Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 1 (00:10):
So given a black million busy listening to.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Joy, Yeah, Joy, you gotta do that.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
You gotta turn.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
You have to turn the mouth, the turn you probably
got to turn mouth, turn out the word the mon jo.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Look, come.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
Come on, you'll think, uh huh, I shall will Good
morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig
me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay.
I want to talk to you today about success. But

(02:22):
I want to talk to you about it like I
usually do in terms of a principle of it, but
I want to share something with you about it. And
I was talking to my daughter about it. I've talked
about my son in law about it, talked about it
with all my children, and I'm really starting to express
it to them now because I'm talking to a wide

(02:45):
range of people constantly. But I want to share something
with you. If you have any aspiration of being successful,
I want you to realize, starting right now, the effort
that is going to require. And that's why I think
it stops a lot of people. I think a lot
of people are never told or don't understand the sheer

(03:09):
effort that it takes to become successful at anything in
any area of your life. If you think that doing
your best is enough, that I got news for you.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's not. Well, Steve.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
What if you've done your best, though, and your best
ain't good enough? Well, let me ask you that same question.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Hold on.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
If you want to be successful and you've done your
best and best isn't good enough? What you threw that's it.
But Steve, it was my best. No, no, no, no no.
It was the best you had at that time, in
that particular day. But tomorrow adds something to it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You've never done everything.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
There is no you can't go no more, you can't
add no more. I've seen marathon end up crawling across
the line. I've seen triathlone people man just staggering in
the street and didn't want nobody to help them because
they knew they would disqualify them from the race. You
got more? Have you ever dipped into your reserve tank?

(04:18):
That's what we're talking about now. See all of us
have a reserve tank, you know. On my ranch, I
like to ride four wheelers. I have all terrain vehicles,
and all of them have a gas tank on it
and a gas tank and most of mine, let me
see all of them. Yeah, all of them have gas
tank needles on them, and it lets me know. When

(04:40):
I get down towards eight, there's a little lane that's
red that lets me know. Okay, Steve, you're in the
danger zone. Now you're riding into the lowest part of
your tank. But if I keep riding and I forget
to get some gas in there, guess what when it
runs out of gas.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
All of my.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
All terrain vehicle, all of them, Honda Polaris, all of them.
Those are the makers. There's a button on the gas
tank itself that I can click and it says reserve.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That means they know.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
That for the hard core riders, they're gonna ride somewhere,
they're gonna get themselves in a situation and they're gonna
run out of everything. They're gonna run out of road,
they're gonna run out of gas. They've prepared because they
know for the hard core rider, every hard core rider
needs a reserve tank. And so there's a button that

(05:36):
you can click on the gas tank that clicks it
into a reserve and it'll give you about fifty miles
or twenty miles worth of gas in that Now, guess
what in that reserve? That may be all you need
to get you the where you're going, or get you
back to safety so you can refuel. Don't tell me

(05:57):
you've done your best. When your best, don't cut what
you're gonna do. See when best is possible, then good
enough ain't enough. See that's good enough. But if the
best it is possible, why would you not shoot for that?
And you you are all capable of making it. But
you've got to change your mindset and realize the effort

(06:20):
that has to be put forth in becoming successful. You've
got to do it relentlessly, over and over and over
and over and every day. I try to do something
to progress my life for the better. I try to
do something every day. I wake up every day with
the plan. Some phone calls, some meetings, some some some

(06:41):
some interviews.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Something.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Man, that's going to advance and move the brand forward.
Because here's what's gonna happen. You are Let's say you
reach your goal. Let's say your goal is to make
now one hundred thousand dollars. Well, I got news for you.
Listen to this. When you make the one hundred thousand dollars,
you can't go nowhere and go on vacation and put

(07:04):
your hand behind your head and say, I made one
hundred thousand dollars. Guess what you got to do. You
got to find a way now to maintain that one
hundred thousand, to keep it coming in. See, you can't
just get there and stop and rest and whoa. It
is harder to maintain your success than it is to
get successful.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
See. Let's say, let me show you this. Suppose it
takes you.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
Five to eight years to find a way to make
fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Let's say it takes you.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Five to eight years to find a way to make
an extra fifty thousand dollars, and you finally, through work
and effort, you get to the fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Math it's only just begun.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Now because guess what, in order to keep the fifty
coming in, you gotta duplicate what you did to get there.
And then, oh, here's what you're going to have the
audacity being a human being. You're gonna want another fifty
because you're a human being, Because you gotta have something else.

