Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all know what time. Y'all don't know y'all.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
At all at all.

Speaker 4 (00:10):
So don't given a.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Black the mill busy.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
Listening to.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Show.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
I don't joy ye joy.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
They have.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
You gotta turn, love, you gotta turn.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
You got to turn the mouth, the turn.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
You probably got to turn the mouth, turn out the water,
the water looking me? Come on?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Come on, you think I sure will? Good morning everybody.

Speaker 7 (02:04):
You are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah
I do, man, God is good. Hey today, I just
want to get right to it because this has really
been pressing me. I woke up and this was on
my mind and I wanted to share it with you
because I know this for a fact. See I've lived

(02:28):
this for a fact, and you know the majority of
things I talk about in the morning before we get
started with the regular show.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's something that I've experienced.

Speaker 7 (02:41):
I can only tell you what I know, and so
I've really really understood why God has had my life
go the way that is gone. Because if I didn't
have all these tests in my life, I didn't have
all these tests that I passed all these tests that
I failed. If I didn't have all of those, the

(03:04):
good and the bad, what could I share with you
in the morning? What could I tell you about hanging?
What could I tell you about failing and then winning?
What could I tell you about hanging in now when
all hope was gone? How could I share that with you?

(03:24):
Unless I've had those moments myself. I don't care what
happens to you. I don't care what you're going through.
Don't you dare dare give up? Under no circumstances. Don't
you dare dare ever give up? It is the biggest

(03:49):
trick that the enemy has. It's making us think we
ain't gonna make it, to water down the illusion that
there is a possibility that you might still have a chance.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
To get over.

Speaker 7 (04:08):
The biggest trick he uses is when you make a
mistake and you fall. He gets you to start to
thinking it's final, that there is no resurrection, there is
no redemption, there is no recovery.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
He just makes you think it's final. He is the
master deceiver. Don't you dare dare ever give up?

Speaker 7 (04:31):
I don't care what besets you, befalls you, trips you up,
What circumstantial situations may arise. Don't you dare dare ever
give up? Because listen to me, these are tests that
you are going through. And these tests, whether you pass

(04:51):
the test or it appears that you failed the test,
the test accomplishes the mission if you're smart about it.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
If you pass the test.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
Let's say you're going through a situation and you get
over and it goes the way you want it to do,
then what you've learned is if you hang in there,
there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay, mission accomplished.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
If you fail the test and it doesn't go the
way you want it, and it goes the opposite and
it turns out into a negative result and the response
you were looking for is a no, that's not final.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That doesn't mean it's over. That doesn't mean it's time
to turn back.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
It simply means that now you have learned a valuable experience,
you have learned a valuable lesson.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
You now know what not to do.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
You are now because you know what not to do,
another step close, sir, to getting it right. Listen to me.
It has to happen this way. You have to have
the rain in your life to get the flowers in
your life. You got to have the darkness in your

(06:15):
life to appreciate the sunshine in your life. You got
to have woes and worries to appreciate the joys. It
is merely a test. So when you get through failing,
and you get through stumbling, and you get through messing

(06:36):
it up, all that's getting you one step closer to
getting it right. Oh, my relationship ended. I'll never be
able to find another person like that. Not only will
you not be able well, not only will you be
able to find a person like that, You can find
a person that far better than that if you don't

(07:00):
give up. But see, sometimes you got to go through
the bad ones to get to the good ones. Don't you, dare?
Dare ever give up? I don't care what happens to
you if you.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Lose a loved one.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
And Lord knows, I've lost some people I've loved dearly
with every inch in me. I've lost my mother, my father,
my brother, and my best friend.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
I know people who have lost they children. Goodness, man,
I can't even imagine that, but they kept on going.
What you're giving up for? Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I got you miss them? And I got you grieving,
but I got news for you.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
Don't you let the devil make you think it's over
for you because somebody else ain't still here.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was their time. Now.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
I'm not trying to lessen the blow for you, but
I'm trying to get you up on your feet so
you can stop all this old woe is me because
the things that's happening to you, you're not the first
person that's happened to Come on, now, let's get a grip.
Let's wrap your mind around this thing. You have got
to move forward, if it's just in memory of those people.

