Looking. Come come on, you'll think.

Speaker 8 (02:00):
Uhhah, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to
the voice, Come on, dig me now one and on that.
Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well all right, I've.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Learned something and it's sharing time. And I am ever appreciated.
I do appreciate God for all that he allows me
to learn in my life. Well, one of the best
lessons I've learned is that hardship teaches you some great lessons.

(02:41):
Challenges brings about some of my best results. I think
what I'm trying to say is, and every challenge in hardship,
every setback, I've learned something so so valuable. Here's here's
what I've You know, I've known this, but I've just

(03:04):
learned it at a different angle. Appreciation and gratitude is
the key to having more.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I don't know how that sound to you, but I
can't tell you how true it is. God being fair
and just as he really is. He really is. He's
a fair and a just God. What's most beneficial to
us is he happens to be full of mercy and grace.

(03:39):
And I'm telling you something, man, I've probably benefited from
his grace and mercy more than anything else. I mean, really, man,
if it wasn't for him just forgiving me, and then
for him just touching my life life the way he has,

(04:02):
I mean, I'm not here in this position today. I'm
just not. But a funny thing has happened along the way,
even to you. If you look at it, is it
your genuine appreciation and gratitude has been the key to
you having more for your continued blessings and for making

(04:24):
room for Heaven to open up and pour out blessings
that you don't have room enough to receive. If you
look at it, see God being affair and just God,
which he is. Why would he put more on you
than you can bear? If you've noticed everything that's happened

(04:45):
in your life, if you're still here, you've made it.
You know, forget how rough it was got that, but
you made it forget what it sent you through, and
it how it made you feel. You made it. Now,
what makes people give up and you hear about people
committing suicide is they leave the God out of their

(05:08):
life and they start allowing that other voice to control.
And if it's really true that God never puts more
on you, then you can bear. As long as you
stay connected to God, you can get through anything. But
you lose that connection, you lose that communication, you lose

(05:28):
that relationship with him. If you're not having a relationship
with God, then who you having a relationship with? Now
it ain't but two forces at work at all time.
It's good and evil. It's positive and negative. It is God,

(05:49):
it's Satan. Now, this is at work all the time.
So if you're not being positive about everything, you leave
room for negativity to step in it. If you're not
trying to be righteous in your way, then you allow
evil to step in. If you don't work on your

(06:09):
relationship with God. Come on, now, look who you're letting
step in. So now I'm asking you to understand that
God never puts more on you than you can bear. Okay,
now that we got that clear, that's a fact. Okay, Now,
With that fact in mind, let's go over this right here.
Why would God, being as just and merciful as he is,

(06:34):
put more on you than you can bear? Example, if
God has given you blessings and all you're doing is
complaining about him, you're never showing any appreciation of gratitude
about it. Why would he give you some more stuff
to be ungrateful for? Why would he give you some
more stuff to complain about? Why would he give you

(06:56):
some more stuff that you would not show any more
appreciation for? I mean, this thing is real simple, man,
ain't it if you think about it?

Speaker 6 (07:03):
So?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
A lot of times, man, when I was going through
my positions of not having and wondering at all, I here,
I ended up checking myself and going, man, I'm not
even showing any gratitude or appreciation for the things He
has done for me. Start showing some appreciation and gratitude.
Because it's the key to having more. It's the key
to continued blessings. It's the key to the wonders of

(07:26):
heaven opening up and pouring out a blessing that you
won't have room enough to receive. It's the appreciation and
gratitude of what you already have. As minimal as it
may appear to be right now for you, it is
still what you have. But if you've shown no gratitude

(07:47):
for the minimal, why would he give you the maximum.
I mean, I'm just really just trying to put it real, real, simple,
so I can keep under standing this thing right here.
So let me give you an example. In my life,
I had gotten so busy at one point that I

(08:09):
had began to complain about how busy I was. This
is true because I am busy, but it ain't the
busy part because I asked to be busy. You know,
I asked God to give me opportunities and to make
a way for me. Well, in that you got to
do something, and you got to get busy. But I

(08:32):
began to complain about the busyness and how busy I was,
and I noticed that a couple of things slowed up
for me. So I had got to the point where
I wasn't showing real gratitude for it. Well, I looked
up and a couple of things started slowing down, and
then I had to catch myself and I went, wow, man,

(08:53):
you have got to start embracing the fact that you
are this busy, embrace the fact that what all comes
along with it. Because to whom much is given, much
is required. You gotta start embracing the requirement part if
you want to continue with the giving part. So I
changed my attitude. I caught myself and I started thinking

(09:15):
them and showing real gratitude for how busy I was
instead of complaining about how busy I was. And then
guess what, It opened up the windows of heaven and
some more blessings got pulled out. It just works that
way all the time, for everybody, for me, for you,
for everybody. So listen, y'all again. Your appreciation and gratitude
is the key to having more. Your appreciation and gratitude