(08:11):
To shoot for Now you're gonna want another fifty. Well, now,
I guess what you gotta do now, Now you gotta
do what you did before. Fuck plus you gotta come
up with something else. Then after that you're gonna have
the audacity because you're human, You're gonna want another fifty.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Says how this works?

Speaker 6 (08:29):
And see that that's the importance of your relationship with God,
because you're gonna constantly need it. It ain't have a
point where you're gonna be through needing it. But that
ain't gonna become a point in your life where you're
going through. Won't be through, won't nothing unless you then
just gave up. And if you done gave up, who
wants that? Come on, y'all, this is going to take

(08:51):
quite a bit of effort, and if you think it'll
come to you any other way, you're sadly mistaken. Because
of all the successful people I know, I know that
the effort they put out on a daily basis is daunting,
and I think that the average person just doesn't understand
the requirement of time and effort that it takes to
get that and willingness to put it out. You got

(09:13):
to cut a lot of monkey business out your life.
All that hanging out, all that late and all that
club and all that drinking, all that you gotta cut
a whole lot of.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Monkey business out to be successful.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
Man, If you're planning on being successful, get up early,
stay up late, work, try, think, meet, greet, smile, attract.
It takes a lot, let's go, but you can do it.
God is pressed to passing out blessings all day long.
Why are you not in line for yours? I'm telling

(09:46):
you right now, I want everything God got for me
because what he's shown.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Me so far. Who if he got some moke man
or man? How good is God? Huh?

All right, nephew, coming up next and is ask the
clo or Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey is in the
building right after this.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
All right, guys, time now for us the clo.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
This one is from Cecil in Saginaw, Michigan. Cecil Rights.
I'm a seventy year old bachelor and I swore i'd
never get married, but now I'm in love with a
younger woman and she's threatening to leave me if I
don't get my act together. See, I have another problem too.
I have a very controlling daughter and she will be

(21:26):
wealthy after I pass away. She's my everything, and I
know she will fight over my assets, especially because she
thinks my girlfriend is only with me for the money.
She suggested I get a prenup if I decide to
marry this woman.

Speaker 8 (21:41):
What should I do?

Speaker 6 (21:42):
CLO, Well, go on and get a prenup because on
how much younger this woman is.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
But if you seventy damned everybody you meet from.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
Younger as could be, that covers a wide range of people, cecil,
and so I'm most assuming all that she is quite younger,
and your daughter's a little bit aggravated by it, and
I think you can understand that.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
But your daughter is your everything.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
So if the woman really loves you for your love
and not for your money at this age difference, she
would understand that you want to leave everything to your child,
and so that makes sense. But she's threatening to leave
you if you don't get yourself together. How she wants
either one or two things. She wants you to get
your daughter under control, or she wants you to handle

(22:31):
your business and hand it over to her. Those are
the only two things I could think she's telling you
to get yourself together, she gonna leave you. And then
the words of someone. I don't know whether this phrase
came from, but the two words are by and Felicia,
and you can apply those. And because I'm pretty sure, yeah,

(22:55):
I understand that you got, you got, you can do
you could, you can get somebody else.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
All right, We're moving on. Tabitha and Philly says, I'm
a thirty four year old married woman and I need
your advice. My husband works downtown and I work from home.
On Friday, I ran to the dry cleaners and I
saw my husband's car. I expected him to be in
the cleaners, but instead, his assistant was inside at the counter.

(23:22):
She told she turned bright red when she saw me,
and I told her to give me the car keys
and Colin Uber. My husband was very upset and asked
me to apologize to his assistant. I told him that
would never happen. Do you think I overreacted about this?

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Well, you didn't know why the assistant had the car
down at the cleaners.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Was obviously to pick up some cleaning. I must assume me.

