Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Y'all don't know y'all ball.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
At all, So.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
Don't give a.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Busy listening to show.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
I don't joy ye joy.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
You gotta.

Speaker 6 (01:01):
Turn you turn, got to turn the mouth the turn.

(01:43):
You probably got to turn mouth, turn the water the
water up.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Come come on, you're thinking, uh huh, I sure will
a good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice.
Come on now dig me if you will. One and
only Steve Harvey got a radio show. You know, one
of the things about being successful. And I was sharing

(02:19):
this just the other day with a young man and
he asked me. He said, hey, man, I just don't
see how you get up that early in the morning.
I just don't see how, man, it would kill me
to get up this early in the morning. Well, I
sat down and I'm listening to it because it's just
a thousand times I've heard it, you know, and my

(02:41):
life is, you know, not too different from a lot
of people's lives. There's a lot of people out there
that rise early, and I just sit there, man, because
I mean, first of all, I'm grateful to be able
to have a job. I'm so grateful to be able
to do one and several that I happened to enjoy doing.
I mean, you know it's work and it's difficult at times,

(03:01):
but I mean, you know I wanted this. You know
you got it. You know you can't ask God for
nothing any give it to you then be mad that
you got it. Don't make no sense.

Speaker 7 (03:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
The problem with asking God for stuff is a lot
of times we asking for stuff, we don't really know
what all it encompasses, what all it really is. And
I ask for this now along the way, I've gotten
far more than I asked for. I want you to do.
Understand that, and you know that's His grace at work
in my life. But I get up early and I

(03:30):
go to work because I do understand something that it
is not walking up to you. Nobody walks up to
people normally and just hand them checks all the time,
and enough checks to sustain your life, and not only
sustain it, but to have a life that where you
could enjoy and do some of the things you want
to do. I don't know the person that walks out

(03:51):
hands out that money just to be doing it. And
then with a lifestyle though where you can you know,
give your kids a Christmas, you know, take your family
on vacation, you know, a year once a year. I
don't know nobody passing out to kind of money. So
I get up early in the morning. I get at it.
I was taught to get up early in the morning
by my father because my father says, ain't nothing gonna

(04:14):
come to you while you lay in there. And you
know what, it's just true, man, it's just a little
common sense. Look, old people smart, man, they've been around
a long time. You don't get old. You know, some
old foods out there, but you know you don't have
to deal with them. But old people are pretty smart, man.
They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up
early and getting out it is one of them things.
And I ask everybody man to think about this scenario

(04:36):
of your life. If a day has twenty four hours
in it, and let's just say you choose to sleep
eight of those hours because they tell you you need
eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours. That's a
third of your life asleep already. Just a third of
your life is spent asleep. If you gonna do eight

(04:57):
hours a day. Now, let's say you have a job
that you work eight hours, and it is not the
job of your dreams. It's not your dream career, your
dream profession. It's just the one you took, like all
of us, to get it started. And then, like all
of us, some of us end up having this state
at because we've created these bills because we checked and check.
So we can't leave it because we'll lose what we

(05:19):
work for. So let's just say you got a job
that you go to work to for eight hours. That's
another third of your life. That's two thirds of your life.
Feel how you want to feel about your two thirds? Well,
I like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
But now you spent two thirds of your life, one
on a job you don't care for if you're not
happy that it, or one that just pays the bills,

(05:40):
and it's not your dream job or career. Another third
of your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on.
Let's talk about the one hour of preparation that it
may take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours.
Let's say your drive time. Let's say getting to your
job for the average person is anywhere between thirty to
an hour. An average of what it takes to average person. Now,

(06:02):
some people out there hustling a way harder than that.
But let's just say your average is an hour getting
to work. You add another hour to that going to work.
You've now spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four
doing something that's either nonproductive, you're not happy with, you're
not pleased about. It is not your dream job, it's

(06:23):
not your dream profession. And rest of the time you sleep.
Eighteen hours. Now you got to come from the job,
so let's just say it's another hour to get back home.
That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hours out of a twenty four
hour day. You now have five hours left in your day. Oh,
you watch TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me.
Let's put now you put two hours of TV on
that you've just spent twenty one. You now have three

(06:45):
hours in the day to do something super productive for
the development of yourself and the future of your family
and your future as a person and what you can
provide for your family. Uh Oh, I need to chill.
I need to smoke one. Uh Oh, I needed some

