Steve Harvey got a radio show. I say it every
day because God been good to me. God has done
some things in my life that's truly been just amazing.
It really amazing. Ain't even really the word. They don't
really have a word for what He's done for me.
I'm just out of superlatives. That's why I say it
every day. Steve Harvey got a radio show because God

(02:31):
is in a blessing business.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah he is. God.

God can help you turn your life around. Did you

Whatever you're going through. God has an answer for it.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
See.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
But it's to going through to get some store, ain't it?
Because I was having a moment yesterday and I set
my wife down. I said, Babe, I just need to
talk to you. Going through a little bit right now.
I just wanted to share which I'm a little down
right now. And my wife reminded me. She just reminded me, See,
this is what a man, this is what a good
mate does. A good mate reminds you just of things

(03:09):
that sometimes you forget when you get off track. Because
you know, I consider myself a motivational type person. I
try to listen to people and then give them something
I've learned along the way on this journey I've been on.
I try to give a person a takeaway. But even
being that person, sometimes I get off track myself. I

(03:30):
get a little low sometimes, you know, I get a
little down. Sometimes I sometimes I forget some of the stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I say. It ain't that I forget it. I guess
I just get.

Speaker 7 (03:41):
Caught up in the grind of doing it, and sometimes
I get I get a little off course and I
forget some of the things that my wife or a
mate can be good.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
For you to remind you. And she just says, Steve,
God got us.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
She said, have you notice that every time you get
in a spot, and she say, and I know how
you must feel, because you're out here working and you keep.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Turning around and.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
Old stuff keep popping up, and you get a call
from your account and hear this and went wrong and
that then when you study trying to fix it.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
But you steady going, wold man, what is this? She say?
But you ever notice he.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
Always always, no matter what, provide a way, and he
ain't ever too late.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh, you might be going. The deadline is approaching.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
The deadline can come and pass, but then they have
a grace period for you.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
And then sometimes man.

Speaker 7 (04:38):
It's just you go down there after the grace period
and they take the payment anyway, and you're good anyway.
But see, ain't that God bringing you through it. It
may not be when you want it, but he right
on time. Jazz before you get put out, jazz, before
they turn. Maybe they cut the lights off, but you
get it back ones faux company come or just before

(04:58):
the weekend, get here. See, he always comes through for you.
And she had to remind me of that what you
going through is necessary. Look, circumstance and hardships and pitfalls
are always untimely.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
If you keep the law of attraction in play.

Speaker 7 (05:17):
If you keep believing that, that's that He gonna see
you through this, just like he do when you don't
believe it.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's what the old part is though, ain't it.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
Ain't God brought you through even when you didn't really
have the faith to say he was gonna bring you through.
But because of grace and mercy he brought you through anyway.
But because you forgot to thank him, or you didn't
pay attention through to come through, you just was telling people, Oh, man,
if you the same. It was so jacked up. Man,
I was so turned up. I ain't know what I

(05:48):
was gonna do. I almost got put out. I was
gonna see key word almost, And you forgot that part
right there, and then I was it looked like I wan man.
And then and it seemed like every month I go
through this same thing and then down.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah. Then somebody ought to just say did you pay it? Yeah?
I paid it? Did you get put out?

Speaker 8 (06:06):
Now?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I'm cool?

Speaker 7 (06:07):
See See, you need somebody on your shoulder to say
that to you, and then you need somebody to come
right behind him and go, man, ain't God good?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Really? Man? That's how this works.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
See you keep getting in situations, but He keep getting
you out.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Now if you jump, look, listen to me, hold on,
hold on.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Let's say you in a frying pad in the skillet
and the ail is up and you in that frying
and you uncomfortable being fried God somehow. Or let's just
say you managed to get out of the hot grease
in the frying pan, and you standing there next to
the skillet looking at the fire, continue to heat the grease,

(06:48):
you get out, and then for some unexplainable reason, you
dives right on back in there. Ain't that how we
usually do it? I'm just asking God, get you away
from the man you've been asking to get away from.
Then you go right back over there and stars.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Seeing even again. It's amazing how many times God get
us out the fire and we walked right back in there.
Ain't it amazing?

Speaker 9 (07:16):
Man?

Speaker 7 (07:17):
I mean, really, man, see this how I break life
down for me so I don't get over here stuck on,
stupid with myself and then get to doing something ignorant
like blaming God when really, man, God has given us,
as human beings, the power of decision, and we all
make decisions.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
How many times? Man? See? Sometimes it's a blessing in
getting locked up.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
You can ask a lot of cats I know, man
to tell you it was a blessing for me, man,
because I was just headed the wrong way, steady, but
he locked me up, set me down, made me miss
my family. Being out here being a free man, made
me realize that my family was important.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Made me.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Man, really see this girl for what she was. When
I get out, Man, I'm on the straight and narrow.
Well then when you're get out though, See you can't
be talking about no oh man, I can't find no job.
Now I'm gonna go and do what I gotta do. No, no, no, no, no, partner,
you got to do now what you're supposed to do.
See that don't do what you gotta do got you
in trouble in the first place. See everybody, see see

