Speaker 7 (02:08):
One and only Steve Harvein got a radio show, keep
saying it can't stop. Man, oh man, oh man, what
a journey it has been. I thank God for every
single step of the way. I learned to thank him
for the bad times too, because it taught me something.
All the bad times, all the failures, they became valuable
experiences in my life. Every time I failed, I learned

(02:31):
a little bit more about getting up. Every time I
was told no, it moved me one step closer to yes.
It made me stronger, It toughened my skin. It made
me learn how to deal with haters. It made me
learn how to deal with people who don't have your
best interest at heart. Man, ain't y'all all out there
feeling me on this one right here. It teaches you

(02:52):
who is who in your life. It shows you who
you can depend on and who you came. And at
the end of the day, what has taught me most
of all my hardships in my life?

Speaker 8 (03:02):
And it's really about me and God.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
That is the one factor that has been never changed
in my life. God has always been the same for
me and for you and for all of us. His
word is true. It don't waiver, it don't shake. You
can shape it. Readjust it if you want to. It
is really the way it's written. It really is. You

(03:26):
have your version of it if you want to. But
if you just read it the way it is, it's
real clear. Ain't no loopholes in it. Every time you
jump through a loophole, there's something over there written that
counters that. So is what I want to get to today.
Listen to me. You got it within you? Oh it's there,

(03:47):
Just use it. Listen to me close. You got it
within you, Oh it's there, Just use it. If you
hear me clearly, I'm really finn to show you something
this morning. Got it within you?

Speaker 8 (04:01):
Oh it's that.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Just use it. Steve, what you're talking about see, here's
what's wrong with a lot of people. Here's what's stopping
so many people. You keep looking. We keep looking for
others to save us.

Speaker 8 (04:18):
We keep looking.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
For someone else to rescue us. We always looking for
some group of people or somebody to accept us. We
keep looking for someone else's approval. We always looking for
some group or somebody to deliver us, somebody, some group
of people to give us credibility, somebody or some group

(04:44):
of people who says we matter. We spend so much
time right there, and when the cavalry don't come over
the hill, when it ain't no saving, it ain't no deliverance,
And hey, you don't get accepted, and don't nobody really
come to save you, and there't nobody vouching for you
and giving you credibility and throw you into something? Nah,

(05:06):
you into this little state of man. I don't know
what I'm gonna do. Oh you got it within you,
Oh it's there, Just use it. You want to know
what the real deal is, y'all? It's you and God,
and it's the God in you. Man. I wish I
could explain this right to you today. I want you

(05:27):
to fill me on this right here and when you
shake everything out the way, get rid of all your
expectations of people. The relationship you thought was gonna last
forever that didn't make it, the child that you wanted
to be, this that turned out to be that, your
friend you thought was your friend, that stabbed you.

Speaker 8 (05:43):
In the back. You found out they wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
The job you thought was gonna keep you and you
retire on they didn't, closed down, gave you a pink slip.
All of this. Man that promised that somebody told you
they was gonna loan you this money, and on loan
day they say they ain't got it. Oh man, oh man, man,
this money you thought was gonna come through on this check,
The check ain't there? Oh man? How many disappointments in

(06:07):
life can you get? You thought you had enough credit
hours to graduate. You found out two weeks before you didn't.
You can't graduate. Oh listen here, man, what's gonna helpen?

Speaker 8 (06:15):
Man?

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Look at the disappointment in my life right now. But
let me explain something to you. When you get rid
of all of that, guess what you really got. You
got God, that's the whole enchilada. Baby, that's the ball
of wax. That's the monkeys in the barrel, that's the
bag of chips.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
Listen to me.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
If you got God, do you understand that that's sufficient?
That that say all you need? Can you feel me?

Speaker 8 (06:40):
Now?

Speaker 7 (06:41):
You and God and the God in you, it's really
what you need. Stop looking for all these outside sources
for approval, to gain acceptance, to get credibility, somebody to
save you, the calvary coming over the hill. Why won't
they recognize me? Why won't they give me closure? Why
they fire me? Why they forek closing on my house?

(07:04):
Don't they know I'm laid off. When you get through it,
all of that whining, it's gonna come down to you
and God and the God in you. If God created
man in his own image, God is a part of you,
that is a piece of you that's godly. I don't
care who you are. I don't care what mistake you made.