(07:06):
time at happy. I seem like all I do is
dry to work and go to work. I'm gonna go
out with the fellas drink one. Okay, let's say you
spend two hours at Happy I don't know nobody go
to a Happy Hours yet for a hour. Let's say
you spend two hours at Happy I'll all smoke in
all some video games. Let's throw that in there. Two
hours of smoking, chilling video games. That's twenty three hours

(07:29):
of your day gone. Don't you see how your day
slips away from you? So why would you get up early?
You get up early to get a jump. You get
up early to produce, to plan, to become productive. You
get up early in the morning to care about every
single minute of your day. You wake up early in

(07:50):
the morning because you have a plan, a mission, You
have something you want to accomplish. The earlier you get up,
the more time you have just for you to devote
to your plan. You map it out, you make them,
send some emails, whatever it is you need to do
to get your dream under way. Then you go get ready.
Then you get in your car and go to work.

(08:11):
Then you go to your job. But on your job,
instead of sitting at your lunch break messing around with
a bunch of people laughing and talking about nothing, playing dominoes.
Why don't you take that hour to do some more research,
to send out some more emails, to put some feelings
out there, to see what can get you in the
place that you want to be. Then when you get off,
instead of driving straight home, why don't you go somewhere

(08:33):
in a meeting, you take in a session with some
people in a positive mental state, group of people that
get together. Network for business, not drink at happy hour.
I set network for business. So after you've done that
eight that you don't really care for on a job,
you spend some more time pursuing, looking into researching, working towards,
sending out some more applications, putting in some more time

(08:57):
to build your new app discussing some more network working ideas. Okay,
that's your happy hour. Then when you go home, instead
of chilling drinking one, having a cold, one, smoking one,
playing a video game, why don't you take that two
hours and devote that to that business idea? You got
to that family that you talk about, You really want

(09:17):
spend some time with your children, put something into them.
Do something. Man, when all these precious hours that God
gives all of us in the course of a day,
take advantage of every minute of that No human being
has more than twenty four hours a day, including myself.
But if you care about every single minute of that day,

(09:39):
you'll be amazed at how much you could get accomplished
in a twenty four hour day. But you can't get
none of that happening because you sleep, and you chilling
and you smoking. Okay, what has that done for you,
your family or your future? Care about every minute of
your day?

Speaker 8 (09:58):
You're listening.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Show, ladies and gentlemen. Right now is now. I don't
know if you understand that, but now is a very
very important moment because it's the only moment that we
really have and we have now. Right now is now,
and now is a new day for all of us.

(10:22):
Now there's a new opportunity for all of us. Now
there's a chance for us to all be grateful to
tell God, thank you, Heavenly Father for this moment. Call now,
because right now, man, I'm so glad I made it.

Speaker 10 (19:39):
But right now it is time to ask the CLO,
our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey. This is from Leanna
and Orlana in Bronzeville. Lana says, I asked my husband
for a tennis bracelet. He bought me one with fake
diamonds set in real gold. I told him I would
rather have real diamonds. Why wouldn't he splurge on me

(20:02):
and get the real thing? Am I being ungrateful for
not accepting it?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well? You told him you wanted a tennis brace, See,
you weren't specific. He bought a tennis brace.

Speaker 8 (20:14):
She should have said a diamond tennis bracelet.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well, you know, bro, you know I wasn't. I don't
know if he was being insulting. I mean, you obviously
took offense to it because you wanted the real thing.
He didn't know. He just thought the tenebras. It probably
looked real though to him. Yeah, to her too, well,
somebody knew it wasn't real though, soon as they saw it,

(20:38):
so you know.

Speaker 8 (20:40):
Yeah, So she's saying, is she being ungrateful for not
accepting it?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Well, you're being a bit ungrateful, boy, Jim. You have
every right to want something real, you know, I mean,
you got every right to want that.

Speaker 7 (20:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I ain't mad at you, But if you knew they
was fake diamonds, you better believe your girlfriend's going to.

Speaker 7 (21:01):
Guess.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
And if the miss fake diamonds, you might now you
might want to check that goal, but it'll be green tomorrow,
so just.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Put it on second, all right.

Speaker 8 (21:11):
Moving on to Tracy and Rustin, Tracy writes, I had.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
A one night stand with a man and it was
so much fun. One of my friends told me, the
guy is looking for me to take me out again.
Is he interested in me? Or does he just want
to have sex? Can a one night stand turn into
a real relationship?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Wo? Hey, yeah, yeah it can. It can, and the
only way to find out is to find out why
he's looking for you. It can. It's a possibility that
it could turn into something more. But you said it
was so much funn The question simply is for you, now,

(21:53):
do you want to go have some more fun? I will.

