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 all at all, So.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Don't give them the boozy.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Yeah, listening to to.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't joy?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah, Joy, you know you.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Love?

Speaker 6 (01:06):
You gotta turn. I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Go to turn the mouth turn.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You probably got to turn the mouth the word of
the monja. Look, come come out your think, huh, I
sure will. Good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
It is Steve Harvey.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, I got a radio show. Okay, this is timely
for everybody. I'm sure I want to offer you all
some encouragement because everybody needed. Let me tell you something.

(02:34):
You strike out on your goals, you strike out on
your aspirations, and so you strike out. As it happens
to all of us. Here it comes life. Life just
hits one of them bad notes, as it always does,

(02:54):
as it always does for all of us, for everybody. Now,
when those bad notes happen, when the haters come out
of nowhere, when the setback comes up, when when the
eyut of nowhere appears, when now I didn't see that
coming comes, Here's here's what you have to do here

(03:19):
is the thing that I have been teaching myself for
years that I used to not always understand. So I'm
trying to give it to you. You have to be
encouraged anyway. Now that's difficult, okay, Steve, what you're talking about.
You just told me all this discouraging stuff that can happen,

(03:42):
and you said you got to be encouraged anyway. Yeah, man,
you have to, because what's happening to you right now,
the thing that you're going through right now, the thing
that everybody's going through right now.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Ain't nobody on smooth said yelling man.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Everybody got something and if they if they don't smooth sailing,
just know this is coming. There's nothing I'm wishing on anybody.
It's just that this is life. This is how it
happens everybody, So please stop stop getting on the old
woe is Me bandwagon, the old lord? Why met old lord?
Something always happened to me, something always happens to everybody.

(04:26):
But here's what you got to do. When you get
in moments like this, you got to be encouraged. You
got to remember in those times, in those times when
it's going wrong, you got to remember all that you've
been through. You got to remember all that you've come through.

(04:47):
You have to remember those other times when you felt
like this, and somehow, unexplainably you don't even really stop
to say nothing about it. It just changed for you.
And the problem that was is no more. And the
situation that seems so insurmountable, you got over it, You

(05:09):
got around it, you got over it. Sometimes you just
got to slide right under it. Sometimes you got to
plow through it. But in those times when it's discouraging
for you, when you feel like giving up, those are
the test. Those are the moments that will determine whether

(05:36):
we make it or not.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'll tell you one thing for sure.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
If you give up in these moments right here here
is a for show you'll never make it.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
That that's unquestionably the deal.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
If you give up in these dark times, if you
give up in these what you think is insurmountable moments,
if you turn back now here is the one thousand
percent for sure you ain't gonna make it. But there
is a bright side to this situation. If you keep

(06:11):
your head down, if you keep forging, if you keep
pressing on sometimes if you just stand there and sometimes
get knocked to your knees.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
But if you stay in that place.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
If you just stay there and ride the storm out,
my head is bloodied but unbowed. If you can just
stay there, if you consit in that moment and ride
it out, you will win. You will pass the test,

(06:47):
and you will get to move on to the next level.
But there is no next level without a test. You
can't get to grade six without passing grade five. You
can't be your senior without first being a junior. You
can't graduate without fulfilling the hours and requirements. You see,

(07:09):
I don't care what you do in life. Look at it.
It's all set up on levels. Well, you've got to
accomplish the thing before in order to get to the
next level. And when you've made those level accomplishments, you
get to graduate. That you can go on and get
a master's and a pH d. You can go on
and become rich. You can go become wealthy, or you

(07:31):
can go or you can go somewhere and think yourself
in another set of circumstances. But you got to go
through something to get to something that ain't nothing free.
So you can stop that notion about being successful. That
is easy. Come on, man, if it was easy. What
we don't what we're talking about. It is not easy.