(08:16):
the hood got a lot of ignorant rules. We done
create it.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I gotta do what I gotta do. I gotta feed
my family. Well, the only reason you gotta do what
you gotta do is because you didn't do what you
were supposed to do. See if you just went on
to school like you Mama kept telling you.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Ah, Man, I was watching forty eight hours yesterday and
the dude named Nesto was on that and Nesto Latino
dude said, Man, my mother told me quit hanging with
these guys.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
They were gonna nothing but trouble. I should have listened
to her. He doing thirty years right now. You can't
blame God. That's why I talk to myself this way,
so I don't get stupid and start shifting to blame
the wrong way when it's really on me. How many times.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Has God got you out of something and you walk
right back into it? Man, why don't you take these
blessings God give you and go on about your business.
That'd be the best way to do it, don't you
think That's what I think? So I thank God my
wife for reminding me that God got us anyway, that
God gonna pull you through anyway.

Speaker 9 (09:18):
That.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Have you noticed, Steve, we ain't lost a beat.

Speaker 10 (09:21):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
I know it's hard out here, but really you ain't
lost a beat. You still moving forward, You still dressing nice,
You still look good when you come into that job.
Everybody don't got to know you. Your house is in
bad shape, and all that God got you. Man, if
you just hold your head up, man, quit complaining all
the time bout what you ain't got, And as in

(09:43):
words of my daddy, Slick Harvey, stop talking about what
you ain't got and take a good look at what
you do.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
God.

Speaker 7 (09:48):
That's improper grammar, but that always stuck with me and
maybe it'll stick with you.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Quit talk about and looking at what you ain't God,
take a good look at what you do. God.

Speaker 11 (09:57):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, you know what as expected.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (10:12):
I don't know how to put this to you today,
that God Almighty, that it just ain't.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
No words for it.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
He just does it over and over and over again
to us, getting to the point where, see, you think
it's just regular, like it's normal. But I'm telling you
the fact that he raises that sun up every day,
sets it in the west every evening, controls the wind
and the weather. The fact that he gave you life again,

(10:43):
that you do not have control over every single breath
you take and how long you'll be breathing. The fact
that he's done it, done it again is nothing short
of miraculous. And this every day, a daily miracle occurs.
But because it occurs every day, we just set up
here a ticket for Granted, I'm not doing that. I'm

(11:05):
thanking him for today, for breathing, for air, for health,
for strength, for my position, for where I am, thank
God for I ain't where I was. Thank God even
kept me, strengthening me. All of that. That's called grantitude.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Man.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
We need to get with that. We tripping Steve.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
Harvey Morning Show, Charlie Strawberry, Color for Real, Mississippi, Monica Junior,
and the Legend of Nephew Tommy. The reason I don't
say the Legend of Steve Harvey is because it's not
for me to say. And after watching Eddie Murphy's Netflix documentary,

(11:51):
I'm gonna go somewhere and sit down. Ladies, give me
Juli's on your mind.

Speaker 12 (11:58):
Let me ask you this man, that question. How do
you keep your walk with God vibrant in your life?

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. You you you
don't have a real honest conversation.

Speaker 13 (12:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
The way I keep my walk vibrant is I stay
in something. It's all life be life in me.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
Man.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
I don't know what it is, but you know, I
guess to whom much is given, much is required them requirements.
Just keep my walk vibrant. I'm in constant need of God.
I ain't got no time to drift off, because if
I drift off, man, it seems like the f See

(12:39):
here's what's killing me. The forces of evil out there
is so big today that if you don't stay vibrant
with God, life gonna get vibrant with you. So just
life itself keeps me vibrant with God, because there's always
something going on.

I don't understand whilst y'all have a meeting about my
kids in the church, what my kids got to do
with the church.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Well, what we're trying to do is show a good
example to the youth that we got there.

Speaker 10 (17:32):
Okay, you can show a good example by me being there,
paying my tithes and offering.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Well, that's another thing that's been brought down attention that
that we're gonna be calling a lot of members about it.
People not paying the tithe and where they fold.

that we don't know exactly what you make?

Speaker 2 (18:17):

Speaker 10 (18:19):
What I make is my business between me and Jesus.
I give him his ten percent and that's all marks

would appreciate if you would have pastor to tell me
this hisself. And then second of all, if somebody kids
is having trouble in the world or whatever, y'all supposed
to pray for them, not put them at the.

pastor to call me hisself and tell me I can't

Speaker 7 (29:23):

Speaker 1 (30:08):
One of Tommy spanks.

Speaker 19 (30:09):
Okay, somebody jokes to wear spanks.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
All right, come on the top of the hour.

Speaker 11 (30:25):
It wasn't it wasn't a secret. I will have entertainment
news for you right after this.