Speaker 8 (21:58):
If it were you. I'm gonna have this fun and
meeting one night, two nights.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Three nights, fullly full one?

Speaker 7 (22:07):

Speaker 1 (22:17):
All right?

Speaker 11 (22:17):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (22:18):
Moving on to Marlena and Salem Colo, Marlena says I
dated a much older man when I was thirty four.
We broke up when a special part stopped working. His
wife found out about us after he died in January,
and she wants to talk to me. I'm sure she
has questions, but should I tell her everything or not?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Why are you talking to her?

Speaker 8 (22:41):
He's going to meet her?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, mess around and get shot. Stop. This ain't gonna
work out for nobody, especially you. Yeah, this ain't gonna
be no wonderful, heart warming conversation and none of it is.
That ain't what that's gonna be.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
What does she think is gonna be? Steve hartwarmy like
the wife is gonna say what to her?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
You know, I know you don't have to be wary.
I know you and Octavia had something special, But I
just wanted to just get a couple of things clear.
When did you all star y'all's relationship When she asked
you that she's trying to draw back to a certain date,

(23:25):
that he missed something and it was gonna be cause
of you. And then that's when the knife come out.
That's when the knife come out. You get your ass
stamp there.

Speaker 11 (23:35):
You get right there?

Speaker 8 (23:37):
Do not go, Please don't go, Marlena.

Speaker 11 (23:41):

Speaker 8 (23:44):
I hope she doesn't go, Steve, But it sounds like
she's going, doesn't it sound like that?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah? Yeah, she going because she's stupid.

Speaker 8 (23:51):
She saying, should I tell her everything?

Speaker 11 (23:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
He meant something to me the lady, y'all always on
with y'all. You was the side piece. Get over there
and be slow. Same time for you to act like
you was chicken. You were slaw corns, green beans and
bad green beans to the one. They just run under
the hot water. That's what you want, you decide slow,

(24:17):

all right.

Speaker 10 (24:25):
All right, Moving on that last one, Steve. This is
from Victor in Kansas City. Victor says, I'm marrying a
woman that has three children. I heard her tell her
mom she doesn't want any more children, but if I
really want one, she'll do it. This contradicts what she's
told me, and I want my own child? Should I

(24:45):
pause our wedding planning.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
From she said, she doesn't want one, but if you insist,
she'll have one, So she.

Speaker 8 (24:55):
Can't have it.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
That's the problem. I mean, you can understand her hesitancy.
She's got three. She's the one that's got to carry them,
so she got every right not to want anymore. But
she said, if you insist, she'll have one. Now the
problem is, are you gonna insist because you want your
own child? Okay, dog, I.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Don't know what you tell and that's fine too for
him to want to You.

We'll have some entertainment news for you right after this.
You're listening hard morning show.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Well.

Speaker 10 (27:43):
A new lawsuit filed in Los Angeles is presenting more
trouble for Diddy.

Speaker 8 (27:48):
Diddy is named in a suit filed by Grace oh mccarcay.

Speaker 10 (27:53):
She claims that Ditty's son, Christian Comb, sexually assaulted her
back in twenty twenty two during a New Year's Eve
party where she was hired to serve drinks on a
boat that was chartered by Ditty. Grace was twenty five
years old when the alleged sexual assault happened. She claimed
that she saw partying and drug use between a constant

(28:14):
rotation of suspected sex workers and celebrities. She has also
provided audio clips as evidence that she repeatedly rejected Christian
Colmb's advances while he groped her all over her body.
The lawsuit charges Christian with sexual assault, sexual harassment, and
infliction of emotional distress. Grace's lawyer said quote like father,

(28:36):
like son, it gives us no joy or pleasure in
filing suit against Christian Colms, who has clearly adopted his
father's pattern and practice of depravity. The lawyer also represents
Rodney lul Rod Jones, who filed lawsuit against Ditty earlier
this year.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Wow, man, it.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Yeah, keeps filing up, keeps charges. Yeah, this keeps spying,
it does yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:05):
Moving on to.

Speaker 10 (29:08):
You guys remember Good Times? Of course, we remember James,
remember Florida, Remember JJ Pelma, Michael, and of course you
two Wollona from the seventies hit show Good Times.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
Well, Good Times is back. Believe it or not.

Speaker 10 (29:21):
It's in an animated series on Netflix. It's a reboot
of the classic sitcom. It features JB. Smooth, Jay Farrow,
Evette Nicole Brown, and other great actors' voices. Good Times
is being produced by the late Norman Lear, the producer
of the original sitcom, along with Steph Curry and Seth
McFarlane who does Family Guy and all that.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
But last month when the trailer for Good Times, when that.

