Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all back
a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them
more like the milling bus things in its tubbs. Y'all
do me good it. Steve har listening to the movie

(00:26):
together for study. I don't join by join me in

(00:53):
doing me. Honey, you gotta turn you, you gotta turn

(01:41):
the turnow, got the turnout, then turn the water the
water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I

(02:02):
sure will. Good morning, everybody. You're listening to the voice,
Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show. Okay, I got something for you today.
I'm gonna have a conversation this morning about my understanding

(02:23):
of grace now that I've gotten older and I've come
in to a better understanding of a lot of things
I didn't know about when I was younger. This is
just my interpretation of grace. Now once again, y'all listen
to me. I ain't nobody's pastor, I ain't nobody's minister.

(02:43):
So you know, I'm pretty sure you can go to
church and get a far more extensive definition of one
I'm giving you. I'm just talking to people. You know,
grace is this thing that that God provides for us,
and grace's just things that you get that's really undeserving,

(03:06):
you know. I mean, I look at my life as
it is today. You know. Look, I work hard and
I have faith in God that I do so things
are going to happen in my life. But the way
my life is now, I don't. I don't. I don't
deserve all of this. I don't don't. I don't look
at it that way. I have been the beneficiary of

(03:26):
God's grace. I have aligned myself in a position to
accept whatever grace God has for me, and it will
be far abundant and exceedingly in anything you could think of.
His grace supersedes anything you could possibly imagine. You know,

(03:47):
the goals that I set and the aspirations that I
shoot for, and the things that I have on my
dream board. I have the faith that God will give
it to me. But what He does with grace, he
gives you far more than that. He gives you what
He has for you, not what you can see. You
can't see all He has for you. It's impossible. Who
are you? How can you possibly imagine what he can imagine?

(04:09):
How can you possibly think how he can think? How?
How can you possibly do what he can do? How
can it be that isn't a single mind living or
a collection of minds that could have thought of earth?
What in your wildest imagination could have made you think
of Earth? The stars, the heavens, the oceans, the galaxy,

(04:32):
the constellations. What in your mind? What in any man's mind.
We can point at it and analyze it, but we
show it couldn't have thought of it. So come on now,
I'm talking about lining yourself up with God's grace, which
he will give to you if you if you want
some of it now. But now, his thing about grace,

(04:53):
it can't be bought. If it could, if it could
be bought, I'm telling you I would pour all the
money I have and dump it into grace, because, after
discovering what it is, it's this goodness that God shines
on you simply as a reward of some type for

(05:15):
his love for you and for you attempting for you
attempting to do right, not because you get it right.
Because if He judged us purely on how we are
the right and wrong of it, we would all be doomed,
all of us, Every last one of us would be
doomed because we all fall short, we all make mistakes,

(05:38):
we all sin, we all get it wrong from time
to time. Nobody's perfect. Man. Now I understand what my
mother was saying about cleaning the house. All I want
is a little more grace. All I need is a
little more grace when the last time you ask God
for some grace. Now I'm not talking to you like
I know everything. If you just benefit from His grace,

(06:02):
which you already have, but if you're not aware of it,
you don't know what's going on. Become aware of grace,
Get aware of the fact that God does things for
you simply because He loves you. He does things for
you that you don't even deserve. Somehow, you just wonder
how you just got over when you didn't even do
the things to get over. Sometimes you don't even know

(06:26):
how you got that job you got when you ain't
even really do the things to get to job. How
you end up where you are all this education you
thought you went and got and had, how you end
up where you are today in a much better position
than your education could have ever gotten you. That's grace.
How I get every place I am today. I didn't

(06:46):
plan this. Man, If I could have planned my life
the way it is, don't you know how to have have
done it when I was living in that car, if
I knew how to do it. No, I benefited from
his grace. I'm just a beneficiary of his grace, of
his goodness and his mercy. God's goodness is better than
your goodness. God's goodness is better than your mother's goodness.