Speaker 6 (23:53):
He wasn't down there. They wasn't at a hotel. He
gave it a car to go down there to pick
up his dry cleaning. You done came in all gangster,
get an uber, Give me the damn car keys. Now
you got what you wanted. You got the car keys.
Now your husband on set. What did your husband do?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well? You be scared to somebody wife walk in? You
got the keys? Yeah, sound like a white woman, right,
like white woman. I'm telling you that.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
I know one thing she got asking that you uber.
That wasn't no arguing about the keys. She had her
that kid and got right in it.

Speaker 8 (24:44):
But you're saying you think the wife overreacted.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
I do, but I also understand her position. But she
jumped to the conclusion without note of the proof other
than she had the keys to the car.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
She should apologize.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yes, all right, here we go.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
It'll happen, right, yeah, all right?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Moving on. Molly in Tupelo, Mississippi, says, I'm a twenty
nine year old single mother and my boyfriend of five
years just moved in with a guy I slept with
last year. I slept with a guy while my boyfriend
was deployed last year. He works with a guy now
and they decided to be roommates so my boyfriend can
save up to buy a house. My boyfriend can't live

(25:29):
with me because my son's father won't allow it. Do
I tell my boyfriend that I had sex with his roommate,
or pray it never comes up?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Better, get to pray out.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Don't walk that information in the door that you slept
with him while he was deployed.

Speaker 10 (25:50):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Listen to me.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
There's a saying that everything comes to light. That's not true.
That's just not true.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
So don't start bringing everything to the light. Turn that
damn light off.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Right sometimes sometimes in our lives, and all of us
have benefited from it. There's a thing that we all
been from benefit from called grace. And but by the grace, somehow,
some things are not allowed to be known about you,
and that's some grace and favor. You should be the

(26:31):
beneficiary of that as long as you can.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Don't walk nothing in there and tell it that they
don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
And these are some famous words. Shut your damn mouth.
I don't know who that quote is from, but shut
your damn mouth. It is one of my I don't

(27:01):
know who the tribute that to, but I love it.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Man, all right, all right here we go.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
All right, one last one, Shay, you have one?

Speaker 11 (27:16):
No, I just I just wanted to add to what
he's saying about.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Shut your damn mount. It's very important.

Speaker 11 (27:23):
If you have information that somebody doesn't know, don't give
it to them. Just willy nilly, What the hell would
you do that for? That is just stupid, That's all
I had to say.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
That's dumb as hell. They don't know you. I mean,
they don't know and you're telling them. Damn, that's dumb.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
That is just dumb.

Speaker 8 (27:46):
This is where we went through.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Many man, But why and who all deployed in Tupelo.

want the true honesty is stupid, overrated, It's way overrated.

Lord have mercy.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
The walls are gibaltar.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Walls of.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
I'd have grabbed the tie rack in front of me
to just try to hang on. I'm twisting the guest
tile in my head like I'm ringing it out.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I did knock the toilet tissue.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Holder off the wall, screws out everything I had kicked
over the trash cat.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
You can hear this, right, I don't hear It.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
Wasn't feeling what I was feeling. But I'm using the
bathroom so much alarming to me.

life prior to I.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Didn't know when you don't stop my story. Shirt. This
is for junior time, I know.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
So I'm filling the bowl up, so finally I'm done,
to my relief, but I'm sweating though I'm talking about it.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'm in there. Shirt my shirt wide I had, but
my whole shirt it's wide.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
I had hung my pants up on the back of
the dunk because I use a bathroom like my daddy
always hang my pants and draws up on the back
of the shirt. Yeah, you know, ever use the bathrooms.
But I got my shirt on. But I didn't open
it up because it's hot. I got just just water
coming down out the front. So I stand up and

(34:01):
I flushed the toilet. Now I'm putting my clothes on.
But you know how you're waiting to hear that sound
that all I hear is to swirl and I turn
around and his rise.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Rising.

Speaker 6 (34:25):
I'm asking God not to do this to me today.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
I'm asking God, not today, Lord, not in him. You
have to have a part three.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
This ain't the time for this. Lord, stop this swirl
from rise. God, you ain't ever right now.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Oh God, we have to go through.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
I will, but Jesus, will it stop the But it's
steady coming.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
God, just catch up. I'm over this fine girl house
stomach toe up, the eight grill old food seventeen.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Should have went home and used the bathroot sat in
our house cause she's fine. Now I'm in here using
the bathroom and all held and broken. I'm in here,
neked sting on the toilet was just my shirt on
because I like to shit wide, lady. I like to
be open and free, and I need it because I
had to brace myself a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
But she never came in there to her.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Cham not checked. She coming that's coming.