Speaker 14 (30:31):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 11 (30:39):
All right, guys, So President Trump is now suddenly urging
Republicans in Congress to vote in favor of releasing the
so called Epstein files. President Trump made a surprising U
turn on Sunday night, posting that Republicans should vote in
favor of telling the Justice Department to release all of
the government files tied to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

(31:03):
Trump posted untruth truth, Social House Republicans should vote to
release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide
and it's time to move on from this. Get this
democratic hoax perpetuated by radical left lunatics in order to
deflect from the great success of the Republican Party.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
Trump's I can promise you this. If Trump is truly
saying this, that that boy, that boy cash for Tail,
who he didn't put in the FBI to scrub them files.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, that's what I say.

Speaker 7 (31:43):
Hey, data went in that and took everything with Trump
name in it out.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
That's why he's on board.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
That's why he's saying you can have it.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
You can.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
We have nothing to hide.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
Tell you something because a minute ago, and let me
tell you something. Man, he in them files because of
the emails. But I ain't saying he did nothing. I'm
just saying he in.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Now the files. All right, But if you in NAT
though you did something.

Speaker 11 (32:18):
Yeah, Because it's a definite reversal from his earlier stance.
After Democrats began publishing selected documents that included references to Trump,
like you just said, Steve, he has consistently denied any
involvement in Epstein's crimes.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
So there you go. Yeah. See, I don't trust this
new right, this whole process.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
They've had these files too long, they've scowled them files
top to bottom.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
I can promise you something is taken out.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah, yep, yep.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Because this is not a democratic hoax.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
No, it's not. This brought on by the radical left lunatics.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
No, man, this is.

Speaker 7 (33:15):
This is a foul full of rich, wealthy, influential white
men who have been to this man's island participating in
sexually deviate behavior with children. And that's really what it is.

Speaker 7 (40:37):
Hey, Hey, when you walking around the buffet and you
see anybody touch your dish, that's a good sign.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
So everybody's your ain't moving.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
If your dish ain't moving, everybody and they whispering about it.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Trust me.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
I had an aunt that used to love. She thought
her yellow mold was the bomb. But she made it
like a white yellow and with little red chunks of
stuff in it. So it was her version of a fruitcake.
It was the worst.

Speaker 11 (41:11):
Thirty four minutes after the hour, Eddie Murphy talked about
the cancel culture and he might go back to stand up.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
We'll talk about that right after this.

Speaker 14 (41:19):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 11 (41:27):
During an interview with Extra and the Hollywood Reporter, Eddie
Murphy talked about cancel culture. He says, I can't think
of a comedian that said a joke that made them
get canceled. I feel like that whole canceled thing was
just a moment in time where people were like, comics
have to be careful what they say. Eddie also said

(41:47):
that he might return to stand up. I'll take a listen.

Speaker 9 (41:50):
I've seen a couple of comedians I've seen got a
funny dah. I saw him up, he was doing stand
up and he fell out on the stage. So comics
was falling out. I was like, but that's all past now,
and now I'm open to it again. And if it
ever struck me that I could have some fun doing.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
It, I get up there and do it again. That's
just have to.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
One day wake up and be like this.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
It seems like a fun thing to do.

Speaker 11 (42:16):
Okay, all right, So Tommy and Junior, you guys are
out almost every week. What do you think I would
love to cancel cancel culture and things.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Are we past that?

Speaker 8 (42:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:29):
I mean you're still doing stand up.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
We're still walking that line. Were still walking that the
in line with this whole cancel thing. We still we
still we're still not touching on certain subjects. So let's
trust me. There's still some subjects out there we are
you are censoring Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I can't mess up nothing. I can't. I got TV show.
I ain't messing up nothing.

Speaker 13 (42:52):
I'm not since myself. I'm just not talking about that.
Everything else. I'm live. I'm going live on my life.

Speaker 7 (42:59):
I think counsel culture is still real. Me personally, I think, well, no,
it's not that I disagree with Eddie. I understand where
he coming from from from hisself. But because Eddie's not
tied to anything that you can counsel what you're gonna
counsel Eddie doing.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Look, so he has a different perspective.

Speaker 7 (43:22):
Now, if there's a comedian today who is on TV,
on radio doing movies that says any of the stuff
that Dave Chapelle said in his two Netflix specials.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
You're gone, You're Gone.

Speaker 7 (43:40):
So, but I agree with what Eddie's saying is I
ain't heard the comedian say nothing that he should be
counseled for. I ain't heard nothing that you should be
counseled for.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
So do you think so you're saying that? Isn't it?

Speaker 8 (43:58):
Though?