(09:38):
is the key to continued blessings, and your appreciation and
gratitude is the only way that you can get those
windows of heaven to open up and pull out these
blessings that you won't have room enough to receive. You
got to act like you're glad for what you got
in order to get more. You feel me, huh, let's go.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
You're listening.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
Morning show.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Ladies and gentlemen, let me have your divided attention. This
is the Steve Harvey Morning show. Here we go again.
You know, ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you how
grateful I am to God Almighty for just for just everything,
for all of it, For the breath of life, for
a measure of health, for opportunity, for another shot at

(10:22):
another day, for another amazing just just to have a
relationship with him, just to be, you know, to feel
like something might be going on, and got a place
to go with it, you know, to have some dreams
and visions and got some help with it. Boy, that
God is something else man, all knowing, all powerful. Welcome
to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
This is how we do it.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Shirley Strawberry, Colin Farrel, Mississippi, Monica Junior, and the legend
that is nephew Tommy Junior. What's going on with you today?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Man?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Man? Let me ask you.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
So when you was on that Baker.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
And I know you said you be talking to God
a lot, what did you learn while you was out
there this time? What's the less you've got?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
This time? You got? Boy? Man, I love quite a
bit of them today, But you know, I have to
remember something I was reviewing in my notes. You know
that I take I got a little journal down. I'm
wanna do it every single day, but I try to
do it as many times in the week as I can.
And I was reviewing something, and you know, there's a

(11:21):
scripture in the Bible that says you have not cause
you ask not right, Okay, But then if you keep
reading a little bit further, which is true, most people
don't have what they want in life because they never asked.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
God for it.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
But if you read a little bit further, it says
you have not because you ask a miss which I
interpret it to me, you ask for the wrong reason.
Sometimes you're not getting what you want from God because
you're asking, but you're asking for the wrong reason. I mean,

(11:58):
so I had to think about it. Everything you ask
God for have to just benefit you. Can you not
do something that would give God the glory? Could you
not ask for something that could benefit others? Okay? It's
like that. Okay, Like you want some more money, Okay,
ain't nothing wrong with that. You should ask God for

(12:18):
some more money. But is the money just gonna benefit
you for pleasure? Are you gonna take some of that
money and help somebody that needs something? Are you gonna
take some of that money and give it towards a cause.
Are you gonna take something some of this money and

(12:38):
build your foundation or just help you know your family
members that you know need something. So you gotta remember
when you ask God for something, it can't always just
be about you because you on a better looking car,
or you on a bigger house, or you on a
nicer wardrobe. Sometimes you ask and you have not because

(12:59):
you ask a miss. I mean, think about it. If
you got everything you need, which a lot of people do, food, shelter, clothing,
those are our needs right, So the rest of it
we in the wont category. So ain't nothing wrong with
you want more because he'll give you more because I'm
showing the wont category. But I won't so I can

(13:21):
help benefit some other people too, And God bless you
with that. That's what I learned. So that's just me.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think you got too much. I think you got
way too much. If you ask, you ask him way
too much. Once you let somebody else have you get
out alive?

Speaker 4 (13:36):
All right?

Speaker 11 (13:37):
Coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour, we'll
hear from the nephew if he runs that prank back
right after.

Speaker 1 (13:43):

in Toledo, Simon Rides. My boyfriend is still married, but
he lives at my house. I know for a fact

(21:34):
that his wife threw eggs on my car, but he said,
I have no proof. He is taking her side, even
though I've never had problems like this till I met him.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Why is he protecting his wife?

Speaker 6 (21:48):
What? What? What?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Lady?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Why must he protecting his fight? To go to real question?
Why is he living in your house? And the wife
know the way over there? That's the bigger question. Why
is he protecting his wife? Why he living in your house?
You know, y'all all of us make mistakes, right, all

(22:14):
of us do. We're all human. We've all made up
of one hundred I got it, ain't no problem, so
we ain't worried about that. But you can't do your wrong,
and then when some wrong happened, you don't understand what's wrong.
That's where we at. You got a married man living

(22:36):
in your house, that you do you know he married?
Now his wife Ben drove over there and threw some
eggs on your house, on your car. Now you want

Speaker 4 (23:01):
I'm just you know, I.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Don't want to appear righteous or nothing, but I'm just
asking a question. Could it be because they still mad
me and she upset that you done took him in
prior to the divorce. That's that's all it could be.
I'm just saying, once again, we all make mistakes.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Got that.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
I ain't judging you for it. But when you but

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, when when it happens? Yeah, moments?

Speaker 3 (32:29):
All right, that's THEO I wanted to.

Speaker 11 (32:37):
Flavor play is the real m v P of the
Paris Olympics. According to the New York Times, US women's
water polo team doesn't receive the same scholarship sponsorship dollars
as in sports like swimming, gymnastics, or track and field. However,
before the Olympic game, some of the women water polo
players took to social media and asked for support. Flavor

(33:00):
Flav stepped up and sponsored the women's water polo program,
So wow, thank you.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
He also.