(07:51):
Stop thinking it is. It is difficult. But I'll tell
you what's even more difficult than becoming successful. What that
is Try not being successful your whole life. That's hard.
You are listening to a person who has done them
both been successful and really really been not successful.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
And I got news for you. Both of them hard.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
But I would rather deal with what it is to
be something, to make something out of myself, to force
myself to go to work when I don't feel like it.
This morning was a rough get up for me, but
I got up and I said thank you anyway, never
give up, and I do the watch this dude to
Heed the mess around and got close to me because
he just never gave up.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Get You can never ever give up. Never, It's not
an option.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Giving up cannot be an option for you.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
You cannot do that. It's out of the question.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's inconceivable in your mind to quit, because to quit
is to what what you get when you quit nothing?
That is a reward for those who hang in there,
who never give up, who forge through, who see it through,
who get knocked down and get back up, who gets trample,
but somehow gathers themselves and get back to your knees.

(09:19):
But stay in that place, man, don't ever give up.
Don't let go be encouraged. Think of all you've been through,
Think of all you come through. Think of all He's
done for you. Think of all the times you thought
you wasn't gonna make it, but somehow, without you ever.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Even saying thank you, he got through. He got you
through it.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Anyway. That's that thing called grace. Now we kind of
need that in our life. All will all I need
is a little more grace. You can't give God no
money for grace, man. Grace is absolutely free. It's available
to everybody, but you can't get none if you quit.
Don't give up. I'll just tell you that flat out.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Don't ever give up your listening to the Steve Harvey
Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the ride and the ride

Speaker 1 (24:29):
All right?

Speaker 13 (24:31):
Why moving on to Desmond in Albany, Desmond rites, I
mean a year older than you, Steve, And like you,
I'm trying to eat right and I work out.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
I have a healthy sex life, but I'm not getting
it like I used to because of you. So many
of us men are trying to stay fit as we age.
But what about the mental health part of it? I
know you get knocked down, So how do you you
get back up?

Speaker 12 (25:01):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Good question? Doesn't prayer?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Very good prayer, prayer and faith.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
See I have a track record for getting knocked down
that every time I've ever been knocked down in the
whole entire sixty eight years.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I've always gotten back up.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So now with that type of track record, I have
no doubt that I will continue to get up.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
What people fail.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
To realize sometimes is you fail to look at all
the things you've overcome in your life and then something
new come up and you act like it's a natural catastrophe. No,
it's just another one of them things. And the older
you get, it's not that life gets easier. It gets
more complicated and more difficult. You just get better at
handling it. So knock me down if you want to,

(25:47):
you can stand over me, but be careful because I'm
getting up.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's no doubt in my mind that I'll get up.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's it's just no doubt why I've gotten up for
sixty eight years.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Man.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
All right, now, now let's talk about this now. Because
you was talking about six. You getting up. He don't
always make the trip you can get up.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
He may not always make it two times.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, because he came in here talking about six. All right,
we know nobody getting it like that.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
It ain't giving it.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
You not only ain't getting it like you used to,
you ain't giving it like you used.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
To Hello, Hello, Jerry and Jefferson flo because most times
if I call my husband, he will get another call
and he'll answer it and then click back over and
say it was a spam call. It's funny that he
never gets spam calls at home. My gut tell me

(27:00):

Here Stephen Shirley. I'm a fifty two year old widowed
woman and I find it hard to find a partner
that will satisfy me. I've been back in the dating

(56:37):
pool for six years and I've slept with three men,
and none of them measured up to my ex husband.
One of them came close, but he couldn't last as
long as my husband. When I say measure up, I
mean that the men are in a different size class.
They were all younger than I am, so I assume
that God stopped passing out big ones after the seventies.

(57:00):
I decided to date an older guy that goes to
my church. He's fifty eight, and the sex was so disappointing.
He knows how to make love, but he's not blessed
with sighs. He is also a cuddler, and I don't
like the way he smells. His beard, oils and body
sprays irritate my sinuses and it's hard for me to

(57:22):
relax when my nose is burning. He always asks me
why I'm resisting a relationship with him, and I finally
told him that I want my next real relationship to
be perfect because my husband has set the bar pretty high.
He said, since we were being honest, he wanted me
to know that he's seeing another lady, but he likes

(57:42):
me more. He said, we're perfect for each other and
he could spend the rest of his life with me,
but he does not want to get married. He wants
to live together. He said that he is ready to
take an all to take on all of my financial responsibility.
Then he told me that he's as close to perfect