Speaker 10 (29:46):
Was released, well, it received a lot of backlash for
its stereotypical depiction of a black family in present day times.
So here's the question, guys, what do you think do
we need another show with negative stereotypes?

Speaker 8 (30:01):
Because that was what was going on in Good Times
back in the seventies, But now, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
In these days, I mean, if you look at the
current climate in which we all live in today, I
can understand the complaint. Of course, that's not what we need.
But we got to stop helping to perpetuate these things ourselves.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
We gotta look at our music that we put out.
We got to look at our content that we put out.
You know, we got to look at, you know, all
of these platforms how we use ourselves in social media? Right,
we are our own worst enemy in social media. We
are destroying our own culture ourselves, and then we get

(30:55):
mad when somebody else join in. I don't know how
Norman lives producing anything from Damn Graves, so you know,
but then we got the names attached to it, like
mac Farther Curry is attached to it. You know, if
you're gonna put your name on it, then you gotta
be willing to deal with it. Is it a cartoon?

Speaker 8 (31:19):
Is it for your animated so?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean what we're talking about here to saint a documentary,
you know, it gotta be a tasteful way to do it.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
Though, Yeah, you would think you would think.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
You gotta be well, how how can that be?

Speaker 8 (31:33):
And they make movies about the seventies and all this
stuff all the.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Time, but this is an animated series on Netflix. How
can it be tastefully done? When you got this girl
sexy Red out here talking about my booty whole brown
and I'm just trying to get it, get it what
we want now. At one point in time, we gotta
take responsibility for what's happening here.

Speaker 10 (31:59):
No, Steve, you know what It's funny you mentioned sexy
read because there is a debate going on in social media.
This was happening over the weekend. It's not the first
time this has come up. Should schools invite celebrities, mainly
like rap and hip hop artists into the school to
speak to the student body. Sexy Read, known for her
provocative lyrics, you just mentioned some of them and her

(32:22):
stage show.

Speaker 8 (32:23):
Showed up to a Georgia school. It was a high school.
She showed up there to speak to the student.

Speaker 10 (32:28):
Body, and the school's principal escorted her out because she
smelled like marijuana.

Speaker 8 (32:34):
So what does Sexy Red do?

Speaker 10 (32:36):
Instead, she did a few songs in the school's parking
lot from the sun roof of a car as students
were leaving school. The video went viral and the parents
were outraged in the comments because she was there. So
her song Poundtown you mentioned the lyrics from that song.
We're all parents on the show, So what do you
think about entertainers guest.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
In the school. Would you say, Tommy, she's.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
Out of control for that? You didn't nine, They didn't
put you out of school. Now you're in the parking lot.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
Because she smelled like marijuana.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, who invited her in the first place? Yeah? If
you know this woman's show, in this woman's music, what
is she going to say to your children that's gonna
be of any benefit to the edification and uplift of
their life? What what could she say? So see, you

(33:31):
can be so enthralled with celebrityism or celebrity or whatever
you want to call it. You can be so caught
up in that that you think just having a celebrity
is good. Well, you gotta look at what they're gonna
say to the kids. What's the message that they're gonna send.
And anyway, Oh, sexy Red whatever her name is, it's

(33:51):
not the cause of the problem, right, It's not just
this young lady here. So what school invited them? And yes,
I think rappers can be very, very valuable in the
use of getting messages out to young people. It just
depends on what they want to say. Look, don't make
the mistakes I made. You can't get a better person

(34:11):
than somebody with some hands on advice.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
That's right, Steve.

Speaker 10 (34:14):
All right, coming up at twenty minutes after a woman
won ninety thousand dollars on a scratch off and quit
her job, we'll talk about that right after this.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
You're listening Hardy Morning Show, all right, So check this out, guys.

Speaker 10 (34:30):
Rashawn Tolliver of Hopskinsville, Hopskinsville, Kentucky, won ninety thousand dollars
on a scratch off. Okay, congratulations, that's wonderful. When she
realized that she had won, she said she'd never hollowed
that loud before. This was a little over a month ago,
March fourth, and after she won, she immediately drove to Louisville, Kentucky,

(34:55):
to contect her to collect her cash payout of sixty
four thousand dollars sixty four thousand, eight hundred dollars now.
In a statement to lottery officials, she said that she
had quit her job after she found out she won
the money. She said, I was unhappy with my job
and God made away. I felt bad leaving, but I'm relieved.

(35:16):

At sixty folk gonna get away from you so fast, man,
because she findsh blurred some of it.