(08:15):
I was on one of the commercial breaks the other
day and somebody asked me something and I forgot the question,
but my answer was, I've always wanted my mother and
father to be proud of me, and in their absence
and their demise, I'm hoping just somehow, man that they
watching me, that they see they boy, that I'm down here,

(08:37):
that I'm doing better, that I'm making something out myself,
that I'm loving my wife, that I'm taking care of
my kids. Just want my old man to see that
about me. You don't want my mother to see I'm
trying to get my life together over here. You know
I'm saying I'm trying to be a better person. My
mama was a Sunday school teacher for forty years. She

(08:58):
been praying for me for a long time. I just hope, man,
and that's all I'm doing, is just hoping that they
see me so they can be proud of me.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
See you, you you you you.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
You got to understand that when you make these mistakes,
that when you fall and stumble and you get it
all so wrong, it ain't over for you. Don't you
dare dare dare ever?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Give up?

Speaker 7 (09:23):
Don't stop thinking, man, because it ain't happening just the
way you want it to. That it ain't meant to
be devil. He got so many tricks to deceive you.
You know why you're being tested right now, because there
is no testimony without the test. You got to go
through something. It's all good man telling you. Just wanted

(09:45):
to share that with you. Don't you give up out there.
I don't care what's happening. Don't don't, don't don't get deceived.
The victory's coming, but you ain't gonna get it if
you quit.

through all the peaks and valleys of life.

at the job You actually.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
What floor are you on? VN? I'm all for twelve
floor twelve? All right, So do you use the copy
machine that often on that floor?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Not all the time, but I do use it every
once in a while.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Okay, every once in a while. So here's what's going on.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
There's gonna be some actions being taken place here pretty soon,
some legal actions, and we're just clearing everybody. You know,
this is just a proper procedure that we're having to
go through. So let me just kind of enlighten you
on what's taking place. Someone on the twelfth floor has
copied their butt on a piece of paper in the

(15:15):
copy machine. So someone actually sat up on the Xerox
machine and copied their butt. Why someone would do that,
I have no earthly idea. But what's happening now is
everyone on your floor is going to have to come
in and show their butt. So we're scheduling this now.
I'm thinking Friday at eleven am. Would that be so.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Y y'all talking, y'all talking about your woman to come
up there and show show my show my b because somebody.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
I'm a grown man.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
Okay, I'm a grown man.

I ain't do that.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay, you know what. I believe you.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
I believe you wholeheartedly, Von, But just to clear your name,
we have to, I hate to say it, clear your
butt as well. So we want to make sure we're
gonna find out whose butt.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
This is on a piece of paper, that did this.
We're gonna find out, you're.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Gonna find you're gonna find out who's You're gonna find
out whose cheeks those are, and you're gonna find out
real quickly. In our mind, all right, I'm not doing that, man,
I'm not gonna come in. You said Friday, You're doing
this on.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Friday, EDI Friday at eleven not coming that my day off.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
I'm pulling my past down, but some strangers looking really
look at my look at my cheeks, talking about somebody copied.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I'm not doing that. I don't I don't want to.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
I don't want this to take a turn, Vin, because
right now this is if you're not if you're saying
you're not coming in, then other actions will be taking
place if you don't come in and follow the precedure
that everybody's saying.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Everybody else that I'm calling they have to come in.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
How many how many people work on that floor?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
There's at least eighty plus people on that floor.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
You're talking about trying to have eighty plus people come in,
drive all way work so somet we don't even know
can look at our look at our cheeks, and I'm
not gonna do that. I don't know who did it,
but I know they ain't me.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Well, somebody somebody xeroxs there butt on the twelfth floor,
and we're gonna get to okay, but we're gonna get
to the bottom of who did it and what you're
what you're not gonna do, von is tell me you're
not coming in.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
What you're not gonna do? Do you like your job
here with this company?

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Okay, what you're not gonna do is exactly like you're
gonna fire me because I'm not gonna show y'all my
sweet goodies just because you just because you're from HR
you got me food. If you actually expect me to
think that everybody that work from this floor is over here,
like oh yeah, sure, I'll go with some strangers. Look
at my Look at my crack. You must be playing, no, sir,

(17:47):

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (17:55):
Okay, and Andre says he knows you. Now, I'm just
gonna put it out here. Andre is stating that it
could have possibly been you.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Really, Andre got the nerve to say it could have
been me? Smith, Andre? Why didn't he trying to single
me out? Like I even use that damn copier not
around there playing games. I'm a grown man. He must
be out of his mind thinking he gonna say I
did it.