Speaker 3 (43:58):
With cancel culture, you can be ansel regardless of if
you have a sponsored deal.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
You know, if you're on teav Yes, absolutely so you
know what I'm saying, you can get canceled altogether. And people,
if you.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
Have right, if you have anything that's sponsorship driven, you
are in the lane of the councel culture.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Now, if you're not sponsorship.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Driven that what he said.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
If you're not, Tommy can go out here and say
what he wants to exactly right.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
And so do you. So my question is, so.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
With you forget sometimes we have to remind you every minute,
but Tommy remind him every now. But is there What
I'm saying is if you don't have that, you could
be a big time comedian star and not have these
network deals. You could still be canceled. Correct.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
James Chappelle can't be canceled. Bill Burr can't be canceled.
That great stand ups. Yeah, but they can stay. They
say whatever they want to say. They can't be canceled
because they're subscription based, not sponsorship based.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Can cancel you.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
What I'm saying is people, not what I'm saying is people,
your audience can cancel you.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
That's what I'm right.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
But but but but but who has had that happen?
Everybody everybody has had everybody has had and a particular
audience that has been mad as something you said. I
got in trouble before with little people I got. I
got in trouble with that studio, with Asian people before.

(45:50):

single wedding ceremony that he officiated is basically null and void. So,
and I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but you and al Thea, even though you think you've
been married for nine years, you guys are not married
at all.

Speaker 15 (48:55):
No, no, no, no, that that you gotta have the
wrong person, because me and that we had got married
by nine years ago.

Speaker 17 (49:01):
And what I'm telling you is he never was ordained.
He's never been an ordained minister. He's not a minister
at all. So when he performed this ceremony, your a
wedding ceremony, he had no right to be doing that.
You guys are not are not married. You know, you

(49:22):
guys have been living in sin for nine years.

Speaker 15 (49:24):
Hold on, hold on that.

Speaker 8 (49:26):
Let me tell you something. I ain't been living in offense.
Me and my wife we have been married for nine years.
And dead man he's a preacher. I'm telling you he's
a preacher.

Speaker 15 (49:34):
Last Funday, Sir.

Speaker 17 (49:36):
As of today, he has no right to be in
anybody's pull pit. He has no right to be officiating,
whether it's weddings or funerals, no matter what it is,
christenings for children. He's not allowed to do that. And
we have officially stopped him from doing anything serving under
as being a pastor or a minister. We have stopped

(49:57):
at But what I want you to know is that
you have been being in sin and you don't. We
want to try and get you guys married as soon
as possible, so you're not living in sin.

Speaker 8 (50:07):
Oh no, dog, I have been living in those sin.
I have been married for nine years. This woman shit
have been taking care of me and my kids for
the past nine Wait, wait a minute minute.

Speaker 17 (50:17):
You guys have children.

Speaker 15 (50:20):
Yeah, yeah, we got two kids, two beautiful kids.

Speaker 17 (50:23):
Okay, then those kids are bastards.

Speaker 15 (50:25):
Hold on, hold on, let me tell you something. My
kids ain't no baskets. What about your kids?

Speaker 8 (50:29):
Your kids ambassors, No.

Speaker 17 (50:30):
Sir, my kids were born in wedlock. Your kids have
been born out.

Speaker 8 (50:35):
I'm telling you that man did my service and he
is a preacher. He's a man after God's own heart himself.
He hasn't done everything that he could have for me
and my family.

Speaker 17 (50:46):
He is a preacher, Sir. I know it's hard for
you to to swallow the truth, but I want you
to know, and I need you to be able to
tell our theater you guys are not married and not
as of right now.

Speaker 8 (50:57):
No, no, okay, so on now, back in the older days,
but before all these all these colleges and stuff came
came about, you telling me that their men baking old days,
that they wasn't no preachers, that they wasn't men after
the colu Is that what you're saying to me?

Speaker 17 (51:15):
What are you? What are you? What are you? What
are you getting at? Sir?

Speaker 15 (51:18):
What I'm trying to say is back in the older day,
baking the twenties and thirties, they didn't have all these
colleges and all these degrees and stuff like these new
preachers got these days, that man now he was from
back then, and God called them and that's what they
went on too. And all them people that they married
back then, they did the same thing today. You don't
need no degree to say that you're a preacher. You

(51:38):
don't need no life to say you're a preacher. Me
and my wife we've been married for nine years.

Speaker 8 (51:42):
My kids have been born any wedlock. We were married
we were married by reverend, My friends and family day
was all.

Speaker 17 (51:49):
There, sir. The bottom line is that you have been
living in sin because you have not been married with
your wife for the last nine years. And your kids,
I hate to say it, your he's a bastards now
an't on now?

Speaker 8 (52:02):

understand me. You won't get me up, sir.

Speaker 17 (52:11):
I'm trying to give you the truth and try to
get you in here and get you married so you
will not be living in sin any more than what
you are.

Speaker 8 (52:17):
I'm living in those sins. Look now, you gonna make

We got it for you here it is strawberry.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Let up all right, nephew, thank you. Subject.

