Didn't see it coming, but he did. I'm gonna share
with you today a principle of success. You know, it's
it's important that we get our lives together. I mean

(02:42):
it really really is. You know, the hereafter is exactly
what it says is to hereafter, and hopefully for the
majority of us, that's quite a way He's off. So
what about how you living today. How about him now?
You know often talk to you to talk in the
morning about your relationship with God. That can never change.

(03:04):
That is at the forefront and the best thought process
that I can give you. And I know who I'm
talking to on the radio. I'm talking to a lot
of people, man, who out there just not sure. And
I'm talking to a lot of people out there man
that's trying to pull it together. In other words, you know,

(03:25):
I'm talking to a lot of people like myself. There
is a principle of success that is out there that
if more people understood one of the base this is
just one of one of the basic principles of success,
you would have more success in your life. And that
principle is this, the more people you help become successful,

(03:46):
the more successful you become. Well, the more people you
help become successful, the more successful you become. Because you
are practicing helping your and as you do on to others,
then it's done unto you. You build relationships. When you

(04:07):
do that, people forget and success that has to be relationships.
There is no one person in this world who is
just successful all on their own. You are successful, and
successful people form relationships and You've got to really coddle
these relationships. You've got to nurture these relationships. They don't

(04:30):
just happen. You don't just get cool with people just
cause you cool. No, you've got to do some cool
things to these people and for these people, for these
people to be cool with you when you need some cool.
I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but that's
the best way I can tell it to you. I'm
just regular, you know, I just speak like that. This

(04:51):
is an important principle to put into your life. The
more people you help become successful, the more successful you become.
You can look. You have to say to people, hey,
look I've done that. This is what you got to do.
You got to take some time out to share. You
have to share information, experiences, thoughts. You got to take

(05:13):
a minute man to uplift somebody, give them some encouragement.
Hey man, you can do it. Don't give up. You
have no idea. You you you right now. You have
no idea how significant you are to someone else, how
your words of encouragement could be the difference maker. Today

(05:37):
I'm talking about it's a person looking at you that
you don't even really know you or you don't really
know them, and you see them struggling with something, just say, hey,
you know what, I've been watching you from afar. You
gonna be all right, man, I see some menu. Keep
doing the right thing, man, You're gonna be alright. I
had a meeting with a young man for the first time,
and this young man came into my office and never

(05:59):
met He has an internet service, which anybody can teach
me something about the internet, because I know little too
close to nothing. He was twenty seven years old, and
he was amazingly bright at this and I guess, you know,
that's not that hard to impress me. But the fluid

(06:23):
speech pattern that he had about this very very difficult subject.
He was tossing around the terms I had heard, but
he was actually putting him in sentences where had made
since to me, it's very fluid, very sure of himself.
When he was talking about this little thing, A young
dude twenty seven years old. And when he got through,

(06:43):
the woman that had introduced me to him, I was
leaving my office and she was going to escort him out,
and I turned around and I said, young man, I said,
what size pants are you? And I guessed it because
I've been dressing for long. I've been all them sizes.
I said, you about a thirty ways? He said, yes, Sir.
I said, what side shoe you waisted nine and a half?

(07:05):
I said, what side shirt is? At a medium? He said,
I really like extra large. I said, well, that's too
big for you. You just want to look blousey and bagging.
And so I was talking to him. Man I said, Man,
I'm gonna help you out. I said, man, because let
me tell you something. You a sharp young dude. Man,
you are raisor sharp. I say, you've really really impressed

(07:27):
me today. I said, And you know what, young brother,
I said, You're gonna make a lot of money one day. Man,
I said, but I want you to get your image up.
I want you to. I want you to look at
how you dress because you're coming into professional people's office
and you're talking about doing something for them, and it
takes money to make it happen. I got to give
you money to make this happen. What you cannot afford