Speaker 8 (35:37):
In the store.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
So I get up.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
I finally get through, but I've noticed that I'm putting
more in the bowls and ever bore. So I'm a
little bit concerned with their sheer volume. So I flushed
the toilet as I'm putting my pants back up on me,
and I'm waiting to hear that.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
But I don't hear it. And I look back and
his rise just going in a slow circle. So I
go in.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
I go to my heavenly father, here, Father the god boy,
now lost stop this rise in time. Wow, somehow, don't
let this swirl get up by the top. But he
didn't hear me that day. Yes, I guess it wasn't
let The next thing I know, it's at the very

(36:27):
top of the toilet.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Oh my god, and it's about to flow over. So
now I don't know what to do. So I look
down and it's a trash can.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
So I dipped the trash can down in it, and
I got a trash can full of it here.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
So I pull on the shower curtain back it, throw
it in the bathto.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
But here comes some more, so I had to take
another trash can full of it.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
And throw another.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Trash can in the bathtub, and here comes some damn moat.
So now I realized they call it is broke up
and it started going back down or you work there,
I say, I gotta get some water and put it
in here.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
So I started running water.

Speaker 6 (37:24):
In the trash can to pour it down there and
make the water go clean. So I finally did that. Yeah,
and I said, thank you Lord. And I looked over
and the damn bathtub is tripe. Shower cook this tripe.

Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you.
Here it is Strawberry.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Letter, subjected show business isn't for everyone, even Shirley. I'm
a fifty year old, devoted wife with a big problem.
I've been married to a great man for twenty three
years and we have two kids in college. He's a
great provider and we both have solid careers, but he
has always had a big dream. He wants to be

(53:16):
a big Broadway actor. My husband wants badly to be
an actor, but he's never been able to make it work.
He's auditioned for a lot of commercials, he's taking act
he's taken acting classes, and he has wasted our money
on hustling his way into some big auditions, but each
time he was rejected. The most he's achieved is some

(53:37):
unpaid adult roles in the local children's theater. To put
it plainly, he can't act worth a darn and he
can't sing to save his life. I love him, but
it's the truth. Our friends and family have sat through
too many bad productions and local plays, and I simply
can't do it anymore. We constantly have to lie and

(53:57):
tell him he's good, and we know that we giving
him false encouragement. My biggest problem is now that our
kids are in college, he has come up with the
crazy idea of moving to New York so he can
finally make it big as an actor. He has no
professional experience, but he thinks he just needs to be
discovered to get his first big break. I don't know

(54:19):
how to tell him it's not going to happen without
crushing his spirit. What is a wife to do when
you know your man's hopes most likely will never be
a reality. Steve, you're a superstar, So what advice do
you have for someone who has to tell their spouse
there definitely not going to make it. He can't upgroup
my life with a delusion. Please help?

Speaker 10 (54:39):
Well?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Does he have any talent at all? Nothing?

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Because on one hand, you definitely need to stop lying
to him, you and all your friends and you all
have to tell him the truth. If you really love
him like you say you do, and those are really
his friends. You guys have to sit him down and
tell him the truth. Maybe he didn't take enough acting
classes sometimes, you know, maybe he needs more. You know,

(55:07):
sometimes you can you know. Maybe on the other hand,
you don't want to be the one to just kill
his dream. This is a dream of his, so you know,
you gotta you have to support him as a wife
because you know he's going to be crushed to know
that you really don't believe in him, all right, But
obviously he believes in himself, which is a good thing,

(55:29):
no matter how many rejections he's gotten, because I mean,
actors say this all the time about the rejections they
have to deal with, and they do have to deal
with a lot of rejection. And no, I don't think
that you should uproot your life, but I do think,
you know, maybe you should have one more good chance
for him, you know, give him a chance to pursue

(55:51):
his dream.

Speaker 7 (55:51):
You know, pick a.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Date, set up some audition, send out some videotapes, video audition,
video auditions, and if he gets a bite, if he
gets you know, a callback or something, maybe then he
can go to New York if it's something something permanent, okay,
But I would encourage him to keep taking those classes
because I don't think he should kill his dream.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I don't ye want to crush this time.