Speaker 11 (56:51):
Am I marrying a man or a child? Dear Stephen Shirley.
I'm getting married in eight months, and I can't help
but think that I'm marrying a little boy instead of
a man. We are both twenty six years old, and
although he handles business well in public, at home, he
doesn't help me do anything. I grew up in a
home with both of my parents, and they were partners

(57:12):
that helped each other do everything. My dad cooked clean,
went to all of my activities at school, and worked
a part time job so I could go to college.
My fiance was raised by his mom and his grandmom.
He was catered to his entire life. His mom even
bought most of his clothes until he and I got
engaged and I told her I could help him pick

(57:34):
out his clothes. Now, luckily his mother. His mom has
great style and he was always dressed nicely. His grandma
did all of the cooking, so he can barely make
his own sandwich. His mom even joked that if I
didn't start spoiling him, they would come over and do
it for me. I told his mom that I didn't
find that funny at all. My fiance moved in with

(57:56):
me a few weeks ago, and that's when I noticed
how needy he is. He doesn't want to learn how
to cook, and when I asked him to sort his
clothes for the laundry, he didn't know that whites don't
go on the washer with darks. He often talks about
us having children, but I can't imagine having to take
care of children while I'm raising a grown man. I

(58:18):
overheard him telling his mom that I put pressure on
him to clean, cook and do this and do that.
I don't want him to think I'm nagging him, but
he needs a crash course on being the man of
the house real fast. I never thought it would be
this big of a problem. Is it best to postpone
the wedding until he grows up? Yes, yes it is, Yes,

(58:39):
most definitely. You cannot marry this man. You can't If
you do. These same problems that you've written Steve and
I about today will be going on in the marriage.
You're talking about a man who can't even pick his
own clothes. You said that. I really don't see what,
if anything, you guys have in common.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
You were raised differently.

Speaker 11 (59:00):
You had both parents who set a good example for
you and him. He was raised by his mom and
by his grandmother. He didn't have a father to teach
him how to be a man or a husband. And
please don't think you can change him, because that's not
going to happen.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
He is who he is.

Speaker 11 (59:16):
He doesn't see a need to change. He's already complaining
to his mom about you wanting him to cook and clean,
and that's not going to stop because you got papers.
It's only going to get worse. So yes, postponing or
calling this wedding off is an excellent idea, because I
don't think you guys are a good match at all, Steve.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Let's go to the bottom of this letter.

Speaker 7 (59:42):
The bottom of the letter says, is it best to
postpone the wedding till he grows up? Here's another part
of the letter at the bottom. I don't want him
to think I'm nagging, but he needs a crash course
on being the man of the house real fast. I
never thought it would be this big of a problem.

(01:00:02):
Is it best to postpone the wedding till he grows up? Well,
let me ask you a basic question right here, right now,
what are you marrying him for?

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
What is the purpose of this union?

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:00:21):
Look, I don't tell people how to live their life
because I've done everything crazy. I don't tell people wait
till they get married because I do have moved into
I'm done, tried it all.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
But when you move in.

Speaker 7 (01:00:34):
And it don't go right, I will refer you to
something a man told me in a premarital counseling course.
He said, son, the only thing that changes in people
after they are married is the appearance of their left
hand third finger. Everything you saw before you gonna see

(01:00:59):
f Everything they did before they will do after. So
my question to you, young lady, is what are you
marrying him for I think they said they're both twenty six. Yeah,
you're mature, he's not. You're marrying somebody. What t traits

(01:01:22):
did you want in a man that he's exhibiting to you?
I don't see it nowhere in the thing. He handles
business well in public, What do that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
At home? He doesn't help me do anything.

Speaker 7 (01:01:39):
Then you talk about how you grew up in a
home with both your parents and they both split up
the chores and cleaned and washed, and your dad was
at all your school activities.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
He cooked.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
You know, my fiance was raised by his mom and
his grandmom. He was catered to his entire life.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Now, this is the part I don't understand.

Speaker 7 (01:02:02):
His mama bought most of his clothes until he and
I got engaged. Okay, now y'all twenty six and got engaged.
His mama bought his clothes up till then. Then you
fixed it up a little bit and said, well, his
mama got great taste.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
I told her I can take care of it.

Speaker 7 (01:02:24):
Now what His mama bought his clothes till he was
twenty six. Then his grandmama did all the cooking, So
he can't even he can't even make a sandwich. His
mama joked that if you don't start spoiling him, they

(01:02:45):
gonna come over there and do it for you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Told her that wasn't funny to you.

Speaker 7 (01:02:48):
Why are you marrying this boy?

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
Because I ain't hurt nothing? Manly?

Speaker 7 (01:02:53):
He do you know what I think it is?

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
I'll tell you what I think.

Speaker 11 (01:03:00):
We'll be come back all right, All right, Steve, We'll
have part two of your response coming up at twenty
three minutes after the hour Today's Strawberry Letter subject? Am
I marrying a man or a child. We'll get back

today's strawberry letter. The subject is am I marrying a
man or a child?

Speaker 7 (01:04:01):
And if you got to ask that question and then
write in a letter, then you already know the answer,
because if you was marrying a man, you wouldn't be
typing this letter. Just why are you marrying this dude?
You know what this letter is, y'all. This letter is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
A woman who wants a husband.