(07:49):
to do is look like you need every dime of
this money. See you get when you go in there
and you talking about money with another person, the person
that's going to give you this money. Can not you
can't look like you need every dime of this money,
you know, So you got to start presenting yourself. And
that's all I just said to him. I just said, man,
but you know what you shop, You're gonna make yourself

(08:10):
some money. I'm gonna help you out a little bit.
I walked out. I went on bout my business. Later
on that afternoon, I had a meeting with the woman
that bought him in and she said, mister Harvey, you
have no idea what you just did. He said, his
eyes just teared up when you walked out. He said, Wow, man,
that man don't even know me, and he just encouraged me.
He said, man, I always thought I might could make it,

(08:33):
but he said, I ain't never had nobody like him
tell me I could make it. And just hearing it
from him, man, that's all right. I'm gonna get my
clothes together. But you know, I've been homeless. And then
he started telling the woman that he had been homeless,
and so, you know, then she telling me that now
I'm fit to cry, because you know, I've been in

(08:53):
that hole before. And I just and I'm just sharing
that story with y'all just to say. You don't know
who you talking too, But what does it hurt if
you just extend your hand to a person and give
them a moment of encouragement. See this young brother right here,
he could come back one day and be a major
benefit to me because he has a skill set that

(09:17):
I don't have. Oh. I might be old, mister Steve Harvey,
but hey, guess what, I don't know nothing about what
this young cat know. And he done went off and
educated himself. And just a word of encouragement from somebody
like yourself can make all the difference in another person's life.
So remember on your way to the top. The more

(09:39):
people that you help become successful, the more successful you become.
It's a requirement of God that you do that. That
ain't Steve Harvey talking. If you read your Bible. Somebody
got a Bible verse that back me up. Email it
to me today if you know what it is. I
don't know, but y'all do out there all right, you're listening,

(10:02):
ladies and gentlemen. Anyone who is a working class, all
of you who pray, anyone who has a relative, welcome
all of you to the show. Any of you who
have skin who are live in Your largest organ on

(10:23):
your body is your skin. Anybody who lives in their skin,
that's who I'm talking to today that I want to
cover everybody. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Welcome everybody.
I hope you're han't a great when God is good,
we all know that, but sometimes we forget to acknowledge that.
And that's what we do in the morning. We just
want you to acknowledge that God is good. That the
fact that you are here and able to hear this

(10:45):
show and have any measure of health is not a given.
The people are not healthy today, you are. So many
people have partial health. That's good too, because partial health. Here.
God is in the heel of the business. He's in
the sole rest business. He's in to change your life business,
to get your life together business. And so that's why

Well, moving on to Ricardo and Evanston, Ricardo says, I
gave my side chick three hundred dollars to enjoy herself
on a trip with her girls. While she was gone,
she didn't answer any of my calls and barely texted me.

about my wife, not her. Was I wrong to question her?

What does she want? I mean is three hundred that's
some good money that I don't know what she wants
if you, well, she didn't want nothing. She wanted some
piece and time piece and quiet time with her girlfriend.
And she may have been on the trip with more
than her girlfriends. That's why she ain't answered your text
and calls. She knows she the side chick. Look, man,

(24:28):
what you complaining about? You got a side chick to

year old bartender and my child's dad is in the military.
I want braces and he's got the money, but he

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Ain't nobody fixing your job? Oh? Y'all's currently dating?

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh five years?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
They've been dating, and they got a baby together.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
He won't give her any money.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
The baby can get some bracelet. You ain't gonna give
no work. Oh, all his money just for the baby.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Oh wow?

So so let me get this right. You gave him
a child, Yes, you date him. Check, you provide him
sexual favors, and he in returns receives all this. But
all of his money is for his baby.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh correct, Okay, okay, all you get all?

