Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all know what time.

Speaker 1 (00:05):

given the.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Black busy listening to me, I don't joy, Yah, yeah, joy.

(00:59):
You gotta use that.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
You love.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Turn you gotta turn. You can.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
To turn the mouth.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Turn you probably got to turn mouth, turn out the
water the water jump.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Come come on, you're think, uh huh, I sure will.
Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice. Come on,
digney now want and only see Harvey got a radio show.
Five things that I know successful people have to do

(02:17):
to be successful. The principles are the same. You can
apply it to anything, you know, if you want to
be happily married, you know, whatever it is. The principles
of success are the same. There are a series of
things that you have to do. You cannot skip the
steps of success. If you do, you're going to have
to go back and step on them anyway. So here's

(02:39):
here's here's a part man that I want you all
to understand about me and and and and about how
to look at it. You know, you you cannot underestimate
faith and prayer, You just can't. You cannot underestimate the

(03:03):
power of faith and the power of prayer.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
See for me. This is just for me.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Now, this ain't in the scripture nowhere. This is just
something I discovered. What prayer did for me was was
it tied me to my creator.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It gave me a sense.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
And I'm describing it this way, but I'm telling you
it's deeper than this. But it gave me a sense
that I wasn't alone, and at actuality I wasn't. But
prayer helped connect me to the power source that was
available to me to get through, get around, or get

(03:48):
over whatever it was that was in the way, whether
it was just a period I stretched, I had to
go through hard work, It had to period I had
to go through to learn some lessons, some periods I
had to go through from having to pay for some
of the mistakes I've made.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Whatever the case may be.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Prayer gave me a decided advantage, especially oh here we go,
especially over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in
my life that were my enemies. I didn't want them
to be my enemies, make no mistake about this. But

(04:30):
through the thing called life, some things went down. Some
things happened from here and then went over here and
that way, and a person became my enemy. The majority
of enemies I have came out of nowhere. I have
no reason to even see why they are my enemies.
But you know, life goes on, man. It happens from

(04:51):
time to time. Some people just won't let it go.
See some people, in their quest to do something to
you or to make you pay, they just won't let
it go. What may cause you some discomfort, and some
of it may be lies about you and all of
this and all of that, but that that can't prohibit

(05:12):
you from going forward. So what I'm saying is prayer
gave me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to either
go through it, go around it, or go over it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
But it happened. I do not know how I could
have made it without faith and without prayer. It would have.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
Something would have got me. YouTube would have got me.
The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I
grew up with, that used to laugh behind my back,
they would have got me. My friend that went over
my mother's house one time and told her, you know

(05:58):
what Steve's problem is, he out there telling them jokes.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
He just lazy. He don't want to work.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That would have got me.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
They didn't know.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
I ain't really mad at them because they was just
all they was doing was based in their conversations and
passing judgment based on what they knew, based on what
they believed.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
They didn't believe I was gonna make it. But that's
them though.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
If it was not for faith, which is the belief
in things that you cannot see, I wouldn't have made
it because I would have listened to everybody else who
didn't see me get in here and went along with it.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
And then prayer.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Oh my goodness, man, how many times has prayer bailed
me out? Prayer has bailed me out, press still bailing
me out. Tell you the truth, man, quiet as it's
kept prayer, that connection to your heavenly Father, that connection

(07:01):
to your creator, that connection to that source of power
and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that you were alone.
You know, I was watching the Bishop Jakes on TV
yesterday and it was a repeat and one of the
things he was talking about, well, let me just get
to the gist of it. I was going through a

(07:24):
portion of my life and I went through it for
some years, y'all. I had gotten myself into a jam
that lasted for years. I'm telling you, for years, with
some serious consequences to follow.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
For years. And I was so busy looking at where
I was at.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
I was sulking sometimes, Man, i'd get on the radio, Man,
I'd be just done.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I was sulking. My my.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
Spirit had gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight,
and I would come on some mornings, man, and I
would try try not to let on, but I was hurting.
I was because I had been in for years. Man,
I had been in this thing for years, and one
thing I was doing. I was so busy looking at
where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop Jakes,