(07:26):
The murderer that's sitting in jail today because of a
moment in his life that he's now paying for, has
God in him. The biggest criminal. When he gets through
criminalizing or whatever you want to call it, he's sitting
there by his self. That is a piece of God
in him that lets him know this ain't the way.

(07:47):
It's wrong. You can love his money if you want
to put you out of line, and you gonna pay.

Speaker 8 (07:52):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
When I get through on this microphone, on this TV,
all these articles, when I get through it all of that,
you know what it comes down to.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Because see, it ain't always been this way for me.
You know, I've been trying to get here, trying to
get that. Listen to me.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
It's been me and God and it's been to God
in me. When I woke up a few years back
and I realized that's really what it was, it changed
my whole life.

Speaker 8 (08:18):
It changed my whole life.

Speaker 7 (08:20):
Your whole life can get changed when you realize that
it's really you and God and the God in you,
really man. People disappoint you. You argue with people, You
fall out with people, you break up with people, you
divorce people. You got people who you thought was friez.
All of a sudden you find out they talking about
it's crazy out of here. You be going, what's going on?
What's really going on? But that's cause guess what you

(08:43):
got all yours banked on them? When you going to
bank it on the one thing that you can count
on God's word ain't changed since we got here.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
It's solid.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
If you pray, believe, work hard, don't doubt you'll get
whatever you ask for. That's a fact that ain't no rumor.
Speakle out here doing it every day. Now, if you
ain't trying that, listen to me. You got it within you.
Oh it's there. You just gotta use it. There is
a weapon available to man called prayer. Use that.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
See.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
I look at my life, man, whenever I get a
little shaky, I look back. Oh hey man, I ain't
really talking with him too much yesterday. Oh, tighten up.
I'm just telling you real. You got a better answer.
Oh oh oh I know what. Oh my bad, Steve. Now, Steve,
I ain't winning costs. They ain't get me the loan
all now, Steve, I ain't winning costs.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
She left me. He left me.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
I ain't winning, Steve, because I got stuck with these kids.
I got a divorce. They fired me. They foreclothes on
my own. That's why I ain't winning. You ain't winning
because you ain't praying. You got to pray and believe
in work. That's the key. Come on, man, you got
it within you. Oh it's there. You just got to
use it. It's just you and God, and it's to

(09:54):
God in you. And what y'all gonna do about that?

Man, you don't want to keep paying for that?

Speaker 8 (22:38):
Well, you know, if you don't, well, okay, then we come.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
On, come on outside, come on, walk over.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
You know it's all right over here.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
But Steve, you have to say, though, when you first
went bald, you weren't sure about the shape of your head, right,
you were real happy once you shaved it up. I
remember that morning you called, all.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
Yeah, you were cool with it. Yeah, but like, here's
the deal though, Now you don't even have to do that.
You can get a computer rendering of your head. Oh yeah,
they got that. Now they take a picture, they give
you a computer rendering of it. You can see what
you would look like with no hair.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Okay, all right, yes, yeah they got that.

Speaker 8 (23:18):
Now they got everything.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
You got options, Yeah, you got but now he already no,
he got a big head. He's yeah, so he just
got to come on.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, thank you, don't be all right, Yes, already has
a girlfriend. All right, we're moving on. Caylin and Saint
Louis says. I'm thirty three, and I have four older
brothers that think they can control me. I've always been
attracted to older guys, so I've secretly dated guys that
my brothers know. For the past few months, I've been
dating my second to the oldest brother's best friend, and

(23:53):
he's keeping me a secret. Now I'm trying to figure
out if he's using my brother as an excuse to
keep our relationship on the low, or if he's got
something else going on. I'm old enough to do what
I want. So what's the worst that can happen If
I tell my brother.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
His brother gonna beat his friend's hand.

Speaker 8 (24:14):
That's what the deal is.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
That's what the deal is, because brothers, men have a
man cold law. Don't do my little sister dog, don't
come over here with your mess. And then your older
brother knows him really, really well, so now he know
where the skeletons is buried.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
You know, he know all the other.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Chicks and how recent these other chicks were and any
other thing. So that's what he worried about. But you
can talk to him about it and say, hey, man,
you're gonna go sit with my brothers and explain to
him that we love each other.

Speaker 8 (24:57):
But I don't hear love in him. Y'all just seeing
each other.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Just keep there dating. They're just dating right now.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
And you have to keep asking yourself to all these
older men that you keep dating. They want to keep
you a secret, and you want to keep them a secret.
Why is it such a big secret?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, all right, Miriam and San Diego. My husband and
I are in our early sixties, and my husband likes
takes our four year old grandson to soccer three days
a week. After practice the other day, my grandson asked
if Joshua and Miss Kelsey could come over. He said,
Joshua is his friend and Miss Kelsey is his granddad's friend.

