Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day on this Wednesday. It's been a good day, really
good day. And Steve, before we get out of here,
we have one more clo for you. This person needs
your help. This is April and Richmond.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Maybe it could turn into close the remarks depends on
how good it is. If not, I'm sure Junior will
have another inquisitive question.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
All right, this is April and Richmond. April writes, I
had sex twice with a married guy and he will
not leave me alone. I met him when I was
on vacation in New York. That was three years ago,
and I haven't seen him since then. He won't stop
texting and sending flowers. Should I give in and see
him or not? She needs your help?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Okay, Junior, get your question ready. I really don't care
what you do. Once again, this is another example of
the new norm. I mean, you're you're ignoring the fact that, Okay,
is he married or she married?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
He's married, he's married.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You met him, you had sex with him, he won't
stop calling. Should I contact him and give in? I
don't care what you do, really, I mean, you know,
y'all come on now, you can't ask us to co
sign this mess. I understand. Look, consensual sex is consensual sex.
(01:33):
You can do anything you want to do. But in
the words of my father in law, just because you
can do something don't mean you should. And that ain't
a true statement. I don't know what it is. Now.
You can go and see this man, but where you
going though? That ain't it ain't gonna make it right.
It ain't gonna make it okay. That don't mean there
(01:55):
ain't no risk involved it just so all these new
norms people for god, I just man, but they act
like it's like it's part for the course. So Julia
wants your question.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Many you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Let me it talk about this. You know, the minute
you tell somebody no, the minute you can't do something
for them, you choose not to do it. You know,
they just want to cut you off. They cut you off.
But how do you know when you need to cut
people off?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Right? Then? Well then thank you, yeah, thank you. I
wish you would ask me for something. Then I don't
come through with it, then you cut me off. Okay, cool,
thank you, thank you. But see, it goes back to
something I learned a long time ago, which was a
(02:46):
great clothing remark for me. I didn't understand what this
guy had taught me. It's a guy that used to
work for me, and he taught me something. And then
he really taught me something. And the statement he made
to me, and I didn't understand it at the time,
but he said, loyalty has an expiration date. And I went, well,
(03:13):
that don't sound cool, because if I'm loyal, I'm loyal
to the end. But the lesson he was about to
teach me, and he taught it to me well, was
sometimes we are loyal to people who's loyalty to us
has went away quite some time ago. How many times
(03:36):
have you been loyal to somebody who, unbeknownst to you,
had stopped being loyal to you, but you, being the
person that you are, you remain loyal to them, not
realizing that you were being loyal to a person who
was no longer loyal to you. And then he taught
this lesson to me because I was not understanding that,
(03:57):
But then he turned around and he showed me exactly
what he meant by that, And it was one of
my great lessons in life because I was employing him
and keeping him around me and allowing him to exist
when he was all about himself. He was just all
(04:18):
about him. He was trying to do things on the side.
You know. He even told somebody one time, Hey, if
you want to meet with Steve, that's ten thousand dollars.
Who do that? I'm never in my life told somebody there,
I'd pay me some money to talk to me. Now, man,
(04:39):
what are you talking about? I mean, it was just
all types of deals. And so finally what I had
to learn was the reason he told me that and
the reason he shared it with me because God needed
me to learn this lesson that laws he does have
an expiration date. That sometimes you being the good person,
the bigger person, the best, that person, you stay loyal
(05:01):
to people who have long ago stop being loyal to you.
And it caused me to take inventory. I do round.
I used to do it every six months, but I've
learned I've had to tighten that down. So every sixty
days I do a inventory check. I kind of go
(05:26):
through my phones and my emails, and I make sure
that everybody who can call me and touch base with
me is a person who's pulling for me, cheering for me,
or praying for me. And that's it. And if you're
not one of those people, I block you. Now, if
(05:50):
you're a business person, you're not that close to me.
You may have my number cause we're doing business. That's
another thing. But I block people who are not pulling
for me, cheering for me, or praying for me. And
I just don't I don't have the time for that.
I don't have the time for small remedial or relationships.
(06:13):
I just don't have that kind of time. So I
take inventory every sixty days to go through my phone
and my emails to make sure that the people who
are surrounding my life are worth my time because if
they're not, their loyalty to you will expire right in
front of your face, but usually behind your back. Those
(06:34):
are my clothing remarks. Y'all have a great one today. Hey,
y'all talk to God today. He would absolutely love to
hear from you. Okay, y'all do that, y'all stay in peace. Man,
I'm up, body here, hurt man h.
