Speaker 7 (02:04):
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show, yo.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
God is in the blessing business all day every day.
God got hundreds of millions of blessings that he passes
out every day. All I want to do is be
the recipient that I'm the recipient of what He has
for me. That's all I want. I just want God's favor,

(02:37):
and I go. I want God's blessings. You know, of
course I need his mercy and his grace, but I
just want his blessings and his favor.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
I want.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
I want that in my life because it does things
for me that I'm absolutely incapable of doing for myself.
And I've been a recipient of many of those. And
you can be the recipient of them too. You already are, really, really,
you already are. If you're getting up every morning, that's
a blessing. If you're getting one day closer to anything

(03:13):
you're trying to accomplish, that's a blessing. But now let
me talk to you about this part right here, folks,
because this is the part that message people up a
great deal.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
What happens when you get off track? What is that?
What does that mean? When you get off track?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
See?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
I've been off track.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
I can't tell you how many times, and it happens
in so many aspects of your life. But for what
is it that makes getting off track so debilitating to
some people? You know, there are some people who want
theay off track. They of course, they off the dream.
They on to something else. And you cannot allow the

(03:55):
fact that you've gotten off track to stop you.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Can.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
I tell you something. Everybody gets off track. There are
people who are living their life's dreams in spite of
getting off track. See what happens when you get off track?
Here's the simple thing to do. The simple thing is
just to get back on track. Now that's that's but

(04:22):
that's easier said than done. Ain't it, Steve.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (04:25):
Because see, people, when you get off track, here's some
of the things that happen. See you get the here
comes the nay says, some of them from the outside,
some of them internally. Here's what gets said when you
get off track. See, I told you, I told you.
You know, you start hearing that it's not for you. Okay,

(04:53):
this is all just because you got off track. It's
not for you. Okay, here's another one. It ain't meant
to be. You can hear it all. You could say it. Well,
I guess it's just not meant to be. But let
me ask you a question, though, who made the rule

(05:13):
that when you get off track you can't get back on?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Who made that rule?

Speaker 7 (05:20):
Where has that written that once you get off track
you can't get back on? See, because I'm gonna tell
you something, folks, there's no such rule. As a matter
of fact, it's quite the opposite. See, everybody in pursuit
of a dream, a goal, an aspiration, or mission is

(05:42):
going to get off track. Sometimes you're going to get derailed.
There are going to be days where you're not going
to get it right. There are going to be days
where you feel like giving up there's going to be
days when you're just gonna flat out get it wrong.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
That's the journey.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
But let me tell you some Every successful person that
I know, ever met, talked to, set out, and chopped
it up with, have shared one thing in common. We
all get off track. We all get it wrong along
the way. I don't care who the person is. The
president got it wrong along the way. Your pastor got

(06:20):
it wrong along the way. Quiet director guy got it
wrong along the way. The principle at your school got
it wrong along the way. The valve victorian of your
class got it wrong along the way. The star of
the team got it wrong along the way. They've all

(06:41):
been off track. Your boss down at your job, he
got it wrong along the way. Your immediate supervisor got
it wrong along the way. Everybody I know that has
any measure of success in every level that you call success,
however you want to label it, has gotten off track.

(07:02):
As a matter of fact, it's impossible. Listen to me,
it is impossible not to get off track in pursuit
of your dreams, goals, visions, aspirations. It is impossible. Don't
you let nobody tell you that they got through life unscathed.

(07:25):
That they made it because they were just so determined,
and I would let nothing turn me back. Yeah, you
might not have let nothing turn you back because you
hear Oh, but you thought about it. Oh, you thought
about it on days when you was off track. But see,
people don't like to tell the whole story. They just
want you to think as much as you can about them.

(07:46):
So when they tell you their story, they leave out
the stuff along the way. It was just hard work
and determination that got me here. No it wasn't, No,
it wasn't. It was the fact that you got off
track and the grace and of God allowed you to
get back on. His forgiveness allowed you to get back
on because you would not believe what some of the

(08:07):
people have done. So when you get off track, don't
allow the naysayers outside and the big naysayer inside, because
let me tell you something, the biggest naysayer of them
all comes from inside. See, it don't matter what other
people say out there. It takes some time for you
to learn this. And I understand because it took me

(08:27):
some time to learn it. See, I have a lot
of naysayers out there, but I ain't operating for them,
operating function for the ones that love me, for the
ones that get me, for the ones that.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Understand what I'm really trying to do.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
And so don't you be the one that doesn't allow
yourself to get back on track when you get off track, because,
like I said, who made the rule up that you
can't get back on track?