(07:08):
It's better than your wife's or your husband or your
booze goodness. God's goodness is different. His goodness Man covers
some stuff you can't even imagine. So why are you
trying to put your life together when the last time
you asked him for just a little bit of grace?
When have you thought of your life in terms of

(07:30):
the grace that it has already benefited from? Have you
ever done that? Man? Just thought about it? You know
you hear songs like my soul looked back and wonder
how I got over. That's grace, That's all I can
call it. Now. Like I said, you can go at
church or somewhere ever you want to, and ministers that
the wind at school to teach this thing way better
than me I'm just giving you from a layman standpoint. Man,

(07:53):
have you thought about his grace? Would you not bewailed
to be a beneficiary of his grace? Would it not? Now?
Check this out. The better you try to do, the
more grace he'll give to you. And that grace can't
be bought. Like I said, it's free. You can't purchase grace.
But the better you try to become the more the

(08:14):
more grace he gets to put your way. So man,
just try Why don't you just try to do better? Look, man,
quick tip. Minda I'm gonna start next week. I'm gonna
start at the new year. Now you now you do
that every year, you know the evers at the new year,
we eat better at the new year. I'm gonna I'm
gonna gonna get in here and the new year. If
you're gonna do it, you're gonna do it now. Man,

(08:37):
You're gonna do not stop trying to do something, do it,
stop talking about it, do it now. The best way
to benefit from his grace is starting action now in
old w now right now today. What you're waiting on.
All you're doing is delaying his opportunity to bless you.

(09:00):
You know, man, you know. Do you know how many
times we do that? We delay his opportunity to bless
us by not starting now. If you're gonna get healthy,
why don't you start now? Now? You're gonna trip a
little bit called the holidays coming. But you ain't got
to eat bad all the time. You could start eating
correct today you could, you could, and then guess what

(09:20):
that could be? Some grace on the end of that.
I'm just giving you a little cheap analogy, But do
you feel what I'm saying to you? Start thinking in
terms of grace, what He has done for you and
provided for you that you ain't even see coming. That
you know, you keep calling them blessings and I got
that a lot of it, and us all it is.
But man, have you thought about the stuff that didn't
happen to you? You can't account for I. For me,

(09:45):
that's been grace and I'm beneficiary of it. And that's
available to everybody that won't sull Next time you're talking
to him, just check in with grace. See what that is.
That's that's better than money. You're listening, Ladies and gentlemen,
may have undivided attention. Please, Today is the day that

(10:06):
the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad
in it. I have a special announcement today today, It's

Steve J. Anthony Brown has been out. He's back today.
He's here to break down the year you were born.
Come on, Steve, and I meant, what when do we meet? Steve?
Nineteen eighty five, nineteen eighty five. For a year you

(15:08):
were born, the number one show on TV was Gun
Smoke and I Love Lucy, which meant wall any time
a black person was on television, somebody had to yell
out black people on TV. Gas was thirty one cents

(15:28):
a gallon. Dog. I bought gas for thirty eight center
gallany thirty one cents a gallon, And that meant the
same guy who put that nasty fluid on your window
and asking for a dollar was still there. You was
still around. You were still around. A dozen eggs would
cost you fifty seven cents for a dozen end what

(15:52):
black people? Cholesterol was still high and it's going higher, okay.
When you were the Cleveland Browns had a record of
nine and one. Lord, we can get some of them
guys to play to day. A post stam was three cents,

(16:14):
which means if you mailed a letter when Steve was born,
you might be getting that letter today. That's what that
means if you might be it just got it here,
It just got here. The average rent was seventy five
dollars a month. Also, that meant the average person was
two and a half months behind. And the rent Wow

(16:36):
a movie was sixty seven cents. And the year that
you was born was the first time black people started
talking in the movies. That's when you were born and
started right A man, soup was twenty eight dollars. Now
you can only get a soup color in black, brown,

(16:57):
and gray, except in Cleveland in de truck you can
get any color. You boy like that? Just like that, Jake,
all day. Albert's been open since slavery. Yes, it had
year that she was born. Steve. This is a great
fact right here. George Wallace had graduated from high school,

(18:28):
We had some people on the boat with us, and
we had everybody put up at the Four Seasons Hotel
in Aguila, and she got a villa on the island
and so we could go from the boat to the villa.