Speaker 10 (52:46):
All right, thank you, nephew. Subject I want to tell
her so bad. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am the baby
girl of two older sisters. My oldest sister lives in
a gated community and she's a housewife. But she's not
too bright. She's just a rich and pretty homebody whose
husband has been cheating on her for a long time.

(53:07):
I felt bad about it for years, but now I
feel worse because I have a secret that I can
no longer keep. My middle sister is having sex with
my brother in law and I saw it for myself.
I stayed over their house to babysit for them while
they had a Christmas party at the house. My nephew
and I were upstairs in his room playing a video game,
and I heard a lot of banging on the bathroom

(53:28):
wall closest to his room. I went and listened at
the door because it was locked. I heard my middle
sister's voice, but I couldn't hear the man's voice. I
waited for them to come downstairs. She came first, then
my brother in law. I was shocked that my older
sister didn't notice them. A few days later, I picked

(53:49):
my nephew up from school and he said, my middle
sister is at their house all the time to.

Speaker 8 (53:55):
Meet with his daddy.

Speaker 6 (53:56):
Here.

Speaker 10 (53:57):
Recently, I found out my middle sister is working with
my brother in law. So I finally told her that
I know everything. She smirked like she was proud, and
she told me that my brother in law really wants
to be with her. I told her she's older than
I am, but way more stupid. How was I born
into a family full of such ditsy women. I want

(54:19):
to tell my other, my older sister, what's going on
and I don't care about being the black sheep of
the family. Should I finally expose my cheating brother in law?

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (54:29):
Ooh, your sister is foul. I'm sorry you have to
be in the middle of all of this mess.

Speaker 10 (54:36):
I mean, you know, you're the baby You're the baby girl,
and you have these two older sisters, and your sister
has no remorse.

Speaker 8 (54:43):
I mean this is her flesh and blood. She's doing
this too.

Speaker 10 (54:46):
The husband is trash too, and obviously they both don't
care about anybody but themselves.

Speaker 8 (54:53):
I want to say that this is none of your business.
I really, really really want to.

Speaker 10 (54:57):
Say that, But this is family, and it's your sister
doing it to your other sister. This is crazy and
it's just way too close to home because this can
be This can destroy your family, This can break you
guys up. You said your sister smirked and said that
the husband wants to be with her when you told
her that you knew everything. So as far as I'm concerned,

(55:19):
she deserves to be exposed and she needs to know
she can't get away with this.

Speaker 8 (55:24):
This is wrong.

Speaker 10 (55:25):
You'll have one sister mad at you and the other
one mad but grateful to you for telling her hopefully,
so get ready.

Speaker 8 (55:33):
To deal with this.

Speaker 10 (55:34):
You know, these attitudes and what's going to happen these
situations if you do tell Steve.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
You know what, Shirley, I agree with you because I
don't have a clear cut way because this is family. Yeah. Now,
if this is just your girlfriend or something like that,
I'll say, mind you b business. But they'd have made
it your business by letting you find out what the
carelessness of it all. Now here's a situation. She has

(56:03):
two older sisters. The oldest sister is married to this man,
and all she is is a stay at home mom,
which is great, toughest job in the world. But she
says she's not too bright. She's just a rich and
pretty homebody whose husband has been cheating on her for
a long time. Okay, Now, come to find out he's

(56:25):
cheating with your middle sister. So your oldest sister's husband
is sleeping with you. All's middle sister, cause you're the
youngest and the oldest one is married to this man
and he's sleeping with the middle sister. You found out
cause of the baby and something you heard in the

(56:46):
bathroom and banging on the walls and all this here Okay.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Normally I would say, like Shirley said, mind your business,
but this is family. I can cut to the chase,
and when we come back on the second and half,
I'll just tell you. I'll take questions on this from
Shirley anything she would ask me as to why as
a man would do something like this, so blah blah
blah blah blah. But here's the deal, the solution for this.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
I think.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Should I give the solution now or wait till the
next break?

Speaker 8 (57:18):
Sure, let's hold it over. Let's wait, Let's wait a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yeah, well, I need to know how much time I
got to kill, so I can just let me think.
All right, let me put it to you this way.
I have a solution for this. Okay, I think I
have a way that would solve it for everybody. I
want to hear that, and I think I have of

(57:43):
the perfect way to do it. And then we let
the chips fall where they may. This is going to
be shocking what I'm about to say. This solution I
have never offered before, but I think I found it
to help everybody with this situation. Now, listen to me

(58:08):
when I give you my summation of what I think
should happen. You can ask me any question you like
about it when we come back. Shirley, Why I chose
this as a viable solution, What good I think it
may do? What harm I think it may cause? But
this is a different situation, so let me go over

(58:29):
it one last time. There are three sisters involved. The
one who's written the letter is the youngest sister. She
has two older sisters. Her oldest sister is married to
a man who has money. She thinks her oldest sister
is just a rich, pretty homebody who has a husband
that's been cheating on her for a number of years.