Speaker 6 (08:56):
There's no such rule out there.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
Stop stopping yourself from getting it right. So what you
started to die at the beginning of the year, and
you already off start another one, start over, try it again,
don't ever stop trying.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
If you stop trying, you can't make it.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
But if you never give up the effort, if you
never give up and say it's over, it ain't over.
You heard the saying it ain't over, to the fat
lady saying I never invite her.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
She's not invited. It ain't over.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
To the fat lady saying I don't know where the
fat lady stay. I have not send her an invitation
to none of my events. She's not welcome here. She
didn't ask me a couple of times. How come I
never get invited? Because you're gonna start saying it and
I ain't got time for that, all right, stop inviting

(09:53):
the fat lady to all your events.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Ladies and gentlemen, you know what. He's done it again.
I'm just in I live in a constant state of
amazement and awe and how really good God is. I
just don't understand how I could wake up and overlook
this gift. You know, how could I wake up and

(10:24):
not understand how truly amazing this is. And as I
look out my window and the sun is beginning to
come up, I'm just like Wow. He does that all
the time, whether it's cloudy or reigning. He creates that
new day every single time. He's never missed. That's crazy.
That's how we do it, y'all. We start our day
with gratitude. It will affect your attitude, which has a

(10:47):
direct correlation to your altitude.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Man, God is good. Ain't everybody say? Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Chrim, Steve Harvey, Martshow, Shelty Strawberry, Colin Frail, Mississippi, Monica Jr.
And the legend that is a few Timmy Junior, what's
on your mind?

Speaker 8 (11:02):
Man?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Man?

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Let's talk about this up man, because it's I know
it's it's Steve Harvey. I know you, Steve Harper, I
know how to famous, your all and everything, But do
you do you ever have to deal with the pressure
being Steve Harvey? Have you have you failed at being
with the pressure?

Speaker 7 (11:17):
I mean, i'dne made countless mistakes. You know it ain't
It ain't no manual with this. I've gotten it wrong
so many times because there's no course on it. Okay,

(11:38):
you famous, Now watch this, watch that. Watch this, because
when you first start acquiring fame, you keep acting like
you've always acted, and you can't. You must make adjustments
along the way. But that's for anybody. As you get older,
you have to make adjustments the same way. If you're forty,

(11:59):
you can't do like you did when you was twenty.
You just can't. And growth requires change, and everybody that
wants to grow you have to change.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
You cannot. You know.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
Look, trees and grass start out the same way. But
if you notice, trees don't hang around with the grass.
They started out the same way. But that's what holds
a lot of us up. We get hell to how
we started. We got people around us. Every time you
try to improve and do better, and don't forget where

(12:34):
you come from. Okay, cool, I want to forget, but
they're also there are people who said, don't forget where
you come from to try to hold you to that,
and that's not good for your growth. Just because you
started on the ground with everybody else, don't mean you
have to stay there.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Now, you can stay grounded.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
The thing about a tree and a grass, even though
they started in the same place, the roots are still
in the soil. But the tree going on about his business. Now,
if the tree tried to be accepted by the grass
all the time, he would stay grass. You understand, he
would stay down there. But tree said, no, I got
to grow. In order to grow, I got to change.

(13:15):
And so you got to change, y'all. You gotta be
the change is necessary, and don't be bothered by that,
and don't hang around people who try to make you
feel bothered at Oh now you think you all that. No,
I don't think I'm all this. I'm a little bit
different because I had to be. But it's really more
or less what how you think I am?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now?

Robin in Milwaukee, Robin writes, I'm practically I've practically begged
my husband for sex the last five times we've had it.
He said it's him and not me. If his sex
drive has decreased, I get it. But I've heard him

(25:43):
in the shower and everything seems fine with him. So
why doesn't he want sex?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
You're doing it in the shower.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
She answered her own questions.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
What's wrong, Steve, There's so many angles this could be coming.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
From, you know, like.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
He's telling you it's him, it's not you, right.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
But you think he and the shower are doing something alone.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, she says she's heard him there and everything. Think's fine.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
Well, then it's something he's doing alone. It's better than
when y'all together. Wow ah, or or another option. Yeah,
he's found a better way to accomplish something.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
And it's just but he's telling you it's not you.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
It could be him because don't know how long you've
been married, you know, you could lose attraction for a person.
Here's what I heard the guy say one time, and
this is going to be horrible, lady, So I just
want to tell you say a guy said one time,
he said, hey, man, you love your wife, right. The
other guy said yeah. He said, so what's your favorite meat?

(27:10):
And the guy said steak. He said, cool, you love steak?
He said, yes, I do. He said you don't want
no more fish and chicken.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I know.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
He did not use meat.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
To describe, and I had to sit back and go.

Speaker 12 (27:35):
That's a good horrible I told y'all for I said it, y'all,
don't hate you practiced it?

Speaker 7 (27:44):
Yeah, I just said it was good. But y'all, he said,
you don't want no more fish or ship?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
God, what a dilemma. So that's what you're saying, that's
happening here? Could possibly no?

Speaker 6 (28:04):
I was just using as I thought.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
It was very cute, Oh.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Calling to make it cute because she got off the zoom.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
You thought that was cute?

Speaker 6 (28:15):
Yeah, I thought it was very funny doing it.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
You gotter be killed for though. He gonna follow in
that shower.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
He could hold on right, all right, you're done with
that one. Clo. We're moving on. Okay, last one, last one.
That's it.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
This is from Kenneth in Grand Prairie. Kenneth writes, my
girlfriend invited me to a wedding in Hawaii, and I
don't want to spend the money on the two airline tickets.
That's the only reason she invited me. Can I be
honest with her? Can I be honest and tell her
I don't want to spend the money or should I
lie to her?

Speaker 9 (28:59):
Well?