(08:24):
he preached this sermon. He was talking about so busy
looking at where you at.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
That you don't.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Even realize that God has been with you the entire time.
And you know what, Man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I
heard this and I text him. I text Bishop Jakes,
and I thanked him because it was an old message
I could tell. And I called him up and I said, Man,

(09:01):
thank you so much. I was just watching you on
TV and you told me, Man, something that I that
I'll always remember that whatever you're going through, that He's
there with you the whole time. But see when sometimes
when you're so busy looking at where you at, you
don't even notice where he is. And see sometimes, Man,
that that helped me, and that's going to help me

(09:23):
in the future to realize that what I'm going through,
that he's there. He's there with me, and he gonna
protect me, and he ain't gonna let my enemies overcome me,
and he ain't gonna let nobody overtake me, and he
ain't gonna let me go under because he's there.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's just you can't be so busy looking at where
you at that you don't take notice of where he at.

Speaker 7 (09:42):
God is always there, He's always available, and the best
way to tap into that and know it is you
got to pray. Prayer has changed my life. Prayer can
change your life. You can become something if you just pray.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Ladies and gentlemen, the time is here.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Another day has arrived, another blessing, another gift from God.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Man just keeps doing it over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Over again and again and again and again, once again,
once again, one more time, or what.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Repeated me?

Speaker 7 (10:27):
Same son, come up every day, same son ain't never late.
Come up, right, man, I'm amazed. Well, I'm gonna leave
y'all alone with it. I'm gonna let y'all feel how
you wanna feel. I've been trying for the past few
months here, seemed like it just stuck with a lot
of people. Some people just ain't gonna come along. He'll
be all right, don't feel better about yourself.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Well, well, okay, hopefully their marriage will survive. Coming up next,
So Collot, the top of the hour was for you
right after this. Oh, it's going to be one of
those days you're listening hard morning show. Well, according to

(29:23):
MSN dot Com, Anita Baker, fans in Atlanta were upset
this past Saturday when Anita canceled her show. The doors
to Anita State Farm Arena show opened to guests at
six pm and lights were expected to go down at
seven pm, but it never happened due to late unforeseen circumstances.
Tonight's and Evening with Anita Baker event featuring eight time

(29:46):
Grammy Award winning superstar Anita Baker, set to take place
at State Farm Arena has been canceled, was the message
the email sent out to ticket holders less than fifteen
minutes before she was expected to grace this stage. Purchasers
were guaranteed a full refund at first and out for
a confusion and disappointments spilled out into the public from

(30:08):
concert gores. However, compassion and grace were soon expressed by
fans who simply wanted to know just was Anita doing okay?
Was she all right?

Speaker 17 (30:17):
So yeah you go.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Here's here's a question. Though, you guys perform all the
time on stage, have you ever had to cancel a
show so close to showtime? Have you ever had to
do that?

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Guy?

Speaker 7 (30:31):
Steve No No, all my years from stand up, I
missed two shows, one because of the plane couldn't make
it to Birmingham. I missed the first show. I ended
up doing the last two and then a show in Knoxville.
I didn't make it too old time because the car

(30:53):
broke down. When I was with Luther.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Luther's voice went out while he was on stage into
the first song. Yeah Yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:01):
We was in Detroit and he said he said, oh no,
I can't do it tonight, and came back two weeks later.
Then people don't want their money back at all. Luther
came back two weeks later.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Wait by yeah, home run here knocked it on the
park at the park.

Speaker 11 (31:16):
Wow, I told but told me, But you got to
tell some new jokes because they already told you, already
told them two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I said, well, I be don go. I'm the only
one gotta change.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
But you rose.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
Thinking about him, got to he didn't change songs. Right,
that's the difference between comedy and yeah they come here.
It hits the comedy.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
You can't do that. Hell all right?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, they never said what was wrong with Anita, so
it was.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
To be upset about that though.

Speaker 7 (31:51):
Yeah, you send the email out fifteen minutes before we'll
go get that.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
They already I'm in the venue waiting mom. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
This one lady. She went off on TikTok on social
media talking about Anita Bay and I.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
Was like, well, first of all, you don't even know
what happened, you know. Yeah, well she doesn't have an
im castling show.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah no, no right. In other news, HBO's real time
host Bill Maher thinks Donald Trump is crazy. During a
recent CBS interview, Bill Maher said, the liberals irritate him,
but the Conservatives alarm him. Take a listen.