(58:03):
as I'm going to get. At my age. The pressure
is on me now. That whole conversation irritated me, but
maybe he's right. I want desperately to be married again,
but this man made me a great offer. Would I
be foolish to let him go and keep on dating
other men in hopes of finding my next husband. There's

(58:24):
a lot going on in this letter. It would be
called settling. If you married this man and don't get
what you want. You've compared all of these men to
your husband, and that's not gonna work because you don't
even like this guy. What do you even have in common,
you have anything in common. He likes to cuddle afterwards,

(58:45):
you don't because his smell bothers you, and you say
sex with him is disappointing. So what is the point?
And I know you're not okay with him dating another
woman while he's dating you.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (58:57):
He offered to take care of you financially, you're considering it.
I don't think you thought this thing through at all.
This man does not want to get married, and you
do so again, what is the point? You have nothing
in common? You say the pressure is on you now,
but it's not really. You could take your time. You're
only fifty two years old. Don't get married because you're

(59:20):
desperate and you have to take these men for who
they are. You can't compare them to who your late
husband was. And desperation is certainly not a reason to
rush into a marriage to you, I say, slow down,
all right, come on birthday boy?

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Yeah? Well you know what in honor or my new
mantra for twenty twenty five, Uh huh, I could give
more less than So I'm gonna read this letter of
how I'm really feeling.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
All right, Okay, I don't feel anything for him slash.
He may not feel nothing for you either. Well let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
I'm fifty two, old witted women and I find it
hard to find a partner that would satisfy me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
I've been to Dayton Pool six years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
I'd have slept with three men, and none of them
measure up to my ex husband. One of them came close,
but he couldn't last as long as my husband. Well,
let me go through something in this letter. First of all,
I think you might be too much if you ask me,
But who you keep comparing all these people to? One

(01:00:33):
of them came close, but he couldn't last as long
as my husband? Your husband dead? Can we be clear
about this? He is gone? So how long did he
really last? Because he dead?

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
So far? Everybody else is our lasting? His ass he gone?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
So now all is hear about how long your man
can last? And all that he gone? He gone so
much for lasting? He might can make love a long time,
but he damn sure couldn't live too far.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
So now what is you?

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
What if we want to trade it? I don't feel
like it today. What I say measure up? I mean
men are.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Different size class. Oh, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
They are all younger and I'm assuming God stop passing
out big ones after the seventies.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Now, can't nobody measure up?

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
It could be you once again, it could be you.
You know, sometimes when you're talking about a man's size,
sometimes we need to talk about your size. Oh hello,
the opposite.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
It's a track.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
What goes around comes around. Something can be too small. See,
we just need to have an honest conversation here. Maybe,
just maybe it ain't to me. I just want to
put that out there for consider ration. I'm celebrating my

(01:02:13):
sixty eighth birthday today.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Yes, you are in my lifetime.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
I've had one experience, and I'll tell you about it
when I come back.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
All right, coming up automatic.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
At twenty three minutes after the hour, we'll recap the
Strawberry letter, and we'll have part two of Steve's response.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
All right, come on, see let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject I don't feel anything for him.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Well, like I said, I'm doing this letter. It was
my new mantrel that I could give. I could give
more less than an I'm fifty two years old. Woman
find it hard to find a party that was satisfied.

Speaker 12 (01:03:31):
Men.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
And what we don't know is all she talked about
is six This is all she talked about in this letter.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I've been back in the Dayton pool six years.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
I've dated three men, and none of them could come
close or last as long as my husband, who is dead.
I just want to point that out. He could last
a long time, but he is dead. That's what widow means.
That means you was married to somebody, but they have
passed away, so missed.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
I can't last a long time. Is dead. We know what, daddy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
I'd rather be here than be able to be in
bed with you for three hours.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
I'd rather be here.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
I can go to the store or something set up
in here and be into bed with.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
You for three hours.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I'd rather go to the damn store, walk around Target
with Monica. That's what I'd rather do if I had
a choice. I'm not finish, sit up in here and
trade in my life shore. I can be dead and
then people talking about me how long I last in bed?
How long did I where my next birthday at? That's
the one I'm looking for. Anyway, when I say mersure up,
I mean that men are in a different size class.