Speaker 9 (27:39):
Last one, last one, fellow. This is from Rwanda in
Saint Louis. She says, I went to a cookout with
a friend. When I saw the house, I realized I
had been there before for a party. The house is
listed as an Airbnb, but she thinks it's her new
man's crib. Should I tell her the truth or should

(27:59):
I let him keep on lying to her?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
M m, Well, but let me ask you all the questions,
because I've never used the airbnb before. But don't people
own houses and they rent them out as an Airbnb? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
So this can't be his house. No, they don't want
to stay that. They don't own it. It's like a
second property. They wouldn't They wouldn't be living there though.

(28:25):
But I'm saying, like, if a person is out of
town for two weeks or something, they can't rent their
house out. Oh you can't.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, So you're saying, have a party in his own airbnb?
Is what you're saying. If he owns it, why not?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
I'm asking a question. I ain't never been there withre
but I'm just trying to figure out how does she
know it's not his?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is though, because she could have been there before, but she.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Could have rented it from if he listed it. I
think it really was more important. We should talk about
the regular places you ain't being. That's really what we are.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
That's where you are with it.

Speaker 2 (29:06):

Kill We love you girl, I love y'all.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 9 (40:00):
Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, we'll
have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
You're listening the Harvey Morning Show. Well, I know you guys,
if you've.

Speaker 9 (40:11):
Been on social media, you've seen this story in the
videos over the holiday at the con Film Festival, where
a security guard there was rude to several female stars
on the red carpet. The security guard was first brought
to our attention when a video was released of her
stepping on Kelly Roland's red, strapless gown as Kelly walked

(40:32):
up the red carpet steps. Kelly graciously forgave her and
kept walking. The security guard then touched Kelly's back and
appeared to be pushing her quickly up the stairs. We're
talking about Kelly Roland, now, sweet Kelly Roland. At that point,
Kelly turned to her and had a few words for her,

(40:52):
and with her finger pointed in the security guard space.
According to several sources, Kelly told the security guard to quote,
stop talking to me like that.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
I am not a child.

Speaker 9 (41:02):
Kelly immediately got backlash when commenters on social media labeled
her as a mean girl or the dreaded angry black woman.
It was not until later, when other video surface of
the same little security guard now irritating a few other
white female celebrities on the red carpet, that Kelly Roland's
actions were justified.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
So you guys saw this, Right's crazy?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Good?

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah, this is great, And Kelly Roland. We all know
how she is.

Speaker 9 (41:30):
She's sweet as pie. You got to really get on
her nerves to irritate her to make her go like that.
So here's the question. Why are so many people just
so quick to label black women as mean girls or
bossy when we stand up for ourselves angry black women.
Sometimes there's sometimes story about but sometimes there is something

(41:51):
to be mad about.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Why is it only justified when it happened to the
white girls?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Right?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Exactly that part?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
We know why. First of all, Kelly Rowland does not
having a reputation of being and she's one of the
coolest people in the business. Sweetheart classing Kelly Rowland. Kelly Rowland,
don't be in no mess. But see these people right here.
You can't put your hand on me pushing me. You're

(42:19):
talking to me crazy, Kelly. No hold on who you
talking to? Yeah? But see see But hit the problem though,
when other people who don't have no facts, wasn't there
everybody seems to be sold ready to jump on the
celebrity's back about something they do without knowing all the facts.

(42:40):
When Kelly Rowland does not have a reputation of being
a mean girl or person, that's difficult to work with.
She got her she got standards, as she should and
she should be respected. But put your hand on me.
Whill you touching? Why is this?

Speaker 11 (42:56):
Why was it even a news story in the first
place when she just up for herself and correct to somebody.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
But now it's a news story because.

Speaker 9 (43:05):
Because she's rolling and because she had that other incident
in New York at the TV station today. Now they're
trying to label her. You know, yeah, she's hard to
get along with, she's difficult. She's an angry black woman.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
You know.

Speaker 11 (43:20):
That's what we saw the security guard do the same
thing to an actress from the Dominican report.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Security guard the security girl, well the.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Dominican to get back, she pushed her off her everything
Well excuse, huh what did you just say?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
He said? Everything can't result I'm just try.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
But wait a minute, I'm confused.