Speaker 7 (01:04:24):
And a man who needs a mother and a grandmother
and is hoping to find it in his wife. Because
this dude right here, man, his mama picked out his
clothes till he was twenty six. I've never heard that before,

(01:04:46):
and I've heard a lot of stuff, but I've never
heard a mama by her son's clothes till he twenty six.
Then you say, well, good things, She had good taste
because he's always well dressed. Then you say he take
care of bez out in public, but then private is
something wrong with him? Well, I'll tell you what's wrong
with him. He don't do anything. You came from a

(01:05:08):
two parent home where your parents split all the responsibilities.
Your dad helped cook, clean, he was at all your
school activities. Your fiance was raised by his mom, and
his grandmama. They did everything, and his grandmama cooked all
his meals to the point where you say, your man
can't even make a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
He was catered to his entire life.

Speaker 7 (01:05:28):
And Dniel Mama told you, if you don't start spoiling him,
they gonna come over there and do it for you.
You said, I don't think that's funny at all. They
were serious. And so then here's the part. He don't
want to learn how to cook. And when I ask
him sawtage clothes for the launch because they don't. Oh,

(01:05:49):
by the way, they've been living together for three weeks.
That's what produced this letter. He moved in with her
three weeks ago. He didn't know that whites don't go
in to wash it with dogs.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
That's easy.

Speaker 7 (01:06:00):
Let him do it one time and that'll fix that.
That's right, Because when all your drawers is gray and
green and they was white, that's you. When your socks
don't fit no more, when your blue jeans is not
coolos yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can fix that

(01:06:27):
right there. When your T shirts and all your T
shirts that you put them on and they show your navel,
that that's when you love it. Card of wash After that,
he often talks about having children. But I can't imagine
taking care of children while I'm raising a grown man. Really,
so why are you even considering marrying him?

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
If you're trying to raise a grown man?

Speaker 7 (01:06:52):
And then you overheard telling his mama that you put
pressure on him to clean and cook and do this
and that. Now, I don't want him to think got nagging,
But he needs a crash course on being man of
the house.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Okay? And who and who finn to give it to it?

Speaker 6 (01:07:08):
Who?

Speaker 7 (01:07:08):
Who, young lady at gonna give him this crash course?
He done got the crash course he gonna get from
his mama and his grandmama. How you gonna give him
a crash course when you ain't never been a man? Now,
you done had a good example of it in your father,
But you can't make a man be a man. I
can tell you that right now. You can take that

(01:07:29):
off your plate of and of things to do. If
you may meet a man, young ladies, and he's not
a man, walk away because there is nothing you can
do to get him to be one. A woman cannot
make a man be a man. A woman can help
a man be a better man. Okay, okay, that's what

(01:07:54):
you can do. But you got to start with a man.
Your husband's you. Man married you because it hopes that
you can help him become a better man. But you
married your husband because he was already a man. Now
you get in there as a support system and try

(01:08:14):
to make him a better man. Same thing with a woman.
You marry a woman to make her a better woman.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
That's man.

Speaker 7 (01:08:26):
Y'all got to compliment each other, and they got nothing
going on right here. I don't even see why you're
married his dude. They don't have nothing in comment. He
don't do nothing. He ain't got nothing in common with
your daddy, your brother. I never thought it would be
this big of a problem. Is it best to postpone

(01:08:49):
the wedding till he grows up? He's not going to
grow up. Do you know how far behind he is
right now? His mama been buying his clothes to he
twenty six. I'm just telling you right now, I've never
heard that before. I don't know no man who mama
bought their clothes till he was twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Now. I know some men that lived at their mama.

Speaker 7 (01:09:10):
House till they were thirty something, But they was never
in a real relationship. Ain't no woman signing up for that.
I don't know why you was signed up for this.
You know what I think you should do. I think
you should ask him to leave your house until he
grows up. And then while he over there growing up,
you need to go find somebody that's already grown. That's
my strong suggestion to you, because you finna waste your life.

(01:09:35):
You're going to spend years of misery with this boy.
This boy right here, he don't have it. He just
don't have it. And I know it's one. I don't
have a word from him. I don't know what he's
thinking of doing. But you everything you put in the
let he ain't doing. He ain't doing nothing.

Man, it's a great week.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Man. Well, he's gonna be hard to deal with this week.

Speaker 11 (01:13:46):
All right, Junior, thank you, congratulations Steve. Coming up at
the top of the hour, woman needs some advice of
social media. She said, I overheard the stepmom's real plans.
We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening to
the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
All right.

Speaker 11 (01:14:07):
This is from Anonymous on Steve Harvey FM. Anonymous says,
about six months ago, my sixty year old dad got
remarried to a twenty eight year old woman. I was
visiting my Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was visiting my dad
for the weekend, and I overheard a phone call this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Wife was having while dad was out.

