sons and tell them this, look, man, this is the
life you should live as a respectful man. To be
respectful for young girls. Do not go out here and

(44:23):
do anything you want with these girls and then lead
these girls hold in the bag. You go off to college,
pursue your dreams, and this young girl sitting here with
a baby trying to make it work. I said, bruh,
don't do that, And I've tried to talk to them
about that. At the same time, you know that the
world we live in, they are going to partake in it.

(44:43):
It's no way to avoid this with your children, because
they got the internet, they got peer pressure, They go
to school every day, they spend more time away from
you than they do with you. So all you can
do is hope that your teachings resonate with them while
they away, and then prepare yourself for the mistake that
they are going to make. And they are all going
to make mistakes, and you will feel horrible about it,

(45:06):
and you will think of this as if reflection on
you as parenting, but it's not.

Speaker 7 (45:11):
It's not reflective of you as a parent.

Speaker 8 (45:13):
You can teach your children the right way all you want,
they gonna go out here and make a decision that
goes counter to everything you've ever told them.

Speaker 7 (45:20):
So it's a dilemma. But putting your.

Speaker 8 (45:22):
Boy out the house is not the solution. And I
don't know where she coming with that. If you think
putting them out your house is the solution, you sadly
mistaken about that. Because this boy out here got active
at fourteen, you're gonna put him out? Well, what you're
thinking have now? So you got to talk to your
boy about respect. You got to get him to understand
the way to treat women. And that's it. It's a

(45:46):
tough one, but you got state of course. But raise
your son is the right way, man, Tell them the
right thing. How to be respectful of women, you know,
because you got to remember too. You don't want nobody
doing your daughter like that?

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Do you right?

Speaker 7 (45:59):
Right? Raise your boys accordingly, and the whole protection comed.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
All right, all right, great advice.

Speaker 7 (46:09):

Speaker 7 (54:42):
Is you, Steve Robin Martin show Man?

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Listen, man, hey man. This it's why you say God
did it again. He keep saying it every day, You
keep saying it.

Speaker 7 (54:51):
Over and over.

Speaker 8 (54:51):
He did.

Speaker 11 (54:52):
He woke me up, got another opportunity.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Well, how do you handle somebody that's about say, how
do you know what?

Speaker 7 (54:56):
God?

Speaker 1 (54:56):
It could be me doing this?

Speaker 8 (54:58):
Okay, keep on thinking, man. You know I'm not really
good at the witnessing part.

Speaker 7 (55:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (55:04):
I'm more of a witness through example and a witness
through you know, you look at me and see how
good God is being. But if you're defiant to that,
I'm not really the best Christian for that because I
don't have time. I just really don't have time to
address a person that thinks it's them.

Speaker 7 (55:23):
And not God. I really don't know.

Speaker 8 (55:25):
Look, I'm not going to get into a debate with
you about it, as I oftentimes see people do.

Speaker 7 (55:30):
That's just not my strong suit because me.

Speaker 8 (55:33):
Personally, if you don't believe in God, I think you
a fool. I think you're a complete idiotic fool. I
think you're an imbelcome. But then I'm pretty sure if
you're an atheist, you must feel the same way about
me and other people who believe in God. How can
you believe in this unseen power? How can you believe

(55:54):
in this? I got a lot of proof. But if
you think I'm a fool, and I think you a fool,
like I said on Piers Morgan that time, I just
don't think two fools ought to be standing around talking
to Steve Harby Morris.

We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Thank you, nephew. Subject trying to get through the holidays.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm in love with another man, and
I just need to make it through the holidays with
my current boyfriend so I can dump him and get
with the new guy. But I need your advice before
I let a sure thing go and move on to
a fairy tale lover. I don't want to leave my

(57:03):
current boyfriend just yet because he is getting my breaks
fixed on my car and he's getting me a bracelet
that I want for Christmas. I already saw it hiding
in his drawer, so I'm doing all I can to
stay faithful until the new year. My new man is
in a similar situation, but he's married. He advised me

(57:24):
to stay put while he lets his marriage fizzle on out.
He and his wife don't have any children, so he
can make a clean break. We've been looking at apartments together,
but I told him we might be moving too soon
by choosing to move in together. I agree that I
will put the apartment and all of the utilities in
my name until his divorce is finalized. I told my

(57:46):
sister about my excitement over the new guy, and she
wanted to meet him, but he said it's best to
not invite family into our messed up situation until he's
out of his marriage. My sister took that as a
bad sign that he's going to have me staying in
an apartment all by myself and he's going to come
over and have sex with me and go right back

(58:07):
to his wife. I don't think that's the case, because
this guy is the one that initiated everything. He pursued
me and told me I deserve to be treated like
a queen. Meanwhile, my boyfriend does not take me out anymore,
and he never wants to have sex. All he does
is ask me to be patient with him because he's
working on a master plan for us. It's been three

(58:27):
years and he's not even ready to live together.