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Just say you don't want to spend the money, man,
tell the truth and that well, because this is easy
because it's going to open up the conversation you need
to have. He feels as though the only reason she
invited him to this wedding in Hawaii is so he
could pay for these tickets. Now, all he got to
do is say, Hey, I ain't really that cool with

(29:21):
them people, and I don't want to go in the
hole trying to go over here and see these two
people get married.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
I I don't really know them like that. They ain't
even invite me.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
They invited you and gave you the plus one, but
I don't want to go over there and spend that
kind of money.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I don't really know these people. And then she'll go,
so you don't want to go with me?

Speaker 7 (29:40):
Now, I don't want to go with you all the
way to Hawaii to go to they wed which I
think that's why you want me to go, so I
can pay for these tickets.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Oh Lord, her message, that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's the truth.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Surelie, I didn't say, don't ever tell me?

Speaker 5 (29:55):
Why did.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
When the truth bus sit you?

Speaker 7 (30:03):
Oh you don't need a never waste a good lot?

Speaker 6 (30:08):
I mean, why would he say I gotta work that
week and then a lot?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Where's the logic in that huh, save you lot, Yes,
when you really truly need him. All right, thank you, Clo.
I guess coming up at the top of the hour,
we'll have some entertainment news for you. Right after this.
You're listening to Harvey Morning Show. So, like Bruce Springsteen,

(30:39):
Bono and so many other artists, Legendary singer Michael McDonald
is also not a fan of President Trump and his administration.
According to Classic Rock magazine, McDonald said, quote, I think
it's important that all of us stand up and say
our peace here in the US. These are perilous time.

(31:00):
I'm afraid we are staring down a dark channel that
could lead to totalitarianism. Michael McDonald went on to say,
in part, we've got a guy who doesn't want to
be president of the United States as much as he
wants to be one of the points of light, the
whole axis of everything he wants the world. So that's

(31:21):
according to Michael McDonald, Yeah, he's saying, yeah, you heard him, Yeah,
dic leadership much.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
You know that's president is an interesting human being man,
because I've never seen anybody in an authoritative position like
this take so many positions on stuff that's so minute.
I've never met a person who was supposed to be
relevantly important have so much time for smaller issues, Like

(31:54):
he got time to comment on a singer that don't
like him, Bruce Springsteen. I mean he has time for that.
Most presidents just know there's going to be a certain
amount of hate come with the job. Just going about
your business. He don't let nothing go once it crosses
his death. That's crazy, man, that you even have the

(32:15):
time yea, to even acknowledge something like this.

Speaker 6 (32:21):
Man, that's what's.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
But you just go what what?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Man?

Speaker 10 (32:29):
And if it's about don't you got something to do
to that?

Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (32:34):
Yeah, petty Yeah, I mean, I mean little bitty stuff.
He comments on every single thing. He has time for
the and if especially if it's about him, because he's
a narcissist, so if you say anything about him, he's
compelled to say something back. That's a dangerous person to
have in charge. Besides the amount of non truths he tells.

(33:01):
I mean, it's just out and out blatant lies that
you say. Man, the thing he did about Biden the
other day, talking about you know, he said, wow, you
know the guy's been sick. I don't know how we
didn't know about this. I mean, stage nine cancer takes
a really long time. Yeah yeah, yeah he said that,

(33:25):
but it was on the John Daily Show. Dal Hughgley
posted it. I mean he said it. He said, I
think he could have let us know. I mean, how
to get like that? I mean, stage nine cancer takes
a really long time. And he's not a great guy.
He's a bad but I don't feel sorry for him.
I mean he's saying it's about Joe Biden man, a
man who's really stricken right now.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
That's how you know that. That was the administration's text
that first went out. Our heart goes out to Joe
and Jill and we're praying for to say because no,
that went out from White House.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
He posted, Oh man, what he posted? That's the real dude.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, total opposite of that. And speaking of Trump, the
President weighed in on whether or not he's willing to
give Ditty a get out of free, get out of
jail free card on Friday, Trump, who has used his
presidential powers to partn Diddy if convicted, Trump said, I
haven't seen him, I haven't spoken to him in years.
He really used to like me a lot. There goes

(34:32):
the narcissism you were talking about, Steve. But I think
when I ran for politics sort of that relationship busted up.
The President went on to say he hasn't been watching
the trial too closely, but believes that some people have
been very close to asking him for a pardon. Whether
or not he'll cut did he a break he is
yet to decide, explaining I would certainly look at the facts.

(34:54):
If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me
or don't like me, it wouldn't have the impact on me. Huh,
that's me.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
That's not true.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Yeah, and you know, but like once again, why does
he even have time for the Diddy trial?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Right?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Sort of that or to.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
Politics, you could tolerate him and deal with him because
he wasn't in charge of you in any capacity.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Was the reality TV star and people.

Speaker 6 (35:32):
Cool, cool show, all of that, Tower was cool, all
that's cool.

Speaker 7 (35:37):
When he started running for politics, that's when it kind
of changed.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Man, I said, I don't know, I don't know you
think that.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, there, well, not a break off, but just a
regular party. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
That was a difference.