(25:33):
Ask if Joshua played soccer like him, and he said no,
Joshua plays karate. He said that Joshua comes to soccer
practice and they get pizza afterwards. Do I need to
find out who Miss Kelsey is? Or do I ignore this
four year old?

Speaker 8 (25:49):
So you're gonna break up your family over folio?

Speaker 9 (25:52):
May? Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Wow, that's much. That's a man answer right there. See,
because I'm a man, answer this kiss.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
So you go sit up here unless some four yo
old would imaginary freeing names all a bit of what
we got.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh that's the lie.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
You got to be kidding me. Don't talk to me
no more like that. And I'm not taking this boy
to soccer practice no more.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, well, if if you do, I'm going with you.
How about that, I'll take them the soccer pressure. Don't
meet missus Kelsey?

Speaker 5 (26:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Moving on? Your men stick together, don't you here? We
go Ye, Foxy, and Toledo says. I am a thirty
eight year old single woman and I need to get things.
Something's off my chest down at my job. I'm almost
six feet tall and I sit in a cubicle all

(26:57):
day trying to be a happy camper. But every hour
I need to relieve myself, stretch my legs and have
a cigarette. I sit across from Darren, the male Karen,
and he has always got something to say about the
time I spend away from my little desk. He said,
I smell like a smokestack and my music is too loud.
If I catch Darren out away from work, can I

(27:18):
curse him out?

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Yes? Yes, As a matter of fact, Listen to me,
there's a way you can do it at work.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
I've done it before, which is.

Speaker 7 (27:28):
Probably one of the reasons I don't have no jobs.
Listen to me, lean over in Darren's ear when ain't
nobody looking, lick your lips and put your lips up
against his ear, because he gonna think it's about something else.
As soon as you put your wet lips up against
his ear, say, if you keep blanking with me. I

(27:55):
almost slapped the sugar honey Ice temped your face.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Thank you, Celo. You're listening hard Morning show. All right, Steve,

is because if I'm sitting next to you and I
just put the twiny.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
Here it is Strawberry letter.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Thank you the nephew subject. My wife keeps leaving me
and coming back. She keeps leaving me and coming back.
To Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty five year old man
with two kids and a step daughter by my wife.
I love my family, but I have come to a
breaking point with my wife. For the second time in

(52:41):
four years, she has left the home and cut off
all contact with me and the kids. The first time
she left, she ran off with a man that she
met online. She bought a bus ticket and wrote, rode
out west and didn't contact us for a month. Eventually,
the guy dumped her and she reached out to me.
I ended up sending her four hundred dollars for her

(53:02):
to get back home. Earlier this summer, I was grilling
and the kids were in the pool. My wife said
she had to run to Walmart to get a few things.
We have not seen her since then. The kids and
I rode all around town looking for her that night
and the next day. I kind of figured she'd left
us again, but I didn't want to upset the kids.

(53:24):
I filed a missing person's report with the police, and
the police told me since she'd left before, they wouldn't
open an investigation right away. I posted pictures on Facebook,
and instantly I got all kinds of messages saying that
she'd been seen around our city and a few cities
close by. I wasn't surprised, and I waited for her

(53:45):
to call home. After forty five days, she called, saying
she needs to come back home and she is ashamed
of what she keeps doing to the family. I told
the kids she called and is ready to come home.
They said I shouldn't let her come back, and we'd
be just fine without her. We've been married fourteen years,

(54:06):
and I've kept the marriage together for the kids. But
now they're saying to throw her and the whole marriage away.
Do you think I should take their advice or give
my wife one more chance? Please advise? Well, I mean,
you know, the decision, of course, is ultimately up to you.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
What you do.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Should you take the kid's advice or give your wife
one more chance? Is that what you want to do? Well,
it's certainly not what the kids want you to do,
because they're sick of her, they really are, and they
let you know so you can let yourself off the hook.
They want you to stop feeling guilty about all this.
Your wife leaving and coming back and running off with

(54:46):
some man she met online, and you know, just not
hearing from her, no contact for forty days and a
month forty five days. What is all of this? And
then you have two kids, and one of them is
her daughter. She's sick of her mom too. They want
a divorce from her, and really, so should you at
this point. Your wife doesn't care about you, she doesn't