Speaker 7 (58:30):
Do I start with.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
My prince or stay with this bump? All right? I
know we've said this before about a lot of strawberry letters.
But I think this is one of the truly dumbest
letters we've had. And I hope the men that are
listening don't think all women are like this, because we
are not. It's wrong what you're doing to your current boyfriend,

(58:52):
who doesn't take you out anymore, who doesn't want to
have sex with you. Maybe he knows about the man
that you have, this married man. Just say, if you
don't want your boyfriend, let him go. You ask for
advice about leaving your current boyfriend before you let a
sure thing go. And here it is. I mean, he
said he's just waiting for his marriage to fizzle out.

(59:15):
I mean, do you hear how stupid that sounds. There's
no end date, no nothing, no papers in the works, nothing.
Then you volunteer to put the apartment and all of
the utilities in your name. Now, why would you do that?
Why would you do that for a man who's married.
You said he pursued you and said you should.

Speaker 7 (59:34):
Be treated like a queen.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Well, yes you should, we all should, but this is
not queen treatment. A queen wouldn't accept any of this mess.
There are way too many red flags here. Your sister
saw them, right, away when he said he didn't want
to meet her until he got out of his marriage.
That sounded like a cop out to her, but not
to you. You are still making excuses for him. Listen,

(59:57):
this married man is gonna do just That's what your
sister said. If he's that into you, then then why
not get out of his marriage then get with you,
and you should back off until he gets out of
his marriage. You're you're talking about making all these moves
and he's not available. Okay, he is not available for

(01:00:17):
you to do this right now, so don't do it.

Speaker 9 (01:00:20):
Steve.

Speaker 7 (01:00:23):
I'm so sickreous, I'm tired, I'm time.

Speaker 8 (01:00:27):
I'm gonna just tell you all right now, after I
do this strawberry letter, I'm gonna go in there and
lay down, you know, because I'm tired. I don't know
what to keep telling y'all. I don't know why y'all
keep trying me. But today today, though today ain't today.

(01:00:49):
I ain't the one fault today. Let's just get into it.
I'm telling you nothing but raw, raw truth, a w truth.
I'm in love with another man, Okay. I just need
to make it through the holidays with my current boyfriend.

(01:01:12):
So I can dump him and get with the new guy. Wow,
this letter got stupid rode on it so far, because
right now we just talking about a boyfriend. This ain't
even a marriage, and I can dump him to get
the new guy. But I need your advice and hear
where I come here at before I let a sure

(01:01:33):
thing go and move on to a fairy tale level.
So we gonna let go of the sure thing to
go to the fairy tale level. But let's find out
a little bit about this show thing in this fairy
tale level.

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
I don't want to leave. Listen to this reason right here.

Speaker 8 (01:01:49):
I don't want to leave my carent boyfriend just yet,
because he's getting my breaks fixed on my car and
he give me a bracelet I want for Christmas.

Speaker 7 (01:01:58):

You done put your life on hold so you can
get some breaks and a bracelet. I'm gonna tell you
right now you ain't worth it. I'm just gonna tell
you that you're not. You are so cheap you're worth

I can to be stay faithful until the new year.

the Embraceleting breaks. That's all that take to be and

What does that mean? I'm gonna let my marriage fizzle
own out?

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
Girl? This ain't a birthday counterla.

You can't just wait till your marriage fizzle out. This
ain't one of them sparkless we used to have when
we was kids. You know, you lighting, you waving around
till it's fizzle out. This is marriage. This ain't no firecracker.
This is marriage. He can't just let it fizzle out.
He got to go to court and they got something

(01:06:11):

been doing is looking at apartments. He can't move in
with you cause the marriage ain't fizzled our chet, it's
still sparkling.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
Show dumb self.

Speaker 8 (01:07:03):
I agreed that I will put the apartment in all
the utilities in my name until his divorce is finalized.
They gonna stay in your name even if he do
get a divorce. Who who switch?

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Who?

Speaker 8 (01:07:19):
Switched names on apartments and electric bills and all that? Girl,
I can't believe you this signat. I told my sister
about my excitement over the new guy, and she wanted
to meet me. But he said it's best not to
invite family into our messed up situation. That's a true
statement until he's out of his marriage. My sister took

(01:07:40):
that as a bad sign. Your sister stupid too. She
took the fact that he didn't want to meet her
as a bad sign. You don't think the bad sign
is he married? Ain't that ain't a bad sign? Also, y'all.