Speaker 11 (33:09):
Yeah, he also heard about American discus thrower Veronica Frayley,
who was struggling to pay her rent. Flavor and Serena
Williams husband Alex o'hanyan stepped up and handled that situation
as well.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I love it. I love yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
I'm gonna tell you something else you know that I
learned this year. Do you know that you get paid
for gold medal?

Speaker 6 (33:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
We talked about it all.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
We talked about it. But it's different.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, it's the lowest. Yeah, because we have so many
gold medalists. That's that's their their logic, that's what they say.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's gold medals just life changing,
like quarter of a million stuff like that in other countries.
Good reward these athletes who bring gold and glory to
the country. Man, they do have sometimes they get the
athletic things wrong. It's just like they had to make
that change with college football. You know, college sports allow

(34:14):
these cats to make money. You gotta you know, you
want them to represent your country, you should pay these people.
They got to quit their job and people got to
chip in and help them.

Speaker 6 (34:23):
No.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Man, if you have a prospect, a metal prospect contender
in your country, you got to take over and help them.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
It ain't like they don't have the money, y'all stop.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Right, Yeah, this country and you can't do nothing that
there's nothing that you've seen that you can at all
for you.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
You can't go get nobody else.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I don't know where they get all that money in sports.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
So muny sponsors surely they buy I know that.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
But yeah, I'm just saying it's so much if if
they put.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Their logo on this track athlete or this woman, you
know how many shoes they sail off that?

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Not many people want a shirt because they saw Tiger
Woods with it on, or somebody will a shoe that
they see Steph Carry and they think they're gonna hear
the jumping.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Now right, it's the it's the shirt, the shoe up.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I got a yellow pair of Steph Carry's shoes. Yes, yes,
still can't here the game?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
How's your game?

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Eighteen percent from three point?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Chakari got some commercials though, I'm happy for us big Nike.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, billboards all in Dallas.

Speaker 11 (35:47):
Yeah, all right, all right, coming up in twenty minutes
after the hour, will tell you about swing state's voting information.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Right after this, you're.

Speaker 9 (35:55):
Listening Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
All right, Steve Harvey, Nation, We want you to listen up.

Speaker 11 (36:00):
There are about seven swing states that will have a
big and major impact on the presidential election in November. Now,
what are the swing states? According to iamvoter dot com,
that's i am voter dot com. A swing state is
any state that could be reasonably won by either the
Democratic or the Republican presidential candidate.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
By a swing in votes.

Speaker 11 (36:26):
Swing states tend to be comprised of mixed populations and
flit between red and blue each election season. The twenty
twenty four swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay.

Speaker 11 (36:47):
Now, in these seven states, a total of ninety three
electoral votes are up for grabs. And you know you
have to have the winning number of electoral votes to win.
It's not about popularity, it's about electoral votes. So these
ninety three electoral votes are up for grabs which could
determine the outcome of the election. They're about ninety days,

(37:08):
only ninety days left until the election.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
So we got to get on this. Registered to vote now.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
And also there's a new warning out that I've noticed
when you go to the polls to vote and you
get your ballot, if they hand your ballot and on
the outside of the ballot there is an R or
a D on it, it will be thrown out. That
is the new thing that they're doing. So if the

(37:35):
outside of your ballot is not clean, it can't have
no initial, no RD on it, I on it. It
can't have nothing on the outside. If they give it
to you, just say, excuse me, I'd like another ballot.
Please be very aware of what they're doing to suppress
this vote this year because they are trying to steal

(37:56):
the election. They've gotten rid of so many former election
officials and workers that that were claiming it was a
clean election. They are trying to steal this election. So
be very aware of all of the tricks. Y'all. We
gotta get vote. You all hear me on this radio show.

(38:16):
You know who I am. You can say what you
want to say. I've always been a supporter of Biden
Obama and now Vice President and future president Kamala Harris.
That's who I am. You can you can put me
in line with all them AI photos you want and
do all that bull crap. It ain't gonna work game

(38:37):
on Steve Harvey for Kamala Harris. Put that down and
you write something else. If when I find you, I'm
pimp slapping you.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Really, you can't do that.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
You still hood now, steal hood now, you know.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Just encourage people to get out and vote, to register
and then vote.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
I'm just talking about talk about me.

Speaker 11 (39:04):
If I see you coming up at thirty four minutes
after the Hour, Houston Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud talks about
his struggle with cursing and using profanity.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, we'll talk about it right after this.

Speaker 11 (39:19):
You're listening Hard Morning Show. Houston Texans quarterback CJ. Stroud
struggles with cursing and using profanity, and he says he
is trying to do better.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
He's twenty twenty three Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 11 (39:34):
He recently appeared on the Sports Spectrum podcast to discuss
his Christianity. DJ knows that he is a high profile,
influential athlete and that Christians aren't perfect, but he is
struggling with cursing and wants to tame his tongue.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Take a listen.