Speaker 7 (43:59):
But you mean but Tommy means woman to woman with
the woman Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, okay, you scared for
a moment.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Slapping back headed Joe jacking.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Down Yeah yeah, but yeah, yeah, that was crazy.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
It was great.

Speaker 11 (44:28):
But Kelly the first time, so it had to other
them been Oh nah, she's telling the truth.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
You heard a buckle up and hold on tight. We
got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Thank you, nephew. Subject if I had a dollar for
each time?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
All right.

Speaker 9 (54:50):
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm forty seven years old and my
husband is seventy four. I used to work for him
and we became close over the years, but we never
had any romantic interest in each other. His wife passed
in twenty twenty one from pneumonia, and I was there
for him. I made sure he ate and took his medicine.
I got a few ladies from my church to assist

(55:12):
me with cleaning out his wife's closets so he could
move on. It was a process that took a full year.
He told me he was used to seeing me every day,
not just at work. He said he liked how I
took care of him, and he asked me to have sex.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
He said it just like that.

Speaker 9 (55:30):
After a few days of processing what he said, I
decided to let him have a little taste because I
felt like he needed it. After we made love, he
was hooked and he had to see me every day.
I told him he had to make an honest woman
out of me, because the rumors started to swirl around
the office. We got married, and it wasn't the romantic
wedding that I'd always dreamed about. He was financially stable

(55:53):
and he was great in bed for an old man.
The only thing I'm having trouble with is him calling
me his decease wife's name while we are having sex.
If I had a dollar for every time it has happened,
i'd be a millionaire. He loves to have sex, and
at his age, I'm shocked at how much stamina he has.
But every time he's about to finish, he says her name.

(56:16):
He told me that he tries to say my name,
but he can't help it. He said, it's hard to
erase thirty five years of memories. He's more comfortable taking
me out in public, and he's finally wearing his wedding ring,
so it's starting to feel real. Will my husband ever
love me? Or will this always be a marriage of
convenience to him? Well, he's seventy four and he's done

(56:41):
the same thing for so long, so I suppose there
is some truth to after thirty five years of marriage.
It's hard to stop calling you by his late wife's name.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
It could happen.

Speaker 9 (56:50):
It's a hard habit to break, he said, he tries
to say your name, but he can't help it. But
you know, he just needs to try harder. I'm sure
he wouldn't like it if you called him by your
ex's name, So you have a point there.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
I'm with you on that one. Anyway.

Speaker 9 (57:06):
He's also not the most sentimental man that you could
be with. You notice that when he so blatantly asked
you for sex when you were taking care of him
after his wife passed, he might still be grieving. It's
only been like a year, right you said, so he
you know, give him a little grace on this one.
Look at the positives. He's good in bed, he takes

(57:28):
care of you financially, which is probably one of the
reasons you married him anyway, and he's wearing his new
wedding ring and starting to take you out more. It
sounds like he's coming around, albeit slowly. He just needs
some time, Steve.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Wow, Well, Sheiry, why don't you just say you didn't
want to ask a letter today? You know, you know,
you know we could do that. You know you could
just take a day off, because I understood clearly by
listening to your answer, Sulty, you would not co me
it trying to help her at all. And you know

(58:05):
why you couldn't help her at all, Shirley, because in
this letter it has a lot of See, Shirley, you
don't like to confront women when they do something wrong.
Oh but you a tear dude.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Ass up.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
But when you see women, well, Sureley, in this letter
right here, you didn't reprimand a woman, not one time.
And I just found it to be a letter full
that required some reprimands. So let me just show you
just a couple of things you might have overlooked in

(58:42):
your effort to just she'll know not not tell a
woman when she wrong. We have to do it both ways, surely.
That's why it's called the Strawberry Letter. Because Shirley would
always take the side of a woman ninety.