(01:08:01):
Y'all think the bad sign is he didn't won't meet you.
The bad sign is he married and he told you
he waiting on his marriage to fizzle out. They ain't
got no kids yet, so they're gonna make a clean break.
Let me show you how this marriage fit in a fizzle.

(01:08:22):
She fit to get pregnant because the wife don't know
nothing about this. This is him telling you that the
marriage is fizzling out. I promise you that the wife's
sitting over there thinking everything is honky doing. I promise
you that. I promise you that all men that's married
that's trying to have an affair with a woman gonna
tell him something wrong at the house. That's the opening

(01:08:47):
line because we play on the fact that you all
are nurturers by nature and y'all always want to fix something.

Speaker 7 (01:08:55):
Let me hear him get through with this.

Speaker 8 (01:08:59):
I don't think that it's the case because this guy's
one that initiated everything. Wait a minute, you don't think
that's the case because he initiated everything.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Curl you.

Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
He pursued me and told me that I deserve to
be treated like a queen. Well, you're not getting treated
like a queen, though you don't see that. Meanwhile, my
boyfriend does not take me out anymore, and he never
wants to have sex. That's because he having sex somewhere else.
Y'all been together three years. All you getting is your

(01:09:32):
breaks fixed and a bracelet. You ain't getting no wed
and ring because you having sex with somebody else. Let
me tell you how stupid this is. You're in the
movie Dumb and Dumber. Your boyfriend is dumb, your married
boyfriend is dumb up, and you the hand signed.

Coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right
after this.

Speaker 12 (01:13:42):
Everybody is your favorite play cousin, Junr. We want to
thank you for rocket with the Steve Harvey Morning Show
all year long. It is the holiday season and we
want to wish you a very merry Christmas for the
Steve Harry Morning Show and especially for your favorite play
cousin man.

Speaker 11 (01:13:55):
I love y'all. Happy holidays.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
You're listening.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Took the Steve Harvey Morning Show, all right. See this
is from Haley in Tampa. Haley says, I'm a thirty
year old teacher in my fiance's twelve year old son
transferred to my school so I can keep an eye
on him. The first time I addressed his son's grades,
the son got mad at me and told his teacher

(01:14:20):
that his dad still spends the night with his mom
sometimes because he wants her back. When I told my
fiance about that, he didn't say a word to his son.
He said, it's a cry for help and we need
to let him heal from their divorce in his own way.
Does that sound right to you?

Speaker 7 (01:14:43):
Right there?

Speaker 8 (01:14:45):
I'm so proud of him. I'm just man a man.

Speaker 7 (01:14:55):
That one right there? Srey read his response, so.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
She's he says, when I told my fiance about it,
he didn't say a word to his son. He said,
it's a cry for help, and we need to let
him heal from their divorce in his own way.

Speaker 8 (01:15:09):
Yes, it's a cry for help and we need to
let him heal from this divorce in his own way.

Speaker 7 (01:15:20):
Lord, do you know.

Speaker 8 (01:15:22):
What he did with that lie? Let me tell you
how how great this one is. First of all, he
created a pathway by using his son's pain to allow
him to show concern and put the focus on the
boy's mental health.

Speaker 7 (01:15:42):
Lord Hemmerton, come on.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
And then at the same time never ever addressed the
accusation at hand, Lord Hemberson, Boy, let me tell you
something I ain't mentioned.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
Spending the ninth won the woman back. None of that that.

Speaker 8 (01:16:02):
Didn't even come up because the focus has been the
chows mental health, and with mental health issues being at
the forefront.

Speaker 7 (01:16:13):
Of our society, I just want you can.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
Use it to Peter, it's wrong to use it, but.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
It is wrong to use it out y'all over here.

Speaker 8 (01:16:29):
Problem inspired me because the next time what you say
anything to me, I'm goin to talk about the mental
health of our ship.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
All right, I think we have time for another one.
This is from Peter Peter s f M. Peter says,
I want to I went out after work with a
group of co workers. We got lit. I told my
wife that I misplaced my keys. So I was getting
a ride home from a coworker. Uh, Jalen from a coworker, Jalen.

(01:17:06):
I was home in bed next to my wife when
my phone rang. I had to answer it, and it
was my coworker Lisa, letting me know that they found
my keys. My wife heard the whole call. She thinks
I was out cheating on her with a white lady.
I showed her my receipt and everything. She's not buying it.
What do I do?

Speaker 7 (01:17:27):

of them children.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
See their closing remarks are back as well.

Speaker 7 (01:25:30):
What you have for us, here we go. Here's a suggestion.