the first time ever, you've done a film on Netflix.
It's called A Fall from Grace. It's a thriller, and
it's around a woman that's charged with the murder of
her husband. But what is this movie about this, Tyler Perry,
this is new for you, man. This is a thriller,

(31:24):
so what can we expect? It's on Netflix. My problem
with trying to get trying to get through all of
the all these interviews without giving away there's so much
of it because I'm telling you, there's so many twists
and plot turns at the end. Everybody who's singing has
been on the edge of their seat, screaming, yelling, can't
believe it. And people call me predictable. You ain't figuring
this now, you ain't gonna figure this. I read something.

(31:50):
They were like, oh, Tyler, so they saw the trailer, like, oh,
I know the whole movie. I've seen the Trailer's old.
That's all that kyl of Perris Son say something, watch
this movie. I promise you you won't even you won't
the twisting turns. You're not to be figured out if
you see it. Dre Yes, I did. Let me say something, Tyler,
this should be a theater where you have mandatory black
people talking in the movie. I'm talking definitely be allowed

(32:12):
to talk in the theater. Okay, because that's that's the
great thing about Netflix. You can sit at home and
talk all you gonna. Cary Tyler, you must have got
tired because look, I know you man, I know what
you've done for this business. But you know when people

(32:33):

(35:30):

You ever talking with a Christian and you can't really

(35:53):
have you kept the balance in your life just to
maintain true to who you are in the same time
be this huge mega started you become. You can't come for.
You can't grow up in my mama's house, in Maxkine's
house and be anybody else. She wasn't a person that
faked that. She wasn't a person that you know. We
lived as we were, And I don't know how to
be anybody else other than myself. Man, I'm grateful for

(36:15):
everything I have. He could all be going tomorrow. I
want to celebrate. I want to wake up appreciating it.
I don't complain about it. That just getting that do
what I gotta do. So when you realize that you
can be on the plane and everything's gone in the
next second, you know it could be over the next
I can How can you be arrogant and talking about that.
So I'm just grateful to God that he's hold it
all together for me. YEA, go ahead, mister Perry, you're

(36:45):
gonna kiss his ass. That's what he's saying. That damn
and he's still Harry Perry. Okay, but when do you sleep?

(37:08):
That's what I want to over. I listen, I building breaks.
STEPA tell you this, I building breaks for my life.
I don't. I don't work hard like this all the time.
Like I like to go three months go hard and
that NonStop, and then I'll take a month off and
just go do nothing. So so that's that's I'm able
to maintain it because I couldn't keep this taste up
year round. And I write so fast and I shoot

(37:30):
so fast, and it gives me a lot of downtime
in between, mister Perry gets some rest. You you've done
it in a way that has really changed the way
it could be done. You broke the system. You know,
they said in order for a show to go syndicate

(37:52):
it you had to be five years, twenty two episodes, Tyler,
when you shot Meet the Browns and stuff like that,
what was your shooting schedule? Like, we were shooting probably
three episodes a week. We went to we went to UH,
we went to UH, syndicates to one hundred episodes and

(38:12):
in less than a year and a half. Man so
we But but you know, I hire a lot of
theater actors who and here's the thing, though I didn't
learn in Hollywood. I didn't come up in that system.
So Nothing in that system made sense to me, so
I would always find another way to do it. I
could say, no, it don't take seven days to shoot
a sitcom. We can shoot that a lot faster. I
just broke all those modes because I wasn't trained that way,
that's all. I didn't learn that way, so I didn't

(38:34):
have to unlearn it. Tyler Perry, hold on one second, man, Hey, listen, y'all.
We'll be back with more of the legend Tyler Perry
right after this. You're listening, all right, y'all, We're back,
as promise. We're gonna do a little bit more. Right here.
We got our buddy on the phone, I mean, real
family member. Man, he's set in on the show. He's

(38:55):
meant a lot to us over the years. We're talking
with the one and only Tyler Perry. So, Tyler, So
here's the deal, man, This is what I was thinking.
I'm gonna just throw this out there on the air
because I've been hustling this deal for a long time.
We think, yeah, man, this one we're pitching right now.
We're pitching. No, I'm pitching. This is pitched pitch. This

(39:24):
is bout and paid for our own. This proposition. I
have shopped it. I have gotten several offers. I just
don't like the people. I am telling you that you
and I should do the family Feud movie period. I

(39:46):
don't care what the deal play out to be. I
think me and you should do it. Man, let's we
talked about that. Man, let's figure it. I'll be waiting
on you. Well. Can I say something? What do you
want to say to mister Perry? Now say to you, sir.
It will help you get this deal done if you
use the phrase mister Perry. Yeah, there you gonna see.