All I know is he stated that you were a possibility.
That's what That's what he stated.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
He said I was a possibility. That that's dumb. He
ain't have absolutely the reason to think it. I even
used that copier. Man, I use that thing like once
every two to three weeks, everybody on that floor.

Speaker 6 (18:38):

there a possibility maybe you propped your butt up there
and copied it?

this happened. I probably wasn't even working when the booty him.
You can you must be out your mind. You can
waste everybody else the time trying to bring everyone in
to get a free strip show. But you're not gonna
do that to me. This has to be unethical and
illegal on so many levels. You're trying to come in

we've been dating three years, so it's time to think

(26:29):
about marriage. Is this old school thinking?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Or is he right? Well, I mean, what do you
want after relationship?

Speaker 7 (26:37):
You could call it old school thinking, but that's why
that's why some of y'all need to start thinking. I mean,
if you've been in a relationship for three years or
what where y'all going? Why are you in it this long?
If you don't want nothing else out of it, you
should be dating other people. But if you had a
relationship for three years and you want to get a

(26:57):
cabin in the mountains.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
You know, I mean, your your daddy, right, what what
y'all want?

want nothing?

Speaker 1 (27:07):

you know, if.

You don't want nothing, then that's cool. And you can
call your daddy old fashion because.

Finally in Trending News and ex school ex school food
service director in the Harvey, Illinois school district has been
sentenced to nine years in prison. This happened, yeah, nine
years after she admitted to stealing a million and a
half dollars worth of chicken wings is system. According to

(33:28):
The New York Post, Vera Lydell worked at the school
district during COVID from twenty twenty to twenty twenty two,
when the district was still sending out meals for students
learning remotely during the pandemic, Lyadell allegedly ordered more than
eleven thousand cases of chicken wings from the district food provider.
A routine audit found the district was over budget only

(33:52):
being halfway through the school year, which led to Lydell's arrest.
So eleven thousand cases cost a million and a half
dollars and she got nine years in prison for stealing
jail wings.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Yeah wait, what are you in here for?

Speaker 6 (34:14):

I mean, what if well, I've just done.

Speaker 7 (34:59):

at one point five million dollars. They're saying that one
case of wings, okay, through the math is one hundred
and thirty six dollars.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Okay, that's about right. How many wings is in a case?
Probably probably the flat a couple hundred pieces maybe difference.

Or left Handers Day yesterday right along with that hair

Kirk Franklin is trending right now after he said Christians
are weaponizing marriage and being single. We'll talk about it
right after this. You're listening Hardy Morning Show. All right,

(39:30):
So guys, Kirk Franklin is trending after his recent interview
on Cam Newton's podcast. Kirk said Western Christians should stop
weaponizing marriage and being single. Take a listen to what
he had to say.

Speaker 8 (39:41):
Don't be no thirty thirty five year old single black
woman and go to the Fen reunion.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
All the older women are gonna do nothing. They're gonna
look at you in wonder why you matter. Where your
man is, where your kids like.

Speaker 8 (39:53):
It's a prerequisite for identity and value that if you
don't have a man, if you don't have kids, that
something about you is broken.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Do you understand how this functional.

Speaker 8 (40:05):
These messages are and how we super spiritualize these messages,
Paul said, But marriage is a necessary distraction.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Kirk had more to say.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
They quickly get married thinking that they're fulfilling God's will
for their lives. But they are, They are fulfilling Man's dogma.
You can be single and be used by God. You
can be single and have purpose. Being married is not
a prerequisite for God's hand on your life.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
It is not man.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Kirkmen, Yes, well, you know something.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
I agree with that, and I think that's what happens
to a lot of women. And I want to say something.
Look to a lot of single women out there. You know,
Kirk said something. He said, you can have a purpose.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
You know, has it ever occurred to us? Sometimes sometimes
people are on a different path.

Speaker 7 (41:06):
Just because you picked the path to go down, don't
mean that's the path that that person has to go down.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
You can have a purpose in your life and be single.
Sometimes that's the path you have to go down.

Speaker 7 (41:17):
There are a lot of really, really great single women
out there who have incredible lives and an incredible purpose
and careers and still single. It don't mean that there
has not been office for her not to be single.

(41:37):
She just didn't want to make that bad choice, you know,
just cause you know it's a lot of women could
be off the market.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
But off the market with who.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
If he ain't the right one, what you're going down
that alley FORLF? So, yeah, exactly, you know, I mean,
and and God uses single people. God has used prostitutes.
God has used murderers. God has used adulteress. God has
used liars, stutterers. Every everything he done, used all kinds

(42:15):
of people, and everybody he used, society says something's wrong
with him.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
So he's absolutely right. If you go to the U
thirty thirty five, you ain't got nobody.