Speaker 8 (01:25:35):
Here, Here's what I came up with for today, a
suggestion or something I've learned that has helped me out
dramatically in accomplishing my goals and attaining my dreams. I
still have things I'm after, still have goals that I've
not yet met and dreams that i haven't seen come

(01:25:55):
true yet. But I'm working on them and I know
they will, and I know they will because I have
mastered one technique of how to do it. I'm gonna
share it with you right now. If you are wanting
something from God, this is just for spiritual people. If
you're not a spiritual person, you can go do what

(01:26:16):
you want to do right now. Only this is for
people who believe in God. When I want something for God,
when I'm trying to reach a certain goal or fulfill
a dream or attain something, I never go about it
without his help. You know the things that I do

(01:26:38):
that on my own, I'm just doing them you know,
like you know, I don't know. Simple stuff, you know,
like make sure I got water in my office so
I can drink enough.

Speaker 7 (01:26:47):
I don't. I can do that, right.

Speaker 8 (01:26:51):
But let's say I have an aspiration or dream that's
pretty big, as are most of mine, and as should
yours be. You should dream as big as you possibly can.
You should let your imagination lead you into the life
that God has for you. Now, the way to do
that is to first of all, ask, because the scripture

(01:27:13):
says you have not because you ask not.

Speaker 7 (01:27:16):
And then you have to believe.

Speaker 8 (01:27:19):
You have to have faith that God can do anything
but fail. The third thing you need is a work ethic,
an unrelenting work ethic. There is a scripture that says
faith without works is dead. So after you ask for
this incredible dream or visional goal that you have, and

(01:27:41):
you put the faith in it, the belief, you got
to work because faith without works is dead.

Speaker 7 (01:27:48):
Okay, cool?

Speaker 8 (01:27:49):
Now, the best way to accomplish your dreams and gifts,
First of all, you should tie it to your I
mean your goals and gifts. Your goals and dreams, you
have to tie it to your gift. Everything should be
tied to your gift. Now, if you wan an airplane
or go on special trips has nothing to do with
your gift. But the route that you're gonna get to
this goal and to this dream has to be tied

(01:28:12):
to your gift.

Speaker 7 (01:28:14):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:28:14):
Now, once you do that and you ask God for
something that's impossible, be careful who you share it with
because sharing things from your imagination is not always in
your best interest. Because your imagination is yours and yours alone.
Other people can't see it, they don't see no way how.

(01:28:37):
They just start shooting it down. But when you do
ask God for this incredible thing, listen to me. The
how too is none of your business. Let me repeat that.
When you ask God for your visions, your goals, your dreams,

(01:28:58):
your aspirations, and you believe he'll do it, and you're
willing to work as hard as you can to accomplish it,
that's all that's required of you. The how too is
none of your business. Get out of the way. The
reason there is no scripture that tells us as people
to figure it out is because if you're asking God

(01:29:21):
for something so big, you got to leave it up
to him. You gotta let him handle it. The how
to is not any of your business. The how too
is not up to you. It's up to your faith
and your belief in a higher power. Stop tripping on

(01:29:43):
the how too. It ain't your business. The reason the
how to is not up to you. I have found
in my life is for this reason right here, because
my ways and my understanding is not enough to get
me to where I want to go, be half and

(01:30:03):
attained to where I want to go be half n attained.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
My ways and my understanding is not.

Speaker 8 (01:30:13):
Enough because I'm asking God for something so huge that
I don't know how to get it, but I know
that he does. You can't even fathom his ways. You
can quit tripping. You can save yourself a lot of time.
You can't google his ways. You don't know the route

(01:30:33):
he's gonna take. You don't know how he's gonna touch
certain people's hearts along the way. You don't know how
he's gonna move people into position to get you exactly
what you need, when you need it, and how you
need it. You have no idea what God is going
to do and how he's going.

Speaker 7 (01:30:50):
To do it.

Speaker 8 (01:30:51):
So why trouble yourself with the how too? Because it
ain't your business? The how too is not up to you.
And the reason is not up to you is because
when you ask for something so great that you absolutely
have to have God's help to get it, your ways
and understanding is not enough. You won't be able to
accomplish it because you can't even fathom his ways. You

(01:31:16):
have no idea how He's going to go about it.
You're clueless. You can't move the pieces the way God can't.
You can't do it man. As a matter of fact,
if you try, you're all in the way. Now you're
gonna mess it up. You are now blocking the blessing
with concerning yourself with the how to. The how to

(01:31:38):
is none of your business. You have to ask, believe,
and be willing to work your tail off. That's how
you accomplish it in life, and the how tools you'll.