(40:16):
And can I add mister Perry that I am best
person to play steal hard with mister Perry? I am.
That's like you have to have from Chemo. D Hey, ladies, ladies, ladies,
let me call you, Let me call you out down.
You all are a little black man humor. You don't

(40:38):
have a lot of bounds on it. Talk about Ja
as Chemo? Where he getting it? Ain't he only reason?
The only reason I bought that up is because Jay
always prinked it up. He always that's right time up. Man.
You know I gotta go to Chemo. But look at

(41:02):
you blessed him like that. That's why you're so blessed.
That's that's why you're so successful, Tyler. That's why because
you always give back and and that's just it. And
we looked forward to seeing the movie A Fall from
Grace and tell us about the whole Netflix deal. But
we'd be seeing any more projects from you from Netflix. Well,
I have my own streaming service, which b ET plus.

It was already there. He bought y'all streaming wrong, streaming

(41:52):
time problem. Sitting in the middle in the meeting of
bt Is said I like your stream as well. We
don't have that in the budget. I'll tell you what,

(42:37):
as far as that flick goes, Yeah, I love to

with him. I walked in that room and I never
thought that kind of diversity in Hollywood anywhere. I was
blown away, blown away my meeting. So so yeah, I
want to I want to do more with him, and
hopefully that's some kind of partnership where we can do
what I could buy on the Netflix. Everybody, shut up,

(43:04):
Holy y'all, shut up, you know, mister Perry. Hey if
this in word by Netflix name for inward Flix. Oh

(43:30):
all right, y'all, let's say, well, hang on, Tyler, hang

more from Tyler Perry right after there. Shall you're listening
morning show? All right, y'all be back. That's promised. Let
me pull myself together here. Shut up. As people trying

(43:52):
to get a job, y'all, sickle some work for health.
Ask people back to this interview. The movie is called
Far from GSM. It's on Netflix. Right now. It's a thriller.
It has so many twisting turns. You ain't gonna believe

(44:14):
it again. You all have gotten to get and get
it on. Man. I'm you know what, man, I I've
known this, but it's it's a really weird story man.
Because a guy named al Wash bought Tyler Perry to
my house in nineteen ninety seven, ninety six and was

(44:37):
trying to get me to invest in these plays from
this guy who had just been recently come out of homelessness. Well,
a guy sitting in my house name was Tyler Perry.
What al Wash didn't know? He is, I didn't have
two damn quarters to scrape again to me, like I

(44:58):
got investment money. If you had twenty five thousand dollars,
I said, If I was thinking to myself when I
watched it, twenty five thousand dollars, I said, if I
had twenty five thousand dollars, wouldn't be talking to y'all too.
I don't know. I don't know if I believe that though,
Because I was in that house. That house was sick.
I pulled up in that house. I was like, Lord,

(45:20):
is this what I could do? One day? Tommy? No, no, Tyler,
that's all I had. I bought that house with a
three hundred thousand dollars check that I had got from
an advance from ABC. I put the whole three hundred
thousand dollars down on that million dollar house. When I
put that money down, I had seventeen hundred dollars left,

(45:42):
and I had to go out to make that house
note every month. I didn't have no money when I
had that house though. That But hold up, though, but Tyler,
I've been too a few of your houses we all

(46:02):
had about I didn't walked into some places and win
this black bastard. Look what God can do, won't he
do it? Hey? Tyler? It has been a pleasure, man,