Speaker 6 (56:21):
If you're this time out for this, too old for this,
fifty years old. You've been with this man twenty three years.
He ain't made it yet. The damn kids is gonna
have degrees for he make it. He's a great provider,
that's what he is. Got a solid career, that's what

(56:43):
That's what he is. He's always had a big dream.
He wants to be a big Broadway actor. My husband
wants badly be an actor, but he ain't never been
able to make it work.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
He did an audition for.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
Commercials making acting classes.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
He don't wasted money hustling his way into some.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
Big auditions, and every time he rejected because he can't act.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Your damn husband can't act.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
But what is this?

Speaker 6 (57:17):
Why he always get That's why he got to hustle
his way into these auditions.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Ain't nobody asked him to come down there? They had
him at the other audition. He can't act.

Speaker 6 (57:32):
The most he's achieving some unpaid adult roles in a
local children's theater. Now, Oh, fat ass is somewhere. He
the tree, the tree you're in the children's theater. Your
big ass is the tree.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
To put it plainly, he can't act work for damn.

Speaker 6 (57:56):
I said this two letters, two sentences in. He can't
act with a damn and can't saying to save his life.
So if somebody had a gun on him and said,
if you can sound like any record out today, I won't.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Shoot you, his ass will be shot.

Speaker 6 (58:18):
I love him, but it's the truth, and the truth
will set you free, friends and family that set through
too many bad productions and local plays. And I can't
do it, no damn more, just sitting up lying to
his old ass, telling him he good and we know
we give it him false encouragement. Your ass ain't nothing

(58:39):
but a tree. Now, he done came up with some
crazy idea to move to New York. You know how
much you costs live in New York? Telling ain't a finn?
Hide his old ass, and he ain't been nothing but
a tree.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Steve, we come back. I'm gonna tell you the rest
of it.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
Tell but you don't want to kill his dream sain't
no damn dream.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
All right, We'll have part two of Steve's very sweet
response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's
subject is show business isn't for everyone. It isn't for everyone,
and it may not be for your husband. We'll be
back with part two at twenty three after right after this.
You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on,

(59:30):
let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject show business isn't for everyone.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Fifty old man been married to this fifty old dude.
Fifty year old woman.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
She's been married to this man twenty three years, kids
and went off to college.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
He'd been trying to make it as an actor all
this time. He can't.

Speaker 6 (59:48):
He'dn't been auditions, he always get rejected. He'd hustle his
way into big auditions, he always get to rejecting.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
He can't.

Speaker 6 (59:59):
You know, he didn't been in some unpaid adult roles
in the local children theater.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
We all know what that means. He can't act with
for damn. He can't sing word for damn.

Speaker 6 (01:00:09):
He's a good provider, but other than that, he's not
worth for damn.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
Now, let's just speak clear.

Speaker 6 (01:00:18):
Wow, friends and family, the sect through too many bad
productions and local plays and you can't do it no more.
Well you think you can't do it your friends is
damn show tied? Ah, he can't. He probably want them
plays where he's selling tickets to it. Everybody in the
plane got to sell fifteen tickets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
Yeah, that's probably what he doing. He can't act.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
I was scared when I first saw this letter that
but but because I thought it was about somebody I knew.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
But then it turned.

Speaker 6 (01:00:58):
On me because you know he he do want to
be a big Broadway actor.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
I heard him up making work. Now, I was just
saying it was somebody I know.

Speaker 6 (01:01:10):
He auditioned for a lot of commercial he just took
acting classes. But then it started going bad because it said,
but he can't act one for damn. So then I
knew it wasn't tom because Tommy asked can act.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
At first I was very Oh, I was gonna do it, but.

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
Then you know it's saying he can't act one for
down and that's Tommy can really act, though, so I
had to I had to back up off. So it's
not nobody I know. He has no professional experience. He
just thinks he needs to be discovered to get his
first big break. I don't know how to tell him
it's not gonna happen without crushing his spirit.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
We got to get this spirit crushed.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
We have gotten it soon for y'all mess around and
he find a place in Man.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
God's gonna starve to death going up there trying to
be a starving actor.