Speaker 7 (42:27):
Well, you know, you know how many times we've made
a mistake with the wrong person in your thirties.

Speaker 6 (42:38):
You people in the I mean miserable people in the
family that's over there talking about you ain't got they
stuff together right over there, I ain't got they stuff together.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Yeah, and it's sitting under the tree at the family reunion.
They're four kings, four baby daddy talking about she ain't
got no kids, don't nobody want her?

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Noah, Maybe she made some better decisions, you know. Yeah,
But what I found out, most people that's pointing.

Speaker 7 (43:14):
Got to look at them three fingers at that's pointing
at them while they sticking their index finger out at you.
Because that's always the case. So you know, I say that,
but I agree with what Kirk saying. You know, it's
kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yeah, stop doing.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
It, because I'm gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 7 (43:32):
The first time I got married, you know, I was
going to church on the regular and that was a
big part of it. And one of the messages was
it is better to marry than to burn. That was
a big message at our church. And we were encouraged
to marry if we was dating these girls at this church,

(43:53):
we were encouraged to get married.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
I can't tell you all the marriages is gone.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
You just want to burn him, burn, burn me, b Yeah,
I got married and did burn.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Okay, So thank you Kirk for that word. All right,

is that we're wanting you, if at all possible, and
the deacons we're in on this meeting as well, but
wanting you to change your attitude when people are coming

(46:40):
in and you're seating them.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
From my understanding, it's gotten to the point where.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
It could be yours. Buckle up and hold on time.
We got it for you.

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Here.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
It is Strowberry Letter, subject thinking if you the subject
is He's afraid of the competition. Got to do a
little disclaimer here for our audience. If you have young
children in the car with you or at home, you
don't want them to hear this letter. Dear Stephen Shirley,
I'm thirty seven years old and dating a man that's
thirty five. We met online and things have been going

(54:32):
really good for us. It's been a year, but we've
made the long distance thing work. He does a great
job at coming to see me, and he's flown me
out a few times for the weekend. Our biggest problem
is our sex drives. He is over the top, and
now that I'm getting it regularly, I want it all
the time. He uses explicit videos and I use my toys.

(54:53):
He sends me picks of himself, but I'm too scared
to do that because of my job. He has never
seen my toy until recently. He wanted to see what's
taking place, what's taking his place when he's not around.
I reached under my pillow to pull out Chocolate Thunder.
He gasped, and I couldn't stop laughing. He said, it's

(55:15):
not a laughing matter and I need to get go
get a check up immediately. I could not stop laughing.
I put it away and we went to dinner. The
entire night, he was worried about the toy I showed him,
and he said, there's no way possible that I used that.
I was still tickled thinking he was playing. We were
intimate a lot before he left. When I drove him

(55:36):
to the airport, he confessed that he hid my chocolate
from me. He said he can't measure up to mister Chocolate,
and I didn't need to be using that while he's gone.
I begged him to tell me where he put it,
but he wouldn't. He was not laughing at all. He
is seriously afraid of a competition, not knowing the woman's

(55:58):
anatomy at all. I assured him that he's more than
enough for me, and I'm happy with him. He said
that I better not order another mister Chocolate. How can
we possibly be arguing over a gadget? Is this normal
in a new relationship or is it a red flag
that he's insecure? Well, it definitely, you know, could be

(56:20):
that he's intimidated or insecure. I mean, the name itself
is a lot chocolate Thunder, and the way you said
he gassed when he saw it, it sounds like it
did scare him a little and may make him feel insecure.
So yes, he is serious about all of this. He
asked you to see a doctor because I'm assuming the

(56:42):
size of mister Thunder. He confessed to you that he
cannot measure up to mister Chocolate. Then he hid it
and told you to stop using it when he's not around,
and he was not laughing. You're the only one who's
finding humor in this situation. So if you want to
make him happy and keep him around for some more years,
you guys have been together for a year. Either you

(57:05):
get a different size toy, a smaller toy, or keep
mister Chocolate Thunder and run the risk of your man
continuing to judge you about this and being mad about this.
It's competition for him, like you said, so his ego
is involved. He's already told you he can't measure up
to mister Thunder Chocolate Thunder. And even though you let
him know you're happy with him and he's enough for

(57:26):
you and all that, he's not trying to hear any
of that because to him, size matters, even if it's
a toy. So this is a problem in your relationship, Steve.