(55:08):
care about the kids. And your kids, I don't know
how old they are. You said they were in the
pool while you were grilling, but I mean they're cool
just with being with you, dad. I just say, I'm
saying sorry here, but your wife is trifling and she's
a horrible mom. I mean, is she on drugs or something?
What is going on with her? Who just walks out

(55:30):
on her family and comes back like nothing ever happened.
I'm sure this is devastating for your children, I'm sure
it is. Who does this? Why should they have to
continue to go through this time and time again? They
can't be secure, they can't, you know, they're unsure of themselves.
And why should you have to continually go through this?

(55:52):
Who can live like this. I just you know, you
never know from one day to the next if you'll
have a mom or if you're a wife or not.
I say, pack her bags, put yourself and your kids
out of this revolving door of a marriage, and tell
your wife that you and the guys will be just
fine without her. She's selfish and that's what the kids

(56:12):
want you to do anyway, But unless you really want
to do it, and I don't see why you wouldn't,
I don't know, don't let her back. Okay, she's a
source of misery for you, guys.

Speaker 8 (56:24):
Steve, Well, let me start by saying this to you.

Speaker 7 (56:31):
It ain't a good look when your kids is smarter
than you, right, you know, it just ain't a good look.
Let me just start there. Okay, all right, here we go.
You a thirty five year old man, got two kids
and a stepdaughter. I love my family, but you had

(56:56):
a break in point. For the second time in four years,
she'd have left home, cut off all contact with me
and the kids. The first time she first time she left,
she ran off with a man she met online. She
bought a bus ticket and rolled out west. What a

(57:18):
trifling this badass decision. Who buys a bus ticket to
ride out west? You know, like she in a Western
or something. Go west, young man, fortune out there. And
she left you for a dude that sent her a

(57:40):
bus ticket, from a man that has a house with
a swimming pool in it in the backyard, grilling.

Speaker 8 (57:50):
She left you for a man that sent her a
bus ticket.

Speaker 7 (57:58):
Your wife is not a bright person. The kids are,
the wife is not. So let's try to make some
sense of it. And she bought a bus ticket rode out.
She didn't contact us for a month. Damn man, that's

(58:18):
hard it's hartful. Eventually the god dumped her. She reached
out to me. I ended up spending four hundred dollars
for her to get back home.

Speaker 8 (58:27):
Now you obviously bought a plane ticket.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Hold on, We'll hold on, Steve, hold that up, God,
just hold it, hold it. We'll have part two of
Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour.
Today's subject my wife keeps leaving me and coming back.
We'll get into it right after this. You're listening Hardy
Morning show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's

(58:51):
Strawberry letter. The subject my wife keeps leaving me and
coming back.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
Yeah, yeah, she been doing it. Second time in four years.
She done left. The first time she left with a
man she met online. She bought a bus ticket and
rolled out west. I knew this relationship was doomed. You

(59:20):
meet a dude online, he's buy you a bus ticket,
all right? Eventually got dumptor. You ended up sending four
hundred dollars for her way to get back home. Yost
it that bought the airline ticket. Clearly you care more
about her than the dude online. Now hit a good

(59:42):
one right here. Earlier this summer, I was grilly, kids
was outside in the pool. My wife said she had
to run to Walmart to get a few things. We
ain't seen her.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Ass s horrible?

Speaker 7 (59:59):
What did she What happened at the walmart? This is bad?
The kids and I rode around town looking for her
that night and the next day what.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
And the next day.

Speaker 7 (01:00:20):
Then the dude said, because he got tuition, I kind
of figured she left us again. I ain't want to
upset the kids, so I filed a missing person report.
Police told me, since she left before, they wouldn't open
then investigation right away. Then you put some pictures on Facebook,
and everybody started calling you telling you I saw that
helper doll, that Earl Turner's right, Well, I saw up

(01:00:44):
at Abigail's. She was at the Speak Easy Too, that
she came into tab on Friday. They just saw her everywhere. Yeah,
you know, she old bro that go do country stuff.
You know this ain't no big city chick.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Oh okay, because of the bus.

Speaker 7 (01:01:01):
So I wasn't surprised. And I waited for her to
call home after forty fat days so crazy. This help
of call back home says she's ashamed of what she
keeps doing to the family. Shirley says something right. Is
she on drugs because this guy crackhead rolled all over it? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:01:25):
Yeah, matter of fact, let me let me let me,
let me let me back it down a little bit.