Speaker 13 (39:50):
I was like, hey, man, like, I'm struggling with cursing
right now. I'm trying to stop when I'm trying to
just hold back because not only am I trying to
do it for myself, but also like, I can't proclaim
that I love God like a wild mouth like that
just doesn't make sense to me, this hypocritical Sure, I've
been trying with that, And he was like, man, red
James three. So I re James three last night and
I went over the devotion on the way to work

(40:12):
this morning. So it's like stuff like that. Like people
are like just like send me stuff. And I asked
questions and I'm like, I'm I'm a youth in this,
in this walk, and I want to learn more.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Receive nine and two and see what you said.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Let me help you out with this, bro, I love
the Lord too. I'm a Christian. You know what I'm saying.
And they've told you right, there's none perfect, no, not one.
What you've got to remember, though, is don't let outside
external forces cripple your walk because they're clamoring for perfection. Now,

(40:49):
if you want to do better, I understand that, then
go ahead and go ahead and make your efforts to
do better. I have been trying to quit cussing, been
probably now all probably about sixty years now. Yeah, I
first started. I should probably stopped around seven because I

(41:10):
started at four, I became at six. I thought i'd
stopped at seven. I've been struggling with it for sixty years.
And and to be honest, I had to say, but
I'm not. I'm not. It's it's a flaw, but it
I mean.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Bro, I like it.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
I'm just not going to allow it. It's sometimes you
could be a little bit too hard on yourself. Now,
if you can stop, go ahead. I've tried. And the
one time I tried, I had stopped for about four
days and I developed had severe headaches and my teeth
was hurting, and I was constipated to get you on

(41:51):
in just it was just so much, man, I was.
I was having migraines. You have you ever had a
headache and constipated in it? Didn't I say away to go?
And my wife asked me one time, She says, Steve,
what is wrong with you? And then I said to yourself,
I the f don't know. And soon as I said that,

(42:14):
the headache went away. I went right to the bathroom.
And so that's what I mean, me stopping hustling with
locking me up and creating so much stuff. And so
I've just dealt with. But you know, young brother, just
you know, hey, man, have your walk with Christ and
going about your business, because I'm gonna tell you something else.

(42:35):
If it ain't that, it's gonna be something else. And man,
don't you let these little half feathered Christians fool you.
They can walk that walk like they staying on that
white line all they want. Ain't nobody on that tight
rope like that. Man, It's people doing all kinds of stuff.
So just hey, man, don't beat yourself up too bad
about it. If you can improve, go ahead and hold on.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
We just had a good squad on Houston, just got
a good squad. So he can't come in here not cussing,
and we don't make the playoff if it takes cussing
to get to the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
You know, cussing and you're not huling that receive, ain't
listening to that route, and you got to straighten him out.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
That's what I do.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Look, I'm a Christian. I thuded Lord, but let me
if you can't get up in my face too much,
I got to bag you out.

Speaker 6 (43:22):
Now.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
What you want me to do bout it?

Speaker 4 (43:24):
You don't have to.

Speaker 11 (43:25):
He's saying he doesn't want to use profanity and he
wants to do better.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I got all in the NFL cut. The Bible says
do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
So I figure, if you come up under meath, treat
others as you want to be treated. So if you
come up to me and you cuss me out, I'm
assuming that's how you won't be treated. That's why I'm

(43:50):
going with him. Yeah, but he in the NFL.

Speaker 10 (43:53):
He in NFL cussing, Tim cussing, ain't got naw job,
So I don't even see the problem.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
You're doing great, Okay, you don't?

Speaker 2 (44:03):
All right?

Speaker 1 (44:04):

Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for
you here. It is Strawberry letta.

Speaker 11 (54:08):
All right, neph you, thank you. Please help me figure
my man out? Is the subject here. Stephen Shirley. I'm
a fifty one year old married woman and I'm eight
years older than my husband. He is successful, and he
loves the Lord. Those were the two main things I
prayed for when I was dating. God gave me exactly
what I asked for, but I also got lots of

(54:30):
things I didn't ask for. My husband has a quick
tongue and loves to talk back when I'm telling him
how things should be. I know that he hasn't been
exposed too much, so every chance I get, I get
him out of his comfort zone. He wasn't used to
different kinds of food, so I took him to eat
different kinds of seafood and shellfish. I also exposed him

(54:50):
to high end scotch and bourbons because he loves to drink.
He resents the fact that I understand fancy language on
restaurant menus, and he gets me when I order for us.
He's told me that I might as well be the
man in the relationship, and it really makes me sad
for him. I'm only trying to bring him up to
speed so he can get to my level and have

(55:12):
a finer way of living. I've asked him to take
me to a Broadway play for my birthday, and he
told me to plan it like I plan everything else,
and he'll go. I took offense to that because it's
time for him to take the lead. I cannot figure
this man out. If I lead, he gets upset. When
I tell him what I want him to do for me,
he gets upset. We've been married for going on two

(55:33):
years and we still have a.

Speaker 15 (55:34):
Way to go on him being cultured.