(46:24):
to have relationship with you, to watch what you have done,
to be the type of man you are, to go
through what you've gone through, and to come out on
this side of it and still striving, still climbing, still believing,
still encouraging, still providing jobs for so many African Americans
that we're having. You are in our lifetime. Spike Lee

(46:48):
started us into the directing capacity. I think Spike Lee
was a big part of us. But in our generation,
that has never been a black filmmaker, producer, provider jobs
and opportunities. Then Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry Studio standing
in Atlanta, Georgia, testament to this man's real greatness in

(47:13):
this Hollywood, his love for God and God's favor in
his life. If y'all ain't been the Tyler Perry Studio,
get your ass on the bus and get over there.
One more time, Steve, one more time, get your ass

a Tyler, I am so glad and grateful for what
you were doing for Jay. I am so excited for Jay.

That's for you, Jay Anthony Brown, bug it up, Hold
on tight, we got it for you here. It is
a Strawberry letter. All right, everyone, here's the subject. One
of my side pieces is stressing me out. Stephen Shirley.

(51:04):
I am a successful executive and my job involves a
lot of travel. I've been married for twenty years, but
for the last five years, my wife has had some
medical issues and she's gained a lot of weight. At first,
she tried to keep her weight down, but then she
just let herself go and she's not happy with herself,
so she stopped having sex with me. I did a

(51:26):
very selfish thing and started seeing other women when I
am on work trips. At one time, I had four
different side pieces in four different states. They are all
great women, but they don't hold a candle to my wife,
so I knew I was wrong. Three of them used
me for money and dinners when I was in town,

(51:46):
and that was fine with me. But one of my
side pieces fell in love with me and wanted me
to leave my wife for her. I told her that
would never happen, and she lost it and screamed and
cried and stormed out of my hotel. The next day,
she showed up at my corporate office and told the
receptionist she needed to see me. It was an emergency.

(52:09):
She burst into the conference room and acted a complete fool.
Slow down, can you read this letter? Okay? All right, okay,
I'll slow it down. Your birthday. It's just a letter,

(52:32):
this letter. What the hell is going on in this boardroom? Yeah, okay, okay,
I'll slow down. Okay, all right, uh I did it.
I'll start here. I did a very selfish thing and
started seeing other women while I am on work trip.
Let's get down. I told her you would never have Okay,

(52:57):
I like this line. Three of them use me for
money and dinner when I was in town, and that
was fine with me, but one of my side but
one of my side pieces fell in love with me
and wanted me to leave my wife for her. It's okay,
all right, I told her that would never happen, and

(53:18):
she lost it and screamed and cried and stormed out
of my hotel. The next day, she showed up at
my corporate office and told the receptionist she needed to
see me. It was an emergency. Why she bursted into

(53:46):
the conference room and acted a complete fool and room
into the conference room and acted a complete fool Steve
in front of the heads of my company. Damn, let
that marinate for a minute, because all the fellows that Carlo,

(54:10):
they don't. They don't have a security that can keep
a crazy woman out. It just don't. They haven't been Steve. Breathe, guys, breathe. Okay,
my boss is in here. Yeah. Yeah. She burst into
the conference room and acted a complete fool in front
of the heads of my company. They knew she was

(54:31):
not my wife, so they ushered her out and told
me to get my personal affairs in order. Yeah. Huh
uh huh. I tried to call her, and when I did,
I found out she blocked my number and blocked me
from her social media accounts. She left a note at

(54:54):
my hotel saying that she might have to pop up
in my hometown to meet my wife and I have
a talk with her. That's where I was gonna stop
on my own. Uh, hell, is you outside for Steve?