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
Now listen to me. First of all, here's the truth.
This is not a dream that you're crushing. This is
his delusion. He's delusion. He's not dreaming.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
This is a delusion.

Speaker 6 (01:02:24):
And if you go tonight, if you go to New York,
it's gonna become a nightmare. Here's something else we need
to come to the realization. All dreams don't come true.
They don't. I'm sixteen years old. I dream of Michelle Piers.

(01:02:51):
It's about because then people can respect your transparency and
maybe we can see some of.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Him in me. Now. I dreamed of Michelle Pierce at sixteen.

Speaker 8 (01:03:04):
Okay, what happened?

Speaker 6 (01:03:07):
Michelle Pier has been married twice to everybody button.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
She could have been Michelle Hard.

Speaker 6 (01:03:16):
Michelle Pierce came to one of my shows in Columbus,
Ohio with her husband. She said, Oh my god, that's
just handsome. I can't believe you've made it. She called
me handsome.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
She got you, she got you. I knew she was
lying me. I like somebody else. Have never really heard
that before, and it threw me.

Speaker 7 (01:03:42):

a single yearine sample, you know during your once a
year checkup, your toilet could be constantly monitoring, monitoring this stuff. Okay,
so you won't have any surprises when.

Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
You go to the dogs. Thought.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Okay, I mean, you know there's something to this. And
of course this toilet could also be programmed to give
you health insights whenever you have to really go and
send all this vital information to your smartphone. So no must,
no fuss, I.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
Don't know, I love it, please do.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
It's and I got it. But day two. I'm good
with Man's I'm good with it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Yeah, yeah, and wet white?

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
What is you talking about? Girl?

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
I like this?

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming
up at thirty three minutes after the hour.

Speaker 7 (01:14:58):
You're listening day Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
All right, guys, it is time for it. Would you
rather here's the first question. Would you rather get a
paper cut on your finger every time you turn the
page of a book or a magazine or something, or
would you rather bite your tongue every time you eat?

Speaker 7 (01:15:18):
So what's worth?

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Give me that paper cutt I'll take the paper book
because I ain't reading no book no way, so it
ain't going to be too much damage. I don't never
read more than a page anyway. I beat a page.
Bite my damn tongue.

Speaker 8 (01:15:37):
I think I'd rather bite my tongue.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
No, I know you don't. We must ain't never beat
it before.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
I've been my tongue before.

Speaker 8 (01:15:44):
But I don't like paper cuts.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
I hate that rather coming up? Rather do that? No, YU,
give me the cut. I can't bite. I hate biting
my trunk, biting my jaw yall.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
That is painful.

Speaker 6 (01:16:12):
And when the molars chopped down, lord, and then you
do it back to back.

Speaker 8 (01:16:17):
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Make what is wrong with me?

Speaker 4 (01:16:22):

Speaker 8 (01:16:24):
Yeah a long time? All right, here's another one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):

Speaker 8 (01:17:15):
So yeah, you're a celebrity, So you late. I hate
being late, Oh god, I hate.

Speaker 6 (01:17:21):
I had a guy one time though. This happened in
New Orleans, and me and him fell out behind. This
had a meeting doing the Essence Festival with this guy
at this restaurant, and I had I had a driver,
and so the driver got caught up in traffic and
was waiting. And so when I got to the restaurant,
I got there ten minutes late. This guy was a
white collar Wall Street guy. He said, wow, you're late.

(01:17:43):
I said, yeah, I called you man, I was running
behind up my driver got stuck in traffic. He said,
you didn't think to get a cab. I said, no,
I didn't think to get a cab. Well, if if
a cab would have gotten you here on time, you
think that would have been better. I said, no, I
can't get in cabs. Dog, I'm famous. I don't know
where this dude and to take me. I got a
drive All of a sudden, he got Steve Harven and

(01:18:04):
camb Now I'm in the back of the French Quarter
getting my ass whooped.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
Coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour. It's
our last break of the day, and of course we'll
get some closing remarks from the one and only, our
fearless leader, Steve Harvey.

Speaker 8 (01:18:21):
Rather be a little late right after this, you're.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. Here we are last break
of the day.