Speaker 10 (35:57):
Yeah, there's after your priority yeah, same minu maybe.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Maybe, yeah, it goes down after Yeah, all right. Finally,
in trending political news, according to USA Today and the
Atlanta Journal Constitution, one of Georgia's top Democrats and former
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, announced her candidacy for Georgia governor. Bottoms,

(36:28):
who most recently served as an advisor to former President
Joe Biden, said she is running to fight for Georgians
amid what she described as quote chaos and uncertainty coming
out of Washington d C. Candidates in the Georgia governor's
race in twenty twenty six will be buying for an
open seat with Governor Brian Kemp term limited after his

(36:49):
two consecutive terms. So there you go. Yeah, yeah, ky, yeah,
governor of Bottoms.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
She has a real chance. Term is up.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
If Kemp's turn wasn't up, it'd be rough.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
She has a real chant.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah. She's really really.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
Great person man, super smart person.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Colleges are teaching adulting classes to help young people learn
life skills. We'll talk about it right after this. You're
listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
Do you think astronauts fight over elbow room? Probably?

Speaker 7 (37:31):
Because advanced tech doesn't always mean more space. Until now
introduce it the Hondai Ionic nine, a three row electric
suv with over three hundred miles of range, ultra.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Fast charging capability, and lots of space.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
The all new Hondai Ionic nine face and an ev
Visit Hondai usa dot com for more details. EPA estimated
rings for nine based on fully charged batteries for comparison
purpose only. Actual rings will vary based on several factors.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
You know, we send are kids to college with a
high school education, but it turns out a lot of
them don't know things like doing laundry. They don't know
how to grocery shop or pay their bills. And that's
why classes on how to adult are popping up at
college campuses across the country. Colleges like Michigan State University
are stepping up to teach it. They offer Adulting one

(38:22):
oh one class to help them learn to navigate the
complexities of everyday life as an independent adult. It focuses
on practical life skills as well as financial literacy, credit banking,
and budgeting. So here's a question, guys, how would you
rate your young adults basic life skills like can your

(38:42):
kids do these things like you know, credit balance their
checkbooks that they have that still practical life skills? What
do you think? What do you say?

Speaker 9 (38:53):
So you said these classes at Michigan State University State University,
because he's going.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
He's going, do they teach bathing in there?

Speaker 9 (39:03):
That's that's why he goes practical life skill just bathing
if that's the first step he needs to be in
there for that.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Forget financial literacy.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
He ain't got no money away, so just bathing is.
But he needs teaching. Get this funk off of you.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
That's what we do.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
That that's important. But what else do y'all think? Like
young adults? Y'all have older like I look at boys.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
They can't They can't change a flat.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
It's the clueless about stuff like that, life survival.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
They can't cut a yard.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Wow, just stuff.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
It's just simple stuff. They can't change all in the
car if you need. They don't know what to do, especially.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
Giving them a lifestyle where they don't have to do that.
My kids never had to cut the grass. My kids
didn't have changed They tie the oil.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
You know, that's kind of our fault, the parents fault.
But yeah, because you wanted to get them. That's your
great life once you Yeah, if you were doing well,
so you wanted to repass.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Over giving us some skills set at the same.

Speaker 7 (40:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which but which was the whole intent
was so your children don't have to have the life
you had. Backfires, It did. And I was talking to
a guy. He says, Steve, you ain't the only person
going through this. All of us are, he said. Don't
feel bad, he said. Society as a whole has created

(40:31):
this generation, he said, and Google began it because now
Google cut down having to research, having to think, and
all of a sudden, everything is at your fingertail. And
we have created a society, the whole generation of young
people who can't think for themselves.

Speaker 6 (40:51):
Now they got AI. You just press a button.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
So now and we had what we had encyclopedia, this l.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
And a library call and a library car. You got
that right, No sales phone. All right, guys, coming up
at thirty four minutes after the hour, we're gonna check
your voicemail Steve eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. Right
after this, you're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show, and it's

(41:27):
time now Steve to check your voicemail at eight seven
seven twenty nine. Steve, you can call and leave a
message and you just might hear your call on the air.
You're ready, Steve, here we go.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
This caller would like some advice on just international travel
as you.

Speaker 11 (41:45):
Do this morning, Steve in the morning three. This is
David out of Louisiana. My question is have I take
a birthday trip every year and I try to visit
a different country every year. Africa has been on my
mind a lot less. So my question is what is
some of the best parts of Africas that is it
for first time or or for anyone for that matter.
Thank you love what you guys do. God bless you.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
If I went to Africa for the first time, I
go to Ghana.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
No, the country of Ghana.

Speaker 7 (42:13):
Yeah, Ghana, That's why I would go first. Gna is
very receptive. It still has plenty for you to see
that's untouched. Every African American should go to the slave
Castle so you can see what they did and how

(42:34):
they did it and how and their thought process and
you can see it today. You can see that thought
process today and you can see how they've conducted business
with us for over four hundred years and it's amazing, man.
And then you got to go to Gane just to
see the food, the culture, the people are beautiful. That's

(42:57):
a great place to start. But Africa has so much
to see. You can't go without going on the safaris.
So you can just understand really what wildlife really is,
Joe Berg. You gotta see it because it's really metropolis there,
the very fast paced uh, the cars, everything you see.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
But an hour and a half away and you can.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Get eight wait what.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yeah, I mean that's that's the shock of it.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
What you go, Joe Bird. But an hour and a
half flight later you can get eight file.