(58:50):
Come to find out she's cheating with the middle sister.
She don't know what to do. She approached the middle
sister and told her she knew, and she smirked and said,
he really wants me. Yeah, fired out what my solution
is after this?

Speaker 10 (59:05):
Coming up at twenty three minutes after, I want to
tell her so bad that the subject will be right back.

Speaker 8 (59:10):
You're listening Steve hard Morning Show.

Speaker 10 (59:13):
All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is I want to tell her so bad.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Well, here's a deal. This three sisters are involved in this.
The youngest one wrote the letter because her oldest sister
is married to a man with money, but she considers
her oldest sister just a pretty dumb homebody whose husband
has been cheating on her for years. She found out
through babysitting over at the house that the woman that

(59:39):
she's cheating with is their middle sister, and the baby
confirmed it at school, talking about she always come over
my daddy house, and you found out they work together.
You finally told your sister, your middle sister, that you
know everything. She smirked like she was proud, and she
told me that my brother in law really wants to
be with her. And then you told her she's older

(01:00:03):
than I am, but way more stupid. And then she says,
I was born into a family full of such ditsy women.
I want to tell my oldest sister what's going on.
I don't care about being a black sheep, but a
family should I finally expose my cheating brother in law. Well,
the exposing is gonna be your cheating brother in law
and your backstabbing family portraying sister. Now, the lowest person

(01:00:30):
in this letter is your sister.

Speaker 11 (01:00:33):
Yeah, because she.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Violated her sister. This is family now, so she's the
lowest person in this letter. Your brother in law ain't
worth a damn. I don't know how he thought this
was a smart move. All these chicks out here, dog,
and this one you pick. You got to be crazy,

(01:00:56):
but it's happened. Here is my solution for the entire thing.
The girl said, I don't care about being the black sheep,
but the family should. I finally expose my cheating brother
in law. Here's the deal. If you tell it, your
oldest sister gonna be mad at you, the brother in
law gonna be done with you, and the middle sister

(01:01:18):
gonna be done with you like it's your fault and
it's not. But since you bring the person that brings
the bad news, you usually the one takes the brunt
of the blame. Here is the solution. You should go
and tell your mother, the mother, Go and tell your mama,

(01:01:41):
present all the evidence, and then you walk away. Let
the matriarch of the family decide how she gonna handle it. Now,
I don't know if y'all's daddy is in y'all's life.
I'm assuming your mother is. I'm just assuming. But if
you tell the mother you can walk away. You can

(01:02:05):
walk away, and then your mother can handle it the
way she wants to, because your mother could say it
was taed her up. She didn't want to know. She
needed somebody to confide in. Y'all can put y'all baby
sister in this crazy position. And she came to me,
that is what y'all gonna do. And let somebody older
handlele this situation, and you get out of it and

(01:02:28):
stay away from it. But I would take it to the.

Speaker 8 (01:02:30):
Mother and hopefully the mother, yeah, would happen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I don't care what the mama do.

Speaker 8 (01:02:37):
I mean, as a baby sister, you don't care if
the mother, well.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
If you take it to the mother, didn't, let it
be on the mother, let her decide what to do.
Then you stay out of it. Okay, take it, take
it off the youngest and put it all the way
on the oldest.

Speaker 8 (01:02:52):
Okay, And what about what about the sister who's being cheated.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
On the sister that's being cheat I'm gonna have to
hear the news from the mama.

Speaker 10 (01:03:06):
This is this is tough, this is I just don't understand,
like you say, there's so many women out there, why
would he choose the sister. Is it because of the
convenience of.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
It, all of it all, the daringess y, Yeah, the
danger element, the ego. I got both these sisters. Man,
I'm doing her sister too. Wow. And he done told
a couple of his homeboys, so.

Speaker 8 (01:03:35):
They knew and the sister.

Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
The sister obviously doesn't care, because when the young baby's
sister told her that she knew, she smirked and said,
he wants.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
To be with me anyway, So she of course that's
what he told her.

Speaker 8 (01:03:48):
Yeah, the selfishness of it all.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
But now how you think that's gonna work?