Speaker 11 (55:37):
If I left it up to him, we'd eat dinner
in front of the TV every night and he'd never
have a passport. I took this man out of the
country for the first time, so I need a little
more respect from him.

Speaker 15 (55:49):
How can he be so resentful when I'm trying to
help him experience the good life. No, what you're doing
is trying to change this man. I mean, you're trying
to make him into who you you want him to be.
He is who he is, and you can't change that.
He doesn't like it when you're He doesn't like what
you're doing, and he resents it. You said that he's resentful.

(56:11):
You married who you married. Just because you're older than
him doesn't mean you can treat him like that. You're
not his mother, you're his wife. You're telling him what
to do, You're telling him what to eat, what to drink,
you're ordering for him. You're emasculating this poor man, and
he's sick of it.

Speaker 11 (56:28):
Maybe he does want to experience the good life, but
not with you shoving it down his throat and treating
him like he's less than, like he's subpar. Accept him
for who he is first, Since you married him like this,
you knew what you were getting when you married him,
then maybe he'll want to change because you don't make
the good life as you call it, sound good at all.

(56:49):
You don't make it like you don't make it sound good.
And if you keep this up, you're going to lose
this man.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
Steve, ma'am.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
The subject of your letter, excuse me. The subject of
your letter is please help me figure my man out. Now,
that's an easy one for me because men are so simple,
so so simple. If the letter was help me figure
my woman out, we be in here all day because

(57:19):
good luck to the person that can do that. And
women know that women know they are more complex than men.
Men are very very simple. The problem that you need
to fix is not your man. Who you need to
fix is yourself. The reason you having problems with your
man is because of the way you going about it.

(57:43):
I don't know what it is, man that you're not getting,
But let me try to help you. You fifty one
year old married woman, and you eight years older than
your husband. If you don't think that you're using that
to your advantage, you're sadly mistaken. It's the first thing
you mentioned in this letter. All you had to do

(58:04):
was say I've been married. I'm married to my husband,
and he is successful and he loves the Lord. Now,
those are the two main things you prayed for when
you was dating, and God gave you exactly what you
asked for. You asked for a man who loved the
Lord and a man who was successful. Well, how did

(58:26):
he get to be successful? He's obviously done a number
of things correct because he found out that the key
to his success is faith, and he's put in the
work to become successful. So you got it, but you
also got a lot of things you didn't ask for.

(58:47):
My husband has a quick tongue and he loves to
talk back when I'm telling you him how things should be.
Excuse me, when you type that line right there, you
ain't read it. We got a quick tongue and he
loved to talk back when I'm telling him how things
should be. Really, okay, you're telling this successful man who

(59:11):
you prayed for, who oh, by the way, loves the
Lord like you asked for. But let's just stay with
the successful part, which means he has known how to
do something right to get y'all in the position. All
this traveling you doing and fine restaurants and stuff. Hello, Hello,

(59:32):
he has made this affordable. Now I'm not saying what
you do don't count. That ain't what I'm saying. So
before y'all said she can have our own money, she don't.
She don't, she don't. She prayed for a successful man
that loves the Lord. She got him. So he's making
a huge contribution to all this traveling, passport and all
this stuff. Okay, Now he loved to talk back when

(59:56):
I'm telling him how things should be. Listen to yourself,
Shirley said it best. You're nagging the man. Do you
know what nagging is, ladies? Nagging is actually tone and timing.
It's the way you say it and when you say it,
which turns it from talking into nagging. And once you nagging,

(01:00:20):
we threw with you. All right, I got a whole
lot more when we come back.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Hang on, Steve.

Speaker 11 (01:00:24):
Yeah, we'll have part two of your response coming up
at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today Strawberry Letters,
subject please help Me figure my man out. We'll get
back into it right after this.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
You're listening Steve.

Speaker 9 (01:00:36):
Hardy Morning Show.

Speaker 11 (01:00:37):
All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry letter,
the subject please help me figure my man out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
The problem in this letter really is not your man.
The problem in this letter is you. So you can't
change your man, but you can change how you approach
your man, which is I think this is a problem. Now,
you said, you a fifty one year old married woman
to a man who's eight years younger than you. Okay,
you had to tell us that because you want us
to show. You want to demonstrate throughout the letter how

(01:01:05):
you're more knowledgeable than he is and how you have
an upper hand over here. That's what you wanted us
to do. Now, your man, you say, is successful and
he loves the Lord. You said, those are the two
main things that you prayed for, and that's exactly what
God gave you. And then you say you also got
a lot of stuff that you didn't ask for, Like
number one, your husband has a quick tongue. He loved

(01:01:26):
to talk back when I'm telling him how things should be.
I don't know if you read that, but do you
sound crazy? He loved to talk back when I'm telling
him how things should be. You ain't his mama, You're
his damn wife. Now you got this successful man all
of a sudden, he can't do nothing right. You're nagging
this man. Let me remind you all what nagging is.