(01:04:41):
They was all young, and I'm assuming God stop passing
out the big ones after the seventh so you just
want a big one? Well, you know, and they got
to look at it like this. Things can be too small,
but something it can be too big. Now I got
great share. I'm sixty eight years old and I've had
an experience one time. Well, I was just was not
who I thought I was. I was considered, as you

(01:05:04):
are calling in this letter, inadequate. But I've discovered in
my life that it wasn't that I was inadequate. It's
that who I was dating was too much. That was
just one date. It's just one date. One night, the
only full one, No, and that's what it was. And

(01:05:24):
I couldn't wait to get up out of there once again.
Maybe ish u. He is a cuttler, and I don't
like the way he smells his beard oils and body
sprays irritate my sinuses. That's because he buy that stuff
down on the corner in the hood. The musk oils,
them oils that they sail on the street. The musk oils.

(01:05:44):
Don't buy that. Go to stove and get you some
colone in a bottle. That musk oil is whoa good lord?
You being there smelling like a ringano and basil. It
smelling like fresh cut grass being there k Walker after
wild smell like hey, you know when you get hot,

(01:06:07):
then musk all had you in that smelling like an
old ass college. It just you have just been up
in there like what is he got on? What is
them turnips?

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
And he always asked me why I'm resistant relationship with him?
And I finally told him I want my next real
relationship to be perfect because my husband had set the
ball pretty up pretty hot. Were talking about him. He dead,
I ain't gonna tell you this now more. This is
the third time. You the body dead ass up Now
if he was all that, he.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
Still be living. He dead, and you want everybody act
like the dead man. It's not fit to happen. I
don't know nobody dead. I want to be like.

Speaker 8 (01:06:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Damn it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Stop asking these men to live up to your dead
ass husband, because he not.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
He wanted me to know that he's because I'm perfect,
because my husband had set the ball pity, he said,
since we being honest, I'm seeing another lady.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
But I like you more. Wow, he said, we're perfect
for each other.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
He could spend the rest of his life with me,
but he does not want to get married. He wants
to live together. He don't want you. He don't want you,
and you don't want him. He stink, He stink, and
he's small. You don't like his bed oil, you don't
like his set. He probably smelled like his house. You

(01:07:36):
ever been over his house? He fifty eight, lived by himself.
All people house smell, butcher house smell. I used to
go by butchery house. He lived with his honest he smelled,
had just a different little twang to it, and that's
what it is. He buy himself, got his shoes at
the door and stuff Jim's shoes under the bed. Got

(01:07:58):
a pair of you know, laundry room stay open. He
ain't got no hand for clothes, just in the floor
somewhere he's stinking.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
He said that he was ready to take on all
my financial responsibility. Oh, that's a big one. Then he
told me he's close to perfect because I'm gonna get
it my age. Shirley said, you shouldn't settle, but you
do have to consider this now because you're dating for
the wrong reason. If you're dating for good sex, are
you dating for a man that can care for you
and take care of it. I think he's checking all

(01:08:29):
the boxes. The precious on me now. The whole conversation
irritated me, but maybe he's right. I want desperately to
be married again. This man has made me a great offer.
Would I be foolish to let him go and keep
on dating other men? Well, you need to stop dating
all these other men in the hopes of finding my
next husband.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
You ain't gonna find your next husband.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Your next husband gonna have to find you that you
then already had a man say he's spend the next
rest of.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
His life with you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
He just don't want to marry you, so something wrong
with you, And he'd had already told you he's seeing
another woman. He just liked you better. You know why
he see another woman because it's a better fit. That's
why you're seeing another woman.