Speaker 7 (43:38):
And that's what you need to understand about Africa when
you go on these safaris.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Remember this.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
Now, everything you see out there in order to eat,
they gotta kill something.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Okay, yeah, just is dope, man.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
I mean that's a dope thing to see. They're not
because nobody's feeding.

Speaker 7 (43:55):
Nobody's second little bowl and milk out anybody barely, no.

Speaker 6 (43:59):
Hate, none.

Speaker 7 (44:03):
This is this is different And you go, wait a minute, man,
this is intense because you look at animals that killed
to eat, they.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Look at you different.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
They look like food.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
And if you stay on that range rover and they
stay motionless.

Speaker 7 (44:19):
They accept that as an innate object that moves, and
that's why they tell you don't stand up, wave your hands,
don't make no sudden movements and bring out individuality. They
recognize that range rover as a non food source and
they're used to seeing it come through the range. If
you stand up and wave your arms, then they go, oh.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
And you can't. Now.

Speaker 7 (44:43):
The only ones, the only animals that know the difference
is elephants and monkeys. They know you're an individual, so
don't even go over that playing with them, because because
they know you an individual, they don't ain't buying the
truck business. It's so interesting to go man, but Africa
gods and you gotta go on surpar.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
It's crazy over all, right, Okay, it's crazy. Good to know.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Thank you, nephew. Subject, am I dating Cinderella? Dear Stephen Shirley.
When I met my new friend, it was like a
fairytale romance. I'm twenty eight and he's thirty five and
perfect for me because I prayed for an older man
but not too old. He has a photography studio and
I booked him for a Christmas photo shoot for me
and my daughter. After the photo shoot, he asked me

(57:12):
to have dinner with him, so my daughter and I
went to dinner with him. After that, he planned dinner
dates with us every night that week. I couldn't wait
for my daughter to go to her dad's later that
week so I could spend quality time with my new friend.
He had kept telling me how good he was in bed,
and I couldn't wait to see It. Was supposed to
go down at his house, but it was raining really badly,

(57:35):
so he came over to my house. We didn't waste
time talking. We went straight to bed. He had exaggerated
a little bit on his skill level, but it was
still good for an older man. Since the weather was bad,
I thought he would spend the night.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
He didn't.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
He got up around eleven thirty and got dressed quickly,
like he was late for work or something. I told
him to call me when he got home, but I didn't,
and hear from him until the next day, he said
he missed me, and he asked if he could see me.
I said we could meet for dinner. He said he
wanted to pick up food and eat at my house instead.
We ate, then we had sex, and then he told

(58:13):
me that he needed to be home by midnight. I
told him that it was not cute to have sex
and run out. He apologized, but said he really had
to go. He has done this four times, and I
wonder what's so significant about midnight? He told me to
chill and learn to live in the moment. What's up
with this man? Am I dating Cinderella? No, not Cinderella

(58:36):
or Cindefella, none of those. He's just married, that's all.

Speaker 10 (58:41):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
You're his side piece and he has to do You
then make sure he's home before his wife gets in.
That's his curfew. That's all. He's pretty much told you
that when he said he had to get home by midnight.
Except why didn't you ask him why? Right then?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
And there?

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Are you afraid to ask him these important questions? You
need to know this. You can't be scared. That's something
you definitely need to know because you are clearly not
reading between the lines here. Has that not crossed your mind,
not even once, that he could be married. That's why
he's racing home and doing all this stuff, eating at
your house. I mean, the clues are there. You want

(59:19):
to go out, he wants food, to bring it to
the house so he won't get caught being out with
you or something. Please ask him these questions so you
can get the answers you need and move on with
your life.

Speaker 7 (59:31):
Steve, Well, have you ever read a letter in wid
because I mean, Shirley answered the letter really adequately.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (59:41):
I mean, it's just it's glaringly obvious to everybody that
has heard this letter what this situation is.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
But I don't know.

Speaker 6 (59:52):
Some people you have to slow welcome through.

Speaker 7 (59:53):
Information because a lot of times you want, you want
to leave for your heart's sake, And I get it,
I get it. You want to believe for your heart's sake,
so you shut your brain off from doing what it's
supposed to do.

Speaker 6 (01:00:13):
And that's like think.

Speaker 7 (01:00:16):
A person's brain is designed to think, to absorb information
to learn. Obviously, you don't want to absorb no information
because you don't want to learn the facts here. So
there's nothing we can do to help you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
But here we go.

Speaker 7 (01:00:33):
I met my new friend. It was like a fairy
tale romance. See that's all she wanted. She wants a
fairy tale romance. See just listen to this letter, y'all.
I met my new friend. It was like a fairy
tale romance. Okay, she's been wanting that since a little girl.
He's twenty eight and thirty five and perfect for me
because I prayed for a older man. Okay, so now

(01:00:55):
as soon as.

Speaker 6 (01:00:55):
You meet an older man, you immediately.

Speaker 7 (01:00:58):
Begin your fair tell romance. Now, if you twenty eight
and he thirty five, I don't want to break this
two news to you, But that ain't really no older man.
That's just another dude. Because women and men mature differently.
Women is a known fact.