(55:16):
Want to disappear? All right, I'll continue. I have prayed
and prayed about it, and I think the best thing
to do. No, you're not gonna like this line, Steve.
All right, Okay, I've prayed and prayed about it, and

(55:37):
I think the best thing to do is to tell
my wife everything. Hell, you are this letter already ignorant?
All right, let me finish. I've cut back on my
side pieces and I just have one. Now, any comments,
any comments from the fellas? All right? I tell your

(56:00):
wife they had a crazy, perfect escape the cyclar. I
have talked to my pastor to get back on track.
What do you think I should do? Should I tell
my wife? Or do you think my side piece was
just trying to scare me? Uh? Listen, I think this
crazy blank woman would burst into your office like this
and clown like you said she did. I think she's

(56:20):
capable of doing anything. All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna
shorten my answer and say, I think you should tell
your wife everything. I know Steve's not going to agree
with that. I know the world now strung letter at

(56:40):
twenty three after the hour. One of my side pieces
is stressing me out. We'll be back right after this.
You're listening, all right, Steve. This is a crazy letter.
We need to recap this one subject. One of my
side pieces is stressing me out. Breathe, breathe, breathe need

(57:03):
to be said. Wife ain't a lot of weight. Try
to keep her weight down. She just let herself go.
She ain't happy with herself, but she decided to stop
having sex with me. Then the man did a very
noble thing, he said in the letter, I did a

(57:24):
very selfish thing. See this man know he wrongs. So
he said, I did a very selfish thing. Don't try
to make him. No, surely he he know he wrong.
This ain't no hero move. He had four different tide
pieces and four different st Will you be quiet. We

(57:47):
know what he got, and he got him because he
did a selfish move, he said, with selfish but she
stopped having sex with him. She stopped him and I
started to seeing other women on work trip one at
one time. I had four different side pieces in four

(58:07):
different states. That's fo in folk. Yeah, we know that's
a box where you turned at every side. That's the
life of completion. There you go, and they are all
great women, but they don't hold a coundle to my wife.

(58:29):
He's going back to make himself appear human and agonizing
over his decision. They are all great women, but they
don't hold a coundle to my wife. So I knew
I was wrong. Three of them used me for money
and dinners when I was in town, and that was
fine with me. We know what the deal is. Just

(58:50):
Bill Withers wrote a song you just keep on using
me and you come on, Bill, my friend. They feel
it all pointing duty. But anyway, one of my side
pieces fell in love with me and wanted me to
leave my wife for her. I told her that would

(59:12):
never happen. You should have said, let's think about this,
but now what dad had never happened. Now you can't
tell a crazy person facts. You have to say she
was crazy. Oh yes, he did, and she lost it,
screamed and cried, stormed out the hotel room. Next day,

(59:33):
here she goes, she didn't bought her ass down to
my damn job. Stone came into the corporate office, told
the reception she needed to see me it was an emergency.
I don't know who this help. I don't know who
this reception is. We didn't hide, she didn't let her answer,
talk about she and now now she'd have bought her

(59:55):
crazy ass in this conference room after the complete food
in front of the heads of our company. They knew
she was not my wife, so they had her rush
it out and told me to get my personal affairs
in order. Ye look at cause this food that came
down to your job. I beat damn because he's trying

(01:00:18):
to call it and do like your bosses, saying get
your personal fans in order try to call her found
out she'd have blocked your number, blocked you from all
her social media accounts. She left a note at your
hotel saying she might have to pop in on my
hometown to meet my wife and have a talk with her.
Let me explain something to you that he who see

(01:00:43):
you're gonna you're gonna have to talk with who you
see see. Let me you didn't been in there and
talk to these damn bosses that didn't go good from you.
Findt go ahead and talking to my wife. Nah, this
is where centner man drag the lord in it. I
have prayed and prayed about it. You wasn't praying when

(01:01:06):
you were screwing him. But now that didn't turn left
you need the Lord? Now, well the Lord know you
didn't need him then. Oh so now since you made
these decisions, we have to live with these decisions. I
have prayed and prayed about it, and I think the

(01:01:27):
best see his is the keyword. I think the best
thing to do is tell my wife everything. Yes, when
did you start thank you? You ain't been thinking in
this whole left You wasn't thanking me. You wasn't thinking

(01:01:48):
when you let her in that damn conference room. You
wasn't thank You wouldn't thank you when you're stupid ass
told her that would never happen. You shouldn't have said that.
You can't. You gotta let him down easier than that.
If you're gonna be a not all a sudden, your
dumb ass, do start thinking and guess what your stupid
ass and thought of. I think I should go back

(01:02:09):
in and tell my wife everything. Yeah, you're so stupid.
That's why shed on your job, because you stupid, and
you're gonna try to fix it. I cut back on
my side pieces and I just got one knot. Yeah,

(01:16:56):
our listeners that the Disney Dreamers Academy continues its dedication
mission to providing youth with an opportunity to learn how
they can harness the power of their dreams and now
we're so excited to announce. Ready for this one, the
twenty twenty class of Disney Dreamers Academy has been selected.