(01:01:47):
Nagging is tone and timing, Ladies. It turns into nagging
when you change your tone and the timing that you use.
And ain't nobody trying to hear all that? Also, I
know that he hasn't been exposed to so much, so
every chance I get, I get him out of his
comfort zone. He wasn't used to different kinds of food,

(01:02:08):
so I took him to eat different kinds of seafood
and selfish seafood and shellfish. These are shrimp, This is crab.
That is a lobster. These are mussels.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Lady.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Okay, now I'm assuming you got a country boy corn bread, hawks, greens, pintos, chicken,
fried steak, turkey dressing. But now you got him all
up here to eat all kinds of seafood and shellfish. Okay,
thank you, also exposed in the high end scotching bourbons

(01:02:48):
because he loves to drink. Well, you got a successful man,
the loved the lord that drink a lot. You can
turn him on to high end scotching bourbies. I show
wish I knew the names of these, because would open
up this letter for me. I don't know what you've
introduced him to and what he was drinking, but I
sure want to know what it was, because I bet

(01:03:09):
i'd be on here hollering. He resents the fact that
I understand fancy language on restaurant menus lady, Now, we've
all been to fancy restaurants, Italian restaurants. They'll have an
Italian name, but under it it will be in English
what it translates to. So you ain't just in here

(01:03:30):
reading five different languages. You ain't at the Chinese restaurant
just reading all this stuff in the you ask him
for number seven, just like the rest of us. You
ain't in the Chinese restaurant reading all that writing and
going backwards. You ain't. No, no, no, no no no.
So I already know, and he gets mad when I

(01:03:53):
order for us. See now, I'm gonna tell you something.
You stay out front. You're talking to him. You don't
like his quick tongue when he talking back to you,
when you're telling him something. You in here, you're telling
him what to drink, and now you're ordering in the restaurant.
He get mad when I ordered for us because you
keep running out in front. You know it might take

(01:04:13):
him a little bit longer. But maybe he didn't want
that to eat. Now you ought telling him what to say,
telling him what to drink. Now you're telling him what
to eat. He don't want that. He told me that
I might as well be the man in the relationship
because that's how you act, and it really makes me
sad for him. I'm only trying to bring him up
to speed so he can get to my level and

(01:04:34):
have a finer way of living. Well, if you was
all that what you need the successful man for, you
do remember what you asked God for?

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
So if you was all that, on that all that level,
but you know what you was, You was on that
level by your damn self, cause you done ran everybody
else off just like this, then God finally send you
what you want and you're finn run this one off.
You're busy, boss, you're busy taking charge and you're busy
running out front. Now the man then told you you

(01:05:06):
might as well be the man in the relationship. I've
asked him to take me to a Broadway play for
my birthday. He told you, playing it like you're playing
everything else, and he'll go cause he already know what
he gonna plan. Ain't gonna be up to speed, So
playing it and I go. I took offense to that,
or now you mad? I'm telling him what to eat
and drink. I can't figure this man out. If I lead,

(01:05:29):
he gets some say why don't you quit leading? She
gonna sit your ass down somewhere. You asked for a
successful man, he got it. Get your girl friends to
go eat all that craw fishing at two fee and
all that he wants some damn popeyes. Man, Sometimes man,
you don't for real. Man, for real, dog. We been

(01:05:51):
married going on two years and we still have to
We still have a ways to go and getting him cultured.
He ain't cultured.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
He country.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
If I left it up to him, weed eat dinner
front of TV every night. I took this man out
to country for the first time, so he need to
be a little more respectful for me. How can he
be so disrespectful when I'm helping experience good life? He
already had a good life. Oh he met you, He
was already successful and he knew the Lord. He should
have left your bullshyr ass where you was. He don't

(01:06:20):
want no more damn shell fish. And he don't want
no more moose i Lai. He wants some grease.

Congratulations to some on bows for winning the overall goal
in the Olympics. And uh, she lost in the balance
beam individual cause she fell off. I don't know how
she stayed up there any damn way. She was gonna
slightly hurt. It's amazing that she was on that beam anything.

(01:07:50):
And then she came back and she took in the
in the flow or she took a selma because she
heard herself. Then they had a controversy in the floor
exercise where they had gave a bronze medal to the
girl from Spain and then she was standing up there
holding the flag and then they had a reviewer and

(01:08:11):
they gave it to the American Jordan. And so that
was a miss Universe moment for her. Ass she had
to lay her flag down and she was crying. I
felt so bad for her. But the relief that was
on my face because once again to know that somebody
else and gave out the wrong damn name. The joy
that runs through my body is overwhelming. So sorry about

(01:08:33):
the little girl that lost, but glad it wasn't me though,
And lord, I know how you feel. Yeah, at least
I did in practice for four years and they took
it from me. Mind wasn't nothing but a beauty pageant
wasn't yours to win, So you're lost. That's all I
got to say to it. Also, doing the one hundred Wonder,
say congratulations to Noel Lives. He won a hundred. He

(01:08:54):
eked out the Jamaicans, even though I always been pulling
for the Jamaicans because they're my people. They want it anyway.
And then silver go to Fred Curly and the gold
go to Noah Lyles and then the boy out of
Jamaica took the silver. So that was good. All black
podium on that one. Also want to send a shout
out to anybody that synchronized swim. Anytime you can turn

(01:09:17):
your ass upside down in the water and still stay
in the water is amazing to me because once my
face go in the water and I turned upside down,
I got to get out and blow my nose, So
congratulations to all the synchronized swimmers, and two white dudes
want to hammer. Congratulations to that. Also, Chicai Richardson is
a new track star. She wanted silver in the hundred.