Speaker 10 (01:03:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
You think he gonna divorce his wife and marry right
back into the family. Yeah, that is gonna hate him?
What you can't even You can't even a dude. Ain't
that stupid? You're gonna divorce this woman and then mary

(01:04:18):
right back into the family. Are you kidding me? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:04:25):
Yeah, But in her crazy head, that's what she's thinking
is gonna happen because she just smirked.

Speaker 8 (01:04:30):
She's cool with it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
She's jealous of her older sister because she's prettier, richer,
and she got the lifestyle. I could have had him too.
He won't me, just like he won't you. No, he
just want to do you.

Speaker 10 (01:04:46):
Yeah, because if somebody doesn't tell the baby's gonna say something.
Because the baby already told the baby sister, the boy
that she you know, he already told her that she's
over there all the time, sister, My daddy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
And oh should be kissing the real hard and be
cutting the water on.

Speaker 8 (01:05:05):
Yes, somebody's got to say something soon.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
They broke the water found in there, rod down. We
ain't got no more toilet.

Coming up at the top of the hour, Lady needs
some advice if she wants to know if her boyfriend
loves her or her financial stability.

Speaker 8 (01:08:58):
We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening Morning show,
all right, Steve.

Speaker 10 (01:09:06):
This is from Amy and Harlem. Amy says, I'm in
love with a man that makes less money than I do.
We've been together for almost two years and he wants
to move into my home and sell his house. But
I recently found out his house belongs to his brother,
so he won't get any money from the sale of
the house. He also pays child support. I don't mind
being the breadwinner or helping him out financially at times,

(01:09:29):
but I need to know if he is truly in
love or if he is using me as a lifeline.
How can I tell the difference?

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Well, if you feel like you're being used as a lifeline,
it's because that's what's happening.

Speaker 8 (01:09:44):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Can he be in love with you because you're his lifeline?
Of course? But there are other things too. Number one,
how does he treat you? Number two? How does he
make you feel?

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
Three?

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Do you feel safe and secure with him? Ask yourself
those very very basic questions. How does he make you feel?
And do you feel safe and secure with him? And
outside of money, what does he have to offer you?

(01:10:22):
What is the benefit if money weren't involved? Here? Tell
me what's the upside of dating him? Okay, you should
be able to fill out that form that I just
gave it. If you can't put nothing in them blocks,
it's because it ain't.

Speaker 8 (01:10:37):
Nothing that Wow, And he's gonna sell a house that
he doesn't even own.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Well, first of all, how you're gonna sell a house,
you do. That's that's that's gibber jabber?

Speaker 7 (01:10:48):
What what? What?

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Gibber jabber? Anybody what? Look? Yea, I'm gonna say my
brother's house out of own. I ain't gonna make no
money off of what I'm gonna do, and they'll move
here with you. Now. What didn't happen is his brother
said he's selling the house and he ain't gonna have
nowhere to stay.

Speaker 8 (01:11:14):
Oh okay, come on, yeah, and he's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Selling his brother's house. His brother came and said, hey, man,
I'm gonna sell this house. You need to start looking
somewhere because if his sales might be a quick sale.
We're in Harlem, you know those properties are skyrocketing. Now yeah,
Broug gonna make a nice little profit. He gonna be out.

Speaker 8 (01:11:34):
So now he needs some place to stay, so he's
looking at her.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
They gonna move in with you. Uh huh.

Speaker 8 (01:11:41):
He doesn't even own the house. So and he pays
child support.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
So okay, yeah that's good.

Speaker 10 (01:11:50):
Oh so that's how she can tell the difference, which
was what her question was, Well, just very simple.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
How does he make you feel? Do you feel feel
safe and secure? What does he do for you outside
of money and just answer those questions. It's very simple. Okay,
all right, obviously she don't need his money. If you
don't need his money, what is it that you get

(01:12:18):
from him besides him coming over, you know, sleeping with you.

Speaker 10 (01:12:22):

My husband and I got really drunk on vacation and
he asked me if he could have a threesome. I
said no, and I meant no. It came up the
other day and he said I was drunk and I
don't remember that. I told him yes. We got into
an argument and he said he's doing it with or
without me? Was he bluff or was he putting me out?

It is our last break of the day, and we'll
close out the show with the one and only the
myth legend, Steve Harvey.

Speaker 8 (01:19:02):
Right after this. You're listening Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys,
here we are last break of the day on this Monday. Yep.
See if you have some inspiring words to take a seat.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
As a matter of fact, I do it was this
isn't comes from an off air conversation I was having
with the crew.