Speaker 7 (57:36):
Yeah you got problem. Yeah, yeah, we got problem. We
ain't gonna maybe fix this for you either. Then I'm
just tell you I'm gonna just keep it one hundred
with you. Ain't a damn thing we can do. I
can't help you. I don't know why you wrote me
with this here. I don't know what's wrong with you.
Sometimes you just gotta keep something to your damn self.

(57:58):
I don't know why people feel like they got to
tell everything. Shut your mouth. Ain't nobody got to know
all your secrets. You met this man online. You thirty seven,
he thirty five. Things been going really good. It's been

(58:20):
a year now and y'all have pretty much made the
long distance thing work. He does a great job of
coming to see you on weekends, and he'd have flew
you out sometimes to y'all, looker, our biggest problem is
our sex drives. Now, let me explain some teeth when
you start your letter that y'all been dating for a year,

(58:41):
and y'all's biggest problem is y'all's sex drives, not your
sex drive or his sex drive. Y'all's sex drives. His
is over the top, and now that I'm getting it regularly,
I want it all the time. So we got two
people whose sex drives is over the top. He uses

(59:04):
explicit videos and I use my toys. He sends me
picking himself, but I'm too scared to do that because
of my job, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
That's good.

Speaker 7 (59:16):
He has never seen my toys until recently, so he
asked you to show him what's taking his place when
he ain't there. You reached under your pillar. Hear what
this whole letter is about. You reached under your pillar
to pull out chocolate. Thunder Lord her mercy.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
He gassed.

Speaker 7 (59:43):
I don't know what you pull from under that pillar,
but I think that pillar barely could cover it up
because it sounded like chocolate.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Thunder was weigh too much chocolate, and weigh too much thunder.
It was just too much. He got huh.

Speaker 7 (01:00:01):
It took his breath away. You start laughing. Now, I'll
be sitting there going the hell funny. Now, when we
come back to this letter, I'm going to introduce you
to some things that you're not familiar with. And it
don't matter if the kids hear my answer or not,
because my answer will not be explicit in any way.
It's just you got to do something different, and I

(01:00:24):
have found the way.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
When we come back, all right, we'll have part two
of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after
the hour. The subject is he's afraid of the competition.
We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve Let's
recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is He's afraid of

(01:00:46):
a competition.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Yeah, well this is a.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Really a funny letter. The people met online that'd been dating.
She thirty five, he thirty seven. A long dish relationship
has been working and he flies her. He come to
see her weekends and fly her out of town to
see him. That's been going all right, and the only problem,
they say is they sex drives. They over the top.
His is over the top and hers over the top.

(01:01:13):
So when they got around each other, he used videos
and she used her toy. So he got inquisited one
day and say, what takes my place when I'm aney
not there? She reached under the pillar and pulled out
something called chocolate Thunder. Now chocolate thunder made him gas

(01:01:34):
because obviously it was too much chocolate and too much
damn thunder.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
She laughed.

Speaker 7 (01:01:43):
He didn't think it was funny. So they went on,
had they wonderful week in But then when he left,
he let her know I didn't hid chocolate thunder. Now
what he don't know is she done told that damn
house up trying to find chocolate thunder. This she all

(01:02:03):
sheet rock and she'd have took the she'd have took
the insulation out the attic.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
It pinched stuff all over the damn house. She done
called in rot a rudah.

Speaker 7 (01:02:19):
She got a plumber, then went all down in the
tarlets and she didn't had septic people come in. She
all out in the back She didn't hide four blood
hounds to come there all in the backyard. She got
cadiver dogs looking for this thing in this backyard. Cause
Chocolate Thunder meant something to her. Her problem is she

(01:02:43):
showed it to him. Now he didn't sold her. Don't
order no more damn chocolate Thunder. So now here's where
Uncle Steve come in at. This is the part I'm
good at. You're gonna have to go back and get
another model. That several models out there that you can
choose from, and I have the names, and it'll be

(01:03:06):
less intimidating. He don't like Chocolate Thunder. They have a
model out called Quiet Storm. You might want to look
into getting that one right there. That it's Quiet Storm.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
It do the job.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
It's just you know, it's just a little better name
to it. Or you know, you might just want to.