Speaker 6 (58:59):
Seventy percent of the time.

Speaker 9 (59:01):
And you always take the sight of the men unless
you can't find them a good damn right, because.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Because we have to have a balance.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Well, let's okay, here we go. I'm forty seven. My
husband is seventy four. See how cute that is. See
how the numbers is reversed. Yeah, forty seven seventy four
had a nice little ring to it, didn't Now how
much older is that for her? Twenty seven? Something like that.

(59:33):
I used to work for him. Now here we go. Now,
I used to work for him, but we became close
over the years. But I never had any romantic interests.
We never had any romantic interests in each other. That's
not true. I will show you why that that's not
a true statement. His wife passed in twenty twenty one

(59:55):
from NW Millia, and I was there for him. Okay.
I made sure he ate took his medicine, and I
got a few ladies from my church to assist me
with cleaning out his wife's closet so he could move on.
It was a process that took a food four year.
What who clause that you've been over cleaning out took

(01:00:18):
you a year to do it? Huh? Who who claws?
And you know take one year to clean out? She's stalling.
She's stalling. Surely she wants a reason to go over there.
Surely it ain't take no year to clean out this moment.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Clause she said it did.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Surely that is not true. I'd have been in some
huge class. Surely don't take a year to move nobody
out of the damn house. All right, Oh we come back.
I'm gonna go through this real quick.

Speaker 9 (01:00:56):
I'm gonna of Steve's response coming up at twenty three
minutes after the hour today Strawberry letter, subject, if I
had a dollar for every time dot dot dot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
hard morning show.

Speaker 9 (01:01:12):
All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is if I had a dollar for every time?

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Well, you know what, that's even funny too. I just
picked that up. If I had a dollar for every time.
Well we gonna find out a little bit later on
what she would do if she had a dollar every
time something happened. But this is a money call right here.
This is a woman right here who took advantage of
a situation and surely didn't want to say it, but
here I did. She's forty seven. She married a woman

(01:01:43):
a man. That's seventy four. You take forty seventy, flip
it over, that's seventy four. I used to work for him.
We became close over the years, but we never had
any romantic interest. Y'all came close over the years, but
you didn't have what was you getting close? Fault? What
was you getting close for? But we never had any
When a man gets close to you, you don't think that.
Girls stop. Then his wife passed away in twenty twenty

(01:02:08):
one from pneumonia, and I was there for him immediately.
I'm talking about immediately soon as she passed. I made
sure he ate it, took his medicine. I got a
few ladies from my church to assist because if some
things she didn't know how to do, and to assist
you with cleaning out his wife's closet so he could

(01:02:30):
move on. It was a process that took a full year. Lady,
Stop you turned this into a process to take a
year so you could dig your heels in. It does
not take a year to clean out nobody closet. You
can move out of a mansion in less than a year.

(01:02:52):
Stop it. He told me he was used to seeing
me every day. Yeah, because you're over there cleaning the
I taken a damn year. What was you taking over?
I'm gonna take a shoe out today. I'm gonna take
one brawl out. Tomorrow. I'm gonna come back and get
that other shoe next week, girl, buy it. I'm gonna

(01:03:15):
take one pair of panty holes out. Well, let me
go now, this week is panty week. I'm gonna take
a pair of panties out each week. She over there
trying to see you every day. And then he said,
and then he got used to seeing me every day,
not just to work. He said he liked the way
I took care of him, and then he asked me
for sex. Hell yeah, girl, I should like the way

(01:03:38):
you cook and like the way you clean that up,
and I like the way you put them dishes in
that dishwash. I should like the way you wipe out
that toilet. Girl, you wanna hair six? And then guess
what she said, Yeah, he said after that a few
days and then I was just like what. And then
after a few days of process of what he said,
it always take her a long time to do something.