Speaker 19 (32:35):
They're very alarming. They're extremely alarming, more alarming.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
What do you say to your critics, though, who say?
Then you should just focus on.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
Them, Bill, If they're more alarming to you than the left,
and why not shine the spotlight on them only.

Speaker 19 (32:49):
The truth isn't one sided like that. The Democrats constantly
are running against Trump with the idea you people out
there couldn't shall vote for this guy, and people are saying,
watch me, hauld my beer, watch me to vote for
him again, instead of just saying, oh, he's lying. We

(33:11):
know he's a liar. He's Donald Trump. He can't help himself.
He's crazy. I mean, I think literally crazy. I think
there's a kind of a level of malignant narcissism which
is not just a personality quirk. It's diagnosable and he
suffers from it.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Oh okay. Trump, of course, has repeatedly lashed out at
Bill Maher, calling him.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
The worst, the worst.

Speaker 7 (33:37):
Why See, if you're going to call a man the worst,
then why but if he calls him the worst, he
has a long list of why. You know, I just
I just think he's really spot on when he said
that if you think they're not going to vote for him,
because I can't believe you're going to vote for him,
they just go and watch me. And that's exactly what's happening.

(33:59):
And this race, this is extremely close. I mean, it's
not even a percentage point away, which is a sad,
sad statement for this country right here.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
This is a this is we our country right here
at this point is just shameful at this point, it
really really is. It's just shameful.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
It's ridiculous, man, that you can that you can put
forth this type of representation for your calls and your party.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
And the only reason you can do that is because
you're fine with it, because that's how you really are.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
And they walk amongst us, Yeah, finally, and entertainment no
where they live too. Whoopy Tobert has been married three
times and she is over marriage, she says. While doing
her press tour to promote a new memoir Bits in Pieces,
My Mother, My Brother and Me, journalist Chris Chris Wallace
asked Whoopy about her marriages. She said she does not

(34:56):
have energy for that kind of relationship. Whoopy went on
to say, when you're married to someone, you have to
be invested in how they're feeling. I am not, So
what do you believe is the key to a healthy,
long lasting relationship.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
Come on, somebody that's been married three times, come on,
how you feel? I agree with what will be saying,
except you got to find someone who is worth being
the investment because the return is so valuable. That's the

(35:35):
only thing I can understand what she is because I
was sick of investing with a low return, and I'm
sure they might have felt the same way too. But
when you find somebody that's worth the investment because the
ROI the return on your investment is great, then it's
worth the investment.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
And that's all it is. Just been making bad choices,
all right?

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Coming up in twenty minutes after the hour. It's graduation season.
We'll talk about it right after this you're listening Morning show. Well,
student's graduation season. Whether you're graduating from high school or college,
it's a huge milestone in your life. This is a
time when students reflect on their time at school look
ahead to their future. So what advice would you give

(36:20):
a graduate? And part two of that question is what
advice can you give the soon to be empty nester
parents whose kids are going off to college.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Well, first of all, that empty nests ain't gonna stay
empty loan, get that out your mind.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
They always and they.

Speaker 7 (36:34):
Come back with old people, more people, mold people. Yeah
they have kids. Yeah, they come back with old people.
So get that out your head. My simple advice to
everybody graduating and follow your dream. Follow your dream because
your dreams may have nothing to do with your diploma.
And to get a diploma is a great accomplishment, it's

(36:57):
a it's magnificent. I applaud people who at their education.
I think it's notable. I think it's I think it's
really outstanding that you get education. Education is important in
so many areas of your life. I never ever knock education.
But after you get this degree, it will hang on
your wall and that's it. Nothing will matter after that

(37:22):
except what you do. And a lot of people have
degrees because you declared for a degree when you were younger,
three years.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Ago, two years ago, four years ago, you declared.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
Now, as a full grown adult entering into the work world,
you now must be faced with the reality of this
is my life for real now and what you decided
on when you were younger four years ago may not
be the.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Route for you.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
And it's okay, it's perfectly okay. But the fact that
you got a degree proves that you can accomplish a task.
And now once you know how to accomplish a task,
you can apply that to your life and get on
with it. So congratulations to everybody that's gotten an education,
everybody that's got those college degrees, high school diplomas. Now

(38:08):
it's down to business, because I will tell you right now,
as hard as it's been, as nothing compared to what's
going to go down.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Nothing, It ain't even close. It ain't even close. But
on the empty nestor's two different people.