Speaker 6 (01:01:16):
This is not me talking.

Speaker 7 (01:01:18):
Women mature more quickly and rapidly than men because they
have to, because somewhere in their teenage years, they start
experiencing these little girl moments that has to grow them
up a little bit quicker. They have to start working
around a certain time and all this hit and they
had to prepare themselves.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
So they mature quicker than boys, and.

Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
They have to think about what they're doing and what happens,
and you know, reproduction and the boys we just done
for a long term. So he's got a photography studio.
In that studio, you book for a Christmas photo shoot,
you and your daughter. After the photo shoot, they asked
you and your daughter to dinner. They went, and after
that he's playing dinner day for us every night that week.
Ain't that nice? This is a fairy tale rooman He

(01:01:58):
loves you and the baby. So I couldn't I couldn't
wait for my daughter to go to her dad's later
that week so I could spend some quality time with
my new friends.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
And he had been telling me how good he was
in bed. I could not wait to see.

Speaker 7 (01:02:13):
It was supposed to go down at his house, but
it was raining really bad, so he came over to
my house.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
All right, now, hold up.

Speaker 7 (01:02:20):
Right there, unless he stays in a refrigerator box, I.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
Don't really know what that rain got to do with it.

Speaker 7 (01:02:32):
Now, if you if you stay under the bridge, you
know in your rool is a refrigerator box or tarp,
then I understand you know.

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
You ain't you know? Okay, but I don't know how.
But it raining really bad, So he came we didn't
waste no time talking. We went straight to bed.

Speaker 7 (01:02:50):
He had exaggerated a little bit on his skill level,
but it was still good for an older man.

Speaker 6 (01:02:55):
I ain't gonna tell you no more thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
That ain't no older man don't give bedroom skills at
thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Hang on, Steve, coming up for twenty five.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):

We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
Do you think astronauts fight over elbow room?

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
Probably because advanced tech doesn't always mean more space. Until now,
introduce it the Hondai Ionic nine, a three row electric
suv with over three hundred miles of range, ultra fast
charging capability, and lots of space.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Come on, Steve Let's recap Today's strawberry letter. The subject is,
am I dating Cinderella?

Speaker 7 (01:04:03):
Well, this lady that mechtus what she claims as a romance,
a fairy tale romance. So what she didne did was
she didne got with this guy that she met. That
he's older than her. He's thirty five, she twenty eight.
He said, that's what she had been praying for an
older man. He not really older. Thirty five and twenty eight,

(01:04:25):
that's seven years. That's just another dude.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
You done matter.

Speaker 7 (01:04:30):
Now, y'all had got together, y'all went over. You went
to a photography studio with your daughter doing a Christmas
photo shoot. He took your picture, then he asked y'all
to dinner. You and your daughter, y'all went out to dinner,
had a nice time. Then he's just playing a dinner
date for y'all every night that week. Okay, cool, let's work.
Then you couldn't wait for her, your daughter, to go
to a daddy house this weekend, because so you could
spend some quality time with your new friend.

Speaker 6 (01:04:50):
And he had been bragging about how good he was
in bed.

Speaker 7 (01:04:53):
Now, I don't know at what part of the dinner
with you and the daughter where he was letting you
know what how good he was. But I showed her,
like have been at the table when he was sliding
that past. Oh baby, you like to wear your steak done? Yeah,
I really know how to do steak him. He ain't

(01:05:16):
want some baked cookies or when it comes to bacon,
that's what I do. I likes to bake that cookie.
So I'm just assuming these is the conversation he had
to have at dinner with you and the daughter to
let you know how good he was in bed.

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
You couldn't wait. Well you got there, now, y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:05:36):
Was supposed to go down at your house, but it
rained real bad, so he had to stay at home.

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
He had we well it had to. He was coming
to he was.

Speaker 7 (01:05:46):
He was supposed to be at his house, but it
rained real bad, so he came over to your house. Now,
like I said, unless he stay under the bridge in
a refrigerator box, I.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Don't know what the hell they got to do with it.
But you didn't see that. It's okay.

Speaker 6 (01:05:59):
So then you said he exaggerated a little.

Speaker 7 (01:06:03):
Bit how good he was in bed, but it was
still good. And uh and and she said, and he
was uh, he said, but it was still good for
an older man. Let me explain some of you post
to still be good at thirty five. Matter of fact,
you're starting to come into your own. You don't really

(01:06:24):
get this sex thing down as a man. To you
an e forty, you got to help you, you know,
disappointed a couple of people before, you know, you had
to have found out that you ain't what all you
thought you was a couple of times. You know, to
get your game up, you got to be in your forty.
He was pretty good for an old man at thirty five. Lady,
If that's what you're thinking, oh, you're in trouble now.