(01:09:39):
Congratulations to the black girl from Lucia once again, all
black girl podium, and then the all black girl podium
goes to Congratulations to the little black girl from Brazil

took third. It's been an all black thing right there,
but we're gonna keep it hood right here.

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
Coming up at the top of the hour, a man
on social media needs some advice about his wife. He
says his wife is uncomfortable after some swingers tried to
holler at her at a party. We'll talk about that
right after this.

Speaker 9 (01:10:12):
You're listening hard Morning Show.

Speaker 11 (01:10:15):
All right, Steve, This is from g on Reddit. Ge says,
over the weekend, I was excited to be invited to
a surprise birthday party for a friend I hadn't seen
since college. My wife went with me, and it was
supposed to be a great time as I introduced her
to people from my past and exchanged old stories. That
all backfired. However, when one couple there whom I've never

(01:10:39):
met before, made it clear that they were swingers and
very interested in us, my wife tuned them out and
now refuses to ever go to another party with old
friends of mine. And she's even questioning whether I've been
honest with her about my past or what I'm interested
in sexually. It's not a lifestyle I've never participated in,

(01:11:00):
nor have I ever wanted to. But it seems like
now I'm guilty by association. Is there any getting past this?

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Well, bruh?

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
I mean, obviously some of your old friends have some
people in their life that are suspect, And I don't
know why you would keep wanting to take your wife
around somebody that can raise questions and start fires in
your own house. I wouldn't do it. So you trying

(01:11:32):
to make your wife still go to these parties with
your old friends. You know? Sometimes, man, you gotta cut
people loose, you know. Man, My daddy always says something,
everybody come with you can't go with you. It's people
in your life that's in your life for a season.
You gotta start recognizing that just because you hung with
somebody doing a certain time in your life. It don't

(01:11:53):
mean you need to hang with them now. Some people
never change. Just hey man, everybody, everybody ain't fight you
no more, you know, And the average person has has
trouble with that because you think you're supposed to stay
loyal to relationship. The relationships is in your past. Man.
You ain't got to stay with them kind.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Of people for the movie. I mean, we can't just
go look and just see what they're talking about. See
there right there, I mean just to see I just
see what they're doing. Now, your wife back at the house, Well,
what is all this? What is they looking upside my
head phone?

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
And your friends? So what was you doing? I ain't
never been interested in that, but every time they go
something like that pop up. Quite exposing your wife to that?

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Get some new.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
Friends, okay, all right?

Speaker 11 (01:12:44):
Being Steve Harvey says, my ex cheated on me with
another guy for three months before I found out and
we broke up over it. I just learned that he's
married and has two kids. I've moved on, but I
feel bad for his poor wife. Should I tell her
about her cheating husband? Or just mind my own business?

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Man? Come on, dog, for real, I've got nothing to do.
With you, bro, you feel bad for his cheating one?
Now you don't you feel bad because your girl stepped
out on you with this married man. Now you're trying
to lie I feel bad for now? You don't, man,

(01:13:22):
Stop that you don't even know this woman? You feel
bad for his wife? Should I tell her?

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):

The Frontier Airlines flight from if You Send to Dallas
was canceled last week. Even though the plane was in
good condition, the weather was perfect, and the passengers were
ready to board. The problem was that there was no pilot.
You see, the pilot had just been pulled off the
plane in handcuffs. Uh huh. Passengers waiting at the gate
watched out the window as cops led the pilot off

(01:15:19):
the plane in handcuffs.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
And put him in the back of a police car.

Speaker 11 (01:15:23):
The Houston Police Department later identified the pilots as forty
five year old Seymour Walker and said he was arrested
on a warrant related to an alleged assault on a
family member. What this, no replacement pilot was available, the
flight was canceled passengers were offered either a full refund
credit or reaccommodation on the next available Frontier flight later

(01:15:46):
that even evening. Can you guys imagine sitting on a
plane and your pilot gets arrested?

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
What is that about? Walker? The walkers sounded like nothing more.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
I'd be kind of grateful, though. That's pretty good. Yeah,
that might have been a bad day for him anyway,
he's been up there thinking about ending there. Now, let's
get his ass off the plane. Give me that credit,
y'all talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Or he get up in there and then he decided
to fly somewhere else because to avoid detection now too much?

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):

Tell me you were right.

Harvey right after this.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
You're listening.

Speaker 9 (01:20:09):
Morning show?