Speaker 11 (38:25):
Now after all them years gone by, with the kids,
there are the empty nestors.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Two different people.

Speaker 7 (38:31):
When all the kids are gone, well, your life has changed,
and now there's an adjustment that's going to be made.
Because sometimes the kids were a welcome distraction, but now
that they are gone.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
You will find out.

Speaker 7 (38:43):
I know a guy that's struggling right now in his
marriage because they're an empty nestor. And now his wife
has no identity. She don't know what to do because
because that was her life, and now she's clinging and
he and he trying to help her find a hobby
and and it ain't working and they're struggling right now.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Wow, that's real. It's a sit doll, the empty message
right here. Yeah, it's a picture all right.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour. We
will check your voicemail Steve eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve,
right after this listening and it's time now to check
Steve's voicemails eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve. If you
want to leave a message for Steve, you you might
want to call him and you can hear your call
on the air. Maybe, So are you ready, Steve, Yes, Okay,

(39:40):
we have called from We have a call from William
from North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Hey, Steve.

Speaker 16 (39:46):
This is William North Carolina. I just want black people
to wake up and realize that whether they know it
or not, they just renamed the schools in Virginia back
to Confederate soldiers and generals and stuff, but they don't
want to teach it history and stuff in schools. So
I'm just saying people, we need to wake up, start voting,

(40:06):
and watch cause they're trying to make it great again,
back to the times when they were on top and
we were fact struggling. That's all I want to say.
Y'all be blessed, love y'all firm whistler for twenty years
by Well, let.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Me tell you something, man, You're exactly right. That's what's
going on.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
And they're reversing everything because this make America Great Again campaign.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
The scary part.

Speaker 7 (40:30):
That's why all you blacks who are talking about voting
for Trump, I don't even understand if you understand what
that mega hat means make America great again. They want
to take America back to a time when it was
greatest for them. That will not include you, as does
neither does today. So now when you see them reversing

(40:54):
the names of schools and putting Confederate names back on schools.
But you see them racing black history from schools. They're
starting at the educational level. Like I told you before earlier.
Education is important. But if you're not self educated about
who you are, you can lose your value and self love.
And that's what being one of our biggest problems as

(41:15):
a people. We don't know who we really are. We
do not know that we are from kings and queens.
We keep stopping at slavery, but if you knew your
real history, we are from the Valley of Kings, Yes, sir,
we are the original civilation to civilization. We are where

(41:36):
that mankind was created. Everybody in the Bible look like us.
Everybody they they don't want to tell you that, but
you can go back that far. All right, next caller,
all right, thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on tight.
We got it for you here. It is Strawberry letta.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Thanking if you subject my wife used to keep herself up.
Dear Stephen Shirley. I've been married for thirteen years and
my wife and I work from home. I do food
deliveries two nights a week just so I can get
out of the house and give her some space. She
goes walking with ladies in our neighborhood to give me space.

(54:28):
I love that she's lost weight and kept it off,
and so have I. We don't have sex as much
as we used to, but when we do, we still
have the best chemistry. Everything would seem to be great
with us, but it's not because my wife has let
herself go in a lot of ways. I know you're
going to say I'm being petty and I might be
the one with the problem, but check this out. Whenever

(54:50):
my wife and I are about to be intimate, I
encourage her to take a nice bubble bass to get
in the mood. I have to do that for more
reasons than one. When she's going walking with the other ladies,
I suggest that she wear a baseball cap instead of
her hairscarf that she wears to bed every night. I
ordered her exercise clothes so she will stop walking in

(55:10):
my big T shirt and her old jogging pants with
holes in them. I want her to present herself better
than that when she's waving at our neighbors as she
walks by. I have asked her if she realizes her
nails are grown out and need to be redone, and
she's told me that they're fine since she doesn't have
plans to go anywhere. Same with the toenails, because she
stopped trimming them herself. Maybe I'm being too hard on her.