Speaker 11 (01:14:27):
She was laughing about how it's not that pathetic and
she only has to stick it out for a couple
of years and she can cash out in the divorce.
She also said some downright rude and disrespectful things about
my dad. I want to pull my dad to the
side and talk to him about it, but I also
know it would break him to know what was being
said behind his back. And there's also a chance that

(01:14:49):
he might not even believe me, since it was clear
that I wasn't a big fan of my mom and
him getting divorced back in the day in the first place.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
What should I do?

Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Well, what you should have did? But it's too late.
You should have busted hubside.

Speaker 18 (01:15:06):
You say that that's what you should have did.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
Should have just rolled up on it and walked them.

Speaker 11 (01:15:16):
Too late for that, huh yeah, uh.

Speaker 7 (01:15:19):
Oh, it would have been really smart if you could
have recorded it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
But you're probably old and didn't think of that in time,
because these kids got it quick.

Speaker 7 (01:15:33):
Oh man, Yeah, yeah, it probably is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:15:42):
So she shouldn't tell her dad though, Is that what
you're saying? She shouldn't say anything to her dad about
what she overheard.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
You might not.

Speaker 7 (01:15:50):
Believe that, but I just don't hate dad.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
Listen to me. Be careful because I overheard her having
a conversation.

Speaker 7 (01:15:58):
I know you're not gonna believe it if I told
you what I heard, But Daddy, please be careful.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Because she ain't right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
She's got to work to your father.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Yeah, that's yeah. But is he going to believe it though?

Speaker 17 (01:16:14):
Is he?

Speaker 11 (01:16:15):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Is he gonna? I mean, but she told him because
once he finds out, she goes.

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
I tried to tell you, Daddy, right now, he's enjoying life.
His eyes are rolled in the back of his head.
Every other night, he's he's going through some amazing things.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Right. No, no, not every other night. She's sick. You
don't think so, not every other night?

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
He said, how many times, Steve? You think twice?

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Yeah? A few times a month? You know? Okay? All right,
that's okay.

Speaker 11 (01:16:46):
But she's got it all planned out a couple of years.
A divorce should cash out in the divorce in a
couple of years.

Speaker 7 (01:16:55):
Wow, Yeah, you got this playing the old digger play.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
That's why you know? You got to make sure somebody
marry you for you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
And how do you do that.

Speaker 20 (01:17:14):
Says the rich a lot of tish, got a lot
say nothing known, but you got to put a lot
of tests in the beginning.

Speaker 11 (01:17:26):
Okay, okay, in the beginning, Okay, all right, we know
we have time for another one. This is from Rob
on Steve HARVEFM. Rob says, my wife recently got a
new job, and she really seems to be enjoying it,
particularly because her coworkers are so cool. Yesterday she came

(01:17:46):
home talking about some new girl that she met there
by the name of Lolita. After a brief description of Lolita,
I knew, without a shadow of a doubt that this
was the same Loalita I kicked it with a couple
of months before I met my wife. It was never
anything serious, but we were really into each other. My
wife is going to suggest meeting up with some of

(01:18:07):
her work friends, including Lolita, and it could get a
bit awkward. So do I wait it out and hope
for the best. Or do I let the situation be
known and hope for the best.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Boy, not open your mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
He can't say anything.

Speaker 7 (01:18:23):
Do not do not open your mouth. Just off a
description you know that Lolita or.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
By the hut your mouth? All right? All right?

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
You heard it from CLO. All right, coming up, we'll
have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Right after this.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
I ain't going to lunch with him.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):

Speaker 11 (01:18:57):
Having a six figure salary doesn't mean what it used
to mean, as a third of those earners now say
they're financially distressed, according to a new Harris poll. Surprisingly,
a lot of those making at least one hundred thousand
dollars are living paycheck to paycheck. Is three quarters of
them admit to using a credit card recently because they
ran out of cash before they got paid. So here's

(01:19:19):
a question for you, guys, is well, Steve not you necessarily, Yeah,
question is yeah, just for gicks, Is a six figure
income a sign of wealth to you?

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
That's question A. That's that's number one. Is that a sign?

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
I mean you know, that's that's a good living man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
Yeah, that puts you in.

Speaker 7 (01:19:43):
That puts you in the upper echelon people in the
United States. Really, Yeah, one hundred thousand dollars a year,
that puts you in the upper echelon.

Speaker 10 (01:19:54):
Man.

Speaker 11 (01:19:54):
Well, the people that are making that are saying they're
living paycheck to paycheck and they're financially distressed right now.

Speaker 7 (01:20:01):
So well, the reason is, no matter how much you make,
you can live above your means.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
True, true, very true.

Speaker 7 (01:20:10):
One hundred thousand dollars, take care of all your needs.
What gets you into trouble is your.

Speaker 18 (01:20:16):
Won'ts Hello okay, well said, well, yeah, that's that's where
your trouble get in at. Yeah, I been knees, ain't nothing.
One hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
You good man. All you got to do is quick,
won't stuff won't? I won't?