(01:04:00):
She took a year to clean out that damn closet.
Now he asked for sex. That she did a few
days to process that. But guess what she came back
and said, I'm gonna let him have a little taste
because I felt like he needed it. I bet you did.
I bet you did. Yeah, he needed and you did too.
You've been over there a year trying to get it.

(01:04:21):
Why don't you put yourself in this lattitude? Anyway? So
I told him we had sex every day. He had
to see me every day after that, and then I
told him he had to make an honest woman out
of me because the rumors started to swirl around the office. Oh,
they wasn't just swirling at the office. They were swirling
down at the office, down at the church. Everything. We
got married, and it wasn't the romantic wind that I

(01:04:43):
always dreamed about. He was financially stable, of course he was.
That's why you wanted his old ass, because he was
financially stable. Stop lady. He was great in bed for
an old man. The only thing I'm having trouble with
is him calling me he deceased wife's name while we
having sex. If I had a dollar every time this happened,

(01:05:03):
i'd be a millionaire. Well that's what you made him for, anyway,
But you can't get a dollar for every time he
called you or his name, O gree gool goet you true,
good true Dudel and me, come on, good good truth,

(01:05:24):
got truth? Got you name? It's an old lass name.
What's his name anyway? Othello? When they when they went
out somewhere, they used to call him O g. But
every time he's about to finish, he says her name.

(01:05:45):
He told me he tries to say my name, but
he can't help it. This Hardy Race, thirty five years
of memories.

Speaker 7 (01:05:49):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
He's more comfortable taking me out in public. He's finally
wearing his wedding ring. I'm starting and it so it's
starting to feel real. Well, my husband never loved me?
Or am I always be a marriage or convenience to him? Well?
You think you a marriage or convenience to him, but
didn't you marry him for convenience? He's financially stable, he

(01:06:16):
owned the company you worked at. So now will I
ever stop being a marriage or convenience for him? Well?
Ain't he a marriage or convenience for you? You getting
married for the reason and now you're living in it.
It's okay, and he gonna keep calling you her name.

But Anthony Edwards show believe he can't because he is.
He told me, he said, man, I'm not gonna sit

got to see what happens.

Speaker 8 (01:08:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:08:55):
I got a feeling, man, it's gonna be a serious
You think this can go seven now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
No, I've seen nothing that says to me this will
go to seven games and this is over over the
next one.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
We can we can go ahead, just go here. Put
Dallas and Boston in this whole thing. The next one
will end tomorrow night. Everybody going on vacation.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
All that.

Speaker 6 (01:09:27):
They still gonna lose this game.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
But I mean, it's I mean, I appreciate Bravado. I
mean I expect him to say nothing else. I mean,
I don't expect to hear no guy, go well, we
down three. That's pretty much it. I expect them to
say exactly what they said. But then I'm just telling you, well,
from what I've seen, if Dallas come to play, and
if Minnesota come to play, Dallas has an edge down

(01:09:51):
towards the end. Worked out for him last night. It's cool.
I mean, I said, I got no skin in the game.
But you know, I mean, if I had to, if
I'm pulling for a team, I'm pulling for a map.
You can believe that best believed. Ain't no doubt Kyrie
is everything right now, and so it is Dunk. But
but but them young but them young big boys on Dallas.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
No, they for real, man, Yeah, them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Young boys down on that paint line. They for real,
they for real, they're skinny when they got knocked out
the other day.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
There you go, all right, Junior, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:10:32):
Steve.

Speaker 9 (01:10:33):
Coming up at the top of the hour, did a
man set up his girlfriend just to have an excuse
to break up with her? The girlfriend is asking for
advice Steve on how to keep him. We'll get into
it right after this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
You're listening morning show, all right, So Steve, this one
is from Hannah in Culver City.

Speaker 9 (01:10:53):
Hannah says, I'm basically homeless because my boyfriend set me
up and had his brother come to our house and
wait for him to get home. He was watching our
interactions on our cameras and I had a bralat and
biker shorts. That's what I had on, which I always
wear in public.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
And to the gym.