(55:34):
But I want her to be my cute, sexy wife
at all times. And if I have to keep reminding
her to do certain things to maintain herself, it's a problem.
Why do I have to tell her to bathe? Am
I wrong for how I feel? Please help? Well, No,
you're not wrong. How you feel is how you feel.
And if your wife is not bathing bathing, you have

(55:55):
an obligation as her husband to tell her period. I mean,
that's not being paddy. Now why she's not bathing is
a whole other issue. It sounds like just plain laziness
at this point. She works from home now see, and
has nowhere to go, so she doesn't feel the need
or the purpose of doing anything like getting dressed or

(56:17):
getting her hair done or getting her nails done. That
requires a lot of effort for nowhere to go and
nothing to do. And I'm just going to say she's
stuck right now. She really is. She's kind of in
a rut. She's stuck. But she has to remember that
men have egos, they're visual, so please, you know, this
could lead into other things like, you know, causing him

(56:41):
to cheat or giving him a reason to cheat, and
that's what you don't want him to do. Not keeping
yourself is reason enough for some men not to cheat
if you don't keep yourself up. Marriage is work, we
all know that, and part of that work is not
letting yourself go. So you husband, I need you to
start planning some date nights, some dinners out, get back

(57:03):
to doing things with friends outside of the house, so
your wife will have a reason to get dressed and
start feeling good about herself again.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Steve, Wow, Surely, great answer, great answer, great answer.

Speaker 7 (57:18):
I am going to disagree with damn near everything you
said because I think we need to have a counter
to this. Surely, your answers are always pretty much close
to the vest, and you know you're more. You know,
you know you try to be more. I guess diplomatic

(57:39):
in your responses. On the other hand, that ain't my job.
That ain't my job.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
So I will show you what my job is.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Do your job.

Speaker 7 (57:54):
I've been married thirteen years and my wife and I
work from home. So he do food deliveries two nights
week so he can give his wife some space, and
she go walking in the daytime with her ladies to
give him some space. Since they work from home. They
tied each other yeah, see that space. Even though everybody

(58:17):
needs space. I don't care who you are, everybody needs space.
But you're trying to get out of the man, and
she trying to get out of that. And I understand
that because y'all working from home, y'all around each other
all the time.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Eh.

Speaker 7 (58:35):
Now she goes walking with the ladies in our neighborhood
to give me space. And I love the fact that
she's lost weight and kept it off, and so have I.
We don't have sex like we used to. Nobody does, sir,
but we still have the best chemistry. Everything would seem
to be great with us, but it's not.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
And why is it not?

Speaker 7 (58:57):
Because my wife to let herself go in a lot
of ways. Let me stop right here. If a man
writes into a radio show, he and his wits in.
Men don't write in seeking help unless they really need help.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
He over this here, this little routine she pulling. He
done with her.

Speaker 7 (59:24):
Now, Like he said, some people be talking about, well,
you got to be the problem. You love your wife
the way she is. I don't know who keep telling
you all that, you know, especially when women say a
man have to take me as I am. No, he
don't that ain't in our book nowhere. Whenever my wife
and I about to be intimate, I encourage her to
take a nice bubble bath to get in the mood.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I have to do that for more reasons than one.
Now he's trying to be nice right here.

Speaker 7 (59:51):
I try to encourage her to take a bubble bath
to get in the mood for more reasons than one. Now,
a man don't want to out it wife, But we
all know what that means.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
You you done walked? Come on now, friction, Come on now,
you up in hill.

Speaker 19 (01:00:17):
Lot?

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
It got hot? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
Hang on your response? Uh uh? Coming up on twenty
three minutes after today's Strawberry letter, subject my wife used
to keep herself up. We'll get back into it right
after this. You're listening morning show, all right, Come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is my wife

(01:00:44):
used to keep herself up?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
All right.