Speaker 16 (01:24:39):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
And closing, you know what I want to say.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Man, First of all, let me just give thanks and
honor to God Allmighty for just giving me a life
of longevity and a life and a life of health.
I'm healthy, man, and I thank God for that. I
think we all should be grateful for our health, whatever

(01:25:02):
measure of health we have. Some of us is going
through some things, but the key is through it, going
through it, gotten past it. And so I just want
to thank God Almighty for a life of longevity and
of good health. I hope I live a long life.
I hope to live a lot longer. That's one of
my prayers. I want to live a long time. I

(01:25:25):
got some things I want to see, you know. I
want to see all my son's children I want to
see I want to live long enough to see my
grandkids have a kid. You know, I'd love to be
around to see that, you know. I want to live
long enough to see what little BJ gonna turn into,

(01:25:45):
see what he end up doing with his life. Is
he gonna ball, is he gonna coach, if he's gonna
be in computers, if he's gonna build something. I just
want to see it all, man. I want to I wanna.
I want to live an impactful life. I want to
change the way African Americans view Africa. I want to
change the way Africa view are African Americans. I want

(01:26:07):
to change the way black people travel. I want to
change the way black people view themselves. I want to
be a contributor to the uplift and edification of black people.
I'm not going to be a part of the demise
of black people. I'm not going to be a part
of the culture of criticizing a person all the time.

(01:26:29):
I want God to always keep it in my heart
that I be a motivational person, a positive person that
tries to bring people up instead of tearing people down.
I wish I could change that culture that we live
in now, but I don't know if I'm capable of
doing that. But I know I'm capable of doing my share,
and I invite everybody else to do the same. Be

(01:26:51):
in the uplift uptick business. Don't be in the tear
down business. You can do that now. I know it
seems to be popular nowadays for clicks and likes for
people to be in the negative business. But you don't
have to be a part of that. You know there's
a price for that. There's a penalty you have to pay.
The Bible says do unto others as you would have

(01:27:12):
them do unto you. So if you're in the hate business,
do you understand that God's laws are real, that you
are not free to escape his laws, the laws of
the universe, the thing that God put into play, do
unto others as you would have them.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
Do unto you. Do you understand that that's in play that?

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Do you understand that we have an obligation to love
one another, to treat each other right? Do you know
that we are under a mandate to be kind to
one another, to do something for the less fortunate? Do
you understand that we have that placed upon us? Now,
you can ignore it if you want to, but that
don't stop the placement. Do you understand that the law

(01:27:58):
of attraction is real, that it is is what it is,
that what you put out is what you're going to
get back. Do you know that you operate just like
a remote control on a TV. Do you know if
you point your remote control at your TV this is
where it came from, and you press the own button,
you look at your TV with the expectation.

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
Of one thing for that TV to come on. Do
you know if HBO or.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
Is channel four point fifty, if you press four point
fifty and select and point it at your TV, do
you know you actually stand there with one expectation for
HBO to come on your TV? Do you know what
appears on your TV? HBO? Do you know where they
got that concept from? They got that concept from God?
Because God said a man is as he thinketh, and

(01:28:42):
if he can put that concept in a remote control.
The most powerful remote control you have is your brain.
Do you know that your brain has the power to
emit a signal and that signal has to be returned.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Do you understand that's how life works?

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
So mental remote control is emitting negative signals. Do you
know what has to come back to you? Negativity? Some
people can't figure out what they life can't get on track.
It's because you keep wanting everybody else's to be off track.
Some people cannot figure out why they keep running on

(01:29:20):
a treadmill because you ain't pulling for nobody else, You
ain't helping nobody else.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
Sometimes, man, you can be and you are your own
worst enemy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
Stop mistreating your brother, Stop mistreating your sister. Get your
life together. I thank God that he gave me that understanding.
You can talk about me as much as you want.
When you get through talking about me, there's nothing you
can do. I heard somebody say I'm gonna destroy him.
Do you know My response to that is, I'm not

(01:29:55):
yours to destroy.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
See. I know who I am, and I know whose
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
I don't belong to nobody online. I don't belong to
nobody on the internet. I belong to my creator, the
person that created me. God created me, God made me.
God put this path I'm on in place for me.
God gave me my role, my destiny. God put me
on the mission. Not you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
And you think you can stop what God got planned.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
In the words of my boy Incy that be on
the Instagram all the time, you ain't that nice man.
You really ain't that nice that you think you can
stop what God got planned. Inky said it best You
Ain't that nice?

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
What God is? And I got all mine based on him.
I invite y'all to do the same.

Speaker 2 (01:30:44):
Man, get yourself a relationship with God and have the
best twenty twenty five you can have, because that's my plan.
Appreciate it man. Happy birthday to me. Thank y'all for everybody.
