Speaker 4 (02:01):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening
to the voice, come on dig me now, one and
only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, Okay, here's
what I want to share with you. Stop complaining. So
(02:29):
I had to legend. You see how I let that
one sit for a second. Stop complaining. Do you realize
without us even thinking about it, oftentimes we just complain
about stuff and it comes up in such subtle forms. Man,
(02:54):
I don't know why they're still letting that lady work there. Man,
If they don't fire this woman, Man, I don't know
what I'm gonna do. She try me crazy. She always
got something to say. I bet today, though, the way
I'm feeling right now, I bet she better not say
nothing to me today. Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, because day
(03:17):
it today it. I'm sick of her running in her mouth.
Last time she said something to me, I should have
said something to it. You know what I'm saying. I'm
just giving you a small example of how it starts
to snowball. Once you start to complains, it just carries
(03:38):
over into so many things. Man, Stop complaining about your car,
Stop complaining about your bus pass, Stop complaining about your
kids can't seem to get it together. Stop complaining about
your man can't seem to get it together. Stop complaining.
Stop Have you noticed? I'm just asking, have you noticed
(04:00):
that in all of your complaining, it has provided not
one solution. The reason I'm telling you to stop complaining
because God is able, Because God is capable. He is
capable and able of fixing anything, capable and able of
(04:26):
curing anything, capable and able of allowing you to get
to adjusting to things, and capable and able to strengthen
you to get through and change anything. But the key
(04:47):
here is God is capable, and God is able. A
lot of times I find myself complaining because I have
not used my greatest asset, and that's my relationship with God.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You all have one. Now.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You may not have nurtured it, but you have one.
Because God created you as his child. He's available to
you now. The fact that you ain't went to him. Okay,
once again, who fought as that? Stop complaining until you
strengthen your relationship with God and formulate this relationship. You
(05:26):
don't have enough weapons. You ain't got a big enough
shield to fight this thing called life. It just keeps coming. Man,
And unless you develop a relationship with God, you need
a partner in all of this. Maybe you got another
route you're gonna take. But every successful person I know
(05:50):
personally has a relationship with God. I have some really
really some people that's kind of up there in the
success term in terms of business and money and statute.
I'm just talking about that portion of success. And then
I have a lot of people who are very successful
(06:12):
in their spiritual life, who have become great men of
God and women of God. But look at all of them,
and all of them have substantial amounts of you know,
possessions and things like that. Also, most successful people I
know have that. Even if you saw them never with
(06:36):
a big lot of house and a lot of money
or stuff like that, they had so much respect, so
much love, so much power was given them from people
that their life was rich in that area, you know,
like Ahma Luther King or something like that, or Gandhi
(06:57):
or somebody who lived their life in search us or
a Nelson Mandela who came out and just man, people
put stuff at their feet because of their service. So
all successful people I know have that, Every last one
of these people that I know, they have relationship with God.
They use the tool that was available to them to
(07:18):
give them the strength, the bullets, the arrows, the slings,
the shield to fight this thing called life and have
the most valuable partner right there by they side. They
heavily father God because he will help you get through
this thing called life. Man, stop complaining all the time.
It's not fixing anything. Why don't you do yourself a
favor and strengthen your relationship with God?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Man?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Why can I never get over? Well you have not
because you asked not. Man, how come I always got problems? Well,
you keep trying to solve them yourself and taking them
to your friends. You keep trying to do them with
your own thought process.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Who are you? I keep telling you?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Man? You going through stuff you ain't got no business
going through And if it's you going through something.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Over and over and over and over, and.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
The same problem keep coming back to bite you again,
all that's saying is you still ain't strengthen your relationship
with God. He's your relationship. He's not gonna make you
have one with him. He is a perfect gentleman. He
only comes into your life when you invite men. But
for those who do invite a men, they have a
(08:27):
distinct advantage on their road to success, a distinct advantage.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You can do it without him, Trust me, you can.
How far you get.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I can't promise you nothing, how well you handle it
when you arrived there, I can't promise you nothing, how
long you gonna stay there, I can't promise you nothing.
How difficult it is going to be without him. I
can't give you that. It's going to be far more difficult.
But you can. Something can happen, and you, you know,
(08:58):
receive a measure of success. And think is you and
this move you made, and you can describe it as
I got lucky. I happen to be in the right
place at the right time. I got lucky. Lucky is
usually how other people describe other people's success. Boy, he
was lucky. He was right there. Well, let me tell
you what lucky is. Lucky is when hard work bumps
(09:19):
up into opportunity. If you've been working hard as something,
the opportunity presents itself that comes a match. That's not luck.
But now, if you haven't done that on a repetitive
enough basis, that opportunity could present itself one time. You
got to reconnect. Stop complaining, man, come on, listen to me.
(09:41):
Stop complaining. It hasn't fixed a single thing in your life.
And if you are a chronic complainer, it's because you
really really have not fixed your relationship with God. He'll
move it out for you. That I can tell you
for a fact. I know that for a fact. He's
smooved mine out. All right, let's go.
Speaker 1 (09:59):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