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Yeah, how do you do that?

Speaker 9 (01:20:34):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
That won't last?

Speaker 5 (01:20:36):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):

edible gift bundles. You get the latest phone with a

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
Thank you guys for listening. As always, I appreciate you. Yeah. See,
if you have some words of wisdom for us to
take us out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
Well you know.

Speaker 7 (01:25:30):
Junia asked me something at the beginning of the day.
Junior asked me, He said, how do you keep your
walk with God vibrant? Well, I think because I'm human.
I think life has caused me to keep it intact.
And oh, I've gotten the more intact it is. I

(01:25:54):
don't the word vibrant. Sometimes I'm not the person I
need to be in my relationship with God, so I
guess it's not as vibrant in those moments. Sometimes I'm
not as connected to God as I need to be
for whatever the reason, I'm allowing the world to occupy
my mind. Or sometimes I think about my problems more

(01:26:19):
than I think about God, when clearly I know that
I have no problems bigger than my God. And I
know this, but sometimes, as a human, I sit there
and allow the problems to evade into my mental space
and allow me sometimes to become a little bit sadden

(01:26:40):
or worrisome or doubtful, or feel pressure when I know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
I don't have to. What keeps mind.

Speaker 7 (01:26:53):
Relationship vibrant is just life, man, It's just life just
keeps on coming at me. And I don't have time
to not have God close to me because it's just
too much. And I don't know, and that's for everybody.
I don't care who you are. It's all relative. You
don't have to have my life to think it can

(01:27:15):
be a bit much. Sometimes your life right where it
is can be a bit much. Trust and believe you
ain't got to be me to have a life that's
a bit much. All of us, at one point in
time feels that our life is a bit much. Can
I get an amen?

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
Amen?

Speaker 9 (01:27:34):
Amen?

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
Again?

Speaker 7 (01:27:36):
I don't know anybody who don't from time to time
think that life is a bit much. But the one
thing that the constant that I always know is is
that when it becomes a bit much, it don't have
to stay that way because I can actually turn it

(01:27:57):
over to God. I can actually take it to God,
let him have it and give him permission to handle it.
But you have a choice in the matter. Now, that's
the thing, and you got to make the decision to
use that option. You know, old people say, if you're
gonna pray about it, don't worry about it. If you're
gonna worry about it, then don't pray about it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
But that's a human being.

Speaker 7 (01:28:18):
You get caught in that middle sometimes where you worried
about it for a longer period than you need to.
But when I like, it's been something that's been pressing
on me the last couple of days. Finally, last night
me and my wife was praying about it, and all
of a sudden, today I feel a whole lot better
about it because I gave it to God. Because you

(01:28:39):
ever had something happen and you just ain't got no answer?
Have you ever had something happen to you and it
left you in a state of going like, Man, what
am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Have you ever hello? Hello?

Speaker 7 (01:28:57):
Don't sit out there and act like I just just steve.
I'm talking to everybody right now. You remember, just recently,
while you was questioning everything, You remember not having an
answer to nothing. When you get that way, remember God
is available twenty four seven, and God has an answer,

(01:29:20):
He has a response God. It ain't confusing to God.
God don't need clarity. God got answer for everything. God
got to fix for it. You just got to be
smart enough to trust an't even go to it. But
then ain't that the problem?

Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
Though?

Speaker 7 (01:29:41):
Ain't that the problem? Too many times we allow our
problems to be bigger than our God. When you have
no problem bigger than God. You just don't. And once
you come to that understanding, you realize that you have
a very present help, very present help. So to say,

(01:30:05):
how do I keep my relationship vibrant? What I just
try to do, Junior, to be honest with you, is
to keep it consistent. I try to pray every day.
I try to confide in Him all the time. Man,
I have learned as I've gotten over, I go to
God with everything what to do next. One of my

(01:30:28):
biggest prayers is, Lord, order my steps, Just take me
in the direction you want me to go, and then
help me make the right decision. Just last night, me
and my wife was praying that God removes the people
from our life and our path that we don't need
in our way because they ain't nothing but the hinders.

(01:30:48):
We just had that prayer last night to remove people
from our life who could be a hindrance and get
in the way of what God got for us. Belly,
That's really the best way I'll keep my faith life.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Vibrant.

Speaker 7 (01:31:07):
Prayer Man, Prayer works, y'all. Prayer works. Don't you let
nobody tell you it?

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
Don't.

Speaker 7 (01:31:15):
Don't you let nobody tell you God ain't listening. God
hear everything. But are you talking to him though? Are
you really earnestly talking to him?

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Y'all?

Speaker 7 (01:31:26):
Prayer works, it does. Prayer really works. Go sit down
and talk to some people at the New Lord for
a while. Prayer works. Man, better get you some. Don't
forget to pray, y'all, all right, don't forget because prayer
changes things. Prayer change people too. Y'all, have a great

(01:31:49):
day today. Talk to God. He would love to hear
from me, and he got an answer for you too.