Speaker 7 (01:03:26):
Go total opposite and get the model called white cloud
that can be confused, and then when you look up
on the receipt it it looked like toilet tissue. So
you can order that and it looked like toilet tissue,
but it's white cloud. Then you can make him really
feel secure. You can order one called navy bean. They
call navy beans. Everybody know that. That's you know, come

(01:03:48):
in the bag and it's very small, so that might
be less intimidating.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Or you could get black eyed pee. That's a new.

Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
Model that they came out with replace choclate thunder. It's
called black eyed Pea. It sounds a lot less intimidating.
You can also get rainstorm. Rainstorm is out there. That's

subject to you is near and dear to your heart.

(01:10:32):
GT on Reddit Rights, My girlfriend and I have just
moved in together, and she already wants to say and
how I pee. She's insisting that I pee sitting down.
Her demand is based on what. Yeah, her demand is
based on her desire not to stand in whatever quote

(01:10:53):
misses the toilet or sit in or clean up anything
that doesn't directly hit the water the record, I pride
myself on being a quote neat pier and have no
problem cleaning up after myself in the event I miss
the mark. We're less than a than two months into
living together, and have you ever heard of this demand?

Speaker 7 (01:11:15):
GT wants to know, Yeah, anybody's sitting down to peek
I'm gonna tell you that's one of the great joys
of being a man, being able to stand there anywhere outside, inside,
in the snows, away from the tree, drawing your initials
on the on the tree.

Speaker 5 (01:11:34):
Bob.

Speaker 7 (01:11:35):
It's just too many joys. I'm standing there. Come on, now,
listen to me. Everybody misses. Let me give you all
some reasons why. Number one, sometimes it ain't missing the mark.
Sometimes it's when it's over. When it's over, you have to.

(01:11:56):
Let's just say again, let's say you have to.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
You have to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
It's like it's okay, it's like a fireman. It's like
a fireman.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
The fireman go to a fire and they and they
put in the fire out right, And then when they
get back to the firehouse, when they take the truck
with the fire holes back to the firehouse, they gotta
wrap the holes back up.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Well, you gotta squeeze all the water out to wrap
up the fire holes.

Speaker 7 (01:12:28):
You feel mere, yeah, because there's always yeah, it's water
in the fire hole.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
So they get all the water out of fire and
that that's how the shake happens.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
Come on, what you're supposed to do is the seed
is up and you take a little like y'all gotta
use toilet tishes every time y'all go, we take a
little bit and wipe off the little rim all you
can just put the seat back down and she don't
never know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
But the main thing is you have to have or
some type of rug in front of that toilet. Oh yeah,
you have to have that rug in front of the toilet.
You better be. The worst thing is.

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
Fall on the floor on that marble or that wood
and she coming down, sit down and step in it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
That way. Your problem. Got to have a rug. My
strong suggestion is a dark colored rug. And why is that?
Tell them? Why is that?

Speaker 7 (01:13:29):
Well, because then there's no trace of it, and you
want it to be thick, so it absorbed down there
and it don't be wet. You got to help yourself.
But ain't nobody coming in that sitting down. I'm just
telling you this. I the hell I'm gonna sit down.
I pulled my pants all the way down, taking one
of them. Joy But man, please, man, that's like, where's

(01:13:52):
one of the joints of being in my ranch? My
wife will be riding on the truck around the ranch.
You know, got them open vehicles, right, I go to
the bathroom. I just get out and go to the bathroom.
Why are you peeing outside?

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
What you think? What the hold up?

Speaker 7 (01:14:08):
You think I'm finna get back in this truck and
ride all the way back to the hell Get off
the truck, go in the house.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
Yes, and pe in that toilet.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
Dude, we have to do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Yeah, that's what you have to do.

Speaker 7 (01:14:23):
So you are missing one of the great joys. I
won't see how many leaves I can move away from
the base of this tree. Imost see if I could
muster up the strength to move one of these tiny
rocks like.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
I used to do. I used to could move one.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
No, and we'll close out the show with it. You're
listening morning show, all right. Here we are on this Tuesday,
our last break of the day.

Speaker 7 (01:20:33):
Yeah, hey, in close the remarks today, I want I
want to do something for people. I want to remind
you of one simple thing. Don't ever ever give up.
Don't ever ever give up. I cannot tell you how

(01:20:54):
many times I have seen people turn back. I have
seen people throwing the tie right before the blessing came.
I can't tell you how many people that I know
decided to just stop and made the decision that it's

(01:21:17):
too hard. I can't tell you how many people I
know who lived their life in utter regret.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
I was talking with a group of people.