Speaker 9 (01:11:10):
I made his brother an omelet and we ate. His
brother said he can tell I've been working on my thighs,
and I said that I love leg day.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Then my boyfriend walked in.

Speaker 9 (01:11:22):
He told me to He took me to the back
to tell me he was watching our interactions and I
was inappropriate. Did he do this just to break up
with me. He asked me to move out, but I
have nowhere to go. How do I explain to him
that it was nothing?

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
This was a setup. This is all he wanted. I mean, cause,
first of all, let me tell you something. If he
had a real problem, he'd have a problem with his brother. Yo, man,
what's so you notice, my girl? But his brother wasn't inappropriate.
His brother wasn't inappropriate at all. You know. Now, if

(01:12:01):
the brother said, you know, I can tell you've been
working on your thighs now, it depends on how his
brother said it. But if he now, let me ask
you a question. On these cameras, you can't hear words,
Katie either way. Either way, lady, he set you up
and he looking for easy out. You ain't got nowhere

(01:12:23):
to go. Go to your mama house, go to one
of your friend's house. But I think this is this
is gonna lead to some other stuff, because he got
some suspicions for some reason, maybe jealous that you're going
down to the gym and all this head and he
thank you and got you fine for him.

Speaker 9 (01:12:38):
I don't know, I don't know, Okay, all right, So
she's trying to explain to him that nothing was wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
But the yeare we got up, but he saw the video.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Though he's over it.

Speaker 9 (01:12:54):
All right, We have time for another one, Steve. This
is from Dion and Philly. Dion says, I told my
aunt that I to mess with the man that she's marrying,
and she told me that everyone has a past. I
told her I could have sex with him again if
I wanted to, and she said that she doesn't put
anything past the man. My aunt is only fifty eight
years old, and I think she is settling for this

(01:13:15):
man because she's afraid of being alone. Why would she
marry this man? Should I step aside and let her
do it?

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
Why is you in this?

Speaker 6 (01:13:23):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Yeah? What did you turn all this hipfo? And I
slept with him? Yeah? Everybody and everybody does have a past.
I could sleep with him again. Well, I don't put
nothing past me, you know, But then you know, maybe
you can't sleep with him again. You never know what's

(01:13:44):
wrong with you though? Should I step aside? Why is
she marry this man?

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
You mad because he ain't want to marry you. Oh okay,
you passed out the cookie and got nothing. She passed
out the cookie. She getting wedding. That's what you see
is right here. Next question, Shirley, And this is her aunt.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):

and she believes she's settling.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):

she's thinking she's helping her aunt.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
That's the thing, you know. Yeah, by telling her.

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
It's too much.

And we'll close out the show with the one and
only Steve Harvey right after this, you're listening morning show.
All right, guys, here we are last break of the day.
This is going to be a short week for us.
Good day today, and Steve, you have.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
You know, my clothes remarks, and this is kind of
about what I'm mixed in this week. It's the thing
about friendship. You know, people who don't know me have
assessed me so differently over the years. I've read things
about myself. I've read accusations about me, my family, everything.

(01:21:21):
You know that social media can be just a jogging
not of foolishness, and I've really I've gotten accustomed to
it now. It used to bother me a bit, but
it doesn't anymore. It just really really doesn't. I'm so
above it now and I thank God for that realization.
One of the things that I've held fast to over

(01:21:43):
my years is the genuineness of friendship. It's such an
important thing, man, you know, people always ask me that
better so, who are your celebrity friends? You know that
list is so so short. I mean it's so so short.
I mean, really it's alarmingly short. They don't fit on

(01:22:07):
three four fingers, not even. But you know, over the years. Man,
I've remained close to a group of guys that I
met in college. You know, you know, it all started
because we had a similar bond simply because we you know,
we were all college students. We were just young men.
I was seventeen when I went to college. Some of