Speaker 9 (01:19:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
My closing remarks today are to help you all understand, uh,
the process of success. And I was explaining to the
crew something that had happened, uh in my career, and
I just wanted to share it with you all so
you all can understand the process of success. You know,

(01:19:44):
it's amazing how some people are in your life, uh
to provide you with pivotal moments, and you have to
recognize it when it's happening. And I got to admit
to you, you don't always know right away when it's happened.
But if you keep putting one foot in front of
the other and keep moving forward, God usually reveals to

(01:20:06):
you why certain things happen. And it's amazing how people
oftentimes and sometimes will dig a hole for you, not
realizing that they're not really trying. What they would consider
burying you is actually planting you. And I want to

(01:20:30):
thank the people in my life. Who have attempted to
bury me when all you ended up doing was planning me.
The dirt you threw on me turned out to be
just the fertile nutrients I needed to sprout something new, bigger,
and better. So I want to thank you. I'll give

(01:20:52):
you the example. I was referring to this guy who
I won't mention his name, decided and I knew something
was up because on my birthday, and I was right
across the street from his office on the lot, and
he didn't send a birthday card. They normally always send
celebrities Christmas gifts and birthday card, but I noticed I
didn't get a Christmas gift that year. And my birthday

(01:21:15):
was in January and I didn't get a birthday gift.
So I knew then what was going to happen in May.
You know, mayors, when they have the upfronts and television,
they decide what stays and what goes. So I knew
it was over anyway. And May came, and what happened

(01:21:35):
was he doubled down. He not only canceled my talk show,
he canceled Little Big Shots. Now this was crazy because
we were talking about two hit shows. They were two hits,
but he had an idea in his head to get

(01:21:55):
rid of me because for whatever the reason, he didn't
like me. And I could tell you on the inside
why he didn't like me, because well, the decision was made,
The decision was given to them to accept Family Feud
Celebrity Family Feud. He came to me and turned it down.
I gave it to them first since I had two

(01:22:16):
shows on the network. They turned it down. Well, then
after it became a hit, the guy came to me
and asked me to pull Celebrity Family Feud off because
it's messing up their lineup because the numbers on Family Feud.
Celebrity Family Feud was so big. Well, I refuse to
do it because I don't like to do stuff like that.

(01:22:37):
Here's somebody that believed in me. You didn't believe in it,
and then now you see it winning, you want me
to walk away? And his exact words were, well, we
have two of your shows on our network. It would
only seem smart. I said, well, I came to you
in the beginning, so I guess he didn't like that answer.
So he said, I'll tell you what. You won't help me.
I'm not gonna help you. So he canceled both the shows.

(01:22:58):
At one time. It was a surprise to me, but
he thought he would get rid of me since I
didn't want to work with him. But I offered this
show to him first. So now let me tell you
what eventually happened. Little did he know what he had done.
What oftentimes God does for you and if you stay

(01:23:19):
in there, like I always tell people, behind every moment
of adversity, there are two things that happened. There's a
lesson and there's a blessing. So what he did was
he didn't know it, but he had really answered a
prayer of mine because I've been asking God for more
time to be able to explore other types of business

(01:23:39):
ventures and I was working too much. Well guess what.
That freed up thirty five weeks of talk show, and
that freed up twenty two episodes of Little Big Shots,
so I had some more time. Now. What he didn't
know was it's that dirt that he threw on me
was the very fertile nutrient that I needed to give

(01:24:03):
birth to a new plant. So out of that moment
came a meeting I had with ABC, and I mentioned
the show I had in mind about being a TV judge.
Next thing you know, they green lit it, and all
of a sudden, the Judge Show was born. The Judge
Show turned out to be a better business deal for
me than both of those shows put together. The guy

(01:24:25):
that got rid of me, guess what when he lost
those two his shows and what he replaced me didn't
do well. Kelly Clarkson has done well, and she's really
cool and I love her. I got no problem with that.
But Little Big Shots is gone. That cost him his job,
along with the other bad moves he made. So sometimes
when it looks like somebody is slamming the door in

(01:24:47):
your face, somebody trying to bury you, and they throwing
dirt on you, remember the dirt that they throw on
you can actually be fertile nutrient soil and it's gonna
give birth to something else. And I want to thank
him for that. And y'all keep your head up when
bad stuff happened to you, because you never know somebody
trying to bury you, but God might be planting you.

(01:25:08):
That's what I learned in that whole thing. So when
you think I'm buried, you better hold on. I might
have just got replanted. Thank you. Those are my closing
remarks today. Hey, y'all, talk to God today. He would
absolutely love to hear from you and go to him
just like you all. Okay, y'all stay in Key.