(01:17:18):
To see the class list, visit Disney Dreamers Academy dot com. Yes, yes, yes,
we love Disney right away. Yeah we do. Going down
there and do it again my birthday boy. Yeah, Steve,
you're always giving back. It's part of your legacy for sure. Yeah.
I hope that when it's all said and done, that

(01:17:41):
I would be most famous for that. I do appreciate
the comedy career that I've had. It has open doors
for me, doors that I never ever thought I would
have opened. It's no way I saw this. You know.
It's sort of funny, man. As you have birthdays, you're

(01:18:05):
really talking to somebody that was born in nineteen fifty seven.
I was born in nineteen fifty seven. At no point
in my life did I think about twenty twenty. M

(01:18:30):
At no point, man, I mean seriously, at thirty, there
was no concept of getting to twenty twenty. At forty
twenty three years ago, to say twenty twenty, you were
saying something that was like what you're talking over two decades.

(01:18:52):
How can I project that far? How can I want
that far? How can I see that far? How can
I anticipate that far? And I just looked, man, on
what God has done for me in spite of all
of the mistakes I've made. As I look back on

(01:19:13):
my journey, he has never ever, never, ever forsaken me.
He's never left me to hang out to drive. Now.
I had some real droughts in my life, you know.
I had some thin times man, where I thought I'm
going through this just a little bit too long. God, Okay,

(01:19:33):
I got it. Enough is enough? You know, the homeless thing.
For three years, I really thought I had gotten a
message after three months, I really did, but I got
locked into it for three years. But as I look
back on it now, I understand what he was doing
because I've learned that there ain't no lesson like a

(01:19:55):
Balk lesson. And I paid for that lesson, oh good,
so that not only could it never happen again, but
I could share information with people to avoid it from
happening to them. I didn't understand why I flunked out
of school, but I later understood as I lived my

(01:20:16):
life longer, that I didn't handle business down there in
the first place, that everything he had for me was
outside of that. But because I didn't confide or confer
with him, I made the decision on my own. He
gives us the power of choice, and so I had
to live with my decision. I look back on my life, man,
I think of all the mistakes I've made, and then

(01:20:39):
I have to realize of all the goodness, all the mercy,
all the grace and favor, all the times where in
spite of my mistakes, God showed me favor. He gave
me some grace, he led me off the hook, and
biggest of all, he just flat out forgave. He just said, man,

(01:21:03):
you tripping, But okay, I'm gonna forgive you because what
I've created you for so much bigger. But I do
need your attention those two. I need for you to
start paying attention to me, because you don't have a
conscious for no reason. See, my conscious didn't come from nowhere.

(01:21:24):
It comes from God. He has been my conscious the
whole time. There's been a piece of my soul that
has always cried out for him, even when I was
way way out there. I ain't exactly completely on the
white line right now, myself I'm not. But I tell

(01:21:44):
you one thing, though I ain't where I was because
where I was was so far out there, so far away, man,
that I just didn't see no way back at times.
But God is so merciful and been so good to
me over the years. He's allowed me back, He's let

(01:22:04):
me find my way back. Now, you have to make
a decision to come back. But whenever you decide to
come back, whenever you decide to turn to him, he
has open arms. And that's the message that everybody needs
to get today. That you can get it wrong and
get it right, that you can blow it and turn
it around, that you can mess up and get all

(01:22:27):
the corrections you need, that you can commit all the
wrongs in the world and be forgiven. I'm so grateful
on this birthday that God has forgiven me more times
than it should have been allowed. Happy birthday, boy, appreciate
your player. Yeah remarks, Happy birthday up. Thank you, Steve,

(01:22:54):
Thank you. Go out here and go to work, man, Ye,