Speaker 7 (01:01:31):
Is she on meth? Let me tell you what when
you see her look at her teeth real good? Why
because if you won't, matthe your teeth is shot. Oh
you ain't see the Tiger king?

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Yeah I saw, yeah his man.

Speaker 7 (01:01:49):
Did you see his mouth?

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:01:56):
I don't care what your sexual preference is. You they
want somebody with some better looking.

Speaker 8 (01:02:01):
Teeth than that. Damn, you got to have your mouth right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
You have to, you have to.

Speaker 8 (01:02:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:02:13):
Now I told the kids she called and ready to
come home. The kids said, don't let her come back.
We just fine without it. You know, you messed up
when your kids don't want their mama.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
No more, your blood daughter, your blood daughter.

Speaker 7 (01:02:28):
We've been married fourteen years, and I've kept the marriage
together for the kids. Now this is interesting because now
they're saying to throw her in the whole marriage away.
So if she had a stepdaughter, the stepdaughter got to
be at least fifteen, because y'all only been together for
fourteen years. Unless she had the baby while she was

(01:02:49):
on the bus.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Trip, she could have.

Speaker 7 (01:02:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Crazy right here she is.

Speaker 7 (01:03:00):
Do you think I should take their advice or give
my wife one more chance? Let me ask you something, bro,
give your wife one more chance to.

Speaker 8 (01:03:07):
Do what to leave a third time?

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:03:11):
Please advise, brother. I don't even know why you struggling
with her. This is not a sign of a person
that's no longer any in love with you or her family.
She loves something else.

Speaker 9 (01:03:22):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:03:22):
I ain't saying she owned drugs. It do sound like
drugs to me because she go on these benches. I
don't know what's wrong with her, but if the kids
deserve better, you seem like a good man, you probably
get you a good woman.

Speaker 9 (01:03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:03:38):
Me personally, I'm just this just Steve Harvey talker.

Speaker 7 (01:03:42):
Please don't tweet and facebook me about my responses because
you know I don't really care no more. I really don't.
I done got sixty three. I don't got real comfortable
with what I'm saying on this show. I divorce, Yeah, yeah,
I'm divorcing her.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Thinking has real choice.

Speaker 8 (01:04:03):
I'm divorcing her. I'm not living like this is clear.
You don't want me and these kids.

Speaker 7 (01:04:08):
I don't want to see sending the kids through it,
and I want somebody to agree with me and the
kids and be in the pool.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
You could leave your husband and your kids.

Speaker 7 (01:04:17):
You will leave me or somebody that bought a bus ticket. Yeah,
that's what I'm throwd off that I could see if
you came up. You didn't even go lateral. You just
took a step down. You rode a bus out west.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
We don't even know where that is. I mean y
out west, just west.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):

Speaker 7 (01:07:38):
We're talking about Malcolm.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
Malcolm, Yeah, Malcolm, my daddy.

Speaker 7 (01:07:48):
I got one for you. The police in here?

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
What what did you say?

Speaker 7 (01:07:56):
The police in here? Which one? Ignorant?

Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Ignorant show boy?

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
All right, thank you, nephew. I think we get the point.
You're listening, Harvey Morning Show. Here's a question for you, guys.
Is your partner your best friend? Were you friends before
you came romantic? You know it seems, despite the popularity

(01:08:32):
of dating apps, most relationships start the old fashioned way.
That's right, Most of them do with people who are
friends first. In fact, researchers have found that sixty six
sixty six percent of people were platonic friends with their
partner before starting a romantic relationship. So, Steve, I gotta

(01:08:53):
go to you. Do you believe there are benefits to
being friends with someone before you date them?

Speaker 7 (01:09:00):
I mean, it is, It's not necessary, but it is,
But it's not necessary. And a lot of relationships start
the other way first, they get physical before they're good friends. Yeah,
and I'm right right now, I'm married to my best

(01:09:23):
friend because I ain't got nothing. You ain't got no what.

Speaker 8 (01:09:28):
I ain't got no real friends.

Speaker 9 (01:09:30):
Though you know I ain't.

Speaker 7 (01:09:32):
I don't really have no dudes I share everything with.

Speaker 8 (01:09:36):
I just don't. I've grown out of that space.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
I want to ask you this because this always puzzled me.
What about people who are friends? They're really, really good friends.
We have a lot of strawberry letters about this. They're
really good friends, and then they try to be romantic
and it doesn't work out and the friendship gets all
weird after that. Thanks you know.