(01:06:45):
If he was seventy and you was telling me this,
I'd be clapping for the dude. But he thirty five,
he posted to still be good. You don't get you
don't get it. You get no credit for being thirty
five and can still go.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
That's no good.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:06:59):
He got up and he got about eleven thirty, and
he got dressed quickly, like he was late for work
or something. I told him to call me when he
got home, but I ain't hear from him till the
next day. He said he missed me and asked him
he could see me again. I said we could meet
for dinner. He said he wanted to pick up the
food and eat at my house instead. We ate, then
we had sex. Then he told me he needed to
be home by midnight. I told him that's not cute

(01:07:21):
to have sex and run out. He apologized and said,
I really got to go. I'll give it boy, what
you think is cute. I got skipped mia to the house.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
He was done.

Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
He has done this four times, and I wonder what
is so significant about midnight? He told me to chill
and learn to live in the moment. What's up with
this man and my dating a Cinderella? Well, you're not
dating a Cinderella. You're not dating a cinder fella. You're

(01:07:54):
dating somebody else's fella.

Speaker 6 (01:07:57):
That's all it is.

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
He You ain't dating Cinderella, You're dating somebody else's fella.
He got to be at that house by twelve because
she know what time the studio closed, and he booked
his last appointment, and she know how far that appointment
is from the house. Why are you sitting up here
talking about what's up with this man? Am I dating

(01:08:23):
a Cinderella?

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
He's Judy.

Speaker 6 (01:08:28):
You you you maybe you don't need no older man.

Speaker 7 (01:08:32):
Matter of fact, you twenty eight, you need to start
dating a twenty one year old. You need That's what
you need to do. Once you got up in the thirties.
I don't know what man in his thirties and don't
don't come with with nothing. What what man don't have
a history by the time he thirty. You need to
find out if he got children, if he got a wife,

(01:08:53):
he got a family, he got a living in lover.

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
You need to find out where his kids stay.

Speaker 7 (01:08:59):
You ain't ask no question because you were so content
on saying you met your fairy tale romance and he
was what you prayed for.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
He was older.

Speaker 7 (01:09:10):
Just because you pray for something don't mean it's God
descending it to you. See, you got to ask some questions.

Speaker 5 (01:09:18):
God.

Speaker 7 (01:09:18):
You can always meet the older man. Hell, that ain't hard.
Why that's hard? You can meet the older man, that's easy.
But you want an older man that's available for you? Right,
You didn't get none of that information, sister, you not.
You haven't asked one relevant question because you were too

(01:09:40):
busy and join your fairy tale romance and this older
man that you had prayed for, that God said to you.
Only thing was God didn't send him to you. You
just coincidentally met an older man. Several women have met
that same man.

coming up. At the top of the hour. A man
on social media needs some advice, Stevie says. My back
friend's mom just asked me out. We'll talk about that
right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

(01:14:12):
All right, So this is from Vic on Steve Harvey FM.
Vic writes, last weekend, I was at my homeboy's mama's
house for a barbecue and went into the house. As
I was walking out, my friend's mama started talking to
me in the hallway and she was flirting. I'd be
lying if I said I wasn't into it. But I'm curious.

(01:14:33):
What what are the downsides of taking my friend's mama
up on her offer of getting together and seeing what's
what happens? Yeah, he wants to date his friend's mom
and he wants to know you getting.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Called by your friend is the downs If your boy
find out you over there doing something with his mama,
that's the downside, I see.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
But she flirted with him.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Don't get the cookout dog, That's what this is. Mama
is gonna have to cook it all right now. She's
flirting with you, and you think that's a connection right there.
You think the connection is a margarita. That's what it is.
Your mama thinking at the cookoff. Okay, now, if you're
gonna listen, really it should have happened then right then.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
But you can always say if she's fine, you make
those exceptions from you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
His mama probably the boy mama probably is fine because
he's over there thinking about it. He's already, so if
you're thinking about it, she's fine. Now where's y'all fining?
Y'all got to get out this house, in this cookout
and get somewhere else to make this happen. But you
can't jump it off right there at the boy house.
Not not not not not that as not at his
house with his mama. Dog. Don't don't. I got mama fined.

(01:15:44):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
How we do that one? To tell your friend.

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):

Wow. So hopefully vic uh Tommy Junior helped you out
on that one. Not at all? All right, So we
do have time for another one, guys. This is from
Regina on Steve Harvey FM. Regina writes, my boyfriend and
I work out together all the time, but lately I

(01:17:18):
can tell something's off, he's win things slowing down, clearly
in pain, but every time I ask him, he insists
he's fine. I'm pretty sure he's nursing a back injury,
but he's too proud to admit it. I don't think
less of him for being hurt. It happened. How do
I get him to open up and stop pretending he's invincible?

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
I think he nurses some fact, that's a lot of stuff.
You don't see what you want to do? He nursing something,
all right, He didn't got bigger. That's what you need
to understand. He's fat back there, Yeah, whie back. When
you see a back, you know what's coming. Oh you
see creases and grooves from the back. Yeah, you know
what you did? It's back hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
But so yeah, but that's her question. How does she
get him to open up and stop pretending like he's
all right?

Speaker 10 (01:18:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
He can't say that, guys, she needs some add some
how to approach him with this.

Speaker 5 (01:18:18):
Yeah, if you unbutton his jacket, he could breathe. She
got the prop open up that jacket. Tom fat what
we can do?

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
But it's okay, I mean, that's why he's in the gym.
So he's trying to get healthy. If he is, does
he sound like that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
He got one sweat vest on? You know that's how
you get once you get in all right, guys, uh,
that was.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
No help at all. Yes, all right, coming up, we'll
have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.