(01:22:28):
these cats was older. Some of them were there before
I got there. But you know, the common bond you meet.
Some of your greatest friendships come from college because you
meet people after you left high school that you really
bond with for whatever reasons, mostly because you all share
a common interest of trying to better yourself. I've been

(01:22:49):
very fortunate and that I've been able to hang on
to some of those relationships. The appeal for me is
there's a group of men that knew me before I
was any of this, that they treated me any differently.
Now we have a special bond because we all pledge
the same fraternity. We're all members of the same fraternity,

(01:23:09):
and the selection process back then will shall we just
say different, and so we share that bond. But the
genuineness of it is what's really appealing to me. And
thing I've learned about friendship is not a matter of
what you have it's what you give. And friendship for

(01:23:30):
me has been in exchange. It has provided me a
level of comfort. If you can find somebody that you
can tell anything to and not be judged by it,
you're getting there. If you have somebody that you can
go to with any problem and without any hesitation or

(01:23:52):
form of judgment, will assist you. If you have somebody
who will stand with you in the middle of a battle,
put his back up against your back and just start
swinging and we'll discuss what happened later, you have something.

(01:24:12):
And that's what I've discovered in a group of men.
And it's sort of crazy, man, because they get together
a lot more often because you know, they live in
Cleveland or they live in Ohio and they so they
get together, they go to district meetings and everything. I'm
not afforded that luxury because I live away and I
do a lot of traveling. So they see each other

(01:24:33):
a little bit more frequently. Man. I see pictures of them. Man,
it always makes me smile. But once a year we
have a gathering and it's like and it's like we
never stopped. Do you have friends that you don't you
that you don't have to see all the time. But
when you see them, y'all just automatically good. You pick
right up where you left off. Because don't you hate

(01:24:55):
those people in your life? Where? Man, you ain't call me,
ain't heard from you when you gon't. I thought we
was better than that. How come you ain't really y'all? Come,
you ain't calling me because we not dating? Damn dog,
That's why I ain't called you because you ain't my wife.
I didn't call you man because I was busy. I

(01:25:17):
didn't call you now because now I have grandkids. You
got grandkids, You got a wife, you got a business,
you running, you got stuff you doing. We ain't got
time to talk all the time. But can we just
get back to where we was? And if you have
people man that don't do that right there, they're not
really your friends. See, I don't like friends of convenience.

(01:25:39):
I don't like friends who my friends. When they need
they they picked up. I want a friend, man, that's
my friend, no matter what happened. When I fall on
hard times, man, they there when it's going good day there,
when they crying about something, they there. If I'm crying
about something, they there. That's what it is. And that's

(01:26:00):
what it is, man. It's an important thing, man, And
just to take a moment man to uh, I probably
shouldn't now, but I can't help it. You know this,
this group of men are members of O Make a
south Fire fraternity, right, and it's the only fraternity that
is built on the principle of friendship. All the other

(01:26:21):
fraternities and I bow down to them. I mean, I
give them all the ultimate respect. They're built on brotherhood.
Afi A was first. Then you got the nowps Ka side,
you got Phive Beta Sigma, and you got the the
group the Eyeholders. You know, I don't wanna leave them
out cause I be hearing from them all the time.
But what whatever you in, it's it's built on brotherhood.

(01:26:43):
And I command that. Well. Make a south Fire is
built on friendship. It's a different thing.

Speaker 5 (01:26:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
The Bible speaks about friendship. A friend can be closer
than even a brother. And I found that in a
group of men, and I'm grateful for it. And friendship
is one thing for show. It's essential for the soul.
Friendship is essential to the soul. You can live without
your mother, you can live without your brother, you can
make it without your father, as many of us have
found out. But you can't live in this world without

(01:27:13):
a friend, period. You cannot live in this world without
a friend. I think we got this one right. Those
are my closed remarks today. If you didn't get anything
out of it, be here tomorrow. We'll try it again.
Talk to God today. Love to hear from you, okay.