Speaker 7 (01:09:57):
Look, look, look, look, look I said one hundred time,
so I'm not gonna stop saying if a man is
attracted to you, it's hard for him to stay your friend.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Right, we said that all about.

Speaker 7 (01:10:09):
I don't know how, I don't and I don't know
why we keep debating this thing. If a man is
attracted to you, it's gonna be really hard for him
to stay your friend.

Speaker 8 (01:10:20):
It's really hard. So let's just notice.

Speaker 7 (01:10:25):
If you know that you're attractive to this guy, and
y'all just friends, it's just until you see a crack
in the door.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Yeah, a physical friends friend? What a physical like a
friend with benefits about.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
We're gonna be physical, but we're gonna be friends.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
That's not a physical friend. That's a kind of relations
that's a friends with benefit type.

Speaker 8 (01:10:53):
That's a sexual relationship.

Speaker 7 (01:10:55):
Call it what you want to call it. It's a
sexual relationship and eventually feelings on one one of the
parts it's gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Get in there, usually the woman, Usually the woman exactly. Yeah,
that's what I love you in love?

Speaker 7 (01:11:10):
Man't nobody sign up for love. It's sposed to be
just a nice physical says the host. Are ready to love.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Radio Tommy and Stevie, Tommy, I got you, I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
You ain't all the way crazy, Tommy.

Speaker 7 (01:11:36):
Far from it, Steve.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
It is still your contention that men and women it's
hard for them to be friends without being physical.

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
That is that what you're saying if the man is
attracted to you, I've never seen what?

Speaker 9 (01:11:53):
How?

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
What that's that?

Speaker 17 (01:11:56):
So then the question is what we just brought up,
Shirley with this with the segment to be friends? Can
you first and then date? And you're saying that if
you are friends and that man is a try the woman.
But you said what we're trying to say, if you're
gonna be friends first and then you're gonna date, how

(01:12:18):
does that work if you say men and women can't
be friends.

Speaker 7 (01:12:21):
If a man is attracted to you, eventually, when there's
a crack in the door, he's going to annoy if
he can put his foot into the door.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Yeah, and be more than friends.

Speaker 7 (01:12:31):
With these relationships that turn start out that way, you
can turn out and blossom into wonderful and beautiful relationships.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
It can happen then sometimes.

Speaker 7 (01:12:44):
And that's a great way for it to start because
you started as friend. It's a great thing to happen.
Now here's a sad part attracted to you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Yea, we got to go, Steve, hold on, we gotta go.
All right, we'll be back with more of this Steve
Harvey Morning Show at twenty minutes after right after this.
You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, we're back, Steve.
Let's try to clear this up once and for all
if we can, because there's so much debate about this.
Can men and women be friends? And once they cross

(01:13:18):
that physical line, can they still be friends? Because sometimes
that gets weird. So so let's let's try to clear
this up because it is a debate, ongoing debate between
men and women. All the time. You say what.

Speaker 7 (01:13:33):
Man did you.

Speaker 8 (01:13:38):
Then?

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
And every time this way I'll be telling them you
say the same you say it.

Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
Men and women can be friends only if the man
does not find the woman attracted or is not attracted
to her for.

Speaker 8 (01:13:56):
Whatever the reason.

Speaker 7 (01:13:57):
If a man finds you, ave and is attracted to
you and is your friend, I want you to understand
that the moment there is a crack in the door,
a chink in the armor, and he see a way
he can fit in and be more than your friend more.
You'll do that, absolutely, he will unequivocally. Now, can you

(01:14:19):
start a friendship that way and it blossom into a relationship? Yes?
And you know why the blossom into a relationship because
he's been attracted to.

Speaker 8 (01:14:26):
You the whole time.

Speaker 7 (01:14:29):
Period.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:30):
Now here's the sad part that.

Speaker 8 (01:14:32):
You don't want to hear.

Speaker 7 (01:14:33):
Okay, if the man is not attracted to you or
find you unattracted, you can be his friend.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Okay, all right, we'll be debating this for centuries to come.
All Right, more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
Coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour, we'll
have some closing remarks from Steve Harvey, and it's our
last break of the day. Right after this, you're listening
Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
All right, Steve, here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
We are our last break of the day. It's been
a good Thursday, unt. It's been an ignorant Thursday.