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
This is a letter about a man who won't been
married thirteen years, and they work from home, so they
run each other all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
They need some space.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
He makes food deliveries twice a week at night to
give her some space, and she go walking with the
ladies in the neighborhood. Give him some space. Everybody needs space. Uh,
you know, when they intimate, they don't have sex like
they used to. But when they intimate, the chemistry still there.
And then I say, you know, but now here go
the problem. Whenever we about to be intimate, I encourage

(01:01:15):
her to take a bubble bath to get in the mood.
I have to do that for more reasons than one.
First of all, let me tell you something. Men don't
need a bubble bath to get in the mood. Something
is wrong here, Something is wrong. I ain't ever got
ready to go in there and say, baby, you won't
go on in there and take a bubble bath now,

(01:01:38):
because I don't need nothing to cause you to change
your mind. If we here now, it looks like it's
popping off. In the words of Marvin Gate, let's get
it home, baby, Come on all right now. Now you
have to encourage her to take a nice bubble bath
for more reasons than one, because she y'all walking with

(01:02:01):
them ladies, see friction?

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Are you free now here? We are? We need to
get in this water.

Speaker 7 (01:02:13):
Then, he says, I suggest she wear a baseball cap
on her head instead of that hassk off that she
wear the bed every night. And hold on, Hold up now,
now this scarf is doing double duty. We all know
about that scarf. It's y'all's favorite. It's the one you
won't It's a silk scarf, keeps your hand place and

(01:02:37):
keeps it from breaking off.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
But you can't wear it that night and all day too,
and then wrap it in a night This too much
back in the day when you had the sofa ad
and the glover's main you know, stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:53):
You know it's tied right here, this thing bergamont Ulch
machine pro line.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
You know, it just was just wrong. It was just wrong,
you know, sporting waves all this here.

Speaker 7 (01:03:07):
Now, I ordered her some expensive I ordered her some
exercise clothes so she can stop walking in my big
T shirt and old jogging pants with holes in them.
Because I want her to present herself better than that
when she waving at our neighbors as she walked by.
Because a man's job is to protect and provide. He
protected his image, her image. He provides her with new

(01:03:30):
workout clothes so she can walk by and look more decent.
I have asked her if she realizes that her nails
have grown out and they need to be redone. She
told me they find since she don't have plans to
go anywhere, Sureley said, And then she said same with
the toeenails. Because she stopped trimming herself. Shirley said, she's lazy.

(01:03:53):
This is not lazy. This is trifling. There's a different,
it's between lazy and trifling. Then she said, maybe we
ought to take out on date night.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Anybody taking her?

Speaker 7 (01:04:11):
No, damn well, you got these claws on your hands
and feet, you looking like an ego snatching a fish
up out of lake.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
And now you think I'm finna get you dressed up
and we going somewhere. We ain't gonna know where. I'm
gonna tell you what's really wrong. Maybe I'm being too hard.

Speaker 7 (01:04:31):
On her, but I want her to be my cute,
sexy wife at all times, and I have to keep
reminding her to do certain things to maintain herself as
a problem, Why do I have to tell her to bathe?
Am I wrong for how I feel? Please help? No,
you're not wrong for how you feel. Everybody want the
girl to be fresh. Most men's wives are cleaner than them.

(01:04:54):
Most women that I've seen and met, they really in
the up take, care of their business. Women for the
most part, man, they know how to put it on.
I very rarely see women that ain't trying to do right.
I just don't yours.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
Then gave up.

Speaker 7 (01:05:13):
To say ladyness just trifling, and she being a little
bit trifling right now. But I'm gonna tell you what
the real reason is. Shirley says she's stuck. She's not stuck.
She has taken him and the marriage for granted. And

(01:05:34):
that is what I talk to women about all the time.
The thing that hurts a man most of all is
when we get taken for granted and we are not appreciated. Now,
if you got a man that's out here working, you
got a man buying you new exercise coach. You got
a man in here wanting you to take a bath,
reminding you to clip your toenails, to clip your This

(01:05:56):
man is doing all he can. But you are sitting
up there thinking, you my husband, you ain't going nowhere.
So now you've taken your marriage and your man for granted.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Come on here.

Speaker 7 (01:06:12):
And so now once you take us for granted and
you stop showing appreciation, you stop fixing up the package,
Well I got news for you, oh, I'm gonna tell
you right now, he looking around. He ain't just wrote
this letter because he trying to stop the wandering eyes
he got. Because he looking round, he's seeing what put
together look like. Y'all got ig, sir? Just hit that

(01:06:35):
little circle that say search Lord Hemberson. That's what he's seeing,
all right, And that's what your comments.