Speaker 7 (01:21:26):
That I know, and one of them said, Man, Harve,
I wish I had did what you did. Man, just
went on and followed my dreams. But you know, man,
it was taking so long. It got so hard, man,
and I just I just I just gave up. And
as we were talking, you know, I try not to
be belittling when I'm talking to people, because I try

(01:21:47):
to show have empathy for people when they're talking. But
I said, but man, but bruh, how's that working for you?

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
Though? He said, Man, I just regret it.

Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
And I don't want people out there who are listening
to me to live a life of regret, because I'm
telling you, man, the cost of success is high, but
the bill for regret, Oh my goodness, that thing keeps

(01:22:21):
charging you over and over and over and over again,
when when you what you had to do was make
the decision to never give up. Now, Look, it don't
mean you can't stop and rest. It don't mean that
you ain't gonna have no bad days. It don't mean
that you ain't gonna think about it. It don't mean

(01:22:44):
that it's gonna appear so easy to just stop right now.
If I stop the pursuit of my dreams and aspirations
right now, I won't have to show up here tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
I won't have to do that. Nobody will expect this, y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
All.

Speaker 7 (01:22:58):
That's true, and it's sounds easy, and it is easy
to give up. It is because all you got to
do is stop. But what happens when you give up
is that you in all possibilities of it ever happening.
You remove any chance of your dreams ever coming true.

(01:23:20):
You just remove them yourself. But listen to me. If
you don't give up, if when you stumble, you keep
stumbling is and when you fall, don't stay down, man,
Just just don't give up. When you fall, crawl on

(01:23:42):
your stomach army style. If you fall, just get up
to your knees, look to the heavens and ask God
for strip. If you got to crawl part of the way.
Just don't give up. I don't care how it looks
on your trip to success. I don't care how froth
with danger your journey is. Just don't give up. Let

(01:24:07):
me tell you man. You know, and golf they have
a saying, ain't no pictures on the scorecard. I was
playing with Tommy one time. I don't know if he
remembers this, but Tommy hit a shot and it hit
a tree, and the ball bounced off the tree and
rolled up on the green two inches from the cup.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Now guess what we had to give him a birdie.
But guess what, ain't no.

Speaker 7 (01:24:35):
Pictures on the skull card. And that's how life works, man,
It ain't no pictures. Nobody at the end goes show
me your picture. They just look at the results. But
you can only get the results if you keep playing,
if you keep waking up, if you keep putting one
foot in front of the other. It don't matter how
pretty it is. And I don't care how ugly it gets.

(01:24:57):
You can win ugly as long as you win. Don't
give up. I don't care what you have to do
to keep your dream alive. Keep it alive, keep pursuing it,
keep believing, keep having hope, keep praying, keep pushing. Do
you know what push stands for? Push is an acronym.
Push actually means pray until something happens. I don't care

(01:25:18):
if you don't know what it is. You got to
keep pushing. Just keep praying it, keep praying until something happens.
There are so many ways not to give up. Just endure,
because I'm telling you, man, giving up is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Not the answer for you.

Speaker 7 (01:25:33):
It might seem easy, but that easy is so temporary,
because once you give up, life gonna get real hard.

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
For you, because now you've got to live your life
in regret. I would have, should have, could have.

Speaker 6 (01:25:47):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:25:47):
I am not finna live no life like that, and
I don't want you to either. All you got to
do is just keep getting up and keep having some
form of faith. You don't need a lot of faith.
The Bible says the faith of a mustard seed, the
smallest of all seeds.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
You don't need to have.

Speaker 7 (01:26:06):
You don't need to have a big old relationship with God.
You need relationship with God. You don't need to have
a whole lot of faith. You need to just have
the small hope that you can make it. You ever
hear people say, keep hope alive, just hope, man, I
wish I could get you to understand that are ways
to hang on the beggar. You know, you know, I'm

(01:26:30):
to the point in my life where people say hang
in there, Steve. I look at him like, well, what
else I'm gonna do? Because quitting is just not an option.
I've removed quitting off the option. No matter what happens,
quitting is not an option. Make that your mantra, and
go on and watch God bless you, and keep pushing

(01:26:50):
p USh, pray, until something happens.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
If that's all you got, that's good enough. Have a
great day, y'all. Would see y'all to the mall. Steve