Speaker 6 (01:18:53):
Fat back.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. It's we
all know. It's summertime, right, and the kids are loving it.
They're out of school, most of them. They're having a
great time. But according to this new study, students typically
enjoy school up to about sixth grade. Okay, then yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:19:19):
they've done a study on this. Then somewhere between sixth
and seventh grades, kids start losing their passion for school.
All right, so does this sound right? You guys feeling this?

Speaker 14 (01:19:29):

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Here we are, guys, our last break of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
Steve, you have some words with some You.

Speaker 7 (01:25:57):
Know, I've been very fortunate in my life that God
has afforded me a lot of grace and a lot
of favor in my life.

Speaker 6 (01:26:07):
You know, I work hard.

Speaker 7 (01:26:10):
I do understand that I put forth a lot of
effort because I do adhere to the principle that if
you plan on being successful, it's going to require an
all out, massive effort. It's going to take everything you have.
I thank God that I have been willing to do
mostly everything that was requested of me in order to

(01:26:33):
become successful. I'll just put it that way. I'm pretty
sure there has more coming, but so far I've tried
to answer to bail and answer the call. But with
that being said, my life is still filled with a
great amount of mercy and grace that God has done
for me almost the unthinkable. And the reason I say

(01:26:56):
the unthinkable because oftentimes people say, hey, man, Stee, did
you see yourself being here? And it kills me when
people say, yeah, I always imagine myself here, Well, how
did you do that? How did you imagine something that
you didn't know was possible? Because what I've also learned

(01:27:16):
is if you can imagine it, it's possible. It is
impossible to think an impossible thought. That's impossible. You know
what I mean, It's impossible. How should I phrase this?
Let me see, you can't have a thought that's not

(01:27:37):
doable or thinkable or attainable. Some weighe some shape or fashion,
because everything we have in this world, somebody thought of it.
I'm not phrasing it exactly the way I want to, because,
as I do, most of my clothes remarks is off
the top of my head. But I do know one
thing that if it had not been for God's grace
and mercy, i am not who I am today. I

(01:28:00):
am clear about that. Somebody sent me something the other
day that really touched me.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
He sent this to me.

Speaker 7 (01:28:08):
He said, God has a tendency of picking up a
nobody to become a somebody in front of everybody without
asking anybody. That It put tears in my eyes, and
I sent it to a few people that I knew
would understand it. Once again, he said, God has a

(01:28:32):
tendency of picking up a nobody to become a somebody
in front of everybody without asking anybody. And I'm telling you, man,
if that ain't me, I just don't know what was
what is because I was just a nobody that God,

(01:28:55):
through his grace picked me up and turned me into somebody,
and he did it in front of everybody, and he
didn't ask anybody. And I'm sure glad he did. And
do you know something, man, we are all we are

(01:29:16):
all privy to that. But in order to be privy
to it, you gotta be willing to follow some instructions.
And the instructions you follow can't just be yours. Your
people say all the time, I do what I want
to do. I'm gonna live my life where I could
do how I want to do, when I want to.

Speaker 6 (01:29:34):
Do it how I want to do it.

Speaker 7 (01:29:35):
That ain't how I work, man. Sorry, sorry, That's not
the equation to real success. That's not the equation because
to whom much is given, much is required. That are
going to be requirements along the way. You don't get
it free. You just don't get it free.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:29:55):
I've often said, convenience is built through inconvenience. See, if
you want to have a convenient life, the only way
to have a convenient life, it is built through a
series of inconvenient things. And when I tell you a series,
I'm talking about a life full of them. Don't sit

(01:30:15):
up and think you just gonna have one or two,
three or four inconvenient moments to have an incredible life
of convenience, because that's not how it works. You are
going to have a series of inconveniences. You are going
to be required to lay in it way longer than
you want to. You're gonna have to wallow in it

(01:30:36):
way longer than you want to. You're gonna have to
deal with it way longer than you want to deal
with it. That's what it is, man, that's the requirement.
But in order to have a life of convenience, it
is built through inconvenience. And if you want your life
to be convenient, you got to deal with the inconveniences

(01:30:56):
that come along with getting convenient.

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
Period slid. This ain't no rule.

Speaker 7 (01:31:01):
Steve Harvey came up with this is life, man. You
hear people say it all the time. If it's successful, easy,
everybody would have it. That's the truth. So if you're
not willing to be inconvenienced, and you don't like being inconvenienced,
then you can get off wanting the convenience because it

(01:31:21):
requires the inconvenience to get the convenience. I'm sorry to
tell you that, but I'm also happy to tell you that,
so it could clear up any confusion that you might
be having. Oh why am I going through this old
woe is me? Because it ain't just old woe is you,
It's old woe is everybody that wants a life of convenience.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
You have got to deal with the inconvenience. And in closing,
I just want to say this.

Speaker 7 (01:31:46):
God has a tendency of picking up nobody to become
a somebody in front of everybody without asking anybody such
a church say amen.

Speaker 6 (01:31:57):
Those are my closing remarks. Hey, y'all talk to God.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
He love to hear from you.