Speaker 6 (01:18:28):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
It's been a pretty fun, crazy, crazy ignorant day on
this crazy Ignorant show. A lot of fun today, But Steve,
now it's time to get a little serious and so
we can learn ourselves something.

Speaker 6 (01:18:42):
I just want to encourage people to do something really
really simple today. And I think this is something that
most people would agree to want. It's really just simple.
Everybody should want more for your life. I'm talking about
your life right there, the ones that you have. You

(01:19:03):
should want more for your life. You should never allow
yourself to become complacent. Now, I want you to understand something.
Some people get complacency confused if they don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
To seem ungrateful.

Speaker 6 (01:19:21):
Once again, some people get complacency confused with not wanting
to appear ungrateful. Well, I don't want to keep asking
God for nothing because I don't want him to think
I ain't grateful.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
For what I have.

Speaker 6 (01:19:35):
Well thanking for it. Then that's really simple. Simply thank
God for what you have. That's the gratitude. But then
it's still okay to want more.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
For your life. Here's the good news.

Speaker 6 (01:19:51):
God actually wants you to have more for your life.
God is really looking for people to show off. I
happened to raise my hand all the time and volunteer.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
I do.

Speaker 6 (01:20:06):
I just say, God, pick me, come on, do me,
use me, show me. Now that doesn't mean I'm perfect.
I'm far from it. But I do want God's blessings
to be able to flow through me. So I keep
an open channel in my life for that stuff to
flow through. First of all, I want more. That's the

(01:20:30):
beginning of getting it. Then I have the good sense
to ask him for more. You have not cause you asked. Now, well,
I happen to be a big asker of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
So now I want more. I ask for more.

Speaker 6 (01:20:50):
Now here's the trick to asking for more and wanting more.
You have got to be willing to do more. Uh oh,
now you got to do more.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:21:07):
That's the one thing that stops so many people from
having and wanting more for their life. If God will
give you blessings and God will increase your measure in life,
if God comes to give you life and give you

(01:21:27):
life more abundantly, if He's promised to do that for you,
and what you have to do in return is you
have to be willing to do more. See, you can't
get more without doing more. Convenience is built through inconvenience,
you can stop wanting what you see everybody else with

(01:21:48):
and you ain't willing to do what everybody else did
to get it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
Quick look at it. Oprah's power over there.

Speaker 6 (01:21:54):
If you ain't willing to do what Oprah did, the
average person is not because the average this person wants
to be comfortable, and you can't be successful and stay comfortable.
I was interviewing the wrestler on my show yesterday, Dave Batisse,
a great story man. This cat was really out of it,
really really fascinating story he had and we were talking

(01:22:20):
and he was talking about living outside your comfort zone.
And I told him one of the things that I've
had to learn how to do in order to become
successful is I've had to become comfortable with being uncomfortable.
He said, wow, Wow, that's a great way to put in, Steve,

(01:22:40):
I have learned how to be comfortable while I'm uncomfortable,
Because in order to get successful, you have to be uncomfortable.
You have to do things that you don't feel like
doing all the time. You have to show up on
your I want to show up. You have to be

(01:23:01):
there when you feel like being somewhere else. You have
to say yes a lot of times when you really
want to just say no. That's where you're at, man,
that's how you become successful. But you can't keep asking
God for more and you ain't willing to do more.

(01:23:22):
It doesn't make any sense. It cannot happen that way, folks.
So come on, I want you to want more for
your life. But there's a scripture that bags that up
to It said to whom much is given, much is required. Navi,

(01:23:43):
you don't want the requirements, then he gonna have to
pull up on the given. But if you want the given,
know that here'll come the requirements more time. If you
don't want the requirement, he's gonna have to pull up

(01:24:05):
on the giving. Do not be the one who blocks
your own blessings. Want more for your life and be
willing to do the things to accept and receive more.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
It's just disciplined. It's just some more work.

Speaker 6 (01:24:24):
But if you just cut out some of the bs
man man, just cut out some of the happy hours,
just cut out some of the drinking. You can't smoke
one every day though. You can't go to all the clubs.
So man, you're just gonna run all the women that
that's that's that's, that's what you're gonna do all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
I got news for you.

Speaker 6 (01:24:49):
Lest you can't be successful, you can't drop it.