Yahya. There you go, Shirley, thank you. Coming up at
the top of the hour, a man on social media
needs some advice, Steve. He says, my daughter is getting
bad dating advice from her cousin. We'll talk about it
right after this. You're listening, Harvey Morning show. All right,
so this is from Dwayne on Steve Harvey FM. Dwayne says,

(01:10:31):
I overheard my daughter and her cousin discussing dating, and
I was disturbed about the advice that was being given. Apparently,
my daughter, who was in her first year of college,
was given off bougie and exclusionary behavior. Her cousin said
that instead she should be open to going out with anyone,
because hey, at least it's a free meal, right. I

(01:10:52):
don't know which is worse, being viewed as a bougie
snob or being encouraged to just go out with anyone
for anything. I know, I wasn't supposed to eavesdrop, but
it's hard to bite my tongue on this one. Should
I say something or should I let it go?

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:11:06):
Yeah, you should definitely say something, because see what we've
got to stop and keep presenting to our young girls
is it's not buogy of being a snob. It's called standards,
and it's okay to have some See what they do now,
is they got it where young girls can't even have standards.
If you got standards, then all of a sudden, you bullgey,

(01:11:28):
you snop me girl. This is a free meal. I
don't need no damn free food. My daddy feeds me
at the house. Ladies, you don't need free food. If
it didn't got that bad for you, you need to
get into a shelter or something.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
You going out just cause it's some free food.

Speaker 7 (01:11:44):
I'm gonna go out to a meal with somebody that
ain't no good, that wants to use me for one purpose,
so I can find a way to get this free
food and then avoid him. Man, miss me, Man, have
a talk with your young sister, because she will get
an idea of what love is from you more so
than what's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
All right, all right, we have a Leonard on Facebook.
We do have time for another one, he says. We
all know. Mother's Day was this past Sunday, and I
laid it out for my wife, Tommy and Junior. She
is an amazing mother to our kids. I really put
some thought into her gift and she loved it. That

(01:12:23):
being said, now Father's Day is coming in June, and
I started to feel a bit played over the last
couple of years. That's because she'll ask me what I
would like and I tell her, but I still always
end up getting a gift card at low's or home depot,
which essentially tells me, I love you, Now get to
work on the house. Is it wrong for me to

(01:12:45):
have growing feelings of bitterness about this? How should I
handle this?

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:12:50):

Harvey Morning Show. A San Francisco, California woman has been
convicted of stealing over sixty thousand dollars in merchandise from
the same Target store dozens of times by using the

(01:15:26):
self checkout lanes. During the investigation, authorities followed and surveilled
the suspect after leading Target with the unmade merchandise and
observed her selling the stolen goods to anyone passing by.
A trial by jury took place, and the woman was
convicted of one felony count of grand theft and violation
and fifty two misdemeanor counts of petty theft from target.

(01:15:50):
She could be sentenced to three years in state prison. Wow,

(01:20:23):
Morning Show. All right, guys, here we are last break
of the day on this Tuesday, and Steve, before we
get out of here, we did have another call. This
one's from MD. Take a listen.

Speaker 17 (01:20:35):
My name is MD. I'm calling about the guy we
talk about not to vote. You were all right, and
you were being polite, says Ignorant. For me, he's stupid,
playing stupid man, because I come here as a foreigner.
And when I came here, I went back to school
and I study modern history, rural history and nineteen history,

(01:20:57):
and that's when I know about Malcolm X Martin, King,
Luther Juner, and also Rosa Park and the history behind it.

Speaker 8 (01:21:05):
Man.

Speaker 17 (01:21:06):
And in ninety nine I get my citizenship and I
start to vote from ever since man, voting, we have
to vote.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
I went to the.

Speaker 17 (01:21:16):
Barber shop and I speak history, and these guys were
looking at my life. Wait the hell, I say, get
all these stuff from? And I said, man, you guys
don't study history in high school. They'll be like no,
I said, man, God, you guys missing out man, But
love your show, Love the crew. Big up June on
his point, Man, I like that. I'm from Jamaica, so
you know it is. I know you guys talk about

(01:21:38):
a stale all the time. Keep it up, man, you
guys good.

Speaker 7 (01:21:42):
Yeah, you know man, indeed, you know what he said
is so important, which leads to my closing remarks. You know,
I've hated that this election has come because this election
is the most decisive, divisive, divisive that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
We've had ever.

Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Every time Trump runs, it becomes divisive. You know, We've
always had Republican presidents. We've had Nixon in my lifetime,
We've had you know, the Bushes in my lifetime. You know,
we've had Reagan in my lifetime. I've really really never

(01:22:20):
really had a problem with them. You know, some of
their policies were different, But I understand that it's gonna
be some differences, but never before in my lifetime have
I seen this, the types of people that come out
the woodwork for Donald Trump, the people that he draw
out from the shadows in this country. I'm really grateful

(01:22:43):
to Donald Trump because he has exposed the underbelly of America,
the one that slithers on the ground, that stays covered
under the bushes and the grasses that's down there making
all the snake bites and secret covert attacks. He's bought
them all out. They front and centernine, and they try

(01:23:03):
to come up with stuff. Every time somebody come up.
They don't want to run. Here come the Tea Party,
Here come Qanone, Here come all these groups. All these
groups raise up. The militia shows up, the Proud Boys
shows up, the Skinhead shows up, the National Party shows up.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
They just the Southern Evangelicals show up.

Speaker 7 (01:23:25):
And that was a little bit more surprising to me
that I found out that this religious organization was really
not religious at all, but political, That Southern Evangelicals were
created to support slavery. See when I went to the
slave castles in the outside of Ghana, which one of
the most revealing moments, and I saw the dungeons in

(01:23:49):
which they kept the slaves in for weeks before they
put them on the ship. And each doorway that led
to the following room, like they moved you from room
to room, each doorway was a little bit more narrower
than the other one, and they kept you in there
until you lost enough weight, until you could go through
a certain doorway. And if you couldn't fit through the doorway,

(01:24:09):
then they kept you in this room until you lost
enough weight. That way they knew how many people they
could pack on the slave ship.

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
I saw this. But in those dungeons there was a
hole in the roof, and the hole in the roof
was right under the church.

Speaker 7 (01:24:25):
Because they wanted to inundate the so called savages, the
so called slaves, the so called Africans. They wanted to
indicate them with their religion, and they were using Christianity.
They were using Christianity to justify slavery. That's crazy. See

(01:24:48):
Christianity is not a white religion in case that's That's
not what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
But what this group of.

Speaker 7 (01:24:53):
Whites did in this country was they tried to make
it a reason to just slavery.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
So when slavery came to America.

Speaker 7 (01:25:03):
Later on, when they were talking about fighting the Civil War,
here came the Southern Evangelicals. They came to support slavery
and their Christian organization and they exist today. So see,
when you talking about not voting, are you serious? Do
you understand what they're doing with this make America Great
Again campaign? Tommy just sent me something where Lawrence Taylor,

(01:25:26):
one of the greatest, if not the greatest, football player
to ever play in the NFL. I've never seen a
guy play the position of linebacker like Lawrence Taylor from
the outside. Now, ray Lewis who another dude, but this boy,
Lawrence Taylor. Yeah, and he's now a Trump supporter. And

(01:25:46):
he was saying that he was never a Democrat. He's
been a Democrat his whole life, never been a Republican.
And now after meeting this man, he'll never vote Democrat again.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Why? Why?

Speaker 7 (01:25:58):
And you know what's crazy to me, he is they
go find all these black people. It's a good thing
that Lawrence Taylor's one of the greatest football players. Other
than that, irrelevant, Irrelevant could give less than a damn
who Lawrence Taylor vote for. But to stand up and
take your what little star power you do have and
then give it to this man. Why why would you

(01:26:20):
vote for Trump? Why would you never vote Democrat again
after you met this man? What did Donald Trump say
to you that was so convincing that he's right for
black people? When all mega stands for is make America
great again. When making America great again, they're talking about
taking it back to a time where it was never
good for black people.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
It ain't that good for us now, but let's get
it back there.

Speaker 7 (01:26:43):
So now let's change the high school names back to
all these Confederate generals, and let's get rid of black history. Adam,
make America great again, y'all stupid, We got to vote, man.
And if you send up here thinking that Trump's is
for black you might be black for Trump, but Trump
ain't for you, no black ass.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
You need to understand that. Okay, bye, y'all have a
great thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