Speaker 8 (01:18:29):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
You made good on your promise.

Speaker 7 (01:18:31):
Yeah, I told you what I was gonna dos.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Yes you did.

Speaker 7 (01:18:35):
It's been a good Thursday though.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
Good to be back in all of that, and time
for you to get us out of here with some
closing remarks and inspiring words like you always do.

Speaker 7 (01:18:45):
I want to encourage people, but I got to tell
you the truth about it. You know, it's sort of all.
I've decided to go forward with the truth as I've
learned it, and I've decided to ignore naysayers and people
who don't want to hear the factual part of how

(01:19:09):
difficult success is. But if you explain it to people
and they understand that you've gone through the hardships of
trying to become successful yourself, when they face hardships, I
think they can see it better for themselves. And Dion
Sanders told me one time. He says, Steve, stop throwing

(01:19:29):
the life raft to people swimming away from the boat.
He said, just throw your life raft to them people
that want to be saved. So and that's saved in
just a and an analytical sense or an analogy that
he was using in terms of people who want to
be motivated or encouraged or given the tools for success.

(01:19:53):
So in light of that, here's something else I want
to remind people love because people don't like to hear
about the uncomfortable side of it. You know, they want
to just go. You know, I want to sleep long
as I want. You got to get this much sleeping. Okay, Fine, Fine, fine.
I had to come to that resolution after speaking the
truth about sleep as I know it. As I know it,

(01:20:17):
I can't tell you anything I don't know. I don't
know how to be successful sleeping a third of your life.
I don't know anyone that made it to success sleeping
a third of their life. I just don't know anybody. Now,
if you're wealthy, you can sleep eight hours, but if

(01:20:37):
you're trying to get there, I just don't know anybody
that's done it that way. And that's all I was
trying to speak about. So what I'm about to share
with you now is another thing. See, and I want
you to understand something about when you see people with
what you considered convenient lives, Convenience is built by inconvenience.

(01:21:02):
It's just the way it is. Convenience is built by inconvenience.
If you want to have a convenient life, you are
going to have to inconvenience yourself on many, many occasions,
and it won't be just some every now and then.

(01:21:23):
In order to have a convenient life, you are going
to have to spend a great deal of your current
life being inconvenient. It's the only way it's done. For
every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. That's a
scientific law, but it's also a spiritual law. If you

(01:21:46):
do good to everybody, good will come to you. If
you do evil to everybody, evil gon't come your way.
So convenience is built through inconvenient. For every action, there's
an equal and opposite reaction. So if you put out evil,

(01:22:08):
the equal and opposite reaction will be the equal is
you gonna get evil to The opposite is is you
won't be putting it out, It'll be coming back to you.

Speaker 8 (01:22:18):
So do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Speaker 7 (01:22:22):
So if you want a life of convenience, it is
built through inconvenience. Another way to look at it is
and what I just had to come to terms with
on my journey to success. And this is not a negative, y'all.
It's okay, because success is very, very hard.

Speaker 9 (01:22:38):
It just is.

Speaker 7 (01:22:39):
Man. I wish I could tell people it's not hard,
but it is. You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
If you're trying to be comfortable, you're going to have
to get okay with being uncomfortable for stretches at a time.

(01:23:02):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry if that doesn't sound right to you.
But if you talk to successful people, they will share
that information with you that you have to be comfortable.
You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable because it's uncomfortable
to become successful. It's inconvenient to become successful, it really

(01:23:25):
really is. But these are things that you have to
be willing to cope with to get the equal and
opposite reaction. The equal part is this inco the opposite
part is this inconvenience will become convenient.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
That's It's just.

Speaker 7 (01:23:46):
That's the way it works.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:23:47):
I wish I could. I don't know if I'm saying
it to you the way I want to deliver a message,
But I'm just trying to get you to understand that
it's okay. But in your moments of uncomfortableness, moments of inconvenience,
you can rest assured that God is with you all

(01:24:08):
the way that God didn't say your life would be easy.
Faith doesn't make it easy. Faith makes it possible. And
all you want to know is that what I'm going
through will create the possibility of me becoming successful, then
I'm willing to go through the necessary pains and gross

(01:24:31):
and everything to become successful. And if you got God
in your life, he can give you the strength, the power,
the will to endure anything. With Christ, all things are possible.
Faith doesn't make it easy. Faith makes it possible. You've

(01:24:54):
got to understand that that's my best.