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
All right, Steve? Here, we are our last break of
the day on this Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
You know, and close it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
I want to I want to say something to people
about uh in being being encouraging.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
I hope that in my legacy when people talk about
me when I'm when I'm gone, I want people to
one of the things I want them to say was
he took the time to stop to enlighten other people.
He took the time to encourage young people. He took
the time out of his day, his schedule to invest money, effort,

(01:20:52):
and everything into just trying to empower other people.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:20:58):
I think that's an important thing for me. You know,
And as I sit here in my life and I
meet people from everywhere who who stopped me and say,
hey man, I saw a video of yours that really
encouraged me, Or hey man, I was watching a motivational
thing and you popped up and you said something that
really helped me. You know, we sit on these mics,

(01:21:19):
all of us. We come on this show every morning,
Shirley Carl or Tommy Junior, Monica and we and we
do stuff, and we really don't know the full effect
that it has. You know, how many people count on
us in the morning to be a part of their
morning drive or their morning routine or whatever the case,
or getting off work listening to us, or whether it's

(01:21:40):
the opening, whether it's the enjoyment of giving them a
laugh or they go into work or whatever it is.
And we just don't know. But we just kind of
hope that we become or are or are impactful to
peopful people. And that's that's one of my hopes. Man.
I want to say something everybody out there to day,

(01:22:00):
listen to me. God loves you, she really does. And
he created you with a purpose. God has a plan
for you. When he made you. None of you were accidents.
Whether you know your parents or not have a relationship
with one of them or don't have a relationship. The

(01:22:21):
fact that you were here was because God wanted you
here for whatever that purpose or reason, and that purpose
or reason is to prosper you. Now in prospering you.
It doesn't mean that your life won't have setbacks and challenges,
because it will. There's this thing called life that happens
to all of us. All of us experience grief, all

(01:22:44):
of us experience sorrow, pains, disappointments, set backs, cancelations, repossessions,
all of us man firings. All of us experienced this
thing called life. But if you have a relationship with God,

(01:23:04):
God enables you to endure the process of life. And
it's okay that you're experiencing life because everybody, listen, everybody's
handling it the same way, not handling it the same way,
but it's happening to everybody the same way. You ain't
the only person with some problems. You ain't the only
person facing challenges. You ain't the only person feeling disappointment.

(01:23:26):
You ain't the only person that ain't found the right
one for you. But if you form a relationship with God,
God helps you endure all these things and gives you
a measure of peace that you can have within yourself
to help you endure. I can't tell you how many
times God's presence in my life has provided me a peace.

(01:23:49):
You know, I watched such some dude on the Internet.
I don't know who he was. Nice God, Oh, he
was just talking about how your failures become so public
now because of cyberspace, because of the Internet. Any of
your failures, I don't care what it is, it becomes
so public now. What you used to suffer within silence

(01:24:09):
is now done publicly. And it ain't even you that's
got to put it out there. It's just as soon
as somebody find out something wrong in your life, they
posted about show life, and they make you the focus
so they can get clicks and likes and views and
all this here, and it just makes life even more

(01:24:30):
increasingly difficult. I'll just tell you it is. It's harder
for younger people to grow up now, it's harder to
stay married now, it's harder to survive the influx of
life situations now because people take it upon themselves to
make your failures so public. I can't tell you how
many public failures I've had to endure, but in the

(01:24:52):
quietness of my life, how many times because of the
relationship I had with God, He'd have wrapped his around
me and raising me up out the mud. Now, whether
y'all see it or not, The fact that you are
still here is evidence enough that God is working in
your life. The fact that I'm still here, that no

(01:25:14):
matter what they say about you, no matter what they've
said about me, in spite of it all, you'll still here.
That's God that worked behind closed doors. Now, if you
have the ability to rejoice in it and give God
the credit and glory, then wonderful. But I can't tell
you how many times He didn't tape me up, bandaged
me up, lifted me up and propped me up in

(01:25:37):
the quiet of my home while everybody was still laughing.
Do you know how many people laughing at you at
your job and your family and on the inter andet
about something that happened to you a long time ago,
and they keep rehashing it, bringing it up. Man, Stop
letting people do that to you. If God got you
through it, move on. Quit letting people bury you with

(01:26:00):
your past. If you have someone in your life that
is constantly reminding you of who you were and what
you did, man, get rid of them people. God is
in the blessing business. But more importantly for all of us,
God is in the forgiving business. God forgives people. Man,
He's forgiving me a thousand times, I probably need a

(01:26:21):
thousand more. Pick yourself up and gone about your business, man,
and stop worrying about what other people have to say
about you, because they are not the architect of your
future and they are not the author of your life.
Give that power, credit and glory to God and forget
them people, man, Let them hate us, hate and cap on.

(01:26:43):
Just have a relationship with God. Man, y'all have a
great day to day. Okay, those are my closees remarks,
God willing. We'll see y'all tomorrow morning. In the meantime, hey,
vote for Kamala has if you care about the country. Okay.
